Chapter 140 Exploration Obstructed

The Heiman 375 courtyard is very large, and the Goblin Kingdom in it also covers a large area.

Even the B31 area in the Goblin Kingdom, which covers an area of ​​30,000 to 40,000 square kilometers, is not very intuitive to say, but you have to know that the land area of ​​countries such as New Zealand and Denmark in the previous life is no more than that.

In a relatively primitive natural environment, the B31 area brings people a vastness far beyond the observation data.

The exploration mission is not to go straight to the destination, nor is it a simple matter of fighting with monsters and then finishing the work.

Mu Hua and others who entered the B31 area are like a drop in the ocean, just like the area of ​​a small country, it is impossible to complete the exploration in a short time.

If we put aside the threat of monsters to the human world, in fact, human adventurers are more like a group of colonists. Exploring the courtyard is more or less the nature of developing colonies for humans.

Of course, if humans do not come to the courtyard to cause trouble, monsters will almost certainly leave the courtyard to cause trouble for humans, so the colonization can only be regarded as a description.

Find a route suitable for land travel in the area.

Clear the monsters near the route.

Mark the safe route.

Mark the possible magic traps on the land and in the sky on the safe route.

Combined with the video recording and evidence collection, these are basically the main contents of the exploration mission that Taibesha accepted.

The reward for the exploration mission in the B31 area is calculated based on the kilometers of the effective route. The ultimate goal of the mission is to plan a ground safe route that passes through the B31 area.

Human exploration of the courtyard is not a joke, and it is far from being as simple as fighting and killing.

In essence, it involves resource acquisition, money, land occupation, population reproduction and other aspects of development to ensure that humans can continue to fight against monsters.

It was nearly dusk, and in a day of bumps and bruises, seven battles with hundreds of individuals broke out between Mu Hua and others and monsters.

After all, it is the Goblin Kingdom, and the monsters encountered in these battles are mainly goblins of all levels.

There was no danger in the battle, but after going around in circles, Mu Hua and others’ exploration efficiency of the B31 area was not high.

On the originally planned route, they encountered a two-tailed scorpion, and when they changed the route, they encountered a nest of armored horned pigs.

Magical beasts usually define their own living areas. For those with more ferocious temperaments, entering their territory will be attacked by them.

Both the two-tailed scorpion and the armored horned pig are very aggressive monsters, and they can run and fight, and their personalities are also cunning.

Mu Hua and others could not kill them for a while, so they had to change the exploration route twice after necessary marking.

As a result, after a day of raven reconnaissance and radar scanning, Mu Hua and his party only found a safe route with a straight line distance of more than 40 kilometers in the B31 area.

There was no way. Although the two-tailed scorpion and the armored horned pig were level 4 or 5 monsters, Mu Hua could try to fight the ogre cave, but he did not dare to compete with these two monsters easily, especially when Gravizi and others were traveling together.

The two-tailed scorpion is a giant scorpion with a body length of more than seven meters. Its own attack mode is relatively simple, with claws and tail stings. If you fight head-on, be careful, even Mu Hua, who is not good at physical skills, can deal with it.

But the two-tailed scorpion is good at earth magic, and has a strong ability to burrow into the ground. There are also a lot of poisonous bees living on these guys.

The stings of these poisonous bees can ignore defensive magic and can be ejected from the body. Although these stings are not fatal, they will make people feel miserable. It can be said to be a "harmonious" attack that makes other creatures want to die but can't.

Originally, Mu Hua actually wanted to use the skeleton undead to fight the two-tailed scorpion, but the two-tailed scorpion was very cunning and burrowed into the ground as soon as it saw the black-armored skeleton general.

No one had a way to restrain the two-tailed scorpion from burrowing into the ground. Taibesha directly noted the existence of the two-tailed scorpion on the map and drove the chariot to change the route.

The armored horned pigs are also large in size, with an adult shoulder height of four meters. The surface of the body is covered with a mixture of sand, rock and plant fiber, and the thickness of the armor can reach 40 centimeters.

The armored horned pigs are large in size, with short legs and low chassis. They attack like wild boars, with great strength, high defense and strong vitality. When they encounter strong enemies, they will run around and rush around fiercely.

They are group-living monsters. Because there are too many of them, Mu Hua and others lack the means to kill them quickly, so it is difficult to fight them. In a short period of time, it is difficult for Mu Hua and others to annihilate them. After marking their general range of activities, Taibesha changed the route again.

Along the way, she took out her anger on several groups of goblins who were like car bandits and road bullies, and the combat benefits were not bad.

Probably because they were deep in the Goblin Kingdom, many goblins here would have weapons.

In addition to the regular magic stones, they mainly dropped some magic iron, mithril, gems and other resources.

There is no need to say much about magic iron and mithril, they are the materials used to make human currency.

The gems dropped by low-level monsters are mostly beautiful jewelry, not magic gems.

Those gems are not very useful except for being beautiful.

The reason why monsters can use these decorative gems as sacrificial items for projection is because these things have value on the human side.

To put it bluntly, the sacrificial items that need to be prepared when the monsters in the courtyard project are not necessarily all magic items.

Some things that have no value to monsters, but humans like them, humans have needs, and the human group determines that they are valuable, then they can be used as sacrificial items.

As for what the specific value is? Well, you can find a ten-carat diamond and ask the girls to try.

In addition to equipment ores, monsters will also drop some biological body tissues.

For example, monster teeth and claws are necessary materials for humans to make exorcism bullets. The warheads of exorcism bullets often need to integrate the monster's body tissues into the magic metal to achieve the penetration effect on the monster's body.

For example, some leather, leather scrolls, and sometimes even projection monsters will drop magic cores.

These are of course not parts of the projection monsters themselves, but they kill other monsters in hell and leave those valuable parts as sacrificial items.

The drops of projected monsters are strange and bizarre. Most of the magic cores and monster body tissues used by humans to make magic items are not directly taken from the monsters that descended from the main body, but the sacrificial items dropped by the projected monsters with higher combat power in the courtyard.

Very discordant rules, it is not difficult to see the chaos and cruelty of hell.

"Boss, today's harvest is not small." The chariot covered with branches was hidden behind a rock. Gravizi and his men were lying on the roof of the car. Mark said to Gravizi.

The goblin camp appeared again on the scheduled route, but this time it was not like the scattered goblins earlier.

Raven discovered during the reconnaissance that this goblin camp had built fortifications similar to city walls.

Gravizi and his men stayed here, and Mu Hua and Taibesha went to the camp to explore the specific situation.

"A lot, if everything is dealt with, there will be about 40 to 50 million credit points." Gravizi calculated.

"It's only been one day, and we can share 8 million, and most importantly, there is no consumption." Devin sighed.

"This brother and sister are really amazing. Forty black-armored skeleton generals, I think they will not lose money if they are equipped with some high-end ammunition, and they may make more money."

"Boss, Taibesha seems to want to invite us to join the group. Do you want to consider it? Take advantage of the time to get some seniority. The strategy group has many people and many things, and it may not make more money than now." Kaili said on the side.

After a day, the small group of Gravizi had a much better understanding of Mu Hua and Taibesha, and some of them also had some small ideas.

However, Gravizi did not think too much about Kaili's suggestion, and shook his head and disagreed.

"It's okay to cooperate on a few missions, but joining the group is not suitable. I'm afraid we can't keep up with their pace."

"Besides, the strategy group is safer after all." Gravizi said.

"That's why they have to be experienced. With their talent, it's only a matter of time before they recruit people. No matter how strong they are, they can't withstand high-intensity battles without sufficient personnel." Kaili retorted.

"Hehe, Kaili, forget it, listen to the boss. We are not from the same world as them." Mark said with a smile, and Kaili and others were puzzled.

"I don't care about the combat power of Mu Hua and Tai Besha. The key is that they come from good families. Maybe they are nobles."

"Huh? What's wrong with nobles? This is a courtyard, the world of adventurers. Mu Hua and Tai Besha are both adventurers."

Kaili frowned. Although Pine and Devin didn't say anything, their expressions also agreed.

"No, you don't understand. I have seen many young ladies and young masters from powerful families. They have a happy life and are very romantic." Mark changed his posture and lay on his back on the roof of the car.

This time, even Gravizi was a little confused. He didn't know what Mark was talking about, and why he was talking about happiness and romance.

"The nobles in the human world are not like the nobles in the Courtyard Kingdom. They can get endless wealth just by talking."

"They also have more time to think about communication, life, human nature and other messy things." Mark said with a little sarcasm on his lips.

"Although there are Coke and beer in the carriage, I also saw tea from the Principality of Jura Jacques."

"That thing, all our gains today, I'm afraid we can't exchange it for two taels. I'm afraid only the nobles among the residents will buy this kind of luxury that has no use except for the taste."

"Hey, Mark, what do you want to say? Is it a problem for the captain to have money?" Pine was confused and a little impatient.

"No, it's not about being rich, but the brains of the rich and powerful are all wrong."

"Do you believe it? In front of them, what you do is actually not important. They will like you because of a casual word you say, or they may hate you because of a casual word you say."

"Especially those young ladies and young masters, they are quite neurotic."

"They have countless strange rules, laws, and standards for judging people in their heads. So I say they are very romantic, a group of neurotics who don't have to worry about life and are full of romanticism."

"Kerry's so-called seniority is useless to them."

"If you can't show enough value, you may be hated by them before you figure out the situation."

"They always try to figure out some inexplicable things, maybe a sentence, maybe an action, or maybe an eye expression."

"Of course, if you are lucky and say something that resonates with them when they need comfort, maybe they will love you to death?"

"In general, the young ladies and young masters of the powerful families are more neurotic. I think they are just idle. Don't think you can be comfortable with those young people. It's quite troublesome." Mark said while holding a weed.

"Uh, not really, are you saying that Mu and Tabetha are also like this? I think you get along well with them." Kairi asked doubtfully.

"Judging from the fighting power they have shown at this age, they should not be so idle at ordinary times. I think they are much better than those I have seen."

"But who knows what will happen if they get along for a long time? I still agree with the boss's statement. There is no need to rush to join the group if there are opportunities to cooperate more times."

"The most important thing is that we really can't keep up with their pace. It is impossible for them to cooperate with us. Some dangers that they can withstand, we can lie dead in a minute." Mark said casually, and several people fell into silence.

"Okay, let's stop this topic. Mark, contact Tabesha and ask them what's going on now." After a moment of silence, Gravizi interrupted the silent atmosphere.

Although I don't know whether Mark's words were intentional or unintentional, Gravizi found that Mark's rhetoric was quite effective for Kerry and others, at least more effective than simply saying that they couldn't keep up with Mu Hua's pace. The impetuous people earlier obviously calmed down a lot at this time.

Gravizi didn't pay much attention to Mark's nonsense. Mark had seen a lot of powerful people. Gravizi was still worried that he couldn't deal with the intensity of Mu Hua's demon hunting.

Kaili and the others may not be afraid of danger, but they can't stand the situation where they have to be careful about every word and every expression. Isn't that like living like a slave?

If they live like this, do you think that kind of person can hunt demons? Come on, with this kind of character, wouldn't they just turn into demons when they encounter a little danger?

Kaili and others were a little skeptical about Mark's statement; how much sense of security must a boss who dares to guide his subordinates to this kind of mentality have to dare to do so?

While everyone was thinking about their own things, Mark called up the terminal to contact Taibesha. After a while, a rough wooden wall mixed with earth and stone appeared on the projection screen.

Along with the picture that seemed to be specially shown to them, Taibesha's somewhat helpless voice came from the projection screen.

"Prepare to retreat, there are many elite goblins here. If we don't have siege means, they won't come out, and we can't bite here."
