Chapter 608 The Positioning of the Lord, the Value of the Poisonous Marsh【Seeking Monthly Pass】【5K】
Zong Shen has always kept a distance from other lords.
Neither did they actively participate in the [regional channel] like Medina and Jiang Yi did to establish social relations among the lords.
Neither did they rely on looting or use other lords to maintain their development, as Mitani Hideki and Wang Xuan did.
For Zong Shen, who has the Raiders module, robbing the lord is a less profitable behavior.
It can be said that throwing watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.
If you have the time to spare, you might as well dig a few more ruins.
Not to mention, even the mine has not been fully explored!
After all, his development progress has already left other lords several blocks behind.
Moreover, the lord system is more inclined to encourage cooperation between lords.
Don't look at the fact that the current lords are still not powerful, and even throw away their armor and armor in front of the little black dragon.
But this was because the lords fought far from their territories.
Moreover, the number of gathered lords did not reach the tolerance threshold of the little black dragon.
Each lord's territory has more or less guarded warriors and various defensive arrow towers.
This time the battle is not to mention the fullest effort.
Except for Zong Shen and Jiang Yi, other lords in the area had no idea that a powerful pure-blooded black dragon lived in the Poison Mist Swamp.
For most of the participating lords, their motivation for entering the Poison Swamp was to explore, treating the Poison Swamp as an ordinary dangerous place and underestimating its degree of danger.
This is what happens when information is missing.
Zong Shen didn't want to laugh at those lords, because he knew that not everyone could coordinate the overall situation from a "God's perspective" like himself.
If it wasn't for him, he would most likely be a mediocre lord in the vast crowd.
You can lose your life at any time due to an ill-advised exploration decision.
In addition, the previous challenge activities of the lord system also instill in the lords the relationship theory of "risk and benefit are proportional" all the time.
The corpses piled up at risk will forge the throne of the winners and the lucky ones.
In summary, the lords' desire for adventure and exploration will gradually increase.
Therefore, it cannot be said that these lords are willing to sacrifice their lives or are reckless. There are many reasons for everything.
Humans are also extremely complex creatures.
There are stupid, dull, honest, loyal.
There are also conservative and stubborn and bold and aggressive.
Even when they knew they were going to die, there were people who were willing to die generously for their ideals.
Some people are afraid of death, some people are not afraid of death.
Therefore, no behavioral template can be used to fully interpret and represent the human race.
Adventurers have no right to laugh at prudent ones.
Those who are wise and protect themselves are not qualified to say that those who die generously are stupid.
It's just a matter of personal choice and nature.
The reverse is also true.
It is the complexity of human nature and the diversity of personalities that make human beings have a wonderful social civilization.
Zong Shen agreed with this.
At the beginning of the second act, that is, before the arrival of the second batch of lords, he will strive to complete the integration of the regional lords, gather all the forces that can be used, and turn them into pieces to have the qualifications to be able to fight the aborigines.
A lord is like gravel, and a hundred lords are just a piece of yellow sand, so what about a thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, and a million?
And the lord has obvious growth like a dragon.
With the convenience and lord challenges provided by the lord system, all lords will gradually grow up.
Even the most conservative lord has more growth potential than the average native.
In other words, all lords are also a "resource".
As long as they are used properly, they can become Zongshen's best helper to dominate the continent.
In this case, looting and killing the lords would be a waste.
Regarding this point, since the appearance of the [Legion] function, many people in the area have discovered it.
This is the difference in personal vision and choice.
As a lord whose development progress is quite advanced, Zong Shen naturally understands this.
That's why he maintains a respectful attitude and does not interfere with the normal development and thinking evolution of the lords.
He just has to wait until the time is right to harvest.
This is the true meaning of gathering all available power.
The lord power and relationship is also a topic that cannot be avoided in the development.
Zong Shen always maintains a sense of crisis, no matter what, he must try to make the best strategy.
Only in this way can we meet the challenges that may arise in the future.
Including the "third act" that the mysterious lord Chen Rui said.
No matter what happens in the future, it’s right to be more prepared and mindful.
Thinking of this, he pouted, and stopped looking at the lords below.
Zong Shen immersed himself in the storage compartment, and quickly took out a pill.
It was the [Anti-Poison Pill (Blue)] that was obtained before, which was just equivalent to the third-order quality and could resist the invasion of poisonous mist.
The pale green mist above the entire Poison Mist Swamp has become thinner and thinner.
After losing the support of Xiaoshuizi, the toxicity of the poisonous mist has also been greatly weakened.
The poisonous mist here comes from the swamp environment transformed by the black dragon and some natural poisonous spells.
The two complement each other, so that the poisonous mist has reached the third-order and half-level toxicity.
Therefore, the anti-poison pill is enough to deal with the weakened version of the poison fog.
This place is not far from the Poison Swamp. After only two or three minutes, Xiao Heizi brought Zong Shen into the Poison Swamp.
The whole swamp is an irregular oval.
The longest ends are about fifteen or six kilometers long, and the widest ends are three or four kilometers long.
Part of it happens to be the ruins of the original Azshara city.
This relic is part of the ancient ruins. The Dragon Nest is built in the middle of the Poison Marsh, which is also the center of the ruins. Both "Relics" and "Dragon Nest" belong to the geographic information elements that will refresh the treasure chest.
Therefore, both Jiang Yi and the lords who entered the poisonous swamp will find traces of the treasure chest in the poisonous fog swamp.
And now, all of this will become Zong Shen's resources.
The Poison Mist Swamp is very quiet.
Just now, the lords and the Heilong's dependent army experienced a fierce battle.
Until the little black dragon woke up and started to kill, the lords fled.
And its original family members are not many.
There are less than 600 red-scale kobolds in total.
The number of Hyenamen who can tame the slough crocodile is even less than two hundred.
In the fierce battle, there are not one out of ten of these dependent tribes.
How much is left is still unknown.
Therefore, the Poison Mist Swamp has become a quiet place again.
Just as the center of the storm is not disturbed by high winds.
Blackie fell outside the dragon's nest.
It also allowed Zong Shen to see the whole picture of the Dragon Nest.
The dragon's nest here is even smaller than the abandoned dragon's nest on Huxin Island.
The whole is like a hemisphere.
It looks like a hollowed out hill, with a height of fifty or sixty meters and an inner diameter of about two hundred meters.
Enough for the little black dragon to perch and sleep soundly in it.
Even if it grows to its prime, it can still be accommodated here.
Outside the dragon's nest, there is a clear stream about zhang Xu gurgling.
The stream meanders through the Poison Marsh and continues towards the south.
There was mud everywhere in the poisonous swamp, and some dry and twisted trees stood.
Occasionally, a small black flower can be seen beside the swamp.
This is one of the specialties in the Poison Mist Swamp, the excellent quality [Black Marsh Flower].
is a special herb.
Some villagers in Dinan Village will collect [Black Marsh Flower] in the periphery of Poison Marsh.
In addition, there are other special herbs and specialties in the poisonous marsh.
For example, the giant catfish with eight whiskers living in the quagmire is very big, and you can often see large catfish weighing dozens or even hundreds of pounds.
This catfish feeds on humus in the silt.
Including various corpses, decaying leaves and even feces can become their food.
Even though they are so flavorful, the quality of these catfish remains unaffected.
Not only has less thorns and more flesh, but also after peeling off the black skin with fishy mucus, the fish meat of the catfish is as white and clear as garlic cloves, and there is no peculiar smell when cooking.
Even the sour rotten catfish that Xiaoheilong loves is marinated with eight whiskers.
This poisonous fog swamp existed before the arrival of the little black dragon, but the poisonous fog at that time only appeared in the morning and evening, and the poison was not so overbearing.
The size of the swamp is also not as big as it is now.
The village of Dinan already existed at that time, and often in the swamp, carefully avoiding the swamp crocodile and other ferocious beasts, catching catfish and picking various herbs.
Since the arrival of the little black dragon, this poisonous swamp has been shrouded in a thick green mist.
The villagers only dared to move in the periphery, and did not dare to go deep into it.
They also reported the situation here to Bosbon, but they did not pay attention.
As long as the village has not been slaughtered, there are often such reports in various villages.
The potential of this poisonous swamp is great, whether it is all kinds of medicinal materials or catfish, it is a natural resource.
After Zong Shen subdues Xiaoshuizi, he can completely encircle the poisonous marsh as a supplement to the farming and pastoral areas outside the territory.
In the vicinity of the dragon's nest, there are still large swathes of ruins.
The broken walls of these ruins are uneven, and the surface is covered with a layer of mud and moss.
Occasionally, huge tree trunks that have taken on a fossilized state can be seen.
Nine times out of ten, it was a large dryad in the great city of Azshara.
In addition to the ruins and the swamp itself, there are many corpses scattered around the dragon's nest.
The broken longsword and the falling arrow slanted into the ground.
Fragments of shattered armor dotted the ground.
In addition to a large number of human corpses, there are also the corpses of monsters such as hyena warriors, red-scaled kobolds, slough crocodiles, and rot worms.
All sorts of mucus and blood soaked the swamp.
There was a pungent stench in the air.
There is not only the rusty smell of human blood, but also the stench of monsters' body fluids and blood.
These corpses can also use [Soul Extraction Bottle (Orange)].
This task is currently in charge of Faved.
After the soul is extracted, it can be cremated directly online.
Allowing these corpses to be exposed to decay will not only be prone to diseases, but will also make the shadow energy and undead power converge, making this land gradually unsuitable for human life.
There was already a burial ground in this area.
It is the existence of the Boneyard that makes the number of villages in this vicinity far less than in other areas.
In fact, in some areas with a pleasant climate, the lords there can find a village every ten or twenty kilometers, and even a state or giant city is nearby.
The interaction between these lords and the natives would naturally be closer.
The progress of population movement and exchange of goods will also be higher.
Basically, each region has its own different environment, and these factors can affect the development speed and development habits of the lords.
This also gives variety to the lord's development.
Thinking of this, Zong Shen did not rush to check in the Dragon Nest.
Instead, he took out the communication crystal and contacted Gujart, who was in charge of collecting dragon scales and dragon blood.
At present, Favid is taking a team of charge knights to extract souls outside the Poison Swamp, and he should not be too far away from it, so Zong Shen asked Gujart to convey the order on his behalf.
Let Favid greet some more people, and while extracting the soul, gather the corpses together into a corpse pile, and collect some recyclable equipment.
Finally, it was cremated by Favid.
Maybe some of the injured can be found.
In addition to these corpses, it is more important to inherit those unclaimed territories.
He had to set off on this mission himself, bringing along the space mage Rhys Ulysses.
As long as the shadow wormhole is opened, the population can be quickly transferred and valuable buildings can be moved.
In this Poison Marsh Black Dragon turmoil, the number of dead lords was nearly 600, far more than the Balrog BOSS crusade. Even if some unowned territories were taken over by surrounding lords, the remaining unowned territories were still a huge number. , Zong Shen still has plenty of time to receive.
As for the task of exterminating the Little Flame Demon, it can only be handed over to the temporary combat team.
With [Unknown Strange Beast Egg (Unknown)], even if Zong Shen didn't take action himself, it wouldn't affect the progress of the extermination.
At that time, let Gujart ride the flying tiger and be responsible for wandering around, and use the eggs of the beast to "squeeze" the little flame demon.
After informing Gujart, Zong Shen jumped off the back of the little black dragon.
At this time, Xiaoheizi's face was unrequited, and the yellow eyes had lost their color.
Even if he thinks with his toes, he knows what Zong Shen wants to do.
Whether slaying a dragon or training a dragon, the treasures of the dragon's lair are part of these human loot.
Although Xiaoshuizi was very young, the treasure accumulated in the dragon's nest was not too much.
But it still hurts so much.
Giant dragons are generally greedy for money and lust, that is, metal dragons are somewhat restrained.
However, under the threat of life safety and the temptation of five-colored flowers, Little Blackie has somewhat accepted his fate.
I saw it closed its eyes, turned its head to one side, and let Zong Shen enter the dragon's nest.
Now Zong Shen is not in the mood to take into account Xiaoshuizi's emotions.
His expectations for the dragon's nest are not much smaller than the taming of the black handsome boy himself.
The dragon's nest is hemispherical, and the dome above shields it from the sun.
In addition, the mist on the poisonous swamp itself is a natural gauze, so it makes the dragon's nest look a little dark and damp, which is darker than the outside.
As soon as he stepped into the Dragon Nest, Zongshen discovered something that surprised him.
Not far away there was a bed made of dinars piled up.
This bed is like a cradle, occupying an area of one or two hundred square meters.
It seems to be bigger than the size of the little black dragon.
There are obvious depression marks in the middle of the dinar bed, and the highest edge is about one meter off the ground.
The surface of these dinars is covered with some mud and grease.
There are large and small, with different denominations.
Apparently they were all plundered by Little Blackie from everywhere.
Don't look at the number of dinars here, but it's unclear how many Zongshen there are.
After all, the denominations are different. If they are all 100 dinars, then there is definitely a huge amount of wealth here, but it may be possible now.
But in any case, these dinars will become Zongshen's wealth.
He quickly stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, and took advantage of the lord's quick storage, and began to pocket the dinars.
The dinars collected by the lord will be directly converted into the balance of dinars regardless of the denomination.
It can be converted to any existing denomination when you want to withdraw.
This is a handy feature, like the dinar itself is a currency for lords.
Even if he could collect it quickly, it took Zong Shen four or five minutes to collect all the thick layers of dinars.
At this time, some gems and precious ores mixed in the dinar also fell.
From the dragon's nest, Zong Shen received a total of 4,274,589 dinars.
His dinar balance thus became 5,853,135 dinars, in addition to the 500,000 dinars that Mr. Mars kept with him for interest.
Zong Shen's wealth level has skyrocketed.
The worth of a little black dragon is equivalent to four times the wealth left by the grandfather and father of Mars.
But this is also normal. Although the little black dragon has not yet entered adulthood, its strength is enough to wantonly in Bangcheng.
Just robbing a few large caravans or the treasuries of business groups is enough to enrich the treasures of the Dragon Nest.
Anyway, it has wings, and it can run away after robbery. As long as it lives in a secluded place, who knows where it lives?
With this batch of dinars, Zong Shen can be considered to have completed the primitive accumulation of capital.
With these wealth, he can let Howie quickly form a large caravan belonging to the territory when necessary, and can also purchase a large amount of materials in major cities.
He was even eligible to participate in the fairs among the natives.
The power of the dinar enabled him to communicate with the aborigines in a simpler and cruder way.
Capital intervention is often more effective than force intervention.
In addition, there were 3271 gems left on the ground, one-third of which were magic gems of various ranks, and the rest were ordinary gems of good quality.
There are also 2172 Mithril, 816 Adamantite, 27 Rare Shadow Stones, 88 Advanced Magic Crystals, 217 Intermediate Magic Crystals, 872 Primary Magic Crystals, 8 Advanced Necromancer Runes, and Advanced Wood Talismans. There are 9 inscriptions, 12 high-grade earth runes, and 6 high-grade poison beads with luscious green surfaces.
These things are all mixed up with dinars.
Perhaps because there is no gem mine nearby, the gem inventory of the little black dragon is not as good as that of the Griffin Nest, but Zong Shen is already very satisfied with this!
