Chapter 140 Exploration blocked

The courtyard of Heyman 375 is very large, and the Goblin Kingdom in it also covers a large area.

Even the B31 area in the Goblin Kingdom covers an area of ​​30,000 to 40,000 square kilometers. It is not intuitive to say, but you must know that the land area of ​​countries such as New Zealand and Denmark in the previous life was only this size.

In a relatively primitive natural environment, the B31 area brings people a vastness that far exceeds the observation data.

The exploration mission is not about heading straight to the destination, nor is it a quick matter where you just have to fight a monster and call it a day.

Mu Hua and others who entered the B31 area were like a drop in the ocean, and it was impossible to complete the exploration in a short time just like a small country covering an area.

If we put aside the threat of monsters to the human world, human adventurers are actually more like a group of colonists. Exploring the courtyard is somewhat like developing a colony for humans.

Of course, if humans don't come to the courtyard to cause trouble, monsters will almost certainly go out of the courtyard to mess with humans, so the term colonization can only be regarded as a description.

Find land-accessible routes in the area.

Eliminate monsters near the route.

Mark safe routes.

Mark possible magical traps on land and in the sky on safe routes.

Combined with video recording and evidence collection, these are basically the main contents of the exploration mission that Tabitha received.

The reward for the B31 area exploration mission is based on the number of kilometers of the effective route. The ultimate goal of the mission is to plan a safe ground route that travels in all directions within the B31 area.

Human exploration of courtyards is no child's play, nor is it as simple as hunting and killing.

At its root, it involves the acquisition of resources, money, land occupation, population reproduction and other aspects of development to ensure that humans can continue to fight against monsters.

It was almost dusk, and in a bumpy day, seven battles involving hundreds of individuals broke out between Mu Hua and others and the monsters.

After all, this is the Goblin Kingdom, and the monsters encountered in these battles are mainly Goblins of all levels.

No danger was encountered during the battle, but after going around and around, Mu Hua and others did not explore the B31 area efficiently.

On the originally planned route, we encountered a two-tailed devil scorpion, but when we changed the route, we encountered a nest of armored horned pigs.

Warcraft usually demarcate their own living areas. For those warcraft with a more ferocious temperament, entering their territory will be attacked by them.

The Two-tailed Demon Scorpion and the Armored Horned Pig are both very aggressive monsters. They can run and fight, and have cunning personalities.

However, when Mu Hua and others could not kill them for the time being, they could only change the exploration route twice after making necessary annotations.

As a result, at the end of the day, through raven reconnaissance and radar scanning, Mu Hua and his party only found a safe route in the B31 area that was more than 40 kilometers away in a straight line.

There is no way. Although the twin-tailed scorpion and the armored horned pig are level 4 and 5 monsters, Mu Hua can try to forcefully attack the ogre cave, but he does not dare to easily compete with these two monsters, especially the Gravechi people. When traveling together.

The double-tailed scorpion is a giant scorpion with a body length of more than seven meters. Their attack mode is relatively simple, including pincers and tail stings. If you fight head-on, be careful, even Mu Hua, who is not good at physical skills, can handle it.

But the twin-tailed demon scorpions are good at earth magic and have strong ability to burrow into the ground. These guys also have a lot of poison demon bee colonies living in them.

The tail stings of these poisonous demon bees can ignore defensive magic and can be shot out of the body. Although these tail stings are not fatal, they can make people miserable. It can be said to be a kind of 'harmony' that makes other creatures unable to die even if they want to. attack.

Originally, Mu Hua actually wanted to use the undead bones to attack the Two-tailed Demon Scorpion, but the Two-tailed Demon Scorpion was very cunning and would burrow into the ground as soon as it saw the black-armored skeleton general.

None of them had a way to stop the Two-tailed Scorpion from burrowing into the ground. Tabitha directly noted the existence of the Two-tailed Scorpion on the map and changed the route while driving the chariot.

The armored horned pig is also quite large, with an adult shoulder height of up to four meters. Its body surface is covered with a carapace that is a mixture of sand, rocks, and plant fibers. The carapace can reach a thickness of forty centimeters.

The armored horned pig is huge in size, with short legs and a low chassis. It attacks like a wild boar. It has great strength, high defense and strong vitality. When these guys encounter strong enemies, they will run around and charge wildly.

They are social monsters. Because there are too many of them, Mu Hua and others lack the means to kill them quickly. It is difficult to fight them. In a short period of time, it is difficult for Mu Hua and others to annihilate them. Mark their general range of activities. Tebitha changed course again.

Taking out a few groups of goblins who are like car gangsters along the way, the combat benefits are not bad.

Probably because they have gone deep into the Goblin Kingdom, many of the Goblins here have weapons.

In addition to the regularly dropped magic stones, they mainly drop resources such as magic iron, mithril, and gems.

Needless to say, magic iron and mithril are materials for making human currency.

Most of the gems dropped by low-level monsters are beautiful jewelry, not magic gems.

Those gems are of no great use other than being beautiful.

The reason why monsters can use these decorative gems as projection sacrificial objects is because these things have value on the human side.

To put it bluntly, the sacrificial items that need to be prepared when the monsters are projected in the courtyard are not necessarily magic items.

Some things that have no value to monsters, but humans like and have needs, and the human group determines that they are valuable, then they can be used as sacrificial items.

As for the specific value? Well, you can find a ten-carat diamond and ask the girls.

In addition to equipment ores, monsters will also drop some biological body tissues.

For example, monster teeth and claws are necessary materials for humans to make exorcism bullets. The warheads of exorcism bullets often need to integrate monster body tissues into magic metal to achieve the effect of penetrating the monster body.

For example, some leather, leather scrolls, and sometimes even projection monsters will drop magic cores.

These are certainly not parts of the projection monsters themselves, but they killed other monsters in hell and left those valuable parts as sacrificial items.

The drops of projection monsters are strange and weird. Most of the magic cores and monster body tissues used by humans to make magic items are not directly taken from the monsters that descended from the main body, but the sacrificial items dropped by the projection monsters with higher combat power in the courtyard.

Very discordant rules, from which it is not difficult to see the chaos and cruelty of hell.

"Boss, we've made a lot of money today." The chariot covered with branches was hidden behind a rock. Gravizi and his men were lying on the roof of the chariot. Mark said to Gravizi.

The Goblin camp appeared again on the scheduled route, but this time it was not like the scattered Goblins earlier.

Raven discovered during the reconnaissance that this Goblin camp had built fortifications similar to city walls.

Gravizi and his men stayed here, while Mu Hua and Taibesha went to the camp to investigate the specific situation.

"A lot, if we deal with everything, we can probably get 40 to 50 million credit points." Gravizi calculated.

"It's only been one day, we can share 8 million, and the most important thing is that there is no consumption." Devin sighed and muttered.

"This brother and sister are really amazing. Forty black-armored skeleton generals, I think they won't lose money if they are equipped with some high-grade ammunition. Maybe they can make more money."

"Boss, Taibesha seems to want to invite us to join the group. Do you want to consider it? Take advantage of the current seniority. The strategy group has many people and many things to do, but it may not make more money than now." Kaili said on the side.

After a day, Gravizi's small group has a much better understanding of Mu Hua and Taibesha, and some of them have some small ideas.

However, Gravizi did not think too much about Kaili's suggestion, and shook his head and disagreed.

"It's okay to cooperate on a few missions, but it's not appropriate to join the group. I'm afraid we can't keep up with their pace."

"Besides, the strategy group is safer after all." Gravizi said.

"That's why we have to get seniority. With their talents, it's only a matter of time before they recruit people. No matter how strong they are, they can't withstand high-intensity battles without sufficient personnel." Kaili retorted.

"Heh, Kerry, forget it, just listen to the boss. We are not from the same world as them." Mark said with a smile, and Kerry and the others were puzzled.

"I don't care about the fighting power of Mu Hua and Tai Besha, the key is that they have a good family background, maybe they are nobles."

"Huh? What's wrong with nobles? This is the courtyard, the world of adventurers, Mu Hua and Tai Besha are both adventurers."

Kerry frowned, and although Pine and Devin didn't say anything, their expressions also agreed.

"No, you don't understand, I have seen many young ladies and young masters from powerful families, they have a happy life, a happy life, and are very romantic." Mark changed his posture and lay on the roof of the car on his back.

This time, including Gravizi, they were a little confused, not knowing what Mark was talking about, why he was talking about happiness and romance.

"Those powerful people in the human world are not like the nobles in the courtyard kingdom. They only need to talk to get endless wealth."

"They also have more time to think about communication, life, human nature and other messy things." Mark said, with a little sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

"Although there are Coke and beer in the carriage, I also saw tea from the Principality of Jurajac."

"That stuff, all our gains today, I'm afraid we can't even exchange for two taels. I'm afraid only the rich and powerful among the residents will buy this luxury that has no use except for the taste."

"Hey, Mark, what do you want to say? Is it a problem for the captain to have money?" Pine was confused and a little impatient. "No, it's not about money, but the brains of the rich and powerful are all wrong."

"Do you believe it? In front of them, it doesn't really matter what you do. They will like you because of a casual word you say, or they may hate you because of a casual word you say."

"Especially those young ladies and young masters, they are quite neurotic."

"They have countless strange rules, laws, and standards for identifying people in their heads. So I said they are very romantic, a group of neurotics who don't have to worry about life and are full of romanticism."

"Kaili's so-called seniority is useless to them."

"If you can't show enough value, you may be hated by them before you figure out the situation."

"They always try to figure out some inexplicable things, maybe a word, maybe an action, maybe an eye expression."

"Of course, if you are lucky and say something that resonates with them when they need comfort, maybe they will love you to death?"

"In general, the young ladies and young masters of the rich and powerful are more neurotic. I think they are just idle. If you get along with that kind of young people, don't think you will be at ease. It's quite troublesome." Mark said while holding a weed.

"Uh, that's not the case. Are you saying it's the same with Mu and Tabitha? I see you get along well with them." Kairi asked doubtfully.

"Judging from the combat prowess they have shown at this age, they probably don't have that much leisure time. I think they are much better than the ones I have seen."

"But who knows what will happen if we get along for a long time? I still agree with the boss's statement. If you have the opportunity to cooperate more, there is no need to rush into joining the team."

"The most important thing is that we really can't keep up with other people's pace. We can't get people to cooperate with us. Some dangers that others can withstand, we will lie dead in minutes." Mark said casually, and several people fell into silence.

"Okay, that's the end of this topic. Mark, contact Tebitha and ask them what their current situation is." After a moment of silence, Gravitzi interrupted the silence.

Although he didn't know whether Mark's words were intentional or unintentional, Gravecchi found that Mark's rhetoric was quite effective for Kaili and the others, at least it was more effective than simply saying that they couldn't keep up with Mu Hua and the others. The few people who were impetuous earlier were obviously more at ease now.

Gravezzi didn't pay much attention to Mark's nonsense. Mark had seen rich and powerful people. What Gravecchi was worried about was that he couldn't cope with the intensity of Mu Hua's demon hunt.

Kaili and the others are not necessarily afraid of danger, but they can't stand the situation of having to be careful with every word and expression. Wouldn't that mean living like slaves?

If you live with this kind of virtue, do you think that kind of person can hunt monsters? Don't make trouble, if this quality is in danger, why don't you just become a demon?

Kaili and others were a little skeptical of Mark's statement; a boss who dared to guide his subordinates to such a mentality would have to have enough sense of security in himself to dare to do this?

While everyone was thinking, Mark called up the terminal to contact Tebitha. After a moment, a rough wooden city wall mixed with earth and stone appeared on the projection screen.

Along with the scene that was specially shown to them, Tabitha's somewhat helpless voice came from the projection screen.

"Get ready to retreat. There are many elite goblins here. If they don't have siege means, they won't come out, and we can't attack here."
