Ren Qi was very excited.

After all, this was great news for him.

Ever since he obtained the mutated succubus territory, Ren Qi had been working hard to recruit fallen angels.

Now, he finally saw a glimmer of hope.

Although the probability of directly recruiting them was extremely low, and Ren Qi did not think that he could recruit fallen angels from the Tier-7 recruitment pool, it was still a positive signal.

What if he raised the recruitment pool to Tier 8?

The probability of recruiting a fallen angel would increase, right?

After all, after the recruitment pool reached Tier 9, he would be able to directly recruit a fallen angel.

However, Ren Qi also knew in his heart that it would not be so easy to raise the recruitment pool to Tier 9.

Although the condition of raising the recruitment pool from Tier 7 to Tier 8 was still within the acceptable range, when the time came to raise it from Tier 8 to Tier 9, it would probably not be such a small amount of resources.

However, that would be in the future. Ren Qi directly poured enough energy crystals into the recruitment pool and began the recruitment.

This recruitment made up for the past two days.

A total of 60 pitch-black balls of light floated out and quickly arrived in front of Ren Qi.

The pitch-black balls of light shattered, revealing 60 mutated succubi!

There were a total of 60 mutated succubi, and 15 of them were Tier-9 mutated succubi. Of the remaining 45 mutated succubi, only five were Tier 6, and the remaining 40 were all Tier-8 mutated succubi.

After the recruitment pool rose to Tier 7, the probability of recruiting high-level mutated succubi increased greatly.

Ren Qi was still very satisfied with this recruitment.

The most satisfying thing about this recruitment pool’s upgrade was that the number of mutated succubi he recruited had doubled.

After all, he had the Elemental Holy Stone. As long as he had a large amount of soul power, he could quickly raise the level and tier of the succubi.

Therefore, the increase in the number of succubi he recruited was definitely a huge increase for Ren Qi.

After naming the newly-recruited mutated succubi one by one, Ren Qi got Elise, who had almost recovered, to lead them to eat demonic meat and then hunt for more.

The succubi, who had not used the Elemental Holy Stone to increase their strength, stayed behind and began to use the Elemental Holy Stone to increase their strength.

The battle yesterday had allowed Ren Qi to obtain a large amount of soul power.

At this moment, Ren Qi’s gaze once again landed on the chat group.

[ F*ck! What’s going on? A group of pitch-black flame lions suddenly appeared around my territory. They actually had Tier-8 battle strength and were extremely ferocious. They directly attacked my territory. However, their expressions were a little abnormal, and they looked like they were on the verge of collapse.]

[I also encountered the same situation. My territory isn’t far from yours. These pitch-black flame lions seem to have charged out from a place covered in black fog. You have to be careful to hold them off. Don’t let them pass you and attack my territory.]

[Ever since the last demon wave, there doesn’t seem to be any demon beasts taking the initiative to attack my territory. Could it be that these fire lions are the surrounding monster forces?]

After the last black fog mutation, a large number of new terrains and monster forces had appeared. However, the previous demon wave-like monster attacks did not appear again.

Therefore, the first reaction of most people was that the monster forces around the new lords’ territories had launched an attack on their territories.

[ F*ck! These pitch-black flame lions are definitely not from a monster force. There is only one monster force around my territory. It is not a flame lion, let alone this pitch-black flame lion. ]

[ I can vouch for the person upstairs. There is indeed only one monster faction here, and it is a Tier-6 hydra. Moreover, I have never seen such a monster faction hidden in the black fog. ]

[ Yeah, it seems that there is indeed no such monster faction hidden in the black fog. What is this situation? ]

[ Could it be that the last black fog tremor caused some new situation here? ]

[ Speaking of which, it’s quite strange. Why would it be shaking when everything was perfectly fine before? At that time, I thought that the entire space was shaking. ]

Ren Qi looked at the messages in the chat group and frowned slightly.

From the information shared by the new lords in the chat group, it seemed that the pitch-black flame lion had also come out from the sealing gate.

Just as Long Yi had said, they had moved the crystal gate, causing the black fog to shake and loosening the sealing gate.

Although Ren Qi didn’t know how many sealing gates there were in the black fog, just as Long Yi had said, these kinds of tarnished had started to appear through these sealing gates.

However, Ren Qi was more concerned about another matter.

The tarnished that had come out of the sealing gate this time seemed to be similar to the black monsters that had attacked Xu Xinghe’s territory.

However, compared to the tarnished that had attacked his succubus territory, the black monster that had attacked Xu Xinghe’s territory was even more corrupted. It could not even use its soul power.

It was unknown how long the sealing gates would remain open and what kind of tarnished would appear.

However, Ren Qi would not directly face the attack of the tarnished.

The sealing gate was in the mountains shrouded in black fog behind him. The previous attack of the tarnished from the sealing gate had already been stopped by Zhao Yuheng and Long Yi.

At this time, several messages appeared in the private chat group of the Cloud.

Ren Qi opened it and saw that it was from Bel Hermione.

[ Everyone, there are also black monsters similar to the ones mentioned in the chat group around my territory. I have never seen such monsters, but they have the strength of Tier 8. Moreover, they seem to have lost their rationality. They only know how to attack all the creatures around them. ]

[ There are a lot of them. They appeared from the black fog, like an endless horde. ]

[ Fortunately, there are a few new lord territories around me. Their strength is not bad. They have scattered the attacks of these black monsters. Everyone should be careful. ]

Looking at Bel Hermione’s words, the people in the Cloud also expressed their concern.

Zhao Yuheng said, “Be careful. If there’s any danger, just inform us. I can rush over to help immediately.”

Tian Jizi said, “These days, why are there always different kinds of strange situations in the black fog?”

Xuan Ming said, “These black creatures should be brought about by the tremors of the black fog that we triggered this time. We still don’t know where these black creatures came from.”

Luo Ming: “I think there are also these black monsters on my side, but they are only Tier 7. The threat is not very big. I hid underground. They are now attacking the other territories around.”

Li Tianlan: “There are no such black monsters on my side, but there is a new black fog terrain not far from my territory. There might be black monsters coming out from it.”

Looking at the messages in the Cloud’s chat group, Ren Qi was silent for a moment.

Then, he decided to share what he knew. After all, the Cloud group had already gotten used to each other. They all knew what kind of people they were.

In general, the people in the Cloud group could be trusted.

Ren Qi: “I know some information about these black monsters. Zhao Yuheng also knows about them. They are the tarnished of another plane.”

Xuan Ming: “Tarnished? What the hell?”

Tian Jizi: “Boss Zhao knows about them too? Why didn’t you tell us?”

Bel Hermione: “What are tarnished?”

Li Linan: “Things that have been contaminated.”

Li Tianlan: “Another plane? What does that mean?”

Zhao Yuheng: “I don’t know as much as Ren Qi about the tarnished and the other plane. Let Ren Qi tell us the details.”

Although Zhao Yuheng had been there when Long Yi had told Ren Qi about the tarnished, she naturally did not know about the other plane.

Ren Qi did not hesitate and immediately shared the information that he had received previously.

Seeing Ren Qi’s words in the chat group, the people in the Cloud were shocked.

They had many guesses about the appearance of the black fog. After all, it was closely related to them.

However, they had never expected that the black fog was connected to another plane!

In other words, the hundred-year-old black fog and the black fog that appeared now were related to another plane?

This amount of information was too much, causing Li Tianlan and the others to fall silent. It was obvious that they were digesting this information.

Li Tianlan: “In other words, these black monsters that appeared from the black fog are all tarnished, monsters from another plane. Because of the contamination after the divine war, they have become like this?”

Ren Qi: “In general, this is indeed the case.”

Zhao Yuheng: “Ren Qi has already told everyone what he knows. These tarnished might be of a higher realm than we previously thought. Moreover, they are not afraid of death. They are very difficult to deal with.”

“If there are high-leveled tarnished around you, you can ask for help in the group.”

“We don’t know where the sealing gate is and how long it will be open for. Everyone, you should be careful.”

Xuan Ming: “It’s too shocking. The black fog from a hundred years ago and the black fog that appeared now are actually related to such a secret matter.”

“Another plane? What kind of existence is that?”

Ren Qi: “Right, you should raise your strength and increase the combat strength of your complete Tier-9 troops. When the time comes, you can go to the forbidden land.”

“Although we don’t know what will be in the forbidden land and what we will encounter when we enter, I predict that this will be a great opportunity.”

The people in the Cloud chatted for a while and exchanged information with each other before closing the group chat.

Apart from Zhao Yuheng and Ren Qi, the rest of the members in the group were extremely shocked.

After all, news about stuff like another plane was still very magical.

Xuan Ming was even more shocked.

That was because they had always been the ones sharing information in the Cloud.

The aristocratic families’ research on the black fog gave them more knowledge than Ren Qi and the others.

But now, the true secret of the black fog and the matter of the other plane came from Ren Qi’s mouth.

They hadn’t paid much attention to this guy at the beginning. They had even thought that he would be an average recruit, but he had gradually grown into a powerful person in the Cloud organization.

In Xuan Ming’s eyes, all of this was somewhat inconceivable.

The main reason was that he was too fast!

It had only been a short period of time, but Ren Qi’s strength had already increased by so much.

Moreover, before this, they had not discovered any Holy Stones. This guy’s awakened units seemed to be able to evolve.

Because of that, the distance between him and them was rapidly closing.

Even though there were Holy Stones behind them, the speed at which the gap between them narrowed did not slow down. Ren Qi’s strength had already surpassed his and Tian Jizi’s.

It was likely that only Zhao Yuheng could suppress Ren Qi now.

However, how long could this suppression last?

Under such circumstances, a ridiculous thought even arose in Xuan Ming’s heart.

Zhao Yuheng, the prophet, who had inherited the ninth-tier army, the undying blood phoenix, was only so-so in front of Ren Qi.

Xuan Ming patted his head and began to gather his troops.

No matter what else, the most important thing now was to improve his strength.

The forbidden land was most likely extremely important. Zhao Yuheng had also privately chatted with Tian Jizi just now. She valued this forbidden land very much.

Due to the previous commotion, the location of the secret treasure troves had changed. Currently, they did not know the exact coordinates of the secret treasure troves.

Under such circumstances, the forbidden land was naturally the first choice for them to increase their strength and quickly obtain resources.

After obtaining the Mechanical Holy Stone, the combat strength of a complete Tier 9 soldier would be able to quickly increase Xuan Ming’s overall combat strength.

Among the members of Cloud, the one who could quickly increase the combat strength of their troops was Li Tianlan.

The last time, Li Tianlan had directly obtained three Thunder Holy Stones and merged them into the Thunder Holy Stone from before. She had directly purified the Thunder Holy Stone to a purity of 70% .

The current Thunder Holy Stone was able to convert 70% of the infused soul power.

Regardless of whether it was leveling up or upgrading, it would be extremely fast.

After Li Tianlan received the news about the forbidden land, she had focused all her strength on leveling up the five elemental thunder qilin that had reached the highest level.

After all, her territory had given birth to quite a number of Tier-9 complete thunder qilins in the past seven days.

Ren Qi was not idle either. He continued to hunt.

Now, the hunt was no longer for demonic meat. It was mainly for soul power.

While everyone in the Cloud was rapidly raising their strength, an explosive piece of news appeared in the chat group.

Someone had found a secret treasure trove!
