Lu Yao returned to the temple and asked about Pu Xi and Zhi Chong.
Butterfort said: "Lord God, the Intelligent Insect and the Black-Hearted Duke have cooperated in the past. When the Duke sent someone to contact the Intelligent Insect, it did not inform us immediately."
"It contacted the Duke for about a year before informing Mayor Botu of the matter. The reason for the Intellectual Bug's delay was that it said it needed to further observe the Duke's movements to determine their true intentions and avoid alerting the enemy."
"This is also the reason why I have some doubts about it, so in this frontline battle, I asked the Intelligent Insects to participate to prove my loyalty."
King Yan continued: "There are people from various forces on the fifth level mixed into Sifang City. This is something we have always known. Considering that it is cumbersome and laborious to check these people one by one, it will also affect the homeless and extraordinary people who really want to migrate here.
Therefore, we chose to be tight on the outside and tight on the inside, and specifically track the key suspicious persons."
"If we can make good use of it, these spies from all the forces on the fifth level and the scattered cross-border people will help the Quartet to carry out propaganda on the fifth level and further absorb the population of all parties on the fifth level."
Lu Yao thinks there is nothing wrong with this idea.
The Sifang countries do not resort to seclusion, and the display of comprehensive strength is also a deterrent.
Due to the regional environmental differences in the abyss, the planting and animal husbandry on the fourth level cannot be copied to the fifth level. This also makes the food of the Sifang Kingdom a dominant industry for long-term export.
"This strategy ultimately proved successful."
The mountain golem said proudly: "The population of the Sifang Kingdom continues to grow, and the vast majority of them are immigrants. They heard about the development of the Sifang Kingdom on the fifth floor, came through the crack out of curiosity, and then chose to settle down for a long time.
.”
"According to the natural reproduction of the Sifang Kingdom, the population growth is very slow. The fertility rate of extraordinary people is generally low. The largest proportion of the fifth-level population is ordinary people such as abyss nomads."
"The homeless people near the crack passage on the fifth floor have come to the Sifang Kingdom one after another. What hinders the further growth of the population of the Sifang Kingdom is the restriction of the region itself. Because there is a mage tower on one side of the crack, and Chicken King Dalia and Bone King Nidia on the other side.
These demigods who own territories will also rob the population, making it difficult for homeless people to escape from their territories..."
"I'm sorry, sir, when it comes to government affairs, it involves far-reaching things, but it won't do if we don't talk about it."
King Rock brought the topic back: "The Black-Hearted Duke Stoker wants to understand the current true strength of the Sifang Kingdom through the Intelligent Insects, and also determine the attitude of the Intelligent Insects themselves."
"Both of these points, the Intellectual Insect has also clearly told the other party that it is your follower and a member of the Sifang Kingdom. However, Stoker does not seem to believe it. He suspects that the Intelligent Insect may be Noland's internal agent...
"
Lu Yaoxin said that this suspicion is normal.
Intelligent Insect and Noland are also old acquaintances.
Speaking of which, Intelligent Insects are really good at managing interpersonal relationships.
Although he is a member of the Cursed Insect, all forces give him more face.
"Later, Stoke got into trouble in Puxi. To be precise, the golden plate ritual in Puxi had the greatest impact on Stoke, because among the three demigod lords on the fifth floor, only Stoke was extremely dependent on him.
Export goods to obtain resource supplies."
Stoke's predicament must start with the wonders of the second hall and the blue.
This wonder has two halls: the public hall and the dining hall.
The hall is a place where monks gather to practice. The Garan monks here will meditate in their respective positions and understand the practice from the Garan protector statue.
The dining hall is a place where monks donate food to outsiders. It is said to be a dining hall, but more like a charity hall for outsiders.
These two places had to operate non-stop, Stoker had to give alms every day, and he had to try to recruit more people to become monks and meditate.
In order to distribute more food, Stoker always added grass roots, leaves and sand to the food he gave. Later, in order to achieve better results, he ground all the food with these ingredients into powder and cooked it.
Rich soup.
In addition to the abyss wanderers, the recipients of alms also included various wild animals, including many extraordinary creatures. When they were hungry, they could only hold their noses and drink the canteen soup.
The nickname of the Black-Hearted Duke of Stoke also partly comes from this.
However, putting in all your efforts to maintain Ertang Jialan will pay off.
This spectacle can summon the powerful Garlan protector to join the battle, and also allows the monks to condense the Almighty Stone through meditation and practice. After the monks die, they will be cremated, and the Almighty Stone will precipitate from the corpses.
"...But this is just Stoker's external statement. Calculated based on the number of monks' deaths, it is simply not enough to support the large-scale sales of Almighty Stones. Ertang Jialan must have other ways to produce or collect Almighty Stones."
King Yan paused for a moment: "According to the information obtained by Sifang Kingdom, the number of Jialan monks in Ertang Jialan is about 2,000."
"To become a monk, you must complete the practice of meditation day after day and participate in giving alms. Most people cannot endure this ascetic life for a long time. Monks must be consistent in their words and deeds. If they cannot persist, they will not be able to endure it."
Eventually the name of the monk will disappear."
"The total population of the Stoke territory is around 100,000, of which at least 50,000 are serving Ertang Jialan, participating in trade exchanges with the outside world, and looking for monk candidates."
Lu Yao understood.
In order to maintain the operation of Ertang Jialan, the black-hearted Duke Stoker not only had to trick people into becoming monks, he also had to stabilize the monk team and consider the issue of charity in the canteen.
It can only be said that he has mastered a miracle that has a high upper limit but is extremely difficult to operate.
The demigod Puxi led the gold plate merchants to commit fraud everywhere, causing great damage to the trade ecology of the fifth layer of the abyss. The demigods, who could not even talk about mutual trust, further tightened trade, which was a big deal for Stork, who needed to import a large amount of food.
It's a major blow.
Hence, the scene where he sent businessman Piz to discuss with the intelligent insects.
Stoker hopes to reach official cooperation with the Quartet countries as soon as possible to obtain stable food import supplies and further crack down on fraud in Puxi.

Most of the ghosts and ghosts in Puxi are represented by merchants from the Golden Plate Ceremony, but it is difficult to pinpoint their location.
Unfortunately, there is no such number one person in the World Encyclopedia, and there is no way to check it out.
Just when Lu Yao was worried, Noland, who had just joined the team, volunteered.
"Lord God, I have a way to find Puxi."
Apostle No. 11 said: "In my spell bag, there is a high-level spell called object tracking. I can find him by using this golden dice that I have never touched since I bought it from Puxi."
Traces of.”
The masked koala showed a hint of pride on his face: "Originally, I wanted to punish this guy at the critical moment, but now it can come in handy."
Lu Yao asked him to do it faster.
The only problem is that the spells that Noland takes out of his spell bag are random.
It summarizes some practical tips for specific use, such as adjusting the mana consumption to filter out the spell level.
For example, if Noland only wants to cast a simple light spell, he only needs to invest 10 mana points. It is randomly selected from a series of low-level spells, and the probability of pulling out the light spell will be higher.
In other words, as long as you have taken out a spell before, you will know its mana cost. Next time you adjust your mana, the possibility of taking out the same spell will greatly increase.
"Object Tracking" is a high-level spell, so the mana cost is adjusted to about 850."
The koala said as he put his paws into the bag on his belly.
It selected and picked out a ball of light.
The ball of light suddenly bloomed and turned into many pink bubbles, covering almost half of the temple.
Small fairies with slender bodies flew out from between the bubbles. It was difficult to tell whether they were male or female, but they were all handsome. These fairies sang light songs, danced around the koala, and rubbed its ears and shoulders.
Lu Yao saw an entry appearing behind Noland's Spell Bag.
…
Goblin Village: Summon a group of legendary goblins, let them stay here for a short time, and dedicate their singing, dancing, flattery and praise to the user.
…
Summon a fairy idol group?
Lu Yao looked at the koala with suspicion.
What kind of magic does this guy usually study? The God of Darkness commented that Noland was not doing his job properly. Lu Yao initially thought it was a disagreement on the training route, but now he was a little suspicious.
"Listen to my explanation...this is purely a mistake, a mistake."
The koala wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his paw: "It's a random problem with the spell bag."
It waved its claws, and the surrounding pink bubbles immediately dissipated.
Noland put his claws into his pocket again.
It grabbed the second ball of light.
The ball of light burst, and countless lightning burst out from it. Noland quickly grabbed it and threw it into the air, then lay down on the ground...
After experiencing uncontrollable spells such as burning fire, flooding mountains with water, and spreading poisonous mist, Noland, who was looking embarrassed, finally grabbed a scroll from the ball of light.
"This is it!"
The koala said excitedly: "Lord God, this is it. Please wait a moment and I will mark Puxi for you to find it."
It carefully took out a crystal box and threw the golden dice inside on the scroll.
A picture slowly appeared on the scroll.
On the screen, there is a traveler holding a long pole.
His body was completely covered by a robe, and his face wore a brass mask. His exposed arms and legs were also covered with brass armor. He was carrying a backpack that was larger than a human being. The golden disc shone with metal behind the backpack.
luster.
He was at the entrance of a forest, talking to a homeless person passing by.
"This is...Duel Forest."
Noland recognized it at a glance: "It turns out that this guy went there to deceive people. Recently, Hu Yizi's cavalry is attacking a demigod over there, and Puxi always appears in turbulent places."
Lu Yao suddenly noticed that Puxi opened his hand to the homeless man and raised his brass index finger to point to the sky.
The homeless man suddenly raised his head and looked at the golden disk floating above his head. His eyes were coated with a layer of gold, and then returned to normal.
At this time, a very satisfied smile appeared on the homeless man's face. He kissed Pu Xi's metal hand, as if he was making an oath, and his eyes became fanatical and sick.
Noland said: "Lord God, this is the Golden Plate Ceremony. Puxi used seduction and deception to make many homeless people become his gold plate merchants... These gold plate merchants usually look normal, and they only perform gold plate ceremonies."
Madness is shown only during rituals.”
Lu Yao could feel that time was getting shorter and shorter.
This cancer must be dealt with as soon as possible while the body is still functioning.
…
The Duel Forest is located in the southeast corner of the fifth floor, adjacent to the Mage Tower to the west, and to the north is the territory of Hu Yizi.
Fortunately, Noland used a specific spell to build a portal, which was enough to traverse a large area of territory in a short time and reach the outskirts of the forest.
Lu Yao stood not far from this spectacle.
It is said to be a forest, but it is actually a bunch of low trees that are less than a person tall.
They cling tightly to each other, and the texture of the leaves and trunks is close to plastic, giving them a sense of self-righteousness and falseness, just like some kind of garden scenery.
Lu Yao was not surprised. The Duel Forest is also part of the Miniature Empire, and the inherited Mage Tower is a reduced model, so the style here remains the same.
The Duel Forest is one of the four wonders on the fifth level. Although it is occupied by the worms, anyone can use the ability of this wonder: a showdown of life and death.
If two or more people walk into the duel forest together, they will get lost and wander in it. Only one person left alive can find the way out of the forest.
Lu Yao stared at the plastic forest ahead.
…
Duel Forest]:
A forest that was originally used for duels has been shrunk for unknown reasons and attached with a special curse. Those who enter the forest will also be shrunk simultaneously and receive a mark reminder. If they cannot complete the duel, they will never be able to leave.
Duel Curse]
Anyone who enters will trigger the curse. Among the same batch of entrants, the curse will be released only when there is only one living person left. If only one living person enters, the living person will be lost in the forest until the next living person.
Those who enter will trigger the duel curse together.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Survivor rewards]
If there is only one survivor left in the entire forest, he will be able to share the power drawn by the curse of the Duel Forest until the second survivor enters.
…
Duel Forest's ability is a curse system, similar to Battle Royale, the competition is who can survive in the end. In this game of survival ability, strength and brains are equally important.
The first and last worms are entrenched here, obviously to monopolize the survivor rewards], wait for work inside, and hunt down those who enter for various reasons.
And it can crowd out the crickets, parasitic insects and intelligent insects, and monopolize this place. Its strength is only stronger than other curse insects. Only by getting rid of it can we win this wonder. In other words, we need to send apostles into the duel forest?
Lu Yao suddenly realized that it seemed like he didn't need to bother himself at all.
The wonders on the fifth level are all ownerless things. As long as you use the power of faith to transform them, all demigods will be unable to use them - they cannot use the fire of faith to take them back.
In other words, as long as you are willing, you can easily capture these four wonders and piece them together into an incomplete version of the miniature empire].
However, Puxi must be dealt with first, and it is not advisable to alert others.
Lu Yao walked towards the plastic forest. As he got closer, the low trees became taller and stronger visibly to the naked eye, and the scale of the forest seemed to suddenly expand.
He knew that it was not that the tree had grown taller, but that he had shrunk.
At the entrance outside the forest, Puxi, dressed in striking clothing, is still there.
He is like a classic businessman in various game copies, standing there quietly, waiting for adventurers who come to buy various props at high prices.
Lu Yao looked at the demigod who had found no such person, but only saw a string of garbled characters.
Sure enough there is a problem.
He called up the Spell of True Sight, and the opponent's data panel slowly appeared on the hole.

Hu Yizi's exclusive ability] Hu Yizi drinks a large amount of strong alcohol and transforms into a drunk tiger. He is not affected by any negative status and is in a state of continuous change in speed, making it impossible for the enemy to judge the attack method and frequency.
…
Lu Yao suddenly realized.
It turns out that the so-called Puxi was created by Hu Yizi.
He holds some unknown item that can change his appearance and hide his identity.
Moreover, this guy is also a member of the Lord of Greed.
Lu Yao browsed through the world backstage.
The God of Darkness only has one line to comment on Hu Yizi.
"A fool who bets on himself".
Both Noland and Butterfly evaluated Hu Yizi as a militant.
Hu Yizi is the one who has fought the most external battles among the three demigods, and has been conquering and conquering other demigods all year round.
Contrary to Noland, who is steady and steady, Hu Yizi's men are all cavalry, and they plunder in the wild all year round. Because of his ferocious and arrogant behavior, the demigods adjacent to his territory have united to resist Hu Yizi
.
It is difficult to associate these two characters together for Puxi, who strongly advocates attack and Hu Yizi, and likes to hide in the dark and carry out fraudulent trade.
Lu Yao was not interested in what motives or conspiracies he had.
Today I mainly came here to teach him a lesson.
We have to let Puxi know that there will be no good results if we come to Yao God's territory to deceive and deceive.
Lu Yao stood in front of Hu Yizi.
The other party was stunned for a moment, and a dull voice came from under the brass mask: "Customer, do you need any help? Whether you need some kind of props or someone, Puxi will do our best for you.
.”
Lu Yao said: "I want to buy something from you."
"What do you want to buy?"
"Are there any epic props?"
Hu Yizi was stunned: "That kind of thing doesn't exist in the abyss."
"A spectacle will do."
"...Sorry, no."
Lu Yao nodded: "The goods are not quite available. This is not a good way to do business."
Hu Yizi clutched his cane tightly, seeming to be holding back his anger.
"Then I'll give you something and you can estimate the price."
"Please take it out and have a look."
Lu Yao raised his hand and grabbed it, and there was a flavor storage tank lv3 in his hand.
Hu Yizi observed for a while: "The fire props are of lower level and of poor quality. I can give you 120 Almighty Stones."
Lu Yao sneered.
This price reduction is indeed like that of profiteers.
He put away the Taoist soldiers and took out another paper Taoist soldier lv7].
The other party looked at it for a moment and said: "The fire props are of medium to low level and of average quality. I can give you 240 Almighty Stones."
Lu Yao took out another shiny stone.
"What about this?"
Seeing the luminous stone on his paw, Hu Yizi froze suddenly, as if he couldn't believe it: "This is... a godhead?"
"You are not a wise insect. It is impossible for a wise insect to possess godhood!"
"Who are you?"
Faced with this problem, Lu Yao just played with the godhead in his hand: "You don't know who I am, but I know who you are. But things like identity are actually not important."
"I'm here to do business with you today."
Lu Yao said: "I respect the rules of businessmen. Everything has a price. So, now I want you to measure how much you are worth?"
"..."
Hu Yizi was silent for a while: "I can't measure my own price."
"So, what is the price the God of Greed will give you?"
"who are you?"
He took a step back, looking particularly alert and nervous.
Lu Yao smiled slightly: "I am your customer, and you need to give me a satisfactory price to buy your right to survive here. So, give me a price first."
Hu Yizi seemed to have finally realized something. He held the cane with both hands and his voice was trembling: "In and out of the abyss, descending on behalf of others, holding the divine head... You have inherited the legacy of the God of Darkness!"
His tone also became a bit excited.
"If I could be your God, I would tell you everything I know, truthfully tell you everything I know, and devote all my strength to you!"
The price Hu Yizi set for himself is quite high.
It's a pity that Lu Yao doesn't like to bargain.
"I've estimated the price for you."
Lu Yao said: "The conclusion is that it is not worth buying."
He raised his hand and waved, and the divine giant walked out of the white mist, shrouding Hu Yizi who was trying to escape in its huge figure...
