Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 184: Chapter 183: Infiltrating the Primordial Evil Realm

When Lin You arrived at Qin Li’s secluded villa, it was already more than half an hour later.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Lin You eagerly asked, “What kind of mission is it, that the reward could be so generous?”

“Patience, my friend.” Qin Li gestured for Lin You to sit down, then picked up the teapot and poured tea as he said, “To be honest, this is a secret mission issued directly to us princes and princesses by my father, the Great Emperor.”

“Issued personally by the Great Emperor?” Lin You was inwardly startled.

“Yes, or you could say it’s a test for us.”

“Since it’s a test among you princes, it shouldn’t have much to do with me, right?” Lin You’s brows gradually knitted together.

From his perspective, he was reluctant to get involved in such affairs.

Qin Li seemed to have anticipated his words, smiling slightly, “Actually, it can’t really be said to be unrelated to you.”

“Oh? How so?” Lin You’s curiosity was piqued.

“The mission is simple. Each prince and princess needs to send someone to infiltrate the outposts in the Primordial Evil Realm and set teleportation coordinates there.”

“Is it to prepare for the battle between the two realms in a month?”

“You know about this matter too?”

Now it was Qin Li’s turn to be surprised.

He never expected Lin You to know about the impending war between the Primordial Realm and the Primordial Evil Realm.

After all, only a select few in power were privy to this information.

“I have my ways, naturally.”

Lin You didn’t disclose how he knew about this news, speaking lightly.

Qin Li gave him a deep look but didn’t inquire further. Instead, he continued explaining:

“Since you are aware, I won’t waste words. Though the mission sounds simple, infiltrating the outposts of the Primordial Evil Realm isn’t easy. The higher the tier, the more easily one is detected, hence my request for your help.”

With that, he looked at Lin You again.

As the Third Prince of the Sky Dome Empire, Qin Li was well-versed in the main city’s affairs and had long heard of Lin You’s recent active performance in the Neutral Zone.

To stand against multiple Tier Seven individuals as a mere Tier Six, and even manage to defeat them.

Such an astounding feat was rare across the entire Primordial Continent; hardly anyone could achieve it.

This was why Qin Li sought Lin You’s assistance.

After all, the lower the tier of the person sent, the less likely they would be detected, and the higher the success rate.

So naturally, he chose the strongest among the low-tier to undertake the mission.

Lin You was well aware of this logic.

However, to be cautious, he continued to ask, “Do you have a way to infiltrate the outposts? You should know that in different realms, one can clearly sense the other’s aura.”

“This is manageable; I’ve already prepared something to conceal your aura.”

As he spoke, Qin Li took out a cloak, unremarkable in appearance but adorned with peculiar patterns, and placed it on the stone table.

[Concealing Cloak: Hides one’s aura, making it undetectable.]

“This cloak can mask the aura of you and your species. Even a Tier Eight Lord can’t easily see through it. But it’s not effective at close range, so just be careful not to get too close to Tier Eight and above lords.”

“Tier Eight, huh…”

Lin You’s expression was somber.

Although there were fewer Tier Eight and above lords compared to Tier Six and Seven, it would still be incredibly dangerous if discovered.

Thinking of his protective chain armor, teleportation crystal, and substitute scarecrow, as long as he was careful, there was a good chance of completing the mission.

After all, the outpost on their side was merely guarded by a Tier Eight Soldier Commander.

Even if another Tier Eight occasionally passed by, there’s no way they’d keep an eye on him constantly, would they?

Should he succeed, he could gain resources to upgrade a Tier Eight species, a significant enhancement in strength.

With this in mind, he said, “Alright, I’ll take on this mission!”

“Are you sure?” Qin Li’s face lit up with joy.

“Certain, but you must provide detailed information about their outposts.”

“Of course, even if you didn’t ask, I have it prepared. This mission concerns my father’s test for me.”

“Then here’s to a successful partnership.”

“To a successful collaboration!”

The two exchanged smiles.

And so,

Lin You successfully undertook the mission to infiltrate the Primordial Evil Realm’s outpost.

He then stayed in the courtyard, listening to Qin Li’s subordinates relay various intelligence regarding the Primordial Evil Realm’s outposts.

He only left the courtyard in the afternoon, hurrying back to his territory to prepare for the operation.

…

Early the next morning.

Before dawn, Lin You awoke.

After a simple wash and a bit of food, he teleported to the main city with the concealing cloak.

No choice, as per Qin Li, apart from Lin You, the Eldest Prince and Second Princess’s people were also tasked. If he acted too slowly, the mission’s reward might not come his way.

Moreover, if the other two were discovered by the Primordial Evil Realm, the outposts would surely become more vigilant, hampering his actions.

He even enchanted his shoes with Tier Six rapid speed to increase his movement speed.

All his equipment was enchanted with various defenses, better than nothing.

Thus, in a hasty stride, he soon reached outside the city,

then mounted the Demon King Dragon, head towards the Primordial Evil Realm.

Fortunately, it was still morning, and few lords were out, reducing the risk of drawing attention.

Passing through the Primordial Realm’s outpost, he approached the neutral zone between the two realms and donned the concealing cloak.

Next up was the Primordial Evil Realm territory, and caution was paramount.

With that in mind, he had the Demon King Dragon ascend, distancing from ground detection.

He then swiftly crossed the neutral zone, entering the Primordial Evil Realm.

To Lin You’s surprise,

upon entry, a repelling sensation struck from all directions, as if forcing him out.

Though not intense, it persisted, causing much discomfort.

But for the mission’s reward, he had to endure.

As he ventured deeper, he began spotting the Primordial Evil Realm lords below. There were even flying species crossing paths from afar.

Thankfully, the distance kept him from being discovered.

“Quick, descend into that forest.”

Not daring to be negligent, Lin You promptly had the Demon King Dragon land in a concealed forest below, opting for a walking approach towards the outpost.

While the concealing cloak could hide his aura and the species’, he thought it safer to recall the Demon King Dragon, keeping only the diminutive Lingxi by his side for disguise.

Otherwise, moving without any species would look too suspicious.
