First Lord of Earth

"This man actually has a spirit stone on his body. Do we want to..."

Not just desire, some people even showed a bit of greed in their eyes.

For example, the short staff dressed as Sakura Country ninjas who were eating "sashimi" looked at the "spiritual stone" in Xia Tian's hand and their eyes flashed.

"Don't mess around, and don't forget the rules of the inn. And this person looks like he's from China based on his attire, so don't forget that one... just wait. Anyway, if he can't pay the bill, he has to go to the back to 'join the war' , after being killed by the catastrophic creatures, these spiritual stones will become ownerless..."

Obviously, there are certain limitations within the Mystery Inn.

Although the people in the hall looked fierce and even had weapons around them, they were all very well-behaved.

The most important thing is that for the Chinese people, these Japanese seem to be "afraid".

"You don't even want spiritual stones, and you still say it's not a black shop?"

"The customer is joking, this is not a black shop! If the customer really has no money to pay the bill, he only needs to write it down on the account first, and then go to the back of the inn to do some menial work to make up for it...what!"

The waiter kept smiling on his face, but the words in his mouth clearly made Xia Tian sure.

However, the next moment, his eyes couldn't help but become dull.

Just because Xia Tian touched it from his arms again and took out ten golden beads the size of soybeans and placed them on the table. Each one was like gold, surrounded by a dense aura!

"How is that possible? He actually has a 'golden bead of luck' on him!"

In the lobby, people who originally wanted to watch the excitement also looked very surprised, and some people almost had their eyes popping out.

[Should the territory’s Qi be consumed and transformed into ‘Qi Luck Golden Beads’, with a conversion ratio of “10:1”? 】

"yes!"

[You have transformed ten ‘Golden Luck Beads’, and the territory’s luck is -100! 】

Because, just when this waiter came to ask for the account, the reminder of the will of the earth appeared in Xia Tian's mind.

As a human lord of the earth, you can convert the luck awarded to your territory by the will of the earth into "golden beads of luck" at a ratio of ten to one.

Xia Tian took a look at the luck currently available in his territory.

It’s not much, just over 20,000 yuan. I can only eat more than 200 servings of top-quality beef like just now!

Mainly because I spent too much luck preparing for the war. Fortunately, I defeated 500 dark elves, killed 5,000 kobolds, and the drow priests added up to a reward of about 1,500, plus these three days. Recruiting Wang Yuyan, A'Zhu, and territorial personnel to break through, get promoted, and receive some luck rewards.

Now, there are more than 20,000 people.

However, only the lord can mobilize these fortunes. If he really chooses to let Wu Song Daniu's people come in to explore the way, he really can only go to the backyard to "do odd jobs".

"Thank you very much, brother, for reminding me just now..."

After placing these "golden beads" on the table, Xia Tian no longer paid attention to the waiter, but thanked the man and woman eating next to him.

With his eyesight enhanced by the "power of mocking the wind", how could he not notice the man at the next table trying to remind him several times?

Of course, the reason why he took the initiative to say hello was because this man's appearance and clothing made Xia Tian feel a little familiar and reminded him of this person!

"Look, Brother Zhan, let me tell you that this friend is very confident... There are not many people in the entire inn who can bring out ten golden beads of luck!"

The petite woman looked at Xia Tian and smiled generously.

"Next summer, haven't you asked your names yet?"

After Xia Tian heard "Brother Zhan" from the woman's mouth, he almost confirmed the other party's identity.

"I'm going to show off!"

The man in red robe with an upright look on his face returned.

Sure enough, it was none other than "Royal Cat" Zhan Zhao.

Thanks to the widespread circulation of the story of Bao Gong, many people think that Zhan Zhao is a real historical figure, but in fact Zhan Zhao, like Wu Song, can be regarded as a figure who descended from the "Sea of ​​Illusion".

"Call me 'Hongfu'!"

The petite woman with red thread wrapped around her white wrist spoke.

"Hong Fu? Could it be that 'Hong Fu Girl'..."

Xia Tian glanced at her.

Hong Fu Nu, whose real name is Zhang Chuchen, is listed as one of the "Three Heroes of Feng Chen" along with Bearded Qiu Ke and Li Jing. Although her popularity is not as good as Zhan Zhao's, she is still considered one of the "outstanding people".

Good guy, is this mysterious inn so "crouching tiger, hidden dragon" and full of outstanding people? I was just so lucky, I happened to meet two of them at once!

Xia Tian didn't know that the "Dragon Among Men" talent he had just gathered could not only enhance the effects of "Dragon"-related techniques and things, but it could also attract attention!

This naturally includes ordinary people as well as talents and outstanding figures!

It's just that ordinary people may not be able to notice something, but outstanding people are more likely to "sympathize with each other" under the "sympathy of luck".

It is this talent that is truly extraordinary!

"Originally, I was worried that after Brother Xia ordered this portion of yellow beef, he wouldn't be able to pay for his luck and would be trapped here like us... But now it seems that Brother Xia came prepared, right?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Xia Tian, ​​his eyes full of curiosity.

You must know that as "Silver Heroes", he and Hongfu Nu also have a lot of luck, but this luck is closely related to themselves and cannot be used to "pay" for meals in this inn. of.

Therefore, once you have eaten in this inn, you will be trapped in the hotel and can only "do odd jobs" to pay off your debts.

And the so-called "jobbers" are not washing vegetables, washing pots and emptying swill buckets as most people think, but fighting life and death with some "catastrophic creatures" to obtain the "currency" needed to live and eat in this inn.

"Catastrophe Creatures?"

Xia Tian was about to ask clearly.

"Ding ding ding!"

Suddenly, there was a rapid ringing of bells in the inn!

"No! There are 'catastrophic creatures' attacking the inn.

"Hurry up, let's all defend ourselves. If the inn is destroyed, we'll all be done with it!"

"Fuck, I can't even eat properly!"

There was a burst of complaints in the hall, and a man picked up the weapon next to him and ran quickly towards the back door of the inn.

In addition, there were people running out of some corners of the inn.

However, compared to the people sitting in the hall eating, their clothes were more ragged. Some of them didn't even have complete weapons in their hands, and their faces were full of fear!

"Brother Xia, since you have paid your bill, you should leave quickly through the front door of the inn."

"Otherwise, when the location of this inn is moved, even if you walk out of the inn again, you will not be able to return to your original place."

The expressions of the two heroes Zhan Zhao and Hong Fu Nu also changed slightly. They both stood up from their seats, reminded Xia Tian and then brought their weapons to fight.

"Could it be that the catastrophic creature is a creature evolved from the aura of catastrophe? Well, let's go and take a look first!"

Xia Tian thought for a while, and did not leave in a hurry from the front door, but also followed the crowd out of the inn.

The layout of the back entrance of the inn is somewhat similar to that of the front. It is also surrounded by a large circle of fence.

Just outside the fence, there was a hazy scarlet sunset in the sky, and a faint gray mist floated on the dark land!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

At this time, creatures that moved extremely fast were rushing out of the fog and rushing towards the inn.

It is more than two meters tall, with strong legs and muscles and bones integrated into one. It has a head like a large spindle full of fangs, dark green saliva dripping from the corners of its mouth, and two long arms attached to the ends. Bright, black, very sharp-looking claws, plus a long and flexible tail with a serrated venomous tip at the end!

"This is……"

Xia Tian's eyes condensed.

Because this thing is very familiar to him.

In other words, it is very familiar to most people on earth!

"Fuck, what the hell is this!"

However, to the people in the inn, this "catastrophic creature" is frightening just by its appearance.

Especially since it moves extremely fast and can rush out dozens of meters per second, after encountering humans who go to resist.

Ordinary weapons can hardly cause any substantial damage when slashed on his body. Even if a metamorphosis-level personnel poured spiritual power into the weapon and successfully pierced it into his body, when he pulled the weapon out, he found that the surface of the weapon was It's smoking, being rapidly corroded and becoming fragile!

Shocked, he was violently entangled by its tail, his spindle-shaped head opened, and his tongue was like a crossbow arrow, instantly piercing a human's head.

"No, it's a strange monster."

"Everyone, be careful. Its blood is highly poisonous and can corrode swords. Don't let its blood splash on your body. Even your skin and flesh will be rotten!"

A swordsman who looked very experienced, his expression changed and he spoke a reminder.

But it seems a bit late.

Because these "foreign monsters" that rush into the fence are comparable to the level of metamorphosis, each one is very powerful.

Among the people who rushed out from the inn to fight, those at the mortal level were okay. Some people at the mortal level were pierced through the head by its tail before they even got close!

"Hong Fu, let's join forces!"

However, not everyone is suppressed by the "alien monster".

After arriving at the battlefield, Zhan Zhao pulled out his broad sword made of black shark skin. After the spiritual power was input into it, the blade suddenly glowed with silver light, and the entire sword became larger again like an "Eight-sided Han Sword". ”, but in his hands he was as light as a heavy one, with his sword energy flowing horizontally and horizontally, he easily cut the two alien monsters into two pieces!

"Ding Dong..."

The red strands on Red Whisker Girl's snow-white arms were loose.

After a red fly whisk flew out of his robe, it spun in the palm of his hand at such a speed that it looked like a red paper umbrella.

His body shape is extremely light and agile, as if he is dancing gracefully.

However, after the "red umbrella" in his hand came into contact with the "foreign monster" that rushed into the fence, it was like an extremely sharp sword energy, causing dense scars to appear on its body covered by armor!

With the two heroes joining forces, the "foreign monster" who broke into the fence head-on was shot to the ground.

At the same time as it died, the body also turned into a cloud of gray smoke and dissipated, leaving only a large number of crimson and a few silver-white beads falling to the ground and glowing.

"His, hiss, hiss..."

In the mist, there is a super "alien leader" who is taller than the others, with a silver-grey body and a fan-shaped head. The body is over four meters tall, and a pair of eyes are shining with cruelty. Light!

After suddenly rushing out of the mist, a tail of more than two meters long with sharp bone spurs swept through the chests of two mortal-level humans who were fighting alien monsters like piercing sugar-coated haws. After being brought into the air, they took a sharp bite. Bite off two heads that howled in pain!

Then his eyes moved and he saw Zhan Zhao and Hong Fu who were working together to kill the enemy. They jumped up from the ground with both feet and waved a pair of black claws, crossing a distance of almost 20 meters towards Zhan Zhao. Pounced in the past!

"not good!"

Zhan Zhao, who had just killed a "foreign monster", felt the light above his head dim and became alert.

He hurriedly used all his strength to activate the "Giant Que Sword" in his hand, making the blade more than a foot wide. He held both hands with all his strength and blocked it above his head!

boom!

After the four-meter-high alien demon leader's claws collided with the giant sword, the latter couldn't bear the huge impact and fell downwards, and at the same time, Zhan Zhao's figure was pressed to the ground.

The alien leader was full of murderous aura, swung his blade-filled tail, and stabbed Zhan Zhao in the head!

"Brother Zhan!"

The red-faced girl next to her looked shocked.

He hurriedly urged the whisk on his hand to wrap around the tip of the tail of the "alien leader", holding it back tightly.

Roar!

But there was nothing that could stop the strange demon leader from lowering his spindle-shaped head, and opening his huge mouth dripping with "saliva" that could corrode steel, and biting Zhan Zhao's head, which was unable to move.

Life and death crisis, life hangs on a thread!

hold head high!

At this moment, a nearly two-meter-long arrow shrouded in thunder suddenly flew from behind, hitting the "Alien Monster Leader" in one fell swoop, breaking through the fan-shaped "armor" on his head, and fiercely penetrated his hammer. In the head!

The power of Huanghuang's arrow is like thunder destroying the world.

Centered on the location where the arrow was hit, the power of silver thunder spread throughout the body of the alien demon leader.

Then, a silver dragon figure condensed with thunder appeared, entangled around the leader of the "alien monster" as if contemptuously, and the slender body twisted hard with force!

"Wow..."

The next moment, the leader of the "Alien Monster" was like an ordinary alien monster, his entire body turned into ashes.

Only an oversized arrow was left on the ground, plus a golden bead the size of a thumb, and a silver-white bead the size of a fist!

"Ahem, thank you for your help!"

Zhan Zhao got up from the ground with the help of Hong Fu, "coughed" a few times to regain his breath, and turned back with some gratitude on his face, but was stunned when he saw the person who helped him.

"Brother Xia, it's you! You didn't leave?"

"I am more interested in these 'catastrophic creatures', so I came out to take a look."

Xia Tian held the thunder bow in one hand, walked over and picked up the "Thunder Dragon Seven Killing Arrows" and held it in his hand. After finding that it was not obviously corroded, he said.

"Originally, I wanted to say that Brother Xia, you are too bold, but now it seems that Zhan Zhao has underestimated the heroes of my human race. With Brother Xia's strength, even the 'Alien Monster Leader' who has transformed three times can be easily shot. Even in this 'Mysterious Inn', I can come and go freely. No wonder I can take out those 'Golden Luck Beads', unlike us..."

Zhan Zhao seemed to have misunderstood something and said with emotion.

In fact, he and Hongfu Nu were not weak in strength.

After all, they are all well-known imaginary heroes. With their own characteristics and talents, their combat effectiveness is also superior at the same level!

However, both of them were only at the second level of transformation, but this "alien monster leader" was comparable to the third level of transformation. Even under the sudden attack on the battlefield, even if the two of them joined forces, they would be in crisis.

However, Xia Tian was able to kill this creature that was comparable to the third level of metamorphosis with just one arrow. His strength was definitely the best at the current stage!

"You call it a strange monster? That's quite appropriate!"

Xia Tian said as he looked at the dozens of "catastrophe creatures" that were gradually eliminated on the battlefield after killing hundreds of people.

These so-called "alien monsters" should obviously be the "alien" creatures that are regarded as villains in earth's movies and TV shows. They were evolved by the aura of catastrophe and given the mission of killing.

Its body was built for killing, plus its strong acidic saliva and blood that can corrode steel. It is an extremely powerful weapon, especially after reaching the "Transformation" level, it is obviously more powerful than in the original movie!

"Doctor, doctor?"

"Hurry up and treat me! Hey, if you don't hurry up, my handsome face will be ruined..."

"Give me money first, twenty copper beads..."

"So expensive?"

"A handsome face will of course be more expensive to treat, unless you want it to look ugly..."

"Then I'll give you forty pieces, and you can make them look pretty!"

Therefore, even though the attack launched by a small number of "extraordinary monsters" still caused a certain amount of casualties.

Those who had corrosive blood splashed on their faces and bodies screamed for "treatment."

However, the doctor who was called over acted slowly, and only after the injured person took out some "beads" and paid the money did he help treat the wound!

"Do catastrophic creatures appear every day?"

Xia Tian looked outside the inn's fence, at the bloody setting sun and the ground shrouded in gray mist. He didn't know how many monsters were hidden among them?

"Yes, every day!"

"However, most of the catastrophic creatures have been blocked in the 'frontline' position and will not attack the inn. Situations like the one just now are rare, and most of them encounter particularly powerful or difficult ones.' The front line failed to completely stop the catastrophic creature!"

While Hongfu Nu was talking, she picked up the beads left on the ground after she and Zhan Zhao killed the "foreign monster".

"And a 'front' position?"

"Yes, in order to prevent these catastrophic creatures from directly impacting and destroying the inn, the real battlefield is set up in the misty black soil. Try to intercept them there. After everyone goes out to kill the catastrophic creatures and obtain enough 'bead coins', then After returning to the inn to eat, rest, and practice to improve our strength, we will go to the front line to kill the enemy... Only after the blood sun sets in the sky can we get a moment of rest!"

Zhan Zhao explained with a tired look on his face.

In fact, he and Hongfu Nu had just come down from fighting on the 'front line' and returned to the inn. They were exhausted and were successfully attacked by the leader of the "foreign monster" just now.

Otherwise, with his skill, even if there is a gap in levels, he will not be knocked down without any resistance!

"So, there are a lot of people in this inn?"

Xia Tian thought of something.

"Anyway, there are quite a few. Not to mention tens of thousands, there should be at least seven or eight thousand people?"

Zhan Zhao said with an uncertain tone.

Because people enter the Mysterious Inn every day, and people die every day, so it is difficult to be precise to a specific number!

"Seven or eight thousand people?"

Xia Tian's expression changed.

For your own territory that has been used for thousands of mortal-level combat power? What is missing!

Without a doubt, it's the population.

The residents who are just over a thousand years old are absolutely unable to support the further development of a territory.

But now, there is a large population in this inn.

Moreover, it is not the general population.

You must know that all the people here have participated in the battle against "catastrophic creatures". Even the most ordinary people among them have certain combat qualities. It can be said that once recruited into the territory, they are qualified soldiers.

Especially these people are accustomed to living a precarious life, forced to fight every day, and full of crises.

Now that his territory has been cleared up and the surrounding foreign races have achieved a relatively "stable" environment, it can be said to be a "paradise" for the people in this "Mysterious Inn"!

Sorry, it's even slower again.

Originally, I was going to write about some "infighting" plots among the human race here... But after thinking about it, I still don't need to get too involved at this stage.

So, after going back and forth for a long time, I finally came up with this chapter...
