Chapter 298 Return to the territory, magical vines (5800)
Old Mel exclaimed: "You can even catch so many of these sacred creatures. You are really a lord favored by the goddess of luck!"
As members of Cao Xing's territory, they all know how valuable the Yuncai Yak is.
In addition, they have established a long-term cooperative relationship with the Black Lion Chamber of Commerce, which is equivalent to a fixed source of income every month.
It can be said that Cao Xing will do nothing next and rely on these yaks and bare-feathered chickens to make a fortune.
Elisa, who was sitting on Volibear's back, jumped down and said proudly: "Father, I discovered these yaks!
"And those bare-feathered chickens were also discovered by me!"
“Isn’t Elisa great?”
Hearing this, Old Mel was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "So you go out these days to look for cattle?"
"Yes, yes!"
Old Mel looked at Cao Xing and then at Elisa. He didn't blame the little girl.
Instead, he said with emotion: "I have indeed grown up..."
Cao Xing said: "Mr. Meier, it's up to you to take care of these cattle."
"With so many yaks and bare-feathered chickens suddenly added, your workload will increase a lot. If you are too busy, please tell me and I will send someone to help you."
After hearing this, Old Mel shook his head with a smile and said, "No trouble, dear lord."
"I have never seen so many cloud-colored yaks and light-feathered chickens in my life. You are really too powerful..."
Cao Xing smiled and said, "It's nothing. There will be more and more of these magical creatures in our territory in the future."
"Four Strong, lead the men to bring the cattle into our cowshed."
"There are also these bare-feathered chickens, which are also kept in a separate cowshed. Be careful not to let them escape. These chickens are very vicious."
"Bron, Assam, go over and help."
After the three of them heard this, their bodies straightened up immediately.
"As you command, Lord Lord!"
The next moment, the four heroes led the five heroes to the eight heroes, led the cattle and Dabai, and walked towards the cowshed.
Assam and Bronn followed on both sides.
After a while, Cao Xing asked people to bring Frost Moose and Dabai to their resting place.
Tong Chuchu's mecha also entered the machinery factory.
After all these powerful combat forces were arranged, Cao Xing said: "Cao Yi, please report on the progress of today's work."
The leader Cao Yi took a step forward and said respectfully: "Lord, according to your instructions, today we manufactured two more transport vehicles in the machinery factory, and also took the time to build a logging robot."
"And have already started working in the nearby grove."
"This kind of robot is so efficient at harvesting wood. Their electric saw can cut down a large tree in a few seconds."
“You can even cut the wood in the wild and transport it directly back to the territory.”
After hearing this, Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "In the future, Locke Rich will be in charge of the machinery factory. If you need to build any machinery, just inform him directly!"
"Locke, come out."
Hearing Cao Xing calling him, the goblin hiding behind the Earth Dragon mecha came out.
Facing everyone's gaze, the goblin seemed a little embarrassed.
After the leader Cao Yi looked at the other party, he said politely: "Hello, Mr. Locke."
He held out his right hand.
The goblin craftsman seemed a little embarrassed, but shook his hand anyway.
The leader Cao Yi smiled and said: "Mr. Locke, you will be our companion from now on."
"You will serve our lord like other goblins."
Hearing this, Goblin Locke also came back to his senses.
He looked at Cao Xing and asked the question he wanted to know most.
"Lord, I want to know why there are so many goblin laborers in our territory."
"We, the goblins, generally live in the southern continent, and there are very few goblins who serve human lords..."
Cao Xing replied: "Don't get me wrong, these goblin laborers were not captured by us, but I won them through formal channels."
"Moreover, they live very well in our territory."
Hearing this, the goblins also replied: "Master goblin, we were indeed bought by the lord normally."
"The lord has been very kind to us, providing us with a warm shelter and ensuring our safety while working."
"There's even fresh bread and broth every day, which is so much better than our life in the Clan!"
"Yes, yes, you see, I have only been in this territory for a few days, and I have already gained a lot of weight."
The goblins were chattering away.
Locke Ridge was filled with surprise when he heard these goblins praising this territory.
And he could tell that these goblins were not saying flattering words just because the lord was here.
Because these goblins all have happy expressions on their faces.
As a member of the goblin clan, Locke Rich knew better than them how harsh the environment in which goblins usually lived was.
Except for some goblins like them who have integrated into civilized society.
Most goblins live a relatively primitive life.
Their residence is in dark and humid underground or caves. Because they cannot see the sun for a long time, their life span is generally short.
As the lowest level of goblins, the life of goblin drudges is even more difficult.
They stay in the mine almost 24 hours a day, eating, drinking and urinating in the mine.
Only occasionally are they given a day off to visit their wives and children.
The unearthed gems will also be taken away by the overseer.
And those goblins who take away their gems will use these gems to trade with merchants on the surface in exchange for some meager supplies to continue the survival of the group.
However, as the saying goes, there is no business without treachery.
Every time these merchants purchase goblin gems, they will lower the price to an extremely low level and deduct their supplies.
For these merchants, they control the source of sales, and those goblins can only trade with them, instead of letting them exploit them?
The goblins naturally understood this, so some of the goblins boldly walked out of the underground.
And sell the gems yourself so as not to be exploited by those merchants.
During this period, we naturally experienced many difficulties.
If we were to describe the history of goblin development in detail, we could not finish it in three days and three nights.
But in the end, they overcame these difficulties.
Then there was the character of the Goblin Merchant.
As the number of goblin merchants increased, they established their own chamber of commerce.
The overall living standards of the ethnic group have improved.
However, only the living standards of the middle and upper classes of goblins have improved.
Like the hard workers at the bottom, there is still no change.
They still have to stay in the dark underground 24 hours a day, dedicating themselves to the development of the entire group.
So, in this territory.
This lord not only provides shelter to these goblin drudges, but also provides them with abundant food. This is simply an incredible thing!
Even the most prosperous goblin tribe cannot give these hard workers such treatment.
At this moment, he bowed respectfully to Cao Xing.
"You are truly a kind lord. May the God of the Crypt bless you..."
"Locke Ridge, I will work for you wholeheartedly from now on."
[Because of your words and deeds, you have impressed the subject: Locke Ridge. The loyalty of the other party has been improved. Current loyalty: 71]
…
Cao Xing had a smile on his face, and then nodded slightly.
"It's okay, you should go and rest now."
"Cao Yi, you take him to arrange a place to live first, and then take him to the machinery factory tomorrow to familiarize himself with the environment."
"As you command, my merciful lord."
After saying that, Cao Yi took Locke Rich to arrange a place to live.
At this time, Du An came over and reported: "Lord, according to your instructions, we will start upgrading the city wall after building the cowshed today."
"Currently, more than 70% of the city walls have been upgraded to frost walls. It is expected that all upgrades will be completed tomorrow."
"In addition, we have upgraded the melting pot to level 17, and your lord's mansion has also been upgraded to level 7..."
Du An's series of reports also made Cao Xing feel happy again.
"Well done, Duane, your efficiency is as high as ever."
Duan said respectfully: "It is our honor to be able to contribute to the territory."
Da Zhuang, who was next to him, also came over to report: "Lord, according to your instructions today, we drove the transport truck to the mine."
"However, it was occupied by a group of mole people again."
Hearing this, Cao Xing was also slightly startled.
Last time, the group of mole people were beaten away by them, but they didn't expect to come back so soon.
It seems that the resources in that mine are very attractive to them.
Da Zhuang continued: "But don't worry, Lord, our centaur warriors are all very powerful. They easily solved this group of mole people."
"That mine belongs to us now!"
"Besides that, the goblins are very efficient at mining."
"Today they mined a large amount of iron ore, copper ore, and a small amount of magic crystal ore, almost filling three transport trucks!"
“The mining volume in one day is even comparable to the efficiency of the past four or five days!”
"We have brought all the ore back and are now sorting it at the ore processing plant."
After hearing this, Cao Xing felt happy in his heart.
This is the benefit of transport vehicles.
With the efforts of more than a hundred goblin workers, he can obtain a large amount of ore resources every day.
These resources are the basis for the territory to develop from small gathering areas to towns.
Cao Xing nodded slightly and praised: "Well done, Da Zhuang."
"The goblin peons are also working hard."
After being praised by their lords, everyone had happy smiles on their faces.
Then, Cao Xing continued: "Okay, you have worked hard during the day, now go back and rest."
"As you command, Lord Lord!"
The crowd gradually dispersed.
Soon, Cao Xing was the only one left here.
And he was also thinking about what he would do next.
"This time, I obtained a powerful divine warrior altar in that camp, which allows all my warrior professions to break through to the fourth level."
"In other words, those Ascalon warriors, wild boar warriors, and centaur warriors can all break through."
"However, this thing requires too many materials to break through. It costs 50,000 crowns alone, as well as 1,000 food, 100 mithril, and 10 high-level element crystals." Cao Xing looked at his territory and backpack. Reserves of supplies.
[Coins: 5.74 million]
【Food: 127321】
【Mithril: 3512】
[Advanced Element Crystal: 743]
…
"It's broken. All four supplies are seriously insufficient."
"The resources I have at my disposal can allow up to thirty warriors to break through to the fourth level."
"What is lacking the most is mithril and food."
Although in comparison, it can be said that the resources consumed by a third-level warrior to break through to the fourth level are very few.
After all, a [Heart of Advanced Power] is worth far more than this.
But Cao Xing had too many soldiers.
Altogether, there are at least more than 240 people.
If you want to break through them all, you will consume a huge amount of resources.
And he was also thinking about how to obtain a large amount of resources in a short period of time.
"The two materials Mithril and Advanced Element Crystal should be available in the trading market."
"But these two supplies, food and krona, can only be obtained from the indigenous people."
"After all, by now, everyone knows the importance of food, which can be said to be the foundation of a territory."
"And Krona can go to towns to buy food, equipment, and even various secret medicines, which is equivalent to a universal currency."
"So, it would be great if a caravan passes by me recently. I will sell a batch of resources produced in the territory and I will be able to collect almost all the resources."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have it. The worst I can do is go to Melind City and sell it myself. Anyway, Yaskin has almost established a foothold there."
Cao Xing quickly thought of future plans.
"Next, let's go see how many secret medicines and arrows Francesca and Harold have made."
"Then go to the market and do some trading in exchange for resources."
Just when Cao Xing was about to go to the blacksmith shop first
Suddenly he felt a strong vibration under his feet, which even made his body shake.
"Boom!"
"What's going on? Another earthquake?"
Cao Xing looked confused.
At the same time, a system prompt appears.
[Plants in your territory: Giant vines grow successfully...]
…
The moment he saw the system prompt, the confusion on Cao Xing's face disappeared and turned into a face full of surprise!
"This huge vine actually grew so quickly?"
"Haha, great!"
After all, this is the second orange-quality plant in his territory.
The Pale Tree gave him great help.
And the huge vines, which are also at the epic level, also have magical effects.
So, with excitement, Cao Xing quickly came to the back garden area of his territory.
The sister flowers of the Tree Spirit Tribe also sensed the movement of growth and have arrived here in advance.
After seeing Cao Xing coming over, the two women bowed slightly again.
Cao Xing asked: "You also sensed that vine growing?"
Juliette replied softly: "Yes, respected Lord, I feel that there is a magical atmosphere below our territory."
"Okay, then let's go there and take a look."
With two beauties from the Tree Spirit Tribe, they came to the side of the Pale Tree.
There are a lot of golden sunflowers growing here.
Even at night, there is a faint golden glow, illuminating the sacred place here.
At the other end of the back garden, a huge vine sprouted out of the ground.
Although only one head is exposed, one can still imagine how big this thing is.
Moreover, Cao Xing had a vague feeling that what was exposed from the ground was just the tip of the iceberg.
Its larger size is hidden underground.
When Cao Xing approached, a system prompt appeared.
[Should the giant vine be bound? After binding, you will have a spiritual connection with it and can control the vines underground. 】
…
Seeing the prompt, Cao Xing thought for a moment.
Then I just clicked ‘Yes’!
The next moment, he felt a spiritual connection with some kind of life beneath the soil.
Can clearly perceive the other party's existence and size.
When Cao Xing sensed the complete form of this vine, he was suddenly shocked.
"Good guy, so big?"
In his perception, this was an extremely huge giant vine. In terms of size, it was not inferior to the pale tree on the ground, or even bigger!
And, it’s more than just one vine!
A huge main vein takes root in the ground and branches out into thousands of vines.
Like tentacles, it moves underground.
If Cao Xing hadn't established a spiritual connection with this plant, he would never have imagined that there were such a bunch of behemoths under his territory.
It is the same guardian of the territory as the Pale Tree, but one guards the surface of the territory and the other guards the underground.
"It's really outrageous, and this huge vine looks like it's still in the growth stage and will continue to grow!"
"It is estimated that it can grow into a giant plant in the future."
The next step is to try the control method of this vine.
With a thought.
Cao Xing felt the soil under his feet begin to tremble.
Three or four vines were moving rapidly in the ground below like earth dragons.
And in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the location designated by Cao Xing, which was the area where golden sunflowers were planted.
"Try cutting."
At this moment, three or four vines surrounded the golden sunflower, cutting open the area where it took root and the nearby soil!
Those vines look fragile, but cutting through the cold frozen soil is easier than cutting tofu with a blade.
"Good guy, this is how the buildings on the ground are moved."
"Is it right to cut the soil directly under the building and then transport it?"
"interesting!"
Cao Xing controlled four vines to hold up the soil where the golden sunflowers were planted.
Then, he manipulated several other vines to cut out a pit of almost exactly the same size on the other side of the territory.
Transfer the golden sunflower and the soil directly to the big pit.
In the blink of an eye, the golden sunflowers grew in another place.
And as the vines below began to move the soil, the soil of this sunflower quickly merged with the surrounding soil, and there was no trace of splicing at all.
Cao Xing was delighted, "This method of transfer is really convenient!"
Next to them, Neve and Juliette looked at each other with strong surprise in their beautiful eyes.
"Sister...this vine is so magical..."
Juliette also nodded lightly, "Yes, it can actually cut through the soil, and can also move underground to help move plants and buildings..."
"Even in our sacred groves, we have never seen such a magical plant."
At this time, Cao Xing was still immersed in the joy of transferring Sunflower.
After understanding the operation method, Cao Xing decided to try moving a larger building.
So, he set his sights on an [intermediate elemental arrow tower] in the distance.
This arrow tower was the first to be built and is almost in the center of the territory.
With the expansion and continuous construction of the territory, it was also stuck among a bunch of buildings, which looked a bit awkward.
And because of the insufficient range, this arrow tower is basically useless at ordinary times.
Following his thoughts, at least a dozen vines moved underground, and soon came to the bottom of the Elemental Arrow Tower.
Then, like a blade, the tip of the vine began to cut the soil around the arrow tower.
"Shasha... Shasha..."
In the blink of an eye, a square area of almost 25 square meters was cut out.
Then, as a dozen vines under the ground began to move, the huge arrow tower, together with the soil below it, began to move.
He was lifted directly up.
"Crash!"
The sight of a building more than ten meters high being lifted into the air is amazing.
Cao Xing also controlled the vines, held the intermediate elemental arrow tower, moved quickly, and soon reached the edge of the city wall.
And as he controlled other vines to cut, a square pit with the same area appeared at the foot of the city wall.
The arrow tower was directly placed down and then integrated with the surrounding soil.
The movement of this arrow tower was declared a success.
And when monsters attack the territory, this arrow tower can play a role.
"Haha! This is so convenient!"
Cao Xing was pleasantly surprised!
You know, if it is normal demolition and construction.
Just dismantling this intermediate elemental arrow tower will take at least 40 minutes.
Then build a new elementary elemental arrow tower, and then upgrade it to an intermediate elemental arrow tower.
Going back and forth takes up at least ten hours of working time for two workers.
And now?
With this huge vine, Cao Xing completed the transfer operation in just one minute.
You can imagine how helpful this thing is to the territory!
