Ranch Story: Start Over

Gotz's gaze was looking towards the Goddess Peak along the Goddess Peak tributary next to the water mill.

He shook his head, seeming a little puzzled, and then said to Feng Ling:

"I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that the water flow here seems to be much less turbulent than before. Feng Ling, do you want to find some time to go up and check it out?"

Feng Qingyang, who had been taking a nap nearby, suddenly spoke up:

"Yes, the water flow at Shennv Peak is not as high as before, Feng'er. It's summer now. When the dry season arrives in winter, the water flow here will be even lower. If you have time, you must go to Shennv Lake on Shennv Peak to take a look.

Previously we thought that beavers had settled there and blocked the river, but now that we want to use it, we have to find out the truth and solve this problem, otherwise the water mill cannot be activated due to insufficient water flow."

"On the Goddess Peak?"

Feng Ling has never been there. One reason is that the road is far, and the other is that there is no need to be there for the time being. However, if the beavers have really settled there and blocked the river, he still has to go and clean it up.

"Okay grandpa, I'll find time to go up and take a look later. Uncle Gotz, let's go."

After a brief meal, the two drove away, and Feng Qingyang, lying by the well, looked at the four young men working hard in the distance. Yun Feifei had already put the food directly into the lunch box and sent it to the field. Feng Qingyang closed his eyes with satisfaction and took another nap, looking extremely comfortable.

After Feng Ling sent Gotz home, he drove the car back to the entrance of Nanshan Mountain, and the task of cutting down the towering trees officially began.

This time when Li Ke came to pick him up, he drove a small pickup truck with strong power. Now Feng Ling could use the pickup truck to carry the towering trees back. But, weren't 10 meters each tree too long? Could he carry them back?

After carefully observing the car body, Feng Ling found that he could really bring it back. He just needed to tie the towering wood to the roof of the car and pull it diagonally to go back.

I can handle the whole process by myself, since I am a second-level magic swordsman with strong strength.

Next, Feng Ling checked the magic recovery buff of his body. Nanshan is a good place.

Seeing that the environmental buff was still 100% of the first time he came, his basic recovery speed was 20%, and then the lord buff was 5%. Before leaving, Feng Ling specially ate a bowl of leftovers from lunch, and there was a 10% magic power and physical strength recovery effect. These were all preparations he made to prevent his magic power and physical strength from not being able to keep up when cutting down the towering trees.

Now, the magic power recovery speed is superimposed to 135% under multiple types of recovery effects. This is really good news. As for physical strength, that is not a problem. Feng Ling has put the pancakes and meat made at noon in the car. Eating these can recover the fastest for physical strength.

"Total Formula!"

Feng Ling directly took out the axe that his grandfather left for him to chop down trees. He didn't know what material the axe with strength added by 1 was made of. It was a precious item rewarded to his grandfather by the empire. It looked very cheap, but the chopping effect was better than he had imagined.

When Feng Ling practiced the general formula of Dugu Nine Swords, he swung his axe and chopped at the base of the towering tree. Then, the magic power that was supposed to transform into sword energy also followed and chopped at the base of the towering tree. Wood chips flew everywhere. After the sharp sword energy chopped, a huge gap appeared in front of Feng Ling's eyes.

With only 100 points of magic power and 100 points of physical strength lost, Feng Ling chopped a huge gap of 4/5 of the towering tree with a diameter of nearly one meter. With just two more chops, the towering tree would fall down.

Feng Ling finally experienced the power of the giant axe in his hand. Not only was it fun to use, but the felling efficiency was also greatly improved. In the game, this axe needs to be upgraded with the transformation of ore, but it is not necessary now.

Full of confidence, Feng Ling used the detection technique to carefully check the properties of the axe:

Tool: War Axe

Features: Ignore defense attribute -50%

Self-repair 20% durability per natural day, recovery in five natural days

Subsequent features to be unlocked: Progress 1/1000

Durability: 95/100

Evaluation: The top artifact for destroying the fortress, held by the demon commander General Carlos, was stolen and handed over by the god-level thief Sikong Ming. Later, the principality rewarded Feng Qingyang the swordsman. After falling to this point, my protagonist, your tree-cutting weapon is here!

This! It's outrageous. The artifact used to attack the city was stolen, and then hidden by my grandfather until now, and he used it to chop firewood.

Thinking about how I had used a light sword to chop a door panel with great effort that day, I realized how stupid I was.

However, this thing is limited by durability, but fortunately it can repair itself. As expected, the artifact is an artifact, but it is not outrageous. I am not destined to be invincible.

But this is also a very good result. The magic recovery speed here is so fast that Li Ke’s small pickup truck can easily carry 20 towering trees. In this case, let’s get to work!

Feng Ling took the war axe and began to charge up, while at the same time using the Dugu Nine Swords' breaking moves. When the axe charged from slightly glowing to a red state, Feng Ling chopped it down again with the axe.

"Crack!"

The towering tree broke with a loud noise, and its huge trunk fell to the ground with a loud bang, raising a huge cloud of dust.

This time, Feng Ling directly lost 200 magic power and 100 physical strength.

The first stage of charging the war axe consumes 200 magic points. When combined with the Dugu Nine Swords, it can chop down a towering tree with one axe. Feng Ling recalled the experience of using the war axe for ordinary chopping that day. The effect was so touching.

Just like that, Feng Ling stayed in the towering tree forest for two hours. Fortunately, his magic power recovered fast enough. After more than an hour, Feng Ling finally chopped down 13 towering trees. A full-attribute artifact could chop down 20 towering trees each time it launched a charged attack. Just these 13 towering trees consumed a lot of Feng Ling's magic power and physical strength.

Moreover, it really couldn't fit more. Feng Ling thought he could stuff more, but he was overthinking it. The small pickup truck was a bit like a mule hanging in the air, and it was about to tilt its head.

Feng Ling had no choice but to go back with these 13 huge towering trees. He couldn't drive fast on the road. Safety was the first priority, especially since he was borrowing Li Ke's delivery truck. If he broke it, it would leave a bad impression on others and it would be awkward to meet them in the future.

Coming down from the South Mountain and driving onto the ranch's former main road, Feng Ling finally felt at ease. The long towering wood was only 5 meters away from the carriage, and the rest of the way was dragged outside. Fortunately, this mountain road and the ranch's main road were not the kind of bumpy and rotten roads. Feng Ling finally transported all the towering wood back safely.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw Yun Feifei running towards me in surprise, with an incredible look on her face.

"Oh my god, Feng Ling, you actually cut down so many towering trees, how did you do it?"

Feng Ling looked at Feng Qingyang on the recliner and said with a smile:

"I'm sorry, I won't pass on this secret skill to anyone else."

"That's right. The only forest of towering trees in Mineral Town is also yours. It's just that so many years have passed, and old man Feng Qingyang has grown old and no longer wants to move these trees. But that doesn't mean his descendants can't cut them down."

There is no way. Ordinary people would only take the trouble to cut down special war materials such as towering trees to build main beam supports. Normally, who would want to deal with this incredibly hard and tough wood?

"Sister Yun, how is their work going? Adding the amount of land I reclaimed before, do they have a piece of land now?"
