After asking about the surrounding situation, Liang En quickly set up the magic circle he had prepared earlier on the edge of the volcano. Then he and the hunter visited the six tribes closest to him, and the results of the visit were exactly the same as what he had asked from the hunter earlier.

All the tribes looked miserable - the dwellings were low huts made of branches, leaves, and bark, and those who lived in shacks where people were allowed to squat at best.

In the center of the tribe are totem poles and fires, in which the power of faith is condensed and is the core of the survival of these tribes in the wild western part of the American continent.

The fire is another symbol of civilization, they are able to use the fire to make cooked food, make all kinds of necessary tools, and even provide faint light and heat on cold nights.

Except for this fire, the others can only use some small branches to temporarily light a little bit of fire to barely illuminate it, and they are not allowed to make a fire without permission.

This is done because they lack enough fuel, or because they have the manpower and skills to get enough fuel from the surrounding area, so they can only use fuel in a centralized way to ensure fuel efficiency.

Upon learning that Liang had defeated the monster at the foot of the volcano, each tribe he went to treated him as if he were the most honored guest, and gave them what they considered to be the most precious gifts.

Liang could tell that the gifts had taken all the tribes to, but whether it was the coarse furs, the rotting fat or the dried salted fish larger than an arm, they were nothing short of miserable.

But in order not to embarrass the other party, Liang En could only accept these things head-on, and then gave back the gifts prepared in advance - some knives and other tools made of special rust-resistant steel.

Obviously, these gifts were well received by the auxiliaries, and Liang also took the opportunity to express his current claim for land to the aborigines living in the surrounding area.

These indigenous tribes were unexpectedly easy to talk about Liang En's request, after all, in their eyes, although the land that Liang En was asking for now had excellent natural resources, it had been occupied by monsters.

Although it is said that the monster has been killed now, it is a monster that Liang En has taken action to destroy, so it is in the eyes of the auxiliary. It was also a natural thing for the owner of that land to be replaced by Liang En.

Especially for these indigenous people, who have been living in harsh conditions before. From the bottom of their hearts, they believe that whoever is strong is justified, so it is only natural for a strong man like Liang En to occupy the best land.

Of course, considering the fact that there are few people and many people in this land, Liang also generously offered them to allow them to enter his territory in winter to avoid the cold and dangerous creatures of winter.

Because he has embodied his strength before, showing his benevolence at this time will not make others feel that Liang En is weak, but will feel that he is even stronger-

Because in this desolate land, kindness means giving a part of one's resources to others, which is also what only the truly strong can do.

After all, the local climate makes it impossible for the people living here to get enough supplies, and even the strongest of these tribes can only ensure that the tribesmen will not starve to death in normal times, and it is completely impossible to store something.

Only a really, powerful force beyond their imagination could possess a large amount of resources in this place, and even be able to use it to give alms to other people, and such a powerful existence had never appeared in this land before.

So when Liang visited every tribe, his name would spread among that tribe, and by the time he visited all the tribes, he had become the patron saint of the people of the region.

Although the combined number of these tribes was less than a thousand, Liang En could feel the power of pure faith formed by their pious worship surging towards him.

In fact, he had felt the power of faith before. For example, there are many people in his pioneer who worship him. Sometimes the power of faith is also offered.

But the power of this faith is mottled and impure, after all, he is only regarded as a man and not a god in those places, so the so-called belief in him is more of a worship.

And now the local natives really worship him as a god, so Liang En can feel the pure power of faith, even if there are not many of them, but it also makes Liang En feel this power for the first time.

Although Liang En did not plan to go to the path of God, these powers were still very valuable to him. For example, the power of sunlight and frost in his possession belong to the power of the gods.

Under normal circumstances, Liang En can gradually increase his strength through cultivation, and everything can be carried out step by step, but if he has the power of faith, his cultivation speed can be greatly improved.

In addition to the practice, the greatest significance of this exchange for Liang En was to understand the situation around the future development site, which laid the foundation for the next step of the development work.

It's a pity that his luck this time is not very good, at least he didn't encounter so many things at the previous pioneering point, and naturally he didn't establish much in-depth contact with the local natives.

Therefore, he did not know much about the almost barren frontier before, and he did not know much about the surrounding environment except for the island itself.

Fortunately, the environment around the frontier is good, plus the target location is a separate island. Therefore, even if the intelligence collection is incomplete, there will not be much problem in future development.

After completing the reconnaissance of the two frontier sites, Liang began to sail back to his hometown in the west, because in his plan, the first frontier territories of the New World were only the two points that were now being explored.

After all, given the distance between the mainland and this side, the number of immigrants at this stage is definitely not large, and the local environment is harsh, so concentrating people in two or three settlements is obviously a very reasonable choice.

Moreover, the current two settlements were not randomly chosen, and they were evenly arranged on the west coast of the Americas, which could provide important supply points for the future imperial court's exploration of the south.

"If I'm not mistaken, by the end of this year and early next year, the imperial court's tentative immigration will begin, and before that, I should at least set up a simple supply depot to avoid unnecessary casualties."

As he rode the boat to the west, Liang En quickly calculated in his mind, and at the same time made a plan of action for the next step.

"According to the people in Momen, the first steam-powered sailing boats will also be put into service in the second half of this year, and if there are no accidents, it will most likely be used for this kind of long-distance travel."

"However, steam sailing ships need enough fuel, even if they really have extraordinary power, they are completely inexpensive in terms of cost, so the fuel supply station will also be the core of future construction, and the supply of other materials will naturally not be less."

"Although I don't know how many ships will choose the northern route, it is still necessary to make a good reserve of supplies, after all, it would be really stupid if this kind of money delivered to the door will not be earned."
