85: Shadow Scorpion, accompanied by Black Turtle, smells business opportunities

Shadow Scorpion

Race: Zerg

Tier: Tier 7 Troops

Level: 1

HP: 80000

Attack: 15000

Defense: 5000

Skills: Stealth: The Shadow Scorpion conceals its aura and hides its form, entering a stealth state. While in stealth, movement speed is -50%, and any damage taken is -50%. Attacking or being attacked will exit the stealth state.

Shadow Sting: The Shadow Scorpion quickly whips its tail, dealing massive damage to enemies. (If the Shadow Scorpion attacks while in stealth, damage is doubled)

Ambush: If the Shadow Scorpion deals damage to an enemy from behind, that damage is doubled...

As expected of an assassin-type skill, all three skills are assassination skills.

Approaching an enemy in stealth, getting behind them, and then activating Shadow Sting doubles the damage of that strike.

In addition, there's the passive skill Ambush, which can double damage again when attacking from behind an enemy.

This means that, in an ideal state, the Shadow Scorpion can deal a terrifying four times the damage.

This is already comparable to the damage of Tier 9 Troops.

Taking the head of an enemy general from amidst a million soldiers is no joke.

Especially since the Shadow Scorpion's size isn't too large, making it easy to move through gaps between enemy Troops.

Impossible to guard against!

After seeing the Shadow Scorpion's information,

Li Feng was happy but also vigilant.

He had this type of Troops, and other Lords might also have them.

Next, he needed to find a way to get some Troops that could protect him closely.

Li Feng immediately thought of the Tier 9 Troops, Symbiotic Black Tortoise.

This is a very special Beast race Troops.

It not only has high HP and defense but can also merge with other creatures, sharing its HP and defense with them.

Li Feng immediately opened the Trade Market.

Now that he had become an official Lord, the Trade Market was no longer limited to a specific competition zone but was open to all Earth Lords.

He searched and indeed found a Lord selling a Symbiotic Black Tortoise.

The price was not low, a full 200,000 gold coins.

This wasn't a Troops blueprint, but the price for a single Symbiotic Black Tortoise.

Looking at this price, Li Feng's face twitched; it was too expensive!

Summoning a Tier 9 Troops only cost 20,000 gold coins.

This was ten times the price.

However, considering its rarity, and that summoning a Tier 9 Troops had a ten-day cooldown.

Even with a castle, it would still take five days to cool down.

Considering all the above, the price of 200,000 gold coins wasn't so outrageous.

Li Feng clicked in and found that too many people were buying it.

If he wanted to buy it now, he needed to pay a 100,000 gold coin deposit and then wait in line.

He looked at the queue again; it was already in the five digits.

If he wanted to cut in line, he could, for a flat price of 2,000,000 gold coins!

"Holy crap, this will take forever."

Li Feng immediately cursed and decisively exited.

Subsequently, he checked multiple times and found that the situation with other Lords selling Symbiotic Black Tortoises was pretty much the same as the first one.

However, this also gave Li Feng a business opportunity.

The Zerg also had this type of Troops, but they were far less famous than the Symbiotic Black Tortoise.

If he could acquire this special Zerg Troops in the future, with the Zerg Scourge's no-cooldown summoning, he would make a fortune.

He closed the Trade Market and then opened the chat channel.

There were two types of chat channels.

One was the World Channel, where all Earth Lords could communicate.

The second was the Regional Channel, which encompassed a vast area, and only Lords located in that area could communicate with each other.

Li Feng clicked into the Regional Channel.

The region he was in was numbered DXG3074, and the number of Lords displayed in this region was in the tens of millions.

"This is the real Endless Continent. The previous novice assessment was just child's play. Whether one is a dragon or a worm starts from today. Those so-called prodigies were just temporarily ahead in the novice assessment."

"Our Universe Country has three people on the prodigy list this time. It won't be long before they become Godly Lords, and our Universe Country is destined to rise and become a great nation that looks down upon Earth!"

"What is your Universe Country? Miyamoto Kota, the great master of our Sakura Country, ranks second! He will surely lead our Sakura Country to rise and become a top-tier nation!"

"This novice assessment, the most dazzling one was Li Feng, the great master of our Dragon Country. Besides him, we also have five Lords on the prodigy list. This is a golden age for our Dragon Country."

"Boasting shamelessly! If that Li Feng has guts, let him come out and see if John, the great master of our Free Federation, doesn't beat the crap out of him."

"What kind of trash John? Never heard of him. Our Bear Country's Ivanoff is the strongest."

"Stop arguing! The prodigies of our Sun Never Sets are the strongest. Everyone else is no good."

"Bullshit! If you have guts, come out and compare."

...

On the Regional Channel, Lords from various countries around the world were chatting and interacting.

They were either praising their own country or belittling others, and the atmosphere was very tense.

Li Feng just glanced at it and closed the Regional Channel.

Conflicts between nations always existed and never faded.

If there weren't more and stronger external enemies, it's estimated that the countries of Earth would have already broken out into wars of annihilation.

"This DXG3074 region is a newly born region this year. For the next year, outsiders will not be able to enter it, to prevent veteran Lords from competing for resources with us newcomers."

"I need to seize this year to harvest resources and develop as quickly as possible. I haven't joined any organization or force, so after a year, I'll definitely be targeted by various organizations and forces."

Li Feng murmured, then with a few blinks, he arrived at the observation deck on the third floor of the castle.

Soon, teams of Troops had assembled.

A million Beedrill were divided into thirty teams, each led by a hero.

Twenty-nine teams were responsible for exploring the map, while Mente, the head steward, was responsible for staying at the main camp to guard the home.

As for Li Feng, he also wanted to stretch his muscles and decided to personally lead a team.

This time, he chose to have Speite accompany him.

It was also a good opportunity to test Speite's strength.

Soon, the twenty-nine teams of Troops set off, moving in a mighty procession.

Just as he left the castle, Li Feng discovered a large group of monsters rushing towards the city wall.

This was a group of Tier 3 Ferocious Rabbits, over a hundred in number.

Li Feng naturally didn't pay much attention to this number.

He was just about to test Speite's strength and didn't expect monsters to deliver themselves to him.

Li Feng patted Speite's silver-white carapace and said, "Speite, your turn."

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!

Upon receiving the order, Speite immediately took action.

Half-meter-long, crescent-shaped spatial blades flew out, accurately landing on each Ferocious Rabbit.

[Your hero killed a Ferocious Rabbit. Your hero gained a small amount of experience. You gained 10 gold coins!]

[Your hero killed a Ferocious Rabbit. Your hero gained a small amount of experience. You gained 10 gold coins!]

[...]

In just an instant, all hundred-plus Ferocious Rabbits fell... (Question: Do you prefer one chapter in the afternoon and one in the evening, or two chapters released at once in the evening?)
