My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 282: Seizing the Initiative

Since returning to the Giant Force Warrior's shoulder last time, until the deaths of Feiyu and the Four Flying Generals, Li Rui had not stood up. Using the Fire Bell Spell against these Demon Race creatures that couldn't even reach a minor boss level was already giving them a lot of face.

If it weren't for establishing his power, he wouldn't even need to use this skill.

At this moment, the little Monkey Demon hiding behind him was still trembling, but when he heard the noises around him completely disappear, he couldn't help but peek out to take a look.

"Ah—"

He made an indescribable gasp, too shocked to say a word.

At this time, Li Rui stood up, glanced at the shivering Flying Leopard Demon Race below, whispered a few words into the Giant Force Warrior's ear, then covered his own ears.

The Giant Force Warrior shouted loudly: "The master has ordered: the Flying Leopard Demon Race is cruel and bloodthirsty, with despicable nature, having bullied my Ape Race for years. Today, in the name of heaven, they will all be exterminated!"

"Roar!!!"

All those of the Powerful Ape Race, being demons themselves, let out ferocious roars filled with murderous intent.

The times have changed!

The Flying Leopard Demon Race was terrified and wanted to flee, but with their leaders wiped out and a fiery god of death on the opposite side, how could they escape?

Just then, Yuan Ju stepped forward and said.

"Wait! Please listen to me."

As the king of the Powerful Ape Race, the other Monkey Demons naturally stopped clamoring.

The leaderless Flying Leopard Demon Race was even more confused.

Only to hear Yuan Ju say: "The Flying Leopard Race killed and looted in the past only because their leaders were unjust, but the many clansmen are innocent. Now that the evil leaders are executed, there is no need for a massacre. I hope the master understands."

When those of the Leopard Race heard that there was a chance of survival, they no longer thought of fleeing desperately. An elder leopard who seemed of higher status stepped forward.

"We are willing to submit, form an eternal alliance with the Ape Race, and hope the king will take us in."

Most of the Leopard Demons had no objections, but a few die-hard warriors charged out from the demon crowd, heading straight for the Giant Force Warrior.

Li Rui admired such heroes who would rather die than change their resolve, and then killed them with Thunder Vortex.

The demons were once again filled with dread.

He said coldly, "Any who remain obstinate will be killed without mercy!"

This play of being a harsh and lenient character was what he had previously whispered to Yuan Ju.

Since he had decided to help the Monkey Demons, he might as well see it through to the end. After all, if the Flying Leopard Race were completely wiped out, future troubles like Flying Tigers, Flying Wolves, or Flying Chickens might arise to oppress them. Better to merge them together.

So Li Rui first let Yuan Ju and Feiyu fight one-on-one to display strength and earn respect, then used thunderous means to annihilate the opponent's leaders, shattering the enemy's morale. He then pretended to pursue their extermination, allowing Yuan Ju to plead for mercy.

In this way, at least for a short time, the Flying Leopard Race should remain stable.

Not long after, Li Rui entered the Leopard Race encampment, which looked different from the Monkey Demon tribe's side, more grim, with bones and fangs hanging everywhere.

A few Leopard Race elders personally came out to greet him, treating him as an honored guest, not daring to show any resistance.

Primarily because Li Rui was too powerful for the two tribes here, a complete power disparity, he alone could wipe out an entire camp.

"From now on, the two tribes must coexist peacefully and not start conflicts again."

Li Rui earnestly made them understand with reasoning.

The demons all agreed repeatedly, genuinely feeling awe.

They had no choice but to comply.

Even the Secret Realm system gave a prompt.

[Factions relationship updated.]

[Powerful Ape Race: Worship.]

[Flying Leopard Race: Fear.]

A councilman named Fei Xiong proactively said, "Grand General, the chieftain has a box with a Holy Artifact, please accept it with a smile."

When the translation monkey conveyed this sentence, Li Rui almost burst out laughing, but he kept a straight face and said, "Bring it here and let me see."

Soon, a delicate small box was placed before him.

He opened the lid and saw inside a purple orb, reaching to touch it, it was an Epic Level material.

Although this item wasn't particularly precious to Li Rui at this stage, it was still quite abundant in such a low-level environment.

"No wonder everyone wants to enter the Secret Realm battlefield; even the low-level monsters give Epic Level items, wouldn't the high-level ones be even more abundant?"

As Li Rui was about to close the box, he suddenly noticed a gold square-hole coin at the bottom of the box.

"What is this item?"

The nearby Flying Leopard elders exchanged glances, and Fei Xiong said, "It's said that in the northern Nuanyang State, there is a treasure, and once you find eighty-one of these coins, you can unlock it."

Li Rui held that gold coin in his hand.

[Pure Gold Coin.]

[Description: An object gathering positive energy, not soul-bound, drops upon death.]

There were no prompts, no clues, but it could be stored in the inventory.

"It should be a quest item, drops upon death? Meaning, if another Secret Realm agent has it, killing him would drop gold coins? Could this be the final reward of this battlefield?"

Li Rui's eyes glinted, feeling that the old leopard was probably right. He suddenly remembered something, quickly checking the map in his inventory, and saw that on the northern Nuanyang State, in the unexplored dark area, indeed a large question mark appeared.

The golden question mark of the Divine Wood Forest seemed like a little brother compared to that one.

He quickly asked, "Is there such an item in the Divine Wood Forest?"

Fei Xiong immediately said, "Other tribes should have it, I think."

Li Rui looked at Yuan Ju, who quickly said, "This coin was actually taken from me by the Flying Leopard Race back then, and there isn't such an item in my tribe now."

"Haha, I meant nothing else." Li Rui's face didn't show it, but inside he felt it would be interesting if the Ape Race also had them.

"Since that's the case, I wish to go deep into the forest to find this item, who is willing to accompany me?"

Yuan Ju immediately said, "I am willing to accompany the master."

Fei Xiong, also adept at reading the situation, followed suit, "I, old as I am, am willing to accompany the Grand General."

Li Rui thought for a moment and said, "Yuan Erliang and the Giant Force Warrior will come with me, Fei Xiong will lead fifty elite soldiers to follow, we set off tomorrow, Yuan Ju stays to lead the two tribes in building a new village."

Now that the two tribes were unified by him, they naturally had to merge. Anyway, among the Demon Race, the survival of the fittest with beast instincts preserved meant merging wasn't a big deal. Back in the Demon Dragon Valley, weren't various demon races under the rule of the Mountain Monarch and Tiger Race?

But Li Rui was no fool, taking Fei Xiong elder and Leopard Race elites with him was to weaken the strength they left behind, to prevent any incidents.

By this time, it was already late, and Li Rui had something to eat on the spot, then instructed Yuan Ju: "Set guards, don't slack off."

It must be said, being the leader of two tribes, the living conditions were quite good, with plenty to eat and drink, a place to sleep, incense to drive away mosquitoes, and even a few female monkeys wanting to warm his bed, which was mercilessly declined.

He lay on the bed, pondering.

"Since the treasure in Nuanyang State requires Pure Gold Coins to open, there's no rush to go yet; others can't gather them quickly either. I'll first find a way to get more, to get a head start."

"I should be slightly quicker than others, right? Hmm, don't rush, clearing this forest within five days should be enough."

.....

Far to the east, Dong Sanchuan also lay in a tent, as Yu Xin had just taken over his watch duty.

Lying on the grass mat, his mind was heavy with thoughts.

"It's been a day, and there's still no news of the main forces, we'll probably have to hold out in this place for a while."

"Nearby there is a tribe of Snake Demons, relations are neutral, treat them with caution, don't let the relationship turn cold."

"Let's see, five days, strive to elevate relations to a state of admiration, but first solve the language barrier issue."

"Forget it, let's rest first and see if there's any opportunity tomorrow."
