After giving the NPC Old Shepherd some food and metal as thanks, Yang Rui continued deeper into the continent according to the information provided by the NPC.
Originally, Yang Rui was prepared to take out some gold coins as a reward, but the NPC Old Shepherd seemed to be only interested in metal and weapons. He kept mumbling that he wanted to make some farming tools, which showed that there was a lack of metal in this place.
Yang Rui couldn't figure it out. Why would there be a shortage of metal in the Outer Plane, where all kinds of resources should be abundant? However, it was only a passing thought. Yang Rui was in a hurry to get there, so he didn't think too much about it.
Next, Yang Rui obtained two more NPC civilians nearby. Their statements were very similar to the NPC Old Shepherd's. It was clear that the information obtained by Yang Rui was generally reliable.
Combined with what they said, Yang Rui had a rough understanding of the current level of the outer space. In particular, he had more information about the situation in the nearby regions.
Yang Rui, Gao Shun, Guo Jia, Xu You, Dian Wei, and Yu Jin discussed for a while before choosing the northeast direction and flying Sky Castle.
According to the information provided by the native NPCs, the area directly east of Yang Rui's current position was the area where the NPCs of the three civilizations of this level of the Otherworld gathered. There were also two other NPCs of different civilizations on the northeast and southeast sides.
Considering the impact on the players of the Otherworld Championship, Yang Rui did not choose the area where the NPCs of the three civilizations gathered. Instead, he went straight to the area where the NPCs of the different civilizations gathered. This was also to increase the efficiency of doing quests.
As for the NPCs of the Otherworld, regardless of whether they were from the three civilizations or not, they were all in a hostile state. The efficiency of killing them should be about the same.
However, at the current stage, there should be a lot of local players in the areas where the NPCs of the three civilizations gathered. If he encountered other large player organizations … It was very likely that they would have to greet each other and waste their breath. Moreover, it was very likely that Yang Rui's actions would be restricted.
It was much easier to go to the areas where the NPCs of the three civilizations gathered. Regardless of whether they were native NPCs or foreign players, they were generally in a hostile state. Not only did this increase the number of targets, but they also didn't have to think too much about interpersonal matters. At most, they could just go all out and kill!
However, with Sky City in hand, Yang Rui did not stray too far from the three civilizations' NPC gathering areas. Instead, he moved along the border between the three civilizations' NPC gathering areas and another civilization's NPC gathering area.
The Cross-Country Land was still very vast. After flying for more than an hour in Sky City, Yang Rui and the others were still within its range.
The Off-Road Land was obviously not a good place for NPCs to live. However, the environment wasn't suitable for large numbers of players to settle down in. There were either endless fields of weeds and livestock that didn't interest them, or swamps and forests that were filled with wild beasts. Ordinary NPCs would have a hard time establishing themselves there.
Only a small area was truly suitable for NPCs to live in. For example, the meadow at the outermost edge of the Off-Road Land, where the old Shepherd NPC lived, or the occasional flat area.
As such, Yang Rui didn't encounter many native NPCs along the way. Moreover, most of them were like the old NPC Shepherd. Yang Rui didn't want to kill NPCs that belonged to the three civilizations' NPC gathering areas.
Even when Yang Rui encountered NPCs that didn't belong to the three civilizations' NPC's that appeared in his path, Yang Rui didn't kill them, apart from capturing them a few times to ask for information. The Off-Road Land was a barren place, and the NPCs that lived there were very ordinary. There wasn't much value in killing them.
However, this didn't affect Yang Rui's efficiency at farming monsters. There were very few NPCs in the Off-Road Land. In comparison, there were a lot more native monsters. Moreover, every one of them was very powerful. The experience, points, and items they dropped were all very valuable as long as the environment was suitable. Yang Rui didn't let any of them go.
Sizzle!
Puchi!
Aooo!

Near a large swamp in the Off-Road Land, Yang Rui brought out 20000 of his unique soldiers – the Fifth Grade Scaled Aquatic Soldiers. Together with Gao Shun, Dian Wei, Yu Jin, and the other historical generals, they were slaughtering the crocodiles on the shore.
These crocodiles were generally as powerful as Sixth Grade soldiers. However, as a special soldier, the Fifth Grade Scaled Aquatic Soldiers weren't any weaker than the crocodiles. In addition to the attribute bonuses from Yang Rui's unique soldier, the Scaled Aquatic Soldiers were much more powerful than the crocodiles.
Most importantly, the Scaled Aquatic Soldiers obviously had a strong attribute suppression against these semi-aquatic monsters. The steel harpoons in their hands were made specifically to deal with aquatic monsters. They had sharp spikes and radiated barbs. They only needed to poke and pull to deal with aquatic scaled monsters. It was very effective.
The steel harpoons were also very effective against the crocodiles. The crocodiles' armor was thick and tough, but it couldn't withstand a simple poke and pull from the Scaled Aquatic Soldiers. Under the familiar attacks of the Scaled Aquatic Soldiers, very few crocodiles could withstand more than two hits.
The crocodiles, which were over twenty feet long, were often plowed from head to tail under the attack of the steel harpoons. Their beast-like roars never stopped. Yang Rui's mission points were also increasing rapidly.
What made Yang Rui excited wasn't just the considerable experience points and experience points. The crocodiles in front of him would also drop crystals of various colors. These crystals were all low-grade items, ranging from Ninth Grade to Seventh Grade. Every crocodile would drop at least one to several low-grade crystals.
Some of the Leader level crocodiles would even drop crystals of Sixth Grade and above. According to Guo Jia, crystals of this grade were very suitable for setting up water formations.
As he ventured deeper into the wilderness, Yang Rui also tasted the sweetness of the foreign dimension. Along the way, the crocodiles weren't the only ones that dropped low-grade items. All the other monsters that Yang Rui encountered would also drop similar items.
For example, the Jungle Macaque that they had encountered earlier would drop various grades of wood, the Wasteland Wolf Monster would drop various grades of Leeching Earth, and the Swamp Flamingo would drop various grades of Flaming Feathers, etc. There were all sorts of items and raw materials. From this, it could be seen that the items dropped by the monsters in the Foreign Dimension were abundant!
If not for the fact that Yang Rui's goal wasn't limited to this, the monsters in the wilderness would be worth it for Yang Rui to continue farming. Currently, Yang Rui was only testing the waters with the monsters he encountered along the way.
At this moment, Yang Rui also noticed that although the monsters in the wilderness dropped a lot of items, there seemed to be a lack of metal-related items. Thinking back to the old Shepherd NPC's eagerness towards metals, there seemed to be a problem! (To be continued)
