Currently, Moga Luo was a high-level Warrior-level Lizardmen, and Zhou Qi, after hearing Moga Luo's explanation, thought for a moment and agreed.
However, as Moga Luo suggested, Zhou Qi planned to strengthen them again.
“Ding, consumed 1,600,000 Evolution Points. Lizardmen strengthened to Six-Order Lizardmen. Congratulations, Host! Six-Order Lizardmen have received a slight increase in all attributes. Talent: Summon Kin has been upgraded to Advanced Loyalty.”
“Ding, consumed 3,200,000 Evolution Points. Lizardmen strengthened to Seven-Order Lizardmen. Congratulations, Host! Seven-Order Lizardmen have received a slight increase in all attributes. Talent: Summon Kin has been upgraded to Sworn Loyalty.”
Evolution Points ran out, only allowing him to strengthen them to Seven-Order Lizardmen, but the summoned kin had already been upgraded to Sworn Loyalty, so there was no need to fear them becoming uncontrollable later.
At this time, Moga Luo grew another horn, and his body also became more robust. He now had a total of four horns, making him a low-level Warrior-level Lizardmen.
Zhou Qi looked at the subordinate panel; the Seven-Order Lizardmen's Life Strength had reached a full 16 points.
“It's just that the appearance of this Seven-Order Lizardmen feels somewhat similar to 'Demon Junior Dragon',” Zhou Qi shook his head and chuckled to himself.
Immediately, Moga Luo bid farewell to Zhou Qi with the other two, and the group stealthily departed under the cover of night.
Late at night, the sky was already faintly lit.
The three Moga Luo walked out of the cave entrance, their forms shifting rapidly, each transforming into the appearance of a man. Donning black robes, they hurried along.
The three Lizardmen moved like black lightning, swiftly traversing the mountain forests.
Their figures flashed through the dense branches and leaves, stirring up a rustling sound.
The group utilized their agility advantage, leaping forward on steep slopes, their four claws landing steadily on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Seeing that the other two couldn't keep up with his speed, Moga Luo, who was in the lead, waved his hands, tucked them under his armpits, and sprinted forward.
The mountain wind whistled past his ears, and with each step the Seven-Order Lizardmen took, a small pit was dug into the ground, its powerful strength continuously propelling him forward.
After an hour or so of continuous sprinting, they finally reached the canyon before sunrise.
Moga Luo took out an evolution origin point and placed it at the entrance of the Underground Base.
Before leaving, Zhou Qi had given him two evolution origin points: one to be placed at the cave entrance, and the other to be placed in the underground world.
The other two Lizardmen found some bushes, and after the three entered the passage, they used the bushes to cover the cave entrance to prevent it from being discovered by outsiders.
The cave was pitch black inside, but fortunately, Lizardmen could see at night, so it didn't affect them.
Moga Luo then led the two back to the underground world. The passage was extremely deep; even with their physical qualities, they would have to travel thousands of kilometers downwards, which would take several days to reach.

On the other side, after Moga Luo left, Zhou Qi stayed alone beside the Eight-Order Army Ant Queen.
The Life Strength division he had set earlier, once it exceeded ten points, became very vague.
He could, however, draw inspiration from the Lizardmen race's classification. Based on what he discovered during the process of strengthening the Lizardmen, Zhou Qi re-optimized the Life Strength division.
3-4 points were still Beast-level, which were common life forms that ordinary humans could potentially kill in a bare-handed fight without weapons.
5-6 points were Fierce Beast-level, existing only in large mountain forests or grasslands. Ordinary humans were completely unable to contend with them in a bare-handed fight without weapons, but with cold weapons, there was a 50/50 chance.
7-9 points: Low-level Warrior-level, the Peak life forms that nature could nurture, such as elephants, Kodiak bears, etc. It was difficult to win against them even with cold weapons; only compound bows or hot weapons could be used.
10-12 points: Intermediate Warrior-level. Their Physical Body qualities had already surpassed the limits of ordinary life forms. Blades and swords were difficult to wound them, and small-caliber bullets could not kill them.
13-15 points: Advanced Warrior-level. Their Physical Body qualities were further enhanced. Those who reached this realm were like armored warriors, and only large-caliber assault rifles hitting vital points could possibly kill them.
Currently, the Seven-Order Lizardmen had 16 points of Life Strength. According to the ternary system, a low-level Warrior-level should have 16-18 points. This was something Zhou Qi could no longer judge on his own.
By analogy, the Elder-level would probably exceed 25 points of Life Strength, which was truly terrifying.
Even if Lizardmen had no special abilities, relying solely on their Physical Body, they could probably withstand small missiles. No wonder the Human Race army dared not invade the underground world.
Currently, according to this Rank division, his own 19.5 Life Strength was only equivalent to an Intermediate Warrior-level.
This was also due to the continuous reproduction of the Eight-Order Army Ant Queen during this period, including the Mental Power increase he gained from strengthening his subordinates, which allowed him to reach this energy level.
His strongest subordinate, the Eight-Order Army Ant Queen, also saw her Mental Power rise with the increase in her subordinates. Currently, she only had 26 points of Life Strength, roughly equivalent to an Elder-level Lizardmen.
As for his other subordinates, the Spiked Horned Tyrant Bug would only have 9.5 Life Strength at Fifth-Order. The ones currently bred were all Fourth-Order, with only 7 points of Life Strength without talent bonuses, barely qualifying as low-level Warrior-level.
As for the Four Fiends Insect Soldiers, the Fourth-Order ones currently had less than 7 points, only counting as Fierce Beast-level. They would only reach 9 points of Life Strength at Fifth-Order.
Zhou Qi converted the Life Energy levels of his subordinates and found that, apart from the Eight-Order Army Ant Queen and himself, few of them were capable fighters.
He couldn't help but feel anxious. The most urgent task now was to accumulate Evolution Points.

November 5, 2016
Current Evolution Points: 7,455,000.
A few days passed in a flash. These days, Zhou Qi had been continuously expanding his Yellow Mealworms breeding scale, even directly bringing a large batch to the Underground Base for the Eight-Order Army Ant Queen to raise.
Currently, the most basic food source was tai sui meat, which was almost inexhaustible. After breeding Yellow Mealworms, they could gradually be transferred underground.
Currently, the daily Evolution Points income had reached the 300,000 mark.
Zhou Qi had just finished packing the dried Earthworm from the breeding shed when he called Li Ruhai, asking him if he would buy dried Earthworm.
Li Ruhai immediately agreed, telling Zhou Qi to send him the address and saying he would arrive this afternoon.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Zhou Qi sensed another evolution origin point location in his mind.
He thought that Moga Luo had finally arrived underground and placed the evolution origin point. Zhou Qi momentarily felt like teleporting over to see what the underground world was like.
He thought about it and still held back. A round trip would cost 2,000,000 Evolution Points. It was better to accumulate Evolution Points first and strengthen the Eight-Order Army Ant Queen.
In the afternoon, Li Ruhai arrived in a truck.
“Xiao Zhou, I've been looking for you for a while. Let me see the quality of the dried Earthworm you mentioned.” As soon as he got out of the car, Li Ruhai went straight to the point.
Zhou Qi directly led Li Ruhai to the front of the breeding shed, where several sacks were already laid out, densely packed with dried Earthworm.
Li Ruhai stepped forward, reached in and squeezed some, then pondered, “The quality isn't very good, and they are all small Earthworm. The market price is normally 120 per jin, so I'll give you that price too.”
“Thank you, Brother Li.” Zhou Qi cupped his hands in gratitude, mentally remembering this favor.
He was quite clear about the price of dried Earthworm. The fact that the Earthworm seedlings he bought could fetch this price after drying already spoke volumes about Li Ruhai's character.
100,000 jin of dried Earthworm would yield approximately 6,000 jin, which meant this transaction alone was 720,000 yuan.
The two of them together loaded the sacks of dried Earthworm onto the truck, and then Li Ruhai drove away from there.
