Chapter 532: Chapter 340: Transit Region and Promotion Trial (4K)_2
Long-range reconnaissance now relies primarily on Lord Shepherd's "Black Crows," with the occasional use of Isloa's Destiny Star Weaving, as well as Wood Spirits, Hua Ling, and other Nature Spirits.
At the Excellence Three-star stage, Nature Spirits awaken the talent to communicate with flora. They can harness the power of the forest to gather various types of information within a certain range.
But the actionable intelligence that can be gathered is quite limited.
"It's a pity that Sophia is not here; otherwise, this girl would probably have a knack for intelligence gathering. Baptizing and evolving her to Epic Two Stars and Epic Three Stars could likely awaken abilities conducive to reconnaissance."
However, with her absence, there was nothing to be regretted.
Mu Yuan could only repeatedly engage in probing and pitched battles with the Fang of the Jackal Wolf across wilderness, dense forests, and lakes among other places.
"The Fang of the Jackal Wolf is trying to put pressure on us; they clearly understand that we dare not gamble. We must prepare for the possibility of a Legendary ambush."
This tied up a great deal of the officers' and elites' time for cultivation as well as time for exploring and seeking treasures.
However, this was normal for the world of Lords.
Lords who possess vast power are burdened with greater defensive responsibilities. Just like during the Red Fog Disaster Moon, the inland Lords are obligated to lead their troops to support the frontline fortresses.
Mu Yuan opened a map woven with Techniques. NovelFire-reader
On it, several elite forces representing the Tianyuan Territory were roaming various wilderness areas. Further away, tokens represented allied Elf and Giant forces.
Not long ago, Dead Bone sought to use itself as bait to lure the Werewolf Legend of the Monster Tribe.
Regrettably, it seems the Werewolf Legend has resisted the bait.
Until now, both sides have only skirmished tentatively, but it seems another storm is about to break.

At this moment,
The headquarters of the Fang of the Jackal Wolf.
The red fog drifted here, and the heavens and earth seemed to be showered with a fine drizzle of blood.
The Wolf King, draped in a large cloak, bathed in the blood rain, feeling content in heart and mind.
"We have sent messengers to the Tianqi Mountain Range over ten days ago; can we really expect reinforcements to arrive?"
A Werewolf Legend expressed doubt.
After all, they were Legends, no longer lowly cannon fodder, naturally preferring to stay alive. Otherwise, why bother calling for help? They could just launch an offensive and tear their enemies apart.
They were merely afraid of taking losses, especially afraid that the Legendary creature to be lost might be themselves.
Although the Fang of the Jackal Wolf is one of the factions within the Dirty Country 'Eternal Abnormality,' it was not certain whether the other Children of the Dirty, who believe in the flesh's immortality, would assist them.
"They will come."
The Wolf King spoke with certainty.
He looked down at the foothills where their Fang of the Jackal Wolf pasture lay. Faintly visible were numerous bedraggled humans, Elves, and other sentient beings, shackled and stumbling across the undulating, fleshy fields.
Some of the female creatures were also visibly pregnant.
This was their pasture, enabling a continuous proliferation of beings and a steady harvest of their blood.
In the 'Broken Mountain Land,' they possessed the largest pasture of beings within the Fang of the Jackal Wolf, and it was also due to this that they maintained a close relationship with the main vein of Tianqi Eternal Life.
"Of course, most importantly, this land we occupy is connected to multiple large domains."
The Wolf King's gaze stretched off into the distance, as if he could see the edge of the Broken Mountain Land, the area where violent energies perpetually raged.
"Through the violent lands, we can reach the Twilight Plains, the Azure Sea, and other rich domains abundant with living resources."
"And our Broken Mountain Land is just such a crucial transit point."
"The old creatures of the Tianqi Mountain Range would never allow such an important transit point to fall into other powers' hands. What our Fang of the Jackal Wolf needs to worry about is not the beings, but the blood Snake Encase and others. We must be the sole spokesperson."
...
"The enemies deep within the wasteland can generally be categorized into two groups—the 'Fallen God Force' and the 'Monster Kingdom.'
In the Courtyard Secret Realm, Mu Yuan flipped through the information and intelligence he had someone purchase for him.
"The Attendant Ascendants we encountered earlier, the Monster Tribes with Totem Pillars, they all fall under the Fallen God Force. Amongst them, the largest Fallen God faction, known as the 'Senluo Divine Court,' includes well-known Fallen Gods such as the 'Snake God,' the 'Black Crow,' and the 'Sparrow God.'
However, not all Monster Tribes worshipping Totem Pillars are affiliated with the Fallen God. Even flesh has its Totem Pillars.
"Within the Monster Kingdom, there are also several colossi whose influence spreads across the realms of the Eternal World."
"One is called 'Shadow Whiskers,' seemingly dominated by dungeons and dark monsters, fond of venerating unspeakable Totem Pillars."
"Another is called 'Birth Nest,' apparently a Monster power with strong proliferative abilities, capable of creating Nests of Filth. Hiss!"
"The third is called 'Tianqi Eternal Life,' which advocates for the immortality of flesh and is proficient in creating Aggregated monsters... The Fang of the Jackal Wolf and Blood Snake Encase that I encountered are most likely part of the Overlord Power belonging to Tianqi Eternal Life."
Of course, while they may be said to be under control, Monster Overlords typically have no unified allegiance.
These three Monster Kingdoms can be seen as three different paths of development taken by Monster Overlords.
Some worship tentacles; some worship flesh; some believe in the birth and proliferation.
Mu Yuan sought out this intelligence to guard against the enemy's tactics.
The Elves and Giants' understanding of the Fang of the Jackal Wolf is limited to the surface; their information might not be as detailed as these intel reports. Even if the information comes from other Monster Overlords, there are commonalities that can be referenced.
