Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 43: Chapter 42: Tier Six Demon, the Secret of the Mine Cave

“Demon?”

Lin You halted his steps, looking at a group of rock monsters appearing not far away.

Their size was comparable to the Tier Five Rock Demon he encountered earlier.

Cautiously approaching, the information about these rock monsters appeared before his eyes.

[Name: Earth Split Guardian]

[Race: Elemental]

[Level: Tier Five]

[Power: 190]

[Constitution: 188]

[Agility: 77]

[Spirit: 125]

[Skills: Rock Strike, Stone Throwing]

[Introduction: Guardian of the Elemental Land, formed from the essence of the earth, with formidable strength.]

…

Indeed, just as rumors said, the demons here are all Tier Five.

Looking at the introduction in the demon’s information, Lin You was a bit puzzled.

If he remembered correctly, the Elemental Land should be the territory of the Elemental Type, so why is it also called this here?

It is quite strange…

However, these Earth Split Guardians are not to be underestimated either; their attributes rival those of Rock Demons, both being types with strong power.

Of course, their weaknesses are equally obvious, namely their slow speed.

This is probably due to their massive size.

Lin You counted; there were a total of ten Earth Split Guardians blocking his way, and the cave was wide enough for his plants to maneuver.

After observing his surroundings, he commanded the plants around him to spread out stealthily, approaching those wandering Earth Split Guardians.

The vines of the Pink Demoness swiftly maneuvered, using the cover of the rocky ground to reach their feet in no time.

“Now! Attack!”

At Lin You’s command, all the plants suddenly sprang into action, with the vines instantly wrapping around the bodies of the Earth Split Guardians.

Simultaneously, Lingxi led the magic system unit to wave their magic staffs, sending countless Wooden Thorns from all directions, piercing through their bodies.

The three Wood Demon Dragons directly launched the Shadow Skill, turning into phantoms to strike the nearest demons.

“Kacha!”

Within a moment, eight of the Earth Split Guardians were felled under their fierce attacks, shattered into pieces of rubble.

The remaining two broke free from the vines’ restraint and gathered a giant stone in their hands, casting it directly toward the nearby Pink Demoness.

They can even perform ranged attacks!

Fortunately, the two Tree Spirit Leaders reacted swiftly, stepping forward to shield the Pink Demoness. With a loud “boom,” they were both knocked back by the giant stone yet unharmed.

No wonder they were the toughest species under Lin You’s command, comparable to these rock demons.

Their injuries gradually healed under the treatment of the Wood Demons.

Soon, the two Earth Split Guardians were beaten to death by the plants, turning into piles of rubble on the ground.

[Killed Tier Five Earth Split Guardian, gained 48 Magic Energy points.]

[Killed Tier Five Earth Split Guardian, gained 50 Magic Energy points.]

[Killed Tier Five Earth Split Guardian, gained 46 Magic Energy points.]

…

From killing Tier Five Magical Beasts, you gain about 50 points of Magic Energy each.

These ten Earth Split Guardians provided nearly five hundred points of Magic Energy at once.

Lin You estimated that just the first wave of demons here was beyond what an ordinary lord could handle.

Not only were they powerfully strong but also capable of using remote skills.

Any carelessness could lead to disaster, even annihilation.

If not for Lingxi enhancing all plants’ attributes by ten percent, it might have been tricky for him to manage.

He didn’t know that.

The commotion just now reached the ears of those outside, causing quite a stir.

“Did you hear that? It sounded like fighting.”

“It should be encountering the Tier Five demons inside, starting a fight.”

“Judging by the noise, the numbers seem significant.”

The crowd speculated about the cave’s situation.

But not long after, the sound of fighting inside the cave abruptly ceased, disappearing completely.

“Strange, why did it get quiet so quickly? Could the battle be over?”

“Could it be they were killed by the demons?”

“Very likely!”

“I think we should leave here quickly, lest those demons rush out.”

The crowd spoke hastily, retreating quickly, fearing the demons inside might rush out and bring trouble upon them.

In no time, most of the people had left.

Only a few remained, still observing but too afraid to venture in to find out.

…

Inside the mine.

After dealing with the first batch of demons, Lin You continued advancing deeper.

Moving along, pausing intermittently, he killed demons and collected ores, gathering over eighty units of Copper Ore, nearly filling his personal space.

Not to mention the Magic Energy, which soared over two thousand points, breaking through the five thousand mark at once!

“Hmm? What’s that?”

Suddenly, Lin You uttered a soft exclamation, spotting a corpse lying at the corner ahead.

Rushing over for a closer look, it turned out to be a human corpse.

And it looked like it had only recently died; although the body was already in ruin, the blood had not completely clotted.

Could it be what those people mentioned?

The Tier Five lord who entered for exploration and didn’t return?

Lin You hadn’t expected to encounter the corpse of another lord in such a place.

Reaching such a depth inside showed that this lord wasn’t weak, but unfortunately, he couldn’t escape the fate of death, perishing here.

With a sigh, Lin You called the plants to bring some rocks, piling them into a tomb over the corpse and carving a tombstone with stones, then stood quietly in front, filled with emotions.

If possible, who would wish to die far from home?

“In your next life, be born into a good family, and don’t come into this world again.”

Lin You said softly to the tombstone, then turned to leave, moving on with the plants, increasing his pace significantly.

The appearance of this corpse provided him with a crucial piece of information.

That is, the demons here might be able to regenerate!

This person managed to reach such depths, having surely dealt with the entrance demons long before.

Yet, when it came for him to enter, the entrance still had demons, evidently showing that those demons would regenerate after death, and the regeneration cycle wasn’t long.

To avoid unforeseen incidents, Lin You had to speed up, exploring the remaining parts of the mine.

…

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

After killing the last Earth Split Guardian, Lin You finally reached the deepest part of the mine, facing a huge underground cavern.

“Finally reached the end.”

Lin You was delighted, hastening his steps toward the cavern, eager to see what lay inside.

But as he reached the entrance and looked inside, he was stunned by the sight before his eyes.

Inside this exaggeratedly large cavern lay a sea of architectural ruins he had never encountered before! In the center of these ruins stood a rock monster seven or eight meters tall, emanating an incredibly terrifying aura!

Tier Six Demon!?

Lin You retreated in shock, ready to run at any moment.

But soon, he noticed something unusual.

In the chest of the rock monster, two massive chains pierced through, firmly binding it in the cavern.

This… what is going on?

Lin You was full of astonishment.

Bravely approaching, the rock monster’s information appeared in his eyes.

[Name: Earth-Sundering Venerable]

[Race: Elemental]

[Level: Tier Six]

[Power: 400]

[Constitution: 400]

[Agility: 220]

[Spirit: 315]

[Skills: Smashing Heavy Strike, Giant Stone Throwing]

[Introduction: Originally an ordinary Earth Split Guardian, trapped here for some reason, it absorbed the Earth Spirit Vein over time, advancing to the more powerful Earth-Sundering Venerable.]

Indeed a Tier Six Demon!

Lin You’s pupils contracted.

Now he finally understood why roars were heard outside the mine.

It must have been caused by this Tier Six demon!
