Chapter 367: Chapter 367

"So what should we do next?" Du You asked the group, looking around. The color of his venom was so faint that it was barely discernible unless one paid really close attention. In the flame, it was not as dazzling as the fire. Check latest chapters at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

As for the smell, his venom did indeed have a slight odor, but it was also really faint. So in the poison fog, as long as they could withstand the corrosiveness of the venom, it posed not much threat to them.

Xi Qianxue quickly spoke, "Next, we need to clean up the battlefield and gather all the items. After that, I’ll take everything back and use it to replenish Border City’s resources. This way, Border City could rely on this batch of equipment and minerals to train a very powerful army. A few of you have to stay here though."

Xi Qianxue pointed to the path they had taken to get here and added, "In three days, under normal circumstances, a transportation team will arrive. This team is responsible for transporting the minerals to Wood Shield City."

"At the same time, this batch of troops will also carry a number of supplies to Wood Shield City. If we can keep this group here, it will deliver a huge blow to Wood Shield City. However, their defense force is not weak."

After a moment of silence, Xi Qianxue seemed to be calculating something before finally speaking, "Their forces are almost as powerful as those of the Flaming Copper Legion that is stationed here."

"The strength may be similar, but they aren’t these tin can-like things, right?" Du You inquired.

"Of course not. They are regular soldiers who just have a slightly higher level. A large portion of them are level 5, and the rest are no less than level 4. My venom might not have much effect on them as they would not lack antidotes. But if we coordinate well, winning shouldn’t be too challenging."

Du You shrugged, "As long as their defense is not strong, it doesn’t matter. If needed, we can keep using the Holy Light Arrow Array."

Xi Qianxue glared at Du You. Thinking about Du You’s Holy Light Arrow Array which was as fierce as a violent storm, she felt a twinge of jealousy. When did the Holy Light Arrow Array she had given him become so powerful?

She didn’t know what auxiliary spells Du You had learned to amplify the power of the spell to this extent.

However, considering a spellcaster’s casting speed, if Du You could really use it continuously, his power would be formidable enough to withstand the attacks of the others on his own.

"Alright, I believe you. Next, you guys start tackling the small forces nearby and clean up the area as much as you can while I send these things back."

By this time, Lan Xiaodie had nearly finished cleaning up the battlefield. All the armors and weapons were basically gathered and piled up, and the bodies were mostly dealt with. All the corpses were sent underground - a decent burial for them, one might say.

Because they didn’t suffer continuous hot and cold attacks, their armors were mostly intact.

Suddenly Lan Xiaodie screamed out, "Ah, quick, look over here."

The others, thinking something unexpected had happened, hurriedly looked over. Lan Xiaodie was pointing at a cave in surprise which was the mine that Wood Shield City had dug for Red Copper mining.

Inside were many slave miners hiding, but due to the spread of poison fog, those miners had lost their lives and were sitting there lifelessly. Du You’s venom even the Awakeners could not withstand, let alone these people.

However, what Lan Xiaodie wanted them to see was not this. It was the space deeper in the mine. It stored a large amount of Red Copper armor and weapons, and a great deal of Red Copper Ingots, all neatly stored in a warehouse.

"That’s a lot of materials. I wonder, just how many people will the Red Copper Legion have in the end?" Du You grumbled.

"According to past records, if no special task is triggered, the Red Copper Legion will have about five thousand people in the end. If some special tasks are triggered in Wood Shield City, the record can reach up to twenty thousand people."

Hearing Daniu’s words, Du You nodded slightly, "The Red Copper Ingots here can make quite a few armors, right?"

Daniu gave a slight nod, calculating internally, "If all these Red Copper Ingots are made into armors, there should be enough to equip five thousand people. After all, Red Copper armor and weapons are not entirely made of Red Copper, so Red Copper ore is basically an additive." Daniu’s professional level was quite good.

"Enough with the talking, I will try my best to get Border City to establish a Red Copper Legion."

After gathering everything, Xi Qianxue used her Space Transportation Scroll without hesitation. Then, a bracelet on her emitted a burst of light and a figure appeared in the light.

It was a horse with wings, resembling a Pegasus. Xi Qianxue climbed onto it and flew off.

"The rest is up to you guys." Xi Qianxue waved her hand and flew away.

"Please be careful." Lan Xiaodie shouted at Xi Qianxue with a touch of reluctance, watching as Xi Qianxue disappeared from her sight.

Only then did Du You speak, "Now it’s our turn to get to work. Daniu, you’re the most familiar with the information around here. Do you know any appropriate targets for us in the vicinity?"

Daniu shrugged, "Aside from patrol teams, there are only three military gathering points and two robber camps around here. We can only look for the patrol teams based on our luck. But those gathering points, we can start eliminating those."

Without Xi Qianxue, Daniu felt quite liberated.

Du You looked at the map and said, "This is how we’ll do it: you guys follow this route to search and clear the patrol teams. I will start from the north and eliminate these five gathering points, no matter what they’re for. But I will only clear them. You guys need to clean up the battlefield when you get there. What do you think?"

"It’s a good idea. This will speed things up as much as possible. Maybe in just one day we will be able to clear these gathering points. As for the patrol teams, well, we can’t just sit still for the next two days."

They weren’t too concerned about the so-called patrol teams. In a short period of time, the attention of Wood Shield City would not be here. After reaching an agreement, the group went into action.

Du You quickly took to the skies on Xiaozi, intending to clear the area as fast as possible. Whereas, Daniu was responsible for protecting Lan Xiaodie. Together, they started patrolling the planned route while also making their way.

With sufficient and accurate information, doing tasks was indeed easier. Du You thought to himself in the air, and soon spotted the first so-called bandit camp.
