Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Fallen Bandit Camp

[Moon Spring Water: The Moon Well produces 1.2L of Moon Spring Water daily, which possesses the power of moonlight, capable of healing injuries and restoring energy]

Zong Shen looked at the Moon Spring Water trickling from the Moon Well and nodded with satisfaction.

This is indeed a treasure.

Absolutely must not be lost.

If the Spring of the Moon Well skill is not activated, the Moon Well can only produce 50ml of spring water per hour, barely 1ml per minute.

In such a short time, the produced Moon Spring Water wasn't even enough for Zong Shen to take a sip.

Zong Shen decided to continue his treasure hunt outside.

At this moment, the Wolf Cavalry had not yet returned from their exploration.

Zong Shen could not just sit and wait.

As for those three foolish farmers, seeing Zong Shen digging the soil and summoning a Dark Night Female Hunter, they were so scared that they worked even harder.

The Dark Night Elf is one of the ancient and powerful races of this continent.

It belongs to one of the strong branches of the Elf Race.

Additionally, there are Light and Shadow Elves, Blood Elves, High Elves, and the half-fish, half-Elf Naga, among others.

However, with the end of the millennia-old epic war, the ancient races have gradually faded away, and now the continent has new rulers and different powers.

As indigenous farmers, Tiezhu and the others actually served this suddenly appearing half-baked Lord reluctantly.

But now, seeing Zong Shen summon the long-lost ancient military unit, the Dark Night Female Hunter, they couldn't help but look at him with new respect.

Respect comes from strength.

And now, Zong Shen had the power to make them completely submit.

[Due to your rapid rise in strength]

[Farmer Tiezhu's Loyalty to you has increased by 5 points, current Loyalty is 83]

[Farmer Er Gou's Loyalty to you has increased by 5 points, current Loyalty is 83]

[Farmer Gou Dan's Loyalty to you has increased by 5 points, current Loyalty is 83]

The loyalty of the three foolish farmers increased again.

In fact, ever since he chose his origin and appeared here, Zong Shen had already sensed that something was off about these three foolish farmers.

It felt like they were just humoring him.

As if someone had forced them to pledge allegiance.

It seems that when it's time to rest tonight, a talk with them is in order!

The time was still early.

The earlier excavation and treasure hunt had only taken about an hour or so.

Zong Shen decided to keep up the good work and continue exploring.

Now, there was still the issue of finding a safe water source.

The initial water resources consisted of only one clay pot.

Besides the three foolish farmers, Zong Shen also had Korby and Luna under his command.

Additionally, there was a Black Panther and a Giant Wolf to feed.

Although the Moon Well produced 1.2 liters of Moon Spring Water daily, using it for daily drinking would be too extravagant for Zong Shen.

This Moon Spring Water, if used properly, could definitely be a lifesaving resource.

Hence, finding a water source became an urgent task.

As for the territory, Zong Shen was not worried.

The three foolish farmers were excellent at escaping, and the territory was still under the three-day "beginner's protection period." As long as they fled into the courtyard, they could withstand any threat.

"Luna, let's go out for a walk."

"I want to find a safe water source for the territory."

Zong Shen mounted the Old Traveling Horse.

With 2 points in [Riding Skill], he could handle this somewhat aged horse.

Upon hearing this, Luna said nothing and simply placed one hand on her chest and bowed.

Riding a Black Panther, she followed Zong Shen out of the courtyard.

This was a vast grassland, with flat terrain and clear weather, allowing one to see the situation miles away at a glance.

Apart from some dense growth in the grassland, it was a wide-open area.

The grassland was sparsely dotted with trees.

Facing the main entrance directly.

Looking into the distance, one could seemingly see a continuous mountain range, but it was too far away for Zong Shen to see clearly.

This was the direction the Wolf Cavalry was exploring.

Thus, Zong Shen chose the opposite direction and headed toward the back of the courtyard.

That was the deep part of the grassland.

With Zong Shen's sight, there was no apparent situation in view.

However, Luna's vision was evidently better.

Just when Zong Shen was about to inquire with the guide module if there were any treasures nearby.

Luna had already noticed something.

"Lord, about thirty miles ahead, smoke from a bonfire is rising..."

"Oh? A bonfire?"

"Is it another Lord?"

Zong Shen asked, immediately perking up.

But Luna shook her head.

"No, those people are setting up simple tents, they should be refugees."

Upon hearing Luna's answer, Zong Shen felt a bit disappointed.

Nevertheless, he decided to take a look.

Even if they were refugees, they were indigenous to this world.

Zong Shen clamped the horse's sides, and the Traveling Horse trotted forward.

With a speed of 4, it was not slow.

Luna, riding the Black Panther, also followed behind Zong Shen at a trot.

After about half an hour.

Zong Shen finally arrived near the tattered little camp.

This camp was pitifully simple.

Three to five pieces of white canvas made up three to five simple tents.

In the center of the camp, a bonfire was burning.

A dozen or so raggedly dressed people sat around the bonfire, apparently roasting some kind of meat.

Each of them carried swords.

These swords were tattered and near the point of breaking.

Zong Shen even spotted someone with a rusty scythe among them.

It was as miserable as miserable could be.

Zong Shen had thought he was down and out until he saw their equipment and realized what being truly down and out meant.

Near this makeshift camp, piles of white bones were stacked.

Strange, very strange.

Each person's face bore a numb expression.

Suddenly, the Black Panther under Luna began to bar its teeth at the camp, appearing restless and uneasy.

"Lord, there is the scent of blood in the camp, a very strong scent of blood..."

Luna slightly furrowed her brow, her gaze vigilant as she looked at the strange camp.

Upon hearing Luna's words, Zong Shen narrowed his eyes.

Golden guide subtitles immediately appeared.

(These are a group of cruel roving bandits, their hearts completely fallen, recommended to annihilate or capture them all, you will gain a sum of resources and some unexpected rewards)

Zong Shen turned his head suddenly and asked.

"Luna, these are roving bandits, are you confident in dealing with them?"

Zong Shen turned and asked Luna.

If Luna couldn't handle these bandits, they would make a quick escape.

Then Luna's eyes sharpened, staring at these bandits, the look a hunter gives its prey.

"Not worth mentioning."

Upon hearing this, Zong Shen nodded.

"Then let's proceed."

The Dark Night Female Hunter Luna placed one hand on her chest.

"As you wish, great Lord!"

"My strength belongs to you!"
