Piercing Through The Soul Lord Of The Pit

Chapter 9: Demon's Lair

When Wu Feng killed the first boss, it dropped a green building blueprint, which had a decent drop rate. However, the drop rate for green items from blue bosses was not as high.

In addition to the building blueprint, the boss also dropped one green summoning scroll and one green resource crystal.

Wu Feng immediately had someone collect the drops from other monsters. Coincidentally, the duration of the challenge ended, so Wu Feng had a great harvest this time!

[Ding... Successfully passed the Crystal Challenge, obtained 500 Magic Crystals and 2 Challenge Points.]

In the end, Wu Feng obtained 1200 Magic Crystals from the Crystal Challenge, as well as 5 white summoning scrolls, 1 green summoning scroll, 4 white treasure chest keys, 1 green crystal, and 7 white crystals.

With his own and Virgo's level up, these resources were enough to significantly improve his strength.

However, what Wu Feng was most satisfied with was the green building blueprint dropped by the boss. This was exactly what Wu Feng needed.

Goblin Shop Blueprint: Fine quality, requires 800 Magic Crystals, 5 units of wood, and 5 units of stone to build the Goblin Shop. This building can be used to purchase various items from merchants. [Click to view detailed information.]

With this shop blueprint, Wu Feng could recruit the corresponding merchant, most likely a goblin merchant.

Wu Feng really wanted to build this shop immediately to buy some resource crystals and treasure chest keys, but he was still lacking a bit of wood and stone.

Fortunately, he already had 9 white crystals and 1 green crystal, so he could try his luck again.

However, because the crystals were of different levels, he couldn't do a 10-pull. Wu Feng decided to do single pulls this time to see the effect.

The white crystal had a 60% chance of obtaining 10-30 Magic Crystals, a 30% chance of obtaining 1-3 units of common quality resources, and a 10% chance of obtaining 4-10 units of common quality resources.

The returns from white crystals were quite different from green crystals.

Wu Feng saved the green crystal for last. With the previous 9 white crystals, he obtained a total of 126 Magic Crystals, 4 units of wood, and 3 units of stone, which were all normal returns.

When he pulled the 10th green crystal, he triggered "Piercing through the Soul" again! It seemed that it really triggered every 10 pulls.

[Ding... Ten-pull (resource crystal) successful, triggering the talent "Piercing through the Soul." Your 67 Magic Crystals have increased in quality by 1 level, and you obtained 670 Magic Crystals.]

Wu Feng's eyes lit up. "So, after pulling a crystal, the quality increases by 10 times!"

Unlike other items, crystals didn't have different qualities. "Piercing through the Soul" simply multiplied the quantity by 10. If he did a hundred-pull, it would be 100 times. This meant that obtaining Magic Crystals was really efficient.

With this batch of resource crystals, Wu Feng had enough resources. He immediately had the 7 farmers come over to build the Goblin Shop.

Because the farm had already been built, Wu Feng could recruit more farmers from there.

Farm: Common building (Fine quality), occupying an area of 20 meters by 20 meters, can accommodate 10 farmers.

Additional abilities: Cultivate farmland, recruit farmers.

Cultivate farmland: Requires 100 Magic Crystals to cultivate 1 acre of common farmland, which can grow rice and yield food (harvested every 10 days).

Recruit farmers: Requires 50 Magic Crystals to recruit 1 farmer (common civilian) who is skilled in farming and has basic life skills. A farm can recruit up to 5 farmers per day.

The main purpose of the farm was to cultivate farmland and have the farmers work on it. The farmland could produce food, and in general, a territory needed a certain amount of farmland to ensure a stable food supply.

For now, there were no beasts around Wu Feng's territory, so they couldn't hunt for meat. The lord and the people could only eat rice and wild vegetables.

Because there was a certain amount of grain, Wu Feng didn't rush to cultivate farmland. Besides, his farmers still had to go and repair the Goblin Store.

So Wu Feng first recruited five farmers today and let them go to repair the Goblin Store as well.

With the increase of seven farmers to twelve, the time it took to build the Goblin Store decreased from four hours to three hours. This building was much more complex than the farm, so it took longer.

"After three hours, we can start shopping? Not bad!" Wu Feng looked at the Goblin Store rising from the ground, located one grid away from the Ballista Tower, and he was in a good mood.

After upgrading, his purification authority increased from 1 to 4, allowing Wu Feng to purify three more units of territory. So Wu Feng purified the two territories to the south and north.

Considering the small demons coming from the northwest, Wu Feng's third purification was the plot of land in the northwest. His number of territories increased to seven, and their shape became irregular.

Wu Feng wasn't a perfectionist, so he didn't care about these things. He touched his chin and gave Virgo the latest command: "Virgo, take your subordinates and explore the northwest."

"If you encounter danger, come back immediately. Try not to take risks!"

After the crystal challenge ended, Virgo found that she had more than enough Goblin Camps to brush with her group of Star Towers. She was feeling bored when she received Wu Feng's command, so she immediately commanded 14 goblins to charge towards the northwest.

The goblins under Virgo's command were all different, some fat and some thin. She didn't think highly of this group of misfits, but since she had no choice, she could only lead them into battle.

After running nearly a kilometer, Virgo encountered the small demons. Her eyes lit up and she immediately eliminated her goblin subordinates and replaced them with 13 small demons.

With three more servants than before, Virgo's controllable Common units increased as well. She also gained skill points to upgrade her own skills.

With each level-up, Virgo's strength increased significantly. The level of the small demons was also level 5, making them stronger and improving her overall combat power.

The only goblin warrior was ultimately not replaced by Virgo.

In this way, Virgo quickly led the team closer to the source of the refreshed small demons. She encountered several waves of small demons, all of which she easily wiped out with chain lightning. She swept through to a cave, fully demonstrating the strength of a Perfect-level hero.

"It's a miniature demon nest! Can I destroy the demon nest, my lord?"

Virgo immediately reported the situation to Wu Feng, who had already seen the demon nest through her perspective. It seemed that Virgo could handle this level of demon nest.

Demon Nest: Level 5 monster nest (miniature), produces level 5 small demons, with a very small chance of producing elites and bosses.

Wu Feng gave a direct order, "No need to rush to destroy it. You brush the small demon nest, and the group of Star Towers will brush the Goblin Camp. The division of labor is clear!"

Virgo was also happy this time. The lord really valued her and gave her the higher-level demon nest to brush!

Wu Feng paid attention to Virgo and found that Holy Succubus brushing small demons was simply cheating. She let her servants take the lead and she attacked from behind.

When a servant died, she immediately seduced one from the small demons. As long as the level was not more than 10 levels higher than hers and not female, they would be killed by her trick!

Virgo could easily brush the demon nest without much pressure.

With this momentum, Wu Feng could obtain a large amount of resources and also allow Virgo to level up quickly. This was probably something that most lords couldn't achieve at this stage.

After all, there weren't many lords nowadays who had the configuration of an orange hero + orange tower defense. Even with two nests to brush, it couldn't be done with a purple hero + purple tower defense.

After all, if Virgo didn't have Pure Lust Temptation, she wouldn't be able to solo the demon nest.

"Hmm, brushing two monster nests together, I've already gathered 10 summoning scrolls."
