Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Land of the Dead.

In the midst of a barren plain of bleached bones.

The originally tranquil sky suddenly twisted, and Lin You, who had teleported to escape an underground mine, appeared here and plummeted abruptly.

“Damn!”

Lin You cursed outright, not expecting to be teleported hundreds of meters into the air this time.

If he were to fall directly, he’d likely be shattered to pieces.

Without daring to think, he hurriedly contacted his territory and summoned the Demon Emperor Dragon, catching him in mid-air, allowing him to land steadily on the plains.

“Whew—”

“Finally got out.”

Gazing at the familiar surroundings, Lin You let out a long breath.

The Land of the Dead is an area bordering the Mechanical Empire, mostly composed of Tier Seven and Tier Eight Lords and Demons, relatively safe.

At least he hadn’t been teleported to some bizarre place again.

Recalling the terrifying aura of the Tier Ten Demon earlier, he felt a pang of unease.

If luck had been worse, teleported directly to the face of the Tier Ten Demon, he might never have returned alive.

Indeed, this random teleportation ability is best used sparingly.

But then again.

His brush with death this time truly yielded tremendous rewards.

Not only obtaining a precious Holy Spirit Stone but also acquiring the moulting of that Tier Ten Demon.

With some additional materials, it should be enough to forge a piece of Tier Ten Equipment, truly turning misfortune into blessing.

“Zhang Guan, right?”

Lin You’s gaze sharpened, recalling the Tier Nine Lord who had forced him into such dire straits.

Although he had used a group revival artifact to resurrect all fallen species before teleporting away.

It’s undeniable that this battle was incredibly taxing.

Giving him a real sense of the power of a Tier Nine Lord.

Moreover, he discovered his own shortcoming.

Lacking dispel ability!

Had it not been for that Soul-Binding Curse preventing his teleportation escape, he wouldn’t have been in such a sorry state.

If only he had a dispel skill.

Even if it merely weakened part of the curse’s effect, he could have responded more calmly.

Just consider it a novice mistake.

But then again.

Dispel skills are a hallmark of the Angel Type, and if there’s a chance, he could let the Cannibal Flower try to replicate it.

And the Holy Spirit Stone he just obtained also enhances resistance to negative states.

Whether it can resist Zhang Guan’s Soul-Binding Curse and various Attribute-lowering effects of the Demon Type remains unknown.

Now, the enmity between him and Zhang Guan is already set.

Even if he doesn’t seek immediate revenge, the other side won’t spare him easily.

A little inquiry could easily reveal his territory’s location.

Though Lords typically avoid causing trouble in other countries, it’s necessary to prepare, forewarned is forearmed.

Otherwise, if Zhang Guan really comes knocking, even if he’s fine, Yellow Sand City would suffer, and seeking external help would be too late.

Loss of territory would undoubtedly slow his upgrade progress significantly.

Moreover, having invested so much effort and resources into Yellow Sand City, it’s not something to be destroyed lightly.

Furthermore.

He despises sitting idle, awaiting fate!

“Looks like it’s the only way.”

Suddenly, Lin You’s eyes hardened, a glint of cold flash fleetingly.

Quickly recovering from his injuries, he rode the Demon Emperor Dragon, taking off directly toward the Mechanical Empire.

An hour later.

He arrived at the control center and teleported back to the Holy Sanctuary via the Teleportation Array, successfully contacting Yan Lie, who was in the Floating Islands farming the Secret Realm, and Situ Jian, attending an auction in the Holy Sanctuary city.

Soon, the three gathered in a hidden corner by a statue on the platform.

“This is really surprising; you’re actually reaching out to us.”

Yan Lie was flanked by two Beastman Species, still bearing some fresh bloodstains, seemingly just fresh from battle.

“You didn’t clarify in the private chat earlier, what’s the matter?” Situ Jian followed up.

Moments ago, he was about to auction his items when he received Lin You’s private message, saying an urgent matter needed discussing.

Fully aware of Lin You’s capabilities.

If even he claimed it was significant, it certainly wasn’t trivial.

Thus, they abandoned their activities and rushed over.

“I need help from you guys on something,” Lin You said straightforwardly.

“Help?”

“What’s something even you can’t manage?”

Yan Lie and Situ Jian expressed surprise.

“Actually, when I ventured to the Demon Plane today, I encountered an ambush by a Tier Nine Lord and fought.”

“A Tier Nine Lord?”

“So you ran into a Tier Nine Lord?”

Their shock deepened.

They’re well aware of the formidable power a Tier Nine Lord holds.

Not something an ordinary Tier Eight Lord can afford to provoke.

Yet Lin You claimed he battled a Tier Nine Lord and stood here unharmed, indicating even a Tier Nine Lord couldn’t subdue him.

Such strength was enough to leave them astounded.

Then Situ Jian seemed to recall something, suddenly asking, “You don’t intend to ask us to help deal with that Tier Nine Lord, do you?”

“Wrong.” Lin You shook his head.

“It’s not dealing with, it’s killing, killing the Tier Nine Lord!”

Exactly!

This was Lin You’s real intention.

Only by removing Zhang Guan can he ensure lasting peace; otherwise, he wouldn’t sleep peacefully.

And with ample preparation, he might just succeed!

“This…”

Yan Lie and Situ Jian were completely stunned, staring at Lin You with shock, as if trying to find a hint of joking from his expression.

Slaying a Tier Nine Lord.

This isn’t something that can be done just by talking about it.

Especially when they were only Tier Eight!

No matter how they observed, they found Lin You’s expression extremely serious, not at all like he was joking.

Crazy.

This guy is truly crazy.

However, such a madman stirred their hearts, with a small flame suddenly igniting within them.

“Gulp…” Yan Lie swallowed.

“How confident are you?” Situ Jian asked in a low voice.

Neither of them noticed that their hands were slightly trembling.

In Yan Lie’s eyes, there was a spark of eager anticipation and intense fighting spirit.

“Seventy percent, if you agree to help.”

Lin You thought for a moment and said.

This was his conservative estimate.

Because he alone possessed the equivalent of over three hundred Tier Nine Species, able to withstand half of the opponent’s pressure.

The Beastman Legion under Yan Lie’s momentum was slightly weaker than Tier Nine, but not by much.

Plus, with Situ Jian’s insect harassment and sneak attacks, there was still a good chance of success.

“Seventy percent?” Situ Jian murmured to himself, surprise flashing in his eyes.

This was much higher than he had imagined.

Even more than fifty percent was beyond his imagination.

It couldn’t help but make him feel tempted.

Not to mention battle-crazed Yan Lie.

Hearing Lin You’s answer, he immediately laughed, “Haha, seventy percent is good enough. I’m going to establish a Beastman Empire in the future. If I’m afraid of even this, I might as well give up now.”

With that, he pounded his chest forcefully.

“Since you put it that way, I can’t lose to you either. I choose to join as well.” Situ Jian said with a slight smile, also joining this crazy plan.

“Thank you.” Lin You said solemnly.

“Whether this succeeds or not, consider myself owing both of you a favor. You can come to me anytime if you need anything in the future.”

“That’s what you said.”

“Then I absolutely have to go.”

Yan Lie and Situ Jian exchanged a glance and both laughed.

A favor from the continent’s strongest Tier Eight is a real treasure.

That alone was enough to make them take action.

Moreover, they had worked with Lin You so many times before and could be considered friends.

When a friend is in trouble, how can they just stand by?

“By the way, who is it that you’re dealing with?”

At this moment, Situ Jian suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Yan Lie also turned to Lin You.

“Zhang Guan, someone within our Realm.”

“Zhang Guan?” Yan Lie frowned.

“What? Do you know him?” Lin You asked curiously.

“I don’t know him.” Yan Lie shook his head, “But I’ve heard of this guy, he has a bad reputation and often attacks others in the same Realm. He’s a total bastard.”

“I’ve also heard a bit about him. Although his strength isn’t very strong among Tier Nines, he’s extremely insidious. I didn’t expect it was him that you encountered.”

Situ Jian chimed in.

“Just as you both mentioned, he was after the treasures on me, but I managed to escape successfully in the end.”

“I see.” Situ Jian nodded in realization.

He didn’t ask what the treasure was, but instead said, “In that case, tell us about your plan and action time, so we can prepare in advance.”

“Alright.”

Lin You responded, not wasting words, and began to explain his plan to the two.

It was not until the afternoon.

They finally finished their discussion.

After saying their goodbyes, they each went to handle their own affairs.

Lin You also sorted out his mood, teleported back to his Territory, and began making various preparations.

From the conversation with Situ Jian, he learned that skills and equipment below Tier Nine, as well as enchantments, could not resist the negative effects of Tier Nine Species.

In other words.

The paths of skills and enchantments were cut off, and he could only rely on high-tier equipment.

“Looks like I’ll have to ask Mageon for help.”

Lin You glanced at the Holy Spirit Stone in his hand, then put it away.

To craft Tier Ten Equipment, just these two materials are not enough.

Mageon is now the Dwarf King.

He couldn’t keep having the guy fill in his material gaps, he had to collect more Tier Ten materials himself.

This is also essential for crafting strong equipment.

Just a few days ago, during the Demon riot, two Tier Ten Demons were successfully slain, the crafting materials from them should have entered the market by now.

If he has time tomorrow, he should check out the shops.

If that doesn’t work, he’ll have to ask Shifang Pavilion to keep an eye out, though he doesn’t really want to owe this favor.

Looking at it this way.

The tasks he needs to accomplish are plenty.

Seeing there was still some time before nightfall, Lin You left the Territory and headed to the Dwarf Tribe to inquire about Mageon.

He also took the opportunity to have the Dwarf Artisans help craft some Tier Nine Equipment for negative resistance.

As for the materials needed for crafting, he was not lacking.

Because during the Demon riots, he encountered many Tier Nine Curse Type Demons and collected a lot of materials.

Should be enough to craft a dozen sets.

At that time, he’ll keep one set for himself, and the rest will equip Yan Lie and Situ Jian to arm themselves and the Beastman Species, increasing their chances.

After doing all this.

It was already night.

The mentally and physically exhausted Lin You didn’t wander around anymore and returned directly to his Territory to rest.
