Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate-Chapter 49 - 48: Pursuit

The horrifying scene left the thin young man’s face completely drained of color.

With only four Mechanical Ironmen left, he desperately fled, finally escaping the range of the Vine Forest.

Not daring to look back, he scrambled into the mountains nearby, cursing his parents for not having given him more legs.

At this moment, the young man felt an intense terror within.

His mind echoed with the gruesome sight of his companions dragged into the Poison Mist, causing his legs to tremble uncontrollably.

If he hadn’t run fast enough, and if the Mechanical Species were affected by the Poison Mist, he might have met the same fate, dying in that forest.

He couldn’t understand how such a powerful territory could exist in a place like this.

Powerful beyond his imagination!

Most importantly, he had never even heard of it!

Now, even if he had a hundred times more courage, he wouldn’t dare approach that place.

But at the same time, he felt extremely unwilling, unwilling to accept the loss of so many Species.

After all, these were Tier Five Species he had painstakingly recruited using Magic Energy—losing half of them at once was a devastating blow.

"Hmph! Just because I can’t deal with you doesn’t mean others can’t, does it?"

"Just wait. I’ll let everyone know the location of your territory!"

The young man snorted coldly, fear fading from his face as his expression darkened.

But he knew that his priority was escaping; staying outside with just these few Species would be far too dangerous. It was not the time for such things.

So he quickened his speed, hurriedly fleeing back to his territory.

He didn’t notice.

A shadow was soaring in the sky above him, closely following his trail.

It was the Wood Demon Dragon from Lin You’s territory.

In fact, when the territory was invaded, Lin You on the other side had already received the alert.

Confident in his territory’s defensive abilities, he sensed through his Spirit connection that some enemies had escaped and sent the Wood Demon Dragon stationed at the territory to follow them.

Meanwhile, he quickly returned to the territory and immediately saw a pile of corpses within the Vine Forest.

"Hmph! Dare to plot against my territory, and you think you can escape?"

The opponent clearly intended to destroy his territory when he wasn’t there and seize his resources.

For someone threatening his life, Lin You naturally wouldn’t let them go easily.

Especially since that person knew the location of his territory, he couldn’t be left alive, lest it leads to endless troubles.

"Let’s go, we’ll catch up!"

With a command, Lin You immediately took twenty-five Species with him to pursue them.

With the Wood Demon Dragon scouting ahead, there was no worry about losing the trail.

Deep into the mountains, he followed the Spirit connection from the Wood Demon Dragon.

In less than an hour, he led his Species to an entrance of an underground cave, where the Wood Demon Dragon responsible for following them was hovering above.

"Is it here?"

Lin You was a bit surprised, not expecting the opponent’s territory to be in such a hidden place.

No wonder he had explored this mountain woods several times before but never found it.

Without hesitation, he led the Plants into the cave.

...

Wang Liang, who had just escaped back, was unaware of the impending danger.

Upon returning to his territory, he entered the Lord Fortress and sat down heavily in a chair. He felt the joy of surviving a disaster, mixed with hatred and resentment.

After catching his breath, he immediately opened the regional channel, intending to fully expose Lin You’s territory’s location to vent his anger!

But suddenly.

A "boom" echoed from outside, shaking the ground fiercely.

"What’s happening? What’s going on?"

Wang Liang stood up abruptly and rushed outside the fortress.

He saw a hole blasted in the territory’s walls and a mass of Plants outside.

The moment he saw Lin You standing among the Plants, his heart sank.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking my territory?!"

His territory was so secretive; how could it be discovered!

The young man suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Heh, you just attacked my territory, and you forget so soon?" Lin You said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Liang’s pupils shrank sharply.

"It’s you! How... how did you know my territory is here?!"

Wang Liang panicked instantly.

He never expected the owner of that territory to find him so quickly.

Recalling the terrifying scene he encountered before, he felt his legs buckle, almost collapsing.

But he quickly regained his composure, hurriedly shouting at the Mechanical Ironmen stationed in the territory.

"Quick! Stop him! Don’t let him in!"

Shouting as he ran back into the Lord Fortress.

The dozen Mechanical Ironmen in his territory rushed through the wall’s breach to surround Lin You.

But before they could take a few steps, a lot of Mushrooms fell at their feet.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

A deafening series of explosions shook the entire cave roughly, even forming many cracks on the ground.

The Mechanical Ironmen were blown to pieces, unable to withstand the explosive attack of the Tier Six Twin Mushrooms.

Hearing the Species death alerts echoing in his mind.

Wang Liang, who was desperately protecting his Territory Core, shuddered, fear written all over his face.

Soon, Lin You led the Plant Legion to the Lord Fortress, coldly staring at Wang Liang through the entrance, and a giant mechanical gear behind him.

That was the core of the Mechanical Type territory.

"No! You can’t kill me! You... You’re committing a crime!"

Wang Liang retreated in panic, even speaking incoherently.

Forgetting how he just thought of putting Lin You to death.

For someone who wants to harm him, Lin You felt no pity, gesturing to the Twin Mushrooms beside him, several red Mushrooms were thrown inside.

"Boom!!"

The whole fortress shook fiercely, shattering instantly.

A powerful gust of air, accompanied by Wang Liang’s screams, swept through the cave, spreading hundreds of meters.

Simultaneously, a prompt echoed in Lin You’s mind.

[Killed Tier Five Lord, gained Magic Energy 89, Wood 250, Stone 340, Tier Five Lord Essence x1]

With the Territory Core destroyed and the Lord dead, the mechanical walls and buildings finally lost their support, all turning into ruins.

Seeing the gained resources, Lin You couldn’t help but sigh.

No wonder this guy didn’t recruit new Species earlier, only had this amount of Magic Energy.

Shaking his head helplessly, he didn’t linger, leaving the cave with the Plants.

The chaos he caused just now must have spread far.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, it was better to leave immediately before being seen by others.

...

Soon.

Lin You returned to his territory, and darkness began to fall.

The outing today was truly bountiful.

Not only did the Blast Mushroom successfully advance to Tier Six, but he also accumulated over thirty thousand Magic Energy.

There were nine days left until the one-month deadline.

He needed to gather sixty thousand Magic Energy within these nine days.

Thinking about this, Lin You felt a slight urgency in his heart.
