Lord of All People: My Undead Skeletons Billions

Chapter 168: A New Trend! The Death of a Rare Lord!
"Forget it. The price of metal resources is falling, and it is an inevitable trend. I can't change anything by my own strength!"

"We can only hope that the merchant lords of the Resource Merchant Alliance can unite and not lower prices privately, so as to avoid trampling on each other. This way, we can at least hold on for a few more days!"

"I have to earn more energy points during these last few days!"

"Otherwise, once the price of metal resources drops, it won't be so easy to earn a large amount of energy points in the future!"

Qin Luo touched his chin, thinking.

He was thinking that if the price of metal resources fell, although he could still earn energy points by selling metal resources, the amount he earned would definitely be much less than it was now.

Of course, at every stage of territory development, new opportunities will emerge. It depends on whether Qin Luo can find and seize the new opportunities to make a fortune.

But what is the next trend?

Qin Luo doesn’t know now!

But according to his guess, it is most likely a new resource, something rarer than refined gold or magic crystal.

As for the price of metal resources, although Qin Luo also wants to stabilize it, this kind of thing cannot be changed by personal will.

The most important factor that determines market prices is supply and demand.

Before tonight, all lords will need to consume metal resources such as hematite, and the number of people will reach billions.

As for the resource merchant lords, although their number has been increasing rapidly, it is only a few hundred thousand, less than one million.

Because of this, metal resources are in short supply and prices remain high.

But after the dark offensive tonight, most of the lords must have obtained metal resources from the monsters.

As a result, the market demand for metal resources will be greatly reduced, which will directly affect the sales volume and price of hematite.

"It seems that the goblins must be taken down as soon as possible, no matter what the cost!"

Qin Luo murmured.

His biggest hope now is that the price collapse can be postponed for a few days, allowing him to obtain the goblins' mineral resources and then make the last huge sum of money.

Just as Qin Luo was about to switch the perspective back, he discovered through Long Ba's perspective that a dozen green-skinned giants suddenly appeared below and slowly walked out of the territory.

On the shoulder of one of the green-skinned giants stood a female lord.

This person was none other than one of Qin Luo’s neighbors, the rare lord Xiong Zifang.

"What is she going to do?"

Qin Luo's eyes fell on Xiong Zifang. He could sense his aura without even using any detection skills. He was just an ordinary two-star.

In other words, it took five days for Xiong Zifang's territory to be upgraded once.

This development is too slow!

Not to mention a rare lord, at this stage, there are many ordinary lords who have upgraded their territories to the Black Iron level.

Even a rapidly developing lord like Qin Luo had his territory upgraded to bronze level.

Therefore, Xiong Zifang is the most tragic rare lord, and he deserves it.

Roar!
Although Qin Luo didn't know what Xiong Zifang wanted to do or what his purpose was, the undead bone dragon Long Ba, who had not left yet, saw Xiong Zifang and the ten-headed green-skinned giant appear outside the territory, flapping their bone wings and circling down with a strong wind.

Before the dragon bone dragon could resist, the sharp wind blades had already attacked and flew towards the green-skinned giant. Puff!

Puff!

The huge green giants were cut into countless pieces by the wind blades. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and it was a tragic scene.

As for Xiong Zifang, her strength was only that of an ordinary two-star, much weaker than the green-skinned giant in the Black Iron Realm. A mere magic wind blade tore her body into pieces, turning it into a bloody mist, leaving no trace of her body.

With the death of Xiong Zifang, the novice protection shield next to him turned into a white light and disappeared, and the only two buildings in the territory collapsed and turned into ruins.

[Ding, congratulations on destroying the territory of 'Xiong Zifang 985641'. You have obtained 2 territory cores, 1 barracks heart, and 100 energy points. Affected by the Bloody Moon rules, the kill reward is doubled, and you will get an additional 2 territory cores, 1 barracks heart, and 100 energy points! ]

"."

Qin Luo's mouth twitched slightly. This is definitely the poorest lord in history, with so few resources.

Apart from the necessary items in the territory core and the barracks heart, there are only 100 energy points.

Even if Qin Luo destroyed the territory of an ordinary lord, the resource gains would be ten times more than this, right?

"This Xiong Zifang is probably at the end of his rope, with nothing left to lose!"

"If he was only besieged by a group of skeleton soldiers, Xiong Zifang might still have a chance to survive!"

“But when she saw the Undead Skeleton Dragon, she must have known very well that there was no chance of recovery!”

Qin Luo sighed, "But it's better this way. The sooner you die, the sooner you can be reborn. Why should you continue to suffer while you are alive?"

It’s not that Qin Luo is cruel and ruthless, but as a lord, he has to continuously expand his territory and embark on a road of hegemony from which there is no turning back.

Lords in the same area can never become friendly and mutually supportive neighbors. They will definitely have fierce conflicts over issues such as territory expansion or distribution of interests, which will eventually lead to wars between the lords.

Although Qin Luo did not feel threatened by other lords, he was also very clear that conflicts or wars would definitely break out between him and other lords. It would be better to strike first and kill them before they grow up to prevent them from becoming a big problem.

In particular, the rare lord Xiong Zifang is the focus of attention.

Once a rare lord grows up, the threat he poses may be equal to that of a dozen or twenty ordinary lords.

What's more, the wasteland is full of rich metal mineral resources. Once a lord occupies a metal resource mine, its development speed will definitely be astonishingly fast, much faster than the lords in other areas.

This also means that although Qin Luo made a fortune with the help of metal resources, he developed rapidly.

The same goes for the lords of the wasteland. They can also obtain many energy points by selling metals, thereby speeding up the development of their territory.

In time, the power of the lords in the wasteland may be more difficult to deal with than the indigenous power.

Therefore, it is not an easy task for Qin Luo to become the overlord of the wasteland and occupy the entire wasteland.

Seeing that Xiong Zifang was dead and the territory was destroyed, Qin Luo felt relieved of the pressure and had to face one less powerful enemy in the future as the major worry was eradicated.

Rumble!
A loud noise brought Qin Luo back to his senses. He turned off the perception sharing and looked forward.

A giant monster slowly walked out of the black fog, with golden scales all over its body and an extremely powerful aura.

The third wave of dark attack tonight is still led by a red-gold troll.

However, compared to the first two red-gold trolls, its strength is much stronger!
