The strength of the Fifth Order, Void Breaking Gargoyle, and Complete Body is completely different from before.

With the Sky-Breaking Gargoyle protecting Celia, Li Xiya can also be more assured.

Li Xiya patted Celia's head and said:

"Alright, let Little Stone accompany you on other biome adventures. Remember to come back early! ”

"You should also pay attention to safety on the road, after all, the previous incident of the Etherian Goblin Scout happened in the past few days, and I am afraid that the forest biome will not be too safe in the future!"

"I was negligent last night, I shouldn't have built the Crimson Realm, I can't accompany you today, but Godfather promises, when it starts tomorrow, Godfather will accompany you to other biome exploration adventures!"

"Uh-huh, okay!"

Celia is actually very understanding, knows the priority of things, and is not really angry because Li Xiya can't accompany her:

"Don't worry, godfather, I'm leaving, so are you, don't be too tired in the shelter!"

"Hahaha, good!"

After watching Celia and the Skybreaker Gargoyle leave the shelter, Li Xiya came to the workshop, summoned the core of the shelter, took out a large batch of meteorite ingots obtained from selling resources, and easily took out the meteorite ingots that had been smelted in the intermediate authority furnace, plus the meteorite ingots in the intermediate authority storage box.

These scattered numbers add up, and it's really not a small amount!

"Well, almost!"

Li Xiya estimated the resources in his hand, and immediately upgraded all the primary authority storage boxes in the workshop to intermediate authority storage boxes.

Then take the remaining Meteorite Bars to the sanctuary courtyard, walk over to the Primary Authority: Crimson Drop Auto Collector, summon the upgrade panel data, and look intently.

[Intermediate Authority: Crimson Drop Automatic Collection Device Upgrade Requirements: Intermediate Authority: Storage Box x1, Meteorite Bar x300, Crimtane Bar x600, Demon Ore Bar x600, Gold Bar x3000, Platinum Bar x3000, Silver Bar x3000, Tungsten Bar x3000, Shelter Level 8 (Upgrade duration 18 hours)]

[Upgrade: Yes/No]

As the only building in the shelter, the resources required to upgrade the automatic Crimson Drop Collection Device are very large, and they are not at all comparable to the simple functional buildings such as the city wall, and correspondingly, the effect of the Crimson Drop Automatic Collection Device is also very powerful.

It can be said that you get what you pay for, especially after the scarlet assimilation enhancement, the effect is even better!

Anyway, in Li Xiya's opinion, even if the resources spent are a bit too much, it is worth the money.

Li Xiya did not hesitate at all, and immediately took out all the resources from the fish-man sacrifice magic backpack and chose to upgrade.

As the resources turned into a stream of light and disappeared, Li Xiya casually used the Architectural Enlightenment Elixir and the Gold Architectural Hammer.

After a few moments of waiting, the building has been upgraded with the help of a number of shelter building buffs.

[Name: Intermediate Authority: Crimson Drop Automatic Collector]

[Type: Architecture, Special, Crimson Exclusive]

[Level: Level 8]

【Quality: Excellent】

[Robust value: 75000x3]

[Defense: 200]

[Area: 4 square meters]

[Height: 30 meters]

[Pickup range: 3000 meters radius]

[Pickup Capacity: 73/360]

[Normal Effect: The Crimson Drop Automatic Collector collects drops from enemies killed within a radius of 3,000 meters with the Shelter as the core 24 hours a day, and has a 360-block storage space]

[Greedy Authority: When collecting drops, there is a 40% chance to activate a critical hit effect (Drop Resources x4 / Drop Advanced Resources x1)]

[Trait (1/8): Tree of Life Shelter (Restores 1 Solidity per second!] ）】

[Trait (2/8): Heart of the Cactus (Fixed 15 damage damage per attack!] ）】

[Trait (3/8): Buster's Blessing (All buildings in the Shelter Defense System gain 50 Defense Blessing!) ）】

[Trait (4/8): Buster's Inspiration (All buildings in the Sanctuary Defense System gain 20% Defense Boost!] ）】

[Trait (5/8): Buster's Blessing (All buildings in the Shelter Defense System receive a 20% Sturdiness increase!] ）】

[Note: The automatic drop collection device enhanced by Crimson Assimilation not only has a larger pickup range, but also has a larger pickup capacity, and on this basis, the Greedy authority has been further strengthened]

[When collecting drops, there is a 40% chance to get 4 times the same resource, or an advanced resource of a single resource, which will undoubtedly provide players with more and better quality drops, and will also increase the player's income after sleeping]

The data of the Intermediate Authority Crimson Drop Automatic Collection Device have been enhanced to a certain extent, especially the trigger chance of the Greedy Authority and the harvest speed obtained have been further strengthened, which is what makes Li Xiya the happiest.

And because of the Origin Fragments of the Abundant Deities and the Origin Fragments of the Buster Deities, even these buildings have been greatly enhanced, and it can be said that the entire shelter is impregnable.

Busy until the evening, Celia returned with the Skybreaker Gargoyle, and at dinner, Celia was still talking about the encounter with the Sky-Breaker Gargoyle today.

Li Xiya nodded with a smile and echoed a few words from time to time.

After dinner, Li Xiya took a break to rest, and the countdown to the twenty-four-hour limit for building the Scarlet Nation was completely over, and he could accompany Celia out on an adventure tomorrow.

"Didi!"

"Didi!"

At this moment, several system prompts came from the team's channel.

Li Xiya called out the panel of the team's channel and looked at it intently.

[Li Bianqing]: @全体成员, ever since Li Xiya found out about the Etherian Goblin Scouts, I have been spreading the word through the Intelligence Network and regional channels, and trying to collect as many players as possible who have encountered the Etherian Goblin Scouts!

[Li Bianqing]: It doesn't matter if you don't analyze it, it's really shocking to analyze it, thirty percent of the players in the regional channel have encountered Etherian Goblin scouts, and in front of such a large base number of people in the regional channel, thirty percent is simply an astronomical number.

[Li Bianqing]: And I have reason to believe that before Li Xiya released the news of the Etherian Goblin Scout, it must not have been the first time that the Etherian Goblin Scout entered the forest biome, because I collected the daily number of dead players on the regional channel recently, and found that since a week ago, the number of dead players on the regional channel has increased abnormally, and the increase is getting bigger and bigger!

[Li Bianqing]: So I have reason to believe that before Li Xiya broke the news about the Etherian Goblin Scout, a considerable number of players had already been attacked by the Etherian Goblin Scout!

[Wang Fugui]: Isn't that right? @李边青, Great God Bianqing, you have worked hard, but I do have a doubt, didn't the Great God of Xiya show us the panel data of the Etherian Goblin Scout before? As long as an enemy attacks us, players should be able to easily deal with the strength of a superficially fourth-order Etherian Goblin Scout, which in fact does not even have some third-order captain-level enemies, right?

Seeing this, Li Xiya frowned slightly, and after contemplating secretly, he spoke-

[Li Xiya]: Wait! @李边青, Brother Bian Qing, do you mean that thirty percent of players have encountered Etherian Goblin Scouts, and some of them have also encountered poisoners?

[Li Bianqing]: That's right! Although as Wang Fugui said, the Etherian Goblin Scouts are very weak, and this result is difficult to convince, but this is a conclusion based on data analysis, so even if it is absurd, this conclusion is credible.

[Li Bianqing]: We think the result is ridiculous, maybe it is also due to some conditions that we have ignored!

Are certain conditions overlooked?

Wait a minute!

Li Xiya suddenly remembered something.

[Li Xiya]: I think I know!

[Li Bianqing]: Oh? What is it?

[Li Xiya]: Although the Etherian Goblin Scout is not strong in four-dimensional attributes, it is inferior to some third-order captain-level enemies, and its skills are also biased towards running and moving, but don't forget, its passive skills are almost all set up around talking and bewitching players!

[Li Xiya]: In particular, if you want to see through the disguise of the Etherian Goblin Scout, you need to have a mental power of up to 15 points, and in the entire regional channel, how many players can reach this level of mental power?

[Li Xiya]: So I was able to see through the disguise of the Etherian Goblin Scout, but it was only an extreme case, and more players would not be able to recognize the identity of the Etherian Goblin Scout when they encountered the Etherian Goblin Scout.

[Li Xiya]: And when I encountered the Etherian Goblin Scout, he was disguised as a Goblin Merchant, and in the course of the conversation, he led the conversation to the Sanctuary, and he wanted the player to bring him into the Sanctuary.

[Xu Hongdou]: I think I understand what you mean, the Vault Core is the foundation of a player's survival, once other players can't see through the disguise of the Etherian Goblin Scout, and really lead the Etherian Goblin Scout into their own Shelter, then maybe the Etherian Goblin Scout has some means to destroy the Vault Core instantly.

[Li Xiya]: That's right, that's what I meant!

[Li Bianqing]: Hmm...... In this way, the logic makes sense!

[Wang Fugui]: Well, great gods, but I have a question, I have also read the panel data of the Etherian Goblin Scout, what is the means you are talking about destroying the core of the shelter in an instant?

[Li Xiya]: Hahaha, who knows? Maybe it's a makeshift portal, or maybe it's a self-destruction, but the Etherian Goblin Scouts have a way of dealing with the heart of the Sanctuary.

[Li Bianqing]: I'll inform other players about this through my intelligence network and regional channels now!

[Li Xiya]: I'm afraid it's too late, in addition to facing the Etherian Goblin Scouts, we should also think that a large army, in addition to the Scouts, there are other troops, and now that the Etherian Goblin Scouts have been discovered by us, the disguise of the Etherian Goblin Scouts will no longer play a role in the future, and......

[Xu Hongdou]: and ...... After a week of mapping, the Etherian Goblin Scouts may have already finished mapping the forest biome.

[Li Xiya]: That's right, so what we face next is probably a real army attack from the evil god Satan!

[Li Xiya]: @李边青, tell everyone on the regional channel to get ready, even if there is no system announcement now, maybe in a few days, there will be a system announcement!

And the truth is just as Li Xiya expected.

Two days later.

Even the most stupid players seem to smell a kind of mountain rain that is about to blow all over the building.

That's the breath of war!

That's going to die!

In the afternoon, Li Xiya upgraded the city wall and arrow tower of the shelter, and just wanted to rest for a while, he heard the system prompt sound in his ears.

【System Announcement——】

[All players of Regional Channel 9527 should note that the Etherian Goblin Scouts sent by the army of Followers of the Satanic Plane have completed the map of the forest biome, and the preparations for the war of the Satanic Plane have been completed]

[Starting tomorrow at 8 a.m., the Forest biome will welcome an unprecedented invasion of the Old One's Faith Plane Army!] 】

[Current Forest Biome Irreversible Progression: 30%]

[Once the irreversible process of the forest biome reaches 88%, then the evil god Satan, who has long been revived, will be able to break through the barriers of the forest biome and descend directly!] 】

[At that time, players will face the god who has recovered his strength and rekindled the divine fire - Satan!] 】

[There is not much time left for Regional Channel 9527 players, please be prepared to deal with this - Satanic Plane Invasion]

【Of course!】 】

[In this special event, the core of the forest biome will take the initiative to host the War Shop, where we can kill the army of the satanic faith plane, obtain badges, and use them to exchange them for powerful magic weapons, rare accessories, cherished recipes, top skills, and enhanced gold sources, and even everything you want!] 】

[Life or death, in the hands of each player, good luck to all players!] 】

【Oh~! 】

[I forgot to tell you that after the Old One's Invasion begins, the Forest biome will fall into Blood Moon mode, and the enemy strength of the Old One's Faith Plane army will be increased by 30%!] 】

[Hey, hey, hey! How is the joke? Isn't it funny? 】

[What? You ask me if the blood moon is real or fake? 】

[Please! 】

[I—I never tell lies!] 】
