Lord of the Earth

Chapter 156 Territory Change, Miss Bao
In the lord's mansion.

"Jiangshan battle map" suspended in the air!
Holding two handfuls of crystal-clear spirit stones in Xia Tian's hands, he sat down on the Linglong jade, and the surging spiritual power rushed towards his body like a stream.

In the "dantian" of his abdomen, a lifelike "spiritual dragon" with its head completely composed of spiritual power shook its head and swayed its tail.

Every time he inhales, a large amount of spiritual power is drawn from his body and penetrated into his mouth and nose.

When exhaling, the transformed spiritual power is violently erupted like "dragon's breath", like clouds and mist quickly scattered into Xia Tian's limbs, bones, flesh and blood cells.

Let every inch of Xia Tian's skin become more crystal clear like jade, his eyes become more clear and piercing, his face is like a jade carving, and even the hair that has become long hair exudes a kind of radiance.

"Well, practicing the "Human Emperor Yulong Jing" actually has the effect of 'beauty'? No wonder the legendary practitioners are all handsome and beautiful."

After Xia Tian stopped practicing, he opened his eyes.

The battle map of Jiangshan was put away, and it turned into a form scroll and sank between the eyebrows.

"The progress of the sixth 'tempering body' is almost two-thirds completed. However, compared to the previous two or three days to break through, this progress is much slower. I want to improve my strength after transforming to the fifth level. , the difficulty is really several times greater...not only requires aptitude, but also involves personal 'perseverance', which is likely to become a watershed between ordinary people and monks..."

Today, almost seven days have passed since "unlocking the world and descending the secret realm".

These days, most of Xia Tian spent most of his time practicing in the lord's mansion and "Jiange", in order to improve his cultivation and swordsmanship!

However, the development of the territory has not been affected.

Even, because of the joining of Zhuge Liang, a talented human being who is accomplished in government affairs, military affairs, and culture, the development speed of the territory these days is even faster than in the past!
For example, after Xia Tian finished his work, he walked out of the lord's mansion, and saw people coming and going at the entrance of the "Star Hall" surrounded by stars, and the face of a resident of the territory was either looking forward or joyful.

"It turned out to be 'Heavenly Chef Star'! Yes, although it only triggered the lowest level of brightness, it still has great potential. Go report to Commander Ding and Deputy Commander Wu, and practice your cooking skills in the future..."

"Earth Thief Star? Good guy, it's still a high-level brightness. What did you do before... Forget it, go to the patrol team and report to Commander Wu..."

"Ji Du Xing? You are suitable to go..."

A person who is proficient in "astrology" is carrying out "constellation" for these people, so as to determine their talents, characteristics, and potential!
"Star Palace, a jade-white building, is of great help to the territory..."

Xia Tian nodded.

You must know that in the past, to judge the qualifications of the residents of the territory, he had to rely on him as the lord to open the "eye of insight" to check.

However, the "eye of insight" will not only consume mental strength of the lord himself, but also consume luck points if he wants to explore detailed information. It is certainly impossible to check and verify one by one with thousands of people in the territory.

Now that we have the "Star Palace", it will save us a lot of trouble, and this is not the biggest use of this "Yubai" strange building.

"Today, I cut a total of ten shares of wood and accumulated ten merit points... After I have collected one hundred points, I will be able to exchange them for the blue "Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Cover" exercises!"

"I don't like hard skills, and I want a powerful martial skill that kills people. The set of silver-quality "Thirteen Swords of Death" is not bad."

"If you want me to say, the most worth redeeming is the "Little Formless Kungfu", which can imitate the other party's spiritual power characteristics. It is a golden skill that requires a full [-] merit points to exchange..."

"[-] points of merit, which needs to be accumulated until the year of the monkey? Let me tell you, it is better to spend [-] points of merit for the 'baptism of the stars', maybe you can comprehend a set of secret techniques!"

According to his request, in the "management system" formulated by Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu and others for the territory, the "merit point" system was expanded from the original small-scale personnel to the residents of the entire territory.

Now the territory personnel, in addition to receiving a certain amount of basic food for free every day, the rest of the additional training resources, etc., need to rely on "merit points" to exchange.

When the monetary function of resources such as gold and silver disappears, and Lingshi is too expensive to be directly used as "currency", this system is undoubtedly a better way to stimulate the enthusiasm of the residents of the territory!

However, there will undoubtedly be various problems in fully launching the "merit point" system.

For example, if you join forces to kill a powerful enemy on a chaotic battlefield, participants will inevitably compete for credit and try to gain more credit.

At this time, how to determine the size of each person's merit and determine the distribution of merit points?
When going to collect resources outside the territory, some people steal other people's resources, and then make false declarations to become their own merit points.

How should we guard against and distinguish this kind of thing?
It would be too wasteful and unrealistic to send Wu Song and Zhan Zhao patrol guards to record and monitor such problems.

But relying on the "fate-following" function of the "star palace" to present the experiences of the residents in the territory in the form of pictures, these things will naturally have a solution!

The "tiger prison" space in the territory of the wrongdoer is very wide!

And the changes that Zhuge Liang brought to the territory were far more than that.

"The ones in front give way, don't block the gate of the city..."

For example, at the entrance of the Qingshi city wall, several cows and horses are lining up to pull tens of thousands of catties of wood, stone, and refined minerals, metals and other resources into the territory.

These cows and horses look similar to real cows and horses in appearance, but they are much larger in size. If you observe carefully, you can find that the moving parts of the cows and horses are covered with exquisite spirit patterns. When moving, it exudes a kind of spiritual power fluctuation.

It is the third "Wooden Niu Liuma (Blue)" among the three spiritual weapon blueprints that Zhuge Liang took out, which can hold tens of thousands of catties of objects, climb mountains and mountains, and even cross rivers like walking on flat ground!
Relying on these "wooden cows and horses", the territory can finally carry out resource mining and transportation in a longer range.

Even these days, due to the reduction of the working population due to the recruitment of a thousand soldiers, it is still possible to maintain the various resources needed for the construction of the territory in the process of development.

Speaking of the army, in addition to increasing the quota by a thousand, the number of Yunjiao Guards, trapped camps, and patrols have all increased significantly.

The most worth mentioning is that the night before yesterday, more than 100 eggs laid by the black and white pheasants finally hatched. Relying on the "blood stones" condensed with the flesh and blood of the kobolds and dark elves that were killed at the beginning, each one has grown up. To the fifth order of the mortal level or above.

It also made the number of black and white pheasants in the territory officially reach 150.

In a sense, the reproductive ability of this kind of heterogeneous species bred in the world is simply astonishing. In just one month, the number has increased tenfold!
If it weren't for the resources needed to feed this kind of creature, it would be extremely astonishing, especially if it only ate meat, and it would even consider mass breeding in summer to form a "frog pheasant army" in a simple sense.

In addition, Xia Tian specially selected [-] people with archery talent and potential, and gave them to Hua Rong for training to prepare for the formation of archers and "light cavalry" teams in the future.

"Pearl rice is ripe!"

And after walking out of the bluestone city wall of the territory.

Xia Tian saw a group of residents who were sweating profusely under the scorching sun, but were harvesting pearl rice with happy faces.

People take food as their heaven!
It has to be said that the farming skills of the Zhonghua family are also ancestral.

In terms of the number of skills mastered in the territory, there is no doubt that it belongs to "farming".

Because there has been no stable environment before, many people can only be forced to engage in some auxiliary work.

Now after cutting down the surrounding trees, a large number of bone fields have been reclaimed around the "Yin Gathering Land", and people are arranged to plant pearl rice.

This grain of rice is the size of a pearl, and after steaming, it swells like a jujube. Only about a hundred pieces of pearl rice are enough to feed an ordinary person!

Through the "Rijinping" breeding before, a large number of seeds were cultivated and planted in summer, and now about [-] catties of pearl rice have matured.

"The previous [-] catties of green-scaled dragon meat, and now the [-] catties of pearl rice... Now, we can finally initially solve the problem of food and clothing for the people in the territory."

Even, not only to solve the food and clothing of their own territory.

Because the yield of pearl rice is high enough, and like the black and white pheasants, it belongs to the "exotic species" with a very short growth cycle, Xia Tian feels that if he can't finish it, he can consider selling it to the surrounding territories.

Yes, surrounding territories.

As Xia Tian expected, in the past few days, humans have successively appeared in the territory and were discovered by the "Jade Clawed Eagle".

These human beings are almost all from the Territorial Faction of the Human Race within a certain range around them. The teams that come to explore the "vision" are almost all at the level of metamorphosis, and there are even people who have undergone three or four transformations. .

However, because it is just an exploration team.

Therefore, these people will not carry many resources and materials on their bodies.

In order to truly achieve cooperation between the territories of the human race, it is necessary to wait until these people return to the territory, and then send large troops to bring various resources.

"Speaking of which, it has already been four or five days... After those white soldiers went back, the entire territory was discussing and raising resources. Even if there is a delay of a few days, the time should be about the same?"

Xia Tian is still looking forward to establishing a trading channel with Qin Liangyu's territory.

After all, the resources in the opponent's territory are very high-quality, especially to create the spiritual weapon "Kongming Lantern" that requires suitable spiritual bamboo materials.

"Cry... blah..."

Suddenly, the jade-clawed eagle in the sky croaked.

The cry was a little hasty.

Moreover, two different styles of calls were made!

"Well, what's going on?"

Xia Tian raised his head.

Just because these two different calls represent two messages.

First, humans appeared near the territory, and second, mountain ghosts also appeared near the territory!

"It's the direction Wang Wu and the others came from before..."

Xia Tian suddenly looked up, "golden red flames" surged in his eyes, and he looked in the direction indicated by the jade clawed eagle.

……

"Haha, haha..."

In the jungle, the huge, simple and honest colorful panda walked slowly, chewing a green bamboo shoot in its mouth!

"Miss Bao, we can complete the transaction by ourselves. You really don't need to come by yourself. There are too many dangers and uncertainties in leaving the territory..."

Wang Wu held a green bamboo hook and sickle spear in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.

A team of fifty soldiers, each equipped with mortal-level green bamboo spears and rattan armor, combined with the "army formation" of white-bared soldiers, is enough for even encountering creatures of the fifth level of mortal form. war!
And the reason for such a big battle.

It is also because of the team going to Xia Tian's territory this time, except for the soldiers who send resources to trade.

There is also a girl who is riding on the back of a colorful panda at this time, wearing a light yellow robe and a gold hairpin in the shape of a phoenix on her hair. She looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, but has a very calm temperament!
In the girl's hand was a "book" in the modern style of the earth that was opened from a treasure chest, and on the bridge of her nose that was carved like suet and white jade, there was even a pair of crystal glasses...

There is a unique feeling of the combination of classic and modern, intertwined and harmonious.

"Lieutenant Wang, with your protection, I believe nothing will go wrong..."

There was a slight smile on the girl's round oval face, her face was beautiful, obviously without any makeup, but her eyebrows and eyes were like apricots.

The lips are not dotted but contain Dan, the eyebrows are not painted but green!
"Besides, I have to come to this human territory to take a look. If it is what you said, the development strategy of our territory will have to be adjusted..."

The girl put down the modern-style book in her hand, stretched out her right hand wearing a gold bracelet, as white as frost, and rubbed her temple slightly.

"Our territory is only more than 100 miles away from the 'Secret Realm of the Human Race'. Originally, I thought of taking advantage of this opportunity to use the 'Fang City' to build a trading place for many arriving territories... But I didn't expect that there was another territory It is closer to the 'secret land' than us. Moreover, it is still the territory with golden honey..."

The girl spoke softly.

"Ouch..."

Hearing the "golden bee", the colorful giant panda with the silver name let out a roar, and the eyes covered with dark circles were full of anticipation.

"Hua Xiong, have you really been bought by someone's 'sugar-coated cannonball'?"

"Wang Wu said that when you left last time, you grabbed the leg of that girl named 'A Zhu', and you were almost about to live in her territory..."

On the back of the colorful panda, a beautiful girl with snow-white skin joked.

"Wow... hoo!"

The colorful panda made a naive sound.

However, suddenly its naive expression changed suddenly, the hairs all over its body stood up, its aura suddenly became fierce, and it grinned its teeth and looked at a certain direction!
"The leader's judgment is indeed correct. He knows that there will be humans sending supplies to reinforce that human territory...Let the two of us wait here..."

In the shadows in the jungle, a cold and bloodthirsty voice sounded.

Immediately, two creatures with a figure of two meters, slender arms with extremely strong claws, and ugly faces like ghosts walked out.

Impressively, there are two mountain ghosts who have metamorphosed to the fifth level!
"No, it's a high-level foreign race... Hurry up and protect Miss Bao!"

The faces of Wang Wu and the others changed suddenly, and they hurriedly held their guns one by one, forming an army formation centered on the seven-colored panda.
