Chapter 86 Troll’s Warning

The reason why Matthew said this is that 99% of the income comes from the contribution of the blood-activating medicine.

The production of blood-activating potion can no longer be separated from the mountain peak.

The birth of the mountain peak ultimately comes from arcane power.

Thanks to the risk-taking efforts of the adventurers, 678 trolls, the most important raw material for making the blood-activating potion, have been captured.

The underground area where they are imprisoned alone is thousands of square meters.

Thanks to underground digging, for kobolds, it is as easy as breathing.

Otherwise, allowing these trolls to appear in people's sight will inevitably attract extra attention.

At present, in order to keep the water flowing, avoid excessive "consumption" of these trolls.

Matthew divided the trolls into four waves and volunteered to "donate blood" in turns. The mountain can produce 4 bottles of blood-activating potion every day.

After deducting the reserves left for adventurers and soldiers, it can contribute about 3000 gold coins in revenue.

About 170 trolls are processed every day, which has not yet reached the production limit of the mountain.

I hope adventurers will continue to work hard and try to catch more trolls.

After all, the development of the territory requires continued spending of money.

Matthew's future growth in improving the strength of arcanists will also require money, a lot of money.

There will be a long period of economic distress in the future!

However, thanks to Adam Smith's persistent propaganda in various places.

Many adventurers are looking for friends to form a team, hunt trolls together, and speak out with their own experiences.

In more than 10 days, it attracted hundreds of adventurers one after another.

The adventurers who came to Bay Village, except for the more than 10 greedy unlucky ones, basically all gained a lot as long as they survived.

Seven or eight gold coins is just the minimum.

There is also a lot to gain from twenty or thirty gold coins.

There are also many adventurers who have obtained 100 contribution points and customized magic equipment.

This news is confirmed.

Everyone's enthusiasm for catching the trolls became even higher.

There are more and more adventurers who have received news from the passing caravans and are rushing to Bay Village to join this carnival feast that will last for who knows how long.

The trolls in the dark forest ushered in an unprecedented cleanup.

Over dozens of troll camps were destroyed and hundreds of trolls were captured.

Even the kobolds and jackals in the dark forest were also in bad luck.

The reason for the kobold's misfortune.

As soon as they are discovered, they will be attacked by the kobolds led by Gold Fang and Silver Fang. The disobedient ones will be killed, and the obedient ones will be collected.

The reason for the gnoll's misfortune.

They are trolls who occasionally appear in their camps and cooperate with them.

The adventurer's madness would have lasted longer...

In the dark forest.

outside the valley.

From the towering dense forest in the distance, there was a faint roar.

The sound echoed in the valley, making people feel scared and panicked.

On both sides of the valley, there are exposed white rock walls and red ground.

A small river winds out, twists and turns in the dense forest, and plunges into the Silver Moon River outside the dark forest.

On the river bank at the entrance of the valley, hundreds of soldiers were lined up neatly, but the atmosphere was a little solemn.

The strong smell of blood penetrated Matthew's nostrils, and the dark eyes reflected a scene that made the soldiers extremely angry.

More than 20 human heads were tied to bamboo poles and arranged at the mouth of the valley.

The bloody face was full of panic and pain.

"Is that level 8 warrior Karkat, with only one head left?"

"Next to me is level 7 archer Zakir, who was very arrogant before..." "Isn't that level 6 rogue Tepka? He didn't even run away..."

"There are 26 of them in total. They died so tragically..."

"I heard it was a troll who did it?"

"Seems to be……"

"..."

The adventurers who followed behind them all changed their expressions when they recognized the miserable deaths of these victims.

In the deep ditches on both sides of the valley, a pile of bloody bones covered with tooth marks illustrates their horrific experience.

A trembling adventurer told Matthew the tragic experience of these guys:
"Trolls...hundreds of terrible trolls...there are too many of them..."

"They eat people...my teammates..."

"I saw them being surrounded and unable to escape at all..."

"..."

In his intermittent telling, Matthew understood the whole story.

As the number of adventurers increases, everyone's harvest becomes more and more abundant.

The small troll camp near the outskirts of the Dark Forest near Bay Village has basically been cleared away.

Either search east and west, or explore deeper into the dark forest.

Even though there were obvious warnings on the map, a team of adventurers led by three mid-level professionals plunged into the Troll Valley.

The result is obvious. The team of adventurers who captured the trolls encountered a large-scale troll hunting team.

It's over!

It was not difficult for Matthew to guess that these trolls had cruel cannibalistic habits, were numerous in number, and were extremely powerful in combat.

Many adventurers who came to investigate the situation could not help but feel their hearts beat when they saw such a terrifying aspect.

Although they are adventurers who risk their lives for money, it does not mean that they will insist on seeking death.

If the enemy is too scary and the mission is too dangerous, they will choose to give up.

These days, the easy harvest of catching trolls has made them almost forget about the horror and danger of this creature.

"That's not right. Aren't there three, four, or five or six trolls scattered together?"

"Are you kidding? With their strength, will they fall into the hands of a few trolls?"

"Didn't you hear? There are at least hundreds of trolls!"

"Do the trolls in the dark forest live together?"

"Is that impossible?"

"..."

Matthew could naturally see the panic of these adventurers, but he was not too anxious.

The trolls in the dark forest not only gather together, they even have their own city and even a kingdom!

The vast dark forest is thousands of kilometers in diameter and is dotted with many rivers and valleys.

The Moss Rotten Troll, one of the five major troll clans, lives in this area.

This is only the outskirts of the dark forest, and it is still nearly a hundred kilometers away from the hunting range of the moss-rot troll.

It is not impossible for a greedy adventurer to encounter a concentrated troll tribe.

However, Matthew is very clear about the habits of the trolls, although they kill cruelly and even eat people.

But they did not dare to leave the dark forest in large numbers.

for thousands of years.

The process of continuous expansion of the Netheril Empire is not just about reclaiming wasteland and building cities.

Various large-scale wars and means of destruction are commonplace!
These trolls had no intention of rushing out of the valley for the time being, leaving Matthew time to prepare.

If there were still adventurers who refused to listen and wanted to seek death, he would not be able to persuade them.

"Send someone to collect the bones. Others should be alert and be careful of the troll's sneak attack."

Matthew said to Angela beside him, raised his head and looked at the dense forest not far away, vaguely feeling that there was sight coming from there.
