Bloodline Stirring

With their departure from the Underdark imminent, there was no longer any need for Saine to keep Qi hidden.

The Dawn Holy Tower and the Knight who destroyed the City of Mozhsuobula both came from the south.

No matter how far the opponent's influence extends, it is impossible for them to cover the three northern kingdoms.

The appearance of Owl Qi is also part of Saine's way of demonstrating his strength.

In this world, in every region, strength reigns supreme.

Being overly low-key isn't necessarily a good thing.

Sometimes, only by revealing all your strengths and abilities can you avoid unnecessary trouble and seek relevant opportunities.

With the aura of Owl Qi serving as a deterrent, Saine and his group did not encounter any ignorant magical beasts that dared to offend them as they traversed the Gloomy Mountain Range.

The hierarchy among monsters is more rigid than that among human Knight and Mage.

Lower-level magical beasts are unlikely to provoke higher-level magical beasts. The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, makes these magical beasts sometimes more humble and patient than humans.

Although no monsters came looking for them, Saine and his group still went through several battles in the past few days.

There was no other way; the Gloomy Mountain Range were simply too rich in resources, with all sorts of low-level magical materials readily available in the forests.

Saine himself didn't have any particular thoughts, but Owl Qi had probably gotten used to helping Saine gather resources.

During his journey through the Gloomy Mountain Range, he brought back countless low- and mid-level magical materials. →

Even on the third day after entering the Gloomy Mountain Range, it used the Wind Chains to drag back a two-meter-long magical boar.

"This... this is... Hurricane Arrow Boar?" Captain Haishan stammered, pointing at the wild boar.

The wild boar's head had been pecked open, and the wind-elemental Magic Crystal inside had vanished, naturally eaten by Qi.

Magic Beast Core with this attribute have always been Qi's favorite.

Saine himself took the boar's tusks, heart, and a patch of soft white fur on its chest.

These three items are the most valuable parts of this Intermediate Magical Beast.

The faint Element Power contained within indicates that Saine can use them as materials to create related Low-Level Magic Item.

As for the wild boar's flesh and blood, Saine generously distributed it among the mercenary group.

With the size of this wild boar, it's enough for them to have a good meal.

More importantly, this is precious Magic Beast Blood Meat.

The larger areas of wild boar hides were acquired by the old man with the goatee.

The old man gave Saine a small wooden box containing five hundred Gold Coin.

The Gold Coin are the currency issued by the Lisia Alliance. They are larger than the Gold Coin in the Underdark and have a better appearance.

Both are Gold Coin, but according to Captain Haishan's explanation, the exchange rate between Gold Coin Gold Coin from the Lisia Alliance and those from the Underdark is often 1:5, or even 1:6.

Of course, among the three northern kingdoms, the most valuable item is the Aojin issued by the Ok Empire.

It is said that the Ok Empire no longer uses Gold Coin for major transactions, but instead uses the more advanced and rarer gold vouchers.

Five days later, Saine and the mercenary group left the Gloomy Mountain Range with a sense of unfinished business.

The harvest of these five days is almost equal to the total harvest of Saine during the previous six months of his journey.

No wonder countless mercenary groups venture into the Gloomy Mountain Range every year to try their luck. Some do indeed make a fortune, while others leave their remains here permanently, becoming nourishment for the dense jungles of the Gloomy Mountain Range.

Even among the humans who fell in the Gloomy Mountain Range, there were quite a few magic apprentices.

"The abundance of resources here far surpasses any region we have passed through before."

"If it weren't for the fact that I have plenty of low- to mid-level resources for cultivation and research, this would be a great treasure trove for exploration," Saine remarked.

"Gugu, it's okay in the short term, but it won't work in the long term to scavenge resources in the Gloomy Mountain Range."

"I can sense that there are two individuals whose strength is no less than mine, and they are radiating hostility towards me."

"If we stay in the Gloomy Mountain Range any longer, besides attracting the rejection of the native magical beasts, we might also trigger Beast Tide," Qi replied.

There are strict territorial divisions among magical beasts. As Quasi-Level Magical Beast from elsewhere, the simplest way for Seven to integrate into the Gloomy Mountain Range is to fight a local magical beast with decent strength.

However, if one merely acts as a passerby, plundering various resources in the Gloomy Mountain Range, it will provoke rejection and backlash from the vast majority of high-level magical beasts in the Gloomy Mountain Range.

High-level magical beasts are quite intelligent, especially those that have risen to the level of quasi-ranked creatures like Qi, whose intelligence is no different from that of normal humans.

Although the Wizard World has always been ruled by human Knight and Mage.

But the Warcraft race

In fact, it still holds a place in the Wizard World, especially in the lower and middle levels.

Those who excessively disrupt the ecological balance of a region, no matter how powerful their background, will be wiped out without hesitation by the kings of the Magical Beast Mountain Range around the Wizard World.

Even if the Holy Tower or the Knights' Hall were to question them, those Life Level monster kings could still invoke the Guardians as their backers.

As a powerful World Civilization, the Wizard World is not lacking in monster kings of level four or above.

The Gloomy Mountain Range are just a shallow pool, and there are no powerful magical creatures there.

Based on Qi's discoveries and judgments over this period, the strongest magical beast in the Gloomy Mountain Range may possess Level-2 Lifeform form, and it is located deep in the forest west of the Gloomy Mountain Range.

"Master Saine, are you really not considering Fatt Family?"

"The Fatt Family is one of the top noble families in the eastern part of the Lisia Alliance. Viscount Fatt will certainly give you a warm welcome." After entering the border of the Lisia Alliance, the old man with the goatee couldn't help but invite you again.

"Once we reach Black Fort Fortress ahead, we will have completed this escort mission according to the terms of the Mercenary Guild contract."

"I'm sorry, but I have no intention of joining any noble faction at the moment."

"And my next destination is the area west of Black Fort Fortress," Saine replied.

The advantages of following a mercenary group and acting alongside local bigwigs like the old man with the goatee became apparent when entering the territory of the Lisia Alliance.

Not only could he simply greet the guards at the border and pass through directly, but after the old man with the goatee showed the emblem and tokens of the Fatt Family, he was even escorted by a squad of soldiers.

The old man was right; the Fatt Family does indeed wield considerable influence in the eastern part of the Lisia Alliance.

However, Saine's target was the west, because after entering the territory of the Lisia Alliance, Saine's long-dormant Bloodline Tracing Magic suddenly reacted.

This confirms that Saine indeed comes from the Lisia Alliance.

It's unclear whether his family is a central or western noble family in Lycia.

The nobles in the central region generally hold high ranks and occupy the most fertile plains region of the Lisia Alliance, with a large population under their rule.

The western nobles' territories bordered the Sifa Kingdom directly, where the people were more fierce and their private armies were also stronger.
