Chapter 241 - Special Offering and Transcendent Hero
Chapter 241: Special Offering and Transcendent Hero
The power that one cultivated on the Battlefield of Providence could be taken away.
Yang Zhi, as the descendant of a famous family of generals, had been through a bloody battle that involved hundreds of thousands of people and killed a lesser lord of Yuan on the battlefield.
The Battle Will he condensed at this moment was even more powerful than before.
Even though he only released some of his power, the players who were affected by the black air couldn’t help but feel they were on a battlefield!
Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop…
In the eyes of the players consumed by the black air, the black air that popped up from Yang Zhi turned into dozens of silent, bloodstained riders who had clearly just been through a brutal battle!
“Ah!”
“Fall back!”
Then, watching the black riders charging at them while holding their weapons, some of the newcomers whose minds were weak became pale and cried as they retreated in fright!
“Summoning?”
“No, it’s a mental attack.”
However, some newcomers realized the nature of the attack and gritted their teeth without running away. They slowly backed out of the range of the black air while perspiring.
“We have some good seeds!”
Wu Qiao, who had reached the peak of Rank-5 after several months on the Battlefield of Providence and who didn’t feel like a player at all, remarked in a low voice!
They were truly not bad. Those newcomers were generally only Ordinary, yet they dared to face Yang Zhi’s Battle Will.
They even quickly recognized what the Battle Will was.
It suggested that they must’ve been relatively strong in their original settlements.
Also, they must’ve been through as many atrocious battles as Li Qing and Qin Yueyu did if they had persisted in their settlements for so long before they died as battle-type players.
It was safe to say that they had potentials.
Those people didn’t back off immediately partly because they were showing themselves off.
Of course, Ji Ye asked Yang Zhi to clear the ground not just because he wanted to set up his authority in front of those special new players.
It was also because so many spoils of war were teleported back from the City of Humans that there wasn’t enough room in the Temple of Providence…
What did a thousand spoils of war mean?
They were enough to fill up the ground of the Temple of Providence even if they were heaped on each other.
“We might as well teleport some of the items to the empty ground outside!”
Therefore, Ji Ye made a decision after a moment of consideration.
After the settlement core of the fort was upgraded to Extraordinary Rank-9, its range of coverage had surpassed the Temple of Providence, so the spoils of war could be teleported to the empty ground outside!
Hum! Hum! Hum!
After Ji Ye made a decision, the five-clawed dragons, whose hands had grown to nine feet long, spewed out golden light as spoils of war continuously appeared on the empty ground, including the armor and blades of the Yuan Wolf Riders, the heavy shield and long spears of the Camel Calvary, and the offerings and Extraordinary spoils of war dropped by the Yuan kings and emperor!
“Sweet mother of god!”
“So many pieces of equipment…”
“Those armors are all Extraordinary!”
The players and natives who were observing the scene outside of the black perimeter were all dazzled by the light of the spoils of war.
Apparently, their eyes and their hearts had all been shocked!
In particular, some items even carried the silver light of “Transcendent”.
For example, there were a pair of golden hammers that several soldiers had to lift together, an ice spear that raised snowflakes the moment it appeared, and a purple spear where the power of lightning was surging nonstop…
There was also an obsolete silver computer that could occupy half a room!
“Is it possible that they robbed the stores in the City of Humans?”
Even the newcomers who managed to resist Yang Zhi’s will couldn’t hold back their shock after seeing all the items.
“Let’s keep those items in the side room of the temple for now.
“Chief Lu, please watch over the items for a few days. On the other hand, Mr. Gongsun, please set up an array in the temple!”
After the last spoil of war was teleported, Ji Ye spoke to Lu Zhishen and Gongsun Sheng when all the soldiers and players looked at him with excitement.
Under normal circumstances, nobody would be bold enough to steal those items.
However, it was possible that someone might do something stupid. After all, half of the second batch of players were elites and the other were ordinary people.
The critical items, such as the Books of Civilization, the Book of Wumu, and the Eye Painting Brush, had already been kept in his Void Ring.
However, the items like the Long Gold Hammers and the Snow Spear could only be kept outside, because they would continuously consume his energy if they were kept in the Void Ring.
Also, the ring had a limited capacity. Nothing too large or heavy could be put inside.
“It seems that we need to work on construction now!”
Looking at the walls, which still had traces of the battle from when they resisted the Soul race’s attack, Ji Ye remarked with mixed feelings.
Looking at the general layout of the Twin Dragon Mount fort, defensive fences were at the periphery, and the inner circle was where the buildings that the soldiers and civilians lived in were located.
At the very center was originally a large temple, and the Temple of Providence was the main building of this temple.
At the beginning, the fort was rather empty when it only had a hundred people.
However, counting the new players, there were more than five hundred people in the fort, who had occupied more than half of the rooms.
Also, if the abundant offerings that were acquired on the Battlefield of Providence were used, the population of the Twin Dragon Mount fort would probably surpass a thousand.
In addition, the third batch of players would probably arrive soon, so the expansion of the Twin Dragon Mount fort was necessary!
“We need a real professional architect!”
Ji Ye was more inclined to put a player in charge of that task.
There was a professional constructor on Liangshan whose name was Tao Zongwang.
His nickname was the Nine-tailed Tortoise. He ranked 75th on Liangshan and was responsible for constructions!
However, Ji Ye didn’t think that someone from ancient times could compare to professional modern designers and constructors even if they had specialties.
After all, Chidragon was famous for its infrastructure constructions on Earth, and its workers had abundant experience in that.
Although a lot of spoils of war were reaped from the battlefield, and some of them were even Extraordinary Commander-level, Ji Ye didn’t have the corresponding Commander-level “Soul of Civilization”.
Well, technically speaking, there was still a Soul of Civilization available.
The Extraordinary Rank-7 Soul of Civilization that Ji Ye got after killing the Eagle Man Boss still remained.
Also, the Twin Dragon Mount fort was rewarded with an Extraordinary Rank-6 Soul of Civilization after completing the Ten-Species Competition quest.
However, it would be rather wasteful to use such a high-level Soul of Civilization on an Excellent hero.
Ji Ye was more inclined to use the Extraordinary Rank-7 Soul of Civilization on the Special Rare offerings that the Yuan emperor and kings dropped.
It was because the one powerful thing about the special “offerings” dropped on the Battlefield of Providence was that they could summon the Transcendent heroes early!
That’s right! Transcendent heroes!
There were five “Special” Perfect offerings.
It meant that the Twin Dragon Mount fort could summon five Perfect heroes who were supposed to be “Transcendent”, which could further increase the strength of the Twin Dragon Mount fort.
Of course, it was not the time to use the five offerings yet.
That was because the twin dragons had clearly dimmed after teleporting a thousand spoils of war.
In order to summon Transcendent heroes above the current level, sufficient power of providence was a prerequisite!
After all, the special offerings that the Yuan emperor and kings dropped all contained Transcendent powers, and the Soul of Civilization that the Twin Dragon Mount fort could offer was only Extraordinary Rank-7. The settlement core had to suppress the offerings in order for the Transcendent heroes to arrive!
“The Temple of Providence will be closed for now. Nobody is to enter or exit it without the permission of Chief Su, Chief Lu, or me!” Ji Ye said to a bunch of players and natives.
His voice wasn’t too loud, but everybody heard him clearly thanks to Voice Far Away, a technique that Ji Ye learned from Reverend Yideng.
However, the temple couldn’t be closed for too long.
It was because there was half a day to go until the end of the Ten-Species Competition, and the list of the third batch of players would be announced soon.
Those real “new players” would certainly arrive at the Temple of Providence or the empty ground outside!
“I hope there can be a ‘Grandmaster’ architect this time, or a ‘Master’ one if no Grandmasters are available.”
Ji Ye actually looked forward to those newcomers.
However, Ji Ye didn’t think that it was very likely.
After all, Yang City was a third-tier city, and while it had regular architects, it probably didn’t have any grandmasters in that aspect. Even if it had, they might not be allocated to the Twin Dragon Mount fort.
But of course, maybe the rules would be different this time.
“Right, did anything happen in the fort while we were away?”
After considering construction, Ji Ye asked Yan Qing, who was holding a gourd that was filled with water.
Apparently, before they returned, Yan Qing was fetching the Sweet Dew from the peak of the Eagle Men settlement to irrigate the Thousand-Year Tree Demon and the Bloodsoul Vine Tree that Ji Ye had planted in the Soul race’s settlement before they set off!
It had been more than ten days since they were planted. Thanks to the irrigation of the Sweet Dew, which could significantly boost the growth of plants, the two strange plants must’ve sprouted and were growing well.
“I’ve failed your trust, Master. I didn’t take care of the valuable trees well!”
However, after hearing Ji Ye’s question, Yan Qing seemed rather guilty.
“Huh? What happened?”
Ji Ye was a little surprised.
Considering how careful Yan Qing was, he couldn’t have made any mistakes.
Then, what accident could have possibly happened?
“After the seed of the Thousand-Year Tree Demon sprouted, it secretly ‘ate’ the four Bloodsoul Vine Trees!”
Yan Qing’s face was filled with self-blame.
