[Moon Spring Water: Moon Well can produce 1.2 liters of Moon Spring Water every day. The spring water has the power of moonlight and can heal injuries and recover energy.]

Zong Shen looked at the flowing Moon Spring Water in the Moon Well and nodded in satisfaction.

This was a treasure.

Nothing could go wrong.

If the Moon Well did not have the Spring of Moon Well skill, it could only produce 50ml of spring water per hour, which was less than 1ml per minute.

In such a short time, the Moon Spring Water produced was not even enough for Zong Shen to drink.

Zong Shen decided to go out and search for treasures.

At this moment, the wolf cavalry soldier had yet to return from his exploration.

Zong Shen could not wait any longer.

As for the three foolish farmers, when they saw Zong Shen dig up the soil and summon a Dark Night Hunter, they were so frightened that they worked even harder.

Night Elves were one of the ancient and powerful races on this continent.

It was one of the powerful branches of the elven race.

Other than that, there were also Light Elves, Blood Elves, High Elves, and Naga Elves, and so on.

However, with the end of the epic battle of ten thousand years, the ancient races had fallen one after another. Now, the continent had a new ruler and different powers.

As native farmers, Iron Pole and the others were unwilling to serve Zong Shen, the half-assed lord who had suddenly appeared.

But now, seeing that Zong Shen had actually summoned the ancient army, the Dark Night Hunter, who had disappeared for many years, they couldn’t help but look at Zong Shen in a different light.

Respect came from strength.

And the current Zong Shen already had the strength to make them completely submit.

[As your strength is increasing rapidly]

[Farmer Iron Pole’s Loyalty to you has increased by 5 points. Current Loyalty: 83]

[Farmer Second Dog’s Loyalty to you has increased by 5 points. Current Loyalty Level: 83]

[Farmer Eggface’s Loyalty to you has increased by 5 points. Current Loyalty Level: 83]

The loyalty of the three silly farmers increased again.

Actually, Zong Shen had already sensed that there was something wrong with these three silly farmers ever since he had just chosen his identity and appeared here.

He felt like they were dealing with him.

It was as if someone was forcing them to serve him.

It seemed that he would have to have a talk with them tonight!

It was still early.

The previous excavation and treasure hunt only took about an hour.

Zong Shen decided to work harder and continue his exploration.

Now, another problem was finding a safe water source.

The initial water resource was only one jar of water.

Besides the three silly farmers, there were also Colby and Luna.

There was also a black panther and a giant wolf to feed.

Although the Moon Well could produce 1.2 liters of Moon Spring Water every day, it was still too extravagant for Zong Shen to drink it daily.

As long as the Moon Spring Water was used properly, it would definitely be something that could save lives.

Therefore, finding a water source became an urgent task.

As for the territory, Zong Shen was not worried.

The three foolish farmers were excellent at escaping and their territory was in the “beginner’s protection period” of three days. As long as they escaped into the small courtyard, they could resist all threats.

“Luna, let’s go for a walk.”

“I want to find a safe water source for the territory.”

Zong Shen mounted his old traveling horse.

With 2 points of [Horsemanship], he was able to control this old horse.

Luna didn’t say anything in response. She simply placed a hand on her chest and bowed.

Riding the black panther, she followed behind Zong Shen and left the small courtyard.

This was a vast grass field. The terrain was flat, and with the clear skies, one could see the situation 10 to 20 miles away.

Apart from some lush grasslands, everything else was visible.

The grass field was sparsely covered with trees.

Right opposite the door.

When he looked into the distance, he seemed to be able to see a continuous stretch of mountain ranges. However, they were too far away, so Zong Shen could not see them clearly.

This direction was where the Wolf Cavalry soldier was heading.

Thus, Zong Shen changed directions and headed towards the back of the courtyard.

It was deep in the pasture.

In Zong Shen’s eyes, there was nothing happening within his field of vision.

But Luna clearly had better eyesight.

Just as Zong Shen was about to ask the guide module if there were any treasures nearby.

Luna had found something.

“My lord, there’s smoke rising from a bonfire about 30 miles ahead…”

“Oh? A bonfire?”

“Is it another Lord?”

With this question, Zong Shen immediately became spirited.

But Luna shook her head.

“No, those people have simple tents. They look like refugees.”

Zong Shen was disappointed when he heard Luna’s answer.

However, he still decided to take a look.

Even the refugees were the natives of this world.

Zong Shen tightened the grip around the horse’s belly, and the traveling horse started galloping.

Running at a speed of 4 points was not slow.

Luna also trotted behind Zong Shen on her black panther.

About half an hour later.

Zong Shen finally arrived near this shabby little camp.

This camp was pathetic.

Three to five white sails formed three to five simple tents.

A bonfire was lit in the middle of the camp.

A dozen people in ragged clothes sat around the bonfire, seemingly roasting some meat.

All of them were wearing swords.

These swords and sabers were tattered and on the verge of being destroyed.

Zong Shen even saw one of them carrying a rusty sickle.

It was so shabby.

Zong Shen had originally thought that he was already in dire straits, but after seeing the equipment of these people, he finally understood what it truly meant to be in dire straits.

Near this simple camp, there were large numbers of bones piled up.

It was strange, very strange.

Everyone had a numb expression on their faces.

All of a sudden, the black panther beneath Luna bared its teeth at the campsite, clearly a little restless.

“My lord, there’s a strong smell of blood in the camp…”

Luna’s brows furrowed slightly as she cast a wary glance toward this strange camp.

Zong Shen narrowed his eyes upon hearing Luna’s words.

Immediately, golden words appeared.

(This is a group of cruel bandits. Their hearts have completely fallen. I suggest that all of them be exterminated or captured. You will obtain a sum of resources and some unexpected gains.)

Zong Shen turned around and suddenly asked.

“Luna, these are bandits. Are you sure you can deal with them?”

Zong Shen turned around and asked Luna.

If Luna couldn’t beat these bandits, then the situation would be tense.

Luna’s eyes were sharp as she stared at the bandits. This was the gaze of a hunter looking at his prey.

“Not worth mentioning.”

Zong Shen nodded upon hearing Luna’s words.

“Then let’s go.”

Luna, the Dark Night Hunter, had one hand on her chest.

“As you wish, Great Lord!”

“My power belongs to you!”
