Chapter 922: The Strange Beast
Looking at the invisible tent in their hands, the two brothers of the Zheng family couldn't help but drool for a long time, as professional adventurers, they knew very well the rarity of these elf stealth tents, and the value of each one was no less than a real treasure.

Many people may not know much about this kind of stealth tent, but when it comes to the elves' stealth cloak, it is a household name, it is a piece of equipment that all adventurers and players want to get, with strange chameleon leather and a special vine that can screen the smell of the invisibility cloak, not only can players hide in most of the environment, but also do not have to worry about the smell will attract other creatures to attack, whether it is out to upgrade or adventure exploration, is one of the best preferred equipment.
And the principle of these stealth tents is similar to it, but it is much harsher in terms of manufacturing materials, I heard that some of the top stealth tents even have the function of space reduction, and a small tent can accommodate dozens of troops, although these in their hands are obviously not like this, but they were also surprised to see Li Ran and they took out several casually.
Unlike regular propped tents, these stealth tents are half hidden underground and the other half is raised above the ground. In this way, even if they are inadvertently discovered by other creatures, the warriors inside can rush out as soon as possible, and only one or two meters above the ground, and with the terrain and environment, these stealth tents will automatically transform into a consistent environment with their surroundings, such as small mounds or bushes, which are difficult for other creatures to detect.
Hiding dozens of troops in these tents, Li Ran and the others spent a peaceful night, but through the observation holes in the tents, they found a lot of terrifying creatures in the dark night.
At this time, on the other side of the world, Zhou Xun and a group of teammates were having a meeting, and as the past few months passed, several major development cities have gradually entered the formalization, and they are also studying the next development plan under Li Ran's previous request.
The first is the development of the grain base in the Qingxiong territory, this project with Qian Wei as the main person in charge has achieved initial results, there is a lot of fertile land, after sending some professional and skilled personnel in the past two years, it has been possible to transport food from there continuously, but with the growth of the current population, Zhou Xun's requirements for her will be expanded in the next step.
As for the city construction, the buildings damaged by the war in Tyre City have all been repaired, and the next step is to upgrade and transform some of these buildings, and the city of Thun is the same as a major development city, according to Li Ran's requirements, the next step in Thun City is to build a real large city, especially in terms of the mage tower, Li Ran's expectations for it are very big, and with the hundreds of archmages above the top level sent last time, Zhou Xun also asked the people of Morga to fully cooperate at the meeting to complete the construction of the third-level main mage tower as soon as possible.
Finally, when it comes to the source of troops, the Endless Snow Region and the Tyre City plane are also going on simultaneously, and the Shadow Blade is fully responsible for carrying out the inspection, because there is such an intermediate stronghold as Barris, plus the Shadow Blade is experienced, everything is going on in an orderly manner, but after Tang Shi and Phantom Ice Nannan left, a few more people had to be transferred there, so Zhou Xun and the others decided to transfer Huang Jiwei and Cheng Yufeng from Duan Bo's team to help after discussion.
However, in the plane of Tyre City, they have not made progress, this is a half-plane dominated by jungles, and there are also some towering volcanoes and tidal swamps, although Duke Knorr has established a defensive base in it before, but because of the hostility of those aborigines, the troops sent before can only barely defend, and they are a little powerless to open the situation in a short time.
Therefore, in this meeting, Zhou Xun and his teammates, including some of the existing main leaders, mainly discussed how to open a more stable base there, so that they could obtain more high-level soldiers in it, because as far as they knew, those legendary level jade dragons of Duke Noll before were obtained in this half-plane.
"I think it's better to send the main force directly than to make a fuss like this, the biggest threat we encounter there now is mainly those aboriginal half-elves and elven warriors, plus the special terrain there, not to mention ordinary troops to fight against them, they can't catch up with their figures, and the soldiers who keep vigil every night will be killed by them a lot" Zhang Debiao, who had just returned from there, said a little depressed.
However, Cai Chang vetoed his theory and said, "I don't agree!" Although we have also asked those people who were originally in Tyre City, after all, we still don't know much about the situation inside, I don't think it is a good way to send a large army in the past, this will not only consume too much, but may also cause the hostility of those aboriginal warriors to launch a large-scale war against us, in the absence of Brother Ran and Brother Xia Hou, I am afraid that we will not be able to deal with it."
Regarding her statement, just when Zhang Debiao was about to refute it, Zhang Juan nodded and said: "My thoughts are the same as Cai Chang's, Brother Ran also told us about the cruelty of the plane war before leaving, even the previous Duke of Knoll did not dare to send a large army there, let alone build a large army there, for fear of arousing the suspicion of those aborigines, thinking that our side is an invader, and it will be very dangerous to use a large army."
Speaking of this, Zhang Juan paused for a moment and continued: "Although judging from the information we have received so far, this half plane of Tyre City is not necessarily as big as our empire, but all this has not been confirmed, and even if it is only a small half plane as the intelligence says, we can't rely on our own strength to fight against the entire plane, and once we are regarded as invaders, let those aborigines close to the base have a reason to find an alliance, we are really dangerous."
"Then you can't just waste it, relying on the harvesting of those timber and those small number of captives every day is not enough for our side to spend, and the cost of plane teleportation troops is so expensive, the first soldier to die is not only the price itself" Zhang Debiao said a little depressed.
But without Li Ran present, they didn't dare to decide to send a large army, and finally decided to maintain the current situation for the time being.
"Why don't we find a chance to discuss with Brother Ran and ask him to transfer Brother Ying over, it should be better to have him, after all, as long as the ore vein is held in the Endless Snow Land for the time being, whoever is sent is the same" At this time, Sun Jianye couldn't help but speak.
For his idea, in fact, Zhou Xun and the others have already thought about it, and after thinking about it at this time, he nodded and said: "I will find a chance to talk to Brother Ran about this, but at least after his inspection this time, it is confirmed that there is no major threat around Barris City, and at that time, maybe the Shadow Blade can come over to help and see if he can open the situation here, after all, now that there is a teleportation array, he is also very fast to get here."
However, there are always accidents, as Shadow Blade led the team to patrol the city of Balice, and after more than ten days, he actually found a hidden snowy territory, its troops are very strong, and even according to the scout report, there are several lords here who have defeated and fled before, and they have a vague frame to attack Balis City.
Hearing this information, Zhou Xun and the other teammates couldn't help but be taken aback, they didn't expect that there was such a hidden danger on the side of the Endless Snow Region, if they took advantage of the lack of troops in Barris City to attack, it would be a big deal, but fortunately, the Shadow Blade found it in time, and with this news coming, Zhou Xun also actively began to deploy troops to try to solve this threat as soon as possible.
At this time, on the side of the Sunset Mountain Range, Li Ran and the others had officially entered here three days ago, but with the emergence of various powerful creatures here, their troops had also suffered a large number of casualties, and they had been struggling until now.
"Damn, it's these damn beasts again, and they've all become legendary-level, and their speed is too fast, we can't stand it when there are only a few of them?" Zheng Yanbo was a little depressed and took the herb handed over by Qian Hui, and said while applying it to the wound on his thigh.
During this period of time, the brothers are also very familiar with everyone, and they have something to say at this time, and when they are cleaning up the battlefield, they can't help but ask Li Ran: "Captain, do you have any troops in your hands that can slow down, otherwise it will be too much of a loss, and every time you are attacked by these guys and run away."
Hearing him ask, Qian Hui and the others couldn't help but think of those frost mastiffs and tentacle spirit beetles, but the former was Li Ran's beloved class, and the latter was too slow, so they gave up decisively in the end.
Fortunately, these strange beasts encountered today were not only higher in rank than before, but also very difficult, but as long as they were not bitten by them, they did not cause real casualties to Li Ran and his party, but then, when they marched to noon, they unfortunately encountered several huge gray cloud rays and captured a few of their elven warriors.
These guys have soft bodies, seemingly weak but naturally resistant to all ranged casualties, and the arrows shot from the hands of the elven archers fall on their bodies like a small toothpick stuck on top of a giant cotton ball, and when they are provoked, they will also shoot a powerful slime that sticks them and their troops firmly to the ground, which is really amusing and helpless.
And it was precisely because of the inspiration for their attacks that after thinking about it for a while, Li Ran suddenly stretched out his hand and summoned two super-level spider web golems obtained from the capital auction house through high-priced bidding, hoping to use their attack methods to suppress these various creatures that suddenly emerged from the woods, including those strange beasts before.
