After this round of maturity, the coffee tree would need a week to bear fruit again.
However, the territory’s unique building, the forest plantation, could increase production.
He looked at its construction price.
1000 units of wood and stone resources.
The stones were easy to deal with, as they were available now.
As for woods, he had used up all of them after recruiting a wave of Kobolds and Rangers yesterday.
However, with more than a hundred Kobolds working at full speed, the wood accumulation speed was still quite fast.
The Kobolds could cut down about 7 to 8 units of wood or collect 10 to 12 units of fiber in a day.
1000 units of wood. Over 100 Kobolds would only need a day to gather them.
Very stable!
Back in front of the lord’s manor.
Ji Chen began to gather the army.
On the last day of the week, they explored the three sub-islands in the northeast.
In this case, only the mountain peaks in the entire archipelago had not been visited, and they would be placed at the finale.
He had a feeling that he would encounter some very powerful enemies on the mountain peak.
With the current strength of the army, it might be a little difficult to deal with them.
Therefore, it was better for him to obediently finish the last three sub-islands and increase his strength before heading there.
He was about to leave with his army.
Anina walked out from the side of the house, rubbing her eyes as she asked curiously.
“Where are you going?”
“We’re going to the wild to hunt monsters.” Ji Chen smiled. “Anina, did you rest well last night? Is there a place where we can receive you?”
“No, 1 rested well.” Anina shook her head.
But there was one thing she didn’t say.
This was the first time she had slept on such a comfortable and soft bed. In the past, she had always slept directly on the beach of a deserted island…
Moreover, the food here was also very delicious. It was the best food she had eaten in the past ten years.
“You’re going to kill monsters? Then I’ll go with you.”
“But you are a guest…”
“It’s okay. When you said that you wanted to protect the territory yesterday, you also meant to protect yourself.” Anina waved her hand casually.
Ji Chen hesitated, but when he saw the anticipation on her face, he nodded.
It just so happened that he also wanted to see the strength of a Purple Rare Hero.
However, he suddenly felt a grip on his arm.
He looked down and saw Alice hugging his right arm tightly. She was looking at Anina with a slightly hostile look in her eyes.
Was this child jealous?
Ji Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He patted the little Siren’s head and comforted her.
However, Anina’s attention was also attracted by Alice. Her red eyes were filled with curiosity.
She had noticed this beautiful girl with fins on her ears yesterday.
“What race is she from?”
“Alice is a Siren.”
“So, she’s a Siren… What?”
The Dragon Whale girl’s mouth opened wide. Her eyes were filled with surprise.
Her face, which had a little baby fat, puffed up. She looked very cute.
Ji Chen was curious about her reaction, so he asked her why.
Anina took a while to recover and explained with a complicated look in her eyes.
“The Sirens are an extremely rare race in the sea. Their numbers are basically no more than two digits. They are born with the ability to bewitch the mind and control living creatures, so they are not very popular with other races.”
“Moreover, there are rumors in the ocean that once you are entangled with or close to the Siren, you will encounter endless misfortune…”
“But now, such a young Siren is actually beside a human like you. That’s why I’m so surprised.”
The population of the tribe does not exceed two digits?
So rare?
Ji Chen was surprised.
What kind of luck was it that he managed to fish Alice out of the sea?
Bewitching the mind…
Could it be Alice’s Song of Temptation?
But the effect of the song did not seem to have reached the level of bewitching…
Could it be that she only possesses this ability after fully maturing?
And what misfortune… Alice has been here for so many days. He was more inclined to believe that this was just a rumor about three people becoming a tiger.
Soon, he shook his head and said with a firm gaze.
“I don’t believe this rumor. No matter what, Alice is already a part of the territory. This is her home.”
Upon hearing Ji Chen’s words, Alice hugged him even tighter and rested her head on his shoulder.
There was a hint of pride in her eyes as he looked at Anina.
“… As you wish, don’t blame me for not reminding you when the time comes.” The Dragon Whale girl said with a nonchalant expression.
However, when she looked at Alice, a hint of envy appeared in her eyes.
Home.
A distant and unfamiliar word…
“Alright, let’s set off now.”
Ji Chen, who hadn’t noticed the Dragon Whale girl’s strange behavior, waved his arm and led everyone away.
Soon, they arrived at the beach where they had met Anina yesterday.
That mountain of corpses made from Sea Heir’s corpses was burned to ashes, leaving behind a much smaller pile of ash.
As the sea breeze peeled away layer by layer, the ashes flew and scattered everywhere, becoming fertilizer for the trees and weeds.
Without lingering there, they continued to move forward along the beach.
Heading towards the northeast.
The terrain on the left changed from a gentle jungle to a steep cliff. On the cliff that was dozens of meters high, many birds were building their nests in the cracks.
After walking all the way, they gradually saw the three sub-islands in the northeast.
The reason why Ji Chen didn’t borrow a canoe from the natives was simple.
The sea receded during the day, and the water level dropped.
A very long and narrow tidal flat would be exposed on the sea between the main island and the northeast island.
At this time, even if they did not use a boat, they could easily walk over with their feet.
Walking on this tidal flat, the clear blue water on both sides gave him a wonderful feeling.
Speaking of which, the scenery of this archipelago was quite good.
There were giant forests that were hundreds of meters tall, primitive jungles, rugged and complex caves, mountain peaks that reached into the clouds, white sandy beaches that stretched for ten miles, and this marvelous tidal flat in the sea.
Ji Chen couldn’t help but inwardly sigh.
“If this world could develop tourism, wouldn’t 1 become rich?”
After passing through the tidal flat, the group arrived at the first sub-island in the northeast.
Unlike the northwestern sub-islands, the three northeastern sub-islands had many traces of civilization.
The ruins of buildings were hidden in the dense vegetation, giving off a desolate look.
He could vaguely see the ruins of city walls and towers.
“Could this have once been a military facility?”
Ji Chen pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and led the army in.
On the Omniscience map, a large number of red dots were already displayed in the ruins.
However, the enemies were a bit different from what he expected.
