The Dark Forest region, ten thousand miles away.
Fairy Jin Xuan, a super beauty, narrowed her eyes into two crescent moons, looking at the corpses of two fifth-tier peak elite giant lizards dragged over by two Endless War Golems with great pleasure.
Behind her stood eight sturdy War Golems.
Two fifth-tier low-grade, two fourth-tier peak, two fourth-tier mid-grade, and two fourth-tier low-grade.
In addition to the fifth-tier peak and sixth-tier low-grade that were dragging the giant lizard.
This kind of strength could be considered very formidable.
Soon, Jin Xuan collected a crystal-clear Soul Crystal from the giant lizard's corpse.
"I finally got a Soul Crystal! The troop building can finally be upgraded!"
"Qian Mo! This young lady will definitely be able to surpass you soon!"
Jin Xuan tightly held the Soul Crystal, her beautiful eyes shining with excitement.
At this moment, she appeared full of confidence.
Because she was a lord with top-tier troops, and now the requirement for the Saint-grade troop building had been met.
This meant that her strength would be greatly improved.
It was even possible that she would soar to the heavens because of this upgrade!
Jin Xuan believed that the gap between her and Xiao Mo was not large, it was just that she was not lucky enough, but as long as she worked hard, she would soon catch up to Xiao Mo.
However, she would soon realize what it meant to have grand ideals and a harsh reality.
...
Night finally descended again.
The outside world once again became deep and terrifying.
It was like an unknown black hole, waiting to devour any creature that dared to offend it.
The distant dense forest also appeared gloomy and terrifying at this moment.
In the jungle, pairs of dim green or blood-red eyes could be seen.
Various monstrous roars could also be heard constantly.
It was at this moment that,
outside the territory's protective shield, a dense cluster of scarlet lights had gathered at some point.
Clearly, these were pairs of scarlet beast eyes.
Accompanied by roars, more and more demonic beasts gathered outside the territory.
Some even attempted to attack the faint blue protective shield.
"Immortal Holy Light Technique! Illuminate!"
Xian Qing'er, the captain of the Immortal Demon team and currently the strongest Immortal race warrior, raised her hand and cast a Holy Light Technique.
The next moment, the entire territory within a three-kilometer radius was illuminated as if it were broad daylight.
At this moment, Xiao Mo saw various kinds of demonic beasts gathered outside the territory.
Giant wolves, demonic apes, giant lizards, ferocious lions, sword tigers...
These were all demonic beasts that had been pursued by Xiao Mo's team during the day and were terrified.
But now, at night, due to the peculiarities of the night here, their strength had soared, and they had become even more ferocious.
Therefore, they naturally wanted to return for revenge!
This was not intelligence, but the instinct of wild beasts.
Xiao Mo roughly estimated the number of demonic beasts outside the territory to be several thousand.
Among them were not a few elite-grade, and even some Lord-level great bosses above the eighth tier!
Coupled with the special power of the night, the strength of these demonic beasts increased by three to four times.
Even the current Immortal Demon team might not be able to retreat unscathed in the face of these ferocious demonic beasts.
Naturally, Xiao Mo dismissed the idea of letting the Immortal Demon team go out to clear them.
After all, it would not be long before the troop building could be upgraded again, and after the upgrade, the troop size and strength would be even more powerful.
Moreover, as long as the overall strength of the Immortal Demon team was improved by another step, they should be able to hunt at night.
At that time, it would be much safer to let the Immortal Demon team hunt demonic beasts at night.
Xiao Mo was naturally unwilling to gamble with the safety of the Immortal Demon team.
Although these Immortals and Demons could be resurrected through the Immortal-Demon Reincarnation Pool even if they died.
However, this would consume the energy of the Immortal-Demon Reincarnation Pool, which would affect subsequent reincarnations.
Besides, after the Immortal Demon troops died and were reincarnated, their strength would need to be re-improved.
In this regard, it was truly a loss outweighing the gain, so he could not act recklessly.
...
Just as Xian Qing'er was about to extinguish the Holy Light Technique.
Dense black mist suddenly appeared on the distant horizon, rolling towards the Immortal Demon territory.
Within the black mist, a colossal figure could be vaguely seen churning.
The demonic beasts outside the territory, in their berserk state, showed a hint of fear in their eyes upon seeing this black mist.
The next moment, a series of unwilling roars faded into the distance as the demonic beasts fled.
Soon, the mass of black mist surged above the Immortal Demon territory.
The figure of a massive black demon python emerged from the black mist.
The black demon python hovered in the air, casting a sky-obscuring shadow under the light of the Holy Light Technique.
The demon python was entirely black, with a single horn growing on its head, four prominent bulges on its abdomen, and its body covered in scales that shimmered with cold light.
The oppressive aura emanating from its breaths made people feel an inexplicable palpitation.
On its head, its icy eyes were fixed on Xiao Mo and the entire Xiao Mo team in the city.
A hint of disdain flickered in its gaze.
Upon seeing the faint blue protective shield emanating from below, the demon python's eyes paused.
Finally, it did not test the power of the protective shield, but instead, it swung its tail, twisted its colossal body, and re-entered the black mist, leaving.
Only when the black demon python disappeared into the horizon did Xiao Mo exhale a heavy breath.
The oppressive aura just now had almost made his heart leap out of his chest.
"It's actually a demon python that's about to transform into a Flood Dragon!"
"And its strength is so powerful! Fortunately, I never let the Immortal Demon team hunt in the territory's vicinity!"
Xiao Mo felt lingering fear, and at the same time, he felt fortunate for his decision back then.
Based on the feeling just now, the current strength of the Immortal Demon team was no match for this demon python.
If they had encountered this giant python while hunting outside, the entire Immortal Demon team would have been annihilated!
However, the situation just now also made Xiao Mo understand that this was the consequence of being targeted by the indigenous forces of the Endless Abyss.
That demon python had definitely not appeared for no reason; it had been attracted by the Immortal Demon territory.
Moreover, it was definitely not an ordinary demonic beast, but a creature with extremely high intelligence.
This could be seen from its disdainful gaze just now and its actions after seeing the protective shield.
"No! The strength of the Immortal Demon team needs to be improved as soon as possible! Otherwise, once the novice period ends and the protective shield disappears, we will face greater trouble!"
Xiao Mo's gaze suddenly became solemn.
"My Lord need not worry too much!"
"That is merely a King-level black python that has just entered the tenth tier and has not yet completed its transformation into a Flood Dragon!"
"Once Meng'er and I reach the tenth-tier low-grade, either one of us can kill that black python!"
"If we were tenth-tier mid-grade or tenth-tier peak, we could destroy it with a flick of our wrists!"
Xian Qing'er said to Xiao Mo, but she spoke the truth.
She and Xian Meng'er were both Immortal race warriors, and she was especially a warrior with special attributes. Moreover, her strength had fully recovered, making her a definite peak Monarch-grade.
Because she was an Immortal race warrior with special attributes, she had a high chance of advancing further!
And Xian Meng'er, with her strength fully recovered, was also a mid-grade Monarch-grade.
Therefore, what Xian Qing'er said was not an exaggeration.
However, for Xiao Mo, what he was worried about was not the lack of potential of the Immortal Demon team.
What he was thinking now was that the strength of the Immortal Demon team still needed to be improved even faster!
