51 Fight to the Death!

After quickly counting the materials needed for the mutated beasts to break through, Wang Xiao suddenly revealed an awkward expression.

He had already used the [Mutated Core] he obtained in the demon spider’s nest on the Raging Lava Bear. Now, these materials could only allow it to undergo a normal breakthrough.

Not only was the increase in strength limited for normal breakthroughs, but after the mutated beasts advanced, they would also need more materials for the next breakthrough.

After tasting the sweetness of the Raging Lava Bear’s dual stats breakthrough, Wang Xiao knew that this was not the best time to break through. He decisively put away the materials he had prepared.

After looking around the battlefield and confirming that he had not missed any spoils of war, Wang Xiao rushed towards the base.

Wang Xiao originally did not plan to return so quickly. However, in the battle just now, he had already eliminated more than half of the invading Crimson Star people. The remaining ones that had escaped were all scattered throughout the secret realm. It was too inefficient to search for them one by one.

On the other hand, Wang Xiao also wanted to go back and ask if the others had the [Mutated Core]. Although this was a rare item, most of those geniuses had the support of their families. Perhaps someone had it in their inventory.

After crossing a few sand dunes, Wang Xiao saw the crazily expanding base in the desert. However, the current appearance of the base was simply worlds apart from before he left!

The towering city walls surrounded the entire base tightly. Countless Guardian Towers in the city supported a semicircular energy protective shield. From afar, it looked like the city was covered in huge mushrooms.

In addition, there were many huge equipment that Wang Xiao could not name. From the looks of it, they were not low-grade. However, they seemed to be buildings that were inclined towards defense.

“I’ve only left for a short while, but I’ve already built such a huge base… The talent of the construction lord is indeed terrifying!”

Wang Xiao muttered and arrived near the base. Just as he was about to find an entrance to enter, he heard a voice mocking him from above.

“Aiyo! Isn’t this the famous beast tamer lord? Why are you back so quickly?”

Wang Xiao looked up for a moment before seeing a person under an arrow tower on the city wall. Although he did not know the other party’s name, he remembered that he had robbed the other party previously.

Wang Xiao could not be bothered to waste his breath on the other party. He raised his head and shouted, “Open the gate! I want to go in!”

That person crossed his arms and sneered. “This is a base we built. Do you think you can come in just because you want to? Just because…”

Before he could finish speaking, a huge bear covered in flames appeared out of thin air.

Wang Xiao frowned and said impatiently, “Open the gate, or I’ll fight my way in myself!”

That person shuddered and instantly recalled the fear of being dominated by the Raging Lava Bear. He did not dare to say anything else and hurriedly opened the gate.

As soon as Wang Xiao entered the base, he realized that there were many more people here than when he left. They should have fled to a place nearby and taken the initiative to join when they saw this base.

When those people saw this “demon” who had once robbed them, they immediately discussed. Many people even glared at Wang Xiao without hiding anything.

Looking at their gritted teeth, if not for the fact that they were facing a great enemy and everyone needed to unite against a common enemy, someone would probably have already attacked Wang Xiao!

Sensing that the atmosphere was not good, Wang Xiao did not care. He went all the way to the center of the base and indeed found Zhou Xiruo, who was busy building fortifications.

Other than Zhou Xiruo, Lin Dong, Yang Fan, and the other geniuses were also present. At this moment, they were all gloomily taking out materials from their territories. There was a large pile by everyone’s feet. It was obvious that they had taken out all their trump cards.

“Everyone, you can stop now!”

Wang Xiao shouted. When the busy people saw that it was him, they all revealed surprised expressions.

“Wang Xiao? You actually returned alive?”

Lin Dong, who had always disliked Wang Xiao, was the first to speak. Then, he thought of something and his expression changed drastically. “Were you beaten back by the Crimson Star people? Are there any pursuers outside?”

Hearing the word “pursuers”, the others immediately revealed nervous expressions.

Tian Qiang directly broke down and cursed, “Wang Xiao! If you want to be in the limelight so much, can’t you die outside?! Why do you have to return to the base? You’ll kill us if you do this!”

“Tian Qiang! Stop talking!”

Fang Tianyu’s expression was also not good, but she still persuaded, “Now that the Crimson Star people are invading on a large scale, we can only survive if we unite. Moreover, at this point…”

At this point, Fang Tianyu turned to look at Wang Xiao. “How many pursuers are there? How strong are they?”

“No pursuers.”

Wang Xiao replied indifferently. Before anyone could react, he directly found Zhou Xiruo and opened his inventory. Instantly, a small mountain made of various materials appeared in the open space.

Seeing the sudden increase in resources, Zhou Xiruo immediately revealed a shocked expression. “Where did you get so many materials?”

“Spoils of war.”

Wang Xiao explained briefly and continued to ask, “How many attack buildings can these materials make?”

As expected of the construction lord, Zhou Xiruo took a simple look and replied, “If we have enough time, we can probably build 30,000 basic buildings or 10,000 intermediate buildings. I don’t have any blueprints for higher-level buildings.”

Wang Xiao nodded. “Then let’s begin.”

“Now?”

Zhou Xiruo was stunned. She looked at the base that was almost filled with fortifications. “But there are no more pits…”

“Then dismantle the existing buildings.”

Wang Xiao replied without hesitation, “I’ve already killed most of the Crimson Star people. These things can’t stop that Crimson Star royal family. It’s useless to keep them.”

“What? He said that he killed most of the Crimson Star people?”

“Did I hear wrongly? There’s a level three lord among those Crimson Star people!”

“Wang Xiao! Even if you want to be in the limelight, you have to pay attention to the occasion. You can’t say such things!”

…

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding geniuses exclaimed, feeling that Wang Xiao was bragging.

Even Zhou Xiruo revealed a suspicious expression. After all, she had personally seen the strength of those Crimson Star people. Wang Xiao had only left for a few hours. How could he have killed so many people?

“If I’m lying, where did these things come from?”

Wang Xiao pointed at the material mountain at the side. Instantly, everyone fell silent.

With so many materials, even if the wealth of the families of these geniuses were added together, it would not amount to this. They probably did not have so many resources in the entire secret realm.

Then, there was only one possibility for the source of these resources—spoils of war.

After a short silence, Fang Tianyu returned to her senses and said, “Wang Xiao, I know you’re very powerful, but that Crimson Star Royal Family is a level four lord. It’s definitely not something we can resist!”

“The military must have already thought of a way to come in and provide support. The safest way now is to build as many fortifications as possible and hold on until the military provides support…”

“Do you really think these things can stop a level four lord?”

Wang Xiao asked indifferently. Fang Tianyu was instantly speechless.

That’s right. Although there were many fortifications in the base, most of them were basic buildings. Even they could succeed in breaking through if given enough time, let alone a level four lord from Crimson Star.

For a moment, the atmosphere of despair spread again.

“In that case, why don’t we choose to fight to the death?”

Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows and said confidently, “I have a plan. Not only can we survive, but we might also be able to imprison that Crimson Star Royal Family!”
