Ning Chen waited for about half an hour before Fang Xiong appeared in front of Ning Chen covered in the smell of blood.

"Why did you ask me to come back?" Fang Xiong was obviously still very satisfied with the task assigned to him by Ning Chen.

Ning Chen is really lucky now. Fortunately, Marquis Dingguo made some explanations in advance before Fang Xiong came.

If he didn't explain this at all, it would be really difficult for Ning Chen to surrender to a master like Fang Xiong.

"I asked General Fang to come back mainly because I wanted to ask how General Fang was doing with his exploration of the surrounding resources."

Although Fang Xiong enjoyed the killing, he did not forget the mission.

"The mineral and medicinal herb resources here are relatively rich."

"Go out from the North City Gate, about fifty miles to the east, and there is a black copper mine."

"Thirty miles to the west, there is a forest. There are many kinds of medicinal herbs in the forest."

"There are a lot of Yiqi Bamboo, Black Essence Dew, and Blood Cloud Grass."

"Thirty-five miles to the north, it turns out that behind the territory of the Green-faced Bull Demon tribe, there is a vein of purple blood jade."

The task Ning Chen gave Fang Xiong was to explore the resources within a fifty-mile radius.

The resources reported by Fang Xiong are indeed very good.

The hardness of black copper is very high. Adding just a little bit of it to a weapon can more than double its quality.

However, black copper can only be found on the territory of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom.

Therefore, the price of black copper has remained high.

Before Ning Chen opened up trade routes, one tael of black copper would cost about ten taels of silver.

But you must know that black copper is not a rare mineral in the territory of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

And given the situation in the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom, there is simply no way to use that much black copper.

Even now that Ning Chen has opened his business, the price of black copper is still twenty taels of silver.

Purple blood jade is much more valuable than black copper, and of course it is also much more useful.

Only weapons with purple blood jade can withstand the strength of warriors.

Even if business is now open, one tael of purple blood jade would probably cost ten taels of silver.

Generally speaking, a good weapon needs to be infused with at least one kilogram of purple blood jade.

The medicinal materials that Fang Xiong mentioned are all the main materials for refining the Qi Gathering Pill.

Qi Gathering Pill is a common pill for all systems.

The main thing is to get angry.

The refining method is not difficult, and any monk who has just entered the Taoist sect can refine it.

However, the main material of the Qi Gathering Pill grows in large quantities in the borders of the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom.

Although the Thirteen Prefectures of the Wu Dynasty also had output, the amount was too small.

At the same time, the growing environment is also very harsh.

It's too expensive to pick.

Therefore, the main thing is to trade with the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

After hearing Fang Xiong's return on resources, Ning Chen continued to ask: "What is the ownership of these resources, General Fang?"

"They are all ownerless things now." Fang Xiong said directly.

This Ning Chen is not surprising at all.

Given Fang Xiong's character, if Fang Xiong were to investigate, these things would inevitably become ownerless.

But.

Generally, those who guard such resources are just some tribes under the Demon Kingdom.

Even the Demon Kingdom is said to have over ten thousand monsters, let alone these tribes.

How many tribes there are in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, it’s impossible to count them.

It can be said to be as vast as the sea of ​​stars.

Even if it is ownerless today, there will naturally be monsters reoccupying it every day.

The demon kingdom, which rules over the demon tribes, only needs to continue harvesting.

Unless there is a real threat to the interests of their demon kingdom, they are likely to provide some protection to these tribes.

As for normal times, these demon countries don't care about the life and death of these tribes.

Just send them the resources when the time comes.

Just allow them to trade with humans normally in exchange for the food and other resources they need.

Anyway, such a small tribe is really like weeds.

After killing all the stubble, new ones will soon grow.

"General Fang, are these demon kingdoms supporting these tribes?" Ning Chen asked in a different way.

Fang Xiong said: "The Black Copper in the east is controlled by the Ghost Horse Demon Kingdom, the Medicinal Material Canyon in the west is under the control of the Black Tuan Kingdom, and the one in the north that controls the Purple Blood Jade is the Huikui Demon Kingdom you know."

"What is the strength of the three demon kingdoms?" Ning Chen continued to ask.

"The strongest one should be the Black Band Demon Kingdom. There are three third-grade snake demons."

"The next one is Huikui Country, there are two third-grade bull demons, but now there is only one left."

"The Ghost Horse Demon Kingdom is now almost as powerful as the Huikui Kingdom, and it is also a third-grade horse demon."

"None of the three families are strong, if you agree."

"You hand over those two formations of mighty tiger troops to me, and I'll go and destroy those three demon kingdoms."

"In this case, all the resources will belong to you."

Ning Chen interrupted Fang Xiong, who was about to continue his march, and said: "General Fang, we are new here, and the first thing to consider is to be more stable.

With the three demon kingdoms surrounding us now, it is indeed easy to defeat the opposing generals.

But if three of them are destroyed, the vacancy here will be filled by other demon kingdoms immediately.

Keeping them now can also prevent more powerful demon countries from invading."

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Fang Xiong said dissatisfiedly: "You literati are just like Moji. That Lao Shizi's Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters is just an empty frame.

You destroy one and another one comes, just destroy it again.

If you exterminate it, see where it can come from."

Ning Chen carefully thought about the human race's strategy against the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom.

I feel that if this strategy were told to normal people, it would probably be easier for them to accept it.

If it were told to Fang Xiong, it would probably be very difficult to explain.

In fact, the human race still has some advantages over the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom.

During the Shun Emperor period, the human race had an advantage over the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom.

It's just that the main opponent of the human race is not the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters, but the barbarians in the south.

The conflict between the human race and the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom is not about life and death.

After all, we all live under the same holy path.

Moreover, there are many demon tribes following the human race in the four northern states.

In addition, there will be many demon tribes who come to seek refuge every year.

These can all increase the strength of the human race.

If you really want to destroy the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.

If the Wu Dynasty mobilizes a large army, it is not impossible to destroy the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.

But if this happens, it will inevitably give the barbarians in the south an opportunity to take advantage of.

Therefore, the attitude of human dynasties towards the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom has always been to maintain a balance with a slight advantage.

Let the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom be under pressure immediately without causing catastrophe.

I won't give it a go with the human race, and it will be a dead end.

Let them always see a hope of successfully defeating the human race.

As for the human race, they only need to disintegrate and absorb the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom gradually and slowly over time.

This policy has always been implemented very well, that is, after Emperor Shun ascended the throne.

In addition, several powerful demon clans have appeared within the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, and they have united with many demon nations within the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

Under this situation, the human race even lost the commercial town that they had always controlled.
