Chapter 2053 - 2046: All Kinds of Treasures Beyond Your Imagination
After this mission ended, Yan Huang City entered a long period of steady development.
Almost all Humans already knew of this city’s existence. Not only was the safety factor here extremely high, but aside from cultivating, everyone basically didn’t need to worry about anything, and Zhang Menglong didn’t charge any overnight fees at all.
He spent a huge sum of money to expand Yan Huang City until its area was hundreds of times larger than before. His goal was very simple: to unite all Humans together and have everyone pour all their energy into the upcoming Myriad Tribes Conquest.
Everyone had already heard of Yan Huang City’s existence, and even the City Lords of Azure Dragon and the Great City of Aiville had personally visited this survival base.
At first, they had nothing but contempt for a place like Yan Huang City. For all Humans, there was only one place worthy of being called a "City," and that was their Great City of Aiville. Any other so-called city, even if it existed, was nothing but an empty title.
After all, a name is just a code. There were plenty of rundown survival bases calling themselves "City of Hope" or whatever!
But when the first batch of curious people visited Yan Huang City, they realized they were dead wrong—so wrong it was outrageous!
This Yan Huang City was a city in the truest sense of the word!
After the expansion, its occupied area was even greater than Aiville City, and as for defensive measures and basic infrastructure, Aiville City couldn’t even begin to compare.
To say nothing of anything else, just those hundreds of Main City Crystals alone were enough to give people an immense sense of security, not to mention the powerful cannons and the Insect Clan Warcraft army serving as the first line of defense—Yan Huang City could practically be called an impregnable fortress.
After that, countless people came here by reputation, even abandoning their own survival bases. Those broken-down places—whoever wanted to live there could go do it! Even those wandering Martial Artists from Aiville City moved over. In just a single year, Yan Huang City’s population shot up from over two thousand to tens of millions, a ten-thousand-fold explosion in numbers!
Although it cost a lot, the number of Supreme Crystals in Zhang Menglong’s hands was only more than before, not less!
During this year, he practically lived in the wilderness zones, followed by those inhuman race-massacres. In the regions he passed through, almost no Warcraft survived. Within the Human Race’s territory, by the first half of the year, you could hardly find any clustered Warcraft, and these Warcraft brought Zhang Menglong Supreme Crystals numbered in the hundreds of trillions.
Fortunately, Zhang Menglong at least left a dedicated hunting zone; otherwise, the other Humans wouldn’t even have any place left to hunt.
In the latter half of the year, he set his sights directly on the surrounding other races and launched bloody slaughter on their territories.
The few races surrounding the Human Race generally had decent relations with Humans, and everyone would often freely travel across each other’s lands.
At first, Zhang Menglong’s entry didn’t catch the attention of the other races, but after the first month, the Sako Tribe discovered something terrifying: they could hardly find any Warcraft in the wilderness!
Some people even roamed the wastelands for two or three days and didn’t even see a single pile of Warcraft poop!
It felt as if all the Warcraft in those racial territories had vanished overnight!
It sounded like a good thing, but in reality, for the Sako Tribe, this was practically a catastrophic blow!
Yes, everyone’s living environment had indeed become much safer, but that also meant they no longer had prey to hunt. If they wanted to find large numbers of Warcraft, they even had to go search in neighboring races’ territories, which made their capital accumulation speed absurdly slow.
Later they discovered that it was a Human who had run into their race’s territory and started frantically hunting Warcraft. This person wasn’t actually that strong—only at the Peak of Dao Realm. Such strength in any race was just a drop in the bucket. But this Human was ridiculously powerful: whether King Level or Emperor Level Warcraft, in his hands there was no difference.
Unless it was some extremely powerful Warcraft, which he would proactively avoid, the remaining Warcraft almost couldn’t escape his clutches. Just like that, he slaughtered across their lands for a full month, practically turning the Sako Tribe’s territory into a pure land!
Only after the City Lord of the Sako Tribe’s Main City formally negotiated with Po Jun, the City Lord of Aiville Main City, did Zhang Menglong finally halt his race-extermination plan.
Eh, there were so many races. Once the Warcraft on one race’s territory were almost wiped out, he could just switch to another race!
Of course, Zhang Menglong’s actions afterward became a bit more measured. When you’re eating meat yourself, you always have to leave others at least some soup. Every time he entered a race, he would go on a killing spree there for one or two weeks, then calmly leave and switch to the next map to farm monsters.
Even Zhang Menglong himself didn’t know how many Warcraft he’d already killed, but in his spatial storage device, both Supreme Coins and Supreme Crystals were just numbers. As for that mountain-like pile of other resources, Zhang Menglong later couldn’t even be bothered to pick them up.
Of course, during this process, Zhang Menglong also collected many treasures similar to Ant Royal Jelly, and his strength finally stabilized at around ten times the Peak of Dao Realm. Yet for him to push his body to its limit, he’d need to accumulate ten thousand times what he currently had—this was practically an impossible mission.
And under the endless feeding of resources, Jin Kela had already advanced to Emperor Level. Its body could grow from the size of a fist to hundreds of meters in length, and the number of Insect Clan leaders it could control was quite astonishing. Over these past few years, its Insect Clan legion had grown to an unbelievable level!
For the sake of the entire Insect Clan legion’s strength, Zhang Menglong no longer let Jin Kela recruit ordinary small fry. Those leaders were at least Emperor Level Warcraft, and any Insect Clan that wanted to join this Warcraft army had to be at least King Level!
Given such a massive base, even with such harsh conditions, the Insect Clan legion still exceeded a trillion in size.
Although the entire Human Race looked about the same as before on the surface, its latent power was countless times stronger than in the past.
Finally, time came to the eve of the Myriad Tribes Conquest. Ying Zheng told Zhang Menglong that once the conquest began, a voice from this world would inform them of the format and rules of this competition. All they needed to do was wait patiently.
"But before that, there’s a very special event. The rules of this world will give every race a chance to become stronger. The Main City of every civilization will face five waves of Warcraft attacks. During this period, the drop rate of any items from these Warcraft will be several times higher than usual, and some items that normally never appear will show up on them!"
"Oh? The rules of this world are pretty humane!" Zhang Menglong wasn’t very interested in the increased drop rate. After all, with his mastery of Management Studies, his drop rate was already one hundred percent.
But the fact that some items that normally wouldn’t drop could now drop—that made Zhang Menglong very interested!
"What kind of things can drop?" Zhang Menglong asked curiously.
"All kinds of goodies beyond your imagination!"
