Chapter 59- Guardian Temple
The brief halt ended in a blink of an eye, allowing the Blackwater Crocodileâs giant tail to resumed its course toward Cheng Yang. Seeing the tail come his way, Cheng Yang used his Spirit Bone Staff to violently slammed onto the incoming giant tail. With the force of the rebound, Cheng Yang once again rise one meter high into the air, letting him narrowly evade the Blackwater Crocodile leaderâs attack.
Cheng Yang fell heavily to the ground three meters away. Just now, the Spirit Bone Staff and the Blackwater Crocodileâs tail had made a direct contact; the huge rebound not only launched him away, but it also let his arm burst in aching pain. On physical strength, four Cheng Yang together canât match the strength of this Blackwater Crocodileâs leader. Just that short confrontation has let him eat some hidden loss.
Fortunately, heâs finally out of the encirclement ring. Now the initiative finally returned to Cheng Yangâs hands.
Cheng Yang couldnât help but show a bit of a sneer on his lip. At once, he shot an Ice Puck to the head of the Blackwater Crocodileâs leader that had just attack him. Â
The Blackwater Crocodileâs leader naturally donât have the ability to escape from Cheng Yangâs attack. The Ice Puck landed on itâs forehead, immediately causing it to send out an excruciating scream filled with pain.
The ordinary Blackwater Crocodiles in the surrounding hasnât been idling around either, as they flocked their way toward Cheng Yang. Looking down from the sky, dense mass of tiny dots can be seen covering the ground, even a space for a foothold canât be found.
Cheng Yang didnât dare compete with these enchanted beast in strength. Once again he drew back, while at the same time shot an Ice Puck at the Blackwater Crocodileâs leader. The Ice Puck seemed to only annoyed the Blackwater Crocodileâs leader more, as it continued to angrily rushed over to Cheng Yang.
At this same time, the other Blackwater Crocodileâs leader has also recovered from its frozen state, following his companion on itâs quest to swallowed Cheng Yang into its belly. Â
Cheng Yang sneer at their actions. The moment these guys failed to surrounded him has set them on a path to a tragic end. Again an Ice Puck flew out, once more hitting the Blackwater Crocodileâs leader 10 meters away from his location. This Blackwater Crocodileâs leader finally let out its dying cries, as it slowly collapse down to the ground.
He have to say, this Blackwater Crocodileâs skin is really hard and tough. Normally, when facing a common first late-order enchanted beast, Cheng Yang only needs three Ice Pucks to kill it, but this guy in front of him actually need four to finally died.
Next, Cheng Yang switch his target to the second Blackwater Crocodileâs leader. In spite of the fact that the group of Blackwater Crocodiles is now four hundred to five hundred feets away from Cheng Yang, but with the exception of the Blackwater Crocodileâs leader, the rest of these enchanted beast donât even have half of Cheng Yangâs speed, so Cheng Yang isnât too worried.
This Blackwater Crocodileâs leader took the lead in rushing at him. In less than a few seconds, it followed its companionâs footsteps.
Cheng Yang canât wait to kill the rest of the enchanted beasts, but first he must find a safe place for him to release Ice Thorn.
Of course, Cheng Yang has thought of calling out Liu Hao and the others. However, if he doesnât use Redirection, the role they are able to play wonât be big, and if he does use Redirection, their defense canât support the Blackwater Crocodileâs attacks for a long period of time. So after a brief thought, he decided to give up the idea.
Cheng Yang retreated at a constant speed, while looking for the right place.
It didnât take long, he really did found a wonderful hiding place. Before the apocalypse, this should be a gentle slope, but perhaps due to the earthquake, it turned into a cross section, making the top layer 3-4 meters higher than the bottom. As long as Cheng Yang keep his back to the cross section, heâll only need to worry about the Blackwater Crocodiles in front.
As long as Cheng Yang isnât in a siege with a first medium-order or higher Blackwater Crocodile, even if the number is more he has no fear. As for the first late-order, now they been killed by Cheng Yang, so there is no need to worry.
At this time, the Blackwater Crocodile in the passageway has massacre all of the Green Anorak, and began to drilled out from the inside. Relatively speaking, the Blackwater Crocodileâs fighting strength is slightly stronger than the Green Anorak, and added to the great disparity in quantity between the two side, these Green Anorak desperate counter-attacks also failed to give the Blackwater Crocodile too much of a trouble.
Cheng Yang rushed full speed toward the cross section. Feeling Mother Earth against his back, Cheng Yang felt his heart gained a lot of stability.
âIce puck ⌠âŚâ Cheng Yangâs shout attracted the Blackwater Crocodiles group to rushed to this side. His goal is simple, that is to make the group of Blackwater Crocodile crowd together as much as possible. His Ice Thorn skill has no volume restriction, which means as long as itâs within this range, they will be attacked.
10 seconds later, the Blackwater Crocodile group rushed to Cheng Yangâs side. The scattered enchanted beasts had been killed off by his Ice Puck, so the only thing remaining are the dense mass of Blackwater Crocodile coming his way.
Cheng Yang didnât show any modesty, as he hard carried the Blackwater Crocodileâs attack, while simultaneously spammed his Ice Thorn skill. Looking at his power value continuously increased, Cheng Yang is very pleased.
The group of Blackwater Crocodile also has a certain number of first medium-order monster, but because Cheng Yang doesnât need to take into account all sides, whenever he see a big fellow, he can find them at first sight. Then, he would focus his attention on them. They simply donât have the opportunity to rush to Cheng Yangâs side, before being killed by him.
After a few minutes, Cheng Yang have already killed off most of the Blackwater Crocodile, leaving only some sporadic existence remaining.
At this time, Liu Hao and the others suddenly came out from a pile of rubble on the left side. With a war cry coming out of their mouth, they rushed toward the scattered enchanted beast. In a short period of time, all Blackwater Crocodile were eliminated.
âBet you were specifically looking for an opportunity to win the fruits of victory, right? âCheng Yang snappily gave them a dirty look, as he laughingly ridicule them.
Liu Hao laughed and said: âLord, do we dare rob the fruits of your victory? As a matter of fact, after watching you fight so hard, we canât help but want to come out and assist! Furthermore, with your net worth and killing efficiency, this power value shouldnât mean much, am I right? â
Cheng Yang isnât really blaming them, he smiled and said: âYou and your sly tongue. Did you follow my instruction to get the item the group of Blackwater Crocodile was guarding? Â
Liu Hao said: âNo, just now we saw many crocodiles besiege you so we fear ⌠⌠hehe(laugh), you know, therefore we decided to wait nearby. â
Cheng Yangâs heart was suffused with warmth. Although he knows the strength of Liu Hao and the others wonât be much of a help if he encountered danger; however, this feeling of concern, still made him very happy. After the apocalypse happened, the relationship between people was more or less filled with intrigue and distrust. People that can truly care for others are rare.
âOk, letâs go have a look in the end what the hell these guys were guarding. âCheng Yang said with a calm smile shown on his face.
Next, the team under the leadership of Cheng Yang, quickly went through a team battle in the direction of the passageway. Afterward, they arrived at the Blackwater Crocodileâs gathering place.
On the ground, laid a scroll-shaped item. This time is unlike the past, Cheng Yang has twice received this type of scroll-like item, but they were both skill scrolls. However, this time, Cheng Yang is certain it isnât a skill scroll, but his long awaited territorial architectural drawing.
Putting aside the altar stone and the instancesâ first clearance, this thing in front of him is one of the most precious items in Xiangcheng city.
Guardian Temple architectural drawing: The drawing record the method to construct the Guardian Temple. After being sacrifice to the altar, the territory will be allowed the permission to build the Guardian temple. (Guardian Temple: Special building, in the temple Lord can recruit territory guards. The strength of the territory guard is associated with the Lordâs strength, while the quantity is associated to the territory level.)
In his last life, the Guardian Temple was obtained by another Xiangcheng cityâs station owner. However, for the general role of the Guardian Temple, Cheng Yang more or less has some knowledge.
The highest order the territory guards can be is lower than the Lord by a minor order. Their number isnât much, a level 1 village only give permission to recruit 10, and every time the village upgrade a level, the number increased by 10. As for the amount of territory guard that can be recruited after the territory is upgraded to town, Cheng Yang has no clue.
Donât underestimate the role of territory guards. These people are equivalent to the NPC(Â Non-player character) in the game world, completely taking orders from only the Lord himself. So as long as there is a strong army of territory guard, the statue of the Lord will be very firm.
You must know that in accordance with the present rules, the Lord is the most powerful person within the territory, while the strength of the territory guard is only lower than the Lord by a minor order. Then, can you imagine how powerful an army of territorial guard will be?
When the Guardian Temple is built, Luo Feng village will be able to recruit 20 first medium-order territory guards, who would wound up to be Cheng Yangâs most loyal subordinates.
However, the territorial guards is also subject to restriction, one of its biggest restriction is the inability to leave the scope of the territory. In other words, the territory guards can only defend, and canât attack. Regarding this point, Cheng Yang also inferred from the performance of the previous apocalypseâs station owner, because the other side has never brought the territory guards out of the station.
âWhat is this thing? What is the skill called? âLiu Hao on the sideline see Cheng Yang picked up the scroll, instantly became excited. He thought it was skill scroll, because yesterday he obtained a scroll, similar to its appearance.
Cheng Yang said: âThis isnât a skill scroll, but an architectural drawing. Later, when Luo Feng village secure a foothold in the world, this scroll will play a very vital role. â
âSo fierce? âLiu Hao asked with a look of disbelief.
Cheng Yang immediately explains the role of the item to Liu Hao, which immediately left his mouth gaping.
After a long time, Liu Hao with a wry smile, said: âLord, arenât these guards too powerful? Directly having the strength of a minor order lower than your, while we still need to exhaust our effort into cultivation, which is completely unfair. â
Cheng Yang said: âAre you willing to stay all your life in the territory and not go out? â
âThis ⌠⌠You know what, forget it. âLiu Hao embarrassingly smile, for this benefit he readily declined. Letting him stay a lifetime in Luo Feng village? You might as well kill him.
Cheng Yang wasnât concern and showed a slight smile pasted on his face, and then he took the Guardian Temple architectural drawing into his arms.
Today, the main task has been completed, with the time now being is close to two oâclock in the afternoon. Cheng Yang and the others then set out again to search a few rescue points. With the success of a professionâs family rescued, they went home. Â
After returning to Luo Feng village, the sky was completely dark.
In this trip, Cheng Yang and the others has saved nearly 3,000 people. Compared with the past few days, the amount has decreased, but it was enough to make Cheng Yang happy.
At this moment, Cheng Yang didnât have enough time to inquires Yu Kai and others about todayâs harvest, because heâs eager conjure up the territory guard.
