The growth and reproduction of insects have been studied by many people in Miaoshan and found that in addition to the environment, they also need many unique plants in the Sanhe Rainforest.
Miaoshan has now developed more than ten kinds of insect breeding conditions, which can stably obtain insect eggs.
Unfortunately, there has been no progress in the research on zerg, and even the golden scarab female that has lived on Miao Mountain for three years has not laid eggs again.
Finally, we came to a conjecture that the zerg may need plants containing vitality as food to be cultivated, and the golden scarab female also needs this kind of food.
This is one of the reasons why Zhang Changkong decided to develop the Sanhe Rainforest.
The second reason is that the vitality concentration outside the Sanhe Rainforest is too low. He wants to enter the Sanhe Rainforest to find a mountain with a vitality node as a place to practice. Of course, this is only the best situation. At a later time, he can find an unformed place. The place of vitality node.
These places with high concentration of vitality can not only improve the efficiency of cultivation, but also plant plants containing vitality.
If he can find some rare plants, he can learn to refine elixirs when he reaches the level of a mage.
Another extravagant hope is that I hope to be lucky enough to find a vitality stone vein in the Sanhe Rainforest. Zhang Changkong believes that there must be vitality mineral veins in the three inaccessible rainforests, because there are vitality stone veins near many vitality nodes, just like the Xiangshan Sect. There is a large vitality stone vein inside.
There was a shady place with big trees and a small river passing by. There were many fallen leaves on the ground and the air was very humid. There seemed to be mist between the trees blocking the sunlight.
A long team, with many people pulling horses, arrived here. It was Zhang Changkong and his team who officially started to develop the Sanhe Rainforest.
"This is the location you selected? The environment is not very good."
Zhang Changkong sat on top of the tusk pig and said to Wan Gong who was riding a wildebeest next to him.
"This is the best place within a few miles. There is water and you can find some fungi for food. It is very suitable for long-term settlement." Wan Gong looked tired. It has been a month since they set off.
Due to the insect tide, the insects opened a road for them that leads directly to the inner area of the Sanhe Rainforest for a day. This insect road is not the one in the west direction of the river, but the direction of a common defense line during the insect tide. Because the insects on this line of defense Many of them are crawling species, so Zhang Changkong deliberately chose this road. As Zhang Changkong expected, this insect road rarely needs to pass through rivers. The plants and even stones on the road are chewed to pieces by the insects, which saves a lot of money. With their strength in clearing and organizing roads, they could probably walk several miles a day. Now a month has passed and they have gone more than a hundred miles deep into the rainforest.
For fear of getting lost or considering supplies, Zhang Changkong not only left many stopping points along the way, but also simply tidied up the road, that is, paving a two-meter-wide gravel road with stones to allow carriages to pass.
"Master Immortal, we may not have enough manpower if we go deeper for about a hundred miles."
Wan Gong said with some concern.
Zhang Changkong heard that this was indeed a problem. Now he designed a station about ten miles away as a supply station. Each station was defended by three strongmen leading thirty ordinary people. Of course, after three years, the ordinary people on Miao Mountain Most contracted one or two bugs and could barely get a foothold in the rainforest. Thirty-three people in one station plus almost a hundred bugs under their command were enough to protect themselves as long as they did not encounter zerg or large insect swarms. And this kind of station Fifteen have been established.
Of course, even after the insect tide, the density of insects on the periphery of the Sanhe Rainforest has dropped a lot, but hundreds of people have died in the Sanhe Rainforest this month.
Fortunately, most of the "sinners" on Miao Mountain were young men recruited from Rainstorm City, otherwise Zhang Changkong would have fewer people to use.
Now that the people in Miao Mountain are in their prime, it is a good time to expand, so Zhang Changkong made a decisive decision to develop the Sanhe Rainforest immediately.
"Are you talking about the lack of warriors? How is Miao Shan's recruitment of warriors in Rainstorm City?"
There are more than 50,000 people on Miao Mountain, and there are less than 500 strong men. There are more than 40 people left to garrison in front. Most of these people are from the insect catching team and the escort team, and the vanguard of the expansion also needs a lot of strong men. After all, Zhang Changkong One person cannot take care of everything. If there are no strong men, the casualties of ordinary people will be even more serious.
"Recruiting warriors in Heavy Rain City basically had no results. After the insect wave ended, many of the recruited warriors chose to go home, and some stayed in Heavy Rain City. However, they showed little interest in our recruitment in Miaoshan. Firstly, We can't come up with conditions that make them happy. Secondly, the Sanhe Rainforest is too dangerous and many strong people are unwilling to come here to expand." Wan Gong thought, if it weren't for the fact that the people on Miao Mountain are sinners and have no right to refuse, I'm afraid it would be too bad. No one would follow the Immortal Master into the Three Rivers Rainforest. Well, he himself was unwilling, but the Immortal Master didn't ask his opinion, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Also, after so long, I asked you to go to Sanhe Prefecture to look for prospecting talents. It's been a month and you still haven't found them?"
Zhang Changkong was somewhat dissatisfied with the efficiency of Wan Gong's work. Naturally, he would not give up on the expansion of the Sanhe Rainforest. There was not much achieved yet. If he gave up, wouldn't this month's hard work be wasted?
"Well, when other people heard that they were going to search for mineral veins in the Sanhe Rainforest, they were not willing to do it." Wan Gong looked aggrieved and said to himself, if you hadn't said that you wanted others to come here voluntarily, not to mention one, even ten of them would have been tied back to you. .
Zhang Changkong thought about it and felt that this was too inefficient. He was a newcomer with no foundation in Rainstorm City. This kind of thing still required the cooperation of local cowards, and the City Lord's Mansion was the biggest local coven. To be honest, Zhang Changkong had already I have considered finding someone to develop the Sanhe Rainforest together, but he is doing it for bugs and cultivation. The most benefits others can get from the Sanhe Rainforest are the mineral deposits that may be discovered. And if he cooperates with others, if he gets lucky and discovers vitality, The mine is known to the City Lord's Mansion, so does it belong to him or the Xiangshan Sect? He said it was up to him, but the Xiangshan Sect might not agree. If he belonged to the Xiangshan Sect, why was he working so hard now? Although he had eaten so much rice from the Xiangshan Sect, it was not worth paying for a vein of vitality.
Well, just in case, Zhang Changkong decided to do it alone no matter how hard and tiring it was. If he discovered something then, he would be able to make a fortune alone.
But if you don’t cooperate with others, you can consider borrowing power, right?
He, Zhang Changkong, can be regarded as the guarding warlock of Heavy Rain City, and after Cheng Lianyue and the others left and before the Xiangshan Sect sent new people to arrive, it would not be an exaggeration to call him Zhang Changkong's Dinghai Shenzhen of Heavy Rain City. He can't do anything too much, right?
Zhang Changkong believed that the City Lord's Mansion would still give him some convenience for possible future cooperation between them.
"Wan Gong, in addition to recruiting strong men, if you encounter difficulties in the future, you can use my name to go to the City Lord's Mansion for help. I believe the City Lord's Mansion is very good at finding people like this. You have to remember that I am not in Sanhe If I get what I need in the rainforest, I will never stop moving forward. No matter how great the sacrifice is, no matter how much you pay, you must persevere. You must also have this belief. No matter what difficulties you encounter, don’t report to me, but learn to solve them yourself. , If you can't solve it yourself, go to the City Lord's Mansion. If the City Lord's Mansion can't solve it, go to someone you can find. If you really can't solve it in the end, come to me again, do you understand?"
Zhang Changkong hoped that Wan Gong could be more reliable, at least until he found someone who could replace Wan Gong, so he wouldn't have to worry about everything.
"I understand, Master Immortal." Wan Gong rolled his eyes and thought of many things. If the City Lord's Mansion came forward, many problems would no longer be a problem.
"Master Immortal, General Manager Wan, the Yinchongyan layout has been completed, the defense system is well prepared, and there is no problem with the retreat route."
A team leader from the insect catching team came over to report: "Captain Liu asked me to ask when to light the insect attractant smoke."
"Okay, before it gets too late, clean up the bugs around the station as soon as possible. Check the surroundings again tomorrow. If there are no major problems, set out as soon as possible. After a month, a lot of weeds have grown on the bug road. If there are one or two more month, it will be more difficult for us to move forward.”
Zhang Changkong stopped talking nonsense. Resting now is not much different from killing all the insects around the station and then resting again, unless there are several insect swarms around and attract too many insects.
But having done this task of cleaning up bugs around the station more than ten times, Zhang Changkong didn't think anything unexpected would happen.
Following Zhang Changkong's order, the entire team of thousands of people prepared for battle. The solemn atmosphere before the battle seemed to have caused the temperature in the already dark forest to drop a few degrees.
