[Reminder: Successfully challenged the 50th level of the Sand Trial Ground and obtained the reward talent Desert Walker.]

Along with vague hints, the terrible pulling force of the sandstorm disappeared instantly, and the raging sand in front of the eyes also dissipated.

Mo Yu, who had been keeping his head down and trying his best to resist the storm, felt the pressure on his head suddenly lighten, and his whole body became much more relaxed.

At this time, he was finally able to open his eyes and see his surroundings clearly.

The desert had disappeared, and now he was standing in front of the Sand Trial Ground.

The tower-like Sand Trial Ground cast a long shadow under the setting sun, shrouding Mo Yu.

It turned out that he had returned to the territory without realizing it.

The Sand Trial Land is currently at level five, and the corresponding number of floors is only 50. After clearing all the levels, you will naturally be teleported back to the original entry location.

Mo Yu was not in a hurry to check the rewards he had obtained, but instead sensed the situation in the Gate of War.

Fortunately, the earth ant nest tower is safe and sound.

Summoning the queen ant, the chubby earth-armored ant queen appeared beside him, and a familiar voice sounded in Mo Yu's ears.

"Master, what are your orders?"

"It's okay, go and do your work!"

"it is good!"

The queen ant called out two rock-armored army ants and carried it towards the library.

The Earth Ant Nest Tower is indeed a very special defense tower, and the Queen Ant is also an extremely special unit among them.

It has excellent growth potential, not only growing mental strength, but also the ability to learn and grow.

So Mo Yu gave the queen ant access to the library so that she could go there to study often.

Unfortunately, the other ant soldiers are just ordinary summoned creatures.

From the moment of summoning, the strength and thinking are fixed and will not change.

After confirming that the earth ant nest tower was intact, Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, seeing it being caught in the desert tornado, I was a little worried, but fortunately, nothing happened.

"It seems that there is a talent in the last level?" Mo Yu then remembered the challenge prompt just now.

Opening the lord panel, sure enough, there was a new talent ability under the Son of the Tower talent.

[Desert Walker]: When you are in the desert terrain, your combat power will be slightly enhanced, and your movement speed will not be affected by the terrain. It will be weakened by 80% by environmental disasters such as quicksand and sandstorms.

This is indeed a talent, but it is not a lord talent like the Son of the Tower.

Its effect only affects Mo Yu himself, so it can be considered a personal talent.

The main purpose is to enhance combat effectiveness in desert terrain and reduce the environmental impact of desert terrain.

It is not very powerful, its scope of application is too small, and it has no development potential.

If he were in a desert and was an adventurer, this talent might be quite effective.

But that is not the case. Mo Yu’s current territory is located on the edge of the fertile grassland and has nothing to do with the desert.

Therefore, this talent will basically be of no use.

However, it's free, so what else can I say? At least it's better than nothing.

If he were to find himself in a desert environment in the future, this talent would at least allow him to feel as comfortable as a fish in water.

Mo Yu closed the panel and continued to check his challenge rewards.

There are 50 levels in the Sand Trial Land, and a small half of them do not offer rewards, so in total, I got about rewards.

The scope involved is very wide, including attribute points, items, talents, arms...

The value varies, from low-quality ones like yellow sand and shroud to higher-level ones like Desert Walker talent and Death Guard statue.

It was very rich, and it was worth it for Mo Yu to spend nearly half a day to challenge it.

After a simple inventory, he quickly sorted out his challenge rewards.

A total of four attribute points are obtained, 1 point each for constitution and agility, and 2 points for spirit. It is not a lot, but at least it is a permanent bonus.

Small amounts add up to a lot, and can slowly and steadily improve Mo Yu's strength.

In terms of items, you can get desert camel bells, desert treasure-hunting rats, yellow sand, black sand gold, Death Guard statues, etc.

After removing the yellow sand, shrouds, desert sunscreens and other things that are of little significance, there is not much valuable left.

[Desert Camel Bell]: A one-time consumable item. After use, it can summon a team of (10) desert camels, which disappear after use.

There are two of these desert camel bells that can summon a small camel caravan.

Black sand gold is a precious metal that has a good compatibility with the power of the death curse. It can be used to make dark and undead equipment without being corroded.

I believe Pulton will be interested in these materials.

Death Guard Statue, needless to say, this is a standard defense tower conversion material.

【A bag of Pyracantha seeds】: A cloth bag containing 100 Pyracantha seeds, please place in a cool and dry place.

There are also seeds from the Pyracantha tree, a plant with a well-developed root system and extremely fast growth rate.

It can grow Pyracantha fruit, a specialty fruit of the desert, and long-term consumption can enhance physical fitness.

Moreover, the places where Pyracantha trees grow can promote the growth of other plants.

If Mo Yu needs to transform the wasteland and plant a patch of Pyracantha trees, it will only take one or two years to turn the wasteland into a lush forest.

[Desert Treasure Rat]: A one-time consumable item. Use it in the desert to summon a treasure-hunting rat to search for the highest-value item within a radius of one kilometer.

What can I say about this thing?

It is indeed useful, but it is restricted to the desert terrain, so its practical value is basically reduced by half.

There are not many places in the desert that produce good things, unless they are in desert cities.

There are also some desert-specific materials, such as wind-edge stone, which has the ability to withstand storms and is one of the common materials for casting city walls in the desert.

There is also Ugo luminous stone, which is crystal clear, colorful and has no attributes.

Mo Yu made a simple selection, leaving behind the Desert Treasure Rat, Desert Camel Bell and Death Guard Statue, and threw the rest into the warehouse.

After several looting wars, the territory's warehouse now has a much richer variety of items.

The materials inside were roughly classified and divided into grades by Da Zhuang. Materials of different grades have control over them by people of different identities.

In terms of military types, there are seventeen rare-level third-tier claw mummies, twenty-two rare-level fourth-tier black scorpion warriors, eight rare-level fourth-tier sand elements, and two rare-level fifth-tier sand giants.

These arms are issued directly, rather than in the form of arm scrolls.

Therefore, Mo Yu had no chance to transform them into defensive towers.

All the clawed mummies were thrown onto the Great Steel Wall, and the rest were led by the goblin messengers and handed over to Zhong Han.

In addition, Mo Yu also obtained two rare-level desert-style equipment.

That's all I got. There are some rewards, but they're not that great. The most valuable ones are probably the Death Guard Statue and the Desert Walker talent I got at the end.

In fact, in the Sand Trial Ground, these messy rewards are secondary. What is really useful is to quickly improve your strength.

If he were not restricted by his status as a lord, Mo Yu would most likely be promoted to level five after rushing down this wave of towers.

Moreover, the Sand Trial Land has another function that cannot be ignored, which is to cultivate talents.

These fifty levels involve various aspects of abilities, and in the process of passing the challenges, the challengers' corresponding abilities are also invisibly trained.

Any challenger who can break through fifty levels in one fell swoop is definitely a trustworthy talent in the territory.

The Sand Trial Ground can now accommodate 200 people, which is sufficient capacity.

Teemo, Salt...even Da Zhuang, can all go in and experience it, improving their strength while exercising their abilities.

Especially Teemo, Zhong Han and others, whose levels are not high now. With the help of the Sand Trial Land, their levels can be quickly raised.

As for Mo Yu himself, after passing the level, the Sand Trial Land had no value to him at all.

Repeating the challenge does not gain any experience, so there is no need to challenge again.

"Another day has passed!" Mo Yu looked at the horizon and judged that it was already afternoon and approaching dusk.

I didn't expect that once I went in, a whole day had passed without me noticing.

Today is the sixth day of this week. I have to say, this week has passed really quickly.

I was immersed in the planning and construction of the territory in the past few days and was so busy that I was dizzy. Fortunately, everything has been sorted out now, and the next execution work can be left to Da Zhuang.

Lord Mo Yu was finally liberated from this.

Conveniently transform the Desert Camel Bells, Desert Treasure Hunting Rats, and Death Guard Statues into defense towers.

Ignore the prompts and directly check the properties of the defense tower.

【Bell Tower】（↑↑↑）
[Level]: Rare level 0 (800/)
[Function]: It can emit special ringing sounds to attract nearby creatures.

[Attributes]: 1 time/3 seconds, ammunition 50, recovery 3 per minute, attack range 100 meters, occupies 1 grid, bound to Lord No. 985211.

[Characteristics]: The ringtone has a very small chance of confusing the creatures it attracts and controlling their minds.

【Introduction】：Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling

……

【Treasure Tower】（↑↑↑）
[Level]: Hidden Level 0 (200/)
[Function]: Release a treasure-hunting mouse with hidden abilities to search for the nearest high-value treasure.

[Attributes]: Treasure-hunting rat (0/1), one hour interval between each summoning, activity range 50 meters, occupies 1 grid, bound to Lord No. 985211.

[Feature Stealing]: When the treasure-hunting rat finds the treasure, it will try to bring it back secretly. During the stealing process, its movement speed is doubled, but the hidden state will be released.

[Introduction]: There is a big treasure here!

……

【Death Guard Tower】（↑↑↑）
[Level]: Epic Level 0 (40000/8, 8 epic creature souls, random magic crystals)
[Function]: Can summon mummies to attack nearby enemies.

[Attributes]: Can summon 1 mummy per second (level 200 to 10, duration 5000 hours), 4 ammunition, 985211 recovery per minute, activity range meters, occupies grids, bound to Lord No. .

[Specialty Curse]: The mummy's attack has the power of curse, and there is a chance that the target will age rapidly.

[Characteristic Death Guard Arrival]: When a mummy dies, there is a 50% chance of resurrection, and after resurrection, there is a 30% chance of rebirth as a rare fourth-level creature Death Guard projection. Each time it dies, the chance of resurrection decreases by 10%, and the chance of resurrection as a Death Guard projection increases by 10%.

[Introduction]: Although you can't fight, you can endure.

Among the three defense towers, Mo Yu was most concerned about the Death Guard Tower.

Sure enough, this defense tower is different from the original set of twelve Death Guard Towers and lacks a resurrection combination feature.

The number of times he is resurrected is attributed to the arrival of the Death Guard.

50% chance of resurrection, each time you resurrect, the chance decreases by 10%.

However, the chance of resurrecting a Death Guard projection is only 30%. The combination of the two makes the chance of resurrecting a Death Guard projection not high.

It is far inferior to the set of twelve Death Guard towers, which can stably resurrect the Death Guard projections after being combined.

However, this Death Guard Tower still has some use.

That is to increase the number of resurrections for the mummies summoned by the twelve Death Guard Towers.

Their combined properties are described in Resurrection. For each additional Death Guard Tower, the maximum number of mummies resurrected is +1.

The Death Guard Tower here does not only refer to the Death Guard Tower with a number. Ordinary Death Guard Tower can also trigger this feature to increase the number of resurrections.

This discovery made Mo Yu much more satisfied.

As for the other two towers, the Desert Camel Bell failed to transform into a defense tower that could sustainably summon camels, but was transformed into a defense tower that attracted monsters with the sound of the bell.

The thing is good and at least it is useful in the wild. It's a pity that its range is too small, only 100 meters. There is no need to attract monsters at such a short distance.

However, this defense tower still has some potential for improvement. After strengthening, the auxiliary effect of attracting monsters + controlling a large area is also quite good.

But now, it will be left in the territory to gather dust for the time being.

It was handed over to Da Zhuang and others to continue leveling it up every day.

The other treasure-hunting tower is quite interesting. You can look for treasures there, and the treasure-hunting rat can even steal things back.

The disadvantage is the same, the range is too small, 50 meters.

At such a close distance, summoning a defense tower would be too conspicuous and would be tantamount to open robbery.

Its only function at this stage may be to help Mo Yu quickly identify the value of the items in front of him.

It has some effect, but not much.

Mo Yu put away the three defense towers, and his mood unconsciously became much better.

The tension in the Sand Trial Field just now was gradually released in the process of tasting the harvest.

"Tomorrow is the last day of this week. I have to do some things, otherwise it will be wasted when I refresh and reset next week!"

"I haven't visited the Elf Garden this week... I haven't recruited the new troops due to resource issues... And, the Wishing Tower!"

Mo Yu counted the things at hand one by one and made a work plan for tomorrow.

The most important thing here is the Wishing Tower. It comes once a week and if used well, it can be of great help to the territory.

Mo Yu already had an idea of ​​what he was going to do.

The only thing I'm worried about is whether the difficulty might be a bit high.

But thinking that it was my own defense tower and I couldn't bear the difficulty, the worst that could happen was that I would quit, and at most I would just waste an opportunity to pray.

Then in terms of resources for recruiting soldiers, after a whole day of gathering, a lot of resources have been accumulated.

While controlling the construction of buildings, we can barely recruit nearly half of the troops. The main problem is still gold coins.

The main resource for recruiting soldiers is gold coins. Unfortunately, the only stable source of gold coins in the territory now is a second-level gold mine resource point and a gold mine in the wild that is constantly being downgraded.

I have to find a way to get some gold coins! (End of this chapter)
