Mighty Lord

Chapter 1117: 443

First and foremost, when Zhou Tian fought against those NPC demigods, regardless of how careful he was, his monsters were certainly heavily damaged. And when Zhou Tian annexed the monsters within those player forces, there was also a definite loss of resources. However, given Zhou Tian’s foundation, the loss of those resources would not affect his development, but to avoid accidents, it would be best to replenish his resources whenever there was no combat.

But how could he best replenish the resources he had consumed?

For monsters, there are quite a few methods to replenish resources, but if one were to choose the most direct method, hunting players would certainly be the most appropriate choice.

Due to the impact of the world’s balance rules, when players have a natural ability to suppress monsters, if the monsters could kill the players, they would also reap far greater gains than usual.

After killing a player, not only could the monsters’ clan obtain some energy to support the operation of the Demonic Transformation Pool, but also because players provided a large amount of experience, monsters could use the act of killing players to enhance their own strength. Thus, the act of killing players brought tremendous benefits to the monster clan, making it worthwhile for the monsters to go into a frenzy.

For a monster force, aside from the strength of the clan’s boss, the main factors that determine the strength of the clan are the number of monsters and the ratio of elite monsters within the clan.

Undoubtedly, based on the monsters’ situation, the help brought by killing players was definitely adequate to help any monster clan recover from their losses.

The special energy gained from killing players could replenish the losses of Zhou Tian’s smaller monsters. Furthermore, increasing the strength of those monsters could also elevate the proportion of elite monsters under Zhou Tian. Thus, despite the already decent strength of Zhou Tian’s clan at the moment, the act of killing players was indeed sufficient to restore their damaged strength.

It was even the case now that Zhou Tian’s strength was too great and it was hard to improve easily; otherwise, using those players to enhance the strength of his clan wouldn’t have been impossible.

Whether Zhou Tian could successfully use those players to recover his strength hinged on whether he could gain an advantage in his struggles against those players.

It was not only Zhou Tian who knew the benefits of killing players, but how many could actually gain benefits from fighting players? Almost all monsters seemed to have been terrified by those players, apart from Zhou Tian.

How difficult it was for a monster to kill a player—though killing a player could replenish the losses of dozens of smaller monsters, the actual ratio of losses was often such that hundreds of monsters’ deaths could hardly lead to the death of one player.

Because they had consistently been unable to pose a significant threat to those players, despite the huge benefits of killing a player, the monster forces were still mostly suppressed by those players, unable to retaliate.

In reality, the beastmen under Zhou Tian were no different, and because of that reason, Zhou Tian had long been wary of those players. Even on the continent where the players originally started, taking the opportunity to develop before them, he managed to kick out those players who were about to grow strong from the battle situation once and for all.

Although those players started afresh elsewhere and began to develop again, it is not hard to see from Zhou Tian’s behavior how wary he really was of those players.

However, although players posed a great threat to Zhou Tian’s beastmen, not only did Zhou Tian not suffer losses in battles against them, but he even managed to store a large amount of special energy, which wouldn’t have been possible without some reason.

What was Zhou Tian relying on?

Zhou Tian relied on a special ability he gained after arriving in this world. In terms of growth, Zhou Tian’s ability had no effect—it neither increased his combat power nor helped him expand his forces. However, Zhou Tian’s ability could eliminate the players’ special barriers, allowing him to confront those players without ever having to worry about suffering losses.

Players without their barriers were not much stronger than monsters of similar level, and when the number of monsters was a hundred times more than theirs, if individual players faced these monsters alone, they might survive, but when two teams clashed, those players would undoubtedly end up in big trouble.

Normally, Zhou Tian had other tasks to attend to, so even though he had that ability, after his advancement, he seldom used his special ability against those players. But clearly, now due to necessity, Zhou Tian had no choice but to make an effort to confront the players using that ability.

Consequently, Zhou Tian was very resolute at the time. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

When it was necessary to leverage those players to recuperate from his own losses, Zhou Tian directly used his special ability when the players invaded his territory, and as his special ability took effect, the entire area controlled by Zhou Tian naturally buzzed with activity.

Although the actual number of monsters did not change, under the influence of Zhou Tian’s ability, the number of monsters appeared greatly increased to those players at that moment. Due to the overwhelming number of monsters, what was usually a risk-free monster hunting session became somewhat unpredictable.

If they did not encounter any trouble, it would be fine, but if they were unlucky and encountered a large group of monsters, no player team could gain any advantage. (To be continued.
