Zhang Sheng never thought that Xue Zhong was still a beast tamer!

Although the level of "animal husbandry" is lower, it is enough to solve the immediate needs of the territory, and his "training" specialty can assist Qin Liangyu in training.

The four basic troops, the second-order sword and shield soldiers, the second-order pikemen, the second-order longbow soldiers, and the second-order sailors, and the fourth-order soldiers corresponding to their promotions are also counted among them, and Qin Liangyu does not have a sailor template. Xue Zhong can be regarded as making up for this shortcoming of the territory, the Canglin Mountain Range is full of water and air, and there are many streams and rivers and lakes, especially adjacent to Jiaolong Lake, and the waterway is more convenient than the land route.

Classes can be constantly transferred, for example, Qin Liangyu uses fourth-order spearmen to train white-pole soldiers, which will be more efficient and can save a lot of time. With Xue Zhong, Qin Liangyu was liberated, and he didn't have to spend most of his time in the barracks and school field.

"General Xue, your injuries ......"

"It's not in the way, it's just a skin injury, just bandage it."

"That's good, let's go to the iron mine cave today, and then return to the territory."

Iron ore is an important resource for the development of the territory, and even if there is no shortage for the time being, mining must be resumed as soon as possible.

The wild wolves that were killed were slaughtered quickly, among which the materials extracted by the twin wolf kings were the most precious, skin, flesh, bones, and tendons, the one that was first killed by Qin Liangyu had a quality of 6, and the wolf king who had advanced to the next level had a quality of 8.

The group turned back to the camp and continued to set off on the original route after breakfast.

The more he walked, the more Zhang Sheng felt a headache, this was not a road at all, climbing high and going low, rocks, shrubs, vines, and from time to time there were streams crossing the road. If you want to transport a large amount of iron ore back to Jiaolong Village, you have to build a road, which is definitely a big project.

Entering the scope of the iron ore area, the first thing that catches your eye is a sea of red flowers, bright and beautiful.

"Huotong!"

Huotong Zhang Sheng knows, is a kind of first flower and then leaf arbor, quality 5, is quite rare high-quality wood, many special buildings, luxury furniture will be used. I didn't expect that on top of the iron mine, there would be a fire tung forest, and the two resources were stacked together, and it would save a lot of trouble when mining.

"My lord, after exploration, this iron ore is medium-sized, if you want to improve the mining efficiency, you can open another mine hole in the northeast."

Medium-sized, enough for the initial stage of the territory!

The basic output of resource points can be divided into micro, small, medium, large, and rich minerals. Among them, mineral deposits are non-renewable resources, and after digging, they can only be found elsewhere, while forests and lakes are renewable types, and as long as they are properly planned, they can be collected in cycles.

The problem now is to plan the road, and it is best to establish an outpost in the iron ore area to protect the exploitation of resources and the temporary storage of resources, so that the current population of Jiaolong Village is somewhat reluctant.

"Let's go back."

After marking the map, Zhang Sheng planned to return to the village in a different way, and expand the exploration area along the way.

After Zhang Sheng and his party walked through a wetland, a group of strange beasts with long black hair and goat-like horns walked by them in the distance.

This is...... Beast of Burden!

Seeing this group of strange beasts that looked very stumbling, Zhang Sheng was overjoyed, the black beast lives in the mountains and plateaus, is cold-resistant, powerful, and is the best means of mountain transportation. They can also ride, but even in the plains, the sprint speed of the black beasts is not fast, and the thick long hair on their bodies is not adapted to the high temperature, so they are not suitable for the development of cavalry.

The weight of the black pack beast is very exaggerated, and the long-distance transport can carry more than 1,000 kilograms, and the hair, skin, meat, and milk are all good by-products, and it is definitely the best breeding livestock for mountain lords.

"Leave those beasts behind!" Zhang Sheng immediately ordered.

"General Xue, I'll have you to work on next."

For beasts, although there is a chance that they can be tamed even if they are not beast trainers, the more docile they are, the higher the chance, but the beast trainers have skill bonuses, and the effect is far from being comparable to the violent methods of the big soldiers.

"Don't worry, my lord, the last general managed the black beast when he was still serving in the outpost, which is easier than taming a horse."

Although they are tall and sturdy, they are not fierce beasts, and they are even a little timid, as long as they don't make them angry, they will not take the initiative to attack people.

There are not many of these black beasts, only more than thirty and less than forty of them, but since they know that there are black beasts in the Canglin Mountains, it will be easy to do.

Zhang Sheng also joined the ranks of the encirclement, and with Xue Zhong's ability, he calmed down the restless black beasts one by one in a blink of an eye, and they could be directly used after simple domestication.

You must know that before, cooking utensils, tents, military rations, and other things were completely relied on people's backs, and the complex terrain in the mountains could not even be walked by wheelbarrow, and many of the things found even if they were valuable could not be taken away, so they had to be temporarily abandoned. Now, everything is solved with the black beast, and the soldiers are liberated, and they only need to carry a day's dry food.

"Good stuff! There are also a lot of rebel camps in the northwest, and the mountains have to use black beasts, cattle and horses are all. Xue Zhong patted the strongest black beast in front of him with satisfaction.

"Rebel camp?"

"The last general fled all the way, and unfortunately bumped into Lu Qing's team in the north, but fortunately, he seemed to have gnawed hard bones and broke his teeth, and he didn't have the heart to take care of me, otherwise it would be really difficult to get out."

The expeditionary force was isolated from the outside, with many internal factions and a serious struggle for power, and some of these rebels were genuine defectors, and some were defected. But no matter which one it is, as long as the impact is not too bad, the expeditionary force rarely takes the initiative to send troops to eliminate these rebels, and at most a symbolic reward order is issued, after all, these rebels can also be used as a secret way of wealth.

These rebels did not dare to provoke the expeditionary force, but they would not be polite to them, the lords of military and political autonomy, and in terms of threat, the rebels were higher than the beasts.

"Lu Qing......" Zhang Sheng took out the stack of bounty orders and began to rummage, and sure enough, he found it.

Lu Qing's head is the lowest existence in this stack of bounty orders, worth two thousand meritorious deeds and eight hundred gold coins.

"That's him!" Looking at Lu Qing's reward order, Xue Zhong said affirmatively.

"Is his location far away?"

"It's not far, less than two days away from our iron ore area."

In less than two days, that is to say, to Jiaolong Village, if you are familiar with the terrain, four days at most is enough to kill!

This was not up to Zhang Sheng's choice, even if he couldn't see it, it wouldn't be long before the rebels would hit the door, so Zhang Sheng immediately decided to turn around. Jiaolong Village does not have any defense facilities, and if the success or failure of passive defense is not mentioned first, the people's will will collapse first.

This time, let's explore this Lu Qing's nest first, only by finding out the terrain and troops, can we have the basis for plotting, and it is best to find a way to lure the rebels out of the camp.
