Chapter 218: Unexpected Gains (Three Chapters in One)
Wu Feng flipped open the parchment scroll, wanting to see if the red panda had sneaked into his territory.
As a result, Wu Feng found that the red panda not only did not move, but ran back to the spiritual spring. It buried its head and drank a mouthful of the spiritual spring, closing its eyes to savor it, and then lay down.
Looking at the red panda's appearance, it seemed that it was not going to steal the red blood fruit and the dragon blood fruit. This alert little guy had already discovered something wrong.
How could there be both the perfect quality red blood fruit and the legendary quality dragon blood fruit in a territory! And these two things appeared in succession, it must be a trap!
Wu Feng did not expect the red panda to be so alert. Seeing it patting its belly and lying leisurely beside the spiritual spring, Wu Feng was speechless.
Good guy, are you going to start fishing? Aren't you supposed to be looking for natural treasures everywhere?
Wu Feng thought about it. He really wanted to let Wei Gu Si lead the team to teleport to the vicinity of the spiritual spring. However, since he had no targeted means to restrain the panda's ability to shuttle through the void, this would only alert the enemy.
It would be better to put this matter aside for now. If he could draw useful props from the treasure chest key later, he could try to capture the panda again.
Anyway, this little guy seemed to have made this spiritual spring his habitat. As long as he kept an eye on it, he would be able to find the panda.
This kind of thing cannot be forced. We can only wait and see. Sooner or later, the panda will be unable to resist.
"Lord, just now a group of refugees and several craftsmen came to our door. They said they came to seek refuge with us. Do you think you should take them in?"
Because Wei Gu Si had a large number of younger brothers who could help her kill monsters, she didn't have to fight in person most of the time. Usually, Wu Feng asked her to assist him and help deal with the internal affairs of the territory.
Wei Gu Si, wearing a red robe, came in to report the situation. Wu Feng's heart moved. Is this the majestic effect of the Emperor's chariot taking effect?
When Wu Feng launches the Heavenly Emperor Tour, he will fly through the sky. Such a cool behavior will not only be seen by other lords, but also by the indigenous residents living in the area.
Wu Feng also discovered an indigenous fortress during the tour, which shows that there are still many indigenous residents and even indigenous forces in the abyss.
"Of course we have to take them in. I will go to see them in person!" Wu Feng waved his hand. Accompanied by Vigus, he came to the residential area and saw hundreds of ragged refugees and several craftsmen of different professions.
This residential area was specially divided by Wu Feng. All the houses built here are residential buildings, which are the same basic buildings as farms.
Unlike the role of reclaiming farmland, residential houses are specially used for living. They are more comfortable and spacious than farms. They are built with bricks and stones, which are much more comfortable than farms.
Wu Feng is willing to spend more magic crystals to build residential houses for the people in the territory. Those craftsmen can even live in the courtyard with their own doors and courtyards.
This group of refugees obviously live in a very poor environment. After seeing such a large area of houses and courtyards, they all showed expressions of shock and envy.
"This territory is so rich that ordinary people can live in houses. The lord here is so good to his people!"
The refugees are waiting for arrangements and distribution one by one. They are already very satisfied to be able to enter this territory alive and get shelter.
As long as the lord here is willing to take them in and give them a place to stay, they will be satisfied.
At this time, Wu Feng came out: "I am the lord here, and you are my people from now on! You can live in houses and enjoy the same treatment as other people!"
Wu Feng's words made many refugees dumbfounded. They didn't expect that they could get such preferential treatment!
You know, they are all refugees. If they go to other shelters, they can only become the lowest pariahs! If monsters attack the city, they will be the cannon fodder at the forefront.
Originally, after their gathering place was breached by monsters, they were ready to seek refuge in the nearest shelter, but after seeing the domineering lord flying through the sky, they all came to seek refuge.
They were all prepared to become pariahs. Those legendary defense towers had already given them the greatest sense of security. Unexpectedly, the lord was willing to let them be formal citizens of the territory!
Seeing that these refugees did not react, Wu Feng was very puzzled. Could it be that this could not impress them?
Just as he was thinking, several craftsmen among the refugees hurriedly came out: "Thank you, Lord, for taking us in! We are refugees from the No. 7 gathering place 30 kilometers away. Our gathering place was breached, so we came to seek refuge with the Lord. Thanks to the Lord's kindness, we are willing to go through fire and water for the construction of the territory!"
These craftsmen are blacksmiths, architects and tailors, and they are all talents above blue quality. The effect of the mighty power of heaven is really good.
In any case, these craftsmen and people are all free, and they have lived in the abyss for a long time. They can survive, and their abilities are absolutely good.
For example, the blacksmith among this group of refugees has a kind of military equipment called Demon-Breaking Arrows, which can be used by archers to increase the damage to monsters. This is where he is better than ordinary blacksmiths of the same level.
Wu Feng became interested in them: "What world are you from? How long have you lived in the abyss?"
These are living aboriginals. Wu Feng could only decipher some written records through parchment scrolls before, which naturally cannot be compared with face-to-face communication.
The middle-aged blacksmith who mastered the magic-breaking arrow spoke first: "Lord, I am Morse from the Divine Continent. Before our world fell into the abyss, I was a blacksmith in the Black Iron City. I also have my own blacksmith shop. ”
"But ten years ago, our divine continent was divided into countless pieces and fell into the abyss. Our Black Iron City randomly fell into this area."
"In the year we first fell into the abyss, we also met some races from other worlds. After communicating, we found that our experiences were the same."
The dwarf architect also said: "Our Gray Rock City also fell into the abyss in this way, at about the same time as Black Iron City. Gray Rock City once communicated with Black Iron City for a period of time."
"But then the monsters began to appear. We had to fight against the monsters, so we had less communication. As the monsters became more and more numerous, our Gray Rock City could not resist them first, so we had to move to the Black Iron City."
Morse continued: "Not only Gray Rock City, but also survivors from several other cities later migrated to Black Iron City. Because we have a great mage, Black Iron City can resist the invasion of monsters and has become the leader of that area. refuge."
"Under the protection of the Archmage, our Black Iron City has existed for seven years. However, the number of monsters has been increasing, and there are more and more monster nests. Two years ago, Black Iron City also fell. That day , the Archmage and his apprentices died in the Black Iron City."
"Those of us who survived had no choice but to escape separately and look for other survivor gathering places. So after traveling hundreds of kilometers, we entered gathering place No. 7 and lived here for another two years."
Wu Feng took out the map drawn by the thief hero and asked Morse to point out the location of gathering place No. 7. Morse pointed to a location on the map while explaining.
"The gathering place is an outer stronghold established by the shelter. It can accommodate survivors from other places. If they perform well, they can live in the shelter. It is said that the shelter has a powerful army and extremely lethal city defenses. Its combat power far exceeds that of the Black Iron City."
"But tonight, our gathering place No. 7 was also attacked by monsters under the twin moons. I don't know why in the past few days, not only the duration of the blood moon, purple moon and black moon has been extended, but the twin moons have also appeared. The visions continue to appear!”
"I'm afraid not only our gathering place No. 7, but other gathering places will also suffer!"
Morse's words allowed Wu Feng to analyze a lot of information. He couldn't help but point to the map: "Is the shelter you mentioned in this area?"
Wu Feng was referring to the aboriginal fortress he discovered during his tour. He was extremely impressed by that place, which was indeed heavily defended.
Morse nodded: "The shelter is in that direction. I once went there to buy goods, and the blacksmith master is willing to accept me as his disciple. But there is no magic-breaking arrow of mine here at the No. 7 gathering place, which can't resist the monsters." Because of their offensive, I didn’t stay.”
Wu Feng nodded. It turned out that the fortress was a refuge. Was it also built by the aborigines? From this point of view, the power of the indigenous people cannot be underestimated.
It's just that the living conditions of the aborigines in the abyss are too difficult. The land is really vast and sparsely populated, which makes it rare for the lords to encounter the aborigines.
It was only now that Wu Feng was connected with the aborigines.
From Morse's mouth, Wu Feng not only learned about the existence of the shelter, but also heard some hidden meanings: "Morse, you said that you have rarely seen the phenomenon of two moons rising together before?"
Morse nodded: "In the ten years since we entered the abyss, even three ominous moons have only appeared for a short period of time, and the new moon generally only lasts for half an hour."
"But starting from a few days ago, the time for the new moon to appear has been greatly extended. The new moon that lasts for five to six hours or even seven or eight hours simply makes the monsters riot. Just for this reason, a large number of people gathered The earth will suffer.”
"As for the two moons coming out together, that is a phenomenon that only occurs once a month. On that day, not only the gathering places will be on standby, but even the shelters will have their gates closed and a curfew will be implemented!"
"After the double moons appeared last night, we thought we were safe tonight, but we didn't expect the double moons to appear again tonight! We suffered heavy losses last night, and tonight's double moons caught us off guard, making us The gathering place was destroyed by a wave of monsters. Of the gathering place of nearly ten thousand people, only us people escaped alive..."
Wu Feng's idea was confirmed. After these lords arrived, the mechanism in this abyss was officially activated!
Three ominous moons take turns waiting on us, how virtuous and capable are we little lords!
And according to Wu Feng's prediction, where is this going? The days to come will only become more and more difficult.
"Morse, since you have escaped to my territory, you are completely safe. You can rest tonight. There are vacant houses here. You can squeeze in them first. If you really can't live in them, you can live on the farm first. , I will allocate enough private houses to you during the day.”
Wu Feng first arranged for the aborigines in front of him to stay, and then he could gradually play their role.
Morse and others did not expect that the lord would be so friendly and let them live in private houses directly. He also promised to build new private houses for them to live in during the day.
It is their great blessing to meet such a good lord!
To Wu Feng's surprise, more than a dozen relatively strong men took the initiative to stand up: "Lord, we are militiamen in the No. 7 gathering place. We are responsible for farming during normal times and fighting monsters when monsters attack."
"Since there is no room for people in the houses, we will live on the farm. You can let us farm or participate in battles during normal times. We are willing to contribute to the territory."
These militiamen are worried that if they, a group of refugees, only eat and do nothing, they will be disliked by the lord and other people, so they took the initiative to apply to work and fight on the farm.
With them taking the lead, other young and strong men also stood up: "Lord, we are also militiamen in the No. 7 gathering place. We can also farm and fight."
Seeing this group of militiamen who took the initiative to stand up, Wu Feng's heart moved. He thought of the evolutionary conditions of the farm. If a militia grows into a blue quality in battle, the farm can be evolved into a militia training camp.
Among this group of militiamen, 5 of them are blue quality, which means that they participated in many battles when they were in the No. 7 gathering place and have a very good foundation.
This is normal. The farmers in Wu Feng's territory only focus on farming. It is really difficult for them to pick up weapons.
Fighting is done by heroes and other arms. They are not adapted to the battlefield environment at all, and it is difficult for them to survive on the battlefield.
The militiamen in the No. 7 gathering place are different. They are always facing the invasion of monsters and often fight with monsters. Those who can survive are "veterans" with rich combat skills, and the probability of improving their quality is greater.
"Since you want to defend the territory, live and train together in a farm. I will let people train you."
Wu Feng is also ready to try the farm evolution method. He binds this group of militiamen to the same farm, and then asks Morse to build arms equipment for them and arm them.
At that time, the militia can also go up to the city wall and practice leveling on it, so as to try to evolve the quality of the militia as soon as possible, and see if they can meet the conditions to evolve into a militia training camp or even a strongman training camp.
Wu Feng is also very interested in these two training camps. It seems that among the refugees taken in, whether they are craftsmen or civilians, they seem to have a more solid foundation than those summoned by the summoning scroll. This should be because they have been struggling in the abyss for several years and their skills have improved.
With Morse and the militia, Wu Feng thinks that he may try to communicate with the shelter, but there is no rush now. Let Morse and others integrate into the territory.
"Lord, this is the ambergris I brewed. Today's rain has improved the quality of the ambergris a lot. It tastes absolutely delicious. Do you want to try it?"
Just as Wu Feng arranged this group of refugees, Lao Liu also came to the lord's mansion with a jar of ambergris with a strong aroma of wine. The ambergris he brewed was just out of the oven, and he brought it to the lord to taste it as soon as possible.
Wu Feng is not a wine lover, but after smelling the ambergris, he also felt his lips and teeth watering, and he had the urge to taste it.
For wine lovers, this ambergris is definitely a super treasure. Wu Feng's eyes lit up: "Then let me taste the taste of this ambergris!"
Wu Feng signaled Lao Liu to pour the wine. It was just time for dinner. Xiao Dajia pushed out various delicacies. This time, Xiao Dajia cooked all the major dishes.
Braised lion head, white-cut chicken, stir-fried lamb with green onions, roast suckling pig, etc., there are lamb, pork, chicken, which made Qi Yalu, who had just eaten the dragon blood fruit, feel hungry again!
However, Wu Feng thought of the group of hungry refugees who came to his territory, so he made special arrangements: "Butler Li, remember to arrange for Xiaosong to prepare a sumptuous dinner for our new members."
"As long as we are members of our territory, we can't go hungry!"
Hearing Wu Feng's order, Butler Li immediately took the order: "Lord, I will arrange it now."
Butler Li is indeed an experienced old butler. He assists in some housework and is very capable.
"Little Master, there are so many meat dishes today? You know I'm growing up, so you specially want to nourish me?" Qi Yalu was excited. She just wanted to hear the Lord say that the meal was ready!
Wu Feng was also very curious. Little Master did increase the proportion of meat dishes this time, and the taste of these meat dishes seemed to be better!
He tasted a bite of the stir-fried lamb with green onions, and felt that the taste was mellow. The lamb had no smell at all, but a fragrance lingered between his lips and tongue.
The young master smiled slightly: "Lord, that is the fine material I got from the farm. Today you made a green rain fall in the territory, and the livestock and poultry in the territory have undergone qualitative changes. I tried their taste."
"It can be said that these livestock and poultry are not ordinary things at all. They taste more delicious. If you eat them for a long time, they can also improve your physical fitness!"
Wu Feng nodded. When he launched the Emperor's tour, he did find that various domestic livestock and poultry absorbed the rain. They completely transformed. No wonder the taste changed so much.
The young master also suggested: "Lord, I have also carefully identified that some livestock and poultry have even developed spirituality after absorbing the rain."
"I didn't slaughter this kind of livestock and poultry, and asked the farm to raise them well. I slaughtered livestock and poultry that only ate the grass that absorbed the rain to change. They don't seem to be so easy to develop spirituality."
Qiyalu said at this time: "Then we can focus on cultivating livestock and poultry that directly absorbed the rain. Feeding other livestock and poultry with spiritual grass will definitely be delicious!"
Qi Yalu couldn't help drooling when she thought about being able to eat more delicious meat dishes in the future.
Wu Feng didn't have any objection. Anyway, he launched the Heavenly Emperor's Parade every day, and the rain from the sky was a side effect. The dishes cooked by the young master were to improve his quality of life and physical fitness, so Wu Feng would naturally not refuse.
"Then this kind of meat will be called spiritual meat from now on. The heroes and I will eat this kind of spiritual meat. It tastes really good."
Although Wu Feng is not a natural foodie like Qi Yalu who is dedicated to food, he may eat peerless food every day, which is also a blessing for his career as a lord.
If you can live a more comfortable life, who would want to be so miserable?
Wu Feng asked Wigus and Geralt to take a break and taste the delicious food together. After Niu Da also arrived, he stared at the jar of ambergris and swallowed hard.
Good guys, one Qiyalu loves to eat meat, and the other Niuda loves to drink. You two really have your own characteristics!
Seeing that Niu Da's saliva was almost covering the table, Wu Feng opened the jar of wine and said, "Niu Da, come here, let's taste the taste of this ambergris."
"And Dian Wei, you can have a drink too, but you are not allowed to drink too much or get drunk!"
After Wu Feng opened the ambergris, its fragrance was even richer. This fragrance also surpassed that of vermilion fruit and dragon blood fruit. The pure aroma of wine should be more attractive.
Niu Da couldn't bear it anymore. He picked up his bowl and looked at Wu Feng longingly. Wu Feng shook his head and poured a bowl for Niu Da: "Come on, I won't miss you."
Wu Feng poured another bowl of wine for Dian Wei. As a military general, Dian Wei was naturally used to eating large portions of meat and drinking heavily.
The lord actually allowed them to drink, and Dian Wei also enjoyed a rare occasion.
Unlike the two big men who drank it all in one go, Wu Feng just took a sip of the ambergris. It tasted really good. Although it was spicy after entering the mouth, it was very easy to go down.
When the ambergris flowed into his stomach, Wu Feng felt a warm current in his body. He felt that his limbs were warm and comfortable.
Wu Feng couldn't help but take another sip, and this second sip was much larger. He ate meat and drank wine, and rarely relaxed for a moment.
Since the two moons had not yet ended and it was 13 o'clock at night, Wu Feng saw that there was still an hour left for the Nanman invasion, so he did not let go completely.
A jar of ambergris was finally divided into half by Niu Da and Dian Wei. The two of them happened to be in a state of 70% drunkenness and could regain their fighting strength after taking a rest.
Lao Liu was also left to taste the taste of spiritual flesh. He also drank two sips of ambergris. Seeing that the lord didn't drink much, he couldn't help but asked: "Lord, the taste of this ambergris is not enough. Okay? You don’t like it?”
Old Liu was very worried. This ambergris took a lot of effort on his part, and because of the rain from the sky, it was more mellow than he expected.
Originally, Old Liu thought that the lord would like ambergris very much, but now it seems...
Wu Feng shook his head: "The ambergris you brewed tastes very good, and I like it very much, but now I can't be greedy. There are still many things to do in the territory!"
"This ambergris of yours tastes much better than green ant wine. Take some to the Dawn Tavern. It will definitely attract more and more powerful heroes."
After receiving the Lord's approval, Old Liu was even happier than if he had drunk the ambergris. He immediately ran out of the Lord's mansion: "Lord, I'm going to get you the remaining jars of ambergris, and a few more jars. To Dawn Tavern.”
Seeing Old Liu running away in a hurry, Wu Feng simply went to Shuguang Tavern first. He had now completed Caddis' mission and could hand in the mission!
After the third stage of the mission is completed, Caddis will join his command. This will add a hero of perfect quality!
When Wu Feng opened the door of Dawn Tavern again, he noticed that the heroes in the tavern had changed again. As he completed a round of tavern tasks and hero tasks every day, there were more and more heroes in the tavern.
He has obtained 3 purple-quality heroes in the tavern. Every time he obtains a hero, the resident heroes in the tavern will be refreshed, which is equivalent to randomly selecting a new hero to settle in.
Now, in addition to Caddis, there are 3 purple heroes and 5 blue heroes stationed in the Dawn Tavern, so he can complete the mission of the blue hero today, and the heroes who have settled in can be updated again.
Wu Feng temporarily suppressed the idea of finding other heroes. He found Caddis first: "Sir, I have fulfilled your third wish. You can join my territory!"
After handing over the task, Caddis took a sip of green ant wine, and a rare smile appeared on his cold face: "Lord, your sincerity and ability impressed me, and I am willing to join you."
[Ding... Successfully destroy 15 medium-sized demon lairs, complete the third stage of Wandering Heart, obtain 300 challenge points and an orange hero summoning scroll, and obtain the hero: Wandering Swordsman (perfect quality). 】
Wu Feng was overjoyed. He had added a hero of perfect quality to his command, which would increase his combat power again! This time, his territory score increased to 89,620 points, one step closer to 100,000 points.
If it reaches 100,000 points, then Wu Feng can open the Territory People's List. This is the list that best proves the territory's comprehensive strength!
"There is also an orange hero summoning scroll, so now I have 5 such scrolls. If I collect 10 of them together with Thousand Draws, I will have a chance to obtain a hero of mythical quality!"
Wu Feng attached great importance to the orange hero scroll. With Caddis under his command, a position for a new hero can be vacated, which is just right for taking out ambergris to attract a higher quality hero.
Just when Wu Feng was expecting Lao Liu to come with the ambergris, Wu Feng saw Lao Liu rushing to the Dawn Tavern in a hurry; "Lord, it's bad! My jar of ambergris was stolen by a thief! It almost completely ruined my jar of ambergris!"
Seeing Lao Liu's expression, Wu Feng shuddered. Now someone dares to come to his territory to steal things? He is simply impatient to live!
His expression immediately turned cold: "Was the thief who stole things caught? Or was he killed directly by the defense tower in the territory?"
Unexpectedly, Lao Liu grabbed a black and white thing from the jar with a complicated expression: "Yes, I brought this thief here..."
