My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

“There are many types of environments in the Resource Secret Realm, and this should be a traditional war fog environment.”

Lord Shepherd mused to himself.

Having prepared for battle for three days and three nights, gathering countless pieces of information, his efforts would not be wasted.

At this moment, within a range of about two hundred meters centered around him, the visibility was still clear. However, beyond this range, the white fog quickly became dense, and moving forward he could barely see his fingers in front of him, let alone recognize people.

In the Secret Realm, the lord acts as a torch to dispel the fog, which must go along with the Lord.

“Exploration failed.”

Dead Bone shook his head. He created some small spider-like skeletons that quickly climbed into the fog, but soon lost contact.

It also extended its finger bones inch by inch to form a long rope, which it tied around Bone Four.

But this attempt failed as well.

Once Bone Four entered the deep fog, he was almost completely lost. Couldn’t see anything, spatial distortion, sensory confusion, it was only by Dead Bone’s forceful dragging that he was able to return.

Otherwise, Mu Yuan would have had to ‘kick Bone Four out of the team’, forcing him to withdraw from the Secret Realm.

“It seems the weaknesses of the Secret Realm are not so easy to find.”

“It could also be that we’re still too weak. Perhaps true powerhouses could see through the fog at a glance… but that said, even high-ranking lords can’t enter this level of a Secret Realm.”

If taking shortcuts doesn’t work, then we should really follow the rules of the Secret Realm and explore and treasure hunt.”

Mu Yuan led the team, placing himself in the center of the formation, wearing a black armor that didn’t stand out among the ranks of soldiers.

He dispelled the fog, and led the team onwards.

Dead Bone and others waited with concentrated expressions, their sharp gaze sweeping across the surroundings one after the other.

It was very quiet.

The fog not only blocked their vision, but it also blocked sounds. Only when they approached something could they detect it.

“Gurgle-!”

At this moment, sharp-eyed… or rather, sharp-nosed Duo Lai noticed something different in the distance.

A few dozen steps ahead, they could faintly see the silhouette of trees in the distance.

He continued forward.

The barren land was appearing greener, carpeting the area in front of them, guarding a large tree around twenty or thirty meters tall at the center.

And on the tree, hung three droplet-wet, lush fruits.

A faint fragrance wafted out.

“This seems to be a Wind Rain Fruit’, a rare treasure that can enhance the power and affinity of wind elements.”

It hasn’t even been half an hour since they entered the Resource Secret Realm.

This is indeed a treasure land.

Loved it!

Dead Bone carefully scoped out the area around the Wind Rain Fruit tree and found no guarding monsters.

Duo Lai floated into the air, defying gravity, reached the tree top, and with the skill of a foodie, plucked the fruits one by one.

He took another look at this tree, and cast a glance back at the Lord.

He held his tongue.

Mu Yuan understood Duo Lai’s look – this treasure tree, can we just dig it up and take it back with us?

This is a really great idea.

However, brave men in the history of Xuan Country had tried this before. But as soon as they started to dig up the tree, they were rejected by the Secret Realm and ejected.

Even their several attempts to enter afterward met with the Secret Realm’s rejection, missing out on valuable opportunities.

The bloody lessons tell the future generations – don’t be greedy.

Mu Yuan reluctantly retracted his gaze.

Having taken the treasure, he continued to probe into the vast white fog. He couldn’t see anything around him except for some greenery around the tree. The rest of the land was somewhat barren, with only occasional sporadic and not massive or tall trees to be seen.

But it doesn’t matter.

The environment is secondary, the treasures are the real deal.

On a bare hill, light and shadow flickered.

Here,

Mu Yuan found a Rare Level Remnant Soul of a Wolf Cavalry.

The water surface was smooth like a mirror, a treasure bead was floating on it. Here, Mu Yuan got a Rare Level cultivation aid treasure, which can be used for a long time to slightly increase the individual’s soul sand absorption speed.

It can stack with the bonuses of soldiers and buildings.

A stunning tree that looked like a crystal carving emerged from the white fog, carrying numerous delicate crystals hanging from it.

“It smells like Soul Sand-!”

Duo Lai twitched her nose.

Looking up at this tree, more than ten meters high, Mu Yuan couldn’t help but marvel at the wonder of Resource Secret Realm, where even Soul Sand trees existed.

His horizons had been broadened.

This batch of Soul Sand was so scattered and in abundant quantity, Duo Lai couldn’t pick it all by herself. Dead Bone built a high platform from brittle bones for them to stand on. It took almost seven to eight minutes to pick all the Soul Sand fruits from the tree.

Finally combined them all…

A total of 22.5 Soul Crystals.

It was too easy to profit from this Soul Sand!

Soon, most of the day had passed. It seemed like there was no concept of day and night within the Resource Secret Realm, only a thick fog that never lifted.

During this period, Lord Shepherd found one treasure spot after another.

“Received: Soul Crystal X33”

“Received: Rare Remnant Soul x2”

“Received: First Order Breakthrough Material (Nature x2, Element x2, Human Race X2)”

“Received: Various rare materials x6”

“Received: Normal Remnant Soul (Crypt Assassin xio, Archer x20, Snake man X20)”

But the entire process was not as simple as just picking up treasures.

Occasionally, they would stumble upon treasure spots guarded by monsters. If the guarding monsters were only at the professional level, they would line up shoulder to shoulder, each providing support by engulfing the monsters.

However, in one place, the guarding monster was almost as powerful as an Earth Rock Dragon, so Mu Yuan tactically retreated without engaging in a fight.

Because it wasn’t worth it.

To defeat this guardian monster would take both time and effort, not to mention the risk involved. The reward was only a rare treasure, not worth the trouble when there were other spots to explore.

Speed was the key to treasure hunting.

Many treasure spots were already empty when Lord Shepherd arrived, obviously due to their delayed arrival. As time went on, the number of empty spots would increase, and the rewards would inevitably be far less than they were at the beginning.

Although the Resource Secret Realm offered seven days, this place might be cleaned out within three days.

The effort of the player lords should not be underestimated.

A tens of meters tall treasure tree stood in the dense fog, barely visible.

It looked extraordinary.

This was another crystal-like treasure tree, but it was not Soul Sand or Soul

Crystals hanging on it, but several hexagonal cylindrical crystals.

“This is…”

“God Shine Crystal Edge?”

A very special kind of treasure.

To a veteran lord or a Great Lord, the God Shine Crystal Edge might not be necessary. But for a top-level lord, it was worth some Rare Remnant Souls.

It was a kind of cultivation treasure. The most special part about it was…

“God Shine Crystal Edge: Directly absorb to let troops gain a huge amount of experience. The effect will decay when more than 5 are consumed.”

And on the tree, densely hung may be tens of God Shine Crystal Edges.

Mu Yuan held his breath.

Before he could get closer, he abruptly saw two armies rushing over from a distance. Like him, they also stopped outside the treasure tree, their figures slightly visible through the fog.

They stayed still at this point.

Clearly, they were also surprised.

There are other lords? More than one! Damn bad luck!”

“What do you think? I don’t agree with dividing it up evenly. Well, let’s not

waste any more time. As everyone is in a hurry, let’s use the Battle Will format.”

“Winner takesail!”

According to the rules, if the parties who find the treasures can negotiate, they can divide the treasures among themselves. If the negotiation fails, they fight a battle, determine the winner, and decide the ownership.

All three parties stopped far outside the treasure tree to avoid accidental conflict.

Mu Yuan could only see the shadowy figures through the thick fog and hear the wavering voice from the right.

It was a young lord.

He could only make this judgment.

To the left, a girl in a pale moon-colored robe bit her lip. Being a newly promoted lord, she was unlikely to win unless she happened to face another new lord. But she had no other choice.

Either leave directly or use the Battle Will format to strive for a slim chance. If she lost, it was just a defeat.

“Okay!”

She shouted, her voice echoing softly.

Mu Yuan also yelled out loud, “Okay.”

Then he led several of his generals forward..
