Chapter 158 Sea Beast Attacks

7{z� After walking around the villa, Zhang Shi and the other four sat on the sofa to discuss the subsequent planning of the island.

"We have stabilized now, and we still have to continue recruiting soldiers. I suggest setting up the barracks directly at the landing point of the island, and the soldiers are usually stationed nearby."

Zhang Shi nodded, agreeing with Ge Dalong's proposal. Now that he finally has an isolated environment, it would be a waste of this hard-won opportunity if he doesn't concentrate on developing.

"There are many resource points on the island. If you have time, you can take people to collect them. The production of gunpowder must also continue. Let Gong Yi play freely and provide him with any resources he lacks. Try to increase the lethality of the weapon by one level, otherwise it will be too weak to face these high-level monsters."

Everyone formulated a general charter, then dispersed and began to work on the work at hand.

Zhang Shi placed various mineral resources on the hillside in the center of the island, hoping to quickly upgrade the craftsmen and unlock higher-level forging materials through the accumulation of quantity.

Zhao Feng was busy with his fishing and hunting business. In the early days of the wilderness world, he relied on a fishing rod and a small river to get through the novice period without any setbacks. Fishing and hunting are even easier for Zhao Feng, who now has a boat and a sea.

Zhao Feng first started to build a port on the north shore of the island, and then commissioned craftsmen to make a large number of fishing nets. Because the ark was too large and not very convenient to drive, he observed the market again and wanted to buy a few ready-made fishing boats directly, but was shocked to find that any water vehicle was out of stock, and a small wooden boat was sold at a sky-high price.

Zhao Feng had no choice but to give up and go to the research center to try his luck. Unexpectedly, there were craftsmen who could really make fishing boats, but it would take a lot of time. Zhao Feng's fishing and hunting career could only be temporarily shelved until the tools were complete before it could be started again.

Wu Qing had long taken a fancy to the garden outside the villa. She even set up Shennongjia directly in the center of the garden, letting the giant sunflower guard it, and she picked up a pair of scissors to start trimming. Thanks to the blessing of Shennongjia and the nourishment of spiritual energy, the plants in the garden grew rapidly and produced a trace of spirituality. The air near the entire shelter contained a faint grass fragrance, and a deep breath could even refresh people's spirits.

Ge Dalong built a small outpost around the mysterious stone tablet. This is one of the entrances to the mysterious secret realm. He was worried that there would be accidents inside and monsters would be teleported out to cause damage, so he arranged soldiers to be on duty, changing shifts 24 hours a day, and any unusual movements would be notified to him by the soldiers as soon as possible.

As time went by, the island where Zhang Shi was located gradually prospered, and every place was full of vitality and vigor. The establishment of the barracks made the recruitment and training of soldiers more systematic. Under the leadership of the veterans, the newly joined soldiers quickly adapted to the life on the island and began strict military training. Their existence provides a solid guarantee for the safety of the island.

In the ore resource area, miners and craftsmen work day and night, and their skills are constantly improving as the ore accumulates. Finally, after a week of hard work, (Zhang Shi signed in) they successfully unlocked a higher level of forging material - forged steel, which provided a more solid foundation for the manufacture of weapons.

Gong Yi also made a breakthrough in the production of gunpowder. He developed a new type of explosive, which was far more powerful than before, making everyone full of confidence in the upcoming battle.

Zhao Feng's fishing and hunting business finally ushered in a turning point. Thanks to the efforts of the craftsmen, several brand-new fishing boats were successfully launched. Zhao Feng often led a team of people to go fishing at sea, and each time he returned, he returned with a full load. Fresh fish not only met the needs of the soldiers on the island, but also became an important commodity for them to trade with the outside world. In addition, Zhao Feng also tried to find other resources at sea, opening up new ways for the development of the island.

Wu Qing's efforts in the garden also achieved remarkable results. Under her careful care, the plants in the garden grew more luxuriantly, and the air was filled with a stronger grass fragrance. The existence of Shennongjia made the plants in the garden spiritual, and some rare flowers and herbs began to take root here. Wu Qing also used these plants to make some herbal ointments and essential oils, providing additional benefits for the islanders.

Ge Dalong always paid attention to the movement of the mysterious stele. He took a team of soldiers into the copy every three days to check, and any movement could not escape their eyes. However, as time went on, the stele did not show any abnormality. Ge Dalong still did not dare to take it lightly, and continued to maintain a high degree of vigilance while training.

Under the leadership of the four people, the soldiers on the island worked together and soon reached 800 people. They contributed their own strength to the development of the island, not only improving living conditions, but also gradually establishing the prototype of civilization and order. In this isolated environment, they found their own way of life and way of dealing with the world.

However, just as the island was gradually prospering, a sudden crisis broke the tranquility here. A huge sea beast suddenly appeared in the waters near the island, roaring and rushing towards the island, as if to destroy everything here.

This is a giant octopus with countless tentacles. Zhao Feng found something wrong from a distance when he just went out to sea and quickly returned. As expected, the sea beast followed Zhao Feng directly to the back of the island. Several huge tentacles were wriggling in the water, and a pair of small eyes emerged from the water, staring at the direction of the port.

Faced with the sudden giant octopus sea beast, Zhang Shi and others quickly summoned all the soldiers to prepare for the battle. They knew that the appearance of this sea beast was not accidental. It was probably attracted by some kind of breath or resources on the island. It was probably the same as the situation on the Ark, and it was attracted by spiritual energy.

However, there are many benefits of spiritual energy. The physical fitness of everyone on the island is constantly improving under the nourishment of spiritual energy. Zhang Shi did not give up the idea of ​​spiritual energy. Therefore, they must go all out to defend their homeland.

Ge Dalong immediately ordered the soldiers to carry the new explosives and heavy weapons to the seaside, preparing to launch a long-range attack on the sea beast. He knew that the sea beast was huge in size and would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage in close combat. At the same time, he also ordered the soldiers to prepare several small boats in case of emergency.

Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng had already set up giant cannons on the coastline. These cannons were made of new forged steel, and array patterns were engraved inside. Each shot would trigger a wave of magic power fluctuations, so it was no problem to deal with such a large monster.

Wu Qing also brought the giant sunflower over in case of emergency. If the sea beast really broke through, they also had a second line of defense to slow down its invasion.
