Chapter 116: Mysterious Crypt, Layout in Advance

He also passed through the northern part of the territory.

Even go all the way north to reach the mountainous area.

There were flat pastures along the way, with excellent views. He didn't find any crypts that time.

So what happened to this sudden appearance of the crypt?

Full of doubts, Zong Shen followed Vereesa to a place not far from the territory.

Here, it was originally an ordinary pasture.

But now the ground is rising and a small hill has appeared.

This hillock is about forty to fifty meters high. On the side facing the territory, there is a hole about ten meters in diameter, which penetrates diagonally into the ground.

The outside of the cave entrance was covered by a black light barrier.

There is also a countdown number on the light screen, which is constantly passing by.

【5 hours 21 minutes 17 seconds】

This time coincides with the end of the novice period.

It can't be a coincidence.

Zong Shen reached out and touched the light screen.

But it was like hitting a wall, it was indeed a barrier that isolated each other.

"How is this going?"

Zong Shen began to ask questions to the guide.

(For unopened crypts, when the countdown ends and the novice period ends, the world rules of the lords will be changed, and the crypt will also be opened, officially entering a new stage.

1,000 crypts will be randomly refreshed in each area.

In the crypt, crypt monsters and undead monsters will be randomly refreshed throughout the day. As time goes by, the level and strength of the monsters spawned will slowly increase, and they will not affect the indigenous people. , will just wander around until attracted by nearby territories and lords)

"Damn it, something happened!"

Zong Shen couldn't help but cursed.

This thing is a small gift prepared for the end of the novice period!

After three comfortable novice days, the first small climax is about to come.

To give those lords who have just established a foothold in this world a "surprise".

"Vereesa, please return immediately and ask the third fat man to bring a few farmers over. In addition, he will bring 500 wood, 500 hemp, 100 stone, 50 iron, and 8 primary element crystals."

Zong Shen got down from Bajie’s back,

Observed the location of this crypt.

Then [Build] was opened.

On both sides of the crypt exit, two [First-Level City Walls] were placed, forming a twenty-meter-long corridor.

Buildings can also be placed outside the territory, but buildings outside the territory are illegal. Unless the territory is expanded, relocation and upgrades cannot be carried out.

The walls on both sides can restrict the direction of the crypt monsters.

Then, he surrounded the exit with five or six [first-level straw sheds], leaving only two gaps for one person to pass through.

Then, he retreated another three to four hundred meters and placed a [Level 1 Elemental Arrow Tower]. Four or five straw huts were also placed around it, surrounding the arrow tower.

In addition, he also added [Level 1 Spike Barrier] to all buildings.

In front of the crypt exit, there are more than a dozen [Level 1 Ground Thorn Traps] set up.

Rather than sit back and wait, let these crypt monsters run around and affect the construction of the territory itself.

It is better to take the initiative to lay out. This position is not far from the territory. It is completely possible to build a forward position and carry out targeted attacks.

Let soldiers block the exit directly in front to attract hatred, so that the walls on both sides will not be attacked first.

"How many crypts are there within five kilometers of the territory?"

Zong Shen started to ask questions proactively.

(There are 2 crypts, the other one is located 4.7 kilometers west of the territory, blocked by a small forest in the middle)

The golden subtitles appeared, and Zong Shen suddenly felt a little apprehensive in his heart.

The number of lords is far greater than the number of crypts.

The rest is just to strengthen internal defense.

As for this crypt, Zong Shen has already made up his mind to clear it out alone.

Judging from the current strength of the territory, it is completely possible.

Half an hour later, Vereesa arrived here with three fat men and five or six farmers.

"I have placed the building, let's start building it now."

The resources brought by Vereesa can just meet the construction needs.

Zong Shen waved his hand and immediately asked them to start construction.

"Vereesa, your mission is to garrison here, and I will allocate a team of soldiers to you."

"When the countdown ends, the barrier will disappear and the crypt will be opened. Please lead your soldiers to eliminate every monster that may appear in the crypt!"

Then, he handed the communication crystal numbered "5" to Vereesa.

There were five communication crystals in total, No. 1 was in his hand, No. 2 was in the hands of Fatty Three, No. 3 was in the hands of Wolf Cavalry Colby, and No. 4 was given to Tiezhu.

After arranging the layout outside the crypt, Zong Shen mounted Bajie and returned to the territory without stopping.

He is now withdrawing all the resources obtained from the [market] last night.

After one night, all items were sold out.

Zong Shen extracted 12 primary wood runes, 400 wood, 600 hemp, and 2 primary fire runes.

Then, he began to search for crossbow bolts and arrows, and exchanged the excess unprocessed meat for more than a dozen sets of arrows and crossbow bolts.

Only enough rations were left to last the entire camp for about five days.

In fact, the shelf life of barbecue is only about five days.

If the food is not exchanged for arrows and crossbow bolts, it will spoil sooner or later.

He hung up three more pieces of green equipment with good attributes and two pieces of [Holy Water of the Moon], and still exchanged them for various basic resources.

The opening of the crypt will inevitably have an impact on resource collection.

Before most people are aware of it, Zong Shen needs to reserve as many resources as possible.

Zong Shen opened the storage box and began to check the inventory of various resources.

【Wood×1352】

【Stone×615】

【Iron×687】

【hemp×1417】

【Copper×140】

【Mithril×69】

【Adamantine×2】

[Primary element crystal ×72]

[Elementary Mana Crystal×43]

"enough!"

He first came to the crystal tower and made two spare communication crystals numbered 7 and 8.

Then, we came to the north of the camp, where a forty-meter city wall was built yesterday.

Golden lines began to appear in front of his eyes.

Help him calibrate the placement of the walls.

Zong Shen placed ten more sections of the city wall in one go, extending the total length to 140 meters.

Then he came to the west of the territory, and under the same calibration of golden lines, ten sections of city walls were placed, forming a 100-meter city wall defense line.

Then, place the remaining [Level 1 Elemental Arrow Tower] on the west side outside the small courtyard.

The intention is obvious.

Anyway, the arrow tower has a protective range of 500 meters in radius, and other directions can also be taken into account.

Then, he placed four pieces of primary fertile land next to the original fertile fields, and handed the seeds purchased from the market last night to the female farmer in charge of the farmland.

At this time, almost all the farmers in the territory were mobilized and participated in the construction, and a new round of construction frenzy officially began!
