Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 28 Resource Points

To the east of the territory is a hillside at the bottom of a lake, covered with seaweed, corals and a large number of trees growing in the water. A large number of fish live and breed here, and there are also ferocious fish such as snakehead fish, alligator gar, salmon, and pike swimming around and hunting.

Among the rocks at the bottom of the lake, you can also see many crabs, shrimps and octopuses lurking in the sand.

Meng Zheng brought Cangyue, Jiang Bin and others, preparing to clear out the dangerous monster groups around and use this place as a long-term supply point for the tribe.

As long as we control this place, there will basically not be too many seaweed, seaweed and forest resources in the future.

It is only more than a hundred miles away from the Canghai tribe. As long as the dark tide waterway is used well, the resource collection of the territory will reach a new level.

"It's a pity that the fish here are too small, otherwise it could be used as a hunting spot." Looking at the small fish swimming around, Meng Zheng said to Jiang Bin regretfully.

"Yes, Chief. However, as long as the tribesmen continue to collect resources here for a long time, these fish will soon migrate, so it's not a pity."

Fish are too timid. If there are any unusual sounds or activities around them for a long time, they will cause large-scale migration of surrounding fish.

When the herbivorous fish migrate away, the ferocious fish that eat at the buffet will naturally follow.

Therefore, if you want to obtain a stable hunting ground, you cannot stay in one place for a long time. Instead, you should move to another place after each shot to maintain a good ecological environment at the hunting spot.

Alternatively, suitable fish can be caught and handed over to fish herders for grazing and breeding. Only in this way can a long-term and stable source of food be obtained.

After searching on the hill for a while, a patrolling sea yaksha soon came over and met Meng Zheng and others.

This is the patrolling Yaksha who was earlier assigned to investigate the situation.

Except for the five people who followed Meng Zheng, the rest of the patrolling sea yakshas had already been divided into six teams, constantly exploring the environment around the territory, searching for resource points and exploring monster communities.

The captain of the patrol sea Yaksha team took a team to monitor the situation of the fishman tribe and report the latest situation to Meng Zheng at any time.

The one who appeared now was a patrolling Yaksha who was investigating the situation in the east of the territory.

"My lord, there's a group of Fulang monsters entrenched on the top of the mountain. There's a treasure chest in their lair. There are 26 Fulang monsters in total. The strongest one is at Yellow Rank 5, and the rest are around Yellow Rank or ."

Hearing the patrolling Yaksha's report, Meng Zheng's eyes gleamed. Treasure chests often represent precious items and unknown opportunities, which is undoubtedly a huge boost to the tribe's development.

"Although the Level 5 Yellow Rank Fulang Monster is a bit tricky, it's not invincible." Meng Zheng pondered for a moment, then turned to Cangyue and Jiang Bin and said, "We need to formulate a thorough plan to ensure that we can safely obtain the treasure chest while minimizing unnecessary casualties."

Cangyue nodded, her eyes gleaming with wisdom. "We can use the terrain at the bottom of the lake to set some traps. At the same time, we can also take advantage of the wave monsters' weaknesses in the water, such as their aversion to waves."

The Fulang monster is a water monster that likes a quiet water environment. Whenever the waves surge, the Fulang monster will calm the waves in its own area as soon as possible.

It just so happens that there are many people in the Canghai tribe who play with waves. The Patrol Yaksha, Cangyue, and even Meng Zheng himself, with their talent for affinity with water, can also create a wave in a small area.

Therefore, Cangyue's proposal was very feasible. It would not only avoid a direct confrontation with the Fulang monster, but also weaken its ability to split its forces. Jiang Bin offered another suggestion: "We can first send a small team to pretend to gather resources here to attract the Fulang monster's attention. Then, we can raid their lair from another direction."

"It's not appropriate. It's only the sixth day. Under the restrictions of the Eternal Will, all monster groups cannot leave their nests. Cangyue's method is more reliable. Let's go and see the terrain of the mountain and the distribution of the Fulang monsters."

Then he looked at the patrol Yaksha beside him and said, "Go and call back the patrol Yaksha teams nearby, and together we will wipe out this Fulang monster's nest."

It is a rule of the Eternal Will that the monster group cannot leave their nest. Unless Meng Zheng and others personally appear in front of the Fulang Monster, they will not move a single step.

As for ignoring it and waiting for the system protection time to end before trying to eradicate the Fulang monster?
It takes too much time and there are too many uncertainties.

The Fulang monster just can't come out on its own initiative, but if any short-sighted mermaid runs in front of the Fulang monster, it will most likely face the fate of being rushed out in full force. Meng Zheng would not have the idea of ​​raising a tiger to harm himself.

Walking up the hillside, Meng Zheng discovered that the hill at the bottom of the lake was very large. Although it was not high, it stretched endlessly, with no end in sight. He wondered if there would be a high enough peak extending out of the water to form an island.

"We'll need to send people to conduct a thorough survey here. There must be a lot of usable resources, even minerals."

There are abundant mineral resources on land, but there are also sufficient reserves of mineral resources in the water. As long as the problem of mineral development is solved, the Canghai tribe will not have to worry about being strangled in this regard.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Not far away, six patrolling sea yakshas scattered around came to Meng Zheng and greeted him together.

"My lord, there's a group of Blastoises to the north of this hillside, and a group of Lake Rock Monsters to the southeast. Continuing east, there's a very long lake ditch, a thousand meters deep, with many groups of monsters active around it."

After arriving beside Meng Zheng, a group of patrolling sea yakshas came forward one by one to report their patrol situation to Meng Zheng, and indeed they found quite a few monster groups.

The underwater environment is complex and there are many more species than on land, which means that the Canghai tribe will face various challenges if they want to control this area.

The system protection will end in four days. Meng Zheng must develop the tribe's military strength. Even without high-end combat forces such as Cangyue and Jiang Tao, he can protect the security of the territory and even maintain the normal operation of resource points.

When he arrived at the mountain, Meng Zheng finally saw the Fulang monster. These guys generally had bodies of dozens of feet long and looked very similar to whales. They had deep blue eyes and silver-white light spots surrounding their bodies.

Many Fulang monsters were resting quietly on the hillside, and a few were swimming around, but they did not go beyond the top of the hillside. They looked very comfortable.

Gazing at one of the Fulang monsters from afar, Meng Zheng obtained their data panel:

[Race]: Fulang Yao

[Level]: Yellow Level 3
【Skill】:
Surge Control: Wave monsters can sense and manipulate the waves around them, creating massive whirlpools or calm waters to attack enemies or protect themselves. In extreme cases, they can even trigger tsunamis that threaten land.

Deep-sea invisibility: Using the scales on its body to refract and absorb light, the Fulang demon can become almost completely invisible in the deep sea, allowing it to launch surprise attacks or escape from its natural enemies.

Pearl Shield: When in danger, the Fulang Monster can quickly release the pearl-shaped object on its tail to form a solid water curtain shield to resist external attacks.
