Upon hearing the warning, Lin Xu's eyes flashed, and he immediately found a large tree, jumped onto it, and looked at Wang En, who was fleeing in the distance.
Wang En has already run quite far and is moving at a great speed. At the current speed of Linxu Island, it is not possible to catch up with this knight for the time being.
However, as the knight ran, the space behind him kept fluctuating, and then a large number of items and resources fell out and landed in the void.
Wang En ran a long way, losing things along the way, until finally he had nothing left to lose, and then he gradually disappeared from sight.
Lin Xu smiled slightly.
It seems that Wang En has indeed lost his status as the island's owner.
In this way, Wang En effectively lost his personal space.
That's why the items in Wang En's space fell out.
Although Wang En couldn't possibly drop everything, he could carry those small, precious items with him.
However, most of his possessions, such as the various seeds and precious materials on the island, would inevitably be left behind, as he could not carry them with him.
A knight's wealth must be quite substantial, enough to allow him to make a significant fortune.
As for the things Wang En took away, Lin Xu felt that there would be a chance to find Chen Shaojie later.
Wang En will definitely hand over all the good stuff to Chen Shaojie. As long as Chen Shaojie is dealt with, those good things will eventually fall back into his hands.
Lin Xu confirmed that Wang En had escaped far away, and then came to the edge of Knight Island, looking at the ordinary longship islands in the distance.
Those islands are inhabited by henchmen like Qin Liang.
When these people first saw Lin Xu's surprise attack on Knight Island, they all rushed over to try to help Wang En.
However, only a dozen minutes have passed since the start of the battle, and Lin Xu has already occupied Knight Island.
The so-called knight, Wang En, even hurriedly escaped in an escape vehicle.
The island lords of the longship islands below were all stunned.
"What happened? A knight was easily driven away like that?"
"That island must belong to Lin Xu, right? He's just a commoner, yet he's occupied Knight Island!"
What do we do?
"What else can we do but run!"
The island owners sent messages in the group one after another, and then the island owner who reacted the fastest ordered the island to turn around.
He wanted to take advantage of Lin Xu's busy dealing with Knight Island to escape this terrifying demon as quickly as possible.
However, just as the first island owner tried to turn around, Lin Xu had already noticed the actions of the other island owners.
Lin Xu's lips curled up:
"Trying to run? Did you get my permission?"
Not long after, all 10 of the puppet islands, including the transport island, were disarmed and left in place.
As for the island owners and combat slaves on the island, because they had signed the most stringent contracts with Chen Shaojie, Lin Xu could not turn these people into mining slaves unless he found Chen Shaojie.
Lin Xu also pressed these island lords about their development history during this period and discovered that, without exception, all of them had slaughtered civilian island lords.
So at this moment, these islands have become very quiet.
Whether it was the group of lackeys who were island lords or those combat slaves, they had long since turned into pieces of corpses, falling into the void and becoming darkness.
As for the identity scroll and the killing curse left behind by the island lord after his death, Lin Xu accepted them all and absorbed them into his own island lord system.
Lin Xu is now waiting for Xiao Yu and Tao Yao to take action and retrieve the resources that Wang En dropped in the distance.
Then he can begin to take stock of the resources and check the gains from this battle.
...
Before we knew it, night had fallen.
Lin Xu has now completely figured out what he gained from this battle.
He was currently eating that enormous king crab, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Because the gains this time were indeed quite substantial.
First and foremost, there's the territory.
Knight Island and Transport Island are far larger than ordinary minion island lords.
After all, the main purpose of noble island lords killing commoner island lords is to plunder their bases and territories.
The transport island, responsible for transporting these resources, and the knight island, which is itself a noble territory, naturally have very rich resources.
Including the nine ordinary longship islands, Lin Xu's current island area has reached 1,000 square meters.
Lin Xu Island's 1,000 square meters is not the size of an ordinary island.
His island blocks are all stacked.
At this point, he stacked the weakest block, reaching a total of 30 layers.
Based on this calculation, his actual territory is at least 30 square kilometers.
Not to mention, he gained a large amount of territory this time, which allowed many blocks to be stacked up to 100 layers, so the actual area is definitely larger than 30 square kilometers.
Whether it was Chen Shaojie's arrangement or Wang En's group's preference, Wang En's group's island, like Qin Liang's group's, had many saltwater blocks.
Lin Xu stacked these blocks with the dirt blocks, turning them into ocean blocks again.
The ocean blocks on his island now cover a full 300 square meters, with 290 blocks stacked on top of each other in 30 layers, and another 10 blocks stacked on top of each other in 100 layers.
This was the first time Lin Xu had ever seen the properties of 100 layers of stacked ocean blocks.
A qualitative change has indeed occurred.
The ocean blocks have begun to steadily generate schools of fish, and the number of fish species has reached 5.
Additionally, if the ocean block reaches the deep sea level, ocean treasures will reliably appear.
This treasure is somewhat like a ruin; after being salvaged, you will obtain some resources.
However, compared to ruins, treasures are of a lower level and will not contain advanced technology, but they may occasionally contain inherited items.
If you can keep getting treasures, it's like having a stable channel to acquire skills.
Island owners typically don't have ocean blocks; they can only convert saltwater blocks into deep-sea blocks.
Treasures appear randomly when blocks are created, and there is only one chance for them to appear. Even if the block's attributes are changed afterward, the treasure will not reappear.
Therefore, if many island owners want to keep obtaining treasures, they need to continuously acquire saltwater blocks and expand the ocean.
This requires a large number of bases and has a very low success rate. Treasures are something that can only be found by chance. Even if an island owner creates hundreds of kilometers of deep-sea blocks, he may not actually be able to obtain a treasure.
However, after Lin Xu stacked the ocean blocks to 100 layers, he received a prompt.
The ocean block has been given a new feature.
When the number of high-grade fish inside the ocean block reaches 10,000, a treasure will randomly spawn at sunset each day.
The type of treasure will vary depending on the species of fish.
If the treasure is not successfully retrieved by night, it will disappear and respawn the next day.
Upon seeing this characteristic, Lin Xu even thought he was seeing things.
Treasure is practically equivalent to a small ruin; even in legends and stories, no one claims to be able to reliably obtain it.
"Is this the potential of stacked talents...?"
Lin Xu smacked his lips, feeling even more awe at the terrifying nature of his abilities.
Even top-tier island lords can only dream of such things, but he can easily obtain them by accumulating talent.
"Stacking ocean blocks 100 times will reliably yield treasure, but the more blocks there are and the larger the treasure will be. In other words, I will need to expand the ocean blocks by 100 more layers in the future to make the treasure even larger."
Lin Xu had already figured out some of the characteristics of the ocean blocks and decided to make such modifications in the future, trying to make the ocean blocks stacked in 100 layers.
However, only if the ocean block has a sufficient area can it raise a sufficient number of high-end fish.
Otherwise, the fish will either be small, ordinary fish, or the ecosystem will be unstable, and large numbers of high-quality fish will die.
Given the current size of the ocean blocks, once the high-end fish fully reproduce, their numbers will barely reach 10,000.
Therefore, 300 square meters should be the minimum area for ocean blocks to refresh treasures.
If you want to expand this resource in the future, the ocean block cannot be smaller than this area.
After dealing with the ocean blocks, Lin Xu turned his attention to some other blocks...
