My troops evolve infinitely

He picked up the second prey.

"No, we can't eat this one either. Forget it, the monsters in this place are already heavily contaminated. Even the suitable species aren't suitable for eating. Finding a high-grade ingredient would be even more heartbreaking. It's better not to have found one at all."

If there is a wyvern in there, but the dragon meat is already stained with filth and cannot be eaten... it's a pity to think about it.

Thinking of this, she stopped digging.

I just couldn't help smacking my lips.

Not far away, Sario, who was patrolling the surroundings at low altitude, shuddered for no reason. He glanced at Xiluo, thought for a moment, and decided to fly away.

"It's strange. I, Uncle Sa, clearly wouldn't be afraid of this red dragon in a fight, but why can't I help but feel scared?"

While the elites were patrolling, Mu Yuan put away the treasures he had obtained from purifying the Root of Filth and continued to gaze at the sky.

Along the way, even though they avoided monsters whenever possible, they still gained a lot.

Halfway through, Dolai even discovered a soul sand vein.

After a brief exploration, Mu Yuan was 100%, if not 90%, certain that this was a small soul sand mine. Don't underestimate the word "small." So far, all the reports he'd heard about lords discovering mineral veins during his time were limited to microscopic veins.

"If a micro-soul sand vein is fully mined, it can yield thousands of soul crystals in total."

"The total reserves of a small soul sand mine are said to be between 10,000 and 100,000 crystals. Of course, mining the entire mine is no easy task; it's both laborious and time-consuming."

It can be as short as one year or as long as several years or even more than ten years.

But no matter what, he could be said to have turned his luck around by discovering a small soul sand mine around the territory, escaping Africa and entering Europe - even in uncultivated lands, mineral deposits were far from being seen everywhere.

It is even rarer if it happens to be in an area near the territory.

He, Lord Tianyuan, could get rid of his status as a poor man overnight and become a local tycoon with a mine at home.

This was a happy occasion, but Mu Yuan couldn't be too happy. Compared to the mineral deposits, the location of the territory was what he was most eager to understand.

He went all the way south just to look for clues.

It could be a landmark terrain or an ancient relic—he mentioned the Black Mountain, but in the vast eternal world, giant peaks that towered into the sky were not particularly special.

What Mu Yuan wanted to find most, and was most likely to find, were some special traces.

——The traces left behind by the Taixuan pioneers who set up camp deep in the wilderness.

If such traces can be found, there is hope of locating the location.

Unfortunately, he didn't find anything.

"We need to change our strategy and focus on defending and concealing our territory."

he thinks.

The view returns to Tianyuan Territory.

The light from the sky shines on the earth, and the small town of Tianyuan, standing among the lush woods, appears more eye-catching.

Mu Yuan walked into the Staff of Heavenly Power.

"How about it."

He looked at Isloya.

Isloya obviously hadn't slept all night, but this was just basic exercise for her. How could she, a young epic life, waste her precious time sleeping?

She said seriously, "Soon."

In the Nine-Turn Furnace area, a large-scale spell is being upgraded.

The progress bar has reached 99.8%.

quickly,

"Ding!"

"Tip: The large-scale spell 'Night Shroud' has been upgraded to 'Night Shroud Phantom'. Please check for details."

This was the magic that Mu Yuan hastily combined last night using the power of Sophie Crow.

It almost broke his bank.

It almost made Isloya bald.

After all, the Lord's requirements are a bit high, requiring the ability to 'cover the entire territory, have a long duration of magic, be able to eliminate the breath of life, obscure the territory' and so on.

She was also required to come up with a plan before three o'clock in the morning.

This is embarrassing for her, Isloya! She is really not a god of magic.

But it was the Lord's mission after all, so what could she do? She could only work hard.

By the middle of the night, the plan Isloya had come up with wasn't very feasible. Mu Yuan knew he was forcing her.

No matter how hard she tried, it was impossible for Isloya to complete a task that would take a week or two in just a few hours.

Mu Yuan only hoped that Isloya could come up with a semi-finished product, and the rest would be left to the Staff of Heavenly Power.

after that,

The power Lord Mu loaded into his body shifted constantly between Sophia and Dolai. He drank bucket after bucket of recovery potion, draining his body time and time again, before finally integrating this large-scale spell in just half an hour.

His hands were shaking when he walked down from the Scepter of Heavenly Power.

With some anticipation and nervousness, Mu Yuan looked at this large-scale spell.

"Large Spell: Night Shroud (occupies 20 spell slots)"

"Description: Creates a massive curtain that obscures the target area, obscuring vision. This large-scale spell can also block the aura within the enveloped area to a certain extent."

"Note ①: This technique cannot be fully utilized during the day, but it is enhanced at night."

"Note 2: This technique can last up to two hours."

Mu Yuan nodded.

He was satisfied, but not completely satisfied.

The functions of the Night Hidden Phantom Curtain in restraining aura and concealing territory are both most urgently needed at the moment.

Tianyuan Territory stood out in the vast mountains and forests, making it too conspicuous. If there were any powerful monster forces nearby, they would be easily discovered and exposed to the eyes of intelligent monsters.

When you are uncertain about the surrounding situation, everything should be based on stability.

It is equally important to shield your breath.

You should know that the longer a territory exists in the Eternal World, the more likely it is to attract the attention of surrounding monsters. Therefore, even if a completely new player has not developed or built a territory and has not expanded its military strength, they will still encounter more and more monsters as time goes by.

As for Tian Yuan Ling, he was dragged directly into the depths of the wilderness. Monsters were densely populated here, and a single thrown brick could hit several elite monsters. Tian Yuan Ling's appearance was like throwing a cake into a pile of flies.

In a few days, monsters will swarm in and form a wave.

Even at this time, monsters emerged from all directions, and some even hit the city walls.

Mu Yuan likes to harvest monster waves, but doesn't like to be harvested by the waves.

"Unfortunately, the Night Hiding Illusion Curtain can only block auras to a certain extent. Its effect on the territory is also quite ordinary. It can't hide it from intentional monsters, and if it gets closer, it can be directly ignored."

"Secondly, this large-scale spell can only last for two hours..."

This is equivalent to saying that he needs to keep spending money on krypton crystals, or empty himself.

hum-

The phantom curtain of night spread silently over the Tianyuan Territory.

The sky became darker, as if covered by dark clouds. This was an unavoidable side effect of the Night Illusion.

Mu Yuan observed for a while, and when he saw that the invading monsters began to decrease, he nodded slightly.

But the mission is not over yet.

"Next, we have to recombine and fuse together a more suitable concealing technique. This will require both of us to work very hard."

He contributes.

Isloya comes up with the idea.

The two of them were killing each other, probably.

……

In the next few days, the exploration team changed their strategy. Instead of heading south, they explored all directions, trying to find out the situation in the surrounding areas.

"We have discovered a snakeman tribe and a goblin tribe in the south. There are only two of them."

The bones have penetrated at least hundreds of kilometers, but only two tribes have been found.

Mu Yuan didn't rule out the possibility of more undiscovered creatures, but this number was still too small. Is this area safe? No, there are many monsters in the south, but there aren't any monster camps, and there are only two established tribes.

From a rough glance at the two monster tribes from a distance, the Skeletons could tell that they were far stronger than the Spider Woman Tribe in the dungeon.

The tribe's territory is very large, with more than one totem pillar standing inside. You can vaguely see that it is a human body with black wings on its back and a crow's beak.

In the mountains to the north, Deadbones discovered three tribes: Gnolls, Jackals, and Kobolds.

The totem poles worshipped by these three tribes are different from those of the snakemen and goblin tribes in the south.

Maybe different factions?

Mu Yuan was not sure whether the large tribes in the north and south, hundreds of kilometers apart, were aware of each other's existence. He had been here for too short a time, and could only gather simple information.

There is a gnoll tribe and a dog-headed tribe in the north, not far away, but the two seem to be at peace.

"The biggest possibility is that there are even more powerful monster forces above these tribes."

He pondered.

In the previous Shiling Town area, the snake chieftain unified three camps and formed a monster tribe; then the spider leader swept across the world and conquered several underground tribes.

It can be seen that intelligent monsters will attack and swallow each other.

However, the Snakeman and Spiderwoman tribes didn't last long, so it wasn't surprising that the longer-lived monsters in the depths of the wilderness gradually grew stronger and developed into large-scale forces.

Most of the monster tribes here have backers!

There are no monster camps here, probably because they have all been swallowed up.

"So, before the situation becomes clear, I can't just attack these monster tribes. Besides, they're not weak, and I don't know what cards they hold. I absolutely can't treat them with the same old perspective."

In the early years, there were high-level players in the pioneering group who thought that defeating a mere monster tribe was not enough. Nowadays, the grass on the graves of those players is very tall.
