mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Kuisi’s management, he hadn’t visited the three major mines for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, everything was running normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, with more labor invested, the workers’ techniques became increasingly proficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Production efficiency also improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the workers’ attentive gazes, Lynn inspected around for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he dismounted from Mo Ying’s horseback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Red and more than thirty others, he ventured into the unpaved primordial forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s already the end of May, approaching June.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chilling cold within the depths of the forest remained unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the occasional mountain breeze, and the surrounding sounds of strange beasts calling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forest’s eerie tranquility grew even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A team was weaving between trees large enough for several people to embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six men clad in composite armor, holding round shields with their left hands and iron spears with their right, scanned the surroundings vigilantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearing the way for their Master Lynn, searching for prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking in the middle, Lynn looked at the ground covered with layers of leaves and decomposing soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the tree roots nearly thicker than his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but furrow his brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the open-pit iron mine to the natural soda and saltpeter, there are still dozens of miles!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrain ahead is so complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanting to pave the road means cutting down these towering ancient trees and digging out the intricate, enormous tree roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s akin to forcibly leveling out a road within the primordial forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difficulty is too great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To speed up the transportation of natural soda and saltpeter, this stretch needs to be fully paved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn and his group were hunting while constantly heading deeper into the forest as the day darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until before nightfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn arrived near the natural soda beds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the sky gradually darken, he summoned the guards to set up camp on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time they camped here, there was a fairly open space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even on the ground, there were signs of past fires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the support of the guards and cooks, a bonfire slowly ignited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bright light gradually dispelled the cold and darkness of the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flickering warm yellow flames danced continuously on everyone’s faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking the wooden chair handed to him by Red, Lynn placed it by the fire and sat down, bending forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was all about traversing the forest, used entirely for traveling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main issue was the forest paths being too rugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This reinforced his conviction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the expansion of the red brick house residential area is complete, he needs to immediately deploy a group of peasants to cut down trees and pave the road!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lynn contemplated this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards set up the tents, and a few accompanying cooks began cooking dinner for the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Ore Vein Detector did not detect any minerals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, they hunted a lone foraging wild boar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being handled by the cooks, it began roasting by the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn’s gaze shifted, except for four or five guards patrolling the perimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining guards gathered around the fire, roasting themselves and chatting casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were no strangers to following Lynn and Red into the forest to hunt and explore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, whether it was their expressions, tent setups, or guard patrols, they appeared at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this forest, there wouldn’t be any enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greatest danger was poisonous insects and fierce beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in front of nearly thirty fully armed guards, even a beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could be effortlessly subdued!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are not what they were before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A herd of wild boars, a pack of wolves almost pushed them to the brink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even had to find a crack in the mountain to defend and counterattack, relying on the terrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hand holding a wine cup stretched out before Lynn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to look, it was Red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red explained, \"Master, drink a little wine, it’ll warm you up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Camping in the forest at night, the dampness is heavy, easy to fall sick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn responded, taking the cup and drained it in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he swallowed, an immediate warmth and comfort spread through his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn raised his eyebrows, subconsciously exhaled a breath of alcohol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Red, needing no reminder from Lynn, picked up the bottle and refilled his cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time slowly passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rich aroma of meat permeated and spread throughout the camp, creeping into everyone’s nostrils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wild boar on the flame had been roasted to a golden brown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One droplet of oil after another kept flowing out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reflecting unusual light under the fire’s glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few cooks worked together to take the boar down, placed it on the table, and began cutting it into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cook came to Lynn with a plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He respectfully introduced it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, this is pork shoulder, fresh and juicy, neither dry nor tough; this is pork ribs, moist meat, savory and tender; this is pork hind leg...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn nodded, \"Let them all eat. At noon, we only had some bread, they must be hungry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",865,"2026-05-29T04:51:14.649Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.989Z",1,"novelbin.me","9748c751e4cdffa119d2b4ef7b3abf14a4e62ce60c22dc39622962bbcd4f53a6","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-683","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-681",979,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsystem-build-my-own-territory-cover.jpg"]
