Chapter 112 Sang Island

Chapter 112 Sang Island

Three or four months passed in the blink of an eye, and Zishan stayed on Lian Island until September.

During this period, in addition to improving their physical fitness, the six teams mainly trained discipline and coordination among themselves.

After several months of training, the team has become noticeably more organized and coordinated. With the cooperation of numerous Zerg warriors, battles between the various squads can sometimes be evenly matched.

However, compared to other teams that started training much earlier, they are still far behind.

After all, some teams were formed a decade or two ago, and most of the members are high-level Zerg warriors in their eight or nine years of age.

The ranks of high-ranking soldiers here also undergo updates and eliminations. Generally speaking, the coastal defense force only trains 35 soldiers.

Advanced warriors under the age of 35 and those over the age of 35 either have low evolution potential and few opportunities for evolution, or have already begun preparing to advance to the Mountain Lord level and will no longer remain in the team.

After all, for a high-level Zerg warrior, the total lifespan is only about a hundred years. If they can't break through to the Mountain Lord level before the age of 50, then their life will just be like this.

The same applies to coastal defense forces. Zerg warriors who have not yet been promoted to the Mountain Lord level by the age of 35 have a significantly reduced chance of being promoted to the Mountain Lord level, and it can even be said that they have almost no chance of being promoted to the Lord level.

Not to mention that after they are promoted to mountain lords, they can be selected for the coastal defense team, which is so rare that it can be ignored.

They are unwilling to spend time and energy on these Zerg warriors, so the coastal defense training camp has to eliminate a batch of Zerg warriors over the age of 35 every year.

Similarly, after a group of Zerg are eliminated, new high-level warriors emerge to take their place.

Team Six of Camp A is the team that Zishan recently joined. The average lifespan of the Zerg warriors in the team is around 20 years old, and the oldest Zerg warrior is currently only 3 years old.

The island is divided into nine camps based on talent type, and each camp competes for first place every year.

However, their sixth team is underdeveloped and lacks sufficient training time, so they are simply not capable of participating in such high-level competition.

Therefore, they only watched for two days as if it were a spectacle, and dispersed with envy after learning which teams had won the prizes.

Meanwhile, it was already mid-September.

October marks the start of the Elephant Banana Island Trade Fair. The Rhinoceros Tortoise Warriors need to return to Elephant Banana Island to participate in the fair, so they left the group early to prepare for their return.

The Xiangjiao Island trade fair in October is not only about joining in the fun, but more importantly, about the fact that each of them has already produced their own seed.

Because they are not in the territory, their life seeds are managed by other Zerg warriors who remain in the territory. Now that the fruits on the life seeds in the territory are ripening one after another, it is impossible to sell them to the other party, otherwise they would be able to completely sit back and enjoy the fruits.

More importantly, they also rely on the output of these life forms to exchange for various kinds of primal food.

However, they didn't mean to go back directly. These high-level warriors had nothing to do on Lotus Island. There were many Zerg warriors stationed on Lotus Island, including countless Mountain Lord-level Zerg warriors, as well as many Lord-level Zerg warriors and no less than ten Zerg Kings.

Lotus Island is located in the center of the Thousand Star Islands. Even if the Sea Beast Kingdom were to attack, it would have to break through layers of defenses to reach this place. It is no exaggeration to say that even if the Sea Beast Kingdom were to send out its entire army, it might not be able to conquer this place.

But things are different once they leave Lotus Island. Sea monster warriors may be lying in ambush in the waters near Lotus Island, waiting to attack them when they pass by.

This kind of thing has happened before, so to ensure their safety, the Green Bamboo King personally came to pick them up on September 11th and 12th.

—Lotus Island, Lake Center Island, Section 288.

The group of Rhinoceros Tortoise warriors packed their things and stood in the hall waiting for the Green Bamboo Armor King to arrive.

These rhinoceros tortoise warriors had glossy black armor sheaths, and despite their large size, they did not appear bulky at all.

They have long, powerful limbs, sharp mouthparts and horns, and their six feet are firmly gripped to the ground, standing together in an orderly fashion.

Compared to before, their appearance hasn't changed much, but their spirit and energy have improved significantly.

Especially the lead rhinoceros beetle warrior, which was larger than other rhinoceros beetle warriors of the same age. Its shell seemed to be coated with a black film, and sunlight could reflect light and shadow on the shell.

After being slightly polished and further enhanced by consuming God-given Force food, its sharpest point is comparable to a blade.

Seeing the appearance of this Zerg warrior, many Zerg warriors would believe it even if it were said that it could cut a tree in two with its special angle.

The yew tree stood confidently and calmly in the lead position. Over the past four or five months, it had been incredibly generous with its raw stones, using various enhancements to improve physical constitution, endurance, speed, agility, and perception.

I've eaten countless amounts of divinely bestowed food that enhances reaction abilities.

Of the 18 raw stones given to it by the Green Bamboo King, it spent 14.

At the same time, it has reached the limit of its age evolution and is just waiting to go back and break through to the advanced stage of the first age.

They are waiting here for the arrival of the Green Bamboo Armor King. The Green Bamboo Armor King came by a while ago and made an appointment with them to come and pick them up today.

They need to travel from Lotus Island to Mulberry Island, and then from Mulberry Island they will meet up with the Mountain Lord-level Zerg warriors and Lord-level Zerg warriors stationed there to return to Banana Island.

They didn't have to wait long. A huge roar came, the air was swept away, and the huge wings flapped, making a popping sound in the air.

This is a sound that can only be produced by something with immense power, such as someone tumbling and flying in the air.

Hearing the voice approaching from afar, the yews and the others guessed that the Green Bamboo Armor King had arrived, and they all came to the door to greet him.

Sure enough, as soon as they came out, they saw a huge rhinoceros tortoise approaching from the sky in the distance. It grew from small to large, and in just a moment, the huge rhinoceros tortoise warrior landed in front of Zishan and the others, folded its membranous wings, merged its elytra, and stood steadily in front of Zishan.

"King Green Bamboo Armor!" The Rhinoceros Tortoise warriors greeted it in unison.

The Green Bamboo King's spiritual senses swept over the insects, and seeing their mental state, it nodded its antennae in satisfaction.

Although they also have combat training in their tribes, the relaxed combat training in the tribes is completely different from the high-intensity combat training in the Thousand Star Islands.

The training in the Thousand Star Islands is very targeted, which makes it easy for Zerg warriors to identify their weaknesses.

Furthermore, the Lotus Island Mall offers a variety of Force foods that can be combined with training, resulting in effects far superior to those found in other tribes.

"Has everyone packed their things?"

"alright."

They didn't actually have much; they were just some Force food they hadn't finished eating from the Lotus Island Mall, which they could carry with them.

As for the nest, all excess food was removed to prevent it from rotting by the following year, and the nest was also replaced with dry grass to prevent it from getting damp.

As for the training camp, they had already made arrangements and handed over their tokens.

"Let's go when we're ready. We'll head to Sang Island to meet up with Qingmang and the others, and then return to Xiangjiao Island."

"yes!"

The insects responded in unison.

Led by the Green Bamboo Armor King, he led more than thirty Rhinoceros Golden Turtle warriors away from Lotus Island in a grand procession.

Zanzibar is an island located on the outer edge of the Thousand Star Islands.

Its total area is over 21300 square kilometers, which, in the context of Xiangjiao Island, is already considered a vast and powerful region.

However, if placed among the thousands of islands scattered like stars, it would be nothing more than an ordinary, unremarkable, medium-sized island.

Even the name Sang Island was chosen after several discussions and agreements between the Rhinoceros Tortoise Tribe and the major tribes on the Thousand Star Islands, who then moved the entire tribe here to reclaim the land.

The island boasts diverse landscapes, ranging from towering green mountains shrouded in mist year-round to clear, sweet mountain streams.

Dense forests are everywhere, with ancient trees reaching for the sky and vines intertwined, allowing sunlight to filter through the gaps in the branches and leaves, creating dappled patterns.

After the rhinoceros tortoise warriors arrived here, in addition to expanding their territory, they also hunted down various seabirds and animals.

It goes without saying that expanding territory is important. The island is full of various primitive and wild forests. Although there is a chance that wild divinely bestowed seeds will be born among them, the probability is too small and there is too much uncertainty.

Therefore, they need to develop the land on the islands and plant mulberry trees that have been cultivated by them for hundreds of years. This will not only increase the probability of obtaining divinely bestowed seeds, but also ensure that the quality of the divinely bestowed seeds is better.

Putting aside everything else, one divinely bestowed tree seed is worth more than a dozen or twenty divinely bestowed herbaceous seeds.

The various animals on the island also need to be eliminated. In nature, the ecological environment is a very important part. Where there is grass, there will be rabbits; where there are rabbits, there will be wolves. Otherwise, the rabbits will graze the grasslands into desert, while the wolves will restrict the rabbits' reproduction and growth.

Just like an island has trees, insects, animals, and birds, it is a complete ecological ecosystem.

Normally, this situation wouldn't be a problem, but if the Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe wants to raise ordinary Rhinoceros Tortoises here and increase the probability of giving birth to Rhinoceros Tortoise Warriors, they have to clear the birds off the island so that the ordinary Rhinoceros Tortoises can have a safe environment to grow up in, and also to prevent the newly awakened Rhinoceros Tortoise Warriors from being pecked by the birds that might appear.

On Sang Island, the Lord of Zizhu Mountain patrols his territory daily, checking the growth of the planted mulberry trees and looking for any animals nearby that might damage the newly planted trees.

Since its promotion to the Mountain Lord level, it has been included in the list of warriors for territory expansion by Lord Zi Li, and then traveled all the way to Sang Island to carry out territory expansion activities.

Due to the vast wilderness area on the island, according to regulations, a Zerg warrior of the Mountain Lord level can obtain 10 square kilometers of land as a private Zerg territory.

Lord Qingmang, who was in charge of the matter, was very generous and directly allocated 50 square kilometers of land to each of these mountain lord-level insectoid warriors.

According to the regulations, any divinely bestowed seed born within this area, whether or not it is cultivated into a plant, belongs to the seed itself.

However, according to the tribe's requirements, it also needs to gradually develop these lands to plant mulberry trees.

Previously, the master of Purple Pearl Mountain was worried about the insufficient territory area. Now, the territory area is too large, making it difficult for a single insect to keep busy. The territory problem that used to bother it has now become a happy problem.

Purple Pearl patrolled her territory and hunted down a baby goat.

To them, herbivores are more detestable than carnivores, since carnivores eat animals and do not affect plant growth.

However, herbivores often run into the mulberry groves where it has just planted trees to eat the mulberry leaves. Sometimes, the mulberry trees that it has worked hard to plant for several days are eaten by herbivores without it noticing. Therefore, it hates herbivores very much.

Just as it was about to change its taste and have some meat, it suddenly sensed a large group of Zerg warriors flying in from a distance. It looked up and stared intently at the group of flying Zerg, tensing its whole body and preparing to sound the alarm at any moment.

Only when the group of insects approached and their figures became clear did the Lord of Purple Pearl Mountain relax and rush over to meet them.

"King Qingzhu, and everyone else, has anything happened on the road?"

"You are safe and sound," Zishan replied on behalf of Qingzhujia Wang.

"It's good that you're alright." The Lord of Purple Pearl Mountain circled once in the air and flew to the side of the Green Bamboo Armor King to accompany him.

King Qingzhu asked, "Zizhu, is everyone ready here?"

"Everything is ready. Lord Qingmang has packed his things, and the plants in the territory have been watered and fertilized—"

King Qingzhu and Lord Zizhu were chatting over there, while Zishan and the others looked down from the air at the island that belonged to their tribe.

Zanzibar is truly vast, with over 20,000 square kilometers—no small place. They swooped down from the sky, the wind whistling beneath their wings, and as far as the eye could see, the entire island stretched out between the sea and the sky, seemingly without end.

I've heard that the terrain of Sang Island is like a bunch of grapes scattered by God at random, with rolling hills and crisscrossing ravines.

The tribal elders used to say that this terrain was easy to attack but difficult to defend, and was not suitable for defending against sea beast warriors.

But now that they had seen the vast area and intricate terrain with their own eyes, all the doubts in the hearts of the yew group had vanished.

Let alone a large-scale landing, even if the sea monster warriors really attacked in full force, it would probably take several days just to cross those rolling hills and dense forests.

Because of the need to defend against sea monster warriors, Lord Qingmang designated areas closer to the sea as private insect zones for Zizhu and the others.

Therefore, after the group of insects reunited, they continued to fly along the central area of ​​the island. They flew another thirty or forty kilometers before, led by the Green Bamboo King, slowly landing near the center of the island in a very open plaza.

Here, many Lord-level and Mountain Lord-level Rhinoceros Tortoise Warriors were already waiting. "Green Bamboo Armor King!" Upon seeing their arrival, the Zerg warriors greeted the Green Bamboo Armor King.

The Green Bamboo King looked at the assembled lords: "Spotted Ones will stay here; the rest of you insects, come back with me to the trade fair!"

"Yes!" All the insects were already prepared and responded readily.

King Qingzhujia looked at Lord Huaban and instructed him, "You stay on the island and search for the young warrior. Wait until..."

In January, green mangoes will come to greet you.

If the island is attacked by sea monster warriors and the situation becomes untenable, you should run away on your own. We don't have the life to stay on the island anyway. Even if the mulberry forest is destroyed, it can be replanted. Don't worry too much.

The spotted lord nodded its antennae: "I understand."

After giving his instructions, King Qingzhujia led his many insectoid warriors into the sky and flew back towards Xiangjiao Island.
