Chapter 281: Chapter 216: Special Building? The Heart of the Alien Beast’s Territory!
Seven or eight giant blood-sucking mosquitoes flew towards Zheng Cheng and his companions.
Unfortunately, because they were in the forest, their flying speed was not very fast.
On Zheng Cheng’s warning, Yang Hou’er had already drawn his bow and let the arrow fly.
“Swish…thud!”
The arrow shot out and instantly killed the leading giant blood-sucking mosquito!
This blood-sucking mosquito was as big as a human head. Apart from its wings, the rest of its body was a faint red color.
Especially its long mouthparts, once it bites, it could drain an entire person dry within a few short seconds.
Unfortunately, in this dense forest environment, it was just a target for Yang Hou’er!
Zheng Cheng also took the opportunity to take out his Flower Scepter and with a swipe, the vines on the surrounding trees suddenly came “alive” and rushed towards the mosquitoes like giant snakes, tying them up instantly!
Flower Scepter, Skill 2!
Floral Radiance!
[Skill 2: Floral Radiance (active), can control any plants in the current casting range, giving them rapid growth, binding, tree puppet, flower puppet, grass puppet abilities.]
Zhang San took the advantage of this and entered the dark fog, wielding his steel knife to cut down the colorful spiders.
Zheng Cheng then took the opportunity to dissect the body of the colorful spider.

[Special Ingredient: Colorful Spider’s Silk Sack]

[Effect: Consumption permanently increases agility by 2 points, limit of 30 servings. Shadow resistance permanently +1.]
[Note: The organ where the Colorful Spider incubates its web, it’s very chewy!]
“Hmm? Shadow resistance?”
Zheng Cheng thought about it and resisted the desire to eat the web sack raw, and put it away to cook when he returned home.
With a thought, the vine he controlled brought a giant mosquito corpse to him, and he slashed down again!
[Skill successfully cast!]
[You have obtained a special ingredient: Giant Mosquito Blood Pearl.]
[You have obtained the DNA molecule of a Giant Mosquito.]
[You have activated the DNA map of the Giant Mosquito.]
[Special Ingredient: Giant Mosquito Blood Pearl]

[Note: The blood pearl formed from the essence of the entire body of a Giant Mosquito, please be sure to cook before consumption!]
“Paralysis resistance?”
“Cook before consuming?”
Zheng Cheng quickly put it into his space ring and proceeded forward.
The five of them then continued forward with Zheng Cheng leading the way.
One by one, the colorful spiders and giant mosquitoes fell beneath their feet.
The giant mosquitoes could fly, but with Zheng Cheng controlling the vines to block them, and Yang Hou’er’s arrows being fast and fierce, they could not cause much damage to them.
Zheng Cheng walked and dissected, soon a large amount of special ingredients appeared in his space ring.
Soon, when they arrived at a gorge, Zheng Cheng suddenly raised his hand and signaled for them to stop.
Through the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique, in the nearby area, a large number of colorful spiders and giant mosquitoes gathered.
But inexplicably, they defended that area, neither did they attack proactively when they approached.
“Hmm? What’s happening?”
Zheng Cheng swept over with his attention. The alien beasts concentrated in that area indeed were the colorful spiders and giant mosquitoes, but they were bigger and of higher level.
Elite creatures.
The area they were guarding seemed to be an… altar?
“What is that? An altar? Or is it a special building of the Alien Beasts?”
Zheng Cheng immediately ordered: “Yang Hou’er, you’re the fastest, go back and get people to clean up the battlefield and bring all the corpses back home, gather all the resources.”
“Yes, my lord!”
A few hours later, Zheng Cheng returned to his homeland.
The 100 space crystals required to upgrade his home to LV3 had already been collected.
“Upgrade!”
At his command, the home crystals began to upgrade.
Meanwhile, Zheng Cheng started to check his loot from this venture.
Apart from the Arrow Tower construction blueprint, two more different construction blueprints appeared this time.
[Name: Walls]
[Property: Defensive Structure]
[Owner: Zheng Cheng]
[Rank: LV1]
[Skill: Solidity, passive skill. Slightly increases the defensive strength of the walls.]
[Durability: 100/100]
[Note: Requires 20 units of iron ore and 20 units of timber to upgrade to LV2]
[Name: Pitfall]
[Property: Defensive Structure]
[Owner: Zheng Cheng]
[Rank: LV1]
[Skill 1: Trap. Can actively form a three-unit 5*5*3 range pitfall, can set up hidden weapons like swords and thorns.]
[Durability: 100/100]
[Note: Requires 20 units of iron ore and 20 units of timber to upgrade to LV2]
There were three Wall construction blueprints and seven Pitfall blueprints.
Thinking about it, he built all these blueprints at the entrance of the valley on the east side of his home.
He planned to wipe out all the alien beasts in the valley, then use the valley as a base to scout the entire Dark Fog World.
Soon, after consuming 100 units of space crystals, the rank of the home crystal successfully upgraded to LV3!
The buildings in his homeland, the blacksmith’s shop, the arrow tower, the wall, and the pitfall, all upgraded after consuming a lot of resources.
The most important thing was that he could recruit three-star soldiers again!
[Name: Home Crystal]
[Property: Rift in Space-Time]
[Function: Summon corresponding life forms]
[Host: Zheng Cheng]
[Rank: LV3]
[Current Units: 50/300]
[Resources: Wood *1545, Iron Ore *657, Life Crystals *120, Space Crystals *12]
[Auxiliary Buildings: Blacksmith’s Shop *1, Walls *3, Caves *7, Arrow Towers *35]
[Durability: 2000/2000]
[Hint: It requires 2000 units of iron ore and 300 units of-space crystal to upgrade to LV4]
A flash of light appeared as he opened the summoning portal, immediately revealing page with unit details.
[Current summonable unit 1: Pike Soldier]
[Pike Soldier: Three-star unit, specialized in strength and agility, equipped with iron spear. Summoning requires 2 units of life crystal.]
[Current summonable unit 2: Sharpshooter]
[Archer: Three-star unit, specializes in agility, equipped with Iron-cased Bow and 10 arrows. Summoning requires 2 units of life crystal.]
[Current summonable unit 3: Light Cavalry]
[Light Cavalry: Three-star unit, agile, equipped with a battle horse and iron spear. Summoning requires 1 unit of iron and 4 units of life crystal.]
Only three two-star units were available for summoning on the current page.
Zheng Cheng’s gaze immediately landed on the third unit.
Light Cavalry!
According to the intelligence he gathered in advance, Light Cavalry were among the elites of the Three-star units, and it was rare to be able to summon them.
Their comprehensive abilities are equivalent to that of an average Four-star unit.
He didn’t expect to be able to summon Light Cavalry this time!
This luck, it seemed, was extremely prosperous!
He quickly made a decision.
The home was located in a valley and the usefulness of the cavalry was greatly limited. However, he could not underestimate their strength and decided to recruit them on a small scale.
As for the Pike Soldiers and the Sharpshooters, he preferred Sharpshooters!
After all, the Alien Beasts he was currently facing were Colorful Spiders and Giant Mosquitoes, both having high agility.
Only Sharpshooters, being long-range attack units, could suppress them!
After making the decision, he promptly made his choice.
“Recruit 10 units of Light Cavalry, 20 units of Pike Soldiers, and summon Sharpshooters with all the remaining resources!”
Suddenly, streaks of light appeared before his eyes, and rows of upright Light Cavalries, Regular Soldiers, and Sharpshooters, appeared in front of him.
Especially the Light Cavalry in the front row!
Each of them was standing next to a fine horse and wearing leather armor that protected important body parts.
In their hands, they held a special iron spear for cavalry warfare, and they looked very imposing.
“Ma Lie/Feng Cang/Li Youji salutes to the lord!”
“Rise, there’s no need for formalities.”
Zheng Cheng stretched out his hand lightly and said, “Ma Lie, you lead all the Light Cavalry units and guard the entrance of the valley. Make sure no Alien Beast enters the valley.”
“Everyone else, follow me into the mist to eliminate Alien Beasts!”
“Yes, lord!”
With Zheng Cheng’s command, more than a hundred soldiers quickly spread out.
Some stayed at the base for lumbering and resource collection.
Others went to the entrance of the valley on the east side of the base to strengthen the defense.
All the remaining Pike Soldiers and all the Sharpshooters followed Zheng Cheng into the mist!
Before they entered, Zheng Cheng once again distributed all the special food that had been collected to these people.
Everyone gained over ten additional attributes without needing to level up, significantly enhancing their abilities!
“Fire!”
“Fire!”
“Fire!”
In the mist, at Zheng Cheng’s command, more than thirty arrows tore through the dark mist and ripped through the air, mercilessly shooting into the swarm of Alien Beasts in the distance.
“Squeak, squeak!”
“Squeak, squeak!”
Instantly enraged, hundreds of Colorful Spiders and Giant Mosquitoes rushed over, aside from dozens that were shot dead, all the remaining Alien Beasts charged forward.
“Charge!”
Upon Zheng Cheng’s another order, twenty Pike Soldiers and Niujindao, Chen Zhong, and others went up to confront these Alien Beasts at close quarters, forming a defense in front of the Sharpshooters.
Whilst Zheng Cheng also joined the battle, manipulating vines to control Alien Beasts, while wielding the Yunxiao Sword hurriedly chopping and hacking into the piles of Alien Beasts.
The alternation of Penicillin Parasite Body Shield and Adrenaline Excitement Technique made every soldier fight like having a war god in their bodies, one could easily kill dozens of Colorful Spiders and Giant Mosquitoes.
Within less than an hour, the Alien Beasts in this area were completely wiped out.
There were at least three to four hundred corpses on the ground.
The area they had been guarding was now exposed before Zheng Cheng’s eyes.
As he walked over, Zheng Cheng was taken aback.
This was actually a… home crystal?
No!
It wasn’t a home crystal!
It was another kind of crystal!
His home crystal was light blue.
The crystal in front of him was slightly red!
Was this… the Heart of the Land?
[Name: Alien Beast’s Heart of the Land]
[Attribute: Space-Time Rift]
[Description: The Heart of the Land of Alien Beasts is the main building of the Alien Beast’s camp.]
[Level: LV3]
[Effect: You can consume life crystals, space crystals, and other materials to recruit Alien Beasts of different star levels. The current level is LV3. It can summon one-star Black Skin Worms, two-star Black Shell Worms, three-star Colorful Spiders, and three-star Giant Blood-sucking Mosquitoes As well as a chance to summon Alien Beast Heroes or Elite Alien Beasts.]
“Is this the Heart of the Land?”
Zheng Cheng had a thought, the Heart of the Land was essentially Home Crystal!
The so-called Space-Time Rift was a space condensing point, which, by consuming different resources, could summon corresponding beings from the plane connected by the Heart of the Land.
That is to say, this Heart of the Land in front of him was connected to the plane of Alien Beasts!
Just as Zheng Cheng was contemplating how to deal with this Heart of the Land, it suddenly emitted a beam of light.
A strange Alien Beast, more than half a person’s height, appeared slowly.
Zheng Cheng’s gaze suddenly changed, an Alien Beast was being summoned by the Heart of the Land!
