Early the next morning, before dawn, Fatty excitedly called everyone up. Everyone looked a little reluctant. After all, the hot spring bath last night was a bit too watery. Fatty didn't care about everyone's mood.
, still excitedly shouted: "Brothers, please be smart, the beautiful scenery of green fir trees and red rouge is only for a moment. If you miss it, you will have to wait a month."
Yuexi and the others followed the fat man dubiously to the fir forest area not far from the enclave. The advance team discovered patches of wild oily fir forest in this area, so some of them built treehouses and started building on the fir trees.
Breeding cochineal beetles. Cochineal beetles are a very special kind of insect. They can effectively combine with the special species of fir leaves they eat and store the dark energy of the dark world in their own bodies. Their lifespan is extremely short, only about a month. As long as it is timely
Collect insect bodies and refine them to obtain very valuable materials. Oily fir insect bodies like this can be used to refine fuel oil, and the insect shells themselves can also be used as incense materials.
Everyone came to the tree house. It was a simple straw canopy built on the trunk of a giant tree. There were straw ropes on the trunks everywhere. Yue Xi didn't understand the purpose, so she asked the fat man. The fat man explained, "Collect the rouge."
Insects need to be guarded day and night. The environment here is harsh and there are many snakes and insects, especially a black venomous snake, which is highly toxic and well hidden, especially at night when people are not careful about it.
Two people have died from snake poison before and after. Fatty and the others really have no choice but to tie the tree trunks with ropes soaked in snake repellent to prevent the poisonous snakes from harming them. However, most of the insect bodies are collected at the turn of day and night, because the poisonous snakes are poisonous.
Due to interference, the collection efficiency of insect shells has not been high, and it is impossible to increase the planting area in forest areas.
Putting aside these terrible things, everyone climbed up the ladder one by one and said a few words to the workers guarding the tree house. The fat man asked everyone to sit on the tree trunk and pointed forward mysteriously:
"Did you see? This is the fir forest in front of us. Jin Yaofu hasn't illuminated it yet. When it is illuminated in a while, it will be very beautiful. Everyone, look carefully."
At this time, the sky was almost dark except for a faint light from the Ouroboros ring. The fir forest was dark, and the cool breeze rustled the forest. It was a bit cold. The moon was setting.
The leader curled up his neck and waited patiently. After a while, the star track moved, and the first beam of light illuminated the horizon. The light moved quickly towards the direction of the moon. The darkness receded, and the light regained control of the earth. When the light
The moment it shines on the fir forest, the forest seems to be alive and glowing with green vitality. Between the green fir leaves, dots of red light surround it. Countless red dots are as beautiful as gems, and slightly.
It was fleeting, extinguished like a candle when it encountered strong light, and the red tobacco continued to lengthen and float into the air until it disappeared.
The fat man spoke: "Ah, I've seen the beautiful scenery. Let's ask some brothers to do some work. They are all masters. The task of clearing out the poisonous snakes will be handed over to you soon."
It turned out that we were waiting for the brothers here. Sure enough, nothing is free, but since they were deceived, the brothers did what they said. Five ability users brought rune weapons to clear the way in front of them, clearing the way for possible people in the forest.
The place where there were snakes was turned upside down, and there were indeed quite a few. Guang Yuexi picked up four of them. These black poisonous snakes were not a big problem for people with abilities, but ordinary workers could not be said for that. Moreover.
According to Fatty's introduction, this forest can only produce two barrels of fuel a month, and the output is very limited. If you want to expand the scale, cleaning up the nearby forests is a problem that must be solved. However, there is no good way at the moment.
Brother Neng can do it on his own, as there are too few ability users in the camp, and the cultivation of fir forests has always been the bulk of the enclave's income, so that's all it can do now.
Hongye Town, an inconspicuous small hotel, a strange man wearing a gray robe opened the door and walked in. He walked silently to a small door of the hotel. A big man stopped him. He showed
a two-headed snake
The big man opened a door and motioned for him to go down. The stranger followed his instructions and walked in. Inside the door was a dark staircase, which was very deep. The stranger held on to the wall and went down little by little until
The end of the stairs.
The space below is unexpectedly large, with scarlet walls, black and white lattice ceiling, a triangular altar placed in the middle, fragrant wax lit on the ground, and many people wearing gray robes lined up in an orderly manner, holding two pairs of hands in one hand.
The head snake sign, holding the tributes he prepared in one hand, respectfully placed the tributes on the altar one by one, silently chanting in his mouth.
"In the true name of the all-powerful Quetzalcoatl of Chaos, all praises go to Naga Kulkan, the Lord of the Worlds. Here, your followers pray devoutly. Unbelievers have polluted the earth. Please bring true disasters and bring about the end of the world."
Throw your enemies into the fire and lead your followers to the final paradise."
This verse was recited continuously, probably due to the effect of the fragrant wax. The believers became excited and the sacrificial activities reached their climax. On the high platform on the right, several masked priests stood on both sides of the high platform, dressed in scarlet.
The high priest in snake robes wears a golden mask symbolizing the snake god and holds a green snake staff. He opens his hands to the believers. Everyone is prostrate on the ground. A large pool rises from the ground. The lucky believers of Erming are naked.
Standing by the pool, the high priest sang a mantra, and the believers all stood up. The two lucky ones jumped into the red water crazily. The believers chanted crazily over and over again: "Those who are unlucky will fall into reincarnation, and those who are chosen will fall into reincarnation.
Be born again.”
Not long after, one lucky man managed to stand up, with veins twisting like snakes traveling throughout his body. This was an extremely unorthodox method of awakening with a very low success rate, but for the criminal Xing Min who had no civil rights,
For many people, being able to become an awakened person is the only hope in their hopeless life, and the reason why the Chaos Truth Religion can develop rapidly in the border areas is precisely because of this. After the ceremony, the believers dispersed, and the servants of God took another
The lucky guy who was soaking in the pool and couldn't die anymore was dragged out. Seeing this scene, Nan Hua couldn't help but frowned, took off his robe and said: "It's been so many years, why are you still using this kind of extreme
Unstable Awakening Potion.”
Dix sneered and asked: "If you want to use an awakening potion, it's best to use the one with a stabilizer. But with so many believers' needs, where can we get so many resources? Don't be stupid, this is our fate.
, isn’t that how you and I got through it?”
"But." Nan Hua wanted to continue arguing, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. Dix and she were considered lucky geniuses back then, but they took completely different paths. Nan Hua chose to leave and form a mercenary group.
, she wanted to at least change the lives of the people around her through her own efforts. But Dix chose a more radical path to restore the glory of the Rosseau Empire. To this end, he even joined the killer organization Asamai and became an ace killer.
"Dix, you are finally back. You completed your last mission well." The speaker was an elegant man wearing a white robe.
"Master Steward, why are you back in person?" Nan Hua said excitedly.
The elegant man looked at Nan Hua and said with a smile: "It's Nan Hua. He has grown so big. Now our great cause has hope. It's great that you can come back to help."
The Lord Steward is a legend among the criminals. It is said that he endured great humiliation and protected these survivors of the previous dynasty from being massacred. He also personally prepared the cheaper awakening potion for the exiles to use for free, but later Chaos
After the establishment of the Truth Religion, everything changed a bit.
Nan Hua has always regarded the steward as his idol. After chatting with Nan Hua for a while, the steward and Dix walked aside and talked a little. Dix nodded, said goodbye to the steward, and took Nan Hua out.
Looking at the two people going out, the steward seemed to recall some past events, and then walked towards the passage behind the altar.
It was dark. The steward walked for a long time before he reached the end and opened the door. It was a completely different scene. The bright courtyard was illuminated by tourmaline as if it were daytime. Various exotic flowers and plants were planted in the courtyard. Several people
The maids were busy, and a woman in a gauze silk robe was lying on the chaise longue, taking a nap.
The steward stepped forward, and all the maids bowed and left when they saw the steward. The steward walked to the imperial concubine's chair, knelt down on one knee, performed the most respectful bowing ceremony before the emperor, and said: "My king, Maitreya Mei
Your Highness, your most loyal servant has come to pay homage."
The Queen opened her eyes. She was so beautiful. Although she was already forty-six years old, time seemed to have left no trace on her body at all. She was like the Barbilo who never aged and still maintained her beauty for thirty years.
previous appearance.
Maitreya stretched her waist, sat up, looked at the steward, and said with a smile: "Trebo, come here, sit down, when will the plan you mentioned last time be implemented? I still have some expectations, this place
It’s really boring. When can I leave? If I keep waiting like this, I will get old. My most loyal Trebo.”
After saying that, Maitreya stretched out her hand. The steward raised his hands and gently held them. He greedily sucked the fragrance on his hands. After a while, he said with satisfaction: "It won't be long, my king, everything will be fine."
It went very well, and I assure you that it won’t take long before you can restore the former glory of the Russo Empire on top of the buildings in Wangjing.”
At this end of the enclave, Liu Yuexi and the others have been in a state of distress due to the black snakes in the forest in the past few days. Since there were not enough manpower, almost all the awakened people were mobilized to participate in this vigorous snake elimination campaign.
It was okay during the day. At first, Yue Xi and the others achieved great results. However, later on, those black snakes also learned their skills. It was already difficult to find their traces during the day. Yue Xi and others could only take risks and hunt the black snakes at night.
, but the effect is really limited. It seems that the expansion of the fir forest can only be done step by step. To achieve a big effect in a short period of time, it is obviously not possible to rely on the current manpower. But Yuexi is worried, money is being scattered here every day in the enchantment tree.
In maintenance, if the enclave can come up with a profitable project earlier, Yuexi's pressure can be relieved a lot. After all, he is borrowing other people's money to develop the enclave, and the issue of bonds has not yet been settled. These loans borrowed from merchants
Short-term loans have to be repaid, and now every day when he opens his eyes, a pile of debts will appear in his mind. There is no good way to increase revenue, and it is impossible to reduce expenditures. This makes Liu Yuexi worried to death.
On this day, Liu Yuexi had been hunting snakes all night, and had just come back and slept for a while. The fat man ran in with a very confused look, holding a strange blue mushroom, shaking Yuexi awake desperately, and said excitedly: "
Brother Yue, look, I succeeded."
Yuexi was a little depressed by him, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What's the success?"
The fat man put the blue mushroom in front of Yue Xi's eyes. It looked weird at first glance, and unfortunately it was also poisonous. Yue Xi subconsciously took a step back, trying to steady the fat man, "Don't come over here, just stand there and say."
"This blue mushroom is originally highly toxic, but after my research, I have successfully removed its toxicity and it can be eaten."
"It's useless."
"Hey, it's effective. It can make people extremely fast in a short period of time." Fatty proudly introduced his recent research results.
"What are the side effects?" Yue Xi asked coldly the crux of the problem.
When the fat man heard this, he turned around and said, "Well, there are some side effects, but it's not easy to control."
Yue Xi knows Fatty very well. If Fatty says there are no side effects, it means there are some side effects. If Fatty says there are some side effects, it can basically be understood that there are serious consequences.
