Chapter 54

"Those bastards!" Being forced out of his territory by those NPCs with such methods, Zhou Tian was naturally extremely angry at the time. However, considering the strength of those NPCs, although he was very angry, Zhou Tian ultimately did not dare to really go and confront them.

"What should I do now?" Realizing that with his strength alone, he could not stop the NPCs' invasion, Zhou Tian felt somewhat at a loss. After all, if he could not eventually reclaim that territory, he would face the punishment of the Blood Moon Sect Leader.

"If one person's strength is not enough, then gather more strength!" Unable to think of how to drive those NPCs away with his own strength, Zhou Tian gritted his teeth and made a decision at that moment.

"NPCs are also a means for us to gain merit. Even when there is nothing happening, we monsters often conflict with those NPCs. Now, as long as we give other monsters a chance to deal with those NPCs, I believe that besides our half-human race, there should be many other branches interested in those NPCs! What I need to do now is to stir up the enthusiasm of those monsters. If my efforts succeed, it won't be so easy for those NPCs to occupy my territory." After making up his mind, Zhou Tian gritted his teeth and turned to head towards the nearby monster branches...

"Who are you?" Just as Zhou Tian approached a certain place, several figures suddenly jumped out in front of him, blocking his path and asking about his intentions.

Zhou Tian knew that the main reason they did not attack him immediately was that he was also a monster. Otherwise, if it were an NPC or a player, these monsters would not be so talkative.

"I am the leader of the half-human race. I came here to find your mother. Please inform her of my presence." After saying this, Zhou Tian bowed to the few figures.

This time, Zhou Tian sought out the strongest monster group in the beginner area, the 'Doll House,' which was no longer considered a beginner-level group.

The Doll House was different from other monster branches; its structure was quite unique. The strongest boss was the creator of all the dolls, their mother, the Doll Maker. Zhou Tian was not very familiar with her level, but he had heard that a five-man team of players around level 20 was completely wiped out when they fought this boss. Therefore, Zhou Tian estimated that the Doll Maker's level should not be lower than 50.

Below the Doll Maker were various types of doll monsters: the Gold Dolls at level 40, the Silver Dolls at level 35, the Iron Dolls at level 30, and the Cloth Dolls at level 25.

Even without considering the Doll Maker's strength, the dolls themselves were much stronger than other monsters in the beginner area. The dolls in the Doll House were the only ones in the beginner area capable of directly confronting the NPCs.

Since Zhou Tian wanted to use other monsters to restrain the NPCs, the strength of the group he chose naturally had to have the ability to fight the NPCs. Undoubtedly, in the entire beginner area, Zhou Tian had no other choice besides the Doll House.

After hearing Zhou Tian's words, the few dolls he encountered thought for a moment and then, as Zhou Tian requested, went to report the situation to their mother.

Those dolls looked like enlarged Barbie dolls, similar in size to adults but still somewhat strange. If Zhou Tian had not already seen various strange monsters, he would probably have been surprised and studied them for a long time just based on their appearance.

Zhou Tian did not have to wait too long. Although the half-human race he ruled was much weaker than the Doll House, as the leader of the half-humans, his status was different from that of ordinary monsters. Even if the Doll Maker was extremely powerful, she still showed some courtesy to Zhou Tian.

As a result, less than ten minutes after Zhou Tian sent the dolls to deliver his message, the Doll Maker responded and sent the dolls to relay her message.

"Mother invites you, Leader, please follow us." The dolls bowed to Zhou Tian, relayed the Doll Maker's message, and then turned to head towards the Doll House.

Zhou Tian did not hesitate and followed the dolls towards the Doll House.

"The strength of the Doll House is really formidable. If such a number and level of monster groups were to mobilize, even an NPC city would feel pressure in dealing with their attack!" Seeing the numerous figures revealed around him, Zhou Tian secretly calculated the number of dolls and could not help but be surprised by the strength of the Doll House.

In the end, with the idea that the half-human race was not yet a match for the Doll House, Zhou Tian followed the few dolls and arrived at the Doll House's base, where the Doll Maker resided.

"I can't believe the Doll Maker lives in such a place." Zhou Tian had not expected that the Doll Maker would live in a very common and ordinary thatched cottage. If Zhou Tian had not already seen the dolls' protection of this house, he would find it hard to believe that the resident was not a weak NPC but the top boss of the beginner area's monster group.

Of course, although Zhou Tian was surprised by the simplicity of the Doll Maker's residence, he did not say much. He tidied up his appearance and, like an employee meeting a superior, knocked on the door. After receiving permission, he left his guards behind and entered the room alone.

"Are you the Doll Maker?" Zhou Tian was once again surprised by what he saw. As the strongest boss in the beginner area, Zhou Tian had imagined what the Doll Maker might look like. But no matter how he thought about it, he never imagined that the Doll Maker would appear as an 11- or 12-year-old girl.
