Lord Survival: Start with planks to build an island empire

After Xia Xin took Xia Qingdai across the pass of the northern mountains, he scanned for a week.

The trees here were obviously taller and denser, and Xia Xin also saw a plant-type monster through his spiritual eye skills. This was the first plant-type monster he encountered on the island.

Xia Xin ignored the opponent because it was too weak and it would be a waste of time to deal with it.

Xia Xin headed due north, this time to explore the northern region.

"Qingdai, use your talent to sense from time to time and see if you can find anything." The reason why Xia Xin brought Xia Qingdai here this time was to see if he could find any mineral veins.

Now that I have the Ten Thousand Figures Orb, I can record these veins, and when I am strong enough and have enough manpower, I can mine them.

Although mineral veins can be obtained through resource cards, if mineral veins can be found on the island, why give up ready-made resources?

"I understand, Master, Qingdai will pay attention."

At first, the monsters Xia Xin encountered were easy to deal with. As Xia Xin progressed, the quality of the monsters became much higher and their strength became stronger and stronger.

what is that? Xia Xin stopped and looked ahead.

I saw a square wooden house in front of me. There were some plants attached to the wooden house and some small flowers were blooming.

Xia Xin was surprised and confused, how could a wooden house appear in such a deep mountain and old forest? No one lives in this kind of place, right?

Xia Zhixin turned his head and kept deducing various possibilities.

At this moment, the door of the wooden house opened, and an old man in a green robe walked out of the wooden house with a cane in his hand.

He has short green slightly curly shawl hair, some wrinkles on his face, and green eyes.

Just when Xia Xin was observing the other party, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Xia Xin. Xia Xin's eyes jumped. Was he discovered?

Xia Xin made no move, he was afraid that the other party was deceiving him.

"My little friend, why don't you come in and have a drink since you're here?" The old man turned around and looked in the direction of Xia Xin and said loudly.

Seeing that Xia Xin made no move, the old man smiled softly and said again: "Little friend, come here with the elves beside you!"

Xia Xin knew that the other party had really discovered him, so he stopped hiding and revealed his figure from behind the trees.

He looked at the old man opposite and said, "Old man, I came here by mistake. I have no ill intentions. I will leave now."

Naturally, Xia Xin would not come forward to chat. Who knew what kind of existence the other party was and what his attitude was toward him? Xia Xin didn't want to take risks, the existence of this old man was too weird.

"Hahaha, little friend, don't be in a hurry to leave. I haven't met a human being here for a long time. I want to communicate with you and relieve my loneliness." The old man smiled loudly to persuade him to stay.

Xia Xin didn't want to stay, and said, "Old man, I have something urgent to do, so I'll leave first."

Turn around and leave.

However, a green light curtain suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking him.

Xia Xin directly transformed into the form of a demon dragon, released the skills Demon Dragon Armor, Demon Blood Boiling Skill, took out the Heavenly Dragon Spear, and hit the light curtain.

After seeing Xia Xin's demon dragon form, the old man showed a look of surprise. However, he did not make any move and just looked at Xia Xin with a smile.

Xia Xin's Tianlong Spear hit the light curtain, only causing ripples but not causing any damage.

Xia Xin tried a few more times, but found that he was still unable to do anything. He knew that his strength was not enough for the old man.

He quickly took out a magic scroll and kept it handy, just in case something unexpected happened.

[Frozen for Thousands of Miles (Gold)]: Magic scroll, after use, you can cast magic to freeze for thousands of miles, causing large-scale damage.

This scroll was obtained by Xia Xin in the mermaid territory. The golden quality scroll is enough to cause damage to beings above 24.

It's just that this is a range scroll. This thing can't distinguish between friend and foe. Its attack range is extremely wide. Xia Xin won't use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

Because it is entirely possible that every time the enemy is killed, he himself will be frozen to death first.

When the old man saw the magic scroll in Xia Xin's hand, his smiling face finally changed.

"My little friend, please don't be impulsive. I have no ill intentions towards you." The old man said quickly, fearing that Xia Xin would use the magic scroll.

He could tell that this was a golden quality magic scroll. Although this thing could not cause much harm to him, it was still a bit troublesome.

He didn't want to conflict with Xia Xin, he really wanted to communicate with Xia Xin.

Seeing that Xia Xin still didn't move, he lifted the barrier blocking Xia Xin, and then said: "Little friend, I was just joking with you. The reason why I don't want you to leave is just to communicate with you."

Seeing that Xia Xin still looked wary, he explained: "I have been on this island for a long time, so long that I can't remember how long it has been. I have almost never encountered human beings, so after meeting you, I want to understand Let’s talk about human affairs outside.”

Xia Xin felt a little relieved when he saw that the other party had real feelings and didn't look like a show.

Moreover, the other party was obviously wary of the magic scroll in his hand and would not dare to act rashly even if he thought about it.

From what the other party said, he has been on this island for a long time, so isn't he very familiar with this island? Can I get some useful information from him?

The idea turned around and I felt like I could give it a try.

"Okay, don't act rashly, let's talk like this." Xia Xin said.

The old man smiled bitterly. He didn't expect this human being to be so cautious. If he had known better, he wouldn't have teased him.

"My little friend, I really have no ill intentions towards you. If you don't believe me, just ask the elf next to you."

Xia Xin looked at Xia Qingdai in confusion. Does the wood elf still have the ability to sense malice?

Xia Qingdai knew why her master was looking at her. She stared at the old man, then closed her eyes to sense it. After opening her eyes, her eyes were a little confused.

"Master, he does not have any ill intentions towards us." Xia Qingdai said.

"Qingdai, can you still sense whether others have malice towards us?" Xia Xin didn't know when Xia Qingdai had this ability.

"Master, I can only sense him." Xia Qingdai was a little embarrassed. She was not as powerful as the master thought.

"Don't worry, little friend, she can only sense my good and evil, because I am special." The old man said with a smile.

"I know my little friend has a lot of doubts. We can talk slowly and answer your questions."

When Xia Xin heard what Qingdai said, he believed it and walked towards the old man. However, he still held the magic scroll in his hand, so intimidation was indispensable.

The old man couldn't help his eyelids twitching when he saw Xia Xin walking towards him with the magic scroll in his hand.
