Two days later.
On one of the coastlines of Daxia, five ships with countless runes inscribed on their hulls were docked in, and the hunters were busy carrying off a lot of supplies from the ships.
A small deserted village along the coast had become a temporary stronghold of the "Heavenly Wolf Palace".
With the presence of the ship's mermaid statue, the sea beasts were mostly out of the way, making the sea a natural safety barrier instead.
A man sat cross-legged in a small courtyard, a strange red mist appearing on his two slender swords, and in front of him, a ping-pong ball-sized transparent crystal ball hovering, countless energy pouring into the man, Nishimura.
"Soon, in less than a month, I'll be able to officially breakthrough into Transcendent!"
He couldn't help but look at the transparent crystal ball suspended in front of him, "This bead, it is indeed a treasure. Without its help, I'm afraid it will take me at least a year to break through to Transcendence."
Once he remembered the origin of this bead, a trace of scorn flashed across Nishimura's eyes.
Not that he acquired it from the secret realm, the Life Saint Fruit and the Rune Ship... were his biggest gain in that secret realm, and it gave him the strength to overrule the hunters in the entire Nine Dome Island.
But Nishimura knew that the so-called overruling was only aimed at humans in the Fifth and Fourth Age... However, the secret realm he strayed into... If it weren't for the few people who had awakened and gone out of the realm, He was afraid that there would be someone among them comparable to him now. Nishimura's strength reached the awakening stage of great perfection. Under other adventures, Nishimura's strength not only did not stagnate but continued to grow. Faced with the self who had just touched the great perfection level a month ago, Nishimura felt that he could now fight two. In the Fourth Age, there were still people stronger than him.
The "Heavenly Wolf Palace" could control most of the Nine Dome Island, but ...
Nishimura remembered the mysterious man whose face could not be seen and whose body was shrouded in shadow!
The treasure pearl that secretly supports "Heavenly Wolf Palace" and helps him cultivate quickly also comes from that mysterious person.
Nishimura had a test, and the mysterious man was unfathomable, at a transcendent level at least. However, he couldn't figure out the mysterious person's purpose.
Knock knock!
"Come in."
The female secretary pushed open the door and bowed, "Lord Nishimura, it has been investigated. We are located in the East Sea Province of the Daxia Country, more than a hundred kilometers away; there is a large shelter called 'Yongan'. There should be hundreds of thousands of survivors, tens of thousands of Hunters. Still, most of them are low-level hunters."
The five ships of the "Heavenly Wolf Palace" were very big, but they were only ships after all, and the "Heavenly Wolf Palace" group that came to Daxia Country was less than 20,000 people. But, unlike the shelters of the Daxia Country, these 20,000 people were all hunters, the new human beings who were most capable of adapting to the times after the end of the world!
There were more than 1,000 sixth-level masters, far more than the one shelter in Daxia could compare!
With their "Heavenly Wolf Palace" strength, it would be easy to take over a large shelter with the right strategy!
"Foolish!" Nishimura scoffed
"Daxia country is rich in resources and has the world's largest population, and it should not be underestimated. Even if we can capture one of the shelters in the East Sea Province, there will be no less of these types of shelters, either.
We are new to the country. The most important thing is to find a suitable landing place, look for resources, seek development, and then make a plan."
The female secretary deliberated for a moment, "But... we found that there are several important resource points around Yongan Shelter, and one of the timber resource points, the high-grade timber produced, is the main material for us to make rune ships."
Nishimura: "..."
After pondering for half a second, he raised his head, "Let the "Warriors of the Heavenly Wolf Palace" do it. I want to build five more rune ships."
...
Donghae Province, Luoxia Shelter.
As the earliest shelter that opened up a sub territory, in the Luoxia Shelter, you could see very obvious Tree Shade characteristics.
The hunters wore standardized combat clothing. There were cheetah series, beacon series, wild ape series...the styles were very different, each with their unique appearance. The Hunters wearing high-level combat uniforms often get a dozen enviable eyes when they walk on the road...
Many people even put the badge, which symbolizes the adventurer's star rating, on their chests.
Three stars is an elite adventurer, and four stars is already a master with a brand name. Five stars is one in a thousand, enough to lead a large adventurer group.
Six-star...In the entire Luoxia, there are currently only a few big adventurers who have stepped into it. It was said that the number of six-star adventurers at the headquarters of the Tree Shade Adventurers' Guild could be multiplied dozens of times.
Since a few months ago, the "Adventurer's Guild" was formally established in the Luoxia shelter and has grown to replace the original Mercenary Association.
Unlike some shelters in Tiannan Province, Tree Shade and Luoxia have always maintained a good cooperative relationship. The replacement of the Mercenary Association by the Adventurers' Guild was a gradual and peaceful evolutionary process.
Tree Shade has expanded its influence, the official of Luoxia could also issue commissions in the guild, thus calling on the adventurer experts at headquarters, and the commissions issued by the official of Luoxia take priority ...
It's a win-win solution for everyone.
The awakened person in Luoxia was no stranger to Tree Shade at this time.
The Teleportation Array is currently only open to the direction department of the territory. Still, the airplane has a daily flight between Luoxia and Tree Shade, and many Tree Shade Hunters are active here.
By communicating with each other, the strength of the Hunter group has improved rapidly.
In addition to the "Adventurer's Guild" on this street where the hunters come and go, there were also two tall and magnificent buildings.
"Extreme Martial Arts Hall" and "Trade House".
The name "Ultimate Martial Arts Center" was the only martial arts center in the shelter, and it looks no different from other private forces. Still, the Ancestral Dragon Special Warfare Group of the Luoxia area has more than 80% of hunters who have studied at the "Ultimate Martial Arts Center".
There were disciples of Tree Shade's martial arts everywhere!
The "Trading House" was the largest institution in terms of floor space, with a huge number of transactions made here every day, making it the most prosperous commercial center in Luoxia.
A budding Hunter often needs to undergo simple training at the Ultimate Martial Arts Center, then go to the Trading House to buy the cheapest new equipment, and then go to the Adventurer's Guild to register and receive commissions ...
The same goes for the senior hunters.
The three major organizations have become the most familiar and longest-running places for Hunters. Tang Yu hopes that the three institutions will be opened in every large shelter on Earth and integrated into the life of every awakened person one day.
Where there were humans, there were traces of Tree Shade.
However, at present, there is a long way to go, except for the territory of Tiannan Province, other places to carry out the work are not smooth.
Because of various reasons, Tang Yu increased his investment in Luoxia, prioritizing its reclamation into fertile land suitable for vegetable growth. Originally hoping to take Luoxia as the center and slowly spread the vegetable field to the entire East China Sea Province, turning other people's garden into his own ...
But Tang Yu underestimated the difficulty of this project, the care of their own vegetable gardens lacked manpower. Thus the progress of opening up the land was limited.
The entire East China Sea Province, in addition to the "Ultimate Martial Arts Museum" stationed in several large shelters, "Adventurer's Guild" and "Trading House", only in Luoxia, has been established.
The result was that some neighboring shelters often have their hunters escape to Luoxia and then... didn't return.
...
North of Luoxia, Yongan shelter.
Director Cui Xinsheng has been very upset recently. He was not very interested in mercenaries, and he was weak, undisciplined, and could run faster than anyone in danger. Whenever he had benefits, he was like a shark that smelled its prey.
He had never been interested in them and was keener on training the full-fledged Hunter, who could be directed to fight anywhere and had a higher completion rate.
However, recently, the shelter had lost a lot of mercenaries, and Cui Xinsheng was shocked to find that there was insufficient manpower within his shelter. The person responsible for this matter The high-level officials often approached him to complain.
The person in charge of the mission center walked with a sad face, "Director, the number of mercenaries receiving the escort mission of the two mines in the West Wind Plains is not up to the requirement, which may cause the escort team to be damaged on the road.
Also, the patrol mission of the White Tree Heights, recently the number of people who took it has greatly reduced. From the original half an hour patrol shift to now has been extended to more than an hour. In the White Tree Heights cutting high-level timber survivors, recently there have been dozens of people have been attacked by demonic beasts, fifteen of them killed. More importantly, because of this incident, timber collection efficiency was greatly affected. "
Around Yongan Shelter, there were three major resource points.
On the West Wind Plain, there was a black stone mine, which produces rare minerals including black stone, and another, a dark source crystal mine, which was also the main source of crystal income for the Yongan Shelter.
These two mines, tens of hundreds of kilometers away from the shelter, were relatively far away. They are unable to set up a safe mining area and often send mining teams during the day, with full-fledged troops, and employ hunter escorts (there were also some low-level Awakened who become miners). However, now, both the number of miners and escorts has been greatly reduced.
White Tree Heights was geographically safer because it was closer to the shelter. Lumberyards were built over there, and mercenary patrols were hired to form a certain range of safety zones, and the collection efficiency was much higher than the other two mines.
The three major resource sites are the lifeblood of Yongan.
Cui Xinsheng was unwilling to let the "Adventurers Guild" settle in, but he couldn't afford to lose his shelter.
"Increase the reward for those mercenaries and hunters. I can afford to pay them more as long as I can prevent that adventurer guild from being stationed here!"
....
An hour later, the news of something happening in White Tree Heights came suddenly.
Cui Xinsheng sent an elite squadron to scout, to no avail. Their life and death were unknown.
He sent another Ancestral Dragon brigade, and as a result, it was also miserably defeated, with heavy losses of Hunter's life.
"It's human, but not from several surrounding shelters. The information doesn't match...where the hell did it come from?"
Cui Xinsheng's head was spinning. He had the intention to send out his Awakened Warriors again, but he was worried about the losses, and it was not a good idea to issue a mission in the mission center ... Now in Yongan, there were not many strong people among the mercenaries - the Ancestral Dragon Brigade had been defeated, and sending three or two kittens over there would be foolish.
Thinking for a long time, Cui Xinsheng exhaled a long breath and looked at his beloved beside him. For a moment, it's as if he had aged a few years.
"You go to Luoxia, in the "Adventurer's Guild" to issue a commission to scout the enemy situation in the White Tree Heights."
