Chapter 108 The Best Place
Twelve days later.
The exploration team completed the exploration of most of Thalling's area, and a brand new territory map slowly became clear in the hands of Leon. Mountains, forests, valleys, swamps... and even some mountain streams and waterfalls were marked out.
Through this exploration, Leon's gains were quite large.
This is not reflected in the fact that more than a dozen magic cores and rare medicinal materials in the backpacks of the warriors, but that he discovered that this forest land, known as the wild land, was completely an untapped treasure house of nature.
Together with the scout team, he discovered more than three forest and jungle areas for hunting, and accidentally discovered an open-air black coal mine and rock salt mine, as well as countless strange flowers and grasses - many of them are rare and expensive medicinal materials and spell casting materials.
The team was lucky and did not encounter the legendary demon clan and high-level monsters. Of course, this also had something to do with their avoiding the swamp area on the west front and the demonized dark place in the north.
Before the territory was truly established, Leon had no ambitions for these two dangerous areas.
Some were lucky and some were unsatisfactory. The twelve-day exploration did not allow Leon to find a location suitable for building a city or castle.
There are too many forests and mountains here, and the steep terrain and quite harsh environment are undoubtedly a big trouble.
He placed all his hopes in the last unexplored area, the heart of Thalling, which was still blank on his map.
After more than ten days of difficult trek and search, the team members were very tired, and even Qiang Wei, who was a beast soul warrior, looked a little haggard.
They climbed mountains and ridges all the way, constantly passing through the forests and trees, and had to fight against the wild beasts that suddenly appeared. The hardships of them were hard to describe.
But the leather armor is broken and scarred, and it cannot make everyone lose the will to continue moving forward, because what they are exploring is their own territory and their homeland!
"We're here!"
Split the tangled vines and the rose, who was walking in the front of the team, shouted with surprise: "It's this, what a beautiful little lake!"
Leon followed her and came out of the woods. His eyes suddenly lit up and his vision suddenly became wider!
In front of them was a huge basin surrounded by mountains, surrounded by dense forests. The more you go to the center, the more sparse the trees, gradually turning into a meadow dotted with countless wild flowers.
And in the center of the grass like a green velvet carpet, there is a piece of blue jadeite, a small lake deep in the forest!
The environment here is very similar to the shore of Jinghu Lake that Leon once visited. Although the area is not particularly large, the original scenery is far better than Jinghu Lake.
The sparkling lake reflects the snow peaks of distant mountains. From time to time, water birds fly up and down in the grass by the lake. A small river connecting the lake winds forward and disappears into the forest.
Follow this small river and look forward, you can see a jade belt-like waterfall falling down between the mountains in the distance. The roar of water hitting the rocks is vaguely heard from the wind.
No one would have expected that the core hinterland of Thalling would be so beautiful!
Yesterday afternoon, Leon discovered the existence of this basin while climbing a nearby mountain and also saw this small lake. But only when he was in the scene could he truly appreciate its charm.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!"
"It's really surprising, this place is really nice!"
"Well, I really want to take a shower!"
The scouts and soldiers who followed were all happy and moved, and all their fatigue swept away on their faces.
"Lion, let's build the castle here, it's so beautiful!"
Excited, Qiangwei turned around and hugged Leon, raised her head and begged, "Do you think it's okay?"
"Okay, okay! As long as you don't break my waist, you can do whatever you say!" Leon said with a smile.
Of course, his waist was tight, but the leopard girl was tight enough, which was enough to show her inner excitement and excitement.
Qiangwei then woke up, her pretty face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly let go of her hands.
Behind the team members were uncontrollable laughter.
This made Qiangwei both embarrassed and annoyed, and said angrily: "Why are you laughing at me? Why don't you go around me and see if there are any signs of monster activity!"
The female leopard showed its might, and the scouts suddenly scattered, leaving her and Leon behind to run away with their heads and hugged them.
Everyone ran away, and Qiangwei felt regret and a little embarrassed again. She lowered her head and thought that she would make Leon feel that she was too rude and didn't look like a girl at all?
Before she knew it, her heart had already been tied to Leon, and this was almost a secret known to everyone in the Mad Hammer Tribe.
Just as the leopard girl was complaining, she felt her hand being pulled.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Leon's bright black eyes, with a warm smile.
"Let's go to the lake together." Leon said with a smile, pulling her little hand and walking forward.
Qiangwei felt a little shy, but she couldn't bear to let go and let him hold him.
The green grass is as green as the breeze, with the fragrance of unknown wild flowers. Stepping through the grass, it startles butterflies and dances. The mirror-like small lake seems to be making a silent call.
This picturesque beautiful scenery made Rose gradually forget his shyness, and he looked around and wanted to put all the scenery into his own vision.
What is different from her is that when Leon enjoys the scenery, he is also evaluating the feasibility of building a city or castle here.
There is no doubt that this is the best place to build Thalling so far. It is surrounded by mountains to form a natural barrier. It is enough to withstand the cold currents in the north in winter, and the environment is very superior.
The existence of small rivers and lakes makes water sources no problem at all. Flat basins are also conducive to reclamation, planting and grazing, and are not very far from the two hunting areas.
There is a problem. It is located in the hinterland of the Salter, from the Nucang River to the south, from the Colinworth Territory to the east, and from the Iron Fort to the north.
Due to the obstruction of the mountain forest, the future transportation between the Salling and the outside world will be extremely inconvenient. Even the gray camel caravan will probably find it difficult to get here and will be almost isolated from the world.
Therefore, if you are threatened by such demon clans, the Crazy Hammer Tribe can only fight alone and find it difficult to ask for help from the outside world.
However, in Leon's view, isolation from the world also has the benefits of isolation from the world. Thrall does not need to intervene in the disputes of the kingdom and concentrates on developing and slowly expanding its strength. Population may also be a big problem, but there is still a solution.
It's this! He made a secret decision in his heart.
"Sir, Sir!"
A few anxious calls suddenly came from a distance, which suddenly interrupted Leon's thoughts.
Leon was shocked and immediately looked in the direction where the sound came, and saw two scouts running towards this side on the other side of the lake shore.
Behind them, there were more than a dozen large, half-body savages chasing closely. They held spears and made yells.
What happened? Leon was shocked. Are there any indigenous people here?
Without thinking carefully, Lei Ang immediately pulled out his sword and rushed over. Qiangwei picked up the longbow and hurriedly followed behind him to support him.
The two sides quickly approached, and Leon also saw clearly the appearance of the pursuer.
These "savages" have a fat body, with bare chest and breasts exposed, with big, shiny belly, square horse face, two copper bell-like eyes bulging high, wide nose, flat mouth, thick lips, and two huge white front teeth.
Their hair was tied into small braids and drooped to their waists. Their dark faces and bodies were covered with dark red dyes, and their lower body was covered with grass skirts made of grass leaves and rattan strips.
Although these hunters looked fatter than pigs, their running speed was not slow at all, and they rumbling like a running group of elephants, with a very terrifying momentum.
Of course, their speed is incomparable to that of the leopard scouts, so they were pulled a long distance away.
For some reason, Leon looked at these fat guys and felt familiar.
Two leopard scouts rushed to the front of Leon in panting. Leon stopped and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"
"We don't know either. We just went to the woods over there to explore. We just saw someone taking a bath in the river, and then they rushed out to chase us!" a scout explained, swallowing his saliva.
"Is there any misunderstanding? Don't run away, ask first."
Leon inserted his sword into the grass in front of him, which was a peaceful expression of not wanting to use force.
When Qiangwei, who caught up, saw his actions, she also lowered the long bow in her hand.
The dozen fat and powerful men saw Leon and others stopping in place, slowed down and stopped dozens of steps away.
"Hello, I am Leon, the lord of Thrall. We have no malice. Which ethnic group do you belong to?" Leon asked loudly.
Judging from the other party's appearance, it is clearly characterized by beast races, not like demon races or underground races.
The men looked at each other, one of them walked forward a few steps and asked stutterly, "What Sallen, I have never heard of, where did you come from, why do you peek at our women taking a bath?"
The woman who peeked at their bath? Leon almost choked to death by his saliva, and quickly looked back at the two leopard scouts.
The two scouts were even more innocent and shouted, "How could they peek? We just went over and saw people in the river. Before we could see clearly, they ran out!"
Leon really believes that to be honest, judging from the other person's appearance, their women are so beautiful that the leopard scouts' taste is not that heavy.
