After the guild's maximum number of members was increased to 6, many options came to mind for Lu Cang.

The guild already has warriors, mages, tanks, and assassins. If we follow the standard configuration, we still lack a ranged physical damage archer and a healer.

In terms of treatment, Lu Cang can temporarily fill in some of the gaps.

However, in terms of long-range attacks, apart from the White Deer being able to destroy things hundreds of kilometers away, there are no other means of long-range attacks.

In addition, Lu Cang also considered several other good candidates.

But these candidates are a million miles away from me, and even that's considered close. I can't recruit them even if I wanted to. I don't know how long this spot will remain vacant if I don't use it now.

Currently, it seems that Xiumi is indeed a good choice.

The Bow God's legacy, innate S-rank talent, and unique weapon—his current basic abilities alone are no weaker than those of the current Godslayers.

There aren't many archers who have inherited Luluwei's legacy; those chosen by the gods generally have guaranteed growth potential.

"Xiu Mi, my guild is short of an archer. How about joining my guild?" Lu Cang didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

Anyway, no matter how roundabout the approach, it all boils down to this topic.

It's better to be straightforward and make things clear.

"Your guild?"

"What special cats does your guild have?" Xiumi asked curiously, circling his tail.

Xiu Mi naturally noticed that these four human prodigies were all from the same guild, even Stone Zuya was from the same guild.

What they have in common is their strength; they are all on par with, or even surpass, that of someone who has inherited the legacy of the Bow God.

If you say the guild isn't special, XiuMi definitely won't believe it.

"It's hard to say directly what's special about it, but I can guarantee that if you join our guild, you will definitely become very strong. I can also give you everything that is suitable for you, even a powerful boost that Lulu the Bow cannot provide."

"Besides... it must be incredibly difficult for one person to complete the Bow God's legacy, right?"

"Without strong enough teammates, can you really defeat other competitors?" Lu Cang asked with a light laugh.

Xiumi's lips twitched slightly.

Does this person even know what he's going to do?

She wasn't the only one to inherit the legacy; there were other competitors as well.

Shumi wasn't sure if he could beat the other competitors.

Lu Cang's suggestion was really hard for Xiu Mi to refuse, especially after using the skill fusion with Bai Lu, Zu Ya's protection, and Cang Qiong's command. Xiu Mi couldn't even imagine himself fighting a high-difficulty dungeon alone.

Actually, when leaving the instance, the thought of inviting them to travel together flashed through Xiumi's mind.

However, due to the incident involving a fearless individual, the plan was ultimately abandoned.

While Xiumi really wanted to join this amazing guild, considering her own status, she coughed lightly, concealing the expectation in her eyes, and said, "Let's get this straight, meow! I might not be going the same way as you guys, meow!"

"Besides, your human race attacked one of our cities. If we join your human guild, wouldn't we be like traitors, meow?" Xiu Mi shrank back, wary.

Before making a decision, you must make things clear.

This sky is very strong, and now it's getting close to us.

Although the two appear to be about ten meters apart, this distance is practically negligible; the other would be instantly suppressed.

The heavens probably anticipated this as well, which is why they didn't send a message beforehand.

If I had been told these things beforehand, my first choice would have been to run far enough away to hide, create distance, and maintain that advantage before discussing anything further.

Lu Cang's distance left her little room for negotiation, and she had to be prepared to turn on him at any moment. This was the Illusionary Realm, and she had to be on guard no matter what.

"We'll go to the Twin Cities of White Jue. As for what you said about us attacking your cities, we can return them to you, in exchange for other cities. How about the goblin cities?" Lu Cang said with a light laugh.

Xiumi bit her lip, her tail circling around as she thought: The White Zetsu Twin Cities are the same destination we're heading to, meow.

However, regarding the matter of returning the city...

Actually, for the orcs, a city is not a very big deal.

Unlike humans, who have fewer cities (only four initial cities), orcs, with thousands of cities, losing one is really insignificant.

"Hmm, if the city could be returned... I don't care whose city it is, meow."

After all, the goblins are very weak.

The orcs' mindset is that the weak deserve to be beaten, and this idea is deeply ingrained in Xiumi's mind.

"However, I have established a guild among the orcs, so I will have to leave first if I want to join your guild."

"No matter how irresponsible we are, we are still the number one among the orcs."

"Our stance also represents the attitude of your human race and our orc race."

“Joining your guild means our two races are now allied, but you still stole our orcish relic.” Shumi wasn’t some clueless cat; she would seriously consider matters of great importance concerning her race.

Lu Cang stroked his chin, pretending to think, and after a moment gave his reply: "How about this, if we seize any sacred artifacts from other races in the future, and there are any suitable ones for you, we'll give them to you first, how about that?"

Upon hearing Lu Cang's suggestion, Xiu Mi was slightly taken aback, his mind momentarily blank.

What? This is the kind of compensation?

Come to think of it, your compensation plan always ends up hurting others!

The city was seized by the goblin tribe.

They even steal relics from other races! You yourselves, however, don't suffer any loss whatsoever!

"Oh, by the way, joining also allows you to enjoy this fruit."

Lu Cang tossed a fruit brimming with life to Xiu Mi.

What kind of cat is this?

"A fruit that adds one million to the maximum health points."

Upon hearing this, Xiumi's tail straightened up again.

Seeing Xiu Mi's reaction, Lu Cang maintained his smile and said, "An alliance between the orcs and humans isn't such a bad thing, is it?"

"Okay then, meow."

Xiumi was quite conflicted. The greatest temptation in the illusionary world was the temptation of power.

She really wanted to join the guild, but the only problem was the orcs. There were some racial issues that were troublesome, but now Lu Cang had dispelled all her concerns.

"As long as the city issue is resolved, our race should be fine."

"Okay, let's set off now and resolve this as soon as possible."

-------------------------------------

Leng Qingying bought Lu Cang a mount.

Lu Cang and the others changed into level 60 mounts, ten gilded blazing horses. Their hooves could leave behind golden-red flames, and the ground they stepped on would be left with faint gilded patterns that would disappear in about 3 seconds.

The mounts are cool, and aside from being expensive, they have almost no flaws. Each one costs 12 million gold coins.

Converted to cash, it's 1.2 billion. I wonder if the world's most expensive car is worth 1.2 billion.

This mount is considered a luxury item among luxury items at level 60.

Its speed is also top-notch; among level 60 mounts, few can rival its speed.

Even some rare mounts caught in the wild are hard to compare with it.

The game Fantasy World is different from other online games on Earth.

In other online games, NPCs can basically only sell you the lowest quality white equipment and the worst potions. Everything else needs to be crafted or obtained from dungeons.

However, in the Illusionary Realm, you can buy really good things from the NPCs. You don't have to worry about having money to spend. In the Illusionary Realm, you can easily spend all your gold coins.

Those cunning merchants always find a way to squeeze every last penny out of the players. After opening a teleportation point and buying ten mounts, the Godslayer Guild, which had 5 billion in funds, was left with only 3.8 billion.

They really spend money like water.

Half an hour later—

【Dayuan Castle】

The goblins, gazing at the six creatures lined up beneath the distant city walls, sounded the highest-level alarm bell in the city.

Ding ding ding ding—

The alarm bells rang, and countless goblins poured out of the city!

"The heavens!"

"It's Cang Qiong! Cang Qiong, the strongest human!"

"They've attacked!"

"Alert! Citywide alert!"

This is the highest level of war warning; when the alarm bells ring, it means the most terrifying crisis is about to arrive.

Looking at the goblin city before him, Lu Cang suddenly said, "Oh right, I forgot to ask, is a battle-damaged city acceptable?"

"This way it will be more efficient, and if the battle losses are acceptable, we can compensate with two more cities."

"What about Teyuan City and Qiyuan City near Dayuan City?"

Upon hearing Lu Cang's suggestion, Xiu Mi wagged its tail and thought to itself: Anyway, it's not like I'm the one building the city, so I can just leave it to the other members of the orc race to manage.

As long as you can capture the city, you'll only suffer short-term losses. In the long run, even if you raze the city to the ground, you'll still make a profit.

"Hmm...that works too."

He only needed to give the orcs an explanation. Whether the city was good or bad was not something he needed to worry about. Besides, three cities were definitely better than one.

"OK."

"Deer, annihilation black hole."

"Okay~" Bai Lu replied innocently, a happy smile appearing on her lips.

Then the chanting began, and complex incantations flowed from the white deer's mouth.

To date, Bai Lu's magic book has recorded two [Annihilation Black Holes], which can be cast instantly at any time.

However, Bai Lu did not choose the instant cast spell from the spellbook, but instead chanted slowly.

The incantation for annihilating a black hole is incredibly long and beautiful.

Once a magician learns a spell, he automatically learns its complex and difficult incantations, as if he has read them a million times.

Bai Lu is now enjoying the process of chanting incantations, as if she were praying, something a saint would do.

It perfectly matches Bai Lu's fantasy of a mage: elegant, dignified, and with a sense of ritual.

Ding ding ding ding ding—

Upon hearing the alarm, countless goblins rushed to the city walls, ready for battle.

But suddenly, the sky darkened.

Turning around abruptly, I discovered a black, vibrating sphere in mid-air blocking the sunlight.

In another instant.

The sphere suddenly expanded! In an instant, the pale black color covered the entire city, as if it were shrouded in darkness.

No, it wasn't just the entire city, but also the vast plains outside the city, and even the members of the Godslayer Guild were shrouded in this darkness.

The white deer whispered: "Destruction magic: Ice Tornado."

Annihilation Black Hole (LV: 5)

There will most likely be only two updates today.

I'm asking for leave in advance for the Spring Festival: I'll most likely be resting during the Spring Festival, and updates will be less frequent, but I'll still update at least 4,000 words per day. Everyone needs to celebrate the New Year, after all. (After all, I'm a "holiday-taking" author, and it's been a long time since I've made an excuse to take a break.)
