Chapter 46 The Germinal Organization Strikes Thorn Town

Indeed, after only three days, Thorn Town was easily taken.

Black took back the door of light of the First Realm mystic realm of Thorn Forest and placed it beside the Giant Rock Cave.

In the future, the Germinal Organization would have two First Realm mystic realms.

Lin Xuan entered and took a look. After learning the items dropped in Thorn Forest, he realized why the Germinal Organization had not taken action to snatch the door of light earlier.

This was because Thorn Forest was too trashy.

Unlike the Giant Rock Cave, Thorn Forest would not drop items that directly increased all four attributes. Instead, the items dropped would only increase two attributes: the Thorn Fruit, which increased one’s energy recovery speed by 0.1%, and the Magic Power Flower, which increased one’s upper limit of magic power by 1%.

In comparison, the loot in the Giant Rock Cave was simply much better. This was because although the Giant Rock Cave was only at the Zero Realm, it could directly drop attribute items like the Black Scaled Snake Gall and the Barbaric Bull Horn that could directly increase one’s attributes!

Now, the Germinal Organization had chosen to take back the door of light of Thorn Forest only because they wanted to increase their strength.

After all, although Thorn Forest had few attribute items, there were still many skills, equipment, and so on that were unavailable in the Giant Rock Cave.

Lin Xuan also saw that the Long Taojia who had answered many of his questions previously was also among the crowd and had also arrived at the Germinal Organization.

This young man was covered in dirt and was in a sorry state.

“Ordinary people can only choose to join the Germinal Organization in the end.” Lin Xuan sighed.

Although the Germinal Organization’s hierarchy was strict and they treated the wasteland reclaimers like slaves, to those weaklings, they had no other choice other than to join the Germinal Organization.

The wilderness was a place where experts could come and go as they pleased.

Lin Xuan did not reveal his emotions and continued his duties as an ordinary wasteland reclaimer.

On the surface, he was still a Second Realm martial artist who did not use the experienced advancement materials and only used four ordinary advancement materials to advance.

He acted cautiously and conscientiously in the Second Realm mystic realm. He would complete the mission every time, and would not over-deliver.

During this period of time, more than a third of the martial artists in his batch had died in the mystic realm.

Facing these wasteland reclaimers who had died in the mystic realm, Lu Luo could not help them even if she wanted to. After all, she could not run into the mystic realm and follow every wasteland reclaimer like a nanny.

One day, Lin Xuan discovered that the middle-aged brother, Sun Zhiguo, who often laughed heartily and helped others enthusiastically, had not returned.

He went to Lu Luo to ask about him. Lu Luo told him that the collar had recorded the news of Sun Zhiguo’s death and that he had died under the attack of a group of Red Fire Ants.

Lin Xuan nodded silently.

If the mission quota had not been changed, Sun Zhiguo would probably not die.

However, the sudden increase in the mission quota made Sun Zhiguo immediately enter the mystic realm before he fully recovered. In the end, he failed to hold on.

In terms of the death rate of the wasteland reclaimers, District C’s death rate was already the lowest.

The death rate of the wasteland reclaimers was the highest in District B. The entire District B was filled with a dangerous aura under Yang Wei’s supervision.

Before the mission quota increased, the mortality rate of the wasteland reclaimers in District B had always been 30%. After the number of missions increased, the mortality rate soared to 60%.

Yang Wei had done the math. In any case, with the continuous replenishment of refugees, there were bound to be attribute items that refugees could bring back to the mystic realm.

If one could not reach the mission quota and died, wouldn’t it be fine as long as another person completed it for him?

However, even with such a high mortality rate, the refugees still fought to join the Germinal Organization due to fear.

Rather than living an ignoble life outside the Germinal Organization base, which would still cause them to die, they might as well take the collar and risk it all.

In such an atmosphere, the Germinal Organization was like a war machine that was accelerating its operation and was about to reveal its fangs.

“My skills, equipment, and runes have all been upgraded. I finally feel a little safe. It’s time to challenge the experienced mystic realm king of the Inferior Demon Mountain.”

Lin Xuan changed into Shield Ghost’s equipment and rushed straight to the mystic realm king cave on the top of the Inferior Demon Mountain.

As he passed by the fifth floor, he chanced upon Lu Luo being chased by dozens of Demon Blood Pythons. Lin Xuan helped her out.

“Thank you, thank you.” Lu Luo heaved a sigh of relief. “I accidentally discovered the Demon Blood Python’s nest and was chased after by them.”

Lin Xuan nodded and continued to the peak.

Lu Luo looked at his back and sighed.

It had only been a short while, but Shield Ghost had already surpassed me.

Shield Ghost should be exploring the seventh floor. I have to speed up too. I have to increase my level as soon as possible.

On the top of the Inferior Demon Mountain.

Among the nine mystic realm king caves here, four were experienced mystic realm kings.

However, Lin Xuan discovered that someone was currently challenging an experienced mystic realm king. “Shield Ghost? Hello, hello.”

“I’ve long heard of Shield Ghost’s name. Are you planning to solo the experienced mystic realm king? How impressive.”

There were not many martial artists queuing in the surroundings. There were only a total of 12 people in three teams.

Seeing a figure in black armor walk over, most of the Fifth Realm martial artists in these small teams smiled and greeted him.

After this period of time, Shield Ghost’s name had already spread widely in the Germinal Organization. Everyone knew his name.

He had always been alone along the way. He had to rely on himself to accumulate the advancement materials.

Such a person even made them unable to be envious. They were mostly filled with admiration.

Lin Xuan saw that Wen Xiong, Yang Wei, and the others were also in these teams.

Yang Wei had recently advanced from a Fourth Realm martial artist to a Fifth Realm martial artist and had only used five ordinary advancement materials. Compared to Lin Xuan, who had used five experienced advancement materials, it was as if Yang Wei had lost 40 attribute points. He had suffered a huge loss.

Lin Xuan remembered the names of these three teams and the names of the 12 Fifth Realm martial artists very clearly.

The Germinal Organization currently controlled a total of 26 Fifth Realm martial artists. Among them, only 5 were on Manager Number Two’s side, and the rest were all under Manager Number Three.

These were all the information provided by Number Two.

“Do you guys know who else is challenging the experienced mystic realm king?” Lin Xuan pointed at a cave.

“Oh, it’s the Demon King Team. Their strength is very powerful. For the sake of today’s battle, they have also accumulated a lot of medicinal potions. They have also only entered for a few minutes.” Wen Xiong was about to say something when a martial artist beat him to the punch and replied with a smile.

“Shield Ghost, if you want to solo the experienced mystic realm king, you have to hurry. Otherwise, the Demon King Team will beat you to it.” After the martial artist finished speaking, he added.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

The four people from the Demon King Team were all level nine Fifth Realm martial artists. They were Manager Number Three’s most trusted subordinates.

“I didn’t expect someone to actually snatch the experienced mystic realm king from me. Then, let’s see who’s faster.”

Lin Xuan chuckled in his heart and also crawled into the cave.

“Shield…” Wen Xiong was about to remind Lin Xuan when he saw this. He could only swallow his words.

Wen Xiong frowned and said, “Zhang Peng, why did you stop there? The four people from the Demon King Team have said that they want to take down all the experienced mystic realm kings today and won’t allow the other teams to challenge them.”

The four people from the Demon King Team were the elites of the elites.

He heard that the four of them had been nurtured by Manager Number Three. Every time they advanced, they would use at least two experienced advancement materials. On the other hand, the rest of them could only gather ordinary advancement materials.

The captain of the Demon King Team had even used five experienced advancement materials when advancing to the First Realm and Second Realm.

Although they were all level nine Fifth Realm martial artists, their total attributes were 30 to 40 points higher than the others.

Zhang Peng smiled strangely. “I don’t get along with the Demon King Team. I don’t like Shield Ghost either. If they can fight, that would be great.”

Wen Xiong’s frown deepened.

In a while, Shield Ghost and the Demon King team would probably get into a conflict. At this moment, Wen Xiong felt that he should be on the Shield Ghost’s side and help him out. After all, he felt that Shield Ghost definitely couldn’t beat four of them alone.

Wen Xiong decisively said, “I’ll temporarily withdraw from the team and not enter to challenge the mystic realm king.”

The captain of his team said in surprise, “Ah? Why?”

Wen Xiong pointed at the cave Lin Xuan had just entered. “I’m friends with Shield Ghost. I want to help him in case he gets into conflict with the people of the Demon King Team.”

The captain smiled helplessly. “Alright, alright. I’ll find another person.”

Not far away, Zhang Peng heard this and smiled sarcastically. “Forget it. You treat him as a friend, but he might not treat you as a friend. Don’t think too highly of yourself.”
