Chapter 142 If you don’t have extraordinary abilities, you must have the courage to face death.

After this matter was settled, Lear prepared to return to his territory.

A thought.

The scarlet land of rotten flesh that covered the ground slowly rolled up like a scroll and disappeared from the surface.

With the power in hand, a major knot in my heart was removed, and from now on I can go into battle with ease.

This time going back is a brand new beginning.

Even if the future journey is not smooth, it is a new and perfect beginning.

But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned his head to look at the muddy ground on the side.

The pupils shrank sharply.

The next moment, bang~ the earth suddenly exploded.

Mud was flying all over the sky, and the stench of mud hit my nose at this moment.

In the muddy water, a pitch-black insect with a huge triangular mouth suddenly leaped into the air and came towards him to bite him.

The body length is over 30 meters!
It's like an ancient giant beast.

A life form of this size leaped out of the mud, instantly bringing an exaggerated sense of oppression.

At this moment he could clearly see that the insect had no eyes, only a strange mouth that formed a triangle when opened.

The sharp teeth combined together can easily crush a long-nosed elephant.

Blindworm, Level 14
Just at this moment.

Li Er stretched out his right hand, and the chains of fighting spirit lingering around him surged in an instant and condensed into a knife.

He gripped the hilt of the knife with five fingers and swung it down.

"cut!"

The next moment, the illusory blade in his hand burst out with terrifying power.

The giant insect that leaped into the air only felt a sharp pain in its head, its body suddenly stiffened, and its soul was extinguished in an instant.

Like a candle being blown out.

bang~
The huge body slammed heavily into the mud, splashing smelly mud water a hundred meters high.

The turbid sewage fell down again, like a heavy rain.

At this moment, puff~ puff~
The surface of the earth was torn apart again, and two terrifying giant insects suddenly appeared.

Like a fish attracted by the bait, it wants to swallow Lear into its stomach.

He held the sword of fighting spirit in his hand and swung it for the second time!

"kill!"

Puff~The invisible blade slashed into his mind.

The terrifying fighting spirit directly destroyed his soul.

The body was intact, but dead.

Bang! The second torrential rain fell.

The last remaining giant insect was now pouncing towards him.

Lear's eyes fixed.

A mud hand suddenly rose from the mud below and stretched towards the sky.

Just grab the giant insect and suddenly tighten it.

The giant insect was unable to gain leverage in mid-air and was pulled down directly.

Right now.

A sharp knife made of mud rose up from the surface.

It extends to a height of more than ten meters.

The giant insect twisting in the void was grasped by the giant mud hand and slammed into the sharp knife.

puff~
The pressure of its own weight, coupled with the dragging force of the giant mud hand, caused the sharp knife to explode upward.

The mud knife pierced directly through the giant insect, piercing its body, revealing the tip of the knife covered with green slurry.

roar~
A shrill wail of pain resounded through the sky.

The giant worm twisted wildly, and the mud was slapped with a bang, splashing mud and water all over the sky.

Like a fish that has come ashore.

But the sharp knife condensed from the mud was like an unshakable mountain, and no matter how it struggled, it was of no avail.

But the vitality of the Earth's core blind worm is also exaggerated. It has been struggling for four or five minutes and there is no sign of stopping.

Lear raised his brow.

The mud blade suddenly sprouted spikes from its abdomen, piercing through its abdomen and directly piercing its head.
His body stiffened instantly, and after twitching a few times, his breathing gradually returned to normal.

Three level 14 earth-blind worms were killed in one encounter!
The ancient tree guardian below saw this scene, and the treetops trembled a little.
After assuming power, as long as he was in the swamp, he could directly mobilize the power of the entire swamp and reveal some of God's majesty.

But God cannot be challenged.

Until this moment, Lear could be considered to have truly high-level combat capabilities.

Looking down at the huge corpse that was as motionless as a city wall below, his mind moved slightly.

A small piece of scarlet rotten flesh spread out and directly swallowed several earth-center blind worms.

A wild monster of this size is as high as level 14, which is a considerable harvest.

Used to feed Scarlet Demonic Iron Ore, it can produce at least hundreds of pieces.

Blindworms usually live hundreds or thousands of meters underground.

Obviously, he showed up because he sensed the aura of authority.

But he showed up too late and gave away a lot of heads.

Thanks for the little gift, old man.

After an emergency was quietly resolved, Lear did not hesitate and flew into the air back to his territory.

The remaining ancient tree-man guardians rooted in the earth slowly pulled up their roots and began their journey back.

This battle is a clash of high-level heroes.

The level 12 ancient treeman guardian could only watch the battle from below.

I brought them here just to be on the safe side.

When Lear returned to the territory, several heroes had already led the cold-blooded cavalry to stop the wild monsters from entering the swamp.

In the territory, only the Naga King and the corrupted Nagas remained.

These wild monsters attracted by power are not very powerful, and a few heroes are enough to quell them.

If he wasn't worried about destroying crops and destroying pig pens and fish ponds, he wouldn't be so anxious.

This incident gave Lear an extra idea.

As the territory expands and grows, the enemies will become more fierce in the future.

Although the swamp has been cleared now, the vacant areas are undefended.

In the future, can the entire swamp be armed and turned into a forbidden zone of death with no way out?

Poisonous mosquitoes are everywhere, man-eating vines, unknown monsters hiding in the muddy water and hunting, powerful cyclops, ferocious swamp dragons, and mud that collapses when stepped on.
Swamp is synonymous with danger.

For most people, encountering swamps and wetlands in the wilderness would be to avoid them as far as possible.

Now, it is entirely possible to enhance the characteristics of the swamp.

Lear thought of the black-spotted red bloodworms he had encountered before.

Those poisonous insects usually hide underground, and when they encounter an enemy, they crawl out of the mud and bite the enemy. Their poison is extremely strong, and if you are not careful, they can take half of your life.

There is also the lost grass, which is used by the half-merfolk to sacrifice to the gods and can make people go crazy.
These are the specialties of the swamp.

If the marginal areas are planted with highly toxic plants and raised with poisonous insects.

Set some more traps.

Doesn’t this form a natural defense circle?
If we encounter a situation like today again, we won’t even need to send out the army. The outer defense circle can easily devour all the wild monsters in the wilderness.

Moreover, such an arrangement can also provide a steady supply of alchemical materials for the territory.

Thinking of this, Lear's mind emerged again the valley where the Dark Naga was located, which was shrouded in fog all day long and was full of unspeakable mystery and danger.

As far as he knew, there seemed to be magical plants in the swamp that could condense fog, which was why there was often thick fog in the swamp.

If you set up a circle around it, let the fog cover all directions, and then set up various traps in it or ambush heavy troops in some key areas.

So why worry about safety?
Those who should worry about their safety are those who trespass into the swamp!
After thinking for a moment, Lear asked someone to call Bain.

He was informed of the idea of ​​establishing a defensive area outside the silt swamp.

Finally said.

"Once the defense circle is built, the safety of Wei Lu City will be greatly improved, and the number of guards needed can be greatly reduced. We don't have to worry about the slightest disturbance like we do now."

"Our various industries can also develop in a stable environment."

Bain was quite surprised.

"My Lord, this is definitely a good idea. We have accumulated a lot of poisonous substances and we can make use of them."

Lear nodded.

The 3-star alchemical poison black-spotted bloodworm powder that was manufactured previously allowed the City of Wei Lu to destroy the nest of the giant flesh and blood mosquitoes and enslave the level 13 mosquito queen despite being short of troops.

He also made considerable contributions in the subsequent battle with the mermen.

Therefore, collecting highly poisonous substances has become a daily task in the territory during this period.

"You guys go down and discuss the specific arrangements. You can also let Grandma Green Grass get involved."

This is bound to be a major project and will take a long time.

After this topic was over, Lear changed the subject.

"Baine, the territory needs to rebuild a teaching building. We will teach the knowledge of the goblin system in the future."

Goblin knowledge?

Bane was stunned, and in his mind emerged an ugly image of a group of people who were cowering behind the carriage and wanted to rob the carriage but were cowardly and only dared to take action when their numbers were ten or twenty times the target.

"Sir, do goblins also have systematic knowledge?"

The existence of the old goblin gods is unknown to outsiders, and the same is true for Bane.

The murals that the army saw in the goblin ruins were only circulated within the army.

The civilization buried by the gods has long since disappeared into the dust.

Lear nodded slowly.

"They have a brilliant past that once made the gods tremble." "This is a major opportunity. If we can seize it, it will greatly enhance the foundation of Wei Lu City."

"But the relevant knowledge must be kept strictly confidential and cannot be leaked or made known to outsiders."

An ancient god who created an entire civilization, how much knowledge is hidden in his mind? It’s exciting to think about it.

We have a civilization that the whole world fears. Once it is exposed, it will cause an uproar. But will we not use it because of possible dangers in the future?

The swamp is his territory. Even if God comes, he cannot spy here.

Bain also became curious. Are the goblins really so extraordinary?
"My Lord, I will arrange it right away."

Lear nodded and continued to ask.

"How is the production of the Spider-Girl's armor going?"

"My Lord, 30 sets have been produced."

"For 2-star armor, the production process is much simpler and the efficiency is unexpectedly high."

"In addition, Lord Brin also forged a weapon for the Spider Banshee, which is as high as 3 stars!"

Bain was also very proud.

The blacksmith shop is now the main industry in the territory, and he has also put a lot of effort into its development.

Lear was very interested in the spider-woman's territory.

Now that the first batch of goods has been minted, we can go to the other party’s territory tomorrow.

He also wanted to see how wealthy his future partner was.

"I will lead a team to the Spider Banshee's territory tomorrow. You arrange the goods today."

"Yes, my lord."

"Also, has the location of the subsidiary city been decided?"

"I organized 20 swamp people to conduct a field survey and identified three locations. Please take a look."

"Well, what are these crosses and hooks?"

"Ahem, sir, this blueprint is a little sloppy. Look at this and this. The area we selected is 15 kilometers away from the edge of the swamp. It's not too far or too close. We can use the swamp as a barrier and buffer, and it can also shorten the distance to the City of Dew."

"I recommend this area the most. It's surrounded by muddy swamps, and the star vines have taken root here, so it forms a natural moat."

"That's good. I don't think the other two places have any advantages, so I'll choose this place. Immediately send 10 vine fairies to build it and lay the foundation first."

"This building does not need to be built to accommodate residents. It only needs to be built to accommodate trade and defense of outsiders. It should be built according to the standards of a fortress or a fortress."

"Yes, my lord."

In just a few words, Lear established a new city.

After gaining authority over the swamp, the entire swamp became his personal property, his back garden.

It can be planned and constructed completely according to the shape he wants. It feels so wonderful.

After Bain left, the city hall immediately became busy, and several departments began to allocate resources for the affiliated cities.

At the same time a new podium was built on the other side of the town hall.

The vine fairy has reached the maximum level, and the construction speed can be described as exaggerated. The three little cuties joined forces and completed the construction before evening.

This building is isolated from the outside world and can accommodate two to three hundred people at the same time.

In the future, this will be the new point of spread of goblin civilization.

But in-depth learning is no longer something that everyone can learn.

As for the specific selection of apprentices, he would let the goblin ancient god examine them himself when the time comes. He was too lazy to worry about it.

Anyway, we are all here to train talents for Weilu City, so it doesn’t matter who we choose.

I was busy here when suddenly an unexpected person asked to see me.

Lear looked at the barbarian Azaken, who saluted nervously and bent over for a long time without daring to stand up, with an amused look in his eyes.

This barbarian, whose name differs only by one letter from the goblin god, was a creature I encountered while out hunting more than two months ago when the city of Wei Lu was still young. (Chapter 34)
At that time, the other party was like a spider woman, claiming that she was looking for partners for foreign trade.

However, the territory was still very weak at that time, and it could even be said to have nothing.

Although he also wanted to engage in foreign trade, he was unable to do so and the cooperation was delayed.

These barbarians became the extra-staff labor force of the City of Wei Lu.

As the territory grew, the presence of these dozen people became less and less noticeable, so much so that Lear even forgot about them.

"Sir, the Hisham clan is also eager to trade with the City of Widow. Can I invite you to visit our territory?"

"The Hisham clan will definitely welcome you with the highest etiquette."

The barbarian leader spoke in an extremely humble tone.

He watched the City of Wei Lu grow little by little, and he knew better than anyone how terrifying this territory was.

In just two or three months, he had already acquired strength that the Hisham clan had not accumulated in more than ten years.

This terrifying growth potential is extremely horrifying.

If he waited a few more months, he couldn't imagine how much he would grow.

By then, the Hisham clan, which has thousands of barbarians, will probably be like ants in his eyes.

Moreover, it only takes four or five days to walk from the swamp to their clan.
He couldn't imagine what would happen in the future if the two sides had not established a friendship.

Even if it is not for trade, we have to cooperate with the City of Wei Lu for the sake of safety.

Lear looked at the savage with interest.

"If I remember correctly, the Hisham clan also produces ore."

"What do you need? Food, weapons?"

"My lord, we need everything, but what we need most is weapons. It is enough for you to trade with equipment that ordinary humans can use."

"We have accumulated a lot of precious and rare ores, which can be used to trade with you."

He had already been unable to sit still before, and the appearance of the Spider-Woman completely ignited the crisis in his heart.

If you don't take the initiative now, you won't have any chance at all.

Barbarians don't have much to show for themselves.
Li Er reached out and patted the other man's shoulder.

Said slowly.

"Azaken, the barbarians also shed blood for the City of Wisdom. Your two companions are still buried in the Tomb of Heroes."

"The City of Weilu will never forget you and your people, our hero, for winning this opportunity for your clan."

"My Lord, I, I."

The barbarian leader's eyes turned slightly red and his throat felt a little blocked.

A strong feeling of warmth emerged in my heart and I was deeply moved.

Adults have not forgotten their sacrifice!
A sentiment of "a man will die for his friend" emerged.

If he was not still carrying the important task entrusted by the patriarch, he really wanted to kneel down and pledge his allegiance.

It is definitely an honor for him and all the barbarians to be able to live and fight in such a territory!
"You will come with us to the Spider Woman's territory tomorrow. After you are done there, you can go to your Hisham clan."

"Yes!!"

Azaken was overjoyed.

The past few months have not been in vain, and he can finally complete the task assigned to him by the clan leader.

The barbarian leader, who had come here with trepidation, left with brisk steps.

When we returned to a nearby place, several waiting companions couldn't wait to come forward and ask, followed by a burst of cheerful cheers.

The people around him kept turning their heads. These barbarians were so happy to have found gold.
As soon as the barbarians left, the two-headed ogre chieftain came.

"dominate."

This fierce warrior with 5-star potential and a level 14 status seemed to be hesitant to speak.

No more refreshing as usual

Li Er looked curiously at the two-headed ogre chieftain, who was obviously worried, and asked.

"Et, what's going on?"

"Master, can I ask for a leave from you for a while?"

"Why?"

"You have granted me great power. I think I should go back to the Broken Star Plane."

"My father's revenge has not yet been taken, and that damned traitor is still sitting on the throne!"

"I want to go back and kill that bastard with my own hands, and take control of the Shattered Star Plane for you!"

"I promise you that when I return, tens of thousands of ogre warriors in the Broken Star Plane will be waiting for your orders!"

The rage in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.

The deep hatred tormented him all the time.

His favorite play before was Hamlet.

Although he is not a human prince, he will also complete his revenge!
Lear's eyes moved slightly.

Now that the matter of authority is completed, it is time to take action on that demiplane.

Just as he was about to speak, an intelligence tip suddenly popped up in his mind.

[The two-headed ogre chieftain, At, has triggered the fateful mission - the prince's revenge. His father was killed, his throne was taken away, and he himself was hunted down by his enemies and fell into a desperate situation. He could no longer bear it and was determined to complete his revenge! ]

[Note: This is a high-difficulty mission. The other party can only go alone. If there is external support, the destiny mission will automatically become invalid. ]

[If the other party can complete the revenge, he will further transform, completely release his potential, and conquer a half plane for you. ]

[Fated quest, a hero can only trigger it once in his lifetime, extremely rare. ]

Fateful mission?

There is also this saying
Looking at the serious gaze of the two-headed ogre chieftain, he pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly.

"Et, how sure are you?"

The two-headed ogre chief said word by word.

"Only death."

Lear was startled and then laughed.

"Go ahead and occupy that plane. When you return victorious, I will award you a 5-star medal of honor!"

If you don't have extraordinary abilities, you must have the courage to face death.

And the other party has both. (End of this chapter)
