Chapter 657: Chapter 386: New Epic Series (4K)_2

"Harvest?"
"The Scarlet Mist Tides this time will recede at latest in four months, but..."
The Chairman paused, "I see crimson spreading, filth stretching out its claws, the real disaster might descend again in just a few years, by then..."
He said no more.
Tai Xuan had not experienced disasters of this magnitude.
Or rather, it was only at the end of the catastrophe that they were called by the world.
More than sixty years ago, over one hundred and thirty years ago, two hundred years ago, three hundred years ago, there occurred such a calamity, a filthy disaster that swept across the world.
Even superpower nations and military alliances were at risk of obliteration under such global disasters.
The catastrophe more than sixty years ago, saw a nation rivaling Tai Xuan sink into the taint.
"The Eternal World will never know peace."
"Or to say, even a superpower nation like Tai Xuan, is far, far from possessing the genuine power to stand unafraid against the storm."
"We must stride into the storm and swing our swords."
"With tiny blades, cut through, shatter that towering surge."
"Can we achieve this?"
The Chairman looked at the green-haired woman.
Without waiting for her response, he mused to himself, "We must succeed!"
...
The morning in Tianyuan City was calm, serene, with bright sunshine.
This was the peace they had just won by repelling and crushing the Monster Overlords.
Temporary peace.
Early in the morning, Mu Yuan went to the northern military camp of the city.
This camp was mainly occupied by the Human Race Troops, the Undead, the Snow Girls, and the Treeman Troops, each stationed within their own Special Troops Garrison.
Since the Human Race Troops did not have their own species-specific buildings, the average level of the elites was actually quite a bit lower than that of the Undead and the Treemen.
Many low-level Halberdier Guards and Divine Archers also had to spend Soul Sand to train.
To the east of the camp, a new area had been marked out a few days ago, named 'Special Troops Garrison.'
It was stationed with experimental species that Mu Yuan was trying to evolve.
Many species, especially High-order Troops, had limited information, and he was not clear what those species would become after evolution or what skills they would have.
Mu Yuan sought not Combat Power in his attempts to evolve new species.
The Tianyuan Corps did not have any obvious weaknesses at that time.
Even if there were, Combat Power could not be hastily developed in the short term. Only troops of the same species working together could form an Army Soul Corps capable of displaying formidable strength; a single new Epic-Level troop could not create substantial Combat Power.
Unless he could recruit someone very special and exceptionally talented.
What Mu Yuan wanted was functionality.
He walked into the camp.
Immediately, he saw two colossal creatures resembling two-story factory buildings—giant turtles.
'Colossal Rock Dragon Turtle'
'Grade: Epic One-Star'
'Skill: Protection of the Earth (Epic),...'
This was the result of Mu Yuan analyzing a vast amount of data and evolving a certain Superior Grade one-star troop—the stock of Remnant Souls from a previous defense battle, a war trophy that he could not bear to spend not just money, but also time to buy—into its current form.
At the moment, the Colossal Rock Dragon Turtles seemed merely six to seven meters tall, not quite as imposing, and in front of Sario, they were still just little brothers. But this was because the Colossal Rock Dragon Turtles were only at the First-order Professional Level.
They were still babies.
Mu Yuan checked the records; a Four-order Colossal Rock Dragon Turtle could be as vast as a great ship.
According to unreliable reports, some had seen an immense turtle bearing a city upon its back, rumored to be a fully matured Legendary Life form.
However, this piece of news was, after all, just a rumor, without even a picture to support it.
"The Colossal Rock Dragon Turtle possesses extraordinary protective capabilities, and with a little modification to its shell, we could even build some housing structures on top of it, most suitable for transport work. The only drawback is, turtles are not fast."
But once the Colossal Rock Dragon Turtle advances to Four-order, even if slow, it will still be slow among Four-order creatures.
Mu Yuan pondered, if he might not be able to buy a suitable transport vehicle, why not use the turtles as a replacement?
Although in terms of value, such a turtle would be much more expensive than a Superior Grade vehicle.
Mu Yuan stroked the huge and hard heads of the two Colossal Rock Dragon Turtles.
The two turtles made "woo woo woo" sounds that were not very smart.
```
Not the brightest indeed.
After all, they 'forced their growth' and had just awakened their self-consciousness when they were saddled with a huge debt of Contribution Points.
The garrison was quite empty, apart from two giant turtles and a squad of elite guards, it was just an open expanse.
But,
he had evolved another epic troop.
Where had it gone?
Mu Yuan looked left and right and soon spotted a few green leaves in a lonely open space in the distance.
The tender green branches and leaves swayed slightly, yet there wasn't a hint of greenery within dozens of meters around them.
Could it be any more obvious?
"Your ability to conceal your presence isn't bad, probably has something to do with racial talents, but the choice of hiding spot... Guess it's still not that smart. I hope the by-products shed from its body won't affect the IQ if eaten."
Mu Yuan walked up, grabbed the leaves, and pulled up whatever was buried in the soil like pulling up a radish.
Instantly,
a screech that could pierce the heavens was about to erupt.
All of a sudden, the radish-like life form with legs widened its eyes and stopped its gaping mouth that was about to scream.
"It, it's the leading human, your, your humble Ginseng pays respect."
Indeed, it wasn't very bright.
But in some ways, it was still smarter than the two turtles next door.
'Ginseng King Yeguo'
'Grade: Epic One Star'
'Skills/Talents: King of Ginseng's Gift (Epic), Essence of Flora, Soul Screech, Earth Escape, Earth Extraction, Energy Fruit, ...'
There were three Ginseng Kings, evolved from the Rare Three-Star Level troop 'Ginseng Baby.'
Yeguo was the smartest of the three.
It had significantly more skills than the other two Ginsengs.
The name Yeguo was also its own choice. For no particular reason, it enjoyed eating coconut fruit and drinking coconut juice.
Heaven knows why a ginseng would have such preferences.
Like the two turtle brothers, the Ginseng Kings were also born with a heavy debt, but unlike their neighbors, the Ginsengs could work and earn money from a young age. .net
They were treasures all over!
They could continuously produce rare medicinal materials. Ginseng whiskers were useful for strengthening the physique, enhancing the spirit, and refining the body.
This is the Ginseng King!
They had to work to repay debts at a young age, which seemed somewhat cruel, but they were troops, and with that in mind, everything made sense.
The Dead Bones, Duo Lai, had to risk their lives fighting monsters from a young age.
The Ginseng Kings could repay their debts without leaving home, what a joy that was.
Ginseng King Yeguo hung its head as if life had no more meaning.
For the new series of functional troops, Mu Yuan had only evolved two so far.
It wasn't that he was just trying things out.
He had analyzed a variety of data before recruiting the troops and evolving them.
After evolution, a period of skill sampling and analysis followed, and finally, he decided whether to evolve to an Epic level.
Evolution Points were quite precious; he needed to accumulate them slowly to evolve a Legendary being.
He couldn't issue too many Epic loans either.
Besides,
Any troop, once recruited by oneself and evolved, must be one's responsibility through and through.
Now, among the Nature series troops, there were two special products, 'Ginseng King' and 'Nature Spirit.'
Among them, the veterans 'Hua Ling' and 'Wood Spirit' from the Nature Spirit had evolved into Epic Two Star beings not long ago and awakened the Epic Skill 'Dew of Life.'
——
'Dew of Life'
'Description: Hua Ling can gather, birth, and disperse life energy, condensing the Superior Grade treasure 'Dew of Life,' which has the ability to heal injuries quickly and replenish energy consumption.'
'Also, if Hua Ling spends a large amount of time and its own energy, there is a small chance of condensing an Epic Grade treasure 'Droplet of Life.' The Droplet of Life has the capability of conceptual recovery, able to eradicate all injuries in an extremely short time and restore the user to their peak condition.'
'Note: Condensing the Droplet of Life requires a long time, and forced condensation will damage the essence of the Nature Spirit itself.'
