91 Seen in a New Light After Parting for a Day

After taking a last deep look at the military building, Wang Xiao pulled up his collar to cover his face and hurriedly walked home.

After all, he had left the [Nirvana Mask] for Chen Jinrong. It was possible for him to be recognized at any time while walking.

Fortunately, there were fewer pedestrians on the way. Wang Xiao successfully returned home. After resting for a while, he entered his territory.

After fusing with the territories of the three secret realm hunters, the area of Wang Xiao’s territory also broke through the thousand-kilometer mark.

Coupled with the 11 city-states and 60,000 people, although Wang Xiao’s territory core was only level three, it already looked like it was on the scale of an intermediate lord!

The mountain range that stretched for several kilometers had already been completely devoured by the [Metal Devouring Ant]. The refined minerals had already been collected by the city residents, and the impurities had also turned into soft soil.

The mountain range that was in the way also turned into a thousand acres of fertile land. It could be considered an additional gain.

Then, Wang Xiao checked the items in the warehouse. Other than a large number of ordinary minerals, there were also six units of [Black Gold Ore].

This gain made Wang Xiao overjoyed.

He had already collected four units of [Black Gold Ore] previously. Coupled with these six units, not only could he deliver the orders of the supply lords, but he would even have two units left!

After bringing the Black Gold Ore out of the warehouse, Wang Xiao came to the side of the pool.

At this moment, this huge pit that was 300 meters wide and more than a thousand meters deep was already filled with water. It looked pitch-black, but the [Bright Moon Merman] had definitely hatched.

“Come out and see me.”

Wang Xiao said softly to the deep pool.

As soon as he finished speaking, the calm water surged. Then, a silverfish a few feet long poked its head out of the waves.

[Hao Yue Merman]

[Gold Quality Level 1]

[Infancy]

[It will take seven months to grow to the next stage.]

Because it was not a combat-type mutated beast, the growth speed of the [Bright Moon Merman] was much faster.

Wang Xiao glanced at the mutated beast information and asked the Bright Moon Merman to return.

The [Bright Moon Merman] could only produce the [Mermaid Tears] after becoming a youth. Although a year and seven months was not short, Wang Xiao did not plan to use the Ten Thousand Times Growth Increase.

Although the [Mermaid Tears] was good, it was not something Wang Xiao urgently needed. There was no need to waste the enhancement opportunity.

At this moment, a black bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky. Before it landed, it stirred up a violent wind, and sand and rocks instantly flew within a hundred meters!

Wang Xiao hurriedly lowered his center of gravity and stabilized himself. Then, he turned around and looked in the direction where the black shadow landed. Indeed, it was the Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon.

After not seeing it for a few hours, the injuries of the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] had already recovered. It squatted on the ground and raised its head, still as arrogant as ever.

However, after knowing that the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] was from the Crimson Star, Wang Xiao’s thoughts about this mutated beast changed slightly. Although his vigilance was a little serious, he was indeed not as close to it as before.

Therefore, Wang Xiao walked around the territory this time and even looked at the newly hatched [Bright Moon Merman]. However, he did not look at the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] because he did not know how to face it.

Now that the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] had taken the initiative to appear, Wang Xiao suddenly felt like he had been caught red-handed. He looked at the other party and opened his mouth a few times, but he still did not know what to say.

After being embarrassed for a while, Wang Xiao suddenly reacted. No matter where the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] came from, it was his mutated beast after signing the contract. As the [Beast Tamer Lord], why would he have to explain anything to his mutated beast?

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao immediately felt much more at ease. He ignored the gaze of the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] asking for praise and directly sent a signal through the contract to ask Zhou Xiruo to come to the territory to meet him.

A moment later, the light beside Wang Xiao twisted and Zhou Xiruo’s figure appeared.

“Why are you calling me in such a hurry? I’m busy…”

As soon as Zhou Xiruo appeared, she began to complain. However, before she could finish speaking, she saw the territory that had suddenly expanded by more than two times, as well as the dozen or so city-states. Her cherry mouth was directly shocked into the shape of an “O”.

Zhou Xiruo was already so shocked that she could not speak. It was said that a scholar who had been away for three days should be seen in a new light, but only a day had passed!

After a few minutes, Zhou Xiruo finally calmed down and probed, “You went to rob again?”

“…”

Wang Xiao almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He took a deep breath and said helplessly, “It’s not wrong to say that it’s a robbery, but I didn’t take the initiative this time.”

Then, Wang Xiao roughly explained what had happened in the [Mist Rainforest], but he hid the parts about Yi Han and Xu Junrou.

The reason was the same as before. Wang Xiao was still not sure if the cooperation with Xu Junrou and Zhou Xiruo would work out, so he did not want to say anything to Zhou Xiruo yet.

However, even if Wang Xiao only said half of the story, it was enough to shock Zhou Xiruo.

Especially when she heard that Wang Xiao was fighting three lords alone, Zhou Xiruo clenched her fists and breathed heavily, as if she was also present at that time.

It was not until Wang Xiao said that he had won and obtained all the other party’s resources that Zhou Xiruo heaved a sigh of relief. She turned to look at the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] at the side.

“Is this your new mutated beast?”

Zhou Xiruo walked around the Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon and did not hide the excitement in her eyes. “I didn’t expect it to be so powerful. Moreover, it looks quite cool!”

“Oh no!”

When Wang Xiao heard this, his expression changed. He reached out and pulled Zhou Xiruo into his arms.

Zhou Xiruo exclaimed and was about to struggle when she saw the Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon, which had been quiet just now, suddenly spread its wings and fly into the sky with a whoosh!

Amidst the flying sand and rocks, Zhou Xiruo’s expression became nervous. “What’s going on? Is someone attacking?”

“No, it’s just bored!”

Wang Xiao let go of Zhou Xiruo and turned around to spit out the sand in his mouth. “Its brain is abnormal. Don’t praise it in the future, or it will easily fall ill.”

“Abnormal?”

Zhou Xiruo was stunned when she heard this. This was the first time she had heard a lord talk about his soldier like this.

Looking at the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] that was flying around in the air and then at Wang Xiao beside her, Zhou Xiruo suddenly thought of something. “All soldiers take on the traits of their master.”

Wang Xiao did not know what Zhou Xiruo was thinking. After patting the dust off his body, he opened the interface and gave Zhou Xiruo the authority to modify the territory.

“Work hard for the next few days and modify those 11 city-states. Don’t worry about the materials. I’ll settle it.”

After Wang Xiao finished instructing, he thought of something and reminded, “But we’re not in a hurry, so rest when you should.”

“Thank you for your concern, I guess?”

Zhou Xiruo replied sarcastically. It was obvious that she was still angry from last time. However, before Wang Xiao could speak, she thought of something and asked seriously, “By the way, tomorrow night is the Fang family’s banquet. What gift are you preparing?”

“A gift?”

Wang Xiao was stunned. “Isn’t the Fang family thanking us for the banquet? Why would I need to bring a gift?”

“Of course you have to bring a gift when you visit for the first time…”

Zhou Xiruo suddenly reacted halfway. “Don’t tell me this is your first time attending such a banquet?”

Wang Xiao did not say anything, but his reaction was already equivalent to tacit agreement.

Although his previous results were not bad, his family background was ordinary. Naturally, no one would invite him.

“Alright…”

Zhou Xiruo sighed and looked at Wang Xiao helplessly. “It seems that we have more important things to do than transform the territory.”
