Chapter 242: Medusa’s Temptation

Chapter 237 – Medusa’s Temptation
Although the two sides reached a cooperation, things didn’t end, instead, it had just begun, because the complexity of the matter was beyond Owen’s imagination, before, he didn’t even think that the situation in the Valley Town or Qunshan was so special.

Qunshan because of the high terrain and cold climate, resulting in the production of goods is not rich, even if you learn to reclaim the terraces, it is difficult to meet the demand, so the beast subhuman hiding in Qunshan had to be dispersed in populations, with dozens of hundreds of people to form a small group, relying on hunting and gathering to make a living.

This resulted in each small tribe being very closed, and it was too difficult to gather them together.

First of all, they wouldn’t be willing to fight for the lizardmen, and secondly, fighting a war would require consuming the tribe’s adult population, which was the foundation of the tribe’s existence, adding to the trouble.

Although the speed and scale of the development of the town of the valley was completely beyond the limitations of the mountains because of the existence of the teleportation array, the interior was still dominated by small groups of caste holders, so even as the mayor of the town, he did not have much power.

For example, Mei Ya, she was able to become the town mayor because she was strong enough, as for management, there was no management at all, the entire town was completely free to operate, if it wasn’t for the perennial influence of outsiders, this place would have been in chaos, rather than becoming rich and prosperous.

The only thing Meiya did in this situation was to collect taxes and then take out the stragglers who dared to peek into the town of Phantom Valley.

Owen was directly speechless, he thought that his management of the territory was already invincible, but he didn’t realize that Meiya was even more fierce than him, directly treating himself as a protection fee collector.

In fact, Mei Ya is also full of helplessness, the valley town she does not want to manage, but can not manage, strength allows her to occupy the position of mayor of the town and collect high taxes, but as an outsider, there is no close friends under her command, it is impossible to manage the things of the town, and can not even set up an army, in other words, she did not integrate into the town at all.

In fact, Owen also had a big headache on this point, Meiya lacked enough calling power to integrate the strength of the town of Yougu, not to mention the tribes of beast subhumans scattered in the mountains.

In desperation, Owen decided to start with the town first, forming a small-scale army to lead the way, but after mapping out the situation, he almost wanted to leave it alone.

Beast subhuman is far stronger and sharper than humans, even if the cat lady and the rabbit girl in the size to reach the level of normal people, also has the strength of the empty-handed car over a few strong man, not to mention the hand on the disfigurement of the cat lady, even if it seems to be very bullying rabbit girl, thanks to the rabbit’s well-developed lower limb strength, a foot can be two hundred pounds of heavy man stomped flying seven or eight meters away, the physical condition of a little less can be ready to open the table, lighter will have to break a fan of rib cage! This shows how strong the body capital of the beast subhuman is.

The problem is that too much reliance on physical advantages, resulting in the beast subhuman is not good at using tools and weapons.

The valley town is good, by the influence of outsiders already have the foundation of civilization, the other beast subhuman tribes in the mountains can not, even in these small tribes can rarely see iron, and wooden stick and stone axe is obviously not as good as the original claws and teeth.

Not to mention the issue of discipline, want to let the wild beast subhuman fight for their lives is easy, let them learn discipline and know how to obey orders, but also kill them simple.

The stronger the beast subhuman, the more so, which makes Owen’s idea of forming an army from the beginning in a deadlock.

It soon became clear to Owen that beast subhumans were better suited to be used as odd soldiers or special forces rather than large-scale combat.

Maya on the side reacted faster than Owen, and after frowning, gave a modified version of the initial plan.

Previously, he was prepared to work steadily, first forming an army and establishing a good base before talking about cooperation with the Mountain Mother Clan.

Now it could only be the other way around, first trading with the Mountain Mother Clan as an arms dealer, then slowly integrating the beast subhuman tribes of the Gun Mountains.

The change in plans had lowered the importance of the town of Yulia by a level, and after noticing this, Meiya hesitated for a moment before proposing a new deal. Now Meiya realized that she couldn’t do anything without manpower, so she wanted to hire some manpower from Owen.

Meiya planned to hire some foreign adventurers and find some more from the residents of Yuya Town, together with the manpower she hired from Owen here, she could barely build up a squad that wouldn’t be able to only watch from the sidelines during the next changes.

This Owen was very interested in, after all, he wasn’t afraid of his men being bribed to betray him, so the more Meiya hired, the more benefits he would get, so with a change of heart, he took out a troop type that the other party simply couldn’t refuse, the Snake-haired Banshee.

The four types of magical creatures in the dungeon all have different advances, where the advancement of the viper includes the snake-haired banshee, and even the stronger Medusa.

As expected, after seeing that there was a kindred spirit, Meiya decided to hire it without even thinking about it, as she was confident that she would truly take the other party as her family’s squad.

However, the Snake-haired Demoness that Meiya hired needed Owen to spend progress value to exchange it, and it wasn’t cheap, so ordinary gold and silver wouldn’t do, it had to be a rare resource like secret silver and fine gold.

Mei Ya does not care about this, a generous wave of the hand, the first ten to check the goods.

This action made Maya’s eyes light up, reevaluating the wealth contained in the mountains.

In reality this was quite normal, Gunsan lacked food but never lacked resources.

The rolling hills contained endless amounts of high-quality wood and minerals, including gold, silver, gems, crystals, sulfur, saltpeter, and precious magical crystals, secret silver, and fine gold, all of which were found in huge veins in the hills.

This place is worth taking, Maya’s eyes were glowing as she kept counting, while Owen nodded with satisfaction after checking the quality of the secret silver and fine gold.

“Ordinary minerals such as gold and silver can be exchanged for supplies, as for the secret silver and fine gold, in addition to hiring the snake-haired banshee, you can also pick some of these to exchange.” Owen rewrote a list for Meiya and took out some samples, as secret silver and fine gold were not something that could be measured by ordinary supplies, he was not yet ready to deceive the other party in this regard.

“I want the bloodline potion!” Meiya took a glance at the emerald green potion, as her bloodline was signaling its desire, and she couldn’t wait any longer.

“Yes, there are beginner’s bloodline potions, advanced ones, and even a perfect potion that can make you a Medusa.” Owen’s tone, though flat, was full of temptation for Mia.

Just like the relationship between a nine-tailed fox and a vixen, Medusa and a snake-haired demoness likewise had a huge class gap, not in terms of strength, but in terms of the evolution of the level of life, so there wasn’t that snake-haired demoness who could resist the temptation of becoming a Medusa, just like there weren’t many fox demons who didn’t want to be Daji.

Mei Ya instinctively sensed that she was about to fall into the other party’s trap, but this was a Yang conspiracy, as long as she could not resist the temptation to become Medusa, she would inevitably fall into the trap.

The key was that the bottle of bloodline potion in front of her, as well as Maya, were not fake, further confirming that what Owen said was true.
