The first batch of materials that came with the ship was not much. It was mostly the consumables of Xia Duo and others, such as rations, arrow sticks, insect repellents, and tools, such as ropes, axes, hammers, and clay pots. Category.
Xia Duo checked all the materials, especially the grain. He focused on the bottom of the box. Although there was a layer of planks underneath, and the bottom was padded with stones, it was still difficult to keep the moisture and insects from entering the forest.
Fortunately, it was only one night, and nothing bad happened.
After breakfast, the Lucky Owen was about to return. They had to go a little downstream before turning around. By this time, Xia Duo had already directed everyone to clear the open space.
The spot that was cleared out last night is enough for a pile of supplies. It is true that every inch of land must be sought from the forest to open up territory.
Use swords, magic, axes and saws!
"Captain Gib, your team 1 should be in pairs, guard the perimeter to prevent wild beasts from attacking, and call for help in any danger."
"Yes!"
Then Chateau ordered the people of the 2 team: "Simon, the people of the 2 team, from the landing point, clear all the plants. I know that you are all adventurers, pay attention to safety."
"Yes!"
Seeing these twenty people getting busy, Xia Duo also breathed a sigh of relief. For these people in total, it is very simple to arrange casually, but as the number of people increases, things will change.
No matter how small the matter is, personal control is unrealistic. At that time, choosing the right person to give them relevant authority will become a necessity.
The territorial system also emerged, and the core of all this was of course Xia Duo.
Xia Duo was thinking about what kind of talent was the right person, while walking around and observing near the landing point. Last night, time was limited, and he hadn't taken a good look at his territory!
Carrying Gibb's fine gold sword, Xia Duo slashed as he walked. After a while, he felt that his slash was almost as fast as Simon's team was slashed by ten.
It's just that he chopped very randomly, almost wherever he wanted to see, he chopped wherever he wanted, and soon he wandered the nearby bush area.
Further inside, it is the arbor.
Of course, natural forests cannot be arranged so precisely. There are shrubs on one side and trees on the other side, so you can't go beyond the least.
In fact, the trees and shrubs are intertwined with each other, but there are more shrubs in the shrub area.
When you get to the arbor area, you don't need to open the road all the time. There is enough distance between the two trees for Xia Duo to walk, and it is more in line with Xia Duo's impression of the forest.
And here is close to 300 meters from the river bank, and after a little more time, Xia Duo will clean up the goblin place yesterday.
Xia Duo didn't go any further, but began to set up a [Magic Alarm] nearby, not to cover a certain area, but to form a line of defense.
As long as a creature larger than a goblin passes by, an alarm will be triggered.
Due to his limited ability, Xia Duo couldn't arrange the line of defense tightly. The places he chose were places with relatively large forest gaps.
It should be the instinct of all living things to take advantage of it.
After setting up the magic alarm, Xia Duo returned to the landing site, everyone was still busy, and he took out the spell notes and began to study.
In addition to being unable to conduct experiments anytime and anywhere, it is not much different from the Mage Tower. Xia Duo comforted herself so much.
Until noon, the sun gradually dazzled, and Xia Duo put away his notes. At this moment, the appearance near the landing point has changed
An open space about the size of a basketball court was cleared by Simon and others, and half of the area was used to stack the cut branches of miscellaneous trees.
The ground is full of small tree stumps, weeds, and fallen twigs. It looks very messy, but this is the first step in the development.
Xia Duo stood up from the wooden box and shouted, "Simon!"
Soon, a brawny man with naked torso and sweating ran over, "My lord, do you call me?"
"It's noon, let's arrange someone to rest. There is no need to clean up in the afternoon. Set up the camp."
"Yes!"
"By the way, before setting up the camp, burn the ground again." Xia Duo added.
In this half of the morning, I don't know how many small bugs are crawling on the wooden boxes of supplies, and I don't know how many are poisonous bugs.
Simon took the order and left.
And in the bushes not far away,
As for Gibb and others, they carry rations with them and do not need to come back. Of course, for them, there is no such thing as rest.
Now their role is almost similar to that of guards. Although they do not consume much physical strength, they are a test of spirit.
However, these people are veterans, and they all know that the outer guard is not only for the pioneering lord Xia Duo, but also for themselves.
In this forest 20 miles away from the crowd, what is more important than staying vigilant at all times! Compared to Xia Duo who possesses magic, their chances of survival are much smaller.
...
In the afternoon, Xia Duo informed Gibb to shrink the cordon, and after leaving a magical alert, he left alone. He hadn't forgotten why he chose the territory here!
But when he really saw the real situation here, he couldn't help but doubt the so-called treasure. Just relying on an ordinary person like Old Neil, is he really capable of arranging any treasure in this forest 20 miles away from the town?
Aren't you afraid of being caught by a beast on the way?
It can be said that the waterway is Xia Duo's real willingness to decide to choose the general's place here, and the treasure is the second place, but since it is here, it is still not reconciled not to look.
Geographically, Xia Duo's goblin hit last night was south of the landing site, and the so-called treasure was located directly east of the landing site.
On the spell map provided by Lord Savile, the hill where the goblin is located is very obvious on the map, but the location of the so-called treasure is not unusual.
All trees ~EbookFREE.me~ is no different from the trees next to it.
Xia Duo did not know how many times he checked, but he didn't find any peculiarities in that location.
...
On the way to "Treasure", Xia Duo didn't notice anything abnormal at first, but when he encountered a difficult road and needed to go around, he finally found a little weirdness
That is, on the straight "road" he walked before, the plants seemed to be more "healthy" than other places. This feeling was very mysterious.
At first this was just a vague feeling for him, but when Xia Duo realized this, he began to deliberately observe it.
Plants are not like humans, tall, short, fat and thin at a glance. To compare plants, first find the same plant, and secondly, it is difficult to compare.
It doesn't mean that the tree has more leaves and thicker branches, which means "healthy". Even if Xia Duo is not a botanist before crossing, he is just a web writer for programmers.
He still knew this common sense.
There are too many factors to consider, such as year, lighting, etc., control variables!
But without professional skills, Xia Duo can still use magical methods to perceive with blood, not the similarities and differences of plants, but the differences in the environment.
If only the plants on that "road" are different, it must indicate that the environment on this "road" is different.
From the perspective of magical vision alone, there is no difference between the magic net environment of this "road" and the surroundings, or the difference is so small that Xia Duo can't perceive it.
But with the help of blood vein perception, he could feel the abnormal changes in the environment, and there seemed to be abnormal water elements on this "road".
This water element is not "water" in specific terms, but a kind of flowing and moisturizing properties!
A metaphysical concept exists!
