Chapter 298 Return to the Territory, Magical Vines (5800)

Old Mel exclaimed: "You can catch so many of these sacred creatures. You are truly a lord blessed by the goddess of luck!"

As members of Cao Xing's territory, they all knew how amazing the value of the cloud yak was.

In addition, they have established a long-term cooperative relationship with the Black Lion Chamber of Commerce, which means they have a fixed source of income every month.

It can be said that Cao Xing doesn't need to do anything else and can become rich by relying on these yaks and bare-feathered chickens.

Elisa, who was sitting on Volibear's back, jumped down and said proudly: "Father, it was me who discovered these yaks!
"And those bare-feathered chickens, I also discovered them!"

"Isn't Elisa amazing?"

Hearing this, Old Mel was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "So you went out these few days just to look for cattle?"

"Yes, yes!"

Old Mel looked at Cao Xing and then at Elisa, but he didn't blame the girl.

Instead, he said with emotion: "I have indeed grown up..."

Cao Xing said, "Mr. Meier, please take care of these cattle."

"With so many yaks and bare-feathered chickens, your workload will increase a lot. If you are too busy, remember to tell me and I will send someone to help you."

After hearing this, Old Mel smiled and shook his head, saying, "No trouble, respected lord."

"I have never seen so many cloud yaks and light-feathered chickens in my life. You are really so 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."

"Si Zhuang, take some people and lead the cattle into our cowshed."

"Also, these bare-feathered chickens should be locked up in a separate cowshed. Be careful not to let them escape. These chickens are very ferocious."

"Bron, Assam, go over and help."

After hearing this, the three of them straightened up immediately.

"As you command, Lord Lord!"

The next moment, Si Zhuang led Wu Zhuang to Ba Zhuang, leading the cattle and Da Bai, and walked towards the cowshed.

Assam and Bron followed on both sides.

After a while, Cao Xing asked someone to take Frost Moose and Dabai to their resting place.

Tong Chuchu's mecha also entered the machinery factory.

After all these powerful forces were arranged, Cao Xing said, "Cao Yi, report on today's work progress."

Cao Yi, the chieftain, stepped forward and said respectfully, "Lord, according to your instructions, we have manufactured two more transport vehicles in the machinery factory today, and also found time to build a logging robot."

“And work has already begun in the nearby grove.”

"These robots are very efficient at harvesting wood. Their electric saws can chop down a large tree in just a few seconds."

"We can even cut the wood in the wild and transport it directly back to the territory."

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and then continued: "From now on, Locke Rich will be in charge of the machinery factory. If you need any machinery to be manufactured, just notify 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 taking a look at the other person, the leader Cao Yi 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 smiled and said, "Mr. Locke, you will be our companion from now on."

"You will serve our Lord like the other goblins."

Hearing this, the goblin Locke also came back to his senses.

He looked at Cao Xing and asked the question he wanted to know most.

"My Lord, I want to know why there are so many goblin laborers in our territory."

"We, the goblin tribe, generally live in the southern continent. 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. I won them through legitimate channels."

"Besides, they live well in our territory."

Hearing this, the goblins also responded: "Mr. Goblin, we were indeed purchased by the Lord normally."

"The Lord is very kind to us. He provides us with a warm shelter and ensures our safety while we work."

“There’s even fresh bread and soup every day, which is much better than our life in the tribe!”

"Yes, yes. Look, I've only been in this territory for a few days, and I've gained a lot of weight."

The goblins chattered non-stop.

When Locke Rich heard the goblins' praise for this territory, his face was filled with surprise.

Moreover, he could see 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 fellow goblin, Locke Richie knew better than them how harsh the environment in which the goblins usually live is.

Except for some goblins like them who have integrated into civilized society.

Most goblins lead a relatively primitive life.

Their homes are in dark and damp underground or caves. Because they cannot see the sun for long periods of time, their lifespan is generally not long.

As the lowest class of goblins, goblin laborers have an even harder life.

They stay in the mine almost 24 hours a day, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in the mine.

Only occasionally would they be given a day off to visit their wives and children.

The excavated gems will also be taken away by the supervisor.

The goblins who took their gems would use them to trade with merchants on the surface in exchange for some meager supplies to sustain the survival of their tribe.

However, as the saying goes, there is no business without fraud.

Every time these merchants purchased gems from the goblins, they would push the price down to an extremely low level and withhold their supplies.

For these merchants, they control the source of sales. The goblins can only trade with them, so aren't they at the mercy of their exploitation?

The goblins naturally understood this, so some of them bravely walked out of the underground.

And he sold the gems himself so as not to be exploited by those merchants.

During this period, we naturally experienced many difficulties.

If we were to talk about the history of the development of goblins in detail, it would take three days and three nights to finish.

But in the end, they overcame these difficulties.

Then there is the character of the Goblin Merchant.

As the number of goblin merchants increased, they set up 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 the goblins were improved.

For the hard laborers at the bottom of society, there has been no change.

They still have to stay in the dim underground 24 hours a day, devoting themselves to the development of the entire tribe.

So, in this territory.

This lord not only provides shelter for these goblin laborers, but also provides them with abundant food. This is simply incredible!
Even the most prosperous goblin tribe could not afford such treatment to the hard laborers.

At this moment, he saluted Cao Xing respectfully.

"You are such a kind lord. May the god of the crypt bless you..."

"Locke Ridge, I will work for you wholeheartedly from now on."

[Your words and actions have impressed the subject: Locke Ridge. His loyalty has increased. Current loyalty: 71]

...

Cao Xing smiled and nodded slightly.

"It's okay, you should go and rest now."

"Cao Yi, take him to arrange a place to live first, and then take him to the machinery factory tomorrow to familiarize him with the environment."

"As you command, my merciful lord."

After saying that, Cao Yi took Locke Rich to arrange accommodation.

At this time, Duan came over and reported: "Lord, according to your instructions, after we finished building the cattle shed today, we will start to upgrade the city wall with all our strength."

"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 upgraded the furnace to level 17, and your lord's mansion to level 7..."

Duan's series of reports also made Cao Xing happy again.

"Well done, Duane. Your efficiency is still as high as ever."

Duan said respectfully: "It is our honor to contribute to the territory."

Da Zhuang, who was standing next to him, also came over to report: "Lord, today, according to your instructions, we drove the transport vehicle to the mine."

"However, it has been occupied by a group of mole people."

Hearing this, Cao Xing was also slightly stunned.

Last time, they drove the mole people away, but they didn't expect them to come back so soon.

It seems that the resources in that mine are very attractive to them.

Da Zhuang continued, "But please rest assured, Lord. Our Centaur warriors are all very powerful. They can easily deal with these mole men."

"That mine now belongs to us!"

"Besides that, the goblins are very efficient at mining."

"The large amount of iron ore, copper ore, and a small amount of magic crystal ore they mined today almost filled up three transport trucks!"

"The amount of mining in one day is even comparable to the efficiency of the past four or five days!"

"We have brought all the ore back and it is now being sorted at the ore processing plant."

After hearing this, Cao Xing also felt happy.

This is the benefit of a transporter.

Thanks to the hard work of more than a hundred goblin laborers, he could obtain a large amount of mineral resources every day.

These resources are the basis for the territory to develop from a small settlement into a town.

Cao Xing nodded slightly and praised: "Well done, Dazhuang."

"And the goblin laborers are working hard too."

Receiving praise from their lord, everyone had happy smiles on their faces.

Then, Cao Xing continued, "Okay, you have all 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 should do next.

"This time, I obtained a powerful divine warrior altar in that camp, which allowed all of my warrior professions to break through to the fourth level."

"That is to say, those Ascalon warriors, boar warriors, and centaur warriors can all break through."

"However, this thing requires too many materials to break through. It costs 5 crowns alone, as well as 1000 portions of food, 100 pieces of mithril, and 10 high-level element crystals." Cao Xing took a look at the reserves of these supplies in his territory and backpack.

【Coins: 574 million】

【Food: 127321】

[Mithril: 3512]

[Advanced Element Crystal: 743]

...

"It's broken. All four supplies are severely insufficient."

"With the resources I have, at most more than 30 warriors can break through to the fourth level."

"What we lack most is mithril and food."

Although in comparison, the resources consumed to allow a third-level warrior to break through to the fourth level can be said to be very small.

After all, a [Heart of Advanced Power] is worth far more than this.

But Cao Xing had too many soldiers under his command.

All together, there are at least 240 people.

If you want to break through all of them, the resources consumed will be enormous.

He was also thinking about how to obtain a large amount of resources in a short period of time.

"The two materials, Mithril and High-Level Element Crystal, should be available in the trading market."

"But the two supplies of food and crowns can only be obtained from the indigenous people."

"After all, by now, everyone knows the importance of food. It can be said to be the foundation of a territory."

"And Krona can be used to buy food, equipment, and even various secret medicines in towns. It is equivalent to a universal currency."

"So, if there are any caravans passing by my place recently, I will sell a batch of resources produced in the territory, and then I can gather all the resources."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have it. I can just go to Melinde City to sell it myself. Yaskin has almost established a foothold there anyway."

Cao Xing quickly figured out his future plans.

"Next, let's go see how many secret medicines and arrows Francesca and Harold have produced."

"Then go to the market to trade and get some resources."

Just as Cao Xing was about to go to the blacksmith shop

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 have grown successfully...]

...

The moment he saw the system prompt, the confusion on Cao Xing's face disappeared and was replaced by a look of surprise!

"This huge vine actually grew out so quickly?"

"Haha, great!"

After all, this is the second orange-quality plant in his territory.

The Pale Tree helped him greatly.

The giant vines, which are also of epic level, also have magical effects.

So, with excitement, Cao Xing quickly came to the back garden area of ​​his territory.

The tree spirit sisters also sensed the growth and arrived here in advance.

After seeing Cao Xing coming, the two girls bowed slightly again.

Cao Xing asked, "Did you also sense that the vine had grown?"

Juliette replied softly, "Yes, dear lord, I feel that there is a magical aura beneath our territory."

"Okay, let's go and take a look together."

Accompanying two beautiful tree spirit girls, they came to the pale tree.

There are a lot of golden sunflowers growing here.

Even at night, a faint golden light was emitted, making the place sacred.

At the other end of the back garden, there is a huge vine breaking through the ground.

Although only the head is exposed, one can still imagine how big this thing is.

Moreover, Cao Xing had a vague feeling that the vine that was exposed above the ground was just the tip of the iceberg.

Its larger volume is hidden underground.

When Cao Xing approached, a system prompt appeared.

[Do you want to bind the giant vine? After binding, you will be mentally connected to it and can control the vine to move underground. ]

...

Seeing the prompt, Cao Xing thought for a moment.

Then I just clicked 'yes'!
The next moment, he felt that he had established a spiritual connection with some kind of life beneath the soil.

Able to clearly sense the other party's existence and size.

But when Cao Xing sensed the complete form of this vine, he was suddenly shocked.

"Oh my goodness, it's this big?"

In his perception, this was an extremely huge giant vine, which was no less large than the pale tree on the ground, and even larger!
What’s more, it has more than one vine!
It is rooted in the ground by a huge main vein, from which thousands of vines branch out.

Like tentacles, it moves underground.

If Cao Xing had not established a spiritual connection with this plant, he would never have imagined that there were such a bunch of huge creatures under his territory.

It and the Pale Tree are both guardians of the territory, but one guards the surface of the territory, and the other guards the underground of the territory.

"This is outrageous. Moreover, this giant vine looks like it is still in its growth stage and will continue to grow!"

“It is estimated that it will be able to grow into a giant plant in the future.”

Next, we need to try how to control this vine.

With a thought.

Cao Xing felt the soil beneath his feet begin to tremble.

Three or four vines moved quickly in the land below like earth dragons.

And in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the location designated by Cao Xing, which was the area where golden sunflowers were planted.

"Try cutting it."

At this moment, three or four vines surrounded the golden sunflower, cutting through the area where it was rooted and the nearby soil!

The vines looked fragile, but cutting through the icy frozen soil was easier than cutting tofu with a blade.

"Wow, so this is how you move these buildings on the ground."

"Just cut it open together with the soil under the building and then move it, right?"

"interesting!"

Cao Xing controlled the four vines together and directly lifted up the soil where the golden sunflowers were planted.

Then, he controlled several other vines to cut out a pit of almost the same size on the other side of the territory.

Transfer the golden sunflower and the soil directly into the big pit.

In the blink of an eye, the golden sunflowers moved to another place to grow.

And as the vines below began to move the soil, the soil of the 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!"

Neve and Juliette next to them looked at each other, with strong surprise in their beautiful eyes.

"Sister... this vine is really magical..."

Juliette nodded her head. "Yes, it can actually cut through the soil and move underground, helping to move plants and buildings..."

"Even in our sacred forest, we have never seen such a magical plant."

At this time, Cao Xing was still immersed in the joy after transferring the sunflower.

After understanding the operation, Cao Xing decided to try to transfer a larger building.

So, he set his sights on an [Intermediate Elemental Arrow Tower] in the distance.

This arrow tower was built the earliest and is located almost in the center of the territory.

As the territory expanded and continued to be built, it was stuck among a bunch of buildings and looked a bit out of place.

Moreover, due to its insufficient range, this arrow tower is basically useless under normal circumstances.

Following his thoughts, at least a dozen vines moved underground and soon came to the bottom of the Elemental Arrow Tower.

Then, the tips of the vines began to cut the soil around the arrow tower like blades.

"Shasha... Shasha..."

In the blink of an eye, a square area of ​​about 25 square meters was cut out.

Then, as a dozen vines underground began to move, this huge arrow tower, along with the soil beneath it.

It was lifted up directly.

"Crash!"

The sight of a building more than ten meters high being lifted into the air is quite astonishing.

Cao Xing also controlled the vines, holding up the intermediate elemental arrow tower, and moved quickly, and soon arrived at the edge of the city wall.

And as he controlled the other vines to cut, a square pit of the same area appeared at the foot of the city wall.

The arrow tower was directly placed down and then merged with the surrounding soil.

The movement of this arrow tower was declared a success.

And this arrow tower can come in handy when monsters attack the territory.

"Haha! This is so convenient!"

Cao Xing was very surprised!

You know, if it is normal demolition and construction.

It would take at least 40 minutes just to dismantle this intermediate elemental arrow tower.

Then rebuild a primary element arrow tower and then upgrade it to an intermediate element arrow tower.

The round trip would take at least two workers nearly ten hours of work.

And now?

With this huge vine, Cao Xing completed the transfer operation by himself in just one minute.

You can imagine how much help this thing will be to the territory!
