Ji Feng wandered aimlessly in the grassland, but whenever he encountered the gnoll tribe, it was a killing, after the killing, kill all the resistants, the Bliss Vase devoured the blood, refined the blood energy, condensed the runes, opened the blood contract, those animals that were captive by the gnolls and the jackals who surrendered, took all their blood contracts, through the blood contract runes, let them take the team, leave the grassland, and go to the forest at the edge of the grassland to wait.

When the first snow appeared on the grassland, a special fluctuation of vitality caused by the changes of the four seasons of heaven and earth appeared, and Ji Feng sacrificed the Bliss Bottle on the top of his head, rapidly devouring the first wisp of vitality generated by the changes of the four seasons, condensing into the Bliss Vase that existed between the real and the illusory, laying the foundation of the Bliss Vase.

The second stage of refining is officially completed, and the third stage is entered.

At this time, there are very few creatures on the grassland, either hiding in a certain place and preparing to survive the cold winter, or finding their nest and hibernating.

Ji Feng completed the refining stage and returned from the grassland.

When I came, I was looking for the gnolls, so I wandered in the grassland, and when I returned, I had a definite goal, and it didn't take me a few days, day and night, and I soon returned to the edge of the grassland.

returned to the place where the demonic eggs were buried, picked up these demonic eggs, and put them together with the remaining thirty demonic eggs in his hand.

This trip was rich in harvest, not only a large number of gnoll slaves, but also more captive animals - antelopes.

It's just that there were a hundred demonic eggs at the beginning, and there are only forty left at this time.

Ji Feng returned to the shallow forest at the edge of the grassland, where hundreds of gnolls and thousands of antelopes had gathered.

These surviving gnolls were all killed along the way, and they had a blood contract to change their physical fitness and strength, and they could even cooperate with the antelope to send blood arrows, and they had good combat power.

Ji Feng returned to the valley with these gnolls, and was immediately welcomed by all the kobolds in the valley, there were other life races in the valley, but they just looked at these later races, and did not have too much enthusiasm.

Ji Feng didn't leave these gnolls in the valley either, the place here was still too small to provide for these gnolls and thousands of antelopes to live.

He sent these gnolls and antelopes to the walled city that had been built in the forest, and let them live there, although it was crowded, but it could be cut down to increase the size of the walled city.

Soon, the cold air from the grassland blew into the forest, and a heavy snow covered it, turning the whole world into white flowers, and everything in heaven and earth was frozen in ice and snow.

The gnolls drove all the antelopes into the crypt halls of the walled city, and even killed more than a dozen antelopes in order to get enough food, so that every gnolls could eat a bite of food.

Even in winter, when the snow was falling, Ji Feng didn't let these people rest, anyway, they were idle, there was heavy snow outside, and they couldn't move, but they could dig tunnels.

With the aid of blood energy, the claws of these gnolls are mixed with a trace of blood energy in their bodies, so that their claws are like scythes that cut through mountains and stones, and can dig a passage through the frozen bottom layer that is not too hard.

For this passage leading to the underground hall of the valley in this walled city, there is a straight line distance, Ji Feng specially on the ground, along a straight line, from the walled city in the forest to the underground hall of the valley with a blood line to infiltrate the earth, forming a blood line, so that as long as these jackals dig along the blood line, there will be no deviation.

The gnolls were in full swing underground, and on the ground, Ji Feng led the ferocious rats and kobolds, who entered the forest in the snowflakes in the sky, and the backs of these kobolds and the ferocious rats had baskets one by one.

Ji Feng took these people into the forest, opened the blood energy vision, and specifically looked for the animals that hibernated in the forest, and pulled them out of the nest, among which the giant python and the long snake were the most numerous.

When winter comes, the long snakes and pythons in the forest have fallen into hibernation, at this time to pull them out of the nest, there is no need for extra strength to face their resistance and fighting, they will not have any consciousness when they are asleep in winter.

These hibernating animals were discovered by Ji Feng, who had opened the vision of blood energy, and the blood contract runes were imprinted in the bodies and minds of the animals, and the animals that could be controlled were left behind as reserve food, and those that could not be controlled were all killed, skinned, cramped and boneless, and a one-stop service was waiting for them.

When the underground passage leading from the walled city to the underground hall of the valley was completely dug by the gnolls, Ji Feng also ended his winter hunting operation.

This operation was rich in harvest, not only filling the biodiversity in the valley and the walled city, but also increasing the variety of food for the population and filling the supply of meat.

After this, the winter wind and snow are even more urgent, and the snowflakes that fall from the sky one after another, as if endless, and the dark clouds in the sky are also gloomy, and there is no sunshine for several days.

Ji Feng looked at the sky and felt that this snow would fall for several days in a row, allowing these jackals and kobolds to eat and drink for two more days.

Two days later, they went out again en masse to collect all kinds of dry trees from the forest and use them as wood for the fire, cutting down some of the thick trees, some of which were carried to the high walls beyond the valley, and some of which were carried around the walled city.

After a simple repair, the timber was built outside the valley to form a simple but huge thick wooden wall, and then water was poured on it, freshly boiled.

Because there were not enough iron tools to form a cauldron, the hot water was boiled in stone pots or huge leaf pots, and there was not much temperature.

The water with a hint of temperature fell onto the tall and heavy wooden wall, and the heat in the liquid was quickly carried away by the strong wind, and the water was quickly frozen, forming a thick lump of ice together with the wood on which they depended.

These water mixed with wooden walls are built into ice walls, and the role here is no less than that of cement, which is simple and convenient.

At either end of the valley there is such a wall of tall and heavy ice, which resists the cold winds beyond the valley and the predatory beasts that may appear in the forest.

The ice wall outside the valley was formed, and Ji Feng also formed such a tall and heavy wall around the walled city, which firmly protected the entire walled city, leaving only a small door in and out in one place, which was firmly sealed when not in use.

Ji Feng and their tall and heavy ice walls had just been built, and within two days, the sentry kobolds found some figures, sneakily watching outside, and seemed to want to sneak in, but they were hit by the alert kobold guards with bloody arrows, and immediately fled.

Subsequently, Ji Feng also received news from the walled city, where these mysterious black shadows were also found outside the ice wall, which did not look like predators in the forest, but like creatures with a certain amount of intelligence.

This situation made Ji Feng's expression change, and he decided to go out to see, what kind of species is it, could it be that they also saw this place and wanted to occupy it?

Ji Feng sneaked out of the valley, first patrolled around the valley, opened the blood energy sight, looking for possible enemies, and after a round, there were no enemies around the valley.

Then go to the walled city, and open the blood energy sight around the walled city, and look for clues to the enemy according to the blood energy, and there is nothing found here.

Neither of these places was found, so Ji Feng expanded the scope of his search, using two places in the forest as the base point, constantly expanding the scope of his search, and finally found a clue in a black bear den in the forest.

It was obvious that after a fight, the black bear was found out of its lair, and the black bear that woke up from hibernation was not without the strength to fight back, and immediately these mysterious enemies who woke him up were killed.

However, judging from the fight at the scene, it didn't take long for the black bear here to be killed.

Based on the trails, Ji Feng deduced that these mysterious creatures had four cheetah-like legs, but their claws were sharp, similar to those of velociraptors, because there were often three long scratches on the ground.

There were also long trails of blood on the ground, as if blood had suddenly splattered out of broken veins.

Seeing this, Ji Feng's eyes shrank, because this way of blood spraying was like he used a blood light sword to cut the enemy's throat, causing blood to fly out of his throat.

This means that the enemy may have a sharp weapon, at least it can tear the blood vessels of one of the arteries on the black bear's body, causing such a blood spurt.

However, in this way, the identity of the enemy has become simple and vague again, because these footprints on the ground indicate that these creatures besieging and killing black bears are a four-legged, cheetah-like animal, but how can animals like them have weapons?

Could it be that, like a centaur, the upper body of a human is combined with the lower body of a cheetah?

Ji Feng shook his head and smiled, erasing the guess in his heart, and the Vase of Bliss appeared above his head, collecting blood from the field, and even collected a wisp of breath from this place, using this trace of aura to search the enemy's range of activity.

According to this breath, he wandered in the forest, and actually came to the edge of the forest, and if he walked further, he would go deep into the grassland.

Ji Feng frowned and looked at the white grassland, thinking in his heart: "Wandering in the grassland a few days ago, I didn't find any other intelligent creatures, except for the jackals, there are no formed tribes, where did these mysterious creatures come from?"

He wanted to enter the grassland, but the valley and the walled city behind him still couldn't reassure him, so he restrained his curiosity, returned to the walled city, ordered to increase the number of guards, and prepared a mobile team, ready to be on standby, once something happened, immediately rescue through the tunnels in the underground hall of the walled city and the valley.
