retrieved the 【Cloud Heaven Fiery Demon Bow】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took the Crimson Flame Dragon's eye, reversed scale, and sinew from Xilfu's hands,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then threw them into the Dragonscale Forge together with the Cloud Heaven Fiery Demon Bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lord's crystal drove the dark energy core, injecting energy into the Dragonscale Forge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the forge ignited with black flames and began working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, the 【Cloud Heaven Fiery Demon Bow】

into the more powerful \"Fiery Dragon Demon Flame\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant-kill capability of \"Dragon Might\", originally effective against creatures level 15 and below,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>now became effective against creatures level 20 and below!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Provided the tier does not exceed Epic,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it now applies not just to ordinary monsters, but even to leader-class BOSSes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This benefit came from using the material of a Monarch-tier BOSS for the upgrade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original materials used to craft the Cloud Heaven Fiery Demon Bow came from the Fiery Demon Dark Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fiery Demon Dark Dragon was only a leader-tier BOSS,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>so the instant-kill effect could not work on leader BOSSes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the instant-kill effect of \"Dragon Might\" has expanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu wished there were a whole field of level 20 Epic leader BOSSes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>laid out before him, waiting for him to kill them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragon Might is truly monstrous, it can even instantly kill Epic tier leaders...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu murmured softly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but is it really Dragon Might that's monstrous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that a normal weapon likely couldn't have an instant-kill effect, even if it were Epic tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key lay in\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the master who forged this bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked towards Xilfu beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yiluodi, I'll leave the territory to you for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to go to the Elf race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" Yiluodi nodded, her expression unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed not to take Su Yu's words seriously, but in reality had already started to tense up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sky grew darker,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the three rested early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu held Xilfu's hand with one hand and grasped the Magic Teleportation Core with the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Magic Teleportation Core】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Type: item】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Tier: Epic】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Effect 1: Can input territory coordinates to perform long-distance teleportation; usable 3 times per day.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Effect 2: Can serve as construction material to build a Magic Teleportation Gate; no usage limit.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Su Yu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Effect 1 of the Magic Teleportation Core was more useful,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>because if it were built into a Teleportation Gate, how would one return after going?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lord could rely on suicide, but what about heroes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he currently didn't have a Magic Teleportation Gate blueprint at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd consider it later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he and his heroes possessed the ability to teleport back to the territory,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then building the Teleportation Gate wouldn't be too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Su Yu activated the magical teleportation core, casually inputting coordinates for an elf territory he had seen on the Wan Army forum,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and began the teleportation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pale violet teleportation glow enveloped Su Yu and Silph's forms, gradually fading away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iloti clenched her fist tightly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the lord was not home,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she must protect the territory well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the headquarters of the Demon Blood Alliance, in the underground city,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the thirteenth underground level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of meters underground, without sunlight, it did not show any darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soft light filled every corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a room decorated luxuriously, purple energy was majestic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fragrance of violet flowers, rich and mellow, was fresh and pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A noble woman wearing a violet robe, whose hem trailed onto the violet carpet,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>held a cup of floral tea, sipping lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had crimson violet curly hair, but her eyes contained six pupils,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>violet pupils, that captivate the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, her lips were also violet, giving a slightly eerie sense of beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was Spider Empress Niansi,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the leader of the Demon Blood Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spider

even signs of regression in their development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, a \"treasure-farming spot\" in an alternate dimension\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>had been discovered by an outsider,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>which left her feeling irritable,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and she hadn't been in a good mood for days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you have something to say,

submission and respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? A neutral unit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Niansi raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew her attendant well; there shouldn't be any possibility of him being bribed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then why... would he recommend someone from a neutral unit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How has that spider demon performed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Niansi asked calmly, her expression unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every time we raid a BOSS, she is always the first to charge in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When our scouting party was ambushed by a hostile lord's forces earlier, she was the only one who survived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her abilities are truly outstanding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spider attendant responded truthfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is her level?\" Niansi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is only level 32...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Level 32?
