"My lord! There are so many monsters coming at us!"
Qin Guang's panicked voice sounded from outside the Lord's house.
…
Zhou Zhou was stunned; he walked out of the lord's wooden house and came to the protective barrier.
Bao Xiu'er was there too.
"Greetings, my Lord!" Bao Xiu'er smiled.
Then, she took a closer look at Zhou Zhou's clothes and realized that there was no damage.
She could not help but look away regretfully.
Zhou Zhou ignored her and looked at the fog monsters outside the protective barrier.
They were still the desert fog lizards.
However, there were more desert fog lizards this time, about 70 to 80 of them, baring their fangs at Zhou Zhou and the others in the territory, hitting the protective barrier from time to time.
"It's not night time yet. Why are there suddenly so many desert fog lizards?"
Zhou Zhou did not panic since he had the novice Lord's protection barrier and a Green bronze-tier elementary grade strength.
He was just a puzzled.
"These fog monsters seem to have hatred in their eyes. They must have come here specifically."
"Has my lord's soldiers killed many of their kind recently?"
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind Zhou Zhou, and then came to the spot slightly behind him.
It was the Ashburn Hall, the owner of the alchemy workshop!
"You mean they're here to avenge their companions?" Zhou Zhou asked.
"I'm afraid that's not all. My lord has probably provoked the scarlet lord behind this group of desert fog lizards."
Ashburn said.
"Scarlet lord? What's that?"
Zhou Zhou was stunned.
"My lord, did you realize that you encountered very few types of fog monsters when you killed these fog monsters recently?" Ashburn asked instead of replying.
Zhou Zhou nodded.
In fact, he had encountered only one type — the desert fog lizard!
Zhou Zhou almost thought that this was a world ruled by the desert fog lizards if not because he saw the other lords chatting about encountering other types of monsters on the world channel.
"It's normal. In the Higher Continent, most of the fog monsters use their race as the basis and designate an area as their living area. Then, they gather together to live."
"Other than being bloodthirsty, they are also extremely xenophobic."
"Therefore, there are almost no other monster species in their living area."
"That's why His lordship has only encountered one type of monster, the desert fog lizard as my lord's exploration range has yet to leave the territory of the desert fog lizard."
Zhou Zhou came to a realization.
Ashburn went on.
"And when monsters gather together, it's very easy to give birth to a 'leader' amongst them."
"A leader-level monster will be favored by the Crimson Overlord and given powerful strength and authority similar to that of a lord!"
"Such lords are the scarlet lords!
As the lords of all races are chosen by the Supreme Will, so are the scarlet lords chosen by the Crimson Overlord."
"These two supreme existences have been fighting against each other on the High Continent for millions of years."
"In general, the Supreme Will is at a slight disadvantage. The arrival of the Myriad Realm Lords would probably become a turning point to the current situation of the High Continent."
Zhou Zhou nodded and didn't think too much about it.
The matter between these two was too far away from him, a Green bronze-tier elementary grade.
He pondered for a moment before he handed the 500 blood origin flowers and the other materials he had just traded to Ashburn.
"Make these materials into potions and mechanostriders as soon as you can. I have a use for them. And get your mechanostrider out."
Zhou Zhou said.
"Yes, my Lord!" Ashburn said respectfully and turned to leave.
"My Lord, what should we do now?" Bao Xiu'er asked.
"We wait." Zhou Zhou only said two words.
Everyone stopped asking.
Hui Teng might get the chance to advance to Green bronze-tier advance grade after he finishes the desert fog lizards together with Bai Yung and Lu Chong.
He thought.
Half an hour later, Bai Yung and the others appeared in the distance.
It was only then that they discovered the desert fog lizard monsters surrounding the territory.
They were instantly stunned.
Didn't we clear the fog monsters around the territory before heading further away?
With no hesitation, Bai Yung, Hui Teng and Lu Chong dashed towards the desert fog lizards.
As for Man Nao, he strolled towards the territory while dragging a hug blanket covered in blood.
The severed heads of the monsters killed during their hunt were all contained in it.
Lu Chong, who had just joined the team, rushed to the front and was the last to collide with the desert fog lizards.
With just a few moves, he brought down 2 Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade lizards.
SLLCH! SLLCH! SLLCH!
The sound of swords and spear tearing through flesh rang out.
Their strength completely suppressed this group of desert fog lizards.
"The lord's soldiers are impressive. Their fearless spirit is very rare."
Ashburn clicked his tongue in wonder within the protective barrier.
Zhou Zhou's expression was calm.
"My lord," walking into the protective barrier, Man Nao bowed before presenting the evidence of their hunt.
"Come, I have something to tell you." Zhou Zhou said.
Man Nao was surprised.
Then, he obeyed and came to Zhou Zhou's side.
Zhou Zhou whispered something into his ear.
"Do you understand?"
"Understood, my lord! I will definitely complete the mission!" Man Nao said firmly before walking away.
Zhou Zhou was not in a hurry. His gaze swept across these desert fog lizards.
Soon, his eyes lit up and his gaze landed on the only elite desert fog lizard in the group.

"The second building effect of the gnome alchemy workshop is finally working…" A smile appeared on Zhou Zhou's face.
