Chapter 234: The Dwarf King Decides to Return to His Territory

Su Hao, sir, rest assured, we will definitely send as many people as possible to take charge of mining this energy crystal mine.

After hearing Su Hao's orders, Tie Gedua nodded without hesitation.

He immediately decided that, after returning later, he would arrange all of the tribe's members over eighty percent to come mine the ore, speeding up the energy crystal mining.

As long as enough energy crystals are mined, the dwarf race can obtain more purple gold coiling dragon bamboo and blazing flame fire dragon fruit.

With sufficient purple gold coiling dragon bamboo and blazing flame fire dragon fruit, dwarf race members who are close to or have reached the First Rank Supernatural will also gradually increase, and the mining and forging speeds will likewise increase.

Thus, the obtained purple gold coiling dragon bamboo and blazing flame fire dragon fruit become more, forming a virtuous cycle.

By the way, Su Hao sir, I will report this side's affairs to Lord Tie Huzi. To express the dwarf race's gratitude, Lord Tie Huzi wishes to come in person to thank you; I don't know if you, Su Hao sir, agree to this?

Of course no problem. When your dwarf king arrives, you let me know then, and I'll come over to conduct the next round of trade with you.

Su Hao nodded, and he was extremely in favor of the dwarf king coming in person.

According to Su Hao's original plan, it was to turn Tie Gedua's dwarf tribe into a forge factory dedicated to crafting supernatural equipment.

If the dwarf king could come in person and witness the changes Su Hao has brought to this tribe.

Perhaps no further words from Su Hao are needed; the dwarf king himself would conceive the idea of moving the capital to this tribe.

After all, the new world is now fraught with danger, and nothing is more important than safety.

Even the dwarf race's current capital could not possibly muster a guard of a thousand Third Rank Supernatural beings.

As long as the dwarf race's current capital holds no special significance for them.

Then, upon seeing the strength of this Third Rank guard, the dwarf king would be more likely to choose to move the capital to Tie Gedua's tribe.

However, to be safe, after a moment of silence, Su Hao solemnly instructed:

The dwarf king or any other dwarves who wish to come may do so; I will not interfere with how you distribute the purple gold coiling dragon bamboo and blazing flame fire dragon fruit, and even if they want to experience the solar smelter, that's fine.

But there are two points you need to remember: first, the purple gold coiling dragon bamboo and blazing flame fire dragon fruit I advanced to you are intended to let you mine energy crystals better and forge supernatural equipment.

Therefore, anyone who consumes the purple gold coiling dragon bamboo and blazing flame fire dragon fruit must stay and work here for a period until they create value equivalent to that of the bamboo and fruit, before they may leave.

Second, the forging techniques gathered at Iron Mountain Goat must not be shown to outsider dwarves, nor taught to them, unless they decide to settle here.

I think you should have given some irrelevant techniques to the dwarf king Tie Huzi, but I hope there won't be a next time.

Su Hao's tone was very gentle, like two friends chatting casually, but his attitude was extremely firm.

The reason he gave those forging techniques, the solar smelter, and advanced the blazing flame fire dragon fruit and purple gold coiling dragon bamboo to these dwarves was so that they would serve him.

Su Hao is no saint; if these dwarves cannot serve him, they might as well forget about receiving these benefits.

If any dwarf dares not to serve him and just freeloads these benefits, then sorry, Su Hao can only compensate the loss with that person's life.

Su Hao sir, rest assured, this will absolutely not happen, it will not happen!

Seeing Su Hao's smile, Tie Gedua's heart suddenly felt a chill.

Although the dwarf race is straightforward, it does not mean they lack brains.

How could Tie Gedua fail to hear the implied meaning of Su Hao's words?

At the same time he also understood that Su Hao gave them so many benefits precisely to better let the dwarves serve him.

If these dwarves cannot provide the service Su Hao needs, then they have no reason to exist.

Given Su Hao's demonstrated ability, let alone settling their dwarf tribe, even wiping out the entire dwarf race would pose no problem! Realizing this, Tie Gedua felt a chill rise upon hearing Su Hao's words.

He immediately made up his mind that, from now on, no matter what, he must not act arbitrarily and must report to Su Hao.

The first time this happens, Su Hao sir has a lot, can overlook this matter, but if it happens again……

Just thinking of that scene, Tie Gedua couldn't help but shiver, wishing to slap himself.

Back then, just giving Tie Huzi some blazing flame fire dragon fruit would have been fine; why did he carelessly send over a manual of forging techniques? He also felt some relief, glad that he only sent a basic forging techniques manual, for if he had sent advanced forging techniques, letting that book's contents spread, it would likely bring great disaster to the dwarf race.

If you can understand and come over, that would be best; I also don't want to lose the dwarf race as a partner.

Besides, the world is not peaceful now; when the dwarf king comes over, you must pay attention to safety.

Su Hao patted Tie Gedua's shoulder, then turned and mounted the pale bone dragon, leading his large army away from this ruin.

Now that matters here are settled, the dwarf race wanting to mine this energy crystal mine cannot be accomplished in a short time.

Staying here longer serves no purpose; it would be better to return to one's own territory to enjoy life and formulate future development plans.

Whoa——

Watching Su Hao's retreating back, Tie Gedua involuntarily exhaled a sigh of relief, only then realizing his back was drenched in cold sweat.

Although Su Hao always appeared calm, he still imposed great pressure on Tie Gedua.

After a while, Tie Gedua's mood calmed, and he hastily opened his communicator, called Dwarf King Tie Huzi, and repeated Su Hao's words verbatim.

……

After hearing Tie Gedua's recount, Tie Huzi remained silent for a long time, his heart also filled with lingering fear.

He still lacked an intuitive grasp of Su Hao's strength, but if things were truly as Tie Gedua said, Su Hao's subordinates command thousands of Third Rank Supernatural undead beings.

Moreover, he could use corpses to endlessly summon these undead beings; such power is unimaginable, wiping out the entire dwarf race would be easy. Although he had not yet witnessed it personally, he still harbored serious doubts about Su Hao's strength.

But to avoid irreversible consequences, after responding to Tie Gedua with a sentence, he summoned everyone who had read that manual.

He ordered them to strictly keep the manual's contents, not to leak even a bit, nor to use the techniques recorded therein.

Furthermore, he decided that, this time when going to Tie Gedua's tribe, he would also bring these people along.

On one hand, these people are renowned dwarf craftsmen; if Tie Gedua's tribe indeed possesses more, superior forging techniques, sending these craftsmen over can better improve forging skills.

On the other hand, these are people who have received benefits from Su Hao; as for how to resolve this incident, it would be better to let Su Hao handle it personally.

Whether they stay to work in Tie Gedua's tribe or swear never to use these forging techniques again, it would be better to let Su Hao handle it.

More importantly, Tie Huzi harbors an immature plan.

If all this is truly as Tie Gedua said, then for the dwarf race, and even for most of the races in this world, his tribe would be the safest place.

But seeing is not necessarily believing; that matter still requires long-term observation to be more secure.

Tie Huzi's current idea is that, if he brings the craftsmen over, they can stay and work in Tie Gedua's tribe, and can have these craftsmen take charge of observation.

If everything is indeed true, then he plans to move the dwarves' capital over.

Of course, all of this requires Su Hao's agreement first.

However, Tie Huzi believes that as long as the dwarves show enough value, Su Hao will surely agree to his proposal then.

Su Hao had no idea of Tie Huzi's thought; at that moment he was sitting on the back of the pale bone dragon, having spent most of the day, and returned to his territory once again.

Along the way, nothing unexpected happened; even the creatures on the road, whether fallen beings or normal species, didn't even dare to glance at them.

The oppressive pressure brought by the pale bone dragon was truly immense, and with the pale skeleton warriors and mages on their backs, even the most oblivious person lacked the courage to block their path.

After returning to his territory, the first thing Su Hao did was summon Hua Yao and the others to arrange future planting tasks.

Since both the dwarves and Crimson Herb needed the blazing flame dragon fruit, it became the top-priority extraordinary plant to cultivate, followed by purple gold coiling dragon bamboo, and finally spirit rice.

As for other extraordinary plants, just let them grow naturally.

Anyway, with plant growth agents and imperishable soil and other extraordinary items that accelerate plant growth, even without Hua Yao and the other flower spirits to tend them, as long as domestic robots handle daily watering and fertilizing.

The growth rate of these extraordinary plants can still be several times faster than under normal conditions.

Afterwards, Su Hao summoned Ling Xue'er to inquire about the status of wood and stone collection, as well as the search for Grandpa Andrew's thatched hut.

The speed of collecting wood and stone was beyond Su Hao's expectation; they could basically be gathered completely by tomorrow, and even if some mishaps occurred, they could be complete by the day after.

As for Grandpa Andrew's thatched hut, there is still no news at all, which leaves Su Hao feeling somewhat regretful.

However, rushing this won't help; even if a bounty is posted now and its amount increased within a day, the outcome wouldn't change.

After all, even if someone is tempted by the reward and has already started acting, just walking takes time, let alone exploring the perilous dark forest.

Therefore, no matter how anxious Su Hao gets, increasing the bounty now has no effect.

Rather than that, it's better to wait a few more days; if there's still no news about the thatched hut by then, increasing the bounty would not be too late.

Afterwards, Su Hao stopped thinking about it, went to the experimental base to check the proliferation of infinite cells and the replication of expanded muscles, then returned to his room to sleep.

With sufficient infected flesh, the infinite cells proliferate very quickly, and they have already filled several basements.

With enough infinite cells, the replication speed of bodily tissues also increases; consuming these replicated materials can summon tens of thousands of tyrannical demon oxen and even more demonic flame pumpkin heads.

Besides that, expanded muscles have already been replicated in about ten copies; once the synthesis count refreshes tomorrow, they can be synthesized.

In the laboratory, Su Hao also met Grandpa Andrew; regarding the new hell demon formula, they have already made some progress, estimating that it won't be long before they can produce stronger hell demons.

As for that, Su Hao did not urge him; after a brief exchange of professional jargon he couldn't understand at all, he stopped paying further attention to the matter.

He just needs to wait for the final result; as for the process, it's better not to think too much, since thinking about it is useless and he wouldn't understand anyway.

Before he knew it, it was already the next morning.

Su Hao woke up naturally from his sleep, stretched comfortably, and then took out three fire storage bags.

Bloodthirsty soul fire is a flame that can continuously expand and grow stronger, but because there is no suitable storage space, Su Hao must actively extinguish it after each battle.

If there were suitable storage space, Su Hao could continuously expand the scale of the bloodthirsty soul fire by feeding it blood.

It could even be used as a trump card, handed to Da Xiong Mao and the others, giving them more means to deal with the strong enemies encountered during territorial expansion.

Although synthesizing expanded muscles is also important, relatively speaking, synthesizing fire storage bags has a higher priority.

After all, in the coming period, Da Xiong Mao and the others' expansion tasks will be more demanding, while Su Hao himself has few combat tasks; what he needs to do is ensure the territory develops more stably.

"Synthesize!"

Since he had already made up his mind, Su Hao immediately hesitated no longer and used today's first Synthesis Heart.

Since these fire storage bags are merely second‑rank extraordinary items, in a moment the golden light of synthesis faded, and a somewhat larger fire storage bag appeared before Su Hao's eyes.
