Chapter 294: Chapter 228: Homnd Crystal LV6! Recruiting Magicians!


    “Two tasks? There’s actually just one task, to go to ck Tower Mountain and activate the giant homeworld crystal!”


    In the underground passage, Chu He listened to the voice in his ear and shook his head, choosing to decline.


    “With my current power, I can barely protect myself, let alone go to the top of ck Tower Mountain.”


    “Beast tide, huh? It seems there aren’t many students left in the secret realm, otherwise, the principal wouldn’t have personally issued the task…”


    He shook his head and continued to immerse himself in thoughts on how to expand his homeworld.


    Meanwhile, inside a city protected by countless giant trees, Cui Xiabing looked at the dense swarm of alien beasts outside the city walls and shook her head with a bitter smile.


    “Setting a task to explore ck Tower Mountain at this time, how could it possibly bepleted!”


    “Hang on, hold on for as long as you can!”


    Seeing the soldiers fighting bitterly, especially the hero Ran Dao surrounded by dozens of earth-dragon tanks and gale mantises, her gaze became firm.


    After a few moments, a long and deste chanting sound suddenly echoed in the ears of all the soldiers on the battlefield.


    They saw their lord, Cui Xiabing, raising her hands to the sky as waves of green light radiated from her in all directions.


    Even behind her, there appeared the phantom of a giant tree.


    The giant tree was about a hundred feet tall, lush and covering thousands of miles, like a dome and like a cover.


    Almost at the same time, light green raindrops fell from the sky,nding on the ground.


    Serenity!!!


    All the soldiers under Cui Xiabing who were bathed in this green drizzle felt their injuries visibly healing at a significant speed.


    Even their spirits were continually restored, their morale skyrocketing.


    “Kill!”


    Ran Dao also sensed this healing energy that strengthened him. He immediately let out a shout, killed the few tank earth-dragons that had besieged him, and once again faced the gale mantis falling from the sky.


    The battle raged all around!


    “Boom!”


    Elsewhere in the ck fog.


    Zhuang Shuai pinched his slightly stiff face, grinned, and said, “Inspect ck Tower Mountain and activate the giant homeworld crystal? I’m the man for this job!”


    “Brothers! Let’s go, shake off the alien beasts behind us. I, Master Zhuang, will take you to enjoy good food and drink!”


    Behind him, a hundred soldiers had now been reduced to just over twenty.


    But these soldiers were incredibly excited. Under the contrast of their ck skin, all that could be seen were lines of shining teeth.


    Moreover, this all-ck skin served as a natural camouge in the ck fog.


    Apart from a few alien beasts with particrly keen sense of smell, the average alien beast couldn’t detect their presence…


    “Thank you, my lord!”


    “My lord, could we have some more food? I’m so hungry!”


    “Yes, my lord, we’ve been running with you in this ck fog for three or four days now, and so many of our brothers have perished…”


    Zhuang Shuai said confidently, “Brothers, keep going! Once we find ck Tower Mountain, I will arrange for you all to feast for three days!”


    “Go!”


    “My lord? What’s wrong?” Saddell asked curiously.


    Zheng Cheng said, “Saddell, do you know about ck Tower Mountain? There’s a giant homeworld crystal there.”


    “I know.”


    Saddell said, “This ismon knowledge among us people of the deste, it’s thergest homeworld crystal connecting our deste, and through it, we deste people can freely teleport to Jasha Ind.”


    “Unfortunately, Jasha Ind is surrounded by countless alien beasts, so we can’t reach Jasha Ind.”


    Zheng Cheng’s eyes shed and said, “What if we activate that homeworld crystal…”


    “Absolutely not, my lord!”


    Saddell hurriedly said, “Once the homeworld crystal is activated, the alien beasts here could enter our deste! With our current power, we simply can’t resist the alien beasts…”


    “So that’s it…”


    Zheng Cheng hesitated, “If that giant homeworld crystal has such a significant drawback, then why would Senior Kang Yongchang want me to activate it?”


    Once activated, the deste will face a full-scale invasion by the alien worms, and we may be utterly annihted!


    “Master, master…” Saddell said softly, “Are you nning on going up ck Tower Mountain?”


    “Yes.”


    Zheng Cheng said directly, “I just received a task to go to ck Tower Mountain and activate the giant homeworld crystal.”


    “Ah… then, our…”


    “Don’t worry for now, there’s still plenty of time, we should n carefully.” Zheng Chengughed, “The priority now is to improve our power and recruit more heroes.”


    “By your ount, that giant crystal is surrounded by countless alien beasts, and there’s a big chance there are nine-star beasts in there.”


    “With our current manpower, going there is like sending them a meal.”


    “Even if we’re going, we need to be well prepared.”


    “Alright, alright… my Lord.”


    Only then did Saddell feel at ease.


    Meanwhile, the homeworld crystal behind the two of them suddenly emitted a bright light, leading to some change in the crystal.


    Deep blue light gradually covered half of the crystal’s surface.


    Zheng Cheng nced over, “The Homeworld Crystal has been upgraded to LV6!”


    He immediately took out the blueprint for the Griffin Cage and chose to build it next to the Armored Martial Art Soldier’s barracks.


    As for the Hero’s Altar, it would bepleted in just a few more minutes.


    He first walked over to the Homeworld Crystal to check the specific attributes after it was upgraded to LV6.


    [Name: Homeworld Crystal]


    [Attribute: Space-Time Rift]


    [Function: Summon corresponding race life]


    [Host: Zheng Cheng]


    [Level: LV6]


    [Current Unit: 1000/3000]


    [Resources: Wood*24550, Iron ore*14555, Life crystal*8500, Space crystal*650]


    [Affiliated Buildings: cksmith’s Shop*1, Wall*6, Burrow*85, Arrow Tower*218]


    [Durability: 10000/10000]


    [Prompt: With 20000 units of iron ore and 3000 units of space crystal, it can be upgraded to LV7]


    Upon clicking to summon soldiers, his vision was filled with a sh, and a page of attributes appeared immediately.


    All of them were six-star rated units!


    [Current Avable Unit 1: Shield-Sword Guard.]


    [Shield-Sword Guard: Six-star units, specializing in strength and constitution, equipped with Thornshield and two-handed broadsword, each recruitment requires 8 units of iron and 12 units of life crystals, limit to recruit up to 200.]


    [Current Avable Unit 2: Court Mage.]


    [Court Mage: Six-star unit, specializing in spirit, proficient in earth, fire, wind, water magic randomly, each recruitment requires 20 units of life crystals, limit to recruit up to 50.]


    [Current Avable Unit 3: Heavy Armored Cavalry.]


    [Heavy Armored Cavalry: Six-star unit, specializing in constitution and strength,es with a warhorse, armor, iron spear, andnce, each recruitment requires 10 units of iron and 15 units of life crystals, limit to recruit up to 200.]


    “Hmm?”


    Zheng Cheng was perplexed, “Are there limitations on the number of six-star units?”


    Shadaier at his side replied, “Yes, my lord. Six-star units are the main force of our, so there’s a limited amount. Only a portion of them are avable for each recruitment.”


    “As for seven-star units, their number is even fewer, especially mages and mysterious units…”


    “Mysterious units? What are they?”


    After thinking for a moment, Shadaier replied, “I am not quite sure. I only know these units all possess special abilities like prophecy from prophets and prayer abilities from our desert Imams in Cann Desert…”


    “I see…” An idea then suddenly urred to Zheng Cheng, he quickly said, “So six-star units have limitations on recruitment quantity, but the six-star Griffin cage we just built doesn’t seem to have any limitations.”


    “Doesn’t this mean that as long as we have enough resources, we can recruit arge number of Griffin Knights!”


    “All we need are low-star units with basic attributes reaching the standard. I can summon as many of these basic units as I wish!”


    Shadaier seemed taken aback, “Well… it seems so…”


    Zheng Cheng gave the instruction immediately: “Recruit mages first! Recruit all 50 mages.”


    As his voice fell, the homnd crystal in front of them suddenly emitted a blinding light.


    The next moment, fifty figures d in long robes and holding staffs appeared in front of Zheng Cheng.


    Court Mages!


    Thankfully, with the upgrade of the homnd crystal, the area of the Main City also increased considerably.


    Otherwise, with so many people appearing all at once, it would be quite packed.


    Zheng Cheng scrutinized the group of mages. Each was wearing a white robe and holding identical staves, looking like standard equipment. In addition, all them had a special badge pinned on the left side of their chest.


    These badges were in the semnce of mes or water droplets, distributing into four kinds.


    While Zheng Cheng was evaluating the group of mages, the one leading them, a man in his thirties with gold embroidery on his robe and sporting a me badge on his chest, stepped forward and said reverently:


    “I am Beck Rnd, the leader of the Court Mages from the Purple Bauhinia Empire of the Wastnd. I am honored to meet you, chosen one!”


    “Rnd?”


    Before Zheng Cheng had a chance to speak, Shadaier suddenly asked, “You’re a Rnd? From the Royal Family of the Purple Bauhinia Empire?”


    “Nothing more than a lucky individual born into an imperial family.” Beck Rnd replied with a smile, “You must be Princess Shadaier of the Tianmo n of the Golden Scorpion Family, Cann Desert. I heard that the Princess was recruited by the chosen one, but I never thought I would meet you here.”


    “Your father, the great Golden Scorpion King Morton, would be proud of you!”


    “Father…”


    Shadaier hesitated for a moment before asking, “How is our homnd?”


    Beck shook his head, “It’s still in a dire situation, but for some reason, the attack from alien bugs has suddenly slowed down, giving us a short respite.”


    “Some think it’s due to some mysterious incident on Jasha Ind which caused this situation.”


    “So, our three major cities as well as the Golden Scorpion family mobilized the elite legions within their influence, ready to be summoned to Jasha Ind at any moment.”


    “Unexpectedly, the first to respond to the summons was our Court Mage legion.”


    Only then did Beck’s tone fluctuate, “Only one week has passed, and a chosen one can already summon six-star units.”


    “This is… unimaginable!”


    Shadaier looked up, a triumphant smile emerging on her face. “Hehehe, Uncle Beck, let me introduce our lord to you!”


    “Lord Zheng Cheng!”


    “He will be the savior of our Wastnd. He is the chosen one, destined by fate!”


    “I believe in him!”


    “The savior? The chosen one?”


    Beck’s tone returned to its usual calmness, his eyes looked evenly at Zheng Cheng, “Zheng Cheng… sir, Princess Shadaier is a hero. We ordinary people will naturally believe in anyone she approves of.”


    “I hope you really can be the ‘savior’ and ‘chosen one’ as the princess said, and save our homnd!”


    “I’ll do my best,” Zheng Cheng nodded. “By the way, you’re a mage, not a hero, right?”


    Beck shook his head, “Lord Zheng Cheng, I am just an ordinary mage, not a hero.”


    “What you want to ask should be the difference between us ordinary mages and heroes.”


    “Yes…”
