The Terran counterattack did not last long, because the sea is the world of the water tribe monsters, once it is too far away from the third line of defense, it may be eaten by the demon race, after all, the treasure ship cannot be compared with the island, and it cannot give the monk a reliable guarantee.

However, in the counterattack of the human race, at least two or three million demon beasts were left, which can be regarded as making up for the loss of the Luoxinghai Islands.

After the end of the counteroffensive, the major forces returned to their islands and began to rebuild, pacify mortals, resume production, and strengthen their territories.

However, in this beast tide, there are still countless forces that have been completely wiped out, or the surviving forces are not enough to defend the previous territory, so they have filed for bankruptcy with the alliance.

Because they know that with their current strength, returning to their previous territory will sooner or later be contested, and it is better to directly exchange the island and the alliance for a resource, or directly change to a smaller place, which can not only keep but also prevent others from coveting.

For this reason, the alliance has thousands of large and small islands, the big ones are tens of thousands of miles in radius, and the small ones may be a small island within a radius of two or three miles.

These islands, large and small, will be rewarded to all the monks for their military exploits, and many of them will rise as a result of the rise of local powers, and some foreign monks will take root here.

In the second month after the war, Lin Xiao learned of his merits in the war for more than a year, and the number of meritorious services assessed reached as much as four hundred and thirty-five, which is a lot among Daogang monks, and many Daogang monks participated in the war for three or four years before and after this data, and the normal Daogang monks' merits are mostly two or three million.

In the fourth month after the war, the merit exchange ratio announced by the Luo Xinghai Alliance, a little merit is still a Xuanjing, but the price of these resources such as martial arts, elixir spirit runes, magic weapons treasure ships and so on has increased a lot, and the merits have depreciated a lot compared with wartime.

In terms of exchanging island territories, it has been reduced a lot, and it can be seen that the alliance has not many resources in its hands, and wants to encourage monks to exchange for islands as much as possible, rather than actual resources.

Lin Xiao immediately decided to exchange for an island, according to the exchange ratio, four million merit points can be exchanged for an island with a radius of about four thousand miles and a spiritual vein not lower than the third order, as long as the merit points are three million and eight million.

However, this kind of just right condition is also difficult to encounter, Lin Xiao finally chose an island with a radius of about four thousand miles, but the spiritual vein is only a second-order middle grade, among the previous second line of defense, it is 13,000 miles away from Dajin Island, less than 5,000 miles away from the previous territory of Lin Zhongjun's family, in Luo Xinghai, the distance of 5,000 miles is very close, a faster flying boat can arrive in a day, and the treasure ship can be reached in a little more than a day, and it can be regarded as a neighbor with Lin Zhongjun.

Because there is an extinct volcano underneath the island and it is windy, it was named Wind and Fire Island, and Lin Xiao did not change its name, he also thought that the name of this Wind and Fire Island was good.

Wind and Fire Island was originally jointly controlled by seven small families, and three of these seven small families were directly wiped out in the beast tide, and the remaining four small families also suffered heavy losses, and there was no one out of ten clan monks, so they submitted for bankruptcy because they couldn't keep Wind and Fire Island.

In the Luoxinghai Islands, the size of a force depends on how big the island under his control is, and the spiritual vein is secondary, because the spiritual vein can be improved, and it is very difficult to expand the area of the island, without enough area, it is impossible to feed enough mortals, and mortals are the foundation of monks, the more mortals, the more monks will be born, this is an eternal truth.

There are still a number of mortals alive on Wind and Fire Island, the number is not much, only about seventy or eighty thousand, of which the mortals of the four remnant families account for more than 30,000, and these mortals are all to be taken away, so the mortals who are really left to Lin Xiao should not exceed 40,000.

This population is tantamount to too little for a medium-sized island with a radius of more than four thousand miles, so Lin Xiao exchanged the remaining 500,000 merits for 50,000 mortals, there will probably be 20,000 young and strong, and with some women, children and children, there are very few old people, because among the beast tide, the old man is the first to be abandoned.

Although this fact is very cruel, it is a fact that there is no way to change, any disaster, the first to survive is the young and strong, as for the women and children or children or the elderly, it depends on the specific situation.

There is still a little merit left, Lin Xiao has all been replaced with demon beast meat, and now the Luoxinghai Islands lack everything, that is, there is no shortage of demon beast meat, and even demon beast meat is so low that it is about the same as the rations of mortals.

"Xiao Daoyou, I didn't expect us to become neighbors, it's really rare."

"Lin Daoyou, I have a black eye on Luo Xinghai, do you have any guidance for me?"

"I don't dare to say anything, just remind Xiao Daoyou that for a monk like Xiao Daoyou, the alliance will issue a command flag, and the alliance will give a ten-year protection period, within ten years, as long as it is not your mortal enemy or the extremely vicious and does not want to gain a foothold in the Luoxinghai Islands, it will not easily attack your Wind and Fire Island, so Xiao Daoyou must cultivate enough forces to defend the territory within these ten years."

"Lin Daoyou means that I should recruit casual cultivators or small family cultivators?"

"That's right, a beast tide has caused many small family monks to suffer heavy losses, and the merits of their entire clan may not be able to change an island, they will become wanderers, these families can absorb it, as long as they are balanced, it will be enough for Xiao Daoyou to gain a foothold in ten years."

"However, the loyalty of these family monks may not be reliable, and the most important thing for a force should be loyalty."

Lin Xiao shook his head, although this move can quickly develop strength, but it is difficult for these family monks to be loyal, and most of the family monks rank the family first.

"This is a temporary measure, when your own strength is enough, they will either integrate into it, or get out, you are the master of the island, as long as they don't have monks stronger than you, there is no problem"

"Forget it, Lin Daoyou, to be honest, I don't want to play this kind of intrigue scheme, I'm too tired, it's better for the disciple to cultivate by himself"

"This is also true, everyone has their own ambitions, don't force it, if there is my Lin family who can help in the future, Xiao Daoyou can just speak. ”

"Lin Daoyou said this, I'm not welcome, now I lack mortal ration seeds and their tools to reclaim farmland and plough cattle, where can I get these?"

"The tools for cultivating the fields can be given to Xiao Daoyou by my Lin family, there are mortal iron ore and low-grade black iron ore on our island, but we are also in urgent need of cattle rations and seeds, I am afraid that we have to go to the few big islands of the third line of defense before to get it, but they should be able to control these things now and use them to exchange cultivation resources, it is very dark."

"There's no way to do it, I understand, it seems that I have to go early, the price may be more expensive if it's late, Lin Daoyou will meet again"

"Good"

Lin Xiao soon went to Dafang Island, the third line of defense, Dafang Island is larger than Treasure Island, with a radius of about 50,000 li, and there are hundreds of forces under its control, of which three families are the most powerful, and the rest of the forces are their vassals, including the Hua family.

When Lin Xiao traveled in Zhongzhou before, he met Hua Congchang and Hua Congjie, brothers and sisters, who were members of the Hua family, and they had made an appointment to play together, and Luo Xinghai had such a big thing as the beast tide, they should come back.

Lin Xiao went to Dafang Island and sent a transmission note to the Hua family brothers and sisters, and met the Hua family brothers and sisters in less than an hour.

"Brother Lin, it's really you, why did you come to Luo Xinghai?"

"Xiaojie, Lin Daoyou shouldn't have just arrived."

"Hua Daoyou is right, I've been here for almost two years, and I've been playing in the league before, fighting in the Treasure Island area."

"Treasure Island, Brother Lin is on Treasure Island, that is the most tragic place in the entire beast tide, Brother Lin, are you okay?"

"It's okay, the Treasure Island side is indeed tragic, I was in the city when the Red Gold City was flooded, and I almost died, and then I made some meritorious deeds, and changed an island on the alliance side, called Wind and Fire Island, by the way, I used to use my pseudonym as Xiao Lin"

Lin Xiao nodded, recalling that in Chijin City, it was indeed very dangerous, Daogang monks had fallen a lot, and I don't know how many were seriously injured, according to what Lin Xiao had seen, at least ten Daogang monks had already injured the foundation, and the path was hopeless in this life.

"Xiao Lin, Lin Xiao, Brother Lin, don't you get this pseudonym?"

"I took it casually, and I didn't want to hide it from anyone, but it's more convenient to have a pseudonym."

"Then we'll call you Xiao Lin from now on, it'll be better."

"Thank you for your understanding"

"Xiao Daoyou came to my brother and sister this time, but what is the tricky matter?"

"One thing, I'm ready to gain a foothold in Luo Xinghai, so mortals are indispensable, and now there are almost more than 90,000 mortals on Wind and Fire Island, and there is an urgent shortage of supplies for grain seeds and cattle, I know that Dafang Island has it, so I want to ask Hua Daoyou to help, and I can pay as much as I want."

"It's easy to say, it's nothing more than some mortal survival resources, this kind of thing is not worth much in normal times, and it's worth a little at this time"

"Brother Lin, cough cough, Brother Xiao, I want Qianling wine, you just exchange it for Qianling wine, what you gave me before has already been drunk"

"Okay, but there is not much Qianling wine, I can only give you fifty catties, there are still a lot of white mist tea, Hua Daoyou want?"

"Of course, Xiao Daoyou's white mist tea has a unique flavor and tastes very good."

"Okay, when the time comes, I'll use these to offset the account, and I'll trouble Hua Daoyou."

"Don't bother, this is a trivial matter, wait a minute, I'll write a comment, naturally someone will send it, Xiao Daoyou, let's go to dinner, I don't know how you survived in the hands of that demon cultivator in the first place."

"Okay, I'm still interested in this matter, I'll talk to you about it carefully."

The three of them found a restaurant to sit down and eat, Lin Xiao told the story of surviving under the hands of the demon cultivator, but hiding the matter of blackmailing Lan Lingyu and Lingming Dan, this matter is not disgraceful, who knows that Lan Lingyu is really serious.

The brothers and sisters of the Hua family knew Lin Xiao's stories, and they were addicted and pity, they knew that Lin Xiao had such a means, so they would not escape, and they could also get acquainted with the masters of the Danxia Sect and the Seven Swords Sect, although these two sects are not the top sects in Central Continent, they can be regarded as first-class, stronger than the entire Luo Xinghai, at least Luo Xinghai is not a monk of the seventh realm.
