Chapter 509: Chapter 331: Legendary Visit (4K)_2

In the past period, the Exploratory Team set out toward the distant lands once again.

After crushing formidable enemies and severing the claws of the Fang of the Jackal Wolf that controlled the outside world, there were virtually no natural enemies left for the Tianyuan Exploration Team within hundreds of miles.

The elite of the Exploratory Team quickly discovered one wilderness treasure after another.

"Snake Blood Fruit (Rare)," "Dragon Blood Fruit (Excellence);"

"Star Steel (Excellence): Material, generally used for forging high-order equipment;"

"Sage Fruit (Excellence): Treasure, consuming it enters one into a state of no desires or needs, the state of a sage, for one month;"

Since this region was under the control of the Fang of the Jackal Wolf, there were not many wilderness treasures.

However, the Root of Corruption and some special treasure sites were discovered in great numbers by the Exploratory Team.

For the former, heroes rushed to purify them quickly and received heavenly gifts that descended. These gifts were mainly ordinary and rare rank treasures, but among them were some not very valuable yet capable of enriching the blueprints for territorial development.

Like luxury bathrooms, high-end mansions, gardens, and so on.

But among these 'ordinary treasures' emerged a rare and superior item—The Hero's Proof.

Purifying the Root of Corruption indeed had a chance of yielding The Hero's Proof—in fact, most of The Hero's Proofs also came from heavenly gifts. However, the drop rate of these purifying gifts was very low.

And the Exploratory Team of Mu Yuan's family had already purified quite a significant number of Roots of Corruption.

The latter were special treasure sites that took root across the wilderness and couldn't be relocated. The Exploratory Team could only carry out protective harvesting.

For example,

The Xi Liu squad discovered a treasure tree that grew the special treasure 'God Shine Crystal Edge.'

There were a total of six treasure trees, naturally born from Nature itself.

Mu Yuan called upon Isloa to try transplanting them, but did not dare to proceed. The roots of the treasure trees penetrated deep into the earth's veins, akin to veins of ore, and they currently lacked the technology for transplantation.

They could only harvest the 'fruits' of the treasure trees, one by one.

The quantity was not large, and it was apparent the Jackal Men had harvested them as well.

This was a treasure site that could still be preserved.

As the Exploratory Team advanced, they also found numerous treasure sites that had been violently exploited and destroyed, which made Mu Yuan's heart bleed.

"Even these surviving treasure sites cannot be occupied or defended by my territory, Tianyuan, and there's always the possibility that they will be destroyed by monsters."

After all, Tianyuan Territory was still in a weak position and was just managing to survive.

Not to mention these wilderness treasure sites, even the mines located within the ruins of several large tribes were difficult for Tianyuan Territory to seize.

To occupy them, troops had to be deployed to defend them.

However, Tianyuan had only Duo Lai at the Legendary Realm. How could it have the capacity to defend places beyond Wolf Head Mountain?

The most important point was that the Fang of the Jackal Wolf didn't care about the loss of lower monsters, but Mu Yuan cared about his own soldiers.

On the eighth day after the battle at Wolf Head Mountain ended,

Mu Yuan discovered that monsters began to rebuild in the north, where three large tribes they had subjugated after the battle were located.

They rebuilt into new tribes.

The Jackal Man Tribe, the Half-beast Tribe, and the Crypt Tribe.

These three tribes were nowhere near their previous scales and hadn't built Blood Ponds or Flesh Towers, yet they still possessed formidable power. They were strong enough to repel surrounding lurking monster groups and to mine for resources to supply to the Fang of the Jackal Wolf.

Dead Bone conducted a tentative raid, but with little effect.

The enemy didn't care about death or loss.

Even if a Legendary figure attacked, they would still continue mining afterward.

But when Dead Bone went to raid, he vaguely sensed a Legendary Realm being watching in the shadows. Besides, Dead Bone, Lu Liu, and other generals needed to train themselves to step into the Legendary Realm soon. They didn't have that much time to waste in a standoff with monsters.

Once the three tribes were rebuilt, the Exploratory Team began encountering more strong enemies and ambushes in the wilderness.

The exploration started to be hindered.

This was also within Mu Yuan's expectations.

He was only seizing the time to plunder a batch of wilderness resources.

Afterward, the main task of Tianyuan Territory's elite squads shifted from exploration to guerrilla warfare. They encountered elite monsters controlled by the Fang of the Jackal Wolf in the mountains and dense forests, constantly clashing.

In such encounters, Tianyuan naturally suffered more defeats than victories.

However,

Mu Yuan still felt increasing pressure.

It was the same issue: the Fang of the Jackal Wolf didn't care about losses, but they couldn't afford them.

To Tianyuan Territory, even ten battles with 9.9 victories were still considered a loss in his view.

Sometimes when the Exploratory Team encountered an ambush, elites would suffer losses, with no time for rescue or revival.

He also had to be wary of surprise attacks by the Legendary figures of the Fang of the Jackal Wolf—even though, the players at the Legendary Realm of the Fang of the Jackal Wolf didn't fall under the category of 'indifference to loss.' They too were afraid of being counter-ambushed by Duo Lai. However, such a risk was something Tianyuan couldn't afford.

"Maybe, the Jackal Men are also waiting for Duo Lai to counter-ambush so they can strike directly at Wolf Head Mountain when Duo Lai leaves. After all, monsters' scouts can be gradually found lurking around Wolf Head Mountain."

Under these circumstances, Tianyuan Territory was facing considerable pressure.

He needed time.

And allies.

The reach of the Tai Xuan Alliance was too limited; he still couldn't pinpoint his own location.

Around him, the Featherman Kingdom was isolating itself, lacking courage.

Just then, after waiting for more than ten days, representatives from the Natural Garden and Giant Stone Ridge finally arrived.

...

Outside Wolf Head Mountain,

A caravan slowly emerged from the mist. In the middle of the caravan was a delicate and elegant carriage. The side of the carriage bore the insignia of the Natural Garden and was pulled by four pure white Pegasus with wings on their backs.
