Storm? (Continued)

Isn't this reproduction rate a bit outrageous?

Most importantly, the 10 kilograms of meat they were given had already been eaten, and everyone was now eating the pile of dirt that had been left nearby.

And at that moment, a slime happened to be splitting.

Then, in front of Ye Qian, their number became 22.

"Great. I was originally planning to wait until we had a larger quantity before starting the synthesis, but we don't need to hesitate this time."

[Green Slime LV1] + [Green Slime LV1] → [Green Slime LV3]

Bite!

[Lucky Strike: Current Slime Level +1]

[Green Slime LV2] + [Green Slime LV2] → [Green Slime LV5]

Bite!

[Lucky Strike: Current Slime Level +1]

After Fusion three sets in a row, Ye Qian discovered that as long as she took action herself, she was guaranteed to land a lucky hit.

Lan Xinyu, who was next to her, tried it, but it didn't work.

The girl immediately looked at Ye Qian with a very depressed expression.

[Green Slime LV4] + [Green Slime LV4] → [Blue Slime LV6]

Bite!

[Lucky Strike: Current Slime Level +1]

"Um?"

This slime is slightly different; it's blue.

LV8

The attributes are similar, except the skill to heal slime has disappeared and has been replaced by the skill to corrode slime.

"It looks like it's starting to be useful in combat."

Most importantly, Ye Qian discovered that with each Fusion, the loyalty of these slimes would increase by about 10 points.

Seeing this result, Chen Ning couldn't help but smile and walked over, "Interesting. From a certain perspective, this slime farm is more valuable than the Skeleton graveyard."

"Indeed." Ye Qian nodded. "I think we shouldn't rush into Fusion yet. Let them multiply more, and I'll go out and catch some more."

The number of Skeleton also increased that day, by an overall 50.

However, these are all low-level forces below LV10, with only the elite Skeleton being somewhat powerful.

Therefore, everyone is currently hoping that a true powerhouse will emerge from among the slimes.

In this expedition, Ye Qian led 50 Skeleton and a loli dragon, fighting her way to a small hill 20 kilometers away.

Standing here, you can already see the forest on the distant horizon.

Of course, in fact, there are already quite a few trees where she is standing now.

Looking into the distance, one could see a group of 12 Gnoll hunting Gray Wolf.

Without a word, he ordered his Skeleton army to surround and attack the Gnoll.

The loli dragon took to the air and, without even revealing its true form, launched a surprise attack on those below.

To Ye Qian's surprise, the average strength of this Gnoll seemed to have increased significantly, with an average level of over 10, and their captain being an elite unit.

However, with a strong offensive and Amia's breath attack, the team was completely defeated.

The enemy fought to the last man; none surrendered.

After taking the body and loading it into the metal truck, Ye Qian hesitated about whether to enter the forest area.

"Let's build a Watchtower here."

Ye Qian left two Skeleton here as a marker.

After leading the team back to the territory, putting down the corpses and merging them into Skeleton, Lan Xinyu also returned.

"Wow, Ye Qian, you killed so many!"

Lan Xinyu looked extremely excited upon seeing the truck full of wild animal carcasses and the Gnoll being dumped out.

"The Skeleton formed from Gnoll can be used to explore to the south, but we need to avoid being seen by their own kind," Ye Qian said.

"You're right. Since I've explored the south, I'll command all these creatures."

"Um."

The north is currently the focus of everyone's expansion.

The goal was to infiltrate the forest.

When a new batch of Skeleton rose up, there were now 300 Skeleton creatures in the homestead.

The two waited for a while until Chen Ning returned. They discussed making this place their main base and building a new Watchtower at the location marked by Ye Qian. This would create a line connecting the Mining Area, the main base, and the No. 2 sub-territory in the north, ensuring that no place would be completely destroyed if attacked.

"Is the purpose of building defensive lines around here to protect our main base?" Lan Xinyu asked.

"Yes, all the important buildings are here. If we encounter the enemy, we can't fight right here, can we? So we need to build a defensive perimeter. If the enemy attacks, we can rely on the troops stationed here to resist. If we can't win, we can temporarily send troops over by railcar. When the territory gets bigger, we can even lay railway tracks."

Chen Ning's idea was undoubtedly what Ye Qian hoped for.

"In that case, I'll take some materials with me. Base 2 is the outpost before entering the forest, so it definitely needs to be carefully planned. Lan Xinyu, build a base five kilometers to the south and use Watchtower to monitor it. The east is currently Mining Area, so how about Chen Ning goes to the west?"

"OK."

After the three parties finished their discussions, they began to lead the majority of their troops to the designated location.

When Ye Qian went there this time, she immediately set up three Watchtower.

The distance between each tower is about 100 meters, forming a triangle.

The center of the triangle is the construction land, where wooden houses are planned to be built.

With the help of the Skeleton, the house was built relatively quickly. Although these four-legged creatures were not very agile, with the cooperation of the humanoid Skeleton, a simple house was still built.

She went inside the house, sat on the wooden bed, lay back, and smiled contentedly.

"Experiencing this Main World really feels like playing a farming game."

She was just about to open the chat group to see what other players were doing when a message suddenly appeared in front of her.

[Storm Warning!]

[Starting in the next 24 hours, large areas of the territory will be hit by widespread storms of level 14 or higher. Players in the affected areas are advised to prepare accordingly.]

You can combat natural disasters by reinforcing buildings and diverting water flow.

After the storm ends, players in the affected area will be ranked and rewarded based on the extent of their damage. The less damage, the greater the reward.

Ye Qian sat up abruptly.

"No way, Storm?"

A large area affected by a level 14 or higher typhoon, could this be a typhoon?

She muttered something to herself and quickly checked her friends' profile.

Chen Ning: "Did you guys see the storm warning?"

Lan Xinyu: "I saw it, it can't be real, right? A wind of force 14 or higher?"

Ye Qian: "..."

Chen Ning: "No need to say more. Development can slow down for now. Let's think about how to withstand the strong winds (expression: sweating)."

Ye Qian sighed, sat up in bed, looked at the newly built house, and shook her head.

Let alone this thing, it's questionable whether the Arrow Tower can even withstand it.

"Hmm, the Arrow Tower is cylindrical and looks quite sturdy; it shouldn't collapse, right?"

She thought for a moment and replied in the system's private chat group, "I'll reinforce the Arrow Tower and houses here and then come back."

Chen Ning: "Okay."

Her reinforcement method was actually quite simple: she inserted long wooden planks into the ground, stacked them up to form a very thick wooden wall, and then used a triangular structure on the outside of the wall to Stabilization it.

Of course, considering that the Auto-Guided Arrow Tower is relatively tall, the top section cannot be protected.

There were trees nearby, but fortunately, Ye Qian had brought a lot of axes, all carried by the humanoid Skeleton, and she simply had them run over and chop them down.

He opened the trading area directly and bought some wooden planks.

The planks were incredibly cheap; a single tree's planks were worth only 10 Copper Coin. She spent 1 silver coin to buy the wood from 10 trees and then began reinforcing them.

"This wooden house is no longer needed for the time being, let's take it down."

All materials are useful.

She herself checked the chat group.

[Gan Niang: What the hell? You want me to withstand a Category 14 storm in my thatched hut? Are you trying to kill me? Let me show you what kind of place I live in (Photo: A dilapidated thatched hut, all wood).]

[Grandpa Virus: What's there to be afraid of? It's just a typhoon. We see it on the news every year, it's nothing special.]

[Wife's Sister: The people above clearly haven't experienced the terror of a real typhoon. Do you know what a Category 14 or higher means? It can blow your forehead off!]

[lolo: Which pretty girl's skirt got blown up by the wind? Let me see (drooling).]

[Pervert Get Lost: Get out, you pervert in front!!!]

[Bai Feng: I think I'm going to die. My teammates are all idiots, and our territory is downstream, surrounded by mountains. If a flash flood hits, all my hard work will be gone!!!]

[Ninth Empire: I was originally planning to attack a nearby town, but it seems I'll have to postpone it.]

[High Sugar Cola: Invading a town? Holy crap, that's a pro.]

[Ninth Empire: I advise you all to develop quickly. We are competitors, so don't think that you won't fight when you meet.]

After reading the chat, Ye Qian frowned slightly.

"Anyone can attack towns now? The competition is really fierce."

She exited the interface and began helping to reinforce the Skeleton.

After a busy period of time, she breathed a sigh of satisfaction as she looked at the building in front of her.

"I don't know if it will collapse, but I've done everything I can."

She even disassembled the transmitter and protected it with special equipment.

The sky had already darkened.

Even a few minutes ago, a light rain had passed by.

Ye Qian tried to cover her head with her hands, but it was no use; she still got soaked.

"I'm going back."

We got into the Iron-Clad Cart and started our journey back.

We arrived 20 kilometers and half an hour later. When I jumped out, it had already started to drizzle.

She discovered that Lan Xinyu was building a fence here to protect the farm.

"Ye Qian, go and reinforce the wooden house."

"Um."

Ye Qian directed her Skeleton to begin helping.

The group worked into the night, reinforcing all the buildings.

Two layers of wooden stakes were driven in a circle, completely surrounding the house, and only 5 centimeters away from the edge of the wall.

Chen Ning estimated that it could block even a level 17 wind, let alone a level 14 wind.
