The Too-Good Flying Peak
After listening to the clan chief's description of the first "Lone Peak Plain," Kong Wenxuan nodded and then looked at the second place.
The clan leader continued to activate the "Illusory Jade Slip," and the three-dimensional map that appeared in the air changed again. The originally enlarged "Lone Peak Plain" and the surrounding terrain quickly shrank, while the second marked area quickly enlarged.
This second terrain feature is one surrounded by mountains and water.
Among them is a large lake, a rarity in the mountains, shaped like a crescent moon, embracing a mountain range.
There is a large flat area on the shore of this lake. If the Kong Household were to conquer this place, they could build a "Peacock County Seat" by the mountains and lake. This large lake and the mountains surrounding it could then serve as the Kong Household's territory for development.
The clan chief began to describe the situation in the mountain and lake area. The mountain range was inhabited by a large number of First Tier Demon Beast and a few Second Tier Demon Beast, but there were no Third Tier Demon Beast.
My uncle once explored deep into the mountains and has now confirmed that there is a Second Tier Shoushan Stone vein in the mountains that can produce a lot of First Tier and Second Tier earth-elemental spiritual materials, which can greatly make up for the Lineage's lack of earth-elemental spiritual materials.
The mountain range is lush with vegetation and produces common Spirit Plant, materials, and spirit medicine.
As for the large lake nearby, a Third Tier Demon Beast, the Stone Disc Turtle, was coiled up there, so my uncle had not ventured deep inside to investigate.
However, the fact that it can raise a Third Tier Demon Beast is enough to demonstrate the abundance of resources and spiritual objects produced in this great lake.
At the very least, this large lake should be able to produce Third Tier spiritual water.
If the Lineage can conquer this place and build "Peacock County Seat", then when someone in the Lineage successfully advances to the Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage, this Third Tier spiritual water will undoubtedly be put to good use.
As for the various First Tier- and Second Tier fish, shrimp, crabs, and turtles that grow in the lake, they can be directly raised as aquatic products to increase the Kong Household's resources and wealth.
Of course, if the Kong Household chooses this place as their settlement, the main problem will be dealing with the Third Tier Stone Disc Turtle Demon Beast that occupies the lake.
Finally, Kong Wenxuan turned his gaze to the third marked location.
The clan leader continued to activate the "Illusory Jade Slip," shrinking the second marked location and enlarging the third marked location.
This third terrain feature is far more complex than the previous two.
Within this small piece of land, there are five mountain peaks standing apart, and the distribution of these five peaks is roughly in accordance with the five directions and five elements.
The reason for this is that one of the mountains is a "Flying Peak". It was the final burst of energy from the Fifth Tier Fifth Tier Demon Race the Bi Household's Nascent Soul True Lord killed the Demon Race. It shattered a mountain range deeper and further away in the southern mountains, and a large number of broken peaks, mountains, boulders and other debris flew in all directions.
This has resulted in numerous Flying Peak and Flying Stone in the mountains to the south.
The third marked location shown on this 3D map is an example of this situation. Originally, the area should have consisted of only four mountain peaks surrounding a large number of lower peaks, mountain ranges, and hills.
It could be said that this place was originally completely unsuitable for expanding territory and building a county town. After all, the terrain was entirely composed of mountains, peaks, and hills, without even a single flat area stretching for dozens of miles. Even if it were conquered, it would not be suitable for building a "Peacock County Seat."
However, a "Flying Peak" fell from the sky and landed right in the middle of the area surrounded by four peaks. It not only brought Five Peaks, but also shattered and collapsed most of the low peaks, mountain ranges, and hills that were originally distributed in this middle area.
This has resulted in a relatively flat area being largely transformed from the originally complex and mountainous central region.
If the Kong Household could take over this place, and clear and level the remaining peaks, mountains, hills, and the shattered and cracked land, they should be able to clear enough land to build a "Peacock County Seat".
Moreover, these are all minor issues.
Most importantly, these five mountain peaks are roughly distributed in five directions and five elements, which is very suitable for the Kong Household's current inheritance of the "Five Elements True Scripture". If they can take this place, it will be much more convenient for the Kong Household to set up a protective formation to protect "Peacock County Seat".
Within the transmission of the "Five Elements True Scripture," there are numerous array formations arranged according to the five directions and five elements.
By simply taking a few formations and making some modifications and arrangements to these five mountain peaks, we can easily set up the necessary Five Elements Formation!
At that time, it will not only better support the Lineage members in cultivating the "Five Elements True Scripture," but also allow the Lineage members to better unleash the power of the "Five Elements Formation," which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!
Therefore, compared to the previous two alternative locations, Kong Wenxuan immediately set his sights on this third place.
However, the fact that the clan chief placed this place last probably indicates that there is some major problem here that the Kong Household is unlikely to be able to solve.
Sure enough, the clan chief pointed to "Flying Peak" in the center of the map and said in a deep voice, "This place is good in every way, but it's just too good."
"Especially this ' Flying Peak,' which flew in from deeper within the southern mountains, was originally a mountain near the cave abode of the Demon Race race attempting to break through to the Fifth Tier. Its Spiritual Qi is so dense that it can even grow Fourth Tier spiritual materials, Spirit Plant, and other spiritual objects."
"Therefore, your uncle Yushuo has seen it from afar several times; this ' Flying Peak ' has attracted a large number of Demon Beast that linger around it."
"Only the four peaks surrounding this ' Flying Peak ' are home to two or three thousand different kinds of Demon Beast. As for how many Demon Beast reside on the ' Flying Peak ' itself, located in the middle?"
"How many Third Tier Demon Beast are there, or even Fourth Tier Demon Beast? And are there even any Demon Race among them? He wasn't sure, nor could he get close enough to investigate."
"Therefore, even with Senior Ya Zhaoying's promise to help our Kong Household once, we might not be able to take this place."
Upon hearing this, Kong Wenxuan's face also showed a solemn expression.
Although he hadn't been to the scene yet, based on the information provided by the clan chief, he could already imagine the trouble that might ensue.
Indeed, "Flying Peak" is good. Its resources, Spiritual Qi, and spiritual lands are definitely far superior to the surrounding mountains. But precisely because of this, it will attract more and more Demon Beast Demon Beast to reside there.
If there are indeed Fourth Tier Demon Beast lurking there, then even if Ya Zhaoying takes action, it will be useless; she still won't be able to take them down.
Or, even if there aren't any Fourth Tier Demon Beast lurking around, just a few more Third Tier Demon Beast would still cause trouble.
Ya Zhaoying agreed to help the Kong Household once, but she couldn't expect them to kill four or five Third Tier Demon Beast each time!
Kong Wenxuan considered various options before finally saying, "Let's not make a final decision yet. I'll personally go to the southern mountains and inspect all three locations before making a decision."
The clan chief and the others nodded in agreement, having no objections.
