Chapter 36 Promotion
[Expanding the Black Wind Mountain ecosystem...]
[Ding! Unlocked: [Crow Scented Guest], [Snake Patrol Officer], [Rugged Bones], [Little Fungus], [Little Ginseng Spirit], [Extensive Planning]]
[Ding! The limit for summoning demon soldiers has been increased]
The demonic power of the monsters in the Black Wind Mountain region has been strengthened.
[Little Demon·Crow Scented Guest:]
Summoning Requirement: 50 Spirit Points
Summoning limit: 0/10
Note: Divination reveals the affairs of the world, yet ultimately it is difficult to maintain one's own integrity. What seems like a safe and secure place will only lead to chaotic and turbulent circumstances.
[Little Demon Snake Patrolman:]
Summoning Requirement: 50 Spirit Points
Summoning limit: 0/10
Note: The time for hibernation is closely watched; its tracks are hard to find in the grass. Its slender body can swallow a giant elephant; its injuries are incurable.
[Little Demon - Boneless]
Summoning Requirements: 10 Spirit Points, One Skeleton
Summoning Limit: 0/∞
Note: Loess, loess, dust and mud erode bones. The scholar died unjustly, what bitterness in his heart? Riding the wind and mist, he descends upon the valley. Covering and nurturing spiritual essence, he gives birth to wondrous things.
[Little Demon · Little Fungus:]
Summoning Requirement: 50 Spirit Points
Summoning limit: 0/10
Note: After a light rain in the mountain village, life naturally springs forth. A humble abode, imbued with virtue, even moves the mountain spirits.
[Little Demon/Little Ginseng Spirit:]
Summoning Requirement: 50 Spirit Points
Summoning limit: 0/10
Note: This spirit seedling possesses extraordinary qualities, sprouting naturally from the soil. Its whiskers become its hands and feet, its roots and body branching into shoulders and thighs. It calms the mind, strengthens the spirit, and nourishes the deficient. Only harvest two or three roots; greed will surely bring suffering.
[Leader - Guangmou:]
Summoning Requirements: 1000 Spirit Points + One Monster Blood Essence
Summoning limit: 0/1
Note: A Buddha's mouth and a snake's heart are truly venomous; two-faced and treacherous. Where can one find a loyal heart to face the bright moon? Only to waste nights listening to Zen riddles.
Lin Tian ultimately chose to improve the ecology of Black Wind Mountain. The reason was simple: he had only been able to develop to this point because of his large population, and he was naturally happy to help even more people improve their lives.
As for the leader's promotion, it can be put on hold for now. There's no rush to promote him once he has accumulated enough resources.
The improvements brought about this time are also huge. First of all, the most basic wolf scout has been directly increased to 200, which is double the previous level.
The Wolf Swordsman, Wolf Captain, and Wolf Archer have all reached the 100 mark, while the Wolf Assassin, Wolf Warrior, and Wolf Guard have reached the 30 mark.
These are also his core troops, especially the wolf archers. If they could only barely form a rain of arrows before, now they can make that "barely" even less. Just thinking about 100 arrows firing at once makes Lin Tian feel great.
Currently, if he recruits all the wolf-type monsters, he could reach 590, which is roughly equivalent to 600.
If his previous self-proclaimed title of "King" was a bit of self-indulgence, then now he's truly showing signs of becoming a king, though perhaps a mountain king, more like a bandit's den.
But this also means that his strength has increased, and according to this calculation, the number of his demon soldiers should be able to exceed a thousand next time he upgrades.
Not only that, the most surprising improvement for him this time was Little Frog, who actually improved to 100. This made Lin Tian very satisfied. Although their strength was not strong, their numbers were too many.
Furthermore, Lin Tian had already tested it. The little frogs would explode after they died, inflicting poison wounds on surrounding enemies. The power was enough to kill a normal human without any remedial treatment. If they exploded a few times and accumulated enough, they could probably even poison superhumans. In addition, they could dive underwater, making them a force to be reckoned with.
After reviewing the increased troop cap, Lin Tian began to examine the new troop types.
First is Crow Incense Master, who has a spending of up to 50 points of spiritual energy. He is a crow spirit, wearing a white robe, holding a long fishing rod in one hand with an incense burner hanging from the end of the rod, and a curved knife in the other hand.
Perhaps because it is a bird, it looks a bit dull, but it is still very strong and can take down three wolf scouts by itself.
Secondly, there's the Serpent Patrolman, who also costs 50 points of spiritual energy. Speaking of this monster, Lin Tian felt a wave of nausea. It wasn't that his appearance was particularly disgusting, though it wasn't exactly handsome either; it was just that he had disgusted himself in the original game.
It already had high HP and an extremely disgusting invincible thrust, making it arguably the most hated little demon in Black Wind Mountain.
Since it is a snake demon, its appearance must be that of a snake. Its long snake neck and snake head take up most of its body, while the rest of its body has human-like limbs and body. It holds a short gun in its hand and wears some leather armor.
Next up is the bony skeleton. When Lin Tian saw this description, he was a little surprised. He even rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
Because the upper limit of this little demon is actually infinite, which means that he can summon as many as he wants without being restricted by the system.
The spiritual energy required for summoning is also very low, only ten points. Oh right, you also need a skeleton. This isn't particularly difficult to obtain. Putting aside how many beast bones are piled up in his stronghold, just looking at how you can get bones from the enemy by killing them in battle, wouldn't you get more and more as you fight?
However, the low price made Lin Tian suspect that it was just a cannon fodder unit. After summoning it, Lin Tian planned to test its strength. It actually looked somewhat similar to the Serpent Patrolman, except that one had a snake body and the other had a skeletal body.
However, his strength was far inferior to that of the Snake Patrol, and he actually fought to a standstill with a wolf scout, and was eventually killed. Lin Tian's dream of conquering the world with his bony body was shattered. The remaining two were a bit special, as they were both plant spirits, and both consumed 50 points of spiritual energy.
Little Jun is a monster that holds a long scythe and has its head covered with light bulb-like plants, somewhat like the head of the Wuju Blademaster, except that one is a light bulb and the other is a lamp tube. Its body is also humanoid.
Overall, its strength is decent, neither weak nor strong, and it doesn't feel like it offers particularly good value for money.
Finally, there's another plant monster. Judging from his name, Little Ginseng Spirit, he's a ginseng spirit monster with a human-shaped body. He's rather short, and if you don't look closely from a distance, you might mistake him for a giant radish.
In my opinion, Lin Tian is stronger than Xiao Junjun because he has a move where he sticks his hands into the ground and roots spread out to attack the enemy. This move can also inflict poison damage on the opponent.
It's worth mentioning that both of these plant spirits can burrow underground, transforming into an ordinary-looking plant. This disguise might just be the key to delivering a fatal blow to the enemy, which is a small bonus!
