Wang Xing didn't expect the tax officer to be so bold, knowing that he had killed a powerful witch, and after a word, he was willing to send troops and manpower over.

However, when the actual situation is, we need to actually see what it will be.

And for now, it is true that Wang Xing has the benefits in his hands.

[Synthetic Stone: It can be synthesized into equipment and materials below the second order to make a set. The more materials you add, the better the quality, and the more powerful the final result. Can be crafted upper limit, 2nd order. 】

Seeing the synthetic stone, Wang Xing thought of the forging stone he had obtained before.

After the solution to the core of the destruction god, he had determined that these things were simple to use and powerful.

"I just got the materials before, get some steel and fur, and give it a try."

Wang Xing didn't do things in a hurry right away, but put away these materials and props, and then slept peacefully for a night. As for the tax officer who came over, he has been hiding in the house and not being rude, and the other party is really not a pure showmanship, but has been attacked on the road and needs to recuperate.

After checking and sealing the cart full of grain, one of the two carriages brought over, plus the carriage in the village, was loaded with grain and resources, and was taken to a safer town by the masters around Hu Jie, some militiamen, and the strong men of the village.

Early the next morning, the tax officer had a meal in the morning, so he went directly to the battle with Hu Jie and a few other cavalrymen, and a carriage behind him carried several other elite and half infantry to the next place.

Wang Xing watched these people leave, and the village chief and the others were even more in awe of Wang Xing.

All this is thanks to the tax collector, a person with status, who opened his mouth, so although Wang Xing killed the witch, the villagers not only did not feel that the witch came back to retaliate, but because Wang Xing would wait here for the army to come and protect them, they were more energetic.

Since Wang Xing got the identity, he didn't waste it, and before he went around, he began to assign tasks to these people.

After the surrounding mountains and forests were felled, some of the timber was used to reinforce the stone walls around the village, and some were made into defensive equipment such as horses.

Although Wang Xing is not afraid of witches and demons, ordinary people can survive in front of weak demons for a while longer, and then wait for him to kill witches and other dangers, and in the end everyone has a better chance of surviving.

After simply arranging these things for ordinary people to work hard and relieve their worries with fatigue, Wang Xing began to wander around the village.

The equipment on his body is all at the level of the first order, and it is not clear what Wang Xing lacks when he is promoted to the second order. In order not to waste this strange synthetic stone as much as possible, he needs to collect all kinds of materials.

So Wang Xing caught the beasts around him and began to attack.

The wild boar was killed, and after death, more than 20 essences were given, and after killing three, luck was good, in addition to the meat on the wild boar, the wild boar skin that could be regarded as a material was additionally obtained.

According to the Core of the God of Destruction, the materials collected in reality and the materials that are dropped are two different things.

The corpses of powerful monsters will quickly melt and dissolve after death, and the weaker humans and beasts will die at different rates depending on the strength of their intelligence or soul.

The wild boar killed by Wang Xing was huge, but the soul was weak, so the meat could be cut after death and made into materials such as jerky, and it would not be stored naturally for more than ten days before slowly disappearing in the world.

This kind of beast that gives a lot of essence, the material on its body can only be regarded as average.

Then there are other kills that give the essence that may not be as much as that of a beast like a wild boar, but after death, the body will quickly melt and dissipate after a few hours.

Wang Xing killed several of them, cutting materials as much as he could with the demon daggers he had obtained earlier. These materials include bones, teeth, and fur, a few tough tendons, and things like a very fast, palm-sized, tough fascia.

In addition, the most valuable thing is a group of similar monsters similar to the ones controlled by witches before, with large bellies and short limbs, but huge body impacts.

These monsters don't give as much essence as the witch after killing, but the corpses dissipate quickly.

Fortunately, after Wang Xing left the village and wandered around for a long time, he came across quite a few.

After more than five days of exploration, Wang Xing returned to the village from time to time with some ores, and asked the blacksmiths to refine themselves, completely stopping their actions of crafting materials.

According to the mercenaries who rode to the vicinity in advance, Hu Jie had already escorted the tax collector to his final destination, and after the news from there, there would be troops nearby within half a month to wait for Wang Xing's dispatch.

Wang Xing collected a wave of materials, and he was not ready to continue wasting time around.

Probably knowing the terrain and the distribution of monsters and beasts, there is no need to really get so many materials. According to the Core of the God of Destruction, the more precious materials are much more effective than the materials of the first level.

And he couldn't find the witch, and the few materials he got from the witch's demons before were naturally the most precious. There is no need to waste time by collecting more poor quality.

After eating and drinking enough at night, Wang Xing finished soaking in warm water and put the equipment he had scrubbed clean when he was taking a bath in his room.

Take the materials from your own space and place them on the floor of the huge bedroom, and arrange them one by one.

First of all, it is the equipment with the best attributes that has been strengthened by the forger. In addition to the armor he was wearing, Wang Xing put his long sword on it after the affirmation of the core of the Destruction God.

After thinking about it, Wang Xing still took out the ring and the demon dagger, and after the strengthening of the forging stone, the effect of the two new equipment has been greatly improved.

First of all, it is the leader of the Ring Demons, and the enhanced willpower has doubled to ten points, and the spiritual power has also reached forty points, an increase of fifteen points. And the number of Shadow Fiends that can be summoned has been increased to five.

Then there is the Demon Dagger, which increases its hardness from two to five and sharpness from two to three. The physical body did not increase much, from nine to twelve. The speed went from two to three.

The attributes of the two pieces of equipment were already good, and Wang Xing estimated that they were more than one order according to the core of the God of Destruction. However, there are many other things like forging stones, and low-level stones can actually strengthen high-level equipment, but they will consume more.

If the stratum is too high, it will lose its effect.

After the last wave of strengthening, Wang Xing decisively put all the equipment together, surrounded the materials, took out the synthetic stone, and aimed it at the pile of things below.

"Synthesis suit!"

Suddenly, the synthetic stone in Wang Xing's hand shattered violently, and a large cloud of green light rushed out.
