Wind Spirit Stone, the Astonished Ouroboros Caravan!

"Rippling..."

The wheelchair rolled through the basement, the sound gradually fading into the distance.

The girl stood there blankly, still in a state of confusion and helplessness.

A moment later, she stretched out her palm, where there was a black mushroom mark, emitting a faint black mist.

"Mother... he's... a good person..."

The girl murmured softly, then clenched her fist again.

Then, after tidying up his clothes, he picked up his bamboo basket and went back to work beside the mycelium.

A dozen minutes later, Shen Xing had leisurely surveyed the area along the edge of the firelight, and had basically grasped the current situation of the territory.

To date, the original outer city wall of the territory has been completely demolished, and a considerable amount of materials have been recovered.

In addition, 1,600 new arrow towers have been completed and upgraded to level 2, and are now Metamorphosis into level 3.

In addition, the new city walls have all been upgraded to level 3 [Alloy City Wall] and are currently being upgraded to level 4 [Black Crystal City Wall].

However, upgrading a building of this level takes three to four days.

If we also consider the upgrade time for level 5 [Wall of Chaos], it's clearly too late before the Myriad Worlds Arena opens.

Shen Xing originally planned to wait until this expansion of his territory was completed before facing that calamity.

Now it seems there's no need for me to wait any longer.

"I'll go use that drop of [Ancient Tree of Life Essence] in a bit and see what this so-called calamity is all about."

He made a quick decision and was just about to turn on his communication device to call Leina over.

Just then, a green-skinned orc came running over.

"Boss, a convoy has arrived at the gate, and they say they know you."

"The racing team? I know them?"

Shen Xing hesitated for a moment, then quickly realized what was going on. "I understand, let's go together."

After saying that, he pushed his wheelchair and headed south towards the territory.

He moved forward, glancing occasionally at the orcs following beside him.

The orc noticed his lord's gaze and asked suspiciously, "Boss, did you get sand in your eyes?"

"..." Shen Xing shook his head. "It's alright, let's keep going."

"Yes, boss!"

The orc nodded respectfully, then quickly walked in front of Shen Xing.

Watching the guy's retreating figure, Shen Xing sighed, thinking to himself that these orcs really weren't very bright and had no sense of propriety at all.

Seeing him in a wheelchair, they didn't even bother to come over and help push him.

Of course, the 'Flame Dragon Wheelchair' that Logan modified can now move forward automatically without being pushed.

Lord Shen just felt that this would be more impressive and give him a more imposing presence when he met the convoy later.

Pity.

He withdrew his hands and Thought Control the wheelchair, propelling it forward swiftly.

Before long, they arrived at the southern city wall area of the territory.

As soon as we passed through the city gate, we saw a large number of people in the open space.

Dozens of carriages were lined up in a row, each with two tall pack animals in front of it and hundreds of guards on either side.

On the breastplates of these guards was engraved a serpentine symbol with its head and tail intertwined.

They were from the Ouroboros Chamber of Commerce.

"Tap tap... tap tap..."

The clear sound of hooves grew louder as a white horse galloped past the crowd and slowly approached Shen Xing.

A dashing figure sat atop the horse.

She was dressed in light armor, with a sword at her waist, and sat in a proper posture.

Looking up, there was a beautiful face that was young yet possessed a touch of heroism.

"Lord Shen Xing, it's been a long time." Lila leaped down from her horse and greeted him with a smile.

"It hasn't been too long," Shen Xing replied with a smile. "I remember it was less than half a month since Vice President Lila left last time."

"It's not really that long," Lila said, approaching with a polite smile. "But that's for other people."

"For Lord Shen Xing, half a month is equivalent to half a lifetime of development for others."

Shen Xing was slightly taken aback, realizing what she meant, and shook her head. "Miss Lila, you flatter me."

"I'm not exaggerating," Lila smiled slightly. "I remember when I left last time, your territory wasn't nearly as large as it is now."

"In just half a month, the area has expanded more than tenfold?"

"And... there are even so many amazing buildings now."

Her tone was full of emotion, and a hint of barely suppressed shock.

As the vice president of the Ouroboros Chamber of Commerce, he began trading with caravans at the age of thirteen, traveling through this dangerous, Land of Mist.

Over the years, Lila has traveled all over the world and has seen a lot.

But this was the first time she had ever seen such a magical territory.

Not only is the development speed beyond reason, but every time I come here, I see some amazing buildings.

She couldn't help but raise her head and look at the full moon overhead.

Under the dark sky, thick fog filled the surroundings, except for the area around the full moon, which was clear and bright.

You can even faintly see a figure on the moon, repeatedly chopping at a tree.

The dull thud of felling wood echoed intermittently, stirring the soul.

Shen Xing humbly replied, "I've been quite lucky lately and have had a Xiao Xiao opportunity, so I've expanded my territory."

He paused, then asked, "Miss Lila, is there something you wish to discuss with us?"

"There are indeed two things I want to discuss with you."

Lila snapped out of her reverie and her expression turned serious, "The first thing is about what we discussed last time—setting up your territory as a trading post for the Ouroboros Chamber of Commerce."

"I have reported this to headquarters, but for some reason, I have encountered some obstacles."

"Obstruction?" Shen Xing asked, puzzled.

"Yes." Lila frowned slightly. "Because our Ouroboros Chamber of Commerce's president passed away a few years ago, leading to the growth of internal factions and chaotic management."

"As the president's eldest daughter and the nominal first successor, I will inherit the position of president in the future."

"But there was a group of people within the chamber of commerce who were unwilling to see me rise to power, so they targeted me at every turn."

"Even the plan to establish a station in your territory has been temporarily shelved."

"Although I have reported some of the situation in your territory, headquarters does not believe my explanation."

"So, headquarters will send a team to investigate after some time."

"The main considerations are whether your territory's size, facilities, armed forces, and so on, qualify you to become a partner of the Chamber of Commerce."

"But with the strength of your territory, it fully meets, and may even far exceed, the standard."

She sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Shen Xing, I've made such a small matter so troublesome. Ultimately, I'm just too useless..."

Shen Xing nodded in realization, understanding the whole story.

It seems that Vice President Lila is not in a good position within the Chamber of Commerce either.

Someone didn't want her to inherit the position of president smoothly, so they targeted her, and this eventually spread to her.

However, it's just sending someone to conduct an assessment; it's nothing serious.

"It's alright, I understand Miss Lila's difficulties."

Shen Xing still wore a gentle smile, "Just as you said before, in this cruel world, we are all powerless to choose our own path."

Lila was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then her tightly furrowed brows relaxed. "Thank you for your understanding, Lord Shen Xing."

"However, to express our apologies, we have brought you a shipment of goods, which is the second thing we wanted to discuss with you."

"Goods?" Shen Xing's interest was piqued. "What are they?"

After all, the Ouroboros Chamber of Commerce had sent him a large number of Flame Lizardman when they passed by last time, and each of them was a talent in the field of forging.

Even those long-armed laborers were all skilled builders.

So when she heard that there was another batch of goods, Shen Xing couldn't help but feel excited.

Lila didn't answer, but looked behind her. "Push it up."

As her voice rang out, the convoy gradually parted to the sides, revealing a large truck in the middle.

On the nearly four-meter-long cart, there was a huge object covered with a black tarpaulin; it was unknown what was inside.

Then, a dozen guards walked to the side of the cart, pressed their hands on the cart, and began to pull together!

"Drink it!"

This thing looked extremely heavy, and even the guards, who were all at the second or third tier of strength, found it very difficult to handle when they unleashed their power together.

At least the truck started moving.

Soon, it was pushed to the foot of the city wall with a "creaking" sound.

Then, under Shen Xing's watchful eye, Lila went to the truck and grabbed a corner of the tarpaulin.

"Whoosh—"

The tarpaulin was lifted, and a sudden gust of wind blew the huge tarpaulin dozens of meters into the air before it disappeared.

Chapter 296: The Wind Spirit Stone, the Shocking Ouroboros Caravan!

When the wind died down, a huge rock appeared on the cart.

Its height is at least five meters, its surface is smooth, its texture is uneven, and its overall color is that of jade.

From a distance, it looks like a huge piece of jade.

"What is this?" Shen Xing asked curiously.

"This is the Wind Spirit Stone," Lila explained softly. "It automatically condenses wind elemental particles in the air, giving birth to special creatures: Wind Spirit."

After she finished speaking, she gently waved her hand, and a breeze swept by.
