He could no longer remember how many fierce beasts he had hunted during the day.
He only knew.
Wang Tiezhu and the hunting team's long spears hardly ever stopped.
As of now, the supplies that have been transported back.
There were a full seventy thousand catties of beast meat.
If it weren't for the wild beasts plundering a lot of food, Lin Yi conservatively estimated that this hunt would yield at least one hundred thousand catties of meat.
“However… constantly hunting fierce beasts isn’t a solution.”
“The variety of food is still somewhat scarce.”
“It’s time to utilize the Farmland Blueprint.”
Lin Yi pondered for a moment, and after repaying Hao Xingren’s 18,000 catties of meat debt.
He also additionally gifted 3,000 catties.
The rest was all listed on the exchange.
In less than a minute.
It was snatched up by the lords who complained while making their move.
3,100 purple crystal coins were added to his account, plus the 1,000 purple crystal coins rewarded for the territory's level increase, finally making his wallet full again.
“With money in your pocket, you can stand tall.”
Lin Yi looked at his wealth balance, feeling a strange sense of security.
“My Lord…”
Xiang Yi suddenly appeared at the appropriate moment, looking at Lin Yi quite seriously, “Can I report the accounts now?”
“Cough cough…”
“This Lord keeps his word.”
Lin Yi touched his nose and withdrew over 1,000 purple crystal coins from the treasury.
“Thank you…”
Xiang Yi smiled brightly, ready to take the bag.
Lin Yi suddenly withdrew his hand, glancing at the beautiful general in front of him with some anticipation, and tentatively asked, “But… you said before that you could…”
“My Lord is joking…”
Xiang Yi’s pale cheeks suddenly flushed crimson, and she snatched the bag full of purple crystal coins from Lin Yi’s hand with lightning speed.
“This subordinate said nothing.”
Lin Yi: …
Damn it.
If only he had agreed immediately then.
The rabbit he had in hand flew away!
Jokes aside.
Afterward, Lin Yi reined in his teasing and instructed, “Xiang Yi, I’ll give you 100 Scarlet Tassel Spearmen. Do you have confidence in taking down the Jackalweres tribe?”
Xiang Yi’s beautiful eyes flashed when she heard there was another fight, “Just leave it to your concubine.”
On the way back.
She had already communicated with Wang Qianqian.
As for a group of Jackalweres below level 20, let alone leading an army.
Even if she went alone, she could kill her way in and out seven times.
“Good.” Lin Yi nodded, “Then you lead the troops out tonight and complete the mission before dawn.”
“Yes, My Lord.”
Xiang Yi gently thumped her left fist against her breastplate, bowed, and then turned to leave the mansion.
Not long after.
She led Wang Qianqian, Wang Tiezhu, and a group of Scarlet Tassel Spearmen out of the territory.
Outside the mansion.
Lin Yi stood with his hands behind his back, “Ailina.”
“My Lord.”
“Do you need to place the Cleansing Pool now?”
Ailina, with her face full of sanctity, looked up and asked.
In the dark night.
Every feather of the Half-Angel radiated a soft glow, swaying with the wind.
The silver moonlight spilled onto her translucent veil.
Lin Yi found himself somewhat entranced.
Hmm…
Sacred and inviolable…
“My Lord…”
Feeling Lin Yi’s gaze, Ailina’s cheeks flushed slightly.
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Lin Yi snapped back to reality, acting as if nothing had happened, and pointed to an empty space next to the tavern.
“Put it there.”
“Yes!”
Ailina gently raised her index finger.
A rich surge of light energy ascended from within her body.
In an instant.
On those wings, countless feathers seemed to ignite like flames.
Buzzing—
A incandescent point of light blossomed from Ailina’s index finger!
The dazzling light pierced through the darkness, instantly illuminating the entire territory.
The other warriors still guarding the territory looked up at this sight.
The insects lurking in the branches and bushes simultaneously ceased their chirping.
Whoosh—
The light point struggled to leap out.
In the blink of an eye, it reached above the empty space, condensing into a circular pool with a radius of about three meters.
The entire pool was enveloped in white light.
Its true appearance was not yet clear.
However.
When Lin Yi saw the mysterious angel statue with eighteen wings on its back in the center of the pool, he knew that things were not simple!
“My Lord.”
After Ailina finished all this, she seemed to be completely exhausted, drenched in sweat.
Panting, she said, “3… three days later, the Cleansing Pool will be fully formed.”
“Sorry… with my current strength, this is the limit of what I can do.”
The nun in front of him was full of apologies.
Lin Yi was about to comfort her, but as he looked up, before he could speak.
“Gulp…”
He swallowed hard, his throat dry, and said, “It’s okay… go take a bath in the mansion and get some rest early.”
“Okay… okay…” Ailina nodded, her face pale.
“Oh, right.”
Lin Yi saw her turn to leave and reminded her again, “I asked Qiu’er to tailor two outfits for you, which will also make it easier for you to interact with others.”
“You can discuss it beforehand.”
“It’s not good to always block yourself with light like this.”
“Uh…”
Hearing this, Ailina subconsciously looked at her soaked clothes.
Recalling her Lord’s gaze from just now.
In an instant.
Her eyes misted over, and she brought her pale thighs together, walking tremblingly towards the mansion.
“Sigh…”
Lin Yi took a deep breath.
What a sin!
… … … …
“Almost there.”
“Lord Hogg, are you really confident in reclaiming your kin? Do you not need me to return to the territory and bring some people?”
“If you dare to question my ability again, I’ll twist your head off and shove it up your ass!”
“I wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare!”
“…”
A strong Jackalweres Hero walked in front, casually picking up a handful of dirt from the ground.
He sniffed it, frowned, “The smell of fierce beast blood, and the smell of humans!”
“There are many of them.”
Behind him, there was also a man in light armor and more than ten strong warriors holding short axes.
“Humans?”
Liu Yi was greatly surprised by the news, “Lord Hogg, you said that there are a large number of poisonous insects and fierce beasts nearby.”
“If one is not strong enough, what is the difference between entering this area and seeking death?”
Hogg ignored him, stuck out his saliva-covered tongue, licked the tip of his nose, and continued deeper into the dense forest.
Only, compared to before.
His movements were noticeably much more cautious.
“Putting on airs…”
Liu Yi, who was following behind, cursed in his heart.
If it weren’t for the Epic Hero title, he was just a newly joined Jackalweres.
How could he be qualified to be compared with an elder like him?
“Heh heh.”
Suddenly.
Hogg in front turned his head and grinned, “Found them!”
Saying that.
He extended his sharp claws and climbed up the nearby tree canopy at an extremely fast speed.
The Jackalweres’ night vision allowed him to barely make out some of the scene.
About 500 meters ahead.
A group of heavily armed Jackalweres looked serious, tightly gripping their blood-stained weapons.
Dozens of dismembered fierce beasts lay scattered at their feet.
The unusual thing was.
According to Jackalweres habits, they would have already moved this fresh flesh and blood back to their nest for storage.
But this group of Jackalweres remained unmoved, firmly guarding the camp behind them.
Hogg licked the fur around his mouth, squinting his eyes as he probed deeper.
He couldn't see very clearly.
But for Hogg, it was enough.
He saw.
What that group of Jackalweres was protecting behind them was indeed a green tent covered with barbs and hung with beast bones.
Jackalweres kept coming out of the tent, and each time they came out, they would carry out fresh beast carcasses, large and small.
There were even pieces of wood far exceeding the length of the tent, which they carried out in a bizarre manner.
“What are they doing?” Liu Yi, who had followed him up the tree, was full of confusion.
To put it bluntly.
He was merely a normal human with a bit of intelligence; he hadn't received higher education.
Daring to cross the jungle at night with Hogg was already considered a rare talent.
“Shut up!”
Hogg glared fiercely at Liu Yi, then, after carefully observing the camp, he suddenly grinned.
“Heh heh.”
“The God of Fate favors me.”
“To think I could still stumble upon such a bargain.”
