Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Three Days to Build a Shocking Outpost!
Green Vine looked up at Logan, her eyes wide with disbelief. “You actually have so many black ants?”
“No matter how many black ants you have, they can’t replace skilled workers. Three days is still too tight.”
“You’re only seeing the usual methods,” Logan said with a smile, shaking his head.
He snapped his fingers and opened hundreds of space gates at once.
Like a dark tide, a massive black ant army poured out, instantly filling nearly half the platform. There was no chaos—only perfect, orderly ranks.
At the front, the Golden Ant King waved its antennae and issued clear commands.
The worker ants quickly spread out, releasing a milky, sticky substance from their abdomens. Mixed with rock fragments on the platform, this material spread across the ground and hardened in just seconds.
Green Vine stepped forward and pressed her fingertip hard onto the now-solid surface. The hardness far exceeded any alloy she had ever seen.
Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed in the sky. Above them, an Ashen Dragon legion emerged from the clouds, diving down like a storm.
The leading Dragon Emperor, Sirliya, shot sharp black thorns from his body, precisely cutting away the extra branches extending from the World Tree.
Where the thorns passed, the tough wooden trunks were sliced cleanly, with no splinters left behind.
Adult Ashen Dragons used their huge claws to pick up the cut stone blocks and place them exactly where they were needed on the foundation.
The black ant army moved in right after, using their sticky secretions to bind the stones firmly together.
As time ticked by, a tall, strong wall began to rise quickly on the once-empty platform.
In just a few hours, the main structure of the wall was already complete.
Green Vine instinctively stepped back two times, hitting the trunk of the World Tree before she stopped.
Staring at the towering wall rising before her, her pupils shrank slightly, and she was left speechless.
Finally, she understood: everything Logan had said was true.
This human truly had the ability to build a complete outpost here within just three days.
At the same time, inside the meeting hall of the spirit tribe:
Five tribal leaders sat around a stone table, the air heavy with tension.
They were Ironthorn, leader of the Thorn Tribe; Verid, leader of the Vine Tribe; Heartwood, leader of the Ancient Tree Tribe; Vivian , leader of the Flower Whispers Tribe; and Lithos , leader of the Root System Tribe.
All five were rulers of their respective tribes, each possessing at least 30-star Legend stage power.
Ironthorn slammed his hand on the stone table, cracking its surface with fine lines.
He stood up, his thorny vines surging uncontrollably around him as he shouted in anger: “A mere human dares to settle on the crown of the World Tree!”
“And claiming he can build an outpost in three days? That’s nothing less than a direct challenge to the entire spirit tribe!”
Verid leaned back in his stone chair, a cold smile on his lips. “He’s probably just full of hot air.”
“We know better than anyone how hard the native rocks of the World Tree are. We’ve lived here for generations.”
“I’ll bet you three days later, he won’t even finish a complete foundation.”
“And if he really does it, I, Verid, will kneel right here and call him Dad.”
“I also think he’s talking big,” Lithos rumbled, grinding his fists until they cracked.
“We’ve mined the mineral veins under the World Tree for over a thousand years, and we haven’t even cracked through much. What can one outsider human possibly do?”
Vivian gently swayed a petal on her fingertip. The sharp thorns on it gleamed coldly. “Building an outpost in three days? He probably can’t even draw a basic energy circuit.”
Heartwood silently nodded, his old voice slowly rising. “Let’s go check it out in three days.”
“If he truly dares to mess with the World Tree, we will join forces and drive him and his people out.”
The five exchanged glances and nodded, all wearing expressions of eager curiosity.
They simply didn’t believe Logan could pull off such an impossible task.
On the morning of the first day, as dawn barely lightened the sky, Logan released Gilded Rat Tony from his familiar space.
Tony shook his fluffy tail and scurried around the platform on his tiny legs.
He raised his head, his pink nose twitching as he sniffed the air, searching for the scent of mineral veins.
“Master! I found something!” Tony stopped suddenly, pointing his tiny claw deep into the roots of the World Tree.
“There’s a super-rich vein three hundred meters underground!”
“It’s 99% pure S-level energy crystal ore, and there’s more than one!”
A smile flashed across Logan’s eyes as he immediately gave the order.
Under the command of the Golden Ant King, the black ant army surged toward the direction Tony indicated.
The worker ants handled the digging; their mandibles could effortlessly crush hard rock, and their digging speed was astonishing. The soldier ants handled transport, neatly packing the excavated ores and ferrying them back to the surface nonstop.
As time slipped by, dusk of the first day arrived quickly.
In just that one day, the black ant army discovered three entirely new, large ore veins. Each vein was incredibly rich, far exceeding any mine the spirit tribe had ever known.
By the end of the day, the total amount of S-level energy crystals they had mined reached 200,000 tons.
Green Vine stood before a mountain of energy crystals, her body trembling slightly.
The crystals formed hills over ten meters high, flashing with a dark blue light under the sunset, so bright it made it hard to keep your eyes open.
She had lived for nearly a century and led the spirit tribe in mining around the World Tree for decades.
She had never seen anyone with such terrifying mining efficiency.
Green Vine opened her mouth, her throat bobbing, but she couldn’t say a single word. The shock was so overwhelming that she was barely able to speak.
Dawn broke on the second day.
Logan activated his golden cheat, a rare ability he hadn’t used in a long time. A faint golden glow flickered in his eyes.
His vision pierced through the layers of the World Tree’s wooden trunk, scanning every inch of the area.
Soon, he pinpointed a zone rich in intense life energy.
[Name]: Herbal Field
[Function]: Cultivating spiritual herbs
[Tip]: Building Rune Arrays with spirit stones can drastically speed up cultivation. The more spirit stones used, the faster the growth.
Logan walked to the area and began preparing the soil according to the optimal plan provided.
He waved his hand, and a flood of S-level energy crystals flew from his storage space, landing precisely on the ground.
The crystals arranged themselves in a specific formation, creating a massive amplification array.
The moment the array activated, a surge of life energy poured out, covering the entire zone.
After a quick inspection, Logan found the cultivation efficiency of this field was over ten thousand times higher than that of ordinary fields!
Next, he took the spiritual herb seeds provided by the spirit tribe and casually scattered them across the field.
As soon as the seeds touched the soil soaked in life energy, they took root and sprouted. Tender green shoots grew upward at a speed visible to the naked eye, flourishing wildly.
Hidden behind a nearby branch, spies sent by the five spirit tribe leaders watched the scene with wide, bulging eyes and jaws dropped to the floor.
Three hours later, the tiny sprouts had grown into mature, hundred-year-old plants.
By sunset, the entire field was filled with thousand-year-old Nine-Leaf Blade Grass, its leaves swaying gently in the evening breeze.
The spies couldn’t hold back anymore. They turned and ran.
Scrambling on all fours, they rushed toward the spirit tribe meeting hall to report this earth-shattering news to the leaders.
After hearing the report, the five leaders looked at each other, their mockery and disdain completely vanished.
In their place were signs of panic and unease they couldn’t hide.
Finally, they realized that Logan might actually not be boasting.
Dawn of the third day.
Logan found Green Vine and ordered her to lead the spirit tribe in clearing the dangerous Blood Cultivation Regions around the World Tree.
Green Vine frowned, her expression clouding with worry.
Those Blood Cultivation Regions were leftovers from ancient times, filled with dangerous, chaotic energy currents.
Even if she led the entire spirit tribe to clean them up, it would take at least half a month.
She looked at Logan and said with concern, “There are too many dangerous Blood Cultivation Regions nearby.”
“Our spirit tribe doesn’t have enough hands to clear everything in just one day.”
Logan just smiled and waved his hand, giving the order directly.
Over a thousand Legend stage Ashen Dragons immediately flew toward the Blood Cultivation Regions.
A separate unit of the black ant army followed right behind the dragons.
Logan had set up a perfect coordination plan for them, maximizing their efficiency.
The Ashen Dragons led the way, spewing dragon fire to destroy the core barriers of the Blood Cultivation Regions.
Wherever the fire swept, the chaotic energy was instantly neutralized, and the Blood Cultivation Regions shattered.
The spirit tribe moved in next to collect valuable resources and rare plants left behind in the shattered regions.
The black ant army came last, responsible for transporting all the cleared supplies, making sure nothing was wasted.
The entire process was seamless, with no delays.
The cleaning speed was astonishingly fast, far beyond Green Vine’s imagination.
By the afternoon of the third day, all dangerous Blood Cultivation Regions within a fifty-mile radius of the World Tree were cleared.
The safe zone was finally complete.
And on the platform atop the World Tree, a full-sized town stood tall.
The walls, built from black ant secretions, were high and strong, etched with defensive runes.
The buildings inside the town were arranged neatly, and the energy supply system was fully set up and ready to use.
The spirit fields grew at ten thousand times normal speed, filling the air with a fragrant scent, while the ore veins continued to produce energy crystals endlessly.
The whole town looked prosperous and full of life.
On the morning of the third day, the five leaders of the spirit tribe arrived at the platform with their respective fighting forces.
Originally, they had planned to attack Logan immediately if he dared to act recklessly, using force to kick him out.
But as soon as they saw the scene before them, everyone froze in place.
