"Hey, brother, today's harvest looks pretty good." The two teams in combat uniforms passed by, and the tall man in green combat uniforms on the left greeted them with a smile.
"It's not bad. I was lucky. I hunted a big six-clawed toad." He was answered by a burly man eight feet tall with a full beard. He was also the captain of this fighting team.
If you encounter it in the wild, you may still be cautious, but here is only a few hundred meters away from the gathering place, and Lao Hei is not afraid of the black and the black.
The tall man said: "Brother, I just came here not long ago, and I am not very familiar with the surroundings. I also bought a beginner's manual. I don't know if it is useful." The tall man shook the hand in his hand as he spoke. A black leather booklet, and then took out a cloth bag from his arms and threw it to Lao Hei.
Lao Hei took the bag and glanced through the gap. The two leader-level monster crystal cores were also worth some money.
With a smile on his face, he casually threw the bag into the box behind him, "You guys have just arrived. I have actually been here for more than a year. I am quite familiar with this area nearby. If you want to gain something, you'd better go to Qian. The land of the creek.”
"The land of thousands of streams?" The tall man thought of the map recorded in his handbook, which seemed to have this place name.
"Hehe, although there are very few monsters in the Land of Thousand Streams, I have never encountered a high-level monster. There are not many monsters there, and the danger is low. Although the harvest is a bit low, it is better than the long flow of water." Lao Hei said generously. .
This news may be worth something, or it may be worthless. It is something that can be found out after spending some time after getting acquainted with it, so he did not hide it.
"Thank you." The tall man smiled and nodded.
Crossing the desolate plains and heading north, you reach the land of thousands of streams.
There is also a small market at the junction of the Land of Thousand Creeks and the Desolate Plains.
The market is crowded with people, and the crowds are surging.
There are quite a few beasts to control.
Wherever there are people, there are more people, so there are people, and there are gathering places.
The Land of Thousand Streams is more than 800 kilometers away from the Deserted Maze, and it would take even an imperial envoy a whole day to get here.
You will encounter various monsters during the journey, otherwise the speed would be much faster.
The market borders both the Land of Thousand Streams and the desolate plain behind it. At first, some businessmen with outstanding vision came here to sell medicines and some consumables. Later, as the number of people increased, some people even built houses here.
Later, it became a gathering place.
It’s strange to say that. What puzzles many people is that the Land of Thousand Streams is such a large area, and there are multiple environments such as swamps, rivers, streams, and grasslands at the same time. It stands to reason that such a complex ecological environment should exist in large numbers. Few monsters.
But when someone discovered this place, they only found a few monsters in the Land of Thousand Streams, and most of them were of low levels, which was completely inconsistent with common sense.
"It's really strange. There aren't many monsters in this place." The tall man led his team to hunt for two days in the Land of Thousand Streams. Most of the monsters here are not high-level and are widely scattered. There is no need to worry about hunting. Sometimes he is attacked by other monsters.
"Perhaps this is the blessed land given to us by God." The team members said with a smile.
"Yeah, haha."
"Boom." The ground beneath his feet trembled slightly.
"Hey, did you feel anything just now?"
"no, what happened."
"Hahaha, it must be your imagination."
The tremor only lasted for a moment and then disappeared.
"How is the development of the gathering place over there in the Land of Thousand Streams?" Xu Qingzhi, wearing silver-framed gold-rimmed glasses, sat in a renovated room in the deserted maze, processing documents.
Starting six months ago, the eight-year term of the mayor of Yuzhou Base City expired. In the new round of elections, Nantian Group Chairman Ji Hanwu was successfully elected as the mayor of Yuzhou Base City.
In fact, Lao Ji refused very much at first, and publicly spoke before the vote at the meeting: "The position of mayor requires responsible, capable and responsible people to be elected. I feel that I deserve this position if I sit on it. "
Ji Hanwu sincerely refused, because now the Nantian Group has more than 100,000 employees on the surface. If you add the identity of the president of the Explorer Alliance, the number of members is no less than one million.
In some respects, the mayor manages more people than some small base cities, and their power is more concentrated.
And now that his grandson has become successful, he is also semi-retired, and many of the rights within the group have been delegated. He really doesn't like the position of mayor.
Then Ji Hanwu was elected with 95% of the vote.
In desperation, Ji Hanwu had to reluctantly take the position of mayor.
"Since everyone praises me so much, I'll reluctantly give it a try. I won't be polite."
After becoming the mayor of Yuzhou Base City, Ji Hanwu was really rude. He knew exactly what these people were thinking. Ji Hanwu didn't bother to fight for power with them and just shuffled the cards.
Those who are capable, no matter whether they are related to Nantian Group or not, as long as they are capable, they can be in high positions. Those who are not capable will fight to the end no matter how hard the relationship is.
Xu Qingzhi was also arranged by Ji Hanwu to go to the Black Mist World and serve as the general manager of the Black Mist World Division of the Explorers Union.
"The flow of people in the gathering place of Thousand Streams is increasing. There is currently no permanent population, but some companies have sent employees to work long-term."
Xu Qingzhi nodded. Nantian Group only built a company branch in the deserted maze. Other than that, it did not set up branches in gathering places outside. Even if you eat meat, you have to give others a sip of soup.
Because all the shops in the gathering place need to pay a lot of rent every month.
"But three days ago, someone saw that the Black Phoenix Mountains were particularly active. Monsters in the mountains occasionally escaped and ran to the Land of Thousand Streams."
Black Phoenix Mountains.
These four words made Xu Qingzhi frown.
The area of the Black Phoenix Mountains is exactly five times that of the Land of Thousand Streams and the Desolate Plains combined.
There are quite a few emperor-level monsters inside, and there are even rumors that there are emperor-level monsters inside.
"Send more drones and strengthen vigilance." Xu Qingzhi nodded.
At night, there is a gathering place at the junction of the land of thousands of streams and the desolate plains.
On the land of Qianxi, a twenty-meter-tall brown-striped golden bear that looked like a small hill slowly approached the gathering place.
When it got closer, its tall body stood out even in the dark.
The aura of the emperor was fully revealed, and some beast masters couldn't even muster the courage to resist and collapsed on the ground.
Some of the beasts' hind legs went weak and they peed.
"This, this is an emperor-level monster." Someone said in horror, "Run quickly, we can't defeat it, run quickly!"
Almost at the same time, the Deserted Maze Information Security Department learned what happened at the gathering place through the information transmitted by the drone.
"Jǐng ring! Seven-star Jǐng ring!"
Over the maze, the alarm sounded.
