Chapter 11: That Crooked Tree Is Actually Not Simple

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zong Shen kept the kite-shaped shield, hunting crossbow, and arrows into his inventory.

He stood outside the yard with an iron axe in one hand and a pickaxe in the other.

The Wolf Cavalry Corby was nowhere to be seen.

Only the three foolish farmers were still gathering resources within a few hundred meters of the small courtyard.

After a round of reprimand, the three farmers became more proactive in their work.

Iron Pole was cutting down a withered tree that was as thick as a thigh.

As for Second Dog and Eggface, one was picking weeds in the bushes while the other was using a pickaxe to collect rocks.

Occasionally, a piece of black iron ore would be dug out.

Zong Shen nodded in satisfaction.

Lifting his wrist, he glanced at his watch.

It was noon when he woke up.

It was around 1: 40 p.m.

The season here seemed to be spring.

The sun was warm.

As long as these three foolish farmers maintained this level of efficiency.

By evening, it should be enough for Zong Shen to build some basic buildings for practical use.

Seeing the three farmers working diligently, the Wolf Cavalry soldier also began to head out to explore the area. Everything was progressing in a good direction.

For a moment, Zong Shen felt that the future was in sight.

“Then, I shall get to work too!”

He said confidently.

Just as he was about to choose a direction to gather resources.

He suddenly remembered his strategy module.

Since it was a guide, shouldn’t it know the details of this area?

The question just popped out of his head.

Immediately, golden words appeared before his eyes.

(This place belongs to the Kingdom of Avalon, Rentax Giant City, Bosbon, and Esala battlefield ruins)

(That’s right. The grass field under your feet used to be a part of the ancient battlefield. 18,000 years ago, this place was part of the Elven city, Esala. It was not until the invasion of the Burning Blood Legion that this place was turned into ruins. After experiencing the vicissitudes of life, this place now belongs to the territory of the Kingdom of avalon.)

Zong Shen looked at the two lines of golden words.

It seemed like this world had a grand historical background.

The elves, the Burning Blood Legion, and even the Kingdom of Avalon had been mentioned.

The Avalon culture also had its origins on Earth.

It was an important island in the legends of King Arthur, the holy land of Celtic mythology, and the center of the ancient Druid religion.

“In that case, doesn’t this world still have dragons?”

He clicked his tongue in wonder.

“Oh right, I almost forgot about the important matter.”

“Is there anything good nearby?”

Zong Shen patted his head and thought of the important matter.

He went straight to the point and asked.

He could not help but look forward to it.

If there was a strategy for this, it would be too abnormal!

The next moment, a golden screen slowly appeared in front of him.

(Let me tell you a secret. The crooked tree 50 meters southeast of the territory is actually not simple. Pick up your pickaxe and enjoy digging under the tree.)

There was really a hint!

“F*ck! This is too much!”

Zong Shen could not help but let out a cry of surprise, instantly attracting the attention of the three farmers working nearby.

“What happened to you, Lord?”

“What exploded?”

Second Dog whispered to Eggface.

“I don’t know…”

“But as a loyal subordinate, I think we should ask.”

Eggface said witly.

They were very sensitive to bootlicking.

Thus, they hurriedly placed the resources and tools down on the spot and ran over.

Even Iron Pole who was collecting from an even further place, after seeing Second Dog and the others running over, although he did not know what had happened, he naturally could not miss it.

Thus, the three foolish farmers scrambled to Zong Shen’s side.

“Huff… Huff…”

“Lord, we’re here to protect you!”

“What exploded, Lord?”

The three of them were panting as they spoke politely.

However, Zong Shen’s face was full of smiles that he could not hold back.

This made the three farmers even more confused.

After Zong Shen calmed down.

He kicked each of the three farmers in the butt.

“What exploded?”

“Of course it’s awesome!”

“Go away!”

“What are you all doing here? Hurry up and get to work!”

Zong Shen dismissed them with a wave of his hand.

The three silly farmers came and left again.

Zong Shen rubbed his hands and looked around excitedly.

“Southeast! Southeast! Southeast!”

“Right!”

“Where is the southeast?”

At this moment, a golden arrow appeared and pointed to Zong Shen’s right.

There was a bald, crooked tree that was particularly eye-catching.

The target was very clear!

Zong Shen put away the iron axe, leaving only the pickaxe in his hand.

He walked quickly towards the crooked tree.

This crooked tree looked ordinary.

The surroundings were filled with lush green grass.

Zong Shen sized it up.

He took a deep breath and rubbed his palms together.

He picked up the pickaxe and started digging at the soft grass under the tree.

The dirt and grass flew everywhere.

After cleaning the weeds, the black fertile soil was revealed.

Then, Zong Shen started digging.

Ten minutes later.

Zong Shen had dug out a pit about half a meter deep under the tree.

Suddenly, his pickaxe seemed to have dug into something hard, and he could not help but become gentle with his movements.

Bending down, he reached out and started to dig out the soil, lifting the hard object that he had grabbed onto.

Then, Zong Shen was stunned.

It was a skull.

It looked very similar to humans.

However, the eye sockets were bigger.

The skull looked very special.

The bone looked like jade. It was smooth, translucent, and extremely hard.

However, behind this skull was a pitch-black arrow.

One-third of the arrow was inserted into the skull.

From the front, it looked like a skeleton art piece.

At this moment, a golden guide appeared.

(An elf in Esala City 18,000 years ago. He might have some ancient elven items in his backpack.)

(From the Blood Burning Legion, the Blood Igniting Arrows shot by the Evil Spirit Archers have not decayed for tens of thousands of years. They are quite good arrows.)

Two notifications appeared.

It made Zong Shen understand the situation.

Unexpectedly, the arrow on the skull was also a treasure.

He first placed the skull on the empty ground beside him, not feeling too flustered.

After all, this grass field was the ruins of the ancient battlefield more than ten thousand years ago.

It was normal to dig up some bones.

Then, he reached into the soil and found a large number of jade bones and a leather backpack made from some unknown animal.

To think that it could withstand ten thousand years without decaying!

He carefully examined the soil beneath his feet again. After confirming that there were no other foreign objects, Zong Shen climbed up from the pit.

He was prepared to check the spoils of war this time.
