On the Twin Dragon Mount, many strange buildings had been added to the fort that had changed a lot from the sky.
"It's so hot!"
The doors and windows were all closed, and the temperature outside Ji Ye's room seemed to be much higher than anywhere else.
"Master is training. Nobody is to disturb him."
Two Ordinary Rank-8 Elite soldiers in full black and gray wolf leather armor were sweating profusely, but they held their posts firmly.
Inside the room, Ji Ye, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, wasn't covering most of his body, because all his pores were releasing hot air.
It had even gathered into a huge ball above his head.
Fortunately, the underwear that the Graywolf King dropped was made of special material, and it was enough to cover the critical parts even in such a situation.
Hum!
Suddenly, the air paused, and Ji Ye opened his eyes.
Immediately after, a wave of intense heat that could be clearly felt rushed out in all directions, causing the windows and doors of the room to tremble. Even the fallen leaves on the ground outside were moved, and the temperature in the room suddenly rose by more than ten degrees!
"Finally, I've reached Extraordinary Rank-5!"
Ji Ye exhaled, which made the temperature around him rise a little more.
Compared with the previous ranks, Extraordinary Rank-5 was of greater significance.
Take the Nine Yang Divine Art as an example. The first four ranks, from Comprehension (0), Basic (1), Control (2) to Lesser Mastery (3 and 4), were all about the accumulation of inner strength.
However, there would be quantitative changes in Extraordinary Rank-5, because once the Nine Yang Divine Art reached the level of Adept, the inner strength could be transformed into the hottest True Qi.
Theoretically speaking, it was already possible to release one's inner qi!
Sizzle!
Ji Ye stretched out his hand and slapped it on the ground covered in brown bear fur. When he lifted his hand, a charred palm print could be clearly seen on it.
"If I slap the enemy in a battle and inject my True Qi into their body, it'll probably burn their internal organs. The enemy's internal organs will probably be on fire. I can probably kill the Mirage Monsters through the shell, and it'll be even more difficult for ghosts to resist! "
Ji Ye evaluated the power of his imitation True Qi of the Nine Yang Divine Art. It was definitely not inferior to the original.
Also, since he could release such a powerful heat, he naturally had the ability to resist heat. Theoretically, he could pick up the Frost Iron Cannon and shoot it with his hands like Ling Zhen did. Because his body was stronger, he could even be as steady as a mountain under the impact.
Eight days had passed since the "fisherman who reaped the benefits" battle.
The Twin Dragon Mount fort, which swallowed the Sludge Monsters' settlement core five days ago, had already advanced to Extraordinary Rank-3.
This time, he didn't get a Soul of Civilization like the first time he leveled up.
However, after leveling up, the Scarlet Pip, Stone Milk, and even the Soul Jade in the new Soul Race settlement below had all increased in speed.
It was obvious that the advantage of a settlement after its advancement would be greater and greater than that of the other settlements. It was safe to say that, except for the Eagle Man settlement that had completed its second advancement two days ago, the other settlements had completely lost the qualification to compete with the human race!
"Fort Master, you're out of seclusion!"
They saw Ji Ye walking out of the room.
Two specially selected Grade-8 elite guards immediately saluted with reverence and surprise on their faces.
"Where are the chiefs?"
Ji Ye asked them.
To make a breakthrough to Extraordinary Rank-5, he had been in seclusion for two days. He was indeed out of touch with the outside world.
"Chief Wu is guarding outside the Metal Men's territory with his men, and Chief Lu and Chief Ling have gone to fight the Forest Monsters with their men!"
One of the guards replied respectfully.
When he was standing outside the door, he could clearly feel the astonishing heat.
At this moment, the Fort Master, who had just walked out of the room, gave him the feeling that he was even stronger than the Jade Qilin of Hebei, who was known to be the best stick master in the world on the Liangshan Lake!
"Well … It's about time. It's time to finish the Forest Monsters for good.
"You can come with me. Maybe you'll have a chance to have a go!"
Hearing that, Ji Ye thought of something. He nodded, returned to his room, and went down the mountain with a few items!
…
To the west of the Twin Dragon Mount was a very strange forest. The trees there were as smooth as green onions. Each of them was almost a hundred meters tall, and it would take several people to encircle them.
On the trees, entangling vines were hanging everywhere!
On the ground, it was more like a river in a tropical rainforest. There was mud and swamps everywhere.
"Wula!"
"Wula!"
At this moment, some weirdly-shaped creatures were hanging on the vines.
They were like gorillas, but they did not have any fur on their bodies. Instead, they had a slimy green, frog-like skin, and four thick arms on their shoulders. Each of them leaped on the vines in the air like Tarzan, roaring loudly!
"Master!"
When Ji Ye and the two guards arrived, Lu Zhishen was standing with Ling Zhen. Behind them were almost a hundred fully-armed soldiers of the Twin Dragon Mount.
Two Heaven Shaking Thunder cannons were set up, and their muzzles were aimed at the Forest Monsters' territory.
However, the two parties didn't directly start a battle, because at the border of the two settlements …
At this moment, a duel was going on.
"Wula!"
One of the green-skinned Forest Monsters roared and charged at the humans with thick club-like weapons in all four of their arms.
"Come on!"
In front of it was a human.
A Rank-7 Elite of the Twin Dragon Mount, who was holding a shield and a dagger, was fighting the Forest Monster with four arms.
According to the Twin Dragon Mount's original plan, they would attack the Forest Monsters and the Metal Men after the settlement was upgraded to Rank-3.
However, the scouts that were sent to gather intelligence were caught off guard by a particularly tall Forest Monster King and a bunch of Forest Monsters who jumped down from the vines and surrounded them when they entered the Forest Monsters' territory.
After that, the Forest Monsters didn't kill the scouts. Instead, they let them all go.
At the same time, they stood at the edge of the forest and shouted at the human beings in a thunderous voice.
The human beings didn't know what the Forest Monsters were up to at first. They didn't understand what the Forest Monsters meant until they invited Elder Meng, who had the Universal Translator.
The Forest Monster King asked the human beings to duel with them. The two parties would fight 11 times in total. The winner could continue the duel, and the loser could admit defeat and leave.
If the human beings won in the end, the Forest Monsters would voluntarily give up their settlement. Otherwise, the human beings would suffer even more losses if they attacked by force!
It was certainly rare for the human beings to negotiate with the alien races about how to fight.
After all, the Eagle Men, the Soul race, and even the Sludge Monsters and the Mirage Monsters all attacked the human beings as soon as they met. However, the Forest Monsters, who seemed to be reckless and hot-tempered, chose to communicate with the human beings and even make a deal with them first.
Of course, the decision-makers of the Twin Dragon Mount couldn't have failed to see through the Forest Monsters' intentions.
These intelligent creatures seemed to be rude and hot-tempered, but they knew better than other species that they wouldn't have any chance of winning if they fought a desperate battle against the human beings who had reached Rank-3.
However, if they could find a way to stall the human beings instead of fighting them to the death, they might have a chance of winning.
After some discussion, the human beings chose to accept the duel proposal for now.
One of the reasons was that the scouts found that the terrain of the Forest Monsters' settlement was even more special than that of the Sludge Monsters'.
The trees were a hundred meters tall and had smooth surfaces, making it impossible for human beings to climb them.
Once the Forest Monsters hid in the trees, there was barely any way to attack them except with cannons. It wouldn't be easy to destroy them.
The other reason was that the human beings wanted to take the opportunity to train their soldiers.
After all, while most of the elites of the Twin Dragon Mount were strong and had memories of the battles they had fought after they went to Liangshan, they had only faced human beings or monsters before.
However, in the past, they had only faced humans or monsters. This time, they were facing an intelligent race. This would undoubtedly allow them to gain more experience from the battle!
Also, they would be able to grasp the Forest Monsters' way of fighting and prepare for the general attack.
Yes, human beings were going to destroy the Forest Monsters' settlement from the beginning to the end.
No matter whether they won or lost the duel!
However, what the human decision-makers did not expect was that the outcome of the duel was neither victory nor defeat. Instead, it was a draw for four consecutive days.
It was because once the human beings won a certain number of rounds, the Forest Monster King would take the field in person.
Then, the human beings would win every round.
Even Lu Zhishen was defeated by the Forest Monster King.
It was because, according to Li Qing's combat ability detection, the Forest Monster King had reached Extraordinary Rank-5 and entered the stage of qualitative change.
That was undoubtedly unbelievable.
After all, even the resourceful Mirage Monsters only had an Extraordinary Rank-4 Commander.
However, considering the fact that none of the other Forest Monsters were Extraordinary, the reason was more or less obvious.
Obviously, all the Extraordinary resources of the Forest Monsters had been occupied by the Forest Monster King. As a result, not only had it reached Extraordinary Rank-5, it was also equipped with extremely luxurious equipment.
The protective items it was wearing and the four sticks it was holding were all Extraordinary items too.
Furthermore, they weren't even Common Extraordinary items!
Moreover, it was hard for Lu Zhishen, who only had the Frost Metal Meditation Staff, to defeat the Forest Monster.
"Wula, wula …"
At this moment, the roars of the Forest Monsters from the vines on the opposite side suddenly burst out like thunder.
It was because on the battlefield, the soldier holding the shield had been sent flying with blood spurting out of his mouth and nose. Although the Forest Monster's belly had been pierced through, it completely ignored the soldier and smashed the Forest Monster with its stick!
