Chapter 214: Horrible Dark Food! Sphere of Influence!
In front of Zhuang Shuai lay a dozen black-skinned worms that had been roasted red, with wisps of black smoke rising from them.
The black-skinned worm's head and limbs were broken off, and its abdomen was cut open and its internal organs removed, making it look like a curled-up shrimp.
"My Lord."
Several soldiers came over and asked in surprise, "Can this thing be eaten?"
Zhuang Shuai patted his shoulder and said, "Of course you can eat it! Of course you can eat it! I'm a master chef!"
As he spoke, he cut off a large piece of insect meat with a knife and stuffed it into the soldier's hand.
"this……"
The soldier looked at the big lump of flesh on his hand and swallowed subconsciously.
Black and red in color, piled together in clusters, it looks like a large piece of roasted brain, emitting a strange and exotic fragrance.
Zhuang Shuai waved his hand and said, "Eat!"
The other soldiers also urged, "Eat quickly, eat quickly..."
The soldier holding the insect meat had a sad face, but he gritted his teeth and took a big bite.
"puff!"
Blood plasma mixed with minced meat splattered everywhere, immediately staining the soldier's face into a big mess.
"Pillar!"
"Zhu Zi, are you okay? "
"Pillar……"
Several soldiers surrounded them in panic.
Black-skinned worms are poisonous!
"I'm fine, I'm fine..."
The soldier named Zhuzi shook his head and said, "This meat is edible, but it seems a little rotten."
"Can I eat it?"
Zhuang Shuai's eyes lit up, and he pushed aside the soldier who was blocking his way and walked to the pillar, looking him up and down carefully: "Do you feel anything?"
"Feel……"
Zhuzi took another bite and said as he ate, "No, it's just that the meat is a little rotten, like tofu pudding, er, no, stinky tofu..."
"Gu..."
There was a sudden sound coming from Zhuzi's stomach, and his face turned ugly: "I, I'm going to the toilet...Pfft...Ah!"
Zhuzi limped out, but couldn't hold on before he had run a few meters. He quickly pulled off his pants and squatted down.
“Puff!”
"Fuck! You kid!"
"Go outside and poop!"
"Don't come over here~"
Screams were heard, and a few minutes later, Zhuang Shuai came over, covering his nose.
"Something's wrong. The black-skinned worm is still a strange beast after all. How come... what the hell!"
As soon as he came over, he subconsciously cursed.
I saw a figure still squatting there, but it was not a pillar.
Instead, it was a figure with...obviously darker skin.
Zhuang Shuai subconsciously shouted: "Zhu, Zhuzi?"
"My lord, please help me, my legs are weak..."
"Quick! Pull him up!"
Marshal Zhuang shouted, and the other soldiers also noticed that something was wrong with the pillar and quickly ran over to pull him up.
At this time, Zhuzi's legs were shaking and his eyes were unfocused.
"Why did the pillar turn black?"
"Yeah, I just touched your skin and it became so hard!"
"Could this kid be poisoned?"
In the eyes of several soldiers, the exposed skin of the pillar was black at this time, which was somewhat similar to the skin of the black-skinned worm.
Only the whites of the eyes and teeth are white, the rest of the body is pitch black .
Zhuang Shuai's eyes flashed, and the specific properties of the pillar immediately appeared before his eyes.

Looking at the temporary skills that suddenly appeared in the pillar's attributes, Zhuang Shuai's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Sure enough, it works!"
"I knew my ability would be useful, hahaha..."
Zhuang Shuai laughed and said, "I am the strongest auxiliary professional who can enhance the strength of summoned soldiers with dark cuisine!"
He looked at the roasted black-skinned worm in his hand again:
[Dark Food: Mud-roasted Black Worms]

[Description: This dark food is made by mixing black worms with soil and baking it. It will bring you a great surprise after eating it! ]
"eat!"
"Give it all to me!"
"Eat these roasted bugs and you can be heroes too!"
“Eat…!”
"puff!"
Under Zhuang Shuai's instigation, the area around the home was filled with a foul stench.
As for him, he obtained more than 20 reinforced militiamen with dark skin!
Another home.
A dozen wounded militiamen were fighting with dozens of black-skinned worms. They were very brave, but they still could not stop the increasing number of black-skinned worms.
Just when they were in despair, Xu Duoyi, who was standing next to the Home Crystal, suddenly raised her staff.
A melodious and desolate song sounded, and a few breaths later a blood-red light fell from the sky and landed on the dozen or so militiamen.
In an instant, a circle of blood-red halo appeared under the feet of these dozen or so militiamen, which was very eye-catching.
With the blessing of this halo, the militiamen, who were already exhausted wanted to retreat, suddenly felt a surge of rage in their hearts and continued to fight while roaring.
Madness aura!
With the help of the frenzy aura, this group of militiamen finally repelled the group of black-skinned worms.
But the price was that this group of militiamen lost six people!
Looking at the militiamen who were resting on the ground and breathing heavily, Xu Duoyi said without hesitation: "Don't rest! Go cut down trees, clean up the battlefield, and gather all the iron ore and resources to me!"
"grown ups……"
A militiaman trembled and said, "We have been through several battles and are exhausted. Many of our brothers are injured. Can you let us rest for a while..."
"no!"
Xu Duoyi frowned and said, "The next wave of attacks is coming soon. We must strengthen our strength as quickly as possible and recruit stronger soldiers to protect our homeland."
"Get up quickly, go cut wood and clean up the battlefield!"
Several militiamen were resentful, but under Xu Duoyi's oppression and orders, they had to drag their tired and seriously injured bodies to collect resources.
Their loyalty to Xu Duoyi dropped rapidly.
Xu Duoyi certainly knew about this situation, but she didn't care at all.
"They are just one-star cannon fodder. They are not important at all. If they are all dead, they are all dead."
"My goal is to summon four-star heavy armored warriors and five-star heavy cavalry! Only these elite troops are worthy of me!"
Xu Duoyi said enthusiastically: "It would be even better . That is one of the highest-star soldiers that all auxiliary professionals can summon so far!"
"Quick! Run!"
"Put all resources together!"
Amid the shouting, the militiamen's loyalty dropped again!
The day passed quickly.
Most of the freshmen managed to fend off the attacks of the one-star black-skinned worms and made it through the first day.
All freshmen will also get ten hours of rest time.
This time is also the time when all freshmen develop rapidly.
At this time, Zheng Cheng had already wiped out all the strange beasts within three kilometers around his home!
The one-star black-skinned worms and the two-star black-armored worms were all killed by him!
The corpses of all the exotic beasts were transformed into special ingredients and massive resources.
He distributed all the special ingredients to the soldiers present, increasing the strength of the 27 units he summoned several times.
Resources: 1450 units of iron ore, 248 units of life crystals, and 75 units of space crystals.
Among them, the amount of wood is the largest, with a total of 1,865 units!
The number of arrow towers has reached 35, located in the four directions of the home.
Among them, the number of arrow towers in the east is the largest, reaching 15!
This is because the eastern entrance to the valley is the focus of attacks by strange beasts, and the number of them is the largest.
As for the other three directions, because there are mountains and forests, the number of exotic beasts is not large.
After he consumed a large amount of iron ore and wood, he upgraded these arrow towers to LV2.
Both the shooting range and the detection range have been greatly improved.
After Zheng Cheng kills the third wave of strange beasts, the three directions will also spread to the foot of the mountain.
By then, the defensive pressure will be greatly reduced!
As the territory expanded, most of the black fog dissipated.
The sphere of influence covered by his homeland is now more than ten times larger than before!
"There are still too few space crystals..."
Zheng Cheng looked at the properties of his home. The rest of the resources had already reached the standard for upgrading his home, but unfortunately the most important space crystals were still not enough!
There are not enough space crystals to upgrade the home level.
If the level of the homeland is not upgraded, the population will not increase either.
If he wants to increase his military strength, he must obtain a large amount of space crystals!
"According to the intelligence, there is a high probability that a space crystal will be born in the body of a three-star colorful spider. It seems that we have to focus on killing the colorful spider later!"
At this moment, a building slowly took shape on the side of the home, a blacksmith shop!
Three figures walked out one after another, the leader was a blacksmith who was about thirty years old, with a burly build and a big hammer in his hand.
"Greetings, my lord!"
"Get up."
Zheng Cheng nodded and checked the blacksmith's attributes.

"Wang Tiechui?" Zheng Cheng asked, "How many arrows can you make in a day now?"
Wang Tiechui said, "My lord, I can make twenty arrows in thirty minutes using one unit of iron. There are two apprentices who can also make ten arrows."
"We can work for twelve hours straight. As long as there is enough iron ore, we can make more than seven hundred arrows."
"More than 700?" Zheng Cheng said immediately: "Very good, I will supply you with unlimited iron blocks and make arrows as quickly as possible!"
"Yes! Sir!"
"grown ups!"
Niu Jindao came over again and said, "I have eaten all the special food you stabbed. Please give me your orders next!"
"Oh? Finished eating?"
Zheng Cheng's eyes flashed and he asked, "How do you feel?"
Niu Jindao said excitedly: "I can feel that my whole body is full of strength!"
"very good……"
30 black worm hearts increased his physical fitness by 30 points.
30 pieces of black insect shells increased his physique by 30 points and strength by 30 points!
A full 90 points of four-dimensional attributes!
The total attributes of the Niu Jin Dao at this time are more than ten times higher than before!

The attributes of Niu Jindao, Yang Houer, Chen Zhong, Zhang San and others are not much different from those of Niu Jindao.
The only difference is the emphasis on physique, strength and agility.
Zheng Cheng ordered: "Rest for three hours, the four of you follow me into the black fog, and the rest of you stay at home!"
"Yes! Sir!"
