Zong Shen sighed and put his hand into the small treasure box.

He took out the last item in the small treasure box with his backhand.

This is a fruit only the size of a fist.

The skin is as black as ink and the texture is as hard as stone.

The reason why Zong Shen firmly believed that it was a fruit was because it exuded a strange fruity fragrance. Looking at this dark and hard fruit, Zong Shen only hoped that it would gain some momentum.

His eyes stared at the fruit, and detailed attribute information about it appeared on the side.

【Dragon Vein Fruit (Orange)】

[Quality: Legendary]

[It can be used on any riding beast or war pet whose level does not exceed the overlord level, so that it can be strengthened by dragon veins]

[Dragon Vein Fruit made by watering the Beast Fruit with a little dragon essence and blood]

[The strengthening effect of this fruit is not valid for dragon veins, dragon descendants, and dragon creatures]

(The dragon vein fruit carefully collected by the little black dragon, for which it even paid some of its heart and blood

This fruit was originally intended to be used as a reward to the dragon-veined kobold chieftain Ulysses.

After receiving the blessing of dragon veins, you can increase part of the lifespan and attributes of the riding beast or war pet. In addition, you will also randomly obtain some dragon characteristics)

According to the attribute information of this fruit, it should be a war pet strengthening item.

For most beasts and warcraft, obtaining the power of dragon veins is a kind of strengthening in itself.

In the territory, Yingjiang is an overlord-level dragon-veined griffon blessed by the power of dragon-vein.

This is why, even at the Overlord level, Ying Jiang can overwhelm Fei Hu.

Then this [Dragon Vein Fruit] can be considered to be given to Feihu.

Let it become a dominant dragon-veined scorpion-tailed tiger.

As for Bajie, its level is too low. Even if you use [Wild Seed (Blue)] on it, it will only advance to the Commander level 50% of the time, which is still a long way from the Overlord level.

Therefore, this [Dragon Vein Fruit] is most suitable to be given to Feihu.

After strengthening into a dragon-veined scorpion-tailed tiger, its strength can be improved to a certain extent.

Indirectly improve the territory's combat power level.

All the items in the small treasure box have been checked.

Zong Shen looked inside again and even reached out to take it out.

After making sure nothing was missing, I put the box away.

Take this box back and let the dwarf uncle smelt it, and you can also get some fine gold resources.

At this point, Xiao Heizi's dragon nest has been completely searched by him.

To be on the safe side, he backfilled the soil and tamped it down vigorously.

Fill up the big hole he dug.

As long as you don't look closely, there shouldn't be any clues.

After a period of natural sedimentation, Xiao Heizi could not see any abnormalities.

Anyway, Zong Shen will never let it move freely in a short time.

"Then next, it's time to search for the treasure chests scattered nearby."

"Although those servants have collected a lot of treasure boxes and placed them in the dragon's nest, there should be many boxes that have slipped through the net around."

"After all, this is a large-scale ruins, and it is blessed by the elements of the black dragon territory."

“Whether it’s a monster territory or a ruins, treasure chests will be refreshed.”

"Therefore, there must be many treasure chests out there that have not been discovered."

Zong Shen thought about it in his mind and quickly came to a conclusion.

"Please guide me to the location of the remaining treasure chests in the Poison Swamp!"

After thinking about it, a dozen golden circle marks suddenly appeared at different distances nearby.

The collection of the little black dragon's family members, as well as the treasure chests discovered by Lord Poison Mist, have reduced the number of treasure chests originally scattered in the Poison Swamp a lot, and now there are only about ten left.

If you add the treasure chest that Zong Shen found from the dragon's nest, then the treasure chest that can be harvested this time can be considered very good.

Thinking of this, he immediately prepared to leave the dragon's nest and head to the nearest treasure chest location.

When he just walked out of the dragon's nest, the air flow suddenly surged in the light green mist a hundred or two hundred meters away.

At the same time, a sharp whistle pierced the air.

"call out!"

A spear with a length of two meters was shot towards Zong Shen's face.

The speed was extremely fast, and he was already in front of him in the blink of an eye.

When Zong Shen captured the movement of this spear throwing, his defensive thoughts emerged.

The evil stain quickly gathered and blocked the door thirty centimeters in front of him.

The throwing spear hit the Evil Scale, and most of the power of the throwing was neutralized.

The remaining force made the surface of the gun dent backwards. After only ten centimeters of penetration, the force of the war spear was completely removed. It slipped away feebly and fell to the ground.

Zong Shen also ducked and took a few steps to the side.

The next moment, several large rocks from the mouth of the bowl were fired towards Zong Shen.

It was also easily blocked by the evil stain.

It's rude to come back without reciprocating. These attacks from near the dragon's nest are most likely from the dependent monsters that survived the chaos.

Their attacks basically pose no threat to Zong Shen.

If there are enough of these dependent monsters, they can be considered a good fighting force, especially when they form a group.

Those lords relied on the huge number of monsters and servants to sweep across the four directions.

If the quality is not enough, use quantity to make up for it.

Monsters like kobolds and gnolls have extremely strong reproductive abilities.

It doesn't matter if the degeneration rate of the population is high, the weak cubs are often killed for food.

Anyway, the fertility rate is high, so it doesn't matter if some of the weak cubs are sacrificed.

Although this move is cruel, it can also be regarded as a means to proactively curb the degradation of the ethnic group.

As we all know, groups with high fertility tend to have high degeneration rates, such as goblins.

If they are not strengthened by blood, the strength of the goblins will become weaker with each generation.

Kobolds and gnolls have a very simple way to solve the problem of group degradation.

That is manual culling, and the remaining cubs are often relatively strong.

Over time, after generations of reproduction, the degradation rate will not increase much.

In fact, goblins also behave similarly.

But their number of births per birth is actually not as exaggerated as that of jackals and kobolds.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! That’s why you need to strengthen your bloodline.

As long as there is enough food and living space, after decades of cultivation, it can develop into a huge dependent clan, including the kobold miners that Zong Shen conquered before.

As the large eggs are hatched, the number of kobolds is steadily increasing.

At the same time, new large eggs were also laid.

You Zongshen provides food and safety for the kobolds, so they can reproduce as much as they like.

Therefore, Zong Shen did not want to kill these former dependents of Xiao Heizi.

No matter how bad it is, sending them for mining is still a good choice.

Controlling them indirectly through the little black dragon eliminates the need to occupy the control points.

Thinking about it this way, the kobold chief Dutra and the miner kobolds both have to occupy a certain amount of control, which is a bit uneconomical, although they all occupy Dutra's own control.

But as the number of kobold tribes increases in the long run, this will definitely not be allowed to continue.

Zong Shende tried to find a way to gain the loyalty of the kobolds in the mines through indirect control.

Yingjiang and Feihu are a good example.

They were originally the leaders of their respective groups. After being tamed by Zong Shen, those griffins and manticores also indirectly became Zong Shen's riding beasts and battle pets.

Of course, it is worth mentioning that indirect control is not as thorough as direct control.

Once Yingjiang or Feihu fails to return home for a long time, a new leader may be born among other griffins and manticores. In addition, any orders given by Zong Shen need to be conveyed through the leader.
