Chapter 26: The New Crisis

Zhao Hai and Mu Mu stood by the lake, while Merlin whispered a spell beside them. Soon, a transparent water blue shield appeared around them, and then a wave emerged from the lake. Just as Zhao Hai was stunned, the wave swept the three of them into the lake.

But Zhao Hai found that the three of them were now standing in a transparent water blue sphere, while the lake water had been supporting this transparent sphere like a fountain, constantly moving forward.

This is the second time Zhao Hai has witnessed the magic of magic. The first time, Merlin only used a simple illumination technique and a simple water polo technique, but even so, Zhao Hai, who had seen magic for the first time, felt very magical. This time, it was even more miraculous than the last time. They were walking on the waves alone with two people, even more impressive than the Chinese martial arts of "floating on the water" and "crossing the river with a reed".

Compared to Zhao Hai, who is considered a half outsider, the wood and performance are much more impressive. He has long known the magic of magic, not to mention Merlin, who is an eighth level water mage. Fighting against such a mage in the water is everyone's nightmare because it is their home ground.

Merlin also had a relaxed expression on her face. She was very confident in her abilities. On the water, she believed she was invincible. So when she said there might be water monsters in the water, she didn't show any worry because she believed in herself. Even if there were water monsters, she could easily kill them.

The speed of using magic to move on the water surface is very fast. When they arrived, it took them more than three hours, but when they returned, they only took about half an hour to see a mountain entrance ahead. Fortunately, this entrance is the one behind the castle, which also proves that this lake can indeed be used as a waterway for the sky, allowing them to secretly transport people to the canyon.

When Merlin removed the magic and Zhao Hai finally became down-to-earth, he couldn't help but jump. This down-to-earth feeling was really good.

When walking on the water, although Zhao Hai looks very carefree, he always has a feeling of falling down, which makes him very uncomfortable.

When the three of them came out of the cave, they happened to see the slaves working outside. It was not yet noon and they had not rested. There were also many areas to be cleaned in the cave, and many slaves were working as carpenters inside.

If this cave is to be converted into a place for raising blue eyed rabbits, a lot of fences will be needed, all of which will be made of wood, after all, Zhao Hai and his team don't have so many iron tools now.

This time, considering the situation here in the castle, Greene and his team also bought some wood, but not very much. Most of the things Greene and his team bought were finished products, because Greene knew that even some of the slaves who could do carpentry work could not make too complicated things, because good craftsman slaves were not of the same price as these ordinary slaves.

The appearance of the three people startled the slaves, who immediately bowed to them. The three of them only nodded and left the cave.

Meg and Stone were standing outside the cave. As soon as they saw the three of them coming out, they were also surprised. Meg quickly greeted them and said, "Young master, grandmother, how did you get out of the cave

Merlin smiled and said, "Keep walking from the lake in the cave and you'll reach a canyon. That's the most suitable place we've chosen for cultivation. The young master has just improved ten acres of land there, so we're back

Meg's eyes lit up and she said, "Really? That's great. I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Grandma, young master, you can go back to the castle and rest for a while. I'll be here to watch

Merlin turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Young master, go back to the castle and rest for a while. I have something to tell you

Zhao Hai was taken aback for a moment. He didn't know what else Merlin had to do, but as soon as he saw Merlin's serious expression, he didn't dare to neglect it. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back to the castle first. Wood, you stay and help Meg and Stone." Wood responded and stayed behind, and Zhao Hai and Merlin walked towards the castle.

After the two arrived at the castle's living room, Zhao Hai looked at Merlin in confusion and said, "Grandma Merlin, what's the matter that can't be said outside

Merlin nodded and said to Zhao Hai, "Young master, when I came back today, I casually explored the situation in the lake, but I didn't find any powerful water magic. There are only two explanations for this situation. Firstly, the water monster is very powerful and very good at hiding its whereabouts, so I can't find it. However, this situation is almost impossible. I am an eighth level water mage, confident that there is nothing in the water that can hide my exploration. Secondly, there are no powerful monsters in the water, and there are no fish in the water. There is another reason for this." Zhao Hai was stunned, but he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. It is one of his important plans for the future development of his fiefdom. If there is really no way to raise fish there, Then he will lose an important source of funding, and leaving such a large lake unused is really a waste.

Zhao Hai said calmly, "Can you find out the specific reason

Merlin also said with a heavy face, "I've heard a rumor before, and I don't know if it's related to the situation in the lake. I heard that because the Black Soil Wasteland is too close to the Decay Swamp, there are often a coalition of undead creatures and poisonous beasts that run to the Black Soil Wasteland. They will kill all the living creatures here, so the Black Soil Wasteland has become a dead land. However, because no one came here before, this news has never been confirmed. If this news is true, then the reason why there are no fish in the lake may be because of this

Zhao Hai's face changed. If it was really as Merlin said, the trouble would be big. Among them, except for Merlin, Merlin, Green, Wood, and Stone, who had some combat power, the others were all slaves without combat power. If the undead creatures and poisonous beasts in the corpse swamp really came to attack them, they would be doomed.

Zhao Hai lowered his head and kept rubbing his forehead with his hands, which was also a habitual action he had in his past life when thinking about things.

Merlin looked at Zhao Hai's expression and was also very worried. If that situation really happened, all their cultivation industries would have to stop, and it was very uncertain whether these people could survive.

Zhao Hai couldn't think of a good solution now, so he just said, "If this is true, then we'll be in big trouble. Grandma Merlin, we'll have to wait for Grandpa Green to come back and discuss before making a decision. In my opinion, starting from tomorrow, don't go cleaning the mine for now. Gather all the supplies we have, make some simple weapons, train those slaves, and repair the castle. If that really happens, we can at least rely on the castle to resist for a while. If it doesn't work, I'll have to send everyone to my space to hide and wait for those who die. After the spirit creatures and monsters have retreated, we will come out

Merlin frowned and thought for a moment, but couldn't come up with a good solution. He nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way now. We've been in the Black Soil Wilderness for so long, and we haven't seen any unusual movements in the Corpse Swamp. There shouldn't be any problem. I hope my worries are unnecessary

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "Whether it's unnecessary worry or not, this matter must be done to prevent it from happening. Now our Buda family's last fortune is here. If we all lose it, then our Buda family will have no hope of turning things around

Merlin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away, but we don't bring many weapons this time, and most of those supplies are for daily life, which can't be used as weapons at all. What should we do

Zhao Hai doesn't have any good solutions now. If his farm's level is enough, he can plant some trees as weapons, but his current level is too low to plant trees. He can't let someone hold a corn cob and fight against those undead creatures.

The most new and small to say in the book of ⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥\886!

Zhao Hai rubbed his forehead vigorously. His forehead had already been rubbed red, but he still hadn't come up with a good solution. Suddenly, he noticed the stone ground and a bold idea appeared in his mind. He looked up at Merlin and said, "Grandma Merlin, let's organize people to pick some stones tomorrow. We can make some stone weapons. Although the killing power of these weapons is not great, they are only used to defend the city and should be usable. What do you think

Merlin thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay, we don't have that much material in our hands right now. When we came out of the capital, they didn't even allow us to bring weapons. This is the only way now. After Green returns, let him go and purchase a batch of weapons as soon as possible

Zhao Hai nodded impatiently. He never expected that one day he would return to the life of the Stone Age, and they would have to face it again.

Zhao Hai has now figured it out. It seems that the gentlemen in the imperial capital really don't want to give them any way out, otherwise they wouldn't have come to places like the Black Soil Wilderness without weapons. He doesn't believe that those gentlemen in the imperial capital haven't heard of the rumors about the Black Soil Wilderness.

Now they are not only facing the crisis of starving to death, but also the possibility of being killed by those undead creatures and poisonous beasts.
