Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Hidden Trade Channel

Translator: Zayn_ 

Elise’s body instantly tensed up. She raised her hand and sent a fallen flame towards the direction of the strong wind. Then, she retreated with the other succubi.

The current Elise had a lot of combat experience.

A gray wolf was struck by the fallen flame. It let out a mournful cry and fell to the side.

Following that, several gray wolves swarmed up, pouncing towards Elise and the other succubi.

Tier 3 monsters, Gray Forest Wolves.

A total of ten gray forest wolves pounced over. It was obvious that they were cooperating, coming from all directions, blocking off all escape routes.

Elise did not panic. She stretched out her hand and shot out a fallen flame, then used her charm to charge towards the nearest gray forest wolf.

The remaining three succubi knew that their fallen flame would not deal much damage to the Tier 3 gray forest wolves, so they used their charm.

The succubi that came to the forest were all mutated succubi. Their charm was five times that of an ordinary Tier 3 succubi, and they instantly controlled four gray wolves.

The four gray wolves turned against their kin and attacked the other wolves beside them.

Another wolf was instantly incinerated by Elise’s fallen flames.

The remaining wolf charged at Elise, its sharp claws aiming at her head.

Although Elise was a Tier 5 succubus, her defense was not high. If she were hit by this attack, she would probably lose half of her life.

The gray forest wolf’s speed was very fast. Its sharp claws pierced through Elise’s head, but it did not hit anything solid.

The shadow that remained on the spot disappeared. Elise appeared behind the wolf. She raised her hand and a fallen flame landed on it.

The three succubi came to Elise’s side and guarded her.

Elise, who was a Tier 5, was like a commander to them. They would protect her automatically.

The only thing left in the surroundings were the gray forest wolves’ biting and miserable cries.

Elise looked around and was relieved when she found no other monsters in the vicinity.

She was still a little scared when faced with such a sudden attack. After all, she did not know what was happening in the jungle.

Elise’s heart skipped a beat. After entering the jungle, her suppressed perception seemed to have relaxed.

She extended her perception and instantly knew what was happening within a thousand meters of her.

The gray forest wolves appeared one after another in her perception, causing her expression to become grave.

There were many wolves in the surroundings. It was like a demon cave.

Fortunately, the distribution was not dense. Otherwise, more than ten gray forest wolves would have attacked just now.

They did not continue moving forward. When the remaining wolves were killed, Elise brought a few succubi and dragged the gray wolves’ corpses back to their territory.

Ren Qi shared her vision and already knew the situation in the forest.

“Master, although I only sensed the gray forest wolves, but judging from the night wind wolves that attacked last night, there should be a lot of wolf-type monsters in the forest ahead,” Elise said softly to Ren Qi.

Ren Qi nodded. “That’s right. But fortunately, they are all Tier 3 monsters. They can’t break through our territory, so we can use them to increase our strength.”

The wolf-type monsters in the forest ahead were all Tier 3. Some were adult, and some were underage.

It was suitable for Ren Qi. With Elise leading the team, they could basically kill these Tier 3 wolf packs without any losses.

In this way, they could rely on these wolf packs to obtain demonic meat and increase the succubi’ levels.

The succubi that stayed back in the territory started to use fallen flames and began to decompose the gray forest wolves’ corpses.

The wolves’ skin was peeled off, and their fangs were left behind. Then, the demonic meat was removed.

The wolf’s skin and fangs could be used as defensive or offensive weapons, or they could be sold for money.

The harvest this time was not bad. The most important thing was that they had a clear understanding of the situation in the forest so that they could take action in the future.

One of the succubi even found an energy crystal from a gray forest wolf’s corpse. She was quite lucky.

Next, Ren Qi asked Elise to lead ten teams of succubi to hunt the gray forest wolves in the forest. The remaining succubi would rest and start feeding on the wolves’ meat.

In the territory space, succubi could digest the demon meat indefinitely, but they could not do so after they materialized. After feeding to a certain level, they needed to digest the energy and increase their level.

Therefore, after a period of time, Elise would bring a team back and replace the succubi to fight, so that the succubi who had fought before could rest.

The succubi in the territory were not just eating demonic meat to level up. Some of them would also go to the forest to cut down trees and collect stone materials.

The defense deployment outside the territory required wood and stone materials, which were also needed for the expansion of the territory.

A day passed, and the harvest was great.

The territory was piled up with many gray gorest wolves’ corpses, and the succubi were doing their best to decompose these corpses.

Many succubi were injured, but it wasn’t a big deal. They just needed to recuperate. Fortunately, not a single succubus had died.

After storing the separated materials, Ren Qi did some calculations. Today, all the succubi had eaten, and not only did they not consume the demonic meat he had previously stored, but they also stored some extra demonic meat.

The situation was pretty good. Otherwise, he would have to use the stored demonic meat to feed them. Sooner or later, there would be a shortage of demonic meat.

After getting Elise and the others to roast the demonic meat, Ren Qi picked up a piece of roasted meat and ate it while checking the messages in the chat group.

[ Great Demon King: It’s been a whole day. I don’t dare to leave the territory’s gate. There are lots of monsters wandering outside. Fortunately, I bought a lot of defensive items. Otherwise, I would be in oblivion by now. ]

[ Sweet Bubble: I brought my troops to investigate the surroundings. I’m on a hill. There are a lot of Tier 4 monsters around. I tried to kill them, but it was very difficult. I can only wait for my troops to raise their levels. ]

[ Li Tianyu (Northwest Ranking #7) : Damn! I’m surrounded by Tier 5 monsters. I can only rely on defensive items to hide in the territory. However, my troops are Tier 6. When my troops level up, I’ll go out and kill them! ]

[ Zhang Yifeng: Haha, my territory is full of Tier 1 monsters. I’ve led my soldiers to kill quite a number of them. I’ve obtained quite a lot of Tier 1 demonic meat. I can now level up my soldiers. ]

The situation of each new lord was different. Some of the monsters around the territory were of lower tiers, while others were of higher tiers.

Those with higher-tier monsters in their surroundings could only hide in the territory and rely on the stored demonic meat to level up their soldiers.

As for those with lower-tier surrounding monsters, they could go out and hunt.

However, it was not good to be too low. For example, if there were only Tier 1 monsters, the level of the demonic meat they obtained would also be lower, and the upgrade of their units would be slower.

As for those lords with high-tier units, surrounded by Tier 4 or 5 monsters? When their units reached a certain level, they could go out and hunt these high-tier monsters. When that time came, their units would level up even faster.

At this moment, a message appeared in the group, attracting everyone’s attention.

[ Tianjizi: Everyone, I’ve found Lanhai’s hidden trade channel in my territory. It can still be used. You can check if there is one in your territory. ]

With that sentence, all the Lords started to move. They began to search for entrances to Lanhai’s hidden trade channel around their territory.

Lanhai’s hidden channels were trading channels that were laid underground. As long as the trading parties knew the other party’s location and negotiated the transaction items, they would be able to place them in the trading channel to be examined. After that, the channel would transfer the items to the corresponding parties parties.

This trading method was more secretive and safe, but there were not many routes laid.

Very soon, the public chat group exploded. Many lords found the entrance to the hidden trade channels around their territories. Some territories even had two or three entrances around them.

Of course, there were also some that had a single entrance with two or three lords around.

Ren Qi also had the succubus search and found an entrance to a hidden trade channel in the grassland not far to the left.

Ren Qi’s expression also became a little excited.

With the hidden trade channels, at least the new lords here could trade resources.

The exchange of resources might increase the survival rate by a lot.

Perhaps Lanhai Exchange did not expect that. As this was the border of the Five Nations, they had laid down many hidden trade routes here, which had now become the hope of some new lords.
