MC's career as foreign lord

"Take good care of the territory for me. When I return, I hope that both the aerial farms and the market, as well as all the buildings, will be completed. You must also be fully prepared to defend the territory!" Zhou Ren said, holding Hilla's hand, and the Elf Princess nodded solemnly.

"Alright, stop showing off your affection here. If it weren't for too much fire in that place, I would really want to go with you!" Anna complained somewhat dejectedly from the side, while on the other side, the little elf Leah was reluctantly bidding farewell to Leiqiu.

The little girl was still sentimental, but it seemed that her practice hadn't fallen behind. One could sense a very obvious magical aura in her every move.

Carrying the hopes of the Silver Dragon Clan and the Silver Moon Elf Clan, this little girl possessed extremely terrifying magical talent, which couldn't be concealed even here.

She waved her hand, "Big brother, Leah will be waiting for you to come back here. You have to bring me delicious things from over there!"

Zhou Ren waved his hand with a smile, "Of course! When I get back, I'll make potions for you!"

In the next moment, Leiqiu had already jumped onto his head. This electric elemental spirit, of course, wasn't too afraid of the fiery environment, so it was very excited to go along. In the distance, a large expanse of lightning flickered, which was its family and friends seeing it off.

As for the Elf Druids and Monks, they were also ready. They carried all kinds of items they thought they might need on their backs, along with different weapons, and a large number of blocks, and directly walked into the portal.

In order to go to the Nether, Zhou Ren had also gone all out. He had given them all full Nether mining permissions to avoid problems after arriving in the Nether.

As for the skeletons that Jim led, and the other batch of skeletons that Mosa and Sandru led, they were also preparing to go to the Nether to broaden their horizons.

That batch of skeletons had no self-awareness, but they possessed extremely strong combat power and jumping ability, and could explore some relatively dangerous areas for them.

And everyone had a batch of sufficiently powerful ranged weapons in their hands. Zhou Ren had even put on a set of enchanted Adamantium alloy armor, holding an Adamantium alloy bow in his hand, so he was fully equipped.

This set of equipment, let alone going to the Nether, even killing the Ender Dragon probably wouldn't suffer too much loss. After all, the Dragon of Shame, the Ender Dragon, has no prestige at all.

After saying goodbye to everyone and watching the people who came to see them off leave, he nodded hard and led the two liches into the portal.

A scarlet and vast world was revealed before their eyes. The original portal still didn't have any movement. It seemed that even the environment here hadn't changed. It was still a Nether wasteland, where many Nether rocks and soul sand could be seen. Many skeletons even couldn't help but take out their iron pickaxes and start digging on the spot.

"It seems that the immediate crisis has been resolved. Let's all have some free time for a while!" Zhou Ren nodded. He had already explained the terror of the Zombie Pigmen to everyone, and everyone knew that attacking one would result in countless more unless you killed it with one strike.

So this was a rare moment of safety, and they even had the opportunity to put out two chairs and sit and chat.

"Sitting in front of a lava lake and drinking black tea is really a rare experience!" Zhou Ren sighed. Only the monk Geno accompanied him for tea. The other legends were basically researchers and were much busier than him.

Even the Dwarf patriarch who had come along felt that this was simply a paradise for their dwarves. Countless materials filled with flames everywhere, and some high-temperature ores were what he wanted most.

"If you really want to place an extra race here, then you must have a combat team that is prepared around the clock, otherwise you might be attacked by a large number of monsters one day!" Zhou Ren reminded him.

This was also the reason why the Dwarf patriarch asked him. After learning about the situation here, he shook his head helplessly. At least the current Underdark dwarves didn't have much qualification to be stationed here.

But he didn't give up, "I will continue to contact those compatriots who are still in the Underdark. What's good there? There's no food, clothing, or materials, and even the ore is pitifully scarce. There are only some dark things that we don't care about at all."

"When our clan exceeds 3000, I will station a tribe of 1000 people here. 200 dwarf warriors will guard the safety of the tribe around the clock, and the others will build the holy land of our dwarf clan here!"

The Dwarf patriarch's ambition seemed to ignite something special, and he began to search everywhere, wanting to find a place that was open and easy to build a camp, but not easily attacked.

"You can forge a brand new Nether Portal, and then rely on that Nether Portal to build a camp in the center of the Nether brick!" Zhou Ren reminded him.

If you want to settle down, the Nether Fortress is actually a very good area, but there are often countless monsters there, which will be refreshed continuously, so this monster-scarce wasteland, especially the center of the wasteland like a mountain, will be the best camp area.

After all, the monsters in the Nether don't attack ore and stone. They have no way to attack by digging through mountains, so the only thing the dwarves need to defend is the entrance and exit.

With the help of the portal, even the entrance and exit can be abandoned at any time. They only need to walk a distance to reopen a portal in a new place.

Most of the portals can even allow them to build their homes next to the portal in the main world, and then only transfer over when there is forging and mining demand, which can better ensure the safety of their race.

But the dwarves obviously have their own ideas, and Zhou Ren doesn't intend to interfere. After all, they have to bear their own losses, and the lord is only responsible for ensuring their food.

Soon, the skeletons responsible for mining came to report to Zhou Ren that they had found a very large cobalt and Adite ore vein next to them, and at the same time, there were batches of Zombie Pigmen wandering there.

"Zombie Pigmen are not a problem, Piglins are the problem!" Zhou Ren said to Jim, but he still got up very actively. The previous two times he came to the Nether were just superficial, and he didn't explore deeply. He hadn't even properly understood this brand new Nether, so of course he was still very interested.

Because this mine was not in the Nether Wasteland area, but in the Nether Forest that he knew very little about.

That's right, after several major version updates, this area full of flames and lava also has its own plants and ecology, and even has its own natives and some more strange things.

For example, this area might even have gold ore, but the piglins will attack you to prevent you from mining. Once they see you mining or opening chests, they will not hesitate to attack you.

Compared to the Nether, which initially only had wasteland and fortresses, it is now filled with various regional ecosystems. It has no day or night, but still has its own unique cyclical weather.

For example, the simplest is the red gas, as well as the lava and glowstone that permeate everywhere. Two huge mushroom forests ensure the growth of plants here, and also provide food for the creatures here.

Moreover, these fungal creatures, because they grow in the Nether, often have some very magical properties. The simplest property, of course, is fire resistance.

This fire resistance can be combined with the Tinker's Construct properties to create fire-resistant weapons and tools. Of course, it can also be directly loaded onto armor to create fire-resistant armor.

Soon he came to the area excavated by the skeletons. These skeletons each had a diamond pickaxe, and their mining speed was extremely fast.

A large amount of Nether rock and soul sand were taken back by them, as well as some quartz blocks and glowstone blocks, which were basically mined by Jim.

He took the Tinker's Construct pickaxe with Fortune, and through the special method of chain mining, he mined all the ores and prepared to take them back and slowly mine them with Fortune.

But now this is not the focus of Zhou Ren's attention. His eyes have already focused on a magical place. There he saw another thing, a huge cave filled with gray-black.

Blue flames flickered in the cave, and violent space was entwined in this area. Those gray-black objects revealed their true colors: soul sand.

"Is this the famous Soul Sand Valley?" Zhou Ren exclaimed. This is a place where not even a single monster exists, as if the monsters all understand the ominousness of this area.

Here, only gray-black soul sand and blue soul flames are intertwined, dazzling, and burning.

"This is not a simple MC world, this is the Abyss... So, in these soul flames, there are traces of real souls burning!" The large troops walked in here one after another, and Mosa, the expert of souls, also expressed his emotion.

"No wonder it is so dark and deep here. These are the traces left after the soul is burned!" Zhou Ren said with some emotion. He always felt that this place occupied ominousness, so he did not stay here for long and quickly left with the large troops.

After passing through the Soul Sand Valley, what appeared in front of him was not the Nether wasteland, but a strange fungus forest filled with red mist. The fire-resistant materials that were scarce in the upper world appeared here in patches. They could even see a strange creature swimming in the lava below.

It's just that the strange creature disappeared in a flash. When he stuck his head out again, there was only a short piece of lava left.

Fortunately, the Nether forest is never short of surprises. They had not even taken a short rest in this forest when they saw three hoglins. This is the most excellent source of meat in the Nether.

The three hoglins did not dare to attack because they saw a large number of people. Instead, they excitedly planed their hooves and rushed up, and then turned into piles of meat under the crossbows.

"Divide this place into a hunting ground!" Zhou Ren said. He seemed very excited about this scene. The crimson forest is not a source of meat? In the future, things like raising pigs will be too inconvenient. Let's directly spawn monsters and then get meat.

Along the way, they collected a lot of plants and mushrooms. Accompanied by the screams of the hoglins, they quickly passed through this area, and then saw the black cliffs in the distance.

From a distance, it looked like a cliff, but when you got closer, where was it? It was clearly a huge Nether Fortress composed of black stone bricks.

"Finally, it's not far away, the Nether Fortress!" Zhou Ren sighed. This is one of the destinations he came here for. Here he will be able to harvest some very special materials, such as blaze rods, magma cream, wither bones, wither skulls, and nether wart.

These things are necessary materials for making potions, and of course, some are specially used to summon the Wither.

As one of the most powerful and strangest creatures in the entire MC series, the Wither is definitely worthy of the name!

After all, it has many characteristics, such as three heads, such as the nature of self-explosion, can spew out a very powerful attack with explosive attributes, and the attribute of defending against ranged attacks after its health drops to half.

As one of the most powerful legendary creatures in this world, even in such a magical world, it is definitely a challenge.

Loading some characteristics about the MC world, its challenge level may be higher than some godspawn. At least ordinary legendary mages may find that many of their attacks are ineffective when facing the Wither, and they have to accept the bombing from the sky bomber.

Compared to the slow-moving ghast's attack, which can be described as ping-pong-like, the Wither is as fast as a badminton.

However, the drop rate of wither skulls is extremely low. Even with a weapon with Looting III, the drop rate of wither skulls should be less than 2%.

Zhou Ren didn't expect to get three wither skulls in one go anyway. He would just come over to hunt when he had the chance, and leave everything to fate.

Along with the built wooden ladder, a group of people gradually climbed up this black high wall. The second characteristic of the Nether Fortress is that almost all black buildings are solid. Only after running to the top and entering the upper layer of the fortress can you come to it and explore.

And once you come to the top of this fortress, you will not only encounter some ordinary monsters. There are zombie pigmen on it, and of course, more of the monsters that come with the fortress.

Some ghasts floating in the air have already started looking this way. These monsters, whose bodies are as huge as houses and have the reputation of Nether bombers, are the first hurdle that Zhou Ren and the others have to face.

The bombs they spew out are not very powerful, but they are enough to burn the surrounding space and send all of them to the sky by the way.

And some other burning monsters are also ready to go. They are the main target of this trip, the blaze, the dropper of brewing stand crafting materials.

Not to mention some skeleton archers holding bows and arrows, and the wither skeletons that are eager to try and slowly walk towards them. The number adds up to hundreds. The entire Nether Fortress seems to have been activated.
