Chapter 174 Determine the Goal and Open Source (1/2)

On Huangsha Road, in an unknown valley, a group of people were busy cutting down the big trees in the valley to build a military camp.

The first thing built in the military camp was a wooden fence. Within the fence, wooden houses that had not been carefully polished rose from the ground.

Not far from the military camp, there is a stream more than one foot wide. Its source is a water outlet more than half a person high on the rock wall of the valley, and flows into a cave in the corner of the valley.

The source of the stream and the place where it flows into are both underground rivers. The stream on the valley floor seems to be just a branch of the underground river on the ground.

The valley is surrounded by a circle of barren hills, with only scattered bushes and thick layers of yellow sand.

Desertification in Huangshadao has become increasingly serious, with at least one-fifth of the entire territory turning into desert.

This also causes sandstorms to break out several times every year on Wong Sa Road, causing more or less sand to be seen throughout Wong Sa Road.

Especially in this sparsely populated barren mountain, the accumulated sand has reached a considerable amount.

When Li Yan and others entered the valley, they had to go through several obstacles blocked by barren mountains. Everything else was fine, but the layers of sand on the barren mountains greatly hindered their progress.

At this time, the local bandits on Huangsha Road who had just subdued played a big role.

They have a good way of clearing a path in the sand efficiently.

There were more than two hundred people in this group, which made the road clearing very fast.

Today is the fifth day since Li Yan and the others encountered the first group of bandits on Huangsha Road. While rushing back, they encountered two more bandits.

However, these two times, the bandits looked at Li Yan and the group of people from a distance and ran away, with no intention of robbing Li Yan and others.

For this reason, Kong Tianyang felt very sorry. What a good source of soldiers.

Chen Hao, the innate bandit leader who has been incorporated, also feels pity.

He had always been holding back anger in his heart, but he never dared to vent it out in front of Li Yan and others, and even maintained a lowly attitude.

If new bandits arrive, then he will have a suitable reason to use those new bandits to vent the pent-up anger in his heart.

And he also knew that the more he behaved like this, the more assured Li Yan and others would be of him.

In the military camp in the nameless valley, in the newly built meeting hall, Kong Tianyang sat at the main seat, with two rows of seats on both sides of the main seat.

Only innate warriors are eligible to sit in these two rows of seats. Li Yan sits in the first position on Kong Tianyang's right hand, followed by Mu Yingmei, and finally Chen Hao.

Among the three of them, Li Yan and Mu Yingmei were sitting casually, chatting and tasting wild fruits found in the nameless valley on the table between them.

Chen Hao, who was sitting last, had an upright posture, looking straight ahead, and did not dare to breathe too hard.

After all, the two people sitting next to him were a violent woman who had ravaged him severely, and a poisonous man who controlled his life and death.

He would never dare to offend these two.

Opposite Li Yan, sitting first on Kong Tianyang's left hand was the tall and burly Yu Wenkui, followed by Kong Ge and Xiang Qinghong.

In addition to these innate warriors sitting on the chairs, there are many people standing behind the chairs in the meeting hall.

For example, behind Li Yan stood three direct descendants of the Su family that Li Yan brought from the Su family, and behind Mu Yingmei and others stood people they brought from the family.

"Okay, be quiet for a moment and let me tell you something."

Kong Tianyang, who was in the main seat, spoke, and everyone naturally stopped talking in a very sensible manner.

When everyone's eyes were focused on him, Kong Tianyang said: "Our first goal has been completed and we have our own camp. This is a matter of joy. Let us do this." applaud."

Kong Tianyang took the lead in applauding, and others naturally followed suit.

The scene was immediately enveloped in applause.

After a while, after the applause stopped, Kong Tianyang continued: "Next, we will start to complete the second goal, recruiting a full thousand-man regiment."

"This step requires us to take the initiative."

Then, Kong Tianyang looked at Chen Hao and said to Chen Hao: "Chen Hao, tell me what bandit forces are around here that we can take down."

Upon hearing Kong Tianyang's question, Chen Hao jumped up and stood up immediately.

Then, he took a deep breath, took a few steps forward, and came to the middle of the conference hall, facing Kong Tianyang.

First, he showed Kong Tianyang the newly learned etiquette of meeting superiors, and then he said: "Reporting to Kong Qianhu, as far as my subordinates know, there are three well-known bandit forces nearby."

"One is Heifeng Village, three hundred miles southeast of us. The leader of the village is in the middle stage of Xiantian cultivation. The three deputy village leaders under him are all in the early stage of Xiantian. There are at least five hundred people in the entire village."

"The other place is the Evil Tiger's Nest located two hundred miles west of us. The leader calls himself Evil Tiger. He is in the middle stage of Xiantian cultivation. His four generals are all in the early stage of Xiantian cultivation. However, it is said that there are only a few people in the entire Evil Tiger's Nest. to three hundred people.”

"The last place is the Storm Territory, which is located a hundred and fifteen miles north of us. The lord is only at the peak of the early stage of Xiantian, but he has six brothers who work together. I heard that he is a traitor from a certain sect in another way. Come to Huangsha Road to take refuge.”

"However, these seven innate warriors from the Storm Territory are all swordsmen, and they master a set of storm sword formations. The average late-stage innate warrior is no match for them."

"Moreover, they guard the road that the caravan must pass through, sitting on the ground to collect the money to buy the way. They have the most wealth among the three major forces, so they also have the most men, with as many as seven or eight hundred people."

After Chen Hao finished speaking, he stood with his hands tied and looked at his toes.

After listening to Chen Hao's statement, Kong Tianyang first praised Chen Hao and then asked him to return to his seat.

"Everyone, what do you think is the most appropriate force for us to choose as our current target?"

Kong Tianyang raised such a question.

When everyone heard this question, they couldn't help but fall into thinking, and the first person to answer was Yu Wenkui.

Yu Wenkui stood up, his tall body making people shocked.

He saluted Kong Tianyang, and then said in a loud voice: "Master Qianhu, my subordinates believe that the Storm Territory should be attacked first."

"Why is this? What is Yuwen Baihu's opinion?"

Kong Tianyang asked in surprise.

Judging from Chen Hao's description, the Storm Leader is the strongest, and it should be left to the end to conquer.

Faced with Kong Tianyang's doubts, Yu Wenkui replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "I think Qianhu will definitely think that the Storm Territory is the strongest among the three parties, so he should leave it until the end to take action, right?"

Kong Tianyang nodded, acknowledging Yu Wenkui's words.

"Actually, my subordinates thought like Qianhu at first, but then they suddenly thought that although the Storm Territory has seven innate warriors and eight hundred bandits, it seems to be much stronger than us."

"However, its strongest point is also its weakest, that is, the Storm Territory does not have any high-end warriors in the true sense."

"Although the seven innate warriors in the Storm Territory can form a storm sword formation that can rival late-stage innate warriors, and their strength seems to be stronger than that of ordinary late-stage innate warriors, what if one of the seven of them is missing?"

"Can they still set up the storm sword formation? In other words, even if they can set up the storm sword formation again, will its power still be comparable to that of late-stage innate warriors?"

"Besides, one less person is not enough, what about two or three?"

When Yu Wenkui said this, everyone understood what he meant.

If you hit a snake with seven inches, the Storm Sword Formation of the Storm Leader is the Seven Inch of the Storm Leader. Once there is no Storm Sword Formation, the Storm Leader will be a poisonous snake without fangs, which will pose a great threat to Li Yan and others. weaken.

Kong Tianyang's eyes lit up, and the look he looked at Yu Wenkui was full of approval.

"Yuwen Baihu's insights are really shocking."

Kong Tianyang sighed, and then quickly asked Yu Wenkui to sit back in his seat.

Then, he turned his attention to the others and asked, "What do you think."

Li Yan stood up at this time and replied: "My subordinates agree very much with Yuwen Baihu's method. As long as we can kill two or three innate warriors from the Storm Territory, the Storm Territory will become our Storm Territory."

"Moreover, the nearly 800 bandits led by Baofeng will also become our soldiers. In this way, the number of soldiers needed by a Thousand Households Regiment is already full, and there are even more."

"With the full number of soldiers, we can start formal training. After training for a period of time, we can pull these soldiers out to fight against the other two forces."

"In three months, we will select one thousand of the most elite soldiers, and we will definitely be able to meet the standards required by the imperial court."

Listening to Li Yan's vision for the future, Kong Tianyang's face was filled with joy.

Although Li Yan is painting a cake, this cake can be seen and touched.

Not only Kong Tianyang's face showed joy, but other people's faces also showed excitement.

No one expected that things would progress so smoothly. The site had just been found and the biggest recruitment problem had been solved.

Now, all that needs to be done is to discuss how to kill those innate warriors from the Storm Territory.

For this reason, everyone discussed it for several hours, and the sky gradually darkened.

When the dim yellow light shone into the meeting hall, everyone realized that it was getting dark.

Finally, Kong Tianyang announced a little tiredly: "That's it for today. I'll leave this matter to Yuwen Baihu, and the others will be responsible for assisting Yuwen Baihu."

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back and rest."

"Yes", everyone replied in unison.

After that, they exited the meeting hall one after another and walked to their respective rooms.

Li Yan took the lead, followed by three direct descendants of the Su family.

The entire journey was silent.

But after arriving at the room that Li Yan had just built not long ago, one of the direct descendants of the Su family closed the door, lit the oil lamp, and began to defend Li Yan.

"Brother Su Han, I'm not telling you that Yu Wenkui's method is not as good as yours at all, Brother Su Han. Why did Kong Qianhu choose him to execute it?"

Not only him, but the other two people also looked like they were fighting for Li Yan.

There is not much age difference between the four of them, and even the age of the clone Su Han is only the third among the four.

Therefore, the other three people did not really approve of Li Yan at first. They only thought that he was lucky enough to break through to the innate realm.

However, in the past few days, after everything Li Yan did was seen by them, they gradually recognized Li Yan and began to truly follow Li Yan.

It's not how kind Li Yan is to them, but the methods and maturity shown by Li Yan that make them feel that Li Yan is a reliable person and someone they can follow.

They didn't quite recognize Li Yan before. One of the important reasons was that he was too young and didn't seem to be reliable.

However, after Li Yan used cruel methods to completely subdue the group of bandits, the three of them no longer dared to look down on Li Yan in the slightest.

It turned out that when Li Yan asked them to do things, they would still delay a little. Since then, they have done very well in the things that Li Yan did not ask.

Moreover, in some matters, they even began to think more about Li Yan's interests, just like this time.

When Li Yan heard this, he smiled calmly and said calmly: "After all, this is the idea proposed by Yuwen Baihu. It is understandable that Qianhu will be a little bit towards him. You don't have to do this."

"If others find out, will they think that we in the Su family are narrow-minded and cannot tolerate others coming forward?"

"I...", the man wanted to defend, but Li Yan raised his hand to stop him.

"I know you are not such a person, but others don't know, so in the future, say less."

Li Yan's serious words made the other party lower his head.

Then, Li Yan continued: "There are two most important things for us to do now. The first is to figure out how to cooperate with Yuwen Baihu to kill those innate warriors from the Storm Territory."

"Second, after conquering the Storm Territory, how can we intercept powerful bandits and become our soldiers?"

"I am now a hundred households. If I have full strength, I will have a hundred soldiers and ten captains. The three of you will naturally become captains directly, and you will also have to manage the thirty most elite soldiers in the team for me. ”

Li Yan casually drew a big cake, which immediately made the other three people's eyes shine.

One pie was not enough, so Li Yan continued: "Moreover, Kong Qianhu also intends to select a five-centurion captain from Yu Wenkui and myself to manage the affairs of the entire Qianhu Group."

"At that time, if I really take the position of Captain of Five Centurions, I will transfer you to the position of Deputy Hundred Households. That means you are not strong enough at the moment, otherwise you will be directly promoted to Hundred Households by then. ”

Li Yan's words made the three people who were already excited even more excited.

"Su Han, don't worry, we will never act out of impulse and ruin your plans in the future. Tell us how we can cooperate with Yu Wenkui."

Among the three, the oldest and most mature one reacted first, and then expressed it quickly.

The other two people were not stupid. They immediately understood one of the meanings of Li Yan's words and quickly expressed their opinions.

"Me too."×2

Li Yan nodded with satisfaction, and then let them go after chatting with them about cooperating with Yu Wenkui, as well as some related topics such as team building and training.

"These children from aristocratic families are quite good. They have received a good enough education since childhood, and they are not stupid. They can quickly understand my intentions. They are some good tool people."

Li Yan looked at the closed door and couldn't help but secretly thought.

What he said just now revealed two pieces of information. One is that as long as he is still in office for one day, he will let the three of them get the best positions in his team.

Another thing is that he has now begun to compete with Yu Wenkui for the position of the 500th household, also known as the deputy 1,000th household.

These two pieces of news, coupled with Li Yan's previous warning to them, meant that they should not make extraneous matters, not talk nonsense, and follow him properly.

Afterwards, Li Yan came to the oil lamp, knocked on the simple tabletop with burrs, and began to think about how to make a fortune without others knowing when cooperating with Yu Wenkui.

He had already done this kind of thing once in Linjiang County. At that time, the people from [Red Blood Camp] attracted everyone's attention, which allowed him to successfully collect the information collected by [Red Blood Camp] in Linjiang County. Wealth, looted.

The wealth was really quite a lot, so Li Yan asked his avatar to exchange all the wealth into spirit beads in Nanshan City, and then took the spirit beads to buy various Five Elements Spirit Pills in Xuanfeng City.

Others take one spiritual pill and practice once, but Li Yan has to take five spiritual pills with different properties before he can start practicing.

Therefore, Li Yan's cultivation was very intense.

However, this also allowed Li Yan to try the effect of practicing at full capacity. The effect of one day's practice can be as good as that of others for nearly a month.

This has led to the fact that in the past half a month, Li Yan has opened up the third meridian of the human body, and has successfully stabilized this third meridian regardless of the consumption of infuriating energy and the use of various types of meridians. meridians.

Start attacking the fourth meridian.

If this continues, Li Yan will reach the peak of the early stage of innateness within two months.

In other words, Li Yan may break through to the middle stage of Xiantian again in less than half a year. This speed may not be achieved by ordinary people who take pills every day.

What's more, what Li Yan practices is the [Five Elements and Five Directions Reincarnation Skills] which consumes ten times more resources than ordinary innate skills.

However, it is a pity that all the resources of Li Yan's current clone can only last less than a month due to his crazy consumption.

He needs to continue to open source and collect more resources to provide his body with more Five Elements spiritual energy.

The large amount of innate resources in the Storm Territory has become one of his open source goals.

In addition to Huangshadao's clone who was thinking about how to open up sources of resources, Li Yan's other clones were also trying to find ways to collect more resources.

Among them, there was a clone who had already arrived at Dayue Tunzhou Parish and joined the Dayue army.
