Chapter 74 - Settlement Advancement Test
Chapter 74: Settlement Advancement Test
In the core shrine of Twin Dragon Mount, Ji Ye placed the dark green Soul Settlement Core at the altar.
Hum!
The bright yellow power of providence floated as two dragons representing Twin Dragon Mount appeared to watch him closely.
To be precise, they were looking at the Soul Settlement Core!
[Confirm Fusion of the Settlement Core?]
“Yes!”
The two yellowish dragons immediately surrounded the green Soul core like two dragons fighting over pearls.
This time, Ji Ye could see the form of the “twin dragons” up close. They were five-clawed yellow dragons that the people of Chidragon had a sense of reverence.
However, their smaller size seemed to indicate their infancy stage. This also meant that the strength of the Twin Dragon Mount’s settlement was still very small.
However, although they were still in their infancy, the two five-clawed dragons did not fear the Soul race’s settlement core. Like twin dragons playing with pearls, they instantly surrounded it and sucked out the green gas in it, fusing it into their bodies!
Hum!
The Soul’s core emitted a faint fluctuation as though it wanted to resist.
However, without the blessing of its species, it could only allow the two yellow five-clawed baby dragons to devour it!
[Fusion Time: Three days.]
[The core level of this settlement has reached a sufficient level. After the fusion is completed, it is estimated that the settlement will advance to Extraordinary Rank-2. An advancement test will occur. Be prepared!]
A test?
…
Three days was like a Friday to Sunday for most people on Earth. Time often passed in a blink of an eye.
For the settlement of Twin Dragon Mount in the Land of Inheritance, this was the most important period of time.
During these three days, Twin Dragon Mount did not wage new wars with the other alien species.
Although Ji Ye and company had killed eight Sludges, the other party did not attack the fort. Clearly, in a situation where the enemy’s situation was unknown, creatures with intelligence above the Souls chose to be cautious.
For Twin Dragon Mount, there was naturally no need to deliberately cause trouble.
This was because three days was far from enough to digest the harvest from defeating the Souls.
The biggest harvest of this battle was undoubtedly the Soul of Civilization.
The Soul race’s level was somewhat special. It seemed that its initial level was not high—only Rank-1. But due to the existence of the Soul Fluid, they improved at a very rapid pace.
Therefore, they killed more than a hundred Souls and eight Sludges this time. Just the number of Souls of Civilization above Rank-7 exceeded 15. There were also five Rank-8 and Rank-9 ones.
It was a pity that the Extraordinary Elite Soul he killed was likely a “beta player” of the Soul race.
Therefore, the Soul of Civilization did not drop. Instead, he provided the Extraordinary Rank-2 Stone of Civilization and a few pieces of “equipment” that should have been dropped after the other party killed monsters.
However, compared to the equipment on Ji Ye, the other party’s equipment was obviously much inferior.
The only thing he was interested in was an Extraordinary Rank-2 Soul Jade that could unleash a green barrier.
As for the other equipment and items, apart from having “offerings” in their attributes, many of them were exclusive to the Soul race. They did not mean much to humans.
However, the advantage was that the equipment and items left behind by the Souls, including the refined beast bones left behind in the battle, could be absorbed by the settlement core. The power of providence that was converted was used as rewards to the relevant personnel!
Therefore, it could be said that after this battle, all the participants in Twin Dragon Mount, including those in the shrine, had accumulated a certain amount of Honor.
After all, the victory of a battle could not be credited to only the warriors. The logistics also played a huge role.
Putting everything else aside, just the treatment of the injured people after the battle depended on these people.
During this process, Ji Ye also discovered another benefit of getting Ninth Uncle.
Originally, because many people had not been taken to Twin Dragon Mount, the fort severely lacked medical personnel.
Shang Yan, who was the only official doctor, happened to be a modern doctor. She was heavily reliant on drugs and equipment, let alone when it involved psychiatry.
At least, before she completed her one-month stay in the Land of Inheritance and could log off to search for information, she could not fully fulfill her duty as a doctor.
Therefore, the large number of casualties was originally problematic.
However, Ninth Uncle had shown extraordinary medical skills. Not only could he treat the special injuries caused by the Souls, but he could also treat injuries like dislocated arms and internal organs ruptures.
It had to be said that the ancient saying of “Daoism and Medicine were one and the same” had a basis. And Ninth Uncle was indeed worthy of being an Superior hero.
Three days later.
The entire Twin Dragon Mount was prepared to deal with the “advancement test”!
…
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”
When the green Soul core was almost completely absorbed by the two five-clawed young dragons that had grown bigger, it left behind only a small “marble” like core,
Outside Twin Dragon Mount, the cries of powerful creatures suddenly sounded, spreading throughout the entire fort.
“The advancement test is here!”
Ji Ye held the bronze crossbow in his left hand and the white Black Serpent Sword in his right. He stood on the yellow shrine and, with a vision that was comparable to a Golden Condor’s, he saw the creatures that roared!
Four monsters appeared around the settlement, going from ethereal to corporeal.
To the south appeared a two-meter-tall humanoid creature covered in thick black fur. It had four fangs in its basin-sized mouth and a pair of tree trunk arms.
To the west appeared a gray wolf with iron-like fur, pointed ears, and blood-red eyes that carried the aura of a king!
To the north, a gigantic yellow jade scorpion was slowly condensing. The translucent tail on its back made people feel extreme danger!
“I see. Then to the east, it should be…”
Ji Ye turned to look east.
Under the sunlight that had just risen into the sky, an ink-jade Black Serpent that was more than ten meters long coiled at the village’s water source. It was flicking its snake tongue and looking at the Black Serpent Sword in its hand with a venomous and resentful light!
“From the looks of it, Big Bear doesn’t have a high ranking!”
Ji Ye sighed as he spoke in a relaxed tone.
“Are these monsters attacking according to the rules of the game?”
“However, it doesn’t seem to be a monster siege. After all, there are only four monsters!”
When the four monsters took form, Ji Ye also understood their origins. In fact, they were all transformed from the power of providence of other species. Using the resentment of these Extraordinary creatures that were killed by humans during their advancement as a catalyst, they took form and attacked the human settlement which was advancing!
Furthermore, the information in his mind told Ji Ye.
If he could finish these creatures in a certain amount of time, then, the participants and the settlement would receive a special “reward”!
