Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 88: The More You Think, the Angrier You Get

"Lord City Lord..."

A voice came from nowhere, but it rang directly in Hong Ming's ears: "Since this person doesn't know what's good for him, why not just take him back by force and destroy the forces he belongs to? He will definitely surrender."

"Don't do that for now."

Hong Ming said in a deep voice, "I'll give him another chance. This man's abilities are very useful to me. Forcing him will easily make him rebellious. It would be best if I could make him willingly do it."

As a person with special abilities, he is well aware of the inherent pride of people with special abilities and that they will never submit to anyone easily.

"but……"

He paused, his eyes cold, "If he really doesn't know what's good for him, then this city lord can't be blamed!"

……

There were no more accidents on the road, and Liu Hen quickly approached the campfire camp after running at full speed.

However, when he was still several thousand meters away, he saw Chang Xin flying quickly in this direction.

"You're back? Are you okay?"

Seeing him, Chang Xin hurried over with a nervous look on her face, obviously having heard the previous noise.

"I met Hong Ming. He is indeed a person with special abilities, and he is very strong."

Liu Hen slowed down a little: "Let's go back first."

Chang Xin waved her hand, and a silver-white illusory armor appeared on Liu Hen's body, and at the same time, his whole body floated up.

"Can you take people flying?" Liu Hen was a little surprised.

"The previous temporary amnesty has evolved into a military selection and command."

Chang Xin explained: "I can now temporarily strengthen a hundred people, but the strengthened people cannot fly, so I need to carry them."

Her flying speed was only average, and now with Liu Hen, her speed dropped again, to only more than ten meters per second.

"Let's go down. I think you should try to fly less."

Liu Hen said, "When you fly, your body glows like a light bulb, making you an easy target."

"..."

Chang Xin, who originally had a bit of a desire to show off, was speechless and had to land silently, because what Liu Hen said made a lot of sense.

Soon, they returned to the campfire.

"Have Chen Ye and the others returned?" Liu Hen asked.

"Not yet. This transaction, plus the search for an opportunity to contact the Red Snail Camp, may take several days. It's still early."

Chang Xin explained, "I've already asked them to bring enough food. Are you worried that Hong Ming will stop us?"

"I am a little worried. Although that guy didn't show any killing intention towards me, he might not towards you. You two are natural competitors."

Liu Hen said coldly: "Is there any way to contact Chen Ye?"

"There's no other way, but I can use the location of the pardon contract to find her quickly."

Chang Xin frowned and asked, "Is Hong Ming very strong?"

"Very strong!"

Liu Hen nodded: "Based on what I just saw, the other party may be able to easily kill the bronze dragon and the demon that could summon skeletons. However, the other party's ability should take time to prepare, and the lead time is very long."

He thought of what he saw outside the Hongluo camp, when Hong Ming was injured.

If the other party had the same means as before, he would probably be able to kill his way through the Hongluo camp alone and there would be no chance of getting hurt.

Based on this, he guessed that the other party's supernatural powers really needed to be prepared in advance.

After all, plants are scarce in this world, and the opponent's method of controlling plants to fight is actually very limited.

At this time, the two had arrived at the inner camp.

After entering the home building, Liu Hen took out the bonfire and lit it.

The blessing effect of the bonfire appeared again. He lay down on the simple wooden bed and pulled Chang Xin over.

"Killing those two demons easily? They are indeed very powerful!"

Chang Xin followed Liu Hen's lead and sat on the edge of the bed, letting Liu Hen's hands play with her body. At the same time, she said solemnly, "Can you tell me more about this?"

"If he's not lying, his ability should be to control plants. He can quickly produce plant seeds and even grow them to giant sizes to fight for him. If there are no plants around, he needs to sow and cultivate them himself, which takes about a minute or two to prepare."

Liu Hen explained to Chang Xin everything he had seen before, and also told her that Hong Ming was the lord of Lvxia City. He finally concluded, "His attack range should be around one thousand meters."

He had collected all the plants nearby before, so he was not sure whether Hong Ming could only control the plants he cultivated, or all plants.

"By the way, he also said that you are just a newcomer in the second realm, and he can kill you easily."

He looked at Chang Xin in his arms: "Are you in the second realm now?"

"probably."

Chang Xin nodded, her expression becoming more serious. "I have a feeling that a crown will appear in the third realm. By then, I will be even more powerful. Maybe I can compete with him then, if he is in the third realm."

"What do you need for your evolution?" Liu Hen asked immediately.

Now that the two of them have completely joined forces, he will not be stingy if he can help Chang Xin improve her strength quickly.

"It requires magic crystals, but I can only absorb a dozen magic crystals at most every day, so it's difficult to improve."

Chang Xin said, "It takes time to improve superpowers. Green Cloud City must have existed for a very long time, and the other party probably relied on time to get to where they are now."

"Is it the first realm right after awakening?"

Liu Hen asked again, "You evolved quickly after awakening. The speed from the first realm to the second realm was so fast, so the third realm shouldn't be too slow, right?" "It's different. I told you that I actually had signs of awakening when I was very young."

Chang Xin explained: "It was considered a gradual process, but it is unlikely to reach the third level in a short period of time."

Having said this, she was about to stand up: "I'll send someone to inform Chen Ye to tell her to be careful of Hong Ming's people."

"Don't worry, let me calm down first."

Liu Hen quickly pulled Chang back and pressed him down.

Chang Xin: "...You are suppressing me..."

……

afterwards.

Chang Xin put on her warm suit and looked at Liu Hen with resentment: "Are you angry now?"

"How can it possibly disappear? But my anger is not directed at you."

Liu Hen put on his warm suit again, stood up and went straight to the creation workbench. He wanted to make more home cannons, but found that the workbench that was being upgraded could not be used.

Other ordinary-level workbenches do not have the home cannon recipe at all.

He endured it for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Regardless of whether Hong Ming has any killing intentions towards me, I will definitely kill him. This kind of thing must never happen again. Only by killing all those who covet my abilities can we avoid such a bloody incident."

At first, Hong Ming looked down at him condescendingly, as if he was a beautiful girl and wanted to snatch him away by force, which made him very unhappy.

He wasn't that angry at first, but after he came back, he became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it.

Perhaps the memories of cattle and horses in his previous life were awakened, triggering some bad memories in him.

"I can stay up all night and work hard, but I will never allow anyone to force me to work hard."

The thought flashed through his mind.

Moreover, Hong Ming has a very high opinion of himself. After being rejected by me, he might become angry and humiliated. Hostility is almost inevitable, so I must be well prepared.

Although Chang Xin didn't know what "dog blood" meant, she could roughly guess what Liu Hen meant.

"What do you want to do?" she asked, standing up.

"You have people strengthen the defense first. I'll make more homestead artillery."

Liu Hen said, "Remember to pick out some trustworthy people first, sixteen people first."

"War slaves can be trusted. As long as their masters are alive, they are basically unlikely to betray."

Chang Xin nodded: "Then I will go prepare and select some smart people."

"correct……"

Liu Hen thought for a moment and spoke again: "If we can guarantee the loyalty of those who are pardoned, then we should pardon more people and find more deserters as soon as possible. Don't worry about food. I can feed as many people as possible."

Chang Xin was surprised: "Can you afford to support more people?"

"As long as you can manage those people and prevent chaos from happening, that's all that's fine."

Liu Hen has been doing experiments these past two days. For an ordinary-level campfire, a cooking grid can only cook a maximum of 100 kilograms of food at a time, and the time is one minute. The fuel consumed is the continuous burning time of 100 seconds.

For a constant temperature campfire, a cooking block can cook up to 10,000 kilograms of food at a time, and the time is also one minute, and the fuel consumed is 10,000 seconds.

If nothing unexpected happens, the amount of food that can be cooked at one time will increase when the campfire level reaches a higher level.

A single large log can keep a bonfire burning for 10,000 minutes, which is 600,000 seconds.

This is equivalent to a large piece of wood being enough to make 600,000 kilograms of carbohydrate porridge.

He has no shortage of this kind of thing, even in this barren dark world.

Liu Hen felt that his abilities might have been born to build power.

"I understand. As long as your supplies can keep up, leave the rest to me."

Chang Xin felt that she might have underestimated the ability of the man in front of her.

She took a deep breath and quickly turned and left.

After Chang Xin left, Liu Hen came to one of the black iron-grade workbenches.

"Although firearms and other firearms may appear later, at least they are not there yet, so we still need to prepare."

He found the bow and arrow recipe and chose to make it directly.

The bow and arrow recipe is the same as the Tang horizontal sword recipe. Although they are the same recipe, they can be made into different levels.

The highest level of workbench now is bronze, which can produce bronze-level bows and arrows.

However, all these things require low-level items in the early stage as materials.

For example, a black iron-grade longbow requires a wooden bow as the material and iron ore and magic crystals to be added to it.

A bronze-grade longbow requires adding copper ore and magic crystals to a black iron-grade longbow.

In the past, in the dark, the barbarians rarely used bows and arrows, because the distance they could see required close combat, and bows and arrows were of no use at all.

But I can use the campfire for lighting, and even if I can't shoot accurately, shooting a large number of arrows will definitely cause considerable damage.

In particular, the power of a bronze-level bow and arrow is definitely not too weak.
