Chapter 141: Expedition to the South of the Territory

Annis nodded. He almost didn't sleep all night to make these two fireball scrolls.

But it was worth it in the end.

Looking at the interested expression on Mo Yu's face, Annis finally felt relieved.

Putting away the fireball scroll in his hand, Mo Yu looked at Annis.

"Besides making the Fireball Scroll, what other spell scroll making techniques do you have?"

"Also, how long does it take to make one? What's the success rate?"

Annis's face straightened, and he immediately replied: "The first-level spell scrolls have three types: Fireball, Lightning, and Wind Blade. As for the second-level spells, I have only learned the Great Fireball for now."

"As for production time... excluding the preparation of materials, a first-level scroll can generally be made in two hours, and the success rate can basically be maintained at around 70%."

"Since I am not very proficient in drawing a second-level scroll, it takes a little longer. It may take me half a day to draw one. The success rate is only about 15% at the moment."

It’s okay, at least the success rate of the first-level scroll is guaranteed.

It is not a big problem if you are not very proficient in making second-order scrolls. With the accumulation of materials and repeated experiments, the success rate will be improved sooner or later.

There are so many materials in the territory now, it would be a waste if they were left there.

Annis has talent in this area, so he is naturally willing to provide materials for the other party to develop.

Talent cultivation is also a very important aspect in the development of a territory.

However, for now, the main focus is still on the production of first-level scrolls, and then an elemental tower array will be built.

Hey, that scene is spectacular just to think about.

After leaving Annis in the lord's courtyard and talking to him for a while, Mo Yu had a general idea of ​​his abilities.

The main focus is on magic alchemy, supplemented by magic scroll learning.

As his main subject of research is magical alchemy, he has mastered quite a few potion formulas.

Life potions that can quickly restore vitality;
a blood-clotting potion that can mend wounds;

There are also wind potions that can increase speed, etc.

However, compared to low-level magic scrolls, the materials and tools for making potions are more complicated.

The current level of the Mo Yu Territory does not meet the standards for making medicines.

Magic scrolls are much simpler. Low-level magic scrolls only require beast skins and blood to draw.

Of course, it would be best to have a rune pen, which can increase the success rate a lot.

Mo Yu patted Annis on the shoulder and spoke kindly.

"Very good. The territory is in great need of talents like you. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."

"As for magic potions, we don't have the conditions yet. Your current work is mainly focused on making magic scrolls."

"You can choose any material from the warehouse every day. If you need any special materials, just go find the manager Da Zhuang."

"But you must make sure to produce five spell scrolls every day. You can arrange the rest of the time as you wish. You can rest or use the materials in the warehouse to improve yourself."

Annis was excited when he heard this. For someone like him who studied auxiliary magic, the most critical factor in improving himself was materials.

Only by piling up a large amount of materials and constantly conducting repeated experiments and summarizing can we continuously improve our level.

Now a warehouse in the territory is open for his use, how can Annis not be happy.

However, he had no idea that the warehouse opened by Mo Yu was only a territory warehouse open to the public.

Among the supplies stored in the lord's courtyard, apart from him, only Da Zhuang can move them.

But even so, the wild animal skins, bones and flesh stored inside are countless.

At this time, Mo Yu changed the subject and said, "But let me be frank. If the task is not completed, or if materials are wasted for no reason, then..."

"I know, I know. Don't worry, Lord."

Annis naturally knew what Mo Yu meant.

The territory took the trouble to cultivate him because they saw his value, and what they wanted was his return.

If he is an ungrateful person or is trying to be lazy, I will certainly not let him off easily.

Seeing that Annis understood, Mo Yu stopped talking and called the goblin spearman beside him.

"Come, arrange a separate room for Master Annis, and take him to the warehouse to register."

Annis got what he wanted and successfully demonstrated his value in front of Mo Yu. He happily followed the goblin spearmen down.

The other one, the Goblin Engineer, was still working hard.

There’s no way. I jumped too high before, so now I can only make up for it with my results.

Mo Yu transformed the two fireball scrolls with ease. Nothing went wrong and both scrolls were transformed successfully.

It’s a pity that there are no Explosive Fire Towers, only the most ordinary Fireball Towers.

Throwing the fireball tower outside the territory, Mo Yu began to plan for today's exploration.

As for the Fallen Monsters, since the Gastrodia Star has just been collected, Teemo’s sleeping potion has not been prepared yet, so he has to wait.

During this period, they had no intention of moving out to the periphery and were constantly developing resources deep in the forest.

To the west, resources are scarce and it’s not too far to the mountains where high-level monsters are active, so it’s not worth developing.

To the east, deep in the grassland, most of what needed to be explored yesterday had already been explored.

Then, the only area left is the area near the mountains in the south and southwest.

Several locations are marked on the map drawn by the Shadow Scout.

A place that looks like underground ruins, a treasure chest in the middle of a lake, and a strange goddess statue.

This is also Mo Yu’s main goal today. I don’t know if I can get all of them.

After determining the destination, we begin to arrange the travel personnel.

At this time, Salt came over and told Mo Yu that Teemo's awakening inheritance was about to end.

By the way, I expressed my thoughts on the floating island.

It turns out that dragon eagles, as flying creatures, are not used to living on the ground.

As soon as the floating island was built, he set his sights on this great place.

"Okay, the dragon eagles will be stationed there." Mo Yu waved his hand and agreed.

The floating island was originally intended to be used as an air force base, and it is now idle.

Salt thanked him and was about to leave when Mo Yu stopped him.

There is a lake in the place we are exploring today, and we need to rely on the flying ability of the dragon eagle, so Mo Yu plans to let Bluman stay in the territory today.

Salt naturally would not refuse and said he would be on standby at any time.

After a short wait, about ten minutes later, Mo Yu finally received the notification that Teemo's awakening was complete.

The door opened and Timo walked out in high spirits.

[Swift Scout Teemo]

[Level]: Epic Level 2

[Status]: High spirits
[Specialty Learning Heart]: Teemo can continue to learn, strengthen his own abilities, and slightly improve his understanding.

[Guerrilla Expert]: The team led by Teemo has greatly enhanced concealment and a 30% increase in movement speed during combat.

[Abilities]: Invisible wings, poison, mushroom cultivation.

[Description]: A Yodel who was placed with high hopes finally saw the light of day.

……

There are two more hero characteristics, one is accumulation of strength, and the other is legion combat ability.

Mo Yu was still checking Teemo's attributes when Teemo came running up.

"Brother Mo, I...I succeeded!" Timo rushed up excitedly and hugged his legs.

As he spoke, he started crying again.

Mo Yu squatted down and rubbed his head, "See what I said, you can do it." As he spoke, he felt a little distressed in his heart.

Such a simple-minded little creature must have suffered a lot after wandering outside for so long.

"Thank...thank you...Brother Mo. If it weren't for...you, I wouldn't be where I am today." Timo said with a sob.

He now truly regards Mo Yu as his only relative.

"Alright, alright. You are the scout captain of our territory now. You can't cry all the time!"

When Mo Yu said this, Timo's face suddenly tightened and he held it in.

Seeing this situation, Mo Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Teemo was secretly embarrassed.

"Haha, just kidding."

At this time, Mo Yu remembered another thing, and he took out the Gastrodia Star that the Shadow Scout had just given him.

"Come, let's see how many people these Tianmaxing can be used to make?"

"Well, twenty-three plants, seven of which are very old. They should be able to make a lot of configurations." Timo took the Gastrodia elata and looked at them carefully one by one.

"However, the dosage effect depends on the strength of the opponent. Brother Mo, do you want to use them to deal with those fallen monsters?"

"But I see that the Fallen Monsters drink water from their own wells, and have no external water source. It's not easy to poison them."

Mo Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a way."

Hearing this, Timo couldn't help but show some curiosity.

However, since Mo Yu didn't say anything, he didn't ask any more questions, but carefully calculated the dosage according to the strength of the fallen monster.

After about three minutes, Timo raised his head and gave a number.

"Hmm... it should be no problem to take down 700 to 800 Fallen Monsters."

"So many?" Mo Yu was a little surprised.

"Okay, then you configure it well. How long will it take to complete it?"

Timo thought for a moment and said, "Counting the refining and separation... probably tomorrow, tomorrow morning at the latest, I will be able to finish it."

"Okay, thank you for the hard work."

Mo Yu rubbed Timo's head again and told him a brief idea about the mushroom experimental field. Timo then went back to the house and started working.

As for himself, he gathered the troops who were going to the expedition and opened up the territory.

This time, Mo Yu brought Lai Fu, Salt, five shadow scouts and two war horses with him, and traveled light.

There are shadow scouts on the ground, and the dragon eagle Zosi in the sky, so they can have a clear view of the situation along the way.

Mo Yu just rode on his warhorse and galloped forward.

Although he has riding skills, it is a directly inherited ability after all, and this is the first time he has actually put it into practice.

Mo Yu did not perform very skillfully. He was half-lying on his warhorse with his body stiff during the whole process.

It was only with Salt's reminders and teachings of his personal experience that I gradually became proficient.

The warhorse stretched out its four hooves and ran very fast. Gusts of wind blew towards him, and Mo Yu just felt very comfortable.

Is this what it feels like to ride a horse?

The only thing is that my entire lower body is not very comfortable, and it's all thanks to my physical condition that I'm holding up.

Soon, the team arrived at the previous land of the dead.

After not being here for a few days, Mo Yu discovered that there were a lot of skeletons gathered here again.

Salt stood on the slope, staring into the depths of the Land of the Dead.

"If I'm not mistaken, this was once an extremely tragic battlefield, and many people must have been buried here. Because of the large number of corpses gathered, this land of the dead was created."

As an epic hero, his knowledge is much better than that of Bruman and others.

Mo Yu immediately showed an interested look.

"I have almost cleared out the undead here before, and I see there are some again. Will the undead in the Land of the Dead automatically awaken in batches after a period of time?"

He is now looking for the place where his defense tower spawns monsters. Could there be one right under his nose?
"Of course. As long as there are corpses and resentful souls buried in the Land of the Dead, there will be an endless stream of undead souls being born here."

"So, the best way to break the land of the dead is to destroy all the corpses and resentful souls."

"But don't worry, this land of the dead is not large, so there shouldn't be too many undead born. According to the undead's promotion mechanism, if the number doesn't increase, it will be difficult for high-level undead to be born."

When Salt saw Mo Yu raise this question, he thought that the lord was worried that the Land of the Dead was close to the territory and that these undead would invade the territory.

But he never expected that Mo Yu had another idea in his mind.

Not too many undead souls are born?

That's such a pity, it can't feed our defense tower.

Thinking of this, Mo Yu couldn't help but come up with a bold idea.

"I mean, if... well, if I dump a lot of corpses into this land of the dead, will it slowly expand in size?"

That’s right, he just wants to raise wild monsters.

How could a mere group of sunflower goblins and a halfling nest possibly fill the void of the defense tower?

Salt blinked, annoyed by Mo Yu's question.

"The question you asked involves professional ability. I'm afraid only a necromancer can answer your question."

"Oh...never mind."

Mo Yu was just acting on a whim. If he really wanted to expand the scale of the Land of the Dead, he would also have to consider the location of the territory.

After all, the distance between the two is not far. If it is expanded a little bit to border the territory, it will restrict the development of the territory.

Naturally, he would put the development of the territory first.

I have something important to attend to, so I'll leave these wandering skeletons alone for now.

When you come back at night, throw two defense towers nearby and clear out the skeletons inside.

By the way, he would collect some hard bone knives. Mo Yu's epic bone tower upgrade plan was temporarily put on hold on the more than 300 hard bone knives.

Without the market, it is currently impossible to gather so many reinforcement materials.

The team quickly passed by the bone burial ground and continued to move south.

Mo Yu and Salt rode on war horses, Lai Fu ran very fast, and the shadow scout was also known for his speed.

Today's travel speed is at least twice as fast as yesterday.

It only took the team half an hour to reach their first destination, the lake.

The lake is very large and the water is turquoise blue, like a piece of jade hanging on the ground.

There is a river around it, winding its way from the distant mountains and flowing into the lake.

Near the lake, there is a group of spotted deer drinking water.

When he saw everyone coming, he was immediately shocked and moved away.

If a scene like this were put on the Blue Planet and a sign was hung on it, it would definitely be a 5A-level tourist attraction, making a fortune every day.

From a distance, Mo Yu could see the purpose of his trip.

In the center of the lake, there is a place similar to an island in the middle of the lake. The treasure chest that he had been longing for is placed in a large area near the center of the island in the middle of the lake.

However, there is no road leading to the island in the middle of the lake.

If you want to get there, you can only swim or fly directly.

It was with this in mind that he brought Salter here.

"There is no monster guarding the treasure chest, so it is highly unlikely. Either this is another treasure chest monster, or... the monster is at the bottom of the lake."

Mo Yu looked towards the lake. The turquoise water was very clear, but as he went further down, it became deeper.

No one knows what is underneath.
