The Sixth Day

The War Falcon learned to use its skill faster than Bone Two.

After all, Mu Yuan supervised it daily and even fed it several valuable Abundant Fruits.

His investment wasn't wasted.

The War Falcon, paired with 'Shared Vision', indeed possessed significant strategic value.

「War Falcon (Common ★★★)」

「Level: Zero Order Level 4」

However, the War Falcon's level was a bit low. Even after eating several Abundant Fruits, it could only use Shared Vision 4 or 5 times at most during one outing.

Furthermore, the duration of a single Shared Vision use wasn't long.

It was far from being able to keep Shared Vision active for extended periods while he just snacked on melon seeds and watched videos.

There were limitations.

However, by giving some instructions in advance, such as having the War Falcon activate Shared Vision at intervals or use the skill when it discovered a large group of monsters or encountered danger, he could still achieve the desired effect.

Soon, a prompt popped up, asking if he wanted to access the War Falcon's vision.

A smaller screen frame appeared in the middle of the screen. Mu Yuan could shrink it to the bottom right corner or enlarge it to fill the entire screen.

This wasn't strange; it was just like opening a small pop-up window.

After all, he and the War Falcon were separated by a world.

"If I could personally enter the Eternal World, or summon the War Falcon to reality and then use Shared Vision, I could have a wonderful extraordinary experience."

Personally entering was still quite distant for a newbie like him.

But experiencing it in the real world?

He could try it when the time was right.

He wasn't in a hurry. As a newbie, he still needed to focus on development and stability.

Wisps of white mist drifted past on either side of his vision. Below were thick, lush trees, rooted there, forming a vast sea of forest.

Due to the influence of the white mist, coupled with the dense trees and complex terrain, the War Falcon couldn't fly too high for reconnaissance.

Several times before, it had been attacked by monsters because it flew too low and almost died tragically.

But things change. A Falcon was no longer what it used to be.

Whoosh whoosh—

Suddenly, a Two Star Monkey Monster darted out from the dense canopy and pounced fiercely towards the reconnaissance falcon.

The War Falcon let out a cry, skillfully dodging with a 270-degree turn. It didn't get entangled with the Monkey Monster, increased its flight altitude, and quickly flew away.

There was a scare, but no danger. As expected of a Three Star unit.

However,

Looking at the screen rotating 270 degrees simultaneously, Mu Yuan only felt a bit dizzy. If he wasn't experiencing Shared Vision through a medium, but personally, and the War Falcon did a few more two-and-a-half twists in the air, he would definitely have to stand up and dance in circles on the spot.

Use with caution, use with caution in reality.

The War Falcon soared through the sea of mist, and Mu Yuan took in the vast land before his eyes.

He saw a pack of wolves standing on a mountain, howling at the sky. The wolf pack leader seemed to have a crescent mark on its forehead, and looking from afar, a fierce aura seemed to rush towards him.

He saw a terrifying Ogre holding a large club in a certain mountain forest, letting out a roar that vibrated the air.

He saw a swamp to the southwest, where a monster with a human head and snake body lived.

Snake People.

He saw group after group of Goblins moving through the mountain forests, and further away, there was a Goblin Camp that was clearly larger in scale, which the War Falcon didn't dare to fly close to observe.

Vaguely, Mu Yuan seemed to see a figure like an Iron Tower walking out from it.

For an entire day, the War Falcon flew, activated skills, ran out of energy, returned for supplies, and set off again, repeating the cycle endlessly.

Mu Yuan could be said to have squeezed... cough, maximized the tactical value of the War Falcon.

And with the power of this one Falcon, he had scouted the situation around his territory quite thoroughly.

"Although this is a wilderness, are there perhaps a billion more monsters?"

"We certainly have the ability to wipe out a single monster group, but what if... what if thousands of Goblins swarmed at once, how would I deal with them?"

He couldn't deal with them!

In Undead Bone's words, these Goblins were too numerous, too dangerous. They had ten thousand reasons to die and must be wiped out as soon as possible!

"No wonder the strategy posts on the forum keep emphasizing that players should eliminate as many surrounding monsters as possible, otherwise, when the trial day arrives, they will face great disaster."

Although, Mu Yuan always felt that his situation was more than a little trickier than what normal newbies encountered.

He was indeed unlucky.

But at least, there were no extremely terrifying monsters near the territory, terrifying to the point of being unable to resist.

The strongest enemies found so far were probably that Wandering Ogre and the Gargoyle guarding the Ruined Tower.

Uh, these two seem to be existences that most excellent newbies are powerless to resist no matter how they develop.

"The Wandering Ogre can be left alone for now. After all, this guy is a Rare Grade Two Star monster. Not only does it look incredibly strong, but you can also tell at a glance that it's a poor coin."

Even if he defeated it, it wouldn't drop much.

Moreover, the Wandering Ogre was relatively far from the territory. If he really wanted to defeat it, he would first have to eliminate the monster groups blocking the way.

Troublesome, time-consuming!

It's definitely not that he couldn't beat the Ogre or anything.

"As for the Gargoyles in front of the Ruined Tower..."

Mu Yuan frowned. Compared to the Ogres, the Gargoyles were quite close to the territory, practically right at the territory's entrance.

This forced them to take a large detour to avoid the area around the Ruined Tower when exploring south.

The Ogres were a threat, but the Gargoyles were something they absolutely had to guard against.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yuan ordered the War Falcon to fly south and keep Shared Vision active the entire time.

Soon,

The Ruined Tower, buried in the vast forest sea, appeared in their vision. It was just as it had been that day, full of the marks of time and decay.

Around the tower, Gargoyles with ferocious faces and slightly folded gray wings were slumbering and crouching.

Thanks to the War Falcon's sharp eyes, Mu Yuan could see much more clearly than before. Even the lines of hair on the Gargoyles were perfectly visible.

The War Falcon perched on a branch, its pupils fixed.

Mu Yuan stared intently at the image, feeling something was off.

"These Gargoyles not only look a bit dilapidated, but they also seem... seem to have shrunk?"

He had specifically purchased basic information on Gargoyles before.

On it were pictures of Professional Grade and Elite Grade Gargoyles. Compared to those, the Gargoyles in front of him were a bit small, two and a half sizes smaller than a Gargoyle just entering the Professional Grade.

"Their level seems... not as high as I imagined?"

"It's also possible that these Gargoyles once had a decent level, but after slumbering for a long time, their energy drained, and their level continuously dropped."

"That's also quite reasonable. The Ruined Tower has clearly been here for a while."

Mu Yuan felt a stir of excitement, wanting to conquer this Ruined Tower that might contain valuable treasures – he couldn't let his treasures remain outside.

But he still had a somewhat Steady heart and temporarily held back.

He would wait a bit longer. At the very least, he needed to figure out the Gargoyles' level before doing anything.

The Ruined Tower was added to his conquest schedule, but other exploration plans remained unchanged.

Thanks to the War Falcon's reconnaissance, the territory's exploration efficiency significantly increased. The team could clear out one or two Monster groups whenever they went out.

Even after leaving enough time for Undead Bone to cultivate, the daily exploration income was still higher than before.

「Day 5: Territory income Soul Sand 246g, Random Remnant Souls 4, Two Star Goblin Spearman Remnant Soul 1, Crimson Blood Fruit, Abundant Fruit, and other materials a few.」

「Additionally, through the forum trading channel, obtained 6 Little Skeleton Remnant Souls... Forum trading requires shipping fees and deposits, it's ridiculously expensive. Resources shrink by half with one transaction, damn it!」

「Additionally++, had to sell some Soul Sand to exchange for Xuan Country Coins, otherwise I wouldn't have money to buy paid information on the forum... Money, money, money, needed everywhere. I'm still too poor.」

「Day 6: A full real-world day, income Soul Sand 303g, Random Remnant Souls 6, some of which have been sold, and exchanged for 4 Little Skeleton Remnant Souls and 1 Falcon Remnant Soul.」

In the evening, the sunlight outside the window slanted, casting a Golden veil over the room.

In another world, 35 skeletons of different professions were either patrolling, training, or felling trees... diligently producing Evolution Points.

The constantly appearing "+0.01" made Mu Yuan feel exceptionally pleased.

Thanks to the continuous increase in the number of skeletons and the successive conquest battles, the Skeleton Evolution Points had accumulated to 24.98 units.

It was time to spend them.

"With so many Evolution Points, I could completely evolve 5 Skeleton Warriors, or evolve all the Little Skeletons into Skeleton Soldiers, but..."

"I choose Undead Bone."

Thanks to 'Ye Man Shuang Tian' for the reward~
