42: Chapter 42 The Harvest After the Great Battle

"Fire!" Phoenix's voice was a bit hoarse. After fighting for half the night, she was parched, yet the Corpse Beasts seemed endless.

A few stone spears were shot over, and two more Corpse Beasts fell to the ground.

"Squad Leader, we're out of stone spears!" a warrior shouted.

"Me too!"

"I still have two!"

The group of warriors called out in a clamor.

Looking at her comrades who had fallen to the ground, their remains scattered, Phoenix stumbled to her feet. Supporting herself with a stone spear, she gritted her teeth and said, "We are warriors of Great Qin! Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Tu, you two take Gu and the others back. Teng, you few hurry and collect stones. Shan, come with me to collect stone spears!" While there were no Corpse Beasts approaching, Phoenix quickly assigned tasks to everyone.

Tu and Yuan were the youngest in the First Squad. They took one deep look at Phoenix, bowed deeply, shouldered Gu and another warrior, and ran back without looking back.

The Qin Tribe army was trapped in a bitter battle. The great fire had eliminated over ninety percent of the Corpse Beasts, but hundreds of Corpse Beasts with tenacious vitality were still attacking the warriors.

The army guarding the cliff also suffered heavy losses; the First Squad and Second Squad of the First Battalion of the Huben were almost completely wiped out.

The fire was still raging in the valley, and the air was filled with the stench of rotting corpses and a faint aroma of meat, making one feel nauseous.

"Rescue the brothers of the First Squad!" Platoon Leader Xu Feng shouted. He still had the intact Third Squad and over twenty Farmers under his command.

They threw down all the straw and boulders in front of them. Their combat mission was complete; the next step was to bring back the First Squad and then retreat.

The same scene occurred on the opposite bank. Feiyu, the Battalion Commander of the First Battalion of the She Sheng, also led his warriors to the rescue; their casualties were almost the same.

Zhao Feng retracted his spear and looked to the other side.

A group of strange-looking creatures were fighting against the Corpse Beasts. Their participation greatly reduced the pressure on the Second Battalion, and the almost crumbling defensive line stabilized again.

Withdrawing his gaze, Zhao Feng could not suppress his surging Battle Intent and strode towards the giant snake rushing over from the valley! The Corpse Beasts were gradually thinning out; it looked like the battle was about to end.

The Qin Tribe in the rear still had warriors coming in as reinforcements; it seemed the Shaman left behind had done a very good job. With the support of these warriors, the situation slowly began to reverse.

Monk Wugou, Daoist Master Xuan Kong, and Zhao Feng each fought an Epic Corpse Beast. Under the raging fire, the visual effects of the three's battle were spectacular.

Daoist Master Xuan Kong bombarded with Five Elements techniques in turns, with white, cyan, blue, red, and yellow colors shining, and all sorts of strange technique effects were dazzling.

Monk Wugou, however, was golden all over, just like a golden man cast from gold.

His clothes were puffed up by abundant Buddha Power, and strands of golden radiance shone recklessly. Each strike roared like a cannonball, also possessing great power.

Zhao Feng was surrounded by rainbow-like light, with ribbons of spiritual energy swirling around him.

These atomic organisms that Zhao Feng had absorbed into his body seemed to have awakened during the intense battle. They were cheering and leaping, demonstrating extraordinary power.

Every strike of Zhao Feng was wrapped in spiritual energy, exploding with a hundred times the power.

The intense gale forced ordinary warriors to retreat further and further away, leaving him a battlefield with a radius of a hundred meters.

The giant snake was quickly hacked into pieces. When the last Corpse Beast was killed, the entire field erupted into intense cheers!

"Victory!"

"Roar! Roar!"

The warriors beat their chests vigorously, celebrating the hard-won fruits of victory.

"Follow me to the rescue!" Zhao Feng shouted loudly. The battle on the cliff was not optimistic.

When dawn arrived, the battle had completely stopped, and the exhausted people had long since returned to the tribe.

"All, take orders, bow!"

On the spacious drill ground, the remaining warriors stood solemnly under the leadership of their leader, mourning deeply for the people lying neatly on the ground in front of them.

Those young people had closed their eyes forever. Some had broken bodies, some had eyes wide with anger, and some did not even have their bodies found.

For the honor of their leader, for the peace of their homeland, they died in battle!

"We will always remember them. Every year on this day, we will hold a grand sacrifice so that they may rest in peace in the heavens! They will always watch over us, making us invincible!"

Zhao Feng announced with a heavy heart; even so, it could not bring them back to life!

"Ding! Faith System module activated, planetary power upgraded, path of advancement opened."

The Planet Modification System had not made a sound for a long time since it went dormant. What exactly was happening?

Zhao Feng left the subsequent matters to the Shaman and returned to the Town Center alone to study the new changes.

After the System returned to himself, whenever there was an important notification, a red exclamation mark would appear in the upper right corner of the personal interface.

Zhao Feng clicked on the exclamation mark, and a notification appeared:

Affected by the host's spiritual energy, the Planet of the Dead has begun to breed Evolutionary Spirits. The planet is officially embarking on the path of evolution, and the quality of power is improving.

At the same time, the space around Taichu Star and the Planet of the Dead is showing distortion and tearing; please be aware, host.

The age of empires subsystem has been affected and new changes have appeared.

Clicking on the age of empires subsystem, indeed, a new building appeared.

Warrior Altar: Elite warriors who have undergone training and strengthening can perform sacrifices at the altar to gain new growth, with a power cap of low-stage Spirit Rank.

Note: Power is divided into Mortal Rank, Spirit Rank, Immortal Rank, Saint-Grade, and Grandmist Rank. Except for Grandmist Rank, each Rank is divided into three stages: low, mid, and high.

This important notification provided Zhao Feng with a lot of important knowledge; before this, there had never been a classification of power Ranks.

Furthermore, Evolutionary Spirits were actually breeding on the Planet of the Dead. This meant that this planet would gradually develop powers similar to spiritual energy or magic. In addition to bringing more surprises to the planet, it also brought big trouble for Zhao Feng.

Originally, according to the power of the age of empires System, by playing steadily, the entire planet would be modified in a year or two at most, and Zhao Feng's mission would be successfully completed, allowing him to return.

But with the addition of supernatural powers, it would definitely bring many variables.

In addition, the changes in the space near the two planets were also a trouble. Could it be that demonic creatures were going to appear again?

There was no use in thinking too much. Zhao Feng called up the data to observe the benefits brought by this great battle. First was the Planet Modification System, which had obtained a total of nearly one hundred thousand transformation points.

Then there was the age of empires subsystem, which thoughtfully provided a battle report.

A glorious victory!

Casualties: 11 warriors, 20 spear throwers, 14 Farmers, 27 auxiliary troops.

Battle Results: Eliminated 21,345 Corpse Beasts; the power of all remaining warriors has been upgraded to mid-stage Mortal Rank.

At the same time, Zhao Feng himself had also made great progress. Let's look at Zhao Feng's detailed personal situation.

Zhao Feng (System Host)

Biological Rank: Mortal Rank

Energy Rank: low-stage Spirit Rank

Energy Type: Spiritual Energy

Skills: Nine Palaces Visualization Method, True Qi Circulation Method; Gale Blade Technique (Beginner), Centipede-Piercing Spear Technique (Minor Achievement), Great Dragon Fist (Entry-level), Tree Flight (Minor Achievement), Stone Throwing Technique (Beginner).

The detailed personal interface was summarized more finely; even the Gale Blade Technique was included in the "Martial Canon."

After a long period of high-intensity combat, Zhao Feng's Martial Skills had also been greatly improved, significantly increasing his combat power.

The circulation of spiritual energy also caused the liquid spiritual energy in his Dantian to increase rapidly, saving him at least a month or so of hard cultivation.

Next, the development of the tribe would enter a period of high speed, as the Corpse Beasts in the surrounding area had basically been cleared out.

As long as the land and sky continued to be purified, the ecology would become better and better, and the completion of Zhao Feng's planetary modification mission would not be too far away.

The reproduction of the Spirit Light Bacteria would become faster and faster; the spring of the Planet of the Dead was almost here.
