Then let them offer their loyalty!

He silently gave Qin Shuman a thumbs up in his heart.

After distributing the equipment and explaining the orders, Qiu Tu gave the order and the operation officially began!

The four teams have different tasks.

Team One, which is Qiu Tu's team, has the most dangerous job. Their mission is to record the movements of the evil god.

Team Two's mission is to collect information on the distribution of catastrophic organisms in the New Territories.

Team Three's mission is to collect plants, soil, water, and minerals from the New Territories region.

Team Four's mission is to create a regional map of the near-New Territories base, as well as to explore and map the ley lines.

The situation in the New Territories deteriorated too quickly. After the various factions and families arrived at the shelter, they only roughly surveyed the outer perimeter before building a "pioneer base" together.

Before they could even investigate the specifics of the New Territories area, they were scared away by Zhao Ji's aura.

Therefore, the mission of this suicide squad is to investigate the true situation of the New Territories.

This will allow experts from various factions and families to gain a comprehensive understanding of the New Territories. A detailed assessment will be conducted: What is the current level of danger in the New Territories? How much catastrophic material does it contain? Is it worthwhile to risk seizing the New Territories and continuing the "Great Expansion Project"?

Time always flies when you're busy.

This is why some people can finish a 30-minute assignment in just 3 minutes.

So, two days passed very quickly.

Over the past two days, both evil gods have behaved themselves, continuing to systematically infiltrate the New Territories at several leyline nodes.

The suicide squad mostly operated on the periphery, so they didn't attract their attention.

Qiu Tu used "Infinite Vision" several times without noticing any danger.

Meanwhile, the suicide squad would go out to gather information during the day and return to the base at night to summarize and recuperate.

Although I'm on edge every day, everything is going smoothly.

As for Qiu Tu himself, with La Riluo's reminder, he has been using the "Boundless Divine Crystal" to replenish his cataclysmic power consumption every moment for the past two days.

In just two days, nearly a third of the regional central area had been refined.

This also gave him a second ability as the lord of the region...

Chapter 358 The Second Ability of the Regional Lord! (10,000 words, please vote!)

Late at night. An endless sea of ​​emotions, in the New Territories.

The azure sky is like a meticulously painted scroll, showcasing the deepest and most enchanting scenery of the night.

The Milky Way stretches across the sky like a flowing river of light, dividing the night sky in two and casting a soft, clear glow, draping the "Pioneer Base" in a thin veil of silver.

In the room at the pioneering base, Qiu Tu stood by the window, admiring the night view outside, while listening to La Riluo beside him talk about the second ability of the regional lord.

According to Larilu, once one-third of the regional central area has been refined, the regional lord will gain a second ability related to the region: altering the terrain.

As long as the lord of a region is within his own region, he can spend a certain amount of mental energy and cataclysmic power to change the terrain.

For example, turning hillsides into depressions and swamps into river channels. It's incredibly powerful.

After listening to La Riluo's story, Qiu Tu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He looked at Larilu with curiosity, then asked bluntly, "Your Highness... since you can change the terrain, how were you ambushed and attacked by Liu Xiong Yuan and his men back then?"

"Shouldn't you be the one ambush them instead?"

Hearing Qiu Tu expose her shortcomings, La Riluo's forehead veins throbbed, and she decided to simply ignore Qiu Tu.

Then, suddenly... a tiny "Boundless Divine Crystal" the size of a pinhead was presented to her.

Lari Luo: ? ? ?

Looking at the "Boundless Divine Crystal" that was so small that it was almost useless, Larilu became even angrier.

She was determined to have a serious talk with Qiu Tu and fight for her rights!

However... Qiu Tu didn't indulge her at all. Seeing that La Riluo didn't want it, he reached out and took it back.

Larilu panicked when she saw this and quickly said, "No, no, no! I'll tell you, okay?"

Filled with resentment, La Rilu cursed Qiu Tu in her heart!

She secretly vowed: her current forbearance was only to regain her strength!

Once she returns to the fourth-tier Evil God realm, she'll definitely kidnap Qiu Tu and make him play cards with beautiful women every day, a hundred times over!

Make him provide you with the power of cataclysm every day to sustain your "life" until you die of exhaustion!

Thinking this, Larilu swallowed the needle-sized "Boundless Divine Crystal" in one gulp, and then said irritably, "You think changing the terrain is about doing whatever you want, and being able to conjure up a mountain to block attacks during battle!"

"But in reality, that's not the case at all."

"Changing the terrain requires distraction and entering a state of unlimited vision. It's simply impossible to do during combat!"

"So, it's understandable that I was ambushed by Liu Xiongyuan and his men, right?"

Hearing Larilu's explanation, Qiu Tu nodded in understanding. He felt he understood how to use the "alter terrain" ability now...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu first activated "Infinite Vision," and then reappeared in the sky above the entire New Territories region from a God's-eye view.

The sounds of insects and frogs in the primeval jungle at night create a symphony that is exceptionally beautiful.

The towering trees, hidden in the darkness, appeared both mysterious and enormous under the faint light of the Milky Way.

Looking at every blade of grass and every tree in the New Territories, at the streams and the swamps...

Qiu Tu felt like he was God, as if he could change the entire area at will simply by reaching out his hand!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's gaze fell on the slowly flowing stream.

He "stretched out" his finger and gently traced a line along the stream!

The next second, a loud "rumbling" sound came from the silent forest in the distance, and a short, crescent-shaped new ditch suddenly appeared beside the stream in front of Qiu Tu!

Seeing this, Qiu Tu reached out and pinched the original riverbed of the stream again!

The next second, the riverbed was molded into soil, and the once-flowing stream, with no way forward, slowly drifted along the new riverbed that Qiu Tu had just drawn...

One finger can change the river's course!

'Is this the power of "altering the terrain"?'

Looking at the new river channel he had created, Qiu Tu was momentarily dazed.

For some reason, he felt as if he truly possessed godlike power.

If this isn't godlike power, then what is it?

Thinking about it this way, Qiu Tu began to understand to some extent why the evil gods were so arrogant...

Hmm, he's already feeling a bit overconfident after refining only a third of it. What would happen if he refined it all?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu slowly came back to his senses.

At this moment, Lariluo leaned against the soul altar, looking at him with some surprise, "How did you get here so fast?"

"It hasn't been that long, and you've already refined one-third of the regional core!"

Qiu Tu said with a serious expression, "Your Highness, you must be confused because you are too saddened by the loss of the regional central authority."

"Have you forgotten... that your regional hub was stolen by the whale shark?"

Larilu: ....

La Riluo realized that Qiu Tu was really stubborn, almost just like his own younger brother!

That morning, when she gave it to Qiu Tu's younger brother...

Thinking of this, Larilu quickly stopped her wild thoughts.

That would be a stain on her life; she should try not to think about it if possible!

Meanwhile, as Lariro was lost in thought...

Suddenly, "thump thump thump".

There was a knock on Qiu Tu's door from the outside.

Qiu Tu turned his head to look outside the door, and the infinite distance allowed him to clearly see that the person standing outside was his teammate: Nanfeng.

Or rather... Tang Feifei.

In fact, Qiu Tu discovered Nan Feng's identity as early as the first day.

Besides the fact that Nanfeng, like Qin Shuman, was one of the first to step forward without hesitation to carry out the mission with Qiu Tu.

Also because... she was just too conspicuous.

Of her 23 subordinates, apart from her, a quick glance revealed their loyalty stats.

Only she... has a completely bald head. There's not even a loyalty indicator.

That's Tang Feifei, who else could it be?

It's important to understand that even spies, and subordinates like Qin Shuman who have been possessed, have loyalty ratings.

The only person who doesn't show loyalty is Qiu Tu's boss.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu put La Riluo back into his "Gold-Loving Wallet" and then called out, "Please come in."

Tang Feifei chose a burly, strong man as her replacement.

Upon entering Qiu Tu's room, Tang Feifei saluted and then said with a serious expression, "Sir, I have important intelligence."

Upon hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu's eyes sharpened, and he asked, "What intelligence?"

Tang Feifei said with a serious expression, "Just now, when the Chenlong team was on night duty, they unexpectedly discovered some low-level catastrophic creatures in the New Territories area."

"These catastrophic creatures seem to be searching for something, digging here and there in the forest."

Upon hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu was startled, and then quickly turned on "Wireless Line of View" again to take a look at the current situation in the primeval forest.

Perhaps because the objects on the ground were too small in the air, and because Qiu Tu was focused on "changing the terrain" and didn't notice, he was distracted.

Now, as he zoomed in to examine the anomalies in the forest, he discovered that monstrous creatures, some only half a meter tall, with five to seven vertical stripes on their bodies, fish heads, human bodies, and wielding steel forks, were digging around everywhere.

Qiu Tu examined them closely and felt they resembled arowanas.

'Are these the subordinates summoned by the whale shark?'

Two days ago, when Qiu Tu was gathering information from La Riluo, he learned that evil gods and regional lords are actually different.

Some evil gods are the darlings of the world, born and raised by nature. They possess immense individual strength and always act alone.

However, some evil gods and regional lords have their own vassals and many catastrophic creatures under their command.

And whales are one of them...

'It seems... the difficulty of today's task has increased considerably...'

Hopefully, nothing unexpected will happen.

......

Nothing happened that night, and the next day...

Qiu Tu encouraged the team members again, then informed them of the appearance of the boat-shaped fish, and once again directed the four teams to carry out the mission together.

The team's mission remains the same: to investigate the evil god.

Therefore, Qiu Tu had already located the whale shark's position and the route of the boats along the way, and led a team through many twists and turns to the whale shark's location.

The whale was resting at this time.

In the past two days, he has found a total of 5 ley line nodes and successfully infiltrated 2 of them.

Based on the 81 ley lines, he and another evil god should be able to completely gain control of the New Territories in about 15 days.

However, because the ley lines became increasingly difficult to find as he progressed, he summoned hundreds of his subordinate boat-like creatures to help him search for them.

Qiu Tu first used the exploration artifact "Thousand-Mile Eye" to carefully observe the whale's condition, and then took out the recording artifact "Fluorite" to record the whale's current situation.
