Free Web NovelChapter 1064: Chapter 426 Barrier
For Zhou Tian, seeing the reaction of those Bone Demons was quite gratifying. And seeing that the Bone Demons had already surrendered voluntarily, there was no need for Zhou Tian to continue fighting. After instructing the Bone Demons to step aside, Zhou Tian then set up the spatial teleportation array he had brought with him.
Although Zhou Tian had now subdued the Bone Demons, it was still impossible for him alone to annex a Monster’s territory with his personal strength. Therefore, the non-resistance of the Bone Demons only reduced Zhou Tian’s trouble, but if he really wanted to annex the other party, he still had to follow his original plan.
After Zhou Tian properly set up the spatial teleportation array, and activated it, the Beastman Tribe, who had already received the news, naturally started dispatching their Large Army to the Bone Demon Cave without cease.
"Take over this Monster’s Territory!" Seeing the Large Army of Beastman arriving, Zhou Tian was filled with confidence in taking over the Territory of the Bone Demon Clan, and under the circumstance where the Bone Demon Clan was not resisting, he directly issued the order to take over the entire territory of the Bone Demon Clan.
Upon receiving Zhou Tian’s order, his subordinates, the Large Army of Beastman, did not hesitate in their actions. On hearing Zhou Tian’s command, the Members of the Large Army of Beastman immediately began to occupy the Underground Space they were in.
The occupation of the Bone Demon Territory started out quite smoothly; even the Bone Demons themselves did not resist, so naturally, Zhou Tian encountered no problems in taking over their territory. As a result, just a few minutes after Zhou Tian’s order was issued, his Large Army of Beastman had occupied that piece of Underground Space.
However, right after Zhou Tian’s Large Army of Beastman occupied that space, Zhou Tian’s actions soon encountered trouble. Moreover, the troubles encountered by Zhou Tian’s Large Army of Beastman were quite significant, so if they were not properly handled, Zhou Tian figured that taking over that Bone Demon’s territory might have already become impossible.
"What’s going on?" Zhou Tian had not expected that, just as his plan was going smoothly and it seemed that he could annex the Bone Demons, his Large Army of Beastman, while taking over the Bone Demon’s Territory, unexpectedly encountered unforeseen troubles.
There was no resistance from the Bone Demons, but just as Zhou Tian’s Large Army of Beastman took over the Underground Space they were in and proceeded towards the upper space, they suddenly encountered an Energy Barrier blocking their way, ultimately rendering Zhou Tian’s Large Army of Beastman completely unable to advance to the upper space because of the barrier.
When Zhou Tian encountered this situation, his first response was to call those Bone Demons to him and directly ask about the barrier.
Although Zhou Tian was aware that those Bone Demons, given their situation, probably didn’t understand much about the current world’s circumstances. Still, Zhou Tian was certain that even though those Bone Demons were destitute, by virtue of living in this space for several months longer than he did, they indeed knew a bit more about certain matters.
In fact, after hearing Zhou Tian’s questions, those Bone Demons indeed shared some information they knew.
"Your Majesty, we also do not know how those barriers came to be. Ever since we were born, we were thrown into this space. Whenever we’ve tried to leave, we would often be blocked by that barrier. Otherwise, facing constant attacks from living beings of other worlds every day, we would have fled long ago."
"Moreover, it is said that upper-level Monsters have entered our space before, but once they came into our space, they couldn’t return. But because the living beings from other worlds are fewer here than above, it’s safer for us down here. Therefore, those among us who could, often tried to break into the lower space. Only because we are already at the top, we no longer have opportunities for promotion."

With each Bone Demon sharing bit by bit of information, though each knew not very much, as they completely let go of their guards to curry favor with Zhou Tian by telling him everything they knew, Zhou Tian, on his part, actually managed to deduce some facts after combining what those Bone Demons knew.
Zhou Tian had initially viewed the Monster Forces within the Sphere of Influence of players with the same old perception he had when he started his rise on the Continent, never considering that the situation of the Monster Forces within the current Sphere of Influence of players could be so vastly different from what he had encountered before.
Though he had not personally experienced it, from the tones of those Bone Demons, Zhou Tian had already made out how excruciating their days were. He believed that had they not been forced to their last options, those Bone Demons certainly wouldn’t have spoken openly about their desire to flee!
Zhou Tian did not doubt that, if not for that barrier, those Bone Demons, given an opportunity, could possibly have all fled. Thus, when a Monster force even abandons its own territory, no matter how formidable the players were, he guessed that they would eventually be helpless against those Bone Demons!
