Chapter 29

Information! A Different Cerulean Planet Lord Announcement!

In the living room of the Lord’s wooden house.

“My Lord, we found the nest of the Black-Tailed Fog Scorpion. There are about 400 of them!”

“They’re about 25 kilometers southwest of Blazing Sun City. Furthermore, we discovered that there was a Green Bronze-Tier Advance Grade leader among them. It is also a Scarlet Lord!” Bai Yi, who had just returned, reported.

It is really a Scarlet Lord!?

Zhou Zhou’s expression also became serious, however, he was not afraid.

It was just a Green Bronze-Tier Grade Scarlet Lord, not even strong enough to face off with his Green Bronze-Tier Advance Grade Lava Dragon, Nezario.

Pure-blooded dragons were the overlord race of the myriad worlds!

With Nezario’s current abilities, it might even have a high chance of killing even a White Silver-Tier Scarlet Lord.

“Are you guys in some kind of trouble?” Zhou Zhou asked.

“No, we can detect monsters hiding in our surroundings in advance with the Blood Eye Potion. The mechanostriders given to us by my Lord allows us to use high movement speed to avoid them. None of them could catch up to us.” Bai Yi replied excitedly.

The experience of using the Mechanostrider and Blood Eye combination was extremely good.

This was the first time she had experienced such a strange feeling.

Zhou Zhou nodded, feeling a little strange.

He did not expect the effect of the Blood Eye to be so useful.

“What do you think our chances are if we go up against them?” Zhou Zhou asked.

“The Black-Tailed Fog Scorpion’s greatest threat lies in its poison and its ability to ambush. But we don’t have to worry about sneak attacks with the Blood Eye Potion and we have the antidote. As long as we can resolve these two threats, I think we have an 80% chance of winning!”

“If we have a way to deal with the Green Bronze-Tier Advance Grade Black-Tailed Fog Scorpion leader, I think we have a 100% chance of winning!” Bai Yi said after thinking seriously. She was loyal and would not lie to him.

Therefore, Zhou Zhou did not hesitate to make a decision upon hearing that.

“Get ready then! Tomorrow, we’ll deal with these Black-Tailed Fog Scorpions and their Scarlet Lords.”

“Understood!” Bai Yi said respectfully.

“One more thing. I’ve already used the newly obtained Sword Shield Soldier Recruitment Books to recruit another 36 Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Sword Shield Soldiers.”

“They’re at the residences now. Bring them along when you are going back.” Zhou Zhou said.

They killed a total of 212 Desert Fog Lizards during the battle with the Desert Fog Lizard leader during the day.

Among them were 178 Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Desert Fog Lizards, 27 Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade Desert Fog Lizards, six Elite Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade Desert Fog Lizard, and one Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Desert Fog Lizard Leader!

Other than the loot mentioned before, he also gained:

512 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores, 16 Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores, 5,240 units of flesh (Black Iron-Tier Elementary, Intermediate and Advance Grade)! 100 units of Green Bronze-Tier Elementary Grade, 37 kg of water bag, 222 Gradeless Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificates, 36 Sword Shield Soldier Recruitment Books which had all become 36 new Sword Shield Soldiers and six Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade Sand Stealth Techniques!

In addition, this battle cost him 12 soldiers.

However, it also gave him 40 more Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade Soldiers and 122 Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade professionals! His strength could be said to have increased instead of decreasing!

“Yes, my Lord.” Bai Yi nodded before leaving.

…

At night, the scarlet fog quietly descended.

The world was covered in a strange scarlet fog, invoking fear.

Zhou Zhou stood inside the protective shield and looked at the quiet Scarlet Fog outside of the Novice Lord’s Protective Barrier. For a moment, he was not used to it.

“There really won’t be any new fog monsters. Never mind, so be it. It’ll give the soldiers a good night’s sleep. It won’t be good for them to fight monsters all day and night.”

“I have a Monster Ranch anyway so I won’t lose much even if no new fog monsters are born at night.” Zhou Zhou thought.

He looked in the direction of the Monster Ranch outside of the protection barrier and hesitated for a long time. In the end, he returned to the Lord’s wooden house and brought Nezario along.

“It’s cold.”

Zhou Zhou felt a bone-chilling cold as the scarlet fog surrounded his body. It seemed to have a consciousness as it tried to burrow into Zhou Zhou’s body.

With a thought, the energy in his body immediately circulated and the bone-chilling cold gradually disappeared.

Zhou Zhou entered through the gates of the Monster Ranch and soon saw Mu Gu.

Mu Gu also noticed Zhou Zhou

“Greetings, my Lord.” Mu Gu was a little surprised.

After some hesitation, he said. “My Lord. Forgive me for being rude. The scarlet fog is extremely strange, and it will reach its peak at night. It’s better for you to tread carefully at this time.”

“It’s okay. Didn’t I bring it out with me?” Zhou Zhou pointed at the curious baby, Nezario, which was looking around.

The tension in Mu Gu’s face eased when he saw the baby dragon. “I overstepped my boundary.”

Zhou Zhou did not blame him, instead, he looked at the small fence beside him.

This small fence was only about 20 square meters, and there was an Elite Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade Desert Fog Lizard lying inside.

It was the one that Bai Yi and the others had captured earlier in the day.

They also caught a Black-Tailed Fog Scorpion that was at the Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade.

However, since there was no second monster ranch, its limbs and tail were temporarily cut off and tied up.

“How does the Monster Ranch work?” Zhou Zhou retracted his gaze and asked curiously.

“My Lord, why don’t you wait for a while? You’ll know when the time comes.” Mu Gu smiled.

Zhou Zhou nodded.

A moment later, the bored Zhou Zhou suddenly saw a scarlet fog descend from the sky and charge straight into the body of the elite Desert Fog Lizard.

The Elite Desert Fog Lizard’s body trembled, then a scarlet light shot out of its lower body. In the blink of an eye, that light landed in the large fence and turned into a Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Desert Fog Lizard. It looked around blankly and then got up.

Soon, it saw Zhou Zhou and Mu Gu. The Desert Fog Lizard immediately roared and rushed towards them aggressively.

Zhou Zhou was just about to control it with mental control when Mu Gu rushed over at an extremely fast speed and reached out to touch its head.

The Desert Fog Lizard became still.

Zhou Zhou had Elementary Grade Mental Potential, therefore, when Mu Gu touched his head, he could sense that this subordinate seemed to have released a Mental Perception that had the ability to pacify.

“Is this the unique ability of a monster rancher?” Zhou Zhou clicked his tongue in wonder.

In the next hour, More than 100 Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Desert Fog Lizards were nurtured.

However, they were all ordinary Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Desert Fog Lizards.

“At this rate of birth… the Monster Ranch can produce at least 1,000 Desert Fog Lizards a night. Can this hold?” Zhou Zhou asked.

“It really can’t. Therefore, I will let them fight among themselves and devour each other.”

“This way, not only can we reduce their numbers, but we can also use this method to give birth to Elite-Tier, Leader-Tier, and even Lord-Tier Fog Monsters! However, there won’t be any Scarlet Lords amongst them. The Lord-Tier monster that would only have the strength of a Lord, but doesn’t have the rank of a Scarlet Lord.” Mu Gu said.

Zhou Zhou nodded in realization.

So this is how high-level monsters were born.

“Why can’t a Scarlet Lord be born?” He asked.

“Because my Lord’s Monster Ranch originates from the Lord’s talent and is protected by the Supreme Will. The Supreme Will will not allow the Scarlet Lord to invade this place. Naturally, there’s no way for the Lord of Scarlet to be born here.” Mu Gu said.

Zhou Zhou felt that it was a pity he could not artificially create the Scarlet Lord.

After that, he returned to Blazing Sun City with Nezario.

The next day, Zhou Zhou woke up in a daze.

When he opened his eyes, he found Nezario licking his face.

“Go, go, go…” Zhou Zhou stuffed a mouthful of Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores into its mouth and sent it away.

He wanted to go back to sleep, but lazed around in bed when he realized that he couldn’t fall back into slumber.

Instead, he lay on the bed and turned on the world channel, wanting to dive for a while.

Then, Zhou Zhou saw a large number of Lords’ comments appear on the World Channel.

At the top of the world channel, there was a blood-red announcement that he had never seen before.

[Cerulean Planet’s Lord Announcement: There are only three days left until the Novice Lord Test. All Lords, please work hard to develop in the remaining three days. Otherwise, you will be eliminated by the fog monsters!]

[Prompt: In this Novice Lord test, the Lords who pass the test will receive a reward!]

[The better the performance of the Lord, the richer the rewards!]

[The Lord who performs the best will receive the highest reward personally given by the Supreme Will!]

[Please work hard to develop and seize this opportunity!]

[Countdown: 95 hours: 32 minutes: 46 seconds]

…

Zhou Zhou raised his eyebrows.
