Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 472 Signing a Contract
It was just the two of them, and since they were already familiar with the journey, they had already figured out their goals and everything they needed to get.

So this time Alka directly controls the mirror to form a flying magic mirror.Carrying Yanjiao, he quickly rushed towards the edge of the mountains and the direction of the stone forest.

They saved at least half the time compared to when they came here. It only took them a few days to see the valley depression where the stone forest was located from a distance.It blends in with the surrounding mountains so that no one can even notice it.

Perhaps because Yanjiao was following him, Alka clearly saw another sentry from the Stonehoof tribe aware of their presence.

But they didn't come to intercept them, and just let them move towards the interior.

Iwakaku looked at the place in front of him.

"I'm back, but nothing has changed."

As if aware of his return, Alka saw a half-elemental creature in the shape of a minotaur who looked exactly like him guarding the gate.He walked out directly through the rock.

Looking at the corner of the rock, they hugged each other.

There was some kind of silent communication.

Although Alka didn't know what they were communicating, and he couldn't see any expression on the tauren's dull face.

But it can be seen from Yanjiao's relatively straightforward expression that the person he was talking about should be the semi-elemental creature who died in the center of the mountain range.

Alka remembered Yanjiao saying that the one who died was his brother, maybe he also had the appearance of a tauren.

After the exchange, Alka followed the two of them directly through the wall and entered the interior of the stone forest. It was no different than when they left.

The weird and tall Great Elder Triangle Rock came over.

After a silent exchange with Yanjiao, he raised his head and looked at Alka.

"Human friend, I have heard him say, thank you for your help."

Alka smiled and nodded, and took out the three obtained crystal cores from the space.

Handed the core to the elder in front of him.

The elder watched as Alka gathered all three in such a short period of time.He thought one would be pretty good.

Although I can feel the emotion of surprise, there is no change in appearance.After taking it, he nodded and thanked Alka: "Thank you, you are now a sincere friend of our family. Please let me prepare a thank you gift for you."

Seeing the elder who was about to leave, Alka quickly stopped him and said, "I'm here because there are more important things I want to communicate with you."

Upon hearing this, the great elder turned and looked at him again.

Yanjiao was also standing nearby waiting.

“The environment in this world is very unfavorable for your survival, and there are no conditions for your offspring to be born.

But I have a place here with a pure single earth element, which is very suitable for you to live and reproduce. "

Hearing Alka's words, the great elder didn't believe it at first and became wary, but he still stared at Alka with a dull face.

Alka knew that he would not be able to believe it so simply, and looked at Yanjiao to indicate that it was his turn.

Yanjiao nodded, immediately walked up, and began to communicate with the great elder with silent waves.

Looking at this scene, Alka took two steps back slightly and observed with eyes that could detect emotional fluctuations.

With the silent exchange, Alka could clearly see that the great elder's mood gradually changed from vigilance and doubt to belief, and then quickly turned into excitement and surprise.

After the exchange, the great elder looked at Alka and said: "If it can be done, then our clan will sign an elemental contract with you.

We will be used by you and fight for you. In exchange, you can provide our tribe with a suitable environment for us to survive in it. "

Very straightforward, it seems that the entire group has a relatively straightforward personality.

Alka nodded with satisfaction, agreeing with such simple contract conditions.

He provides a safe place to live so that the entire tribe in front of him can reproduce, and the entire tribe in front of him signs a contract to provide him with labor and combat power.

A very good deal.

After all, if it can really give birth to offspring, then the race can be truly continued.Unless Alka sends them to their death.

Then they will naturally refuse.

As for the actual signing of the contract, it will not officially start until the whole thing is completely settled.

"Can...let me see that area with my own eyes?" the great elder asked.

Alka nodded: "Of course." As he spoke, he reached out and pulled to the side, and a crack in the space opened.

He walked in with the great elder and Yanjiao.

During this period of time on the road, Alka continued to instill the magic power of a single earth element into it.

At this time, inside this closed space, the magic power of the earth has become very strong, and the ground has long since recovered.

The once barren plains had turned into brown earth and raised mud boulders.

One enters here.

The strength of the Great Elder Triangle Rock began to rise while Alka could see it with the naked eye.

The cracks on his body actually began to close and recover, and he soon entered the primary stage of the 8th stage.

And stabilized here.

Alka just stared blankly.

Why wasn't there such a change when Yanjiao entered here before?

This change came unexpectedly.

However, looking at Yan Jiao's expression, it seems that this is a very normal phenomenon. It may be due to differences in performance due to differences in strength or stage.

Alka couldn't quite understand this situation.

As for the fact that the great elder in front of him suddenly went crazy and wanted to attack him and obtain the treasure in his hand, he had never thought about it.

Not everyone can master treasures, especially people like them from other worlds.

Alka would still be wary if she was facing someone who was from this world.

"Very good...it fully meets the environmental conditions for nurturing new life. It's great."

The great elder's words became fluent in an instant, and there were ups and downs of emotions.

The feeling of the whole person has changed from the old one just now to the feeling of a strong man.

It can also be seen from the appearance that the cracks all over the body have completely disappeared, and even the soil and stones on the surface have become shiny.

He turned to look at Alka.

Then he raised his right hand, and a large amount of elemental power began to gather on the palm of his right hand.

A thick stone slab appeared in front of Alka, full of thick aura and patterned totems.

Then the carvings of sacred words began to appear on it.

And it was specially converted into the words used by Homesea that Alka can easily understand and understand.

The above is exactly the content of the contract they just mentioned before.

After the contract is signed, the residents of Stonehoof will fight for Alka at his disposal.Alka will provide them with an elemental environment like now for their tribe to live a normal life.

They must not be forced to do anything that would seriously harm the interests of the entire ethnic group.For example, they go to die in large numbers.

Faced with such a contract, Alka directly signed his name on it, and used the power of the Virgin and mixed his own magic power to press the fingerprint representing the contract on it.

After the fingerprint is pressed, it automatically transforms into the Alka Dreamland, representing the personal imprint of the King of Alka Dreamland.

The entire contract is fully valid.

In the witness of the elements, in the Virgin, in the witness of dreams.

As the contract was signed, he seemed to feel something, and there was a certain change in the overall power.

The brown card representing the earth emerged, and he could clearly feel that his control over this element had been strengthened.

Signing this contract automatically reaps the blessings of the earth element.

I didn't expect it to have such an effect.

"Now that the contract has been signed, let your tribe move in."

"Of course, we're going to do it now."

Alka then gave a copy of the authority to this space to the great elder in front of him.

Then they walked out.

The entire stone forest became busy.The great elder used some unknown power to spread through the earth, which seemed to represent the fluctuation of the signal.

The elemental life everywhere began to return, and Alka sat beside it and waited quietly. His current responsibility was to open the bigger door.

Alka found that the things that were important to them seemed to be only certain materials rich in earth elements and various totem statues.

As Alka opened the gate, they began to build a new stone forest on that barren land.

Faced with such a situation, of course Alka would not let it go and sat next to him and began to study.

As Alka studied next to him, he almost understood the social structure of semi-elemental creatures.

It is very simple to make a simple division based on growth age and strength.

The first is that the beginning of the elements that do not exist in their group can also become children like elemental cubs.

Then there are the normal adult semi-elemental creatures that grow up.

All those in the Stonehoof clan whose strength is at stage three or below are called semi-elemental creatures.

Then there are the warriors in stages 4 to 5.

Of course, warrior is just a title for this stage, which means they are powerful.

Elders at stage 6~7.

At this stage, in addition to strength, age and experience are far superior to other elements.

But Triangle Rock, known as the Great Elder, has actually passed this stage.

It should now be called the elemental leader.

Alka discovered that the names were actually no different from those of normal elemental creatures, just with some slight subdivisions.

After all, they co-reside in the elemental interface.

At this time, a semi-elemental creature that Alka had never seen walked over. Alka looked at him. The strength of the entire elemental creature was probably around the sixth stage.

Apparently an elemental elder.

After walking over, he looked at Alka.

"Alka, we still have a contract with the Frontline Alliance. According to the contract, we need to provide a certain amount of ore.

So now do we still need to continue to renew this contract? "

The reason why this matter is not decided by the great elder is because the other party in this matter is a human being like Alka and needs to consider Alka's opinion.

Alka thought for a moment and asked, "How many manpower and time will it take to fulfill the contract?"

"It takes a team of 10 people a month."

Hearing this, Alka nodded, that was not too much to ask for.

"Then continue to fulfill the contract, take turns, and return to this space at other times... No, it should be called Stone Forest now."

Since there are no external element restrictions, this area can be completely transformed into a stone forest.

A square area with a side length of one kilometer is completely enough for them to survive. You must know that the stone forest outside is not as big as this.

If it doesn't work, Alka can still expand around at any time. After all, the world is big enough.

Of course it can be considered small for the entire world, but for Alka, it can be considered a small continent.

After hearing Alka's decision, the elemental elder in front of him nodded, and then left to make arrangements.

Alka discovered that the construction of the stone forest was more complicated than he thought.These elemental and semi-elemental creatures used some completely unknown technique to connect the surrounding single earth elements through stone pillars and totems one after another.

Then he began to control them freely, so that they could be arranged in this stone forest in a certain proportion and order, naturally forming a natural magic circle.

Let the earth element in the entire area become active, yet...gentle.He could only think of one adjective for the time being.

Because active elements cannot appear gentle, but violent and destructive.

For example, if there are earthquakes and collapses in this world, they can be regarded as manifestations of active elements.

Then they began to revive the new generation in front of Alka.

The first is the elemental core that Alka has seen.

There is a huge and finely carved totem in the center of the entire stone forest.

Carved on this totem is a shape similar to a cow, but it should obviously be a fantasy creature similar to a cow, as well as a huge stone hoof mark.

Then they underwent some ritual transformation and wrapped the core in a stone ball.

The mud ball gradually solidified, became hard, and then turned into a stone egg with patterns on it.

The entire stone egg became extremely smooth in an instant, like pebbles in the river.

These smooth stone eggs were lifted up by the great elder.

Alka could feel the silent fluctuations in their communication, which seemed to be some kind of ritual prayer.

After all, this is the first life they have born in such a long time.

After passing the ceremony, the stone egg floated, and just like that, this ball of brown light floated next to the huge totem pole.

Then one after another flew up.

Various earth-rich materials are also used.

Alka sat there for two whole days, just watching the operations of these semi-elemental creatures.Just looking at him like this, I already felt that I had made great gains in controlling the earth element.

It can only be said that it is indeed a creature that can control the earth element by nature. There are many techniques that Alka may not be able to learn even if he sees them.

That's someone else's instinct.

In just two days, the entire Stonehoof tribe of about 300 people completely returned to their former strength.

In just two days, Alka discovered many semi-elements, and the cracks in his life were about to be repaired.

More or less, the strength has been improved to a certain extent.

In other words, their strength should have improved after such a long time.It's just that the harsh environment and lack outside have caused their strength to stagnate or even regress.

When they came to a suitable living environment, as the previous malnutrition was eliminated, natural strength also began to make up for the passage of time.

For example, the Great Elder.

Before coming here, he was indeed just an elder-level semi-elemental creature that had reached the seventh stage of perfection.

But after 800 years, he should have broken through and become a leader-level existence.

However, the environment was lacking until it was brought to the appropriate area. After the body was repaired, it broke through to a new stage in an instant.

After everything is done.

Alka appeared in the stone forest outside, which was already deserted.

Only a small team of semi-elemental creatures remained,
Alka, the team leader, has given him permission to enter the space.

Then Alka began to return, heading deeper into the ghost mountains.

When he returned, he did not use the flying magic mirror to carry him quickly, but instead used the brown earth card.

Start practicing the skills you learned earlier.

Standing on a sharp stone, the stone slid between the mountains, moving forward quickly like skiing in the snow-capped mountains.

This requires very finesse and some hidden tricks to do.

If Alka's ability to control the earth element hadn't been improved, he wouldn't have been able to do this, let alone maintain it.

Just like this, it slid all the way inside, and the speed began to slow down as it moved deeper into the mountains.

Because the abyssal atmosphere inside is getting stronger and deeper into the earth, the earth elements in the earth are restrained to a certain extent, unlike the outside.

In the periphery, especially in the area of ​​​​the stone forest, the aura of the abyss is very light, almost non-existent.It must be that the semi-elemental creatures of the Stonehoof clan have taken some protective measures.

This is why when Alka saw the rock corner before, he did not dive into the earth to avoid it.

Because in such a place that is severely invaded by the abyss, any element is restrained differently.

As a last resort, Alka began to use the magic mirror again to fly quickly during the second half of the journey.

This back and forth, plus the waiting in between, took Alka nearly half a month before he finally arrived.
