Ren Qi’s expression changed slightly. To be honest, he was shocked when Yang Mei moved just now.
Her speed and strength were already comparable to a Tier-4 soldier or monster.
After all, even with Tina’s help, Ren Qi’s physical strength had only reached Tier 3.
Ren Qi was certain that he could crush most of the new lords.
However, the woman in front of him had displayed the strength of a Tier-4 soldier.
Combining soldiers or monsters to increase her strength?
Ren Qi thought for a moment and looked at Yang Mei. “What secret technique? Can it make me powerful?”
Yang Mei hesitated for a moment. Then, she took out a book from her pocket and threw it to Ren Qi.
Yang Mei had already gambled since she came here.
Ren Qi grabbed the book that the other party threw and realized that it was really a book. It was not something like the holy book that he had guessed.
[ Secret Information of the Territory ]
Ren Qi flipped through it and found that it contained some secret information of the territory. It must be true.
“It’s on page 59,” Yang Mei said.
Ren Qi raised his eyebrows and flipped to page 59. He found that there was a secret method recorded on it.
There was no name, only a detailed record of how to modify one’s body. A lord would eat demonic meat or soldier flesh through a special method to absorb the power in the flesh.
Through this method, humans could increase their physical strength through eating demonic meat or soldier flesh, just like soldiers.
After possessing Tier-5 strength, one could awaken their own body and devour the power of flesh and blood more efficiently.
Ren Qi was slightly surprised. Humans could improve their own bodies by eating demonic meat, but the efficiency was extremely low. This method could increase the efficiency. Moreover, after possessing Tier-5 strength, the efficiency would increase greatly. It was about 70-80% of the efficiency of soldiers.
However, this secret method had a drawback, which was that it would reduce lifespan.
The more flesh and blood consumed, the stronger the increase in strength, and the greater the reduction to the lifespan.
To Ren Qi, this method was meaningless.
After all, he could rely on Tina’s feedback to achieve the same effect of strengthening himself, and there were no side effects.
However, what Ren Qi cared about was that this page was missing half of the record, as if there was something else recorded below.
“Why is there half of the page missing?” Ren Qi looked at Yang Mei and asked.
Yang Mei replied, “I don’t know. This book was passed down in our Yang family. It’S been like this since I got it.”
Ren Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He looked at Yang Mei and said, “Tell me about this book in detail.”
Yang Mei didn’t hide anything. This book was passed down by our Yang family’s ancestors. I heard that a hundred years ago, an ancestor of the Yang family accidentally obtained it. It was passed down to my parents. When I was sixteen, my parents died in an accident. This book ended up in my hands.”
Ren Qi pondered for a moment after listening to her. Then, he looked at Yang Mei and said, “I’m sorry, but this book is of no use to me.”
Although the secret technique recorded in this book was very special and could even mass produce people with strong fighting power, it wasn’t of much use to Ren Qi.
After all, if he gave the succubus demonic meat, their level of advancement would be higher, and he himself wouldn’t be able to use it.
Yang Mei was stunned. After all, this was a secret technique that allowed humans to possess the power of the soldiers. Shouldn’t every lord be tempted?
Although it would reduce their lifespan, even if they used this technique to increase their power to Tier 9, they would only lose 30 years of their lifespan.
She had thought that no lord could resist this temptation, but she hadn’t expected 77 to directly reject her.
Then, Yang Mei said, “Lord 77, don’t worry. We won’t ask you for demonic meat resources. We’ll hunt by ourselves. We just need a place that can protect us.”
“Also, if you’re willing, I can help you build a desolate hunter army. We’ll provide the resources ourselves. As long as you can provide us with protection, we’ll do our best to help if your territory is invaded.”
Ren Qi stopped and turned to look at Yang Mei. Then, he said, “I can let you in, but you have to swear your loyalty to me.”
“Also, copy the secret techniques on this book, and then this book will be mine.”
“If you can agree to these two conditions, I will take you in.”
A Tier-5 territory was very large, and there were not many succubus soldiers at the moment, so Ren Qi didn’t mind providing them space in his territory.
With this book, he could reluctantly take them in.
For some reason, from this woman’s description, Ren Qi had a sharp feeling that this book should have something to do with the global changes a hundred years ago.
That missing half a page might have some secrets.
Even if he guessed wrong, they would be self-sufficient, and there would be no loss to him.
Yang Mei thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Although they had the secret technique and could increase their strength by hunting monsters, without the protection of the territory, their lives wouldn’t be in danger before they matured.
Ren Qi nodded and led them into the territory.
As the mirage rippled, Yang Mei and the others entered the territory.
Everyone, including Yang Mei, was stunned.
They raised their heads in shock and looked at the huge city wall in front of them, disbelief written all over their faces.
This! This is 77s real territory?!”
“I had some doubts about how 77 could block the golden dragon’s attack, but now it seems like it was no surprise.”
‘This… is this really the territory of a new lord? It’s like a small city.”
Li Shengnan and the others began to discuss, their expressions filled with shock.
After a short moment of shock, Yang Mei’s eyes revealed a hint of excitement.
She had come to the right place!
For her, all she needed was a place that could protect her while she continuously increased her strength through hunting.
Was there a place that had a stronger protection than the territory in front of her?
The city gate opened and Ren Qi led Yang Mei and the others in.
Soon, Ren Qi led everyone to the front of the City Lord’s mansion, in front of his huge stone statue.
Turning around to look at Yang Mei and the others, Ren Qi said, “You can swear here that you are not allowed to betray my territory. Otherwise, your soul will be eternally damned.”
This huge stone statue was based on Ren Qi’s original form. It appeared when a Tier-5 territory formed.
The hidden effect of this stone statue appeared when one swore allegiance to the lord’s territory in front of it. It would cast a dark power on the person who pledged allegiance.
This dark power would not change the loyalty of the person who pledged allegiance. However, when the person who pledged allegiance betrayed the territory, it would be activated and directly extract the soul of the person who pledged allegiance.
Yang Mei and the others didn’t hesitate and directly took the oath.
Among them, Yang Mei and Li Shengnan looked more serious, so the others didn’t care much.
In this kind of environment, one couldn’t believe the words of an ally, so who would believe this so-called oath?
What a weird person. Did he really think that he was a god?
However, what they didn’t know was that the moment the oath was taken, a dark power was planted in the depths of their souls.
Ren Qi brought Yang Mei and the others to the northwest corner of the territory and arranged their accommodations here.
“You can stay here. In the future, when you go hunting, take the west gate. The activity area is also in this area, understand?” Ren Qi looked at Yang Mei and said.
Yang Mei said, “Don’t worry. We won’t wander around the territory.”
Ren Qi nodded. Then, he calculated the time and looked at Yang Mei and the others. “You came at the right time. Let’s go. I’ll show you my pets.”
With that, Ren Qi led Yang Mei and the others toward the Dark Transformation Pool..
