Chapter 555 - 555: Changes In The Death Swamp
There were still residuals left in the guild’s account that hadn’t been withdrawn.
Despite expectations, Timo’s report still caused a change in Su Wan’s mood. The layout and investment had begun when the territory was still very weak, and it had required a great deal of effort, manpower, and resources.
This was something outsiders couldn’t understand.
After so long, brilliant results were finally achieved.
Earning over a hundred million per month had become possible.
The efforts had yielded the best returns, and the various industries in the territory had finally entered progress.
The monthly output of these industries was enough to make the territory incredibly wealthy.
As Timo left, Xu Yuan and Su Wan continued to discuss the upcoming situation.
However, Su Wan snapped back to reality because of a sudden sound.
[The Death Swamp has devoured enough flesh and soul energy. It has leveled up from Level 4 to Level 5. Its range has expanded by 20 kilometers. The current range is 60 kilometers in diameter.]
[The maximum limit of nest structures for unit types increased to 50-70 nests.]
The hero of the Death Swamp, Atrox, had ascended, with all his skills being upgraded.
After so much planning, and even massacring numerous armies of the Lord of Decay and the Knight of the Gods, he had finally ascended.
The foundation of the territory had grown by leaps and bounds!
What’s even more important was that the units within didn’t require resources to recruit!
As long as there was enough flesh, a continuous stream of extraordinary units could be born!
With this feature, the swamp had become one of the most powerful assets in hand!
The weapon that had been nurtured for so long had finally taken lethal shape!
Unable to contain their emotions, Su Wan and Xu Yuan immediately got up and went to the Death Swamp.
After passing through the portal of the Eternal Land, they stepped into the area shrouded in blood mist. They felt a sense of exhilaration in their hearts.
The surrounding blood mist began to surge, and the bloody purgatory welcomed its master.
The Death Swamp’s blood mist was noticeably denser, and the power within it was even more terrifying.
Even top-tier units would be obstructed, and their perceptions blocked when they entered this wicked land.
With a diameter of 60 kilometers, the Death Swamp was large enough to accommodate several cities with millions of inhabitants.
Even on flat ground, an ordinary person would need to walk for hours to cross it.
The God of Lies and Deception had lost his authority. He could no longer use his deceitful divine power to conceal the Dark Withered Tree at the center of the Death Swamp.
The Dark Withered Tree that bore golden fruits was now exposed to all armies.
But it hadn’t affected the Death Swamp’s hunting because the Lion of Greed was still there to assist.
Its combat strength was unremarkable, but it was deadlier than other combat-type superhumans.
Greed was the greatest enemy of every being. The Lion of Greed intensified the greed.
Those that had tasted the sweetness of golden fruits became insane in their heightened desires.
The Dark Withered Tree was already showing off its exceptional nature.
Any being that approached the Dark Withered Tree in an attempt to seize the golden fruits ended up dead.
As soon as they stepped within its hundred-meter radius, it was as if they had fallen into the river of time. They aged rapidly and dropped dead.
No one could approach the Dark Withered Tree.
Even the ranged units who attacked with their bows and arrows were dumbfounded when they realized that their weapons melted away.
The aura emitted by the Dark Withered Tree shook one’s soul.
Xu Yuan was considering how to leverage the advantages of the Death Swamp to rapidly expand the territory.
Though the Death Swamp was harsh, it was still a valuable land.
He planned to transform the Death Swamp into a training base for his army to produce superhuman units to strengthen his forces.
This way, he could hold a more advantageous position in territorial disputes with other Lords.
He started thinking about how to use the resources of the Death Swamp to expand his army.
Finally, he decided to set up some watchtowers and defense structures in the surrounding areas to protect the Death Swamp.
At the same time, he intended to recruit more adventurers and warriors to enhance its strength.
While the Death Swamp was indeed full of dangers and challenges, for Xu
Yuan, it was just a part of what he aimed to conquer.
As long as resources and strategies were used wisely, one could establish their own kingdom in this wicked land.
Sensing the surrounding blood mist and the terrifying power, an endless desire surged within him.
He was determined to become a true sovereign so that he could control everything within.
Looking at the distant enormous Dark Withered Tree, an inexplicable yearning arose in his heart. Only by truly mastering this ancient tree could he reach the pinnacle of his power and potential.
Xu Yuan was determined to go all out. He would transform the Death Swamp into an invincible fortress.
Through continuous effort and battles, he could achieve this goal.
This was a world full of challenges and opportunities, where only the strong could survive.
Xu Yuan swore to make Su Wan the most powerful Lord who ruled the Death Swamp. He would help her build her kingdom.
And in the end, Xu Yuan would also become a god!
After the evil presence devoured the heart of the Blood Shadow Demon, no one could predict what changes would occur.
They weren’t true gods. They lacked the power of authority and could only rely on their own divine power to survive.
Therefore, despite losing a vast portion of their power, the extremely malevolent beings were not defeated.
However, due to being restrained by the rules, their power was partially suppressed. It was no longer as destructive as before.
But even so, they were still more powerful than gods who had completely lost their authority.
No one knew this information. Otherwise, they might have gone into a frenzy. Just as Xu Yuan looked at the tree, a golden fruit fell from the branch.
The fruit arched through the sky and landed outside the zone of death.
Greedy being fought for it madly.
It lasted nearly an hour, with piles of corpses accumulating in the swamp. The bodies were devoured by the Death Swamp.
In the end, the formidable forces managed to snatch the golden fruit.
When they consumed the golden fruit, the surrounding mist faded. Most people saw the leader of the area.
The entire process was exposed before everyone’s eyes.
The golden fruit’s power erupted.
The surrounding army became even more fervent. They constantly fought for power.
Just as Xu Yuan and Su Wan looked at the scene with great interest, the God of Lies and Deception approached them. He was dressed in a black cloak.
This god saluted them. He behaved no differently than the other netizens in their territory..
