Chapter 248: Without Stopping
“Spiritual energy?” Mcgee did not understand what he was talking about.
“Remember some of the familiars wandering around our home? They’re very weak, around level 7 or 8.”
Kidd said, “After the fourth season, they absorbed the spiritual energy gus.h.i.+ng out of the ground, and their strength actually increased significantly.”
“Subdued beasts that were originally only level 7 or 8 can actually reach a terrifying level of level 16 after absorbing the spiritual energy!”
What did this mean?
Even when the Alliance faced the Blood Moon attack, they had never seen so many powerful subdued beasts.
The terrifying thing was that not only had their levels increased, their grades had also increased.
Kidd noticed all of this because the Alliance had been attacked after Mcgee left.
“When you left your home to search for the snow Mystic Realm, a group of flying beasts attacked our Alliance.
“Fortunately, the Spirit Dragon didn’t sleep and used its tornado to chase away the flying beasts.”
They had used up all their strength in the battle last night.
“If it wasn’t the Spirit Dragon, your home would have been destroyed by the time you came back.”
The only difference between season four and the previous season was that the number of flying beasts had increased.
“Take a look if you don’t believe me.” Mcgee raised his head and saw all kinds of Bird and Dragon beasts hovering in the sky.
He had thought that there were not any Dragon-type familiars in the world, but now it seemed that there were actually flying Dragons everywhere.
However, they had no way of attacking their home.
Most of them were harmless. Occasionally, some blind familiars would try to take away the familiars they had raised in their homes, but they would be blocked by the protective barrier.
However, they would try to do it once in a while. Their attacks just now had not been effective, so they would stop for a while.
“But I think that if we don’t think of a way quickly, we won’t be able to hold on for long,” said Kidd. “Their attacks are more frequent than the Blood Moon attacks, and their damage is high.”
“It doesn’t matter,” said Mcgee. “Don’t we still have the Gale Birds and Spirit Dragons?”
Every time Mcgee went out on an expedition, he would leave behind a few powerful familiars to guard his home.
The Gale Bird and the Spirit Dragon were the nemesis of the flying beasts in the sky. As long as they were in their homes, the chances of the Alliance being breached were not high.
This was a way to treat the symptoms but not the root of the problem.
The key was to increase the strength of the members of the Alliance. After all, once the level of the familiars in the wild reached level 17, it would be very difficult for them to advance further.
As long as they could surpa.s.s level 17 familiars, everything would not be a problem.
Mcgee thought of something. “How did they absorb spiritual energy to increase their levels and ranks?”
He wanted to know if that kind of spiritual energy would have any effect on the other familiars in their homes?
Kidd replied, “I’m studying it.”
Mcgee nodded and said to Kidd, “Come with me. I have something to tell you.”
Kidd followed behind Mcgee. As Mcgee walked, he told him, “I’ll arrange a few things for you to carry out.”
“The first thing is to arrange the familiars from the ice and snow Mystic Realm. Arrange a place for them to rest, preferably in a remote corner.”
Then, Mcgee took out the blueprints for the [Cold Zone] and said to him, “To build this building, we need wood and stones. I hope everyone in the Alliance can take out their own resources and share them.”
Mcgee then took out the blueprints and handed them all to Kidd.
[Water-type beast training ground]
[Through training, the skill level of a water-type subdued beast can be raised. There is a certain probability of raising the grade of the water-type subdued beast.]
For the water-type Beast Masters in the Alliance, it was a priceless treasure.
“Another thing. How’s the collection of the fragments of the portal coming along?”
Mcgee had left the Alliance for three days. During this time, if the members in his home did not slack off, they should have completed about 20 adventurer missions.
At the very least, there would be someone who would obtain the fragments.
He was worried that someone would hide the fragment, so he kept a close watch on it.
“We didn’t get the fragment, but we have established cooperative relations.h.i.+ps with many familiar tribes,” Kidd reported, “The affinity between the Rippling Bird Tribe and us has already reached three stars. If we want the Rippling Bird, we can go directly to their tribe to recruit them.”
“Recruit? What are the conditions?”
“Food, materials.”
“As long as we can provide enough meat, the elites among them are willing to join us.”
“That’s great!” Mcgee was thinking about how to improve the Alliance’s air defense ability.
“Immediately find some people to form the Rippling Bird Army. They don’t have to be particularly strong. If the same familiar uses the same skill to attack at the same time, it can increase their damage value.”
“I’ll do it now.”
Kidd left the office.
Mcgee was very relieved that Kidd was handling the management of the Alliance.
Then, he opened his personal email. He had seen many exclamation marks before. He did not have time to see what was going on.
He was free now.
He opened it and saw that it was all messages from Qi Wei asking for help.
“I’m at the crater of the Smoker Forest.”
“I thought this was just an ordinary mining site.”
“In fact, it’s another world inside the crater.”
“You… Ah!”
The last message was very strange. Qi Wei seemed to be in danger.
Mcgee ran to the location of Qi Wei’s home. The home was still standing there, which meant that she was not dead yet.
Mcgee wanted to continue exploring the Smoker Forest crater, but he was in a hurry to solve the problem of the Blood Moon attack, so he put it on hold.
Qi Wei and Mcgee did not have a deep relations.h.i.+p, but she was a good resource hunter and needed Qi Wei’s help.
“I’m so busy. I just came back, and I have to set off again.”
The Snow Spirit Fox said, “I need time to absorb the spiritual power of the ice spirit wood, so I can’t accompany you for the time being.”
Mcgee thought that it would be inconvenient to bring the Snow Spirit Fox with the ice element to explore the volcano.
It was better to bring the three-tailed Little Spirit Fox who was proficient in the fire element.
Moreover, the Crocodile Tyrant had experience in the Smoker Forest, so he might be able to use it.
“I need time to complete my plan. You have to come back alive. When you come back, I will definitely be completely different,” the Snow Spirit Fox said to Mcgee.
It also knew that Mcgee’s trip this time was very dangerous.
The three-tailed Little Spirit Fox was very happy when it heard that Mcgee was going to take it on an adventure. It even made a face at the Snow Spirit Fox proudly.
It meant that she finally knew who the most important person in her master’s heart was, right?
“The remaining familiars are responsible for protecting their home. I hope that when I return, I won’t see my home turned into a ruin,” Mcgee said jokingly.
“Those little birds want to destroy their home? Did you ask for my permission?” Spirit Dragon said disdainfully.
Since the smoke in the Smoker Forest had disappeared, they could approach the island through the air.
In order to buy time, Mcgee asked the Gale Bird to send them to their destination.
“You have to hold on.”
It had been three days since he received a message from her. Although she was not dead, her current situation was not optimistic.
