Chapter 111 Yellow Wind Ridge
Lin Tian drove away those who wanted to approach the post station. He had no intention of taking them in; he had already done more than enough by letting them out.
As for whether they can survive and leave this desert... that's none of Lin Tian's business.
[Ding! Unlocking the ecology of Huangfengling.......]
[Ding! The following have been unlocked: [Rat Crossbowman], [Rat School Guard], and [Bone Spirit]]
After Lin Tian occupied the post station, a notification sound suddenly popped up on the task panel, indicating that Lin Tian had completed the task, and the ecology of Huangfengling was thus unlocked.
Seeing this, Lin Tian also began to examine the three newly acquired troop types.
Little Demon Rat Crossbowman:
Summoning Requirement: 30 Spirit Essence
Quantity: 0/300
Note: The elite crossbowmen, adorned with dragon carvings, their booming voices startling and terrifying. Their skillful archery shines through on the battlefield, their strategic planning ensures victory.
[Little Demon Rat School Guard:]
Summoning Requirement: 30 Spirit Essence
Quantity: 0/300
Note: Golden spears adorn armor, ribbons flutter to the tassels of banners. The reed pipes beat in unison with war drums, shields bolster courage.
Little Demon Bone Spirit
Summoning requires: 20 Spirit Essence + a small amount of Sand.
Quantity: 0/∞
Note: Bones lie scattered on the desolate hill, flesh withered and dried. Wandering souls forget their names; where is their home?
The initial cap for both the Rat Crossbowmen and the Rat School Guards was 300, which made Lin Tian very happy, finally it wasn't just 10 points at the start.
As for the Bone Spirit, it and the Bone Ridge also have unlimited summoning abilities, except that one consumes bones and the other consumes sandstorms.
It is worth mentioning that when Lin Tian wanted to further improve the ecology of Huangfengling, he found that he needed 200,000 spiritual essences plus five silver essences.
Lin Tian currently only has tens of thousands of spirit domains and four silver spirit souls, which is still far from his goal, so he has temporarily given up the idea of improving.
Lin Tian planned to first examine the newly acquired troop types...
................
Several days later, on a small sand dune, a creature called a sand beast was leisurely sunbathing.
He resembled a lion, was the size of a wolf, and had a golden body, as if his flesh and blood were cast from quicksand.
This is a special creature that lives in the Jinming Desert, and it is also the most distinctive creature in the Jinming Desert, mainly because no one knows how they were formed.
All people know is that when they are killed, they turn into a cloud of sand and are buried in this desert.
Legend has it that they are a kinsman of the god of death, and whenever people step into this desert, they take the place of the god of death to kill enemies and defend his territory.
During his days in the desert, Lin Tian discovered that sand beasts could also obtain spiritual essence, and then...
"Let me come! Let me come!"
"I'll snipe the sand!"
Not far from the sand beast, two small figures were lying on a hillside.
Both of them were rat-men. They had a wretched appearance, thick black hair, and topknots. As for their size... they were bigger than Little Frog.
As for their equipment, both men were dressed in cloth armor and each held a wooden crossbow.
The two men were lying on the sand dune, aiming their crossbows at the sand beast in the distance, seemingly preparing to hunt.
However, the two seemed to have had a minor argument before the hunt.
The rat crossbowman on the left seemed to want to prove himself better, intending to hunt alone without his companion's help, which displeased the rat crossbowman on the right.
"You're using a sand snipe?"
"I'm the world's best sniper! Get out of the way! Don't disturb my sniping!"
"You don't believe me? I'll show you right now! Move aside, let me do it!"
"Say it again and I'll make you fly!"
"I... f*** you!"
The two argued more and more fiercely, and it looked like they were about to fight when the sand beast suddenly sprang up. As if it had sensed something, it began to run wildly!
"Damn it, the prey got away! It's all your fault!"
"What do you mean 'blame me'! It was clearly you... Fine, I'm not going to argue with you, you idiot. I'll show you what a run-and-sniper look is!"
Having said that, the two ratmen were about to give chase, but just then, the sand behind them suddenly trembled...
"What's wrong? Did the desert get a head start?"
Just as the two mice were still confused about what was going on, a large worm suddenly emerged from the ground.
puff!
The giant worm emerged from the sand and launched one of the rats into the air.
"Holy crap, you really flew!"
The other mouse stared blankly at the scene, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Turns out, showing off really does make you fly!
Pfft!
The worm bit the rat-man with its sharp mouthparts, making him wince in pain!
"Damn it, you're still making sarcastic remarks? Hurry up and come help!"
Seeing his companion bleeding, the crossbowman below finally reacted, raising his wooden crossbow and firing!
Pfft!
The rat crossbowmen were quite powerful; with just one arrow, they tore the worm open, causing it to bleed profusely!
The worm, in pain, released its grip, and the rat crossbowman that had been thrown away earlier also fell down.
After releasing the rat crossbowman, the worm tried to burrow underground to escape. The two tried to fire another arrow, but the worm was so fast that they could only manage to fire one more.
The worm burrowed into the sand, but judging from the trembling ground, it didn't seem to have left. It appeared to be circling around, looking for an opportunity to avenge the two arrows.
"I'm running away first!"
Seeing that the worm refused to leave, the uninjured crossbowman's heart pounded wildly, and his ominous premonition grew stronger. So, without thinking, he simply ran away.
Just kidding, he's a high-ranking sniper, how could he possibly go head-to-head with the enemy!
Decided!
This is a sniper rifle!
However, this scene stunned his companion, and it took him a full three seconds to react before he burst into a tirade of curses:
"Damn it, what about me?! You're going to sell out your teammates, huh?!"
He was injured and had difficulty moving around, so it was impossible for him to outrun his teammates who had both legs!
He originally intended to stay where he was and die a heroic death, but looking at the trembling sand, he honestly started running.
On a sand dune not far from them, a fellow ratman suddenly appeared. He didn't have as much fur as the rat crossbowmen, but he was slightly larger.
Unlike the Rat Crossbowman, he carries a round shield on his back and a steel spear in his hand, clearly making him a melee class.
He planted his steel spear in the ground, then raised his hands to his eyes, gazing towards the crossbowmen. Seeing the two men scrambling away, he couldn't help but say:
"Those two idiots."
