Chapter 201 Underground Elf
The town of Hufu was eerily quiet in the early morning, a silence that was almost unsettling.
"Why hasn't the sun risen yet, Mayor?"
The townspeople looked at the clock tower that emitted a faint glow and asked in confusion.
Where the sunstone should have been, the moonstone is still hanging instead.
"Will my rye crop be affected?"
One farmer asked with concern.
"Who knows? Anyway, I only grow enough mushrooms for myself. Growing rye would require renting land close to town, which is too expensive."
"I think the mayor just overslept; after all, he has four wives!"
Some people looked on with a mocking expression.
As people discussed and imagined various possibilities, they probably didn't know that the usually aloof town mayor was kneeling in front of others.
"Sir, we really can't afford to send anyone!"
"This is your own problem. Have you thought about whether you've made any efforts to increase the birth rate or attract more people to move in over the years?"
"Look for your own problems instead of complaining to me!"
"Anyway, your tribute today is 780 people. If you don't pay, you know the consequences."
The elf sitting in the chair looked languid and nonchalant, but his tone left no room for argument.
"But……"
Hu Fu wanted to say something more, but just then, the elf moved.
puff.
Hu Fu's arm was ripped off while he was still alive.
"what!"
With a scream, Hu Fu fainted from the pain.
He was then awakened by the pain.
"You should thank me for my mercy, and thank the elves for their mercy."
"Otherwise, you would have been dead long ago!"
The wound on Hu Fu's shoulder stopped bleeding; clearly, this was the work of the elves.
"Thank you, kind sir."
Despite having his arm torn off, Hu Fu had no other choice.
In order to save his life, he had no choice but to humbly kneel down and express his gratitude.
"Very good, that's it, that's what a lowly person like you should do."
"I'll stay here for a day, and gather 780 people within that time!"
"Otherwise, you'll be one of them!"
Hu Fu was then thrown out of the room.

"Hufu Town, this is it."
Jim didn't know if he was right or wrong, but as far as he knew, at least that lord only asked for submission, at most hard labor, which was far less terrifying than the blood sacrifices of the elves.
It must be said that Jim's feeling was right, after all, Jiang Shuzhou had never killed an innocent person.
After all, Jiang Shuzhou isn't a demon who kills his own people for no reason.
He only kills criminals, traitors, and scum.
And they never torture people; they always kill with a single blow, which can be considered quite humane.
"very good."
Hayes nodded; he hadn't fought in a while, and now was the perfect time for him to shine.
"On my command, all troops, charge!"
Immediately afterwards, nearly 10,000 heavy cavalrymen launched a direct charge.
This also included the orc servants led by the old orc into the army.
Jim wanted to say, "Your army is bigger than the whole town, is it really necessary to make such a big show of things?"
If you bring a troop and stand in front of them, I guarantee no one will dare to stop you.
However, he dared not say it, and moreover, the stronger Jiang Shuzhou was, the greater the possibility of him getting revenge.
The outcome of the battle on the front lines was a foregone conclusion, and Jiang Shuzhou paid no attention to it at this time.
He's doing something more important.
That is, migrating the mother tree and designing the food chain.
It can only be said that under Jiang Shuzhou's command, even being a flesh and blood creature is not easy.
The butcher frog, who used to eat nutrient solution, has now learned to drink abyssal pus.
If someone saw this, they might think it was a native species of the abyss.
However, this time Jiang Shuzhou does not intend to let the Fearful Demon participate in the cycle.
He wanted to design an execution device himself to kill the coward directly, and then have the abyssal pus participate in the cycle.
First and foremost is the location; without a doubt, the location cannot be too conspicuous.
That's easy to solve. The underground world has nothing but wasteland. After all, sunstones are limited, so there's no way to build that many cities.
And there are no creatures here that can adapt to darkness, such as grey dwarves or drow elves.
Therefore, large areas were abandoned, with only the Elven territory showing a relatively good level of development.
However, it is obvious that the Elven capital is not located here.
Jiang Shuzhou randomly picked a spot and started creating his own landscape.
After all, magic isn't learned for nothing. Turning fossils into mud and mud into stone, earth spikes and stone walls—these are all spells that can change the terrain.
The first thing is the placement of the mother tree.
It must be in the very center, surrounded by all kinds of flesh and blood creatures.
Jiang Shuzhou's design is very simple: an island in the lake.
What kind of lake is it? It's a nutrient solution lake, of course.
Furthermore, it must be divided into above-ground and underground sections.
The underground section serves as both an execution device for the demons and a barrier against the abyssal pus, where the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood absorbs nutrients and creates life.
On land, there is a normal food chain of flesh and blood, and lakes composed of nutrient solutions will be the most direct energy source for all living things.
But this is also the most dangerous place, bar none.
Jiang Shuzhou will design this place to have a wide field of vision, so that hunters can hunt each other here.
However, an abundance and easy access to food may lead to some problems.
However, it's not a big problem. Jiang Shuzhou altered the sense of taste of certain creatures, making them find the nutrient solution extremely unpalatable. They would only choose to drink the nutrient solution when they had no other choice.
Next comes the network of waterways extending outward from the lake. These streams are a source of nutrition for plants and also a relatively safe food source for some organisms.
However, Jiang Shuzhou still wouldn't provide any secluded space here.
Of course, in order to keep it as secret as possible, Jiang Shuzhou fenced off a large area of land and altered the terrain.
He built a stone wall and set up a magic array.
This is also to prevent flesh-and-blood creatures from harming people.
It could be said that the stone wall protected not flesh and blood creatures, but people outside.
After all, Jiang Shuzhou's orders were about killing and evolution. If there were no boundaries, the entire underworld would probably be dragged into a battle royale.
Jiang Shuzhou was very satisfied with the completed design and construction.
Starting today, this place will continuously produce high-quality weapons of war for Jiang Shuzhou.
The Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood grows on an island in the middle of the lake, and beneath it, the wails and screams of countless demons dying are heard.
Accompanied by a soft "plop" sound.
Nutrient solution seeps from the fruit produced by the mother tree.
This place is slowly changing, becoming just as Jiang Shuzhou had predicted.
After setting up some more magic arrays and bringing over the hunting hound army to guard the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood, Jiang Shuzhou briefly left.
He's going to check on Hayes.
Hayes was speechless.
"You bunch of monkeys, let me go!"
"Believe it or not, I'll kill your whole family! If you commit suicide, I might spare your family's lives now!"
He quickly shut his mouth.
Because Hayes slapped him so hard he knocked him unconscious.
This is what his lord taught him.
If you encounter someone like that, slap them and see if they still go crazy.
