Chapter 1142 - 611: All Set, Leaving the Poison Swamp

There are a total of eleven treasure chests, of which two are trap treasure chests.

One is a Silver Treasure Chest and the other is an Ancient Bronze Treasure Chest.

Among the remaining nine treasure chests, there is one Golden Treasure Chest, three Silver Treasure Chests, three Ancient Bronze Treasure Chests, and two Black Iron Treasure Chests.

So far, including those treasure chests found within the Dragon Nest.

Zong Shen has obtained a total of three Golden Treasure Chests, six Silver Treasure Chests, five Ancient Bronze Treasure Chests, and six Black Iron Treasure Chests. These chests do not include the Trap Treasure Chests, comparable to the yield of exploring a large relic.

Currently, only combined with geographical elements like the Poisonous Mist Swamp and the Dragon Nest will there be such a number of treasure chests appearing. Once the Little Flame Demon’s challenge ends and he exchanges for a Platinum Key, life would be complete.

He can absolutely open treasure chests to his heart’s content.

After dealing with the treasure chests in the Poisonous Mist Swamp, the sky outside has already turned from yellow to gray.

Zong Shen sighed slightly with relief.

Let Little Black Dragon fly towards the territory.

Near the Poisonous Mist Swamp, there are over a hundred temporary squads on guard.

Along with the remaining followers and the residual power of the Black Dragon and those poisonous mists.

No Lord is likely to go there.

For the Lords, life is only once, and failure cannot be restored.

Death is ruthless when it descends.

Therefore, the relic development matters can be deferred for a few days.

After all, excavating relics isn’t that easy.

Even if during this period another Lord risks entering the Poisonous Swamp.

And bypasses the internal followers and withstands the poison mist’s invasion.

It’s still not easy to excavate the relic.

Not everyone has idle points to exchange for a Magic Energy Drilling Machine during the Frosty Winter Period.

Considering this, Zong Shen decided to postpone the development of the Poison Swamp relic.

Right now, what he needs to do is accept the unclaimed territory.

Ten minutes later, the Black Handsome Guy flew over the territory.

It was already past 6 PM in the evening.

The silver moon at the horizon shone brightly, as if taking over from the sun.

Zong Shen rode on Little Black Dragon’s back, with the silver moonlight falling, giving the dark dragon scales a layer of sheen.

From the air, he gazed down at his territory and realized its size had long expanded, covering several kilometers in radius.

The most conspicuous within the territory were those Epic-level Buildings and the Defense Matrix scattered in various positions.

Following that were the residential and industrial areas with those Two-Story Stone Houses and Workshop Buildings.

The stone roads of several main routes have been fully constructed, akin to arteries connecting the four major areas and central district.

To ensure the construction area’s evenness, Marie and Hoy, along with other Internal Affairs Heroes, used flag measurement for simple surveying, and leveled and compacted the uneven terrain.

From the start of construction, it was targeted towards urban planning.

Compared to other Lords’ territories which were planned haphazardly, Zong Shen’s territory is much more organized.

Under the moonlight, his territory resembles a Treasure Pearl embedded in the earth.

Looking at the territory below filled Zong Shen’s heart with a sense of accomplishment.

"—This is my territory!"

"Little Black Dragon, descend over there."

Zong Shen pointed to the Lord’s Fortress in the central area of the territory.

Now a level seven Lord’s Fortress, the foundation and height together are about twenty to thirty meters.

Looking from the air, it is quite prominent.

Zong Shen’s presence did not cause any reaction from the Defense Arrow Towers nor the airborne patrol of the Dome Sword; everything continued operating as usual.

As Little Black Dragon gradually landed, Zong Shen saw Salome Lin Yu, the Natural Druid, busy with something on the ground in the fortress courtyard.

Beside him, Erya and Xiaoping were carrying water buckets waiting nearby.

Little Black Dragon’s size is similar to the Eagle, both being airbus-class.

The fortress courtyard now has ample space.

Zong Shen let Little Black Dragon land directly.

Upon entering the territory, Little Black Dragon shook off its previous listless state, curiously examining the entire Lord’s Fortress and the surrounding tall Epic-level Buildings and Thunder Domain Miracle, occasionally lifting its head to glance at the giant Dome Sword.

Among them, the Thunder Domain Miracle gave it an intense sense of danger.

This raised Zong Shen’s status in its mind even more.

[Due to perceiving a threat in your territory]

[Little Black Dragon’s Loyalty to you increased by 5 points, current Loyalty 66 points]

"..."

"Could this guy be a masochist?"

"Ever since knowing that I can dominate it, its Loyalty keeps rising more and more..."

Zong Shen cast a glance at the Loyalty change notification, unable to resist internally complaining.

Their appearance also caught Salome Lin Yu’s and other farmers’ attention.

The latter immediately stood up, excitedly greeted them.

Zong Shen also leapt off Little Black Dragon’s back and headed towards Salome Lin Yu.

The two walked a few steps and met face to face.

Salome Lin Yu hurriedly bowed in greeting, then couldn’t wait for Zong Shen’s instructions, straightened up and pointed to the vacant land beside the wall not far behind.

"My Lord, the first batch of Sweet Potato Vines has been successfully cultivated!"

Upon hearing this, Zong Shen’s body trembled.

The sweet potato endeavor is an important part of the farming plan, its progress is crucial!

"So fast?"

Zong Shen instinctively asked.

"To improve cultivation speed, I used some Moon God Spring with Lady Marie’s permission."

"Furthermore, a piece of High-Level Fertile Land was specially built here."

"These factors significantly hastened the growth of the Sweet Potato Vines."

"Of course, not forgetting a little Natural Magic."

Salome Lin Yu enthusiastically explained.

He also led Zong Shen to the side of the ’Sweet Potato No.1 Experimental Field’.

Here, a several-square-meter planting field has been opened up in the courtyard.

The field is neatly planted with four rows of young sweet potato seedlings!
