Chapter 47: Excellent leveling spot, I'm grinding away!
In the thick fog, Lord Shen, sitting in a wheelchair and being carried forward by orcs, checked the attributes of the Eye of True Sight.
"This kind of eye has a monitoring range of 100 meters and can continue for 48 hours, which is really impressive."
By placing a few True Sight Eyes around the territory, you can gain advance knowledge of the enemy's movements.
If, at that time, another person with ill intentions like Gideon were to appear and attempt to attack the territory, Shen Xing would be able to detect it in advance.
Although there are only 15 True Sight Eyes, it won't take more than a few days.
But it doesn't matter. With Shen Xing's improvement speed, he will be able to mass-produce boss-level units in a few days.
Then I'll let him know who's in charge of garlic in this area!
After putting the [Eye of True Sight] into his personal backpack, Shen Xing began to check the next item.
This time it was a yellowed parchment with the outline of a tower drawn in black lines.
Lighthouse construction blueprints
[Level: Common]
Area: 17 square meters
Height: 18 meters
Maximum irradiation distance: 125 meters
[Effect: Allows the construction of a lighthouse within the territory. The beam of light can penetrate fog and create a safe zone with a diameter of 5 meters.]
Construction materials required: 100 wood, 100 stone, 10 black iron, 10 soul stones
(Note: "Trust in the light, it will guide you forward~")
...
"Huh? Not only can it penetrate the fog, but it can also create a safe zone?"
"This lighthouse is even more effective than I imagined!"
Shen Xing originally thought this thing was just for providing lighting, but he didn't expect it to have such an unexpected surprise.
This is truly an unexpected bonus – an old lady kissed someone and got a set of gold-plated dentures.
Satisfied, he put the bottle into his backpack, then took out a small wine bottle, the strong aroma of the wine filling his nostrils.
[Underground Dwarf Liquor]
[Quality: Green]
【Volume: 200ml】
[Effect: After consumption, it increases the user's strength by 15% and attack speed by 25%, but reduces hit rate by 20% for 80 seconds.]
(Note: Oh! My brother, the dwarven liquor will get you going, make you furious, set it on fire!)
...
"Good stuff. Give a violent unit like Hellscream a bottle, and its lethality will increase dramatically."
"I just wonder if he'll go into a drunken rampage mode if he drinks too much?"
Shen Xing thought to himself with a smile.
As for the last item, [Hellfire Seed], it is the main material used to recruit lesser demons and other hellish creatures.
"Now that today's exploration is over, we can return to our territory to recruit lesser demons."
"This unit is still very strong. After all, I still want to form a Lesser Demon bombardment squad."
"When a dozen lesser demons throw out hellfireballs together, the scene will be spectacular."
Shen Xing couldn't help but think of that scene, and all he wanted to do was shout it out.
"Let the flames purify everything!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly covered his mouth and looked around guiltily.
Damn it, I got so excited I blurted out what was on my mind.
Fortunately, apart from his own orc squad and those light elves who lacked intelligence, there was no one else here.
Xia Wanyin didn't turn around, seemingly focused on checking the attributes of the items she had purchased.
Shen Xing breathed a slight sigh of relief; thankfully, no one heard her.
After a twenty-minute drive.
They soon arrived at their destination.
"Splash... splash..."
The lake surface was turbulent with mist, and the deep water resembled thick ink, giving one the feeling of swallowing everything.
When he first came here, he could only see a small area by the light of the lantern.
But now, as my level has increased, my eyesight has also improved considerably, and I can now see scenes more than ten meters away even in the fog.
Through the hazy mist, one can vaguely see the jagged rocks on the river surface and the constantly crashing waves.
"Is Shen Xing here?" Xia Wanyin stopped and turned to ask.
Shen Xing observed the terrain for a while.
This place is some distance from the Blackwater River. There is a black sand beach on the shore, and several huge rocks around it for cover. It is indeed an excellent place for battle.
"Let's do it here."
As he spoke, he took out the small animal skin bag that the wandering merchant had given him from his personal backpack.
Then he took out an unidentified item wrapped in black oilcloth, and a strong, pungent aroma wafted out.
Even Xia Wanyin, with her keen sense of smell, couldn't help but cover her nose.
Shen Xing sent out an orc to place the bait in the center of the black sand beach, and then led his men to hide behind a boulder.
Then they waited quietly.
Seven or eight minutes passed, and apart from the churning waves in the distance, there was still no movement.
Just as Shen Xing was about to send an orc to check ahead, he suddenly heard a splash, followed by a rustling sound of swimming.
"They're here!"
Both men's expressions changed, and their troops went on high alert.
Under their watchful eyes, figures emerged from the water, dragging their wet fish tails as they climbed onto the black shallows, quickly stepping into the firelight's range.
These figures had human-shaped upper bodies and thick fish tails covered with jet-black scales.
It looks somewhat like a mermaid, but even more ferocious.
They included both men and women; the men were robust and had well-defined muscles.
The women had alluring features, and their long, wet hair clung to their nearly naked upper bodies.
That expanse of white flesh makes one marvel at how nutritious it is.
Dark Naga
[Level: 8]
[Potential: Average ★★★]
[Attributes: Strength 31, Spirit 28, Agility 19, Constitution 24]
[Skills: Surprise Attack, Water Bullet]
[Talent: Aquatic Adaptation]
[Synergy - Naga (Activated): When there are more than 10 Naga units on the field, all Naga gain an additional 10% armor.]
...
Dark Naga Vanguard
[Level: 9]
[Potential: Elite ★]
...
"Elite monster, be careful."
Shen Xing quickly gave a reminder and took out the [Mechanical Crossbow].
On the shallows, the Naga saw the firelight emanating from the surroundings and realized they had been tricked.
A cold, vertical glint flashed in his pupils as he scanned the surroundings, quickly locking onto the group behind the boulder.
"ადამიანის...დაჭამაისინი!"
The leading Naga uttered ancient syllables.
The next moment, all the dozen or so Naga opened their black mouths, as if something was accumulating in their throats!
"Pfft! Pfft pfft!"
One after another, compressed water bullets shot out!
—Water projectile!
The moment the attack came, the two light element giants, each over two meters tall, quickly stepped forward and raised their right arms high.
"Buzz!"
The light shield deployed, blocking the first wave of attacks from the Dark Nagas.
At the same time, the light elemental archers behind them drew their bows, and a dense barrage of light arrows shot out!
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"
Shen Xing also commanded the orc legion to charge forward.
Faced with this elite force whose members all possessed the potential of ordinary three-star units and were all at level 5 or higher, the Dark Naga were forced into a series of defeats.
In the blink of an eye, several Naga scales were pierced by the light arrows and then hacked into mincemeat by the orcs.
"Hurrah!"
Upon seeing its companion die, the elite Naga roared in fury and abruptly raised the seashell scepter in its hand.
The black water river behind them was stirred up, forming a dark vortex.
"Splash... splash..."
A waterspout quickly formed, as if it were about to rush onto the shore and swallow them all up!
But before the skill could be released, a green figure had already silently appeared behind him.
The double-edged battle axe flashed with eerie green light in the darkness, then slammed down hard on the neck of the elite Naga!
With a "plop," a head spun 721 degrees in the air before rolling onto the shallows.
The headless corpse twitched a few times before collapsing completely.
Shen Xing covered his eyes, thinking to himself that the battles in this game were too bloody and too realistic.
Of course, this is also Hellscream's fault.
This guy fights people by beheading and chopping off hands all the time, like he has some kind of weird fetish.
After the battle, the orcs began to clean up the battlefield.
Upon seeing the gains from this battle, Shen Xing couldn't help but smile.
A total of 24 Soul Stones, 31 Vinar Silver Coins, 17 Broken Souls, and 3 Broken Elite Soul Fragments.
Even if the two split it equally, they can still get more than a dozen soul stones.
It may not sound like much, but keep in mind that the fight lasted less than two minutes.
Moreover, because of the bait, they can continuously lure monsters from the river.
"These Dark Naga do have a higher drop rate than ordinary monsters," Shen Xing said softly.
"Right?" Xia Wanyin said excitedly, "I discovered it before, and I even brought Xiao Guang here to farm a lot of Dark Naga."
They then continued to hide behind the boulder, waiting silently.
Roughly every 5 to 10 minutes, a wave of Hera Naga will land, with numbers ranging from 10 to 20.
Then, Xia Wanyin's archers fired a volley, felling a group of enemies, and the orcs charged forward with roars.
After a flurry of attacks, all the Nagas were turned into spoils of war.
After dealing with the enemies, he continued to hide behind the boulder, repeating the process.
Although it can be a bit tedious, seeing the ever-increasing resource numbers is still quite enjoyable.
And so, time flew by, and more than four hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Shen Xing glanced at the remaining oil in the kerosene lamp; it was less than one-fifth of its capacity left.
That's all for today.
Shen Xing needed to allow time for the return trip, otherwise, if he ran out of lamp oil in the fog, things would get really messy.
"it is good."
Xia Wanyin nodded gently and said, "However, we've been fighting here for several hours and still haven't found the Naga who picked up the bracelet. It seems that completing this mission won't be so easy."
Shen Xing nodded: "That's normal. This Blackwater River is so big, who knows how many monsters live in it."
"Take your time, he didn't set a deadline for us anyway."
"Next, we'll start dividing the spoils."
As he spoke, Shen Xing arrived at the beach, at the place where spoils of war were piled up.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it!
After several hours of grinding, various soul stones and coins have piled up into small mountains.
After a rough count, there were a total of: 512 Soul Stones, 535 Vinar Silver Coins, 124 Broken Common Souls, and 23 Broken Elite Souls.
When divided equally, each person would receive over two hundred soul stones and several hundred silver coins.
With those soul fragments included, today's gains far exceeded expectations.
"Wow, so many soul stones! This is almost as much as what I gained in the previous two or three days!" Xia Wanyin said with delight.
A joyful smile appeared on Shen Xing's face.
This blackwater river is simply a perfect leveling spot!
The number of Dark Naga inside is large, and their strength is not too great, so they can be dealt with easily.
You can get a lot of resources by just grinding here for a while.
Of course, Shen Xing knew that this was because they had bait provided by the merchants, which could lure the monsters below up continuously.
Otherwise, you'll have to search slowly along the riverbank.
Not only is it inefficient, but there's also the possibility of unexpected problems.
After happily dividing the spoils, the territory, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, received a significant boost in revenue.
In this way, the children will have the soul stones they need to upgrade.
At that moment, Shen Xing gazed thoughtfully at the Naga corpses strewn across the shore and asked, "What should we do with these corpses?"
He remembered Xia Wanyin saying that these Naga corpses could not be taken away, otherwise it would invite retaliation from other Dark Nagas.
"Just throw them all back into the river."
Xia Wanyin explained softly, "I checked on the forum. Most of these Dark Nagas are not naturally conceived, but are born in the darkness at the bottom of the river."
"Throwing their bodies into the river after they die is like returning them to their mother's embrace."
"That way, the Dark Naga in the river won't hold a grudge against us and hunt us down."
Shen Xing suddenly realized, and then directed the orcs to clean up the battlefield, lifting the corpses on the shallows one by one and dragging them to the shore.
"Splash! Splash!"
A series of splashing sounds rang out as the corpses of Dark Naga crashed onto the water's surface, creating waves before disappearing into the depths of the riverbed.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Shen Xing put away the bait and said, "Then I'll head back now."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Xia Wanyin waved to him, as if two good friends had made a promise to go out and play together the next day.
Shen Xing watched her disappear into the depths of the thick fog, and then slowly moved forward in another direction.
After they left, the black river continued to surge and crash against the jagged rocks, producing a dull thud.
Beneath the surface of the river, a huge shadow swam slowly by.
The shadow was enormous, its outline alone measuring tens of meters.
They swam for a moment in the waters where they had dumped the bodies, then burrowed into the riverbed.
