"First, we need to ascertain our situation."
Baijiang City entered a state of ergency alert.
Dead Bone had already led a group of elites proficient in 'stealth' from the soul system to scout outside.
Mu Yuan had used reconnaissance Sky Eye dozens of tis and had used the ultra-long-distance Eye of Heaven twice, quickly confirming...
"This is a genuine uncharted territory!"
The reason it's called 'genuine' is that the periphery of the Tai Xuan Alliance where he had been located before is not a true uncharted territory.
During his Greenhand period, he thought he was at the very edge of the Alliance, exploring the perilous wilderness, paving the way into the mysterious unknown, but in fact... the real uncharted territory wouldn't even frequently have third-order monsters.
Thinking more deeply, the Tianyuan Territory was only several hundred kiloters from the frontline town, Shiling Town.
For a third or fourth-order strongman, a few hundred kiloters wasn't much. Clearly, there had been seasoned players relying on Shiling Town as a supply point to venture deep into the wilderness in search of treasures and slaying monsters.
Mu Yuan, during his exploration of the underground space, had once co across a player who had been kidnapped by Dark Night Elves, and found his diary.
Such players were naturally more than just one or two.
However, compared to the vast and boundless wilderness, the number of high-order players was still scarce, and monsters regenerated in waves, almost inexhaustible. Most explorers didn't have the capability to harvest monsters, which made it seem like there was an abundance of them in the wild.
In reality, as long as Tianyuan Territory didn't sweep the surrounding area day and night, after half a month to a month, the regional monsters would proliferate again.
Earlier than the ordinary exploring players, the Pioneers Group's strongn ventured into the wilderness.
"The powerful Lords or high-level players from the Pioneer Group had already delved into the wilderness and struck at so strong Monster powers, so ever since my Tianyuan Territory began its exploration, we've encountered only weak Monster Tribes with third-order Monsters being rare... It's only occasionally that we encounter wandering BOSSes of the third and even fourth order."
Eradicating high-order monsters was the duty of the Pioneers Group's strongn.
Of course, given the limited number and ti of the Pioneers Group's strongn, it was impossible to root out all the monsters hidden in mountains and forests. The main force in actually purging monsters and reducing regional dangers remained the Lords of various lands.
Similarly, as the Elite Pioneers Group eliminated high-order monsters, they also took away so of the more noticeable treasures—such as the high-level recruiting points bursting with splendid light, or the rich ore deposits exposed to the outside. So Great Lords had their own ways of moving entire ore deposits or veins to their own territories.
Or perhaps, so Pioneers sold information about the veins and treasure lands to other powerful Lords in that area.
Mr. Mu hadn't found a single ore deposit to this day, not because he hadn't tried, but because to truly find a rich vein one must venture deep into the wilderness. Not to ntion him, even so Lords from the sa period had only found micro or small ore veins and were rely in possession of an iron or crystal mine. Would he be envious?
(╯°□°)╯︵┻━┻!
This was also one of the reasons Mr. Mu wanted to join the Pioneer Group.
The most powerful Lords of the Tai Xuan Alliance were almost all pioneering.
Of course, to pioneer ant to face real high-order monsters, historical Monster powers, the Fallen God's Servants walking the earth, and so on!
The Snake man Tribe encountered previously in The Land of Two Realms, in the genuine uncharted territory, might not be any kind of overlord. Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed to flee to Lanxing and build their power there.
"Now it looks like I'm being forced to pioneer the area."
"But during exploration, I must be more cautious than before. Luckily, the territory has the Staff of Divine Right, an epic structure, so at least I have a trump card in my hand."
Mu Yuan's trump cards weren't limited to this one, but it's always better to have more trump cards, and he could never have too many.
"Just in case, the territory needs not only offensive Large-scale Magic and defensive Large-scale Magic but also a stealth type of Large-scale Magic."
He had long had an idea about this and could develop a suitable Large-scale Magic based on Sophia's talents and skills, integrating and upgrading it.
However, Sophia was not currently with him.
Before the world fusion, Sophia had led a group of Elites stationed in Baijiang City. It would've been simple for her to return to Tianyuan Territory, but with the crisis at hand, Mu Yuan naturally couldn't call her and the Elites back.
After the completion of the world fusion, Sophia would still need to lead the Elites to assist the Association in defense for a while, and would only leave once Baijiang City had safely landed.
By then, it wouldn't be difficult for Sophia to travel to Shiling Town aboard an armored train, and then return to the territory.
Given Baijiang City's geographical location, it was likely to fall sowhere in the area around Pan Shi City.
Right now, though, Mu Yuan could no longer sense Sophia's exact location or direction, he could only confirm her safety through the panel information.
This ant that the distance between him and Sophia was extrely far. It should be noted that individuals evolved by him had a very close connection with him, their Lord, far surpassing the relationship between 'other Lords and their troops'.
Seventeen, located in Shiling Town, was also out of contact.
Mu Yuan wasn't worried about them. Compared to their situation, the Tianyuan Territory, currently in the wilderness, was at risk of encountering dangers at any mont.
He walked out from inside the Staff of Divine Right and ca to the Lord's Altar.
Here, three Secret Realm Light Gates still spread a faint glow. However, the gates symbolizing the 'Challenge Land' and the 'Elf's Courtyard' were both firmly closed, unable to be opened, preventing entry.
