Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 13: Hidden Spirit Gathering Qi Array
The patrolling Yakshas who were on guard duty also gathered around Meng Zheng and guarded him tightly.

With two big copper bell eyes bulging, it stared fiercely at every move on the surrounding water.

The battle progressed extremely quickly. Before Meng Zheng could react, the strange fish had almost been wiped out.

Only a dozen strange fish were left, washed away by the surging waves, unable to control their bodies at all.

Looking at the two powerful mermaid warriors, Meng Zheng turned and asked Cang Jing: "Is this the gate to the abyss?"

"Yes, Patriarch, these are the guardian warriors of the Sea God [Sea God's War Guards]. I used the Gate of the Abyss to summon them out to fight for us." In response to Meng Zheng's inquiry, Cang Jing carefully explained to Meng Zheng.

"The Gate of the Abyss is so powerful!" The strength of these two Sea God Warriors was so explosive that Meng Zheng was drooling. If he could have hundreds of them, how difficult would it be to unify Tianyu Lake?
"How long can they exist? What is their combat effectiveness?" Meng Zheng wanted to understand the details of this skill in order to facilitate future combat deployments.

"With my current mana, I can keep the Abyss Gate from dissipating for ten minutes. Once the Abyss Gate closes, the summoned warriors will be teleported back.

My combat power is at the peak of Yellow Rank 9, and cannot exceed three levels of my own strength." Cang Jing answered Meng Zheng carefully.

Cang Jing's personality is not as cheerful and lively as Cang Yue's. Instead, he is cold and extremely calm no matter what.

However, when facing Meng Zheng, he was also extremely obedient and took Meng Zheng's orders as the first principle.

So Meng Zheng had no opinion on Cang Jing's personality.

"It can only last ten minutes. What a pity, it's a bit short!" Meng Zheng was a little disappointed, but he could understand it.

With the combat power of Yellow Rank Level 9, it can be said that it is basically invincible except for Xuan-level creatures.

Cang Jing can summon two by himself, and with Cang Yue, he can summon four such powerful warriors.

Although it only takes ten minutes, as long as it is played well, it can definitely achieve great results.

Moreover, as Cangyue's strength continues to increase in the future, the summoning time will definitely increase. By then, even if there is only Cangyue, Meng Zheng will not dare to say that he has thousands of troops.

Gathering his thoughts, Meng Zheng felt that he could not continue to daydream, otherwise he might have to sleep in the Hailing Bamboo Forest today.

After marching all the way and going through two battles, it was probably almost 12 noon, so the action had to be accelerated.

Continuing forward, as he got closer and closer to the Hailing Bamboo Forest, Meng Zheng suddenly discovered that compared to yesterday, the surrounding lake water had become a little different, as if it was purer and more vibrant.

"Chief, this Sea Spirit Bamboo is really a good thing. Even from such a long distance, there is such a strong fluctuation of spiritual power. There must be a spirit stone mine underground." Cangyue sensed silently for a while and said to Meng Zheng.

"Huh? Really? There is a spirit stone mine here?" Attracted by Cangyue's words, Meng Zheng became excited. This was not mentioned when he read the attribute introduction before.

You know, spirit stones are good things. They are the hard currency of the eternal world and are much more valuable than silver and gold.

Spirit stones can improve the efficiency of spiritual practice, and can also charge elixirs, refining equipment, magic arrays, etc. Spirit stones have a variety of uses and are a very rare resource.

If the Canghai tribe owned a spirit stone mine, they could cultivate a group of spiritual practitioners in a short period of time, greatly enhancing the overall strength of the Canghai tribe.

"Well, yes, Patriarch, I can feel strong fluctuations of spiritual energy, but the dissipation effect of these spiritual energies is not very strong, which is a bit strange." When Cangyue said this, he looked puzzled.

The spirit stone is a treasure that is the essence of heaven and earth. As long as it is exposed to the ground and is not treated in any way, it will slowly emit spiritual energy, and corresponding spiritual energy fluctuations will be felt within a hundred miles.

Now we are less than thirty miles away from the Sea Spirit Bamboo, and we can barely sense the spiritual energy. It is obvious that it is not simple. Meng Zheng understands Cangyue's doubts a little.

The range of spiritual energy dissipation has become smaller, which is probably related to the Sea Spirit Bamboo.

In the previous panel introduction, it was mentioned that Sea Spirit Bamboo can gather spiritual energy and improve the efficiency of spiritual practice.

It is probably because the sea spirit bamboo has gathered all the spiritual energy that the dissipation of spiritual energy is so small.

Meng Zheng didn't say much about this, but just quickened his pace and headed towards the Hailing Bamboo Forest.

Meng Zheng paid more attention to the Hailing Bamboo Forest and was worried that something might happen if he left for a night.

Fortunately, with the arrival of all the mermaids, Hailingzhu was still as safe as yesterday.

"Chief, chief, the spiritual energy here is so strong! It's comparable to an ordinary paradise!" Ever since entering the Hailing Bamboo Forest, Cangyue and the others have been sensing it carefully. After Meng Zheng turned around and made sure everything was alright, they opened their eyes and spoke to Meng Zheng.

"By practicing here, I will soon be able to accumulate enough spiritual energy and start preparing for the breakthrough to the 8th level of the Yellow Rank." Cangyue said to Meng Zheng very seriously.

"Do you want to stay here?" Meng Zheng asked with a frown.

If Cangyue and Cangjing both stay with Hailingzhu, then there will be no powerful masters in the core of the territory.

Although Cangmu also has the strength of Yellow Rank Level 4, compared with Cangyue, he is ultimately like a firefly.

Without Cangyue's presence, Meng Zheng felt very insecure.

"No, no, Cang Jing stays here. Every bit of spiritual power she cultivates will be shared with me. I will always stay by the clan leader's side to protect your safety." Cang Yue hurriedly waved her hand and said to Meng Zheng with a smile.

"Besides, the spiritual energy near the spring is no worse than here. It even contains the pure essence of dragons. Practicing in the tribe might be even better than here!"

"Well, that's good. Without you, I'd be very scared in this place!" Meng Zheng said with a happy smile.

The eternal world is full of dangers. He is just a rookie now. He feels insecure without a master to protect him.

"Chief, we have to build a hidden spirit gathering energy formation. Otherwise, sooner or later, the Sea Spirit Bamboo will be discovered by others and become coveted by others." Cang Jing on the side also opened his eyes and expressed his suggestion.

"The Hidden Spirit Gathering Qi Array? What kind of formation is this? Can you build it?" Meng Zheng was a little curious when he heard this term.

In a normal game, if the corresponding props are not found, the player cannot build anything. This is a system limitation to prevent some players from taking advantage of it and destroying the balance of the game.

However, in the eternal world, there is no such restriction. As long as you understand and can find the corresponding materials, you can build it.

It is obvious that Cangyue has mastered this hidden spirit gathering formation and knows how to create it.

"Yes, the Hidden Spirit Gathering Array can conceal spiritual energy fluctuations, gather spiritual energy in the array, and block others from observing it. It also has the effects of illusion, concealment, and spatial confusion. Just prepare 50 spirit stones and units of mithril for me, and then Cang Jing and I can build the Hidden Spirit Gathering Array."

Cangyue said to Meng Zheng excitedly.
