Chapter 2720: You Just Wait for Me

Within the Duoyin Kingdom, vast fields of green wheat stretched as far as the eye could see. It was currently summer, and there were still a few months until the harvest season.

Several scarecrows were set up in the wheat fields, and windmills were built on the granaries in the distance. This scenery was like something out of a painting.

The richness of the central region could be seen from the wheat fields before one's eyes. Compared to the central region, the extreme north was frozen, which was the territory of the Extreme Ice Lord. He was the lord of the Ice-born and the absolute controller of the extreme north.

And on the south side of the continent was the Aier Great Forest, where the elves lived, ruled by the Elf Queen.

Compared to the rich central region, the mineral-rich extreme north, and the stable south (Aier Great Forest), the eastern part of the continent appeared somewhat barren. This place was dominated by mountains and swamps, where barbarians, dwarves, and dragon-men lived. This place was also known as East Swamp.

These were the territories added up by the Six-Race Alliance. Humans, Ice-born, and Elves were strong, while barbarians, dwarves, and dragon-men were not well-regarded.

On the west side of the continent was Chimney Mountain, the territory of the Chaos Legion.

This place was almost a desolate land. Although there were many volcanoes, the climate here was not warm. There was snow all year round. Even in the warmest season, the snow on the ground would not completely melt. After stepping on it, one would step into a full foot of mud. This kind of climate was not even as good as the bitter cold of the extreme north.

Volcanic ash floated in the sky, and one stepped on half-melted snow underfoot. In this kind of climate, there was almost no natural crop output. Even with acquired farming, the return was very low.

The harsh environment, coupled with the constant civil war between Ancient Treants and Demons/Ghosts, made the degree of its badness imaginable.

If it weren't for the fact that the Gray Orcs' combat power was top-notch, and the Ancient Treants were innate war giants, these four races would have been slaughtered long ago.

Looking at the wheat fields before his eyes, Su Xiao could never figure out one thing: how did they maintain the border war with the harsh situation in Chimney Mountain?

Chimney Mountain faced the Duoyin Empire in the central region, with Ice-born warriors in the extreme north on the left, and the threat of the Elf Queen from the Aier Great Forest on the right—one fighting three.

The current situation was that the Chaos Legion of Chimney Mountain was being beaten to the ground and was almost flattened, but they just wouldn't submit. A large-scale battle hadn't broken out for more than a decade, but small-scale battles had never stopped.

Su Xiao felt that this was the Six-Race Alliance trying to find a way to control the population of the Chaos Legion, using resource advantages to slowly drag the Chaos Legion to death.

Not considering these for now, Su Xiao began to check the newly appeared War Merit Ranking. The rules of this ranking were simple and crude. The reward for the top spot was very tempting, the rewards for 2nd to 5th place were also good, and the 6th to 100th place were rewarded with 4 Real Attribute Points.

A total of 527 contractors entered this world this time. Most of these contractors came because of the War Merit Ranking, and one-fourth of them were randomly matched to this world.

Right now, no one had earned war merit, but in the no-ranking list, Su Xiao saw many familiar faces, such as Muxiao who had been bombed by Apollo, Mad Beast Gaske who took the wrong medicine, and Gulu who had just obtained the Dark Night Walker set.

Aside from these familiar faces, three people needed to be vigilant. First was the Gray Gentleman. Su Xiao didn't know if this guy was manipulating a puppet or if his main body had entered this world. If it was a puppet, then he had to go and slaughter it at the fastest speed.

If the Gray Gentleman's main body had arrived, then he couldn't act rashly. Without a probability of more than 90% of killing the other party, Su Xiao would not easily make a move.

Aside from the Gray Gentleman, the other two were Flame Master and Moon Apostle. Su Xiao had heard of Flame Master. It was said that this guy was originally a fire-type Mage, but as his tier increased, this guy's skills became more and more biased. His magic abilities were not mastered well, but he was extremely good at making mental power bombs.

As Flame Master's skills became more and more biased, his methods of making explosives also became more and more high-end. To this day, Flame Master could turn anything he touched into an explosive, including the enemy's body.

The last one, Moon Apostle, was a contractor of the Apocalypse Paradise, a super-strong summoning type. It was said that this was a mobile legion.

Compared to these opponents, Su Xiao cared more about the rewards for the top spot and 2nd to 5th place. If the rewards weren't tempting enough, he wouldn't focus on earning war merit.

Top spot reward: Dragon Hunter Set (Saint Spirit-level set, 3/3, can be fused into 1/1. After fusion, the set effect remains unchanged, and the equipment's independent bonus disappears).

2nd to 5th place reward: Origin Stone (Special item, the ranking determines the quality of the Origin Stone).

After seeing the reward for the top spot and the rewards for 2nd to 5th place, Su Xiao quickened his pace. He needed the Dragon Hunter set very much. At the current stage, he felt that the Dragon Hunter set would be a greater improvement to himself than the World Tree Fruit. The latter was more helpful for long-term development. If compared in overall value, the Dragon Hunter set could not be compared with the World Tree Fruit.

Even if he didn't take the top spot, the rewards for 2nd to 5th place were also very tempting. An Origin Stone could be sold for 5500 to 8000 Soul Coins in the trading market.

Regarding the issue of joining a faction, Su Xiao's faction had long been locked. With his identity as a War Demon, except for returning to Chimney Mountain, no matter where he went, he would be besieged by that faction. This could be seen from his existing reputation.

Duoyin Kingdom Reputation: -185200 points (Blood Feud).

Elf Race Reputation: -197620 points (Blood Feud).

North Territory Reputation: -149370 points (Deadly Feud).

Dwarf Race Reputation: -168000 points (Blood Feud).

Barbarian Reputation: -152770 points (Blood Feud).

Dragon-man Tribe Reputation: -176500 points (Blood Feud).

After Su Xiao took out a compass to determine the direction, he set off again. He first had to reach the border of the Duoyin Empire, then bypass the battlefield and reach the Black Ring Fortress of Chimney Mountain.

The scenery along the way was quite good. With the speed of Su Xiao's team, they reached the border of the Duoyin Kingdom around 3:00 PM.

Just as they arrived at the border, a faint burnt smell permeated the air. This should be the smell produced after some kind of fuel exploded at high intensity, most likely a war weapon.

After entering the border area for half a kilometer, Su Xiao saw that the emerald green wild grass stopped abruptly here, burned into black ash. Stepping on it would make a slight "click" sound.

Just at this moment, a loud noise came from the distance, and a huge fireball appeared in the sky. This fireball was orange-red, close to the color of magma. Su Xiao estimated that the diameter of this thing was at least several hundred meters.

After another loud noise, the giant fireball in the high altitude in the distance exploded, and the burning fire slag fell, falling downward like a goddess scattering flowers. The scene was extremely spectacular.

【Prompt: Hunter has entered the war zone.】

【Chaos Legion Great Lord ability has been activated by 30% (After completing Main Mission: First Ring, this temporary ability will be fully activated).】

【Great Lord Ability: Can summon the Ancient Horn and order the Ancient War Soul to blow this horn. The horn sound will affect a 5-kilometer radius. All Gray Orcs, Ancient Treants, Snake-men, and Demons/Ghosts in this area will be summoned by this horn sound and move toward the Hunter's location.】

【Prompt: The cooldown time for this ability is 1 natural day.】

Duoyin Empire, capital, inside a candy house.

A little girl wearing a Gothic dress was holding a candy in her mouth. With her cheeks puffed out, she was currently squatting on the back of a contractor. The contractor's heart had been pierced, obviously killed in one strike.

"Dragon Hunter set? A melee Saint Spirit-level set? Even if I get the Dragon Hunter set after having the Dark Night set... I can only sell it."

Gulu stood up. Suddenly, she thought of a problem: if she obtained the Dragon Hunter set, she could also sell it to Su Xiao. Wouldn't that be...

Thinking of this, the smile on Gulu's face could no longer be controlled. After confirming that there was no one around.

"You just wait for me, Daddy... pui pui pui, you just wait for me, Bai Ye!" ===== CHAPTER 2721 =====
