Twelve days later.

The exploration team completed the exploration of most of the Saar territory, and a new map of the territory slowly became clear in Leon's hands, mountains, forests, valleys, swamps... Even some mountain streams and waterfalls are marked.

Through this exploration, Leon's gains are quite large.

This was not reflected in the fact that there were more than a dozen magic cores in his pocket and the rare medicinal materials in the warriors' backpacks, but that he found that this forest land, known as the Wild Land, was a completely untapped natural treasure house.

Together with the scout team, he discovered more than three forested jungle areas where hunting, and stumbled upon an open-pit black coal mine and rock salt mine, as well as countless exotic flowers and plants, many of which were rare and expensive medicinal and spell-casting materials.

The team was lucky not to encounter the legendary demon clan and high-level demonic beasts, of course, this also had something to do with their avoidance of the swampy area on the western front and the demonic dark places in the north.

Until the realm is truly established, Leon has no ambitions for these two dangerous areas for the time being.

Luckily and unfortunately, the twelve-day quest did not allow Leon to find a suitable location to build a city or castle.

There are too many forested mountains, steep terrain and quite harsh environments that are undoubtedly a big problem.

He had put all his hopes on the last unexplored area, the heart of Thrall's land, which was still blank on his map.

After more than ten days of arduous trekking and searching, the team members were quite tired, and even Rose, who was a beast soul warrior, looked a little haggard.

Along the way, they climbed mountains and mountains, kept walking through forests and trees, and had to fight the beasts and monsters that suddenly appeared, and the hardships were indescribable.

It's just that the leather armor is broken and scarred, and it can't make everyone lose the will to move on, because what they are exploring is their own territory, their own homeland!

"We're here!"

Splitting the tangled vines, Rose, who was at the front of the line, let out a cry full of surprise: "This is it, what a beautiful little lake!"

Leon followed her out of the woods, his eyes lit up, and his vision suddenly widened!

In front of them was a huge basin surrounded by mountains, surrounded by dense forests, which became more and more sparse towards the center, gradually turning into green meadows dotted with countless wildflowers.

And in the center of the large meadow, which is like a carpet of green velvet, is inlaid with a piece of turquoise jade, a small lake deep in the forest!

The environment here is very similar to the shore of Mirror Lake, which is not particularly large, but the original scenery is far better than that of Mirror Lake.

The sparkling surface of the lake reflects the snow-capped peaks of the distant mountains, and from time to time waterfowl fly up and down in the grass around the lake, and a small river connecting the lake meanders forward and disappears into the mountain forest.

Cast your gaze further along the river, you can see that between the mountains in the distance, a waterfall like a jade belt falls straight down, and the roar of the water hitting the rocks can be faintly heard in the wind.

No one would have expected that the core hinterland of Sal Ling would be so beautiful!

Yesterday afternoon, Leon discovered the existence of this basin and saw this small lake when he climbed a nearby mountain, but only when he was there was it could he really appreciate its beauty.

"Wow!

"What a surprise, this place is so nice!"

"Well, I'd love to take a shower!"

The scout warriors who came out after them were all overjoyed, and all their tiredness was swept away from their faces.

"Leon, let's build a castle here, it's so beautiful!"

In the excitement, Rose turned around and hugged Leon, raised her head and pleaded, "Do you say okay?"

"Okay, okay, as long as you don't break my waist, you can do whatever you want!" said Leon with a smile.

Of course, his waist was constantly strangled, but the leopard girl was tight enough, which was enough to show the excitement and excitement in her heart.

Rose came to her senses, her pretty face suddenly flushed, and she hurriedly let go of her hands.

The irrepressible low laughter of the team members came from behind.

This made Rose ashamed and annoyed, and said angrily: "What are you laughing at, why don't you go around and see if there are any signs of demonic beast activity!"

The female leopard was in a hurry, and the scouts immediately dispersed, leaving her and Leon to hug their heads and run away.

Everyone ran out, and Rose felt regret and embarrassment, and lowered her head to think that she was yelling like this, would it make Leon feel that she was too rude, not like a girl at all?

Before she knew it, one of her hearts had already been tied to Leon's body, and this was almost a well-known secret of the Hammer Tribe.

Just as the leopard girl was feeling sorry for herself, she felt her hand being grabbed.

When she looked up, she saw Leon's dark eyes with a warm smile.

"Let's go to the lake together. Leon said with a smile, taking her little hand and walking forward.

Rose felt a little shy, but she was reluctant to let go, and let him hold her.

The grass is green, the breeze carries the fragrance of unknown wildflowers, and the grass is stirred by butterflies dancing, and the mirror-like lake seems to be sending a silent call.

This picturesque scenery made Rose gradually forget her shyness, and she looked left and right to put all the scenery into her own vision.

Unlike her, Leon is also evaluating the viable surnames of building a city or castle here while admiring the landscape.

Without a doubt, this is by far the best place to build Salling, surrounded by high mountains that form a natural barrier to withstand the cold currents of the north in winter.

The existence of small rivers and lakes makes water sources completely unproblematic, and the flat basin is suitable for cultivation and grazing, and is not very far from the two hunting areas.

It is located in the hinterland of the Sal Territory, and it is not a small distance from the Nucang River in the south, Colin Worth in the east, and Ironforge Fort in the north.

Due to the barrier of the alpine forest, the transportation between the Sal Territory and the outside world in the future is extremely inconvenient, and even the gray camel caravan may not be able to reach here, and it is almost isolated from the world.

Therefore, if they are threatened by the Demon Clan, the Hammer Tribe can only fight alone on their own, and it is difficult to ask for help from the outside world.

However, in Leon's view, isolation also has the advantage of isolation, Sal Ling does not need to get involved in the strife of the kingdom, concentrate on developing and slowly growing in strength, population may also be a big problem, but there is always a solution.

This is it! He made a secret decision in his mind.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"

A few anxious calls suddenly came from not far away, which suddenly interrupted Leon's thoughts.

Leon was startled, and immediately looked in the direction from which the voice came, only to see two scouts hurrying towards this side on the other side of the lakeshore.

Behind them, there were more than a dozen large, half-naked savages in hot pursuit, armed with spears and shouting at Iliwala.

What's going on? Leon was taken aback, could it be that there were some indigenous people here?

Without thinking about it, Leon immediately drew his sword and rushed over, and Rose picked up his longbow and hurriedly followed him to support.

The two sides quickly approached, and Leon could see the appearance of his pursuers clearly.

These "wild men" had a fat physique, with a bare chest and a shiny belly, a square horse face, two copper bell-like eyes bulging high, a wide nose, a large mouth with thick lips, and two large white front teeth.

Their hair was tied in small braids that hung down to their waists, their dark faces and bodies were smeared with dark red dye, and their lower bodies were wrapped in grass skirts made of grass blades and rattans.

Although these pursuers looked fatter than pigs, they were not slow at all, and they rumbled like a herd of elephants in a wild run, and their sound was quite terrifying.

Of course, their speed was not comparable to that of the Leopard Scouts, so they were pulled a long distance.

Somehow, Leon looked at these fat big guys and felt a little familiar.

The two leopard scouts rushed in front of Leon panting, and Leon stopped and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

"We didn't know, but the two of us had just gone over there to investigate the woods, and as soon as we saw what looked like someone was bathing in the river, they rushed out to hunt us down!" one of the scouts explained, swallowing his spittle.

"Is there any misunderstanding, don't run, ask first. ”

Leon stuck his sword in the grass in front of him, a sign of peace that he didn't want to use force.

Rose, who had caught up, saw his actions and put down the longbow in her hand.

When the dozen or so fat men saw Leon and the others stop in place, they all slowed down and stopped dozens of steps away.

"Hello, I'm Leon, the lord of the Thrall Territory, and we don't have any ill will, may I ask which tribe you belong to?" asked Leon in a loud voice.

Looking at the appearance of the other party, it is clear that it has the characteristics of the beast race, not like the demon race or the underground race.

The macho men looked at each other, and one of them took a few steps forward and stammered, "What Salling, I haven't heard of it, where are you from, why are you peeking at our women taking a bath?"

Peeking at their women taking a shower?Leon nearly choked on his own saliva, and quickly looked back at the two leopard scouts.

The two scouts were even more innocent, and shouted in a loud voice: "How can there be a peek, we just passed, and we saw people in the river in the dark, and before they could see clearly, they ran out!"

This Leon really believes that to be honest, looking at the other party's appearance, how beautiful their women can be, the taste of the leopard scout is really not that heavy.

"Looks like a misunderstanding!" Leon laughed, "I asked them to apologize to you." ”
