Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 116: Chapter 115: Envoys from Shuangye City

The incident at Mo Yuan City caused quite a stir.

And as the source of it all, Lin You was currently staying peacefully within his territory, researching his species.

After accumulating a whole night’s worth of experience, two Wood Shadow Dragons, one Wood Lion, and two Wood Calamity Turtles successfully advanced to Tier Seven.

These species were among the first he recruited after arriving on the Primordial Continent.

After such a long time of experience accumulation, they finally reached completion, heralded by a series of prompts.

[Congratulations, your Wood Shadow Dragon’s experience is at maximum value, meeting the conditions for Tier Seven upgrade. Would you like to upgrade?]

[Congratulations, your Wood Lion’s experience is at maximum value, meeting the conditions for Tier Seven upgrade. Would you like to upgrade?]

[Congratulations, your Wood Calamity Turtle’s experience is at maximum value, meeting the conditions for Tier Seven upgrade. Would you like to upgrade?]

“Upgrade!”

Lin You had already seen the advanced forms of the Wood Shadow Dragon and the Wood Lion.

So, this time he mainly wanted to see the advanced form of the Wood Calamity Turtle.

Upon his words, the Wood Calamity Turtle before him was immediately enveloped in a glow, and its body began to undergo rapid changes.

The most noticeable change was the evergreen tree on its back, which directly fell off and transformed into thick wooden thorns extending outward.

Its limbs also grew stalks that extended out from its shell.

It surprisingly looked like a spiked shield lying flat on the ground!

[Name: Thorn Shield Profound Turtle]

[Race: Plant]

[Level: Tier Seven (0/2500)]

[Power: 455]

[Constitution: 910]

[Agility: 455]

[Spirit: 870]

[Skills: Super Regeneration, Turtle Shield Mirror Wall, Earth Escape, Shield Form (Can freely switch between ordinary form and shield form.)]

[Introduction: One of the Equipment Species, it can freely switch forms to become the sturdiest shield for allies.]

“Equipment Species?”

Lin You looked at the introduction of the Thorn Shield Profound Turtle with surprise.

He initially thought that it would simply gain a new skill like the Wood Lion, but he didn’t expect it to transform into something he had never seen before.

Could it be that after Tier Seven, equipment forms of species appear?

In his amazement, Lin You immediately commanded the Thorn Shield Profound Turtle in front of him to switch to shield form.

Then, the Thorn Shield Profound Turtle retracted its head and limbs, leaving only the stalks wriggling outside its body.

Becoming a bit curious, Lin You called over Cyan Gang, who was testing its strength against other Tree Spirits, to let it try reaching out to those stalks.

In the next instant.

The stalks immediately wrapped around Cyan Gang’s arm, forming a shield tightly embedded on its large arm.

“It really works!?” Lin You was overjoyed.

Watching Cyan Gang curiously examining the shield on its arm, he directly issued an attack order.

Then, Cyan Gang leapt high and slammed the Thorn Shield on its arm to the ground with force.

“Boom!”

A deafening boom echoed as the entire ground shook violently.

Upon inspection, the attacked ground had a massive crater formed, and the power of the attack was nearly as strong as Tier Five!

Bear in mind, Cyan Gang was only Tier Four at this time!

And most importantly, in shield form, the Thorn Shield Profound Turtle could still release Turtle Shield Mirror Wall and engage in Super Regeneration Self-Recovery, eliminating any concerns about damage.

This is where this species shines the most.

Subsequently.

Lin You turned towards the other species that advanced to Tier Seven.

He was in luck, as the two Wood Shadow Dragons advanced into a Demon King Dragon and Demon Consort Dragon respectively, making a perfect pair capable of using combined skills.

The Wood Lion advanced into a Blade Shadow Two-headed Lion, greatly enhancing its strength.

Adding the two Thorn Shield Profound Turtles, his Tier Seven species count suddenly rose to twelve!

With such strength, he could finally start addressing the matter of establishing trade routes with the Flame River Kingdom.

With this thought, Lin You opened the contact interface, found the name of Zhou Muyuan that he had saved previously, and sent a message.

[Send failed, unable to contact lords of other regions.]

“Can’t contact?” Lin You was slightly taken aback.

It seems the private message function isn’t all-powerful, as it can only be used to contact lords within the same region and not across duchies.

This means he would have to find another opportunity to traverse the Gobi Desert to the other side of the Flame River Kingdom in the future.

He just hoped that Zhou Muyuan hadn’t perished on the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms.

If he had died, it would indeed complicate things a bit.

After all, Lin You wasn’t too familiar with the Flame River Kingdom.

Resigned, he closed the chat interface and opened the Duchy Leaderboard for a look.

First place: Qiu Changsheng [Tier Six: Humanoid Type]

Second place: Yan Rang [Tier Six: Demon Type]

Third place: Ji Yunshuang [Tier Six: Angel Type]

Fourth place: Zhao Aotian [Tier Six: Mechanical Type]

Fifth place: Nangong Jianyu [Tier Six: Undead Type]

…

478th place: Lin You [Tier Six: Plant Type]

…

The increase in Tier Seven species, in addition to the booming of Tier Six, directly boosted Lin You’s ranking from the 900s to over 400, a rise of more than 500 places.

The ones ahead of him were either veteran lords with many more Tier Seven species than him or had extraordinary opportunities boosting the strength of their species.

As a newly-arrived lord, Lin You was already very satisfied being in this position.

Moreover, with time, his Tier Seven species would grow in number, and making it into the top hundred shouldn’t be an issue.

Closing the leaderboard, he glanced at the clear, sunny weather outside.

Lin You then took Lingxi, mounted the Demon King Dragon, and left the territory to patrol the surroundings.

Over this period of development, the scale of farmland had expanded several times, stretching as far as the eye could see, covered in lush green crops.

The moat outside Yellow Sand City had also been completed, enclosing the entire city.

Thanks to the water supply from the moat, the trees that were planted earlier began to grow, surrounding Yellow Sand City with greenery, looking vibrant and losing its former desolation.

From a distance, one could see many teams of cultivators banding together to hunt demons in the Gobi Desert, seemingly just arrived from other places.

Not to mention the city gate.

Early in the morning, many villagers from nearby villages had come to settle, with cars and people bustling, finally showing the vibrancy of a city.

“Lord!”

At this moment, a shout came from the distance.

Following the voice, Lin You saw Xu Zhong hurriedly approaching, looking anxious.

“What’s the matter? Why are you in such a rush?”

Lin You directed the Demon King Dragon to land in front of him.

“It’s Shuangye City… the envoy from Shuangye City wants to see you,” Xu Zhong said, panting.

“The envoy from Shuangye City?” Lin You was slightly surprised.

“Yes… yes, not only did they send an envoy, but they also brought many gifts, saying they represent their lord to greet you.”

“There’s such a thing? Let’s go; take me to see them.”

The fact that the lord of Shuangye City sent someone to greet him intrigued Lin You, and he quickly followed Xu Zhong, passing through the city gate and hurrying towards the city under the watchful eyes of the pedestrians.

Soon, they arrived at the reception hall of Yellow Sand City, and indeed saw Xue Changgui and Wei Gang along with a few unfamiliar cultivators, with a pile of rich supplies beside them.

“Lord.”

Seeing Lin You, Xue Changgui and Wei Gang immediately came forward to pay their respects.

And the envoys from Shuangye City, upon seeing Lingxi and the Demon King Dragon beside Lin You, were all taken aback.

“Tier Seven!”
