Chapter 300:183 Ancient Curse_2
“But this, well…”
At this point, Dean McKenzie shook his head.
He felt it should be quite tricky.
Although he seemed to have a means to contend with seven-turn now.
But after all, there’s only one means, and it’s hard to say if it will work. If he cannot play beyond them, the outcome might be grim.
Even though Dean McKenzie has some life-saving items on him, those are desperate measures, and he doesn’t want to fight to the death.
“Seems like I’ll need to find another six-turn Promotion Temple.
If I can discover one, that’s simple. I currently have a Seventh-turn Extermination Task Scroll. Once I accomplish the six-turn, I can naturally progress to seven-turn.
As long as I reach seven-turn, I can sweep the South Barbarians single-handedly without any problems!”
Of course, while Dean McKenzie stated so, he knew in his heart that finding another Level 6 Promotion Temple would be highly challenging.
On the South Barbarians’ side, Promotions Temples of level six and above are all controlled by top-tier tribes like the Giant Bear Tribe.
They basically won’t lend them out.
Carney’s situation was exceptional; he’s just an average power in this area, both in personal strength and the force behind him.
He posed no threat and could produce enough resources, so the Giant Bear Tribe loaned it to him.
Originally, Dean McKenzie could have also taken this route.
But now, this path has been virtually blocked.
Even if Dean McKenzie found other tribes, the hope of borrowing a Six-turn Promotion Temple could be dim.
And Dean McKenzie did not dare to go there easily.
After all, forces with a Level 6 Promotion Temple would at least have a Seven-Turn power.
And the South Barbarian’s forces are intertwined; if Dean McKenzie offended the Giant Bear Tribe, he would inevitably be targeted elsewhere.
It would be extremely challenging for Dean McKenzie to borrow a Level 6 Promotion Temple in the South Barbarians.
What about the Alliance side?
That’s impossible!
The Promotion Temples of the Alliance are either in the hands of the Alliance or in the hands of the Fallen Professionals.
Either the Alliance or the Fallen Professionals organization would not be an easy party to deal with.
The prospect of Dean McKenzie borrowing a Promotion Temple from them would be a thousand times more challenging than the South Barbarians. Even if he borrowed it, Dean McKenzie might not dare to use it.
“Still, I’d better try to complete the seven-turn in the South Barbarian region. After all, compared to the Alliance, the South Barbarian region is regarded as an Intermediate Danger Zone Map.
If I can’t handle the Intermediate Danger Zone Map, then don’t expect to go to the Advanced Dangerous Map.
First, I’ll try to level up.
I’ll study the situation in detail then.
Putting it plainly, I may not need to use the Promotion Temple; I can also use the Promotion Task Scroll!”
Under uncertain circumstances, Dean McKenzie did not want to confront the Giant Bear Tribe directly.
If it becomes essential to clash heads with the Giant Bear Tribe, Dean McKenzie would be willing to face it.
“It’s a pity. During my time in the Giant Bear Tribe, my ‘Land of Bone’ was only Intermediate 2-star’ and was unable to transfer the ‘Intermediate 3-star’ buildings from outside. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had this headache now. Nevermind, don’t think about it too much.”
After that, Dean McKenzie planned his next actions.
“1, First, level up, the six-turn at 120 levels is a hard baseline.
2, Since the channels in the Giant Serpent Tribe have been cut off, if I want to get resource information, I have to rely on the citizens of the Land of Bone. Therefore, the City of Bone needs to be improved as quickly as possible. This may well be a critical channel for me to acquire resources next.
3, Talent Level improvement is also essential.
At present, all my skills, except for Corpse Explosion, seem unable to break through the barriers of intermediate and advanced stages.
Although I’m confident that once I reach seven-turn, I can definitely crush my peers as if slaughtering dogs, I haven’t made the seven-turn, so I should try to improve my Talent Level as much as possible and complete Skill Sublimation as far as possible.”
4, On the side of the Giant Bull Tribe.
As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend, even more so when I
was originally a friend with the people from the Giant Bull Tribe.”
Next, if possible, I want to help Carl break through to Seven-turn.
Given his character, as long as I assist him to reach seven-turn, when facing the Giant Bear Tribe later on, he will undoubtedly lend a hand!”
After making these four conclusions, Dean McKenzie prioritized them.
The City of Bone needs time, and the talent upgrade needs materials, both of which can’t be rushed.
So the first thing to do is definitely to help Carl with his seven-turn promotion. Firstly, Carl is in his Land of Bone now, and Carl mentioned before that he should be able to complete his seven-turn promotion soon, he should be quite confident, right?
Secondly, if Carl can complete the seven-turn promotion, Dean will feel more confident when dealing with the Giant Bear Tribe.
The Giant Bear Tribe’s attention will also be more on the Giant Bull Tribe.
Would this put the Giant Bull Tribe in a disadvantageous position?
Dean doesn’t even need to set the trap, the Giant Bear Tribe has been targeting the Giant Bull Tribe for a while now.
Therefore, Dean returned to the Land of Bones again and went directly to find the members of the Giant Bull Tribe led by Carl.
Because many parts of the Land of Bones couldn’t be opened, Dean arranged for Carl and his tribe to stay in the Bone Prison.
Of course, the prison function was not activated, and he also prepared good food and wine for them.
When Dean entered, about ten people from the Giant Bull Tribe were already drunk and contented.
Dean thought about it from their perspective; if it were him entering an unfamiliar environment, especially one like a prison, he wouldn’t be able to drink like them.
Their lack of caution made Dean puzzled about the behavior of the Giant Bear Tribe.
Is it really necessary to suppress a tribe like the Giant Bull Tribe?
If you maintain a slightly better relationship with them, you can easily use them as cannon fodder.
Dean shook his head and walked over to wake Carl up, “Get up, stop sleeping!”
“Is it time to eat?”
Carl woke up in a daze, and the first thing he said was about eating.
Dean shook his head again. A tribe leader like this would bring doom to his tribe sooner or later.
“No food, do you want grass?”
Hearing this taboo sentence, Carl sobered up instantly. The people of the Giant
Bull Tribe were particularly resentful of being regarded as bulls.
“You are the one who eats grass, your whole family eats… Oh, sir! You’re finally free!”
Carl was ready to argue, but when he saw that it was Dean in front of him, he immediately beamed with joy.
“Want a drink?”
“No, how about that seven-turn promotion you were talking about?”
Dean had interacted with this Carl for several days and knew that he had to get straight to the point with this guy, or else he would confuse him.
“The seven-turn promotion? Oh, you’re talking about the seven-turn promotion?
I m already level 140, as long as I have a Seventh-turn Task Scroll, I can promote to the next level!”
“What did you say?”
Dean subconsciously raised an eyebrow and his voice rose by an octave.
Although he knew from the beginning that Carl was not reliable, he didn’t expect him to be this unreliable.
And yet Carl didn’t realize there was anything wrong with what he said, “I’m already at level 140, and as long as I have a Seventh-turn Task Scroll and complete the tasks, I can promote to the next level. I came here this time to buy a Seventh-turn Task Scroll!”
Dean felt helpless.
He didn’t know how Carl could say this so matter-of-factly.
Not to mention the rarity of the Seventh-turn Task Scroll, even if he got one,
the task would be randomly assigned.
Who knows what kind of task could pop up.
How could Carl confidently assert that he’d be able to complete the seven-turn promotion?
As Dean was stunned, Carl, scratching his head, said, “All the tribes of the South Barbarian are cursed. Each time a seven-turn promotion quest is activated, the mission will definitely be a monster siege! We are all prepared.
Just pass any task scroll, start the promotion quest, and withstand the monster siege!”
Saying that, Carl even opened his attribute panel and shared one of the attributes with Dean.
Ancient Curse: Due to possessing a special bloodline, they are cursed by the ancients. Whenever the strongest member of any tribe starts a seven-turn task, it must be changed to a monster siege.
PS: Once the Extermination Task Scroll is used, the difficulty level of the monster siege will be raised by at least one level!
Seeing this feature, Dean was stunned. There’s actually such a curse. Understanding this attribute, Dean could also understand why Yorick Meyer would give the Seventh-turn Extermination Task Scroll to Carl..
