Mu Yuan instructed Duo Lai to carefully inspect their surroundings and could be sure that in this ancient site, apart from the corpse in front of them and the enchantment behind it, there was nothing else unusual or distinctive.

He examined the corpse in front of him; its features were already blurred, only the patterns and insignia on its armor were faintly discernible.

It didn’t seem to follow the Xuan Country style.

“The person etched the common language of the Eternal Continent, perhaps, he was a native of the Eternal World? It is also possible that he was a chosen one from another world.”

Xuan Country has established the Tai Xuan Alliance in the Eternal World.

The other superpower of Lanxing, the ‘Star Splendor Federation’, established the Shen Yao Empire in the Eternal World. Both have considerable influence in the Eternal World, but apart from this, there are many other human civilizations and non-human civilizations in the Eternal World.

There are numerous powerful forces, either in alliance or in hostility, intricately interwoven into a large network.

Mu Yuan’s understanding of this was limited.

“After all, he was also a human being, perhaps a famous powerhouse during his lifetime, let’s bury him to rest in peace, of course…”

The body could be buried, but the burial items were not really necessary, there was no need for such superficial formality.

Thus, Duo Lai cheerfully removed a ring, shimmering with a hint of silver, from the corpse’s finger.

It was a storage ring-!

And it had more stuff inside-!

Duo Lai then dug out a few items from it – an amulet-shaped pendant engraved with mysterious runes; two soul crystals; and a blueprint enveloped in a faint green glow.

As Mu Yuan was not there, he could not identify the items, but through his extensive knowledge and online search capabilities, he was able to identify these items.

“Great Amulet, a rare level item, it’s the upgraded version of the amulet, capable of blocking three fatal damages. However, its limit has been raised to the ninth level of the first-order.”

It was a rather excellent life-saving item.

Despite being plundered from a corpse, Mu Yuan, as a modern day youth, didn’t feel any superstition about this; he believed in science.

“The Miracle Blueprints is also of rare level, called ‘Guiding Landmark (Special)’, a special building that can attract wandering people.”

In fact, once the players pass the Lord Trial and are promoted to a real lord, they can build a usual Guiding Landmark.

Placing the landmark outside the territory has a small chance of attracting wandering people.

These wandering people are not from the surroundings of the territory. Like his territory, it is almost impossible to find civilians who are lost in the nearby area. Instead, it attracts lost people to the vicinity of the territory by some form of agreement with the spatial rules of the Eternal World.

Such wandering people have no affiliation and are likely to join the territory. Although they don’t have military loyalty, they can still do a lot of work. Moreover, most of the armed forces in the entire territory are under the control of the lord.

“According to the information on the forum, most of the wandering people are quite reliable, but also very mediocre; the lord only has a very, very small chance to recruit talents.”

“But if you can build a high-grade guiding landmark, you have a higher chance of attracting talented individuals and strongmen.”

“It is said that there is a kind of special building called the ‘Hero Tavern’, which can attract wandering heroes for players to recruit… of course, this is just a rumor.”

After all, most veteran lords desperately wish for a hero, but they can’t get one. Even in the stage of the Great Lord, the Top-level Lord, heroes are their right-hand men.

The blueprint in front of them could build a high-grade guiding landmark.

But…

“At the current stage, the territory is too small; there is already a squeeze with more than two hundred military types together. Recruiting more wandering people seems difficult to accommodate. Moreover, before I truly own the Lord’s authority, civilians are not of much use to me.”

Regardless, the rarity of a rare level Miracle Blueprint is beyond doubt.

Not to mention the Great Amulet and the storage ring, both of which are rare items.

This was undoubtedly a huge profit.

“After so many days of struggle, I finally got my standard storage ring. It really hasn’t been easy.”

After all, Mu Yuan did not strip the broken armor off the corpse.

After burying this mysterious powerhouse to rest, Duo Lai began to circle around the enchantment. The entrance of the entire enchantment was inclined, resembling an entryway to an underground space. But the enchantment didn’t only cover the entrance; it also wrapped the whole underground space with not a single gap.

“This kind of enchantment set up by humans can be opened with a special key. The key can be a token or a command, However…”

The corpse in front of him did not mention how to open it!

Did I let this riddle man go too easy by burying him?

“Duo Lai, try to break it with brute force, after all, this enchantment is somewhat old.”

Captain Duo Lai took the order.

His body started to swell, accumulating energy. A few seconds later, he jumped high and gave off an alloy luster at the highest point. Then he fell like a meteor, dragging a visible energy tail flame!

Boom!!!

It was like a meteor hitting the earth, the entire area vibrated violently, and the surrounding ruins collapsed like building blocks under the huge shock and aftershocks.

The destructive power of Duo Lai’s ground bombing weapon was not to be underestimated.

However, the enchantment at the center of the ruins was still intact, only showing faint ripples.

“No need to try again.”

Mu Yuan stopped Duo Lai.

Such enchantments either have backup energy sources or can absorb free energy in the world. In short, the enchantment is not indestructible, it’s just that Duo Lai’s current power is far from enough.

“But does this also mean that the items sealed in the enchantment could be very precious?”

“We can plan slowly. There are many ways to open the enchantment. If there is a chance, I’ll try. If not, it doesn’t matter. This trip is already profitable.”

A day later, Mu Yuan discovered two more important areas.

“There is a temple deep in the swamp to the southwest, but there is a snake man tribe near the temple… a tribe with a totem.”

The snake man tribe is strong, and as tribal forces, they may have hidden trump cards. Therefore, Mu Yuan did not send the slime to attack, fearing that Duo Lai might not return.

“The second discovery is that there is a Land of Filth twenty kilometers away to the east. This Land of Filth covers a large area and has attracted many monsters…”

Compared to the Land of Filth he purified ten days ago, it’s at least ten times harder to deal with.

But his territory is now populated by many strong individuals, they can just steamroll over this Land of Filth.

The problem is…

“Only a Lord or Hero can purify the Root of Corruption, so I have to risk a twenty-kilometer journey to purify it myself.”

The distance is too far, and the map-running can only be left for tomorrow. Thinking about it makes him a little melancholy.

Mu Yuan then switched to the Tai Xuan forum to relax.

There are only about seven days left for the Lord Trial, and the new Lords are getting increasingly anxious.

However, not everyone feels the same pressure. While most new Lords are anxious due to the early arrival of the trial, a few others feel confident and relaxed.

“Hey, I got a treasure map. The location is seven or eight kilometers away from my territory. Do you think I should explore it? It’s not about danger, it’s just a bit far.”

A Second Generation Player started complaining.

Some new players couldn’t stand it, “Seven or eight kilometers? You call that far, what a joke! My friend Luo Xing has already explored eleven kilometers!” Experienced players also voiced their opinion, “Here’s a piece of advice for you from an old player, even if you have the ability, don’t go too far. You might encounter occupational level monsters beyond ten kilometers. Of course, the chance is extremely low, but what if? Are you willing to bet your future and life?”

“I still remember a talented player in our city once. He was ambitious, constantly exploring and collecting treasures, but once he accidentally encountered an occupational level Wandering Ogre. Then, he was wiped out, suffered heavy losses, and in the end, he couldn’t even pass the Lord Trial. His grave has grown three feet high grass, I just went to visit him the day before yesterday.”

“So I advise you as a veteran player to take it one step at a time.”

Take it one step at a time? He agreed!

It’s just twenty kilometers anyway.

Oh, Mu Yuan, since when have you become so lazy!
