Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 358 Island Five-Week Settlement
"Well done! Excellent performance!"

On the open ground in front of us, a sea lizard lay on the beach, its body frozen into an ice sculpture.

Before it, the little white dragon stood tall and proud, chest puffed out.

Compared to four days ago, it took it less than ten minutes to hunt a similarly sized sea lizard today.

And he was not injured.

It progressed very quickly, and its body also grew a little taller.

"It's progressing quickly, and it's grown a bit taller too." Qin Ziwen patted its head and gestured; the little white dragon had grown about four centimeters in the past three days.

During the battle, its appetite increased by almost twice as much as usual.

Every night when I get back, the first thing I do is lie down at the Giant Beast Breeding Center and fall asleep exhausted. Before, I had endless energy at night, climbing all over Blackie. But these past few days, I just lie down and fall asleep instantly.

Compared to its physical growth, its combat skills have improved even faster. From initially only being able to fight recklessly, it has now learned to use its abilities to wear down its prey.

It uses its innate frost touch, through claws and breath, to gradually slow down its prey's body, and then strikes to kill it once the prey's body is completely stiff.

"How was your performance? Not bad, right?" Qin Ziwen, like a proud old father, turned to look at Mogu behind him.

“This is a cunning little fellow.” A rare hint of tenderness appeared on Mogu’s stern face.

"We only have one week left," Qin Ziwen remarked, noting how quickly peaceful times pass.

Tonight at midnight, it will be the settlement for the fifth week.

"Have you checked on Hei Zai's situation?"

“I’ve seen it, and there hasn’t been much progress,” Mogu said, “because there’s no pressure.”

“Yes, without pressure, it’s not a battle, it’s just playing around.” Qin Ziwen looked down at the little white dragon.

The White Dragon is different; every opponent it fights is equally matched with it.

Qin Ziwen looked up. "Have you gone to see the underwater mountain range?"

"I've been there. The surface of that underwater mountain range is severely damaged, which should be related to the monster that appeared on the sea surface during the last rainstorm."

"I suspect they might be related in some way."

"Yes, it should be." Qin Ziwen thought of the scene when he saw it, the water jets spraying from his body, and the dense caves on the surface of the underwater mountain range.

Mogu said, "I went to the place where the silver marrow was found last time. The marrow inside was almost completely hollowed out, and there were crawling marks on the surface. It should be that the silver Bobbit worm took the opportunity to climb up and steal the marrow after the spider and jellyfish were lured away."

Qin Ziwen was stunned upon hearing this. Was this reasonable?

But upon closer reflection, this logic seems quite reasonable.

The monster groups inside had formed a kind of ecological balance with each other. Now that the balance has been broken, the Silver Bobbit Bugs, without any rivals, naturally swept through the enemy and won the spoils.

But the thought of the remaining silver marrow caused him a slight pang of heartache.

"What about those silver Bobbit worms?"

Mogu said, "We only found the smallest of the three pools; the rest of the larger ones have disappeared. They must have hidden somewhere else inside the mountain."

Qin Ziwen frowned, but eventually his brows relaxed.

Even finding three is fine.

These three smaller ones, compared to the other silver Bobbit worms in the pool, would be considered ten-meter-long worms if placed outside.

It can extract a lot of silver from blood.

This thing is valuable and can be traded later. If all else fails, you can use it yourself after finding a suitable way to dispose of it. At the very least, you can use it as a sacrifice. After all, it is a level three rare item.

"Are the merfolk tribe settled in? How are they reacting?" Qin Ziwen asked.

Mogu thought for a moment and gave an adjective: "Very obedient."

The fishman tribe began its great migration the day before yesterday.

Many fishmen who were willing to leave joined the community. Qin Ziwen was pleased with this, but these fishmen had to be recruited to join the community.

The loyalty of recruited murlocs is guaranteed; each newly recruited murloc is a drop of fresh blood.

Of course, in order to prevent the home from becoming a fishman's home in the future, Qin Ziwen also plans to recruit more suitable humans to join the home.

But at least for now, these murlocs have become a new force within the community.

Especially in terms of combat, a large number of merman warriors with high physical abilities have been added.

The next map is an underground cave. Generally speaking, places like underground caves have a high probability of having underground rivers, so the murloc warriors still have room to perform.

Now that our home is getting bigger and bigger, there's more than enough space to support more people.

"Let's go, that's enough training for today, let's head back." Qin Ziwen waved to the little white dragon.

Mogu didn't take a boat; he ran back directly across the sea.

Little White Dragon quickly followed behind Qin Ziwen. The two waited for the ferry at the dock, boarded the ferry, and were greeted by some fellow passengers.

Qin Ziwen has been taking Xiaobailong out every day for the past few days, and many passengers have become familiar with him.

Some daring people reached out to touch the fair-skinned little white dragon, but the little white dragon flicked its tail and jumped away.

If anyone tries to get closer, she flashes a sharp look and issues a warning!

The man was startled and dared not approach any further.

The ship docked, and the little white dragon followed its master around happily.

Everywhere in the neighborhood, residents beam with happiness.

In the past few days, every household in the community has stored up a lot of food.

For people who are terrified of hunger, food is of paramount importance.

Being able to store food means having a better chance of survival in the next map.

Back home, Qin Ziwen summoned the members of the Qin Alliance's core hunting team and told them about the next map.

Cao Biansheng was surprised. "An underground cave? That sounds like there's very little food. We need to prepare more food."

"We also need to prepare more plants, such as trees, because we might be short of wood in the next map," Li Yue suggested.

Zhao Pu adjusted his glasses. "The next map specifically mentions survival cooperation, so the difficulty might not be low."

"I'm more interested in whether there will be any new players coming to the next map. I wonder if they'll be complete newbies, or like the teaching building, 'newbies' who have been through several maps. After all, in a sense, we can also be considered a 'newbie force'," Qin Ziwu said half-jokingly.

He heard some inside information from his older brother, such as that the woman referred to those who had not completed more than five maps as "newbie Abyss".

Jia Liangcai said with a smile, "Whether you're a newcomer or not doesn't matter, as long as you're obedient."

Qin Ziwen said, "Anything is possible. After you go back, you can gradually spread the news so that everyone in the community can prepare. Then we need to refine fish oil. Lighting in the underground cave is a big problem, so we need to stock up on raw materials for torches."

"Yes, boss!"

As night fell, when the clock struck exactly midnight, a sound rang in my ears.

"You have successfully survived for five weeks on the Gobi Desert and Island maps. You are currently on day 37 on the Island map. You have collected and harvested a large amount of seafood, gathered a large number of fishmen, and built a boat. Overall score: 1251"

"Rewards received: [Function Card] Level 1 Anchor Chain, [Reward Card] Settlement Reward Tier +1, [Building Card] Level 1 Quarry *1"

The rewards this time are rather simple; there are only three cards in total.

There is also an ordinary quarry.

The only truly valuable items are the feature cards and a reward card that I've never received before.

In terms of value, this reward card should be in the same category as the feature card.
