The team continued to move along the Great River Valley, and as they entered the depths of the plane, they encountered more and more ferocious beasts from time to time, and they became stronger and stronger.

Occasionally, hordes of ferocious beasts began to appear, but they were all defeated by them.

In the meantime, they passed near the great lake where many rivers converged, and darkness shrouded them, and they did not see the whole picture of the great lake, but only saw that there were many fish figures on the sandbanks in the large lake that were tens of square kilometers.

They live in lakes, on the tidal flats on the edge of the lake, and in tributaries that flow into large rivers.

As in the legend, these fish-people are extremely widely distributed.

The team did not linger, only looked at it for a moment and left, continuing north.

Crossing the great lake, it was as if crossing a dividing line into the depths of the plane, and the ferocious beasts encountered became noticeably more powerful.

But unexpectedly, the jungle began to thin out, and the density and height of the trees began to decrease.

About twenty kilometers to the north, the trees were so thin that they could no longer block their gaze.

They went into the plains.

The trees thinner and thinner the back, and the grass was half a man's height everywhere, and the great valley began to flatten here.

The highest point on both sides of the big river valley at the edge of the plane is about fifty or sixty meters, and when it reaches the fish-man tribe, it is only twenty or thirty meters, and now it is less than ten meters here, and there is a large river about 100 meters wide in the middle of the valley, which meanders into the distance.

Looking downstream along the river valley, the terrain is getting flatter and flatter, and through the unknown light source, you can see that there is almost no shadow of the river valley behind, just an ordinary river.

Yes, unknown light source.

As they entered the plains deep in the plane, they were surprised to find that the sky seemed to be slowly brightening.

The sky didn't change, it was still dark, only a few stars projected from nowhere.

But on the ground, it seems that there is light in the air, or some kind of light source that cannot be seen directly with the naked eye comes from a distance, and it feels like it is on the night of the fifteenth day of the earth, the moonlight is not strong, but you can clearly see the scenery around and not far away.

As you go deeper into the plane, the brightness of the light gets higher and the viewing distance gets longer.

Several people looked at each other, Xie Zhu pondered for a moment, and said:

"I've seen a situation in a miscellaneous book of exotic sights and stories, if a civilization reaches a certain point in the fragments of the dark plane without solar projection, the light of civilization will be born to shine in all directions."

"The Light of Civilization?"

"Yes, the light of civilization formed by combining the origin of the plane can illuminate the plane like the sun, the stronger the civilization, the wider the irradiation range, and the higher the brightness."

"So ???"

Xie Zhu said with a solemn expression:

"Therefore, within this plane fragment, there must be a kingdom formed by a very powerful alien race, or an ancient relic."

Li Qing's brows furrowed when he heard this.

Standing by the river and looking into the distance, he pondered for a while, and said to his subordinates behind him:

"Set up camp on the spot!"

All the subordinates immediately got busy, cutting the grass, cutting the grass, and guarding the vigilance, just taking a temporary rest, there was no need to build any walls, only put down an arrow tower to sentry.

Several heroes gathered together, and Li Qing pointed to the lower reaches of the flat river and said:

"Usually the edge of the river with gentle water is good for farming, and there must be a town or village on the side."

Xie Zhu added:

"There will definitely be, the light of civilization has extended here, indicating that there are definitely alien towns nearby."

Li Qing nodded and said to Xie Jin:

"Please reconnoiter downstream along the river, but return at a maximum of ten kilometers."

Xie Jin took the order, turned around and left.

Then Li Qing looked at Xie Zhu and said:

"You take five dwarven infantry and five archers to the east, not too far."

Xie Zhu also received the order and quickly went to count the ten subordinates and prepared to set off.

After everyone left, Li Qing went up to the arrow tower and climbed to look around.

Among them, the brightest is the north, the east and west are slightly darker, and the south from which they came is pitch black, and the light of civilization has not shone through, indicating that the unknown powerful alien civilization has not developed to that side.

However, although the sky was inexplicably lit up, it was on the edge of civilization at this time, the brightness was not enough, and the visual distance was not far enough.

However, Li Qing was not in a hurry, he retracted his gaze after looking at it for a while, sat on the top of the arrow tower and took out a magic book, and continued to study while waiting.

Almost two hours later, the sentry on the arrow tower suddenly blew a whistle.

Li Qing immediately stood up and came to the edge of the watchtower, and saw that the barren grass by the river that was more than fifty meters away from the camp was constantly shaking, and it didn't take long to see Xie Jin running wildly towards the camp, and there was a large area of barren grass shaking behind him.

The weeds by the river were so high and dense that it was impossible to see what the pursuers were.

Li Qing did not hesitate and immediately shouted:

"Everyone is ready to fight, and you will meet him."

Long Shou listened to the order, lifted the two-handed sword beside him and strode towards Xie Jin.

When the distance reached about twenty meters, the nearby wild grass was cut down by them, and those pursuers rushed out, Li Qing was slightly surprised.

"Snake people?"

It was seven snake people who were about one meter eight or nine tall, wearing chain mail on the upper body, covered with fine scales from the waist down, and a thick snake body more than two meters long on the lower body, which was very similar to a human being, but with vertical pupils, forked thin tongues, and long swords, shields, or bows and crossbows in both hands.

They are very agile and fast, and they can also enter the water and be fast in the water.

Fortunately, Xie Jin is a stalker, and his speed is fast, so if he changed to other professions, he would have been caught up earlier.

The snake man rushed out of the weeds, and immediately found the dragon guard who rushed out, as well as the garrison camp not far away, and after a little hesitation, several snake people issued an incomprehensible language, and quickly turned around and fled.

Seeing this, Xie Jin shouted:

"Don't let them run, there is a snake town about six kilometers downstream from the river, they enslave many races, if they let them escape back, they will definitely send more troops over."

Li Qing shook his head and said:

"They're fast, they can't catch up."

"But don't worry, we still have time."

Welcoming Xie Jin back, Li Qing asked:

"Tell me more about that town."

Xie Jin took a sip of water and said:

"About six kilometers downstream on the other side of the river, there is a town dominated by snake people, ruled by a snake man nobleman, who enslaved many races, and I secretly observed it for less than half an hour, and I saw humans, half-orcs, jackals, kobolds and other alien races."

"Wait, there are humans on this plane?"

"Yes, but the humans of this plane are not in a good situation, being enslaved as slaves by the snake people."

"How many town guards are there, and have you found the existence of the sixth order transcendental?"

"There are not many snake people guarding the town, and I can't see it very clearly inside the town, but there are quite a lot of slave troops, estimated to be five or six hundred."

"Is there anything else you have found besides that?"

"There is a tower dozens of meters high inside the town, surrounded by a layer of magical aura on the surface, and there is a ball of light at the top that illuminates the entire town and the surrounding area, which is a great threat to me, but I don't know if it's a mage tower, I was just about to get closer to the town and was discovered."

Li Qing

He pinched his eyebrows and nodded:

"I see, let's go rest first."

What Xie Jin brought was definitely bad news, I didn't expect the alien race within this plane fragment to be so strong.

The others don't know, and they may not be able to do anything about the information they have investigated now.

But you can't go, a complete alien town, contains huge benefits.

First of all, not to mention resources, just if the town is completely demolished and the materials are moved, a town can be replicated.

Then there are so many alien races in the town, including a large number of human natives, who can become children after being saved.

And then again.

According to what Xie Jin said, that tower should be a kind of magic tower that imitates the mage tower, it belongs to the shrunken version of the mage tower, if you can take it down, or get the blueprint, it will be cool.

In the end, destroying this town will also condense loot, and there will definitely be essentia inside.

All things are combined, if he can break through this town within two months, he will win this big lesson.

Unless Chu Zai has the ability to wipe out the fishman tribe within two months.

But he felt that this was unlikely, tens of thousands of fishmen, and a giant crocodile of the transcendent level, it was not impossible for their seven War Lord apprentices to join forces, but if they were stuck in two months, they would definitely have to pay a huge loss.

Li Qing didn't believe that they were willing to pay such a big price.

"So, I've got to pick up the pace!"

After about half an hour, Xie Zhu also came back, and went around the east side, but found nothing.

As soon as the people were together, Li Qing asked Xie Zhu to prepare to return to the outpost with ten soldiers, and asked An Erqiu to lead most of the troops who stayed at the outpost.

As long as there are ten people left in the outpost, it is at the landing point of the war lords, and the nearby indigenous alien tribes will not live long before they will be cleared by other apprentices, and the fierce beasts roaming in the wild cannot cross the wooden walls, and the safety is still guaranteed.

Don't worry about other War Lord apprentices, they have an agreement, at least don't worry about the first year.

A year later, Li Qing Qing would have gained a foothold in the interior of the plane, and by that time he would have withdrawn the outpost.

Then Li Qing ordered all the troops in the temporary camp to enter the arrow tower and seal the door.

Unless the Snake Man has a siege crash, it is unlikely that the door will be broken.

The troops were stuck here, and Li Qing blew his whistle to summon the giant eagle to step up, patted the giant eagle on the back, and the giant eagle fluttered its wings and flew into the air and flew downstream of the river.

Even if you want to fight against this snake town, then the information must be accurate.

He had to determine the specific defenders and defenses in the town, and whether there were any supernatural powers, whether there were other towns nearby, whether there were other reinforcements, etc., all had to be figured out.

The siege is not a big problem, let's hang up.

The main thing is the reaction of the snake people after the attack, how fast and strong the counterattack is, which is very important.

The giant eagle soared high in the sky, and Li Qing looked down against the strong wind, and saw a large river wading over the endless wilderness, stretching to the end of the sight.

The giant eagle flies at an altitude of about a thousand meters, and the river is already very small, limited by the field of vision, and the wilderness on both sides only feels a vast green, and the details are completely invisible.

After flying down for a distance, the barrenness on the other side of the river suddenly disappeared, and a large area of cultivated farmland appeared, squarely placed on the bank of the river, Li Qing asked the giant eagle to lower the height, and vaguely saw many figures working on the edge of the field.

He lowered the eagle again, and saw that the workers were human slaves in tattered linen.

In the field, I occasionally saw a snake man overseer with a leather whip, and whoever moved slowly was a whip.

He didn't alarm below, and the giant eagle rose and flew downstream.

It wasn't long before the outline of a town appeared in front of him in the gray mist in the distance, and in the distance, he saw a tall tower surrounded by a layer of transparent streamers standing in the center of the town.

The eagle slowed down, and under his control, began to scout around the town in the distance.

The town faces the river, and there are docks along the river, where many fishing boats cast their nets to catch fish, and there are also cargo ships full of cargo ships heading downstream.

The town is centered on a tower, surrounded by a ring of stone buildings, which are both buildings and walls, like a castle.

Outside the castle is a ring of wooden houses in Central, a ring of broken sheds in the outer ring, and the main street is between the Central and the Outer Ring, and many figures of different heights walk on the street.

The town is surrounded by a low wall, roughly about five meters wide and less than four meters high, which looks quite old, but there are still many guards on it.

The outside of the town was full of farmland, and Li Qing drove the giant eagle away from the town and flew to the north of the town, and the river was full of farmland.

Continuing down the river for about seven kilometres, there is a tributary that joins the river, and at the junction there is a village of snake people.

Continuing down the village, a second village was found about ten kilometers away.

Less than two kilometers further down, you will see a second town.

Li Qing did not continue down, turned back to the first town, and flew west.

There was still a large area of farmland outside the town, but only two or three kilometers away from it, and after crossing a snake village, large hills began to appear behind it, and the terrain became higher and higher, and finally a mountain range with no end in sight appeared.

Further on, the light of civilization could not shine, and the direction of the mountains was dark.

Li Qing did not continue to move forward, controlling the giant eagle to return along the hills.

As soon as he crossed a snake man village, Li Qing suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye, and immediately asked the giant eagle to return, and then saw that a small hill a mile away from the snake man village was hiding a large number of heavily armed human soldiers in the valley between the two mountain packs.

"Imperial elite infantry?"

The armor and weapons that were exactly the same as those under his own command, Li Qing recognized at a glance that this was not an indigenous human, but a subordinate from the War Lord.

He was extremely surprised to let the giant eagle hover in the air to reconnoitre, and soon saw a War Lord apprentice and several seemingly heroes in the rear of this force with a total size of nearly two hundred, and he was not impressed.

"Are there apprentices from other mentors around here?"

Li Qing rubbed his chin and ordered the giant eagle to rise higher so as not to be discovered.

It was clear that the target of this force was the snake man village not far away.
