Building a Perfect Territory in the Mist

Chapter 26: Chapter 24: Sacrificial Evolution, Let Me See Your Limits

Xia Wanyin mulled it over for a moment before continuing toward the riverbank.

...

...

Shen Xing sat in his wheelchair, directing his troops while opening his phone to log into the forums and look up information on the Dark Naga.

He hadn’t completely believed what Xia Wanyin said. He had simply been weaker than her at the time, so he tried his best to avoid a conflict.

His search revealed that she had been telling the truth—the Dark Naga were indeed a very vengeful race.

Shen Xing was a little surprised. ’I can’t believe she’s actually a good person.’

’She seems to be like me, new to this game, but she’s very strong.’

’And... a Soldier Type like the Light Elf isn’t something an ordinary player can get. It’s not a starting Soldier Type. You only have a small chance of obtaining them in specific elemental regions.’

’It seems there’s more to this Xia Wanyin than meets the eye.’

’But... are the locations of those two resource points she mentioned real?’

Harboring some doubt, Shen Xing headed toward the target location.

When he arrived at a set of ruins covered in dust, he was stunned once again.

Before him stood a white tower, about four meters tall, that looked as if it were made of marble.

[Dusk Sacrificial Tower (Extinguished)]

[Effect: Can be touched with the Horse Lantern to reignite it. Will periodically produce ’Dusk Fire’ for your territory.]

[Efficiency: 1 Dusk Fire per 1.5 hours]

...

’There really is a Dusk Sacrificial Tower here. How did she find it?’ Shen Xing was even more astonished.

He walked up with his Horse Lantern and lit it.

At the base of the tower, in an area resembling a shrine, a white flame slowly flickered to life.

Another green dot appeared on his minimap, representing that the [Dusk Sacrificial Tower] had become one of his resource points.

At a rate of one [Dusk Fire] every 1.5 hours, that was equivalent to a daily output of 16, which was quite good.

Shen Xing was both surprised and delighted. He followed the woman’s directions, continuing several hundred meters to the rear right.

On the desolate plains, an obsidian-like [Black Crystal Tower] stood silently.

Seeing this structure, Shen Xing’s surprise grew even greater.

As mentioned before, exploring in the Fog was extremely difficult.

For example, if you were placed on an open plain, you could see everything around you at a glance.

But in the Fog, you would need to spend several, or even dozens, of times longer to explore, and you still might not be able to search every corner.

’This Xia Wanyin... is hiding a huge secret!’

However, Shen Xing quickly came to terms with it.

After all, he himself had a heaven-defying Talent like [Sacrificial Evolution], so it was only normal for other players to have their own opportunities.

Besides, from the looks of it, Xia Wanyin held no ill will toward him.

After lighting the [Black Crystal Tower], Shen Xing returned to his territory and took stock of his supplies.

He also distributed the Soul Stones to raise all the Beastmen to Level 5.

Since the [Horse Lantern]’s exploration time for the day was used up and the Campfire was still upgrading, there wasn’t much to do for the time being.

Shen Xing logged off early to discuss in-game matters with Qin Lang and the others, and also crammed on all sorts of knowledge from the forums.

The next day was also the fourth day since he had entered the game.

[Your territory building: Campfire has been successfully upgraded to Level 3!]

Shen Xing opened his eyes and immediately saw that the Campfire before him had undergone a massive change.

What was once a small fire pit had transformed into a Large Campfire, one or two meters in diameter.

The roaring flames illuminated an area dozens of meters around, greatly increasing his range of activity.

’Excellent. The illumination range of a Level 3 Campfire has surged from a 50-meter diameter to 80 meters, expanding the territory’s Area several times over.’

In addition, the cooldown for Shen Xing’s Talent Ability, [Sacrificial Evolution], had finished, and he could use it again.

He was definitely planning to have Hellish Roar continue to evolve.

After all, this Beastman was already an Elite★★★ powerhouse. If it advanced again, it would become a Boss★.

Just like the jump from Normal to Elite, the advancement from Elite to Boss was also a significant qualitative leap.

’In that case... I’ll just keep strengthening Hellish Roar.’

’Sacrificial Evolution, let me see your limits!’

With a thought, Shen Xing activated his Talent Ability on the nearby Beastman Fighter once more.
