16: Chapter 16 Prehistoric Tyrant, Tenfold Attributes!
That night, the entire Tokugawa Alliance burned in flames. Xu Xuan's Floating Island remained on the lake, quietly watching this grand spectacle.
Watching the territories of twenty or thirty Japanese Lords burn in the fire—wasn't this much better than a fireworks festival?
Xu Xuan lay on the lawn, smelling the smoky scent permeating the air, comfortably enjoying the evening breeze.
He was comfortable, but two unlucky bastards weren't going to survive tonight.
In the forest, savages carried the scalded Ashikaga Hide and Tada Arisu. These two, who had shouted the loudest before the battle, were now unrecognizable.
The Golden Juice stuck to their bodies had cooled down, emitting a foul stench that even the savages couldn't stand.
Tokugawa Ieyasu stepped forward to check their injuries and shook his head.
The middle-aged man sighed. "They're done for. The stuff that Xia country Lord used is likely the 'Golden Juice' recorded in their military books."
Hearing the words 'Golden Juice,' the group of japanese people looked confused.
"What is Golden Juice?"
"It's an oily soup made by boiling excrement. Their entire skin is severely burned, and the wounds have already begun to infect. They will soon rot, ooze pus, and die."
Tokugawa Ieyasu shook his head repeatedly at the sight. "There are no antibiotics in this era. Even if there were, this kind of burn would be difficult to treat in modern times. Such a massive bacterial infection is too malicious!"
Hearing this, the expressions of the other Japanese Lords around them became incredibly heavy.
It was terrifying to think about; that Xia country Lord had actually produced a killing weapon like Golden Juice.
Originally, Golden Juice was used for city defense, but since Xu Xuan had a Floating Island, it had become his ultimate offensive tool. It could penetrate through gaps in wood and harm those hiding behind it; it was practically a magical attack that ignored defense.
Not only was it like a magical attack, but the cooled Golden Juice emitted a peculiar stench that made life a living hell for the injured.
Their bodies were incredibly itchy and painful, and they had to inhale large gulps of the foul air with every breath. It was more miserable than being killed.
Furthermore, Tokugawa Ieyasu pulled out the arrows from their bodies and, after careful observation, reached another conclusion.
"These bone arrowheads are all poisoned. They must have been dipped in Golden Juice. The wounds of those hit will fester and bleed uncontrollably. It's too ruthless..."
Looking at the substance on the arrows, Tokugawa Ieyasu could no longer find any words to describe Xu Xuan.
He was too malicious, a beast among beasts, a poisonous dragon among true dragons!
Everything that Xu Xuan created was designed to kill; those hit would die from infection.
Those who saw these conditions were already scared witless, losing the courage to continue fighting.
Their alliance could only disband, everyone fleeing for their own lives when disaster struck.
Only that afternoon, they had been gathered together, discussing the future and clamoring to occupy the Floating Island.
Now, the two who had shouted the loudest were already lying like corpses, about to draw their last breaths, and the others had to pack their things and run.
And just as their spirits were at their lowest, Ashikaga Hide and Tada Arisu slowly breathed their last.
On the other side, Xu Xuan received good news.
[Global Announcement: Xia country Lord Xu Xuan has slain Japanese Lords Ashikaga Hide and Tada Arisu, taking the Global First Kill and obtaining the title: prehistoric tyrant!]
[prehistoric tyrant Title Effect: Your physical fitness will be 10 times that of an ordinary savage! It will greatly enhance your immunity, making you less susceptible to diseases.]
Upon receiving this title, Xu Xuan felt a jolt of energy. The muscles all over his body seemed to become firm, and he felt an endless surge of strength within him. He felt like a human tank now, bursting with power!
He clenched his fists, glanced at a whole log nearby, and tried to reach out and pick it up.
The originally heavy log, a thick piece of wood that required two savages to carry, was easily lifted by Xu Xuan with one hand, as simple as picking up a stick.
Standing beside Xu Xuan, Hu Zi Mei immediately revealed a look of admiration.
Not just Hu Zi Mei, but the men and women of the entire tribe—especially the female savages—watched with eyes glowing.
In this primitive age, strength was the primary measure of a man most of the time.
Being able to easily lift a log weighing nearly a ton—this strength was enough to steal the souls of countless female savages.
After Xu Xuan set the log down, he felt an unprecedentedly wonderful sensation. So these titles really provided actual benefits?
His primitive conqueror title increased morale, while this prehistoric tyrant title directly gave him ten times the physical fitness of a savage. It was incredibly fierce!
The reward for his Global First Kill was truly practical.
After all, the most dangerous thing in ancient times was getting injured, and the most terrifying thing was falling ill.
Only by ensuring one's physical fitness was strong could one survive in such a perilous world.
And this first kill also instilled fear in Lords worldwide.
In this Lord War, someone had already died at the hands of another on the very first day, and everyone couldn't help but feel the pressure of survival.
After all, in some heavily populated regions, like a certain mysterious Eastern powerhouse—yes, referring to the Indians.
With their population of over a billion, and over a billion Lords placed there, no one should have dared to provoke them.
Now, seeing that a Lord had already died, it greatly stimulated everyone's nerves.
This wasn't some leisurely farming game; this was a battlefield for the hegemony of ten thousand nations!
On this Lord Continent, even more terrifying, cruel, and bloody wars might break out in the future.
The relaxed atmosphere of farming was suddenly shattered by Xu Xuan, and many people were curious about just who this Xu Xuan was.
How could he already be on a killing spree in the Japanese zone at the very start?
Of course, since he was currently in the Japanese zone, people back in his own country didn't know his situation, and naturally, no one knew what was going on.
Furthermore, there were many people in the country with the surname Xu and the same name as Xu Xuan. No one would associate this Xu Xuan with a high school senior from a middle school in Guangnan City.
Lying on the lawn and watching the situation below, as those Japanese Lords began to flee, Xu Xuan curled his lips: "Once they've mostly run away, it'll be time for us to occupy the Lord Cores. With so many Lord Crystals, I estimate we can expand the Floating Island to two or three hundred meters."
Occupying at least 20 cores in one go would allow the Floating Island to expand to 330 meters in diameter, which would be quite substantial.
Moreover, he didn't know if occupying so many at once would unlock any new technologies, which made Xu Xuan quite expectant.
While he was lying happily on the ground, Hu Zi Mei also lay down beside him.
This female savage's face was full of admiration, making no effort to hide her affection for Xu Xuan.
"Chief, you are strong and smart!"
Glancing at this female savage, although she was a bit simple-minded, well... she did have some beauty.
"Go wash up. If I'm in a good mood, I might consider it later."
