Chapter Ninety-Six: The Desolate Territory and the Sandworms
The worm man was only about one meter and a half, with a humanoid insect head, yellow skin, wrinkled furrows like insects, and his fingers were sharp and, very hard, and the sand snake bit the hand of the sand worm man but couldn't bite through.
"The aliens of this world?"
Watching the sandworm man bite off the entire head of the sand snake and chew it directly and eat it, Lin Chen's eyebrows jumped.
Ordinary humanoid creatures have a certain amount of wisdom, but the amount of wisdom is just a matter of how much wisdom there is, looking at this sandworm man directly eating the sand snake raw, the wisdom is estimated to be not high.
Of course, it may be the case of fragments of this world, and it would be nice to have something to eat, and they are not allowed to have such high requirements in terms of eating.
But no matter what, judging from the observation of the predation of this sandworm man, this sandworm man will not have much intelligence, and his strength is not very strong, so he should not be too threatening.
Lin Chen didn't let his men kill the sandworm, it's useless to kill it now, the most important thing now is to explore the fragments of this world first and find a suitable place to establish a base.
There is no other choice, it is inevitable to establish a territory in this world where resources can be said to be none, and what he can do is to choose a better position.
First summon the two-headed ogre Akron and Akulon, these two brothers are huge enough to block him from the scorching sun, and they are also a qualified bodyguard, as for the mountain giant, Xiaoxiao doesn't need to bring it out for the time being, and will wait until he finds a suitable place.
Simply discerning the direction, he led his two men to the east, where he had observed the edge of the world less than a kilometer away.
Although you can see the edge of the world's crystal wall, what should be explored is still to explore, anyway, you can't leave for the time being, and there is plenty of time to explore every inch of the fragments of the entire world.
The edge of the world is magical, from a distance it looks like an endless desert, but when he comes to the edge and looks closely, he can see a shimmering light curtain rising from the yellow sand, like a huge movie screen, painted with the same image as the edge of the world, if you don't pay attention, you really think it's a big desert.
Lin Chen stretched out his hand and pressed it on the edge of the world crystal wall, as if he was pressing on the extremely hard glass, but he knew that if he had enough strength, he could forcibly break through this crystal wall and enter the void.
However, he didn't dare to do this, because he could vaguely see through this light curtain that there was a huge figure staring at him in the void behind the light curtain, just waiting for him to open the light curtain and enter the void.
They can see outside, and of course the Void Marauder outside can see them, and although they can't come in, they are always guarding outside, and no matter which way he goes, the Void Marauder will turn to it until ever.
When encountering a Void Marauder in the Void, the only way to escape is to get rid of it by relying on a speed much faster than the Void Marauder to pull a long distance, and if the speed is not fast enough, the other party can keep chasing it, even if it is ten years and a hundred years, it will not stop until one side dies.
Of course, if you are strong enough, you can also counterkill and kill the Void Marauder, but this requires at least a strong person of the third or fourth order or above to do so.
The edge was full of yellow sand, and he commanded the two-headed ogre to dig more than ten meters deep with a big shovel, but it was still sand, and he didn't continue to dig, but walked in the other direction along the edge of the world.
The boundless yellow sand made Lin Chen's mood very low all the time, so much so that after walking more than ten kilometers along the edge of the world, when he saw a wasteland covered with thin grains of sand, he actually had a feeling of joy welling up.
Although it is a desertified wasteland, it is not a desert, and it can still be used after transformation.
The desertified wasteland in other worlds is completely wasteland, and no one will think about transforming it at all, but in this world, there is no choice at all.
Fortunately, there is a mountain giant and a tree of life, and with some time, you can still transform this world.
First condense the realm spirits, establish a base, and the most important thing is to bury the space road marker and establish a teleportation circle to communicate with the Tower of Eternity, so that you can obtain resources from the outside world to slowly transform this world, and finally turn the desert into fertile land again.
It would definitely take a lot of time, money, and resources, but again, he had no choice.
An hour later, Lin Chen stood in a ..... with two of his men A gap in the world.
To be honest, he was very surprised, he didn't expect that one area of this world fragment was connected to another world fragment, in short, a world fragment split into two halves, but not completely separated, a small part of the area was still connected, like a bridge connecting two small islands.
Lin Chen stood at the gap less than 20 meters wide and looked inside, and on the other side was the desertified wasteland connecting the gap, but when he walked inside, the barren land slowly disappeared, and a layer of yellow and green color slowly appeared in the wasteland, and occasionally a large area of drought-tolerant plants could be seen growing on the wasteland.
It's too blurry to see further afield, but it's certain that it's much better than here.
"It's really a poor mountain and a waterway, and there is another spring, and there is such a turn."
Lin Chen was simply overjoyed, and immediately took his two subordinates through this connection gap and entered the other world.
Stepping on the wasteland covered with a thin layer of sand, he glanced back, and when he crossed this gap, he vaguely felt that he had passed through a membrane that he almost didn't feel, and he knew in his heart that this was because although the two world fragments were connected together, they had been broken after all, and now they were in the stage of being broken, maybe one day some random collision or a strong battle would suddenly break it.
However, Lin Chen didn't care, he found that this fragment on this side, the other side was a desert, and it was of no value, even if it was broken now, he was not afraid, anyway, he was not going to build a base over there.
Even if it's all wasteland, it's much stronger than the desert.
When standing on the hard ground with his feet on the ground, Lin Chen felt like tears welled up in his eyes, even if he stayed in the desert for an hour over there, he felt as if a long time had passed.
The environment is not the point, the point is that the thought of the possible difficulties that may arise from trying to transform a desert world into a world suitable for ordinary people in the future, he has a feeling of numbness in his scalp.
Well, even if the wasteland is a hundred times stronger than the desert, there is the seed of life and the mountain giant, it is much easier to transform, at least it will save a lot of money.
Walking on the wasteland excitedly, squatting down from time to time to check the few plants on the wasteland, occasionally you can see small insects such as small sand scorpions and snakes, and sometimes you can see some..... He was stunned and looked at a sandworm man who came out of the wasteland in front of him, one person and one worm looked at each other for a long time, he was about to order Akron and the Akuloon brothers to catch him, the sandworm man shrank down and disappeared, he immediately rushed forward, only to see a cave left in place, and the sandworm man was gone.
"It's a bit of a hassle!"
Lin Chen held his chin and thought for a while, then looked up at the four directions, and said:
"This world is not peaceful, let's quickly find a suitable place to build a base, and when we build a good defense, even if there are more sandworms, we are not afraid."
The two-headed ogre, the two brothers Akron and Akulon, hummed and said:
"We listen to our master."
He looked at the Crimson Lady, and Lin Luoyi said expressionlessly:
"You're the leader!"
Lin Chen shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Let's go!"
I don't know how big this world fragment is, anyway, he walked from the desert fragment for almost an hour and didn't see the edge of the world, but from time to time he saw traces of sandworm people, and from time to time he saw the burrows of sandworm people on the wasteland, small forty or fifty centimeters, large ones more than one meter, and occasionally a cave with a diameter of two or three meters, which made Lin Chen's expression a little solemn, no longer so relaxed.
Caves are generally dug according to the size of the people entering and exiting, and the size of the cave is larger, and the cave with a diameter of two or three meters means that the creatures passing through the cave are extremely large, which is not good news for him.
But no matter how good the news is, he won't retreat, he doesn't want to go back to the desert, and he doesn't have the strength to resist, as long as he establishes a good base, he has enough strength to resist.
Continuing all the way forward, after crossing a small wood, Lin Chen's eyes lit up, and he saw a small hilly hill not far ahead.
"This place is nice, let's go and have a look."
Soon came to the front of the hills, and just a glance at Lin Chen was more satisfied.
This is a very small mountain, the area is about two or three kilometers in a radius, the total number of peaks is about 20 or more, most of them are more than 10 meters and 20 or 30 meters high, the highest peak in it is not more than 50 meters, the mountain is short and small and bare and is a barren mountain.
The light was certainly worthless, unless the stone could be sold for money, but in his eyes, it was a great place to build a base.
"Brothers, this is our base."
He turned to the two-headed ogre brothers and the Crimson Lady and waved his hand vigorously, announcing loudly.
The two-headed ogre Akron and Akulon's two brothers responded very cooperatively, only Lin Luoyi looked at him with clear eyes with an expressionless face, which made the pride that had just risen in his heart drop all of a sudden.
"Okay, let's go in and have a look."
He coughed dryly and waved his hand into the small mountain range.
There is nothing in this barren mountain, there are no trees and vegetation, not even insects, and there are no sandworms to hunt here, but there are still a few sandworm caves found in it, but the traces of the cave entrance are very old, and it is estimated that no sandworm people have come for a long time.
Lin Chen knew very well about these sandworm people, if there were no accidents, these sandworm people were his biggest enemies in the early stage.
It wouldn't be a big deal if he just passed by, but if he wanted to establish a base in this world and occupy this world, the sandworms, who were the natives of this world, would definitely resist, and conflict was inevitable.
Standing on the highest peak between the mountains, Lin Chen clasped his hands together and pulled violently, and the void in front of him was suddenly torn open with a black line, which was quickly stretched to a height of thirty meters, and as he separated his hands from the black lines and spread them to both sides, it turned into a huge portal thirty meters high and ten meters wide, and in the portal was undulating gloomy waves.
With a dull loud noise, the undulating ghost light arched a large bag, highlighting a huge face, breaking away from the ghost light, drilling out a huge stone man's head, and a ball of divine light in the crown above his head was dripping and spinning.
Xiaoxiao, the king of mountain giants, has returned to the world after a few months.
The twenty-meter-tall King of Mountain Giants walked out of the Rubik's Cube space, raised his head to the sky and roared, and a huge sound spread in all directions.
When he lowered his head, his huge body slowly squatted down to face Lin Chen, and said in a humming voice:
"Tiny, I've seen my master!"
Lin Chen laughed, suddenly strode forward, jumped down directly from the top of the mountain, stretched out his huge palm to support it, and steadily supported the falling figure and moved to the front.
Taking a step onto the small shoulders of the mountain giant, Lin Chen held down his huge rock head with one hand, and pointed around with the other and said loudly:
"This is the place I chose, it will be our home in the future, and I need your power to transform this world."
A little buzz said:
"This is my mission!"
Standing on a small shoulder, it was like standing on top of a moving mountain, feeling the power of the mountain giant's every move, he was arrogant, some powerful subordinates, what else could stop him, the sandworm people couldn't, and the void marauders couldn't.
After pretending for a while, Lin Chen let Xiaoxiao get close to a mountain as high as him, jumped directly from his shoulder to the top of the mountain, took out a stack of drawings from the Rubik's Cube space and sat on the ground and began to flip through them.
This is the blueprint about the construction of the base that he specially downloaded on the Internet before he came, there are hundreds of them, basically including most of the common world terrain, as well as many mainstream shapes of the base construction drawings, he needs to find a base that is suitable for the current mountain terrain and conforms to his aesthetic point of view.
After seeing two pictures of the two-headed ogre brother and the Crimson lady, he beckoned the two of them to sit down and help look at them and pick them out.
There are many kinds of blueprints, whether it is plains or hills, or wastelands or even swamps and other terrains can build bases, even if it is pure water or the underground world, he needs to choose a type he likes.
First of all, the drawings were sorted into categories and picked out on the terrain, there were more than forty in total, and then the huge cost was removed first, and now he didn't have so many resources to build too big and too complicated, just simple and practical.
Removing his conditions, there are only four that can be used, and he spreads out the four drawings one by one and looks at them one by one.
The first is a huge mountain city, based on which the walls are strung together to form a large base.
The second is a medium-sized mountain castle, build a castle in the middle of the mountains, and then transform the outer hills into military strongholds, attacking and defending each other, and the defense is extremely strong.
The third is an underground castle, hollowing out the underground into a huge underground space to establish a base, as long as the entrance and exit are not breached, the underground base will be safe and worry-free, but this choice Lin Chen vetoed for the first time, the sandworms in this world will make holes, and the base is built underground and is easy to be attacked from all sides.
The fourth is a comprehensive base, the castle above and the underground space below, the two are one, even if the top is breached, there is also a defense below.
