A month has passed.
The beast tide just started a month ago, lasted only a few days, and was already over, with minimal impact on Miaoshan City.
Now, people from Miaoshan City have begun to establish stations in the forest peaks around Miaoshan City.
Miaoshan is not an ordinary mortal force that simply grows food for food. Many plant seedlings, medicinal seeds, etc. brought by Miaoshan from the Sanhe Rainforest require different environments and cannot be cultivated in the city. They need to be elsewhere. Planting, the exploration team also began to explore mineral veins in the surrounding mountains and forests, because although there are many insects living in the Shiwancong Forest, they are not as everywhere as the Sanhe Rainforest, so the history of the insect catching team is temporarily interrupted. In the future, we may form an expedition team or something like that to explore the Shiwancong Forest for valuable things.
Master Cha and the others are also investigating several volcanic terrains and plan to build a huge weapon refining site.
Even Zhang Changkong withdrew from Miaoshan City and ran to a mountain with countless bamboos as a training place. He sucked up all the vitality plants and the hundreds of thousands of middle-grade vitality stones. Finally, there were some cracks. , a magical seed that looked like it was about to sprout was also planted on the top of the mountain.
Even some magical plants like trees were planted on it.
This peak named Shancha Peak by Zhang Changkong is only average among the peaks of Shiwan Conglin. It is about two thousand meters above the ground. However, the mountain is gentle and the area is large enough. The average radius of the mountainside is about two kilometers. There are few trees on it, and there are countless strange-shaped bamboos growing there. It is a bit special, so it was chosen by Zhang Changkong as a place for future cultivation.
He used his favorite steel ants as the guardian bugs of Shancha Peak and set up footholds on several peaks around Shancha Peak to prevent birds and animals from harming the countless precious plants on Shancha Peak when Zhang Changkong was away.
Ever since the death moth came into being, Zhang Changkong and even the people on Miao Mountain have become much more relaxed. As long as a large number of ferocious beasts rush out from the forest, Zhang Changkong will ride the death moth to release poison. A single move can be detrimental to everything.
Five months passed quickly.
During this period, Zhang Changkong was always busy giving people temporary contract bugs, because after the roads between the twenty cities were opened, many people would return to Miaoshan City and wait for their bugs to die due to various reasons. Zhang Changkong reassigned the insects to them.
Not everything went smoothly during this period. Two cities were attacked by a large number of aliens, and only a few people escaped. This made Miaoshan, which had a small number of people, even more stressed.
Because of this, Zhang Changkong personally brought a large number of insects and went to kill the foreigners around the two cities. To him, these foreigners who did not understand the language were almost like wild beasts, and they killed without mercy.
Although there were a lot of worries, due to a series of communication bugs such as the mother-to-child worms on Miaoshan, the twenty cities managed by Miaoshan finally established a simple wireless communication system to quickly respond to danger. At this time, you can quickly ask for help at all levels. The highest level is Zhang Changkong who personally dispatches.
On this day, Zhang Changkong was practicing in a stone pavilion on Shancha Peak. Suddenly, a windmill dragonfly knight flew towards the top of the peak.
Although the Golden Needle Wasp is not very intelligent, it has stayed with the people and insects on Miao Mountain all year round, so the Golden Needle Wasp did not care about the windmill dragonfly knights, but there are still more than 100,000 black bees on the Camellia Peak, and those black bees have been captured by Zhang Changkong Orders were given to kill all enemies approaching Shan Cha Peak.
Amidst the "buzzing" sound, the windmill dragonfly knight was about to be drowned.
Zhang Changkong thought, and the black bee flew back into the bamboo forest.
A young man jumped off the windmill dragonfly's back in shock, his trembling legs almost unsteady.
"Master Immortal, the eighteen stone pillars in the city are lit up. Manager Liu Wufang asked me to inform you," the young man said and stood aside.
Liu Wufang is also the son of Liu Hong and the brother of Liu Jiufang.
Although Wan Gong and Liu Hong did not leave the Sanhe Rainforest due to their age and the trauma they suffered when they were young, their descendants basically followed them. The families of Yuan Shan, Han Qiuping, and Hao Lei have also developed to a large scale in Miao Mountain.
Now Miaoshan is no longer the Miaoshan of the early years. There are already many small family groups. Mainly because of the contract bugs, the blood ties on Miaoshan have become closer. Although Wanshan and Liu Jiufang succeeded Wan Gong and Liu Hong is relatively famous, but the names of their descendants often appear in many unimportant locations on Miao Mountain.
"Well, you go back first." Zhang Changkong nodded.
After the young knight left, Zhang Changkong did not move.
"I didn't expect that the realm formation would be opened so soon. Moreover, didn't it mean that some mortals would be added to the city? Could it be that the shadow mage saw that I had brought so many mortals here, and there was not even a single mortal in these twenty cities? Gave it to me?"
"This is very difficult to handle. With the number of people in Miao Mountain, when can we send out a large number of expedition teams to 100,000 people from the forest? Is it really necessary to encourage births and wait for 20 to 30 years for the number of people in Miao Mountain to reach more than one million? , just marching towards Shiwan Conglin? Moreover, there are insect farms everywhere, as well as the volcano refinery that is about to be established, and the future mining team. These places will need people. It seems that if there is time, we still have to ask the Master of the Seven Star Sect. Reflect on the shortage of manpower here."
After thinking about this, Zhang Changkong thought that the earth essence had begun to condense in the thirty cities due to the opening of the realm formation. These earth essences were not only fatally attractive to aliens, but also to some alien beasts. Fierce beasts are all attractive.
"If you want to reduce the risk, there is only one way, and that is not to wait for the earth essence in the city to accumulate too much, but to absorb it once every half month. Although this requires frequent running between thirty cities, it is also Not bad." Zhang Changkong said to these.
Moreover, not only his thirty cities, he also asked the people of Miaoshan to send spies to more than twenty surrounding cities to detect the warlocks guarding them. As long as the warlocks guarding them died, he would follow the trend. After collecting the earth essence there, he also brought those cities into his guarding range. As long as the formation nodes in the cities were not destroyed, the mages of the Seven Star Sect would not know who was guarding there.
In fact, three or two warlocks from the surrounding cities came here in the past five months, wanting to visit Zhang Changkong, but Zhang Changkong simply refused to see them in the name of retreat, looking down on them, so Zhang Changkong and them The relationship between them plummeted. Not only them, but also the warlocks they were friendly with didn't want to see Zhang Changkong anymore, so mutual support was impossible. Zhang Changkong didn't take action directly because of the face of his fellow disciples.
In less than half a month, it was only the fifth day that the realm formation was opened. Zhang Changkong's practice was interrupted again, and some cities were already in danger.
