Unparalleled Beast Soul

Chapter [-] Exploring New Territories

The wind blows across the grassland, the warm sun shines on the earth, and the majestic mountains appear in the sight of the migrants. 【】

The small river originating from the mountains meanders through the fields, and the sparkling light makes people dazzled.

"Crossing this river is our Thrall leader!"

This is the edge of the Southwest Province and the western boundary of Colinworth Territory. This small river happens to form a boundary river.

Is there our new home?Everyone looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, the dangerous peaks covered with snow, the dense forest...

Thrall, land of light and hope!

"Cross the river, let's camp on the other side of the river!" Leon ordered loudly, driving the bronze armored rhino and ran towards the small river first.

The water was splashing, and the clear river water just reached the rhino's knees. The thousand-pound big guy trampled on the water waves in the river, causing many small river fish to jump up after being frightened.

Leon laughed, stretched out his big hand and slapped it on the head, and the rhinoceros obediently waded across the river bank to a piece of grass on the other side.

Finally set foot on his own territory!Leon heaved a sigh of relief. Although he came to this place for the first time and was completely unfamiliar with the surrounding environment, he immediately felt a sense of identity in his heart, and felt like returning home!

He was not the only one who felt the same way. When the Kuanghammer tribe's team all crossed the river, many people couldn't help but cheered joyfully.

After going through so many hardships and obstacles, they have their own home again!

The grassland on the opposite side of the river bank is not very big. Leon took out the map and compared it, and found that there was nothing displayed on it, but this was the only grassland area in the Saarland.

It's a pity that this "grassland" is not enough to graze even a flock of sheep.

There is a long way to go!Leon once again felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

While starting to set up camp, Leon called all the important figures of the tribe together for a discussion.

"Everyone knows that Thrall Territory belongs to us now, but we basically know nothing about the situation of this territory. This map only depicts a rough outline of the area, and it is not of much value." Leon raised his voice. Yangshou's map said: "So I decided to take people to explore the territory first, first find a suitable place for us to build a castle or city, distinguish where hunting is possible and where is a dangerous area, and finally draw an accurate territory map .”

"Ray, how long will it take?" Elder Monstein asked, "I'm more worried about our food, I'm afraid we won't be able to last for a long time, and it is estimated that Collingworth will not allow our team to go through their territory." buy food."

This is a problem. Now the Hammer Tribe and Collinworth have completely turned their backs, and they have conflicts with the Garrison of the Gray District. The smooth road to the east is definitely not going to work.

"It doesn't matter, there are always more solutions than difficulties. The Nucang River is still to the south of us!" Leon said with a smile: "Our north is connected to Ironforge, at worst, let's go there to find a way!"

"For this exploration, I will bring Qiangwei and ten scouts. Rock Hammer and Aklan will stay at the camp. Rock Hammer, you need to train the camp well. I will be back in ten days and a half months at most."

"Elder, you can send someone to contact some gray camel caravans. As long as we are willing to pay, there will always be someone willing to buy food for us. The Hulun Grassland is so big, how can the Viscount Mailer completely seal off his territory? ?”

"Rubin, take someone to the nearby mountains to find out if there are any ore veins, but you must be protected by soldiers, pay attention to safety!"

Leon gave everyone instructions one by one, and arranged everything after he left.

The Thrall Territory is a completely new territory. The Crazy Hammer Tribe who just arrived can be said to have started from scratch. They have a lot of things to do and how many difficulties are waiting for them.

But no one flinched in embarrassment, on the contrary, everyone's heart was full of expectations for the future.

In the early morning, the mist that shrouded the mountains has not yet dissipated.

The large, sparsely populated forest has just woken up from a deep sleep, the melodious and clear chirping of early birds echoes in the forest, and the dewdrops on the grass blades on the ground shimmer with a little bit of light.

A small team traveled quickly through the woods and quickly came to the highest point of the mountain.

Leon stood on a bare rock and looked into the distance. The rising sun shone on his body, as if covering him with a golden battle suit.

Beside him were Qiangwei and ten of the most elite leopard warriors.

Considering the arduous task of the territory exploration this time, Leon didn't bring too many people with him, and only chose the leopard-born scouts who were familiar with the mountains and jungles and were agile to go into battle lightly.

Terrain exploration and map drawing are standard technical tasks, and what Leon learned in the army is only superficial, but as long as he masters the knack, just drawing a simple map will not be difficult for him.

After judging the exact direction, he took out the blank sheepskin scroll prepared in advance, and began to draw the outline of the surrounding terrain with a quill pen. This was only the first step.

Behind him is the vast Hulun Prairie, while in front of him are endless mountains and forests.

After the drawing was completed, Leon led the team towards the southwest.

His plan was to go upstream along the north bank of the Nucang River, first find the western edge of the Thrall Territory, and then turn to the northeast to explore the entire territory.

Unlike the Howling Forest, this primeval forest in the northwest of the mainland seems to have never been set foot in. The dense jungle and rugged terrain created quite a lot of trouble for the exploration team.

The tall and dense canopy blocks the sunlight, the dark and damp forest vines criss-cross, and the woodland is piled up with thick decayed leaves. If you are not careful, you may step on the poisonous snakes and insects hidden in the leaves.

Leon had to pull out the Leiyan saber to chop off the vines blocking the way. It was quite difficult to open a road in this forest, but the members of the exploration team were not experienced veterans, and they all cooperated tacitly, and the speed of moving forward was not too high. not slow.

At noon, the exploration team reached the bank of the Nucang River.

The roaring Nucang River is still surging, and the melting ice and snow from the high mountains in the northwest has brought it an extremely abundant amount of water. The slightly turbid river surface has dead trees and broken branches floating by from time to time.

And on the other side of the big river is the whistling forest, the former home of the Kuanghammer tribe!

Looking at the forest on the other side, everyone felt a little heavy, Qiangwei said softly: "We left, and I don't know if there are any orcs left there."

"After we build up the territory, we will rebuild the cable bridge and do everything we can to bring them here." Leon said in a deep voice, "In the end, we will definitely fight back!"

Qiangwei nodded vigorously.

The team continued to march west along the river bank over mountains and ridges. Leon stopped to draw a map from time to time, and the outline of the southwestern area of ​​Thrallland gradually took shape.

They camped on the mountain at night and set out again the next morning.

The farther west you go, the towering mountains gradually descend gradually, and the forest becomes sparser, replaced by patches of low jungle.

On the fourth day, Leon and others arrived at the Great Swamp.

This extremely vast swamp area is shrouded in a faint white mist, and as far as the eye can see, it is full of cobweb-like rivers and large and small lakes. This is where the Nucang River, which spans half of the continent, originates.

And this swamp is also the territory of the demon clan.

Among the four clans in the mainland, the demon clan can be said to be the most mysterious.

The monster clan is divided into two big clans, the monster clan and the demon clan. The monster clan does not have a unified country, and exists in the west and southwest of the mainland in the form of a castle territory union. There are also some frictions with the elves.

The demons have established an independent kingdom in the northwest of the mainland. They don't like to intervene in the disputes of the mainland, but no one dares to underestimate their strength.

The monster race has always been aloof. Apart from some necessary trade, they don't like to deal with other races in the mainland.

According to Leon's knowledge, there are often monsters who leave the Great Swamp and enter the Thrall region, and even once appeared on the edge of Collingworth. There may not be major disputes, but there are many minor frictions.

It is precisely because of the existence and activities of these monsters that no one is interested in this wild territory. Earl Astin threw it to Leon happily, which is absolutely malicious.

And no one knows how many monsters there are in the Great Swamp.

According to Leon's original map, this is the western border of Thrallland.

However, Leon explored all the way, and found that the area of ​​the Thrall Territory was actually much larger than what was shown on the map.

Then, the team turned and headed north along the edge of the Great Swamp.

They encountered new troubles.

Along the way along the Nucang River, the team did not encounter many ferocious monsters, and one or two forest beasts that appeared occasionally became a delicious meal for the team members.

But the situation at the edge of the Great Swamp is completely different. The jungle here is a paradise for all kinds of monsters and wild beasts.

The black-thorned porcupine, the striped tiger, the jungle panther, the swamp python... as if all the animals and monsters in the forest had gathered together, the exploration team had to slow down and move forward cautiously.

Fortunately, although there are a lot of monsters, none of them are of high rank. The most powerful monster the team has encountered is only the first-level Demon Tiger. Department of magic core.

Despite the small gains, after frequently encountering dangerous situations, in order to ensure everyone's safety, Leon gave up the idea of ​​exploring the western front of the territory and turned to the northeast to avoid this dangerous area.
