Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

“Bang!”

A dull sound echoed throughout the forest.

After over an hour of battle, Lin You finally led his troop to clear out the ordinary demons on the forest outskirts and entered the forest interior.

What surprised Lin You was.

The scenery inside the forest was different from the outside.

The outskirts were chaotic with a diversity of demons, and even many non-plant demons inhabited there.

But the interior was eerily quiet, with no demons in sight.

Instead, an eerie blue flower vine was everywhere, winding from the ground up to the trees, almost covering every corner.

As far as the eye could see, it was all a blur of blue, making the vision somewhat distorted and hallucinatory.

“Be careful.”

Lin You cautioned the few royals beside him, then had his troop tighten their formation and gather around him.

The forest’s interior was too eerie, clearly unusual.

After observing for a while to confirm there was no danger, he led his troop into the area covered by flower vines, slowly advancing.

On the way.

The imagined danger did not appear.

The surrounding environment was uniformly blue flower vines winding around trees and shrubs.

Some even hung down from the trees, flickering with eerie light, creating a magical and fantastical picture in the forest.

Seeing no danger, Lin You gradually quickened his pace, continuing deeper inside, observing the surroundings.

Uncertain how many flower vines and trees he had passed.

Until his ankles started to ache, his steps suddenly halted.

“Stop for a moment.”

Upon command, the entire troop stopped in their tracks.

Lin You’s brow slowly furrowed.

He had calculated earlier.

He had walked inside the forest for over half an hour.

With his pace, without demon obstruction, he should have crossed the forest by now.

Yet he was still in the forest interior and hadn’t seen the marks he left along the way appear.

Which meant, he wasn’t lost.

Instead…

As if to confirm his guess.

At that moment, the Soul Spear on his Ice Soul Great Saber flashed, spreading a chill throughout his body.

Then, the eerie blue flower vines suddenly moved.

The previously dull flowers blossomed with bright light, casting the entire forest in an eerie blue.

Immediately, his vision blurred.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a Thorn Forest surrounded by flower vines, encircling them.

Not far from them, a huge rosebud with a twisted human face slowly bloomed, accompanied by eerie laughter echoing through the forest.

The surrounding thorns, driven by the laughter, twisted madly, resembling sharp, spiked tentacles.

[Name: Deep Blue Dream (Lord)]

[Race: Plant]

[Level: Tier Nine (D-level)]

[Power: 9400 (+3760)]

[Constitution: 9400 (+3760)]

[Agility: 7000 (+2800)]

[Spirit: 10000 (+4000)]

[Skills: Blue Illusion Realm, Spiritual Disruption, Spiritual Storm]

[Chaos: 40% increase in all attributes]

[Introduction: A rose plant very skilled in spiritual attacks, capable of creating illusion realms within its surrounding area, with unpredictable and eerie attacks.]

Lord demon!

And at D-level!

Seeing the interface before his eyes, Lin You’s expression instantly darkened.

The surrounding scene had transformed from a serene garden into a Thorn Forest, laden with demon corpses and blood and shattered bones everywhere on the ground.

No wonder they hadn’t encountered any demons along the way; the forest was occupied by a lord demon skilled in spiritual attacks.

The illusion earlier was to lure him here to kill him.

If not for the Soul Spear enchantment on the Ice Soul Great Saber providing 18% Spiritual Resistance, he would have fallen for the demon’s trap.

A total of 14,000 in Spiritual Attribute.

Even Lingxi under Barbaric Roar couldn’t compare.

Not to mention other species.

This was even more formidable than the Jade-Scaled Dragon Python they encountered in the Nightmare Forest, making Lin You’s face turn serious.

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

Not giving him more time to think, a series of piercing sounds suddenly arose.

Under the twisted human face’s eerie laughter, countless blue-flowered thorns shot out, swiftly surrounding him.

With the lord-level Deep Blue Dream, the thorn coverage was even wider than his Cyan Rattan’s Vine Forest, almost spanning the surrounding two kilometers.

And they were now at the very center of it.

To break out of the encirclement, they had only one option: kill the lord demon.

“Cyan Gang!”

Without hesitation, Lin You directly shouted to Cyan Gang in the troop.

Group Buff Skill, Barbaric Roar activated!

In an instant.

Red light surged, enhancing all plant attributes by 30%, directly confronting the rushing blue thorns.

“Bang!”

A muffled sound, woodchips flew from the Ancient Tree’s body.

Under the dual boost of the Barbaric Roar and Four-leaf Clover Physique Protection, the defense of the Ancient Tree Species nearly matched that of a D-level Lord Demon.

With the Cyan Gang Commanding Battlefield talent further enhancing the defense of close combat species by 20%, and the Holy Shield provided by the Sacred Artifact, they easily withstood the first round of attacks from the Deep Blue Dream.

An abundance of vines and thorns emerged, fiercely clashing in the forest.

However, Lin You dared not let his guard down.

Because his Wild Horse Roar only lasted 30 seconds, and the Deep Blue Dream hadn’t even utilized its spiritual attack skills outside of the Blue Illusion Realm yet.

He must close the distance to the Deep Blue Dream’s main body before the state expires.

“Full speed ahead!”

With a loud shout, the Cyan Gang at the forefront immediately activated the Gravity Field, restricting the frontal attacks of those thorns.

Then, streams of Sword Qi slashed out, cutting down all the thorns blocking the path.

The massive Cyan Rattan, along with the rear troops, held back the remaining thorns.

Thus, fighting all the way forward, 30 seconds quickly passed.

“Buzz——”

Just as the Barbaric Roar state vanished, the Deep Blue Dream suddenly moved.

An invisible ripple burst forth centered on its main body, sweeping across Lin You’s entire Plant Legion with lightning speed.

Spiritual Disruption.

Activated!

Caught off guard, Lin You felt as if his head were struck hard, as a prompt resonated in his ear.

[Affected by the ’Spiritual Disruption’ skill, Spirit reduced by 70%, lasting 20 seconds.]

70% reduction in Spirit!

Lin You was shocked; it was the first time he encountered such a bizarre effect.

Even with the Frost Spirit Set reducing abnormal state impacts by 25%, he felt a daze, falling into a state of Confusion.

Even the species around him lost momentum, with their skill effects greatly diminished.

Not good!

Suddenly, a shiver ran down Lin You’s spine, and he instantly regained clarity.

As expected.

After massively lowering their Spiritual Attributes, the twisted face of the Deep Blue Dream let out another eerie laughter.

The laughter was almost tangible, rippling through the Thorn Forest, twisting the entire air.

Spiritual Storm, activated!

Indeed!

This was precisely the last skill of the Deep Blue Dream!

Lin You had never imagined.

This Lord Demon could use skill combinations, first reducing their Spirit, lowering spiritual resistance, then launching a wide-range killer move, the Spiritual Storm.

Is this the wisdom of high-Spirit demons?

Offering no chance to react, the terrifying storm made up of Spiritual Power instantly swept across the entire team.

The Ancient Tree Species and Cannibal Flower Species with relatively low Spiritual Attributes fell in an instant, and other species collapsed to the ground, unable to rise.

It was as if the entire world was distorted!

“Buzz——”

Fortunately, at this moment, the Forest Sage, unaffected by skills, activated the Peaceful Domain.

The Rule Power symbolizing absolute peace excluded the Spiritual Storm, finally granting Lin You a moment to breathe.

He endured the excruciating pain in his head, mobilizing the Power of Rule.

Just as the Peaceful Domain was about to vanish, a large burst of red light exploded, enveloping himself and the remaining plants.

Simultaneously, the Guardian Barrier and Life Curtain activated, two massive light shields appeared, covering an area over two hundred meters in range.

“Boom!”

The Peaceful Domain disappeared, and the Spiritual Storm harshly struck the two large light shields, rippling waves outward.

With the two boosts, they managed to barely withstand this wave of impact.

Then, the Flower Spirit Legion, with the highest Spiritual Attributes, recovered first. Led by Lingxi, they swayed into the air, raising their Magic Staff high.

In an instant.

Group Healing illuminated, the emerald Life Aura enveloping the field, pulling the other plants back from the brink of death.

Lin You also held on with the equipment’s Spiritual Resistance, successfully escaping danger.

As the 20 seconds passed and the effect of Spiritual Disruption vanished.

Only a scene of devastation remained, with the field littered with species’ corpses.

Amazingly, more than half of his species were wiped out in an instant!

“Damn! This is insane!”

Lin You cursed softly, seizing the opportunity while Deep Blue Dream was in a skill casting pause, immediately taking out a rare group artifact, the Angels of the Gods’ Prayer.

The next second.

Sacred Radiance exploded, reviving all the fallen species, instantly restoring them to their peak state.

“Charge! Uproot its root for me!”

At this moment, the Deep Blue Dream had just consecutively activated two big skills, at its most vulnerable.

Lin You wouldn’t miss this chance to beat the dog while it’s down.

With a loud roar, the rejuvenated Plant Legion rushed fiercely toward the main body of the Deep Blue Dream, initiating a violent assault.

In an instant, vines danced, and explosions echoed incessantly.

The Deep Blue Dream frantically swung its thorns to fend them off, but it was futile as Lin You’s Barbaric Roar effect remained.

With the Defense Shield provided upon the Guardian Barrier’s shattering, they finally broke through the Deep Blue Dream’s thorn defense, launching a barrage of attacks on its main body, eliciting sharp, piercing screams.

The fiercest attacker among them.

Undoubtedly was the Cyan Rattan, sharing the same origin as this Lord Demon.

As if to prove itself as the top tentacle, one vine after another tore through the surrounding thorns, rapidly entwining around the Deep Blue Dream’s main body, engaging in intense combat.

Finally.

With the terrifying power boosted by the Barbaric Roar, the Cyan Rattan uprooted the Deep Blue Dream’s main body.

Amidst angry wails, it twisted off its flower core, releasing a burst of dark green sap.

[Congratulations, you successfully killed a Tier Nine Lord Demon, earning 1 million Magic Energy, and 1 point of battlefield merit.]

The pleasant prompt resonated in Lin You’s mind.

With its main body destroyed, the wildly twisting azure thorns around it instantly lost all power, weakly drooping to the ground.

And the numerous blue buds on them also withered, turning into withered petals scattered across the ground.
