However, they still had to fight the monsters. That was the most suitable place nearby. There might be more suitable places further away. However, if they were too far away from the dungeon, they would not be able to achieve their goal of monopolizing the dungeons. Other players could build other fortresses on the other side.
However, Lin Xiao didn't make a move right away. Instead, he hid in the hills and built a temporary camp, leading a team to grind monsters every day.
He still felt that he wasn't strong enough. It was better to grind for levels.
Disregarding everything else, he had to raise the Leader and Lord-tier main subordinates to LV75 first.
Apart from that, it had been more than a year since he left the Shatar Ruins. Every month, he would take out a bloodline essence from the Tesseract of Fortune to strengthen his subordinates. Now, he had accumulated a total of 12 bloodline essences. Five of them were the bloodline essences of Star Elves, while the remaining seven were the bloodline essences of Nagas. One of them was enough to create a Lord-class warrior.
These five bloodline essences created two new Priest Leaders. Of the remaining three, two were from the Ice Elves and one was from the Fire Elves.
If there were no accidents, Lin Xiao would be able to obtain all the bloodline essences from his true self. Because they were only Sub Legendary, the Astral Elves had to use the blood essence of a dozen Legendary Astral Elves to create a Lord ranked Astral Elves. It wasn't like the Great Naga, who could only use grade 7 Naga Warriors to create Lord ranked subordinates.
In other words, it would be very difficult for him to obtain bloodline essences that could create Lord ranked Astral Elves in the future unless a new Legendary Astral Elf was born.
Extracting bloodline essences once would have a certain effect on his true self. He definitely couldn't extract them more than once, unless he was willing to cripple his subordinates.
Of course, he couldn't obtain large amounts of Lord ranked Astral Elves, but he could extract bloodline essences from Legendary Astral Elves. The only downside was that he wouldn't be able to create a Lord ranked NPC, only an Elite ranked Astral Mage.
The bloodline essence of the Lord-level Astral Mage that he had previously obtained came from a legendary Astral Spirit whose bloodline density and strength were extremely powerful. His name was Julian, and Lin Xiao saw the potential to become a hero in him. His bloodline was strong enough to create a Lord-level Astral Mage.
Of the seven Great Naga Bloodline Essences, two were Archers, four were Warriors, and one was a Lord Archer.
This time, Lin Xiao's main body hadn't prepared too many Bloodline Essences that could be used to enhance a Lord's Bloodline. He had to extract them from the four Tier 9 Mythic ranked Great Lords of Naga. There were only four in total, and he had already extracted them three times. This was his last time.
On the other hand, Naga's Bloodline Essence was slightly lacking. She was unable to raise her subordinates' templates to the level of a Lord, or even a Leader, so there was no need for that.
NPC subordinates leveled up much faster than players. Lin Xiao had spent so much time grinding his way to Level 72. Among his subordinates, the highest-leveled one was already Level 72, while the highest-leveled one was Level 74.
The overall level of the Demons roaming this shattered continent called Purgatory was one rank higher than Hellfire. The EXP gained here was much higher than anywhere else. Every day, they slaughtered like crazy. Even Lin Xiao and his girlfriend's EXP soared, not to mention their subordinates.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. The Bloodline Essences transferred from the Fortune Cube had all been upgraded to Warriors. Now, there were a total of 14 Commander-class Warriors.
By the time all of his subordinates had reached Level 75, with the two highest-leveled ones reaching Level 76, Lin Xiao finally started dealing with the Demonized Bear subordinate.
This tribe wasn't too big. Nearly a thousand Demonized Bears lived in this mountainous basin about a kilometer in diameter. After half a year of observation, Lin Xiao discovered that they would send out Demonized Bears to hunt for food every day. Therefore, Lin Xiao waited for them on their way out and intercepted their hunting parties. After killing their most elite Warriors, he blocked one of their exits.
He wasn't worried about the Demonized Bears escaping. Under normal circumstances, a tribe like this wouldn't abandon their home and flee.
Moreover, Lin Xiao would be very happy if they really did escape. It would save him a lot of effort.
This tribe of Demonized Bears had a Level 80 Commander-class Boss. They were usually the local tyrants, so how could they be willing to leave? After a period of chaos, many Demonized Bears came out of their cocoons and attacked his position.
This was exactly what Lin Xiao wanted. The Warriors blocked the front while the Mages in the back began to show their might.
Blizzard, Fire Rain, Thunder Cloud, and Arcane Rain fell from the sky. The four types of energy mixed together and made the Demonized Bears feel like they were in purgatory. They were quickly annihilated on the way.
Wave after wave of bear monsters died in battle, and it finally angered the leader of the demonized bear monsters in the valley. The bear monster that had killed Lin Xiao half a year ago roared and charged out of the valley. Every few meters it charged, its body would grow. By the time it reached the entrance of the valley, it had already turned into a giant bear monster that was more than thirty meters tall. Its entire body was wrapped in thick lightning, and it slammed its gigantic palm that was wrapped in lightning.
Boom!
A blazing white lightning exploded along with the giant paw that slammed into the ground and blasted towards the line of defense like lightning.
Without waiting for Lin Xiao's order, Sven No. 1, who had turned into a Big Naga, raised his greatsword and stabbed it deep into the ground. A circle of golden light exploded and turned into a glittering shield with fine patterns. The blazing white lightning hit the shield and burst into a dazzling light.
"Kill it!"
The Astral Mage immediately summoned a huge Astral Chain to anchor the Demonized Bear in place. The newly promoted Lord-class Archer, Starchaser, took out an arrow and nocked it on his bow. A faint golden light gathered on the arrow and quickly condensed into a dazzling golden arrow.
The golden light flashed and disappeared. At the same time, a huge wound that could fit a person exploded on the Demonized Bear's body. The inside of the wound was scorched black.
The Mages began to cast their ultimate skills at the same time. The four Lord-class Warriors drew their swords and rushed towards the Demonized Bear. Halfway through, they all turned into Big Naga and pressed down on the Demonized Bear. Lightning crackled around the Demonized Bear's body, but it was unable to hurt the Big Naga.
Although they were four levels lower than the Demonized Bear Leader, their templates were enough to make up for the difference. Any Lord-class Warrior could take on the Demonized Bear alone, not to mention now that there was a group of them. The Demonized Bear Leader could not fight back and was suppressed on the spot. All kinds of indiscriminate bombardment lasted for a few minutes. Just as it was about to be hammered to death, Lin Xiao ordered them to stop and let it breathe.
He had a bold idea. He wanted to see if he could tame the Demonized Bear.
Although it was a demonized monster, this guy still retained a trace of rationality. There was a possibility of communication.
Of course, the main reason was that he had his eyes on this big guy. In any case, it was a Level 80 Demonized Bear Shaman with the template of a Level 80 Demonized Bear Leader. Its combat power was quite strong, and it did not need to be trained. It was worth a try.
If he succeeded, he could use this method to conquer the other demonized Demonized Bosses on this broken floating continent in the future.
About half an hour later, the Demonized Bear Leader recovered. It roared angrily and began to struggle again. The blazing lightning bolts that were thicker than a person forced Lin Xiao to stay far away, not daring to approach. This guy was too strong. Even with his less than 10,000 HP, he would be instantly killed if he touched it.
Fortunately, his subordinates were all tanky. Several of the Lord-class Warriors had over 4,000,000 HP after reaching Level 75 or Level 76. Coupled with their strong defense and resistance, the lightning bolts that could instantly kill him were nothing to them.
Using the same method to beat the Demonized Bear Leader until it could no longer take care of itself, Lin Xiao shouted from afar.
"Surrender, or die!"
What answered him was an angry struggle.
"Keep beating!"
Using the same method, they kept beating it to the brink of death and letting it recover on its own.
On the other side, more and more Demonized Bears were killed, making the Demonized Bear Leader even angrier.
It was worth mentioning that the Demonized Bear Tribe's Demonic Bears were all Elites. They were at least Level 70, and there were also dozens of Enhanced Elite Leaders. Among them, there was no lack of Shaman Bears that could cast spells. The Healing Totems they cast could heal a large area, which was very useful on a chaotic battlefield.
"Surrender?"
"Keep beating!"
Half an hour later:
"Surrender?"
"Keep beating!"
Ten hours later:
"Are you still going to surrender?"
"Roar!"
"Keep beating!"
Lin Xiao waved his hand, his heart wavering. He had beaten the Demonized Bears back and forth in the valley twenty to thirty times. They had long been forced back into the valley, but this guy still refused to surrender.
If not for the fear of provoking this guy and making it impossible to tame, he would have killed all the Demonized Bears.
His girlfriend also frowned and said:
"Can it be that Demonized Creatures can't be tamed?"
Lin Xiao shook his head:
"It doesn't make sense. Even unintelligent beasts can be tamed. This guy must have some intelligence. Logically speaking, I should be able to tame it. It should be that my method is wrong."
He pinched his chin and looked at the Demonized Bear Leader who was beaten to a pulp. Various methods flashed through his mind, but he felt that none of them were reliable.
It was a pity that this guy didn't cooperate. He didn't dare to observe closely. Otherwise, if he studied it closely, there might be a way.
"Nainai, lock it up first."
He had already wasted more than ten hours, and he wasn't going to do it anymore.
He let two Warriors hold it down and keep it in a near-death state to prevent any problems. The other subordinates attacked the valley. As long as there was a strong resistance, they would kill them all.
Demonized Bears were a subspecies of Bearman. Most of them resisted fiercely, and many of them attacked the defense line as if they wanted to save their leader.
They were all killed. Soon, a large number of Demonized Bears were killed. The black blood of the Demonized Bears dyed the valley black.
Until a certain moment, when the Lord-level Warrior Sven No. 3 raised his sword and slashed at a Strengthened Elite Demonized Bear, the Demonized Bear Leader who had been struggling suddenly let out a cry. Then he found that the name of the Demonized Bear Leader who had been resisting turned from the hostile blood red to the friendly green. At the same time, a system prompt appeared in his eyes:
"The Demonized Bear Tribe Leader is willing to surrender to you. Current loyalty is 13100."
"Good Lord, this guy is going to betray me at any time!"
Lin Xiao's face was full of joy. No matter how much loyalty it had, as long as it could be tamed, it was a good thing. With loyalty, it meant that it could be improved.
