at the same time.

The regional chat channel started flashing.

It's truly a strange thing that so many bloodthirsty beasts appeared in this wilderness overnight!

Haven't you noticed? Our regional channel, which had 200 members, now has 194 members.

[Just two days ago, I remember there were only two hundred people. How come six lords have died so quickly?]

[It wasn't just the wild beasts that mutated; yesterday afternoon, I also saw over a thousand high elves who had lost their minds, attacking every living thing in their path.]

[Upstairs, how did you survive?]

If we can't beat them, can't we at least outrun them?

[Something unusual is bound to happen; it's highly likely that some powerful monster is behind it.]

Are there any old lords who have been here for years in this area? Please, kill those monstrous monsters and restore peace and tranquility to our wilderness.

As the world's leading superpower, the United States will fulfill its duty as the world's policeman. If any evil forces emerge, our American lord will step in!

The Great Cold Netherworld will forever follow in the footsteps of the United States, upholding peace and stability in the Land of Redemption.

[South Koreans, how can a nation like yours, which loves to act subservient, ever change so that you can stand up straight?]

After closing the chat channel, Su Bai stood there, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

So many mutated beasts have appeared in this wilderness.

There must be some special entity behind this, with the mental attack ability to manipulate will.

The image of the evil archbishop who had attacked the territory during the beast tide flashed through Su Bai's mind.

"Could it be related to him?"

Open the system log, search for and retrieve the relevant records.

The Evil Archbishop

[Quality: Excellent]

[Level: Lv22]

[Introduction: A devout archbishop who originally believed in light and order was corrupted by evil forces and became a servant of the Lord of Darkness]

"Just as I thought, they all share a common characteristic: they have been corrupted by evil forces!"

"The source of the mutation between wild beasts and natives may lie here!"

"It's definitely related to this so-called Lord of Darkness!"

Su Bai's gaze was clear and steady, and he felt no fear.

On the contrary, he felt a sense of excitement.

If you manage to defeat such a powerful boss, the rewards you'll receive will definitely be very generous.

A synthesized mechanical voice rang in my ears.

[Hint: Evolution Master Abathur has successfully absorbed the essence of the high elf's corpse]

[Hint: The conversion yields 1200 units of biomass]

[Note: Under Abathur's "Efficient Conversion" talent, you will gain an additional 600 biomass.]

[Note: Enemies damaged by the Poisonous Nest will drop 50% more Biomass, totaling 200]

[Congratulations, Lord! With the enhanced effect of the prayer, the amount of biomass obtained has increased tenfold.]

Biomass+

"Since we acquired Abathur, the amount of biomass has increased rapidly and is accumulating very quickly."

Su Bai smiled broadly.

The system's synthesized voice sounded again.

[Note: Congratulations, Lord Su Bai! Thanks to the effects of the Corpse Essence, your hero Abathur has reached Lv9.]

[Note: After the upgrade, Abathur's strength, speed, brain development, and genetic research capabilities will be enhanced.]

[Note: After upgrading, Talent 2 - Efficient Conversion is enhanced, with a 65% chance to double the biomass production.]

[Note: After upgrading, Skill 1 - Hatching Poisonous Nests is strengthened, with a maximum number of uses increased by 2, and deals greater damage to enemy units upon explosion.]

[Note: After upgrading, Skill 2 - Group Healing is enhanced. Allied biological units within 4500 meters will receive immediate healing, and the healing effect will be strengthened.]

[Note: After upgrading, your combat power level will increase by one level, reaching level 12]

The maximum number of times a highly poisonous lair can be stored has been increased from 16 to 18.

Injured springtails, hydralisks, and cockroaches, after being healed by the queen, become lively and energetic again.

"Kerrigan, you lead 1,000 Zerglings, 500 Hydralisks, and 500 Roaches to continue sweeping away the beasts around the territory, but be careful not to stray too far."

Su Bai turned around and gave the order.

"Yes, sir!"

Kerrigan led her troops away from the territory.

“Abathur, surround the territory and hatch highly venomous nests,” Su Bai continued.

"Understood, my lord!"

Abathur left his territory.

Its eyes flashed with green light, and its three pairs of forelimbs moved rapidly.

Clumps of green, sac-like substance were rapidly expelled from his mouth.

They fly to the outskirts of their territory, burrow underground, and grow rapidly.

"With such a ring of landmines protecting it, the safety of the territory has increased dramatically!"

"If the enemy sneaks in at night, we can provide early warning and protection!"

As he spoke, a sense of security welled up in Su Bai's heart.

Suddenly, two lines of information popped up in the system.

[Hint: The number of high elves killed has reached a certain level, earning you the medal "High Elf Slayer"!]

[Note: It has been placed in the storage space. Please check it yourself!]

"I was awarded a Kobold Hunter Medal earlier."

"Now it's another High Elf Slayer Medal, this is interesting."

Su Bai smiled as he checked the storage space.

[Medal: High Elf Slayer]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Description: When equipped, the lord's soldiers will have their attack power increased by 10% when fighting against high elves, but the high elves in the Land of Redemption will have their hatred towards the lord increased by 5%.]

Current status: Not wearing.

"No need to even consider it, you absolutely must wear it!"

Su Bai did not hesitate and chose to wear it.

[Medal: High Elf Slayer, successfully donned!]

Five percent of hatred is insignificant.

Su Bai actually hoped that the hatred level would double and that more high elves would join in.

In this way, the accumulation of resources and the upgrading of the insect swarm can be greatly accelerated.

...

...

Thirty kilometers away.

A dilapidated church.

The priest, seated high on the skull chair, had specks of green light emanating from his dark pupils.

"Those useless high elves finally proved their worth before they died!"

"The exact location of human lord Su Bai has been confirmed!"

"Anyone who dares to disrespect the great Lord of Darkness will suffer torment a hundred times worse than death!"

"At midnight, follow me on my personal expedition!"

"Target: Southwest direction, 30 kilometers away, human territory!"

The black-robed cultists stood on either side, raising their skulls with green flames dancing in their eye sockets.

Cross your arms and place them in front of your chest.

"Embrace the darkness, sacrifice your souls, we are the devout servants of the Lord of Darkness, swearing to fight to the death for our master!"

The priest slowly stood up, opened his arms, and his priestly robes fluttered without wind.

A chilling, deathly atmosphere suddenly erupted, sweeping out in all directions.

One by one, goblins and kobolds with bloodshot eyes, like walking corpses, converged on the dilapidated church from different directions.
