At noon, the sun was high in the sky.

The scorching sun was burning the earth. In early October, the nights were a little cooler, but the daytime temperatures were already oppressive.

However, the swamp has sufficient moisture and lush vegetation, so the air is not as hot as the outside world. Instead, the breeze makes it feel quite cool.

After lunch, Lear prepared to go to the fish pond to feed the fish.

Under the care of Grandma Green Grass and the characteristics of the Horn of Plenty, Fishtail Grass grows extremely fast.

Now you don't have to be so careful about feeding fish.

With sufficient food, the dragon blood red fish becomes more and more beautiful. Its whole body is blood red and glows brightly, and it looks like chicken blood jade when swimming underwater.

The two dragon whiskers floating in the water are even more spectacular.

Those raised in the marginal areas for his viewing are the best among them, and almost every one of them is over 1.5 meters tall.

Looking at it, the feeling it gives people is just pleasing to the eyes.

As soon as Li Er sat down, he saw the fish farm staff running towards him in a hurry.

Said in a hurried tone.

"Sir, the mudworm you asked us to keep an eye on has woken up!"

Mudworms?!
Li immediately became interested.

This is the gift that Philena's Northern Flower gave him, the ancient life she obtained from the ruins.

When he got it, its origin had already been depleted and lifeless.

Later, we learned through intelligence that the other party had to be fed mud in order to recover.

He placed it near the fish pond and asked someone to take good care of it.

However, the thumb-sized mud worm was too small and it would take a while for it to recover.

As the territory's strength increased, the army at hand gradually became sufficient. This guy who had been eating mud bugs had too little sense of presence, so he was no longer paid much attention to later.

Hearing the news now, I am still somewhat looking forward to it.

After all, it was a treasure given to him by the Princess of Luolan City.

He immediately stood up and followed the other person into the fish pond.

Walking along the muddy ridge, we passed through it and came to the other side of the fish pond.

At the signal from the Delsa people, Lear looked intently.

Dozens of meters away was a turbid muddy ground, where the mud and water were constantly churning.

From time to time, a bubble gurgled out, as if there was some ferocious beast hiding.

At this moment, the mud suddenly exploded with a "puff". A terrifying giant insect leaped up, flew into the air, and then slammed heavily into the mud, splashing mud and water all over the ground.

Mudworm!

Ancient life!

The creature suddenly turned its body and changed direction, crawling towards Lear.

Only now did he see the other person's specific appearance. He was gray-brown in color, and his skin was full of wrinkles like tree bark. At a glance, he could feel his defense as tough as cowhide.

The open mouth is like a petal, covered with sharp and tiny teeth.

It can move through the mud, easily dig through it with its mouth, and then spray it out from several holes behind its head.

Its body length exceeds ten meters and its diameter reaches one and a half meters.

Just placing it horizontally on the ground can give people a strong sense of oppression.

The mudworm approaches Lear.

Tweet~
The mouth opened like a petal, revealing razor-sharp teeth.

A low groaning sound like that of an animal cub came from his throat.

In stark contrast to its ferocious appearance, the mud worm's voice sounds like the meow of a kitten.

It makes people feel that it is full of emotions of attachment and trust.

Lear's expression became strange.

Boy, is this the sound you're supposed to make?
If you don't yell at me a few times, I'll feel sorry for your appearance!

Looking carefully, the opponent's attributes now quietly appear before your eyes.

泥虫
childhood
Level: 10

potential:???
Racial talent: Swallowing mud, can swallow mud to grow.

???

The mudworm is still in its juvenile stage, but its level does surprise Lear.

It actually reached level 10.

The larvae are all level 10, what level are the adults? 1520?

However, considering the opponent's 10-meter-long body, this level is reasonable.

Just looking at its appearance, no one would have thought that two months ago it was just a thumb-sized, soft little bug.

Li Er looked somewhat pleased. If he continued to grow like this, his future would be promising.

"From now on, you will be responsible for guarding the fish pond and do not harm the residents of Wei Lu City."

Mental power escapes and transmits information directly in the mind.

Feel the joy coming from the other person.

Lear smiled. This fellow's wisdom was just like his voice, like that of a three or four-year-old child.

This is indeed a genuine underage insect.
After playing with it for a while, the mud worm turned around and burrowed back into the mud and water, continuing to devour the mud.

This little guy still needs to continue growing.

He is only this young now, but his level has reached 10. I wonder what level he can reach when he is meters tall?
Hunting dragons for food, I used to think this idea was a bit ridiculous.

But now it seems that there is nothing unacceptable.

If it can really grow to a length of 100 meters, swallowing a few dragons would be nothing.
However, it will obviously take a long time to reach this level.

After the mudworms dived back into the ground, Lear, in a good mood, returned to the fish pond, made a pot of hot tea, and drank it slowly.

A few days ago, he asked the vine fairy to build a shaded resting area with vines around.

When the sun shines down, all the heat is absorbed by the vines, so you can't feel the heat.

The vines are still emitting cool air, like a cooling air conditioner.

Plus there is a breeze blowing from time to time, which is very refreshing.

Lear always sighed, who says the fantasy world is worse than the modern one.

This thing uses biological refrigeration and does not require any electricity, which is very cool.

I lay on the rattan chair and took a short nap, feeling a little sleepy.

He didn't know how long it had been before he was awakened by the sound of footsteps.

He turned around and looked with a little confusion.

Brin, covered in sweat and with most of his clothes wet, came here excitedly.

The Frye leader said excitedly after saluting.

"Sir, the weapon has been forged!!"

Lear's sleepiness disappeared immediately, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"It's forged?! Where is it?"

"Blacksmith shop, please follow me."

Lear didn't care about anything else. He immediately got up and went to the blacksmith shop with Brin.

He strode into the building in the middle. At that moment, dozens of people were gathered together, discussing something. When they saw Lear coming, they immediately excitedly made way for a passage.

"My Lord, I greet you."

"Good day, my lord"

Li Er nodded slightly, walked through the crowd with a smile in his eyes, and came to the central area.

At this moment, next to the burning stove, there was a large stone barrel.

It was filled with a black liquid, and a knife handle protruded from it, leaning against the edge of the stone barrel.

If you get a little closer you can smell the smell of burning grease.

"Sir, the weapon has been tempered."

Brin pointed to the stone with his hand, his tone somewhat excited.

"This sword is called Crushing Steel Blade. I forged it by combining the forging skills of my ancestors."

"It perfectly realizes the potential of the ore. You will not be disappointed. Please come and see it for yourself."

Lear was also immediately interested.

He stepped forward, grasped the hilt of the knife with his right hand, and lifted it with force.

He took out the entire sword.

Drops of grease fell from the blade.

Brin beside him handed over a long, clean cloth.

Lear reached out to take it, folded it in half, held the blade and wiped it downwards.

When all the grease was sucked dry, he looked carefully and his heart skipped a beat.

What a sharp blade!
The sword in his hand is more than two meters long.

It is as wide as a palm, and the blade has a slight curve.

There are blood spots and dark lines intertwined on it.

Full of mystery and sophistication.

One glance at it and you can be sure that this sword is extraordinary!

The blade was dark, and under the illumination of the fire, it did not reflect any light, as if it had swallowed up all the energy.

It feels heavy in the hand.

According to a rough estimate, its weight is at least over 100 kilograms!

It is several sizes larger than what normal humans use.

Obviously it was specially cast for cold-blooded cavalry.

Concentrate your mind and its attribute panel will appear in your mind.

Crushing Steel Blade
[Level]: 4 star

[Features]: The steel-breaking blade can gather its own strength and cut out a fierce sword energy, cutting off all enemies within 20 meters in front.

Armor-piercing blade, sharpness increased by 90%, with armor-piercing effect when attacking, and has additional armor-piercing bonus against heavy armor.

Abyss Demon Blade, the sturdiness of the sword is increased by 80%, and it has a unique power that can attack intangible life such as ghosts.

Rage Blood, after being stained with blood, will become sharper. For each enemy killed in battle, the sharpness will increase by 10%, with a cap of 200%.

[Evaluation]: The sword forged with extraordinary forging skills and high-level ores is extremely sharp!
4 star sword!!
Fierce, so fierce!!
Lear's eyes were full of color.

Although he had been looking forward to this, he didn't expect that Brin would give him such a big surprise.

4 star level baby! !

He didn't have many in his hands.

Now you can cast directly! !
And judging from the looks of it, it can be mass-produced. Who the hell can I complain to?
The Steelbreaker comes with 4 skills, each more brutal than the last.

It has extremely destructive power.

This sword can completely make up for the weakness of the cold-blooded cavalry's weak attack.

If all of them can be put into service, the combat effectiveness of the army will definitely be greatly improved.

When facing an enemy of the Dark Naga level, a single charge can defeat them! !

Good equipment is your second life!
With the 3-star heavy rock armor and the 4-star steel-breaking blade in my hands, I will really have an invincible ace army.

"Good! Good! Good!!"

"Brin, you did a great job, and every worker in the blacksmith shop is great!!"

"Everyone in the Blacksmith Shop will receive a collective 2-star merit!!"

Lear was generous with his praise.

Hearing this, the people in the room started to make a noise, and everyone was extremely excited.

"Praise to you!"

"My lord, this is our honor!"

The merit system was announced many days ago, but some details have not been perfected and are still under discussion.

So to this day, no one has actually received any honors.

In the drama two days ago, The Birth of a Hero, the protagonist was commended for his bravery in battle several times.

The various privileges and treatments after achieving meritorious service have been rooted in the hearts of the people. At this moment, the enthusiasm in their hearts can't help but explode.

Lear smiled happily.

"During this period, forge the Broken Steel Blade as quickly as possible and equip our army!"

"Do you have enough materials?"

Brin's excited expression faded slightly, and he hesitated.

"My Lord, the Crushing Steel Blade is made of the Scarlet Magic Iron you gave me as the main component, Abyssal Magic Iron as an additional component, and ordinary iron ore."

"Scarlet magic iron accounts for 7%, Abyss magic iron accounts for 1%, and the remaining % ​​is ordinary iron ore."

"The Blacksmith Shop still has plenty of common ore and Abyssal Iron, but the amount of Scarlet Iron is slightly insufficient."

Lear nodded.

That would be nice.

Although the Abyss Demon Iron has been mined crazily in the ruins for nearly ten days, the reserves are still considerable.

But if casting is opened up, it may not necessarily meet the needs of the territory.

It’s different if it’s based on scarlet magic iron.

Although there is not much scarlet magic iron now, it can continue to devour flesh and blood for production.

He has a vein of minerals that can produce continuously.

But in a blink of an eye, Lear felt a headache again.

Flesh and blood, and more flesh and blood.
As the territory expanded, not only the wild monsters in the swamp were cleared out.

Many wild monsters around the mud swamp were also hunted down by the scarlet queen bee and her swarm of bees.

The queen bee's harvest these days is obviously not as much as before.

At this rate, it won’t be long before the area within dozens or hundreds of kilometers around the swamp becomes an area without wild monsters.

The territory's desire for flesh and blood is too strong.

Almost every aspect is indispensable.

Fortunately, the growth efficiency of the three-tailed piglets is sufficient. As long as they can hold on for another half a year or so, the size of the population will increase and this problem can be alleviated.

"I'll take care of this problem, you just focus on casting!"

Brin also relaxed after hearing this.

"Yes!"

"What is the current production speed? How long will it take to arm all the Coldblooded Cavalry?"

"Although the level of Crushing Steel Blade is higher, the forging difficulty is much lower than that of Rock Heavy Armor."

The weight of a full set of armor is so exaggerated that it takes three to five people to lift it.

Moreover, the forging process of armor varies depending on the part where it is forged. Among all equipment, armor is the most difficult to produce.

Although weapon forging also requires many craftsmanship requirements, it is far less complicated than armor.

After training with the Rock Heavy Armor, the blacksmith shop now has a group of skilled workers who can start work directly when there is a task.

It's much better than starting from scratch.

After a brief calculation, Brin gave a rough estimate.

"If we use all our current productivity, we can forge it in five days at most!"

Lear's eyes lit up.

Very happy.

The Frye people are indeed a race cursed by the God of Forge. If he were the God of Forge, he might not necessarily like them.

It's abnormal that these guys can rely on bloodline to pass on knowledge unlimitedly.

These are 700 4-star weapons! !
In the other person's mouth, it sounds so light.

Very good, he likes this kind of illegal power.

"Great! Step up production and arm our army as soon as possible!"

He has a lot of power in his hands, but the Cold-Blooded Cavalry is the sharpest sword at present, and its role is strategic.

Having good equipment can immediately improve your combat effectiveness.

"As you wish!"

Brin also felt a little proud. He finally lived up to the lord's trust.

Finally, I forged high-level weapons for my army! !

He will continue to work hard to ensure that all troops can wear and use 4-star or even 5-star equipment in the future! !
The blacksmith shop, which was run by thousands of people, began to operate at high speed again.

Ore is smelted into molten iron, molten iron is melted into crude iron, crude iron is forged into refined iron, refined iron is forged hundreds of times and cast into weapons.
Lear came to the scarlet carrion land and took out all the corpses that the scarlet queen bee had hunted during the past few days.

Come to the edge area and see the inconspicuous scarlet iron ore protruding from the ground.

This mineral vein, which was born from the original power of the ruins, is now slowly absorbing the energy of the scarlet carrion land, condensing scarlet magic iron bit by bit.

But the speed is extremely slow. If it continues to condense like this, it may take three to five years to form one or two fist-sized pieces of ore.

However, this is also in line with the formation law of mineral veins.

All the mineral veins outside were formed through tens of millions of years of geological activities.

But now, he doesn't need to follow these time rules.

Thoughts moved slightly.

Thousands of monster corpses piled up around the Crimson Iron Ore Vein.

The earth squirmed, as if it had opened its mouth and began to devour the corpse.

Directly convert it into flesh and blood energy.

The rich blood and flesh were absorbed by the scarlet iron ore.

With the watering of a large amount of blood and flesh, the speed at which the ore condenses is increasing at a rate visibly visible to the naked eye.

It was like it was sped up a thousand times.

After five or six thousand corpses were consumed, the mine produced two or three hundred pieces of ore the size of a head.

It was scarlet, as if made of condensed blood, and had a frightening evil aura.

There was a big bump on the ground.

Lear's eyes moved slightly.

Ghosts appeared in the desolate graveyard at the back. These undead creatures flew over and started mining directly with sickles.

It didn't take long before all the ore was mined.

Then a swarm of bees flew down from the sky, took the ore from their hands, and flew straight to the City of Dew.

The people who were busy in the blacksmith shop suddenly heard some noise, looked up, and saw a large number of wasps in their eyes.

They swooped down with the ore, put it in the backyard, piled it together and quickly left.

The crowd was amazed.

Five or six thousand corpses, and two or three hundred pieces of ore. This figure is not small.

After all, it is a 4-star ore.

But it is obviously far from enough to meet the casting needs.

Lear frowned.

Sensing the massive amount of flesh and blood energy stored deep within the earth, he did not hesitate.

Mobilize a portion of it and infuse it into the mineral veins.

Under the infusion of tremendous energy, the mineral veins began to produce ore at a faster rate, just like a hen laying eggs.

Lear didn't stop until he had condensed 5000 pieces.

A small hill appeared in front of us.

It fits in perfectly with the surrounding flesh and blood, and there is nothing unusual about it.

If you observe carefully, you can feel the unique energy contained in it.

However, the price is that the blood and flesh energy stored in the scarlet carrion land has dropped again.

Although it is still as turbulent as a lake, it is still much less than the previous full state.

Lear felt a little emotional.

Fortunately, those fallen demons healed him greatly, otherwise his life would have been even more difficult.

Rich and poor.

Everything is getting better, but it also seems like nothing is missing. This is how Lear feels now.

He shook his head and without giving it much thought, he let the swarm of bees deliver the ore to the blacksmith shop.

With 5000 yuan, I estimate that it will be about the same.

It’s not too late to make up for it if it’s not enough.

Time flies quickly when we are busy.

Soon the sun sank into the earth and the moon rose high in the sky.

Under the twinkling stars in the sky, the City of Wisdom still maintains a fiery working pace.

After finishing their work outside during the day, many residents spontaneously came to the blacksmith shop to ask if they needed help.

Brin accepted everyone who came and recruited a group of temporary workers to start doing some basic work.

This made the blacksmith shop even busier.

Lear looked at the brightly lit territory and felt very satisfied.

The feeling of building up your own industry from scratch, bit by bit, is very fulfilling.

He waited until late at night and had not fallen asleep yet. As he watched the time tick by, his emotions began to rise.

Tonight is October 10th, and a new round of intelligence will be updated in the early hours of the morning.

If it were this, it would be fine, but the difference is that August 8th is the 20th intelligence update.

And today is the 10th intelligence update in a new round.

Every 10 times the intelligence is refreshed, a 4-star intelligence will be refreshed! !

With the rapid expansion of the territory, ordinary 1-star intelligence is no longer of much value to him.

Even 2-star intelligence is mostly dispensable. Only intelligence above 3 stars has obvious value.
Intelligence above 4 stars is almost all at the strategic level.

But up to now, he has only triggered a few 4-star intelligence.

And this time, the information above 4 stars will definitely be refreshed, which will directly raise his expectations to the maximum.

If you open the guarantee, you can also get the top guarantee!

When the pointer passed 12 o'clock, time quietly jumped to the 10th.

[The intelligence system has cooled down and can be refreshed. Do you want to refresh? ]

Sure!

As Lear was in high spirits, the intelligence system began to refresh a new round of intelligence.

[1. The Keld Ratman has killed the old red dragon in the Dark Mountains. The Ratman Queen has swallowed the blood of the red dragon, and her strength has greatly increased. She has also learned about the surface passage, and the Ratman is looking towards the surface. (2 stars)]

[2. The power in the mudworm has revived. 30 kilometers southwest of the mud swamp, there is a unique magical plant: Sun Fruit. After swallowing it, it can activate the blood in the body, greatly increase strength, and accelerate growth. (2 stars)]

[3. A dark castle appeared half a month ago, 300 kilometers away from the mud swamp. The owner of the dark castle is a level 17 dragon lich, dangerous and mysterious. He is hunting everywhere to expand his territory. (3 stars)]

[4. The Night Elf - the Song Clan, has discovered a passage to the surface and is gathering an army of a thousand people. In a week, they will set foot in the wilderness and prepare to establish a base for the Night Elf on the surface to plunder the wealth of the surface. (3 stars)]

[5. The Lord of Foul and Flies has obtained an ancient god treasure. He imprisoned the devil archduke, the Duke of Blood, who was his enemy, and took control of the plane he was in. He is accumulating strength to launch an extinction attack on the City of Wisdom. Before that, he will use the ancient curse to kill you in the early morning of October 10th. This is a curse from the power of the ancient gods. Only the blood of the ancient gods in Kalanis can resist it for you. (Orange, 17 stars)]

Li Er's eyes quickly swept across and stopped at the last piece of 5-star intelligence! !

Exceeded the guaranteed amount.

However, this information was not about the location of any treasure, but a danger warning.

A 5-star danger warning? ! !

Lear was somewhat confused and doubtful.

This is the highest level of early warning intelligence we have faced so far.

What kind of treasure did this demigod obtain to be so powerful? !

Thinking of the scene in which he snatched the other person's eyes before, he seemed to be able to feel the stench and the hatred of the Lord of Flies towards him coming across the endless void.

I was thinking about the pros and cons of this.

This is definitely a huge crisis. That guy is a demigod, not just some random person.

And it is impossible for Karanis to resist the 5-star level intelligence warning so easily.

If this demigod comes directly with his army, how should we deal with it? ! (End of this chapter)
