YM778.TV Chapter 292 - 292 Special Rule
However, Su Wan was in a dilemma. Other Lords lamented about not having resources to summon more troops and heroes. Instead, Su Wan worried about having too many.
There were more than enough troops in Su Wan’s territory, and they all consumed resources. Each recruitment cost her tens and thousands of resources. That was not a small amount.
Her profits were decreasing. She had to pay a 30% handling fee when trading in any market. This made a dent in her income. She wasn’t even rich, to begin with!
“We are almost done,” said Xu Yuan. “Let’s hold on a little longer so that we can level up.”
Having seen the Seraphim and the Angel Army, Xu Yuan was worried that Su Wan still wasn’t strong enough to face them.
The six-winged Seraphim had fled with his army when he saw Xu Yuan. However, if it was Su Wan at that time, the Seraphim would’ve had no trouble dealing with her.
Su Wan muttered in agreement. She led a few of her troops and went to kill monsters and farm for resources.
Xu Yuan didn’t accompany her. Su Wan studying the map to discover new areas gave him painfully low experience points that he felt it wasn’t worth it. It would be better to sleep and gain experience points instead.
He was frustrated that he couldn’t move beyond Level 70 until the Territory Core was upgraded.
The time passed quickly. They could finally fulfill one of the requirements for territory upgrade.
[Territory Core Upgrade Requirements]
[Land Area: 10 square kilometers (not yet achieved)]
[Total amount of resources: 2000 tons (not yet achieved)]
[Possesses 20 buildings (not yet achieved)]
[The population has to reach 20000 (achieved)]
The population had increased greatly. It had finally reached 20,000. In terms of territory security, Su Wan had worked hard to clear the surrounding area. There were only a few wild animals around.
Everyone knew about Su Wan and her territory. No one wanted to mess with her.
The Lords residing near her territory had applied for relocation. They wanted to get as far away from Su Wan as possible. They felt that their Territory Core would be destroyed if they got in the way of Su Wan’s territorial expansion.
The Night Elves and Night Devil Bees had expanded their patrol range to about 30 kilometers. They didn’t find any formidable enemies within that range.
The Night Elves were good at hiding. The Night Devil Bees could launch poisonous attacks from the air. The security and defense of the territory were strong for now. There wouldn’t be any problems when expanding the territory unless the Light-Types deliberately caused trouble.
When Su Wan, Shi Linglong, Zhao Qingrong, and Lin Yao all expanded their territory toward each other, they would then think of moving outward.
The underground area was also unstable. Many creatures hid below and tried to attack them. However, if they could prevent the tacks from reaching the surface, all would be well.
“This is the map we obtained from the enemy last time. There might be many treasures hidden in this area.” Su Wan had gotten the map from one unlucky Lord, who had dropped it while fleeing.
She looked in the direction where they were supposed to go. She had brought along the nine-headed Hydra, the Red-Eyed Black Demon, the Third Elven Prince, and Eliza.
The Night Devil Bees had also followed her.
Xu Yuan wasn’t interested in exploring the area, so he stayed behind in the territory. He didn’t want to move from where he slept, no matter how much Su Wan acted coquettishly in front of him.
Su Wan had let him be when he didn’t budge. If there was a danger, they could rush back to him for help, after all.
Su Wan looked at the map in her hands and at the place where the treasure was supposed to be. Her eyes lit up. She took her demonic dragon form and flew ahead. The Night Devil Bees followed. They were in charge of her safety.
Su Wan had a headache. She wanted to take Xu Yuan to the underground area and rob resources. However, Xu Yuan had flatly refused. They didn’t have enough resources to do all the things they wanted to do to improve the territory.
Su Wan had put that aside for now and opted to go on a treasure hunt. If they found treasures to make them stronger, they could always go back to explore the mythical ruin and earn more resources.
After two hours of flying, she gestured to her troops to stop.
Su Wan confirmed the spot on the map with something in the distance. “We’re here,” she said.
A few meters away, a colorful wave descended from the sky. It was like a force field around something special. They got nearer to look at it more carefully. Inside the force field, they saw water suspended in the air.
It was as though the water flowed down without being affected by gravity. The floating lake had a split in the middle, but the water didn’t spill out. Instead, they remained in their fixed path. It looked magical.
A system notification sounded in her mind.
[This is the place where laws don’t apply. During the battle between the gods, such places were split away and preserved to keep order in the world. This shattered land holds mysterious lifeforms. It might also hold unique treasures or artifacts. Explore with caution.]
This place was a remnant of the war between the gods! Su Wan raised her head to look at the flowing water. She was excited.
She led her troops forward. The closer she got to the lake, the more amazed she was. How was it that the lake just floated in the air? What kind of power would it take to create something like that?
Su Wan wondered if only creatures like Xu Yuan or the Fire Elemental Lord had that kind of power. Unfortunately, she needed Xu Yuan, or she had to level up massively to explore the place.
[Level of threat: Medium]
[Special Rule: Unable to use spatial magic.]
The rule made Su Wan stop and reflect. She looked up at the lake floating above the ground. If it crashed down, even a giant wouldn’t be able to withstand the impact.
