Water, It's Spraying Out!
[Bond—Dark Goblin Tribe (Activated): When the number exceeds 15, all members' attacks inflict one stack of 'Shadow Burn'.]
[Dark Goblin Captain]
[Level: 8]
[Potential: Elite ★]
A group of Goblin, seemingly having formed a settlement, but posing no real threat.
"Push them down."
At Shen Xing's command, Hellscream into action.
This time, instead of rushing forward, he activated [Hope's Plume] and leaped into the air.
Immediately afterwards, he unleashed [Rift Heavy Strike], and his double-edged axe ignited with a ghostly green flame!
Like a burning Infernal descending from the sky, it slammed into the very center of the Goblin!
"Boom!!!"
A massive shockwave, carrying Infernal Flame, swept outwards, instantly knocking over swathes of enemies.
Divine soldiers descended from the heavens, their momentum unstoppable!
Handsome!
Shen Xing secretly praised him, "As expected of the number one general in my territory, well done!"
After Hellscream, only a few defeated soldiers remained on the field.
The orc infantry behind them swarmed forward and quickly dealt with the wave of enemies.
[Ding! You have successfully captured the quarry. You can now send workers to collect stone.]
Quarry +1.
"We'll bring half the workers from the logging camp over here in a bit, then we can start quarrying the stone."
Shen Xing thought to herself that today's harvest was quite substantial.
Not only did they activate seven or eight resource points, but they also captured a medium-sized logging camp and a small quarry, securing a stable source of resources for their territory.
He wanted to continue exploring, but the lamp oil was only one-fifth left.
"Xia... Wanyin, let's call it a day." Shen Xing was a little embarrassed to call her by her name, looking awkward.
"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow to show you around. There are still many resource points near your territory."
Xia Wanyin responded with a sound of agreement, then smiled at him and said, "You can just call me Wanyin."
Shen Xing was somewhat stunned, unsure how to respond.
Xia Wanyin noticed his embarrassment and laughed even more happily, like a little girl who had successfully pulled off a prank.
"Okay, I'll head back now."
The girl in the white dress turned around lightly, a bright smile playing on her lips.
"Spark, see you tomorrow."
She waved, as if saying goodbye to her best friend.
After saying this, he walked away into the distance, followed by a group of holy Light Spirit.
Like a goddess who exists only in a dream, she slowly disappeared into the depths of the thick fog, surrounded by her believers.
Shen Xing remained silent for a moment, then gradually withdrew his gaze.
Then, taking advantage of the last moments of the lantern's glow, he went to the lumberyard and sent 12 slave laborers to work at the quarry.
At the same time, an orc infantryman was left near each of the two resource points to supervise their work and also for protection.
After all, while these wilderness resource points won't be affected by the fog, they will still attract monsters from within it.
While a single orc infantryman cannot form a large-scale monster horde, they can hold out for a while until reinforcements arrive.
"Call..."
As the group stepped into the firelight, a wave of warmth washed over them, and they returned to their territory.
Shen Xing distributed Soul Stone to the orcs and archers, letting them absorb them slowly on their own, and then ended his day's work.
I took off my glasses, and my gaze returned to the rented room.
It was already past 11 p. m.
The entire Jiangcheng was shrouded in night, and the streets below were completely silent.
As usual, I opened my phone and ordered takeout, then browsed the forums for a while.
There are quite a few popular posts on it today.
"Any brothers near Shiluo Plains? My territory is being targeted by some England bastards, help!"
The New World Group has been officially established and is now recruiting numerous lords to join us. Our group will provide you with abundant contribution points, exclusive resources, detached villas, and more – the benefits are generous.
Good news! Fang Ping, Shanghai's strongest rising star, has broken through to the Master Realm today, adding another Master Rank expert to Hua Country!
Shocking! An unidentified creature, suspected to be a legendary dragon, has appeared in the ancient arena of the Weideng Kingdom...
These posts contain the hottest news items of the moment, and there are a lot of replies to them.
Shen Xing also clicked into each one to take a look and understand the situation.
When he came to his senses and glanced at the time, he was suddenly startled.
"Holy crap, it's already 2 a. m.!"
Startled, Shen Xing quickly closed the forum and then opened another learning software.
At three in the morning, the rented room returned to peace.
The next day.
Shen Xing got up and washed up as usual, then went downstairs and ordered a bowl of hot dry noodles for seven yuan.
Back in the bedroom, I placed a glass of water on the bedside table and put on my glasses.
"Mist Reincarnation, activate!"
The next second, a series of notification messages appeared in front of me.
[Your territory buildings: Basic residential buildings have been completed...]
[Your territory buildings...]
He looked around and saw that the territory had changed quite a bit again.
A row of brand-new wooden houses has appeared along the cobblestone path.
Moreover, it wasn't the black fire wind, but the Common log wind.
The level 3 Bonfire blazed brightly, the Moon Well emitted a soft, clear light, and the eight arrow towers stood majestically.
"Excellent, excellent, the territory is becoming more and more vibrant with life."
Shen Xing nodded in satisfaction, then connected his consciousness to the Flower of Mist and teleported the last item in.
"Call..."
The thick fog slowly dissipated, revealing a yellowed parchment in the palm of the hand.
[Well Construction Blueprint]
[Area: 8 square meters]
[Effect: Allows you to find a suitable location within your territory and dig a well.]
[Required Materials: Soul Stone *50, Stone*50, Wood*50]
(Note: The initial digging depth is 20 meters, depending on the terrain. Each additional meter of depth requires an additional 5 Soul Stone.)
"Does digging a well require so many materials?"
"And depending on the terrain, additional materials are required. What the heck?"
Shen Xing felt somewhat helpless; he already didn't have enough Soul Stone, and this was another considerable expense.
However, the water source problem definitely needs to be solved, so this resource allocation is necessary.
His gaze swept across the territory, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
Because he didn't know how deep he needed to dig to reach water.
Through this period of exploration, Shen Xing discovered that his territory was located in a plain.
Based on my limited geographical knowledge, in this kind of area, to dig out groundwater, you would have to dig at least 20 meters up.
Let's find a place to try it out first.
Shen Xing studied the blueprints, then pushed his wheelchair to the south side of the village and chose a relatively flat spot.
Clicking on the building interface reveals the outline of a well on the ground.
And as his gaze moved, the outline of the well also moved, displaying segments of information at the same time.
[Estimated excavation depth: 32 meters; construction time: 1 day and 12 hours...]
[Estimated excavation depth: 27 meters; construction time: 1 day and 6 hours...]
[Expected...]
"Huh? It can even display the digging depth in real time? That's quite convenient."
Shen Xing's mind raced, and another idea suddenly popped into her head.
This function can detect the exact depth of groundwater, so could it also be used for terrain surveying?
For example, a shallower water table indicates that the soil there is loose and suitable for cultivation.
If the groundwater level is extremely deep, it indicates that there are many layers of rock in the area, and there might even be some hidden mineral veins!
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and he planned to try it when he had the chance.
At this moment, Shen Xing patted his forehead again. "Wait, since this well consumes materials based on depth, I'll have the beastmen dig a certain distance first, and then build upon that foundation."
"Wouldn't that save a lot of materials?"
Chapter 44: The water gushed out!
Shen Xing immediately summoned a squad of orc infantry and gave each of them a shovel and a hoe.
