"All-powerful Holy Lord!"
"Your servants, along with the Immortal Demon Death Squad, pay their respects!"
"May our Lord's radiance shine upon the land! May His holy body be eternal and indestructible!"
The burly Immortal Demon Death soldier standing at the forefront, seemingly a squad leader among the mercenaries, led the entire death squad in a bow, greeting Xiao Mo.
Their faces were filled with boundless reverence and fervent devotion.
As the name suggests, death soldiers were absolutely loyal to their masters.
From the moment they were reincarnated, they had been fanatical followers of Xiao Mo.
"What skills do you possess?"
Xiao Mo inquired of the leading death soldier.
Upon hearing Xiao Mo's question, the death soldier replied respectfully:
"Reporting to the Holy Lord, as death soldiers, we not only master basic skills but also possess skills such as Punishment, Slaughter, Healing, Spreading Faith, and Purifying Rebels!"
This statement brightened Xiao Mo's eyes.
Although these Immortal Demon Death soldiers were not of high initial rank, they were all versatile individuals.
The so-called basic skills were naturally those they knew before reincarnation.
However, the other skills, to be possessed by all of them, was truly unexpected.
It was known that even the Immortal Demon troops were specialized in these skills.
For instance, the support-type Xian Qing'er specialized in healing, spreading faith, and purifying rebels. In essence, she was like a mage or support in a game.
The slaughter-type Mo Wuxin specialized in slaughter and punishment, born for killing, akin to an assassin in a game.
Yet, these Immortal Demon Death soldiers were all versatile talents.
How could this not surprise Xiao Mo?
After the surprise, Xiao Mo named the leading death soldier Feng Ming.
He then assigned five of the death soldiers to dismantle the monster corpses, while the rest were to join the Immortal Demon battle team and the dwarves in cleaning up the battlefield.
...
With the Immortal Demon Death soldiers to dismantle the corpses, Xiao Mo was naturally free to attend to other matters.
He decided to open the [World Chat Channel] to take a look.
In the public chat, many lords and lone adventurers were still discussing the topic of the [Point Ranking] leader and still speculating on the rewards obtained by the great figure Qian Mo.
The discussion remained hot and persistent.
Seeing this uninspired chatter, Xiao Mo felt bored and was about to close the chat channel when a message caught his attention.
[To all the great lords in the Endless Abyss, have any of you seen a rift torn open in the sky by a golden light? A majestic, colossal city descended from the rift but soon flew back into the sky and disappeared!]
This message made Xiao Mo realize something.
That is, there were quite a few lords in the Endless Abyss region who had discovered the appearance of the [Nine Heavens Nine Nether City].
Following this first message, many people immediately began to discuss.
Keywords like golden light, giant city, and sky continuously appeared, completely shifting the topic in the public chat.
Regardless of whether they were lords from the Endless Abyss region or not, they all began to speculate about what this giant city was.
Why did it appear in the Endless Abyss, and why did it suddenly disappear?
This situation naturally led some people to associate it with Xiao Mo.
They believed this giant city was a reward obtained by the great figure Qian Mo for the beast tide.
After all, the great figure Qian Mo's Immortal Demon tribe was located in the Endless Abyss region.
However, this speculation was quickly dispelled by others.
How could the reward for a beast tide be a city?
An artifact, a divinity, a god-level blueprint, or even something that could elevate the great figure Qian Mo to the heavens, any of these would be more plausible than a city as a reward.
The most common speculation was that the giant city was merely a mirage, influenced by the strange golden light.
In any case, after a heated debate, the matter remained unresolved.
After all, except for the few who truly saw it, there were no other witnesses, so this matter was at most a topic for casual conversation.
Seeing this, Xiao Mo paid no further attention.
He then checked the [Trading Platform] for the ordinary food items listed, which were still receiving no interest.
This was within his expectations.
After the territory defense battle and the beast tide war in the early morning, no lord would be lacking food.
Except for some special foods, ordinary food would certainly not sell.
It would only be when the lords' food supplies ran out, their subordinate forces grew larger, and food became difficult to gather.
At that time, the food market might prosper again.
Subsequently, Xiao Mo inquired about Dou Xiaodou's situation.
This little brat's luck had exploded again after this experience.
He had managed to obtain over ten blueprints, which were the hardest to drop.
This made Xiao Mo turn green with envy once more, his heart clenching painfully.
After rambling about his gains, the little brat started to praise Xiao Mo again.
"Congratulations, Big Brother, for winning the championship. I, your little brother, am immensely in awe of you," he said incessantly.
Finally, the little brat sent Xiao Mo a blueprint.
The Intermediate Building Blueprint [Watchtower], capable of illuminating unexplored areas within a ten-kilometer radius.
Xiao Mo was inclined to refuse, but he couldn't resist the little brat's persistent pleading.
Moreover, the little brat had obtained two [Watchtower] blueprints in total.
He kept one for himself and gave the other to Xiao Mo.
It was for this reason that Xiao Mo reluctantly accepted it.
After all, compared to him, the little brat needed this type of building more.
After ending his chat with the little brat, Xiao Mo saw hundreds of millions of friend requests.
Seeing the scarlet, long string of numbers, Xiao Mo's eyelids twitched.
Good heavens, it used to be tens of millions, but now it was directly hundreds of millions!
However, he thought that after this battle, blueprints should be more or less common.
Thus, he directly searched for two keywords in the application information.
[Troop Evolution Blueprint] and [Troop Expansion Blueprint].
Instantly, the number of friend requests dropped to less than thirty million.
He then searched for a few more keywords and, after some sifting, Xiao Mo finally narrowed it down to ten people.
It was a pity that nine out of these ten people wanted to sell him [Troop Evolution Blueprints].
Only one person had dropped a [Troop Expansion Blueprint].
When Xiao Mo saw this person's message, his expression immediately froze.
[I have obtained a Troop Expansion Blueprint here, but I am only giving it away, absolutely not selling it!]
Looking at the applicant, Xiao Mo became even more bewildered.
Friend Request Applicant—Lord Jin Xuan of the [Endless Wasteland].
"It's her again!"
Xiao Mo felt a headache coming on.
Xiao Mo was quite familiar with this Jin Xuan.
Not only was she a top-tier lord with great ambitions, but her name also frequently appeared in the public chat.
Most importantly, she was the most persistent lord who kept adding him as a friend.
"Does this woman really want to add me as a friend and interact with me so badly?"
Xiao Mo was unsure whether to accept or decline the request.
A sense of disarray arose within him...
