Near noon, it began to rain heavily.
In the territory, the pouring rain made the ground muddy, and farmers and herdsmen stayed in their houses to take shelter from the rain.
Chu Xin sat by the window, staring at the rain outside in a daze.
This is the third time it has rained since he came to the Dark Land. Speaking of which, it doesn't rain very frequently here.
Rain is a good thing, as it can bring sufficient moisture to the fields in the territory and reduce the irrigation pressure on farmers.
This rain seems to be more than just rain, it seems to also have a sudden drop in temperature.
Chu Xin clearly felt that the temperature had dropped by dozens of degrees, as if it had gone from midsummer to winter in a second.
In the thatched house, the farmers huddled up inside, obviously feeling the attack of low temperature.
Could it be that the dark land is about to enter winter?
For a long time, the four seasons represented by the dark land were not clear, and the temperature had always been relatively sunny and hot to Chu Xin. Unexpectedly, the temperature suddenly started to drop.
This is a very serious problem, and if winter really comes, there are many issues to consider.
The survival of the crops in the fields, the heating of the residents... all aspects of the issue are what Chu Xin needs to consider.
Especially for the people in the territory, it is not easy to gather such a large population in his territory. It would be too unfair if they all freeze to death in the winter.
Chu Xin, who attached great importance to this issue, immediately summoned Ron, Habi, Wuli and others to discuss the matter.
Some of them must have been in the Dark Land more or less. They may not understand the causes of the Dark Land, but they should still have some understanding of seasonal changes.
"The temperature is dropping very fast today. Which of you has been in a dark place before? Is it going to be winter?" Chu Xin asked the doubt in his heart.
Ron smoothed his short gray beard and shook his head. He hadn't figured out what the dark place was yet, so naturally he couldn't express his opinion.
Habi and Uli couldn't explain the reason. It was their first time coming to the Dark Land, so naturally they didn't know the climate changes here.
In fact, they don't have a clear impression of where they are now.
But it was at Bingmeng's place that Chu Xin unexpectedly learned the answer.
"Every time the temperature drops suddenly, from hot to cold, it is a sign of winter. But there is still more than a month until winter actually starts, so you have to hurry up and prepare." Bingmeng held a baby in her paws He said while eating the dried fish that was fried to a crispy brown color.
Recently, he fell in love with this snack that is easy to store and has a crispy texture. He begged Tucker to fry a big pot and took out one or two to eat when he had nothing to do.
"Only more than a month?" Chu Xin frowned. This time came much faster than he expected.
Entering winter, the territory faces many challenges.
Most crops have poor cold tolerance, and there are not many crops that can be grown. The only options are radish and cabbage. As for wheat, although it is a crop with a certain degree of cold tolerance, it is highly likely that it will be difficult to survive at low temperatures without cultivar cultivation. .
Food shortage is the first problem that the territory needs to face.
Moreover, all kinds of exotic animals will become inactive in winter, and hunting efficiency will be very poor.
The second problem is the problem of low temperature insulation.
On the one hand, there are humans, who lack warm clothes and bedding; on the other hand, there are animals, who wonder whether they can survive in low temperatures.
The problem of keeping people warm here can be solved by building residential buildings attached to the black castle, which only consumes a lot of resources.
Residential houses have their own temperature regulation capabilities. If winter comes, as long as you stay inside, there won't be much of a problem.
As for livestock, there are many things to consider. If the temperature is too low, you may have to build some residential houses for them...
I have a headache!
Ron and others also looked worried. Winter is by no means a beautiful season for them, and they have too many painful memories.
Severe cold, hunger... almost every one of them has had painful memories of one kind or another.
"Let me know, collect more withered grass and dry firewood for storage. I will try my best to get some animal skins, and then harvest what can be harvested in the field quickly, and rush to plant another season." Chu Xin rubbed his eyebrows and said.
He thought for a while and added: "If you have any good experience or methods, you can also tell me -"
Chu Xin's expression suddenly changed as he was speaking, and the rushing sound of the territorial tree rang in his ears.
"Lord, the collection team was attacked!"
"Which one?" Chu Xin asked quickly.
"To the southwest." The territorial tree quickly gave the answer.
"Green Goblin Warrior, resource point four?"
Several teams that go to forest farms to cut wood all carry the roots of a territorial tree, and the territorial tree can have a certain connection with these roots.
The roots are carried by the leading captain and survive in a semi-parasitic state. They only need a weak life energy to survive every day.
Once the supply of life energy is lost, the roots will die quickly.
Based on this, the Territory Tree judged that the gathering team had been attacked.
Unfortunately, because the strength of the territory tree is still too weak, we can only judge based on the survival status of the roots, and it is impossible to know what the situation is at the scene.
A wandering alien tribe, or an alien beast?
Being able to kill a four-star Green Goblin warrior who leads a large number of Three-star Green Goblin, his strength should not be too weak.
But no matter what it is, it must be cleaned up, because the fourth resource point is only 25 kilometers away from the territory, which is not too far away.
Winter is coming soon. During this month, the territory will definitely send out a large number of teams to collect resources around. If they keep the opponent, I don't know how many outgoing teams will be attacked.
Chu Xin controlled the golden man to get closer first. At the same time, the Dark Moon Werewolf team and the Shesheng Battalion team began to gather in the territory.
The golden villain, who has been strengthened many times, has a field of vision of five kilometers and moves extremely fast.
In less than twenty minutes, the scene in the four-star resource point appeared in the golden villain's field of vision.
Not a single Green Goblin was left in the forest, only a large amount of timber resources were left piled in it. As for the attackers, they stayed in the forest without leaving.
[Iron Dragon Harut]: Dragon type, seven-star LV56, ability (dragon breath breath,???,???), status (suffering from ghost dragon curse, aging, weakening, hunger).
Uh-huh?
I read that right, a giant dragon, and a dragon whose strength has been reduced due to a curse! ! !
Then I won't be sleepy at all.
You kill my entire Green Goblin collection team, and I kill you and bring you back to work for me as osteoderms. This isn't too much, right?
Chu Xin was thinking in her mind, but she didn't have a good plan yet on how to act.
He knew that Iron Dragon was a lower-ranking dragon among the giant dragons. Most of its strength was concentrated in its powerful body, and its strength in other aspects was very weak.
As for the ghost dragon, Chu Xin also knew that it was mentioned in the book "The Rise of the Skeleton King" that he liked to read on Friday, and that it was a high-level ghost undead.
Contrary to the bone dragon, it is a special undead that is transformed into a special undead soul by the dragon soul under certain circumstances after the dragon dies.
Ghost dragons are good at curses, and even have a strong aging curse aura around their bodies. Any non-undead creature will suffer a continuous loss of vitality after entering.
All dragons will kill any undead dragon on sight.
Because in their view, this is a blasphemy against the body of the noble dragon, and the only way is to destroy it.
I wonder what happened to that ghost dragon?
Chu Xin carefully controlled the golden man to search again near the iron dragon. No trace of the ghost dragon was found within a radius of fifty kilometers.
I don’t know if he was killed by Iron Dragon or if he escaped.
Logically speaking, this should not be the case. The ghost dragon itself is a semi-ghost undead, and is not afraid of dragons like the iron dragon that rely purely on physical power.
The curse of the ghost dragon is continuous and irreversible, which means that the strength of this iron dragon is still declining.
But this is a giant dragon after all. If we really want to attack it, Cao Tuan must call him back. The skinny camel is bigger than the horse, so we still can't take anything lightly.
At the moment, Caotuan's business trip is not over yet, and Chu Xin really doesn't dare to take action against Tie Long here.
Most of the dragons' defense capabilities are not weak. Legal creatures like Bing Meng do not have much advantage against them. Grass balls with a large number of rattans that can quickly bind the target are more suitable.
…………
Iron Dragon Harut has been very agitated recently. It used to occupy a huge mountain range and ate and slept on countless financial reports every day. It lived a comfortable life.
Not long ago, while it was sleeping, it suddenly felt a large amount of undead aura pouring into its territory.
Harut, who was very angry after getting up, attacked angrily from the cave, chasing and clearing out all these undead.
Unexpectedly, he was suddenly attacked by several high-level undead, including ghost dragons, death knights, dark spirits... The terrifying attacks instantly made him realize that something was wrong.
In desperation, Harut forced his way out of the encirclement and fled. He flew a hundred or two hundred kilometers and finally landed in this forest.
Originally seeing a group of green-skinned monsters, it was going to eat two to satisfy its hunger, but as soon as it took one mouthful, the green-skinned monsters disappeared into its mouth like bubbles.
I don’t know if it was just one of them, but everyone was like this, but it made Harut so angry that he was still hungry and wasted a lot of energy.
"I'm so hungry. If only that food would be willing to walk into my mouth." Harut lay on the ground, thinking feebly.
It was originally a salty fish dragon. It sneaked out because it couldn't bear the huge study pressure on Longya. It slipped away to another world and found a mountain. It has lived a leisurely life for hundreds of years. Zai.
Unexpectedly, such a beautiful life would be ruined by a group of undead today.
Harut was furious when he thought of this, but he didn't want to take revenge at all. He just wanted to find another mountain to hide in.
That group of undead was really terrifying. Now it was vaguely coming back to its senses. The other party must be greedy for its own body and wanted to transform itself into an undead dragon.
It's a good thing that he escaped quickly, otherwise he would become that kind of stupid dragon with no reproductive function in the future.
"Gu Gu", bursts of thunder rang out, and Harut made a bitter look on his face. He was so hungry, but his body was so tired and he really wanted to rest. What should he do?
With such contradictory thoughts, Harut started snoring after a while.
As long as you fall asleep, you will not be hungry in your dreams. This is the personal experience summarized by Harut, who has hundreds of years of life experience. It is very useful.
On the other side, Chu Xin hooked up with the grass ball.
There was finally some movement on Clayman's side. After negotiating with the orc tribe, they got the opportunity to borrow a passage from the orcs after paying a certain price.
It is true that there are high-star strong men in the orc tribe, but Clayman is not weak either. The other party is not willing to offend such a powerful enemy, especially since Clayman also gave him a gift very politely.
Hearing the news from Cao Tuan, Chu Xin almost became angry.
What kind of person is this? The orc tribe is very powerful, so they don’t dare to provoke and give gifts. When it’s his turn, he will come up to either lure monsters or engage in duels.
You have to be willing to talk nicely from the beginning, and it's not impossible to talk about giving more artifacts, forbidden curse scrolls, etc.
The deal between the two parties has been initially reached, and Kleiman will be preparing to leave soon.
Of course, Chu Xin would not watch such a situation happen. It might be difficult to kill Clayman now, but at least, he still had to disgust him, and it would be best to get the storage ring in his hand.
Well, he just thought about the storage ring.
"Later, use the spiritual cane to kill an orc at the position closest to the orc tribe in Clayman, and then run away after the sneak attack." Chu Xin told Cao Tuan.
The injured Tie Long was waiting here, and Chu Xin didn't intend to let the grass ball continue to waste time looking for opportunities.
Finally, give Clayman a small gift and that’s the end.
The tiger leader of the orc tribe, with a fake smile on his face, stood outside the tribe and watched Clayman and others approaching.
In fact, their hearts were not relaxed at all. At least before Clayman and others left, they were extremely vigilant.
The human race has always been synonymous with cunning among many races, and there is no guarantee that they will not suddenly launch a sneak attack.
The distance between the two sides gradually approached. In the underground space, the grass ball had shrunk very deep into the ground. Only a vine made of pure spiritual power was left, quietly waiting for an opportunity in the soil.
This rattan was produced after swallowing the mother body of the Seven Stars' Abyss Dream Weaver. It possesses extremely powerful spiritual power, but Cao Tuan's use of it is still at a very low level.
Chu Xin taught him over and over again, and now he has learned the ability to use mental power to shield the breath.
The grass ball's rattan is an extremely inconspicuous target, and coupled with its own mental shielding, although there are two seven-star masters on the field, no one is aware of the existence of its rattan.
Everything is ready, all we need is an east wind.
Seeing Clayman and the Orc tribe approaching gradually, Chu Xin smiled broadly, but the next second, the smile froze.
