Chapter 142: 142: Collecting the Golden Dragon Statues

He cleaned up the battlefield and made sure there were no other gains.

Toji Hisami also put away the dragon claw.

Although the dragon blood essence of this item had been collected by him, the remaining dragon scales, muscles, bones, skin, and flesh were all first-class materials.

The golden dragon tearing apart space gave Toji Hisami a wake-up call.

With his discovery of the Mist Pillar, the lords had found a way to end the invasion.

In the future, more and more stone pillars would be destroyed, and the spatial power in the foggy area would gradually return.

At that time, the guardian beasts of all major golden altars would reappear.

He had now offended the golden dragon. If he did not get enough golden dragon statues and profits before the spatial power returned completely, he feared that he would encounter the true form of the golden dragon again.

Setting aside his use of the five-star continuum, combining the power of five knowledges allowed him to chop off one of the opponent’s arms.

However, facing an arm and facing an entire giant dragon were two completely different concepts.

If a level 100 giant dragon were to rush out, ten Toji Hisamis would not be a match.

Time was very urgent for him now, so he gathered his team and rushed to the next altar.

During this period, Toji Hisami also encountered some ordinary altars, but he ignored them completely.

At this point, the golden altars were the sole goal!

With more golden dragon statues in hand, the guidance became clearer, and soon he destroyed two more ordinary-sized golden altars.

The items dropped by each golden altar were different, but the golden dragon statue was definitely present.

The number of drops ranged between 1 and 3. From those two altars, Toji Hisami collected ten statues, finally gathering the full set.

At those two altars, he also obtained a level unblocking book and an exclusive camp building card.

However, a single level unblocking book could no longer increase his level limit.

The status panel prompted him that he needed to collect three books to unlock levels again, and the next Rank One level cap would be level 70.

Therefore, Toji Hisami put away the unsealing book first and left it for later.

As for the exclusive camp building card, this item could directly generate an exclusive building corresponding to the lord’s camp.

Toji Hisami belonged to the balanced system, so using it would naturally produce an exclusive building for the balanced camp.

At his current territory level, only the Exclusive Buildings and the Balance Temple could be used.

If he used this item, there was a certain chance he could obtain a new balanced building in advance.

All in all, the benefits were quite substantial.

"Spatial fluctuations have begun to return. It seems the number of destroyed fog pillars has approached a critical point," Toji Hisami said, sighing after sensing the changes in the surrounding space.

Fortunately, he had acted quickly and gathered the golden dragon statues first. Otherwise, he would definitely have suffered a massive loss this time.

Toji Hisami did not intend to explore the remaining golden altars, as there was a high probability that the golden dragon’s projections had begun to arrive.

If the creature encountered Toji Hisami, there was no telling if it would go berserk.

Increasing the risk for nothing was simply not worth it.

After the golden dragon statues were gathered together, they automatically merged into one, resting heavy and palm-sized in his hand.

[Golden Dragon Statue (Complete)]

[Can be converted into a dragon beast’s lair. One to five dragon heads can be recruited per week, and the effect can be improved through strengthening.]

"Let’s go back and clean up the ordinary altars we encountered along the way."

The team immediately turned around. Although Toji Hisami had not touched the ordinary altars along the way, he had laid down beacons.

Searching was no longer a problem. Compared to the golden altars, the yield of ordinary altars was rather average.

However, it was a process of accumulation. If nothing else, ordinary altars could drop territory crystals.

Territory crystals could improve territory levels and were essential resources at this stage.

In the process of sweeping through, the environment within the fog was gradually recovering.

North District.

Renn led his team to find a depression beneath a mountain wall to rest and recover.

In his hand, he held a black statue shining with a hazy brilliance.

"Hehehe, although I don’t know what happened in the mist, the fact that the guardian beasts of the High Level altars are gone is really great."

"This thing can actually summon a phantom beast lair. I don’t know how powerful it is, but I’ll try it when I get back to the territory."

"I’ll let Toji Hisami and Boris see it when the time comes. I’m not just a low-level worker."

Renn put away the statue. He was now a level 50 lord.

The elites behind him were all formidable and powerful, far stronger than when they had first entered the fog.

Feeling the changes in the mist, the sly smile on Renn’s face slowly faded.

He could sense that they were not far from the edge of the foggy area.

As someone capable of mastering space magic, Renn was no worse than Toji Hisami—who possessed knowledge of dimensional science—when it came to perceiving spatial energy.

Although he had taken many detours and gotten lost several times, he had finally succeeded in traversing the fog between the East District and the North District.

Renn, who was about to return to his initial region, rarely felt a bit nervous.

After his departure, the situation in the North District had indeed become unpredictable.

Although Victor had been killed by Toji Hisami in Moana, it did not mean there were no other top figures in the North District.

In such a large region with 800 lords, how could none of them make it into the top 100?

Setting aside others, as for Willard of the Rhodes family, Renn believed he was definitely capable of entering the top fifty.

However, the reality was that in the overall summary of Rank One rankings, no one from the North District appeared on the list.

This gave him an ominous feeling.

After all, he had originated from the North District. After returning to the main world in the future, his territory would most likely be placed in the North District.

Without a clear understanding of the situation there, he truly could not rest easy.

After resting for a while and eating his fill, Renn immediately led his team and set off again.

Carefully avoiding spatial anomalies, the fog in front of him finally thinned after several hours.

Several heroes stepped forward to protect Renn.

The elite soldiers drew their weapons and armor, forming a defensive battle array, and everyone cautiously walked out of the mist.

"Hiss!"

As soon as he stepped out of the fog, Renn felt a chill that made his entire body tremble.

As far as the eye could see, the entire area ahead was filled with a dense aura of death, and even the sky had turned gray.

In some places, the death aura was so thick that it formed a mist-like mist, and blurry figures could even be seen behind the dense fog of death energy.

Those figures moved at a sluggish pace, exuding a rather eerie presence.

Renn’s expression became extremely serious.

He came from a noble background and had been forced to receive extensive knowledge and education since childhood.

Although this had resulted in his rebellious and sharp-tongued character, it undeniably laid a solid foundation for him.

Just by seeing the scene in front of him, he could tell what was happening.

"The Undead Cataclysm!"

Renn could not help but gasp.

How could an undead cataclysm occur in the North District? He had never heard of any lord developing an undead class.

Moreover, even if an undead class had been developed, to expand it into such a massive undead cataclysm, how many people must have been killed to form it?

This was transforming the environment into a domain of dead spirits!

Here, normal living beings would be invaded by death energy every moment, leading to a continuous decline in status and vitality.

Even standing still could cause one to be eroded and die.

"Lord, something is wrong, we are surrounded," his heroic soul guard whispered beside him, staring sharply into the distance.

Sure enough, behind the thick fog of death, more and more figures emerged.

Judging by their direction of movement, they were heading right for Renn’s position.

He snapped his head around and immediately spotted a death bird landing on a dead tree not far away!

The death bird stared at them with unblinking scarlet eyes, making Renn tremble all over.

The hero beside him also noticed the death bird, raising his hand to fire an energy blast that instantly obliterated it.

However, as the death bird screeched before dying, a flock of birds burst out from the surrounding area!

A strange rattling sound echoed in the distance as footsteps resounded, their intervals accelerating from slow to fast!

Everyone felt a surge of cold air rush from their spines straight to their heads.

The dense fog of death energy exploded, and Renn’s pupils shrank!

"Retreat!!!"
