So Big, So Fierce, So Many Resources Earned!
Hellscream respectfully replied, "My lord, I've already reached level 7, and I should be able to reach level 8 tonight!"
"Very good, keep up the good work and strive to reach level 9 as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
Hellscream solemnly, then sat down cross-legged again and silently absorbed the Soul Stone.
Next, as usual, Shen Xing used [Life-Sacrifice Evolution] to upgrade the skeleton archer from yesterday to Elite ★★.
Then, he went to the west side of the village and took a look at the well that had been built the day before.
After a day and a night of settling, the well water has gradually become clear.
The orcs also placed a wooden bucket nearby with a rope attached to the end, which served as a makeshift water-fetching tool.
On the other side, the sacred Moon Well still radiates a soft, clear light.
After a night of production, a shallow layer of spring water had accumulated at the bottom, radiating a sacred glow.
Shen Xing took out several simple water bags made of wolf skin and filled them with about 2 liters of 'Moon Spring Water'.
This way, if someone is injured while exploring, they can receive timely treatment.
Turning his head, looking at the empty Soul Stone and the dozens of soldiers staring at him expectantly, Shen Xing sighed.
"We need to continue exploring, otherwise we won't be able to support such a large territory."
Before he could even assemble his exploration team, Xia Wanyin had already sent him a voice message.
"Shen Xing, when are you coming? I'm already here, same old place."
Shen Xing thought to himself that this woman was a monster-hunting maniac, already waiting there so early.
"Okay, I'll be there in a bit."
After sending a message, he led his two generals, Gorehowl and Da Hou, along with 10 orc infantrymen, out of the territory.
Hellscream was left behind to absorb Soul Stone and level up, while also taking on the task of defending the territory.
As for where he got the Soul Stone... it was because Shen Xing had a secret weapon and gave him special treatment.
After all, Hellscream is Shen Xing's favorite son, and he hopes that Boss One Star as soon as possible. It's normal to show some favoritism occasionally.
However, before heading to the Blackwater River, Shen Xing first went to the logging camp and quarry to distribute food to the group of slave laborers.
"Thank you, my generous and merciful lord!"
The lame Heishi led the other laborers to kneel on the ground, their faces full of piety.
Shen Xing nodded slightly, his voice authoritative. "As long as you work hard, you will have enough food every day."
"When the territory develops in the future, we will build houses to shelter you from the wind and rain, and those who perform well may even gain Transcendent powers."
Upon hearing the final promise, the laborers' eyes shone with intense longing, and they excitedly kowtowed in worship.
"Yes, great lord, we will certainly work hard!"
[Because of your generous promise, all laborers' work efficiency will increase by 20% for 48 hours.]
Shen Xing was slightly taken aback, not expecting that his casual words could trigger a buff effect.
That's good, and these laborers won't even think about running away anymore.
After leaving the quarry, he placed several [Eye of Truth] around the perimeter of his territory.
These eyes are amazing; once they're stuck in the ground, they quickly blend into the air, as if they don't exist.
Add to that the thick fog swirling around, and spotting these eyes would be virtually impossible.
After making the arrangements, Shen Xing led his team to the Blackwater River.
Xia Wanyin was already waiting at the usual spot.
She wore an elegant long dress and stood gracefully, like a fairy who had accidentally wandered into the mortal world, completely out of place in the dark and oppressive environment around her.
Shen Xing glanced around and noticed that her army of Light Spirit seemed to have grown considerably.
The level of all creatures has been raised by one, and two more Elite creatures have been added.
"Good morning, Shen Xing." Xia Wanyin greeted the darkness ahead with her eyes closed.
Shen Xing responded, saying, "Let's begin."
As usual, they placed the bait on the shore, then led their troops to hide behind the pile of boulders.
A few minutes later, a sound of water breaking was heard.
A group of Dark Naga swam swiftly toward the shore.
"Superior!"
Shen Xing gave the order.
Gorehowl and Da Hou, the two violent freaks, instantly charged towards the enemy like wild beasts unleashed from their cages.
A giant gray wolf, its hooves crackling with red lightning, charged into the enemy ranks with Gorehowl. A long-handled axe swung repeatedly, like a scythe reaping lives, sending swarms of Dark Naga flying.
On the other side, the double-axe berserker Da Hou and charged rapidly through the enemy ranks. His two thick arms were like tree stumps, and each axe blow carried unparalleled power, cutting down a large number of enemies.
With Xia Wanyin's Light Spirit archers continuously firing arrows from behind, the battle was basically stress-free.
End the battle, then continue luring monsters, clearing the battlefield, and repeat this process.
In the blink of an eye, five hours had passed.
Because the oil in the lantern was about to run out, the two had to end their monster-hunting adventure for the day.
Next came the most exciting part: the division of the spoils.
[Received: Soul Stone *341]
[Received: 374 Vinar Silver Coin]
[Received: 115 Fragmented Common Soul]
[Gained: 13 Fragmented Elite Soul]
Awesome!
The number of Soul Stone harvested today is even greater than yesterday.
If this continues for a few days, the territory won't have to worry about Soul Stone for a while.
Shen Xing was almost reluctant to complete the task, after all, the rewards were just too high.
"Alright, let's go back first, we'll come again tomorrow," Shen Xing said to the girl in the white dress beside her.
"Mmm!" Xia Wanyin nodded solemnly, looking very expectant.
Then, Shen Xing ordered the orcs to continue cleaning up the battlefield, throwing the corpses of the Dark Naga into the Blackwater River.
"Thump... thump..."
A series of splashing sounds rang out, and it quickly sank to the bottom of the river.
The two teams headed in different directions and soon disappeared into the thick fog.
Shortly after they left, a pair of eerie green vertical pupils lit up in the previously pitch-black river.
Chapter 50: So big, so fierce, so many resources coming in!
Half an hour later, Shen Xing led his troops back to his territory.
He then distributed the Soul Stone he had earned that day to the troops in his territory for them to absorb.
And so they repeated the steps, brushing for two consecutive days.
During this period, Shen Xing also used [Life-Sacrifice Evolution] to upgrade Little Skeleton Black Arrow to Elite Three Stars and Dire Wolf to Elite One Star.
They activated the skills [Dark Arrow Rain] and [Wolf Pack Call] respectively.
The former, as its name suggests, can unleash 2-3 waves of arrows, dealing corrosive and penetrating damage to enemies.
Once activated, the latter can summon 3-5 wolf phantoms to assist in battle.
Overall, these are all very practical skills.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, which was the thirteenth day after Shen Xing entered the game.
Today they went to the Blackwater River early in the morning again and did a great job.
If it weren't for the limited time available for exploration, they would all want to spend twelve hours a day here.
"They're here again, and there are quite a few this time." Xia Wanyin hid behind a boulder, her eyes closed, sensing the movements coming from the riverbank.
"Knew."
Shen Xing, seated in his wheelchair, raised his arm and shouted, "Gorehowl! Da Hou! Charge!"
"Waaaaagh!!"
The two orcs roared and charged out like wild beasts released from their cages.
The wolf riders Charge in succession, like a sharp dagger, breaking apart the enemy's formation.
The double-axe berserker transforms into a spinning top, unleashing Bladestorm in a frenzy of spinning.
As for where he got his [Bladestorm] skill, it's obviously from stealing Hellscream.
After all, soldiers with good aptitude have a certain learning ability.
Although he has only learned the basics so far and has not yet grasped the essence of 'Bladestorm'.
But that guy Da Hou is the smartest.
Relying on his strength and speed, he used brute force to imitate Hellscream motion, insisting that he was performing the authentic Bladestorm.
"Hahaha! I really am a genius! I've mastered [Bladestorm] so quickly, and the spinning time is even longer! Even Hellscream can't compare to me!"
Da Hou as he looked around at the corpses scattered on the ground, a proud smile on his face.
The battle ended, and as usual, the battlefield was cleaned up.
Just then, Da Hou came over, wielding his twin axes, and reported, "Boss, I found something strange on the back of a giant Naga!"
"What is that?" Shen Xing asked, puzzled.
"A black stone, it looks like it's still alive!"
"A living stone?" Shen Xing's interest was piqued. "Let me see it!"
"Yes!"
Da Hou and opened his right hand, revealing a black object about the size of an adult's palm, flat and round like a clam shell.
Shen Xing's lips twitched. "Isn't this a clam? What kind of rock is this?!"
