Trying to gather more subordinates was originally a plan that Needle Gold and Zidi had discussed.

So at the beginning, Zidi persuaded Needle Gold to save the yellow algae.

It's just that Huang Zao concealed the existence of the Silver Demon Beast, and at the same time escaped from the battle, repeatedly making accidents appear.

But now it seems that the end result is even more encouraging.

Yellow algae and cyanobacteria have become slaves to needle gold.

Originally, it was just to recruit them, but they still had a free body. And now that he is a slave, he loses his freedom.

These two brothers are both bronze level, and the value of slaves of this strength is still quite high.

Of course, there is no reliable means of restraint for the two of them, such as a servant contract or something.

In the current environment, needle gold can't be extravagantly so much.

Yellow algae and cyanobacteria took refuge in the needle gold as slaves, and with their own influence, everyone else naturally chose to rely on the needle.

As a result, Needle Gold successfully gained de facto control of the exploration team.

The two brothers, yellow algae and cyanobacteria, are both bronze-level elites. Yellow algae is good at using halberds, and cyanobacteria are good hands at scimitars. These two are the strongest.

Among the rest, there were two archers, one crossbowman. The remaining sword-and-axemen, spearmen, and shield-bearers were thirteen.

Coupled with the unarmed old scholar Cang Su, there are a total of nineteen people (not counting the two needles and purple di).

According to Cangsu, when they first set off, the entire exploration team had nearly forty people, and the team was very large.

But by this point, the exploration team had been reduced by half.

These people are all poorly armed.

The brothers yellow algae and cyanobacteria were dressed in leather armor, and the others were dressed in linen.

Survival resources were not tight, and the team carried plenty of food and fresh water.

All this information was learned from Cang Xu's body.

"Since this mountain spring is drinkable, then I will ask my husband to assign some people to collect more fresh water for us. Half of that oil can be discarded. ”

The first order was given.

"Yes, sir. Ayosu took the order and respectfully exited the tent.

This tent was brought by the exploration team, and was built by the brothers yellow algae and cyanobacteria, so that the needle gold can take a good nap here.

As soon as Cangsu exited the tent, Zidi lifted the curtain and walked in.

"My lord, this old scholar of ours is not simple. Zidi said.

When Needle Gold summoned Cang Whisker alone, Zi Di had initial contact with each member. From other people's mouths, Zidi probably restored the whole truth.

"It turned out that it was the analysis of the baranga, which made the yellow algae and cyanobacteria realize that it was a big trouble?" Needle Gold listened to Zidi's report and smiled slightly, "It seems that the trophies we collected from the eight-legged spider also severely shocked these people." ”

"Don't overestimate people, and don't underestimate people. The blonde sighed from the bottom of her heart.

The outcome of this incident was good, but the whole process prompted Needle Gold to constantly reflect deeply on himself.

He overestimated Huang Zao's temperament and did not realize the possibility that he could conceal information. Wishful thinking that the yellow algae will be used for it by the grace of saving lives.

But the result was that the yellow algae escaped from the battle, abandoning the two life-saving benefactors of Acupuncture Gold and Zidi.

Later, the brothers Xanguina and Cyanobacteria took refuge in themselves and sold themselves into slavery under great pressure.

Is it because the two of them are truly repentant?

There may be a little.

But more should be forced by the needle gold, Zidi's strong strength, and deep background.

What about the others?

They are happy to be led by needles.

Why?

In such a dangerous environment, the weak cling to the strong is one of the best survival strategies, isn't it?

The identity of the Templar who was pinned gold and his deeds of saving Huang Algae made people believe that although the leader was young, he was worthy of their trust.

Among them, the most eye-catching is the old scholar Cangsu.

He has served aristocratic families for more than 30 years, and he learned the wisdom of aristocratic survival and game.

He was unarmed and unarmed, but he was respected by the entire exploration team. The brothers yellow algae and cyanobacteria are almost obedient to the words of the bargweker.

When Cangsu got the information of the yellow algae, he was immediately keenly aware of the identity of the needle gold and purple di.

The entire exploration team was led by him, and immediately went back, and finally took the initiative to take up the title of Needle Gold.

Yellow algae and cyanobacteria became his greeting gifts to meet Needle Gold, but even if the two brothers sold themselves into slavery, they were also grateful to Cangsu.

What he said to Needle Gold was ostensibly a good word for the brothers, but it was actually a bargain.

Cangsu took the initiative to take refuge in the needle, so that the latter accepted these subordinates smoothly and had two bronze-level slaves. And the needle gold also gives full returns. In the new team, Cang Xu became the third person after Needle Gold and Purple Di.

The first order given by Needle Gold was to make him the leader and lead a group of men to collect fresh water.

This is the boy's response to Cangsu's initiative to take refuge.

He was wary of Cang Whiskers, but he also admired them.

He knew that he needed such talents around him. Don't look at Cangsu as just a scholar, ordinary farmers can overthrow him. But he has knowledge and wisdom that ordinary people cannot reach, and knowledge and wisdom are also an invisible force.

"The situation regarding my broken memory and inability to use my fighting spirit needs to be kept secret for the time being. "Needle gold and care for Zidi.

Zidi nodded again and again, her face slightly solemn: "I understand, my lord." ”

Needle Gold has just taken control of this exploration team, and there are still hidden dangers.

If these subordinates find out that needle gold can't use vindictiveness, will it cause some bad thoughts?

Unable to use fighting spirit, relying on physical literacy alone, the gap between different levels is not so big.

Just as the family motto of the Baizhen family says: People, do not overestimate or underestimate.

For this sentence, the needle gold is now deeply understood!

Although he became the leader of the exploration team, his control over the entire team was still weak.

It is simply impossible to prohibit such an order and prohibit it.

"You arrange to call in the members of the exploration team in turn, and I'll talk to them alone in the tent. Finally, he instructed Zidi.

Therefore, when Cangsu led several people to collect fresh water and returned to the tent to report, he was stopped by the yellow algae and cyanobacteria guarding outside.

"Lord Needle Jin, I'm talking to Bai Ya. ”

Cang Xu was slightly stunned, he knew that Bai Ya, a young man with a hearty smile, was the son of Orion, and he was inconspicuous in the exploration team.

"Did the White Bud make any mistakes?" asked Cang Su.

"No, the entire exploration team has to go into the tent once alone and be questioned by Lord Needle Jin. Cyanobacteria replied.

Cangsu couldn't help but be interested: "What did the adults ask them?"

Huang Zao shrugged: "It's nothing more than some personal origin, family situation, personal expertise, information about shipwrecks and islands." ”

At this moment, the door curtain was lifted, and Bai Ya, a member of the exploration team, walked out, looking excited.

"Ah, it's Mr. Scholar. Bai Ya said hello first.

"Look at you, are you being looked at differently by Lord Needle Gold?"

Bai Ya grinned, "Of course not. In fact, Lord Needle Gold promised everyone that as long as they behave well in the future, they might be able to follow him and join White Sand City in the future! ”

"Isn't that what you wanted? Cang whisker patted Bai Ya on the shoulder.

Bai Ya nodded again and again, and said energetically: "I will definitely work hard!"

After receiving the passage of cyanobacteria, the beard entered the tent again and saw the needle gold.

"My lord, at your orders, we have discarded half of the oil and stockpiled fresh water from the original oil bags. Cangsu replied respectfully.

"Well, well done, you go down and rest first. After lunch, there will be a meeting to discuss the next step and you will be ready. ”

"Yes, sir. Greybeard bowed and exited the tent.

He didn't stay away, and stood by the tent and watched for a while.

The members who had been following him to stock up on fresh water were also summoned one by one by Needle Gold.

Everyone didn't stay in the tent for long, but when they came out, the expressions on their faces changed significantly from before they entered, and even the eyes of those who were usually not smiling seemed to be smeared with a layer of oil.

Abarsu took a deep look at the tent, smiled, and whispered to himself, "That's fine." ”

Not all strong people have the talent to lead.

In Cangsu's view: needle gold is very young. It is rare for such a young man to have at least a silver level of cultivation. I'm afraid that most of the time is spent on my own cultivation. This involves energy, and learning and mastering in other areas is naturally weak.

But now it seems that the needle is at least passable in terms of being a leader.

This young man is not yet the Lord of White Sands City, so he can promise out of thin air to outline a bright future for these members of the exploration team to follow him.

The hearts of the people are gradually being retracted by the needle, the morale of the team is also improving, and the control of the needle gold over the entire exploration team is rapidly deepening.
