51 The Monster Ranch Is Built! Found The Fish Spring Town!

Zhou Zhou looked at the Lord Talent notification in front of him and smiled.

He had thought that it would be good enough if he could instigate some Black Iron-Tier Sandman monsters to defect this time.

He did not expect it to be able to instigate a Green Bronze-Tier Sandman Leader!

As for his orders…

It was to let the Black Iron-Tier Sandman carry out a suicide attack within themselves. He would exhaust as many of them as he could.

As for the two Green Bronze-Tier Sandman Leaders under his control…

Zhou Zhou ordered them not to expose themselves first.

Their status was not ordinary.

He could let the two of them play ruthlessly within the enemy when he led the main force to attack tomorrow.

Zhou Zhou did not stay any longer.

He got Nezario to bring him back to Blazing Sun City.

On the way back.

Zhou Zhou had more ideas about this Incite Defection talent.

“This should be the correct way to activate this talent.”

“If I encounter a difficult enemy, I should come over every day and instigate them to rebel.”

“I might be able to turn all of the other party’s forces into spies in the end by accumulating them in this way.”

“In the end, there would only be one enemy leader left.”

Zhou Zhou thought mischievously.

…

Time passed quickly.

Night fell.

The scarlet fog gradually appeared in the world.

Zhou Zhou, who was feeding Nezario the Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores, suddenly saw Zhao Changshou walking over from afar.

“My Lord!”

“We didn’t let the Lord down!”

“The third monster ranch has been built and all three monster ranches have been upgraded to Green Bronze-Tier Elementary Grade!”

Zhao Changshou came in front of Zhou Zhou and said respectfully.

“Let’s go!”

“Let’s go take a look.”

Zhou Zhou’s eyes lit up.

A moment later.

The two of them arrived at the monster ranch.

Three monster ranches were 150% their previous sizes.

Moreover, not only did it cover a larger area, its architectural style was also a little more ancient.

Mu Gu was already waiting for Zhou Zhou here.

He immediately walked over when he saw his Lord coming.

“Reporting to My Lord!”

“All three monster ranches have been built and upgraded!”

“A total of 28,000 units of basic materials, 1,000 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores, and one Origin Crystal has been consumed!” Mu Gu said respectfully.

Zhou Zhou acknowledged.

He now had nearly 280,000 units of basic materials.

In terms of the Black Iron-Tier Mist Core, he had obtained more than 3,000 of them this morning by clearing the Monster Ranches.

This consumption was naturally nothing.

“We can start harvesting sand crystals tomorrow.”

“Elder Zhao.”

“Make sure every cubic meter of the wall is mixed with a bit of the Sand Crystal when you build it tomorrow!” Zhou Zhou said.

“Yes, my Lord!” Zhao Changshou said respectfully.

A moment later.

Wu Tu’s 30 reconnaissance team members and more than 900 soldiers led by Zhang Cang also returned.

“My Lord!”

“We’ve already cleared out all the scattered monsters in the Blazing Sun Desert!” Zhang Cang said excitedly.

“Well done. I’ll remember your contribution!” Zhou Zhou acknowledged.

Zhang Cang’s eyes lit up.

As the team of soldiers continued to expand, Zhou Zhou had already established the military officer positions among them.

They could exchange for food, equipment, potions, mechanostriders, positions, and many other benefits in the territory through military merits.

It was not perfect yet and some military merits systems were still relatively crude but it could already mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers.

Therefore, Zhou Zhou’s words were not a lie.

After that, Zhou Zhou and Zhang Cang went to retrieve the loot.

Half an hour later.

All the loots had been extracted.

Today, they had cleared a total of 624 scattered monsters.

Among them, there were 156 Desert Fog Lizards, 389 Black-tailed Fog Scorpions, and 79 Sandmen!

He obtained a total of 1,947 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores!

16,540 units of flesh (Black Iron-Tier Elementary, Intermediate and Advance Grade)!

427kg water bag!

389 portions of the Black-tailed Fog Scorpion’s poison sac! (Black Iron-Tier Elementary, Intermediate and Advance Grade)

389 bottles of antidotes! (Black Iron-Tier Elementary, Intermediate and Advance Grade)

168 Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificates! 68 Sword Shield Soldier Recruitment Books!

414 Poison Crossbowmen Class Change Certificates! 137 Poison Crossbowmen Recruitment Books!

12 Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade Sand Stealth Techniques!

25 Black Scorpion Poison Crossbows of Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade!

25 Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade Antidote formulas!

145kg of sand crystal!

79 Sandification and Sandman Summoning skill books!

In addition, there were four Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade Sandification and four Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade Sand Summoning.

[Skill Name: Sandification]

[Skill Quality: Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade]

[Skill Description: Sandify a part of the body for five seconds. Immune to Black Iron-Tier physical damage and some Green Bronze-Tier physical damage. After five seconds, the sandified part of the body will return to its original state.]

…

[Skill Name: Summon Elite Sandmen]

[Skill Quality: Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade]

[Skill Description: Summoning-type skill. Controls the sand element and condenses four Elite Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade Sandmen who will obey your orders completely and have simple intelligence to fight for you.]

…

Zhou Zhou chose to learn it immediately.

This Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade skill was much stronger than the original Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade skill.

“Will the Green Bronze-Tier Sandman Leader drop Green Bronze-Tier Sandman and Sandman Summoning skills then?” Zhou Zhou thought.

Then, he stopped thinking about it.

He would find out soon enough.

He took out the map of the Blazing Sun Desert.

At this moment, the paths on the map had already changed.

[Area Map Name: Blazing Sun Desert Map (Current Exploration Rate: 82%)]

“From 59% to 82%. It should reach 100% as long as we get rid of the last Sandman Lord.” Zhou Zhou thought.

Even though there would not be any rewards if he reached 100%.

But this was like seeing the complete jigsaw pattern after the last piece was put in place.

Anyone would feel a sense of accomplishment.

After that, Zhou Zhou went to the Gate of Summoning and used the recruitment books he had just obtained to recruit 68 Sword Shield Soldiers and 137 Poison Crossbow Soldiers.

The number of soldiers under his command had reached 1,883!

He handed these recruits to Bai Yi and told her about the Time Ruins. He asked them to rest for an hour after dinner before bringing 95 of the strongest soldiers with her to the Time Ruins.

Bai Yi received the order and left.

Zhou Zhou returned to the Lord’s courtyard.

As soon as he returned, he saw Wu Tu waiting for him at the door.

“Come in with me.” Zhou Zhou said.

Then, he opened the courtyard door and walked the brick path into the house.

Wu Tu followed behind.

In the living room.

Zhou Zhou asked about their results today after he asked Wu Tu to sit down.

“My Lord. We patrolled the exterior of the entire Blazing Sun Desert today and learned the general distribution.” After Wu Tu finished speaking, he took out a yellowish-brown papyrus map.

It was also a regional map of the Blazing Sun Desert.

However, it was different from the map he had given Zhou Zhou last night.

Three other areas with general outlines appeared around this map of the Blazing Sun Desert.

They were:

The desolate Gobi, a Black Iron-Tier area in the north!

The Thorn Dune, a Black Iron-Tier area in the east!

As well as the Fish Spring Town, a Green Bronze-Tier area in the southwest!

Zhou Zhou’s gaze landed on the map of Fish Spring Town.

He could not help but raise his eyebrows.

Good God!

It turned out that Fish Spring Town was beside the Blazing Sun Desert all along.

It did not take much effort to get to it!
