Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

"I see!"

Zong Shen glanced at the properties of the poison quenching beads and understood immediately.

The little black dragon didn't lie.

Don't look at this guy as a bit arrogant, but the black dragon is indeed not as cunning as the green dragon.

If it were the Green Dragon, at least nine out of ten sentences would be lies, and the remaining sentence would be half-deception.

"Okay, then just keep these beads here!"

Zong Shen grabbed these [Advanced Poison Quenching Beads (orange)] and walked into the dragon's nest.

From the broken equipment stored in the big pocket, he chose an excellent shield with low durability.

He placed the shield on the ground and placed the poison quenching beads on the shield.

These poison quenching beads can gradually increase the toxicity of the surrounding air.

Since the air is circulating, these poisons will gradually be absorbed by the original poisonous mist of the swamp.

Then the intensity of the poisonous mist can naturally be increased.

As for the concentration of swamp fog, it doesn't matter.

The thicker it is, the worse the visibility will be.

For a swamp with a width of three or four kilometers, it makes no difference whether it is lighter or thicker.

Anyway, no matter how dark or dark it is, you can't see very far when you look in from the outside.

As long as the intensity of the poisonous mist can be maintained at level three and level three and a half, it is enough.

For at least half a year, poisonous fog will still be the biggest natural obstacle to the lords.

After placing the poison quenching beads, Zong Shen clapped his hands and walked out of the dragon's nest again.

It's already past five o'clock in the evening.

It will get dark in an hour or so.

At this time, Zong Shen had no time to worry about exterminating the little flame demon.

He stood next to Xiao Heizi, one hand on his hip, and he took out the communication crystal with the other hand.

Contact the Predator Blood Wolf Gurgat directly.

I learned that the scattered dragon scales and dragon blood were almost collected.

He asked Gugat to wait where he was, then turned over and mounted Xiao Heizi.

Let the little black dragon fly into the air and leave the poisonous swamp.

Regarding the ruins and treasure chests in Poison Swamp, he planned to deal with them later.

The top priority now is to let Gugat take the eggs to deal with those little Balrogs.

If he doesn't take action himself, then the important task of exterminating the little Balrog can only be placed on the temporary combat team and Gugat who carries the eggs.

Although the Black Dragon's speed is not as fast as Eagle Sauce, it can still reach a flying speed of four to five hundred kilometers per hour.

Under such circumstances, after two or three minutes, the little black dragon carried Zong Shen to the location of Gujiat. During the period just now, it almost covered the entire place where the little black dragon had landed.

The temporary combat teams responsible for the south side all gathered in front of the Poison Swamp.

They had already persuaded several groups of Lord Daring Dogs to return to the Poison Swamp.

These dog bold lords all left here wisely after hearing Zong Shen's name.

It is unclear whether any lords from other directions entered the poisonous swamp.

But to Zong Shen, these are all trivial matters.

The poisonous mist is a natural barrier. Although the concentration and toxicity intensity have been weakened, it is still a big trouble for other lords.

There is no need for him to completely seal off the Poison Swamp.

He can directly persuade or intimidate the lords who attempt to enter the Poison Swamp on a large scale.

As long as those lords are not bad-minded, they will not try to disobey the will conveyed by Zong Shen riding the little black dragon.

The little black dragon has proven with its strength that it is the black god of death in the eyes of the lords of this region.

And Zong Shen, who tamed the black god of death, has an extraordinary status.

So this is not really a problem.

This can also be done in mines.

As long as he puts up the banner of his sect, the lords in the area may not even dare to covet him.

Zong Shen's strength and reputation in the region have reached their peak.

But he still doesn't plan to plant the flag directly.

If you can, hide it for a while. Anyway, the [Large Illusion Projection Magic Disk (Purple)] can perfectly cover the mine.

It's easier to hide it than to plant a flag before.

At the same time, just in case, the previous strategy remains unchanged.

It is said that an old dog (gou) has three layers of skin, and they shed one layer after another.

There is always nothing wrong with using more methods.

After Zong Shen saw Gujiat, he handed [Unknown Beast Egg (Unknown)] into its hands.

Told it what to do.

In order to improve its operational efficiency, Zong Shen planned to let the flying tiger carry Gujiat.

With the flying tiger's mobility, Gujiat can be given extremely high efficiency.

He was riding on the saddle on the back of the little black dragon, and stretched out his hand to wave Gugat to come up too.

The saddle is large enough for two people to ride together, and there is no problem in accommodating another Gurgat.

Xiao Heizi seems to have given up on himself and accepted his fate.

It raised its neck, rolled its eyes, and pretended nothing happened.

Gugat was also very happy, and jumped directly to the saddle with a leap of his body.

The eyepiece on the battle helmet shines with red light, and the faint light scans the little black dragon's body.

It looked like he was scanning the little black dragon.

"Sit tight, let's go!"

Zong Shen raised his head and reminded, and Gujiat immediately sat down. The red light emitted by the eyepiece still did not disappear. The Predator's strong curiosity about alien creatures was fully revealed at this moment.

Regarding this situation, Zong Shen just shrugged and let it go.

Right now it is most important to get down to business.

The little black dragon has been successfully subdued by him, and there are still several things that he needs to worry about now.

The first thing to do is the Poison Swamp ruins and the remaining scattered treasure chests.

The second thing is to extract the soul from the corpse and clean the battlefield.

The third thing is to take over the unclaimed territory, move useful buildings and people back to the territory, and at the same time take away the remaining resources in the unclaimed territory.

The fourth thing is to destroy the little Balrog.

It would definitely be unrealistic for him to be responsible for these four things at the same time.

Therefore, it must be assigned to subordinates.

Favid is currently responsible for extracting souls from corpses and cleaning the battlefield, and is still active outside the Poison Swamp.

When Zong Shen rode Xiao Heizi out, he looked down from the air and saw several pillars of smoke rising.

These smoke plumes are produced after corpses are burned.

At this rate, it will take about an hour or two to process everything.

In addition to the corpses outside the Poison Swamp, there are also many corpses inside the Poison Swamp.

Among them were human lords and accompanying warriors, as well as those who belonged to monsters.

Zong Shen prepared two ways to deal with the corpses in the poison swamp.

Human corpses are still burned after soul extraction as usual.

As for those dependent monsters, as well as beasts such as the Wolf Cavalry's Steppenwolf and the Huntress's Black Panther, or monster corpses, all are brought back to the territory and put into the shadow pool for [Skeleton Transformation].

In this way, a group of undead cannon fodder can be cultivated.

The reason why human corpses are not used is also very simple. Firstly, due to the influence of the uncanny valley effect, humans always feel uncomfortable with humanoids or human corpses. Secondly, the undead transformed from the bones of beasts and monsters are more powerful than ordinary skeletons. Stronger.

As far as skeleton warriors are concerned, there are countless hidden in the Boneyard or deep in the mines and various ruins in Azshara. There is really no need to make the territory too underworld.

In addition to the above reasons, the conversion of shadow pools also takes time.

There is only a limit to the number of bones that can be transformed into a pool of shadow water in a short period of time.

He was going to leave this job to Favid.

Better call Howie.

His [Hiking Merchant's Emblem (Purple)] comes with its own storage space.

It is very convenient to load the corpses of dependent monsters and beasts.

With Favid accompanying him and taking the anti-poison pills, he should not be in any danger.

For this reason, he planned to go to Favid after arranging things here.

Then we have to contact Luna and Vereesa and ask them to summon Rhys Ulysses back to the territory to stand by.

Prepare another half bucket of [Magic Spring] for her as a supplement.

After all, her [Shadow Wormhole] will be indispensable when taking over unclaimed territory later.

Zong Shen has always been professional when it comes to shearing wool.

And he not only picks up one wool, but usually two or three together...

Sheeping wool scientifically and efficiently is the quality that a qualified lord should possess.

While he let Xiao Heizi take off, he was thinking seriously in the saddle.

The arrogant little Heizi flapped his wings reluctantly, taking him and the blood wolf Gugat to fly to the forest further north of the Poison Swamp.

It's a few kilometers from here to the forest, and at Xiao Heizi's speed, it will take less than two minutes.

At this time, Feihu was lying on the ground and taking a nap.

The two or three hours in the afternoon were quite tiring.

Not only did they run back and forth several times, but they also led Zong Shen in two or three high-mobility dives above the goblin tribe. After landing at the edge of the forest, Zong Shen and the others went after the little black dragon.

This place was several kilometers away from the battle site, and Longwei could not affect it here, so Feihu quickly regained his composure and began to rest where he was.

The little black dragon came to the sky above the forest and began to lower its altitude.

When it was still two or three hundred meters above the ground, the flying tiger below opened its eyes vigilantly.

The dragon's power naturally exuded affected Feihu.

Because Xiao Heizi has been contracted by Zong Shen, Feihu and Xiao Heizi are considered allies.

Longwei's oppression also indirectly reduced Feihu a lot.

The hair on Feihu's body exploded like steel needles, and he grinned in the air, not as scared as before.

In fact, if it weren't for Longwei's suppression, even though Feihu couldn't defeat him, he wouldn't be too afraid.

As a high-level creature that suppresses mid-level and low-level creatures, Longwei is so unreasonable.

Of course, Long Wei cannot be suppressed without thinking.

The influence of dragon power will be greatly weakened on highly intelligent creatures. In addition, willpower can also overcome the oppression of dragon power to a certain extent.

Feihu, who was on alert, didn't stop showing his teeth and claws until he saw Zong Shen on the little black dragon's back, and crawled on the ground like a big cat.

The erected hairs were smoothed down, and he purred in a pleasing manner.

The little black dragon looked at Feihu with his yellow vertical pupils and lost interest.

The cured catfish tastes better...

It turned its neck and casually landed on the ground in a standing posture.

This posture caused some trouble for Zong Shen to get on and off the saddle.

But Zong Shen didn't mind this either.

He jumped down from the saddle with Gugat in tow.

The height difference of several meters is nothing to them.

"Feihu, you will follow Gugat in a moment."

"Fly according to its instructions, and go wherever it tells you to go."

Zong Shen came to Feihu and reached out to touch its chin.

He took out a barrel of dried meat with his backhand and dumped it on the ground.

Feihu was tamed by the fruit, so there is no thought link.

However, it can still understand mainland lingua franca.

As an overlord-level manticore, its intelligence is actually not low at all.

It just lacks clear thinking logic and knowledge accumulation.

Therefore, neither Feihu nor Yingjiang is as smart as humans or other intelligent races.

Feihu twisted his head, rubbed the side of his face against Zong Shen's body, and showed his affection to him.

Gujiat held the eggs in his arms and climbed directly onto Feihu's back.

Because Zong Shen had greeted him in advance, Feihu didn't have any dissatisfaction and lowered his head and started eating the dried meat.

The large, barbed tongue can roll the dried meat into your mouth with just one flick.

Since the master of suffering, Xiao Heizi, was also nearby, Zong Shen could not give the [Dragon Vein Fruit (orange)] directly to Fei Hu. He had to find a Xiao Heizi to put it in his pocket or give the fruit to him when he was away.

After settling here, Zong Shen waved to Gujiat and Feihu.

Then he flexibly climbed onto the [Dragon Controlling Saddle] with his folded wings.

"As noble as I am, I have turned into a tedious and boring horse on the road..."

"I suspect you are humiliating me!"

The little black dragon felt Zong Shen return to the saddle, turned his slender neck, stared at Zong Shen and said angrily.

"You're the only one who has a lot to do!"

"I don't treat you as a mount, but also treat you as a father?"

"Hurry up and leave, otherwise Five Colored Flowers won't be your share!"

From just now to now, the little black dragon's loyalty has jumped three or four times.

Now there are only 53 points left.

This naughty little Heizi is really too arrogant.

He seemed to have accepted his fate, but not completely.

After Zong Shen cursed angrily, Xiao Heizi fell silent and his loyalty did not change.

But it didn't take off according to the order, and just stayed in place.

The five-color flowers have been mentioned too many times today, and their allure has been greatly weakened.

This feeling of hearing but not being able to eat made Xiao Heizi a little impatient.

A black dragon from the evil camp would not be able to completely accept his fate so easily.

They love to kill and are impatient.

"It seems I need to give you some sweetness..."

"That five-color flower has five petals. I wonder if I can break off one and give it to it first?"

Zong Shen was thinking about countermeasures in his mind, when he was about to ask the guide if the five-color flowers could be divided and used.

Suddenly an idea flashed in my mind.

"Wait! Black Dragon..."

"Black dragon with claws..."

"Will that thing work?"

Through the term black dragon, he thought of something.

Something that has been sitting in storage for a long time.

With a raised eyebrow, he immediately immersed himself in the storage compartment.

After searching for a few seconds, the target was found in the rows of storage compartments at the back.

With a flick of his wrist, he took out a white bone flute.

It is [Dragon Flute (Special)].

This was what he drew during the crypt challenge.

Almost every special item has a great origin.

Zong Shen still remembers the note in the strategy guide about the origin of [Dragon Flute].

This thing is the only [Dragon Flute] in the mainland. It was made by the ancient dragon-slaying warrior Basda Breda thousands of years ago. It uses the nasal cavity bone of the clawed black dragon.

At that time, he did not delve into the origin of the clawed black dragon.

But now it seems that the claws are prefixed and should be stronger and have a greater background than the simple black dragon.

As expected, Xiao Heizi felt something as soon as the [Dragon Flute] was taken out.

It turned its neck again, and its pair of vertical pupils shrank violently.

"The breath of the legendary atavistic dragon..."

"And it's an atavistic black dragon..."

"You...what are you holding in your hand?"

The little black dragon asked in a surprised tone.

"The legendary atavistic dragon?"

Zong Shen keenly captured the key words.

Xiao Heizi seemed to be able to detect the remaining breath on the [Dragon Flute] or some kind of pheromones unique to dragons.

No matter what, now I can lie to others if I can, and I can cheat if I can.

See if you can fake some loyalty.

If you can cheat, you will make money. If you can't cheat, consider breaking off a petal of [Flower of Tiamat (orange)] to appease Little Heizi first. Anyway, this [Dragon Flute] is a trick, so it's useless if you don't use it. .

"Hmph, of course it's the trophy from the Dragon-Slaying Queen!"

"You don't think I'm just that capable, do you?"

"That's not my strongest state, it's just that I don't want to kill you."

Zong Shen snorted mysteriously.

It’s time for the golden showdown again.

Hearing what it said, Xiao Heizi was stunned.

After half a minute of silence, it calmed down.

He stared at the [Dragon Flute] in Zong Shen's hand over and over again, and looked at Zong Shen from time to time.

In its perception, Zong Shen's aura was at the overlord level at best.

The previous transformation into a Holy Spirit Warrior barely touched the threshold of an epic creature.

With such strength, it is impossible to kill the legendary atavistic black dragon.

But the [Dragon Flute] in his hand is indeed part of the dragon bone.

Moreover, it is a strange object that has been blended with the essence and blood of the heart and forged by magic.

Only a few strong people among humans can have it.

Regardless of whether this [Dragon Flute] was obtained by Zong Shen himself by killing the legendary black dragon, or obtained through other means, the little black dragon began to re-examine Zong Shen.

The process is not important, the result is the most important.

As long as this thing is indeed in Zong Shen's hands, we cannot rule out the possibility that he has super strength or a profound background.

"-snort"

With a slight snort, Xiao Heizi turned his head and sprayed out two white columns of air from his nose.

Then he flapped his wings and took Zong Shen into the sky.

Zong Shen found that loyalty had been successfully increased by 8 points.

This increased Xiao Heizi's loyalty to 62 points.

It shows that [Dragon Flute] succeeded in bluffing it. The 8 points of loyalty increase is not much. It seems that Xiao Heizi is still in a state of doubt.

But this was enough for Zong Shen.

Loyalty is the prerogative of the lord.

Since it is a privilege, it has its unreasonable side.

No matter what means Zong Shen uses, as long as he can accumulate loyalty in the end, it will be considered a success!
