Of course, the depth here refers to going deep into the area where the crystal beast is active.

Further into the forest, a hundred Gravetooth squads wouldn't be enough for them to die......

Sure enough, the thieves didn't really come and attack the convoy without a long eye.

After a long walk in the jungle, the convoy finally hit a relatively wide and flat road. After driving on this deserted road, it means that it is not far from Kishiyama Castle.

With this skill, Hu Fan and Mo Dye introduced the shore mountain city to Qin Lan.

Shore Mountain City, backed by the Great Forest of Crystal Beasts 'Secret Forest'.

The Whisper Forest is a complete forest of crystal beasts, unlike the Gugen Forest, which is infested with wild beasts. There are many crystal beasts, and there is no shortage of beast kings among crystal beasts, and it is a dangerous forest. Along with the danger, of course, is the abundant resources in the Whispering Forest!

Compared to the less resource-rich Gugen Forest (tentatively, as the Gugen Forest has not yet been developed), the Cryptic Forest is full of abundant resources. Strange trees, huge mines, all kinds of strange materials...... And most importantly, the crystal beast resources!

Although the crystal beast is accompanied by danger, it can be said to be the most important resource of all resources. Crystal beasts are inherently the best materials for crafting equipment, and hedrons can be used as a source of energy for craftsmanship. Moreover, there are some special mutant crystal beasts that are born with different kinds of attributes.

So—

Compared to the 'uncivilized' Gugen Forest, there are many cities around the Whisper Forest, which live on the abundant resources of the Whisper Forest.

And Kishiyama Castle.

It is the best of these cities.

First of all, it's in an excellent location.

The shore mountain city is built on the top of the mountain, and the terrain is higher, even if the crystal beast tide breaks out, with the help of the higher terrain, it can be easily resisted.

Secondly, the location of Kishiyama Castle is rich in resources. There are many crystal beasts, and it is a natural playground for the beast hunting team. Therefore, most of the beast hunters in this vicinity used Kishiyama Castle as their base for their activities, formed the Orc Hunter Guild, issued tasks, and shared news.

Because of the unique geographical location of Shore Mountain City, the surrounding small cities rely on Shore Mountain City to survive. We purchase materials from Kishiyama Castle and process them in our own castle. Or to provide a second base for the activities of the hunters, to facilitate their hunting operations.

Beast hunters gather here to hunt crystal beasts and gather various special materials. In order to buy fresh materials hunted first-hand, some large chambers of commerce have opened branches in Kishiyama Castle, and independent traveling merchants also use Kishiyama Castle as a base for their activities. Make a living by reselling the materials of Kishiyama Castle -

All in all.

With Kishiyama Castle as the core.

The city located within the Secret Whisper Forest has formed a relatively mature system.

The Gugan Forest and the Whisper Forest are bordered.

But compared to the more prosperous Whisper Forest City Circle, the Gugen Forest is too bleak.

After learning about the more mature ecosystem of the Secret Whisper Forest, Qin Lan didn't have any envy.

On the contrary, it is precisely because of the undeveloped state of the Gugen Forest that it gives Yuancheng an opportunity for development.

Perhaps resources such as crystal beasts and special materials are not as abundant as the Secret Whisper Forest. Because the natural ecological environment of the Secret Whisper Forest is suitable for the survival of crystal beasts.

But Gugan Forest must also have its strengths.

It's just not developed.

Qin Lan did not lose confidence, but became more sufficient.

It's like a grand elephant in troubled times.

Everyone has the opportunity to dominate the world, not to mention, Yuancheng still has him, the city god.

The current state of Gugen Forest is the soil that Qin Lan dreams of-

Of course, there are also many drawbacks. For example, the transportation is inconvenient, and the products of Yuancheng cannot be quickly sold to other cities. Everything needs to be planned by Qin Lan himself.

Yuancheng is already close to Anshan City. The area of the Gugen Forest is not large, but Yuancheng is also considered to be on the edge of the Gugen Forest, if the location is a little more remote, with the intricate terrain of the Gugen Forest, Yuancheng may no longer exist now.

On the sixth day after leaving Motojo, the convoy finally arrived at Kishiyama Castle.

If it weren't for the relatively flat road behind, this time would have been extended by two more days.

It's just a distance of 150 kilometers, and it takes six days.

Just think about it and see how difficult the path in the forest is.

If there were a direct road, this time would be drastically shortened -

Qin Lan hadn't felt the feeling of traveling for a long time for a long time, which made him a little tired.

Twenty thousand years ago, this distance of one hundred and fifty kilometers seemed to be only a slight step for a powerful warrior. But now the aura is gone, one hundred and fifty kilometers, as far away as the two ends of the world.

He couldn't help but think that the land of wood spirits was thousands of miles in radius, that is, five thousand kilometers.

At this speed, even if a bright avenue connecting the two sides is built, how long will it take to travel by horse-drawn carriage alone?

And the land of wood spirits, in this huge world, is just a faint chestnut. If drawn on a map, the Wood Spirit Land may be just a small circle on a large map......

"Ah......h

Qin Lan couldn't help but sigh.

He hadn't noticed the problem before.

According to this calculation.

The location of the Dragon Teng Country is a hundred thousand miles away from the land of the Wood Spirit!

Ten times the length of the ends of the Wood Spirit Land.

That will come to the Year of the Monkey......

"Wait a minute!"

Qin Lan was suddenly stunned.

He remembered that Er Niu was from a certain region near the Dragon Teng Country. It's just that Erniu was too young at that time, and he couldn't ask any valuable information from his mouth.

100,000 miles...... Moreover, Yuancheng is located in a corner of the land of wood spirits, and there is also a considerable distance.

How did he come to the Land of Wood Spirits and then flee to Yuan City?

This point was kept in Qin Lan's heart. After that, you have to ask Erniu, a distance of 100,000 miles, maybe Erniu approached the land of Muling when he was being squeezed by people as child labor. But it's also a terrifying distance in today's world.

"Hu Fan, how do orc hunters usually hurry?" Qin Lan asked.

"It's usually with the help of equipment and some tools, and you move around the jungle. This is also the most convenient for orcs, much faster than a carriage, but it can't carry too much weight. Hu Fan replied, "Most orc hunters use this method, and if they need to go far away, they will buy those expensive mobile tools from the craftsman city. However, if they are not particularly needed, orcs will not buy those expensive tools. ”

"Because those tools are consumables, if their durability is depleted, even the craftsmen who made them will not be able to repair them. Hu Fan said, "If it is equipped with something that can be used for a long time, if it is more expensive, you can also grit your teeth and buy it, after all, it is a necessity, but a tool for movement...... It's better to grit your teeth and spend a little more time. ”

Qin Lan nodded, he could also understand.

Do you use tools for moving......

"Beast hunters generally have their own strongholds. Even if you want to enjoy the chic, you will go to the nearby bustling city. "So in general, there is no need to buy those expensive tools." ”

"What about the caravan?" Qin Lan asked, due to the constraints of the horses' natural structure, even if Qin Lan produced some more elaborate vests to assist them in running, the horses' speed would not become particularly fast.

And people are different.

There are many different moving techniques that can be done with the help of a variety of subtle tools.

But the horses don't!

If the horse also has the wisdom to match that of a human, then the horse will become a sperm.

"Generally, horses are used to ......," Hu Fan said, "but some wealthy chambers of commerce or large cities will use crystal beasts to pull carts." ”

"Crystal beast?"

This answer surprised Qin Lan a little.

With the wildness of the crystal beast and the extreme hatred of human beings, it can still be tamed?

The beasts that can be tamed by humans are all congenitally mild, and those with a slightly worse personality are domesticated, and it is a very difficult project to domesticate. Not to mention the Crystal Beast...... The innate hatred for humans that crystal beasts carry is not something that can be eliminated simply.

"They seem to have a way of domesticating crystal beasts. Hu Fanbian said flatly, "It's just that those are the most core secrets, and it is said that there are some extraordinarily large cities, or the Divine Tree District...... There is an army formed specifically by crystal beasts. ”

This completely aroused Qin Lan's interest, and in his previous research, he really didn't have the idea of taming the crystal beast. He read the life language of the crystal beast. Even if the part he can understand is extremely limited, he can understand that the crystal beast has a strong hatred and aggression towards humans in his bones.

If he wanted to reverse this aggression, in Qin Lan's opinion, only after his life language reached an extremely high level, he would rewrite the part of the crystal beast's life language that was aggressive towards humans...... It's possible.

He didn't think that there were currently capable people in this world who could rewrite the life language of crystal beasts. Even though the existence of the crystall's core, the hedroid, made it easier to analyze the life language of the crystall, he still thought so. The spar contains all the information of the crystal beast, and it is presented naked in front of the outside world.

If there was no special existence of the spar, even Qin Lan would need a certain amount of time to find the way to the language of life. Because the language of life can reflect the essence of life, it does not exist in the outside world. Only through consciousness, to carefully feel, analyze, and excavate the essence of life, can we discover a trace of the language of life.

This is true no matter what kind of life it is.

The only exception should be the crystal beast.

Therefore, in Qin Lan's view, the crystal beast is an existence that can be called a 'special life', and the word special is to distinguish the crystal beast from ordinary life.

The language of life is directly exposed through the hedron......

It's too mysterious.

However, if the crystal beast can be domesticated, the crystal beast can travel much faster than a human or a horse wearing auxiliary equipment.

Moreover, some mutant crystal beasts themselves have a variety of different attributes.

The aura is gone, but the origin of all things remains.

If the hedron of a mutated crystal beast is a wind attribute and provides the crystal beast with the energy of the wind attribute, then its speed will be unimaginably faster.

And unlike the limitations of the human body, the human body has high speed with the help of tools and equipment, but the body is still an ordinary body. There are also physical and endurance limitations.

It may maintain a certain speed for a short time, but it is far less explosive than the crystal beast, and far less durable than the crystal beast.

Domesticate the crystal beast and cross the earth.

This is perhaps the only appropriate way to cross long distances in the world today.

And, of course, there's the teleportation array.

However, Qin Lan had never seen a spar with spatial attributes with his own eyes, and he didn't know how far the teleportation array made with that kind of spar as the core could go.

Based on Qin Lan's speculation, even if a teleportation array could be constructed, it would at most be used as a convenient communication between familiar cities. To build a teleportation array that can be teleported over long distances, the quality of the spar required alone is at least enough for amethyst.

But at the level of amethyst stone, if it is a mutated crystal beast, the result of the mutation happens to be a spatial attribute...... It's almost as difficult as winning the lottery.

I really can't expect that high number.

Even with such a teleportation array, the price of each teleportation is unaffordable. Teleportation requires the energy inside the hedron to be consumed, which is a consumable. And the hedron that is the core of the energy alone is so rare, not to mention the other costs.

The only feasible long-distance movement solution should be to domesticate the crystal beast.

Erniu was able to cross such a long distance to come to Yuancheng, it should also be with the help of the power of the crystal beast?

Qin Lan shook his head, he couldn't speculate arbitrarily now.

The world is big and there are many secrets.

Arrived at Kishiyama Castle.

Kishiyama Castle is one of the core cities of the nearby city group.

It's huge.

Unlike Yuancheng, it has no scattered farmland outside.

Directly there was a towering city wall, the surface of which was covered with mottled marks, but these marks did not cause much substantial damage to the wall.

The walls are as black as iron, and at first glance they are made of a special material.

Being able to stand tall in the core of the Whispering Forest, where there are many crystal beasts, can imagine the hardness of this wall.

Generations of shore mountain people have been constantly repairing and rebuilding.

In the end, such a resolute wall was built.

This city wall is also the biggest barrier and confidence of Kishiyama Castle.

Moreover, in the interior of the huge city of Kishiyama Castle, there are tens of thousands of experienced orcs stationed here.

On the city wall, you can also see some dark cannon muzzles, aimed at the distance.

It's a real, steel fortress.

There were a few people present who had never seen the world, and they were directly shocked by this city wall and were speechless.

But not to mention Qin Lan, even Luo Sheng and a few others are well-informed people who have traveled through many cities. Compared to the really large cities, such as the Holy Redemption City, the Shore Mountain City is not very grand.

There were a lot of people entering the city, and they were just in time for the many orcs to return to Kishiyama Castle.

On the slope in front of the entrance to the city, there was a long queue.

In addition to the orc-hunters, there were also caravans lined up in the ranks to be examined by the soldiers at the city gates.

Yuancheng's convoy was also at the back of the line.
