Richard had to take a few deep breaths to calm himself.
The void sandworm’s future was full of hope.
After his senses returned, he looked at the larvae trying to approach him and express their affection. He immediately released his power and comforted these restless sandworms.
He had no interest in playing tag with the other party… This thing can eat people.
He waved his hand after he thought for a moment, and the sand on the ground surged up.
It wrapped around the sandworms and let them float in the air.
Then, he went to the front yard.
At this time, the residents removed the magic plants fixed on the back of the skeleton blood dragon.
He picked some flowing light gra.s.s that could preserve corpses and magic plants that could create ice. He took them with the sandworm to fly away from the territory.
To the north, past the agricultural area, where the land of quicksand was.
Richard descended from the sky at the center of the G.o.d’s ancient tree.
He waved his hand and placed the sandworm in the quicksand near the G.o.d’s ancient tree.
“Treebeard, take care of these sandworms. Don’t let them leave the land of quicksand.
“In addition, you can let them hunt some monsters trapped in the quicksand under safe circ.u.mstances.”
As Richard spoke, he gestured to the dark golden rune-engraved void sandworm.
“This sandworm will automatically devour void energy to grow.
“Don’t let it eat other food. It will affect its potential.”
The G.o.d’s ancient tree’s face that grew on the twisted trunk immediately looked at the sandworm.
“Yes, Lord…”
Richard gestured to the dozens of magic plants around him after he gave his orders.
“These two magic plants have remarkable effects. The flowing light gra.s.s can keep a corpse from rotting for half a month, and the one here can make hard ice.
“In the future, we will use these two magic plants to preserve the high-level field troops we obtain in the land of quicksand. Gunter and the others can use them to recruit mummies.”
The land of quicksand had the G.o.d’s ancient tree as bait, and it had already become a tremendous trap.
Every day, he would gain quite a bit.
Some high-level corpses might not be substantial to the G.o.d’s ancient tree, but the city can use them to recruit blood mummies of higher levels.
As Richard spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and continued to urge.
“These magic plants live in a low-light environment for a long time. They might not be suitable for exposure to the sun.
“Expand an underground s.p.a.ce under the roots to plant them.
“This way, we can protect these magic plants from battle destruction.”
This request was a piece of cake to the G.o.d’s ancient tree that could control quicksand.
“As you wish.”
Richard’s body glowed with a yellow light after he warned.
He gave the Sand Transformation skill to the sandworm babies.
They immediately mastered the ability of Sand Transformation, although they were still in the larva stage.
After Richard told them to listen to the G.o.d’s ancient tree in his mind, he let these seven to eight meters long larvae play by themselves.
Sandworms were indeed creatures born for the desert.
These larvae that had just broken out of their sh.e.l.ls were like swimming fish. They burrowed into the sand and left traces in the quicksand.
And the quicksand that could sink into ordinary life forms posed no threat to them.
Richard ignored the sandworm babies.
Now, they also had a vast amount of power in their bodies. But they could not use them at all. They would only be of great use when they grew up.
He opened the attribute panel of the G.o.d’s ancient tree of divine sins and glanced.
The number of wasps that the boss had hatched exceeded 2000.
However, most were out hunting for it and did not stay on the tree crown.
“Treebeard, speed up the hatching of the venomous wasps. I need you to increase the number of wasps by 3000 before the 15th.”
He said with hope.
“You can store energy in the ground, so you have to kill as many wild monsters as possible during this time and fill the surrounding ground with energy. We are about to encounter an unprecedented battle.”
As far as Richard was concerned, the G.o.d’s ancient tree’s most freakish attribute wasn’t just its terrifying battle power.
And that almost inexhaustible power.
The ability to store energy on earth one could describe as a statement.
Back then, this characteristic had almost caused him to collapse.
Now that he had the land of quicksand to collect prey for him, he had no intention of strengthening this characteristic.
Richard didn’t stay any longer after he gave the orders. He got up and returned to Twilight City.
There was the G.o.d’s ancient tree that guarded this direction. So he was very at ease.
The only pity was that the sandworms that he had high hopes for would not be of much use when the instance dungeon opened.
They were still in the larva stage, and their power was far from enough.
Back at the territory.
Richard took out the unique treasure that [Where’s Your F*cking Italian Cannon] gave him–the city wall.
This thing required a total of 2 million units of stone to place.
But fortunately, this harvest had made him rich like never before.
With money, one’s backbone would be mighty.
[Ding~ Do you wish to spend 2 million units of stone to place the treasure–city wall?]
Confirmation.
The moment he made his choice.
The stone on the attribute panel immediately dropped by 2000000 units.
The mini city wall in his hand suddenly shattered like a gla.s.s panel. It turned into a stream of light that flowed into the surroundings of Twilight City.
Then, under the shocked gazes of the territory’s residents.
‘Boom! Boom!’
The earth rumbled.
Like a tree that sprouted in spring, a wall made of giant stones grew out of the endless sand.
The city wall had grown out of the ground.
Shock shrouded the eyes of the residents.
And this was only the beginning.
The city wall began to rise rapidly.
Five meters, ten meters, fifteen meters… It only stopped when it reached twenty meters.
When the residents heard the commotion, they came out of their houses and looked at the towering city walls. Their mouths were agape, and their eyes were about to pop out.
“G.o.ds above, w-what am I seeing?!!”
“This, this is impossible! We can build the city wall out of thin air!”
“What a miracle! It must be a gift from the G.o.ds!”
“My Lord, my Lord created this!!”
A child’s surprised shout made the surrounding people subconsciously turn their heads and see the heroic figure.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes flared with pa.s.sion. They suddenly knelt on one knee with their hands on their chests.
They used the most humble att.i.tude to express their inner emotions.
They expressed their worship and fanaticism for the ruler.
Richard stood in the middle, and the residents from the other streets knelt immediately.
Even the residents who didn’t see Richard did the same.
The scene gave people an inexplicable strong shock.
Richard looked around. His heart raced.
The city wall represented safety and hope in the “Shining Era”. It was not something one could explain with a few words.
Twilight City would no longer be an unremarkable territory from then on.
They could call this territory a city–with its city walls.
Richard opened the attribute panel.
[City Wall]
[Level: Ordinary (Can level up along with the territory’s level. The next level requires 1 million units of stone)]
[Special Characteristics: 20 meters high, 10 meters wide, 30 degrees of st.u.r.diness]
[Skill: Tenacity]
[Increases the strength and defense of the city guards by 20%.]
[Description: A city wall with decent defense.]
He had an additional skill that could increase the battle power of the troop. It was much better than the city wall construction blueprints he had seen in the [Trade Market] that had no attributes.
[Where’s Your F*cking Italian Cannon] was his lucky charm.
