"Damn it, how do the people in Chidi City survive in this ghost place?"

The troops of Ruidi City and Baidi City had a hard time walking in the desert. For them who lived in the mountains and high mountains all year round, Chididi was like another world.

If they didn't have the map confirmed by the spies in their hands, they probably got lost in this endless yellow sand.

Even so, the vastness of the world made people feel a sense of fear in their hearts, and they didn't know how the people in Scarlet Emperor City survived in such a harsh environment.

"Drink less water, we don't know how long we will stay in this desert..."

"Emperor Rui and Emperor Bai attach great importance to this task. They only allow success and never fail. We must show the people in Scarlet Emperor City a little bit of color."

Before I finished speaking, suddenly...

"Do you smell anything burning?"

"How is it possible, there is nothing but sand in this place, except where did the materials we transported come from to ignite?"

"Right."

But suddenly, splash, the sound of water splashing wildly from the water tank that was delivered, the water tank was made of wood.

Is it an auditory hallucination? Turning around suspiciously, his entire face turned pale.

"No, the water tank is leaking!"

What

Water is the source of life in the desert.

It caused everyone to turn their heads in unison, and then saw that their water tank was actually on fire, and the water flowed out of the burned hole.

The whole army suddenly became chaotic, "Hurry up and put out the fire, and block the hole."

"Fortunately, we still have spare water tanks."

Crash.

"No, the spare water tank is on fire."

hiss…

"Our food, our food is on fire."

What

The burning smell is getting bigger and bigger, which is the smell of meat being burnt in the fire.

In the desert, a flame burst out, and then formed a flame dragon full of thick smoke.

The faces of the people in Baidi City and Ruidi City turned pale, what's going on

Why did the materials they transported catch fire for no reason? Without these things, how could they survive in this thousands of miles of desert

Meat is okay, and some can be saved from the fire, but what about the water

Almost all the people watched their water flow into the yellow sand and disappeared.

Gritting teeth.

But what the hell is going on? Why did it suddenly ignite without a sound and for no reason.

"Could it be the fire technique of Chidi City, they are the best at playing with fire."

"Impossible, even in Scarlet Emperor City, it is impossible to cast fire in such a silent manner." The experienced giant beast warrior said, they must have done a lot of homework when they sneaked into the Red Land.

The whole army was in chaos, trying to save their water and food, and it was just... extinguished here and started burning elsewhere.

Even individuals can see that there is something wrong with the fire, and it definitely did not start for no reason.

Looking at the supplies they couldn't save, the faces of the people in Baidi City and Ruidi City became extremely dark.

Someone in the army yelled, "Spread out, they must not be far away from us if they want to light the fire."

Finally gave up the things that saved them, anger made them decide to catch the culprit.

It's just that as soon as their voices fell, the yellow sand under their feet suddenly stirred up, as if there was a desert snake underneath, swimming away into the distance.

"It's Sand Walking, they're in the sand."

Sure enough, it is impossible to be too far away to cast fire, and they are actually hiding under their feet.

Are you so good at the art of sand, the Huangsha clan under the Red Emperor City

Everyone reacted, but the reaction time was different. They started chasing a few people out, but they retreated after a short chase. In this desert with long yellow sand, they did not dare to leave the large army.

As for the other people who reacted and prepared to pursue, the people under the sand had already run away.

The faces of the people in Baidi City and Ruidi City were not very good. They were attacked unexpectedly, and they suffered heavy losses. Although no one died, their eyes were red when they saw the supplies billowing in thick smoke.

What will they do without water and food

At this time, a gust of wind and sand blew, and the sound was mixed with the wind and sand, "Whoever violates my Red Emperor City, die!"

There was a sudden silence in the whole army.

Then there was an uproar, and it really was the people from Chidi City, it was the people from Chidi City who burned their supplies.

"Bastard, if you have the ability, come out and fight us head-on."

"Aren't the people in Red Emperor City so sinister and cunning?"

He gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, "Do you want to chase them? They hide their heads and tails, and dare not confront us head-on. There must not be many people."

"What are you chasing after? The wind and sand transmission technique they used just now, people don't know how far they have gone."

The people from the Yellow Sand Department did run away, and they also had lingering fears on their faces. They were just a patrol team, and a patrol team had only five people. However, they used the technique of walking in the sand to sneak attack a combat unit of the opponent just now.

It was also thanks to the fact that the other party was busy rescuing water and meat, and they were in such a mess that they didn't pay attention to check the surrounding situation. Normally, they might not be able to escape.

Looking at the magnifying glass in their hands, they have made great achievements this time. This silent fire may not seem to be very powerful, but it is extremely easy to use for sneak attacks.

"White Emperor City and Ruidi City actually sent troops into the Red Land without our knowledge. Judging from the materials they brought and the direction of travel, they should be planning to stay in the desert for a long time, and the purpose is probably our Red Emperor City."

"In any case, go back and report to Shaojun first, so that Shaojun can prepare early."

The patrolling team glanced at the direction of the thick smoke, then turned around and left. If they fought head-on, they really didn't dare to fight directly.

The troops of Baidi City and Ruidi City were in a bleak state.

They had suffered such heavy losses before the battle even started.

This is a great blow to their coalition forces.

"What should we do now? We don't have much water and food left, and we won't last long, or..."

How about we go back and leave Chidi, but he dare not say these words, just return in vain, without even seeing Chidi City, the faces of their Baidi City and Ruidi City have not been thrown into the sky went.

Gritting their teeth, in this situation, they have to swallow even broken teeth, "There is no need to go back, we are just the advance troops, let's slow down and wait for the troops behind to arrive, they have enough resources..."

The troops who were rushing to make meritorious service had to slow down and wait for support.

The yellow sand is long and there are many paths, or there are no paths at all. The caravans of various tribes that are rushing towards Chidi City in another direction also surpassed the troops of Baidi City and Ruidi City and walked ahead.

They were also discovered by the people from the Huangsha Department who were patrolling, but these merchants knew at a glance that their force value was not very good, and even the giant beasts were mostly giant beasts that held objects, and they had no combat effectiveness.

So the people from the Huangsha Department did not launch an attack, but were a little puzzled, "Isn't this a caravan?"

"No, what kind of caravan will come to our Chidi? It has never happened before."

"Let's go back and report to Young Master first. With their little force, it's okay to let them enter Chidi City."

Although I don't know why these caravans came to their Red Emperor City, but with their force, it is not worth worrying about by Red Emperor City.

At this time, Zhuang Yu was constructing his awning on a large scale.

Along the river, awnings were erected one by one.

Chidicheng was stunned. What are those rows of strange sheds reflecting light

From a distance, it was so beautiful and amazing that they couldn't describe what they saw with words.

Brilliant and sacred, these glass sheds are like miracles to those who have never seen them, especially after the sun rises, the eye-catching colors are like the most beautiful gems in the world.

It's just a mirror reflection.

Now almost everyone in Chidi City is watching the awning built by Zhuang Yu, which is no less than the pottery exhibition that Zhuang Yu made in Baidi City.

It was as lively as a celebration.

None of them knew what the awning was for, but the look alone had won them over.

The shelves of the awning are built with the leafless willows of the ghost willow family. The branches of the leafless willows are hard and drought-resistant, which is the best material. The shelves are covered with glass panels.

It didn't take long, though, for them to figure out what these pretty glowing sheds were for.

Because Zhuang Yu planted their devil fruit, soybeans, pepper, fragrant leaves, and garlic.

The people in Chidi City were stunned. Aren't they unable to grow anything except the grass for the cattle and sheep

Tried it a few years ago when they were growing green grass and nothing else would survive at all.

But a scene that shocked them appeared, and it was only the next day that the seeds Zhuang Yu planted took root and sprouted.

I was so surprised that I couldn't close my mouth, "It's actually a living!"

"There are other plants in our red land."

Unbelievable on the face.

A group of people looked around at the young seedlings that had just taken root and sprouted, their mouths were full of admiration, every young seedling was like something magical.

For them, it is indeed amazing enough, especially those who have never left Chidi City. Where have they seen these green species

"If it wasn't made by Shaojun, I would have thought I was dreaming."

"No, look at the young seedlings that look pretty good."

"I heard from Shaojun that these are condiments for food to improve the quality of life in our Chidi City." Speaking of this, I couldn't help swallowing, just the snowflake salt that Shaojun made, they He felt that the food was already delicious to the extreme, but Shaojun said that with these condiments, it would be even more delicious.

They couldn't believe what it would taste like, because they felt that the current barbecue and broth were unsurpassable.

At this time, Zhuang Yu was under the dam, paddling small mushrooms in the water, just like washing vegetables.

Little Mushroom's face was so excited that it made a superhuman move, allowing Zhuang Yu to hold it in his hand and paddle in the water, with his face facing the water, which was so much fun.

Zhuang Yu was also able to paddle vigorously, because in this way, the river water would irrigate the newly planted seeds, which would allow the seeds to take root and germinate faster, and the seedlings would also be stronger. With the addition of awnings, they could be planted alive.

The fact is indeed the case, his seeds have germinated, and they are all growing well.

The only bad thing was that Zhuang Yu raised his head to look at the shore, and Shaohao was standing there with a satisfied expression. Beside Shaohao, a few small trees had sprouted many new branches, which were very luxuriant.

To be honest, even Zhuang Yu was taken aback when he saw these young saplings, because they grew too fast.

He still remembered that when Shaohao planted it, it was just dry branches, but now they are all green...

The corners of Shaohao’s mouth are raised, his grove will be there soon, although the grove has fewer trees, but it is still a grove, right? Then they can...

Shaohao looked at Zhuang Yu, and then they could stay in the grove every day, he couldn't help licking his lips.

Seeing Shaohao's gaze, Zhuang Yu couldn't help but blushed, this guy must be thinking about those things.

Zhuang Yu took a peek at Shaohao's two-meter height and oppressive physique, and he could think of his screaming voice when the time came.

He quickly looked away and looked at the little mushroom pretending not to understand anything.

The little mushroom is paddling like a turtle with its small hands and feet, quickly paddle the mushroom into the water, and watch the mushroom ride the wind and waves.

At this time, the patrol team from the Huangsha Department also came back and found Zhuang Yu directly.

The two patrols who discovered the situation came back almost at the same time.

Zhuang Yu frowned after listening to the report.

The caravans of other tribes entered Chidi for the first time. Although the news was very bizarre, it was not serious enough to make Zhuang Yu frown.

Caravan, no matter what the purpose is, even if it is used as a cover, it must be for the exchange of supplies on the surface.

The caravans that have never entered Chidi City before, suddenly entered at this time, I am afraid it is because of the snowflake salt that has never appeared in Chidi City, because this is the only reason why they can enter Chidi City, even if it is an excuse, this is the caravan The only excuse to come.

But no matter what the reason is, this may not be a bad thing. Zhuang Yu has been trying to solve the problem of fast food consumption recently, and he planned to let the Jiaokang clan go out with the caravan again.

Now it seems that it is not necessary.

Turning his eyes, Zhuang Yu suddenly had an idea in his mind. There once appeared on the earth a legendary trade route called the Silk Road. Foreigners came to exchange silk, and then brought it back to the foreign country for sale. The price was comparable to gold. At that time, the Silk Road The road is extremely prosperous, even in modern times, people still don't forget its glory, and want to reproduce the great miracle of the Silk Road.

Zhuang Yu thought to himself, if these caravans really came for the snowflake salt, maybe he could really follow the example of the Silk Road and open up a trade route.

And once the trade route is formed, it will be the beginning of the prosperity of Red Emperor City.

The land of Scarlet Emperor City is very barren, even if it can be self-sufficient, it is impossible to have many rich supplies.

Zhuang Yu is now constantly improving the land environment, and it is only slightly improving the comfort level of Chidi City. To fundamentally change the fact that Chidi is barren, there is still a long way to go, and it will take time.

Therefore, in order for Red Emperor City to prosper rapidly, apart from what we are doing now, we still have to go out, or let other people come in and bring in abundant supplies, so as to ensure the needs of Red Emperor City.

And opening up a business route is the best entry point, and it seems that there is such an opportunity right now.

Zhuang Yu nodded, "I will properly arrange this matter."

As for the other piece of news, it was the reason why Zhuang Yu frowned.

It seems that he offended Baidi City and Ruidi City too badly.

Their coalition forces, in order to make a name for themselves, are planning to attack Chidi City.

However, the corners of Zhuang Yu's mouth turned upwards. This is their home field of Chidi City, and it is not so easy to take them into action.

As long as Baidi City and Ruidi City didn't fight to the death, their strength was greatly reduced, and even fell out of the determination of one of the five major forces, then Scarlet Emperor City would not be afraid.

The Red Emperor City can be ranked among the five major powers, and its strength is not weak. If it is really desperate, no matter whether it is the White Emperor City or the Ruidi City, it is impossible not to pay a heavy price.

But don't forget, the five forces, as well as Xuandi City and Qingdi City.

If the three of them fight desperately, who doesn't know that it will be cheaper then.

This is also the reason why Ruidi City is obviously the strongest among the five forces, but it dare not act recklessly.

The five forces restrain each other, and the complexity of the form is not as simple as it appears on the surface.
