I'm building the perfect territory in the mist.

Chapter 39: Evolving Again, Hell Vanguard!

"My lord, please give your orders!"

Hellscream strode over and said respectfully.

Shen Xing took out the [Inferior Demon Blood Essence] and explained the side effects and risks of the fusion to him, letting him consider it himself.

"No need to consider it, my lord!"

Hellscream replied without hesitation, "Orcs never fear pain. To protect our lord's honor and to lead the orcs to victory, I am willing to endure anything!"

Looking into his determined eyes, Shen Xing nodded solemnly: "Very good, you are a brave warrior."

"Let's start the fusion now. If anything feels wrong, stop immediately."

"yes!"

Hellscream stretched out his large hand, then uncorked the bottle and poured the drop of murky blood into his broad palm.

Immediately afterwards, the blood slowly disappeared, as if it had merged into the body.

At first, Hellscream didn't seem to have any special feeling.

Just seconds later, he suddenly trembled, and his resolute expression was instantly replaced by pain.

Within seconds, his skin turned bright red, and his veins bulged and throbbed, as if countless worms were swimming inside them.

His entire being seemed to be scorched by lava, emanating an aura of destruction.

"Roar...roar..."

Hellscream let out a painful growl, curling up on the ground as if in a spasm, his ten fingers digging deep into his flesh.

"Pfft—"

A tearing sound rang out, and two gashes suddenly appeared on his back, from which a pair of jet-black bat wings began to grow.

This made Hellscream even more miserable, his eyes turning white as if he was about to faint completely.

Shen Xing frowned slightly, somewhat worried that Hellroar might not be able to hold on.

Several orcs nearby also noticed the commotion and turned their gazes over.

Looking at Hellscream's extremely painful yet still unyielding appearance, all the orcs couldn't help but feel a sense of respect.

Even Bloodhowl, who had always wanted to surpass him, couldn't help but grip the axe handle tightly, his expression solemn.

"Roar... The lord once said that powerful warriors are forged in blood and fire!"

Hellscream, enduring the excruciating pain, slowly rose from the ground: "We are orcs, we will never surrender!"

With his extreme willpower, the aura of destruction seemed to be forcibly suppressed, and his restless blood quickly calmed down.

The bright red body gradually cooled down, emitting bursts of heat.

[Congratulations! Your territory unit, 'Hellroar,' has successfully fused with 'Inferior Demon Bloodline,' completing its bloodline evolution.]

[Class: Orc Fighter can advance to Hell Vanguard, all attributes +30%!]

[Master Bloodline Skills: Hellfire (Passive), Evil Flames (Active)]

...

When the prompt ended, the fully transformed Hellscream slowly approached.

His figure became more slender, his limbs were strong and powerful, and circles of dark blue patterns appeared on his upper body.

A pair of black wings fluttered gently behind him, and his whole body was steaming, like a demon general who had just emerged from the depths of hell.

"My lord, I have not failed your expectations." Hellscream knelt on one knee, his voice steady and powerful.

A hint of appreciation appeared in Shen Xing's eyes: "Well done."

"Although you have fused with the bloodline of a lesser demon, remember this."

"Strength does not come from external forces, but from one's own heart and will; true power comes from within ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Hellscream shuddered, the blue markings between his brows gleaming with an eerie light, emanating an aura of wisdom.

Bloodhowl muttered to itself, a look of shock appearing in its eyes, and the red markings between its brows lit up.

Shen Xing was slightly startled. He had only said a few words casually in order to maintain the lord's lofty image.

Could it be that these two orcs have received some kind of inspiration and entered a state of enlightenment?

Hmm, as expected of my two supreme disciples, their comprehension is truly remarkable.

Shen Xing was satisfied, then opened Hellroar's attribute panel and checked the attributes of the new skill.

【Hellfire (Passive): All attacks have the 'Hellfire' effect, which deals continuous damage to enemies and reduces their armor by 3%, stacking up to 5 times.

Lasts 12 seconds

(Note: "Even a stick can become a fire poker in hell in my hands!")

...

【Hellfire (Active): Activates the hellfire within the body, preventing a single target from casting skills for the next 8 seconds and subjecting them to continuous hellfire damage.

This skill cannot be dispelled by normal skills, but there is a certain probability that it can be resisted.

Cooldown time: 10 minutes.

(Note: "The flames from hell will consume your bodies!")

...

How can you reduce armor while still continuously burning enemies?

These two skills are incredibly powerful.

Especially the second active skill, [Evil Fire Burns], can actually prevent enemies from casting skills for a full 8 seconds!

Moreover, it cannot be dispelled by ordinary skills, which is equivalent to a high-level silence.

That's a long enough time for Hellroar to unleash all his skills in one round, and for other units to deal damage for several rounds as well.

"Excellent! This wave of blood fusion has greatly enhanced my abilities. It's like an old lady eating Sichuan peppercorns—it's incredibly satisfying!" Shen Xing thought with delight.

At this moment, the two arrow towers at the village entrance suddenly launched an attack automatically, and the sound of arrows piercing the air rang out.

"Enemy attack! Prepare for battle!"

Bloodhowl abruptly snapped out of that state of enlightenment and let out a loud roar.

The entire territory instantly went into battle mode.

A dozen orcs carrying stone axes ran quickly to the village entrance.

Six skeleton archers drew their bows, and dark arrows rapidly materialized.

Shen Xing also pushed the wheelchair, raising his right hand, and a ball of eerie green fire continuously condensed in the air.

However, despite everyone's heightened vigilance, no monster appeared in the mist; instead, a yellow light was seen approaching.

A group of light elves, composed entirely of elements, emerged from the mist, surrounding a woman in a white dress as they slowly approached.

At the very front of the procession were two exceptionally robust light elf giants, each conjuring a light shield with their right hand to deflect the incoming arrows.

"Why is it you?"

Shen Xing paused for a moment, then turned off the arrow tower's automatic attack.

"Of course it's me."

Xia Wanyin's eyes were vacant, and a matter-of-fact smile graced her face: "Didn't I promise yesterday that I would take you to explore the surrounding resource points?"

Shen Xing also remembered this matter, but he did not expect that the other party would actually come directly to his territory.

Thankfully, she almost got to experience the scorching heat of hellfire on her buttocks.

"Spark, is this your territory? Can I go in and take a look?" Xia Wanyin asked expectantly.

Shen Xingxin said, "What's there to see? You're blind, you can't see anything."

But then he remembered that he would need her help to find resource points, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you stand there, I'll come and get you."

After saying that, he pushed the wheelchair along a specific route to Xia Wanyin's side.

Then she was led into the territory, holding onto her wheelchair.

After entering the village, the girl in the white dress closed her eyes, seemingly sensing her surroundings.

"Huh? Such a rich sense of life!"

Xia Wanyin seemed to sense something and asked in surprise, "Xinghuo, do you have any treasures in your territory? You give me a very comfortable feeling."

Shen Xing knew she was referring to the Moon Well, and casually replied.

"Wow! It's such a mysterious building!"

Xia Wanyin exclaimed excitedly, "I've heard that this kind of building is extremely rare; even among extraordinary lords, very few can possess one!"

"Starry Night, do you still have Moon Wells? I'm willing to pay a high price to buy them!"

Shen Xing shook his head: "No, I bought it from the Players Association too."

"All right……"

Xia Wanyin was a little disappointed, but quickly regained her energy: "By the way, Xinghuo, let's add a green bubble, it'll make it easier to contact each other later."

Hearing this request, Shen Xing felt strange.

But considering that his territory was so close to hers and that they had established an alliance, he knew they might have to deal with each other frequently in the future.

So he nodded and told her his Green Bubble number.

A moment later, my phone vibrated in my pocket.

Upon opening it, a friend request appeared.

"Bring Her Eyes" has requested to add you as a friend.

The profile picture is a cartoon version of a double photo, with two girls leaning together and smiling at the camera.

Shen Xing glanced at Xia Wanyin beside him and clicked "agree".

As for how blind people can use the green bubble, it's because modern chat software has an accessibility mode.

With the addition of AI iterations and voice functionality, smooth communication is still possible.

"Okay, it's been added."

Xia Wanyin's tone was cheerful, then she turned around and said, "Let's explore the resource points in the mist while we still have time."

"OK."

Shen Xing had the same idea. There were still a few hours left for the lantern exploration today, and they couldn't waste them.

Then, with Grom Hellscream and half of the orc army, he headed towards the village entrance.

Bloodhowl and Roar led the remaining troops to stay and defend the territory.

"call…"

The lantern was lit, and its orange light illuminated an area of ​​thirty meters in radius.

Shen Xing was sitting in a wheelchair, carried on the shoulder of an orc, with five other orcs beside him.

Xia Wanyin was surrounded by more than a dozen light sprites.

The group of more than twenty people, carrying lanterns, disappeared into the mist.

Bloodhowl and Roar led the remaining orcs and skeletons on patrol around the territory.

...

...

at the same time.

Several hundred meters from the territory, in an open area shrouded in thick fog.

The brown-haired youth held up a monocular telescope, staring at the disappearing figures of Shen Xing and the others, a slight smile curving his lips.

"Hehe...They've left, it's our turn to take the stage."

"I never expected that this newbie territory would have a Moon Well and two unit nests. It's enough to make me a fortune."
