Chapter 249: Chapter 150: Green Bamboo Fence and Marking Stone, Expanding Territory_3
But now, it’s different!
The Mirror Immortal Camp, I’ve completely offended them.
Although there are five wooden mannequins guarding the base, and I have strength comparable to the Cold Resistance Level, I’m not too worried about Yuwen Hu and He Yuanhun.
What I’m really worried about is their sheer numbers.
If those hundreds from the Earth-digging Realm of Mirror Immortal really come in full force, given the current strength of Great Xia, whether we can hold them off is still uncertain.
At this time, defensive resources are very important!
Xia Hong’s mind flickered slightly, and the wood and iron in the system decreased by 20 and 5 points respectively.
At the same time, a piece of green bamboo fence, one meter wide and more than five meters high, appeared in his hand.
The bamboo fence was arranged in a slanted cross shape, appearing as one whole without any signs of assembly, with a glossy color and sharp tops resembling long spears, and a layer of twenty-centimeter-long spikes on the surface emitting a chilling gleam.
Green Bamboo Fence (Level 1): A one-time consumable defensive resource for the base.
Special Function 1: Alerts the host immediately if touched by outsiders.
Special Function 2: The bamboo fence spikes can be activated and launched by the host. After launching, the fence becomes invalid and non-regenerative, requiring re-exchange.
Upgrade Conditions: Exchange a total of ten thousand meters.
Xia Hong placed the bamboo fence ten meters away and walked to face it directly, his mind focused.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
The bamboo fence, though only one meter wide, was five meters tall, with at least a hundred or two hundred spikes distributed on it.
The spikes suddenly shot toward Xia Hong with a strong airflow, causing the fire pit to blaze fiercely.
After just one look at the speed of the incoming spikes, Xia Hong chose to close his eyes, standing still and allowing the spikes to shoot toward his body.
Clang... Clang... Clang...
Over a hundred spikes, upon hitting Xia Hong’s body, felt like they were colliding with a solid wall, clattering softly to the ground after making a sharp sound.
Xia Hong opened his eyes, looked at the white marks on his arms and chest, and his eyes were filled with joy.
"This power..."
Opening the window, Xia Hong glanced at the mountain-backed environment on three sides of the base and smiled.
"The price is a bit high, but we don’t need that many!"
Xia Hong then turned his gaze to the next structure: the Marking Stone.
He could roughly guess that this structure should serve to demarcate the territory. Previously, Great Xia hadn’t had any disputes with other camps, so there was no use for it.
It’s about time to get it done now!
Coal, 90 Iron, the resource consumption is not much.
With a slight mental gesture, Xia Hong deducted the resources and held a half-meter-long rhomboid jade stone in his hand.
Marking Stone (Level 1): The Mother Stone, a territorial building, with a maximum radiation distance of one thousand meters.
Special Function 1: Can exchange for four additional sub-stones, which, after establishing a connection with the Mother Stone, form the base’s territory. Sub-stone exchange price: 100 Coal, 60 Iron.
Special Function 2: Within the territory, all activities of any foreign life forms will be monitored and reported to the Mother Stone.
Upgrade Conditions: 8000 Coal, 6000 Iron.
Xia Hong suddenly stood up with a swoosh, his expression filled with excitement.
Whether or not the territory is marked is secondary, the help that the Marking Stone provides to camp security is tremendous.
It monitors all activities of foreign life forms within the area.
And will report back to the Mother Stone!
This means that even if he is not at the camp, those who remain can confirm the camp’s safety through the Mother Stone.
By the way, do deceitful monsters... count as life forms?
This question suddenly popped into Xia Hong’s mind, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
This question, he really wasn’t sure about.
"No matter, even if deceitful monsters do not count as life forms, there’s still the Iron Refining Furnace holding up, so in the future, whether it’s humans or monsters trying to approach the camp unnoticed, it will be virtually impossible!"
With this assurance, Xia Hong felt instantly much better, and for the moment, even the Mirror Immortal Camp to the north seemed less concerning.
"Someone, notify everyone in the Hunting Team, and Luo Yuan, Mu Dong, and Bai Dongying to come over."
"Yes, leader!"
During Xia Hong’s secluded cultivation, there were people from the Xia Chuan Sect stationed outside the door specifically.
The person outside, hearing Xia Hong’s voice filled with obvious surprise, quickly replied and dashed down the stairs.
For the past five days, the entire camp had been in a state of lockdown, with the Hunting Team busy mining in the cave, and others not going out.
Upon learning that Xia Hong had emerged from seclusion, everyone soon came rushing in excitedly.
"Please have a seat first!"
The Hunting Team consisted of seventeen members, plus Luo Yuan, Mu Dong, and Bai Dongying, totaling twenty people.
Xia Hong first signaled everyone to sit, then asked with a playful tone.
"Five days without going out, you must be feeling a bit restless, right?"
Yuan Cheng was the first to respond: "Restless is manageable, mainly we’re worried that the lack of incoming resources might affect your breakthrough, leader!"
Luo Yuan also chimed in: "Indeed, your breakthrough is currently the biggest matter. We’re only worried about this, everything else is fine."
Xia Chuan and the others nodded upon hearing this, evidently their thoughts aligned with the two.
Seeing everyone concerned about his breakthrough progress, Xia Hong felt slightly warm at heart.
However, knowing their concerns, he waved it off with a confident look, saying: "Rest assured, even without my breakthrough, the Mirror Immortal Camp wouldn’t dare do anything. If Yuwen Hu comes again..."
Although Xia Hong didn’t finish the sentence, the coldness on his face made everyone understand instantly.
A look of excitement spread across all their faces.
Indeed, last time, the leader almost killed Yuwen Hu.
