Immortal Demon Tribe.
Xiao Mo, in the bedroom, suddenly woke up, sat up from the bed with a jolt, gasping heavily.
"So it was just a dream!"
Xiao Mo raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat that had beaded on his forehead, still feeling a lingering fear.
In his dream, his Immortal Demon Tribe territory was attacked by numerous indigenous forces allied with monster beasts.
For some reason, his Immortal Demon team was almost annihilated, and just as the heart of his territory was about to be destroyed, he was suddenly awakened.
He looked up at the window; the sky outside had just begun to show a hint of dawn.
Yet, he had slept for less than two hours.
Xiao Mo understood that such a dream might not happen in reality.
However, it served as a warning, reminding him to seize every moment to develop his territory's strength.
Otherwise, the dream might very well become reality one day.
Since he was already awake, he decided to get up, wash up, and eat breakfast.
Afterward, he directly opened the [Myriad Races Trading Platform].
After a night's passed, the trading platform had become quite lively.
Opening the trading platform interface, he was almost overwhelmed by various monster beast materials and food items.
Moreover, most of the items listed for trade this time were in large quantities.
Lords who listed over a thousand units of food at once were too numerous to count.
Some lords even listed tens of thousands of units of food in a single transaction.
This had never happened before.
Even Xiao Mo never listed more than five thousand units of food at a time.
Clearly, this was the result of the battles fought last night.
After the protective shields disappeared, all the lords had been attacked by monster beast swarms outside their territories.
The ferocity of last night's battle could be seen from the Immortal Demon territory.
In this war, it was unknown how many lords had been completely eliminated.
However, those who survived must have had a bountiful harvest.
After killing large numbers of monster beasts, the gathered food was more than they could consume, so they directly put it up for sale.
But Xiao Mo knew that almost no lord was lacking food now.
At least, not in the short term.
After all, having dealt with so many monster beasts overnight, the stored food should be enough.
Therefore, selling food now was likely to attract no buyers.
However, what caught Xiao Mo's attention were the monster beast materials.
Some had already been exchanged for quite a bit.
There was no need to guess what had happened.
Someone must have obtained a blueprint for a [Forge Room] during last night's battle.
Now, they were acquiring monster beast materials at such low prices, preparing to forge equipment.
But, Xiao Mo shook his head slowly, not taking this matter too seriously.
Although the establishment of [Forge Rooms] by others would mean more competition for him and the little brat, it was unavoidable.
The demand for equipment was too immense; this large pie was something neither he nor the little brat could possibly digest alone.
Moreover, as time passed and development progressed, it was inevitable that lords would build [Forge Rooms].
However, due to the vast number of lords and the high demand.
For a long time, those lords who already possessed [Forge Rooms] would not affect his profits in the equipment trading sector.
Thinking from another perspective, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
On the road ahead, the conflict between lords would not be the primary concern.
The main threat would naturally be those indigenous forces who had always treated all lords as enemies.
They would also become the greatest enemies of all lords.
If these lords could develop their forces, they could at least help him bear some of the pressure from the indigenous forces.
As for the conflict with other lords, Xiao Mo was confident.
Since he could take the lead in the early game, he was naturally confident that he would leave all other lords far behind in the mid and late game.
With the trading platform so lively, Xiao Mo naturally wouldn't miss this great opportunity.
He directly listed a full twenty-five thousand units of food on the trading platform.
Among these were ten thousand units of elite monster beast food, five hundred units of commander-level monster beast food, and thirty units of lord-level monster beast food.
This food, which could increase spiritual power, was naturally priced differently from ordinary food, and he still intended to sell it at a high price.
Whether anyone bought it was one thing, but listing it was another.
Besides, most of the lords listed ordinary food, with very few elite-level foods, let alone elite-level or higher monster beast food.
There would certainly still be a considerable demand for these special foods.
After finishing, Xiao Mo packed up all the monster beast materials he had collected and sent them to the little brat.
Then, Xiao Mo opened the [World Chat Channel].
The chat channel was as lively as ever, seemingly unaffected.
【The very first night has already resulted in huge losses! I lost over thirty of my troops! How will I get by in the future!】
【Losing just over thirty troops is nothing! I only have four peak sixth-tier or higher troops left, almost completely wiped out!】
【Aren't you not completely wiped out yet! It's good enough that you're still alive!】
【Exactly, troops can be summoned again, but if you die, then everything is in vain!】
【Alas! This world is too cruel! A friend I added not long ago had advanced troops, the Feathered Race, but she has already fallen!】
【Damn it! Even advanced troops couldn't resist? What did she encounter!】
【No need to doubt! There must have been quite a few lords eliminated in the territory defense battle, at least a million!】
【It's this brutal right from the start, what will the beast tide crisis be like? What kind of crises will we face in the future?】
【No need to guess! In the future, there will only be more lords eliminated due to lack of strength, so developing our power is the most important thing!】
【To establish a foothold in this world, you first have to put your head on the line, we have to play with our lives!】
【That's right! Everyone, don't get discouraged! We deeply regret the fallen brothers and sisters, but let it serve as a warning! Since we've come to this world, let's play with all our might! What are these monster beasts? Our goal is those indigenous forces! We are on the path to the hegemony of all races!】
【The person above has a lot of words, but what they said makes sense! Ha...】
【It makes a lot of sense! We are all destined to reach the peak, to become immortal gods, and to spread the glory of our territories to every inch of this world!】
【I really wish this scene would come sooner!】
【Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop bragging everyone! Don't forget the beast tide crisis is coming soon! What are you all thinking about!】
【What the heck???】
【No sportsmanship...】
With the words of this lord, all the ambition that had just ignited in everyone's hearts was extinguished.
The atmosphere in the chat channel instantly dropped to freezing point, and everyone fell into collective silence.
