"I have no right to care about you? What are you doing?"

"In the past two months, Baiquan Mountain is only a few hundred miles away from here, and thousands of mining slaves haven't even completed building their own shelters?"

"So many days, so many people, and not even the most basic mine has been dug in Cold Creek Valley. What on earth have you been doing these days?"

"Also, where are the food and grass for humans, the meat for beasts of burden and war animals, and the tools needed to explore and mine mineral veins? You just wasted two months here?"

Under the starlight, Ji Xia waved her long arms and scolded two lazy and indifferent muscular men in a stern voice.

Two strong men wore metal armor that was rare in the Southern Wilderness, and wore heavy long swords with strong mana fluctuations at their waists. When faced with Ji Xia's scolding, they were just arrogant and did not take Ji Xia's words seriously at all.

"Ji Xia, I have a mouth on your face, you can say whatever you want. Anyway, these are the five thousand mining slaves. We have delivered them all to you. From now on, there will be other things like the mining of the ore veins in the Cold River Valley." , it’s all your business and has nothing to do with us!”

'Haha' laughed a few times, the two men whistled, and a strong wind blew from high in the sky. Several iron-clawed vultures with wingspans of several feet fell down, and the two of them jumped on the backs of the iron-clawed vultures. , these ferocious birds rose into the sky, circled and then flew towards the south towards the Golden Crow Ridge.

Ji Xia was so angry that she raised her right hand high, but made no move.

In the past, if someone dared to be perfunctory about the tribe's tasks, he would have slapped him in the face after scolding him. But now, as these two guys said, he is no longer the warrior leader of the Fire Crow Tribe. How can he have the right to scold them

There was a sudden weight on Ji Hao's shoulder, and Crow Lord flew down from the air and stepped on Ji Hao's shoulder.

Ji Hao walked behind Ji Xia, looked at the rapidly shrinking vultures in the sky and said in a cold voice: "Abba, they are Ji Shu's tribe? Why don't we kill them?"

The Crow screamed, and a few sparks shot out from the corner of his mouth.

The green shadow sprang out from nowhere like a ghost, waving a long arrow and shouting excitedly: "Hao is right, take them down. From this distance, I can make them fall half to death with just one arrow." !”

Ji Xia put down her hand, slapped Ji Hao on the head, and smiled kindly: "Don't come up with crooked ideas. They didn't do well. It's their fault. We can't violate the clan rules and actively kill people." clansman.”

Ji Hao looked at Ji Xia's skinny face, and recalled the scenes he recalled when he fainted. Ji Xia used his chest to block the fatal attack for himself, and the hot blood splashed on him. That feeling really made him Unforgettable.

"Of course I won't take the initiative to provoke them." Ji Hao smiled, turned around and looked at the valley carefully.

The stars are like water, the surrounding fields are bright, and the vision is still clear under the moonlight. Ji Hao's location is exactly in the middle of the valley. This cold stream valley is more than ten miles long from east to west, and the widest part is two or three miles long. A mountain stream with a width of more than ten feet, a very deep and rapid flow, has been around since ancient times. There is a stream flowing in the middle, and you can see large pieces of natural gold and jade beside the stream.

The stream was extremely cold, and even though he was more than a mile away, Ji Hao still felt the cold air hitting his face. The extremely cold stream washed away the gold nuggets and jade nuggets on both sides, making a crisp 'swishing' sound. Under the starlight, these gold nuggets and jade nuggets that have been washed extremely roundly shine with a moving luster.

"It is indeed an astonishingly large vein." Ji Hao sighed sincerely.

"It's a very large vein. After arriving here, your mother led people to survey it. The veins here are very shallow and easy to dig. Hundreds of thousands of fine gold and tens of thousands of beautiful jade can be mined every year." Ji Xia frowned and said, "But those bastards from Baiquan Mountain have nothing but five thousand mining slaves."

'Ding-ding', 'dang-dang', various knocking sounds echoed in the valley.

Thousands of mining slaves chanted softly, and with their efforts, a row of dozens of stilt wooden houses had been built on the other side of the stream.

On the cliff above their heads, dozens of warriors from the Fire Crow Tribe were hard at work digging into the cliff and building a sentry tower to look out into the distance. Several long mountain vines hang down from the top of the cliff, constantly pulling thick logs up the cliff.

At the exits at both ends of the valley, a large group of soldiers were supervising a group of mining slaves who were building protective walls. The foundation was laid with thick logs on the ground. As long as the two rows of logs were filled with soil and rocks, a protective wall strong enough to withstand the impact of ferocious beasts could be built.

Cold Brook Valley is located in the northernmost protrusion of the Fire Crow Territory. It is surrounded by wild mountains, ferocious birds and beasts emerge in an endless stream, and there are various other unpredictable risks. If a protective wall is not built to encircle Cold Brook Valley, these mining slaves will definitely There will be a lot of casualties.

The sound of soft footsteps came, and Qing Fu walked over quickly with a few soldiers.

Seeing Ji Hao, Qing Fu smiled happily, touched his head affectionately, and then handed a fist-sized red jade block to Ji Xia: "Xia, the veins here are not just ordinary gold nuggets and jade nuggets. , I had people dig deep into the ground and found this in the veins."

Ji Hao looked at the red jade block curiously. The red jade block exuded an intense heat. There was faint red liquid flowing in the translucent jade. Under the colorful starlight, the jade block reflected the blurred firelight unwillingly. It's really dazzling.

"Huh? Is it fire chalcedony? It is a good treasure for our great witches with fire attribute bloodline to quickly increase their witchcraft power. It is also a good material for forging witchcraft and witchcraft treasures." Ji Xia's eyes widened in surprise: "If you use it to pay tribute , a piece of fire chalcedony is comparable to thousands of fine gold and hundreds of beautiful jade."

Qingfu said in a deep voice: "When you discover the fire chalcedony, you must quickly inform the witch priests in the clan. More soldiers need to be mobilized to garrison here. In addition, after dawn, Xia, you have to take Ying Went hunting, thousands of mining slaves, so many warriors, but they didn’t bring any food.”

Ji Xia, Qing Fu and several higher-status warriors got together and began to plan the management of Lengxi Valley.

Ji Hao took the fire chalcedony from Ji Xia's hand and carefully penetrated it with powerful spiritual power. His eyes suddenly lit up, and terrible heat rolled over him. Ji Hao's whole body seemed to be soaked in magma, which burned him so much that he almost screamed.

Ji Hao was surprised and happy, what kind of fire chalcedony is this? This is clearly the peerless treasure 'Fire Element Crystal'! In his previous life, Ji Hao once saw a piece of fire element crystal the size of his thumb. The volume was less than one percent of the one in his hand, and the quality was several times worse than the one in his hand. But just for such a small piece of fire element crystal, it was enough. Hundreds of strong men died in the battle!

This is really a good treasure. This Cold Creek Valley is a huge treasure.

No matter who it is, as long as they can take good care of Cold Brook Valley and donate fine gold, jade and fire chalcedony to the tribe according to quality and quantity, this is a huge achievement. Would Ji Shu have such a good heart and give such a share of credit to Ji Xia in vain
