"My lord, there's another one! Much stronger than the black dog just now!"
The militia held round shields to block attacks from the white-furred demon dog while hacking and slashing with inferior weapons.
Compared to their previous dull appearance, their eyes now showed more liveliness—signs of gradually gaining self-awareness.
...

Level: 2
Quality: Excellent
Race: Mutated Beast
Constitution: 0.3
Strength: 0.4
Agility: 0.4

...
"Good!"
After checking the target's information, Su Qingxue clenched her small pink fists, her fair skin seeming to shine with a golden light, and she hammered with full force on the white-furred demon dog's head!
It must be said, after the Adamantine Body bloodline bonus.
Her Constitution had reached 1.3, Strength 1.0, Agility and Spirit both 0.9! (Note: Bloodline bonuses vary slightly depending on the individual creature's attribute growth.)
Both Constitution and Strength increased physical damage, and with just one punch, she stunned the white-furred dog so badly it couldn't even scream in pain.
Su Qingxue looked delicate, but when she struck, she was truly fierce!
Leaving no chance to survive!
"Hey! Take this slash!"
The militia paid no mind to its condition, swinging weapons in unison, helping Su Qingxue deal with the half-dead white-maned dog.
Within three seconds, the once fierce white demon beast retreated northwest in defeat, dying miserably on the damp grass.
"A mutated beast!"
"The new lord's landing zone is indeed full of unknown changes. The dean had scouted the outside in advance and found no trace of mutation energy here!"
Su Qingxue's expression was serious.
Dragon Star was originally a planet with 70% of its area covered by ocean.
Since the mysterious will descended on Dragon Star three thousand years ago, all humanity entered the Lord Era.
Every activation day opened every 30 years added vast sealed areas on Dragon Star in advance.
And Secret Realms rich in rare resources frequently appeared.
If a Secret Realm wasn't cleared within a limited time, it would merge into Dragon Star just like the sealed areas!
Secret Realm appearances were irregular, usually outside lord territory boundaries and hard to detect immediately.
Because of this, Dragon Star's land area had expanded many times over thousands of years!
These beasts, some initially existed in sealed areas, while others escaped from undiscovered Secret Realms.
Now it seemed there was likely a Secret Realm spawning near Sunset Forest, causing unknown creatures to appear, mutating these black-maned dogs!
"The seal is still intact. Except for the new lord, no one else can enter Sunset Forest to avoid attracting that mysterious creature's attention!"
Su Qingxue's thoughts raced.
Beast Quality was the same concept as potential, ranging from Normal (F), Excellent (E), Elite (D), Outstanding (C), Extraordinary (B), Heroic (A), Epic (S), Legendary (SS), to Holy Spirit (SSS)!
Above that, there was a legendary mysterious Level, surpassing even SSS potential!
For a normal-quality beast to mutate into excellent quality in such a short time, that mysterious creature must be very powerful!
At least, its quality definitely surpassed S-Tier!
"Everyone, work hard, dig a pit, and bury this white... white dog!"
Su Qingxue's face flushed red as she issued the order.
For her, being a lord for the first time was still nerve-wracking.
"Alright!"
The militia wiped sweat from their foreheads, about to dig with small shovels they carried, when Su Qingxue interrupted.
"No... burn it first! Reduce to ashes!"
She realized no clues could be left behind.
Until she fully matured, she must stay low-key.
Avoid trouble, and stay out of it if possible!
The militia pulled a smooth Energy Core from inside the white-maned dog's head and handed it to Su Qingxue.
They gathered dry firewood nearby and made a woodpile.
Judging by their proficiency, they seemed used to this work today.
"Almost done!"
After more than ten minutes of burning the white-maned dog and searching for other beasts, confirming no stragglers, Su Qingxue led the ten militia back to the territory quickly.
Besides collecting more than seventy Energy Cores, they also wove a simple net from vines, carrying seven or eight normal beasts as food supply for the next three days.
"This Adamantine Body bloodline isn't bad!"
Su Qingxue walked at the front of the team, holding up her fist and examining it carefully.
However...
When she remembered she could originally have stayed behind as a quiet beautiful mage, then recalled that annoying handsome face, her joyous expression immediately collapsed.
"Wuwu... my Super Magic Perception!"
"Damn Shen Xuan, why do I still have to help him gather Energy Cores to level up?!"
........
"Back?"
Shen Xuan, who had just closed his attribute panel, heard commotion outside the territory.
The hunting party was dragging several black demon dogs toward the territory.
"Looks like a good harvest; the lord seems very happy."
Shen Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground, averting his gaze from the hunting party.
At this time, the suspended sun was nearly gone. Unlike Blue Star's east-to-west movement, the "sun" in this world
gradually dimmed and disappeared in the same spot.
After half a day, the sunlit area of the territory had no change at all.
Though the reason was unknown, for Shen Xuan, this phenomenon perfectly matched his Light Conversion system function.
"Shen Xuan!"
Su Qingxue shouted from outside the territory, "Come help! Everyone's tired after hunting!"
"Ridiculous!"
Shen Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth.
They were right at the doorstep but still wanted him to help.
Wasn't this just sulking and deliberately ordering him around?
"My lord, keep it up! I still need to bask in the sun! Prepare fully for the trial!" Shen Xuan replied.
That was the truth!
The sun was about to disappear, meaning the fastest experience gain period was ending.
Wasting time moving things was really not worth it, my lord!
"I..."
Su Qingxue almost spat blood hearing this.
She'd never heard of a creature that leveled up by basking in the sun.
Light-aligned units on Dragon Star were rare, but not nonexistent!
They also needed Energy Core energy!
What the hell...
This wasn't recruiting an initial hero—it was inviting a lord home!
Basking in the sun was definitely a lousy excuse to slack off!
Su Qingxue's eyes filled with tears, and she could only personally take the sturdy vine net from the militia.
"Stinky Shen Xuan..."
"If you don't beg me later, I'll never give you Energy Cores to level up!"
Su Qingxue glared, whispering through clenched teeth.
