After the decisive battle with Wild Howl, the Storm Team added three more wounded who needed careful care. They were carried to the open space in the dome for treatment by Neo, while Barritt returned to the temporary camp with two men, Mach and Valentin.
Lead the people to move here
To be honest, more than 300 people have been waiting for this day for a long time. Their supplies have been packed long ago, and they can set up camp as soon as the order is given. Of course, the actual migration process is not easy, mainly because there are several narrow tunnels along the way.
It's difficult to do. Fortunately, the Storm Team is well prepared. They have already started thinking about how to open up roads and flat land a few days ago. The main person responsible for solving these problems is naturally Valentine, who has dwarf blood and is good at construction and digging holes.
After nearly 40 days of being raised, the slaves' bodies have become noticeably stronger. Their sallow complexions and skinny appearance have gone forever. Now, although they can't say they are all rosy, they have reached the general level of the people.
There were still a few salesmen who could use their strength. Under the command of Valentine, they excavated rocks and filled gullies along the way, and finally arrived at the dome after 20 hours.
Neo ordered the slaves to rest for a day, taking this opportunity to settle down the wounded and sick, unfold all the supplies, and explore the terrain of the dome, the blueprint for the construction of the stronghold, divide the areas, set up the furnace, and prepare for the actual start of the work.
Although the shape of the dome is irregular, preliminary estimates suggest that the area of 13,000 square meters should be just a little more. It is more compact and can accommodate 300-500 people. The environment of the dome is special. There is no need to repair the city wall, but it is important.
However, the construction of the barrier on the access road cannot be careless. There is no shortage of rocks and soil in the cave. Unfortunately, there is not much firewood. It is not easy to burn bricks to build a house.
Starting from the third day, everyone was mobilized and divided into three teams. One team built stone walls, one team leveled the land, and one team built blacksmith shops and made tools. Although the tools in everyone's hands were slightly lacking, the iron
It was expected to be quite sufficient, and there were 6 slaves who knew the blacksmith craft. Although they were not as good as Neo, they could make some simple shovels, picks, hammers, and chisels. Neo, an excellent blacksmith, was able to free up his labor and be able to work wholeheartedly.
Playing with his little botanical garden
This botanical garden is built next to the pond, using the thorns that have grown as pillars and beams to outline the general outline. It only covers an area of 200 square meters. Neo wants to build this place like the botanical garden in the Hurricane cabin area.
In this way, even surface plants can be planted, which is very helpful for potion research. However, if you really want to reach that level, you must go to the valley lake. Whether it is equipment or energy crystals, they are all
The necessary supplies for the construction of the botanical garden, and the stronghold cannot get so much firewood for burning bricks. It is necessary to rely on the power of fire element crystals. In addition, it is time to contact Bells, so this long trip is imminent.
The dome has just been captured, and there are no defensive facilities. Neo is not worried about leaving. Besides, there is a lot of work to be done, so Neo, like everyone else, has been busy for seven days in a row.
The land that needs to be leveled is almost 10,000 square meters. According to the plan, the main roads of the stronghold are in the shape of the sacred character "well". All important facilities, such as the Lord's Mansion, the Public Service Office, and the Military Affairs Office, are built near the core of the "well" character.
Next to the street, the land in the center of the 'well' character is temporarily vacant. Neo plans to build this place into a mage tower if conditions permit in the future. It doesn't need to be complicated. There are no folding spaces, summoning rooms, or arcane gardens.
If you need it, you only need two important facilities. The first is the elemental pool, which can absorb the concentrated elemental energy and the energy called psionic energy in the underdark. The second is the magic clock. The last thing Neo wants to see is his territory.
We live in a haze every day and have no sense of time, so we have made up our minds to build this magic clock, which is more urgent than the elemental pool.
Neo didn't bother to name this dome, so he just called it "Wild Howl". There were three passages, and the main passage was naturally the focus. The other two, because they meant different paths leading to the same destination, so Neo simply gave the order.
Next, one of the tasks of blocking one of them was done by Commander Valentin. His workmanship was good, and both ends were neatly marked. If you don’t pay close attention, you won’t be able to tell that there is a road there.
There happens to be a straight passage on the other road. The road is quite wide, about 5 meters. With this width, there is no danger to defend. If you encounter a stronger enemy, you can rush into the dome in minutes. Neo simply set up a dome in the middle of the passage.
Two-meter-wide planting ponds are planted with thick thorns from the sky to the ground. Each flower pond is 20 meters long, a total of 4. They can be connected from left to right, and one avenue becomes two paths about 1.5 meters wide.
, with such an arrangement, it does not take many people to guard the passage and wait for support, which is more suitable for the situation where the blast team has a small number of soldiers. Moreover, these thorns are of a special variety, and their ability to replace air is very powerful, and their growth ability is also controlled.
Some unique technical techniques can convert the absorbed psionic energy into cold light, forming clusters of thorny light flowers for lighting.
In addition to the thorn barrier, the barrier is naturally indispensable. There are two front and back, five meters thick. The door here is not too particular. It is directly sealed from the ground to the top with big rocks, and then a 2.5-meter iron hoop wooden door is installed in the middle. This
The surface of the heavy wooden door is also transplanted with rock moss. With this plant, in a few months, the wooden door will have a fossil-like texture, which is strong, fire-resistant, and impact-resistant. Rock moss is an improved variety, and its seeds were planted by two people from the Senmu tribe.
Provided by Druid
Although the two druids of the Senmu tribe have a somewhat eccentric temperament, they are also highly respected by everyone. After all, these two Cordim have always been responsible for the team's doctors and have always contributed a lot. Everyone knows that there will be more in the future.
I have a headache and a fever, so I can't help but trouble others.
The spiritual path of these two druids has many similarities with Neo. Therefore, Neo, who has won a lot from the beautiful adjutant, and the two druids have been getting along very well recently. Neo learned from the two druids.
Rui obtained a lot of valuable plant seeds and related knowledge, as well as the wild potion skills mastered by the druids. The two druids were not at a loss. Although the potion science studied by the beautiful adjutant was not good enough.
It made the two of them scoff, but it was good as a reference, especially the bright and good ideas contained in the knowledge, which opened the eyes of the two druids, inspired them frequently, and improved their professional skills by a full level.
With the help of these two Senmu Druids, many things can be solved easily. For example, Neo's thorns are very tough, but not rigid enough, so they are not suitable for being used as stakes in the trench in front of the first sealing wall.
Yes, the two druids have suitable plants, ground bamboo shoots
This plant has a special appearance. It looks like a sharp spear growing out of the soil. It has no branches or leaves. It relies entirely on a main root to survive by absorbing the power of the earth element. Its roots can grow to more than ten meters. With a simple rowing method,
Under the design, it can also resonate with the elements and rock the surrounding ground. The longer it exists, the stronger it becomes. It is also suitable to use this plant to build a defense system for permanent or semi-permanent fortifications.
In addition to ground bamboo shoots and rock moss, Druid also provides another great plant, the street lamp tree. This plant has also been improved many times. After its shape, it looks like a big ladle and a long pole.
, there is a big hanging head at the top, just like a half-opened flower. The outer leaves are as thick as palm skin, and the big ball inside is like a lotus. This thing can shine, with clear colors.
It is perfect for lighting and the roots of this street lamp tree can be intertwined together. Since it requires water element energy, the general approach is to build a water element energy pool and then extend a large pile of roots into it.
Among them, the street lamp tree naturally absorbs energy. The power consumption of the street lamp tree is not high. The only disadvantage is that it grows extremely slowly. However, this disadvantage is not a problem for Neo. He has the power of building trees and the Luna Well Array.
, any plant in his hands can be spawned into shape in a very short period of time. This is also a major reason why Neo chose the plant path and potion science.
The amount of work on the back entrance of Wild Howling Dome is not large, but Fan Lunding still directed the workers to do the work to perfection. In the first fork of the passage, Fan Lunding used some small tricks to design the road to be more deserted.
And an echo wall was created so that when adventurers enter this area, it is easy to ignore the road leading to the dome, because not only does it not look good, but you can hear the echo when you shout. As a common sense,
1. If you can hear the echo, it means that there is a traffic jam in front of this road and it is a dead end.
In comparison, the construction of the barrier of the large passage on the front is not a job that can be completed in a day or two. After investigation and full consideration, the barrier of the large passage was built more than 200 meters away from the dome.
The edge of a hall
This underground hall has an area of more than 400 square meters, but the space is not very regular, and the structure is not very stable. It requires a lot of manpower and time to build columns, replace the foundation, and modify the four walls. Neo means to build this place into a bathroom.
The military camp is set up to separate the fighting force from the people. The military and political affairs should each perform their duties. Let’s start with order.
The barrier width of the large passage is nearly 30 meters and the height is 7 meters. This obviously requires a large amount of rocks. Even if Fan Lundin has the means, the construction progress will be seriously affected due to the lack of tools and labor. If it depends on this point now
With labor and common tools, it would be good if we could complete this barrier in half a year.
Of course, Neo cannot tolerate the existence of this big gap for half a year. After all, the Storm Team does not have enough combat power to defend the dome, especially when he is not around. If there is a group of monsters like Wild Howl or any other underground dweller raiding team,
, then this stronghold will be dangerous.
With such considerations in mind, Neo ordered all the shaped trees in the dome to be cut down. He even did not hesitate to use his magic power to spawn a batch of them. Then he first built a simple wooden fence and planted a wooden fence.
The thorns connecting the roof of the cave, each of these straight thorns are more than 10 meters long, arranged in an orderly manner. Although they are slender at present, it will not take long before they can be squeezed together. Once they are formed, the rock moss will be planted.
, it is equivalent to having a thin wall with full toughness. It is mainly used to prevent flying creatures, such as vampire bats and dark dragon flies. Letting such creatures rush into the dome is also a disaster for ordinary people.
The most troublesome thing about this wall of thorns is the reserved shooting holes. Unlike the back door, the shooting holes on this side must be wide enough so that the guards behind the fence can pose a strong threat to the invading enemies. Therefore, just shooting
'Big Window' took Neo three full days
It was already mid-February, and the first wave of construction of the stronghold was finally basically completed. Neo entrusted the affairs to Barrit, handed over the government affairs to Marian, and entrusted the maintenance of the botanical garden to two druids, and then led
Holding Witz and Bichir, they left the stronghold
The three of them all brought wargs with them when they went out this time. Nearly half of the roads they took were in the shallow underworld. During the construction of the dome, Neo sent alien heath larvae and falcon heather to continue to expand the exploration area of the underdark.
The living organisms are still falcons and heathers, both of which are plants. Generally, wild beasts have low detection and sensing capabilities for such creatures. It is best to use them to explore the road. Moreover, with Neo's instructions, these alienated plants will not cause trouble.
When encountering areas such as lairs, living caves, and vaults where powerful creatures may eventually be stationed, as soon as they are discovered, immediately take a detour. In this way, the safety factor will naturally be greatly increased.
The path that Neo and the three are taking now is the route that was explored by Heather and confirmed by Thorn carrying the falcon Heather. There is nothing we can do about it. Heather's IQ is not enough, so a rough exploration is fine. If you want detailed information, you have to
The troublesome spirit came forward. In comparison, Thorn has the highest intelligence. The main function of Thorn is to preside over the reproduction and cultivation of Heather. With its cooperation with the Moon God Well Array and supplemented by the power of life, Heather's growth rate is normal.
600%, but even so, Neo does not have any formed war heather in his hands. Not only because large heather consumes a lot of energy, but also because Neo is trying hard to try new varieties. There are two development directions, one is pure combat and the other is pure.
Auxiliary, Thorn serves as an assistant and fully assists Neo in his research. Moreover, Neo's life force has been consumed a lot, and Heather's maturation training has been delayed.
After marching on the shallow level for two consecutive days, everything went quite smoothly. After two encounters on narrow roads that were not worth mentioning, both were practiced by Wiz and Bichir. Neo's gain was to collect two
Plant new underground plants. Whether this plant has any effect or not, we have to go back to plant and observe it for a period of time before we can judge. Of course, Nancy's participation plays a decisive role in this, mainly because she has powerful computing power. Currently, the collected
There are more than 40 kinds of plant species that are of little use by themselves, but after grafting and improvement, 7 new species of extremely valuable plants have been cultivated.
For example, alfalfa is a very common plant. It is known as the king of pasture and is good for improving the soil structure. However, this plant is not suitable for growing underground. With the help of Nancy, Neo successfully cultivated
Netherlight alfalfa has high yield and is extremely nutritious. If the concentration of Nether Energy is appropriate, the output can be doubled. If it is cultivated for three to five acres, the problem of meat and dairy products for the people in the stronghold can be solved.
The three Neos returned to the surface in the middle of the night. The time was specially calculated. They stayed underground for too long. The three of them needed a process from night to day to adapt to the light on the surface.
Although it is already the middle of the Mist Moon, the weather is no less cold than the previous Ice Moons. Judging from the thickness of the snow, after Neo entered the underground, Sylphanis led to heavy snowfall, at least 3-4 times.
, judging from this situation, the recovery time of the earth may have to be pushed back by at least one month. In this way, the already scarce food problem will become more serious.
In order to facilitate communication, Neo specially sent Thorn and Falcon to follow Bells. Therefore, at nearly noon, shortly after the three of Neo had adapted to the light of day on the surface, the Falcon sent out in the middle of the night came back.
The road has been confirmed. As long as it guides you, you can reach a gathering place for marginalized people.
During the 2-day overnight stay in Xiaoxing, the marginalized people arrived at this camp and it was not far from the Refuge Valley. There was no name at first, so the official gave it a dividing name of 'No. 4'. As time went by, the name of No. 4 Stronghold was
The name was called
Considering that the appearance of three wolf riders in a gathering place of marginalized people was too conspicuous, Neo settled in a valley more than ten miles away, then asked Bichir to simply dress up, and took his token to go to the gathering place to find and
Meet Bales
Bichir is not as smart as Borglem, not as stable as Barrit, and not as powerful as Maher, but in terms of overall quality, he is the first among the core members of the Storm Team. When the Storm Team was first formed, even though he had a vote of Matthew
The sub-militia has suffered a lot, but it can be elected as the leader by everyone. Naturally, it has some extraordinary abilities and convincing points. Compared with Qier's breakthrough to level 5 with Wiz 7 days ago, what's more interesting is that he actually casts some spells.
Because of his talent, Neo taught him the skill of Star Pluto Technique. Two druids from the Senmu Tribe also gave him some pointers. Bu Qier himself was willing to work hard, and with the power of the water attribute, he actually mastered it.
A very practical water healing technique. Even if it can only be used once a day, it is still extremely valuable. Let Bichir contact it, and Neo can do it.
