Chapter 114 Heaven and Earth, Strange Events in the Fog City
After Lu Feng and the others left, Chen Gou stood on the top of the mountain overlooking a few scattered stone houses at the foot of the mountain.
It can be seen that during his absence, the fortification plan did not go well.
Lack of money, lack of people?
Chen Gou frowned slightly, but the next moment his attention was drawn to a seedling planted by the lake.
The water-blue leaves and stems are dotted with black lines, and when you get close to it, you will feel a sinister and mysterious atmosphere.
What kind of grass is this?
Suspicious, Chen Gou activated the candle pupil, only to find in astonishment that this was the ghost flower seed that Chu Renmei dropped after being killed, and it grew into its current appearance after being planted.
Moreover, when I checked again at this time, there was an additional attribute-growth by sucking ghosts!
You can grow by eating ghosts, I just hope you don't just eat and work.
Chen Gou could take up the post of Pluto's soul arrester in the future, and it would be no problem to help Guilinghua catch ghosts.
But he can't do it for nothing, and he can't raise a flower that can only be seen. Naturally, he has to pay for it.
He hoped that the ghost flower would become the last line of defense by the lake in the future, the kind that is absolutely loyal.
Jian Ying asked cautiously from the side: My lord, those five members of the Lin family who entered the abyss...
Dead. Chen Gou replied concisely.
Arrow Eagle heaved a sigh of relief, then lowered his head and said, I couldn't stop them...
I don't blame you. Chen Gou waved his hand and said, You are alone, and there are only about a dozen shrimp soldiers and crab generals under your command. How can you stop them?
At this moment, Lin Yuan, an old hermaphrodite, came up the mountain path.
He did not go up to the top of the mountain, but stood far away at the end of the mountain road and said: I have come to say goodbye to you. I am leaving. The Holy See will re-appoint the Huadao liaison officer. He is a member of your Abyss Knights.
Is it?
Chen Gou asked in surprise, Did your Lin family give up, or did you fall into a disadvantage in the battle between the upper echelons?
You earned it yourself. The five people we sent into the abyss all died, but you came back alive, so you won this round. Although I don't know how you did it, I still have to admit that you Nice win, total win!
There was undisguised admiration in Lin Yuan's words, and he continued: The winner has everything, if you lose, the Abyss Knights will take revenge on the Lin family, and maybe one or two unimportant Lin family children will die.
But in the end, the Knights of the Abyss and the Lin family would still give up, and they would not tear themselves apart completely. In this way, the Knights of the Abyss saved face and the Lin family got the territory of the Abyss.
Are you trying to sow discord before leaving? Chen Gou sneered.
Lin Yuan ignored it, and said to himself: Do you feel very dark? But what can I do, try to become stronger, unless one day you become a chess player yourself. In addition, since you won In the first game, according to the agreement between the Lin family and the Abyssal Knights, we will not use the previous method to calculate, but will only use the above-board method.
Chen Gou raised his eyebrows: For example?
Battle of the First Sun!
Lin Yuan finally changed back to what he should be, and said grimly and coldly: If you stand out in the internal competition of the Abyss Knights, you will compete with the geniuses of the other two major knights, and two of the three best of my Lin family They are all in the Judgment Knights, but in the arena, they have no skills, and life and death matter.
When Chen Gou heard this, a smile appeared on his face: Very well, thank you for letting me know that I can kill the genius of your Lin family in the ring. If you have nothing else to do, you can leave. I wish you a bumpy journey. On the way to death.
You can be regarded as a character, but it's a pity that the villain is successful and doesn't have the courage to have. Lin Yuan shook his head, turned and left.
A villain succeeds? Chen Gou smiled even more happily: You are complimenting me, does your platinum family, Lin, have a gentleman?
In such a world, being a gentleman is no different from courting death.
Lin Yuan paused, obviously couldn't bear to lose a game before leaving, but after thinking about it, he had nothing to refute, and finally shook his head slightly, as if looking away, and sighed back: It's a pity, if from I was the one who led it in the first place, and it's never going to be like this.
After finishing speaking, he went down the mountain and left by boat without looking back, taking the identity of a loser.
Go, take me to the bottom of the mountain to have a look.
Chen Gou quickly put Lin Yuan behind him. People like Lin Yuan would hardly have anything to do with him in the future. In the future, his opponents could only be the so-called geniuses of the Lin family.
When I came to the foot of the mountain, I realized that it was even more desolate than what I saw on the mountain.
The biggest reason is that it is not attractive. Flower Island has neither precious mineral deposits nor groups of law creatures to hunt and kill. Naturally, it is difficult to attract people to live here.
However, if the territory wants to grow, it must have enough population as the foundation.
Otherwise, there would not even be enough soldiers to recruit the guards, so why talk about development?
Chen Gou pondered for a moment, pointed to a small island attached to Huadao on the coast, and said, Build a tall building there, and I can give you three words for reference... Splendid, luxurious, paradise on earth! The name is I I’ll help you think about it too, it’s called heaven on earth!”
Jianying was stunned and said: What is the purpose of building such a building? The cost must be frighteningly high.
Casino, clubhouse, auction house!
This is the future direction of Huadao's development. I'll figure out how to start up the funds. What you have to do is to use all means to build this place into a sanctuary for pleasure that is famous throughout the Xingluo Sea Region.
Since his own resources and natural conditions were insufficient, Chen Gou could only let Huadao develop into the service industry.
At least Huadao still has some advantages in this respect by virtue of the sea of flowers that are competing for splendor.
No matter how dangerous and dark the world is, people's nerves cannot be stretched all the time, and they always need a place to relax.
And the entertainment industry can be said to be a huge profit.
The only thing to be careful is that this kind of business can easily arouse the jealousy of others.
With Chen Gou's current strength, if he really wants to develop, he may have to find a backer to join him for the time being...
You can hold a simple auction first. I have two things here that can be the finale auction items.
After Chen Gou finished speaking, he took out five small bottles of mother-of-pearl river water and the horn of Ruyi Zhenxian from the storage space.
These... are all adults obtained from the abyss world?
After seeing the attributes of all the items, Jianying was shocked. As long as these two items are well publicized, there is no problem in being the finale of a small auction.
Needless to say, the water of Zimu River is self-evident to the allure of certain groups of people, but the most sought after piece may still be the horn.
After all, it was cut from the head of the great monster in Journey to the West, and it is a top-level refining material. There will definitely be many refining masters competing for it.
I have to go to Kirishima as soon as possible to perform the mission of the Knights. The territory will be developed according to what I just said for the time being. All the money from the first auction will be used as start-up funds.
Next, Chen Gou discussed some major political matters with her, and then became the hands-off shopkeeper again.
In fact, in his vision, it would be best if the daughter king could preside over the internal affairs. Wouldn't it be easy for the queen of a country to govern a territory?
It's just that his relationship with the queen is still separated by a layer.
In addition, even if there is a fixed passage, the creatures in the abyss world cannot enter the Canglan world through the passage casually.
The stronger the strength, the higher the requirements for the stability of the passage, otherwise, forcing it through is like a seriously overweight train running on a bridge, and a little carelessness will be the result of collapsing with the passage.
Like the current Journey to the West passage, at least it has to be developed to be similar to the Hongmen in the biochemical abyss before it can allow those big monsters to pass.
However, those temporary random channels, if they are lucky enough to be strong enough, may allow those powerful law creatures to pass directly.
After resting for the night, Chen Gou took the boat alone to Wudao early the next morning.
Wudao and Huadao are both located in the sea area of Xingluoshadao. Coincidentally, the distance in a straight line is not too far, only more than 300 kilometers.
If the journey goes well, you will definitely be able to arrive within a day. This can be regarded as a close neighbor in the vast sea.
Chen Gou sat in the most spacious cabin on the ship, looked out the window at the calm sea, thought for a while, and then took out the mission scroll to check.
[Task: Solve the series of strange incidents in Fog City. 】
[Difficulty: Samsung]
[Location: Fog City, Fog Island Seashore, Star Luo Sea Area. 】

Fog, biological mutation... Could it be the fog in the American movie?
The movie fog is about a small town in the United States, a thick, unnaturally formed thick fog, almost surrounded the entire town in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, there is a terrifying and evil supernatural force hidden in the thick fog, not only people are being attacked, but all creatures are also attacked...
According to the special environment of Wudao, Chen Gou immediately thought of the fog in this movie.
But soon he temporarily ruled out this conjecture.
Because there is no saying that people will suddenly disappear for no reason in the movie fog, and the fog of Kirishima has existed for many years, and it is not always covered by dense fog that can't be seen, only at a certain fixed time every day. .
So, what is the source of all the strange things?
The more Chen Gou thought about it, the more he frowned. The most difficult thing to deal with was the unknown enemy. Otherwise, as long as he knew the name, it would be much easier to deal with.
In addition, the younger brother of Nuo Nan, a former member of the Changge team, was also one of the reasons why Chen Gou was worried.
A child, not a cat or a dog.
Since he agreed, he must take corresponding responsibilities.
