The hiring fee for a Dullahan is 500 Demon Gold Coins per day. The fee for participating in battles is doubled, and the fee for organizing an attack is tripled. Half of the combat income is earned, and this is limited to the courtyard. The main force will retreat on their own if defeated, and will not go to the Bloody Hills.
Compared with the first two cities destroyed by Mu Hua, the Lord of Yekis was very tough. He could not destroy the other city's defense system, and Mu Hua could not do anything to him for a while.
At the same time, these monster city lords didn't care about Mu Hua's actions of destroying the city and the land. Even if Mu Hua destroyed an area of a hundred kilometers, the impact on the monsters would only be to move to a new location and establish a gathering place.
Even if humans can really capture the entire Death Canyon, the projected monsters here can descend to areas such as the Bloody Hills or the Goblin Kingdom and organize a counterattack again.
The attack on the courtyard cannot be accomplished overnight, and competing with the monsters for the courtyard's land is far from being achieved by one or two strong individuals.
Yekis even told Mu Hua the conditions for hiring his monsters. Seeing that he could not gain any advantage here, he left behind his summoned creatures that would be destroyed sooner or later, set the demon servant on fire, and left in a flash.
He summoned another dragon to continue his journey. He passed by the ruins where Zhambak was earlier. Under the cover of night, Zhambak unexpectedly found two golems waiting for him there.
About three meters in height, they looked like two poorly crafted rock sculptures. Both were of ordinary quality, golems that barely reached the mid-level monster level at most.
Descending to Zhambak's side, Mu Hua's mind moved, and two jealous tentacles entangled the golems and devoured their souls. At this time, Mu Hua displayed his deadly secrets on the golems. With just one bite, the two golems died instantly.
A stream of original sin energy penetrated into Mu Hua's body. Mu Hua glanced at Zambak. It seemed that Zambak was very jealous of Mu Hua's abilities. Seeing it trying to endure and show goodwill, Mu Hua patted it on the shoulder. In front of ghosts and gods, some thoughts were really hard to hide.
When smelting golems, the first one gave out a Gravel Bullet skill stone, which made Mu Hua feel a chill in his heart. But when the other one gave out an ochre-colored Elemental Tear, Mu Hua clenched his fists.
Primary earth element affinity is in place!
Although it is a talent, unlike other talents, elemental affinity can not only be improved by elements, but the Hundred Refining Secret Stone is also effective for them.
Unlike the affinity with water and fire elements, Mu Hua did not find the exact source of the Tears of Earth Element. But at this time, as long as he had the primary affinity with the earth element, he could use the Hundred Refinements Secret Stone to transform it into the Spirit of Earth Element (fake).
When he has the gift of the earth elemental spirit, then, Medusa, can start to work, and there must be a certain probability that Medusa and Arachne will unearth the tear of the element again.
After obtaining an Elemental Tear, Mu Hua began to like Zambak more and more. He promised not to cause trouble to it in the future. Mu Hua even said that if necessary, he would consider helping it deal with other monsters.
Of course, it was a verbal agreement between both parties. In the end, Mu Hua did not cause any more trouble for Zhambak. He rode the magic dragon away, found a secluded place in the Death Canyon, and re-marked the boundary for the courtyard key.
Death Canyon is too far from the entrance of the courtyard, and it takes several hours to cross the Goblin Kingdom to get there. In order to make it convenient to visit Death Canyon at any time in the future, Mu Hua temporarily gave up on continuing to wreak havoc on the Fraud Demon at Snow Ridge Ranch.
After opening the key portal, the next moment, Mu Hua disappeared into the night of the courtyard. When he stepped out of the portal, he was already in the bedroom on the third floor of the hotel.
After calling Deman and confirming that Taibesha had not returned and that the ghosts in the town were all normal, Mu Hua communicated with the World Tree and teleported to the Abyss Island. As expected, Taibesha and others were waiting for him in the central camp.
Because they have not received the key to the Pangarde Courtyard yet, the other members of Dandelion are temporarily stationed in the Pangarde Courtyard. Taibesha and others entered the Abyss Island at night and also brought Mu Hua the spoils of their demon hunting today.
There were a large number of imp corpses with bullet holes on their bodies. These corpses were relatively intact, and those that were too damaged were not confiscated. Among them were also a few fire dogs. The imps melted a lot of fireballs, and the fire dogs also melted a tear of fire element.
The Philosopher's Stone was taken by Mu Hua, and more than twenty intelligence crystals were left. After deducting the quotas of the logistics team members, Tabitha, Vivian, and Barbara could each get more than thirty physical crystals and seven Hundred Refined Secret Stones.
Although these products are no longer noticeable to Mu Hua, they are after all the harvest from their recent trip to the Pangard Crater. As they become more familiar with the environment and their strength grows, their efficiency will surely improve in the future.
He used physical crystals on several people, and the specific effect would only be reflected after they had a good sleep. When it came to the skill phase, Mu Hua hesitated briefly between self-healing and mental stability, and finally used the Hundred Refinements Secret Stone on self-healing.
Anyway, for now, Taibetha and the others are still in the diving stage, mainly hunting low-level monsters. As long as they don't run around, there will be no danger.
As for humans, it would be better to provoke Mu Hua directly than to deliberately cause trouble for them. Otherwise, even if it is just for the sake of face, they will probably be met with a more crazy counterattack from Mu Hua. After all, bullying the relatives of members of the Ghost and God Council may even bring revenge from multiple ghosts and gods.
As for the life-saving ability of self-healing, you can put it aside once it reaches the regeneration level. Improve the regeneration first, and then concentrate on stabilizing the mind and turning it into the Bite of Jealousy.
This ability can restrain many mysterious and deadly attacks, which are completely unreasonable. Putting other skills aside, Mu Hua regards mental stability as the top priority.
Help the three girls complete their promotion. The quota for the logistics team will be discussed after they come back. Clark and Eve are also among the candidates for promotion, but Lin Feng and Qiong are temporarily excluded by Mu Hua.
After the three girls, it was Tina's turn. Tina created a bunch of little demons for Mu Hua. Mu Hua still saved a few crystals of intelligence. Tina had already obtained the ability to regenerate, so she didn't take high temperatures for the time being. The Hundred Refinements Secret Stone was still used to stabilize her mind.
Tina can be said to be eating herself. Ikaros's task is to stay in the town and act as a messenger of God, and she needs to eat Mu Hua. The same formula is used to confuse Ikaros. The two women rested and gained insights, while Mu Hua was teleported to the edge of the abyss.
Jumping back and forth between space and dimensions, Mu Hua went to sort out the harvest from Monday at the edge of the abyss. On Tuesday, he had learned the art of shapeshifting with Tamara for a whole day, but she probably hadn't learned it yet. When Mu Hua arrived, she was catching a two-winged angel and torturing her to vent her anger.
Ignoring the angel, Mu Hua had even melted a four-winged angel recently. However, he didn't know if it was because the performance of the divine arts was mixed with elements of fantasy, these angels usually only gave Mu Hua some conventional magic skills.
If the angels had not produced a considerable amount of Hundred Refined Secret Stones, Mu Hua would have wanted to use them as materials for creating corpse demons.
After killing and collecting the abyss monsters, Mu Hua stopped Tuesday from continuing to act crazy and asked her to go a little deeper into the island to clear out an area to place magic traps.
As his overall strength increases, Mu Hua is also ready to take action against some abyss monsters that he originally dared not provoke. He first creates a trap area and allows the magic trap to strengthen itself. If he catches any tricky monsters, he can also lure them into the trap area.
After finishing these trivial daily tasks, Mu Hua started to work on himself again. Putting aside the primary earth element affinity for the time being, Mu Hua started to improve the tree herding rhythm first. After all, his only few remaining golden apple saplings would not live long.
The rhythm of tree herding is different from the overdraft catalysis of vine technique. It is a natural secret technique for taming plants and helping them grow and reproduce.
Compared to elemental affinity, improving this skill made Mu Hua more dizzy, and Mu Hua also reached the stage of planning a life transition. He had the alchemy record of the transition potion, but the golden apple needed in the transition potion was difficult to obtain.
There is no regular pattern to the birth of the golden apple, because the beings that need the warp potion are generally very powerful, so this mythical fruit is not easy to exchange even with the philosopher's stone.
Almost all of the golden apple saplings that Mu Hua had obtained from the demon merchant earlier did not survive. As the level of his tree-herding rhythm increased, the surrounding plants and trees seemed to be sending him some vague information in addition to the breath of life.
An energy field that Mu Hua had never felt before became increasingly clear in his perception.
Harmony? A harmony between magic and elements. A huge amount of information filled Mu Hua's mind, including proportion, type, strength, purity. In Mu Hua's cognition, a kind of harmonized energy suitable for plants to absorb emerged.
Delicate and exquisite, within the range of the energy field, the plants seemed to have souls and consciousness. With the increase of the level of tree-herding rhythm, Mu Hua also found that he could clearly sense the communication with the plants. This communication could let him know what these plants wanted.
If you understand this, at least you won't kill the golden apple tree, right? (End of this chapter)
