The crowd reappeared between two trees on the mountainside to the north of Yicun, where Qu Mao and his troops rested and ate.

Qu Mao did not look at the harvest in his backpack immediately, but said to Su Buqing: "Su Buqing, count the battle losses." He turned to Su Yan and said: "Su Yan, check your backpack and the harvest of the auxiliary soldiers.

See what exploded?"

Su Yan was very fast, walked back and said to Qu Mao: "Sir, they are all made of low-grade materials, such as wolf teeth, dog teeth, dog skin, arrow feathers, bow strings, etc.; there are also some common production tools and daily life tools made of iron.

The backpacks of my subordinates can hardly fit in. For example, there are 70 kitchen knives, 98 machetes, and 30 pairs of worn-out boots..."

Qu Mao waved his hand to interrupt Su Yan, frowned and said, "Why are you picking up worn-out shoes? Throw them away quickly."

Ten minutes later, Su Buqing came over and said seriously: "Sir, a total of 28 Princess Guards soldiers were injured in this battle, including 18 minor injuries, 7 moderate injuries, and 3 serious injuries. Even if the seriously injured soldiers recover, they may not be able to continue.

Serving."

Qu Mao frowned and said, "Su Buqing, let's rest here for an hour.

You arrange a team of soldiers to send 28 injured warriors back to the Yicun territory, and at the same time replace the 28 third-level princess guards, and choose from the princess guards currently stationed in Yicun."

Su Buqing said: "Yes, sir!

Since you have one hour, please allow your subordinates to personally escort these wounded soldiers back to the Yicun territory, and at the same time replace them with new soldiers."

Qu Mao nodded and said, "Go ahead. Remember to send the wounded soldiers to the medical room as soon as possible and arrange treatment immediately.

If the Yicun medical room is not enough, Yicun garrison personnel can be asked to escort the lightly injured to the fishermen's village or even Minggang village for treatment."

"Yes! Sir!" Su Buqing turned around and went to make arrangements according to Qu Mao's instructions.

Qu Mao also looked at his backpack. Qu Mao also picked up some of the light balls floating in the air. Most of them were materials such as wolf fangs. The total number was actually as high as more than 1,000, which occupied two of Qu Mao's backpack slots.

.

Wolf fangs, dog fangs and the like can be used as arrow feathers, but they cannot be used as arrowheads for crossbow arrows. Therefore, Qu Mao felt that the benefits from conquering the folding space were not enough. Of course, this did not include two resource points and three

The value of a treasure chest, if included, would at least equal the value.

Su Yan came over and said: "Sir, one folding space will reduce our combat power by 28%. Do you think we should go back to Yicun to rest and re-evaluate the difficulty of conquering the folding space, or should we continue to explore?"

Qu Mao thought for a while and said: "After Su Buqing comes up with the new soldiers, we will continue to explore. We agreed to explore outside for three to five days, how could we rush back on the afternoon of the first day?

The consumption is a bit high, so we will be more cautious next time.”

Su Yan said hesitantly: "Sir, the soldiers have suffered a lot of damage, and it's not just a matter of consumption."

Qu Mao nodded and said: "I've been watching, I know, but we must continue to explore. Otherwise, with this efficiency, we don't know how long it will take to explore the entire Yi Island.

We must know that the resources purchased for the second time will be consumed sooner or later, which means that before we go to Yancheng in 5 months, we must explore all of Yi Island and build Yi Island to have enough self-protection capabilities.

The resource points, treasure chests, and even explosives in these folded spaces are the foundation of our development."

Su Yan nodded helplessly and said: "Yes, sir, I understand!

In about an hour, it will be completely dark. We still have to consider where to camp."

Qu Mao raised his head and glanced at the sky among the treetops, then glanced in the direction of Yi Cun.

When it was getting dark, Su Buqing returned to the main army with 28 princess guards, and Qu Mao called the troops to continue walking to the top of the mountain in the north.

After two or three hours of conquering a folding space, Yi Village's large army gained a lot of experience, especially the low-level citizens like Jia Sixie, whose levels were suddenly raised several levels in a row.

When the citizens are upgraded, there are no other benefits, but the attribute values ​​will be significantly improved, and at the very least, the health value will be increased a lot.

Qu Mao was riding on his horse, and while leading the team towards the top of the mountain, he encouraged everyone: "Don't think that you want to rest when it gets dark. We will definitely climb to the top of the mountain to rest tonight."

It’s only three kilometers away, everyone, cheer up, we’ll rest at the commanding heights of Yi Island tonight!”

With the experience of discovering the first folded space, the soldiers of the Princess Guards drew their sabers one after another along the way and kept stabbing into the air among the trees. Once they encountered a sense of sluggishness, they could identify the entrance to the folded space.

Unfortunately, after it completely darkened, Qu Mao and others did not find the second folding space even though they climbed the mountain to the north of Yi Island.

On the highest cliff facing the sea in the north, there is an open space of about 20 meters without any vegetation. Qu Mao had already discovered this situation when he first climbed here.

In the open space on this cliff, Qu Mao ordered the third-order princess guards to light 12 bonfires, take out the decomposed meat of the beasts hunted along the way, and arrange for everyone to gather around the bonfires to barbecue.

Of course, ten Princess Guard soldiers are arranged to guard the perimeter. These people will be on duty every hour to ensure that everyone can rest and that the temporary campsite is always guarded by princess guards.

Qu Mao was wrapped in an animal skin and lay on the stone on the top of the cliff, looking up at the dark sky above Yi Island and the occasional stars.

Su Yan was also wrapped in an animal skin, lying next to Qu Mao, looking sideways at Qu Mao.

Feeling Su Yan's gaze, Qu Mao turned around and glanced at Su Yan, and said: "Aren't you tired from the day's trek and fighting today? Get some rest early. We have to continue exploring this area tomorrow, but today's harvest There are two resource points, a backpack full of garbage, and 3 treasure chests, so I feel like the harvest is pretty good.”

Su Yan murmured: "Sir, there are 28 soldiers injured..."

Qu Mao rolled his eyes and said: "It's boring! No one wants to see a soldier injured, but it is true that a soldier is injured.

There is nothing we can do about this, let’s wait until later to find a way to get more powerful warriors.”

Su Yan asked: "Sir, your mysterious guards are extremely powerful. Can't you just use them?"

Qu Mao said dissatisfied: "Fool, I told you before that there are restrictions on the use of my bodyguard, and you cannot use it all the time..."

The two of them just chatted word by word, and gradually fell into sleep.
Chapter completed!
