Chapter 407 The magical agarwood, the griffon surrenders (6000)
It just so happened that the crown count in Cao Xing's backpack had dropped to 40 million, so he could make up for it.
With a look of satisfaction, he put all the contents in the box into his backpack.
[Obtain: Coins*10 million...]
[Obtain: Space Crystal (Gold)*627]
…
“Not bad, it’s actually a full ten million.”
"The money I have now is enough for more than two hundred warriors to break through to the fifth level."
Then, Cao Xing looked at Du An next to him.
"Duane, how has the construction progress been over the past two days?"
The polar man quickly replied: "Back to Lord, we are currently building the furnace, the Lord's Mansion, and expanding the basement."
"The intermediate bakery, intermediate knight's hall, and warrior camp you ordered before have been successfully constructed."
"In addition, there is also a high-end machinery factory that you specially told us about, which has also been upgraded."
Upon hearing the last sentence, Cao Xing's eyes lit up instantly.
[Advanced Machinery Factory] is a building that he urgently needs right now.
Because only when you reach a high level can you build a goblin airship.
This enables large-scale long-distance operations.
"Very good, then you can continue to upgrade the furnace and lord's mansion. The extra manpower can be used to help build arrow towers and the like."
"Yes!"
After saying this, the strong polar man held the hammer and continued working.
At the same time, Cao Xing pressed the communication device on his ear and called Goblin Locke over.
After a moment, a short figure quickly rushed towards Cao Xing with brisk steps.
Before anyone arrived, the high-pitched voice unique to goblins sounded.
"Oh! Dear Lord, you are back!"
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and I miss your majestic figure very much!"
Cao Xing glanced at him speechlessly and asked directly: "Locke, I heard that the machinery factory has been promoted to a high level, right?"
The goblin said respectfully: "Yes, respected lord."
"I know you need a goblin airship, so I've started making one."
At this point, he said a little coyly: "But you know..."
"Such large-scale goblin technology requires a lot of manpower and material resources."
"On my own, it will take seven or eight days to make one."
Cao Xing frowned, "So slow?"
"Is there any way to speed up the production cycle?"
The goblin nodded and said: "Of course."
"You give me a few people and let them help me assemble the parts and so on. It will save a lot of time."
"It takes about three days to make one."
Cao Xing asked: "How many people are needed?"
Locke said with an embarrassed look: "Five people are enough, Lord."
"It would be better if it was someone with relevant production skills."
Cao Xing nodded, "I understand. Please call a few goblins to help in the near future."
"Later, I'll go look for anyone with relevant skills."
After saying that, he took out the [Damaged Master Energy Core] that he got from the black market from his backpack.
"Clang!"
A heavy mechanical device fell to the ground.
This kind of energy core uses a lot, so it is very heavy. Even if it is damaged, it still weighs four to five hundred kilograms.
Goblin Locke's sharp eyes recognized this thing immediately.
He exclaimed: "Oh! God of the Crypt!"
"This is a master-level energy core. The lord actually got this kind of thing!"
Cao Xing said: "That's right."
"But this thing is damaged. I need you to repair it and then transform the Earth Dragon Mecha to the master level. Are there any problems?"
"Of course it's no problem, but..."
Goblin Locke rubbed his withered hands and said with a smile on his face.
"To repair this energy core, a large amount of eternal gold and mithril are needed. In addition, frost white crystal is also needed..."
"Lord, do you think our territory has enough materials?"
Cao Xing thought for a moment, "The other materials are enough, but there is still one kind of white crystal stone missing.
"But it's fast. We can dig down a whole vein of ore in no time."
"Before that, you should make two goblin airships."
The goblin immediately straightened up, and then said respectfully: "I obey, Lord Lord!"
"Locke will work for you wholeheartedly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left with his short legs.
After arranging work for these staff members.
Cao Xing looked at the remaining half of [Chen Hun Xiang] in his backpack, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.
"Now, let's go see if this thing has any effect on griffins."
Thinking of this, he quickly came to the fourth ring area of the territory, which was next to the blacksmith shop.
There are four large gryphon cages there, with chains wrapped around the iron cages and firmly fixed to the ground.
From a distance, Cao Xing had already seen the figure inside the cage.
After several days of not eating or drinking, the four griffons had become sluggish and even on the verge of death.
They lay lifeless on the ground, and their original black and shiny feathers became dull.
The huge wings drooped feebly.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing frowned slightly.
When he came to the gryphon cage.
Several wild boar warriors guarding him saw his figure.
"Oh! Strong Lord, you are back!"
Cao Xing nodded slightly, and then asked: "How are the conditions of these griffins?"
One of the wild boar warriors quickly replied: "Not too optimistic, Lord."
"These griffins are so stubborn, like donkeys."
"In the past few days, I saw that they were dying, and I was going to feed them some food, but it turned out that they seemed to rather starve to death than eat."
"If this continues, it feels like we will be able to eat griffon meat in a few days!"
Cao Xing nodded.
He came directly to the griffins and observed them for a moment.
But these unruly creatures did not react at all after sensing Cao Xing's approach.
Their heads were drooped and their eyes were half-closed.
Even if Cao Xing put [Special Pet Ration] to their mouths, they would completely ignore it.
I sighed secretly in my heart: "Sure enough, there was no reaction."
"Creatures like gryphons are still too arrogant."
"If it were an ordinary beast, it would be impossible to resist the temptation of pet food."
"Now, it's time to use your trump card."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Xing took out the half of [Chen Hun Xiang].
Then, he asked one of the wild boar warriors to go to the blacksmith shop and pick out a piece of coal and light it.
In an instant, a faint smoke emitted from the agarwood incense in Cao Xing's hand.
After taking a few sips, a faint aroma came from the tip of my nose.
This aroma seems to make people calm down subconsciously. All thoughts in their minds are cleared away, and they just want to sleep peacefully.
The wild boar warriors couldn't help but raise their noses and smell it, and suddenly exclaimed.
"Beast God! What kind of fragrance is this? It gives me the feeling of being in my mother's arms. I almost fall asleep after just one whiff!"
"Me too!"
Cao Xing held half of the incense in his hand, then slowly squatted down and placed it next to the griffons.
As the strands of aroma penetrated their noses, these griffins seemed unable to resist the temptation and took a few sips.
Soon the aroma begins to take effect.
There was a faint glimmer in the pupils of the griffins, as if they were about to fall asleep.
In the mist...
These griffins seemed to have forgotten their physical pain, hunger and exhaustion, and their hatred for the humans in front of them.
The lingering fragrance is like a gentle hand, soothing their souls.
After two or three minutes, the originally gloomy eyes of these griffins gradually closed, and their breathing became more steady.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing instantly realized that now was the best time to use the contract scroll!
So, he took out the [Advanced Pet Contract] from his backpack and clicked to use it without hesitation.
【Contract failed...】
The first one failed, but Cao Xing was not discouraged.
Then start using the second one.
【Contract failed...】
Failed twice in a row.
The stormy gryphon that was in a dazed state seemed to be waking up.
However, the aroma of agarwood continued to work, causing them to return to the hazy state of half-asleep and half-awake.
So, Cao Xing took out the third contract scroll and clicked to use it.
At this moment, a strange feeling appeared.
It was as if there was an invisible thread connecting him to the griffon, and he could sense the other's presence even if he closed his eyes.
Moreover, he could even feel the griffon's emotions at this time.
Dizziness, anger, hunger...
A system prompt appears.
【bite! Congratulations, the contract is successful! 】
[Wind Gryphon lv53, a sixth-level boss-level creature has become your pet, territory population +5, prosperity +10]
…
At this moment, a look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on Cao Xing's face!
It’s finally done!
It is truly a gift from a master animal trainer. The effect is really great!
He glanced at the [Chen Hun Xiang] in his hand.
In just a few dozen seconds, another small section was burned.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing's heart suddenly tightened.
"Holy guy, this thing burns up so fast!"
"No, I have to speed up. The remaining agarwood must be kept by the contracted Griffin King."
Thinking of this, he began to quickly take out more pet contract scrolls, and then clicked to use them one after another.
【Contract failed...】
【Contract failed...】
【bite! Congratulations, the contract is successful! 】
【bite! Congratulations, the contract is successful! 】
…
After seven or eight consecutive system prompts, Cao Xing consumed a total of 11 pet contracts.
Finally, all four boss-level griffins became his pets.
At this moment, Cao Xing was overjoyed.
"Haha! I have tamed such stubborn creatures. Now, I have four flying units!"
"So comfortable..."
After feeling overjoyed, he immediately took a look at the burning object in his hand.
[Agarwood: Special Props]
[Remaining burning time: 19 minutes and 24 seconds...]
…
Seeing the above prompt, Cao Xing extinguished it immediately.
Then he put it in his backpack as a treasure.
at the same time.
The four griffons looked at him in shock after establishing a pet contract with Cao Xing. His pupils were filled with disbelief.
Because they feel that they no longer hate this human being!
I even felt a sense of closeness to this human being.
This was something they had never imagined before.
This is what pet contracts are for.
The owner can decide the life or death of the pet with a single thought, and will also forcibly increase the favorability level.
That's why these griffins feel close to him.
Cao Xing took a glance and found that the loyalty of these griffins was not high, and they were only in their early 50s.
But even lower than loyalty is satiety.
[Satiety: 15 (extremely hungry, all attributes reduced by 70%)]
(Note: If the pet's satiety drops below 10, all attributes will be reduced by 90%, and it will die in a short time)
…
Cao Xing frowned slightly.
This is the first time he has encountered this kind of situation. It turns out that too little satiety can lead to such a negative state.
After all, since entering this world, he has never let his pets or subordinates starve.
Cao Xing thought: "It seems that we have to let them regain some satiety first."
"Otherwise, these griffins will really starve to death soon."
So, he looked at the wild boar warrior next to him and said, "Bring the food and feed it to these griffins."
The wild boar warrior next to him felt a little puzzled, but he quickly picked up an iron bucket next to him.
The iron barrel contained a large amount of fresh flesh and blood.
One of the wild boar warriors reached out and fished it out, took out a piece of bright red flesh and put it to the griffin's mouth.
However, when faced with the meat that was handed to their mouths, these griffins still had a look of contempt in their eyes, with no thought of eating at all.
The wild boar warriors looked at Cao Xing, wondering: "Lord, look..."
Cao Xing nodded, then looked at the gryphon and said.
"Open your mouth and eat."
These four simple words are like some kind of mandatory instruction.
All four griffins opened their mouths.
The wild boar warriors were amazed, and then threw the meat in their hands into their mouths.
"Gudu...Gudu..."
The griffons swallowed all the meat in their mouths.
[Your pet: The Stormy Gryphon ate fresh horse meat, and its satiety level +1]
【Your pet...】
…
Several system prompts for increased satiety appear in succession.
The soldiers looked at the griffins eating in surprise.
Cao Xing said: "Continue."
They immediately followed suit, taking out the meat from the bucket and feeding it to the griffin.
With a whole bucket of fresh flesh and blood, they were all fed.
These four griffons seemed to have just eaten some appetizers, looking like they were still unsatisfied.
Cao Xing glanced at their panels.
[Satiety: 31 (hungry, all attributes reduced by 50%)]
…
When the satiety reaches about 50, it is in a normal state, and there will be no negative state of decreased attributes on the body.
By 60, you're basically in good shape.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing continued: "Go to the canteen and bring some fresh flesh and blood."
"Yes!"
Several wild boar warriors quickly started taking action.
After a while, each of them came over carrying a bucket of thawed meat.
And put all the meat in front of the griffin.
The buckets of bright red flesh exuded the smell of blood, attracting the attention of these griffins.
Casually, they began to devour the animal meat with big mouthfuls.
As they eat, their satiety levels continue to increase.
However, the appetite of these griffins was indeed beyond Cao Xing's imagination.
After continuously feeding nearly 120 kilograms of fresh meat, their satiety level increased to about 55.
Cao Xing was a little surprised by their appetite.
At the same time, he was calculating in his mind.
"Calculated this way, a griffon needs to eat at least twenty or thirty kilograms of meat a day."
"If it is a group of griffins, there may be dozens of griffins, not to mention too many."
"If I could really tame all these griffins, I would have to prepare thousands of kilograms of meat for them to eat every day."
After getting this number, Cao Xing's mouth twitched.
"This is also a big burden..."
Cao Xing shook his head helplessly.
"Now, the population in my territory is increasing, and the daily food consumption is also a terrifying figure."
"Although I obtained nearly one million kilograms of grain last time."
"But these grains will be used to help the soldiers break through, and they still won't be able to hold on for long..."
"It seems that we have to find ways to open up more channels for food sources, and it is best to achieve self-sufficiency."
But for now, Cao Xing doesn't need to worry about food.
After all, he now had a baron in his hands.
The Baron's family has a big business, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to find a way to raise a million kilograms of grain for himself and deliver it to his territory.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Now Fitz Walker is almost ready to become his own cash machine.
When he continues to grow to a certain height, he can bring greater benefits to Cao Xing.
After feeding several barrels of fresh flesh and blood, the satiety of these griffins finally reached above 60, and there was no longer the negative effect of reduced attributes.
Their condition also improved a lot, and they gradually stood up from the cage one by one.
At the same time, four system prompts appeared,
[You fed the Storm Gryphon lv54, your loyalty has been improved, current loyalty: 61]
[You fed the Storm Gryphon lv48, your loyalty has been improved, current loyalty: 60]
【You...】
…
Cao Xing looked around and found that although these griffins had escaped the crisis of starvation.
But the injuries on his body still haven't started to heal on their own.
For other survivors, it's a bit troublesome. After all, treating these pets is also a big problem.
But it is much more convenient for Cao Xing, just throw a few healing skills in there.
With the blessing of [Eternal Power], the blood volume of these griffins can quickly return to full value.
As Cao Xing's staff gradually lifted.
One by one, the ice healing spells fell.
+3728
+3728
+3728
…
The recovery numbers kept popping up on the heads of the four griffons, and their health points were also increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Feeling the vitality constantly emerging from their bodies, they seemed very happy. They raised their heads and closed their eyes comfortably.
[Because you rescued the pet: Stormy Gryphon lv54, your loyalty has been improved, current loyalty: 68]
【Because of your rescue...】
…
The loyalty of the four griffons increased again, reaching above 65 for all.
Seeing this, Cao Xing simply took out 20 [Special Pet Rations (Green)] from his backpack.
Each of the Storm Gryphons was fed 5 grains.
Increase their loyalty to above 70.
When the four Storm Griffins tasted the first pet ration, they were stunned on the spot.
It was as if it was the first time to eat such a delicious thing.
Everyone's eyes widened with shock!
It made a gentle "chirp" sound from its mouth and seemed to be very happy.
Then he looked at Cao Xing longingly, hoping to taste a few more.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing was not stingy.
He took out 12 more purple-quality pet rations from his backpack and fed them all.
Purple quality rations are much more powerful and more delicious.
One piece can increase loyalty by 10 points.
With constant feeding.
The four griffons became more and more excited. They held their heads high and stared at the rations in Cao Xing's hand.
Loyalty is also rising, reaching full value in the blink of an eye.
[You have fed a pet: Gale Gryphon lv54, loyalty has been improved, current loyalty: 100]
【You fed the pet...】
…
After four consecutive system prompts.
The loyalty of all griffins has been increased to 100, reaching the full value.
And inside the cage, the four unruly creatures were looking at Cao Xing, but they were not as arrogant and unruly as before.
Each one became docile and respectful, as if they were loyal guards waiting for their master's orders.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing said: "Okay, open the griffin cage."
The wild boar warrior next to him seemed a little hesitant after hearing this.
After all, the sight of these griffins going crazy is still vivid in their minds.
But because it was the lord's order, they followed it without hesitation.
"Crack..."
The sound of chains being dragged was heard.
When the four griffon cages are fully opened.
The Gale Griffins, who had been trapped for so many days, were finally free, and they were waving their wings excitedly.
"Huh-huh-"
The strong wind almost blew away all the nearby soldiers.
The wild boar warriors struck the ground with their long swords, trying their best to stabilize their bodies.
Not only that, the strong wind caused by the waving wings of these griffins even blew away the floor that was finally laid.
The soldiers exclaimed.
"These griffins are too strong!"
"If this continues, this area will be destroyed by them!"
Cao Xing frowned slightly and said, "Okay, calm down."
Upon hearing the order, the four griffons immediately stopped moving, as if they had pressed the pause button, and stood obediently in place one by one.
Cao Xing waved, "Come here, everyone."
The four griffons simultaneously moved their powerful limbs and approached Cao Xing step by step.
When they came to their master's side, they all bowed down respectfully.
It’s simply a matter of being as obedient as possible.
This scene surprised the surrounding wild boar warriors.
"Beast God! These ferocious guys actually obey the lord like this. It's incredible!"
"Yes, obviously not long ago, these gryphons were trying to break out of their cages and attack us!"
Cao Xing smiled.
"You don't need to take care of these griffins anymore. Now go outside and inspect the territory."
"As you command, my miraculous lord!"
The wild boar warriors retreated with surprise in their eyes.
Cao Xing, on the other hand, brought four griffons to the agricultural area of the territory.
He ordered Duan to quickly build several [intermediate cowsheds] to serve as the griffins' accommodation at night.
