15: Free-from-battle card

A piercing sound of something tearing through the air came from the distance, and three thin black streaks shot rapidly towards them.

Upon closer inspection, they were three sharp arrows.

The Death Warriors, holding their long spears, stepped forward to deflect them, forming a protective circle around Yang Qianhun.

"By my calculations, they should have arrived by now."

Yang Qianhun remained calm, gazing forward as he murmured to himself.

The next second, sounds of fighting and screams echoed from afar.

Ah...

Crack...

Before long, silence returned to the distant area.

Wu Song and Gao Shun walked side-by-side from the distance towards Yang Qianhun.

Wu Song was dragging a person with his right hand, as if he were dragging a dead dog.

"Reporting to the Lord, one was captured alive, and all twenty of the other archers were slain."

Gao Shun came before Yang Qianhun, cupped his fists, and reported.

Meanwhile, the Death Warriors had already brought forward the person Wu Song had been dragging.

"Why were you ambushing me here?"

Yang Qianhun's eyes were as calm as water as he asked faintly.

"I... I... I didn't do it on purpose! I thought you were an enemy, that's why I ordered the arrows to be fired! I didn't mean to! Please, spare me, I'll never dare to do it again!"

The person in front of him didn't seem to have any injuries. He looked up at Yang Qianhun, his face filled with panic, and stammered out his words.

It turned out that from the very beginning, Yang Qianhun had already seen twenty-one people ambushing in the trees several hundred meters away through his Divine Eye.

Everyone's information appeared in his eyes.

So he had Wu Song and Gao Shun circle around from both sides, waiting for an opportunity to ambush. They only needed to capture the Lord alive, and all others were to be slain.

"Remember, lying is useless in front of me. My talent is to identify lies."

Yang Qianhun gave a look to a Death Warrior beside him.

"Ah!"

The person screamed, his entire right arm was directly twisted off by the Death Warrior.

His face was filled with unbearable pain, snot and tears streaming down.

Enduring the intense pain, he quickly said, "Don't... don't! I'll tell you! It's because I felt that gathering resources was too difficult, too slow, and too risky. It was better to wait for a rabbit by a tree stump, ambushing passing Lords or beasts, as that yielded greater returns."

[Name: Kudo Kenichi]

[Status: Pain, Fear, Afraid of Death]

[Planet: Blue Star]

[Race: Human Race]

"Hmm, good, teachable. Next question, do you have any other companions?"

Yang Qianhun continued to ask.

"No, no more! Because at first, a human attacked me, and I counter-killed him. Then I obtained all his supplies, so I don't trust anyone. I just hid in the trees with the archers to ambush others."

Kudo Kenichi quickly said, afraid that if he was a step too late, his arm would be twisted again.

That taste was not good, the pain was unbearable.

"Then there's no use keeping you."

Yang Qianhun said calmly.

Before Kudo Kenichi could react, his entire head had already performed a 360-degree rotation.

It was twisted off by the Death Warrior.

He fell to the ground, his eyes wide in death, and his treasures appeared one by one on his body.

"Another treasure I haven't seen before, a Battle-Exemption Token?"

Yang Qianhun looked at the black token in his hand with interest; a golden character for "Exemption" was engraved on it.

[Name: Battle-Exemption Token]

[Type: Item]

[Effect: Protects everything within the territory from attack, lasts for 5 hours]

[Description: Inject spiritual power to activate the Battle-Exemption Token. It enters battle-exemption status after fifteen minutes. If the Battle-Exemption Token is attacked during this period, the battle exemption fails, but it does not enter cooldown. After successfully entering battle-exemption status, the cooldown is 30 days (Note: During battle exemption, you cannot enter or exit, and cannot attack any targets outside the territory)]

One could only say that having it was better than not having it; there was no such thing as too many treasures.

He then put the Battle-Exemption Token into his spatial package and continued to examine the other items.

"A cannon tower? And it's an area-of-effect attack type. How many Lords did this guy plunder? This is good stuff, he probably didn't even have time to go back and build it."

Yang Qianhun was overjoyed when he saw the cannon tower's information and analyzed it to himself.

[Name: cannon tower]

[Quality: Rare grade]

[Level: One (Upgradeable)]

[Type: Tower Defense]

[Effect: Fires one shot per second, attack range 100 meters, explosion radius 10 meters]

[Description: The cannon tower automatically upgrades as it kills enemies. Attack, defense, durability, firing speed, etc., will increase with level (Construction Cost: One turret blueprint, 100 spirit stones, 100 iron ore, 100 wood, 100 stone)]

He then placed the turret blueprint into his spatial package and continued to inventory the remaining items.

The remaining items were as follows:

40 pieces of iron ore

30 portions of food

50 pieces of wood

50 pieces of stone

21 spirit stones

The harvest was quite bountiful, and Yang Qianhun was very satisfied as he put them into his spatial package.

This feeling of looting was truly refreshing, even better than the chicken dinner experience.

After all, that was just a game experience, but this was a real, on-site experience.

People were truly killed, and items were truly picked up.

And with the resources just collected by the Farmers, it was just enough to upgrade the house to Level 3.

His current resources were as follows:

[Resources: 180 iron ore, 180 food, 100 wood, 100 stone]

To upgrade the house from Level 2 to Level 3,

It required 100 pieces of wood and 100 pieces of stone.

With a thought, Yang Qianhun upgraded the house.

100 pieces of wood and 100 pieces of stone directly disappeared from his spatial package.

The wood and stone once again returned to zero.

At the same time.

At Yang Qianhun's house, a ray of light descended from the sky, directly enveloping the house.

Once the light dissipated, the original Level 2 house had directly upgraded to Level 3.

The house was twice as large as before.

The recruitment limit for Farmers increased from ten to twenty.

With a thought, Yang Qianhun recruited ten more Farmers, just reaching the maximum of twenty.

At the same time, 50 portions of food were consumed.

In front of Yang Qianhun's wooden house, ten flashes of white light appeared consecutively.

When the light faded, ten Farmers appeared in front of the wooden house.

With a thought, he directly assigned their work.

Iron: 2 people

wood: 8 people

food: 2 people

stone: 8 people

After all, early-stage wooden house upgrades were crucial; the faster the upgrade, the more rewards could be obtained.

Of course, the territory's scope could also become wider, allowing for the construction of more buildings.

After the assignments were completed, Yang Qianhun once again led everyone towards the territory.

Along the way, they successively encountered 20 Brutal Tooth Rabbits and 20 Black Tooth Rats.

Under the blessing of the God of Fortune.

The following items were dropped:

10 pieces of iron ore

50 portions of food

20 pieces of wood

20 pieces of stone

30 spirit stones

[Note: The God of Fortune can make the Lord's drop rate reach 100%, while other Lords, if lucky, might get three to five light clusters from killing ten fierce beasts. If unlucky, they might not get even one, as there is no guaranteed drop in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.]

"The spirit stones have finally reached 100 pieces, I can refresh the heavenly dao roulette now."

Yang Qianhun couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Before the first territory defense battle, increasing strength as much as possible was the best way to deal with danger.

Finally, after walking for more than ten minutes, Yang Qianhun and the others arrived at the territory.

Twenty Farmers were diligently working, while the twenty Death Warriors who stayed behind were also faithfully performing their duties, protecting them and patrolling the surroundings.

With a thought, Yang Qianhun summoned the virtual panel and clicked on the Barracks.
