Lord Of The People: I Recruited A Mutant Succubus From The Start Novel - Chapter 20

It was already six or seven o’clock in the morning. The sun had already risen, and the surrounding darkness had subsided.

Ren Qi raised his head and looked at the layers of dark clouds in the sky. His expression was grave.

Sunlight shone through the layers of dark clouds. The light had already weakened a lot. Although it was enough to light up the surroundings, it appeared very dark.

From the looks of it, the space of the new lord’s territory had undergone a change. The locator and communicator had both malfunctioned. In addition, the new lords could only communicate with each other via chat in the open chat group, so Ren Qi had a guess in his heart.

It seemed that the new lords’ territories were in the same place, so they could use the communication device to chat.

However, he didn’t know what this place was and what the surrounding situation was like.

Under the sunlight, Ren Qi could clearly see that his territory was located on a grassland. Not far behind him was a tall mountain. There was black fog lingering on the mountainside, making it difficult to see its shape.

In front of his territory was a grassland that wasn’t big. A kilometer ahead of him was a small river, and on the other side of the river was a lush forest.

However, there was also a lot of black mist lingering in the forest, so the situation could not be seen clearly.

What was this black mist?

Ren Qi frowned and opened the public chat group.

[ Facing the gale: The sun has finally risen. F*ck, what’s going on? The surroundings are so dark. What’s with the black mist ?]

[ Li Tianyu (Northwest Ranking #7) : F*ck, what the .... Is this place? Only the new lords are here? What if we encounter the demon wave? ]

[ Sweet Bubble: from the looks of it, the new lords should all be in the same area. This place is isolated from the outside world, that’s why only we can chat.]

[ Night Wind Blade Curtain: It’s not easy to resist the attack of the monsters. A territory not far from where I am has been breached. The monsters are devouring the soldiers and lords inside. F*ck! I can only watch helplessly! ]

All kinds of messages kept flooding the screen, describing the situations they had encountered.

Last night, all the new lords should have been attacked by the monsters. Some of the lord’s territories with low combat strength and low defense had been invaded, allowing all the new lords to understand the cruelty of the wilderness.

At this time, a message in the chat group suddenly attracted everyone’s attention.

[ Tianjizi: Everyone, the unit I awakened is a mage. I was lucky enough to recruit a mage with an extremely strong perception. He sensed that we are in a place that is isolated from the outside world. ]

[ Moreover, there are many monsters around, but most of them are underage. Most importantly, there are many demon caves around, and the number of monsters in them is unknown. ]

[ He guessed that the monsters in those demon caves are preparing to launch a demon wave. I don’t know how long it will take, maybe seven or eight days, or maybe a month. Everyone should try to improve their strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, under the demon wave, the number of new lords who will die will be even higher.]

The words of the new lord nicknamed Tianjizi immediately caused a huge uproar. Before everyone could understand what was going on, someone had told them that a demon wave was coming.

Generally speaking, there would be old lords around the new lord’s territory. When a demon wave occurred, the old lords would go up and give the new lords time to develop.

Right now, there were only new lords here. Once the demon wave arrived, it was estimated that there would be many casualties.

Within a short period of time, the chat group was filled with all kinds of messages. Some were anxiously running around asking for help, some were calmly analyzing the situation, and most were looking for the help of the surrounding lords. They were prepared to join forces to face this unknown situation.

Ren Qi looked around, but he didn’t find any other lords. It seemed like his position was a little more remote.

“Elise, take some succubi and go out to investigate the situation. Be careful. If you encounter any danger that you can’t resist, escape will be your first priority,” Ren Qi said as he looked outside his territory.

No one knew when the demon wave would descend, but they needed to use the fastest time to increase their strength.

Soldiers needed demon meat to increase their strength, so they needed to first investigate the surrounding situation to see where there were monsters, what their levels were, and how many there were. They needed to know all of this.

Generally speaking, if an ordinary Lord’s space materialized, with the situation of an old lord in the surroundings, they could buy information about the monsters in the surroundings so that they could hunt for monsters that suited their strength.

But now, it was just like reclaiming a wasteland. They needed to investigate bit by bit.

Succubi were relatively fast, so there shouldn’t be too much danger when they investigated.

Judging from the wolves last night, the level of the monsters around them shouldn’t be too high.

“Yes, Master!”

Elise received the order and led seven or eight succubi out of the territory, heading towards the front of the territory.

The lord could share the vision of a unit. Ren Qi could see and know the situation ahead by sharing Elise’s vision.

There was no danger on the grassland. Elise led a few succubi to the river in front of them.

The river was not very wide and the current was not very turbulent, but it was very deep.

Many shadows could be seen swimming around. Perhaps they felt something above them. Many of the shadows poked their heads out and opened their sharp mouths, struggling to get out of the water.

It was a Tier 1 monster, bloodthirsty fin.

These monsters were very sensitive to fresh blood, and they hunted in groups. Even a Tier 2 soldier would be eaten up instantly if it fell into the water.

Without any hesitation, Elise shot out a dark flame from her hand, which landed on a bloodthirsty fin’s body.

This was the succubus’s attack method, the fallen flame.

The burning power of the fallen flame was not very strong, but it could burn souls. It dealt high damage to creatures with low soul defence.

However, the soul damage of the fallen flame of a Tier 3 succubus was not very high. Therefore, it was considered trash among the Tier 3 soldiers.

Elise was already a Tier 5 mutated succubus. When the fallen flame landed on the bloodthirsty fin, which twisted its body and died instantly.

The other succubi also used the fallen flame. It was very effective against the Tier 1 bloodthirsty fins.

Soon, the bloodthirsty fins’ corpses floated all over the river.

Tier 1 monsters did not have much intelligence. Even if many of them were killed, they would still come one after another.

Elise asked a few succubi to collect the bloodthirsty fin corpses. After processing it, they could get a lot of Tier 1 monster meat.

After that, Elise ordered a few succubi to collect the remaining bloodthirsty fins’ corpses. Then, she spread her wings and flew toward the other side of the river with three succubi.

Succubi could fly, but their flying height and speed were very low, not even as fast as walking, but it was still very convenient to cross the river.

On the other side of the river was the forest that was covered in black mist. Without any hesitation, Elise brought the three succubi and directly stepped into the forest ahead.

“Boom!”

The moment they stepped into the forest, a whistling sound came from the left. A shadow suddenly rushed towards Elise.
