According to Li Ran's request, most of the people brought over this time were construction workers, and the task was to strengthen the walls of the territory on this side of the Endless Snow Region and build a sentry post as soon as possible, so as to increase the defense capacity here as quickly as possible, and at the same time repair some buildings that were damaged in the war before.

According to the previously planned route and plan, Li Ran and Tang Shi's troops could return at noon, but by the evening, the three of them had not seen the figure of the large group of men and horses returning, and they couldn't help but drum a little in their hearts.

In the end, he was really a little worried, and after asking Zhou Xun for the approximate location, Shadow Blade rushed over with hundreds of high-level troops and a hundred Snow Leopard Clan warriors, along with Cai Chang.

At this time, Zhou Xun was left alone and began to get anxious again, because the rules of the battle map were like this, and he couldn't receive the first text messages and messages from his friends, so he could only keep watch at the gate of the territory.

It wasn't until that night that he received news from the scouts that the troops had won, but because of the weather, they had to wait almost until the morning to return, and Zhou Xun's hanging heart was relieved.

At noon the next day, Zhou Xun saw the returning troops, and immediately led people to greet them, and only after asking him did he know that it turned out that yesterday morning, just after Li Ran and Tang Shi eliminated the group of winter wolves, the scouts found a group of snow ice foxes not far away.

Because their number was not large, so Li Ran and Tang Shi continued to go to encircle and suppress, who knew that these snow ice foxes were extremely cunning, not only did it take a long time to besiege them, but when these snow ice foxes found themselves besieged, some of them actually ran to attract many Glai stone people and snow ice bears.

So they had no choice but to retreat, but in the absence of the Gleishi to pursue. For some reason, the snowy ice bears kept chasing after them, and they had to defend passively. Fortunately, I found a position that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. But even so, if it weren't for Shadow Blade and Cai Chang leading the troops to arrive in time, they would not have been wiped out this time. But the lose-lose situation is also inevitable.

Later, Li Ran and the others learned by questioning Histan and perceiving the returning snow ice bears that these snow ice foxes had the ability to tempt other creatures, and those snow ice bears were obviously tempted by them, and in their minds, the team led by Li Ran became their most hated enemy, the whale hunting beast.

Fortunately, Shadow Blade and Cai Chang arrived in time to outflank them from behind, although they also lost more than 100 middle and high-level troops, but this battle not only captured more than 200 winter wolves and more than 300 snow ice foxes. Even the Snowy Ice Bear captured nearly 700 of them this time, and brought back a large number of corpses that could be used for collection.

At noon that day, after ordering the residents of the territory to dispose of the corpses of these creatures, Li Ran and several teammates even let people steam a few bear paws to open the meat, since the last time they ate it once, they found that the taste of this thing was really delicious and incomparable, and after the fact, they felt that they had no appetite for anything to eat in reality for several days, if it weren't for the fact that this thing was really valuable, they would be reluctant to sell it. This time he brought back a lot, so Li Ran decided to have a luxury and shared it with his teammates again.

"Brother Ran, if only this thing existed in the real world. The price will definitely kill those bird's nest shark fins" Wiping his mouth, Cai Chang seemed to be a little unsatisfied.

Everyone laughed, but from the bottom of their hearts, they very much agreed with this point of view. Zhou Xun said with a smile: "Maybe there is such a world in the universe. Hehe, it's exactly the same as the virtual world we're in now."

Although just kidding. But everyone is rarely idle, and at this time, it is just after eating. So they thought about it and couldn't help but show some yearning expressions.

After a long time, Cai Chang suddenly smiled and said: "In that case, I will still explore with you, Brother Ran, you will take us with you."

Li Ran smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will take you all with me then."

Everyone laughed, and the relationship between them seemed to be much closer all of a sudden, and the rest of the world became idle.

Early the next morning, Shadow Blade and Tang Zhi escorted Li Ran and Zhou Xun back to the town territory with thousands of high-level troops, and under the scout's investigation all the way, Li Ran and they also brought back the snowy creatures and materials that had just been captured this time.

It's been a while since they've been in the Endless Snow Domain, and at this time, they've roughly figured out the route near the territory, and they've researched the fastest route between the town territory and the Snow Territory, and it's relatively safe on the road, with no signs of large-scale creatures walking.

And this time Li Ran and Zhou Xun came back, mainly because as the weather warmed up, the snow on the periphery of the town's territory had begun to melt, including farmland production and recruitment, which needed to be arranged as soon as possible, and at this time they had gradually felt the shortage of manpower.

Although the situation in the underground world is relatively stable, the known spaces they currently occupy are not all of this underground world after all, although according to Li Ran's orders, the scouts have been exploring the interior for several months without seeing any signs of other territories and large groups of creatures, but it cannot be ruled out that there are no other territories and dangerous creatures inside, and no one can guarantee that there is no hidden territory like the Agang dwarves inside.

So in the final analysis, the territory of the underground world still needs to be garrisoned, including many breeding wild creatures must also be cleaned up regularly, otherwise when they get together, it will be a big threat, not only killing the residents and miners inside, but even attacking the territory.

Therefore, for the underground world, Li Ran can only draw out at most two teammates at this stage, and he has to be responsible for clearing and patrolling at the same time, which is already a very heavy workload.

As for the territory just occupied by the Endless Snow Region, because of its particularity, in addition to supervising and inspecting the construction and repair tasks, it is also necessary to be vigilant and guarded, and at the same time to investigate and encircle, which requires at least three or four teammates to cooperate.

In this way, there are not many teammates who can stay in the territory of the surface town at this time, and Li Ran silently thought about this matter and returned to the town territory.

Seeing that the lord finally came back, Doric and Morga and a group of teammates hurried over, the former even expressed joy, at that time, Li Ran brazenly sent troops, with all the troops in the territory, they were worried about it, but fortunately, the news of victory came soon, and then the shadow blade they brought back tens of thousands of captives, which made them really put their minds at ease, and at the same time, they also had a deeper understanding of the usually seemingly calm and gentle lord, as long as one thing was identified, He's definitely going to do such crazy things as breaking the boat.

After a warm greeting, Li Ran held a meeting, and this time even the tower masters of the Mage Tower, Kunai Soyd and Master Liehei, also rushed over, which was indeed a rare thing before. (To be continued.) )
