After Go Gin, a level 28 Renners and Imina, both level 28, found the "Herbalist" among the Demon Manifested People and used Medicinal Herbs and Magic to cure the "Rat Plague" toxins in his body, his face darkened.
He headed towards the Blue Maggot clan's territory, near the mountains.
Along the way.
Go Gin saw many Goblin figures. These Goblins, in groups of three or five, were carrying corpses of Iron Ratmen, other Demi-human Races, or Demon Creatures, also heading in the direction of the Blue Maggot race.
As he approached his destination, the number of Blue Maggots gradually increased, and the air began to fill with a faint, nauseating stench.
This wasn't emanating from the Blue Maggots themselves, but from a deeper location.
Go Gin slightly held his breath and continued forward. Most of the Blue Maggots nodded respectfully when they saw Go Gin.
"Lord Go Gin." A respectful female voice came from ahead.
Go Gin looked at the Blue Maggot walking towards him, maintaining a silent, expressionless demeanor, not out of coldness, but because he wasn't sure who it was.
Well!
In his eyes, all Blue Maggots looked the same.
"I am Bei Bei Bei." Bei Bei Bei introduced herself, as if knowing that Go Gin couldn't distinguish them: "I wonder where Lord Go Gin is planning to go?"
"The Grave Pit." Go Gin said.
"I see, please wait a moment, my fellow eggs are currently enjoying themselves." Bei Bei Bei said understandingly, offering a polite reminder.
The Go Gin before her was not only powerful but also held a status equal to the "King," requiring respect.
Go Gin paused slightly: "Alright."
The so-called "Grave Pit" was started after that mysterious human took control of the Blue Maggot and Pandes clans, ordering them to allocate some of their members to dig a pit.
Go Gin couldn't determine how deep the entire pit was now. He only knew that all the corpses were transported here and thrown into the pit.
This seemed like food given to the Blue Maggot clans to enjoy.
However.
While these Demi-human Races didn't know, Go Gin, who had spent time in the human world, knew what the other party was doing.
Undead! There were many reasons for the creation of "Undead." Go Gin didn't know much about this, but he had spent so long in the Empire.
He knew that every time the Empire and the Kingdom went to war, to prevent the dead from becoming Undead, they would send the corpses to the cemetery and offer condolences.
Especially those who died unnatural deaths, the probability of them becoming Undead was even greater.
That human was building a "Grave Pit," throwing a large number of Demi-human corpses into it, most likely to generate negative energy from these corpses, thereby creating Undead.
Not likely—definitely! Go Gin thought to himself. Because he was a Warrior, he couldn't sense the existence of negative energy. He had specifically asked the Magic Casters among the Demon Manifested People.
Their response was that they hadn't detected the existence of negative energy either.
Go Gin wasn't sure if the living could sense negative energy, or if it was because the "Grave Pit" had existed for too short a time, but over time, it was very likely to produce powerful Undead.
That would not only become a disaster for the entire Demi-human Race but even a disaster for all living beings!
Go Gin originally wanted to tell the other Kings of the Demi-human Races about this, but during this time, he clearly felt that the Blue Maggot King and others were very afraid of that human.
Especially since the Blue Maggot King and the others would disappear with that human from time to time, causing Go Gin to hesitate.
Lower Water Moon.
March 9th.
Two figures lay prone on a mountain ridge, their gazes fixed on the Goblins, Ogres, and Iron Ratmen in the mountainous terrain.
These three Demi-human Races, with vastly different appearances, were actually transporting meat and food traded from those humans.
"Those human traitors!"
"To actually do something like this for money." One of the two youths said, gnashing his teeth.
The middle-aged man beside him had a much calmer, weather-beaten face, his eyes fixed on the passing Demi-humans below.
If Anri were here, she would definitely recognize these two; they were two of the ten who had purchased the Regeneration Potion back then.
This youth was even the one who had inspected the potion at the time.
"Kelebu, should we continue deeper?" the youth asked.
Kelebu shook his head, his narrowed eyes revealing a stern expression: "This is the limit. Any further and we'll definitely be discovered."
They were the elite sent to investigate the cause of the disturbance in the Hills, a total of 10 people.
After entering the Hills area, they split into pairs to investigate. The Abelion Hills were very dangerous, and dispersing their forces was not a good choice.
This meant that if danger arose, the chances of survival would be extremely low, but they had no choice. Their most important task was to gather information.
Everyone knew they might die on this mission! "Have you discovered anything unusual?" Kelebu suddenly asked in a low voice.
"These different Demi-humans..." The youth lowered his voice, but was interrupted before he could finish.
"It's not the abnormality of these Demi-humans, but the environment." Kelebu looked up slightly, gazing at the clear sky above: "Have you noticed? Since entering the Hills area, the weather has been unusually good, even a bit hot. We shouldn't be having this kind of weather this season and month."
The youth was stunned to hear this, not understanding why he would be concerned about the weather at a time like this.
"Alright."
"The weather here is indeed too good, not even a single rain. However, Mr. Kelebu, I personally think the focus should not be on this."
The youth said softly, his gaze falling on the Demi-human squad transporting goods at the rear: "The information we've gathered is limited. We need to personally ask these ugly Demi-humans."
Kelebu also looked over, understanding the youth's meaning: "Okay."
Whoosh! Whoosh! The gray cloaks, similar to raincoats, draped over the two men slowly began to turn transparent, and the two men disappeared along with them.
The cloaks were Magic Items with the Second Tier Invisibility ability. In addition, the boots could eliminate footsteps, and the Magic Rings on their hands could eliminate odors.
In short, all the equipment they wore was specially provided by Her Holy Queen for the purpose of completing this mission.
"Silence!"
Suddenly, an invisible Mana fluctuation spread out.
Before the Ogre walking in the front could react to what was happening, Kelebu's figure appeared out of nowhere to his right.
The Short Sword pierced the air.
Accurately pierced the armpit of the ogre's weapon-wielding right arm and twisted forcefully.
"Awoo!"
The ogre let out a painful howl, subconsciously releasing the weapon in its hand and raising its arm.
"Thick-skinned, brainless fool."
Kelebu moved nimbly, grabbing the ogre's right wrist a step ahead, and with a flip, used the upward force of the arm to easily leap over the ogre's head.
"Throat-Cutting Strike!"
Kelebu clamped the ogre's head between his legs, preventing it from moving, and swiftly stabbed the ogre's neck with the short sword in his hand, sliding it forcefully.
The ogre, who had just intended to struggle, suddenly lost its strength and fell to the ground with a thud.
Kelebu stood on the ogre's corpse and looked in the other direction, where the youth had already dealt with the scattered Goblins at the first opportunity.
In the blink of an eye! Only one Iron Ratman remained in the field.
Faced with the two humans who suddenly appeared before its eyes, the Iron Ratman was obviously a little dazed, then reacted and let out a sharp cry: "Enemy attack!"
"Sounds just like a rat squealing."
The youth commented, standing behind the Iron Ratman, blocking its path with Kelebu in front and behind.
Under the Silence magic, no matter how much the Iron Ratman shouted, the sound could not penetrate.
"Is there a way to make this rat honestly answer questions?" the youth asked loudly.
They killed the Goblins and Ogres first because these two races had too low intelligence, while the Iron Ratman's intelligence was higher, making it easier to pry useful information from its mouth.
"Don't know."
Kelebu narrowed his sharp little eyes, sizing up the Iron Ratman. "If it were us humans, I'd know when he wet his pants at what age in at most one night."
"As for Demi-humans, they should be able to hold out a little longer... Let's cripple it first before talking."
Hearing what this companion said.
"Understood, Mr. Kelebu."
The youth inexplicably shivered, highly suspecting that before joining this elite reconnaissance team, the other party worked in some unspeakable place.
...
During this period, Tang Zheng was living a routine life.
He was teleporting between the Holy Kingdom, Abelion Hills, and the Kingdom, thankfully being able to use the Seventh Tier Greater Teleportation, otherwise ordinary Teleport magic would require several transfers between countries.
Currently.
Things in the Hills area are gradually becoming complex and intense, but overall, they are completely under Tang Zheng's control.
But even without guessing.
Tang Zheng could foresee that a relatively large conflict would probably break out in the Hills area before long.
If Iron Ratmen can discover such frequent transactions between Ogres and humans, it is only a matter of time before other Demi-human Races discover it as well.
In addition, the powerful Iron Ratmen clan was destroyed, and a large number of Iron Ratmen fled in all directions, with the Demi-Human Ten Heroes' Gray King's death.
This series of events will surely attract the attention of other races.
Therefore.
During this period, Tang Zheng's main energy was focused on the Hills area. As for the Holy Kingdom and the Kingdom, there was nothing that required him to waste his energy.
As for the Empire.
Tang Zheng had already sent someone there in advance and left a Magic Mark, so he had also secretly gone there a few times, but he was still unable to determine Fluder's location.
Royal Capital, Re-Estize.
Night.
In the Noble Courtyard.
Renners and Imina were sparring in the spacious courtyard. The two graceful figures quickly distanced themselves after each collision.
Renners wielded a spear, her golden braided hair fluttering in the air with the movement of her figure. The heavy strikes of the spear turned into afterimages in the night, constantly bombarding.
Imina, on the other hand, was agile and had no intention of getting close to Renners, using her bow and arrow to constantly harass her from a distance.
It seemed that neither of them could do anything to the other.
"The gap is still quite obvious."
Tang Zheng sat on a wooden chair on the periphery, watching Renners and Imina in the field. He didn't think that the two were at the same level. "Imina's attack methods are not very effective against Renners, but once Renners' attack hits, Imina will be seriously injured. This is the power of a High-Tier Job."
"Ninjutsu: Detection!"
Under the detection of detection Magic, Renners and Imina had both reached level 28.
"Stuck at this level again?" Tang Zheng frowned, pondering silently.
Since researching the Dragon Blood Potion that could increase Life Strength, Tang Zheng naturally didn't hold back. He had been traveling back and forth to the Kingdom during this time.
It was to provide Imina and Renners with Dragon Blood Potion.
As for another type of Dragon Blood Potion that could provide a "Berserk" effect, Tang Zheng was too lazy to make it. It was neither useful nor a good use of Dragon Blood.
So far.
Only four people have been provided with Dragon Blood Potion: Emerald Witch 28Lv, Lizardman Kuruche 25Lv, Renners 28Lv, and Imina 28Lv.
The levels of the four had reached a point where no matter how much Dragon Blood Potion they consumed, they could no longer improve.
"Could it be the so-called 'bottleneck'?"
Tang Zheng thought with doubt in his heart, "The description of the Dragon Blood Potion clearly states 'effective below level 30,' but it's stuck at level 28."
"Hero Domain may be more than just a simple title."
These four people were two Demi-human and two humans. Through the comparison of these people taking Dragon Blood Potion, Tang Zheng had a clearer understanding of the true effect of the potion.
The most special one was the Emerald Witch.
Originally, using the Wild Transformation Ritual had already raised the Emerald Witch to 28Lv, but after taking the Dragon Blood Potion, it had absolutely no effect.
"Normally leveling up is, in the final analysis, an improvement of one's job, while the Life Strength improved by the 'Dragon Blood Potion' will, to some extent, drive the improvement of one's job."
"This should be related to the job the user is good at. The more proficient they are in a certain job, the more they will focus on improving the job level of that job."
Tang Zheng analyzed his guess after asking about the process of the four people leveling up, "But in fact, what is most directly improved should be the value of hp."
When Tang Zheng took Dragon Blood, the value of Hp that increased the most was the value of Hp, and the level detected by the Detection Magic was not 100% accurate.
For example.
When Undead King used Detection Magic to detect the Elf King, he discovered that the other party's Life Strength was above level 70, and the Mana value was similar to Shalltear's.
So he judged that the other party's overall level was above the level 70.
This is because the job data of the Attribute Panel, apart from the Player himself, cannot be seen by others, let alone people from the Different World, who do not have an Attribute Panel in the first place.
The level Tang Zheng detected using Ninjutsu was closer to the judgment of the hp value, so he guessed that the true job levels of Renners and the other three were more or less different.
It's just that the hp value has been greatly increased under the effect of the 'Dragon Blood Potion', reaching a Life Strength of level 28.
