Opening their eyes almost at the same time, the soldiers were about to leap down from the tree woven roof when they caught sight of their commander.
"Go ahead. I'm sure he will join you later."
Seeing Bai Yung's state, Zhou Zhou said to the other soldiers.
Hearkening to their lord's command, Hui Teng and Qin We headed towards the elves while Lu Chong, Huang Sai and Sun Can carried out a massacre against the flame demon fog wolves.
Not having to wait for long, Zhou Zhou listened as Bai Yung confirmed what he'd seen in the mission interface.
The flame demon fog wolf scarlet lord would no longer be appearing again.
"That's really a pity. I would've loved to farm it every day."
He said before looking up at Bai Yung.
"Go assist your subordinates."
"Yes, my lord."
Bai Yung said before leaping down the building.
Waiting on the roof for his soldiers to kill a reasonable amount of fog wolves, Zhou Zhou began his task of pulling the corpses into his spatial ring and looting them.
After an estimated 17 minutes, he concluded the missions of clearing out the fog wolves and saving the elves.
At the same time, he rounded up the loots from the corpses of the flame demon fog wolves.
5,656 black iron-tier mist cores!
126 Green bronze-tier mist cores!
138 sets of black iron-tier intermediate grade flame demon fog wolf armor!
61 sets of black iron-tier advance grade flame demon fog wolf armor!
8 sets of Green bronze-tier elementary grade flame demon fog wolf armor!
3 sets of Green bronze-tier intermediate grade flame demon fog wolf armor!
69 incomplete sets!
And finally, 873 elemental archer recruitment books!
"I love this lord talent!"
Zhou Zhou sighed with a grin on his face.
…
Leaving the time ruin a minute later, he straightaway led his soldiers to the monster ranches recently upgraded by Elder Zhao and Mu Gu.
"Greetings, my lord."
Mu Gu, who had been waiting at the entrance of the monster ranches, immediately walked up to Zhou Zhou and said respectfully when he saw them arrive.
Zhou Zhou nodded and opened the other party's attribute panel.
[Subject: Mu Gu]
[Territory: Blazing Sun City]
[Life Profession: Monster Rancher]
[Profession Class: Green bronze-tier intermediate grade]
[Battle Class Name: Monster Shepherd]
[Strength Level: Green bronze-tier intermediate grade]
[Strength Level: Green bronze-tier elementary grade]
[Skills: Special Building – Monster Ranch, Green bronze-tier intermediate grade (Fog Monster – Communication, Taming, Control, Berserk, Appease)]
[Loyalty: Dead Loyal]
[Potential: Diamond-Tier Advance Grade]
Zhou Zhou nodded in satisfaction.
"How much has your ability increased?"
He asked.
"After I advanced to the Green bronze-tier intermediate grade monster rancher and monster shepherd, I can already manage 5 Green bronze-tier intermediate grade monster ranches at the same time!"
"Moreover, the upper limit of the number of nurturing per monster ranch has increased from 750 to 1,000!"
"The upper limit of the strength of the fog monsters that can be nurtured has also increased from Green bronze-tier elementary grade to Green bronze-tier intermediate grade!"
"And yesterday, Elder Zhao, the workers, and I have upgraded the original 3 Green bronze-tier elementary grade monster ranches to Green bronze-tier intermediate grade monster ranches!"
"Moreover, we built an additional Green bronze-tier intermediate grade monster ranch that has already been placed with monsters."
"A total of 60,000 units of basic materials, 600 Green bronze mist cores, and one origin crystal were consumed."
Mu Gu reported respectfully.
"You did well. Hui Teng will pay you for your service."
Zhou Zhou acknowledged.
This rate of consumption, other than origin crystals, was nothing to him now.
Then, he looked at the 4 brand new monster ranches.
They were 50% bigger than the original Green bronze-tier elementary grade monster ranch.
At the same time, their architectural style was even more ancient than before.
On the surface of its fence, were even some cravings of unknown monsters.
The 4 monster ranches had already nurtured 1,000 desert fog lizards, 1,000 black-tailed fog scorpions, and 2,000 sandmen.
He used the last monster ranch that had just been built to birth 1,000 more sandmen because of their ability to drop sand crystals.
The strengthening and improvement of the buildings in his city was very important to him.
Zhou Zhou was satisfied.
His daily fixed income and promotion energy had increased again!
"You all know the drill. This time you all would increase your strength a grade higher than yesterday."
"You can begin."
He said to his soldiers.
Looking at Bai Yung and Lu Chong, Hui Teng, Qin We and Man Nao waited for them to make their choice.
Sensing the gazes on him, Lu Chong directed his to Bai Yung.
"You're the commander."
He said to him.
"I will listen to my teacher."
Bai Yung said before picking the fourth ranch containing the sandmen.
Choosing the third ranch after Bai Yung made his choice, Lu Chong stepped inside.
"You gave me path. You should go first."
Qin We said before Hui Teng could say anything.
"You're wrong though. It was the lord who gave each of us a path."
Hui Teng said before moving towards the second ranch containing the black-tailed fog scorpions.
"Want to go first senor?"
Qin We asked Man Nao.
"Thank you for the offer, but I rather go last."
Man Nao shook his head, refusing Qin We's offer.
"Okay."
Qin We said as he entered the first ranch housing the desolate fog lizards.
After a day of using the Hall of Truth, a few individuals discovered that after an hour of practice in there, one won't be able to recall what they practiced in the following time spent.
With several more people testing it out, it was confirmed to be the truth.
And so, with an hour of practice in the Hall of Truth, Qin We extended his run to 321 seconds from 248 seconds of yesterday.
"5 minutes and 21 seconds from yesterday's 4 minutes and 8 seconds."
Huang Sai said as Mu Gu stopped the fog lizards from continuing their attacks on Qin We.
Watching as Zhou Zhou handed a couple of life potions and energy potions to Qin We, Sun Can commented.
"That's a progress of over a minute. Impressive."
Getting stung a couple of times, Hui Teng made his exit 33 seconds after Qin We.
"He's indeed the forerunner."
Zhou Zhou muttered seeing the gap Hui Teng had over Qin We.
"6 minutes and 2 seconds from yesterday's 4 minutes and 12 seconds."
Keeping track of the time, Huang Sai used an arrow to write on the ground.
Coming out after just 7 minutes and 21 seconds, Lu Chong was covered in blood and injuries.
Seeing Lu Chong's appearance, the soldiers weren't shocked at the duration he spent which was less than yesterday's.
"He actually dared to battle with his level reduced to the elementary grade of black iron-tier compared to the advanced grade required."
"What a freak!"
Qin We said as he kept his sight on Lu Chong.
"Nice work."
Zhou Zhou said while handing a bunch of potions to the spear genius.
"Thank you, my lord."
Lu Chong said as he quickly drank the potions to recover.
Having gone into the second ranch after Hui Teng made his exit, Man Nao revealed his improvements by extending his run to 3 minutes 21 seconds, surpassing his previous record of 56 seconds.
"Thank you, my lord."
Man Nao said as he received the antidote potions, life potions and energy potions from his lord.
Nodding in response to Man Nao's gratitude, Zhou Zhou looked at the archers, Huang Sai and Sun Can.
"The 2 of you will practice on the fog lizards. You can only hit their limbs and nowhere else."
"And reduce your strength level to today's criteria."
"Yes, my lord."
Ready to showcase their might, Huang Sai and Sun Can accepted as they made their way into the first ranch together.
"Take north and west while I take east and south."
Huang Sai said to Sun Can as he took hold of his bow and two arrows.
"Alright. Help me when you can, though."
Sun Can said with his bow and an arrow in his hand.
"I will."
Huang Sai nodded as he nocked his arrows on the string of his bow.
"Begin."
He signaled towards Mu Gu.
Releasing his hold on the fog lizards, Mu Gu still placed his entire focus on the battle to mitigate the risks face by the duo.
Exiting the fourth ranch 3 minutes and 14 seconds after the archery duo stepped into the monster ranch with the fog lizards, Bai Yung crawled out of the ranch with bloody holes all over his body.
Stepping forward, Zhou Zhou stopped after taking 3 steps.
Stopping his lord with a raise of his hand, Bai Yung took deep breaths as he began exerting strength on his hands.
After struggling for 20 seconds, he was finally able to stand with the help of his spear.
Taking slow steps forward, he finally arrived in front of his lord.
"Nice work."
Handing potions over to Bai Yung, Zhou Zhou said to him.
"T-Thank you, my lord."
Bai Yung said as he took the potions.
Nodding, Zhou Zhou directed his attention towards the battle between the archers
"12 minutes and 10 seconds from yesterday's 11 minutes and 20 seconds."
"He's also a freak."
Qin We muttered as he glanced at Bai Yung.
He knew how difficult it was the more the battle progresses.
It wasn't something anyone can just do without proper improvements.
