After the territory expanded to its limit, another territory star promotion condition was met, and Chu Xin checked it.
To upgrade a three-star territory, the first three conditions are territory range, the second condition is lord star level, and the third condition is comprehensive power value. The fourth condition, monster group elimination, and the five population condition are not yet completed.
The original territory Chu Xin was sure to be cleaned up, and the problem must have occurred in the newly incorporated territory.
"Let me see where you are hiding!"
Chu Xin's spirit searched the expanded territory. There were less than three alien beasts that would not be judged as a group of monsters or other forces, so it was quite easy for him to find targets.
Soon, he found the target that was judged to be a group of monsters.
Not to mention, there are quite a few, and a small territory is actually full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
Hidden in the pile of rocks in the wilderness to the north is a large nest of fire-tailed scorpions. Each one is the size of a washbasin. Their bodies are red, exuding a fiery aura, and their hooked tails standing upright are as red as a red-hot iron.
The fire poison of the Fire Tail Scorpion is a very powerful poison. Once infected, the fire poison will burn and corrode every inch of the body, making it difficult to remove.
There is also a group of red-capped snakes near them. The number is slightly smaller, about seven or eight, and they have the same poisonous taste as them.
Continuing outside the Bone Burial Ground in the east, a group of scimitar-horned antelopes are grazing. They are very alert. While some of them lower their heads to eat grass, a few of them are standing guard.
The scimitar-horned antelope is a variant of the antelope, with a pair of long, narrow scimitar-like horns that are also as sharp as knives and are their best weapons.
There were probably more than twenty scimitar-horned antelopes in this group. Chu Xin looked at it with hot eyes. This kind of antelope, which is nearly two meters in size, is not very strong. It only has two stars. It should be quite suitable to live in the animal pen.
It seemed that they had only arrived near the territory this morning, otherwise, the ghost wolves scurrying around last night had scared them away who were full of vigilance.
There was also a situation in the south of the territory. Chu Xin found a group of hill rats hiding underground not far from the field. Each one was as big as an adult house cat and very fat.
Qiu Shu is a common one-star strange beast in the wasteland. It is cautious and timid. Like a certain battlefield lord, it likes to hide underground.
Chu Xin suspected that they were the culprits responsible for the destruction of young crops in the fields.
Generally speaking, there are currently only four groups of alien beasts in the territory, but this is not fixed, and new groups of alien beasts may break in at any time.
Therefore, if the Chu Xin Territory wants to rise to the star level, it needs to guard the borders of the territory during promotion, otherwise the promotion process will be easily blocked.
"Come on, I'll give you a sweet dream that you won't be able to wake up from!" Chu Xin controlled the Yunmeng dream and spread it around the territory.
But soon, a problem arose. After the Yunmeng Realm spread to about three kilometers, it could no longer expand.
After all, Yunmeng Realm has just been built and cannot completely cover Chu Xin's territory. Otherwise, these four groups of strange beasts can be easily captured or hunted in minutes.
Although Yunmeng Realm is currently growing, this growth will still take a long time. Chu Xin can only use the territory's troops to destroy or expel these strange beasts.
As the first target, Chu Xin placed the scimitar-horned antelope that he was most interested in.
Taking into account the opponent's alert character, Chu Xin did not take action rashly, but took the lead in setting up an encirclement.
Red-winged tigers, dark moon werewolves, ghost wolves, and yellow scarf magicians all went into battle. Cao Tuan and Iron Scales were also called over. Chu Xin wanted to kill all these scimitar-horned antelopes this time.
Chu Xin even considered whether to let Tie Lin dig a huge pit in the ground and use a wave of land sinking techniques to trap the group of scimitar-horned antelopes.
But after thinking about it, it was in my own territory. It was easy to destroy but difficult to build. It would be difficult to fill up the huge hole dug in the future. Moreover, these were only more than 20 scimitar horned antelopes, so there was no need to go so far.
"superior!"
After giving the order, the first thing to attack was the grass ball, and dozens or hundreds of vines sprang out from the ground crazily.
But the scimitar-horned antelopes had felt the vibrations in the ground in advance. Realizing the crisis, they quickly fled away.
Whoops!
The sweeping black wind blocked their path forward, and several scimitar-horned antelopes that could not brake quickly crashed into it and soon disappeared.
The scimitar-horned antelopes behind them turned in dangerous turns and continued to flee. The four giant tigers, exuding the majesty of the king of beasts, swooped down from the air and knocked them down.
The shadow swarmed up with the ghost wolves and quickly controlled dozens of scimitar-horned antelopes.
But there are still five scimitar-horned antelopes that escaped from the encirclement of the ghost wolves. The strong antelopes can survive if they run fast, and the sick and weak antelopes that run slowly will be eaten. This is the cruel survival law of nature. .
But today, they are not so lucky.
The five wolf shadows shuttled forward quickly, and soon caught up with the scimitar-horned antelopes that had escaped from the encirclement. With a roar, they flew up from the ground and landed firmly on the antelopes.
"Bang bang bang"!
The Dark Moon Werewolf slapped its claws on the head of the scimitar horned antelope that was still trying to escape, knocking it half unconscious, and then stopped them from continuing to escape.
These horned antelopes have a strong will to survive and are always trying to escape. Chu Xin had no choice but to let the grass balls tie them up.
"Twenty-three, 19 are adults, which is pretty good." After counting the results, Chu Xin was quite satisfied, but he didn't know whether Wuli was qualified for the project of breeding scimitar-horned antelopes.
At the same time, there is another problem. These scimitar-horned antelopes are wild and difficult to tame, and it may not be easy to transform them into territorial cultivated species in a short period of time.
Chu Xin asked Cao Tuan to escort them all to the animal pen. Because he was worried about them escaping or rioting, he asked the red-winged tiger to follow them.
With five red-winged tigers guarding them, and the animal pen more than two meters high, they shouldn't be able to escape so easily.
The main goal is accomplished, and the next step is the group of hill rats. As for the fire-tailed scorpions and red-capped snakes, these two are considered the easiest and have little to do with the interests of the territory. They can be eliminated or driven away.
To deal with Qiu Shu, a creature that hides underground, Chu Xin mainly relies on grass balls and mountain bears.
Back in the mountain bear tribe dungeon, Chu Xin had personally experienced that mountain bears had the ability to attack underground.
They can launch earth thorns, and they can also manipulate the earth element to squeeze a certain space.
"The grass ball checked for leaks and filled the gaps, and the mountain bears worked together to squeeze out the earth elements, trying to catch them all in one pot." Chu Xin quickly arranged the arrangements. He hoped to clear out these mice in one wave as much as possible.
Rats have one of the most common traits, and that is their amazing reproductive capacity. If they don't get rid of them all today, they may double their size in a few days.
The grass balls quickly dived into the ground to get ready, while the mountain bear, pretending to be walking in sheep's guise to look for food, moved little by little towards the gathering place of the mountain rats.
The group of hill rats soon noticed the mountain bear on the ground, but they were not worried. Bears are creatures that do not go underground to look for food.
But accidents happen!
In the Qiu Shu's cave, countless pieces of soil suddenly squeezed in crazily, and in an instant, all the Qiu Rats in the cave were lumped together in the middle.
The accident happened so fast that not a single hill rat could react, and was wiped out by the mountain bear in one go, leaving the waiting grass ball alone.
After exterminating the group of Qiu rats, Chu Xin felt a little sad. It was not easy to farm in this dark place. People on the ground should be careful, and people in the sky should also pay attention. Now there are people who are causing trouble underground.
Although the dreamy cloud can cover the field area, it only cares about the situation on the ground and in the sky. After all, the fog cannot penetrate into the ground.
This is also a weakness of Yunmeng Realm. It cannot take into account the underground to achieve all-round defense.
Chu Xin thought for a while and simply arranged four mountain bears here to guard the fields.
The two major hidden dangers were resolved, and the only ones left were the fire-tailed scorpion and the red-topped snake.
Chu Xin sent a combined army of ghost wolves and yellow scarf magicians. The ghost wolves have undead physique and are not afraid of the poison of fire-tailed scorpions, and the yellow scarf magicians have long-range lightning strikes. They cooperated to clear these two places easily.
"Tip, you have collected the current resource points. The resource points have been exhausted and disappeared. You have obtained the four-star stone resource heart."
A prompt sounded suddenly. It turned out that the golden man outside had finally completed his collection task and collected all the few remaining resource points in the stone mine.
The resource points on the map are based on reality. The stone resource point chosen by Chu Xin is located further to the west of the Gray Fang Tribe. It should have been collected by them a lot before, with only more than 500 units left.
It is very rare that the golden villain has gained a heart of resources.
When there was a shortage of stone ore, I looked everywhere for it. Now that there is no shortage, everything came in one go, and two resource hearts were spawned one after another in one day.
However, since stone mines are related to watchtowers, the more the better, so Chu Xin casually built them on the map.
This is the fifth resource point in the territory and the only four-star resource point. It has a total of 2,000 units of stone ore reserves. After the territory's resource production bonus, 15 units can be automatically restored every hour.
In other words, at least 360 units of stone ore can be stably produced every day.
Chu Xin dispatched the currently formed gray goblin collection brigade. Their current and future mission is to collect these resource points.
"Cuckoo"!
There was a sound in her stomach, and Chu Xin came to the kitchen. Tucker, the pig-headed cook, had already prepared breakfast.
I haven’t seen her for a while, but the pig-headed cook seems to be much stronger and she eats less.
Chu Xin didn't care much about this. As long as the other party did his job well and arranged his three meals a day and the food for other slaves in the territory, he wouldn't care about this little food.
However, planting, breeding, and hunting in the territory must be carried out as soon as possible. Although he grabbed a small lord's warehouse and had a lot of accumulated grain, he couldn't just sit back and have nothing.
Nowadays, the territorial team is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more food and grass need to be consumed every day. It may be difficult for the breeding in the animal pen to reach a large scale in a short time. However, if it does not work, the fish meat in the fish pond should still be able to support it. Some time ago.
Chu Xin actually hopes to build a large ranch, but there are no conditions in the wilderness. Let's see if the construction drawings of the ranch can be drawn up later.
While the ghost wolves were killing the fire-tailed scorpions, Chu Xin took out the refugee recruitment order and started recruiting refugees.
As long as the ghost wolves complete the mission of eradication and the population reaches the target, the territory will be promoted to three stars immediately.
"Tip, you used the refugee recruitment order, and 10 refugees appeared in the territory."
"Tip, you used the refugee recruitment order, and 10 refugees appeared in the territory."
"Tip, you used the refugee recruitment order, and 10 refugees appeared in the territory."
…
In one breath, Chu Xin recruited 90 refugees, and a large crowd of people came to the square outside the camp.
These people all had disheveled hair and green eyes, and they looked like they had been hungry for many days.
Chu Xin called the remaining Dark Moon Werewolves, Panda Warriors and other soldiers in the territory to stand for him. The appearance of these people was so terrifying that they felt like they were about to eat people.
Unlike soldiers, these refugees are individuals with their own thoughts, and Chu Xin doesn't know where they come from.
Now, this group of refugees does not belong to his territory for the time being. They are just wandering here temporarily. If Chu Xin cannot keep them, they will leave soon.
Of course, Chu Xin would never give this group of refugees a chance to leave with all the troops around them watching.
"Cook porridge quickly and prepare some food for these people." Chu Xin ordered Tucker.
Gaining the loyalty of these refugees is easy. As long as they are fed, they will quickly develop a sense of identity with the territory.
"Hello everyone, I am the lord here, welcome you to my territory." Chu Xin stood in the square, glanced at the numb and sullen eyes below, he coughed, and continued: "Everyone, please be safe. Don't worry, I've already asked people to prepare food, and everyone will be full soon."
There was a restlessness in the crowd. Sure enough, what they were most concerned about was food.
"But since everyone comes to my place, you must abide by my rules."
The crowd regained its lifeless energy, and Chu Xin simply stopped talking. There was no food in sight, and it was useless no matter how much he said.
Taking advantage of this time, Chu Xin checked the information of this group of people. There was a certain chance that special technical talents would appear among the refugees. Chu Xin wanted to see if he had such luck.
To be fair, there are nine refugee recruitment orders, a total of ninety people, not one at all.
[Human Refugee]: One star LV3, ability (primary gambling skill), status (hungry)
[Human Refugee]: One-star LV6, ability (elementary planting, entry-level land reclamation), status (hungry)
[Human Refugee]: One star LV5, ability (junior tailor), status (hungry)
…
[Human Pharmacist]: One-star LV9, ability (primary pharmacy), status (hungry)
…
[Human Refugee]: One star LV10, ability (junior management, junior eloquence), status (hunger). Tip: The village chief of a small village once fled here for unknown reasons.
…
Among the 90 new refugees, Chu Xin unexpectedly discovered many talents. The one he liked most was a refugee who had both management and eloquence abilities.
Looking at the introduction, this man was once the village chief of a certain village.
Now his territory is in great need of such management talents, especially since the number of people will continue to increase in the future, and his territory cannot be all composed of military services. He needs a talent like this who can assist him in territory management.
Although he is a little worse than a small village chief, he is enough to cope with the current situation.
In addition, the pharmacist is pretty good. Chu Xin happens to have the formula for the healing potion. At the same time, there is no shortage of purple blood vine as the main material. By then, the healing potion can be mass-produced.
