Red naturally noticed Lynn’s action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any unnecessary words, he moved his right hand and grasped the longsword at his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the watchful eyes of Lynn and Red, a pair of yellow and green beastly eyes appeared in the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed because they were moving, the two pairs of beastly eyes were constantly swaying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards who had been chatting noticed the beastly eyes too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all stood up, voices of warning rising from their mouths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are beasts!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Protect Master Lynn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the vigilant eyes of everyone, two robust wild wolves emerged from the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One wolf was entirely black, the other entirely white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn raised his eyebrows; it was the White Spirit Night he had adopted earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the guards holding weapons, White Spirit Night showed no fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing and recognizing Lynn, they opened their mouths, tongues hanging out, running toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ears perked, tails wagging, where was the demeanor of wild wolves?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were more like two tamed huskies...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the two wild wolves circling around Master Lynn, running loops around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, nudging him with their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards immediately understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn extended his right hand, petted the heads of Black Night and White Spirit, and asked Red, \"Weren’t these two being taken care of by Guy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did they end up here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been occupied with other matters in the territory, he indeed had somewhat neglected the affairs of breeding at the ranch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red spoke up, \"Maybe because they were worried about impacting the poultry and livestock at the ranch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So they let Black Night and White Spirit roam free?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed a very reasonable explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Black Night and White Spirit were wild wolves, they were more accustomed to living in the wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, Lynn recalled the scene he had caught sight of earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Night and White Spirit leading a pack of wild wolves at the edge of the forest...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Black Night and White Spirit could become the Wolf King of this forest, commanding all the wild wolves, it wouldn’t be bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least there would be no worry of wolf packs attacking townsmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if they could bring back some wild wolves or pups upon exchanging for the special building blueprint \"Wolf’s Den\" later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the \"Wolf’s Den\" to raise wolf pups, thus training a batch of wolf cavalry,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be the best scenario!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether for scouting or sentry duty, it would be an excellent choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After asking the cook to bring some meat to feed Black Night and White Spirit, Lynn let them leave the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn noticed, White Spirit Night did not go far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they continued patrolling around the camp, keeping guard for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lynn led Red and the others further into the forest,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his hunting skills continued to improve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hunting Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hunting Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hunting Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved his hand, releasing the triangular armor-piercing arrow from the bowstring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp whistling sound, the arrow shot towards a squirrel on the tree trunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed and accuracy of the arrow were astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The squirrel, mid-jump on the trunk, was instantly hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t even have time to utter a cry of pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire squirrel, carrying the arrow, fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, it fell among the dry leaves and grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ever-watchful White Spirit Night immediately stepped forward toward the prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a bit of searching among the dry leaves, White Spirit picked up the squirrel and brought it to Lynn, gently placing it at his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Black Night was no longer like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chasing after the prey Lynn hunted, wanting to eat it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just stood beside White Spirit, quietly waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winter had passed, spring had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White Spirit Night had not only grown significantly but seemed to have become smarter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He petted White Spirit’s head and had the guards put the squirrel away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since eating bear paws last time, they had been exploring the primordial forest for nearly five days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In those five days,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ore Vein Detector had alerted them twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time was for a small gold mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lynn led Red and the others to the marked location, they couldn’t find any gold mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out to be tens of meters underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn simply gave up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from open-pit mines, or those just beneath soft soil,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the current excavation conditions, they simply couldn’t dig it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second alert was for a small open-pit iron mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lynn arrived, he roughly estimated the range of the open-pit iron mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few dozen square meters of iron ore were exposed on the ground, most of it embedded in rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be mined, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They already had a large iron mine waiting for further excavation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This small open-pit iron mine could be kept as a backup for the future!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, with the Holographic Map to mark it, he could access it anytime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No worry about forgetting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from these two mine veins found,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these five days, they also hunted a group of twelve wild boars, large and small!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Acquiring meat exceeding a thousand pounds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Lynn found a bit disappointing was not finding several minerals he needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No gold or silver mines, no saltpeter or borax mines, let alone magic ore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sky gradually darkened, Lynn again ordered the guards to prepare to set up camp.\u003C\u002Fp>",932,"2026-05-29T04:51:13.023Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.989Z",1,"novelbin.me","953ed224ad30919834051fce1850f4b3ebc20a190327e1a6f6504d8b5377edca","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-539","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-537",979,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsystem-build-my-own-territory-cover.jpg"]
