Chapter 717: Treehouse

Su Sheng came to the town center and looked toward the Primordial Tree.

Swish~

The Primordial Tree's aerial roots swayed up and then extended down to Su Sheng's feet, forming a ladder.

Su Sheng didn't hesitate and went up directly, following the tree vine ladder of the Primordial Tree, and arrived at a small treehouse on the Primordial Tree.

YiSiLanDiEr was inside.

Before, Su Sheng had no idea of YiSiLanDiEr's true identity and had arranged a house for him near the town center.

Now thinking about it, it's likely that when the Primordial Tree reached its stage of evolution, YiSiLanDiEr moved up to live there.

"Explorer, you've come."

"Your Majesty YiSiLanDiEr, Your Majesty Iron Hammer."

Su Sheng spoke respectfully.

YiSiLanDiEr and Iron Hammer are both here.

However, YiSiLanDiEr has already returned to the form of that old scholar.

"No need to be so polite; it's really thanks to you, Explorer, that we elves have barely seen some hope." YiSiLanDiEr said with a smile.

"Yes, Explorer, it's also thanks to you that our dwarf clan now has a place to dwell." The Iron Hammer Dwarf King also spoke with a smile.

Now, the dwarf clan of the Yan Huang Base has surged from over a thousand to over three thousand.

During this time, wandering dwarves from outside have continually come to seek refuge.

After all, the dwarf king's influence still exists.

"Explorer, as I said, fortune and misfortune depend on each other; this time I reveal myself, and it will likely draw the attention of some folks."

"Still, this is at least human territory, so major issues need not be worried about, but we should still pay attention to some minor tactics."

YiSiLanDiEr looked at Su Sheng and said.

Su Sheng blinked at the words, then thought of something: "Is it the demon race?"

"Yes." YiSiLanDiEr nodded.

"The former Chi Yan City is considered the recent border with the Mo Jiang; be careful, there may be some small movements there."

The Iron Hammer Dwarf King also spoke.

Su Sheng nodded slightly: "Understood."

At the same time, Su Sheng felt a bit depressed.

How come I feel that this base of mine is somewhat disaster-prone?

When establishing the base before, it seemed to have attracted the attention of the undead, and now the demon race has also taken notice.

Really, what a fine bunch of companions.

"By the way, the Primordial Tree has just formed; although it's very weak, the essence of the elves is indeed real."

"If… I mean if, there are still wandering elves out there, they would likely be drawn by the elves' essence and come over here, which would be good."

YiSiLanDiEr hesitated a moment, then spoke.

"But I'm also not sure whether, aside from the fallen elves, there are still any elves existing in this world."

"After all… the Life Divine Tree has already been corrupted by demonic energy into a demon tree."

"Sigh…"

…

Su Sheng descended the rope ladder of the Primordial Tree with a strange expression.

"By the way, that girl with elf blood, when she reaches her third rebirth, have her come find me."

YiSiLanDiEr's voice came from the tree.

Su Sheng blinked, then realized this must be Huan Jie's opportunity.

…

The following game time was just continued leveling up.

As for repairing the base, the dwarves will naturally handle it; materials are not lacking in Yanhuang Town.

Earlier, during the New Year, the warehouse exchange offered discounts, and a bunch of people frantically farmed points.

The various building materials collected are enough to rebuild another Yanhuang Town.

In this siege battle, aside from the loss of catapults and town facilities,

over fourteen thousand people dropped a level.

Those who only lost one level were fine; some unlucky fellows lost two levels… which is basically equivalent to wasting this year's New Year buff.

However, the opposing side sacrificed even more this time.

The dropped equipment truly let the Yan Huang side make a huge windfall.

Moreover, these are all elite equipment, purchased after the capital investment behind the several major guilds.

The harvest of this battle's spoils is to compensate for member losses.

Su Sheng waved his hand directly, rewarding each person with a large sum of contribution points based on guild war contribution, doubling the previous point system.

Moreover, the equipment harvested from these guild wars is directly sold at 50% off!

Almost everyone this time can exchange for one or two of these pieces of equipment; individuals who hadn't spent much of their points before can even directly exchange for three.

Almost before the day's game time even ended, many members of Yan Huang had basically exchanged their spoils seven‑eight‑nine (i. e., mostly).

The mainstream are level fifty equipment.

Although the stats are quite good… the elite teams of the major guilds naturally can't be lacking.

But Su Sheng has no interest; his level is already far ahead by a gap.

Almost level 60!

Su Sheng has even started eyeing level 70 equipment.

But currently, the only level 70 equipment he has are some obtained from defeating those level 70 bosses for the Life God Stone earlier.

Because back then, the bosses they tackled were mostly normal-level, with only occasional one or two elite bosses.

So those level 70 equipment have rather ordinary stats; although equipped now, they are only slightly better than Su Sheng's individual pieces of gear.

But for just a few trivial things, wasting a Divine Craftsman Stone is not cost-effective.

So, in the short term…

Su Sheng also couldn't change equipment.

Better to level up first; he's just missing the last bit of experience to reach level 60.

Third Rebirth, Red Flame Lion, they're all waiting for him.

…

The next day.

Yanhuang Town remained open as usual.

In a short while, more players flooded into Yanhuang Town.

They weren't in a rush to go out and level up; instead, they ran around everywhere inside Yanhuang Town.

Su Sheng also couldn't be bothered to deal with those people.

It's obvious those people just wanted to see what a humanoid overlord-level boss looks like.

But unfortunately, they couldn't see it.

The dense foliage of the Primordial Tree above his head; if Su Sheng weren't the outpost lord, he wouldn't have noticed YiSiLanDiEr's treehouse.

However, quite a few players did see a War Puppet on patrol.

In non-combat state, the War Puppet's consumption is very low.

Yesterday's battle caused some damage, but it has already been repaired.

According to the Iron Hammer Dwarf King, as long as the prototype core isn't broken and materials are sufficient, it can be repaired anytime.

Su Sheng directly assigned it to patrol.

Yanhuang Town belongs to the wilderness outpost, although its interior is also a safety zone.

But outside, wild monsters will often wander over and attack the city walls.

Previously, Yanhuang had to assign some players specifically to patrol… of course with rotations, and also guild contribution points.

But now, there is a War Puppet.

Then there's no need for a patrol team; those wild monsters around the outpost can't withstand a few hits from the War Puppet.

After looking around, there was nothing to find.

All the players thus lost interest.

Su Sheng also didn't care, continued leveling,

Level up!

Now hurry up and reach Third Rebirth; that's also the Yanhuang Guild's current main task.

But…

Just as Su Sheng was immersed in leveling, suddenly a message came, leaving him stunned for a while.

Wow…

Really a good teammate…
