Surveying the Second Candidate Site
High-energy chapter 120: Survey of the Second Alternate Site (Please subscribe) updated! Read now:
Along the way, the uncle deliberately used illusion magic to conceal his movements and flew cautiously. After three days of flying, with a half-day rest in between, they finally arrived at the second alternative location.
As is customary, after arriving at the second alternative location, Kong Wenxuan immediately estimated the approximate distance from "Demon-Suppressing Pass".
It should be more than four thousand li, but less than five thousand li.
In terms of distance, this second alternative location is undoubtedly very suitable.
Four thousand miles is neither close nor too far. Even if the Ya Household wanted to expand southward from the direction of "Demon-Suppressing Pass" later, four thousand miles would be enough for them to expand.
Moreover, after the Kong Household occupied this place, they had enough space to expand their Kong Household and enlarge their lands.
In addition, four thousand miles is not too far. If you drive the Feather Boat fast, you can reach "Demon-Suppressing Pass" in four or five days and conduct various transactions and exchanges with "Cuckoo Town".
Even if the Kong Household were to develop a road from here to "Demon-Suppressing Pass" in the future, it would take a caravan about ten days to travel the more than four thousand miles.
In the future, the distance will not be too far and the road too dangerous, so that many caravans will not dare to come to their Kong Household's "Peacock County" to trade and exchange, thus making the Kong Household too isolated from the outside world.
Therefore, in terms of distance, the second alternative site had already begun to rise in Kong Wenxuan's mind, surpassing the first alternative site.
Next, we need to carefully examine the terrain, the distribution of Demon Beast, and the distribution of resources and spiritual objects in this second candidate site.
However, having learned from the experience at the first alternative site, this time Uncle Kong Yushuo did not take him directly to the second alternative site, nor did he go directly to check the various resource sites.
Instead, he led Kong Wenxuan to carefully explore the second alternative site, confirming that no enemies had set traps or ambushed them before they confidently entered the site.
The geography and topography of this second alternative site were exactly as Kong Wenxuan had seen on the 3D map in his Lineage: a Crescent Moon Lake embraced a mountain range, nestled against the mountain and beside the water, with surprisingly beautiful scenery.
The second alternative location, the place that produces resources and spiritual objects, is mainly located in this mountain and lake. As for the plains, hills, and flatlands outside the mountain and lake, the area is small and there are basically no spiritual objects or resources produced.
Therefore, Kong Wenxuan and his companion went directly to the mountain range surrounded by Crescent Moon Lake.
This mountain range stretches for dozens of miles and has four peaks, but unfortunately, they are not distributed according to the five elements. The highest peak is nearly a thousand feet high, but it is not as high as the first alternative site, Lone Peak.
However, because of this, there are no Third Tier Demon Beast inhabiting this mountain range. The strongest of them are only a few Second Tier Demon Beast, which occupy a few resource points and places where spiritual creatures are born.
Among them, the Second Tier earth-elemental spiritual material "Shoushan Stone" mine that my uncle had specifically mentioned is located in the highest mountain peak. On it dwells a Second Tier giant bear Demon Beast that can condense a body of "Stone Skin," which has amazing defensive power and incredible strength.
My uncle, Kong Yushuo, had fought this giant bear before. However, even with his First Tier Law Artifact, the "Crimson Fire Divine Sword," he was unable to break through the bear's "Stone Skin" talent, and thus failed to kill it.
After simply driving the other party away and inspecting the resources and spiritual objects produced on the highest peak, they discovered the "Shoushan Stone" mine.
Of course, with the "White Metal Divine Sword," Second Tier Spirit Artifact that Kong Wenxuan has now forged, which can be refined into Refining the Sword into Threads, let alone the giant bear's "Stone Skin" talent, even if the bear had metal skin, he could use "Refining the Sword into Threads" to cut the opponent in half and kill them on the spot.
However, Kong Wenxuan had no intention of killing the Second Tier giant bear demon Demon Beast. Just like his uncle, he simply drove it away temporarily and checked the situation on the highest peak.
They found the "Shoushan Stone" mine that their uncle had mentioned, and also discovered several resource points on the highest peak where Spirit Plant, trees, and spirit medicine grew.
Kong Wenxuan nodded in satisfaction, collected some sample resources, and put them into a specially prepared jade box, intending to take them back to his Lineage for the clan members who specialize in studying various cultivation techniques to study carefully.
Afterwards, the two explored the entire mountain range again, and successively discovered some resource points and spiritual items on the other three peaks. There were First Tier spirit gold mines, as well as a lot of Spirit Plant, spiritual trees, and spirit medicine.
It can be said that, apart from not finding a suitable source of fire-elemental spiritual materials or an underground fire vein, this mountain range alone was already quite satisfactory to Kong Wenxuan.
The resources and spiritual objects produced there already surpassed those of the plains and hills surrounding the first candidate site.
Of course, while inspecting the various parts of the mountain range at the second alternative location, the two encountered several Second Tier Demon Beast.
This place is more than 4,000 li away from "Demon-Suppressing Pass", which is relatively deep in the southern mountains, so the number of Second Tier Demon Beast has increased.
The various teams that served at "Demon-Suppressing Pass" could only operate within a few hundred miles outside the Demon-Suppressing Pass, surveying and searching for resources and spiritual objects. This was because they frequently encountered Second Tier Demon Beast when they ventured deep into the southern mountains, which were beyond the capabilities of those service teams.
Of course, with Kong Wenxuan's current strength, they were able to easily kill several Second Tier Demon Beast.
However, the two did not kill these Second Tier Demon Beast, but left them in the mountain range.
After all, this was the Kong Household's chosen territory. If they killed these Second Tier Demon Beast now but didn't have time to keep an eye on these spiritual lands, resource points, and spiritual objects, they might easily be "picked up" by cultivators from all sides who were roaming the mountains, looking for any opportunity to scavenge and collect resources and spiritual objects.
Therefore, it would be better to leave these Second Tier Demon Beast in the mountains to help the Kong Household guard resource points and spiritual objects.
It wouldn't be too late to kill them after the Kong Household has truly decided to establish this area as their Lineage territory.
In any case, Kong Wenxuan and his companion were confident enough that keeping these Second Tier Demon Beast around wouldn't lead to any unexpected or uncontrollable changes.
Finally, the two descended the mountain range and arrived at the Crescent Moon Lake that embraced the mountain.
This lake is quite large, covering dozens of miles, like a small ocean.
In truth, even Uncle Kong Yushuo wasn't entirely sure how many Demon Beast were in Crescent Moon Lake, or how many of Demon Beast were Third Tier. He had only seen one Third Tier Demon Beast, the "Stone Disc Turtle," in the lake.
Then, it was deduced that the Crescent Moon Lake, spanning dozens of miles, could only support one Third Tier Demon Beast, the "Stone Disc Turtle," so it was assumed that there were no other Third Tier Demon Beast in the lake.
After all, he couldn't go into the lake to thoroughly investigate it.
