Chapter 472: Chapter 473: All-out Attack on Dongling Mountains
In March of the second year of Huaxia, Huaxia's annual plan was issued to the three major courtyards, and a large amount of funds were sent to the six major urban areas and various departments, and everyone began to get busy.
Hua Kai has been paying attention to the news of King Yan. The major first-class families all have their own secrets. King Zhao can give up the entire family so simply to get out. There must be something big to do, but Yan has not heard from King Yan's return.
In the Dongling Mountains 200 miles west of Xiacheng, Hua Kai was using the [Mountain and River Map] to replace the previously transformed mountains with flat land. Some wild beasts saw that the entire Tianmai was shaking violently, and all fled into the mountains and forests.
After all the mountain transformations were completed, Tang Lei led more than a thousand [Undead Legion] soldiers into the mountains and forests. Although only 500 of the more than a thousand people completed the job transfer, the cooperation of a thousand people was much stronger than that of 500 people.
Behind the five hundred people were more than 20,000 members of the Kirin Corps. They followed the [Undead Corps] and surrounded and killed all the wild beasts and savage beasts. There were also militiamen behind them who were specifically sending the wild beast corpses, spiritual wood, spiritual medicine, and strange stones back to Xiacheng. Although the search area was not very large every day, the harvest from such a detailed search was not bad. Every day, there were spiritual medicines or strange stones harvested, and there were quite a few spiritual woods, at least thousands of gold.
"Brother, there seems to be something unusual ahead!" Hua Mo still liked to call Hua Kai brother when he was alone with him.
"It should be a primary demon beast, in that mountain, let everyone stay away." Hua Kai said to Hua Mo.
After Hua Kai finished speaking, he put his mental power into the [Mountain and River Map]. Now Hua Mo was responsible for putting all the terrain into the [Mountain and River Map]. Hua Kai's mental power was strong and specialized in transforming the terrain, so they only advanced three to five miles a day, which was the fastest speed.
[Undead Legion] stopped and was two miles away from the distant mountain. The mountain began to sink rapidly, and soon a mountain range became flat. A white mongoose-like monster suddenly escaped from the ground. The mongoose felt that the Undead Legion and Hua Mo were outnumbered, so it ran to the western mountain. However, just after escaping for more than a mile, its body suddenly stopped in the air. When the mongoose monster found that it was imprisoned by a strong will, a spear had pierced its head.
"The skin of this monster should be able to make a top-grade leather armor of the sixth grade. The meat cannot be eaten, but the inner elixir can be used to refine a furnace of elixir. The bones can also be refined into some purple gold. This time, the harvest is at least 7,000 gold." Hua Kai came to Hua Mo and said with a smile.
Last year, Hua Kai killed 31 primary monsters and 3 intermediate monsters. After the bodies were cut up, the inner elixir was used to refine 118 elixirs that increase willpower. The fur was made into armor, the tendons were used as materials for treasure bows, and the bones were refined into 76 purple gold coins. The total value of these monsters after being processed exceeded 2.3 million gold, which was equivalent to half a year's income of Huaxia.
The crisis ahead was resolved, and everyone began to move forward again. Some spiritual trees were recorded and someone was specially cut down later. The deeper they went into the Dongling Mountains, the more spiritual medicines and strange stones they encountered.
Hua Kai came to the place where the mongoose escaped just now. He felt something more than 300 meters below with his mental power, and his mental power disappeared when he approached it. He knew that this was another strange stone.
Hua Kai told Hua Mo the approximate location of the strange stone. Hua Mo instantly went deep into the ground and soon came out holding a huge jade stone.
"Real Mingshi, a third-grade strange stone. I'm really lucky today. This piece is worth more than 20,000 gold.
Another big find. Tell everyone to hurry up. Today, I'll give out 10,000 gold rewards. Don't let any wild beasts go." Hua Kai took the strange stone from Hua Mo and said happily.
Everyone continued to advance. When the news reached all the soldiers, everyone was happy. The 10,000 gold was distributed according to strength. The militia with the lowest cultivation could also get more than 5 taels of silver, which was an extra half month's income.
With the harvest, everyone was more motivated to open up the wasteland. Hua Kai and Hua Mo were in front, while putting the terrain here into the [Mountain and River Map] space, and transforming it all into flat land. Behind them, the [Undead Legion] cleared most of the wild beasts. The Qilin Legion walked on the flat land to find spiritual medicines, strange stones, and spiritual woods. It became much easier to surround and kill the wild beasts. Although people were often injured and poisoned, the entire Qilin Legion was also running in with its own reserve group, and the advancement speed was increasing every day.
"Brother, we are about to enter a high mountain area. I see a big river ahead, and there are more and more wild beasts ahead." Seeing a mountain range, Hua Mo used the earth escape technique to explore the way. Hua Kai also went to another area to fight monsters, but this time he found a monster that escaped.
"This should be the largest river in the Dongling Mountains, the Wei River. This is already in the internal area of the Dongling Mountains. The most wild beasts in the Dongling Mountains live around the Wei River, and many monster territories are also near the Wei River." Hua Kai said.
"Then if we cut off the water of the Wei River and lead it to our Huaxia territory, what do you think will happen, brother?" Hua Mo said with an idea.
"This is indeed a good idea. The Wei River flows from north to south and runs through the Dongling Mountains for thousands of miles. If the Wei River is cut off from the south, many areas in the southern Dongling Mountains will be short of water, and some rivers in Zhao, Qi and other countries will also be cut off. The impact will exceed our imagination." Hua Kai thought for a while and said.
"Now is the time when wild beasts are rampant and their numbers are increasing. Wild beasts pose the greatest threat to the human race. Even if some rivers lose their water sources or the water in the rivers becomes less, if we cut off the water of the Wei River and can clear out the monsters in the entire Dongling Mountains, it will be of great significance." Hua Mo said happily.
If the Wei River can be diverted to Huaxia, how much more fertile land will be available to Huaxia? If the monsters in the entire Dongling Mountains can be cleared, then the geographical location of Huaxia will undergo a major change. Without a large number of wild beasts invading and occupying the most fertile land in the center of the three major countries of Zhao, Yan, and Qi, the importance is self-evident.
"This is a big project, but we can do it.
Every year we advance a thousand miles into the Dongling Mountains, and the entire Dongling Mountains will be completely transformed by us in at most ten years. We can now divert a small river from the Wei River to Huaxia. The width of the Wei River in front is more than 100 meters. We need to plan where to divert such a large river. Maybe we can build a large canal." Hua Kai said.
As a high-level spiritual treasure, [Shanhetu] has no attack power, no defense power, no ability to assist cultivation, and even no storage ability. However, the ability to transform the terrain alone is more powerful than many spiritual treasures. With the use of [Shanhetu], Hua Kai feels more and more powerful, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a national treasure.
Hua Kai flew towards the Wei River and saw many wild beasts gathered on both sides of the river. The auras of several powerful monsters gathered not far away. There were at least 3 intermediate monsters within a hundred miles. He did not dare to take the Qilin Corps deeper. If the 3 intermediate monsters attacked the Qilin Corps together, he could not stop it.
Let everyone retreat. After returning to Xiacheng, Hua Kai discussed with Hua Mo and others about the diversion of the Wei River, and how to speed up the inclusion of [Shanhetu] and include the entire Dongling Mountains as soon as possible.
The diversion of the Wei River is relatively easy. First, professionals will conduct a survey, and then Hua Mo will follow the river to include all the included areas in the [Mountain and River Map]. After Hua Mo's mental power is exhausted, Hua Kai will take the [Mountain and River Map] and make the transformation according to the blueprint.
The clearing of the Dongling Mountains and the inclusion of terrain are difficult. Some areas must be included in the [Mountain and River Map] and all places must be visited. Monsters cannot escape. No one knows how many monsters there are in the Dongling Mountains.
"There are ways to speed up the terrain collection. Brother Mo, your mental power will be completely consumed after collecting about 50,000 acres of land. It takes half a month to recover. If we can take spiritual medicine to restore mental power..."
"Brother, isn't this too wasteful? The spiritual pills that restore mental power are hard to come by. It doesn't matter if we spend a little more time." Hua Mo said.

"Take the spirit recovery elixir, and your spirit recovery speed will definitely be much faster within a few days, which is also good for your spirit improvement.
Now I let my uncle ride the [Tianlongju] to protect you. You go to the safe area of Dongling Mountains first and put all the places that can be included into the [Mountain and River Map]. I will go to clean up all the monsters along the Wei River. Killing one more monster will make us safer. It is also good for us to drive the monsters out of Dongling Mountains. Since the theme of Central Plains this year is to eliminate wild beasts, let's do it together!" Hua Kai said.
To plan a Grand Canal that runs through the east and west of China, as well as the distribution of all canals and rivers along the way, and the construction of large bridges, all these need to be planned early.
Without Hua Kai's leadership and protection, the Undead Legion and the Suzaku Legion can only split up and kill wild beasts and wild beasts outside the Dongling Mountains. In this way, even if they encounter monsters and are unable to resist, they can suffer less losses.
Hua Mo and Hua Zichen quietly collected topographic maps in Dongling Mountains every day. Hua Zichen was on guard while Hua Mo was working. Hua Zichen had [Tianlongju] to keep watch in the sky. In case of crisis, [Tianlongju] could easily escape as a Pegasus. After receiving the retreat signal, Hua Mo directly used [Earth Escape Technique]. The three of them in the foundation building realm could try to drive away the primary monsters, and they would run away quickly if they encountered intermediate monsters.
On the first day, Hua Mo collected more than 40,000 acres in just half a day, which is equivalent to 27 square kilometers. He crossed some areas where monsters existed, and Hua Mo's speed was not slow.
At noon, Hua Mo returned to Xiacheng exhausted. He took out a magic pill given to him by Hua Kai and took it directly. Although this magic pill was precious, it was useless to keep it. It would be better to speed up the collection of the terrain of [Mountain and River Map].
Hua Zichen had already been busy with his own Military Affairs Office affairs in the afternoon, so Hua Mo quietly waited for the changes in the spiritual medicine. Unexpectedly, the effect of this spiritual medicine was amazing, and his spiritual power was recovering at a hundred times the usual speed. In order to test the effect of this spiritual medicine, Hua Mo rode his divine horse eastward to an unrecorded terrain and began to collect terrain. He found that his spiritual power recovery speed was about half of the consumption speed, that is to say, as long as the medicine was effective, he could collect terrain for about 12 hours a day.
