Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start Chapter 100 - God's Ancient Tree

Chapter 100: Chapter 98: G.o.d’s Ancient Tree

Richard never thought poisonous wasps could grow on trees.

This world was also separated from Dapu.

After Richard took a deep breath, he looked at the human-faced ancient giant tree, and the tree did not notice them. It was still busy destroying the boulders under the tree trunk.

With a wave of his hand, Richard made the dark gargoyle lower its body to avoid discovery.

“Lord…”

Gray, still in the middle of Sand Transformation, immediately stepped forward and saluted after Richard landed on the ground.

Richard looked around. “How are the casualties?”

“The Sand Transformation has been activated. So, it won’t have much of an impact.”

He nodded and went straight to the point.

“What happened to the ancient human-faced giant tree? Was it the cause of the earthquake?”

The bandaged mummy shook its head.

“We just arrived, and the earth shook… The ancient human-faced giant tree only appeared after the earth’s fission.”

Richard nodded and lowered his head at the shattered earth and the yellow sand in the crevices.

It seemed something buried deep underground.But unfortunately, with such a large earthquake, everything destroyed.

This reminded him of the land of the undead that had given birth to Gray after obtaining the sacrifice coffin. The collapse of the tunnel had been particularly fierce.

“This ancient human-faced giant tree’s strength is terrifying. I can smell a fatal aura from its body…”

Gray’s soul fire burned and jumped, and his empty tone was rarely solemn.

Richard took a deep breath after looking at the seven or eight giants crazily bombarding the boulders and creating a sound as loud as an earthquake.

He opened the opponent’s stats panel.

After Richard checked the attributes, his breathing quickened.

What a terrifying existence!

Other than the giant desert dragon whose attributes were full of question marks near the one-way portal, this G.o.d’s ancient giant tree was ultimately the most powerful monster he had ever encountered.

Not only was it level 10, but it was also remarkably rare-level boss unit.

The official introduction of the “s.h.i.+ning Era” clearly stated that the number of bosses born in the wild was rare. Each of them had a battle power exceeded that of a hero of the same level.

They surpa.s.sed that of a hero of the same level, not a soldier.

The meaning behind this was self-evident.

“I initially wanted to take over the lair of those poisonous wasps and move them to the Russian olive forest to protect the desert bees, but how am I supposed to play this?”

While he looked at the terrifying size of the wasps, the giant branches that constantly waved, and the dense ma.s.s of poisonous wasps…

Richard felt his scalp go numb.

How do we fight this?

The poisonous wasps alone are enough for him.

Not to mention the resentment of the ancient human-faced giant tree itself, which has a 20% mortality trait.

Even if all his troops rushes over, they could not do anything to the boss.

“Leave first.”

Richard decisively gave the order to evacuate when he saw most of the dust had dissipated.

This boss is not something that we can deal with at this moment. The opponent is too strong…

Richard released a long sigh after he rode on the dark gargoyle and flew out of the rubble area.

“Lord, have we found the nest of the poisonous wasps?”

Gunter, who waited at the back, did not know what kind of terrifying boss was hiding inside.

Richard decided in his heart after he asked Gray to explain.

“Gunter, leave two teams of blood-colored mummies in the vicinity to monitor the ancient human-faced giant tree. We’ll deal with it when we’re stronger.”

The blood-colored mummies were soldiers recruited from corpses. Gunter could recruit three teams every day, so he wouldn’t feel bad even if all of them died.

“Yes, Lord.”

Gunter immediately arranged the two teams of blood-colored mummies around with the cooperation of the dark gargoyles.

They weren’t too close to the ancient human-faced giant tree. They just needed to determine the location of the ancient tree of resentment.

After all, the other party’s racial talent allowed them to pull out the roots and run away.

If they were to let the ancient human-faced giant tree run away, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

Richard could not solve it now, and he could not keep doing so.

“If I can plant the G.o.d’s ancient tree near the Russian olive forest… Who the f*ck would be afraid of stealing honey and the flame dragon rabbit?!”

Richard was extremely excited just thinking about that scene.

But for now, he had to go back first. He wouldn’t be able to complete this small goal for the time being.

On the way back, Richard asked Gray and Gunter to lead half of the troop and sweep the surroundings.

If they couldn’t defeat the boss, they couldn’t return empty-handed. The old fisherman would never fly the air force.

This was the final stubbornness.

The time to find prey was reduced, with the dark gargoyles as the aerial reconnaissance unit.

The troop only needed to go directly to the gathering place of the wild monsters the gargoyles found and defeated. There was no longer a need to waste a lot of time on searching.

Richard tasted the taste of riding dark gargoyles and was too lazy to walk. He directly recruited two dark gargoyles as mounts.

One sat, and the other flew below. If he fell, the other gargoyle could still catch him…

As a construct, the three-meter tall dark gargoyle was indeed powerful. Not only were its shoulders wide and thick, but its flying speed was also strong.

It was not the slightest bit unstable because it carried a person on its back.

However, its entire body was stiff. Its b.u.t.tocks would hurt after prolonged sitting.

Richard simply a.s.signed Gray and Gunter a small team of gargoyles to scout the way. He then led two small teams of gargoyles and began to scan the map.

A Rare 3-stars, level 5 dark gargoyles. It was simply a killing machine.

Other than not having a Soul Execution skill, its attack was even mightier than the Axe of the Dead.

It could tear the enemies on the ground into pieces with a dive using its sharp claws. Moreover, its powerful defense could remain intact even if it were surrounded by enemies.

Every monster encampment could be killed seven times in and seven times out.

This made Richard realize the power of the dark gargoyles once again.

Other than the expensive resources needed to recruit, there was nothing wrong with this branch of the troop.

It was already late at night when Richard returned to Twilight City.

All the troop’s branches carried a load of prey on their backs. Today, with the gargoyles that scouted the way. The prey they obtained was several times more than they had previously hunted.

The number of Elite 1-star blood-colored mummies behind Gunter had also reached four squads. None of the corpses they had hunted today had been wasted.

They had earned a lot.

They placed the prey beside the water well and let the mummies of the two squads guard it.

Richard returned to the Lord’s mansion. When he entered the house, he found that Karu was still there.

In the hall, an oil lamp made of animal fat shone a dim light.

Opposite Karu, three middle-aged men were tied up with ropes as if they committed a crime and were under interrogation.

Karu immediately stood up and bowed when he saw Richard entered the room.

“Good evening, Lord Richard…”

Richard nodded slightly and looked at those people with a frown.

“What’s going on?”

Karu said in a solemn tone, “Oasis sent these three spies. They pretended to join us this afternoon. But secretly encouraged the residents to leave their territory and join Oasis City…”

“The residents immediately reported it to us when they discovered it.”

Richard’s eyes turned cold.

“Oasis City?”

“Yes, it’s the oasis the explorer team found a few days ago… They built a city.”

Richard was shocked.

How could an Oasis City hold so many people? The hundreds of refugees were not enough to satisfy his appet.i.te. Why did they have to come to Twilight City to recruit people?

What exactly was in that desert oasis? How could it feed so many people?

Yesterday, Karu had mentioned it to him, but he did not expect the other party to appear by himself now.

When he regained his senses, he was greatly interested.

He keenly sensed that there was a vast benefit hidden in it.
