At noon, the sun is high in the sky.
The hot sunshine is scorching the earth. In early October, the nights have become slightly cooler, but the temperature during the day is already overwhelming.
However, the swamp has sufficient water vapor and lush plants. The air is not as hot as the outside. The breeze makes it feel quite cool.
After Lear had lunch, he was going to the fish pond to feed the fish.
Under the care of Granny Green Grass, the fishtail grass grows extremely fast due to the characteristics of the Horn of Plenty.
Nowadays, there is no need to be careful when feeding fish.
With sufficient food, the dragon blood red fish has become more and more beautiful. Its whole body is so red that it shines brightly. It feels like chicken blood jade when swimming underwater.
The two dragon whiskers floating in the water are even more ornamental.
Those raised in the edge area for him to watch are the best among them, almost every one is over 1.5 meters tall.
Looking at it, the feeling is nothing but pleasing to the eye.
As soon as Lear sat down, he saw the staff of the fish farm running over in a hurry.
He said in a rushed tone.
"Sir, the mud bug you asked us to pay attention to has woken up!"
Mudworm? !
Li suddenly became interested.
This was the gift given to him by Philena's Flower of the North, the ancient life that the other party obtained from the ruins.
When he got it, the source had been exhausted and lifeless.
Later, I learned through intelligence that the other party had to be fed mud to recover.
He placed it near the fish pond and ordered someone to take good care of it.
However, a mud bug the size of a thumb is too small, and it will be difficult for it to recover in a short while.
As the strength of the territory increased, the army in hand gradually became abundant. This one has been eating mud bugs and lacks a sense of presence, so I won't pay so much attention to it later.
After hearing the news at this time, I was still looking forward to it.
After all, it was a treasure given to him by the Princess of Luolan City.
Get up immediately and follow the other person into the fish pond.
Stepping on the dirt-filled field ridge, we walked directly through it and came to the other side of the fish pond.
At the Delsa man's signal, Lear looked attentively.
Tens of meters away is a turbid muddy land, and the muddy water is constantly churning at this moment.
From time to time, a bubble pops up from Gululu, as if it is hiding some ferocious beast.
At this moment, the mud exploded violently, and a terrifying giant insect jumped up, flew into the air, and then slammed down into the mud, splashing mud and water all over the ground.
Mudworm!
Ancient life!
The creature turned its body violently, changed its direction and squirmed towards Lear.
Only now did he see the opponent's specific appearance. His whole body was grey-brown, and his skin was full of bark-like wrinkles. At a glance, he could feel its toughness as cowhide defense.
The open mouth is like petals, covered with sharp and tiny teeth.
When walking through the mud, it can easily dig through the mud with its mouth, and then spray it out from several holes on the back of its head.
Its body is more than ten meters long and its diameter reaches one and a half meters.
Just laying it horizontally on the ground can give people a strong sense of oppression.
The mudworm approaches Lear.
Chirp~
The mouth opened like petals, and the teeth as sharp as razors were exposed in front of the eyes.
A low growl like that of a young animal came from his throat.
Completely contrary to its ferocious appearance, the mudworm's voice is like the meowing of a small milk cat.
One can feel the emotions of attachment and trust.
Lear's expression became strange.
Good guy, is this the kind of sound you should be making?
I feel sorry for your appearance even if you don’t yell at me a few times!
Looking at it carefully, the other party's attributes quietly appeared before his eyes.
Mud Worm
Juvenile
Level: Level 10
potential:? ? ?
Racial talent: Swallowing mud, can swallow mud and grow.
? ? ?
The mudworm is still in its juvenile state, but its level is a bit surprising to Lear.
It actually reached level 10.
The larvae are all level 10, what level must the adults be? 1520?
However, considering the opponent's size of 10 meters, this level is reasonable.
Just looking at his appearance, no one would have imagined that two months ago, the other person was just a soft little insect the size of a thumb.
Lear's eyes were a little pleased. If he continues to grow like this, he will have a promising future.
"From now on, you will be responsible for guarding the fish pond and do not harm the residents of Weilu City."
The mental power escapes and transmits information directly in the mind.
Feel the joy coming from the other person.
Lear smiled. This guy was as smart as his voice, like a three or four year old child.
This is indeed a genuine underage insect
After playing with it for a while, the mudworm turned around and burrowed back into the muddy water, continuing to swallow the mud.
This little guy still needs to continue to grow.
At this point, the level has reached level 10. I wonder what level it can be upgraded to when it is 100 meters long?
Hunting giant dragons for food was a bit ridiculous before.
But now it seems that there is nothing unacceptable.
If it can really grow to a length of a hundred meters, it won't matter if it swallows a few giant dragons.
But it will obviously take a long time to reach this level.
After the mudworm re-entered the ground, Lear, who was in a good mood, returned to the fish pond, made a pot of hot tea, and drank it slowly.
In the early days, he asked the vine fairies to build a shaded resting area on the surrounding vines.
When the sun shines down, all the heat is absorbed by the vines. Can't feel the heat.
And the vines are still exuding coolness, like a cooling air conditioner.
Plus, the breeze blows from time to time, which is very refreshing.
Lear lamented every time, who said that fantasy worlds are worse than modern ones.
This biological refrigeration does not require any electricity, which is a lot of fun.
Lying on the wicker chair, I felt slightly sleepy and took a nap for a while.
He didn't know how long it had passed before a sound of footsteps woke him up.
He turned around and looked slightly confused.
Brin, who was covered in hot sweat and most of his clothes were wet, came excitedly.
The Fry leader said excitedly after saluting.
"Sir, the weapon has been forged!!"
Lear's sleepiness disappeared instantly, his eyes full of surprise.
"Forged?! Where is it?"
"Blacksmith, come with me."
Lear didn't care about anything else. He immediately got up and stepped forward, and came to the blacksmith shop with Brin.
Striding into the building in the middle, dozens of people were gathered together and discussing something heatedly. When they saw Lear arriving, they immediately left a passage excitedly.
"Sir, I say hello to you."
"Good day, my lord"
Lear nodded slightly, walked through the crowd with a smile, and came to the central area.
At this moment, a large stone bucket was placed next to the burning stove.
It was filled with black liquid, and a knife handle was exposed from it, leaning against the edge of the stone barrel.
If you get a little closer, you can smell the smell of burnt grease.
"Sir, the weapon has been tempered."
Brin stretched out his hand to gesture to the stone, his tone a little excited.
"This sword is called the Steel-Shattering Blade. It was forged by me combined with the forging skills of my ancestors."
"The potential of the ore is perfectly utilized. You will never be disappointed. Please check it out for yourself."
Lear also became interested immediately.
Stepping forward, he held the handle of the knife with his right hand and lifted it hard.
Lifted out the entire sword.
Drops of grease fell from the blade.
Next to him, Brin handed over a long clean cloth.
Lear reached out and took it, folded it in half, held the blade and wiped it down.
When all the grease was sucked up, he looked at it intently and his heart skipped a beat.
What a sharp blade!
The sword in his hand is more than two meters long.
It is palm-wide, and the blade has a somewhat curved arc.
The blood-colored mottled and dark lines on it are intertwined.
Full of mystery and sophistication.
At a glance, one can be sure that this sword is absolutely extraordinary!
The blade was dark, and under the illumination of the fire, no light was reflected, as if it had swallowed up all energy.
It feels heavy in your hand.
A rough estimate is that it weighs at least over a hundred kilograms!
A few sizes larger than those used by normal humans.
Apparently cast specifically for cold-blooded cavalry.
Concentrate on the perception, and its attribute panel appears in your mind.
Steel-breaking Blade
[Level]: 4 stars
[Characteristics]: The steel-breaking blade can condense its own strength and create a fierce sword energy, cutting off all enemies within 20 meters in front.
Armor-piercing blade, the sharpness is increased by 90%. It has an armor-piercing effect when attacking, and has an additional armor-piercing bonus against heavy armor.
Abyss Demonic Blade, the sword's strength is increased by 80%, and it comes with unique power. It can attack incorporeal beings such as ghosts.
Angry blood, after being stained with blood, will become sharper. Every time an enemy is killed in battle, the sharpness will increase by 10%, with a maximum limit of 200%.
[Evaluation]: Use extraordinary forging skills and high-grade ores to forge a sword that is sharp and sharp!
4-star sword! !
Fierce, so fierce! !
Lear’s eyes were full of color.
Although he had expected this for a long time, he did not expect that Brin would give him such a big surprise.
A 4-star baby! !
He didn't have many in his hands.
Now you can cast it directly! !
And looking at this, it’s completely possible to mass-produce it. Who can you tell me about this?
The Steel-Shattering Blade comes with 4 skills, each one more cruel than the last.
It has extremely destructive power.
This sword can completely make up for the weak attack of the cold-blooded cavalry.
If they can all be installed, the combat effectiveness of the army will definitely be greatly improved.
Facing enemies of the Dark Naga level, one charge can defeat them! !
Good equipment is your second life!
With the 3-star level Rock Heavy Armor and the 4-star level Steel-Shattering Blade, there will really be an invincible ace army in my hands.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!!"
"Brin, you did a great job, and every staff member in the blacksmith shop is great!!"
"Everyone in the blacksmith shop will be recorded as a collective 2-star meritorious service!!"
Lear did not hesitate to praise.
After hearing this, the crowd in the room started making noises, and everyone was extremely excited.
"Praise to you!"
"Sir, this is our glory!"
The merit system was promulgated many days ago, but some details have not been perfected and are still being discussed.
So until today, no one has actually received merit recognition.
As for the drama two days ago, The Birth of a Hero, the protagonist in it was awarded meritorious service several times for his bravery in battle.
The various privileges and treatment after obtaining meritorious service have been ingrained in the hearts of the people. At this moment, I couldn't help but explode the passion in my heart.
Lear smiled happily.
"During this period, we must forge the Steel-Shattering Blade as soon as possible and equip our army with it!"
"Do you have enough materials on hand?"
Brin's excited expression faded slightly and he hesitated.
"Sir, the Steel-Shattering Blade is made of the scarlet magic iron you gave me as the main body, with the abyss magic iron as an addition, and combined with ordinary iron ore."
"The scarlet magic iron occupies 70%, the abyss magic iron occupies 10%, and the remaining 20% is ordinary iron ore."
"The blacksmith shop still has a lot of ordinary ores and abyss magic iron in reserve, but the scarlet magic iron is slightly insufficient."
Lear nodded.
If so, that would be great.
Although Abyss Demonic Iron has been mined frantically in the ruins for nearly ten days, there are quite a lot of reserves.
But if casting is opened, it may not necessarily be able to meet the needs of the territory.
It's different with scarlet magic iron as the main body.
Although the amount of scarlet magic iron is not much now, it can continue to devour flesh and produce.
He has a mine that can continue to produce.
But in the blink of an eye, Lear felt a little brain-intensive again.
Flesh, flesh again.
With the expansion of the territory, not only the wild monsters in the swamp were cleared away.
Many of the wild monsters around the swamp were also hunted down by the Scarlet Queen and her swarm.
The queen bee's harvest these days is obviously not as much as before.
According to this situation, it won't be long before the dozens or hundreds of kilometers around the swamp will become an area free of wild monsters.
The territory's desire for flesh and blood is too strong.
Almost every aspect is inseparable.
Fortunately, the growth efficiency of the three-tailed pigs is sufficient. As long as they support it for another half a year and the size of the group increases, this problem can be alleviated.
"I will solve this problem, you just cast it!"
Brin also relaxed after hearing this.
"yes!"
"What is the current production rate? How long will it take to arm all the Cold-blooded Cavalry?"
"Although the steel-breaking blade is higher in level, its forging difficulty is much lower than that of rock heavy armor."
The weight of a complete set of armor is exaggerated, and only three or five people can lift it.
Moreover, different parts of armor are forged, and the craftsmanship is also different. Among all equipment, armor is the most difficult to produce.
Although weapon forging also requires a lot of craftsmanship, it is far less cumbersome than armor.
After being tempered by Panshi's heavy armor, the blacksmith shop now has a group of skilled workers, who can mount their horses directly when there is a task.
It’s much better than starting from scratch.
After some calculation, Brin gave rough data.
"If we use all our current productivity, we can cast it in five days at most!"
Lear's eyes lit up.
Very happy.
The Fry people are worthy of being a race cursed by the God of Forging. If he were the God of Forging, he might not necessarily like them.
The ability of these guys to rely on their bloodline to pass on knowledge without limit is too perverted.
These are 700 4-star weapons! !
In the other person's mouth, it was so light and airy.
Very good, he likes this kind of illegal power.
"Okay! Speed up production and arm our army as soon as possible!"
He has a lot of power in his hands, but the cold-blooded cavalry is the sharpest sword at present, and its role is strategic.
If you get good equipment in your hands, you can immediately improve your combat effectiveness.
"As you wish!"
Brin also felt proud. He finally lived up to the lord's respect.
Finally, he forged high-level weapons for his army! !
He will continue to work hard and strive to enable all armies to wear and use 4-star or even 5-star level equipment in the future! !
The blacksmith shop, which was operated by thousands of people, began to operate at high speed again.
The ore is smelted into molten iron, the molten iron is smelted into crude iron, the crude iron is forged into refined iron, and the refined iron is forged into weapons after being smelted hundreds of times. All the bodies were taken out.
Arrive in front of the inconspicuous Scarlet Demonic Iron Mine that protrudes from the ground in the edge area.
This mineral vein, which was born from the original power of the ruins, is slowly devouring the energy of the scarlet carrion land, condensing the scarlet magic iron bit by bit.
But the speed is very slow. If it continues to condense like this, it may only take three to five years to form one or two fist-sized pieces of ore.
However, this is also consistent with the formation rules of mineral veins.
None of the mineral veins outside were formed after tens of millions of years of geological activity.
But now, he doesn't need to follow these rules of time.
Thoughts moved slightly.
Thousands of wild monster corpses were piled up around the scarlet magic iron ore veins.
The ground squirmed, as if it opened its mouth and began to devour the corpse.
Directly convert it into flesh and blood energy.
The rich flesh and blood was absorbed by the scarlet magic iron ore.
Under the water of a large amount of flesh and blood, the speed of ore condensation is increasing visibly to the naked eye.
It's like it's been sped up a thousand times.
After the five to six thousand corpses were consumed, the veins produced two to three hundred pieces of ore the size of heads.
Scarlet red, like condensed blood, with an evil aura that makes people tremble.
A big lump bulged on the ground.
Lear's eyes moved slightly.
In the barren tomb behind, ghosts appeared one after another. These undead beings flew over and started digging with scythes.
It didn't take long for all the ore to be mined.
Then the swarm flew down from the sky, took the ore in their hands, and flew straight to the city of Weilu.
The busy crowd in the blacksmith shop suddenly heard something. When they looked up, a large number of wasps appeared in their eyes.
They swooped down carrying the ore, placed it in the backyard, piled it together, and then quickly left.
The crowd was amazed.
Five to six thousand corpses, two to three hundred pieces of ore were obtained. This is quite a lot of data.
After all, it is a 4-star ore.
But it is obviously not enough to meet the needs of casting.
Lear frowned.
He didn't hesitate to sense the massive amount of flesh and blood energy stored deep in the earth.
Mobilize part of it and infuse it into the veins.
Under the infusion of majestic energy, the mineral veins began to produce ore at a faster rate like a hen laying eggs.
Lear didn't stop until he had gathered 5,000 pieces.
A small hill has appeared in front of us.
It fits perfectly with the surrounding flesh and blood earth, and there is nothing strange about it.
If you feel it carefully, you can feel the unique energy contained in it.
But the price is that the flesh and blood energy stored in the Scarlet Carrion Land has dropped again.
Although it is still as turbulent as a lake, it is still much less than the previous full capacity.
Lear felt a little emotional.
Fortunately, those Sinking Demons gave him a good milking, otherwise this day would have been even more miserable.
Rich and poor.
Everything is getting better, but everything seems to be lacking. This is how Lear feels now.
Shaking his head, without thinking too much, he let the swarm deliver the ore to the blacksmith shop.
With this 5,000 yuan, it is expected to be about the same.
If it’s not enough, it’s not too late to make up some more.
When you are busy, time passes quickly.
Soon the sun had sunk into the earth and the moon was high in the sky.
Under the twinkling stars in the sky, Weilu City still maintains a fiery work rhythm.
After finishing their work outside during the day, many residents spontaneously came to the blacksmith shop to ask if they needed help.
Brin accepted everyone who came and recruited a group of temporary workers to start doing some basic work.
The blacksmith shop became even busier.
Lear looked at the brightly lit territory, feeling very satisfied.
This feeling of starting from scratch and building your own industry bit by bit gives people a sense of accomplishment.
He waited until late at night and early in the morning, but he still hadn't fallen asleep. Watching the time ticking by, his inner emotions began to rise.
Tonight is October 9th, and in the early morning there will be a new round of intelligence updates.
It would be fine if that were the case, but the difference is that August 20th is the 10th information refresh.
And today, it happens to be a new round. The 10th information refresh.
Every 10 times the intelligence is refreshed, a 4-star intelligence will inevitably be refreshed! !
With the rapid expansion of his territory, ordinary 1-star intelligence is no longer of much value to him.
Even 2-star intelligence, most of it is dispensable. Only intelligence with 3 stars and above has obvious value. Intelligence with 4 stars and above is almost all strategic level.
But so far, he has not triggered 4-star intelligence a few times.
And this time, the information will definitely be refreshed to 4 stars or above, which will directly satisfy his expectations.
If you open a guarantee, you can also get a top-notch guarantee!
When the hands passed 12 o'clock, the time quietly jumped to the 10th.
[The intelligence system has been cooled down and the intelligence can be refreshed. Do you want to refresh it? 】
Sure!
In Lear's heightened mood, the intelligence system began to refresh a new round of intelligence.
[1. The Keld Rat Man has killed the old red dragon in the Dark Mountains. The Rat Man Queen has swallowed the blood of the red dragon, and her strength has been greatly improved. Moreover, it has learned about the surface passage. The Rat Man's eyes are on it. Look towards the surface. (2 stars)]
[2. The power within the mudworm has been revived. 30 kilometers southwest of the mud swamp, there is a unique magic plant: the sun fruit. After swallowing it, it can activate the blood in the body, greatly increase the strength, and accelerate growth. (2 stars)]
[3. A dark castle appeared 300 kilometers away from the mud swamp half a month ago. The owner of the dark castle is a level 17 Dracolich, who is dangerous and mysterious. He is hunting everywhere and expanding his territory. (3 stars)]
[4. The Night Elf-Clan of Anthem has discovered a passage to the surface and is gathering an army of a thousand people. In a week, it will set foot in the wilderness and prepare to establish a Night Elf base on the surface for plunder. Surface wealth. (3 stars)]
[5. The Lord of Stink and Flies obtained an ancient god’s treasure. After imprisoning his enemy, the Demon Archduke, the Duke of Blood, he took control of his plane. He is accumulating strength to prepare for the attack on Weilu City. Launch a destructive attack, but before that, he can't bear it anymore and will use the ancient curse to kill you in the early morning of October 17th. This is a curse from the power of the ancient god. Only the ancient god in Kalanis's body can kill you. Bloodline can resist it for you. (Orange, 5 stars)]
Lear's eyes quickly glanced at the last piece of 5-star information! !
It's beyond the guarantee.
However, this piece of information is not about the location of the treasure, but a danger warning.
A 5-star danger warning? ! !
Lear was a little surprised.
This is the highest level of early warning intelligence we have faced so far.
What kind of treasure did this demigod obtain to be so powerful? !
Thinking of the previous scene where he snatched the opponent's eyes, he seemed to be able to feel the stench and the resentment of the Lord of Flies towards him coming through the endless void.
I was thinking about the pros and cons.
This is definitely a huge crisis. That guy is a demigod, not a cat or a dog.
As for the 5-star level intelligence warning, it is impossible for Kalanis to resist it so easily.
What if this demigod brought an army and pressed directly against him? ! (End of chapter)
