1157 Three-Layered Territory Part 1 (2/2)
The number of magic beasts was great. The resources of the Cloudflow Empire were displayed through this forest.
Although the Cloudflow people were greedy, they knew that they could not kill the goose that lays the golden egg. The huge forest was protected and kept intact, and the magic beasts inside were sufficient for the empire to capture. The Cloudflow people had not destroyed the forest, so the forest was able to provide a large amount of magic beasts materials to the Cloudflow imperial family, as well as some rare medicinal herbs.
The imperial family did not even need to send people to enter. They sent troops to guard the entrance to the forest and purchased the game obtained by adventurers.
Of course, the purchase price was very low, but adventurers rarely died, since the edges of the forest were not dangerous. Hence, it became an adventurer's paradise.
The place where Saleen's Magical Element Tower descended was a dangerous area, the magical tower landed directly in a level 9 magic beast's nest. The magic beast had been asleep, but was crushed by the Magical Element Tower's territory. The elemental creatures sprang up and devoured it.
\”Rossen, look after the magical tower, Sika, follow me to see if Agares is still here or not. Sul, you come along as well. Nailisi, will you be coming?\”
Nailisi shook her head. \”Master, I want to sleep.\”
\”Go sleep then, let's go.\” Saleen retrieved his magic compass and left with Sika, Sul, and Truman.
On top of the Magical Element Tower, the many layers of giant metal gears floated up. The demonic spirits took their positions. If they met any trouble, the demonic spirits would attack indiscriminately.
The magic beasts and poisonous insects in the forest were frightened by Saleen's Magical Element Tower, and not many dared to approach.
Maintaining a territory needed mental power, as well as some magic chord power. The consumption of Saleen's three-layered territory was not much greater than others', but he only released the water element territory, allowing those beside him to stay within the territory to avoid surprise attacks.
Agares, I really hope you will fight me again. Saleen thought secretly. If he could encounter Agares again, he possessed a powerful territory and he would most likely would not be forced to retreat.
Inside the forest was completely dark, the ground was extremely damp, and if they were not professionals, they would probably not be able to live for even half a day. Poisonous gas floated about, and there was a huge number of tiny ferocious mosquitoes.
The poisonous gas was very pretty. It was colorful and gave off a charming radiance.
Hover, it no longer had a way to approach Saleen. The water element territory was about 60 meters in diameter. For a distance of 30 meters, it acted as a magic amplifier. If he had a magic amplifier as well, his combat power would surpass the limitations of level, and he would be able to kill higher level professionals, such as the oracle.
The magic compass indicated that the pathway was nearby, but Saleen did not discover any traces of others having been here.
There was definitely a problem. Saleen opened his Elemental eye, observing the surroundings in detail. He was able to identify where the problem lay. Although the forest had tall trees and numerous living creatures, the age of the trees was problematic.
Saleen released an ice blade, cutting into a big tree. The tree collapsed at an angle, hitting another big tree. Saleen glanced at the growth rings of the trees and discovered that the tree did not have any growth rings.
What did it mdan? The meter-thick tree probably grew in a few days.
Growth medication was not considered too valuable. Many farmers used it to temporarily grow crops to tide them over the harsh days during rough times.
The medication allowed plants to grow quickly. If it were a large tree, the amount of medication expended was terrifying. Considering Agares' position, Saleen did not find it surprising at all.
Using disguise spells against a mage like him, Agares was really looking down on him.
Saleen followed the direction that the magic compass pointed, heading south for roughly 40 meters, and saw an ant's nest behind a rock. This ant's nest reflected the shine of metal. If Saleen had not advanced to level 10, perhaps he would have chosen to leave. There were probably millions of soul eater ants in the nest.
The position of the pathway was precisely where the ant's nest was located.
Saleen spread out the elemental creatures' territory. A golden giant dragon stepped on the ant's nest, and blew out a puff of dragon's breath. The ant's nest was immediately destroyed. The soul eater ants in the ant's nest had not even attacked before being burnt to death by the golden giant dragon.
The soul eater ants were afraid of high temperatures. Dragon's breath was so hot that it could be used for alchemy. The golden giant dragon blew out two more puffs of dragon's breath at the nest, and the ground caved in about 10 meters. Only then was Saleen satisfied.
When you possessed absolute power, devious schemes became completely useless.
