Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 501: Chapter 376: Donna’s Loyalty_1

Upon careful observation, this breeding ground appeared to be a long, fortified fortress built on a riverbed, made entirely of piled stones that were so closely packed together that almost no wind could pass through.

At first glance, it resembled a giant cage.

Furthermore, at this time, there were already quite a few raggedly dressed Redarrow City residents, huddling in small groups nearby, cautiously watching their surroundings.

These residents included men, women, young, and old, all with their distinct appearances.

However, they all had one obvious thing in common.

They all appeared malnourished and numb, with a pervasive sense of panic in their eyes, clearly having been enslaved for a long time.

Seeing this, Leo Ray shook his head slightly and withdrew his gaze.

After instructing the ten Earth Guardians to guard the entrance,

he led his subordinates, as well as Donna and the other mercenaries, directly into the breeding ground.

As soon as they entered the gate, an extremely strong, fishy odor immediately filled their nostrils.

The pungent smell caught Scarlett, Bianca White, and Donna off guard, causing them to start retching.

Leo Ray slightly furrowed his brow, adjusted his breathing, and continued to walk inside.

As they looked around, the ground was muddy and damp, and the light was exceptionally dim.

Next, after passing through a corridor and several heavy iron gates,

they saw large breeding pools separated by stone walls.

Each of these pools was about fifty to sixty square meters, densely packed together, totalling over a hundred pools, stretching as far as the eye could see.

At the edges of these pools were already corroded iron fences, some with traces of dried blood still visible.

At the same time, a surging, violent, and restless aura of Demon Beasts also rushed toward them.

“Sir, there’s an enormous number of Magic Pearl Monsters here. Please be cautious,” Taylor’s rough voice soon reached Leo Ray’s ear.

“Understood.” Leo Ray nodded slightly, and with a thought, Rolanddel appeared in his palm, slowly walking towards the edge of one of the breeding pools.

As he approached and looked down, Leo Ray noticed that the water level in the pool was about three meters deep, filled with murky water.

He saw large, pitch-black silhouettes hidden within, slowly wriggling.

Beyond expectation, a faint purple glow was scattered across the surrounding pool walls, adding a touch of eerie effect to the dark environment.

“Sir, the purple glow on the walls should be made from ground Demon Dragon Bones, which have the effect of deterring low-level Demon Beasts.

That’s why these Magic Pearl Monsters cannot break out of their breeding pools,” Scarlett explained with a pinched nose and an amusing expression on her face, clearly not adapting well to the environment.

“No wonder she’s most afraid of Tier 1 Hydro Slimes.”

Thinking of this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly, then nodded, acknowledging Scarlett’s words.

“Is this the Magic Pearl Monster breeding pool? I wonder how many innocent souls it has claimed?”

On the other side, a middle-aged Priest dressed in patchwork robes curiously peered into the pool before clasping his hands in prayer.

Just then, two pitch-black tentacles suddenly appeared and, amidst the splashing water,

swung violently towards the unguarded middle-aged Priest at lightning speed!

As everything happened in the blink of an eye,

the other mercenaries, including the not-so-distant Donna, immediately stepped forward, ready to provide support.

However, the tentacles were even faster, leaving the mercenaries no choice but to watch with fear as the events unfolded.

Just as the middle-aged Priest was about to be bound by the sudden tentacles and dragged into the water,

in the nick of time,

several dazzling flashes of light shone, and the two tentacles, along with a section of rusted iron fencing, were slashed into several pieces, all falling into the murky water.

The one who took action was none other than the calm and composed Leo Ray.

By now, he had reached the Tier 3 Eight-Star level, and both his reflexes and speed had long surpassed those of ordinary people.

Intercepting these Tier 1 Peak Level Magic Pearl Monsters was naturally effortless.

“Thank you, Sir, for saving my life!”

On the other side, the trembling middle-aged Priest, having distanced himself from the broken iron fence, promptly bowed to Leo Ray, lowering his head deeply.

“No need to be courteous.” Leo Ray waved his hand casually, his expression thoughtful.

Just a moment ago, when the Magic Pearl Monsters in the water extended their tentacles, he had already noticed.

Their shapes were a cross between mollusks and octopuses, with a blackish-gray, menacing appearance.

It was no wonder that the residents of Redarrow City would be in such a dazed state from struggling to survive in such an environment every day.

“Sir, many Redarrow City residents who came to feed the Magic Pearl Monsters have died at their hands.”

At this time, Donna stepped forward and bowed to Leo Ray, sighing, “This is just the safest situation. During the collection of Magic Beads, it’s even more perilous.”
