Survival for all: I, the creator of the halo.

Chapter 145 Soul Contract—Weakness

Liu Duo listened very carefully and took everything he said to heart.

Ning Ze did not stay any longer, and instead came to the location of the sapling. Different from what he expected, in the dream, it had grown into a tree several meters high, but in reality, it was just above the knee height, and it still looked like a tree. A small sapling.

"Miaomiao?" He tried shouting.

"Um~Dad, you're here!" Miaomiao seemed to have just woken up, her speech was still a little slurred.

Ning Ze paused, then asked: "Miaomiao, didn't you grow a lot last night? Why are you still so small today?"

It was too small, so small that if you were not careful when walking, you might step on it. If he hadn't specially fenced off this piece of land, this might have happened.

"Yes, Miaomiao seemed to be taller than her father when she fell asleep, but when she woke up, she saw that her father was so tall." Miaomiao also said in a confused tone.

Can a small tree still sleep?
Ning Ze had never thought that Miaomiao could sleep, so it was no wonder that its voice sounded like it had just woken up.

But according to what Miaomiao said, Miaomiao can not only sleep, but also dream, that is, Miaomiao in the dream can enter his dream.

It's just that there are some differences between Miaomiao in the dream and reality, but after all, after swallowing so many black air masses, there should be some changes.

After thinking for a moment, he took out the soul contract from his backpack and asked, "Miaomiao, do you know about this kind of thing?"

Miaomiao was silent for a moment, and then said: "I don't know, but Miaomiao felt that it was very weak."

Can a scroll be described as weak?This description was a bit abstract, but it also allowed Ning Ze to roughly guess what this sentence meant.

"Does Miaomiao know how to make it less weak?" He followed Miaomiao's words.

"Hmm~" Miaomiao thought for a while, and then saw one of its branches coming in the direction of the soul scroll.

Because the branch was too short to reach the soul scroll, Ning Ze had no choice but to bring it closer so that Miaomiao could touch it.

The moment the branch came into contact with the soul scroll, he saw a black aura begin to pour into the soul scroll.

After several seconds, the black aura gradually dissipated, and instead, Ning Ze discovered that he had 95 more soul scroll quotas.

hiss~
Rounding up, that's one hundred soul contract quotas, which is almost catching up with the number of quotas given to him by the weird tree in the end. Isn't this great?

To ask for a spot in the soul contract from the weird big tree, you either need to exchange a large amount of edible meat, or you have to complete some task for the other party.

Compared to Miaomiao, who can convert inedible meat into edible meat and can easily get nearly a hundred soul contract quotas, the difference between heaven and earth is simply huge.

What a good Miaomiao he is, this father is not in vain!
However, before he could say anything to praise Miaomiao, he saw that Miaomiao, which had lush branches and leaves before, suddenly slumped down and looked like a deflated ball. There are already faint signs of falling off.

"Dad, Miaomiao is so sleepy!" Miaomiao said weakly.

Ning Ze couldn't help but worry: "Miaomiao, are you okay?"

"Dad, don't worry about Miaomiao, Miaomiao will be fine after a little sleep."

Before he finished speaking, Miao Miao's voice suddenly stopped. No matter how much he shouted, it was of no avail.

He observed Miaomiao's condition, and there seemed to be nothing wrong except that she looked limp as if she was short of water.

After continuing to observe for more than ten minutes, he saw that the withered branches and leaves of the seedlings began to branch out again, and he relaxed.

"It seems that what Miaomiao just injected into the soul contract is the black air mass in the dream. However, it seems that not all the black air mass can be fed back to Miaomiao's body. Once it is consumed, it will enter a weak state and needs to be replenished in the dream. .”

It seems that Miaomiao cannot be allowed to add so many places to the soul contract in one go in the future. Although its branches are gradually recovering, the luster on the leaves is obviously much darker than before. It will probably take a long time to fully restore the luster. time.

If this happens frequently, I'm afraid the leaves on Miaomiao's body will really fall off. No one knows what will happen if the leaves fall off.

"Everything is on the safe side. Anyway, with these 95 soul contract quotas, we should be able to use them for a while."

Youdao means you have enough confidence in your pocket. With the addition of these 95 places, Ningze can walk with a much more steady pace.

"It's getting late, it's time to go out."

A large number of territorial residents have begun to go out to work voluntarily. Of course, this is also the order Ning Ze gave to Xue Siyu before. For the daily resource extraction of the territory, he only needs to make a rough allocation, and the rest of the matters are left to the current ones. The leisurely Xue Siyu can just make detailed arrangements.

Soon, he organized the militia team and obtained the shields and standard weapons for the militia team from Zhao Leici. He also did not forget the horse gear and other equipment.

Liehuo, who had been tamed yesterday, was currently staying in the fence and leading the group to eat food leisurely. The moment it saw Ningze coming over, it let out a long neighing sound.

However, due to the weather conditions, Ning Ze did not intend to go out with Lie Huo this time. Moreover, he had not had much running-in with Lie Huo, and he would need to continue to run in for a while before he could ride out for a ride.

But at this moment, Xue Siyu came to him and told him some bad news.

Surprisingly, due to the continuous heavy rains, the rapeseed field has been flooded with water. However, the rapeseed field has entered the end of harvest, and even if it is flooded, there will not be much damage.

But from this news, Ning Ze realized that this heavy rain might bring about some environmental changes.

Sure enough, when he led the militia team out of the territory and teleported to an anchor point midway, a vast river came into view.

They had seen a lot of things like rivers when they were in Blue Star, but this was their first time in this world.

"When did such a big river appear here?"

"Tsk, tsk, the width of the river is about 40 to [-] meters, and the heavy rain has not stopped yet. If this trend continues, the width of the river may be doubled."

In fact, they had arrived at this anchor point yesterday evening. Maybe it was because the sky was darker, or they didn't pay attention to this situation, so they couldn't see this newly formed river.With the emergence of rivers, freshwater river creatures will definitely breed in the rivers, and the surrounding ecological environment will also be changed. The number of animal populations along the rivers will gradually increase.

Of course, there are also disadvantages. For example, in this era without roads, players will be more likely to travel long distances by water. Ningze’s territory is not far from the river, which means that there will be more in the future. It is a good thing for man to discover where his territory is, but it is also a not so good thing.

"You think, for such a big river, what if we dug a canal to divert it into the territory?" a citizen suddenly said.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. Ning Ze couldn't help but feel moved after hearing these words.

The first thing he thought of was a moat. In this dangerous world, having a moat outside the territory would be enough to avoid many situations.

Secondly, irrigation of farmland requires a large amount of water. With the development of the territory, the area of ​​farmland is destined to become larger and larger.

Using groundwater to irrigate farmland is always a helpless move and too extravagant. If you keep using groundwater, the groundwater will show signs of depletion before long. Therefore, digging a canal leading to the territory will not only make it more convenient to collect water, but also There is also inexhaustible water.

Finally, there is the use of water potential. Water conservancy tools such as waterwheels, which are relatively easy to make, can greatly reduce the burden of manpower in certain areas.

"So, the emergence of a river will do more good than harm to the territory, but I don't know if the river will dry up again after the rain stops?"

The last behavior of the weird tree had always puzzled him, but until the moment he saw the river, he seemed to understand the purpose of the weird tree.

"Everyone has it, head to the destination immediately."

Ning Ze didn't waste too much time on this river. After all, this kind of thing couldn't move. He would come back later and plan it carefully.

The destination of their trip was also the ancient ruins they went to yesterday evening. After several consecutive anchor point teleportations, the group finally arrived at the final destination.

Because yesterday's anchor point had most likely been discovered, he specifically asked Li Hui to lay the anchor point elsewhere yesterday evening.

When I arrived at the previous anchor point, I found that the environment around the anchor point had traces of human presence. There were also some traces of metal friction on the anchor point. Obviously someone wanted to destroy the anchor point, but fortunately the anchor point was sufficient. Hard and no damage.

After recovering the anchor point, Ning Ze summoned Hu Er.

"See my lord!" Hu Er said respectfully.

Ning Ze didn't waste any time and asked straight to the point: "Yesterday you said you knew the entrance to the core here. Now it's time for you to lead the way."

When they first arrived at this anchor point yesterday, Hu Er informed him of the news.

And he also learned from his mouth that there is usually more than one entrance to the core. There are entrances in the ancient ruins at the mark, but there are also entrances outside the ancient ruins.

Hu Er said: "Master, just come with me."

Under the leadership of Hu Er, Ning Ze and his party followed him silently. Seeing that the other party seemed to be familiar with the road, he couldn't help but said: "You seem to be familiar with this area?"

Hu Er chuckled and said: "My lord, you don't know, this was originally where our black team was guarding, but later it was transferred out because of my father."

"I didn't expect that there is such a connection." Ning Ze nodded: "Speaking of which, do you know who will be guarding here after you?"

Hu Er pondered for a moment, seeming to be recalling the past: "If I remember correctly, the three teams guarding this place after our team should be the White Camel Army, the Heavenly Serpent Army and the Taurus Army. As for whether there were other teams afterwards? Replacement, I don’t know about this.”

To his surprise, there were actually three teams guarding this core, and they were from three different armies. If Hu Er remembered correctly, and there had been no replacement of the guarding team since then.

So it means that after he conquers the guard team here, he can almost directly gather four of the nine armies. I just don't know if these other army teams are easy to conquer?

Hu Er seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and immediately said: "Please rest assured, my lord, now that my lord is the commander of the fifth battalion of the Kingdom's Central Army, as my lord, it will be easy to conquer them."

"But..." He is not the commander of the fifth battalion of the Kingdom's Central Army!

But soon, he understood the meaning of Hu Er's words. Now that he had the epaulette, not to mention the help of Hu Er and others, he could completely pretend to be the battalion commander. Then he would only need to cook the raw rice.

I have to say, this Tiger Er is really quite sinister.

At this moment, Hu Er finally arrived at the target location.

"The location should be right here. Even if there is a deviation, it won't be too big. You just need to dig deeper." Hu Er pointed to the land under his feet.

Ning Ze was unambiguous and directly asked many militiamen to start digging around this location. Fortunately, there was still a certain slope here, so the digging could be carried out in the same way as before.

In order to make the efficiency faster, he also contributed his only shovel, which greatly improved the efficiency of digging.

"Bang~"

Following the sound of metal hitting a hard object, a citizen suddenly shouted: "Lord, we seem to have found the entrance."

Ning Ze also quickly ran over to check, and sure enough, after some cleaning, two closed stone slabs were revealed.

"It's strange. I thought the entrance should have been buried by the soil because of the age. Why is there such a stone slab blocking the entrance and exit?" Hu Er suddenly asked in confusion from the side.

"The entrance to the basement we entered yesterday was also closed by such a stone slab." Ning Ze said.

Hu Er was even more confused. He walked in and took a look at the two stone slabs.

"It seems to be just an ordinary stone slab, but there are still some traces of spellcasting on it, but it is no longer effective."

Suddenly, Hu Er said: "Speaking of which, I remembered one thing. Logically speaking, after our team was killed, the kingdom should have sent other personnel to continue to guard the core. But the actual situation is that after we were killed, there was no I saw anyone entering the core basement."
