Chapter 502: The Valley Battlefield
After receiving Zhang Mu’s confirmation, Qing Ling’s eyes lit up. She urgently needed achievements to prove herself now.
Her first team was under a lot of pressure, but this newcomer really surprised her.
“What is it? What did you find? The number of enemies?”
Zhang Mu looked at Qing Ling in front of him and said with a smile, “Just now, when I almost got exposed, I killed an alien creature. When I was hiding its body, I suddenly discovered a blue crystal on the back of their heads, near the neck. Surprisingly, I could absorb it, and I felt my strength increase. And most importantly, there were no side effects.”
“And most importantly, there were no side effects.”
“We have dissected bodies of creatures from other lands before, but we didn’t find anything, right?”
Qing Ling asked in confusion. As the princess of the vine tribe, she knew many things that regular people didn’t, including the fact that if there was really any blue crystal, it would have been discovered when bringing back the bodies of creatures from other lands.
“I’m not sure about this. Could it be because the blue crystal needs to be fresh due to a time issue?”
After saying this, Zhang Mu exposed his breath suddenly to prove his words were true. Of course, it was an illusion with a significant enhancement compared to his original breath.
Qing Ling had some doubts when she heard Zhang Mu say this before, but now she could truly feel the sudden increase in Zhang Mu’s strength. She instantly realized how important this news could be.
“Also, I found out that the gathering place of those creatures from other lands is actually not large. Our plant tribe can completely enter their territory and harvest a large amount of Blue Crystal. Then, we can lead the other three tribes directly.”
“This time, we’re going to turn the tables!”
Watching Qing Ling jumping with excitement, Zhang Mu roughly guessed that the pressure on this young princess might be quite high now, especially after Zhang Mu found out that her first team formation was indeed real.
Zhang Mu guessed right; she didn’t want to be called a spoiled princess who relied on her father.
“Zhang Mu, I need to double-check before reporting to Queen Sister. It’s a serious matter and we have to be very careful. Let’s go find a strange creature and check if it really has the Blue Crystal on its neck.”
“She has a meeting tonight about the situation of the four tribes. It’s a good opportunity for us to go.”
There’s a meeting tonight?
Zhang Mu held back his excitement, everything was turning out as he had guessed.
“Where can we find a strange creature now?”
Qing Ling smiled cunningly, “We won’t find one just by looking around randomly. But there must be some in the uncontrolled areas, the front lines. We can just go and take a dead strange creature from there without doing it ourselves.”
Zhang Mu agreed with a nod. He had never been to the front lines, but he should be able to defend himself.
The two rushed on, Zhang Mu was anxious to catch up with the queen’s tribal meeting.
Thankfully, Qing Ling was familiar with the area and easily approached the front lines. There were towering mountains and a big canyon.
Their goal is the front battlefield in the canyon.
“There are not many green plants here, it’s difficult for me to hide. Make sure you find good shade too, don’t get caught. Those exotic creatures are ruthless, and be careful not to be attacked by our own people.”
Zhang Mu knows very well that in this kind of large-scale war, being accidentally injured by their own people is the worst. But there’s no choice, since they are not acting with the main group.
However, once they reached the canyon, it was a surprise for Zhang Mu and Qing Ling.
The main troops of the plant tribe stationed here and those exotic creatures surprisingly did not engage in a big conflict. They are still testing each other out, without enough benefits, they won’t fight to the death.
The plant tribe needs to consider whether taking action will deplete their energy, affecting their future battles with the other three tribes.
What they have discovered now is that these exotic creatures have no value to them, so why bother with this thankless task? Even in small-scale battles, they are fought in groups of two or three, without much impact.
“How long have they been in this stalemate?”
Qing Ling glanced and said, “It has been quite a while. It started aggressively, but later no one wanted to waste their troops. We brought back the corpses for research.”
So I say, if your discovery is real, it will change the course of the war, and may even allow the plant tribe to dominate the entire battlefield before other races can react!”
At this moment, Qing Ling’s eyes were filled with pride and longing!
Qing Ling, despite her changing personality, is someone who loves her own tribe!
It’s a pity, they are not one tribe.
I have my own tribe! I am part of the human race!
Zhang Mu looked at her with a mix of emotions. With his memories erased, he had not yet realized that on this planet, all races in the experimental grounds were actually the same.
Qing Ling didn’t know what Zhang Mu was thinking, so she urged him, “Let’s quickly take a body. They are the only ones who will reclaim their own bodies, we don’t need it. The evening meeting is approaching, time is running out.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mu chuckled and asked, “How come they would still reclaim bodies, are they like us, bringing back their comrades’ bodies to pay respects?”
Hearing Zhang Mu’s teasing remark, Qing Ling also laughed out loud.
“How can this be possible! They are all monsters, I’ve even suspected they might be eating their companions’ bodies.”
Zhang Mu didn’t pay much attention to this, at this moment his understanding of these foreign creatures is still like monsters.
The two of them sneakily approached a place where a fierce battle was taking place, the foreign creatures here had not been taken away yet.
“Zhang Mu, there are no plants here, I can’t hide well, you go.”
Zhang Mu nodded, started a spell, and in Qing Ling’s eyes, it seemed like he disappeared into the shadows, leaving her feeling a bit envious.
“Shadows are everywhere, but my awakening power works best when combined with plants for better concealment effects. This guy is so strong, if I reach the fourth-rank, couldn’t I go assassinate those important figures of other clans?”
Qing Ling’s eyes lit up at the thought, the stronger Zhang Mu became, the more powerful she, as his captain, would grow.
Maybe then my father will start to value me, instead of just casually assigning me to the formation of the First Unit to comfort me.
Qing Ling bit her lip, everything she did was to prove herself.
Zhang Mu’s appearance gave her hope.
If the Blue Crystal could enhance their strength, allowing herself to advance to the fourth rank and helping Zhang Mu to also reach the fourth rank, based on his special awakening ability, he would definitely be noticed by Queen Sister.
Then, with Queen Sister backing her up, there wouldn’t be as many people gossiping about her!
Brother Cang Yu also shouldn’t push others too hard.
