Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 172 0171: First Expansion of Territory

-

①: Silver and gold are both metals that are lacking in the Wild World. Silver is required to expand the Wild World and explore territories;
②: Each expansion costs 1 km/1000 taels of silver; the starting point is a thousand taels. If it is less than a thousand taels, it cannot be expanded. If it is less than a thousand taels, it will be counted as the lowest thousand taels. For example, if it is 1900, the minimum 1000 taels will be taken as the effective expansion, and the remaining 900 taels cannot be expanded.

③: The expansion method is that the interface expands outward evenly and synchronously without specifying the direction.

④: After expansion, it cannot be cancelled;
⑤: Ensure that there is enough silver stock in the territory for expanding new territories.

Looking at the prompt interface, Cheng Zongyang did a quick calculation in his mind and was secretly shocked.

"My goodness, if we expand the distance to 100,000 kilometers, it will cost 100 million taels of silver."

But then I thought about it, the compensation paid by the last dynasty in the previous life was in the billions, and it seemed nothing.

At the same time, I also feel that spending only 100 million taels of silver for 100,000 kilometers seems too little?
But from what he had learned about the world from Luo Dingran before, he had a general understanding of the world.

There are seven known countries, and Daliang is the one closest to the sea. Silver and gold are the common currencies of various countries, and their circulation is beyond doubt.

It shouldn't be a problem to earn hundreds of millions of taels of silver in the future.

Although I don’t know why there is a lack of silver and gold in the wilderness world.

But when he thought of money, Cheng Zongyang lost all his anxiety.

As for the gold in the expanded inventory, the last slot is 50 tons. As long as you do business and look for gold mines, it will only take time to collect them.

To put it another way, this last box must be opened.

Let's get back to the topic. After reading the prompt interface, Cheng Zongyang entered [10000] taels in the last blank field.

Then click [OK] next to it.

Suddenly, the interface disappeared and a familiar prompt sound rang out from the cabin.

[Checking that there is enough silver in the territory to expand the new territory... deduction successful, the territory is balanced and expanded by 10 kilometers, and the territory boundary expansion is completed. ]

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zongyang walked to the corner and saw that only the last eight hundred taels of silver were left in the two large boxes.

After closing the box, he immediately went outside.

Suddenly, on the left hand side, that is, to the south, I saw the endless blue sea.

Luo Dingran and others were looking at the sea in the distance with shock on their faces.

Because their location is in the middle and lower part of the mountainside, after expanding by 10 kilometers, their vision also expanded and it was no longer a forest.

"Sir, what is this?" Luo Dingran asked in shock when he saw Cheng Zongyang coming.

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "From today on, the area where we can move, hunt, and gather has expanded by 20 miles."

"So that's how it is." Luo Dingran suddenly realized.

After a burst of excitement, everyone continued to be busy.

Since the territory has expanded, it means that they will have more work tasks in the future.

Cheng Zongyang didn't move. He stood at the edge of the forest, looking at the clean and clear coast and beach in the distance, as well as the azure blue sea in the distance.

Although there was still some distance, he seemed to be able to hear the gentle sound of waves hitting the beach.

"I really feel relaxed and happy." Cheng Zongyang took a deep breath, feeling very comfortable.

"With the sea, we can still fish in the future..."

However, before Cheng Zongyang could finish his muttering, his eyes suddenly widened as he looked at the sea.

But overseas, a huge head shaped like a giant python rushed out from the water. It had a single horn on its head and was holding a prey that seemed to have just been captured in its mouth. Then it slowly sank.

Cheng Zongyang didn’t know what kind of prey it was, but just the head showing was enough for him to see clearly from several kilometers away, and the size at such a close distance... Cheng Zongyang couldn’t help but get goose bumps all over his body!
"There are still giant beasts in this sea! Is it a strange beast? Or something else?"

Cheng Zongyang swallowed.

Forget about fishing at sea! A sea beast of this level, regardless of whether it is a strange beast or not, just based on its terrifying size, no ship can be enough for it to eat.

Even at such a long distance, he could still see the prey being bitten, which proved that the prey was not small in size.

"I need to learn more about the dangers of this wild world!"

In order to better understand the surrounding situation, Cheng Zongyang went to the top of the mountain alone.

Along the way, Cheng Zongyang saw the nest where the black-horned python was originally located. But the wooden nest was now occupied by a gray-haired lynx.

The noise made by Cheng Zongyang's footsteps had already woken it up.

It didn't move, but stared at Cheng Zongyang quietly.

Cheng Zongyang just glanced at it. He had taken its hair to identify it before, and only knew its ownership, but did not know its information.

Walk up all the way, and when you reach the identification range of ten meters, throw an identification over there, and then continue to walk up.

From that day on, the two sides have been keeping their distance from each other, and Cheng Zongyang has no intention of touching it this time.

Immediately, the information about the lynx also emerged.

-

【Lynx King】

Introduction: A lynx king from Xueyue Peak, cautious, smart, and extremely powerful.

Ability introduction: ①: After using this ability, your movement speed and reaction speed increase by 500%; ②: After using this ability, your combat power increases by 300%, and the strength of your claws increases by 200%; ③: You have a natural sense of danger and can avoid danger and seek good fortune.

-

“Four stars!”

Cheng Zongyang's heart skipped a beat.

This is the strongest beast he has ever seen, and its three abilities are also extremely amazing.

Cats are already extremely fast. Once they use this ability, their speed will be increased fivefold. Who can beat them?

Not to mention the subsequent increase in combat power and the strengthening of sharp claws, as well as the sense of danger. It can be said that he is a natural killer!
If someone gets close to you, you can imagine what the outcome would be.

Cheng Zongyang continued to look at it and climb the mountain, surprised that it could get along with them peacefully.

Now it seems that Cheng Zongyang guessed that it was this crisis sensing ability that made it so cautious.

I feel that these people can cause harm to it, or even death!
It is not difficult for Cheng Zongyang to kill it.

As long as it gets close, the soul slave can trap it at the cost of serious injury or even death, and then counterattack.

But there is no need for that, even though he can try it now with the help of the magnet and the soul-gathering monument.

The Lynx King also stared at Cheng Zongyang as he walked up the mountain.

After watching Cheng Zongyang leave, it felt relieved and lay down in its nest again.

When Cheng Zongyang appeared just now, it felt a sense of crisis. Fortunately, no one had any intention of taking action.

Perhaps because of the Lynx King, the mountain seemed to be free of ordinary wild animals, and they reached the top of the mountain smoothly. "Huh!"

Cheng Zongyang exhaled lightly and looked around. It took him nearly two hours to climb up the mountain using his body movements, which was enough to show the altitude of the mountain.

There are also many trees on the top of the mountain. Although they are not as high as those at the bottom of the mountain, they still block the view and make it impossible to see the surrounding scenery below.

There is no pattern in this mountain where the number of trees decreases as you go up the mountain.

So he found one of the trees and climbed up.

As a result, when Cheng Zongyang looked down, his expression froze. All he could see were rolling clouds.

Damn it, that was a bad idea.

I had no choice but to go down the mountain to the mountainside area.

After trying several times, Cheng Zongyang finally saw the beautiful scenery of the territory.

There is a huge mountain under your feet, which extends down to the beach, and beyond that is the endless ocean!

Looking down, sea beasts and fish occasionally jump out of the sea, and groups of seabirds gather in a certain area, seemingly catching fish.

"The oceans in this world are absolutely dangerous. You can't just go there casually!"

Cheng Zongyang only took a quick look and knew the danger of this sea area.

He was thinking that he could make a lot of catches and earn points, but it turned out that he was overthinking.

Next, he walked around the mountain, and at the same time, he checked the map in his hand and saw the situation behind the mountain.

Behind Xueyue Peak is a plain forest that stretches endlessly, and its area cannot be estimated with the naked eye.

"It's really inconvenient that there are no place names marked on this map. I have to go there myself to find out." Cheng Zongyang frowned.

This mountain was called Snow Moon Peak, which he learned only after he obtained the personal identification. The original Gray Wolf King came from this Snow Moon Peak, and so did the current Lynx King.

As for what is behind the Xueyue Peak, he has to go there in person to identify it.

But looking at the situation behind the mountain, Cheng Zongyang matched them one by one and had a concrete understanding.

"Once the soul slaves of the sixty soul crystals are reshaped, it's time to prepare a real hunting and exploration team."

Looking at the vast expanses of forest, it means endless and abundant resources of all kinds.

These resources are waiting for him to mine!
"Manpower! Not enough!!" Cheng Zongyang looked determined.

After going down the mountain and returning to the territory, Cheng Zongyang found Luo Dingran who was planning a route to the beach.

Seeing Luo Dingran act so quickly, Cheng Zongyang was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and said:
“I just saw it on the top of the mountain. The sea is far more dangerous than the mountains. It’s not something we can venture into right now.

Now that our territory has expanded by ten kilometers, there are too many resources for us to develop. What we need to do now is to find a way to earn more points, accumulate more soul crystals, and get more manpower. "

Luo Dingran understood Cheng Zongyang's meaning and said with a folded hand:

"I understand. I originally thought that the way to quickly accumulate points was to catch fish from the sea, which would give me double the points.

Now that the adults have changed it, let's look for the source of the water to see if we can find the source and check where the fish are coming from.

It just so happens that I have organized a hunting team, so they can hunt and gather while searching for the source of water."

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly: "By the way, there is something to tell you. There is a red ore next to a cliff in the northwest direction. You can find a chance to take a look. I remember there was a task where two hundred kilograms of ore could be exchanged for twenty points. If it is consigned, the price should be higher. If it is difficult to dig, try to get the mole beast to cooperate."

Hearing this, Luo Dingran immediately said, "Yes, I will make arrangements."

After giving the instructions, Cheng Zongyang looked at the time. It was almost evening, so he didn't want to stay any longer and went back to the market hut to leave the wilderness world.

Appearing in the study, Cheng Zongyang looked at the dim study, without turning on the light, but sat down on the chair, thinking quietly.

At some point, Zhang Chuqi's voice came from outside the study:

"Master, the food has been reheated for you. I've left it at the door."

Before Cheng Zongyang could speak, he heard the sound of light footsteps gradually fading away.

Cheng Zongyang took out his watch and looked at it. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

He pinched his brows slightly and sorted out the subsequent situation.

Firstly, in order to improve his cultivation, he could only rely on the Qi Yuan Dan to assist in his practice and speed up his cultivation.

Second, in terms of points, we should first focus on the demand for soul crystals. If someone sells at the price Luo Dingran set, we can purchase them frequently in the future.

As for the corpse, that's not difficult. Not everyone is an honest citizen, there are always some people who do things secretly.

Catch this kind of people and lock them up first, then kill them when needed and use them as soul crystals to absorb and reshape soul slaves.

Third, the Soul Gathering Monument!

He planned to have someone take the stone tablet to various villages, towns, counties, etc. to continue to upgrade the level of the soul-gathering tablet.

When trying to use the Soul Gathering Monument as an aid, the battle became extremely easy.

For him, if the fight can be ended in a simple and direct way, he would not waste time fighting back and forth.

What is the purpose of learning martial arts?
In order to have the ability to protect oneself and the confidence to protect the family.

It's like a life-and-death fight. As long as you can kill the opponent and survive, even if you stab the opponent, kick him, lock his throat, or spit on him, as long as you can win, it's all worth it!
In the final analysis, it's murder!
He can use the power of the Soul Gathering Monument to help him kill the opponent, and he is so foolish as to do it openly and honestly, with both of them fighting back and forth?

Unless it’s for practice!
Therefore, the Soul Gathering Monument needs to be moved to another location to upgrade its level.

At the same time, the soul stone can also go with it. The area of ​​Yufeng County is not enough.

After being somewhat sure about what he was going to do next, Cheng Zongyang stood up and walked to the table, lit the oil lamp and opened the door.

I immediately saw a wooden box next to the door, with heated food in it. From what Zhang Chuqi said before, it was obvious that the food had been heated once.

Cheng Zongyang didn't bother to pick and took it into the study.

After a while, Cheng Zongyang came out with the box after finishing his meal.

"Master, leave it to me."

At this time, a maid saw Cheng Zongyang coming out with a basket, and hurriedly walked over, bending down to take the basket.

"Yes." Cheng Zongyang handed it to her and asked, "Where's the housekeeper?"

"At the front yard gate, someone seems to be looking for you." The maid responded respectfully.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy." Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly and went straight to the front yard.

At this time, Zhang Chuqi was talking to Li Xian at the door.

Zhang Chuqi, who had his back to Cheng Zongyang, did not see it, but Li Xian had seen it and immediately bowed to Cheng Zongyang and said:

"Meet Master Cheng."

"Young Master!" Upon hearing this, Butler Zhang immediately turned around and bowed.

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly and asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

Butler Zhang immediately responded, "Master, Boss Li wants to report something to you, but you are in seclusion."

"Yes." Li Xian said, "Regarding the matter of Qingfeng County, someone missed one thing. I will come to inform you after I understand it clearly."
