“Regarding this matter…”
At this point, a serious expression appeared on Wang Qiu'er’s face. “This is exactly what your servant wanted to report to you after you woke up.”
“Oh?”
Lin Yi sat up straight.
“The beast anomaly the hunting party encountered yesterday is related to an Undead Lord from the north!” Wang Qiu’er said, word by word.
“An Undead Lord?”
Lin Yi’s eyes showed confusion. “The trial barrier hasn’t dissipated yet. Isn’t this the area for us Blue Star Human Race Lords?”
According to the latest intelligence he had gathered from the channel,
before the Newcomer King Trial began, each area only had Lords of its own race.
Even if there were foreign race forces,
they were all native strongholds, without the miraculous power of creation that World Lords possessed.
Their purpose was merely to add some challenge for new Lords.
To serve as stepping stones, allowing the strong to become stronger.
That was all.
The anomaly of the beast horde in the basin could absolutely not be caused by a native stronghold.
But if it were a mysterious Undead Lord, he couldn't be sure.
“Is there any other information?” Lin Yi pressed.
“The leader of that Nether Ghost Tribe was conscious but vague…” Wang Qiu’er recalled the conversation in the Dream Network and continued, “The specific reason wasn’t clearly explained.”
“However, what’s certain is that the beast horde gathered in our western basin was influenced by that Undead Lord.”
“And the other party discovered our location and contacted the Nether Ghost Tribe to launch a surprise attack on us.”
“The Nether Ghost Tribe should be over 300 kilometers away from us, and that Undead Lord is probably about the same distance.”
After listening to her explanation, Lin Yi couldn't help but frown.
If it was a foreign race Lord, it would make sense for him to attack him by using a foreign race without proper justification.
However…
According to the distribution of surrounding Lords,
the other party should have attacked closer Human Race Lords instead.
Why did he specifically target him?
Most importantly, this Undead Lord wouldn't be trying to turn all the beast hordes into his skeleton army, would he?
Thinking of the games he used to play, Undead Mages were very good at recruiting small soldiers from corpses.
If that were really the case, then the beast horde in the basin would probably be in grave danger…
“Send a team of sharp ones to investigate over there,” Lin Yi ordered.
Wang Qianqian went with Xiang Yi to attack the Jackalweres camp, and she probably wouldn't be back until evening.
He could only let others investigate first.
Watching Wang Qiu’er leave, Lin Yi suddenly jolted, quickly put on his clothes, and walked out of the house.
He almost forgot about the Guang Long Nest.
After working overtime all night, the Niu Ma should have fulfilled their promise, right?
Creak—
The door opened.
A dazzling white light instantly blinded Lin Yi.
“What the hell is that?!”
His eyes were temporarily blinded. After recovering, Lin Yi furiously wanted to find the culprit.
The moment he looked up,
he was immediately drawn to a majestic, magnificent, giant light bulb.
Obviously,
the former was what had just flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes.
However, at this moment, that light bulb was slowly dimming, and in a few breaths, it revealed its original appearance.
It was a mountain!
To be precise, it was a mountain made of countless light crystals and stones.
No!
Didn't the basic building materials only include light crystals? Where did the stones come from?
“Oh, so that’s it…”
Lin Yi looked enlightened, gazing at the hundred-meter-tall mountain in front of him.
“So, special buildings only need to gather key materials, and the rest will be filled in by the Lord’s will?”
“It’s a good thing the construction is relatively user-friendly, otherwise, I wouldn’t even be able to gather all the stones for this entire mountain.”
The Crystal Mountain was smooth like a mirror all over. Apart from a huge cave in the middle of the mountain, there were also many extended platforms around it.
The largest platform was estimated to be nearly a hundred meters, and the smaller ones were also forty to fifty meters.
Looking at it this way, the Crystal Mountain, strictly speaking, looked more like a uniquely shaped withered tree.
As for the purpose of those platforms…
Lin Yi licked his lips, “There are no giant dragons yet, so the Guang Long Nest doesn’t live up to its name…”
Thinking of this, he strode forward.
“Lord, what about our task…” The Niu Ma captain saw him come out, bowed, and smiled, wanting to say a few words to deepen his impression in the Lord’s mind.
“Get lost and find something to do yourself, I don’t have time.”
Lin Yi reached out to stop him.
“Alright, alright.”
The Niu Ma captain showed no annoyance upon hearing this, obediently rolled on the ground to the side, showing no shame, and directed the other Niu Ma to help the villagers with their tasks.
Arriving at the foot of the Crystal Mountain,
with a thought, the basic information of the nest appeared in Lin Yi’s vision.
【Guang Long Nest】
Type: Racial Base
Special Status: Sub-Base Building
Recruitable: Young Dragon (Cost: purple crystal coins * 100,000)
Buildable: Mountain Platform (Cost per hundred square meters: light crystal x1, purple crystal coins x10 - can be used for giant dragons to rest and train.), Inheritance Sanctuary (Cost: Ancient Wisdom Crystal x1, light crystal x1000.)
Upgrade Requirements: Tier 2 Demon Core x10, Stone x50000, light crystal x2000
Description: A cloud kingdom forged by holy radiance, every inch of mountain rock is engraved with the glory of the dragon race, and every ray of dawn becomes a breeding ground for hatching dragon might.
.........
Compared to the territory panel,
the settings for the Giant Dragon Nest were significantly simplified.
Lin Yi checked the special status and quickly understood its specific meaning.
If a sub-base building is destroyed, it will only harm the interests of the relevant Lord and will not substantially affect the Lord's life safety.
Correspondingly,
within this type of building, various Lord permissions possessed by main base buildings cannot be executed.
However, all the essential racial buildings and functions are present.
The completion of the nest would only positively improve Lin Yi’s strength.
However...
When Lin Yi, who was eager to recruit a giant dragon, looked at the recruitment cost of a Young Dragon, he instantly couldn't hold back!
“How much?????”
Lin Yi’s eyes widened, and he counted carefully, confirming that he hadn’t misread!
Damn it!
One Young Dragon costs 100,000 purple crystal coins?
Why don’t you just rob someone!
For the 10,000 purple crystal coins needed to upgrade his territory to level 3, Lin Yi almost sold his underwear.
Now,
the recruitment price of a Light Young Dragon was ten times more expensive.
Even if he sold himself, he couldn’t afford it.
Finally, Lin Yi looked at the empty Crystal Mountain and set it aside, no longer paying attention to it.
Under the effect of Wang Qiu’er’s Dream Network,
the territory gained 300 new villagers with normal household registration.
Now that he had Niu Ma slaves as basic labor,
he simply had Wang Fugui incorporate everyone into the Scarlet Tassel Spearman training sequence.
However,
when checking the new villager panels, Lin Yi only then discovered that
many people had only numbers in the name column, and even their actions and speech were like idiots, making him want to slap them back into their mothers' wombs for a complete re-creation.
Fearing that such idiocy might be contagious,
Lin Yi, after careful consideration, classified them as lower-class villagers and organized them separately.
By the time all matters were handled,
unconsciously, it was already evening.
Thump thump thump—
Thump thump thump—
A series of orderly footsteps approached from afar.
From the watchtower at the territory gate, the sentry’s cheers also came.
“Xiang Yi is back!”
Lin Yi’s spirits lifted.
Besides the construction of the Guang Long Nest today,
this was the matter he cared about the most!
Destroying a complete Jackalweres camp must have brought other gains, right…?
