Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 524: Chapter 27 Reaping a Rich Harvest and Young Outstanding Clan Member_2

It must be said that Lady Bilian, the strong woman who took control of the Yuwen Clan during its decline and single-handedly propped up the family, has shown her astute intelligence through just this thank-you gift.

Though sometimes, this woman’s thoughts are rather mysterious and strange, leaving Wang Shouzhe often unable to fathom what she really thinks. But after all, this woman operated on a grand scale!

“The lady is thoughtful~”

Wang Shouzhe thanked Lady Bilian for her kindness, then happily accepted the Na Ling Jade Box and the gold tickets. How could he not be happy? This “simple” task had brought him many benefits. Not only had he gained these treasures, his bloodline had also elevated to the third level peak, and he had also gained the “friendship” of the Seven-tailed Fire Fox to become a powerful ally in the future.

For Wang Shouzhe, the simpler the task, the better.

After settling the rewards, Wang Shouzhe stayed at the Yuwen Clan for a few days. He enjoyed all the delicious food in the New City with the accompaniment of the clan members. He then set off home, feeling somewhat eager to return. After all, as the Family Head, it was always a little uneasy being away from the clan for too long.

…

Almost at the same time.

Changning Mansion, Ping’an Town.

The rugged remnants of the Six Flat Mountains, like a giant sleeping dragon, stretched across the south of Ping’an Town, piercing through the Peace River, separating the entire Ping’an Town from the rolling mountains south of the Peace River.

At this time, it was almost summer outside the mountains, but within the mountains, the spring was still in full bloom. Various mountain flowers were in full bloom, adding a hint of color to the sprawling mountain ranges. Overlooking from above, it was like a colorful canvas laid out, beautiful to behold.

However, beneath this canvas, it was not entirely safe but hid numerous unknown crises.

At this moment, in the complex terrain of the remnants of Six Flat Mountain, a team of more than ten people was exploring and advancing through the mountains.

Regular porter beasts like horses and cows had no use in the complex mountain environment. Therefore, in this team, the beasts responsible for carrying personal belongings were a kind of goat-like creature called the Panhorn Porter Goat.

They are good at climbing rugged rock cliffs and can walk on rugged mountain roads as if on flat ground. They are good partners that the barbarian tribes have tamed over the long years, capable of helping humans carry light supplies in the mountains.

The surrounding areas of the Changning Wang Clan were mostly hills and mountains, and the outskirts were the long and steep remnants of the Six Flat Mountains. Therefore, through their own pasture channels, the Changning Wang Clan managed to obtain a batch of the Panhorn Porter Goats, specifically for exploration and patrol of the surrounding mountains.

The Six Flat Mountain remnants were towering and steep, with countless gullies and canyons. Even though the Wang family had been stationed in Ping’an Town for one to two hundred years, they were still unable to penetrate deep into the complex mountain range.

But this was a task that needed to be done.

If they couldn’t map out all the surrounding mountains and eliminate some of the residual fierce beasts or other hidden dangers, it would be like invisible landmines. Who knows when it might suddenly erupt.

Especially after the Beast Disaster years ago, many fierce beasts fled deep into the surrounding mountains. Over the past six or seven decades, there have been occasional sightings of Level One or Level Two fierce beasts around Ping’an Town, even causing serious incidents of biting and killing people and livestock.

As a result, the now powerful Wang Clan decided ten years ago to allocate a portion of their resources to “clean up” the “snakes and insects” in their “yard”, survey detailed maps of the mountains, and identify various special locations.

The so-called special locations include small or micro-spirit veins, mineral deposits, special medicinal herbs, heaven and earth treasures, or some barely cultivatable but very laborious valley areas, and so on.

In the past ten years.

The Wang Clan has been constantly “clearing the fog” in the surrounding mountain ranges. Overall, about 30% of the work has been completed. They have also discovered some special locations from time to time, which have been marked on the map. When the time and opportunity are right, they will be incorporated into the Clan’s development plan.

Since the Changning Wang Clan implemented a family contribution point system, and this contribution system has been improved and perfected over time, these low-risk, high-contribution exploration tasks have been well received by the younger generation of the Clan.

With enough luck, discovering precious mineral deposits or small spirit veins can earn a lot of contribution points.

The only minor regret for the young members is that only those over the age of sixteen, or those who have reached the Spirit Platform Realm but have not yet turned sixteen, are allowed to take on the “clear the peripheral environment fog task” after receiving relevant education and assessment.

What the young generation of the Wang Clan does not know is that this limitation was firmly proposed by the Family Head Wang Shouzhe. The reason is simple, to prevent someone like his elder niece Wang Licui from randomly eating anything she caught. It’s all well and good that she eats random things, but it becomes a problem when she brings them back and feeds them to the children.

Although that event turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the children, wrong is wrong. Just because good came out of a blunder one time, doesn’t mean a blunder is not a blunder.

The Wang Clan of Changning was already small in number and it took great effort for the young generation to flourish a bit. Wang Shouzhe was counting on them to work hard for the rise of the Wang Clan, reproduce more descendants, and increase the clan population.
