After mastering the resurrection technique, they begged me to extend their lives.

Chapter 94 Dead Dragon's Saliva · Whispers of a Delicate Cat

Regarding the main city.

An Xiao already had a vision in mind.

Carol's Dark Plains is indeed nice and secluded, but its core is not in the central area of ​​Endedes.

To achieve Hogan's vision of "establishing a kingdom," he would need to conquer all areas in Endedes, including the Black Rain Cemetery, Sandra Ruins, Black Dragon Maze, Ten Thousand Coffins Cold Ruins, and Cursed Forbidden Mountain, and control the commercial hub, "Wilderness Street."

Once everything is achieved, a true "main city" will be built in the central core area.

Only in this way can central control be considered achieved.

An Xiao had already decided on the name for the main city.

"The City of Eternal Silence".

"The lost land, silent for a thousand years. All creation here is born of me."

The core of Inendides is the various creations it has revived, so the city where its creations are gathered has very few living beings.

If one could remain undisturbed, spending eternal silence here, studying divine magic, seeking the truth of resurrection, and exploring the miracles of the Dragon Mother would also be a good choice.

A grand ambition has been set in motion.

The next step is to proceed in sequence.

"The Dark Tomb can serve as a secondary city to help me through the mid-game development, while in the early game, I need to completely control the shallows and continue building defensive fortifications."

"The next tasks are clearing land, planting crops, and obtaining essential resources such as food and water."

With a basic circulation of resources in place, we can focus more energy on other aspects.

Each new wave of creations needs to consume the "experience orb" for a boost, so An Xiao's team strategy is to "take turns going out, with the high-level players leading the low-level ones, capturing points and exploring, without overstepping boundaries or being greedy."

He was taught all the things to pay attention to when clearing land.

To play it safe and be cautious, you must first clear the fog, confirm the characteristics of the monsters, fight outnumbered, cooperate, and not rush in alone.

The direct benefit of this strategy is that all of these campaigns resulted in zero casualties.

No one was injured or killed, and no property was damaged.

Creatures below level 20 saw their levels skyrocket, while those above level 20 made steady progress.

Meanwhile, creations like Shino, Airi, and Hela, who are LV35+, have learned to cooperate more effectively.

In addition, the little fox's gluttonous soul-capturing bag has accumulated about 5 "souls" as currency through repeated collections.

An Xiao's team swept through the swamp, their footprints traversing every puddle. Wherever they went, the bone spirits and monsters scattered, even the red-named monsters dared not approach.

"OK."

At this moment, An Xiao looked back at the newly resurrected "white bone hounds" behind her and nodded in satisfaction: "The scale of creation is almost at its limit. Next, it's time to accumulate crystals."

My creation rank is stuck at LV7, and my experience points are slowly increasing, no longer as fast as before.

But An Xiao knew that the time spent cultivating could not be wasted either. Even if the extra corpses could not be resurrected or brought back to life, they could be condensed into crystals and taken home to Hela for "extraction" to transform them into her own "special blue medicine".

Everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

The fifth day in Endedes.

An Xiao stood in the White Sand District, directly east of the Dark Rift Valley, listening to Xiao An's report.

"Master, while scouting ahead, I discovered an oasis. It's bottomless, and the water is quite clean, a dark yellow color. I took a sip, and it tastes a bit like—the herbal tea from the Heavenly Flower Spirit Kingdom."

"?"

'

Seeing Xiao An's relaxed and natural expression, An Xiao couldn't help but ask, "What if drinking black water is poisonous?"

You think you did the right thing, right?

"!"

Upon hearing these words of concern, Xiao An let out a hoarse cry, flapped its wings, and landed on his shoulder. It tilted its head close to him and said, "It's something I'd be extremely happy to do to investigate unknown locations for my master! Besides, if I'm poisoned to death, my master will surely resurrect me, right?"

"—You can only be resurrected twice."

An Xiao solemnly emphasized: "Unless my creation rank advances to the late stage, don't mistake resurrection for immortality, understand?"

"I understand, I understand~"

Xiao An, grinning mischievously and without any seriousness, simply nodded repeatedly, indicating that he wouldn't do it again next time.

He also pecked An Xiao, becoming even bolder and more reckless.

"Vita, let's go."

"Okay, meow."

After the upgrade, the Big Cat is more maneuverable.

Not only does the running speed increase dramatically, but at high speed, it can achieve the "shadow walking" effect, which means that it puts a layer of "camouflage" on itself and its owner, making it impossible for distant units to detect its movements at a glance.

Amidst the sound of the wind, An Xiao rode Vita, accompanied by Xiao An, alone on the horse;

Beside him, Hino and Carol rode alongside him on their skeletal hounds.

An Xiao thought that if possible, she should also find some undead creatures here that could serve as high-level mounts, such as ghost horses, to raise in large numbers, and if necessary, train a cavalry unit.

"Vita, what undead creature do you think can run at a speed similar to yours?"

"This one?"

Vita thought for a moment, then shook her head with considerable confidence, saying, "If they couldn't fly, I doubt such a thing could exist. After all, I run faster than leopard people. I've raced against them before, meow."

"—There's such a thing?"

"Hmm, ghost mounts are not affected by air resistance, since they are intangible. They can reach their maximum speed in the shortest time when they move. If the master wants to have a large number of similar mounts, he will probably have to spend a lot of effort to find them. Meow."

Vita avoided eye contact, not revealing her true intentions.

What she was thinking was, if her master had more and better mounts, and might occasionally ride someone else, wouldn't she be relegated to the sidelines?

This is absolutely unacceptable.

Therefore, she offered a clever solution—

"I suggest that the master skip the ground mounts and go straight to the air mounts for the important creations—hmm, that way we can save ourselves the trouble along the way and get straight to the point, meow."

Inner monologue: (I wish I were the only land mount, meow.)

"OK."

An Xiao nodded. "But I want the Air Force, and I want the Army Cavalry. I want them all."

Vita:

'

The cat's head was serious, its steps slowed, and its ears drooped halfway down.

With a bit of a temper, he drove An Xiao to the oasis.

About half an hour had passed.

The group finally crossed the barren black land and arrived at an even more desolate desert area.

After traveling several dozen miles, the outline of the oasis finally came into view.

"My lord, this place is called the 'Burning Desert,' located between the Dark Rift Valley and the Soul-Splitting Bone Forest. There used to be no oasis here."

Carol explained.

"Hmm, let me observe for a while."

An Xiao jumped off her mount and came to the front of the oasis.

Looking around, one can see that the ground here is dark yellowish-brown, with the soil tips containing a large number of weathered animal bones and fragments of the remains of the dead.

Unlike the layered piles of bones in the Deep Black Rift Valley, which are exposed on the surface of the ravines, these bones here are buried in the sand and have long since weathered away.

An Xiao roughly estimated that the oasis covered an area of ​​about three square kilometers. It was a low-lying basin surrounded by ring-shaped sand dunes, with an irregular pool in the center. Around the pool, there were sparse drought-resistant weeds and shrubs.

The only tree here is an unidentified tea tree with black trunk and dark green leaves. Although it is lifeless, it exudes a rare sense of warmth in this desolate desert, forming a stark contrast with the barren landscape we have traveled through.

"The water is indeed blackish-yellow—it's a bit mysterious."

Under the protection of Xinuo and Airi, An Xiao walked to the edge of the pool, bent down, and reached out to cup the dark, rich water in her hands.

Occasionally, strong winds would whip up nearby sand, causing it to hiss like bones cracking as it rubbed against the sand, keeping the team members on high alert at all times.

"Brother, although Xiao An has already had some, I think you shouldn't drink anymore."

Airi was always wary of such unclean things, and she believed that Anxiao should not have taken the "unknown liquid".

However, An Xiao held the liquid in her palm and felt its texture.

"Such rich energy—"

If An Xiao had to use one word to describe the feeling of this handful of water, the only word she could think of was "heavy".

"It is by no means the quality of ordinary liquid."

The "Creator's Gaze" item appraisal process has been launched.

After her combat power level increased, An Xiao's appraisal skill also unlocked more clues and information, especially in item appraisal, where she gained a more comprehensive "source" function.

as predicted.

The doubts were resolved in an instant.

[Longyan Tea Island, Energy Source, Undeveloped]

Rarity: SS

A thousand years ago, when the black dragon Nidhogg unleashed its destructive ray, its body crashed into the desert to the left of the rift valley, its head buried deep in the sand.

Because the dragon's power was not completely exhausted before its death, its ultimate life essence merged into the earth, breaking through the sand layer solidified by necrotic particles and penetrating the corrupt river of the underground swamp on the other side, thus opening up a hidden underground river channel that leads directly to this place.

Contents: Ambergris, Necrotic Magic Energy, Dragon Essence, Dragon Scale Powder, Tea Tree Root, etc.

""

An Xiao became increasingly alarmed as she looked at the document.

He quickly put it in his mouth and took a big gulp to quench his thirst.

"Hmm—it does taste good."

Although the water appears murky and dark yellow, it has a refreshing and sweet taste, making it a perfect remedy for internal heat.

You can even feel the Mana pool inside your body surging slightly.

"The case is solved."

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and analyzed, "The dark yellow color of the water is a result of the dark yellow sand and gravel minerals underground and the secretions from the roots of the ambergris tree that penetrate deep into the pool. But now, I have determined one thing..."

"All the tea trees nearby are treasures, and every drop of liquid in this pool is a product of the dragon race."

"The black dragon is most likely the one who perished in the Dragon Labyrinth."

97

His name is Nidhogg.

"Although I don't know what kind of treasure he wants."

"But it wouldn't be unreasonable for me to first make full use of the treasure he left me, to fully utilize its value, and to use it to build the 'City of Eternal Silence.'"

An Xiao's eyes deepened as she gazed into the endless distance. Suddenly, she spoke, asking Carol, "If I wanted to enclose the entire desert and build a 'Great Wall of Bones,' how much material do you think I should prepare?"
