70 Su Ming’s Lamentations

It was clear that the two of them had just arrived at the Elf tribe through the portal.

After seeing that the portal was really effective and there was no danger, the two of them were slightly excited.

When Su Ming saw them, they also saw him at the same time and immediately walked up to him.

“Great Prophet, we’ve succeeded!”

When Su Ming heard that, he smiled and nodded. He looked around once more, then turned to look at Zelda and spoke in a serious tone.

“Although this portal is deep within the Elf tribe…

“But there aren’t many young and strong Elves left in the Elf tribe.

“So, you have to send more Elven Warriors over to guard this place. We can’t give any possible enemies any chance to take advantage of us!”

Hearing this, Zelda quickly nodded. She looked very serious. “I understand! The Great Prophet!”

When Su Ming saw the serious look on her face, he nodded and did not say anything else.

Since he had already confirmed that there was no problem with the construction of the portal and that there was no problem with its use, there was no need for him to stay here.

“Let’s go,” he said.

After that, Su Ming brought Zelda and Dishan into the portal.

However, the moment he stepped into the portal, for some unknown reason, Su Ming turned his head around instinctively.

The scene behind him instantly stunned Su Ming.

Countless Elves, young or old, watched him and Zelda leave with a reluctant look.

However, he seemed to be afraid of disturbing them and delaying the time of these busy people.

That was why no matter how reluctant the spirits were, they did not make a sound. They just watched Su Ming and Zelda disappear before their eyes.

The scene before Su Ming’s eyes gradually darkened and was enveloped by the darkness of the space portal. He could no longer see the spirits.

However, Su Ming’s feelings had become slightly complicated.

In the past, Su Ming had only treated the people in the game as NPCs.

After all, objectively speaking, they were indeed just NPCs.

However, after seeing the scene just now, an idea emerged in his mind.

In the game world, from their perspective, they were not NPCs.

Every single one of them was a living person. They all had their own lives that might not be exciting enough, but they had their ups and downs.

They were not a bunch of cold data, their emotions were real.

Su Ming, who had experienced this in his previous life, could understand this feeling even more.

For them, ordinary and everyday life formed their ordinary and trivial happiness.

When he thought of this, Su Ming clenched his fists without realizing it, and his gaze slowly became determined.

In the past, he only wanted to develop his own power before the three-bodied people invaded.

Fortunately, in the final battle, he had to protect Earth and all the people he cared about.

However, right now, Su Ming felt that there were many people in the game world who were worth protecting!

“I should be working harder.”

Su Ming mumbled.

…

Once he returned to the Valley of the Spirits, the first thing Su Ming did was to look for Da Bai and Benben, who were playing in the water by the lake.

At this moment, Da Bai and Benben were surrounded by many curious little Elves.

This Turtle had a strange shape, especially when it was wearing a pair of round-framed sunglasses, which looked funny and cute.

Therefore, the little Elves wanted to tease it.

However, this Turtle probably thought that it looked quite domineering as it sat on Da Bai with its arms akimbo and a smug expression on its face.

Su Ming smiled helplessly. The heaviness in his heart was lifted by the funny and adorable scene before him.

As he thought about it, Su Ming walked up to Da Bai and picked up Benben Turtle.

Initially, this Turtle raised its eyelids and was about to get angry.

However, when she saw that it was Su Ming, she became listless and leaned into his embrace meekly.

Su Ming looked at it helplessly. Once he let the little spirits play by themselves, he got on Da Bai and headed out of the valley.

“Let’s go around the valley first.”

When it heard Su Ming’s words, Da Bai immediately nodded its head obediently, then walked out of the valley as per Su Ming’s orders.

When the Elf guarding the door saw the man and the two beasts, he immediately bowed respectfully.

The Turtle thought that he was bowing to it, so it immediately stood on Su Ming’s arrow and waved at the Elven warrior with an arrogant expression.

The Elven warrior had a hard time holding back his laughter. He did not want to embarrass himself in front of the Prophet.

After exiting the valley, Da Bai began to wander around the area.

Su Ming was observing the situation around the valley during this process.

The reason he had asked Da Bai to come out was not to patrol the Elf Valley.

It was not his place as a Prophet to do such a thing.

The reason he came out was to wander around the valley.

His main purpose was to observe the situation around the valley and see if it was suitable to expand the town.

After conquering the Barbarian tribe, there were basically no other tribes or clans in the vicinity that could threaten Su Ming’s tribe.

The tribe had also entered a stage of peaceful development.

Under such circumstances, the population would inevitably usher in an explosive period.

In that case, be it a place to live or food, the demand for resources would increase explosively in a short period of time.

That was why Su Ming had to plan ahead and develop the resources outside the valley.

At the very least, he had to expand his territory to a sufficiently large town in a sufficiently safe place.

This was also a task that Su Ming urgently needed to complete in the coming period of time.

Su Ming wandered around the area for about one to two hours, but the results he got were barely satisfactory.

If they expanded from the mouth of the valley, they could probably set aside a territory the size of a medium-sized town for the construction of a new town.

If they expanded any further, the terrain would be a little inconvenient.

There were either high mountains, basins, or swamps.

It would take a lot of effort to turn these places into normal habitable territories.

At least at the current stage, the return of investment and output were not proportional to the development of these places.

That was why Su Ming decided to use the piece of land he had drawn out as the territory for the development of his city.

Once he made his decision, Su Ming did not immediately return to the Valley of the Spirits.

Instead, he changed his direction and headed toward the Barbarian tribe.
