Chapter 488: Full of harvest, return to the territory [5K]
Zong Shen thought for a moment and quickly made a decision.
The mine ruins are very involved and are extremely large ruins.
He had received a map tattoo before, which marked several strongholds of the resistance army at that time.
In addition to the mine, there is another one near the ruins of the original Azshara.
There is also a rune key that opens the secret stronghold of the resistance.
So the exploration of the mine is far from over.
It's just that the time is not yet ripe, and he is not ready to free up his hands to explore the mine.
Everything has a priority process.
After hearing Zong Shen's instructions, Haoyi replied obediently.
"I understand, sir. I will tell Dutra right now."
"We are now starting to return to the territory."
Zong Shen couldn't help but nodded and said.
"Okay, wait for me when you return to the territory."
"I still have tasks that I need you to complete."
"Okay sir!"
"Goodbye then!"
Haoyi naturally had no objection, and Zong Shen hung up the crystal without saying anything.
He continued to look at the pile of gems, except Howie used the "Hiking Merchant's Emblem".
You can also use goblin airships for transportation.
Although that thing is not fast, its capacity is quite large.
After all, the pod can carry dozens of people. If it were used to hold gems, it would be enough to hold half of it at once.
Moreover, the interior of the griffon nest is spacious enough, with enough space for the goblin airship to take off and land.
He can place the airship directly next to the gem mine.
By collecting batches from storage compartments, it can be filled up after just a few more trips.
I have to say that the feasibility of this idea is still very high.
According to the capacity of the goblin airship, it takes about three loads to transport all the gems back.
Just as he was told, Zong Shen took out the goblin airship.
Start organizing quickly with storage compartments.
Put other gems of the same grade, grade and series into the storage compartment.
You can collect tens of thousands of gems in this trip.
Then he went into the pod again and took them all out at once, stacking them in the corner.
When storing them, he deliberately ignored the wind gems and tried to keep them in the griffin's nest.
After three or four trips like this, Zong Shen loaded up the pod.
There is only one passageway leading to the cockpit.
Finally, he almost filled up his storage compartment and reserved three or five compartments for spare use.
The pile of gems in place has been reduced by more than 40%.
Let’s wait until we bring Howie on the next trip to talk about the rest.
Zong Shen's move of collecting gems was noticed by Yingjiang.
It looked at the obviously reduced pile of gems and felt a dull pain in its heart.
But it's still acceptable.
If it had been a giant dragon, it would have exploded long ago.
To remove the dragon's treasure in front of it would be to kill half of its life.
60 points of loyalty may not be enough to cover the whole situation.
Fortunately, the person in front of me was a griffon and not a giant dragon, otherwise this matter would not have been possible.
Anyway, Zong Shen has already made up his mind, the treasure he is interested in is his.
No matter whether it is a gryphon or a giant dragon, it needs to be punished.
The matter with the gem pile came to an end, and then he looked at the griffon nest with curious eyes.
The scale of this griffin's nest is not small, it is no less than an ordinary ruin.
Where there are ruins, there must be treasure chests. This is a law that all the lords know.
"Tell me the location of the treasure chest in the griffon's nest."
Because the light was too dim and there were too many clutter inside, Zong Shen couldn't detect anything at a glance.
For the sake of convenience, things like treasure hunting still have to be left to the strategy module.
(The location of the treasure chest has been marked for you)
Perhaps because the griffon nest is too big and its location is difficult to describe in words, this time the strategy module simply provided a marking service.
This thoughtful navigation function made him very satisfied.
Convenient, simple and easy.
Several golden marks appeared in Zong Shen's eyes.
The branches are located in several locations of the Griffin's Nest.
At a rough count, there are four in total.
This means that there are four treasure chests in the griffin's nest, which may also include some trap treasure chests.
This number is basically consistent with the size of the griffon's nest.
Under normal circumstances, there are only one or two treasure chests in ordinary small ruins or special locations.
For large-scale ruins like mines, there are only four or five treasure chests in the area that Zong Shen has explored.
It's just that he has just experienced the winter challenge, and after opening twenty or thirty winter treasure chests in succession, Zong has become somewhat immune to these treasure chests.
At least he is familiar with treasure chests of silver level and below.
In line with the principle of never letting go of a single stitch, he rode on Ying Jiang's back again.
If you rely on him to walk, it will waste a lot of time.
And not all treasure chests are on the ground.
There are two of them in mid-air somewhere inside the lair.
Because the griffon nest is irregular in detail.
The logs inside are criss-crossed and cross each other, and some platforms also extend out.
Therefore, riding Eagle Sauce is the best choice.
After seven or eight minutes of struggling, he finally got all four treasure boxes in the lair.
These four treasure boxes occupy exactly four of his storage compartments.
It was also because the storage compartments were limited, so he did not choose to open it on the spot.
The top priority now is to rush back to the territory and bring back the first batch of gems.
Then take Howie for a trip and solve the problem of garrisoning the griffon nest at the same time.
It was already past six o'clock in the evening.
The sky began to darken, and the afterglow of the setting sun dispersed its light, as if all its power had been exhausted.
The sunlight also changed from golden to orange.
In addition, the sky has darkened for half the day.
The whole world looks intertwined with light and dark, full of strange beauty.
Zong Shende was responsible for piloting the goblin airship, so he asked Yingjiang to return with it with ten captain-level griffins and six commander-level griffins.
As for the original gryphon nest, it should remain unchanged. The eagle sauce will come back every now and then to intimidate and intimidate, and it should be enough to consolidate its dominance.
Otherwise, if you leave the nest for too long, a new leader of the group will most likely be born in this griffon nest.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After all, the gryphon here has no direct relationship with Zong Shen, they are all indirectly controlled by Yingjiang.
After roughly sorting out his future plans, Zong Shen issued an order to Yingjiang.
All the griffins he singled out gathered together and stood ready outside the lair.
Zong Shen stepped into the pod of the airship, started the airship, and flew directly out of the nest.
Let the guide prompts guide him on the path to the territory.
Then it started at full speed and moved forward at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
It is expected that we will successfully reach the territory in more than two hours.
Pity those griffins, they can only follow the airship slowly even if they have faster flying speed.
It's not like Zong Shen never thought about letting these griffins drag the airship forward.
Unfortunately, this solution is not easy to implement and requires some preparation in advance.
Let the dwarf uncle build several sets of special hanging saddles to fix them on the griffin, and then use strong metal wire ropes to hang them on the airship's hanging basket.
Use griffins to replace the airbags and turbofan units, and arrange them to move forward in a queue, so that the griffins can hang it and run.
Now that he only has a few hemp ropes on his body, he can't complete this task at all. Even making do is a bit reluctant. If he has time to mess around, he might as well set off directly.
After all, the speed of 80 kilometers per hour is not bad, and we expect to arrive at the territory around eight o'clock in the evening.
…
On the other side, Vereesa, Luna, and Doris led the combat team to the Manticore's lair.
Compared with griffons, these guys are more like viviparous mammals.
The cubs need milk to survive.
The corresponding growth cycle and lifespan are one-third shorter than that of the griffon.
It seems that the fertility rate is also slightly higher.
There are many half-grown manticores flying and playing in the lair.
The Creator is fair and has given the griffons stronger strength and characteristics.
This will limit the fertility and growth cycle.
The scorpion-tailed tiger's lair is in a cliff, and they dig caves with their sharp claws.
At the same time, a beautiful platform was built with logs.
Yes, it is beautiful.
Compared with the griffon, the manticore's construction skills are much better.
At least from an aesthetic point of view.
The platforms on the cliff are very flat.
Following Zong Shen's previous instructions, Vereesa and Luna began to screen.
He led the soldiers back to the territory in batches on manticore tigers.
On the way here, Vereesa and the others had noticed the changes in direction.
According to their estimates, this place is about 400 kilometers away from the griffin's nest.
But it's not too far away, just a little further north than the Griffin's Nest.
From a general perspective analysis, the griffon's nest is located in the northwest of the territory, while the manticore's nest is located slightly north of the northeast of the territory.
Vereesa judged through her instinct of knowing the way that the straight-line distance from here to the territory was approximately between 300 kilometers and 350 kilometers.
Manticores are not slow either. The maximum speed at the same level is only about 70 to 80 kilometers slower than gryphons. Riding captain-level or above manticores can reach the territory in about an hour.
Their plan was very simple. They were going to lead the way on flying tigers, leading ten commander-level scorpion-tailed tigers at a time to lead the warriors back to their territory.
A commander-level manticore tiger can be ridden by three warriors.
As for Luna, who was riding the black panther, she sat on the back of the flying tiger with Vereesa and Doris.
After all, Feihu is the leader of the scorpion-tailed tigers. Even if its size is not comparable to that of Yingjiang, it is not much different. It is more than enough to carry a black panther and three women.
In this way, both the manticore and the gryphon were settled.
According to time calculation, Luna and the others should arrive at the territory earlier than Zong Shen.
…
Two hours and twenty-seven minutes later.
Zong Shen's goblin airship slowly landed in the territory.
When those griffins flew nearby, the defense matrix in the territory almost launched an attack.
Except for Eagle Sauce, the other griffins have no names.
Fortunately, Zong Shen used the communication crystal to allow Mariel to temporarily set up the territory defense.
Set the following griffons as allies.
By this time, Vereesa and the others had already returned.
Feihu was placed in a small forest more than ten kilometers away from the territory.
This is the grove where Zong Shen used to hammer bear monsters.
All the remaining manticores returned to their lairs.
Only when Zong Shen is ready for further preparations can he start raising scorpion-tailed tigers in captivity nearby.
There is no rush in this matter, since Feihu has already got it, and other little miscellaneous fish will definitely not be able to escape.
The goblin airship stopped smoothly in the open space.
A total of seventeen griffons, including Yingjiang, also fell smoothly.
With these gryphons accompanying us, the return journey will be very safe.
When Zong Shen walked out of the cockpit, the first thing he did was to take out all the gems from the storage compartment on his body and pile them on the ground.
Hero units have storage compartments that can be stored quickly, so Zong Shen doesn’t have to worry about missing items.
Even if you miss one or two, it's not a big deal.
At this time, Vereesa, Mariel, and Doris were already waiting at the side.
As for Luna, she is still dealing with Feihu in the woods.
This is also one of the tasks assigned by Zong Shen.
In fact, he will embark on an overnight journey tonight to Bosbon.
Ying Jiang will go with him by then.
To be precise, Yingjiang will take him to Bosibon.
As for the other sixteen griffons, they will carry the warriors he selected and carry supplies to the griffin nest.
More communication crystals have been prepared a long time ago, and now they are numbered 30.
It is enough to meet the communication needs inside and outside the territory.
Facing Zong Shen leaving the cabin, Marier was the first to step forward.
Her pace was very fast, which caused the waves under her clothes to surge.
"Sir, the main formation of the 100-kilometer teleportation array has been completed."
"Now we just have to build the auxiliary array within 999 kilometers."
"In addition, all complete buildings including the Farm Tower have been completed."
"The living area has also begun to be renovated into a double-story stone house."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It is still under construction due to construction time."
Mariel bowed slightly and reported in a hurried tone.
When Zong Shen and the others were on the expedition, Marier was not idle either.
The infrastructure sector is booming.
Zong Shen took off his battle helmet and put it on his arm.
He looked at Mariel with a smile on his face and nodded approvingly.
"By the way, sir, I collected some space-based materials in the market in the evening."
"A primary time rune was also discovered."
"Although I won't use it now, I think it is necessary to collect it in advance."
Mariel smiled when she saw this and added slowly.
"You did a good job."
"These materials are all valuable but not marketable."
“It’s not even included in points redemption.”
“If you find one, buy one.”
Zong Shen said proudly. With his family background in the territory, he felt confident when he said this.
"By the way, the collection of materials for the Giant Wolf's Lair is going to be accelerated."
"I remember there wasn't much material that was missing before."
He took Mariel a few steps forward, suddenly remembered something, stopped and said.
"I understand, sir..."
Mariel nodded. In fact, the giant wolf's lair will be built soon.
"Mariel, Vereesa, Doris."
"You drive the loader mecha to transport the gems in the airship."
"Doris will bring Howie and wait for me at the Lord's Building in half an hour."
"Maril, Vereesa, call the three fat men and bring some people to count the gems tonight."
"First divide these gems into two categories: ordinary gems and magic gems."
"Then they are subdivided and put into empty baggage barrels according to different categories, qualities, and levels."
"After the inventory is completed, build a three-level cellar in the small courtyard and put all the gems in it."
Zong Shen said vigorously and quickly walked towards the central city.
Suddenly he stopped, turned his head and said seriously.
"By the way, if those frozen cows and sheep haven't been processed yet, just feed them to these big guys."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Along the way, he could see that there were indeed many more buildings near the central circle.
These are complete buildings that don't take a lot of time.
Complete buildings were prioritized because of their convenience properties.
He walked straight into the lord's courtyard, stepped up the steps, opened the door and entered the lord's small building.
After struggling for a long time and fighting with Yingjiang for a long time, his hunger and fullness level had already dropped below 60.
He came to the kitchen, took out some sausages, jerky and other dry food and began to heat them.
Simply steam them over water and these foods will become soft and delicious.
Zong Shen stood by the stove, watching the fire rise and heat the iron pot.
The water in the pot begins to boil, and steam rises around the beam.
After steaming for ten minutes, Zong Shen opened the lid and started to eat.
He took off his chain gloves, picked up the food regardless of the heat, and ate it with big mouthfuls.
During this period, I also took out a bottle of aged red wine and drank most of it.
After drinking and eating, Zong Shen turned off the stove and touched his swollen belly.
"Hiccup~"
He burped, left the kitchen and walked out of the hall.
At this time, Doris also brought Howie to the lord's small building.
"Sir, we are here."
They bowed and saluted to express their respect.
Zong Shen waved his hand and pointed to the chair in the living room.
"Howie, sit down for a while."
"Doris, go and bring the twelve Rhodok second-order crossbowmen and four light rangers to the gryphon."
"They will be responsible for guarding the gryphon's lair."
"This is fluid and can be adjusted back at any time."
"Let them adapt to riding griffons as soon as possible."
"Also prepare a batch of supply and communication crystals for them."
He said concisely and concisely, and he had already made a decision while eating.
The first group of people who ride griffins still have to be long-range troops.
It is best to be a third-level ranger or a fourth-level ranger.
However, there are currently not many rangers in the territory, but there are still some second-level crossbowmen.
Therefore, Zong Shencai decisively chose the Rhodok Crossbowman and the Avalon Light Crossbowman.
This will not affect the strength of the territory, but can also cultivate the first batch of aerial riders.
At least it would be beneficial and harmless for them to become proficient in riding griffons.
"As you command, my lord."
"I'll go to the living area to summon them."
After Doris bowed, she quickly left the lord's building.
Howie also sat in the chair, waiting for instructions honestly.
But he saw Zong Shen walking towards the door in a hurry.
"Howie, sit down..."
"I'm too dirty. Let's go take a bath in a hot spring first."
His words echoed in the room, but the people had already left.
Howie showed an embarrassed expression and could only wait with peace of mind.
