The Game with Fairies

On the blood-stained official road, Li Muyang’s controlled tiger, the Lord of Mount Wu, stood under the moonlight and roared.

Of the dozens of soldiers escorting the supplies, the Lord of Mount Wu had killed half, and the rest had fled.

Lord of Mount Wu’s combat power was too strong. He easily tormented those ordinary soldiers.

However, after killing more than twenty mortals, Li Muyang realized that the Lord of Mount Wu’s evolution method was different from that of the Emerald Blade Mantis.

This fierce tiger could only gain evolutionary value by consuming humans.

The Emerald Blade Mantis could attack any animal to gain evolutionary value, but the Lord of Mount Wu could only gain it by attacking living humans.

Moreover, the evolutionary value gained from killing a living person was very low.

He had killed more than twenty people and only gained 3.7% evolutionary value.

“This tiger’s evolutionary potential really can’t compare to the Emerald Blade Mantis.”

Not to mention, the fact that the Lord of Mount Wu could only devour humans as targets put him at a significant disadvantage compared to the Emerald Blade Mantis.

The Emerald Blade Mantis, with its 120% evolutionary potential, could devour any living moving creature to evolve.

However, using the Lord of Mount Wu to kill the soldiers of the Blood Lotus Sect and loot their food and supplies was convenient.

Li Muyang directed the Lord of Mount Wu towards the carts of military provisions, and the splendid tiger, carrying a torch, set all the provisions ablaze.

Afterward, it swallowed the spiritual medicine from the convoy and disappeared into the darkness.

【You have devoured a copy of the spiritual object, evolutionary value +13%, Blood Lotus Sect hostility +3%. Would you like to claim your current reward?】

【Note: After the reward is claimed, this copy of the level will be permanently closed.】

Just like a time-limited game, once you clear this time-limited level and claim the reward, you can no longer enter this copy.

Li Muyang didn’t hesitate and chose to claim the reward immediately.

The evolutionary value of Lord of Mount Wu in his field of vision increased by 13%. But the distance to the next stage of evolution was still far off.

As for the +3% hostility from the Blood Lotus Sect… Li Muyang didn’t care.

After directing the splendid tiger back into the jungle, Li Muyang logged out.

The efficiency of evolving only by killing was too low. He didn’t plan to properly train the Lord of Mount Wu character.

Although this tiger was very powerful from the start, its upper limit was too low, and leveling up was too slow. Its only use was to farm minions and burn the Blood Lotus Sect’s provisions.

Now that he had successfully destroyed the Blood Lotus Sect’s supplies, Li Muyang reloaded the game and returned to the perspective of the Emerald Blade Mantis.

The entirely Emerald Blade Mantis lay in wait in the mountain forest.

Li Muyang controlled this mantis, with its 120% evolutionary potential, and leaped towards a tiger head bee ahead.

After a simple fight, the Emerald Blade Mantis’s evolutionary value increased by 3%, and the progress bar for evolution in his field of vision rose slightly.

After devouring the tiger head bee on the ground, Li Muyang targeted a cicada perched on a tree for attack.

The mantis leaped up, its slender and graceful body like an exquisite emerald carving, splendid and beautiful.

Its sharp blade-like arms swept through the air, piercing the cicada on the tree trunk, and the shrill sound of the cicada ceased…

Li Muyang began to control the Emerald Blade Mantis, wandering through the mountain forest, continuously searching for insects and small birds in his field of vision to attack.

When night fell, Li Muyang’s Emerald Blade Mantis had accumulated enough evolutionary value to evolve once again.

This evolution took a bit more time, so Li Muyang spent two hours in 《Deadly Weed》 accompanying Xiao Yecao on a mountain outing.

When he returned to 《Endless Evolution》, he saw that the Emerald Blade Mantis had finished evolving.

After two consecutive evolutions, the Emerald Blade Mantis was now nearly half a zhang long.

Its slender arm blades reflected the moonlight, giving off a jade-like luster. Above the mantis’s head, the health bar now had a title.

【Emerald Blade Mantis (Tier 3)】

Looking at the half-zhang-long Emerald Blade Mantis, Li Muyang couldn’t help but switch perspectives, examining it repeatedly.

The Tier 3 Emerald Blade Mantis had not only grown in size but had also become more elegant in appearance.

Li Muyang rarely described things as beautiful, but this half-zhang-long, entirely emerald-green mantis, without a hint of impurity, was indeed splendid and seemed as if it were carved from jade.

After evolving to Tier 3, the Emerald Blade Mantis’s combat power also became stronger.

At this point, the Emerald Blade Mantis could expand its hunting range to include small animals like mountain mice and bats.

When Li Muyang attacked small insects like tiger head bees and cicadas, the amount of evolutionary value gained sharply decreased.

Clearly, the system encouraged the Emerald Blade Mantis to attack creatures of the same level or even higher, not giving Li Muyang a chance to exploit it by continuously killing small flying insects for points.

Li Muyang controlled the Emerald Blade Mantis in the mountain forest, leaping in the night, attacking bats hanging upside down on treetops, and continuing its evolutionary journey.

……

Meanwhile, about five hundred li away from the cliff where Li Muyang resided, on a certain official road, forty-three Blood Lotus Sect soldiers were carrying torches, escorting a carriage forward.

They completely occupied this land, and although the Blood Lotus Sect soldiers escorting the important provisions and spiritual medicine were relaxed and not very vigilant, laughter and chatter spread among the team, echoing in the dark surrounding forest.

However, amidst the flickering of the torches, a large and imposing shadow vaguely appeared on the road ahead.

The shadow stood firmly on the road like a massive boulder.

The soldiers escorting the provisions were stunned for a moment and instinctively stopped in their tracks.

Just then, the moonlight fell on the road, revealing the formidable and terrifying striped tiger shadow.

A fierce and ominous aura seemed to resonate in the air.

The Blood Lotus Sect soldiers immediately let out cries of extreme terror.

“A tiger! It’s a tiger!”

“A white-foreheaded tiger!”

……

In Tianjiao City, reports of a man-eating tiger coming down from the mountains quickly reached the former city lord’s mansion.

What used to symbolize the authority of the Demonic Sect and the status of the city lord had now become a temporary office for Miss Shen of the Blood Lotus Sect to handle military affairs and battle reports.

The relentless offensive from the Demon Refining Sect put tremendous pressure on everyone in the Blood Lotus Sect.

Even with the support of the ancient immortal artifact, the Four Directions Cauldron, the followers of the Blood Lotus Sect were still struggling to resist.

After all, this war was fought with less than two hundred thousand troops hard-pressed against a total assault from over a million troops on six fronts.

The report of the man-eating tiger destroying the supply carts, although delivered to the city lord’s mansion, was naturally not significant enough to reach Miss Shen’s desk.

After a simple review by Banner Master Qu Shihong under Miss Shen, the incident of the man-eating tiger was glossed over.

With the current urgency of the war, the front lines were holding against the six-front total assault of the Demon Refining Sect, and the Blood Lotus Sect had almost mobilized all their combat strength.

They had no spare force to clear out a tiger that occasionally came down from the mountains.

The report of the man-eating tiger was thus lightly dismissed, and no one paid it any mind.

That is until similar incidents of the tiger attacking people occurred over and over again in the following month.

After seventeen instances of supply carts being destroyed and over four hundred casualties among the Blood Lotus Sect, they finally realized something was amiss.

“This mountain tiger… is it specifically robbing our sect’s supply carts?”

***

TLN: Millions of soldiers taking some time to defeat around 200 thousand people might seem weird, but as far as I remember (been a while since I read it), the power of the Four Directions Cauldron is somewhat op for an army. (Will be explained later)
