First Lord of Earth

"The power of merit?"

"It turns out that if you help the Eternal Land resist the erosion of the 'air of catastrophe', you will have a chance to obtain 'merit'! And the power of merit involves transcending gold..."

Feeling the information emerging in his mind, Xia Tian's eyes were slightly excited.

Especially according to the statement in my mind, this "power of merit" can actually allow me to create miraculous objects by "turning stone into gold"!

This is indeed a bit outrageous.

After all, even the lowest "white" curio is worth a fortune.

Of course, considering that in addition to turning stones into gold, according to the prompts of the will of the earth when obtaining the "Golden Beads of Luck", merit is also directly related to the improvement of the living being's own "grade", so this merit is used to create a "miracle" "Things" should be putting the cart before the horse!

"Take your life!"

And perhaps because of the extreme anger in his heart, when fighting together with Hongfu Nu, the power of the "Giant Que Sword" in Zhan Zhao's hand was stronger than the other, like a stormy sea. After a battle, He actually cut off the head of the Japanese leader who had transformed three times with the second level of transformation!

Then, when the light on the back of the Japanese leader's head flashed, a golden beetle rushed out and tried to rush directly into Zhan Zhao.

With a flash of white light, the jade-clawed eagle had caught it in the air!

[You have obtained the Holy Gold Beetle (Exotic Treasure·Silver). 】

[You have obtained the ‘Golden Bead of Luck’, which contains the power of luck: 1500, which can be converted into territorial luck. 】

…

"General Zong, you wake up!"

When Zongze woke up from his coma and opened his eyes, what he saw was Hua Tuo holding a silver needle in his hand, with fair hair and a childish face, and a plump eyebrow and bright head!

"you are?"

"Hua Tuo, the lord asked me to come here to treat General Zong. By the way, General, please take a look at the scene of killing enemies in our territory..."

Hua Tuo put down the silver needle in his hand, touched his beard and turned his head to signal.

Gray mist surged outside the military tent. A "mummy" with gray-white bandages around his body and exuding an aura of mortal decay was trying to attack the camp and seize the "luck" of each human being.

Their number is approximately three hundred.

Under normal circumstances, the impact of such a large number of metamorphosis-level catastrophic creatures would be enough to change the color of the entire camp, and even summon the people resting in the mysterious inn behind to come out for reinforcements.

However, what Zongze saw at this time was that the faces of the people in the camp were completely unafraid, and they even looked eagerly towards the center of the camp.

There, there were several "ordnances" that were three feet tall, with very strange shapes, and emitted fluctuations in spiritual power. Stones weighing hundreds of kilograms were placed on them, and then they were smashed down towards the mummy like giant cannons. !

The mummy was hit head-on by the stone, and its head exploded on the spot. Black gas emitted from its body and rolled on the ground.

"These 'rune catapults' are trophies obtained after our territory defeated a kind of 'dark elves'. Each of those dark elves was at the metamorphosis level. There were more than five hundred in total, and they were eventually led by the adults. We annihilated all of them...and in our territory, only seven people died in that battle!"

Hua Tuo stroked his beard. Except for omitting part of the words, there was nothing "false" in the old gentleman's words.

Boom, boom, boom...

After being stoned and baptized, the number of mummies attacking the camp was reduced by one-third.

Then a war horse with shiny white hair broke through the raging river at the edge of the camp, leading twelve black-armored cavalry to charge.

Zhao Yun, who was enveloped in the power of gentian and exuded the aura of the fourth level of metamorphosis, swept past with the spear in his hand, like a bulldozer, knocking the mummies wrapped in bandages away on the spot and falling apart in the air!

"This is Commander Zhao Yun, the former General of Zhendong of the Han Dynasty, Marquis of Yongchang Ting... He has successively killed the golden dragon vulture, the scorpion leader, and the dark elf priest. Each of them is an extremely powerful alien hero!"

After Zhao Yun led the team to charge, the number of mummies was reduced by one-third again.

"That one is Commander Gao Shun. All the trapped soldiers in the territory were trained by him. Each one of them is brave and fearless of death and has great military achievements. That one is Commander Wu Song. He is capable of fighting tigers before he has practiced. He is really a god descending from the earth... …Commander Jia Xu holds the golden bamboo slip in his hand as his natal magic item, which can make alien races kill each other without knowing it, and has saved the territory from danger several times…”

In Hua Tuo’s sentence-by-sentence “introduction”.

This entire wave of 300 mortal-level catastrophic creatures were all "killed" before they could even officially enter the camp, leaving behind a pile of eye-catching golden emanations on the black ground. , silver, copper and other beads of different colors of light.

"I wonder, does the general know something about our lord's territory now?"

After talking, Hua Tuo said with a smile.

"Also, please allow me to say one more word."

"General Zong, although I don't understand military affairs, I also understand that the battles in this eternal land are different from our past Kyushu. There are many extremely powerful beings among the catastrophic creatures and alien races! Their methods are very strange and endless. Therefore, a A 'leader' should not only possess 'benevolence' and 'wisdom', but also 'strength'..."

"鍍雱鱱lvye..."

And it seemed to be a perfect match for his words.

A Territorial soldier prepares to pick up the loot after the Mummy attack is destroyed.

Suddenly, a mummy priest holding a golden scepter in his hand and wearing a golden mask appeared. He seemed to have used some secret method. The land centered on it quickly turned into sand, and a body made entirely of sand appeared, with a breath on his body. It’s comparable to the “yellow sand face” that has completed four transformations!

Roar!

He blew out a sharp breath, causing a dust storm to blow up on the battlefield. The power contained in each grain of sand was enough to leave a bloody hole in a person's body.

Even the arrows fired by the divine arm crossbow were blown away by it.

But before this powerful "catastrophic creature" could continue to show its majesty, a silver dragon with the power of thunder all over its body rushed out against the sand and dust, and landed directly on the mummy priest who was casting a spell. The body was exploded into a pile of burning rags and broken bones, and the spell being cast naturally disappeared into thin air!

"Wonderful victory, ten thousand victory!"

There was a burst of cheers from outside the military tent.

The expressions on the faces of the inn staff were eager and admiring, looking at Xia Tian who was wearing a golden dragon scale bright armor with a jade-white flying eagle on his arm!

"I was wrong... It seems that even if I don't need my help, these people are willing to follow you..."

Zongze saw this scene in the military tent and murmured.

…

Two days later.

"General Zong? He really said that he was unwilling to leave the inn..."

Xia Tian looked at the closed door of the Mysterious Inn, frowning and asking Zhan Zhao who was standing next to him.

"The general said that if he also leaves, the new Chinese people who enter the Mysterious Inn in the future may be suppressed. And without the protection of the 'river', the camp will soon be breached by catastrophic creatures, and maybe even the inn will be destroyed. …By staying in the inn, he can at least preserve some hope for some people who are in desperate situations…”

Zhan Zhao answered with curiosity on his face.

Looking at the nearby human territory that is surrounded by a huge "formation", the houses are neat and clean, plum blossoms and peach blossoms are planted, and golden bees are flying, like a paradise in the world.

And, with a warm smile on his face, a territorial resident greeted the "newcomers" with food, fruits and a change of clothes.

"That's right, I took so many people away. The proportion of Chinese people who had the absolute advantage in the original personnel in the Mysterious Inn dropped sharply. If he was not here, the new Chinese people who came in would probably be replaced by the remaining ones. Those foreigners suppress us!"

Xia Tian nodded and looked at the large group of ragged "people" in darkness behind him. These people were exactly the people he had successfully redeemed from the "Mysterious Inn", with a total number of more than 3,300.

Thanks to the fact that the energy of catastrophe will enhance its "offensive" according to the quality of the people entering, a large number of metamorphosis-level catastrophe creatures have appeared in the past few days, so that the number of people finally recruited from the mysterious inn was higher than the originally expected upper limit of 3,000. There's a little more.

Among them, the vast majority are people of Chinese background, and a smaller number are exotic elites and talents with characteristics, skills or special abilities!

The only regret is that Zongze, who is a golden hero, refused his "recruitment", and there are only two heroes with silver names. It is Zhan Zhao and Hong Funu who are curiously looking at the territory's buildings and residents!

【Zhan Zhao (Silver)】

【Level】Transformation to the third level

[Talent] Cat Control (for the little mice, people with evil intentions have a deterrent effect and combat effectiveness bonus)

[Characteristics] Nan Xia (doing chivalrous and righteous deeds can help you gather luck), Guard (high martial arts skills, improved combat effectiveness when protecting people and maintaining territory)

[Skills] Eight Immortals Sword (Master), Fifth Ancestor Point Fist (Master), Xiujian (Expert)

[Explanation] A silver hero with top potential is of great significance to the human race territory.

Zhan Zhao is actually the same as Wu Song, with top silver potential?

At this point, Xia Tian was a little surprised.

But if you think about it carefully, it's within reasonable limits.

After all, as the personal bodyguard of the famous "Bao Qingtian", Zhan Zhao's reputation is indeed not inferior to that of Wu Song.

Moreover, the talents of two people, one a tiger and the other a cat, are very similar.

"Very good. With these two outstanding figures, Zhan Zhao and Wu Song, there will be no need to worry about 'security' issues in the territory in the future."

Xia Tian withdrew his gaze.

There were relatively few people in the territory before.

Just a thousand people, not even as good as a village.

The staff composition is also relatively simple, so management is naturally easier.

But now the number of people has suddenly quadrupled, especially since these people have experience in the mysterious inn, they are definitely not that easy to discipline.

And Zhan Zhao not only has the talent for "public security", but also because he was originally a "general" under Zong Ze, he has a certain prestige among these people, and he can just match up with Wu Song to avoid any trouble!

Of course, in addition to Zhan Zhao, Xia Tian also used the "Eye of Insight" to check Hong Fu Nu's information.

[Zhang Chuchen (silver)]

【Level】Transformation to the third level

[Talent] Recognizing people with a keen eye (a pair of eyes can identify the target's 'potential' in a certain aspect)

[Characteristics] The Three Fengchen Heroes (have a special bond with the Qiubeard Guest and Li Jing), the Red Whisker Girl (the combat strength of using a whisk as a weapon is improved)

[Skills] Etiquette, singing and dancing (master), martial arts (expert), military (proficient)...

[Explanation] A female figure with high potential, with a well-educated family background, and a good understanding of etiquette and military training.

"Compared to Zhan Zhao, Hong Funu's potential is indeed inferior. But she still has excellent potential, probably because she is not completely considered a 'virtual hero'."

"However, in addition to 'etiquette and martial arts', Hongfu Nu also knows about 'military' and even knows how to train soldiers?"

There was some surprise on Xia Tian's face, and then he smiled.

"That's good. All people in the territory are preparing to practice. Even women should try their best to improve their strength to the level of transformation. That way, even if they no longer continue to practice, they can still rely on the spiritual power of heaven and earth to slowly temper their bodies..."

"However, these ancients paid more attention to the defense between men and women. It is not good to let Hua Rong and other male heroes teach them. Originally, I was planning to let Wang Yuyan and A'Zhu be responsible for guiding the women in the territory to practice martial arts. But obviously Hong Fu Nu is better choice. After all, she not only knows martial arts, but also masters 'military' related skills."

When necessary, women also have to go to the battlefield.

Just like the territory was short of manpower at the beginning, even women and even children went to the battlefield when facing the centaurs.

Of course, the "quality" of today's residents is higher and their training potential is greater.

After all, almost all of these three thousand people have combat experience, and they have even seen various strange creatures evolved from the aura of catastrophe, and survived after fighting with them!

Such people are definitely the best "source of soldiers", enough to significantly increase the number of soldiers in territories that have been unable to expand due to population restrictions.

"However, we can't be careless. After all, the territory's 'shield' will completely disappear in five days..."

Although, it can really be said that his territory is "strongly armed" now, Xia Tian still has some worries in his heart.

Just like the last time the territorial shield was "weakened", the second round of fusion of heaven and earth appeared at the same time.

Five days later, the "shield" given by the earth's will completely disappeared.

No one knows if there will be any other changes?

Well, let’s talk about it.

Hong Fu Nu is "bonded" to "Li Jing and Qiu Bearded Guest"!

Will Li Jing be classified as a top hero or a super hero by the will of the earth?

In terms of historical achievements and status, this "Military God of the Tang Dynasty" is obviously qualified to enter the "super" level, enough to be tied with "Sun Wu Han Bai" and others.

It’s just that it may be slightly less popular!

"If he is also classified as super like Wu Qi, will it come in five days? If the 'God of War' Li Jing can also be brought into the territory, it will be an even bigger surprise."

Xia Tian has some expectations in her heart.

"However, although we have gained a lot of people... we have also paid a lot..."

In order to exchange for enough "money beads" from the people at the Mysterious Inn, Xia Tian spent more than 8,000 worth of spiritual stones in these three days.

In addition, a lot of resources such as golden honey, royal jelly, blood-tonifying pills, meat, etc. were also used. Otherwise, how could it be possible to successfully replace so many people?

"And, in addition to resources and spirit stones, I even 'lost' a person!"

Xia Tian turned his head.

On the golden platform, a woman in Tsing Yi, holding an infant baby in her arms, was looking at the "Mysterious Inn" from a distance.

Because, at the same time that two outstanding people, Zhan Zhao and Hongfu Nu, joined the territory, another outstanding person left the territory.

It is Ximen Chuixue who has the talent of "Sword God's Stance"!

After hearing from people in the territory that this mysterious inn can travel to different areas of the Eternal Land, and can also see various alien races and catastrophic creatures!

Ximen Chuixue is at the last moment when the "Mysterious Inn" is about to disappear.

Wearing his iconic white clothes, he entered alone against the current with a simple black sword.

And his wife seemed to have known for a long time that he would make such a choice. She held her newly born child and watched him disappear from the entrance of the inn from a distance, her expression looking relatively calm.

"All men are unreliable..."

On the contrary, A'Zhu, Wang Yuyan, and Qingwen were comforting her. The three girls all looked indignant.

"No, except Lord Lord..."

"Don't worry, Sister Sun, the lord has said that you will stay here forever, and we will definitely help you take good care of you and the baby..."

Ximen Chuixue puts "kendo" first.

But he is not really heartless. Before Ximen Chuixue left, he came to see Xia Tian and expressed his willingness to use "Wanmei Villa" as a resource in exchange for his territory to protect his wife and children...

Xia Tian will naturally not refuse.

You must know that the snow mountain itself where Wanmei Villa is located is also a "world fragment", and even if the resources it possesses are not as rich as the "Dark Caves", they are definitely not that bad.

The tens of thousands of mortal-level cold plums alone are enough for the territory to create millions of crossbow arrows with "freezing" attributes.

In fact, even if there is no need for "Wanmei Villa".

The silver rare object building named "Sword Pavilion" that Ximen Chuixue had given before was enough to make Xia Tian agree to take care of his wife and children.

What's more, in exchange, Ximen Chuixue also promised to protect Zongze for a certain period of time after entering the mysterious inn until his own cultivation level improved.

For Xia Tian, ​​this can be regarded as "the most benevolent and righteous" for the old Chinese general.

And looking at the mysterious inn that disappeared into the "black vortex" after the time expired.

Xia Tian has a premonition.

One day, he should meet Zongze again.

But by then, his territory should be strong enough to explore the area shrouded in gray mist!

I'm done, I'm finally done.

There is a feeling of relief. These are probably the worst chapters I have written since I wrote the book, but I tried my best.

Fortunately, I finally wrote it!

Thanks to the book friends who have persisted in supporting me through these chapters.

I will sum up the gains and losses carefully so as not to make this kind of mistake again.
