Lord Of The People: I Recruited A Mutant Succubus From The Start Novel - Chapter 202

Hearing the mournful dragon’s roar, Xu Xinghe suddenly turned his head.

The voice came from behind his territory, causing Xu Xinghe’s heart to tighten.

The battle had already ended. Could it be that there were still other special monsters hidden in the territory and had launched a sneak attack?

“Lord Ren Qi, let’s go take a look together,” Xu Xinghe said softly as he looked at Ren Qi beside him.

If there really were still some special monsters left, Ren Qi’s troops would probably be needed to help eliminate them.

Ren Qi listened to Xu Xinghe’s words and nodded gently. Then, he followed behind Xu Xinghe and headed towards the back of the black dragon territory.

When they arrived at the back of Xu Xinghe’s black dragon territory, Ren Qi and Xu Xinghe saw an injured black dragon roaring in pain behind the territory.

The black dragon began to rampage across the empty space. Everything in the surrounding territory was destroyed by it.

At the same time, it kept letting out painful roars and kept smashing its head, as if it had suffered some serious mental attack.

Xu Xinghe’s expression was a little anxious. This black dragon clearly did not suffer any serious injuries and only suffered some minor injuries. How did it become like this?

Without any hesitation, Xu Xinghe rushed forward, trying to calm the black dragon’s emotions.

However, before he could get close, the black dragon directly spat out a mouthful of dragon’s breath at him, as if it did not recognize him as its master at all.

If it wasn’t for the black dragon beside him rushing over to block the dragon’s breath, Xu Xinghe would probably have been roasted.

Even though he was wearing a defensive armor and wouldn’t have died, he would probably be in a sorry state.

Xu Xinghe’s expression became extremely ugly.

His own troops were attacking him. Although it was said that this black dragon was in an abnormal situation, it was enough to make him feel shocked and embarrassed.

At the same time, Xu Xinghe looked at the black dragon in front of him with a look of shock on his face. Then, he quickly retreated.

“What’s wrong?” Ren Qi asked as he looked at Xu Xinghe who was retreating quickly.

Xu Xinghe’s face turned even uglier. “I feel that the loyalty of this black dragon is rapidly decreasing.”

Ren Qi frowned when he heard this.

What was going on?

Loyalty decreasing?

Generally speaking, it was very difficult to decrease the loyalty of a soldier, unless it was someone who did not treat the soldier as one of their own, who would either scold or beat them up, or send the soldier to their deaths.

Otherwise, even if the soldier helped him block the fatal attack, their loyalty would not decrease.

Xu Xinghe, this fellow, would definitely cherish his Tier-8 black dragons.

This could be seen from the fact that he had specially opened up a large area in his territory for these black dragons to move about.

Moreover, the Black Dragon territory had just escaped from the enemy attack, and he did not suffer too much damage. This should be the time when the army’s mentality was relatively stable.

Ren Qi even felt that the loyalty of these black dragons should have increased.

“How much has it decreased?” Ren Qi looked at Xu Xinghe and asked.

Xu Xinghe frowned and said, “It has decreased to 70.”

Ren Qi raised his brows. For a lord, the loyalty of the soldiers falling to 70 was already a very dangerous situation.

Under such circumstances, even though a lord could still give orders to a soldier, the degree of compliance was already very low.

Ren Qi’s gaze landed on the roaring black dragon.

After the black dragon roared for a while, it slowly calmed down and its body fell heavily to the ground.

At this moment, Ren Qi and Xu Xinghe noticed that some changes had begun to appear on the black dragon’s body.

Wisps of black fog seeped out from the black dragon’s scales and lingered around its scales.

At this moment, the aura on the black dragon’s body had also undergone some changes. It was as if it had suddenly become much stronger, becoming very tyrannical.

Then, the muscles on the black dragon’s body became more solid, as if they had suddenly bulged up a little.

Ren Qi was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect such a change to happen to the black dragon.

On the other hand, Xu Xinghe’s expression became even weirder.

He looked at the black dragon in front of him as if he was looking at an unfamiliar creature and not his own troop.

“Why did such a change happen?” Ren Qi looked at Xu Xinghe and asked softly.

Xu Xinghe shook his head and said, “I’m not too sure, but I can clearly feel that the black dragon’s strength has increased greatly.”

“Moreover, this increase seems to be continuous. Its strength has already surpassed Tier 8.”

Ren Qi raised his brows slightly when he heard Xu Xinghe’s words.

Black fog appeared within the scale armor, and its strength had increased to a level that surpassed Tier 8.

This news caused Ren Qi to start to think of the special monster from earlier.

“Don’t you think that the change in your black dragon has a lot to do with the special monster from earlier?” Ren Qi looked at Xu Xinghe and softly asked.

Xu Xinghe was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Soon after, his expression also became nervous.

“Now that you say it like this, it seems like it really is the case. Could it be that those special monsters have some kind of virus on their bodies? Would a black dragon undergo a mutation when it is injured?”

When he said this, Xu Xinghe did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent. He directly looked at the other injured black dragons in the territory.

After checking the other black dragons, Xu Xinghe discovered that the other injured black dragons did not seem to show such a change.

It seemed that only this black dragon had such a change!

What was going on?

Just as Ren Qi and Xu Xinghe were puzzled, a painful roar came from outside of Xu Xinghe’s territory.

Ren Qi’s expression suddenly changed. It seemed that only the Black Flood Dragon tribe and the Black Turtle tribe were outside.

Without any hesitation, Ren Qi hurriedly rushed out of Xu Xinghe’s territory.

When he arrived outside of Xu Xinghe’s territory, Ren Qi saw about 50 black flood dragons and 50 black turtles rolling on the ground in pain, similar to the symptoms of the black dragon just now.

At this moment, strange black fog began to appear on the bodies of these black flood dragons and black turtles. The muscles on their bodies had also become much firmer, and their auras had also become much stronger.

All of the symptoms were basically the same as the changes that had happened to the black dragon just now.

Ren Qi’s expression became serious. When Ao Xing and Han Wu, who were frightened by this situation, saw Ren Qi come over, they both came to Ren Qi’s side.

“What’s going on?” Ren Qi asked ao Xing and Han Wu as she looked at the scene in front of them.

Ao Xing said anxiously, “I don’t know. They were all resting. I didn’t expect these guys to suddenly go crazy. Now, there’s such a change.”

Han Wu said seriously, “Master, I feel that my control over them is decreasing. It’s as if they don’t want to recognize me as their clan leader.”

Ren Qi frowned as well. Their loyalty was decreasing?

Then, Ren Qi looked at Ao Xing and Han Wu and asked, “Did they have any abnormalities previously? Or did they have any different experiences from the other black flood dragons or turtles that didn’t have any problems?”

Ao Xing shook his head and said, “No, they all came together. There weren’t any problems previously. If I have to say something, it should be that these guys swallowed a lot of those special monsters.”

Han Wu also nodded and said, “It’s the same on my side. It seems that they also ate those special monsters, but they didn’t taste good, so I didn’t let the other clansmen eat them.”

After all, the Black Flood Dragon clan and the Han Wu Turtle Clan ate a lot, so Ren Qi allowed them to eat monsters in battle.

Hearing Ao Xing and Han Wu’s words, Ren Qi turned to look at Xu Xinghe and said, “Did your black dragon also eat those special monsters? Is that why this happened?”

Xu Xinghe was stunned, then he quickly ran back to the territory.

Soon, Xu Xinghe returned and looked at Ren Qi. “That’s right. The surrounding black dragons told me that it swallowed one of these invading monsters.”

Ren Qi nodded and said, “Then, it seems that the problem lies here. This kind of monster that invaded your territory is very special. If it’s swallowed, I’m afraid it will have some effect on the creature that swallowed it.”

“What do we do now?” Xu Xinghe looked at Ren Qi and asked.

Ren Qi shook his head and said, “There’s no other way. We can only wait and observe the situation for now. Go back and stabilize the black dragon first to prevent any accidents from happening. We’ll see what we can do when the results are out.”

Xu Xinghe nodded and then quickly turned back.

At that moment, Elise quickly arrived in front of Ren Qi.

“Master, the soul power of these special monsters is very chaotic. It can not be treated as being absorbed and transformed by the Elemental Holy Stone.”

Ren Qi raised his eyebrows.

Very chaotic?

No wonder these special monsters could not be threatened by spiritual attacks. It seemed that they were not heartless, but rather brainless.

However, they had also displayed a strong sense of discipline before, and it did not seem like their souls were in chaos.

Where did these things come from?

How could such a situation happen?

Ren Qi was rather puzzled.

Meanwhile, Ao Xing and Han Wu also quickly went to check on the mutated clansmen, looking very nervous.

If something really happened, they might even have to kill them.

Fortunately, the black flood dragons and black turtles that had swallowed the special monster only changed like the black dragon and did not go berserk.

Soon, they fell into a deep sleep, as if they had used up a lot of their energy.

After waiting for a while, Xu Xinghe came back. He looked at Ren Qi with a strange expression and said, “The black dragon has woken up, but it seems that its brain has become a little abnormal.”

Ren Qi raised his eyebrows and asked, “Its brain has become a little abnormal? What do you mean?”

Xu Xinghe said, “It’s like it has become stupid. It’s very slow to respond to my orders. When I don’t give it an order, it becomes dull, as if it’s stuck.”

This was Ren Qi’s first time encountering such a situation. He looked at Xu Xinghe and continued to ask, “Other than these? Are there any other changes?”

Xu Xinghe thought for a moment and said, “Other than becoming stupid, the black dragon’s physical strength has increased greatly. Moreover, its defense is very strong, and its attack power has also increased by a lot.”

“In conclusion, it has become stupid, but it has also become stronger. Its current strength indicates that it should be about to step into the ninth tier!”

Ren Qi was also stunned when he heard Xu Xinghe’s words.

It sounded as if it had exchanged its brain for strength.

At this moment, the black flood dragons and black turtles that had swallowed the special monsters also woke up.

Their expressions also became dull. Their movements had obviously slowed down, but their strength and aura had clearly increased by a lot.

Ao Xing and Han Wu stepped forward and roared at them.

These black flood dragons and Han Wu turtles hesitated for a few seconds before they obeyed Ao Xing and Han Wu’s orders and moved to the side.

Ao Xing and Han Wu returned to Ren Qi’s side and said with a worried expression, “Master, they seem to have become a lot dumber. Although their strength has increased a little, we still feel that it’s not worth it.”

After all, Ao Xing and Han Wu relied on Ren Qi now, and Ren Qi’s Elemental Holy Stone could allow the black flood dragons and black turtles to raise their ranks.

Therefore, this kind of increase in strength was still something that Ao Xing and Han Wu looked down on.

However, it seemed that other than the sequela of becoming a little dumber, there were no other disadvantages. It was still barely acceptable.

At this time, Xu Xinghe’s gaze fell on the corpses of the special monsters. His eyes flickered slightly.

Then, he looked at Ren Qi and said, “Lord Ren Qi, if you don’t mind, can you give me these monster corpses? I can use energy crystals to trade.”

Ren Qi glanced at Xu Xinghe and said, “You want to use these monster corpses to increase the power of the black dragons?”

Although the corpses of these monsters could increase the power of the creatures that devoured them, the side effects were not clear yet.

Who knew if there were other side effects besides becoming stupid?

Ren Qi, who had the Elemental Holy Stone, would not choose this method anyway.

But for Xu Xinghe, this was a rare opportunity.

As long as he observed the black dragon for two days, if there were no other side effects, he could let the other black dragons devour these special monsters to increase their strength.

After all, Xu Xinghe did not have any Holy Stones. After the black dragon reached Tier 8, it would be difficult for it to increase its strength.

Without the black fog, Xu Xinghe could only rely on the Tier-8 black dragon to thrive.

However, with the appearance of the black fog, everything would be different. Xu Xinghe didn’t know what would happen in the future, so he needed to make preparations.

He didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

Therefore, Xu Xinghe looked at Ren Qi and nodded solemnly. “That’s right. I hope Lord Ren Qi can help me.”

Ren Qi looked at Xu Xinghe and thought for a moment, then nodded.

They were unable to extract any useful soul power from these monsters, so it could be said that they were of no use to him since he had the Elemental Holy Stone.

Since Xu Xinghe wanted it, he would give it to him.

As for letting Xu Xinghe use the Elemental Holy Stone, Ren Qi had never even considered it.

Firstly, things like the Elemental Holy Stone could be considered top secret. His relationship with Xu Xinghe had not reached the point where he could lend the other party the Elemental Holy Stone.

Secondly, there were many things in his territory that required the use of Elemental Holy Stones, such as succubi, dragons, turtles, and the dark elves. He had no time to spare.

In the end, Xu Xinghe paid Ren Qi 60,000 energy crystals to buy the corpses of these special monsters and express his gratitude to Ren Qi for coming to support him.

Ren Qi did not waste too much time on this trip, and he did not lose any troops. It could be said that he made a fortune.

After returning to the territory, Ren Qi let the succubi continue to line up to use the Elemental Holy Stones.

The rest who could not line up first went out to hunt with Elise.

As for Ao Xing and Han Wu, Ren Qi also let them observe the clansmen who had eaten the special monsters to see if they would have any other reactions.

…

Two days later, Ren Qi’s team experienced a massive increase in strength.

After the recruitment pool upgrade and the effect of the Elemental Holy Stone, Ren Qi’s succubus army had grown a lot stronger.

Now, Ren Qi had 15 Tier-9 mutated succubi. If it was not for the bad luck of the past two days that they did not recruit more, there would probably be more.

And among these Tier-9 mutant succubi, there were already 10 that had advanced to Tier-9 complete form.

Their combat strength could be said to have reached a peak.

After all, after advancing to the complete form, they had awakened even more combat strength.

Especially the four superior succubi like Risa and the others. Their strength had increased greatly, and now their combat strength had increased by quite a bit.

The Tier-8 mutant succubi had increased the most, and now there were around 150 Tier-8 mutant succubi.

Some of them had used the Elemental Holy Stone to increase their strength, while some had used the Elemental Holy Stone to increase their level, triggering their ability to advance to Tier-8.

The remaining ones were the Tier-6 succubi that had a high proportion before. But now, there were not many of them, and the mutant succubi were the majority.

As for those below Tier-6, there were no such succubi in the succubus territory anymore.

Some of them had died in the battle, while the others had all advanced to Tier 6 or even Tier 8.

Compared to before, Ren Qi’s succubus army’s strength had undergone an earth-shaking change.

Of course, if he used all of the collected soul power to increase the succubi’s foundation, he could raise them to Tier 9, but their levels wouldn’t change much.

Ren Qi needed to quickly increase his combat strength. This was the best choice for him.

Moreover, it wasn’t just the succubi who would increase their strength. Ren Qi himself would also grow stronger.

After this period of time, with Tina’s feedback, as well as his dual cultivation with Risa, Ren Qi’s physical strength had also improved quite a bit.

Currently, Ren Qi was about twice as strong as before. It was about the same as the physical strength of a Tier-5 soldier.

Of course, a human’s body was not as strong as a complete Tier-5 soldier’s body.

However, this was already a very powerful improvement for humans.

Previously, Ren Qi could last one night. Now, he could even last a whole day.

The strength of his body was not only reflected in this aspect. Ren Qi’s various abilities, including his reaction speed, had improved considerably.

At this moment, a ray of light rose from the Five Elements Teleportation Array. The Dark Elf Queen appeared within the teleportation array.

The Dark Elf Queen raised her eyebrows as she looked at Ren Qi. She was naturally able to sense the changes that had occurred in Ren Qi’s physical body.

Soon after, the Dark Elf Queen’s gaze landed on the fully-prepared succubus army beside Ren Qi. Her eyes revealed a tinge of shock.

She remembered that the last time she left the succubus territory, the succubus territory’s strength wasn’t even half of what it was now, right?

Why are there so many Tier-9 succubi now?

How did this guy do it?
