Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 37: Chapter 36: All Sides Converge

Near the mine, there’s a forest composed of black trees.

When Lin You hurriedly arrived, Yan Wu had already brought his elemental species and was waiting there.

“You’re here.”

Yan Wu greeted.

“Yes, I encountered a few demons on the way, which took some time,” Lin You nodded in response, then straightforwardly asked, “What’s your plan regarding the treasure chest?”

Yan Wu smiled confidently, “Of course, I have a plan. To be honest, my earth elements have a wide-range earthquake skill. Although its attack power is not very strong, it can temporarily restrict others’ mobility.”

“You mean, create chaos when the treasure chest falls and then grab what’s inside?” Lin You’s eyes lit up.

“Exactly.” Yan Wu nodded, “At that time, we’ll rely on the advantage of your plant species’ long reach. Quickly grab the items amidst the chaos and retreat immediately. What do you think?”

“I think it’s feasible!”

Lin You gradually became serious.

He noticed that Yan Wu had a total of eighteen Tier Five species with him, more than half being earth elements, clearly well-prepared.

And most of his own were Pink Demonesses, whose vine extension reached over forty meters, easily capable of storming to the treasure chest and seizing its contents amidst the chaos.

Moreover, he had the powerful support of Lingxi by his side.

If the situation became unfavorable, he could always activate Thorn Entanglement to temporarily control the situation, and if necessary, use Blast Mushrooms to create a bloody path with their explosions.

“Alright, since it’s decided, let’s discuss the details to avoid any mistakes when the time comes.”

Yan Wu was evidently a cautious person. Seeing that Lin You agreed to his plan, he immediately began discussing specific actions to prepare for the upcoming event.

On the other side.

In the mine area.

Lords from all directions had already gathered, accompanied by various species, both Tier Four and Tier Five in abundance, and even a few rare mechanical type species.

Everyone was wary of each other across the mining area, the entire scene incredibly tense.

“It seems quite a lot of people showed up this time.”

In the corner of the mine, a young man whispered to his companion.

“Indeed, far more than the last time, and many of them are Tier Five.”

“This time, snatching something might be difficult.”

“It’s more than just difficult. Look over there, Wu Yan, ranked seventeenth, and Mo Changfeng, ranked eighth, are both here, and who knows how many other big names are hiding around.”

“Maybe we should just give up; otherwise, we might end up dead without knowing how it happened.”

Hearing his companion’s words, the young man showed signs of fear.

The top-ranked individuals were all Tier Five experts, far beyond what people like them could contend with.

They could end up losing their lives instead of getting the treasure, which would be a tremendous loss.

The companion seemingly understood this truth as well, similarly contemplating retreat.

But just then.

A commotion suddenly erupted in the crowd.

A stern-looking young man appeared in the mine, leading a large group of enormous elemental species.

“Isn’t that Yan Wu? How did he show up as well?!”

“Yan Wu? The elemental type big shot ranked third?”

“My god, that’s so many Tier Five species!”

“Is this the strength of the third rank?”

“Damn it! With him here, snatching anything will be even harder!”

…

The crowd below started discussing fervently, their expressions immediately turning serious.

Yan Wu ignored them, swaggering into the mine area as if afraid others wouldn’t know he’d come.

Plus, with his fame, word spread quickly, and everyone in the mining area knew of his arrival, prompting them to become wary.

There was no choice.

As a regular in the top ten rankings, Yan Wu’s strength was unquestionable, making him the biggest threat in this treasure chest contention.

Many had already secretly agreed to stop Yan Wu as soon as he made a move, preventing him from getting the treasure chest contents. Otherwise, once Yan Wu escaped, there would be almost no chance of getting it back!

Yan Wu was naturally aware of the atmosphere change in the field, barely perceptibly smiling.

He subtly glanced at a hidden figure in the mine’s corner and then confidently stepped forward, drawing everyone’s attention.

Hidden in the corner, Lin You had concealed his plant species in the black forest behind the mine, only bringing Lingxi and a few Tree Spirit Leaders to divert attention.

Now, all attention was on Yan Wu.

No one noticed him or recognized him, nor did they think his species posed much of a threat.

As time went on, more people arrived outside the mine area, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

Everyone looked up to the sky at the rapidly approaching light, as if anticipating something.

“It’s here!”

Suddenly, someone shouted.

The tense crowd was startled, watching the light descend with formidable momentum.

“Boom!!”

The ground in the mining area shook violently.

A sweeping wave of force spread out, shaking the surrounding stone mountains and raising a cloud of dust.

Then, a treasure chest adorned with gold edges, twice as luxurious as before, appeared before them.

“The treasure chest!”

The sight of the treasure chest shocked everyone, filling them with joy.

Last time, they missed the chance to compete for treasure due to ignorance. Now that a treasure chest had finally landed again, they weren’t letting it slip away.

“Move! Grab the treasure chest first!”

“Get lost! The treasure chest is mine!”

“Stop them! Don’t let them touch the chest!”

“In your dreams! Get out of my way!”

“Ah——”

…

Instantly, chaos erupted in the mining area.

Everyone led their species towards the chest, launching dazzling attacks that exploded in the crowd.

Within moments, many were killed on the spot.

Amid the crowd, Yan Wu didn’t remain idle.

He led his elemental species, breaking through the encirclement, quickly approaching the chest, alarming others.

“Quick! Stop him!”

They knew Yan Wu’s strength well. If he touched the chest, it would spell trouble.

Everyone turned their attacks towards Yan Wu, swiftly surrounding him to keep him away from the chest.

However.

Yan Wu suddenly smiled slightly.

“Earthquake Technique!”

With his low shout, his earth elements simultaneously raised their arms, slamming their massive fists onto the ground.

Crash!

The ground split, the soil caved, spreading rapidly, shaking the entire area.

Caught off guard, people and species lost balance, feeling numb, even the chest area wasn’t spared.

At that moment.

Vines suddenly shot out, skimming the ground straight towards the chest.

Lin You finally made his move!
