The shimmering Magic Crystals nearly dazzled Lin Chen.
The crystals in the box were high Tier!
At least Level 3 Magic Crystals.
These were likely collected by the Tauren Chieftain from monster kills.
Lin Chen counted carefully, his smile growing brighter.
Eleven Level 4 Magic Crystals!
Twenty Level 3 Magic Crystals!
With these alone, he could summon a large batch of Demonic Dragon Knights!
The Tauren Chieftain treasured these Magic Crystals but had now inadvertently enriched Lin Chen.
Lin Chen examined the crystals for a long time before reluctantly looking away.
"Perfect, perfect..."
Then Lin Chen opened the last Treasure Chest.
This one looked more ordinary than the first two.
No light shimmered from it.
Upon opening, Lin Chen saw its contents clearly.
A chainmail armor and a very delicate, tiny... staff.
Two pieces of info appeared before Lin Chen's eyes.
[Equipment: Chainmail Armor]
[Rank: 3]
[Description: Armor with decent defense, can fully block Level 3 physical attacks, negate one-third of Level 4 physical attacks, ineffective against magic and exposed parts.]
—
[Equipment: Cypress Staff]
[Rank: 2]
[Description: A staff made from fine cypress, accelerates mana flow, slightly increases casting speed and mana recovery!]
The last box contained equipment!
These items were useless to the Tauren Chieftain.
But he didn't want to discard them, so they were kept here.
Lin Chen immediately took out the chainmail and put it on!
Such defensive gear was valuable.
He was weak now and badly needed protection.
Looking down, the chainmail covered most of his chest.
Only his limbs and head were exposed, unprotected.
Still, Lin Chen was pleased.
With this, at least Level 1 physical attacks wouldn't hurt him!
Then Lin Chen picked up the staff, feeling regret.
It was a good item.
But he couldn't use it.
Only mages or similar could wield a staff; he was nothing now.
"Keep it for now, can sell or use later."
Looking at the three boxes, Lin Chen nearly smiled himself apart.
A great harvest!
A huge bounty!
...
In the dense forest, The figures moved swiftly.
A young man in a black hoodie was the core of the group.
His name was Su Can, also one of the City Lords who crossed over.
Su Can drew B-Tier Heart Crossbowmen as initial troops.
Heart Crossbowmen, like Wind Crossbowers, were ranged troops.
But Heart Crossbowmen were individually stronger.
Su Can's development went smoothly from the start.
He led his soldiers to sweep the wild.
This gained many Magic Crystals, speeding city growth.
But today, Su Can only brought two Level 3 Heart Crossbowmen with him.
His main task was exploring the wild map, not killing monsters.
"Stop!"
"Advance slowly, stay safe!"
Su Can suddenly stopped moving!
His eyes sharp as an eagle, staring forward.
Su Can's face was shocked at what he saw.
A field strewn with Tauren corpses!
Su Can had long known this Tauren Camp.
The Taurens were very strong; he marked it as forbidden territory and dared not approach.
But now, he saw Tauren corpses everywhere.
"Could it be..."
Su Can suddenly recalled the system notification.
Could it be Lin Chen?
Su Can's breathing quickened.
His city and Lin Chen's were surprisingly close.
Su Can was shaken inside.
The Myriad Clans Continent was vast; even billions of City Lords would not crowd.
Everyone was like droplets in the sea, unlikely to meet.
But Su Can never expected to be so close to Lin Chen!
Yet his face showed no joy.
This was not good news.
Su Can's expression darkened.
Lin Chen's strength was obvious to all.
He already had power to wipe out Tauren Camp, and that was just the start.
Though from the same place, they were outright competitors.
One could not sleep peacefully beside a rival!
Having such a powerful City Lord nearby choked Su Can.
Clearly,
as Lin Chen grew, his path had only two options—
submit or be destroyed!
Neither was Su Can's wish.
"While Lin Chen is still not too strong, should I try moving against him?"
Su Can's mind hatched a bold plan.
The Tauren corpses were still there, so Lin Chen had not gone far.
At least he hadn't collected the Tauren materials yet; probably nearby.
Su Can gritted his teeth.
He had to try!
He signaled a Heart Crossbowman to come close.
