Chapter 631: Chapter 377: Tianyuan's Historical Achievements (4K)
Three days after the defense battle of Tianyuan City.
Mu Yuan had already recalled the majority of his forces, leaving only Dead Bone to lead hundreds of elite Undead in continued strikes, sweeping through the remnants of the Monster Tribe.
By this time, the gains from clearing out and sweeping were already quite limited, but exterminating monsters was an obligation; if a few more high-order monsters were slain now, future exploration and expansion teams would face fewer dangers. Read first at m-v le-mpyr
Shen Linglong was continually on the attack, her spirits so high she seemed as though she could go three days and nights without sleep.
The reason was that the day before yesterday, during an expedition against a large Monster Tribe, she had encountered a newly risen Legendary Monster. It was likely that the tribe's leader had fortuitously broken through in secret.
And then she had slain it.
Her Legendary kill count +1, another step closer to a hundred.
For several days, Shen Linglong hunted and pursued Legendary Monsters, sometimes barely resting in Tianyuan City before setting out again. Her diligence could rival that of Tianyuan Territory's 007's most exemplary employee.
If she was willing to work for free, Mu Yuan was of course happy to let Chef Paotu prepare more exquisite dishes to entertain her.
"While we have defeated the Monster Overlords, the area where we can actively operate is mainly concentrated in the territories of Fang of the Jackal Wolf and Blood Snake Encase, the two overlords."
"To the west, the Great Blood Tree Forest remains dangerous. The Elves and Giants of Legendary Realm do not recommend entering. North of Fang of the Jackal Wolf, it is said that there are other Monster Overlords who worship the Fallen God and do not share the same beliefs in eternal life of flesh and blood as Fang of the Jackal Wolf and Blood Snake Encase."
Speaking of Fallen Gods, Mu Yuan thought of the Orochi Servant with whom he had had several encounters.
It had been a long time since he last saw the Orochi Servant, and now the thought of it brought a tinge of nostalgia.
The fully manifested form of a servant like the Orochi Servant was merely a super Four-order entity. Nowadays, in Tianyuan Territory, there were not less than eight or ten people capable of single-handedly defeating such a perfect manifestation.
However,
the true forms of servants like the Orochi were extremely terrifying, at least belonging to the second realm of legend, the 'Soul Realm'. Only such beings were capable of crossing territories to manifest.
Fang of the Jackal Wolf had previously clashed with the northern Fallen God Force, and now, it seemed that minions of the Fallen God Force were moving southward.
Mu Yuan sat at the Lord's office desk, sipping from a glass brewed with calming leaves and heart-nurturing grass, his brow furrowed in contemplation.
"Now is not the time to continue fighting."
He had repelled Fang of the Jackal Wolf and Blood Snake Encase, obtaining a bounty of resources and a plethora of undeveloped treasures. It was key to convert these resources into financial strength, certainly not worth risking a battle with another Monster Overlord.
Besides, south of Tianyuan Territory, past Blood Snake Encase, lies the very southern tip of the domain and the passage to Twilight Plains.
To the north, past Fang of the Jackal Wolf, is a certain Fallen God Force, but it is also very far away.
Even if an elite corps marched at full speed, it would take two to two and a half days to cross through the territory of Fang of the Jackal Wolf.
They already had a sufficiently strategic depth.
The resources in this nearby area were also enough for their exploitation.
Rather, Tianyuan Territory didn't have enough manpower or military strength to exploit each and every mine spot. The manpower of Tianyuan City, Natural Garden, and Giant Stone Ridge were far from enough to utilize all the treasure lands of Fang and Blood Snake.
He could choose to develop treasure lands that were of high value and closer to his own territory.
"Here lies a damaged, medium-sized Soul Sand Mine. Although wrecked by the Monster power's violent exploitation, its reserves are still abundant, and there is a small chance to procure 'Essence Soul' during excavation, a treasure that can replace Soul Sand and greatly speed up cultivation."
"At this location, there is a vein of 'Sharp Edge Crystal'. This Rare Level material is essential in the crafting of many weapons, and we in Tianyuan City have a significant demand for it. Anything extra can easily be sold, with no worries about finding buyers."
"And here..."
"There are quite a few treasures, yet our manpower is not so abundant. Which ones should we prioritize?"
Mu Yuan, looking at the various reports sent back by the Expelling Squad and the Exploration Team, found himself facing the difficulty of choice.
...
At the same time, Wings of the Wind King was in flight.
Minister Qin and two other Legendary Lords were overlooking the vast land that swept by rapidly below their gaze.
There didn't seem to be many monsters.
Of course, this didn't prove anything.
The speed of Wings of the Wind King was incredibly fast; the vast land was rapidly retreating from view, and even as Legends, they could hardly make out the details on the ground.
The legendary aura emanating from the Wings of the Wind King was enough to frighten away Wisdom Monsters well in advance.
At this moment, there might already be Legendary Monsters who had noticed them, but out of caution, they had not shown themselves to intercept. Many Legendary Monsters were very cautious about their lives; they would not attack without assurance.
Perhaps they had perceived their extraordinary capabilities.
They were indeed not afraid of an ambush by Legendary Monsters. After all, the most ordinary person riding on Wings of the Wind King had records of slaying several Legendary Monsters.
They were fighting Legends.
But for an ordinary territory, even a single most common Legend could bring catastrophic disaster to a domain.
No matter how strong Tianyuan may be, it could not withstand a Legend.
Of course, not to mention Legends, the minions and tribes under the command of a usual Monster Overlord also pose a lethal threat to ordinary domains.
