Chapter 183 The Power of Sharing
Chapter 183 Shared... Power
"No, you humans are like locusts. When you get there, you will empty the resources there, cut down all the trees, burn out all the weeds, hollow out the ore, water pollution, and catch the wild beasts... In a short time, Moyun Ridge will become farmland and houses.≥, and then there will be no room for our wild beasts to survive. When the ore here is dug and the trees are cut off, you will find another good place, leaving me with only bare ridges, empty ridges, and land without grass.
No, you humans are too greedy. After occupying a piece of land, you think that everything on the land is your own, your own, and your original master will be driven out of your home by you with various excuses. You humans can develop a city and a country from a piece of land that is big... No, I can't tolerate you sleeping beside me, never!"
Yun Duo interrupted with a smile: "You just praised our creativity. Those ores and those spirit stones, without us digging, will continue to lie in the soil and in the deep ditch. Only our human creativity will expose it to the ground and make it a treasure in the world. Don't you want to share this creation?
Yes, I just talked about sharing who else besides human beings have such creativity? Without our efforts, those treasures will be part of the soil, who would have thought of using them, who?"
"You will cut down all the big trees..."
"We will not cut down all the big trees on the hillside. I promise: as long as the trees are older than a certain period, such as five hundred years, we will never cut down... I heard that it is difficult for plant-based monsters to cultivate, and five hundred years can only lead to qi entering the body, right? We will only cut down those young trees, and once they are leveled out enough farmland, we will protect all the trees growing nearby."
"No, human promises do not work. I know that you humans are all under human jurisdiction. You promise not to cut down giant trees, but the people who rule over you order them to cut down, and you will inevitably obey your promises. I know that these giant trees are very expensive for humans. Your king likes to use them to build palaces, temples, houses and boats.
In the end, their bodies will turn into firewood and be burned to ashes by you..."
"Are you still there? Haha, all I want is the right of residence, only the right of residence. Are you going to waive the property rights? Who does this? Can't you eat him as food, and I won't stop you."
The eagle tilted his head and looked at Yunduo: "Right of residence?...Property rights? What do you mean? What are you talking about? Well, you don't stop me, ah, don't you really cut down big trees?"
Yun Duo nodded: "I don't cut down trees that have grown for more than 500 years. And I will formulate a policy to plant a tree for every tree cut. I cut down trees just to make room for building houses and plant food, not to burn it."
"But. humans all need to cook..."
"It's not just wood, but coal. And... ahem, it's too primitive to make a fire by burning wood to cook. As far as I know, there are many rocks that can burn, and many simple magic tools that can generate high temperatures, and the temperature of cooking is actually the easiest to reach."
"But... there are too many people, so it will become too noisy here."
"Human creativity is endless. The more people, the more things I create, let alone. I will also control the population and will never cause disasters."
The old Peng tilted his head, and the hawk's eyes showed a hesitant look. Yun Duo spread his hands and continued to explain: "Yes, what I just said was a promise, a promise about sharing. There are many things we can create. You are the landlord here, so of course you can share a profit."
The eagle flapped its wings, and a strong wind suddenly rolled up on the platform. Then it clamped its wings, shrugged its shoulders and walked a few steps on the platform... The eagle's body was very large, but when it walked, its gait was very light and there was no vibration on the ground.
"Share, it's interesting... Boy, you look up like you look east and there is a lake 800 miles away from here. There is a red phosphorus snake in the lake. I have been fighting with it for 800 years. It has been trying to swallow my inner alchemy, and I also want to swallow its inner alchemy..."
Yun Duo stopped interrupting and listened quietly to Mo Yun Dapeng nagging alone.
"Young man, you look up and look westward. There was a seventh-level lizard in the cave that was originally seven hundred miles away. This lizard always wanted to treat me and the red phosphorus snake as food. But two years ago, this lizard became someone else's food. The ice-wind wolf that swallowed this lizard suddenly advanced to the eighth level. It occupied the lizard's territory. Next, it must have wanted to swallow me, or the red phosphorus snake.
There was a fire phoenix nearby. You looked north and saw the smokey mountain? Against the backdrop of the peaks at the end of the sky, the volcano was like a chimney, which was obvious. The fire phoenix was on that mountain. This fire phoenix fought with me six hundred years ago, and we all wanted to eat each other. It was not as fast as mine. I couldn't beat it but could escape it."
Yun Duo nodded: "The magic array on the top of your mountain is actually not complicated. It just builds some stones at will to condense water vapor. It is probably to prevent fire. You are afraid that the fire will burn the mountain. If I am there, you don't have to be afraid. I am the best at extinguishing fires."
The eagle raised his head and stared at the tiny cloud from a high place: "Hey, I know, you are the water spirit root, I smell it. You humans use people like you as tonics, but our demon clan doesn't need to do to me. Your cultivation is too weak. I like to eat the golden elixir of the Jindan monk... Well, the Nascent Soul is OK."
Well, this guy is a seventh-level monster, Yun Duo underestimated this guy.
Yunduo immediately: "I can also help you improve this magic circle."
The eagle twisted his butt and returned to the entrance of the cave, humming and said, "After I reach the fifth level, my demand for food is indeed not so strong."
Yun Duo immediately continued: "Yes, yes, ordinary meat is useless to you. What you want to eat is the inner elixir of the monster above level five."
The eagle twisted its butt and pointed its head at Yunduo again, adding a sentence: "Maybe there is also the golden elixir of human monks. Well, the inner elixir monks' inner elixir is also good, and the taste is quite delicious."
Yun Duo leisurely reminds: "Moyun Mountain has three spiritual veins. These three spiritual veins have nurtured countless spirit stones. Once those spirit stones are excavated, we can submit 30% of the income as a dedication."
Yun Duo glanced at Mo Yun Dapeng's claws and continued, "I know your eagle claws are very sharp. I know you don't look down on ordinary metal armor, but metal is metal after all, and metal is always sharper than meat. And I happen to know the smelting methods of many metals, and I know there must be some alloy substances. They are sharper than your claws."
"Claws? You proudly call my noble hands claws. Are you so brave?"
"Ahhhh, can you communicate happily? It's just a name, what kind of fire is it? Sometimes I also call my hands claws, so how big is the claws? Can you see the essence of the problem? Don't get stuck in words anymore."
"Hey, you said just now. Is there a metal sharper than my claws?"
"Yes, human civilization in the secular world has only developed into the Iron Age, which is too stupid. In fact, the sharpest one should not be the iron knife. As far as I know, after the iron tool, there should be a platinum civilization. The platinum knife is much more... Forget it. Simply put, a sword made of tighter metal will be sharper than the iron tool. I firmly believe that it is more sharp than platinum.
Can you understand? For example, some magic weapons are much sharper than platinum swords... Innovation is endless, Moyunling has rich minerals, and we should create sharper weapons here, and I firmly believe that I can do this."
Mo Yun Dapeng twisted his head and asked tentatively: "30%? All?"
Yun Duo shook his head firmly: "Impossible, I can give you 30% of the spirit stones excavated, but in the world, governments in various places have not taxed the people more than tithes.
After the tithing tax is imposed, I have to keep a part of it myself. I can’t work in vain, right? Can you understand this? So, I can give you 30% of the spirit stones, and other things, such as minerals, spiritual herbs, and wood, I can give you 1% of them. As for rice, poultry, livestock and other agricultural products, it’s useless for you to feed them, isn’t it?”
"One percent?" Dapeng looked at Yunduo with his head tilted, and Yunduo nodded heavily.
Dapeng raised his neck and seemed to think about it, but it had no idea that one percent was the number.
If you look carefully, it seems that only the spirit stones are useful to you. As for other things, such as human clothes, such as poultry raised by humans, these may be useful to the tiny humans, and to yourself... Dapeng really can't think of any use.
"Well, one percent, 30%..." Since Dapeng couldn't calculate it, it decided not to forget it. Anyway, those tiny humans were moving under their noses. They wanted the things they produced. Could it be that they would not fly over to get them?
Dapeng waved his claws: "My protective array..."
Yun Duo immediately took the conversation: "It seems that you don't have a clear understanding of this magic circle. This magic circle is just using natural terrain to gather water vapor. What's the effect of such a magic circle on the fire phoenix... Cough cough, I guess that the fire phoenix is very busy recently, I'm afraid it won't have time to come to you."
After pausing for a moment, Yunduo immediately continued, "I can help you improve this formation, but you know that such a formation that surrounds the entire mountain requires a huge amount of spirit stones. But I can guarantee that when I complete your magic array, let alone that fire phoenix, even if a powerful monster comes, I can successfully trap it."
Yunduo showed strong confidence in his words. When he said this, he kept looking at Dapeng up and down. Dapeng was so cold that he couldn't help but think about it. He could trap monsters that were better than me, and of course... trap me.
This Qingyun Dapeng is not easy to talk about. Over the years, a gap of hatred has been built between monsters and humans. They treat each other as natural food and cultivation resources. They never thought that one day they would sit down and discuss with each other and reach a deal.
However, Qingyun Dapeng was indeed not interested in taking action this time. On the one hand, it attacked Yunduo with the thrown stones, but found that the stones that it threw out, full of the power of the Nascent Soul, did not affect Yunduo at all. Yunduo looked as if he was light. In this case, even Qingyun Dapeng hated Yunduo, it knew that he had no choice but to deal with the other party for the time being.
The situation in the forest of monsters is now extremely abnormal. Most monsters know in private that a big monster is about to transform into a god. Once the big monster turns into a god, the demon clans have their own king. In front of the demon king, the seventh-level Qingyun Dapeng is just a lackey.
However, in a powerful society, everyone has the idea of becoming a king and can replace him. Therefore, the forest of monsters at this moment is the most dangerous. All capable monsters are looking for opportunities to increase their cultivation, such as swallowing their natural enemies in order to gain advancement.
Under such circumstances, Qingyun Dapeng couldn't help but think about it.
Well, he is only at the seventh level now. It is equivalent to the early stage of the Nascent Soul of humans. Even if it takes a step further, it still cannot become a demon king. But it cannot become a king. With his high cultivation level, he can gain more power in front of the king. Therefore, Qingyun Dapeng is also looking forward to being able to take another step.
The more in this situation, the less dared Qingyun Dapeng dared to provoke the battle at will. If he could win the opponent silently, then it wouldn't matter; but if the opponent's fight was shaking and attracted other monsters to spy on it, it would be another situation. If he couldn't do it well, he would become someone else's food.
Since the other party is difficult to take it, it is necessary to temporarily compromise. After all, the most important enemy of Qingyun Dapeng is not the ant at the foot of the mountain, but the red phosphorus snake, as well as the fire phoenix, ice wind wolf, etc.
"Okay OK, okay." Dapeng impatiently pulled the stone with his claws and said, "Share... you can live at the foot of the mountain, but it will not affect my cultivation. As for the spirit stone you mentioned, remember to hand over the share you should pay to me every month. It cannot be delayed."
Yun Duo nodded: "I will hand over the spirit stone to you. I will set up a express delivery line for delivering items on this mountain peak, so that we can not come up to disturb you. Only the spirit stones are transmitted up every month..."
"My protective array..."
Yunduo immediately continued: "Don't worry about this. I just said that it takes a lot of spirit stones to rebuild your protective array, so I have to mine the spirit stone ore first. After I have accumulated enough spirit stones, I can start to build your protective array.
However, this is nothing. I don’t think you are too anxious. Your natural protective array has existed for many years. It is not a big problem to maintain it for a while. When I find the mine vein and collect a sufficient number of spirit stones, I will come up and rebuild the protective array for you."
Dapeng waved his claws and drove Yun Duo impatiently: "Okay, okay, go down, remember to move faster. You can't delay my first month's spirit stones, and the number cannot be small."
Yun Duo smiled slightly, bowed gently, and turned around and walked down the mountain.
In fact, Yun Duo was already covered in cold sweat at this time. Although he could defend against Qingyun Dapeng's attack, defense and offense were completely different. During defense, he could superimpose the Vajra Talisman layer by layer on his body. When the opponent's attack arrived, the Vajra Talisman that exploded gradually weakened the opponent's attack power until the end, completely offset the attack power added to his body.
But it's different to attack the other party.
Bullets have the speed of bullets, and shells have the speed of shells. No matter how many bullets are superimposed, the bullet will not become shells. What they always give to the opponent is the impact of bullets. Unless Yun Duo can come up with a weapon with greater impact... Of course, the latter already belongs to the category of weapon innovation, which the world calls "artifact forging".
Qingyun Dapeng is in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. After the Nascent Soul was formed, Qingyun Dapeng's body was already stronger than imagined. He could not hurt a single fur when he used weapons in the Golden Pill stage. Yun Duo's current attack weapon could only hurt the Golden Pill stage monk. After all, he was just a foundation building.
Qingyun Dapeng was stupid. He took it for granted that he would have the attack ability of the defense. Yunduo's strict defense, Qingyun Dapeng could not do anything to him. As a result, Qingyun Dapeng thought that Yunduo's attack power also exceeded its foundation-building cultivation, so he imagined that once Yunduo took action, the battle between the two would be earth-shaking, and the earth would shake...
Yunduo knew the nature of his paper tiger. He was afraid that Qingyun Dapeng would see through it. The negotiations were going well now, but Yunduo did not dare to tell his secret that the guy on Su Zhishan waiting under the thick fog was a Nascent Soul. Animals like Peng Diao have always had sharp eyes. Yunduo was afraid that Qingyun Dapeng would see the clues when he had an action, so he smiled gently, and looked neither ecstatic nor complacent.
After breathing, just as he usually spoke, Yun Duo calmly greeted Su Zhi: "Let's go, go down the mountain."
This is the case for Su Zhi. Even if she has questions in her heart, she never asks. When she hears Yun Duo's greeting, she just turns around. She follows Yun Duo with her eyebrows down and walks down the mountain.
On the way back, they passed by Taohua Valley again. The third lady of Taohua was still waiting for Yunduo next to the peach forest. When she saw Yunduo coming down from the mountain intact, she suddenly widened her eyes and looked shocked.
Yun Duo did not stop at his feet, and he waved his hand and said, "We plan to build a city at the foot of the mountain. In order not to affect you, please draw a boundary on the mountainside. I will notify my people and never cross that boundary."
Tao Sanniang bowed and asked with a crisp voice: "Do you plan to build a city in Lingyuan? I saw that the monks at the foot of the mountain piled up all the lapis lazuli they collected near Lingyuan."
Yun Duo's feet still did not stop, and he had already stepped out of the Peach Blossom Forest in three or two steps. Then he replied without looking back: "I don't know where Lingyuan is, but I did choose a place to let them use lapis lazuli to build the city."
A gust of fragrant wind blew, and the third lady of Taohua followed Yun Duo's footsteps and said happily: "I will go with my husband... Hehe, Lingyuan was originally a blessing in the world. But I used to be a low-skilled person and dared not go out to show up. Now I have the protection of my husband. I have also gone to Lingyuan to settle my home."
Yun Duo snorted without comment.
At this moment, a shadow behind Yun Duo shook, and Jin Cheng and Manzhu jumped out of the void.
After Manzhu landed, she waved her sickle to the top of the peak and made a warning gesture. Jin Cheng patted her chest and said repeatedly: "What a terrible pressure. When we were on the top of the mountain just now, we always wanted to jump out and show our face, but the big roll kept its pressure. We felt that once we took action, the big roll would crush us to pieces with one claw."
The third lady of Taohua was startled by the elusiveness of Jincheng and Manzhu. She took a few steps forward, but immediately took a few steps forward, tightly pulled one of Yunduo's sleeves, hid behind Yunduo, and looked at Jincheng and Manzhu timidly.
Manzhu didn't turn around, she looked up at the top of the peak and said with difficulty: "Wind."
Manzhu doesn't speak often, and her words sound strange and mute.
Yun Duo understood what Manzhu meant, she said that the Qinglin Dapeng was a wind-type monster.
"The wind-type, the wind-type monster in the Nascent Soul stage can already tear the void... No wonder! Okay, I understand, you go back first." Yun Duo waved his hand, and Manzhu disappeared immediately.
Jincheng didn't want to leave immediately. She raised her steps and shook her feet, then dropped her feet on the spot, reminding her: "The pressure this big roll puts on people is terrifying. Do you want to live under its surveillance?"
Yun Duo showed a smile you know at Jin Cheng. This big roll asked Yun Duo to improve the magic array for him. However, is the magic array just used to trap Huo Feng?
Jin Cheng smiled sweetly and then disappeared from the spot.
The third lady of Taohua felt her hand move, and Yun Duo turned around and walked down the mountain. The sleeve she had originally pulled in her hand was gently pulled away by Yun Duo, and she walked down without looking back. The third lady of Taohua gritted her teeth and raised her heels to Yun Duo's footsteps. She followed Yun Duo, but Yun Duo never looked back.
When he arrived at the camp below, he found that the monks had already built the temporary camp almost.
For monks, collecting lapis lazuli ore is not difficult. The monks are extremely powerful. As long as they find the ore veins, they can use magic to cut them, cut them into huge stones directly in the soil, and then peel them out from the veins. The collected stones are put into storage bags. A monk will collect half of the wall stones back and forth at a time.
The newly built ridge is a completely pentagonal ridge. Small water chestnuts are built on the edges and corners of each ridge. A towering spell tower is built on the water chestnuts to store gold and thunder magic spells required for defense. The walls of the ridge are as thick as six meters, each room is as high as four meters, and the room on the bottom floor is as high as six meters.
After the bastion was completed, the entire castle wall was more than 60 meters high, towering up and down, completely blue. It is divided into twelve floors, each side wall, each floor accommodates two monks, plus five corner tower parts of each side wall, each side wall accommodates three people, a pentagonal bastion, each floor accommodates fifteen people, and a twelve-story castle, which theoretically holds a total of 180 people.
However, in order to give preferential treatment to the participants, this bastion only allows team members to live in, and the remaining empty rooms become public activity areas, such as library, lecture hall, game room, restaurant, etc. (To be continued...)
