Chu Xin has never thought about things as far away as Jiuxing. For him, the most important thing at the moment is to be a good lord of this little lord and guard his own three-acre land.
It's just that the Dark Land is really not a place suitable for retirement. Zerg, undead, abyss, humans... there are too many racial forces coveting this place.
War and plunder are very common things here. If you don't provoke others, you will be provoked by others sooner or later.
If Chu Xin wants to continue to be stable and not be disturbed by others, there is only one way, and that is to completely occupy this dark place once and for all. Then, relying on the space concealment of the Dark Castle, this place was completely transformed into a paradise that no force could find.
The method is a good one, but the amount of work is unimaginably large.
Let’s not talk about the far side, just talk about the nearby area. In the area where the territory is located, there are six-star feathered tribes and three five-star territories. They are all races with intelligent civilization.
It is not easy for Chu Xin to clear them out.
However, these are all things after the cold winter. Regarding this matter, he now has some general ideas in his heart, but how to implement it remains to be planned in detail later.
The snow falling outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and the entire territory turned into a vast expanse of white. Only some buildings could be vaguely distinguished from their outlines.
But for the fish ponds and pastures in the territory, there is a transparent protective cover on the surface, and not a single snowflake can drift in.
Therefore, the temperature in these buildings has always remained normal, as warm as spring, and has not affected the growth of the animals and fish.
The impact is definitely there. Although the snowflakes are blocked, they are not moved to other places. Instead, they gradually slide down the protective shield. Over time, these pastures will gradually be covered by it.
If the ranch staff wanted to work inside, they would first have to find a way to clear away the layer of snow outside and clear a passage.
Yinhe will arrange for people to handle these trivial matters, so Chu Xin doesn't have to worry about them.
The temperature has continued to drop. It is more than 20 degrees below zero outside the castle. It can be said that dripping water turns into ice. Chu Xin also truly experienced the joy of pouring a cup of hot water and having it freeze into ice in an instant.
It’s really fun to play, but it’s also really cold.
Under the ultra-low temperature, Chu Xin has been nesting in the castle for several days. These days, he has not left the castle for training, eating and entertainment.
However, if you stay in the castle for a long time, you will inevitably feel a little bored.
He decided to go for a walk outside, and his destination was the Green Goblin Forest, which maintained its original climate characteristics and was not affected by heavy snow. It was considered a resort.
Chu Xin wrapped herself in the tiger fur coat and stepped out of the castle gate.
A burst of extremely cold air hit him head-on, pouring down his collar, making people feel a biting chill.
There was a thick layer of snow on the ground, which creaked when he stepped on it. Chu Xin walked on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and a different kind of charm filled his heart.
But this feeling disappears as time goes by.
Chu Xin was already prepared for this. He called for a dozen ghost wolves, took out a wooden sled from the warehouse, and put it on the ghost wolves.
"let's go!"
With a whistle, the ghost wolves began to run forward. Chu Xin lay half on the sled and took off instantly.
The ghost wolves were very fast, and the snow on the ground did not have a great impact on their running. Chu Xin rode the sled and flew towards the vast snowy area like an arrow from the string.
Looking at the receding scenery and feeling the snowflakes flying far away, it didn't take long for Chu Xin to arrive outside the Green Devil Forest.
Letting the ghost wolves wait outside the forest, he stepped into the Green Goblin Forest alone. This place has hunting teams and gathering teams working in it every day, and the existing threats have been basically eliminated.
Even if there are still some strange beasts left, they do not pose much of a threat to Chu Xin, who has reached the peak of five-star strength, so there is no need to be overly cautious.
As soon as he stepped into the Green Devil Forest, the coldness of the outside world disappeared immediately, and bursts of warm and humid air with the aroma of grass and trees hit his face. Under the alternation of hot and cold, Chu Xin, who was wrapped in a tiger fur coat, felt a turbulent heat in his heart for no reason. meaning.
He casually took off his tiger fur coat. This equipment was no longer suitable for this environment.
After simply adapting to the environment, Chu Xin continued walking inside. He came to the Green Devil Forest today. His goal was to find a few fruit trees in the forest and then find a way to transplant them back to his territory.
People's desires always increase step by step. For other lords, they may long for a piece of land, but for Chu Xin, his desire is that after eating beef, he starts to crave after-dinner fruits.
His desire for expansion has never been strong, and now he is forced to start plotting to conquer the Dark Land just for the sake of safety. Of course, the most important thing now is the fruit after dinner.
The two forests were built next to each other, and now they are almost half-integrated. However, the territorial architecture shows that they are still two independent forests.
After continuous growth during this period, the Green Devil Forest's area has fully doubled, and its product resources have become more abundant.
Every day, the number of exotic animals and plant resources in the forest will increase through a strange rule. Although gathering teams and hunting teams often enter the Green Goblin Forest, the resources there are still very rich.
Chu Xin's target fruit trees today are Tangli trees and a fruit tree that is similar to chestnut but is called a thorn ball.
Tang pear is a wild pear with a spherical shape and a gray-brown peel with many spots on it.
The thorn ball is a green sphere, somewhat similar to the chestnut ball that has not yet exploded. It is full of slender spikes, which are very sharp and can easily pierce the skin. But unlike chestnuts, you can eat the crispy white flesh inside the thorn ball after you peel it off. After the chestnut ball is peeled off, there is still a layer of brown shell.
Chu Xin discovered these two fruits when they were brought to them during dinner yesterday. After asking, she found out that they were collected from the Green Devil Forest.
During today's expedition, Chu Xin took the search for two types of wild fruit trees as his ultimate goal.
The forest floor was covered with a thin layer of leaves, which made a rustling sound when stepped on.
Chu Xin did not rely on his own strength to run rampant in the forest. Instead, he stepped forward lightly with a little vigilance and walked slowly in the forest.
The ultimate mission goal is to find fruit trees, but it also carries a secondary mission goal, which is to discover and hunt strange beasts in the forest without spreading mental perception.
This is not only a kind of exercise, but also a small game designed by Chu Xin, who is too idle to panic. After all, it is too boring to explore the map and grind dungeons all day long.
The branches and leaves in the forest are staggered, the big trees provide shade, and the clouds in the sky make the forest look very dark.
Less than twenty minutes after entering the forest, Chu Xin saw a gray-black wild boar rushing out, a black-haired pig, a cute little bad-tempered one.
He didn't expect to be given such a big gift when he came in. He has a special liking for pork.
The pigs that have been raised in the territory for so long have not been eaten yet, because they are limited by the scale. Chu Xin is always thinking about how to expand the scale of the three main livestock species of pigs, cattle, and sheep.
The aura of Chu Xin's whole body was reserved. Now, in the eyes of Heimaozhu, he was just an ordinary person, so the other party came forward without hesitation.
Wild boars in the jungle are always ferocious, and they are always excited when they meet lonely humans.
Chu Xin's figure suddenly exerted force, and he pressed his hands directly on the black-haired pig's tusks, easily holding the speeding little tank in place.
The black pig struggled wildly, but Chu Xin's hands were like sea-fixing needles, always firmly holding its fangs, preventing it from advancing or retreating.
After frowning and hesitating for a moment, Chu Xin knocked out the black pig with a light punch, then recruited a Green Goblin from the warehouse and dragged it out of the forest.
It's not good to be alone. It's hard to deal with trophies, especially for living animals like black pigs. They can't be put into the warehouse. If you leave them alone, you'll worry about being hunted by other beasts. There's no other way but to let the Green Goblin take them away. Press back.
After taking care of the black pig, Chu Xin continued to move into the forest, but his steps became more subtle.
In terms of combat effectiveness, he is invincible in this forest, but what Chu Xin is training now is not his own combat effectiveness, but various comprehensive abilities such as reconnaissance and perception in the jungle.
The black-haired pig just now was actually discovered by Chu Xin first. The strange beasts in the forest always have their own survival skills. This is also the most valuable thing for him to learn from the game set by Chu Xin.
Soon, Chu Xin set his sights on a group of flower-antlered deer, the prey he had just discovered.
These two-star flower-antlered deer were not aware of Chu Xin's approach and were gathering together to eat the fresh and tender new leaves of the shrubs.
Chu Xin was lurking in the nearby bushes about ten meters away, approaching quietly like a ghost.
The flower-antlered deer were very vigilant, and Chu Xin's violent outburst was immediately noticed by them. The frightened deer immediately started running away in another direction without looking back.
As herbivorous animals, flower-antlered deer are always faced with being hunted by many predators. Their long-term life-and-death experience has honed their reflexes and explosive power. In just a moment, they can run an extremely long distance away.
But Chu Xin was faster. He was eyeing an adult stag. The more than one meter long piebald antlers on its head were like beautiful works of art, and Chu Xin caught his eye.
The stag had not run very far and was caught up by Chu Xin almost instantly. He was beaten to death on the ground with a punch.
Looking up, the remaining flower-antlered deer had already disappeared into the depths of the jungle without looking back. This is the law of survival in the wild. As long as you run faster than your teammates and the hunter, you can survive.
Chu Xin used the Hidden Wind Knife to carefully cut off the antlers from the flower-antlered deer's head, and smoothly put its body into the warehouse.
"Hey, these look like peppers?" Chu Xin, who had just put away the prey, suddenly noticed a short green plant dotted with many red fruits near where the flower-antlered deer group was.
Most of these fruits are only the size of fingertips. They look like hot millet in chili peppers, with their fiery red pointed bodies rising high into the sky.
Chu Xin picked one off and examined it, which revealed that it was called wild rice pepper. It was indeed a type of pepper and was not toxic.
Gently biting off the tip, a strong spicy taste immediately spread in the mouth, and it became more and more intense, and it felt like fire was about to burst out of the mouth.
Powerful, good stuff, mark it!
Chu Xin left a spiritual mark on it. When the time comes, he can directly order the collection team to come here to collect. As a collection team composed of military units, he can directly transmit the specific location to them.
This level of chili peppers is currently not available in the territory. Although the kitchen brings some of its own seasonings, they are all relatively moderate in taste, especially the chili sauce, which cannot achieve this spicy feeling at all.
There are indeed a lot of good things in the forest. It seems that we cannot simply let the collection team composed of soldiers come in in the future. They cannot identify the uses of many plants at all. They can only collect a few species specified by Chu Xin step by step, such as peppers. Among them, It seems to be a worthless fruit.
Next time, let Ron organize a group of farmers and chefs to come in and take a look. Maybe they can find more things.
This Green Goblin Forest has great potential, and there are many places worth exploring, especially the plant resources.
Chu Xin felt much happier and continued to explore deeper. At this moment, he was like a simple little hunter, happily hunting and exploring in the jungle.
However, he was not happy in the end because neither the Tangli tree nor the Thorn ball tree was found.
The collection team picked up all the fruits on it, leaving only the bare trunks and leaves. Chu Xin recognized the fruits, but really didn't recognize the bare trees. This is just like some people don't recognize them when they put on clothes. It's the same principle. .
Fortunately, the tree cannot escape if it stays in the forest. As long as it is not destroyed by strange animals, there is still a chance to find them again when the next batch of fruits matures.
Chu Xin stayed and played in the forest for the whole day, and did not leave the Green Devil Forest until nightfall.
Compared with being enclosed in a closed castle, this kind of outdoor activity can still make people relax and active.
Outside the forest, the ghost wolf and the sleigh were still waiting for Chu Xin's return, but there was an uninvited guest above them, a kitten.
"Meow, you guys, can't you hear me?"
"Don't worry, I'm the boss of your lord. If you ask me for help, he won't blame you."
"Meow, do you understand what this cat is saying?"
Bingmeng was constantly communicating with several ghost wolves, but the ghost wolves ignored it at all and kept lying down looking in the direction of the Green Goblin Forest.
As soon as Chu Xin appeared, the ghost wolves stood up one after another to welcome his arrival.
"Go back and have hot pot tonight!"
"Meow, take me one!"
