Chapter 474: Chapter 445: The Correct Way to Transport Timber
Now that Tachiusu is one of us, it’s only natural to discuss so major strategic issues with her.
Da Fei stated seriously, "I’ll soon go check out the upstream space. There’s a demigod Eight-Headed Snake that has been sleeping for a thousand years in the upstream space channel. Its weakness is that its ice head has suffered a heavy injury and is severely impaired. I want to take it down. Do you have any ideas?"
Tachiusu’s face changed dramatically, "My lord, the power of a demigod is beyond imagination. Even with an injury, it’s not a being that can be challenged easily, let alone in such a narrow space channel where there’s no room for maneuver. How will we battle it?"
Da Fei’s heart tightened! Damn it! You just blurted out all of our military’s fatal weaknesses, how can I dare to fight it now? Isn’t this just crushing my confidence and courage.
Da Fei sighed, "There’s no choice. It’s blocking the critical transportation route to the upstream, and it keeps stealing nutrients from the World Tree. Sooner or later, we’ll have to fight it."
Tachiusu frowned and said, "It indeed poses a severe problem. The only units we can deploy right now are your Evil Branch Fortress. With the size and Blood Defense of the Evil Branch Fortress, it could serve as a at shield, but we still need a substantial number of troops to assist. In any case, we must wait until the Evil Branch Fortress fully integrates and recovers before proceeding."
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched. That’s right! Evil Branch Fortress! Great minds think alike indeed! That was my initial thought too – as a building unit, it should not be affected by the Eight-Headed Snake’s percentage-based poison domain, making it the most suitable at shield.
Da Fei was overjoyed, "How is the condition of the Evil Branch Fortress now?"
Tachiusu laughed and sighed, "My lord, it’s still too early. It doesn’t even have consciousness right now, and it’s simply impossible without several months’ ti."
Da Fei gave a wry smile, "Several months? That’s too long..."
Tachiusu shook her head and sighed, "For a Tree Spirit, life is often asured in centuries. A few months is actually very fast. My lord, please be patient and take this ti to accumulate forces."
Da Fei let out a long sigh, "Every day it blocks the passage, I cannot transport a single day’s worth of timber from the upstream space, and my giant ship research project can’t make any progress—Alright, I’m going to the upstream space now to see if I can sneak through its passage and bring back so timber samples. During my absence, continue to develop, and I will co to see you when I have ti. If you are short of any supplies, I’ll find a way to transport them to you."
Players can carry 10 units of resources on them, so bringing back so research samples is not a problem. Da Fei started to regret not having thought of this before. Of course, the premise is being able to sneak through. Although I’ve now beco a more covert sentinel, this ti it’s not like the last ti; this ti it’s floating from downstream to upstream—Damn it, floating, my ass! It has to be swimming! Swimming could lead to trouble! Do I really have to use the Divine Artifact branch given by the Habbit Village Chief? Damn, it feels too wasteful to use a Divine Artifact just to get a few samples?
Just then, Tachiusu asked doubtfully, "My lord, are you saying you want to transport timber out?"
Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped, "Do you have a way?" Damn! You aren’t suggesting to air transport over its head with the Vine Demon, are you? That’s suicide! Even if you’re willing, I’m still firmly against it. The Eight-Headed Snake isn’t just for lee combat, it can spew poison and shoot projectiles!
Tachiusu shook her head and smiled, "Does my lord know how timber is transported from the mountain logging camps in the Elf Kingdom?"
Da Fei asked in surprise, "How is it transported?"
Tachiusu smiled and said, "Of course, it’s by cutting down the trees and then pushing them into the river. The downstream collection stations simply collect the timber—that’s it!"
Straight into the river!
In that instant, it was as if a lighthouse of wisdom lit up amid the dark foggy sea, as if a window of sunlight had opened in a pitch-black room!
In that mont, Da Fei ca to a sudden realization! Can things floating on water pass through the Vortex Gate? Of course! Why was the grand voyage to explore the New World space gate undertaken? Because a floating bottle from the Old World drifted to the pioneer port in the New World!
I see! Transporting timber is one thing, slaying a demigod is another; they’re two separate issues and shouldn’t be conflated! But—
Da Fei hurriedly asked, "If we directly push timber down, wouldn’t that alarm the Eight-Headed Snake?"
Tachiusu chuckled, spreading her hands!
Da Fei burst into laughter! That’s right, if it gets alerted, so be it. What can I do about it? Surely a quest monster can’t burst out of its instance and charge at us from the space channel, right?!
Da Fei was excited, "Great, I’m setting off now. If I succeed—"
Tachiusu smiled, "We’ll be collecting timber downstream!"
Exactly! That’s the proper way to transport timber—let all the timber from upstream float down, then stockpile it here, and then I’ll teleport my Flying over! Yes, the mayor said after I successfully returned from the Abyss Blood Pool that the Elorin Magic Guild would open to , and the Magic Crystal materials needed for the Flying’s teleportation, as well as the Magic Sail, can be sold to ! This is the reward for completing the Epic Quest, after all!
However, the expense of these Magic Crystal materials is certainly not sothing the average player can afford. This timber transport will quite deservedly be known as the most luxurious transport in history! But that’s okay because for the sake of the giant ship, it’s all worth it. Even if these timbers can’t be used to build a giant ship, their intrinsic value alone makes them worth transporting out to either sell or use. Especially that vast expanse of rcury Wood Forest—every day I can’t transport it out, I get distressed just thinking about it!
So the next big issue is waiting for the Fusion with the Holy Vine to complete on the Flying. Gardener Tamilia has said that once the Fusion is complete, the Holy Vine will naturally co with its own Holy Vine Space, which is like giving the Flying an extra cargo hold. As long as the space is big enough, maybe enough timber for an experint could be transported in one go!
Haha, wahahaha! That’s exactly what we’ll do!
When all of my hardware conditions are t, the solution to the problem is actually this simple! My awesoness cos from the accumulation of awesoness over ti! Is there anything left I can’t accomplish? The only thing I’m not sure about now is sneaking over to contact Habbit Village, right?
Alright, even grand strategies must be executed step by step. If I can’t even take this first step, there’s no point in talking about anything else. But it’s okay, this operation is extraordinarily significant and is worth using a Divine Artifact branch for!
Now, the Vine Demons have airlifted Da Fei to the upstream Vortex Gate.
Tachiusu cautioned, "My lord, please be careful. We will build so leaf boats specifically for salvaging timber during this ti!"
Da Fei nodded, "I’ll leave it to you then!"
Da Fei took a deep breath and quietly slipped into the water. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to vote for it at QiDian (qidian). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
