"Qian Mo, is it?"
"You are the only one qualified to be my opponent!"
While the trading platform was in chaos.
At the foot of a snowy mountain somewhere on the Primordial Continent, a magnificent castle stood tall.
A golden-haired youth stood atop the castle, closing the chat interface before him and licking his lips with an unnatural flair.
Within the castle below, humanoid creatures that were mere skeletons could be seen moving in and out.
These skeletons appeared exceptionally sinister, emitting a strange green glow.
However, their movements were agile, and upon getting closer, one could feel a strong aura of death.
These were Undead units, one of the top-tier troop types!
Perhaps due to being directly summoned from the unit building, these undead, though terrifying in appearance and exuding a chilling aura, were not as bone-chilling as legends of the undead described.
These Undead units belonged to the top-tier troop types on the Primordial Continent, and among all top-tier troops, they were considered among the very best.
Their initial summoning level was peak Tier 3.
Upon maturity, they reached Tier 10.
Furthermore, some special undead could even evolve into Spirit, Lord, or even Saint tiers.
And this troop type was like a stubborn plaster.
Indestructible and difficult to wear down, and crucially, it was poisonous. With even a slight lapse in caution, one could be corroded by the undead energy and suffer a significant setback.
Even the peak Tier 3 Undead units, freshly summoned, could easily defeat a low-grade Tier 4 magical beast if planned properly.
Most importantly, the deathly aura emanating from these Undead units was extremely frigid, making anyone unwilling to approach.
Thus, the formidable nature of Undead units was evident.
Possessing such powerful units, the strength of this golden-haired youth was naturally self-evident.
"Torren Tribe Minotaurs? Their strength is generally above peak Tier 3!"
"The Minotaur Chieftain is said to be peak Tier 7, but I suspect he might have surpassed Tier 7!"
"The strongest of my Undead units is currently only peak Tier 6. They cannot yet contend with the Minotaur tribe!"
"It seems Qian Mo's strength is truly immense! He has developed so rapidly! However..."
"This is nothing! I possess Undead units, and they will eventually grow!"
"Advancing quickly at first doesn't mean you can maintain that pace!"
"But I hope you don't stop, Qian Mo. I believe I will soon surpass you!"
"I am the true overlord of the Primordial Continent! I am the true Son of Destiny!"
At this moment, the golden-haired youth was brimming with confidence, his expression incredibly arrogant.
He believed his territory would undoubtedly stand at the pinnacle of the Primordial Continent, and he himself would one day rule the world!
Whether it was Qian Mo or any other lord, they were merely stepping stones on his path to becoming stronger.
Therefore, they just needed to be kicked aside or completely shattered!
...
In the distant Dark Forest region.
Jin Xuan was piloting her Endless War Golem, hunting a herd of lizards.
Compared to the first day, when these reptiles had been a handful to chase down,
Her Endless War Golem squadron could now easily hunt these rather unsightly creatures.
Upon seeing the news on the trading platform, Jin Xuan's delicate eyebrows twitched.
"Has this scoundrel already reached this point!"
"But it doesn't matter! This young lady will soon catch up to you!"
"You just wait for me!"
Jin Xuan also possessed a top-tier troop type and was naturally full of confidence.
"The amount of Immortal-Demon Stones has far exceeded the requirement. Only Soul Crystals are missing!"
"As long as I can defeat that elite-level Giant Lizard, I will obtain a Soul Crystal, and then I can upgrade my troop building to Tier 2!"
With that said, Jin Xuan's gaze fell upon a Giant Lizard lazily basking in the sun not far away.
At the latest by tomorrow, she would target the boss of this Giant Lizard herd.
Her Endless War Golems were almost at that level of strength.
Once she obtained the Soul Crystal and upgraded her troop building, then...
It would be the start of soaring in the Endless Wilderness and embarking on the path to the peak!
...
In the distant Dark Forest region.
In other forbidden zones of the Primordial Continent.
There were many other lords who possessed top-tier troop types, and at this moment, they felt as confident as the golden-haired youth.
In their eyes, Xiao Mo was merely moving a bit faster for now.
Those who sprinted ahead in the early game often faltered in the mid to late game.
For them, catching up to Xiao Mo was merely a matter of time!
Because they all possessed top-tier troop types!
They were all chosen by heaven, true darlings of fortune!
...
While everyone was striving to catch up to Xiao Mo,
Xiao Mo himself was leisurely lying on a lounge chair in his pavilion, dozing in the warm sunshine.
It was worth noting that he was no longer clad in just a piece of animal hide.
He had found a relatively decent linen shirt from the equipment dropped by the Minotaurs.
It fit Xiao Mo's physique perfectly, thus alleviating his immediate need for clothing.
Beside the lounge chair was a small table, laden with various wild fruits, a plate of dried meat, and a whole jar of honey water.
This kind of leisurely life was exceptionally comfortable!
If other lords were to see Xiao Mo's appearance, they would likely fly into a jealous rage.
We all rise early and work late, leading our troops out to hunt and gather resources.
We're constantly underfed and poorly clothed, living in fear, always worried about being wiped out by accident.
And here you are, living a life of utter leisure every day, without having to rush or exert yourself, like a veritable rich landlord.
Truly, comparing goods makes one discard them, and comparing people leads to death!
Thus, he slept until almost afternoon, casually ate some dried meat and fruit, and then got busy again.
He had to be busy!
The efficiency of the Immortal-Demon Squad was too high. If he didn't work, there wouldn't be enough space in the plaza to stack corpses.
He quickly gathered and decomposed all the corpses piled in the plaza, and stored all the acquired resources in the warehouse.
Then, he discovered that there was a message notification on the trading platform.
After several hours of fierce bidding, the bundled equipment had all been sold.
This was why he had specifically reminded them of the time limit during the previous trade.
Humans had such a psychology.
As long as you told them the benefits of these items and they developed a desire for them, they would hesitate, unsure whether to acquire them.
It was this indecisiveness that wasted the most time, so Xiao Mo had directly set the time limit to four hours.
If you want to buy, bid quickly, otherwise, someone else will bid and buy it.
If you hesitate, after the time is up, you won't even get a drop.
Because of this, although these were all low-level equipment, they were sold at an astonishing speed, and the auction prices were quite enviable.
Xiao Mo looked at the resources he had acquired and quickly tallied them.
These pieces of equipment had fetched a total of 6970 units of wood and 3500 units of stone.
Most importantly, there were even 100 units of iron essence, which was a complete triumph!
Xiao Mo knew, and everyone knew.
In terms of value, these pieces of equipment were not worth that many resources.
Not even a fifth of these resources!
However, Xiao Mo auctioned them at the opportune moment.
During this novice phase, such low-level equipment was akin to divine artifacts.
They could significantly enhance the strength of humanoid units and improve their hunting capabilities.
Although it meant losing some resources and possibly delaying the territory's upgrade progress,
The improvement in unit strength could lead to an increase in unit level.
Whether this trade was a loss or a gain was something everyone could weigh in their hearts.
