Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 68: Chapter 67: Vein

“Cultivators?” Lin You was taken aback, “Are there cultivators in this world?”

“Why? Hasn’t Lord heard of them?” Xu Zhong asked curiously.

“In our Great Wilderness Kingdom, apart from people like Lord who are chosen by deities, there are many ordinary people like us who have lived here since childhood. Through cultivation, we gain the power to communicate with deities and gradually grow stronger. These people are known as cultivators.”

“Of course, compared to the chosen ones like Lord, there is still quite a gap. Not only do they cultivate slowly, but they can’t summon the deities’ servants like Lord.”

At the end, Xu Zhong didn’t forget to flatter Lin You.

However, Lin You didn’t pay attention to this.

He was instead startled by the words he heard.

Ordinary people here can also cultivate?

If he guessed correctly, the ordinary people Xu Zhong mentioned should be the natives of the Primordial Continent.

Then the power to communicate with deities would be the power obtained from the system.

This means that these people can also cultivate and level up.

They just can’t summon territories, recruit species, and upgrade rapidly like these Lords.

This is rather interesting.

Seems like this world isn’t as simple as he imagined; it has its own cultivation system.

But come to think of it…

The Primordial Continent being the center of the Ten Thousand Realms is filled with demons. How could they all just be ordinary people?

If he can absorb these talents, his territory’s strength will undoubtedly increase significantly.

It’s just unfortunate.

Because his place is too remote and desolate, there isn’t even a single cultivator among his subjects.

It’s estimated that within those larger territories, there will be quite a few cultivator subjects…

Later on.

Lin You continued to ask Xu Zhong about this world and gradually began to have a basic understanding of his surroundings.

Currently, he is in the Great Wilderness Duchy.

One of the ten subsidiary duchies under the Holy Radiance Kingdom.

It’s considered a relatively peripheral area in the Primordial Continent.

Because it’s desolate and remote, it’s named “Great Wilderness,” and is one of the weakest duchies among the ten.

In the duchy, the cities are scattered, controlled by various Lords large and small, competing fiercely for resources.

There is constant friction between the duchies.

To survive in such an environment, one must continuously improve their strength.

Speaking of which…

Exploring the depths of the Gobi Desert is imperative; it’s an opportunity to gather more magic energy.

Thinking about this, Lin You asked Xu Zhong to go back first.

And he hurriedly set out with four Tier Six Plants, including Lingxi.

As for the defense of the territory, it was left to the Cyan Rattan Mushroom Demon King and those newly recruited Tier Five Species.

After all, his place is remote, so there’s no worry about other Lords coming over.

…

More than half an hour later, Lin You finally arrived at the depths of the Gobi Desert.

Surprisingly.

Deep in the Gobi, there was an enormous rock fault.

Towering tens of meters high, creating a significant drop between the land on either side.

To continue forward, one must climb down the fault.

No wonder no demons ran to Yellow Sand City to wreak havoc; the terrain blocked them.

Lin You stood at a high point.

At a glance, he saw an endless flat land below the fault, seemingly not as barren as he had imagined.

Instead, there were weeds growing, and some unfamiliar tropical plants started to appear.

And the height of several dozen meters was no difficulty for him. He easily climbed down with the plants and continued forward.

After walking for more than ten minutes, they finally encountered the first demon.

A rapidly running Tier Three Saw-toothed Antelope.

[Name: Saw-toothed Antelope]

[Species: Wild Beast]

[Level: Tier Three]

[Power: 42]

[Constitution: 37]

[Agility: 45]

[Spirit: 38]

[Skills: Fierce Impact]

[Introduction: A demon growing in the Gobi, running at high speed, with long saw-toothed horns possessing strong impact power.]

“Venison, a good thing, quickly stop it from running away!”

Seeing the running antelope, Lin You’s eyes instantly lit up and quickly surrounded it with the plants.

The antelope seemed to sense the threat, and upon seeing them, turned and ran, fleeing in the opposite direction.

But Lin You’s plants wouldn’t let it escape.

From the sky, the Wood Demon Dragon swiftly swooped down, transforming into a shadow strike at the antelope.

The fleeing antelope didn’t even have time to react; its neck was already sliced open and it crashed to the ground.

[Killed Tier Three Saw-toothed Antelope, gained 10 points of magic energy.]

The notification sounded in Lin You’s mind.

Soon, he led Lingxi and two Blood Demonesses over, joyfully stored the antelope’s corpse in his personal space.

“Not bad, we can have an extra dish tonight.”

With a smile on his face, Lin You continued forward, searching for more demons.

After reaching Tier Six, the capacity of his personal space had increased to two hundred units, easily storing over a hundred demon corpses.

So for an entire day, he explored the Gobi, constantly hunting demons and collecting magic energy, while also gathering demon corpses.

As he delved deeper, the level and number of demons he encountered increased, until he finally encountered two Tier Six demons!

Fortunately, the plants around him were strong enough.

Ultimately, they solved them with some thrills, gaining over two hundred points of magic energy and two massive demon corpses, then ceased further exploration, only hunting nearby.

Until near sunset.

Lin You returned to Yellow Sand City with the plants and called Xue Changgui over.

“Lord, why did you come personally?”

Xue Changgui, along with his stewards, hurriedly greeted Lin You as he entered the city.

“I just returned from outside, passing by to have a look. By the way, how’s the statistics work going?” Lin You asked.

Xue Changgui quickly replied, “Reporting to Lord, it was already completed by noon, but since you weren’t here, we’ve left it aside.”

“Is that so? That’s good. Just give it to me later. Also, I want to ask, are there any veins of iron ore or copper ore nearby?”

“Veins?” Xue Changgui paused, “Do you mean places that produce ore? If that’s the case, there are plenty below the nearby mountains, all mined by the previous Lord.”

“There really are?”

Lin You was delighted.

Initially, he just asked offhandedly, not expecting there to actually be veins nearby, and mined by the previous Lord!

Thinking of this, he immediately said, “That’s perfect. Please help notify everyone that anyone willing to help me collect ore can receive ten pounds of meat daily. The speed doesn’t matter, as long as they’re diligent, healthy, and strong.”
