For Xiao Mo's command, Xian Meng'er and Xian Qing'er naturally obeyed without question.
After solemnly pledging their loyalty and promising to complete the mission, they led the Immortal-Demon Battle Team away from the city.
At this moment, Xiao Mo recalled the giant black python from last night.
The oppressive aura of a Rank 10 King-class demon beast still made him feel lingering fear.
This was a world of the strong preying on the weak!
This was the gap in strength!
If his territory were not still under the novice protection period, it would likely have been annihilated last night.
If, after the novice protection period ends, the strength of his territory and the Immortal-Demon Battle Team does not surpass Rank 10,
Then, what would be the fate of the Immortal-Demon territory and himself?
Given last night's incident, there was no need to ponder this question; the answer was self-evident!
Therefore, it was crucial to seize the time to improve his strength, while also gathering intelligence on the surrounding forces.
This was also why Xiao Mo would not have allowed the Immortal-Demon Battle Team to take risks if they lacked their current strength.
With the Immortal-Demon Battle Team's current power, they could easily defeat elite-class (peak Rank 5 to peak Rank 7) demon beasts.
Even if they encountered a commander-class (Rank 8) demon beast boss, with Xian Qing'er's auxiliary buffs, they could still achieve victory.
As long as they didn't encounter a lord-class (Rank 9) or higher demon beast boss, they could be invincible!
Even against a Rank 9 lord-class boss, with Xian Qing'er and Xian Meng'er present, the Immortal-Demon Battle Team, consisting of twenty soldier types, would have the strength to fight.
Whether they could achieve victory was likely a fifty-fifty chance.
Xiao Mo was not worried about encountering King-class (Rank 10) or higher bosses.
After all, situations like last night were rare.
King-class bosses were inherently scarce; encountering one was already a stroke of luck, how could such good fortune happen every day?
...
With Xiao Mo bored, and the Immortal-Demon Battle Team out hunting, he naturally returned to his usual routine.
A lounge chair, a table laden with wild fruits, honey water, and various dried meats.
This simple life was exceedingly comfortable!
Moreover, he didn't need to cultivate now; he could share spiritual energy with the Immortal-Demon Battle Team daily, and his strength was steadily improving.
Furthermore, even if he wanted to, he wouldn't know how to cultivate.
All he knew were some combat moves he learned on Earth, which likely wouldn't even qualify as rudimentary martial arts.
Possessing a strong physique and decent spiritual energy, but utterly lacking the knowledge of how to use it.
This left Xiao Mo feeling quite helpless.
It was no different from sitting on a treasure mountain without knowing how to excavate it.
However, not having obtained a cultivation method now did not mean he would never obtain one, so there was no need to rush.
With this thought, Xiao Mo decided to browse the chat channel, hoping to glean more important information.
Concurrently, he continuously chatted with Dou Xiaodou, that little brat.
Ever since Dou Xiaodou recognized Xiao Mo as his elder brother, he had been extremely happy and worked exceptionally hard every day.
Although he chattered incessantly with Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo did not find it bothersome.
Instead, he felt that having such a cheerful, joy-bringing younger brother in his life was a very good thing.
At least his life was no longer so monotonous, and it gained a touch of fun, didn't it?
The little brat told Xiao Mo a great deal, then began to brag about the prowess of his goblin troop.
Especially after summoning again today, the goblins' efficiency had greatly improved.
Whether it was smelting iron essence or forging equipment, their efficiency had seen a significant boost.
However, as he continued, he began to complain.
He complained that his goblins hadn't dug up any blueprints while mining for a long time, which made him feel very dejected.
However, hearing this news did make Xiao Mo feel much better.
If you could continuously dig up blueprints just by casually mining, one would really have to suspect if this little brat was the illegitimate son of Lady Luck!
The [World Chat Channel] was, as usual, bustling with activity.
It was incredibly popular every day.
With billions of lords, even if each person could only send three messages a day, it would be enough to keep the chat channel from stopping.
Amidst these chat messages, Xiao Mo keenly gathered much crucial information.
[Dark Forest], [Soul Severing Desert], [Mist Mountains], [Sunset Canyon], [Extreme North Tundra], [Hundred Thousand Mountains], [Demon Sealing Ruins], and so on...
Among these, the one that captured Xiao Mo's attention was [Endless Abyss]!
At least two other lords had mentioned [Endless Abyss] in their chat messages, indicating that there was definitely more than just the Immortal-Demon territory in the Endless Abyss region.
Xiao Mo was not afraid of other territories existing in the Endless Abyss region.
As the strongest lord with a unique troop type, Xiao Mo now feared no other lord.
If any other territory were to declare war on his territory, with the Immortal-Demon Battle Team in existence, he would definitely hold the initiative in the war.
Moreover, even if war were to break out, it would have to wait until after the novice protection period and the beast tide crisis had passed.
Otherwise, all territories under the novice protection period were protected by shields; even if a god descended, they could not breach them.
Thinking of the beast tide crisis, Xiao Mo suddenly had an idea.
Then, a wicked smile curved his lips, and he raised his hand to send out two messages.
[In three days, equipment sets will be available on the trading platform, uniformly forged by Goblin masters, with guaranteed quality and fair prices!]
[Also, the quantity of equipment is limited, so please prepare in advance and don't regret it later! - Lord Qian Mo!]
These two messages were essentially advertisements.
Because, just now, Xiao Mo thought of the beast tide crisis and suddenly wondered if these lords, in order to deal with the beast tide, would consume a large amount of resources for other preparations?
If they indeed consumed a large amount of resources, then even if the equipment was listed, it might be difficult to sell.
The pricing for equipment would certainly not be low, and if these lords used up most of their resources in the next couple of days, even if they wanted to buy later, they might be willing but unable.
Therefore, Xiao Mo thought, why not leverage his reputation and influence once?
As soon as he launched this wave of advertising, many lords would surely be looking forward to it.
Because everyone knew that Lord Qian Mo had never disappointed!
Even if he was quite unscrupulous...
However, what followed in the chat channel was almost exactly as Xiao Mo had predicted...
Previously, messages were scrolling down at a rate of two to three per second, but now it was different.
It was directly ten messages per second, or even faster, scrolling down!
The entire [World Chat Channel] became like boiling water, exceptionally fervent.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Mo curved his lips and smiled like a fox.
This was the effect I wanted!
This way, you will keep your resources and obediently put them into my pocket.
All I need to do is order the Immortal-Demon Battle Team to hunt demon beasts, collect their carcasses myself, and then hand over the obtained materials to Dou Xiaodou.
I still have a lot of these materials...
