After learning the Iron Wall skill, Zong Shen studied the magic crystal and the cooking book.

[Each person can only master the corresponding recipe once through reading]
(Advanced cooking book, a must-have for chefs)
Zong Shen checked the properties of the two props and put them away. This magic crystal can be used to cover up the traces of the mine and reduce the risk of accidents.
As for this "Cooking Manual", it can be stored as a book reserve to train a professional chef for the territory in the future.
After handling all the rewards from the silver treasure chest, Zong Shen disassembled the treasure chest and after confirming that there were no missing items in the entire secret room, he left the secret room.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. He had to complete the exploration of the mining area on the left as soon as possible and return to the territory before dark for a new round of construction and deployment. At the same time, he also needed to rest to speed up the recovery of his wounds.
Now he is unable to exert his full strength due to the injury under his ribs, which seriously affects his exploration plan in the next day or two.
Recovering from injuries as soon as possible will allow everything to return to normal as soon as possible.
Especially in terms of exploration, Zong Shen has unique advantages and cannot let heroes replace him.
Because he has a strategy module, he can adjust his plan more timely and flexibly at any time to obtain maximum benefits. Even in the face of sudden changes in some situations, he can calmly deal with it.
It is not so convenient for heroes to go on an expedition. Even if Zong Shen has formulated a strategy in advance, there is no guarantee that things will not change. After all, the external situation is really changing rapidly.
After dealing with the things in the secret room of the mine, Zong Shen left the secret room directly and took the soldiers to the refining workshop to look for traces of the kobold tribe.
Those kobolds were hunted by spider web monsters, and they must have suffered heavy losses now. What Zong Shen has to do is to take over the scattered kobolds. He can collect as many as he can. If he wants to develop the mine, the more labor the better. Just this
Each mining area requires at least hundreds of miners. To operate all four mining areas, at least two to three thousand laborers are needed.
This will be a huge population reserve project and requires early planning.
Return to the large mining tunnel in the mining area on the left, and move forward toward the end of the large mining tunnel.
Under the light of several [Magic Flashlights], we can see that some ruins and damaged mining magic puppets have begun to appear in front of the large mine tunnel, as well as a broken mine track. From these ruins, we can see some of the past.
The situation during the mining boom.
Continuing forward, there are more and more ruins along the way. There are many damaged and decayed remains of magic puppets lying on both sides of the mine tunnel. They are all wrapped in thick mud, and only a rough shape can be seen.
The deeper you go along the large mine tunnel, the more you can smell a foul smell.
There was the smell of defecation, rotting flesh and blood, and a dull sour smell.
Mountains of corpses began to appear on both sides of the mine tunnel, including many of the spider-web monsters. It was obvious that the battle between the kobolds and the spider-web monsters in the mines was no longer a matter of a day or two.
Although kobolds are generally weak, they can form a certain combat effectiveness when gathered together.
After traveling for several hundred meters, we could finally see the shadow of the refining workshop at the end of the light.
Some kobolds also discovered Zong Shen, started barking "wow", and gathered in groups, including some kobold prophets and spellcasters holding wooden staffs.
They gathered in hundreds of numbers and began to rush towards Zong Shen and the others. This was their last home. Most of the surviving kobolds stayed here, and some were lost in the mines.
Zong Shen simply stood where he was, no longer moving forward, but waiting for their approach.
This group of kobolds came to the front of the mine tunnel to confront Zong Shen.
However, when they saw that the visitors were a group of humans, the tense atmosphere eased a lot.
Although humans are not a good thing to them, they are still much better than those spider web monsters.
At least there is no option for kobolds in the human menu.
But those spider web monsters are different. They eat kobolds every time. Each spider web monster's hunting will always cover a radius of more than ten kilometers and hunt a large number of animals, of which kobolds account for about 20%.
Of course, kobolds also eat the meat of spider web monsters, but because of the unequal combat power, the exchange ratio in the battle between kobolds and spider web monsters is also unequal.
Several kobold prophets came out of the team and looked at Zong Shen very warily.
"Ahead...is our clan's territory..."
"Please stop!"
Their tone was a bit tough, perhaps because they had just experienced a genocide war, and these guys were very resistant to Zong Shen's arrival.
Zong Shen just smiled slightly when he heard this, waved his hand gently, and the soldiers behind him began to move forward.
The dragon-turned-gun-shield warrior walked in the front row holding a huge shield, pointing the spear in his hand forward, and kept pushing forward.
The kobolds screamed in fear, and were in disarray before the fight began. They were squeezing and trampling each other, trying to retreat.
Zong Shen waved his hand again, and all the soldiers stopped. Killing and attacking were all carried out by Zong Shen's thought. There will be a response to an order. This is power.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Let your chiefs come to see me."
"Otherwise I will crush your tribe."
Zong Shen said bluntly, without hiding his thoughts at all.
For any alien race, threats are much easier to use than Huairou, and they are also much more direct.
He wouldn't show affection or reason to these kobolds, that is, he would take off his pants and fart.
The most important thing is to lure them back to their territory in a frightened manner.
After Zong Shen made his request to see their chief, the kobold prophets hesitated.
Because their chief was seriously injured in the previous battle, although he did not lose his life, he could be considered to have completely lost his ability to fight until the injury was healed.
Zong Shen would not give them a chance to hesitate. He raised his arms again, which was a sign of giving an order. Those kobolds felt a sense of oppression of impending disaster.
"Sir, please be patient..."
At this time, a clear voice appeared, and the tone of the speech was very similar to that of humans.
The team of kobolds began to spontaneously disperse to both sides, and a taller kobold with a mace behind him came out with support.
Both in height and size, he is much larger than the average kobold.
Its face, which is covered with fine scales, is painted with some patterns using oil paint, making it look very primitive.
"Sir, I am the chief here."
"You can tell me if you have anything to say."
It looked a little weak and needed the support of two kobolds to stand and walk, but its eyes still had light.
Obviously, this guy is not simple either. Kobolds are weak, but being able to rule a tribe is still a strong one among the kobolds.
"My territory needs manpower, and I need your participation."
"Let us build a great and equal realm together."
"As long as you work every day, your life will not be in danger. I will give you the same rights and equal treatment as human beings. In addition, my soldiers and I will ensure your safety."
"And what I need you to do is very simple. It's just mining. As far as I know, mining is also one of your hobbies."
Zong Shen said straight to the point, his tone was very straightforward, but with an inexplicable sincerity.
The kobold chief thought about it, unable to determine the authenticity of Zong Shen's words, whether he wanted them to become territorial citizens with equal status or to become slaves without status and dignity.
"How can I trust your words?"
"You have to do something to prove the credibility of what you say."
"Our tribe has been in big trouble recently. There is a group of spider web monsters in the mine that are hunting us crazily and trying to perform some kind of evil ritual."
"If you can..."
Before the kobold chief finished speaking, Zong Shen turned his hand and took out the calamity war spear, grabbed the pestle with one hand and slammed it in front of it.
After the addition of [Terokkar's Furious Bear Armor], he was able to pick up a heavy war spear with one hand.
Sure enough, as soon as the war spear came out, the kobold chief was shocked.
"This...this is that guy Leopold's spear!"
"It was you...did you kill that guy?
It said in great shock, Spider Web Monster Lord Leopold is definitely the nightmare of these kobolds!
What's more, this mining area is definitely the overlord, and its strength far exceeds that of the kobolds.
Zong Shen nodded slightly and nodded lightly.
"I have killed more than half of the spider web monster group, and now they are all in disarray."
"The three queens of spider web monsters and the spider web monster lords have all been eliminated by me."
After hearing Zong Shen's words and seeing the huge standing war spear, the kobold chief's eyes suddenly changed.
It made some kind of decision at this moment and pushed away the kobold who was supporting it.
He knelt on one trembling knee in front of Zong Shen.
"Great lord, I and my people will be loyal to you!"
"Please be kind to us!"
[Kobold Chief Dutra requests to join your territory]
【Accept】【Reject】
Looking at the prompt in front of him, Zong Shen nodded with satisfaction and chose to accept it.
"Very well, your decision was a wise one!"
"Follow me and you will all be glorious!"
