Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'
Chapter 964 - 531: The Spirit Attribute of the Territory (4)
I have never seen a territory without strange monsters, but I have seen plots without strange monster examinations,
Some pioneers choose plots in remote areas where there are originally few strange monsters, and coupled with the pioneers’ considerable strength, most strange monsters are unwilling to risk their lives for cultivation level, even if the local deity coerces them, they still prefer not to come,
After three days, the examination completed, with no strange monsters coming to fight, but this still counts as a successful pioneering, because the territory knows the reason for this,
Seventh Master, I indeed didn’t see any strange monsters on your plot, but it’s not that no one came to examine it, wandering monsters came, and they didn’t come to cause trouble, they came for the examination, if you don’t let them take action, it’s deliberately cheating, the territory will definitely not agree."
Li Banfeng listened attentively, the concepts introduced by the cook gave Li Banfeng a new understanding of the territory, local deity, and pioneers.
Thinking about it, Li Banfeng found these concepts quite familiar, but he couldn’t figure out exactly why.
The territory acknowledges the local deity, who together with the territory protects the pioneers, this seems like the house, house spirit, and home cultivation...
Li Banfeng was still pondering, and Weng Fangqu quietly entered the territory while he wasn’t paying attention.
"Friends, you have worked hard, please sit." Weng Fangqu cleaned the green stone slab on the ground with his sleeve.
The three-headed people were about to sit down when Li Banfeng shouted: "You can’t sit, they’ve come to examine you!"
The twenty-five three-headed people suddenly understood, Weng Fangqu glared at Li Banfeng and began engaging the three-headed people.
The three-headed people had the advantage in physique, but their combat experience was really limited, and their combat techniques were extremely simple, relying solely on brute strength, the fight lasted less than ten minutes, and six three-headed people accidentally received three strikes from Weng Fangqu, losing their fighting ability and could only watch quietly from the side.
He Yuxiu was anxious, at this rate, the three-headed people stood almost no chance of victory. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Li Banfeng wasn’t worried, being anxious wouldn’t help, he couldn’t intervene in this matter.
He took two Gold Yuan Pills from his pocket and handed them to the cook.
The cook was shocked, the gift was too valuable.
"Seventh Master, I can’t accept this..."
"Take it, brother." Li Banfeng looked at the pioneer’s situation, then at the five thousand three-headed people waiting for water, it was clear that the Inner State had made a harsh move again.
The Inner State did not give Li Banfeng any strange monsters in this new land, which added legitimacy to the wandering monsters coming for examinations.
The combat power of wandering monsters is extremely high, making it extremely difficult to pioneer the new land.
If Li Banfeng wanted to borrow some wandering monsters from surrounding territories, no one would dare to lend them to him, as if someone’s strange monsters came, their local deities would end up offending the Inner State.
If Li Banfeng wanted to transport wandering monsters from his own territory, it would mean exposing his new land, and then the Inner State would definitely investigate Li Furong, potentially backfiring on Li Banfeng through the Contract Book of the new land.
This situation was tough to break.
In the midst of his deep thought, the battle had already concluded, within half an hour, all twenty-five three-headed people were defeated by Weng Fangqu.
This Weng Fangqu was very measured, he used Feng Cultivation Technique to control these twenty-five individuals, letting them leave the territory on their own, without killing anyone, although a few who resisted fiercely were injured by Weng Fangqu, the injuries weren’t severe.
This Weng Fangqu was very skillful, not angering Li Banfeng or He Yuxiu and yet gaining cultivation level.
A harrier flew by in the sky, Weng Fangqu looked up and saw the harrier lingering above the plot three times before he walked out of the plot.
He successfully defeated the pioneers this time, and the harrier recorded it, which would report it to Rong Si Jiao to fulfill the rewards for Weng Fangqu.
Weng Fangqu could choose to stay for more examination opportunities or pack his bags and leave on a high note.
But the old man was very clever, instead of choosing himself, he handed the choice to the local deity: "Lady, this is all I’ve got, still hoping to earn a meal here, will you favor me?"
He Yuxiu was tempted to smack him, certainly not allowing him to continue the examination.
On the other hand, Li Banfeng wanted to keep Weng Fangqu, because if Weng Fangqu left, other strange monsters might come to examine, and they might not be as restrained as Weng Fangqu, only competing without taking lives.
The cook noticed Li Banfeng’s thoughts and, having accepted the two Gold Yuan Pills, felt guilty, eager to help Li Banfeng with something: "Seventh Master, these pioneers have some tricks, they just lack understanding in combat techniques, with some guidance, they can match against wandering monsters."
Li Banfeng was pleased: "Brother Chu, you must help me with this."
The cook nodded: "Since the Seventh Master trusts me, hear me out first, first, we shouldn’t open any more plots of just one mile, we should start at least with three miles,
The cultivation level of wandering monsters is above the Fifth Layer, it’s not worth it to fight them over a one-mile plot, the first thing we should do is increase the size of the pioneering land to three to five miles, only allowing one or two wandering monsters in at a time to fight, this way, the pioneers can handle it, and the territory will also find it acceptable."
A one-mile plot is one square plot, a three-mile plot is nine square plots, a five-mile plot is twenty-five square plots.
The cook hit the point, fighting wandering monsters shouldn’t just get one square plot, the battle must be worthwhile!"
The cook continued, "The second thing we should do is make these pioneers understand how to fight, they like to charge straightforwardly in battles,
This tactic works against bagworm moths, with their arm strength alone, they can fight a bagworm moth, but it’s not suitable against Weng Fangqu,
