In the afternoon.
After waking from his nap, Xiao Mo ambled to the plaza.
As expected, the pile of monster corpses in the plaza had grown considerably.
The hunting efficiency today was clearly higher than before.
With the expansion of the Immortal Demon team, their collective strength grew stronger.
Then, Xiao Mo began his routine.
Collecting and dissecting monster corpses.
And then putting the acquired food on the [Myriad Races Trading Platform] to exchange for various resources.
This food included both ordinary and special types.
Ordinary food, naturally, came from low-level monsters below the elite tier.
Special food, on the other hand, was meat from elite-tier or higher monsters, which could enhance one's strength after consumption.
The trading prices for ordinary and special food naturally differed.
Afterward, he packed all the obtained materials and sent them privately to the little brat for forging equipment.
When he was done, Xiao Mo did a rough count and found that the Immortal Demon team had hunted nearly five hundred monsters by that point.
The collected food amounted to about five thousand units.
Furthermore, without any surprise, special items like blueprints and equipment had not dropped.
However, Xiao Mo was somewhat puzzled. Of these nearly five hundred monsters, about half had not dropped Immortal Demon Stones.
Even several elite monsters had not dropped Soul Crystals.
After thinking for a long time, he could only arrive at one conclusion.
That was, obtaining these items involved probability.
And this probability was directly related to the strength of his territory and troops.
The stronger the strength, the lower the probability of dropping Immortal Demon Stones and Soul Crystals.
Unless they hunted high-tier monsters like elite or commander-tier ones, the probability would return to normal.
Even so, they had still obtained seventy Immortal Demon Stones.
Combined with the previously stored Immortal Demon Stones, they now had nearly nine hundred in total.
They also had nine Soul Crystals stored.
They were not far from the requirement to upgrade the troop building [Xiao Mo Reincarnation Pool] to level three.
Regardless, they would surely succeed in upgrading the [Immortal Demon Reincarnation Pool] to Saint tier before the initial monster tide.
From the current situation, the Immortal Demon territory was developing very well, with a trend of continuous progress.
And the speed of development was visibly apparent.
As long as this development speed was maintained, there should be no problem in maintaining the position of the strongest lord.
…
As it grew late.
Xian Qing'er led the Immortal Demon team back into the city.
As expected, the four troops newly reincarnated today had all been promoted to fifth-order mid-grade.
This rate of improvement was undeniably fast!
The other troops had also seen significant improvements.
In summary, after another day, the strength of the Immortal Demon team had made great progress again.
Xiao Mo, familiar with the routine, collected and dissected the last batch of monster corpses brought back by the Immortal Demon team.
After everything was finished, Xian Qing'er walked up to Xiao Mo and bowed respectfully.
"Master, as per your command, we have investigated the area within a four-kilometer radius outside the territory's influence. However, we have not found any other native forces. We will expand the search range again tomorrow! However, while we did not find any native forces, we encountered a pack of Ironback Grey Wolves to the north! There were less than a hundred of them, with the strongest being an eighth-order peak commander-tier boss, and it is even close to being promoted to a ninth-order lord-tier boss! Following that were fifteen elite-tier giant grey wolves, and the remaining ones were all at roughly fourth to fifth order. However, due to the late hour and the approaching night, we dared not attack without your command!"
After hearing Xian Qing'er's report, Xiao Mo smiled faintly and nodded, praising her.
"You did very well! Being cautious and meticulous is the most important thing!"
The night mechanism on the Primordial Continent was incredibly peculiar. As soon as darkness fell, all monsters became incredibly berserk, and their strength would increase by three to four times.
If Xian Qing'er had been overly eager and attacked the wolf pack rashly, they could have been surrounded by other monsters in the darkness.
Even then, if it had also drawn out the King-tier giant black python from yesterday, it would have been too late to cry.
That would not just be a big problem, but a death trap with no chance of survival!
Following orders and being cautious was a good thing.
"Tomorrow, after the Immortal Demon reincarnation is complete, you will take the Immortal Demon team to search for that grey wolf pack again. If they are gone, then retreat and continue hunting. If they are still there or if you encounter them again, then destroy them all!"
Xiao Mo pondered for a moment, looked at Xian Qing'er, and said.
"Yes, Master!"
"Qing'er will not disappoint Master's trust!"
Xian Qing'er's voice was gentle, but her tone was resolute.
Behind her, the Xiao Mo Immortal Demon troops, upon hearing that there would be a battle tomorrow, all became eager, looking at Xiao Mo with fervent respect.
After the Immortal Demon team departed, Xiao Mo looked up at the descending night sky, his mind in turmoil.
Nearly a hundred Ironback Grey Wolves.
One commander-tier boss and fifteen elite-tier bosses among them.
This was definitely a large piece of fatty meat!
As long as their luck wasn't too bad, they were sure to get at least one Soul Crystal.
And with over a hundred Ironback Grey Wolves, they should be able to obtain a considerable number of Immortal Demon Stones, at least dozens.
In this regard, the [Immortal Demon Reincarnation Pool] was one step closer to its second upgrade.
The most important thing now was to see if this pack of Ironback Grey Wolves would disappoint him!
…
The night passed uneventfully.
Today was the seventh day since all the lords descended upon the Primordial Continent.
There were exactly three days left until the end of the novice protection period.
All lords were frantically increasing their strength, preparing for the test of the initial monster tide.
In the test, elimination meant death.
Not a single lord wished to lose their life.
Furthermore, as long as they could pass the monster tide test, they could embark on the path of conquering the myriad races and hope for a chance at eternal life.
Xiao Mo, naturally, also woke up early.
However, the Immortal Demon team was always more diligent than him.
Especially the two female Immortal race warriors, Xian Qing'er and Xian Meng'er.
Every day, by the time Xiao Mo woke up, they would promptly appear before him.
One would attend to Xiao Mo's waking and washing, while the other would busily prepare food.
It could be said that Xiao Mo's current life was as decadent as it could be.
After breakfast, Xiao Mo naturally headed straight to the [Immortal Demon Reincarnation Pool] as usual.
After reincarnating the four new Immortal Demon soldiers for the day, he had Xian Qing'er lead the entire Immortal Demon team out to hunt.
At the same time, they were also to search for the whereabouts of the Ironback Grey Wolf pack from yesterday.
This Ironback Grey Wolf pack was Xiao Mo's hope for obtaining Immortal Demon Stones and Soul Crystals, and he could not let it go!
If the wolf pack could be annihilated today, then the Reincarnation Pool would likely be upgraded tomorrow.
Once the Reincarnation Pool reached level three, the strength of the Immortal Demon territory would undoubtedly increase significantly!
