Zhang Yang was eager to create the iron wall battle pattern, but there was actually a more important reason, that is, he wanted to take Wu Yuan to start the hero trial.
But the Hero Trial can be very dangerous. In order to prevent yourself from dying in it, you need more life-saving measures.
For example, better quality imprisonment spears, such as armor shields enchanted with iron wall spells, for example, enough mana, this magical power is what Zhang Yang will never forget.
"Village Chief, good news, we have discovered a stone mine."
Just as Zhang Yang was standing in front of the Wood Demon's Tower, preparing to start refining the demon blood again, a soldier ran back excitedly to report.
"What? In which direction and how far away?"
When he was excited, he didn't care about refining the demon blood. Stone mines were very important. They were necessary to build real castles and city walls, not the fortresses made of mud and giant trees used now.
"Reporting to the village chief, in the southeast, about sixteen or seventeen miles away, there is a valley. There are still traces of mining in it. Captain Wu Yuan asked me to come back to report the news, because he guessed that this might be the end of the valley. Mined by giant horned deer.”
Hearing this, Zhang Yang understood immediately, and at the same time, a simple topographic map quickly appeared in his mind.
Ten days ago, he first appeared in the forest about five kilometers due south of the village. Then he turned northwest about two kilometers and encountered the spider lord, where he spent the night and encountered the earthly wood demon.
The direction in which the earth-walking wood demon comes is northwest or due north.
The group of them fought fiercely with the earth-walking wood demon and finally killed it about three kilometers southwest of the village. Then they encountered the deer demon there, and finally fled all the way to build a village here.
And now, the quarry of Lu Yao's village has been discovered six or seven kilometers southeast of the village. Does that mean that Lu Yao's village is actually located due east, southeast, and south of the quarry
Will the jackal village be within this range of no more than fifty kilometers
"I have to go and see for myself. This matter is not trivial. Although the deer demon's village has already been looted by the jackals, there may be something to gain."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang immediately transferred four archer captains and four shield troop captains, and additionally asked Qin Yidao to lead the remaining 15 archer captains to defend the fortress.
Outside the fortress, Zhang Yang told Liang Duanjie, the leader of the felling team, who also brought several shield captains with him.
In addition, there are more than a dozen captain-level soldiers at the training ground and residential areas. With such force, as long as they don't encounter powerful enemies like the deer demon or the jackal village chief, there is nothing to worry about.
Afterwards, Zhang Yang led nine soldiers and ran all the way. At this time, there was no need to worry about encountering any little monsters. Firstly, many of the little monsters nearby had been cleared away. Secondly, it seemed that a powerful village had been established, and many lone people were there. The little monster didn't dare to get close at all.
Of course, this is not absolute. For example, more than once on the road Zhang Yang saw a level 4 black panther appear in the tall tree canopy, and then turned around and ran away after seeing them, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"It would be interesting if all the monsters in this forest were deserters who survived after the village founding order failed or were wiped out, or were the descendants of these deserters."
After more than half an hour, Zhang Yang and his party successfully arrived at the valley. Surprisingly, there was very little vegetation here. There was a stone mountain on one side and an earth mountain on the other. The so-called quarry was built on the stone mountain, and it was obvious that it had been dug out. Traces of the stone, as well as dozens of one-meter-square boulders, were all dug out but had no time to be transported back.
Following the traces of these excavations, a simple road can be seen extending out of the valley.
"Village Chief."
Wu Yuan came up to him with a very excited expression, "I just took people to explore the road out of the valley. After leaving the valley, we continued southward. After three or four miles, we bypassed a hill and found a large piece of flat land that was opened up from east to west. It is three miles wide and ten miles long from north to south, and the village of the big-antlered deer is there. Because the view is too wide, I did not dare to risk going there."
"As for this quarry, I have also investigated it carefully. I think the miners here should be mountain monsters, although I still don't know how the big-horned deer controls these mountain monsters. In addition, according to the traces here, we I’m sure, before yesterday, these stone monsters should still be there, but then they all left, and there are no traces of fighting here.”
"So I'd make a bold guess that they might have all been recruited by the jackal."
After listening to Wu Yuan's analysis, Zhang Yang nodded, "Let's go and see the legacy left by the deer demon."
Following the valley to the south, there is indeed a trampled road. Judging from the traces, it is at least more than a year old.
Ten minutes later, after rounding a small hill, a huge open space suddenly opened up ahead.
It is flat, probably close to ten square kilometers, but this open space has obviously been opened up by humans, because you can still see traces of recently felled trees on the edge of the forest.
In the center of the flat land, the first thing you see is a strange castle that has not yet been completed. This castle is completely different from a human castle.
The latter's castles are for defense, better defense, so they are quite strong and have tall walls.
But the deer demon's castle is different. There are three high towers in the middle, surrounded by stone walls that look like radiation. There are about a dozen of them. If you look at it from the sky, ignoring the three high towers, it looks like the radiation emitted by the sun. light pattern.
Completely defenseless performance.
However, considering the physique of the big-antlered deer and their single combat method, this design seems to be fine. Without any obstruction, the heavy-antlered cavalry can rush out like a tide, especially on such a large-scale plain. , who comes and who dies!
Zhang Yang observed it carefully for a few minutes, and then rubbed his teeth. From a human perspective, this village of Big-horned Deer made him feel insecure.
He didn't even think about walking over to take a look.
"Wu Yuan, what do you think?"
"Reporting to the village chief, this place is a dangerous place for soldiers." Wu Yuan shook his head and was very cautious.
"Then withdraw!"
Zhang Yang was also decisive, but just as they turned to leave, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded in the woods a few miles away, like an earthquake. Looking back, everyone was filled with dead souls.
Only two to three hundred heavily armored antlered cavalry were seen rushing out of the dense woods, like a tide, with smoke and dust billowing, which was extremely terrifying.
"Run!"
Zhang Yang shouted, and couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, he suppressed his curiosity. If he suddenly encountered these heavily armored antlered cavalry in a flat and empty open space, then let alone these dozens of people, he would Hundreds of captain-level soldiers may have to kneel down.
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend!
The hundreds of heavily armored antlered cavalry rumbled and chased them all the way to the edge of the forest. They stopped chasing and just screamed with great pride.
They're not stupid either. Once they enter the forest, it's hard to tell who will mess with whom.
"It seems that the jackal village chief didn't get much benefit from here before. Thinking about the deer demon's death, it was quite embarrassing. With such a big foundation, all of it has been turned into a nest of wild monsters by accident. It’s a lesson learned from the past!”
Zhang Yang couldn't help but warn himself.
