Just like Chen Heng had expected, things went quite smoothly.
The hunters who risked coming to the Wastelands for profits would naturally take risks for greater profits.
After all, the profits he offered were quite high.
Because the Wastelands was where the Kobolds lived, they could easily obtain these resources.
However, they were not very useful to the Kobolds, whereas they were very valuable to the humans.
These things could be used to have humans work for them.
As for whether or not these humans would take the bait, Chen Heng was not worried.
"Have those two humans left?" Chen Heng smiled as he looked at the guard in front of him.
"Yes," Hechi nodded, "according to your orders, I sent a team of warriors to escort them out of this region."
"Very good," Chen Heng nodded, "send some warriors to explore a path to the south."
Helu and k.u.mir had greatly helped Chen Heng.
Putting aside the resources they could bring in the future, the biggest benefit that Chen Heng had received from them was that they had helped him figure out where he was.
According to Helu and k.u.mir, he was within the Wastelands and was not too far away from the Kalo Kingdom. Right now, he was to the north of the Qika Kingdom and the Kalo Kingdom.
Since that was the case, he could begin to explore southwards.
That way, they would be able to come closer to the human world.
This would allow them to borrow the power of humans to develop.
At the same time, he would be able to get closer to his main body.
As such, Chen Heng made this his plan for the time being.
Now, they just had to wait for Helu and k.u.mir to return.
Chen Heng had requested them to bring all kinds of seeds next time.
When that time came, they would be able to plant high-yield crops.
After all, the plants in the wilderness could not compare to the crops that had been cultivated generation after generation, whether it be in terms of yield or stability.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, it would take an incredibly long time and much effort to develop suitable crops.
As such, Chen Heng requested some crops that had already been developed and had good yields.
Only with those things could the tribe continue to develop.
"Hopefully those two return soon," Chen Heng thought to himself.
"That"s right, how is the situation in the tribe to the north?" Chen Heng thought for a moment before asking.
"They still seem to be the same as before," Hechi said as he shook his head, "We"ll occasionally see some Beastmen, but there is not much else."
"Is that so…"
Hearing this, Chen Heng nodded, "We should make preparations then. Soon, we"ll go over and deal with those Beastmen."
Hearing this, Hechi immediately looked incredibly excited, and his body began to tremble.
The reason why the Kobold tribe had relocated was to avoid that Beastman tribe.
Now, in just a few months, the Kobold tribe"s strength had greatly changed.
By now, they could get rid of those Beastmen.
Thinking to there, Hechi felt the urge to howl in excitement.
Seeing him like this, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head and left.
Following this, he came to a secret location.
There were a few Kobold warriors standing guard there, and seeing Chen Heng"s figure, they immediately looked at him respectfully and excitedly.
"Chief…" They spoke in the Kobold language.
Chen Heng looked at them and nodded before walking forwards.
The large doors ahead slowly opened, revealing what was within.
Behind the large doors were large eggs—they were all Kobold eggs.
During these few months, some Kobolds had become pregnant and had given birth to some eggs.
Under Chen Heng"s command, the Kobold eggs were all sent here to be protected and nurtured.
It was indeed for protection but also to make Chen Heng"s research more convenient.
After walking in, Chen Heng did some check-ups.
"Looks like the experiment is still going smoothly…" he thought as he looked at the patterns on the eggs.
The Kobold race was quite strange.
Legends said that this race was actually descended from dragons and had the bloodline of dragons.
However, most races with the bloodlines of dragons had incredibly powerful bloodlines and incredible power.
However, that was not the case for the Kobolds.
Not only were the Kobolds not powerful, but they were also incredibly frail and weak and could not even compare to Beastmen.
Moreover, there were many of them, and they could be found everywhere.
How could they be the descendants of dragons?
However, within the Kobold race, there would occasionally be exceptional individuals, including Dragon Warlocks who had awakened the dragon bloodline.
This kind of thing made everyone feel quite confused.
Perhaps Kobolds really did have dragon bloodlines, but they were incredibly weak.
In the past, Chen Heng did not know anything about Kobolds, and only after becoming a Kobold had he learned much about them.
From how he saw it, Kobolds were indeed incredibly weak and stupid.
The only thing exceptional about them was their vitality and reproductive abilities.
If that was not the case, they would not have lasted until now.
As such, from how Chen Heng saw it, it was indeed possible that the Kobolds had dragon bloodlines.
However, only a minority of Kobolds had this bloodline, such as Hechi.
He looked like he had awakened a portion of the dragon bloodline. Even though he had not become a Dragon Warlock, his body was exceptionally strong, and even an elite human warrior might not be a match for him.
Apart from this, Chen Heng himself was an example.
In the past, he had used slaughtering energy to help this body grow and improve its potential.
After a certain point, the potential within him had been unleashed, and a new energy appeared in his body.
This was similar to the Fire G.o.d"s bloodline in Chen Heng"s body, and there also seemed to be a bloodline energy within Kalunu"s body.
Perhaps this bloodline energy could not compare to a divine bloodline, but from what Chen Heng could sense, it was quite powerful.
Its quality was most likely quite high.
The origin of this bloodline was most likely quite powerful.
With this kind of evidence, Chen Heng felt that it was quite possible that Kobolds really were descended from dragons.
After coming to this conclusion, Chen Heng began to think to himself.
How could he stimulate the bloodline energy in ordinary Kobolds" bodies and make them stronger?
Even though Kobolds" reproductive abilities were quite powerful, individual Kobolds were too weak.
They could not compare to Beastmen or humans even after training.
After all, humans could also train themselves and become stronger as well.
However, if he could stimulate the dragon bloodline in Kobolds" bodies, then things would be different.
The value of bloodlines could not be ignored.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, if one awakened their bloodline, not only would their strength become stronger, but their potential would also increase.
An example was Aktor"s body.
Aktor"s body had very limited potential before, and he could not even awaken life power.
However, after awakening the Divine Bloodline, his potential quickly increased, and he had developed talent for both the Sorcerer and Knight systems.
It could be said that bloodline affects one"s potential and future.
Compared to other creatures, Kobolds possessing dragon bloodlines was an advantage.
If he could find some way to stimulate the dragon bloodline within Kobold"s bodies, it would be equivalent to unlocking a secret treasure.
This was incredibly important.
As such, after realizing this, Chen Heng began to do research.
His initial research was on the Kobold eggs.
All Kobolds were born from eggs, just like this world"s dragons.
In a sense, this was evidence pointing to that Kobolds really were descended from dragons.
After doing some research, Chen Heng had made some discoveries.
"The patterns on Kobold eggs seem to represent the strength of their bloodlines…" Chen Heng thought to himself as he looked at the eggs.
Among Kobold eggs that had hatched at the same time, eggs with more complex patterns usually resulted in Kobolds with stronger bloodlines.
This had been determined before these Kobolds had even been born.
After those Kobolds were born, the differences between them would become more and more evident.
At the same time, the patterns on the eggs were determined by the parents.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, the more outstanding the Kobold parents were, the more complex the patterns on their eggs would be.
This was the first thing Chen Heng had discovered.
Evidently, the patterns on Kobold eggs were connected to Kobold bloodlines.
Following this line of thinking, Chen Heng could have outstanding Kobolds mate with each other, pa.s.sing on the strong bloodlines, so that perhaps Dragon Warlocks might appear in the future.
This was the path that bloodline families walked.
This world"s bloodline families, including Aktor"s Hatim family, married within the family to preserve their bloodline.
This made it so that the bloodline did not become weaker and weaker by generation.
If Chen Heng just wanted to nurture Dragon Warlocks, he could use this method.
It was just that that was not Chen Heng"s only goal.
What he wanted was something that the whole Kobold race could use.
