I'm building the perfect territory in the mist.

Chapter 41: Discovery of a Mysterious Resource Point!

When Shen Xing and Xia Wanyin rushed back to their territory, the battle was already over.

All that remained near the village was a large, triggered bear trap, along with tattered fur and blood.

The orcs were cleaning up the battlefield, their faces beaming with the joy of victory.

"Boss, you're back!"

Upon seeing the figures at the village entrance, Bloodhowl excitedly reported to the leader, "A pack of foolish wolf cubs just attacked, but we utterly thrashed them!"

Big Roar excitedly raised his double axes, exclaiming, "Haha! Boss, you've thought of everything! You've set up so many animal traps around the territory!"

"Those guys were so caught in the trap that they ran away with their heads in their hands, stepping on the left and then the right, finally running away with their tails between their legs!"

Shen Xing smiled and nodded, feeling relieved.

Although I had taken precautions before leaving home, I was still unsure at first.

So far, the animal traps are working even better than expected.

"Wow! Xinghuo, you knew Gideon would launch a sneak attack?" Xia Wanyin asked in surprise, "That's amazing!"

"No, it's just a habit to do more preparation."

Shen Xing replied, then looked toward the village entrance, where two corpses lay.

He pushed his wheelchair closer and took a closer look.

The two corpses looked no different from ordinary people, with Western faces, except that their facial hair was unusually thick.

"This is a werewolf. It can transform during battle and has three forms."

Xia Wanyin's voice rang out from behind, a hint of anger appearing on her pretty face: "As expected, it's Gideon. This is his main force."

A thoughtful look appeared in Shen Xing's eyes as he asked, "Do you know where his territory is located?"

"I don't know." Xia Wanyin shook her head. "He's probably afraid of retaliation, so he's being very cautious."

"I tried to find his territory before, but he deliberately shook me off."

She paused, then tentatively asked, "Spark, are you going to deal with him?"

Shen Xing didn't speak, her fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of her wheelchair, her eyes slightly cold.

Those who target other lords are the biggest destabilizing factor in the area.

Moreover, the other party has already found its territory and will almost certainly continue to attack it.

Shen Xing didn't think that a batch of animal traps would be enough to completely scare the other party away.

Therefore, this problem must be solved!

"Spark, if you're going to deal with him, count me in."

Xia Wanyin volunteered, saying, "I know some of his background, and this guy is also my enemy. I've wanted to settle accounts with him for a long time."

Shen Xing nodded: "Okay, let's join forces."

"If he attacks your territory during this period, send me a message immediately and I will bring people to support him."

"Yes, you too." Xia Wanyin nodded solemnly.

Faced with a common enemy, their temporary alliance was formally established.

At this moment, Shen Xing noticed several orcs gathered around the campfire, silently cleaning their wounds.

"Are you injured?" Shen Xing pushed the wheelchair over.

"Yes, boss. I got scratched a few times by these wolf cubs. It's just a minor injury," the orc replied nonchalantly.

Shen Xing frowned, and his expression gradually darkened.

I am still not mature enough, and I haven't considered things thoroughly enough.

Although more than a hundred animal traps were made in advance and placed around the village, it was still not enough.

If we had made several thousand bear traps, along with some pitfalls and spike traps, and then built dozens or hundreds of arrow towers, this situation would not have occurred.

Okay, that's decided!

Once resources are plentiful, we must dig more traps and make more animal snares to vigorously develop our territory.

At that time, no matter who dares to attack our territory, we will make sure they never return!

"Hellroar, go to the Moon Well and fetch some water for the injured brothers." Shen Xing took a wooden bucket cup from his backpack and handed it over.

"Yes, my lord!"

The orc took the cup and strode toward the moon well.

The once dry well bottom is now filled with a layer of clear spring water that shimmers with a silvery glow.

Although it's a small amount, it should be enough to share with these few beastmen.

Hellscream bent down and scooped around in the well for a while, finally managing to scoop up half a cupful, which he then distributed to the wounded orcs.

The cool well water flowed down their throats, and a hazy light spread through their bodies.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the still-bleeding claw marks scabbed over at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Wow! This water is really effective; it helps us recover faster than if we just slept!"

"That's fantastic, boss!"

The beastmen stretched their bodies, gazing at their lord with expressions of adoration.

Shen Xing was also very satisfied; the well water produced by the Moon Well was even better than he had imagined.

Then, he directed the orcs to rearrange the animal traps around the territory.

While it's unlikely that the same tactic will work twice against the same enemy, it can still make the opponent hesitant to act.

After this failure, that guy probably won't dare to come back anytime soon.

"Let's continue exploring. The lantern still has a few hours left, let's not waste them." Shen Xing put aside his thoughts and turned to Xia Wanyin.

"it is good."

Xia Wanyin responded and led her team of light elves to the village entrance.

Next, they first walked around the surrounding area and carefully checked the area within a radius of several hundred meters.

Only after confirming that the guy had completely left did they continue their exploration deeper into the fog.

[Successfully activated the Black Crystal Tower; Territory Resources: Black Crystal production has increased...]

[Successfully lit the Afterglow Sacrifice Tower; Territory resource: Afterglow Fire production has increased...]

[Successfully captured a small black iron ore vein...]

...

The notifications kept popping up, and Shen Xing could almost see the green dots on the minimap light up one after another.

Moreover, because it's a two-person team, the two lanterns can be used alternately, greatly extending the exploration time.

In just a few hours, they found seven or eight resource points, almost as many as they had in the previous week!

This made him even more amazed at how terrifying Xia Wanyin's abilities were; she was practically a human walking radar!

Just then, Xia Wanyin, who was walking at the front of the group, suddenly sensed something and paused slightly: "Huh? I hear the sound of machines!"

"There's actually a resource point like this near your territory."

Shen Xing asked in confusion, "What?"

"Come on, I'll take you there and you'll see." Xia Wanyin smiled mysteriously and turned around with light steps.

Shen Xing felt strange, but he still followed the girl in the white dress and walked to the other side.

The team consisted of more than twenty people, traversing the desolate plains covered by thick fog.

Soon, they arrived at the edge of a forest.

The trees were rooted in the earth, their trunks completely black, as if they had been burned.

The dense canopy was devoid of leaves, instead sprouting numerous black vines.

The vines between the trees are interconnected, forming an impenetrable wall of vines.

"There's actually such a large forest near my territory?" Shen Xing was somewhat surprised, as he hadn't noticed it before.

"That's not all!" Xia Wanyin said excitedly, "There are some good things inside!"

"Oh?" Shen Xing's interest was piqued, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

They entered the heart of the forest and continued forward.

Although there were a few lost cats behind the big tree, trying to trick and ambush them.

But before they could get close, they were riddled with bullets by the light elf archers beside Xia Wanyin.

Shen Xing pondered to himself, "The Light Elf unit is indeed very strong."

Moreover, unlike ordinary initial units that can only choose one direction to develop, her Light Elf seems to be able to evolve into units of multiple classes.

Shen Xing had already seen the light elf warriors wielding lightsabers, the archers shooting light arrows, and the light elf guardians who could previously conjure light shields.

As mentioned earlier, there are countless paths for the evolution of military units, which can be guided by human intervention.

Because Shen Xing greatly increased the agility of the troops through [Sacrifice Evolution], the evolution direction of the orcs is basically also agility-type.

Similarly, during the growth of troops, they can learn to use different weapons and combine them with certain treasures to evolve in the direction desired by the lord.

However, such treasures are usually very expensive, and ordinary lords cannot afford them, nor would they waste them on these initial troops.

It seems that Xia Wanyin must have spent a lot of money to evolve these light spirits into multiple professions.

Just as he was thinking about these things, the team had already reached the deepest part of the forest.

Before him lay a peculiar area.

Several drafty wooden houses were surrounded by wooden fences, and in the middle was a large processing plant from which the sound of logs being cut could be heard continuously.
