132: Chapter 132 Call him Boss First When You Meet Him

Floating City.

Xu Qin stood inside the Watchtower, looking at the battlefield ahead.

He saw over ten thousand Void Rift Demons destroying the defensive line built by fifteen alien lords.

Living troops were running around everywhere, and markers indicating broken morale covered the entire screen.

Looking at this scene, Xu Qin had only one thought in mind.

If I kill these monsters later, what should I do if the void soul crystals that drop are seen during the settlement?

So...

"Tian Ming."

"Here."

"Attack. Bone Beasts in the front row, Ranged Troops follow up."

"Troglodytes, protect the Bone Transport Carts. While fighting, collect the monster corpses for me."

"Yes."

The gates of the Floating City opened.

The descent platform lit up with a dark golden glow.

Tian Ming led the tank-type Bone Beasts and landed first.

Following closely behind were the Musketeers and Elven Archers led by Chuan Yun and Tietang.

Then, one Bone Transport Cart after another, protected by Elite Troglodytes, slowly moved forward.

Tian Ming stood behind the pack of Bone Beasts and raised his right hand.

"Advance!"

Boom, boom, boom!

One thousand Bone Beasts formed a horizontal line and pressed directly toward the monster tide.

The first Void Rift Demon lunged up and slammed its claws into the Bone Beast's ribcage.

- 40!

The Bone Beast didn't budge.

It swung back, bang!

The Void Rift Demon's head was smashed into the ground.

- 620!

The second Void Rift Demon jumped up and bit into the Bone Beast's spine.

- 37!

Bang!

The Bone Beast slapped it away.

- 590

Then the Ranged Troops opened fire.

Bang!

Soul energy projectiles fired densely.

- 1178! - 1355! - 1242! - 1188! ...

The dense soul energy projectiles instantly killed the Void Rift Demons charging at the front.

Dark purple crystals rolled out from the remains.

But before they could roll a meter, the Elite Troglodytes picked them up along with the Void Rift Demons and tossed them into the Bone Transport Carts nearby.

... Inside the Orc territory.

The Tie Ge stood on the ruins, staring at the scene ahead, dumbfounded.

At this moment, all his troops had fled.

The defensive line had long since collapsed.

But the monsters hadn't come within a meter of the territory.

Because a group of four-to-five-meter-tall skeletal giants had blocked them and were advancing at a steady pace toward the monster tide.

The Void Rift Demons charging in the front lunged and bit like mad.

But no matter how fierce the assault, they couldn't shake the skeletal giants in the slightest.

"Such strong... defense."

The Tie Ge's lips began to tremble.

This was the first time he had seen such a powerful unit.

Moreover, what made him even more terrified was when the last few Bone Beasts were shattered by the Void Rift Demons.

They directly... bang! Exploded on the spot.

The violent shockwave sent those Void Rift Demons flying.

Then, the Bone Beasts behind immediately filled the gaps and continued to advance.

The Tie Ge watched this scene and thought of his own troops, a chill running down his spine.

"It is, it is the Undead Race!"

"Only the Undead Race can achieve this!"

He couldn't help but look up at the city in the sky again.

... Twenty minutes later, the battlefield quieted down.

Xu Qin looked at the battle timer and nodded with satisfaction.

Then... Ding!

[Battle Victory!]

[Settling loot...]

[Targets killed: Void Rift Demon (Level 3) × 15420]

[Basic drops:]

Void Rift Demon bones × 15420

Abyssal Bone Marrow × 308

void soul crystal × 154

The moment Xu Qin saw "Abyssal Bone Marrow" and "void soul crystal", he sprang up from his bone throne.

Good grief. Both materials dropped at the same time?

[Talent "War Gift" (Level 19) triggered! All loot quantity × 20!]

[Final acquisition:]

Void Rift Demon bones × 308400

Abyssal Bone Marrow × 6160

void soul crystal × 3080

[Battle Rating: A (Mass Annihilation)]

[Upgrade progress: 98.5%]

Xu Qin looked at those two lines of materials and suddenly realized.

No wonder these lords camp here every day to fight monsters.

It turns out the materials that drop are this good.

Xu Qin opened the [Forging Area] and found the blueprint for the Bone Emperor Scepter.

The bones, Abyssal Bone Marrow, and void soul crystal had been collected.

Now all that was missing was the Bone Essence.

"Bone Essence, this item is likely related to bones... No rush, I'll get it eventually."

Xu Qin closed the panel and looked at the fifteen alien territories in front of the ruins.

He didn't wipe them out just now not because he was kind.

It was because he needed information.

The situation with this ruin was quite special.

Scouting with vultures alone wouldn't reveal the full picture.

"Let's catch a live one and ask first."

Just as Xu Qin was pondering which lord to pick, beep!

A notification popped up on the command panel.

[Communication request: Lord Ta Lun (Treant Race)]

[Powerful Undead Lord, I represent the fifteen lords of the frontline joint defense and extend our sincerest gratitude to you. May we meet and talk?]

Xu Qin looked at this message and raised an eyebrow.

Eh? So proactive?

He was just thinking about how to catch a prisoner for interrogation, and now they were coming to him voluntarily.

"Fine, I'll reluctantly play the role of the messenger of justice."

Xu Qin replied: [Okay.]

... Three minutes later.

On the wasteland directly below the Floating City, three figures appeared.

Walking in front was a Treant over three meters tall.

Its entire body was covered in grayish-green bark, with several branches forking out from the top of its head, and a few withered leaves hanging from them.

At a glance, one could tell this was Lord Ta Lun.

Behind it followed a burly Orc and a Lizardman.

Xu Qin stood at the bottom of the Floating City's elevator, with Tian Ming and twenty tank-type Bone Beasts behind him.

He purposely brought only this many troops.

Showing too much would easily scare people away.

Lord Ta Lun walked to a spot ten meters in front of Xu Qin and stopped, lowering its wooden head.

"Thank you for your assistance, Undead Lord."

"If your army hadn't appeared in time, our defensive line would have completely collapsed today."

The Tie Ge behind him knelt on one knee, his voice booming:

"Boss! You're too strong! Those bone soldiers of yours are a hundred times stronger than the trash under my command!"

Xu Qin: "..."

Boss? Is this guy this smart?

"Get up, no need to kneel."

Xu Qin waved his hand, "I was just passing by, it was just a casual act."

Passing by? You mean passing by with a Floating City?

Lord Ta Lun didn't respond, but its bark-like face clearly relaxed a bit.

"May I ask... do you intend to stay in this area or continue moving forward?"

Xu Qin smiled inwardly.

What gratitude or whatnot. This is the real topic.

"We'll see." Xu Qin put his hands behind his back, "What about you guys, how long have you been fighting here?"

"Forty-three days," Lord Ta Lun replied.

Xu Qin's heart trembled slightly.

Good grief, they arrived earlier than the human race.

"You spent forty-three days just to farm those purple bugs?"

Lord Ta Lun and the Tie Ge exchanged glances before slowly speaking:

"Undead Lord, you may not understand the true value of this ruin."

"Oh?"

"It is not an ordinary relic of a holy object."

Lord Ta Lun turned to the side and pointed toward the direction shrouded in dark purple mist behind them.

"The core of that ruin... is a cross-dimensional teleportation array."
