Super Invincible Upgrade

Chapter 168: Chapter168

The tribe returned fully loaded, filled with celebration. This harvest was the largest since their hunts. Just digging out the crystal cores and cleaning up the canyon took a whole day. During this period, the topic of discussion among all the men, women, old and young in the tribe was all centered around Zhou Peng. The benefactor of the tribe, the messenger of the gods, the god sent by heaven to save the Luo clan. All kinds of discussions made Zhou Peng himself feel embarrassed. Compared to strength, he really wasn't that powerful. He might not even be Luo Yue's opponent. However, for the Underworld Sea Race who lived at the bottom of the Underworld Sea all year round, Zhou Peng could release lightning. That made him a lofty god. Two days later, it was the day for the demonic cavalry messengers to collect the crystal cores. Early in the morning, Luo Yue had people pile up the crystal cores in the center of the tribe's square. The crystal cores piled up like a mountain emitted dazzling luster and flowed with powerful energy. When Zhou Peng saw it, he was shocked. Fifteen thousand crystal cores were a huge fortune even for a giant immortal sect like the Thousand Mechanisms Sect. It would definitely cause contention among various forces. The Underworld Sea territory had unique conditions. There were a large number of sea beasts in the Underworld Sea. Moreover, it was filled with demonic spiritual energy, which was very suitable for the growth of sea beasts. So much so that even after years of crazy hunting by the Underworld Sea Race, the number of sea beasts didn't decrease but increased instead. "Crystal cores. Luo Hou needs crystal cores." "Zi Yue also needs a large number of crystal cores." "Could they be the same? Do they all cultivate by devouring crystal cores?" Zhou Peng murmured a few words inwardly. Then he patted Luo Feng beside him and said, "Luo Feng, do you know why Luo Hou makes you pay crystal cores?" Luo Feng had been following Zhou Peng closely for the past two days. These two days were the most glorious days for him in the tribe because he was the person who was closest to Zhou Peng. When Zhou Peng asked a question, Luo Feng thought for a moment and shook his head. "I don't know." Zhou Peng nodded slightly. After pondering for a moment, "Have you ever devoured a crystal core?" "Devour crystal cores?" Luo Feng was stunned. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhou Peng. Then, looking at the crystal cores piled up on the square, he said woodenly, "Brother Zhou, are you kidding? Wouldn't swallowing that thing cut your throat? Who would dare eat such a thing?" "Sure enough!" Zhou Peng was shocked and his face was full of astonishment. He never expected that in the isolated Underworld Sea territory, they didn't even know about obtaining power by devouring crystal cores. This tribe was like a primitive tribe and knew nothing. They didn't understand pills, their medical care was backward, they didn't understand cultivation techniques, and they didn't understand devouring crystal cores. All they had was brute strength. With just this brute strength, it was simply a dream to fight against Luo Hou who had become powerful by devouring crystal cores. Now he knew why Luo Hou had been rampaging in just a few years, controlling the entire Underworld Sea territory, ordering everyone to hunt sea beasts and dig out crystal cores to offer to him. Probably Zi Yue also learned about devouring crystal cores only after going ashore. Otherwise, she couldn't have reached the peak of the fourth level of Qiankun Realm. If these more than ten thousand crystal cores were all distributed to the hundred warriors of the tribe for devouring. Zhou Peng was secretly shocked. With the strong physiques of the Underworld Sea Race, the absorption speed would definitely be very fast. The strength would probably increase terrifyingly within a few days. "Here they come. Here they come." "The demonic cavalry messengers are here." There was a commotion in the crowd. Their eyes all changed. They clenched their fists. Anger welled up in their hearts and hatred soared to the sky. On the avenue, eighteen demonic cavalry warriors were surrounded by a fierce aura. Their expressions were wooden. Their eyes coldly looked ahead, extremely cold. They were full of disdain for the people on both sides of the road. A sinister aura faintly released from the black iron armor. The law of aura sensed that the aura within their bodies was extremely evil. It was somewhat similar to the aura on the Nine Heavens Demons. It all carried the evil and cruel meaning of the demon race. Zhou Peng was secretly shocked. "Could they be from the demon race?" The strange fire poured back. The Dark Forest in the demon race's territory was burned to the ground. The remaining demons disappeared overnight. Mysterious and unfathomable. This became one of the biggest mysteries on the Tianyuan Continent. The aura on the demonic cavalry iron-armored warriors was not the aura of humans at all. The fluctuations of the aura flowing within their bodies were all filled with the evil of the demon race. "Could it be that three thousand years ago, Luo Hou jumped into the strange fire and discovered the secrets of the demon race?" "Or could it be that Luo Hou was controlled by the demon race?" "With such a huge number of crystal cores, even a peerless strong person at the Great Perfection realm couldn't devour and absorb them all in a short time. What exactly is Luo Hou up to?" Zhou Peng couldn't help frowning and analyzing secretly. He was worried that there might be a more powerful force behind Luo Hou. "Worry about a fart!" "I'm just a passerby. What does the power behind Luo Hou have to do with me?" Zhou Peng was secretly annoyed and stopped thinking so much. The eighteen demonic cavalry warriors held steel spears, were extremely arrogant, and their expressions were extremely arrogant. The demonic beasts under them were even more unscrupulous in letting out low roars. They swaggered to the square. Looking at the crystal cores piled up like a mountain, the leading demonic cavalry warrior's expression changed. A hint of surprise flashed in his dark eyes. Then he snorted coldly and said, "Luo Yue, come out." Luo Yue carefully walked up. He was extremely humble and respectful. "Messenger, here are fifteen thousand crystal cores. Please check and accept them." "Fifteen thousand crystal cores?" A dull and deep voice sneered. Suddenly, he swung his long spear. The tip of the spear was only a few centimeters away from Luo Yue's eyeball. He shouted angrily, "When did I say it was fifteen thousand crystal cores? What I clearly said was twenty thousand crystal cores. You actually took fifteen thousand crystal cores to deceive me. I think you are courting death." "Twenty thousand crystal cores?!" Everyone was shocked. Last time it was clearly said to be fifteen thousand. In just three days, it became twenty thousand. Did they think they were fools? If it weren't for the tribe's rules that everything was decided by the clan leader, there would definitely be a riot at this time. Luo Yue's eyes changed. A hint of coldness flashed through the corner of his eyes. Anger secretly arose. From the very beginning, Luo Yue was worried. In the past, there were only five demonic cavalry warriors. But today, there were eighteen. And their strength seemed to be much stronger than before. Such a powerful lineup definitely wasn't accidental. "Are they really going to exterminate us all?" Luo Yue secretly raged in his heart. Looking up at the high and mighty demonic cavalry warrior, he tried his best to restrain himself and said softly, "Twenty thousand crystal cores?" "That's right. Twenty thousand crystal cores." "If you can't gather them all, there's no need for your tribe to exist anymore." "Wuahaha..." The demonic cavalry warrior laughed heartily. Immediately after, the seventeen warriors behind him simultaneously let out extremely arrogant laughter. In his opinion, Luo Yue couldn't gather twenty thousand crystal cores no matter what. If there was one crystal core missing, he could immediately take his life and then massacre this tribe. It was time to eliminate the remaining forces of the Luo clan. "What if I gather twenty thousand crystal cores?" Luo Yue almost said through gritted teeth. His eyes stared into the bottomless iron armor. His heart was as firm as a rock. The demonic cavalry warrior sneered contemptuously. "If you can gather them all, of course we won't do anything to you. Your tribe will naturally be saved." "Good!" Luo Yue shouted loudly. Then he turned his head and looked at Luo Kuang who was extremely angry. "Bring up five thousand crystal cores." "Uh?" The demonic cavalry warrior was stunned. Looking at two tribal warriors carrying a full load of crystal cores not far away, his eyes suddenly darkened. The evil aura on his body was instantly released. Anger. He had thought that Luo Yue couldn't gather them all and was ready to rage. Little did he know that Luo Yue had already prepared. The sudden evil anger in his heart made the demonic cavalry warrior's body tremble. The demonic beast under him sensed the anger and immediately let out a hysterical roar. Flames burst out. "Messenger, this is the twenty thousand crystal cores you want..." As the crystal cores were carried into the square, Luo Yue said respectfully. Of course, he could feel the gloomy anger on the demonic cavalry warrior. However, Luo Yue wasn't afraid. Looking at the two piles of crystal cores, the demonic cavalry warrior waved his big hand. A space ring was summoned and suspended in mid-air. Then with a thought, twenty thousand crystal cores were all put in. Then he said coldly, "Not bad. Twenty thousand crystal cores. Luo Yue, you did very well. Considering your tribe's outstanding performance, this messenger decides that next month you need to pay fifty thousand crystal cores." "Fifty thousand crystal cores?" "I'll fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations." Luo Kuang immediately got angry. A powerful aura burst out and he shouted angrily. "Uh?" The demonic cavalry warrior's eyes changed. He glared at Luo Kuang. The extremely cold chill in his eyes suddenly struck out. Killing intent filled the air. He coldly shouted, "Courting death!" "Messenger, we will definitely complete it." Luo Yue immediately said. Looking at Luo Kuang from the corner of his eye, he signaled him not to get angry. "Haha, today I'm in a good mood. I'll spare your life." "Of course you can do it. However, if you can't." The demonic cavalry warrior sneered. "You know the consequences..." "I will do my best to complete the task given by Messenger." Luo Yue bowed and said. "Good. We will come again next month. Haha..." He put away his long spear. The demonic cavalry warrior clamped his legs. The demonic beast under him charged out forcefully. Immediately after, the seventeen demonic cavalry warriors charged out at the same time. Dust flew everywhere, making it hard to open one's eyes. "Big brother, are you crazy?" "That's fifty thousand crystal cores. Fifty thousand! How could you promise him?" Luo Kuang jumped onto the square and walked to Luo Yue's side and immediately questioned. At this time, many tribal warriors walked into the square. They looked at Luo Yue and didn't say a word. This time, if it weren't for Zhou Peng's help, they wouldn't be able to gather twenty thousand crystal cores. Let alone fifty thousand crystal cores. This was clearly making things difficult on purpose to find an excuse to exterminate them. "If we don't agree, this place will be razed to the ground immediately. Didn't you feel his killing intent?" Luo Yue's face sank. "If we agree, we still have a month to prepare." "Big brother, have you decided to fight?" Luo Kuang's eyes widened in surprise. Excitement showed on his face. Luo Yue looked around. He didn't see Zhou Peng in the crowd. Then he looked at Luo Kuang and said, "We'll discuss countermeasures together tonight." Zhou Peng disappeared. As early as when the demonic cavalry warrior put twenty thousand crystal cores into the space ring, he quietly left the tribe with Luo Feng. When he left, there was a sinister and greedy smile on his face.!.
