Chapter 1387-1391

Chapter 1387: Man-Eating Vine

Out of the various creatures that Great Qin nurtured, the Wyverns were the highest tier and were a type of dragon, so they were much stronger than other creatures of this same level. Higher-tier creatures were not so easy to obtain, and they usually required Dens.

This would rely on Zhao Fu's luck in the future; he had no way of obtaining any right now. If he obtained higher-level Dens, he could only put them away for now.

Zhao Fu came to the Sunlight Gemstone mine. It was a large, open mine. Black gemstones covered the face of the mountain and all light that came near was absorbed by the gemstones.

Zhao Fu felt quite surprised; these Sunlight Gemstones were different than what he had expected. He had thought that they would be a shining, glowing gemstone.

Following this, Zhao Fu ordered the soldiers to start to construct defensive structures. This place was a distance away from Great Qin's base, and even though they could travel to and fro using teleportation channels, they still needed some defenses to ensure the safety of the soldiers opening up the mine.

Looking at the Sunlight Gemstones, Zhao Fu smiled. With these Sunlight Gemstones, Great Qin would not have to fear those eight suns and would no longer be restricted by the sunlight. They could now travel to further places.

At the same time, Great Qin had obtained an ocean of points after killing a large number of Insects and could obtain many good items. However, Zhao Fu planned to save the points for now and spend them at key moments.

After dealing with these matters, Zhao Fu returned to Great Qin's base. The first thing he did was discuss with his subordinates about building defenses. Great Qin's position was quite dangerous, and only by building defenses would they be safe.

The people in the surroundings had not yet discovered Great Qin's base, but they would definitely discover it in the future; this was undoubtable.

Just tall City Walls could not stop a large-scale Insect tide. Zhao Fu planned to build some deep trenches outside the City Walls that were 1,000 meters wide and thousands of meters deep, preferably within attacking range.

These trenches would be able to slow down a charge, and the Insects that charged up would fall down and die. Great Qin's people could stand on the City Walls and attack, making defending quite favorable.

As for the flying Insects, Zhao Fu set up ballistae on the City Walls to defend against aerial attacks.

Because Hong Mei was an Outer World person, Zhao Fu had asked for her ideas and had benefitted greatly. Hong Mei had said that a certain type of plant would be quite useful.

The plant was called Man-Eating Vine. They would sometimes be on the ground and would sometimes be underground. When people came close, they would quickly bind up the people and their sharp teeth would stab into the people's bodies and devour their blood and flesh. They would consume the people in a matter of moments, leaving behind just the bones.

Hong Mei recommended planting a large number of Man-Eating Vines around the City Walls, and this would have a powerful effect. Also, in order to avoid the Man-Eating Vines from attacking the soldiers, they would just have to feed the vines some of the soldiers' blood from time to time.

Moreover, Hong Mei knew where they could find a large number of Man-Eating Vines. There was also an extremely terrifying Man-Eating Vine Demon - each vine that it grew was three meters thick and was tougher than steel. It had many vines and could cover hundreds of kilometers.

A single Man-Eating Vine Demon could easily devour one million Insects and was incredibly terrifying. That place had become a forbidden area and practically no one dared to go there.
