Chapter 59: Heroic Treasure: Bundle of Lizards
"Only five cards?"
Li Qing took his hand out of the light ball with some surprise, and five cards glowing with different colors spread out in his palm.
"Quality is more important than quantity!"
All five cards glowed with different colors. Although not as strong as the previous snake man's luck card, the fact that they glowed meant that they were not ordinary items and were all good things.
His eyes first fell on the silver card on top——
Source Card: The plane is broken, and the remaining plane origins gather together, containing 89 points of source.
"hiss!"
"89 Essence."
This was a bit beyond Li Qing's expectations, but this source substance was the gathering of the residual origin of the plane, so this number was not outrageous.
Of course, this is only a part of the remaining origin.
Look at the second card with a faint emerald green light——
Hydra Lizard Egg: When hatched, a Hydra Lizard can be obtained, which can be fed and tamed to grow.
"Hmm, a war beast?"
According to the giant beast illustrations, the multi-headed lizard is a type of giant beast. It is born with more than two heads. As it grows older, it will slowly add more heads. The more heads it has, the bigger its body is and the stronger it is.
The strength of a normal hydra lizard can only be considered inferior among the giant beasts of the same level, but as it continues to evolve, its rank will slowly increase.
When a multi-headed lizard evolves to have nine heads, it will undergo a qualitative change and evolve into the famous legendary creature Hydra, becoming a superior existence among the giant beast species.
but……
Qualitative change is not easy at any time. Multi-headed lizards are common, but Hydras are generally legends and extremely rare.
The main reason is that evolution is not easy.
Of course, no matter how bad a behemoth is, it is still a behemoth, with extremely powerful combat capabilities and a strategic-level force on the battlefield.
The inferiority of the hydra only refers to its normal combat power on land. If it is in the hydra's home swamp or water, its combat power will soar rapidly.
War beasts are rare in themselves, let alone apprentices, who have no right to be picky.
Li Qing put the card away and prepared to take some time to dig a quagmire in the divine realm to hatch it out.
Then he looked at the third card that glowed with a faint golden light.
Hero's Treasure: Bundle of Basilisks.
Grade: Medium-quality rare item.
Equipment location: Weapons.
Passive attribute: The attacks of your troops inflict 20% acid damage.
Active Skills: Gain the Hero Skill - Lizard Tongue, which sends out a lizard tongue to entangle a single enemy within a 20-meter range. The binding lasts for 1-15 seconds depending on the target's size and rank. Targets above rank eight are immune. During the binding period, it causes strong acid corrosion damage to the target. The cooldown time is 5 minutes.
Description: A strange item made from the tongue of an extraordinary multi-headed lizard.
"nice one!"
Li Qing extracted the treasure from the card without hesitation and turned it into a whip like a tongue.
He held the whip in his hand and swung it forward. The whip bounced out and hit a tree as thick as a thigh about ten meters away. It quickly entangled the tree, and then the tree trunk was quickly corroded into powder. It was broken in half in just two seconds.
“What a great thing!”
This thing is very suitable for melee heroes and can be used as a weapon.
The accompanying attributes can be superimposed with the hero's talents and strategic attribute points, which is equivalent to an additional 20% of the soldier's strength. This layer of acid effect acts directly on the soldier's weapon.
That is to say, any attack by his subordinates will cause the enemy to suffer an additional 20% acid effect in addition to their own attack.
Imagine being cut and then doused with sulfuric acid.
Li Qing used this good stuff for himself without hesitation.
Then he looked at the fourth card which glowed with a faint silver light.
Arms Upgrade Card *10 (Normal): Promote 10 arms to the upper limit of the arms regardless of combat experience, up to level 5.
“Another good thing!”
Just like the item description, this thing can promote new recruits to a maximum of level 5 in one go, regardless of combat experience.
Needless to say, I'll use it later.
Then he looked at the fifth card that glowed with a faint golden light.
Hero Skill Points: After use, one extra hero skill point will be added.
"Well……"
Li Qing picked up the card and looked at it from left to right, with nothing to say.
Extra hero skill points, what else can I say.
89 essence points, a hydra egg, a hero treasure, ten troop upgrade cards, and one extra hero skill point.
There aren’t many things, but they are all good and rare.
This is not surprising, because the treasures in any treasure chest are definitely suitable for the treasure chest snatcher to use. There will be nothing useless in it, and it has nothing to do with personal luck.
But then again, good luck helps too.
There is still some gap between applicable and very suitable.
Needless to say, hero skill points are definitely for personal use. No one would complain about having too much of this kind of thing, even if his current two hero skill points are useless.
After opening the door to the divine realm and entering it, Li Qing returned to the core tower and immediately found five new recruits of the Imperial Infantry. He then used the five Imperial Elite Mo Dao Soldier Promotion Cards he had obtained previously on them.
Then he took out the troop upgrade card and activated it. Five strong white lights flew out and submerged them, quickly condensing into a ball of light emitting dazzling light.
It didn't last long before the light ball slowly converged inward, soon revealing five tall figures.
He is over two meters tall, wearing a suit of armor that is both exquisite and defensive, with a ghost face visor, and a round steel shield on his back. In both hands, he holds a long-handled Mo Dao with a total length of over three meters. The snow-white blade is shining with cold light and is extremely sharp.
Empire Elite Modao Soldiers (Elite): Elite infantry of the human camp. Anyone who blocks the Modao will be killed.
Level: 55.
Basic skills: one-handed LV7, running LV7, shield LV5, throwing LV5, two-handed LV7.
Advanced skills: slash, combo, jump slash, and charge slash.
Passive skills: cut off troops, break armor, and kill.
"good!"
The fifth-level soldiers have basically reached the limit of conventional soldiers. The Mo Dao soldiers have even abandoned defense and strengthened attack. Five Mo Dao soldiers working together can easily kill ordinary sixth-level non-behemoth creatures.
When ordinary soldiers faced Modao soldiers, they would basically be cut in half with one strike, along with their armor.
As for the remaining five direct admission spots...
Li Qing considered it seriously and decided not to use it on other troops.
Even the fourth level is so difficult to upgrade, and the fifth level may be even more difficult. It is better to wait until you get the fifth level troops to get such precious goods.
It is worth mentioning that the Fire Warlock Promotion Card in his hand belongs to the extraordinary soldier type, which requires a blue-name civilian to transform. The upper limit of the level is level six, which is not within the upgrade range of this ordinary direct upgrade card.
Coming out of the tower, Li Qing summoned Shang Yingxin, who was in charge of the Divine Domain Ranch, and asked him to gather some civilians to open up a swampland next to the Divine Domain Ranch.
That is to enclose a piece of land with a stone wall, loosen the ground, and let the shallow water bubble up to form a mud pool.
It is definitely impossible to create a swamp in the true sense of the word. This one is not much different from a swamp except that there are no poisonous insects and smelly mud. Then the time comes and we can hatch the hydra lizards and raise them in it.
Finally, there is the source essence card, which now has a total of 96 source essence points.
The Divine Domain Farm requires 50 essence points to unlock one level, and the Divine Domain Ranch requires 60 essence points to unlock one level.
Li Qing thought about it carefully and felt that one layer of pasture was enough. A farm needs to be used for farming, growing vegetables, and living, so it is not enough.
When he arrived at the Divine Domain Farm, Li Qing's mind moved, and the source material stored in the Divine Domain's core tower gushed out and directly seeped into the Divine Domain Farm.
The next second, an invisible source of power seeped into the second floor of the Divine Domain Ranch. A huge and extremely complex magic circle in the chaos began to activate after the source was injected. The chaos in the sky changed rapidly, and the turbid air sank and condensed into real earth.
Whether it is the Divine Realm Ranch or the Divine Realm Farm, the unlocked areas actually already have preset terrain and structure. They only need to inject source matter to activate the internal space laws and they will take shape.
When the second level of the farm is fully activated and formed, there will be an option when you enter the light gate of the Divine Domain Farm. Just silently recite the level you want to enter.
Li Qing entered the second floor as soon as possible and saw a bare land with nothing on it.
The land needs to be reclaimed, watered, fertilized, and the soil needs to be nurtured, etc. It is estimated that it will take several months before the soil is ready for planting.
It just so happened that Li Qing now had 890 human civilians, 250 dwarf civilians, and more than three hundred soldiers in the divine domain, with a total population of nearly fifteen thousand, which was enough manpower to open up the land.
When he has dealt with all this and returned to the north of the divine domain, many of his men will be gathered here waiting.
Li Qing told them that the matter had been resolved and that everyone could take a break and leave after finding the next target.
After coming out of the divine realm, Li Qingsheng flew westward on a giant eagle and soon arrived over the river.
The giant eagle descended and landed above the river. Li Qing stretched out his hands and clenched them. The river water began to rotate, forming a huge whirlpool. A large amount of river water poured into the whirlpool and disappeared.
There is no mentor to help you here, so you have to rely on yourself.
Fortunately, the space in the palm of my hand is large enough. It is a spherical space with a diameter of one hundred meters. It can store up to 520,000 cubic meters of water at a time. It will be enough to fill it up with a few more times.
There is no need to worry about whether microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses in the river water will affect the ecology, as the organisms in the river water have been decomposed long ago.
After four or five times in a row, the river water level dropped significantly, and the second layer of the pasture was almost flooded.
Soak for a while to soften the soil so that it will be easier to operate.
After doing all this, Li Qing took off into the air on the giant eagle, thought for a while, and continued to fly down the river to the north.
With an aerial mount, you can fly around to see if there is a suitable place to build a base.
After two major achievements, our strength has been greatly improved and we have the capital to stand on our own feet.
As long as you don't run to the heartland of the Snake Kingdom, as long as you don't run under the noses of those Snake nobles, you can basically defend your territory.
After all, the defense of the divine domain has been built, and the farm has unlocked two levels, so it can be completely self-sufficient.
Li Qing doesn't have much demand for other things, and doesn't need a very good territory. He just finds a place to expand the divine domain and then slowly collects the surrounding resources.
Stone or wood will do, but iron ore would be the best.
Although there is a great demand for stone and wood, they can be mined and cut down anywhere. Only iron ore is the rarest. Previously, destroying a town only collected more than 200 cubic meters of steel, but now there are about 370 cubic meters in total.
Actually, steel is not very useful in the early stages, but the demand will increase significantly as the divine domain expands.
Various siege weapons, crossbows, chariots, airships, various farm tools, equipment for heroes and professionals, etc.
If there is enough steel, this can also be used to make steel walls .
Even in the future, if we are crazy enough, we can use pure steel to make a huge floating city, magic battleships, etc. These things will consume a lot of steel.
Going down along the river, Li Qing asked the giant eagle to take a detour when passing the snakeman city to avoid being struck down by lightning from the mage tower.
We made a big bend and continued down the river. From time to time, we saw small tributaries flowing into such a big river. The river became wider and the water flowed slower as we went down. The surrounding area was almost entirely plains, all of which had been reclaimed into farmland. Villages and towns were scattered on the plains.
This should be the heartland of the Snake Kingdom, and the main grain-producing areas are scattered throughout this river area.
Precisely because it is the heartland of the Snake Kingdom, the light of civilization is getting brighter and brighter. It is as bright as day in the depths of this plain, and the ground scenery can be clearly seen from high above.
As he continued to go down, the river became wider and wider. At a certain moment, Li Qing saw a huge lake at the end of the river, which was nearly three hundred meters wide.
By the lake, there stood a huge city. From more than ten kilometers away, one could see a huge ball of light on top of the city. The rich source essence was almost tangible.
"The capital of the snake people!"
He knew this was the capital of the Snake Kingdom without getting close.
He didn't dare to get closer because there were many small black dots in the sky above the royal capital, which were most likely the air forces of the Snake Kingdom.
If you have the ability to capture the capital of the snake people , the benefits you will gain will be beyond ordinary people's imagination.
If I had to describe it, if we could capture this capital, the benefits we would gain would be more than a hundred times greater than killing the seven-headed lizard just now.
Think about what you have just gained, and what it would mean to have another hundred left.
Without mentioning anything else, what does one hundred hero skill points mean?
Even if a zero-ring light spell is increased to level 100, it can become an artificial sun to illuminate the entire plane.
Of course, this is just a metaphor. Regardless of whether one can concentrate one hundred hero skill points, no one would add all one hundred hero skill points to the mere light magic.
More than ten kilometers away, the giant eagle circled around the Snake King and adjusted its angle to fly in another direction.
After a quick walk, we started our return journey.
I'm too lazy to go anywhere else as it's too far from where they are, so I'd better find a place nearby.
Returning to the east direction of the upper reaches of the river, which was at the junction of the forest and mountains in the southern part of the plane, Li Qing drove the giant eagle to the junction of the mountains and the primitive jungle, and stopped about one kilometer west of the river.
There was a primitive jungle below. The giant eagle flew into the jungle and landed. Li Qing jumped down. Before he could stand firmly, he heard an eagle cry behind him. Looking back, he saw the giant eagle spread its wings and swooped down on an unknown ferocious beast that was dark in color and about four meters long.
Li Qing stretched out his hand and pointed, and a green lizard tongue flew out and wrapped around the ferocious beast. The next second, the ferocious beast screamed, and the shiny black fur on its body quickly rotted, revealing the skin, which then quickly festered.
Black Hawk took the opportunity to pounce, and with a press and a click of his claws, the two eyeballs were gouged out.
In just seven seconds, the ferocious beast was rotted into two and died.
