Chapter 243 Excavating the Fortress!

Qin Feng smiled and then said, "You could say that. Alright, we'll take our leave. Also, if you follow this path straight ahead, you should find a relatively low-level monster. With your abilities, you should be able to defeat it. If fate allows, we'll meet again. Farewell!"

After speaking, Qin Feng led his Red Alert legions away.

Zhang Weidao and the other five stood stunned, as if unable to believe what they had seen. One of the female disciples ventured into the cave and took a careful look. She then emerged, exclaiming in surprise, "The space inside is already quite large, with even five beds and a place to bathe!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the group lit up with a peculiar gleam. The woman continued in awe, "It's simply a miracle, no, a divine miracle! Everything inside is as if a deity conjured it. Have we encountered an immortal? One who has transcended life and death, capable of transforming anything?"

The crowd was bewildered.

Qin Feng left the group of five, as he had already obtained what he desired: the most dangerous areas and the differences between day and night.

In this region, he only needed to pay attention to these two points to ensure his safety.

Thus, Qin Feng led the remaining fifty Super Red Alert Soldiers back to the place where they had fiercely battled the previous night.

The battle the night before had been earth-shattering. The Super Red Alert Soldiers, utilizing their coordinated offense and defense formation, had annihilated hundreds of powerful monsters, while also losing fifty of their own. Qin Feng had returned this time to assess the battlefield situation and gain an estimate of these monsters.

Because it had been too dark the previous night, he could only let the Red Alert Soldiers fight based on instinct. Those monsters were enormous and varied, some possessing great strength, others incredible speed. He had returned here to see if the monsters in this area were identical to those in the Savage Lands, and besides not dropping equipment or money, what commonalities these two regions' monsters shared.

Thus, Qin Feng arrived at the scene of the incident, only to find the situation drastically changed, widening his eyes in astonishment.

The battle the previous night had been incredibly brutal, with severed limbs flying everywhere. Although Qin Feng had not witnessed it firsthand, he could sense everything that had transpired through the perceptive abilities of the Super Red Alert Soldiers. All monsters that had attacked the Red Alert Soldiers had been killed, and they had been torn to shreds with sheer brute force.

Logically, the scene should have been incredibly gruesome. However, Qin Feng discovered that there wasn't a single monster corpse in the area, not even a trace of blood. Instead, the ground was littered with golden treasures.

There were golden shoes, golden clothes, golden hats, and even scrolls composed of gold.

These treasures scattered across the ground all emitted different energy fluctuations. Although Qin Feng had not picked them up to examine, he could feel that these were indeed treasures, identical to the golden egg he had obtained.

Had the monsters killed yesterday all turned into treasures? What was going on?

Qin Feng was utterly perplexed, but the first thing he needed to do now was to collect all these treasures.

Therefore, he directed the Super Red Alert Soldiers to clean up the battlefield and gather all the treasures, which Qin Feng then stored in his storage ring!

After completing this, Qin Feng pondered deeply. He believed there was only one possibility: that at night, monsters and treasures merged into one, and they separated during the day. Otherwise, such a scene would not have occurred. The monsters had clearly been killed by him, yet by daytime, they had all transformed into treasures, which was inherently illogical.

Qin Feng was certain that in this area, besides himself, only monsters remained. It was impossible for anyone else to have come here, collected the monster corpses, and left behind a ground full of treasures. This was unreasonable. Thus, there was only one possibility: treasures and monsters were inherently one, and for some unknown reason, they had separated.

However, Qin Feng did not intend to delve too deeply into this matter now. Overthinking was futile. He had to enhance his own strength to ensure he could survive in this dangerous territory.

Thus, he picked up his alchemy furnace and a small portion of medicinal ingredients to begin refining pills.

First, he needed to restore the strength of these fifty Super Red Alert Soldiers to their peak condition, and simultaneously continue building his Red Alert legions. Only then could he guarantee his safety in this area.

Thus, more than half a day passed, and Qin Feng finally finished refining a batch of pills.

He administered these pills to the fifty Super Red Alert Soldiers, and their strength began to grow rapidly, recovering quickly.

Concurrently, Qin Feng continued to build his Super Red Alert Soldiers, with more regular Red Alert Soldiers being teleported to his vicinity.

Qin Feng trained them using his body-refining techniques while also having them consume body-refining pills to rapidly increase their strength. Meanwhile, due to the insufficient quantity of pills, the regular Red Alert Soldiers were directed by Qin Feng to excavate tunnels. To safely pass the night, a hiding place was essential.

Excavating tunnels was clearly the most sensible choice. Such excavation equipment was inexpensive in the shop, and Qin Feng could purchase highly advanced excavation equipment at a very low price, allowing him to build an underground fortress even in the desert.

With these Red Alert Soldiers operating these tools, it would save him a lot of time. For ordinary people arriving in this world, building an absolutely safe underground fortress like his would be almost impossible, as such excavation tools did not exist in the cultivation world. They could only huddle together for warmth or dig a simple underground shelter. An underground fortress capable of accommodating large-scale legions, like his, was unimaginable.

But Qin Feng could achieve it with ease. He directly teleported ten thousand regular Red Alert Soldiers from the Red Alert domain and began large-scale construction using various excavation equipment to build his underground fortress in this area. As there was not much time left before nightfall, Qin Feng could only expedite the creation of a rudimentary structure, with further construction to continue the next day.

He excavated ten sturdy underground fortresses. Each of these fortresses could simultaneously accommodate a thousand people. The narrow passages were only suitable for ordinary people to crawl through, making it extremely difficult for monsters to enter. Furthermore, each tunnel was equipped with traps and mechanisms, ensuring that even if a relatively small monster managed to enter, it would be instantly immobilized by the traps.

This way, his safety would be guaranteed without fail. Additionally, these ten fortresses would all be interconnected underground, ultimately completing a robust underground base. However, this would require a considerable amount of time, and for now, he had only completed a basic framework.

Even so, if anyone else were to see it, it would be considered a miracle.

Qin Feng glanced at the sky. Nightfall was drawing increasingly near. He and the Red Alert Soldiers directly entered the underground fortresses, also directing all the Red Alert Soldiers to enter. Only the fifty Super Red Alert Soldiers remained outside, as Qin Feng prepared for further combat that night.

However, he had left numerous escape routes around the area. When these Super Red Alert Soldiers' strength waned, they would retreat into these passages, leaving the monsters helpless.

In this manner, he could both acquire treasures and engage in combat with monsters, thereby dispelling the misfortune hanging over his head. It was a win-win situation.
