26: Undercurrent

A silver pillar of light vanished.

A Zerg hero appeared.

It was a dark gray ant hero.

Gigant Ant

Name: Mente

Race: Zerg

Quality: Common Hero

Tier: Tier 1

Health: 1875 (+625)

Attack: 225 (+75)

Defense: 90 (+30)

Skills: Gigant Charge, Savage Bite, Zerg Aura, Bloodthirst

Unfortunately, Li Feng's luck seemed to have run out.

This ant hero was only a Common Hero.

However, this was the normal probability.

Generally speaking, eight out of ten Hero Recruitment Orders would yield Common Heroes.

Li Feng summoning Epic Heroes twice in a row was already an incredible stroke of luck.

Now, he was just back to normal.

A Common Hero could amplify 10,000 Troops, with a 6% increase to all attributes.

However, one Troop could only receive amplification from one hero.

Li Feng's current number of Troops had not yet exceeded 160,000, so Mente was not needed to amplify his Troops.

"Mente, from now on, you will be the butler of my castle, responsible for managing all the miscellaneous affairs within my castle."

Li Feng issued his first command to Mente.

It was just a Common Hero; it had no combat power and no amplification.

Li Feng simply made it a logistics manager.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

Mente chirped, indicating its obedience.

Immediately after, Li Feng gave Mente a series of instructions.

Don't underestimate the position of logistics manager.

In ancient times, prime ministers of various countries were essentially the logistics managers of their nations, a very important position.

After giving instructions, Li Feng put the last few dozen gold coins into the Human Priest's Altar.

After placing gold coins in advance, the Troop Altar would automatically summon Troops when the time came.

This also indirectly saved the Lord's time.

After all, it was fine at the beginning.

Later, when there were more Troop Altars, how many Lords could stay by its side every day, waiting for the cooldown to end?

After doing all this, Li Feng led his Troops and Mente out of the second underground floor.

Upon returning to his bedroom, Li Feng collapsed and slept... This night, undercurrents surged, destined to be restless.

For example, in a basin tens of kilometers away from Li Feng, a brutal battle was currently unfolding.

There was almost no vegetation in this basin; one could see from the easternmost to the westernmost side at a glance.

Although there was no basin, there were numerous ore veins.

Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 ore veins were everywhere, and even the number of Tier 4 and Tier 5 ore veins was not small; one could even see Tier 6 ore veins.

This basin was clearly a rich mining area, overflowing with wealth.

The two rich mining areas Li Feng had discovered earlier seemed like impoverished lands compared to this place.

During the novice assessment, the Lords' teleports were very random.

Some, like Li Feng, couldn't see a second Lord within a radius of tens of kilometers.

Others, like this basin, had as many as eighteen Lords descend into the area.

Chen Hu, who awakened the Tier 5 Troop Azure Flame Tiger, was the strongest Lord in this basin.

At this moment, his Azure Flame Tiger displayed its might, spewing a mouthful of azure flames that instantly killed several Tier 1 Troops.

Seeing this scene, a cruel smile appeared on Chen Hu's rather handsome face.

"Boss Chen Hu, why are you doing this to me? Didn't we agree to form an alliance?"

The Lord of the Tier 1 Troops trembled, half from anger, half from fear.

"Those were just words to appease you useless people, to make you mine for me for free. Now that the protection period is over, you can withdraw. I don't need useless people under me."

Chen Hu sneered dismissively.

"Chen Hu, I won't let you off! I'm from the XX family in XX city, and I'll definitely use my family's connections to make you pay!"

That Tier 1 Lord raged ineffectually, only able to bring up his backing, hoping to make Chen Hu hesitate.

"Still daring to threaten me? Don't think I don't know that those Lord families have large populations and won't care about a small-fry like you. You should just withdraw peacefully."

Chen Hu's expression darkened, then he let out a cold laugh.

"I hate it!"

That Lord was consumed by hatred but was powerless.

Even if his Troops were several times that of Chen Hu's, it was completely useless.

His Troops didn't even have the chance to touch Chen Hu before being easily killed by a mouthful of azure flames.

In just a moment, all his Troops were wiped out.

With a look of despair, that Lord withdrew from the Endless Continent.

Boom!

An Azure Flame Tiger raised its massive tiger paw and destroyed that Lord's Lord Altar and Troop Altar with one slap.

Chen Hu heard the Heavenly Dao's prompt in his mind; he had successfully plundered all of that Lord's points.

Half an hour later.

The war in the basin subsided, and all Lords who had awakened Tier 1 Troops were expelled from the Endless Continent.

"Boss Chen Hu."

"Boss Chen Hu."

"..."

Only twelve Lords remained, but the awakened Troops were all at least Tier 2 and above.

Among them, only Chen Hu had awakened a Tier 5 Troop.

There were two people who had awakened Tier 4 Troops.

There were five people who had awakened Tier 3 Troops.

The rest were all Lords who had awakened Tier 2 Troops.

At this moment, everyone looked at Chen Hu with awe.

Chen Hu's strength was undoubtedly the strongest among them.

The Azure Flame Tiger was also a top-tier Troop among Tier 5 Troops.

If Chen Hu wanted to, he could even wipe out all the remaining people by himself.

To preserve their Lord status, this group of young people, who should have been full of vigor, had all learned to rein in their tempers.

They behaved respectfully in front of Chen Hu.

"Very good. From now on, our Azure Tiger Alliance is officially established. Our goal is also very simple: to help me win first place in the novice assessment for this division."

"Of course, I won't treat you unfairly. I will do my best to help you develop, because the Endless Continent is not just this short one-month novice assessment; the future is still long."

"..."

Chen Hu spoke eloquently, envisioning the future, and incidentally painted a grand picture for everyone.

It must be said that young people are easily swayed.

In just a short while, the other eleven Lords all started breathing heavily, their blood boiling.

Seeing this, Chen Hu nodded with satisfaction.

This was precisely the effect he wanted.

"Good, well said! Boss Chen Hu is mighty and will surely lead us to the peak, trampling people like Li Feng, Fang Song, and Sun Yun underfoot!"

A Lord with a more mature appearance took the lead in applauding.

The others, seeing this, also applauded one after another.

Chen Hu looked at the mature-faced Lord with satisfaction...
