Chapter 567: Chapter 353: The Working Dragon and Tianyuan at Top Speed (4K)_2
Rather, the Elves and Giants are spending a significant amount of money on war materials as a foundation for preparing for a conflict. If they are too hesitant to spend money on war materials, Mu Yuan would have to question their resolve in combating the Monster Overlord.
He himself purchased even more.
During the war, all kinds of Recovery Potions, Arrows, and ammunition must be adequately prepared. A lack of supplies leading to a drop in Combat Power and subsequently heavy casualties would indeed be too late for regrets.
If it's a defensive battle, ranged troops can play a more significant role. Even something as powerful as the Arrow of Polar Star needs to be replicated using high-grade Arrows to mass-produce Advanced Arrows.
This time, Mu Yuan had purchased a batch of Rare Level 'Armor-Piercing Arrows,' 'Barrier-Breaking Arrows,' 'Fury Flame Arrows,' and 'Invisible Arrows' for the Arrow of Polar Star to use.
If it's a siege, items like the Breaking Boundary Stone are indispensable.
The armor, swords, spears, and shields of the melee troops also need to have at least three sets of spares. This is because more than half of the Elites still aren't equipped with Rare Equipment, so Mu Yuan could only match them with 'reinforced +3' Ordinary-level equipment to make do.
Besides, Rare Equipment is not necessarily durable and is still prone to damage.
A large number of equipment claims would be filed after the war.
At this moment, Mu Yuan felt that the Skeleton Series was truly the 'high cost-performance' type of troops. Little Skeletons saved money and hassle, and the Skeleton Morticians could extract their own bones to use as weapons. Nowadays, they mainly use their own bones plus some added minerals to smelt a Bone Sword, and when it comes to saving money, they are arguably the strongest.
...
While Mu Yuan was busy purchasing, the others in Tianyuan Territory were not idle either.
Wolf Head Mountain had become the operational center for the three major forces. To facilitate communication and coordinate tactics, high-level characters from both the Natural Garden and Giant Stone Ridge regularly stationed themselves here.
The representative from Natural Garden was a Fourth-order Limit with a Legendary stature and Moon Elf Bloodline.
The Moon Elf God Archer 'Lin En.'
The representative from Giant Stone Ridge was also a young Fourth-order talent, the Frost Giant Baneta.
Both were super-powered beings. Facing ordinary Fourth-order leaders, they possessed overwhelming strength. Proud and powerful as they were, they couldn't exhibit even a trace of arrogance on Wolf Head Mountain.
Moon Elf God Archer Lin En, having witnessed the extraordinary grace of Tianyuan Powerhouses in the Temple of Knowledge, took several days to recover from the shock. How could he dare to be arrogant here?
Even though the giant Baneta had not personally witnessed the splendid battle achievements of Tianyuan's powerhouses, he had heard plenty about them. Perhaps if only one or two people claimed such feats, there could be exaggeration or boasting involved, but when everyone said the same, he had no room for doubt.

Besides…
Giant Baneta glanced into the distance and saw a tall, elegantly formed blue Giant Dragon slowly landing on the summit of Wolf Head Mountain.
Even from afar, he could faintly sense the dragon's presence radiating from the blue Giant Dragon.
This was a purebred Giant Dragon!
Giant Baneta harbored the ambition to reach the peak; he believed that his future could match that of a pureblood Giant Dragon, and surpassing one was not impossible. But for now, he was at the Fourth-order Peak, and so was the blue Giant Dragon. No matter how proud he may be, he couldn't claim that he could defeat a Giant Dragon in direct combat.
"Have you finished checking this batch of goods? If there's no issue, I'll be leaving," said the Water Mirror Dragon, Difu, in front of Niu Si, the leader of the Defensive Troops stationed at Wolf Head Mountain.
Niu Si nodded. "The count is correct, but you're leaving so soon? I thought the task of transporting the spoils back to the territory wasn't until this afternoon?"
He seemed to remember correctly.
Currently, Tianyuan Territory's third transport team was responsible for delivering batches of war materials to Wolf Head Mountain and for packaging and sending back materials, Remnant Souls, and other spoils from the frontlines to the territory.
They ran two trips a day.
The job of the Water Mirror Dragon, Difu, was to use her abilities to cover the transport team, to avoid detection by the possibly lurking Jackal Man scouts.
Having delivered a load, the transport team would rest on Wolf Head Mountain.
"I'll be here on time in the afternoon," Difu said, and with those words, her figure gradually faded into the mist, and she flew away.
As she was flying, she lifted her claw and glanced at the 'personal wristband' tied around it, which displayed the Contribution Points she had accumulated and a list of tasks assigned to her.
"At 12 p.m., I need to assist Miss Isloa in inspecting and upgrading the city's defense mechanisms."
"At 6 p.m., I have to cover a squad going to a target area to trade with the Elves."
"At 10 p.m.… "
"At 11 p.m.… "
Calculating with her claws, Difu mused, "Seems I still have some free time; I should take on two more tasks. This one, to water the sixth planting zone, is good; it's worth a whopping 250 Contribution Points… I need to hurry back to the territory to snag the task, whoever gets it earns it!"
"And this task…"
"At this rate, I should have enough in about two and a half days to apply for an evolutionary baptism with my contributions; this is just too exciting for a dragon."
It fluttered its wings and returned discreetly to Tianyuan Territory, ready to start the next task.
Atop Wolf Head Mountain, leaders from the Tianyuan Territory, Elves, and Giants were engaged in heated discussions.
Before them, the vast map already had several conspicuous red circles drawn on it.
Some of those red circles were marked with a large X.
They were narrowing down the location of the Wolf Fang Lair!
The skirmishes between Tianyuan Territory and the Jackal Men were not just for strategic space; concurrently, they were tracking down hidden bases of the Jackal Men, along with their core lair.
To truly defeat the Jackal Men, it was necessary to locate their lair.
Thanks to intelligence from the Elves and Giants, they had initially defined a search area, which they were now steadily shrinking.
"However, as the area narrows, the danger significantly increases. In recent days, three of our high-order scouts from the Natural Garden have been sacrificed."
The Elf Lin En looked grave.
It was not easy to train high-order scouts, and some of them were his acquaintances, like Taeli, the top scout of the Natural Garden. Even someone like Taeli, who was at the Fourth-order Limit and skilled in stealth and reconnaissance, faced grave danger venturing into these areas.
In these areas, the scouts could encounter beings from the Legendary Realm at any time.
Under the influence of the Legendary Domain, the superior stealth abilities of top scouts almost lost their significance.
But if beings from the Legendary Realm were to go…
The Vitality Forces' Legendary Realm beings were already few in number; should they expose themselves to the risk of being surrounded and killed, the price of such a loss was something they could not afford.
"We from the Tianyuan Territory have dispatched a leader capable of flight and possessing extreme speed to scout the area."
The rotational representative from Tianyuan Territory, Lu Liu, spoke up.
The Elves and Giants knew which leader it was, having seen him in the past few days.
The Falcon General, Jun.
The leader who held the title of the fastest in Tianyuan. This Falcon General Jun seemed even more legendary than they were.
However, no matter how fast Falcon General Jun was, he was still just a Fourth-order Peak Strongman. This reconnaissance mission he undertook was fraught with too much risk; he must have gone with the resolve to sacrifice himself.
The Elves and Giants felt respect when they thought of this.
...
"Scared the life out of me, your Lord Jun, but I am the one you will never catch. Come on, come and chase me."
Jun soared across the azure sky, facing a Legendary Realm Werewolf whose domain was already spread wide. He was resolute and fearless, embodying the spirit of... intrepid audacity.
What was one way three days ago could be another today, and Jun was no longer the same after three days.
He was Lord Jun, able to leap repeatedly before one of the Legendary Realm, brazen yet undying.
Epic Two Stars Life · Wings of the Wind King · Jun.
"Soaring Nine Heavens"
"Explanation: Jun can borrow the power of the azure wind to ascend above the Soaring Nine Heavens. When mastered to a profound degree, a strongman can cross ninety-thousand miles in an instant by riding the wind."
Of course, Jun was far from being able to ride the wind for ninety-thousand miles.
He could not possibly cultivate this epic skill to the Great Perfection.
But,
Jun, borrowing the wind, controlling the wind, becoming the wind, had thoroughly shown the essence of the Wind King.
His combat power was not strong, and his stealth ability was weak, but he had one forte — he was fast.
Extremely fast.
Thanks to Jun's 'reckless' scouting, they had further narrowed down the area of the Wolf Fang Lair.
Two days later, Mu Yuan received another piece of good news.
It came from Sophia.
Sophia had confirmed the region she discovered was indeed the Furious Region. She saw the scene where the sky and the earth were about to meet and the space was dislocated and folded.
However, she was facing the same problem as the Rakshasa.
They couldn't continue forward any longer.
