Chapter 22: The World of Heroes (8)
Qian'an walked about 300 meters in the direction Brad said, and found some traces of battle, the trees in the forest were pierced, and there were several finger holes in the snow, which was very similar to Brad's attack method.
"Could it be true that what Brad said is true, and that it really fought fiercely with the earth elemental?" Qian'an couldn't help but wonder as he looked at the scene. Then I decided to look for the earth elemental first.
Qian'an carefully observed the surroundings, fortunately the snow fell yesterday, the grass was covered with snow, although the snow has gradually dissipated, but the residual moisture seeped into the grass, the soil became extremely soft, and Brad's battle with the earth element was not too long, at this time Qian'an found some footprints in the southwest that had not yet dissipated, these footprints were 5.60 yards large, one deep and one shallow. It seems to prove that its owner has some inconvenience in his legs and feet.
Qian'an followed these footsteps and walked all the way for half an hour, and finally found the earth element lying on the ground in the rock pile, it was sitting sideways in the middle of the rock pile, and it was really difficult to find the difference between him and the advance rock if he didn't pay attention.
Qian'an observed for a while and made sure that the earth element was really injured, and a large piece of the stone between his left leg had fallen off, and some sharp wounds had scratched it. It shouldn't have been caused by Brad. It is possible to meet Brad after fighting other enemies and then leave, but the second-level earth elemental can only really damage it above level three. What kind of creatures are causing it?
The curious Qian'an still decided to take a look.
"Hello, I'm a lord. Qian'an said hello to the earth elemental.
The earth element in the rock slowly protruded two earthy yellow gems, which were its eyeballs, and then a slit was made in the stone's face, and it spoke.
"Hello, Human Lord. “
"You're injured, aren't you?" Qian'an was not in a hurry, and said slowly to the earth element, even if he was in a hurry, it was useless, the earth element's temperament was relatively lazy, and he might not necessarily listen to it if he said it quickly.
"Yes, I was hurt by a griffin. The stone man also replied, and it subconsciously replied, just like someone asked, someone answered, and there was nothing that he didn't want to say, it was caused by nature.
"Then do you need to cultivate, do you need to go to my territory to cultivate?" Qian'an showed his tail step by step, according to normal speaking, neutral creatures need the lord to use gold or force to deter, but like these particularly strange creatures, they can directly fool the Dao stronghold without accepting recruitment. It's just that you can't ask for it, and I won't let him go when I meet him today.
"I can cultivate here. The earth elemental replied dumbly, not that he only works subconsciously like ordinary soldiers, but that their personality is like this.
"No, you need to go to my territory to recuperate, so you can recover faster. And I'll build a large rock mound in the territory, and you can bring your people with you. Qian'an said temptingly, with a lewd look on his face, like tricking Xiao Mushroom Liang into looking at the strange goldfish.
The earth element was still fooled by Qian'an, and took Qian'an to the place where the clansmen rested, which was an underground mine, most of which was gold, and Qian'an actually saw voles.
Then he stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing here?"
The vole was digging hard at the gold on the wall. I didn't feel strange when I heard the sound suddenly, and I didn't look back and said casually.
"Decorate your home again, here is bright and golden, I'm afraid of blinding your eyes. ”
Qian'an patted the vole's head with a black line, and the vole moved his head impatiently and said, "It's free, and you don't need your stones."
Qian'an grabbed it directly at the back of its neck and turned to himself.
The vole just wanted to go crazy, but when he looked closely, it was the lord, and he laughed awkwardly on his little head.
"Your Excellency.... Hello, what a coincidence..."
Qian'an looked at the little thing in front of him. I carried it by hand.
"Tell me, what are you doing here? ”
The vole was jolted twice and returned to the road dizzy.
"My lord, I'm digging for supplies. ”
Qian'an threw it down and asked suspiciously.
"Digging materials, digging stones in the earth elemental territory?"
The vole smiled, didn't answer Qian'an's words, and then reacted before saying.
"My lord, what is produced here is gold, and it is very difficult to dig it up. ”
"What!?" Qian'an was taken aback. Then he reacted and asked the vole in a low voice.
"What you dig is gold?"
"Yes, my lord, the environment here is the best. We voles only like gold, and there used to be some gems, but they were all occupied by wyverns, and wyverns don't have a high demand for gold, so we only dig for gold. The vole explained, and continued.
"The Earth Elemental is one of the targets hunted by the Wyverns, and where they are, they slowly produce gold, and the Eyeballs are a type of gem that the Wyverns collect.
Hearing this, Qian'an knew that the earth elemental was originally simple and innocent and easy to be bullied, and the hunting of the flying dragon made it even worse for them.
And the voles are getting gold, this good news makes Qian'an happy, this time there is no need to worry about their gold not being given, and at the same time, there are hundreds of more gold per week, which can recruit several third-level neutral creatures.
Then he asked, "How many earth elementals are there here, and will it make a difference if you move them to the territory?"
"Lord Lord, there are 20 earth elementals, 3 level 1, 16 level 2, level 3 bosses. If they move to the territory, it will take them 1 month to get the surrounding gold to be generated. ”
After listening to this, Qian'an muttered for a while.
"You stop your work first, and send a message to the Earth Elementals, telling them that the Wyverns are already eyeing them, and if you go to me first, you can have an extra week to prepare. ”
"??? defend the city flying dragon, lord, you..."The vole was dumbfounded for a moment when he heard Qian'an's command. I scratched my ears and cheeks anxiously for a while, and I didn't know what to say.
"Go and bring them back to my territory, and tell Brad what I mean, and he knows what to do for the rest. The rest you don't need to know. Qian'an raised his hand to signal the vole to be calm, and commanded at it.
"Alright, alright, lord. The vole replied obediently. Then the two paws turned quickly, and soon, a hole was dug in the edge of the mine. Drill into it and it's gone.
In this way, Qian'an successfully fooled the earth element to the stronghold and set up a home. The primary watchtower was also built, and at the same time, Qian'an also received a second-level stronghold.
Requirements: 500 stone, 500 wood, 500 gold Time: 48 hours.
And at the moment only 50 stone and 50 wood remain. and 9 gold. After removing the commission of voles, Qian'an calculated that 5 days of voles can bring 600 gold income, and wolves can bring 450 stones or wood in 5 days. With the addition of the 5 goblins in the colony itself, a total of 480 can be brought, which is 520 short of the total of 1000, and at least 2 more level 3 neutral creeps or 20 level 2 neutral creeps need to be recruited.
I thought of it, and then relied on the function of the watchtower, Qian'an successfully recruited 3 level 3 neutral creatures, wild trolls, poisonous lizards, and green pythons. How close the three neutral creatures are to ten meters. But they all obediently surrendered under the giant axe of Angoliath.
On the morning of the fifth day, the supplies were successfully gathered and the upgrade began. Qian'an can only pray, these days he has tried his best to find neutral creatures, but neutral creatures are not so easy to find, the first two days only found trolls and poisonous lizards, and the green python was found on the fourth day, the three creatures brought 300, 200, 100 supplies respectively. On the fourth day, the supplies were still a little short, and they had only been upgraded until now, and the construction time was one more day away from the arrival time of the Flying Dragon. It means that the Wyvern will still come.
