Wu Tu’s Map! New Monster!

In the Lord’s wooden house, the living room.

“My Lord, this is a map drawn by Wu Tu after exploring the Blazing Sun Desert today. It is a complete map of the Blazing Sun Desert area!” Bai Yi glanced at Wu Tu after giving her report.

Wu Tu looked nervous.

He walked towards Zhou Zhou and handed him the map with both hands upon hearing Bai Yi’s words.

Zhou Zhou took it and immediately started studying it.

An item notification appeared in front of him.

[Area Map Name: Blazing Sun Desert Map (Current Exploration Rate: 59%)]

[Map Quality: Black Iron-Tier]

[Total area: 523 square kilometers]

[Map Introduction: This map depicts the general terrain of the Blazing Sun Desert and the related map information! It includes the area, geographical scale, desert terrain distribution, the range and location of your own territory, the coverage of desert vegetation-type resource points, the range and activity of scattered monsters, the range and location of the Scarlet Lord’s territory, and the territory and location of the Lord of all races.]

“There’s actually an item notification!”

“Is this acknowledged by the Supreme Will?” Zhou Zhou looked at the map even more seriously, surprised at this development.

It was a one-meter-long by half-meter-wide yellowish-brown papyrus map which depicted an irregularly long and narrow desert terrain.

It looked remarkably lifelike with very vivid markings in many places.

For example, the location of Blazing Sun City was marked with a small sun.

There were also the ruins of the Desert Fog Lizard Territory and the ruins of the Black-tailed Fog Scorpion Territory. The two places that Zhou Zhou Zhou had captured had also been marked with the simple image of the Desert Fog Lizard and the image of the Black-tailed Fog Scorpion.

In addition, Zhou Zhou also saw a specific scale in the bottom left corner of the map, as well as some marks of desert vegetation, quicksand, and scattered monsters.

Other than that, he also saw two red highlights.

One was a simple human face marked as the territory of an unfamiliar human Lord about 30 kilometers northeast of Blazing Sun City.

There was a special label beside it: There were no more than 50 people inside this territory according to a preliminary assessment!

The other was the mark of a Scarlet Lord. Its specific label was Region-level Scarlet Lord — Sandman Lord’s Territory!

It was about 35 kilometers to the east of Blazing Sun City, and according to preliminary assessment, there were about 1,000 sandmen and fog monsters in it!

Zhou Zhou looked at the map in surprise.

Fear came from the unknown.

Originally, he did not know much about the overall environment of the Blazing Sun Desert.

Therefore, he subconsciously felt that his surroundings were very dangerous even though he already had thousands of soldiers.

That was why he had always gone all out because he did not want to fail miserably!

However, the rich information on this map immediately made Zhou Zhou feel much more at ease.

He even entertained the thought of trying to conquer the entire Blazing Sun Desert since he seemed to be able to take down the remaining two Lords’ territories after all!

This was the importance of information!

Without the information on this map, Zhou Zhou might have had the same thoughts without the confidence!

Zhou Zhou could not help but look at Wu Tu.

What a talent!

“Nice map. I love it.” Zhou Zhou said.

When Wu Tu heard this, joy immediately appeared on his originally anxious expression.

“Starting today, you’re the vice-captain of your scout team. In addition, this mechanostrider belongs to you now.” Zhou Zhou continued.

Wu Tu was stunned when he heard that. The Lord actually gave him such a huge reward for completing his first mission?

He remembered that the only other person in the territory who owned a mechanostrider was Bai Yi, who had followed Zhou Zhou from the beginning.

The others only had the right to use it. He had just become the second person after Bai Yi to own one!

When Wu Tu thought of this, he could not help but feel a little dazed.

No matter how perfectly he completed the task of drawing the map in the army previously, his higher-ups would only pay lip service without promoting him because he was still a child.

They were worried about handing over a higher position to him.

He had only joined this place for less than a day but he already obtained what he had always wanted.

It was not a higher position, nor was it a mechanostrider… But trust!

His Lordship was really different…

“You don’t have to be so surprised. I’ve seen your ability. Since it has reached the standard, I will naturally give you the corresponding reward and position so that you can unleash your ability.”

“However, even though you’re the vice-captain now, you should listen to others’ opinions when you encounter situations. Trust your teammates. They may not be as good at making maps as you are but there’s still a lot you can learn in other areas.”

“Don’t disappoint me.” Zhou Zhou smiled.

“Thank you, my Lord! Wu Tu will definitely not disappoint my Lord!” Wu Tu’s face flushed red with excitement.

“Keep working hard and you’ll have a chance to be the captain. Now, tell me in detail about these two territories.” Zhou Zhou smiled.

Wu Tu nodded excitedly.

Bai Yi smiled and took a step forward.

“Yes, My Lord. The standard ‘Unknown Human Lord’s Territory’ on this map was first discovered by us during our exploration.”

“We encountered a team of eight human soldiers with four Sword Shield Soldiers, three Spearmen, and one Bowman! They look similar to us humans. And I don’t know if I’m overthinking it but they were protecting the bowman behind them. I feel that his speech and accent is very similar to the Lord’s.”

Zhou Zhou raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Did they meet another Cerulean Planet Lord?

He did not say anything and continued to listen to Bai Yi.

“Subsequently, I followed them secretly and found their territory. I realized that their territory is also protected by the Novice Lord’s Protective Barrier.”

“I didn’t act rashly. I asked Wu Tu to record the location. After observing for a while, I continued to explore in the distance. That’s where we found the territory of this regional Lord, the Sandman Lord. He is a White Silver-Tier Elementary Grade Regional Scarlet Lord and he has about 1,000 Sandman under his command.”

“He is very powerful, so I didn’t approach rashly, but I did kill a lone sandman nearby and brought its corpse back. The body of the sandman is at the door now.” Bai Yi said.

“Let’s go take a look!” Zhou Zhou immediately stood up.

Bai Yi and the others naturally had no objections.

The three of them walked out of the room. Zhou Zhou quickly saw the corpse of the sandman.

Zhou Zhou was stunned at first glance.

This was because he realized that this Sandman’s corpse was very similar to the Sand Soldiers he had summoned with the Emperor of Sand’s spatial ring.

However, they did not have the standard equipment and weapons of the Sand Soldiers.
