Chapter 236 The fourth-level monster, the Snake of Cold Pond!
Wang Lishan took out a map.
After drawing circles on the map, he said:
“It will take at least a year to open up a safe zone with a radius of hundreds of miles.”
Lin Chen frowned slightly after hearing this and said:
"Why did it take so long? We have advanced at least thirty miles today..."
Wang Lishan smiled and said:
"This is just the preliminary land reclamation. The work of a thousand of us The elite are in the lead."
"We need to explore the situation within a hundred miles and eliminate all the monsters found..."
"But this alone is not enough!"
"We still need to clean up potential monsters, open up terrain, and build high city walls... This series of processes will take at least half a year."
"Of course, our thousands-man troops cannot complete these tasks alone. "
"The subsequent land reclamation will take at least 30,000 people... and it will take a year to complete it."
Lin Chen ate after hearing this. Startled.
I suddenly remembered a special profession I had seen in Kyoto.
Pioneer!
It means following the outgoing troops to open up wasteland and build a new safe zone.
The pioneers do not have high requirements for strength, and all warriors and above can participate.
But there is a certain danger. There have been reports of deaths of pioneers.
After all, this wilderness is not as good as Kyoto. Even if the monsters are cleared by the army, some unlucky pioneers will still be attacked and killed by monsters.
Moreover, the probability is not low.
However, the wages of pioneers are extremely high, and even if they die, they will receive a large pension.
Many warriors who come from poor families and want to go out for a try will choose to open up wasteland outside the safe zone.
According to legend, hundreds of years ago, Kyoto’s area was only half of what it is today, and its population was less than 300 million.
For hundreds of years, after countless pioneers’ expansion and exploration, Kyoto became what it is today.
This is how the Beijing metropolitan area now has a population of nearly one billion.
However, the pioneers have not appeared for decades.
The deeper you go into the wilderness, the more difficult it becomes to open up wasteland.
But in the past two decades, this situation has changed.
The outpouring of resources for cultivating immortals has prompted Daxia to further develop the wilderness.
In particular, a large amount of land is required to grow elixirs.
So in the past twenty years, we have advanced more than three hundred miles to the north.
Five new immortal cities and strongholds were built to serve as the realm of immortality cultivation in Daxia.
And this time, we have to push a hundred miles north in one breath...
At this time, Wang Lishan said again:
"It has never been done before to open up hundreds of miles of land to the north at once..."
"In the past, being able to snatch a few miles of land from the hands of monsters was considered a great success."
“Because there are dangers everywhere in the wilderness, even if It is the most advanced exploration instrument, and it is impossible to completely detect the monsters lurking in the wilderness..."
After a pause, Wang Lishan grinned and said:
"However, the situation is different now. ”
"Divine consciousness makes it easier to explore the wilderness and eliminate monsters..."
"The martial arts realm of the thousands of troops sent this time are all above the Great Martial Master. Their cultivation is also above the foundation building stage... …”
“They are the elite of Daxia and can ensure the success of land reclamation.”
Lin Chen nodded after hearing this.
Indeed, even with martial arts technology, it is difficult to detect the monsters lurking dozens of feet deep underground.
But consciousness can.
In a sense, spiritual consciousness is more advanced than martial arts technology.
"In addition...we have also prepared three thousand Tulinggen monks!"
"We are planning to build a tower ten feet high and one foot wide within one year... The city wall has a total length of three hundred miles."
"When the city wall is built and the city guards are sent to guard it day and night, this safe zone will be opened up!"
"Tsk, tsk, this was something I couldn't even imagine in the past... A three-hundred-mile city wall would require at least tens of thousands of people and a large team to work day and night for several years..."
"But Tu Linggen The monks and the equipment are extremely efficient."
Wang Lishan said a lot and patted Lin Chen on the shoulder.
The expression on his face clearly means, child... Times have changed!
……
The night is quiet.
That night, the warrior troops were attacked by no less than ten waves of monsters.
Lin Chen didn’t know where these monsters came from, they seemed to be everywhere.
There are first-order monsters, and even third-order monsters.
Just stayed in the wilderness for three days.
Lin Chen and others cleared two mountains, a jungle, and a swamp.
No fewer than ten third-level monsters died in Lin Chen’s hands.
The number of monsters annihilated by the martial arts troops was more than thousands.
It is unimaginable that there are so many monsters within just a hundred miles.
Originally, Lin Chen thought that with such a large-scale purge, the monsters would be almost wiped out.
Until this day, Wang Lishan received a piece of information, and then he said with joy:
"The monster overlord in this area has been found."
The monster overlord...
Lin Chen pursed his lips, showing confusion.
At this time, Wang Lishan explained:
"According to thousands of years of experience, in the wilderness...every distance, there will be a powerful monster."
"This distance may be a hundred or hundreds of miles. And This monster overlord is the absolute ruler of this area, and the monsters within a hundred miles radius They all surrendered to him."
"And the monster overlord is naturally extremely strong..."
"Fourth-level monsters are the most basic to encounter occasionally! It’s not impossible to become the Demon King..."
Speaking of this, Wang Lishan smiled.
"We are lucky. The monster overlord in this area is a fourth-level monster."
"Lin Chen, do you want to try it?"
After hearing this, Lin Chen I was quite moved in my heart.
The fourth-order monster is the monster equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage. For Lin Chen, there are certain challenges.
But the threat is not great. With Max, the Martial Emperor, standing by, Lin Chen's life risk can be minimized...
Therefore, this is an excellent opportunity to sharpen his skills.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen was eager to try:
"Where is that fourth-level monster now?"
Wang Lishan stood up after hearing this, waved his hand and said ：
"Let's go, I'll take you there."
So, Lin Chen and others set off again, following Wang Lishan.
We ran all the way to the west for a full thirty miles.
A moment later, Lin Chen saw a heavily armed troop.
"Chief!" The leading Jindan monk gave a military salute.
Then he said: "According to the exploration of the Enlightenment Puppet, the fourth-level monster overlord is in a pool two miles away."
"According to the video information transmitted before the puppet was destroyed, it should be A snake-like monster..."
After hearing this, Lin Chen was thoughtful, and his consciousness moved toward the northwest.
Soon, he discovered a cold pool two miles away.
"The fourth-level monster...is hiding in this pool?"
Lin Chen almost thought he had made a mistake.
Wang Lishan said at this time:
"Okay, thank you for your hard work... you will just wait here."
As he said that, Wang Lishan looked towards Lin Dust and Max waved.
Involving fourth-level monsters, these martial spirit or golden elixir stage soldiers are no longer suitable to directly participate in the battle.
In addition to Lin Chen and the other three, there were also more than a dozen martial arts puppets who went to protect the formation.
The three of them ran towards the cold pool...
After a few breaths, Lin Chen stood on a boulder and looked at the cold pool dozens of feet away.
This Hantan is not large.
It is only about ten feet in diameter, and it is said that the pond is across it...it looks like a small pond.
"Fourth-level monsters are often huge...really hiding in this small pool?"
Lin Chen frowned slightly, a little unbelievable.
"Forget it, let's take a look first."
Lin Chen's consciousness was released like a tide, and he quickly dived into the deep pool.
One foot, ten feet, one hundred feet, three hundred feet...
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows, feeling a little incredible.
This cold pool with a radius of ten feet is actually so deep.
Seeing that Lin Chen's consciousness had penetrated a thousand meters deep, there was still no trace of the monster.
He couldn't help but said with some doubts:
"Uncle Wang, is that monster really in this cold pool?"
Wang Lishan scratched his head and said:
"There should be no mistake. I sent three martial arts puppets in the middle stage of the Golden Core... and they all died. Only a black shadow was photographed."
"The life energy and blood of the monster shown on the instrument is also around the level of King Wu..."
After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded, and continued to penetrate deeper with his spiritual consciousness.
One thousand meters, two thousand meters, three thousand meters...
After exploring to a depth of more than 3,000 meters, Lin Chen felt that the scene underground had changed significantly.
Hantan, which was originally very narrow, suddenly became vast.
“This is...a lake?”
“An underground dark lake?”
Lin Chen blinked and quickly realized something.
So he said:
"Uncle Wang, the fourth-order monster should be underground...but the cold pool is too deep. There is a large dark lake below."
"Let's We have to find a way...to get that fourth-level monster out."
Wang Lishan nodded after hearing this, his consciousness could barely sense the existence of the underground lake.
But it was not as clear as Lin Chen felt.
At this time, Max on the side said:
"Use nuclear weapons! Explode under the ground...force the fourth-order monster out."
"The fourth-order monster is there. The strength in the dark lake must be very strong, he must be dragged out and beaten!"
After hearing this, Lin Chen and Wang Lishan looked at each other and agreed with the idea.
Soon, two martial arts puppets sneaked into the depths of the lake carrying nuclear bombs with an equivalent of 100,000 tons.
Dive all the way...
Lin Chen used his spiritual consciousness to sense the position of the fourth-level monster while directing the martial arts puppet to dive.
Suddenly, a pair of green eyes appeared on the shared screen of the instrument.
“Level 4 monster!”
Wang Lishan on the side detonated the nuclear weapon without thinking!
After a breath, a raging wave appeared on the deep pool in front of him.
The ground shook slightly, but soon there was no movement.
In an underground lake more than three thousand meters deep, the power of a nuclear bomb can hardly be transmitted to the ground.
"How is it..." Wang Lishan was about to ask.
Lin Chen’s expression changed slightly.
"He's coming out soon!"
Lin Chen sensed that a huge black shadow was quickly emerging from the underground dark lake.
About a few breaths later, a huge, terrifying head appeared on the cold pool.
After seeing the appearance of this monster clearly, Lin Chen was stunned for a moment.
“Is this...is this thing really a snake?”
