Chapter 1053 Monster Hunting Plan [Happy New Year]
Zong Shen looked at the information and didn't find it too strange about the function of [Folbolg Stalker Skin (Orange)].
He is no stranger to the furbolg tribe.
Ever since he first discovered two furbolg warriors and a furbolg shaman in the woods, Zong Shen understood that furbolgs should be social creatures that already had a primitive social structure.
It's just that the intelligence of this monster group is not very high.
Among the furbolgs, only leaders such as prophets, shamans, and clan leaders have a higher degree of enlightenment.
As for the majority of the furbolg tribe, they are in a state of ignorance, like incompletely evolved apes erectus, who are still several steps away from starting civilization.
But at least in terms of biological "hardware", the furbolg group that can walk upright and communicate simply through specific methods has the foundation to become an intelligent group.
Their form itself is that of a giant bear walking upright.
The hip bone structure is different from that of the ferocious brown bear and violent bear. It can keep walking upright for a long time. At the same time, its habits have not lost its wildness, but also have a certain primitive order.
And when it comes to the enlightenment of the furbolg tribe, Zong Shen believes that it should also be related to the God of the Forest or the Druid Church.
First of all, the form of the Druid of the Claw after transforming into a bear is very similar to that of a furbolg.
Secondly, the furbolg shaman uses natural witchcraft, which is the prototype of druid magic.
Finally, in the small forest, there were three furbolgs living very unexpectedly. Rather than saying that the three of them formed a group, it was better to say that they were protecting the broken natural altar.
In other words, there is a high possibility that there is a real habitat for the furbolgs in the surrounding area.
Regarding this question, Zong Shen once asked the strategy module and got a positive answer.
In this prairie that extends for 6,000 to 7,000 kilometers from north to south, forests of varying sizes are scattered here and there due to different soil and water conditions in each region.
These forests are a mosaic of meadow-steppe. According to earth standards, they can also be called forest-steppe.
It is mainly composed of various broad-leaved forests.
Zong Shen’s understanding of forest resources and biogeography is relatively superficial.
The vast majority of lords do not care about these issues. They only cut down trees and convert the forests into timber resources.
Then use the [Market] to exchange the wood for other urgently needed resources. Anyway, the territory of the Endless Continent is large enough, with enough virgin forests, and the existence of various supernatural forces. The total area of vegetation coverage is far from comparable to that of the Earth.
The billions of lords who have descended, plus an unknown number of indigenous people and intelligent races, occupy only a drop in the bucket.
Otherwise, adjacent giant cities in the kingdom would not be thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers apart.
For example, the grassland where Zong Shen's territory is located, let's call it the Wild Wolf Grassland, has an area of six to seven thousand kilometers, which is definitely a continental area on the earth, but it can only be regarded as a "small place" here.
Under such circumstances, natural resources are extremely abundant, and the destructive efficiency of deforestation cannot even compare with the speed of natural vegetation growth and recovery on a continental scale.
At present, more than 99% of lords still mainly send farmers to collect resources in their daily way of obtaining resources.
After they have exhausted the resources around their territory, they will go further to collect resources.
Compared with dinars, which are more difficult to obtain, natural resources themselves are the easiest hard currency for lords to obtain.
The barter model, coupled with the demand for various resources for territorial development, enables the resource trade system to be maintained.
In other words, every time you cut down a tree, dig out a stone, or pick a few more clusters of hemp plants, it is equivalent to daily "gold making" and increasing the wealth accumulation of the territory.
Only a very small number of lords have completely gotten rid of this elementary model and fully utilize commercial methods to make profits.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Endless Continent is an incompletely developed treasure house. Even after several dimension changes, there are still many places where no one has set foot.
Zong Shen even considered that after he established a country in the future, or even dominated the continent, he would form a huge geographical expedition team, and with the information assistance of the strategy module, he would survey and map the entire continent, compile geographical records, and create a continental sand table!
It is precisely based on this background that Zong Shen has no doubt that there is definitely a sizable furbolg group within a thousand kilometers of the territory.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why a solitary three-headed furbolg appeared in that small forest.
According to common sense, it is most likely because there is a broken natural altar there, and the beliefs followed and worshiped by the furbolg tribe are related to the balance of nature, so furbolg warriors and furbolg shamans were specifically sent to garrison here.
Regarding this question, the strategy module gave him a detailed answer.
Centered on Zongshen's territory, within a radius of 1,500 kilometers, there are actually two large groups of furbolgs with a population of >5,000, and a group of medium-sized groups with a population of between 1,500 and 3,000.
As for the small groups with a number between 300 and 1,500, there are even sixteen.
There are even countless scattered groups of furbolgs below.
They are distributed in the four directions of east, west, north and south, and mainly live in mountains and forests or grassland forests.
However, even with such a large number of ethnic groups, it is still nothing if placed within the area scale of a radius of 1,500 kilometers.
Even the total distribution of Bloodtusk boars in the same range is greater than that of furbolgs.
Guys like Zong who rarely explore the forest rarely encounter furbolgs.
But for those lords who are keen on developing and cutting down forest resources, the chance of encountering a furbolg attack in the wild is actually not low.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Zong Shen can find high-level furbolg materials among the items inherited by the lord.
Judging from the characteristics of [Folbolg Stalker Skin (orange)], it is obvious that it should be a scout among furbolgs.
He casually threw the piece of smelly leather on the ground, not intending to take it with him, because he did not lack high-level stealth skills, and this thing was not tanned. Its soft feel made Zong Shen feel like he was holding a piece of leather.
Smelly pig skin.
Looking at the leather curled up on the ground, Zong Shen was thoughtful.
“These three ways are the main ways for lords to obtain resources.
“Among them, the most cost-effective one within the same period of time is definitely ruins exploration.”
"Of course, there are also many dangers hidden in the ruins. Not to mention the various ancient magic circles and powerful restrictions, it is difficult to deal with the undead who have accumulated enough resentment."
Zong Shen was summarizing in his mind.
As the little prince of ruins, he has accumulated rich experience in exploring ruins.
Most of the enemies in ancient ruins are undead monsters.
These resurrected dead and skeletons have a lifespan comparable to that of immortals in the starry sky. As long as the corpses are immortal and the fire of the soul is not extinguished, they can resurrect at any time and launch attacks on the living who break into the ruins.
As for those ghost bodies, collections of resentment, and projection bodies, let alone them. In a sense, they have even achieved immortality, such as the ghost projection of the great adventurer Jacques Picard.
It is almost not afraid of most attacks and damage in the main material world, and even if the projection temporarily dissipates, it can reappear after a period of time.
In addition, the various ancient restrictions and magic circles in the ruins are not so easy to solve.
If you make the slightest mistake, you will easily fall into it and become shackled.
To sum up, if you want to gain an advantage in exploring ruins, the most important thing is the information gap.
It just so happens that Zong Shen has a strategy module, which gives him a great advantage in obtaining information.
For other lords, exploring ruins may not be the most cost-effective way to obtain resources.
Compared with ruins exploration, resource collection is the real mainstream mode.
Not even Zong Shen can give up this approach, but he has more options and higher pursuits.
The vigorous development of the Azshara Mine is the best proof.
He has no interest in collecting activities such as digging rocks in the mountains, chopping wood, and collecting hemp stalks.
Wood, stone, and hemp are all basic resources, and that's the same thing.
Minerals are advanced resources, which also include some high-energy resources.
The value is much greater than the basic resources, and the resource points are relatively concentrated, allowing large-scale mining.
Every mining area can be called a gold pit and a silver den. The advanced resources mined flow into the [market], and the value difference is used to exchange a large amount of basic resources in the hands of the lords.
Therefore, Zong Shen's resource acquisition strategy has always been relatively clear.
That is a strategic model that focuses on exploring relics and consolidating resource extraction.
As for hunting monsters, he actually doesn't care much about it.
It's just a matter of killing the monsters blocking the way when opening up resource points or exploring ruins.
The truly organized and planned hunting and eradication operations can be traced back to the previous offensive against the Goblin tribe in the mountains and forests in the northern part of the territory. That was because the presence of large groups of Goblins threatened the development of the territory.
But for other lords, hunting monsters is the second largest way to obtain resources after resource collection.
On the contrary, ruin exploration is the least popular way.
Everyone knows that most ancient ruins contain treasures.
But exploring the ruins is not that simple.
Apart from anything else, it is not easy just to know the exact location of the ruins.
The older the ruins are, the more secluded they are. Coupled with the changes over time and the impact of vicissitudes of life, many landforms are different from those of the past. Do you still want to explore the ruins without turning on the information?
I'm afraid that the preliminary clue collection and location confirmation are both a big hurdle and will take a lot of time and effort to complete.
Even if you confirm the exact location of the ruins and fully explore it, you will still have to go through various battles.
Weird undead, resentful souls of the past, monsters living and dormant in the caves, and great horrors left over from ancient times are all difficulties that need to be faced during the exploration process.
Therefore, the resource acquisition strategies of most lords are completely different from those of the clan.
In terms of efficiency, of course Zong won the victory.
As a comparison, this advantage is still there. Coupled with the Matthew effect, the superposition of the strong and the strong, Zong Shen can also enjoy the time bonus, become stronger and stronger, and can develop more and more difficult relics.
and resource points.
However, at this moment, as he looked at the furbolg skin, he suddenly had a new idea.
Monster materials are also valuable strategic resources.
There are monsters and wild beasts in this world. Because of the existence of elemental magic, they are all more powerful than their counterparts on the earth, and their bodies have also evolved accordingly.
This makes monster materials almost equivalent to magic materials and has excellent elemental properties.
Most of the essence materials also have the characteristics of the monster itself.
Compared with other resources that are well-reserved, Zong Shen does not have much monster materials on hand, which is considered a shortcoming. He plans to make some arrangements to make up for this shortcoming.
Then in addition to the adventure team responsible for exploring the ruins, a hunting team with sufficient strength must be organized in the territory to carry out planned killing and killing operations against the surrounding monster groups.
Capture and tame groups that are valuable for domestication, such as the Bloodtusk Wild Boar.
There are two giant dragons in the territory. Even if Xiao Heizi is not there, he can still pull out Lan Xiaodai (little blue dragon). The young dragon also has a good ability to suppress dragon power. Of course, the young dragon can suppress more.
It is aimed at monsters below the orange overlord level. After all, the combat power of the young dragon is not too strong and cannot survive several levels of suppression.
Even juveniles of superior species are easily killed by high-level monsters when isolated and helpless.
But Longwei couldn't be better used to assist in the domestication of Warcraft.
Those that have no taming value are hunted directly to obtain the corresponding monster materials.
Once this plan is implemented, it will definitely further increase the territory’s total daily resource acquisition!
But the biggest problem right now is that the territory lacks enough high-end combat power.
The only legendary level combatants are Heizi, Colby and himself.
Epic battle powers include Carginia, Eagle Sauce, Flying Tiger, Joan of Arc, Lion Skeleton Knight Richardson, etc.
Further down are those fifth- and sixth-level warriors, including the Predator [Arbiter Gurgat], of course, that is unless it self-destructs with a "nuclear bomb".
As for Favid, Doris and other combat heroes, their comprehensive combat power, reference level, and acquired talents and equipment are only equivalent to the level above the fifth level.
Therefore, the top priority is to cultivate more high-end combat capabilities in a short period of time!
Only in this way can we shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the hunting team to defeat the monster tribe!
Zong Shen thought of this and decided to immediately promote someone to the legendary level during the morning meeting tomorrow.
It just so happens that he possesses the privileged skill [Legendary Instruction] that comes with [Unique Title: True Legend].
There are three opportunities to raise the target to the legendary level, which is equivalent to the territory that can quickly produce three legendary strongmen.
In addition, as the first lord in the world whose regular attributes reached legendary, Zong Shen received a [Legendary Level Heroes in Prosperity Optional Recruitment Scroll].
There are four places for legendary powerhouses here!
