Chapter 281 Recruitment
Chapter 281 Recruitment
Ying Baiyu didn't buy the strange bird's words at all. He spread his wings, soared into the air, and the eagle feathers on his jet-black wings were pointed at the other party like sharp blades.
"Get out of here right now, or else—stay!"
The strange bird was not nervous. "Hahahaha, I thought the king was an amazing hero, but I didn't expect him to be so short-sighted and not be able to grasp the opportunity. What about you? Don't you know what's good for you? Don't you want this powerful force?"
Xiao Jie looked around and saw that the sky around him had been filled with various bird monsters, surrounding the deer-headed evil bat.
At this time, they heard the words of the strange bird and made a noisy shouting sound.
"Power? What power?"
"What's the benefit? Take it out and see."
The strange bird laughed and said, “Have you ever heard of the legend of the Monster Star Tower? In the deep pit where the monster blood flows, there grows a strange fruit from outer space. If you eat it, you can awaken your bloodline and gain supreme monster power.
You can all get this kind of treasure now. As long as you submit to my Demon Star Tower, you will have a bright future. Do you want to see it? Haha, then you can watch it. "
As it spoke, the strange bird suddenly threw out a red fruit. Xiao Jie looked carefully and found that it was the strange meatball that Li Jinlin had eaten before.
All the bird monsters rushed forward and swooped down from mid-air to grab the object. After it changed hands several times, it was finally snatched away by a level 19 crow monster, which swallowed it up without saying a word.
The next second, the crow suddenly let out a hysterical scream, and its body struggled desperately in mid-air, twitching, and squirming.
Its body swelled up like a balloon, its eyes turned blood red, and its beak became as huge and ferocious as a guillotine. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a giant crow that was four or five meters tall.
It's just that because they don't grow in proportion, the pair of wings become disproportionate and look quite funny.
Moreover, due to its large size, the feathers on its body became sparse all of a sudden, and it was obviously unable to fly. It flapped its wings desperately and fell downwards.
"Cack! Cack!" The crow uttered a strange cry in a hurry, and suddenly a gust of cold wind blew up from the flat ground, dragging it up again.
Because Xiao Jie was wearing the Shura Ghost Mask, he could see ghosts. This time he looked carefully and saw several ghost servants surrounding the crow, lifting it up. Then he looked at the name of the crow spirit.
Aberrant Raven: Level 22 Elite. HP: 950.
Xiao Jie was surprised. Oh my god, this is the awakening of his innate magic.
Moreover, the template directly changed from a small monster to an elite monster. Except for becoming uglier, its strength was greatly improved.
The strange bird laughed strangely, "See? As long as you submit to my Monster Star Tower, you will have the chance to obtain such a magical treasure. You useless monsters, if nothing unexpected happens, will only be small monsters for the rest of your lives, and you may be wiped out one day.
But if you have the enhancement of this Scarlet Blood Demon Fruit, then you will naturally have a bright future."
At this time, the bird monsters didn't care about the ugly appearance of the crow after its transformation. They surrounded the crow monster and marveled at it, full of envy.
"My king, what are you waiting for? You can't miss such a good thing."
"That's right, my king. The state government wants to offer a reward for us, so why not follow the Monster Star Tower?"
"Yes, my king, such a good opportunity is rare."
Ying Baiyu was instigated by this group of men and couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.
Naturally, he was unwilling to surrender. As a former captain of the Tianyu Army, he had fought with these monsters countless times and was very familiar with their distortion and evil. Many of the horrible things they did were so outrageous that he could never forget them once he saw them.
Not to mention that the education he received since childhood also made him look down on these inhumane incestuous monsters.
Becoming a demon can be said to be out of helplessness, but it can also be considered a return to one's origin.
After all, there are still many monsters of various kinds in the entire Canglin Province, which are almost equivalent to savages.
But if he took refuge in the Demon Star Tower, it would be like turning from a human into a ghost, which he could not accept at all.
But at this moment, these men were obviously tempted. If he refused, he might not be able to control the situation for a while.
Therefore, he was hesitant for a moment. He wanted to refuse, but he didn't know if he could control this group of subordinates who were already not very obedient.
Xiao Jie, who was standing aside, saw everything clearly.
"My king, if you can't make up your mind, why don't you agree to it first, and then we brothers will discuss it carefully before making a decision. This matter is of great importance, so we naturally need to discuss it carefully. The brothers should also think so."
Ying Baiyu was not stupid. He knew this was a stepping stone. "Humph, that makes sense. This matter is of great importance. I must think carefully before making a decision. You reply to your master first, and I will reply to him when I have made up my mind."
The strange bird was not satisfied. "How long will it take you to come to a conclusion, King Ying?"
"One day is enough."
"Hehe, that's great. Let's make a deal. I'll come back to look for you in a day. Don't miss this rare opportunity."
The strange bird with a deer head let out a weird laugh and flew away flapping its wings.
The other bird demons were all unhappy and landed on the eagle's nest one after another. "My king, why are you still hesitant when there is such a good thing?"
"That's right, for such a wonderful thing that can gain power, why bother to study? It's much better to follow the Demon Star Tower than to waste time in this forest."
"If you are worried, my king, why not let me bring my brothers to see you tomorrow?" The crow spirit was obviously a little arrogant. It directly advanced from a small monster to an elite monster, and also awakened its innate magic. It was not as polite as before.
Ying Baiyu snorted coldly: "I have my own concerns about this matter. I will consider it carefully before making a decision. You can go down first."
"Your Majesty..." A bird demon wanted to persuade him again.
Ying Baiyu suddenly grabbed the bird demon's neck and said, "Why, are my words no longer effective?"
The bird demon was frightened and said hurriedly: "Of course not, we will go down now."
"Humph, get out!"
The bird demon hurriedly jumped out of the eagle's nest and flew away, and the other bird demons also left one after another.
Watching the bird monsters fly away one after another, Ying Baiyu's face became gloomy.
It's not easy to be a king.
He looked at Fat Gugu beside him again, his expression slightly unhappy, "Thank you for what you did just now."
Xiao Jie smiled and said, "Haha, Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite, but Your Majesty should make plans early. In the end, whether to be a human or a monster, or simply surrender to the Monster Star Tower and become a mixed-blood bastard, you must make a choice."
"Don't ever mention surrendering to the Demon Star Tower again! Even if I die, I would rather die than hang out with those monsters." Xiao Jie thought to himself that this guy seemed to be very principled, so that would be easy to deal with.
"If you don't surrender to the Monster Star Tower, it will be difficult to be a monster. If you are unwilling to accept this, why don't you abandon the dark and join the light?"
Ying Baiyu sighed, "I'm already on the wanted list, so there's no way out."
Xiao Jie thought to himself that it had worked, and this time there was a high chance that he could be successfully recruited.
"Hehe, it's good that Your Majesty has this intention. If - I mean if, if I can let Your Majesty return to the Tianyu Army and let Master Xiaoyue forgive his past mistakes and reinstate him, would Your Majesty be willing?"
Ying Baiyu looked at Xiao Jie fiercely, "You are a monster! Who are you?"
"Returning home!" Xiao Jie said, and suddenly canceled the transformation, instantly changing back to human appearance, and at the same time directly used the amnesty letter to Ying Baiyu.
"Ying Baiyu, I am here on the orders of Master Xiaoyue to recruit you. Master Xiaoyue thinks that you have suffered misfortune and that it happened for a reason. Although murder is a crime, that tyrant also deserves death, so he grants you amnesty. As long as you are willing to make meritorious contributions and help me capture the messenger of the Monster Star Tower, you can return to the Tianyu Army and resume your original position.
With this letter of surrender as proof, this opportunity only comes once, so you must seize it and don’t make the mistake.”
System prompt: You have used [Recruitment Form] on the leader-level BOSS Ying Baiyu, and the recruitment is in progress.
System prompt: Ying Baiyu is thinking...
System prompt: Ying Baiyu is thinking...
System prompt: Ying Baiyu showed a hesitant expression...
System prompt: Ying Baiyu seems to have made up his mind...
Xiao Jie felt nervous as he looked at the system prompts that kept popping up. Although he felt that there was a 90% chance of success, he was still somewhat nervous.
If it fails, I will be in danger.
Just look at the name above Ying Baiyu's head. It turns yellow, then green, and then yellow again.
Finally, after it turned green again, it stopped changing.
Ying Baiyu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since that's what the real person wants, I'm willing to accept the offer, but I have to deal with the envoy from the Monster Star Tower. Do you have any plans?"
Xiao Jie heaved a sigh of relief. "This is easy. When the strange bird comes to you tomorrow, you can say that you accept its invitation. Then you can arrange a meeting place with it. Then we can set up an ambush. My companions and I will rush over and kill it."
Ying Baiyu was a little skeptical: "Do you have such ability? Are you so confident that you can kill the messenger of the Demon Star Tower?"
"Haha, of course I am not enough alone, but I have a group of companions, and you are also here. Why - are you scared?"
"Hmph, don't provoke me. I'm not afraid, but I've been dealing with the bastards in the Monster Star Tower for more than a decade. I know their strength best. Do you know what the difference is between the monsters in the Monster Star Tower and ordinary monsters?"
Xiao Jie thought to himself that he really didn't know, it just looked uglier. However, according to Master Xiao Yue, the monsters in the Demon Star Tower were all the result of countless crossbreedings, so they must have some special abilities.
"Appreciate further details."
"The monsters in the Monster Star Tower are hybrids of different monster bloodlines. They often possess multiple innate magic arts, and may even have unknown magic arts that have never been seen before. They are hard to defend against and are definitely not comparable to ordinary monsters..."
After Ying Baiyu's explanation, Xiao Jie finally understood.
The innate magic of ordinary monsters is fixed, such as the roar of a tiger, the spider's web and spider poison magic, the fox monster's illusion magic, and the rat monster's earth escape magic.
Therefore, the tactics in the confrontation are very clear, and you just need to restrain them according to their characteristics.
The strength and restraint relationship between monsters is basically fixed. When the strength is similar, you can tell which monster is more powerful without fighting.
But the monsters in the Demon Star Tower are completely different, as they are all hybrids, and it is impossible to confirm what their innate magic is.
This is troublesome, because no one knows what strange magic the other party will use.
Xiao Jie thought that it was indeed a trouble, but it was not a big problem. With you as the BOSS in front to take the damage, it would be easy to deal with as long as you could find out the opponent's skills.
Besides, he still has a trump card that he hasn't used yet.
"Hahaha, Captain Ying, don't worry. I have my own way to deal with the monster. But there is one more thing. How are you going to deal with your subordinates? If you don't make proper arrangements, it will be a trouble. Captain Ying, what is your relationship with those monsters? Do you have any brothers who are willing to die for you?"
Ying Baiyu shook his head and said, "They are just a bunch of rabble. I fled here and killed the old leader, and then I subdued them. Although they are afraid of me, they are not very obedient to my orders.
I will ask them later. If they refuse to surrender, I will kill them all. However, these monsters are quite powerful. If they attack together, I am afraid I will not be able to protect you."
Xiao Jie thought that would be easy. "How about letting my brothers prepare well and act together? Then we can do this and that... this and that. How about that?"
Ying Baiyu sighed, "You are a very sinister fellow, you actually used such a vicious plan. Well, if they are stubborn, I will send them on their way."
Ying Baiyu had no feelings for his subordinates at all. He subdued them by force and there was no loyalty at all.
Before, it was entirely because he had fallen into the wilderness and turned into a monster, so he had to mingle among them. Seeing them devouring each other, eating both humans and monsters, he felt quite disdainful in his heart.
Now that we have decided to surrender, we naturally don't have to endure it anymore.
Xiao Jie quickly opened YY, "Hey, is everyone there? I have already subdued the BOSS, but there are still a lot of monsters that need to be dealt with. You guys find an ambush point, I will bring the monsters over and we will kill them all at once."
A few minutes later.
Ying Baiyu and Xiao Jie landed on the ground from the eagle's nest. At this time, Xiao Jie had used the Phantom Pearl again and turned into a monster. As Ying Baiyu issued a summons, various monsters soon gathered around.
There were as many as thirty or forty bird monsters of various kinds, and another forty or fifty transformed birds.
The strongest among them is naturally the crow spirit that has advanced to an elite monster.
These demonized birds don't have much intelligence and only know how to hunt and eat meat, so they basically don't need to be paid attention to. The most troublesome thing is that these monsters all have a certain degree of intelligence and can fly. If they are not handled properly, it will be a big trouble.
Ying Baiyu looked around at the monsters present and said loudly: "Brothers, I have already discussed with the strange bird just now, and I will take everyone to meet the envoy of the Monster Star Tower.
However, this kind of thing still depends on personal choice. The Monster Star Tower has always had a bad reputation. Once you enter the Monster Star Tower, it is hard to say how many people can survive because the strong prey on the weak. Moreover, the monsters in the Monster Star Tower are all vicious and evil. They have no bottom line and have done many evil things. If you don't like it, you can choose not to participate in it.
This time we will uphold the principle of voluntariness. Those who are willing to follow me to the Monster Star Tower can stand on the left. Those who are unwilling to go to the Monster Star Tower can stay and look after the house. This Broken Soul Forest is also a legacy, so naturally someone needs to protect it. Everyone can make their own choice."
When the monsters heard that they were going to get some benefits, they all stood on the left side, and only two or three kittens stayed on the right side.
