The Divinity Card was not very attractive to him at the moment. The main thing was that half of the Divine Territory was attractive to him. Although Li Wenze's Divine Territory was far from his, it was still quite big. Tearing off half of it could create a new Divine Territory that was not inferior to the Six Great Subsidiary Divine Territories.
In addition, the more the better, an Ancient Card, and the army barracks and treasures mentioned earlier, all added up together, it was worth the risk.
.....
When he received the message that someone had challenged him, Hua Zhang was stunned for a moment. Then, his face turned serious.
To dare to challenge him at this moment, he was either crazy or confident.
The possibility of him being crazy was close to zero. Then …
When he pulled his consciousness back from the Divine Territory, he saw a familiar hero challenging him.
When he saw the huge elite army behind the challenger, including Level 140 swordsmen, he knew that this was a Level 2 hero. A Level 1 hero would not have so many troops.
Hua Zhang pondered for a moment and quickly sent a message to another teammate.
A few seconds later, Lin Xiao received a message from Hua Zhang.
"Brother, we'll give you 100,000 gold coins, two spearmen barracks, and two Level 1 treasures. How about you stay out of this?"
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up.
"I'll add another 100,000 gold coins!"
"Deal!"
Hua Zhang agreed immediately. Soon, a contract was sent over. Lin Xiao saw that there was nothing wrong with it and quickly signed it. 200,000 gold coins, two spearmen barracks, and two Level 1 treasures appeared in his hands the moment the contract was signed. Then, he ignored Li Wenze's angry scolding and unwilling roars and turned his horse around to leave.
If he could get benefits without doing anything, why should he risk his life?
Fortunately, he had not signed a contract with Li Wenze, otherwise …
"Wait."
Lin Xiao suddenly realized this.
He did not know if Li Wenze had lost his composure and did not notice it, or …
As long as there was no contract, the other party could go back on his word.
When he thought of this, the little guilt in Lin Xiao's heart disappeared and he ran even faster.
In the Myriad Elephant Temple, the huge Chaotic Fireball continued to burn as if it had existed since time immemorial.
Six tomb keepers, who were shrouded in divine light, sat quietly around the Chaos Fireball. Inside the unimaginably huge Wanxiang Temple, there were many powerful figures or wills sitting or hiding. They cast their gazes on the light screens in front of the six tomb keepers, quietly watching the different performances of the contestants in the Wanxiang Ruins.
Suddenly, one of the tomb keepers stretched out his finger and pointed lightly. A circle of clear light spread out and turned into a new light screen. Ripples spread out in all directions, and a new figure slowly appeared on the light screen. It was Lin Xiao who had just left the ruins after obtaining the treasure.
When the figure solidified, Jin Sisi, who was sitting on a dark golden throne and resting with her hand on her forehead, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the void. After a while, a smile appeared on her beautiful face that was full of heroic spirit.
In another part of the void, Xia Yu also pulled his face out of the ball of softness the moment the figure solidified. He looked up at a certain spot in the void for a long time and chuckled.
"Not bad!"
As he spoke, he continued to bury his head in the wide chest of the pretty maid and continued to enjoy.
At this time, Lin Xiao, who had just left the Undead Ruins, did not know that he had attracted the attention of some existences. After leaving the ruins, he did not return to the Strength Castle. Instead, he followed the main road and went south.
It was not good to stay in Glory City. His actions just now were like looting a burning house. When Hua Zhang was free, he would not have a good time. In addition, he had risen to Level 2 and could barely pose a threat to these Level 1 players. No matter how one looked at it, they had a reason to suppress him. It was not good to stay here and develop, so it was better to go out and develop.
Now that his hero level had risen to Level 2, his strength was many times stronger than before. He could explore more dangerous areas.
In this world, the better the treasure, the further away it was from the main cities of the major factions. If one wanted to obtain high level troop camps and treasures, they could only go to dangerous places.
This was also why only Level 1 and Level 2 heroes could be seen near the Holy Pass. It was very rare to see Level 3 and above heroes. Even near Strength City, which was at war with Barbaric City, there were very few Level 3 heroes from both factions. This was because they were all out exploring.
On the way, Lin Xiao checked the items on hand. First, he spent 50,000 gold and 100 units of wood and ore to upgrade the Level 4 Swordsman Battalion from Level 1 to Level 2.
After upgrading, he immediately spent another 80,000 gold and 200 units of wood and ore to upgrade the Swordsman Battalion to Level 3. It could produce 30 soldiers per week.
After that, he spent 100,000 gold and 300 units of wood and ore to upgrade the Gryphon Archer Battalion to Level 4. A Level 4 Gryphon Archer Battalion could produce 100 soldiers per week.
After that, the next upgrade required 300,000 gold and 500 units of wood and ore, which was not enough.
Half a day later, Lin Xiao stopped at a crossroad between the Holy Church and the Swamp Faction. According to the map, the north was the Holy Church's Glory City, the south was the Swamp Faction, and the west was an unknown canyon. The map he bought from the Holy Pass showed that it was called Black Fog Valley.
A few kilometers to the east, he would reach the sea. There was a neutral port city there, and he could buy a large warship there to bring his troops into the sea.
Regardless of whether it was Black Fog Valley or the sea, they were both extremely dangerous places. Black Fog Valley was located between many factions, and the map indicated that it was very difficult. One could encounter any Tier 2 hero of any faction, including Hell, Undead, and other evil factions. One could also encounter elemental and other neutral factions.
The sea in the east was called the Sea of Tranquility, and it was an inland sea similar to the Bohai Sea. After leaving the Sea of Tranquility, one would enter the Boundless Ocean, which was already far away from the main cities of the various factions. The danger level was not indicated on the map, but that did not mean that there was no danger. The danger level of the sea was determined by distance, and the further one was from the continent, the more dangerous it was.
After some consideration, Lin Xiao decided to go out to sea.
The reason was simple: the resources in the sea were relatively more abundant.
The resources in the sea were usually concentrated on small islands. Sailing on the sea was inconvenient, and many small islands had not been visited by heroes for a long time. It was easy to accumulate a large number of treasure chests or wild monsters. As long as one was brave, lucky, and a bit of strength, it was easy to become rich overnight.
Following a fork in the road to the east for a few kilometers, Lin Xiao saw a huge city by the sea. From afar, he could see many ships docked in the huge port.
He led his subordinates into the city. There were not many player heroes in this neutral city for the time being. Most of them were native heroes, including humans and other races. They were at least Tier 2 and above.
Under the guidance of the guard, he came to a ship market that specialized in buying and selling ships. There were many types of ships for sale here. There were the common paddle boats and sailboats, as well as rare turreted ships and other ships. There were even huge armored ships for sale, but the price …
Anyway, he could not afford it with his current 170,000 gold coins.
He did not need to buy a good one. He was only a Tier 2 hero, and did not have that many troops to equip.
After some selection, he chose a large three-masted ship that was about 60 meters long and paid a total of 10,000 gold coins.
All the troops boarded the ship, and the ship slowly left the port and entered the sea of tranquility.
He stood at the bow of the ship and felt the sea breeze. White seagulls flew across the sky, and the sea was as tranquil as its name suggested. Occasionally, some sailboats or fleets would pass by. They were the caravans of ordinary native merchants. When the people on the ships saw Lin Xiao and the guards on the ships, they would salute him.
Behind Lin Xiao stood an archer dressed in exquisite light armor. He carried a gorgeous longbow that flowed with light. This was his first subordinate hero. He had given him the name Wire.
As a newly promoted hero, Wire's personal combat power had reached Tier 6. The hero's starting level was Tier 1, and he had an archer talent — + 20% range and + 20% damage when commanding the archers of the Holy Church Faction. Every time he leveled up, the bonus would increase by 10%. It was very powerful.
Gryphon Archers were the promotion of archers, and they were also considered archers.
As a personal subordinate hero, Wire's commanding population could be stacked with Lin Xiao's commanding population. His hero talent could also be stacked. Thus, he directly gave all the archers to Wire to command, freeing up a portion of the upper limit.
Unfortunately, the strategic attributes could not be stacked unless he let Wire lead the troops alone. Only talents and commanding population could be stacked in a team.
At this stage, there was no need for him to lead the troops alone. He was only a Tier 1 hero, and he was a little weak. He would only be allowed to lead the troops when he was Tier 2 or Tier 3.
The trade in the sea of tranquility was very developed, and the fleets of heroes and natives came and went frequently. Occasionally, resources would be discovered early on. Lin Xiao did not waste any time and directly headed for the exit of the inland sea. Four days later, he left the inland sea and entered the open sea.
A week later, it was raining heavily. Lin Xiao hid in the cabin and roasted meat while listening to the sound of the storm outside.
The sea was vast and boundless. After a week, he did not see any islands or sea monsters. For a moment, he wondered if he had gone to the wrong place.
Just as he was thinking about whether to change the route, there was a knock on the door. A swordsman who was completely drenched walked in, bringing with him good news as well as the cold air.
There was a sizable island in front of him.
Lin Xiao was immediately energized and ordered the sailboat to approach the island.
Braving the rain, he rushed out of the cabin and saw a huge black shadow lying on the distant sea covered by the rain. It was like a huge sea monster crawling on the sea.
The storm was too strong to see the situation on the island, and the strong wind threw up huge waves of three to four meters high. It was not easy to get close.
He let the battleship stop about a kilometer away from the island and waited for the storm to pass.
He waited for almost a day, and the storm only stopped the next morning.
When the sky was completely clear, he stepped onto the deck and saw a small island covered in lush vegetation less than a kilometer away. A thick transparent beam of light shot out from the center of the island, faintly discernible.
"There's something good."
Lin Xiao was overjoyed and ordered the battleship to quickly approach. After turning a corner, he saw two circles of light close to the beach. Figures were faintly discernible inside, but he could not see what kind of monsters they were because they were too far away.
However, at the edge of the forest, he saw a huge tornado with lightning flashing inside. There was a large group of Lightning Elementals beside it.
