Chapter 676: Central Mountain Community
After a half-game day of exploration, Yang Rui finally explored the entire island, and although the first two NPC civilians were confirmed on the way, there were also some special circumstances.
There are indeed five major princely forces on the island, namely Shenyang, the king of Henan, Wei Bao, the king of Western Wei, Sima Qiong, the king of Yin, Zhang Er, the king of Changshan, and Wu Rui, the king of Hengshan.
Among the five major princely forces, the forces seem to be not much different, whether it is the territory under their jurisdiction, or the number of NPCs, resources, etc., they are almost comparable, and each princely force occupies a corner of the island, and the strength of various arms such as foot soldiers, water pawns, and cavalry is also very balanced.
However, the entire island has another common enemy other than the five princes - the native monster community on Jinding Mountain in the middle of the island!
In the process of exploration, in addition to checking in person, Yang Rui also "found" more than a dozen NPCs several times again, asking about the situation on the island one by one, many of their statements are similar to the first two NPC civilians, and they can't provide Yang Rui with much useful information, but Yang Rui is not without gain.
At the most basic, Yang Rui finally figured out the name of the island - Jinding Island!
This has something in common with the name of the central mountain range of the island - Jinding Mountain, so Yang Rui also thought of the content of this mission, he was originally going to find the holy weapon of the Three Kingdoms Civilization Region - [Four-legged Qiankun Ding], and the name of this golden tripod also seems to vaguely confirm the fact that the four-legged Qiankun Ding is likely to exist on the island.
Therefore, Yang Rui paid special attention to the information about Jinding Mountain, and there would be five princely forces on Jinding Island. Although there is friction between them. However, their posture has a common purpose. The point is Jinding Mountain.
The power of the five princes itself is huge enough, and each of them is not even much lower than Yang Rui's current power in the game, even if it is inferior in terms of military strength, but many aspects such as the territory occupied and the number of NPCs are fighting with Yang Rui.
If Yang Rui hadn't come with a mission and didn't see any players on Jinding Island, if he were an ordinary player, it would probably be that Jinding Island would be the main body of the Three Kingdoms civilization in the exotic space.
With such a huge number of five princely forces, their common point is the native monster community of Jinding Mountain. This can reflect the strength of this monster group itself, and at the same time, it also faintly reveals that the five major princely forces must have an unknown purpose!
From the mouths of more than ten NPCs captured, Yang Rui also learned that during each game quarter, the five princely forces would truce for a game month, and almost all of them would jointly send troops to the native monster community of the central Jinding Mountain.
Such a uniform move, the information revealed in it is enough to be intriguing, if it were not for the tangible interests, the five princes would not have gone to great lengths to use troops against the native monster community of Jinding Mountain in the center of the island.
In the process of Yang Rui gradually figuring out the distribution of forces on Jinding Island, he actually thought about giving up, and with his current strength, it was almost impossible to confront the five princes on Jinding Island head-on in a short period of time. It's a bit difficult to deal with one of them.
However, it is precisely because of the existence of the original monster community in Jinding Mountain that Yang Rui feels that there may be some opportunities. That's why I didn't leave right away.
From the very beginning, Yang Rui was mentally prepared, this task of finding the prestige value of the holy weapon will definitely not be too simple, after all, the holy weapon is not something that can be obtained casually under ordinary circumstances, so even if Yang Rui did not give up the holy weapon task immediately in the end, it is also because he can accumulate the player's Exotic Championship points while doing the task, and he will not get nothing.
Moreover, it would be better if he could find an opportunity to complete the task, according to Yang Rui's judgment, the key factor should still be on Jinding Mountain in the middle of the island.
Therefore, after Yang Rui weighed left and right, he did not rush to attack the surrounding five princely forces, but directly operated the Sky City into the Jinding Mountain Range.
With the camouflage of the Four Elephant Maze against the Sky City, Yang Rui is not afraid that he will be discovered by the native monster community here.
Even if the other party happened to really discover Yang Rui's whereabouts, Sky City was high and high, presumably a group of primitive monsters would not be able to get the Sky City at all.
However, when Yang Rui entered the Jinding Mountain Range in the center of the island, he was still taken aback by the power of the native monster community in it!
Originally, Yang Rui thought that the native monster community in the central Jinding Mountain could withstand the attack of the surrounding five princely forces, although the strength was not bad, it was very good or due to factors such as terrain, but when Yang Rui really entered the mountain range, he found that the strength of the native monster community in the mountain was much stronger than he imagined.
Yang Rui's surprise was first of all because of the composition of the monster community. The general monster community is basically formed by a single species, and will not be mixed with other species, while the Jinding Mountain monster community includes dozens of monster species, including birds and animals, and there is no shortage of almost common species!
This is a complete monster community system, and the general monster community is not much comparable to it at all, and most of the monster communities are still composed of a single species, and the monster communities here not only cover a wide range of species, but also have a detailed division of labor.
As soon as Yang Rui entered the Jinding Mountain Range, he found that whether it was in the sky or underground, there were small teams and small teams of monster sentries traveling in groups and patrolling back and forth, and there was a strict monster camp system inside, and the division of labor was still very detailed, and it was even somewhat similar to the NPC race model!
The second thing that surprised Yang Rui was the strength of the monsters in the group, as far as the monsters in the outermost patrol were concerned, they had all reached the strength of more than 6th order soldiers, and they all had a general-level monster leader.
This kind of strength is a level stronger than the patrol soldiers of the five princely forces that Yang Rui encountered before, until later when Yang Rui saw the elite monsters in the community, he found that they were all at the level of military general's strength, and Yang Rui couldn't help but think of the monsters on the island of death at the beginning.
Of course, the elite monsters in the group are certainly eye-catching, and the monsters in the group are still dominated by the strength level of the fifth- and sixth-order soldiers, otherwise, the five princely forces on Jinding Island will not have the strength to support them, and they will take the initiative to attack these monsters.
Rao is like this, the scale and number of monster communities in Jinding Mountain are enough to compare to the sum of the soldiers of the five major princely power departments! (To be continued......)
