Boom~!

There was a big bell hanging under the ebony tree at the mouth of the Jiazi settlement, and at this moment, a totem warrior from the Cracked Stone Realm rang the big bell, and it didn't take long for a chaotic sound to sound in the settlement.

Young men and women walked out of the stone hut and gathered at the entrance of the settlement, and there were about 200 people, looking at the middle-aged man who was ringing the bell.

Seeing that almost all the people in the settlement had arrived, Shewen cleared his throat and shouted: "There is an order from above, our Jiazi settlement will dispatch twenty young men to go to the depths of the ancient land to drive away miasma and routinely set fires, whose turn is the old rule this time." ”

It didn't take long for twenty young men to be selected in the settlement, in fact, there was nothing to choose, they were all slaves of Great Xia, even if they didn't go this time, they would go next time, and those who didn't want to go were buried in the fertile fields outside the settlement.

Slaves are not qualified to disobey the orders of the master, they are slaves of the tribe all their lives, and the upper part has the right to kill and plunder them.

"Let's all go back and prepare, we have to rush to Lingluo Mountain to gather!"

Shewen shouted at the top of his voice, he was one of the hundreds of settlement chiefs in this ancient land.

The settlement is a slave gathering place divided by the Great Xia Department, each settlement has a different number of slaves, led by a settlement chief, who is responsible for reclaiming the wilderness next to the settlement, cultivating plants and trees on the reclaimed land, and keeping the blast furnace fire intact to prevent the miasma from spreading again.

As the head of the settlement, although he is also a slave of the Great Xia Department, he is also a small slave head, of course, it is not without risk, where there are slaves in the settlement, the entire settlement and the settlement chief will be killed in a row, so he is also afraid of the slave running, once a fugitive slave appears, the first one to burp will be him.

At present, there are dozens of heads piled up on the hillside outside the Jiazi settlement, which are slaves from other settlements who want to escape, but unfortunately they can't escape, they are captured, and all of them are beheaded and passed on to the settlements.

As for arson, it was a countermeasure made by the Great Xia Department in order to prevent the miasma from spreading deep in the western ancient land.

Every half a month, a group of slaves will be summoned to the miasma junction area to set fire, and each time instead of all the settlements are gathered, all the settlements will come in turn, go to the designated place, and light a bonfire to burn the miasma.

Almost every settlement has a turn every three months, and the number of young and strong people is different each time according to the number of people in the settlement.

Half a day later, Shewen took the twenty young men in the Jiazi settlement and headed towards the west.

Thundered!

Just out of the settlement only two miles away, the earth roared, there were beasts roaring and neighing, only to see an iron horse rolling in the west, but more than ten horses were huge, like a red torrent.

"Great Xia Iron Rider!"

"Red Armor!"

One of the young men in the slaves shouted, and then everyone reacted, looked at the direction in which the iron horse was coming, retreated a few feet to the place behind, and prostrate on the ground.

More than a dozen cavalrymen wore red armor, together with the green wind horses under the seat were all wearing armor, leaving only two huge horse eyes, the cavalry was covered with a shear, carrying a large purple bow on the shoulder, with a quiver, a pocket bag, a waist knife, a dagger, and a spear in his hand.

The red-armored cavalry, the elite of the totem warriors of the Great Xia Department, each of them has been stained with the blood of at least three people of the same rank, even in the Great Xia Guard, there are not many of them.

More than a dozen cavalrymen protected a woman on the back of a beast in the middle, and hurried to the east, not paying attention to the slaves crawling on the ground.

When the Red Armor Knight was gone, the snake who was prostrate on the ground got up.

"Get up, we still have to hurry, if we can't catch up with the mountain within the specified time, no one will survive. ”

Guarded in the center by the red armor cavalry is the deacon of the Baicao Temple, Lingyu, who is the spirit planter of the tribe, and is also a wizard, but the witchcraft she practiced is not good at fighting, but when she was a witch, she developed towards the cultivation of spirit plants, and now she takes care of the high-level treasures in the clan.

At this time, the aura on Lingyu's body was a little vague, and she was injured by a half-pure-blooded strange insect spirit worm in the White Bone Mountain, this kind of insect is very sensitive to spiritual objects, and generally lurks around spiritual objects.

This time, Baigu Mountain found a three-striped Jiao blood ginseng, although it was only a hundred-year elixir, but it had grown a spirit seed, and the clan asked her to come and transplant this elixir in person.

In fact, the three-striped Jiao blood ginseng is the third elixir discovered in the past six months or so, even in the raging flames, it has not been harmed, which is not amazing.

Of course, in the burning fire, I don't know how many herbs turned into ashes, which is enough to see that this ancient wild land is really a treasure land.

Although she was injured by the spirit seeker, she also took it as a spirit animal, and the cavalry escorted around her was a guardian sent by the clan.

Even if Great Xia has reclaimed an area, there are still many fierce beasts that have come out of the depths of the forest, plus the slaves scattered around, some of them are not so stable, and the necessary protection is still indispensable.

......

Summer Garden.

"Patriarch, at present, there are sixty miles left in Lingzhou from east to west, and more than fifty miles from north to south, and the miasma has been stopped in the clan, and the next step of expansion can be carried out. ”

Ling Jue spoke up and said back to Xia Tuo, since the beginning he has been stationed in the Wild Ancient Land with a group of clan soldiers, and now he is still sitting in the west, guarding the slaves scattered in Lingzhou.

The so-called Lingzhou is an area carved out in the wild ancient land, and it was called Lingzhou by Xia Tuo.

After more than half a year, the reclaimed area did not expand, but shrunk a circle, but it proved the possibility of opening up a living place in the wild ancient land.

Now the miasma in Lingzhou has almost been blocked, and the clan ignites a fire at the miasma border every half a month, burning the miasma, and stabilizing the spread of the miasma to the open up area.

Xia Tuo was sitting under the stone pavilion, looking at the animal skin paper scrolls from the Baicao Hall and the Si Nong Hall in his hands, which were jointly presented by the two elders of Shao and Shao Ming.

After Lingzhou was opened up, the clansmen of the Baicao Hall and the Sinong Hall all set foot on that land to investigate, and came to the conclusion that the land of Lingzhou was fertile and could cultivate medicinal herbs and spiritual rice on a large scale.

Now that the Si Nong Hall is ready to go to Lingzhou to open up the spiritual field, the Baicao Hall is also ready to choose the place where the mountain seat is cultivated and the herbs are cultivated.

However, the matter of the two elders in the book is not this, but to ask the clan not to burn the barren forest anymore, after the two palace clansmen investigated the land of Lingzhou, they found that the previous fire not only burned away the miasma, but also burned a large number of herbs and spiritual objects.

Originally, the clan reclaimed Lingzhou in order to serve as a place for the tribe's resources, how could the elixir be burned, wouldn't this be a tyrannical thing.

It is conceivable that once Lingzhou is developed, it will be an inexhaustible treasure trove for the tribe, which is enough to support the development of the tribe.

The gap between Great Xia and other tribes in the border wilderness lies in the accumulation of years, and the precipitation of time cannot be erased, but if the resources are sufficient, it can greatly shorten the time for development.

"Commander Ling, Liang Hongtong will take over from you in Lingzhou next, and you will return to the tribe with your clan soldiers to repair well. ”

"The subordinates receive the order. ”

Ling Jue bowed down, it is indeed not an easy job to garrison in Lingzhou, there are many poisonous insects, especially in the place near the border of the deep barren forest, it will still be attacked by miasma, and wild beasts often run out, and the two thousand clan soldiers under his command have been stationed in Lingzhou from the beginning, and now they finally have time to rest.

Putting down the grievances from the two elders, Xia Tuo rubbed his head, how many herbs did he have less of this fire, and how many spirit crystals could he exchange.

It seems that large-scale burning of barren forests is impossible, and it can only be encroached on step by step, based on the existing area, and gradually extending to the depths of the wild ancient land, which will be a very long process.

"Someone. ”

Tingyun heard Xia Tuo's command and walked towards Xia Tuo.

"How many of the clan elders are in the tribe?"

Hearing this, Tingyun didn't have the slightest stuck, and continued: "Elder Hong of the Battle Master Hall is cultivating in the Secret Realm of the Fire Mansion Volcano, Elder Cangfu of the Imperial Beast Hall is in retreat in the Medicine Spirit Mountain, and the Fat Elder of the Barter Hall and Elder Deer of the Shadow Hall have gone out and have not returned. ”

Cangfu retreat refining purple blood fruit was exchanged by the fat brother for 16,000 spirit crystals from the barter conference in Split Earth City three months ago, this time it was a real spirit crystal, not a little fake.

The Purple Blood Fruit came from a powerhouse in the Divine Hidden Realm who had opened up more than forty divine apertures, but he didn't know if Cangfu had enough opportunities to advance to the Divine Hidden Realm.

Generally speaking, refining the purple blood fruit is equivalent to inheriting the Tao of others, but for many people who originally had insufficient opportunities for promotion, inheriting the Tao of others is also the Tao.

In addition to Cangfu in the clan, Elder Hong, Elder Yang, and several other town guards are all at the peak of the Heavenly Vein, but the talents of the two elders Hong and Yang are better than Cangfu.

Therefore, before he was sure that there was really no hope, Xia Tuo still let them go to the opportunity to improve to the Divine Tibetan Realm by themselves.

The purple blood fruit is not so easy to obtain, the appearance of each purple blood fruit represents the fall of a Divine Hidden Realm martial artist, in addition to the outbreak of large-scale tribal wars in the northwest land, it can be as short as one or two years or as long as several years, and there will be a fall of the Divine Hidden Realm.

The most important thing is that the fallen Divine Treasure Realm martial artists, few of them have turned their cultivation efforts into purple blood fruits.

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Xia Tuo commanded in the direction of Xia Ge: "Order, the ministers and elders and the deacons will discuss the matter. ”

Soon, the elders of the clan walked towards the clan hall one after another, and Xia Tuo also walked towards the clan hall.

In the clan hall, there were no less than dozens of ministers and deacons, the elders sat in front, and the deacons of each ministry sat behind their respective elders, among which the inner hall was the most numerous, and Elder Feng was followed by ten deacons.

"Meet the Patriarch. ”

Seeing Xia Tuo walking into the main hall, everyone stood up and bowed.

"Sit down, let's talk about the development of the Lingzhou region, what suggestions do you have to talk about, and see whose ideas are useful." ”

"Patriarch ......"

"Patriarch ......"

......

In the clan hall, the elders and deacons gathered together, and Xia someone adhered to the fine tradition of holding small meetings for big things and small meetings for small things, and listened to the free words of the elders and deacons in the clan hall.

In this way, the clan council lasted from the afternoon until nightfall, and then in the dead of night, the unique clan hall in the whole tribe was lit up, and the voices of people were endless, and the elders and deacons were open to say

......

Three days later, the edict spread throughout the tribe, and Xia Tuo dictated the cadres.

The tribe newly established the Lingzhou town to guard the mansion, and the original Xichuan domain town guard wolf was the town guard.

Set up a pioneer guard, and draw strong troops from several major towns in the Wangu Mountain Range to garrison Lingzhou, guard the stability of the reclaimed area, prevent the impact of fierce beasts, and suppress slave riots.

The area that has completed the development does not implement the tribal system for the time being, and takes the settlement as the benchmark, and the slaves or three or five li are formed into a settlement, and several settlements are divided into a pavilion, and the settlement is set up as a settlement chief, and the pavilion is set up as a pavilion chief, and the older warriors who are in the clan headquarters and each town guarding the domain are the pavilion chiefs and monitor the slave settlements.

A day later, the Xichuan Domain Wolf Town Guard received an edict, and the headquarters was reorganized into the Lingzhou Town Guard Mansion.

After combing the next day, the wolf town guard led 5,000 clan soldiers under his command to take over Xishan City, but the clan Xia Wei did not transfer back, but will assist the new pioneer guard to completely take charge of Lingzhou before all the troops withdraw.

With Xia Tuo's edict, millions of troops in the entire Wangu Mountain Range were mobilized.

The people of the Wangu Mountain Range were originally the source of the tribes he imagined the Zhongxia tribe, but because they were mixed and uneven, they did not dare to collect the tribes on a large scale in the past.

Nowadays, the ancient tribe and the Xia tribe have the highest status, and the people of each town guarding the domain are secondary, and the lowest level is the slave, and the slave does not have the slightest status and choice.

There are more than 100,000 people in the Xia tribe's headquarters, and there are not many of these people left except for the soldiers, the warriors of the various ministries and halls, and the old and young women and children.

After twenty or thirty years of development, the people in the mountains have a sense of belonging to Great Xia, and now the strength of the tribe is not what it used to be, and they are not afraid that some people have different intentions.

After twenty or thirty years of development, most of the people in the prime of life who did not visualize the totem have begun to enter the downhill road of blood and qi, or have already entered the downhill road, and the first group of unruly mountain people are not gaining momentum.

The dolls of that year have all grown up, these people have grown up under the rule of Great Xia, and Great Xia has given them hope for progress, and the people in the mountains have completed part of the reproduction and replacement of the old and the new under the passage of time.

This time, the older people of each town were called to open up the wasteland and accept their young descendants into the Great Xia School Palace, a two-pronged approach.

Of course, it's just the beginning, the Lingzhou region is not large, and it is in the wasteland period, so it needs to be done step by step, as the patriarch Xia Tuo, he only needs to control the general direction, and there will be elders and deacons to be responsible below.

......

On the first line of miasma on the west side of Lingzhou, the wolf took the two commanders under his command, looked at the colored miasma in the distance, spit out a breath of turbidity, and frowned.

After being transferred to Lingzhou by Xia Tuo's edict, he first traveled all over Lingzhou, investigated the situation on the four sides of Lingzhou, and finally came to the forefront of the junction of the ancient miasma.

The edict given to him by the patriarch is very clear, not only to defend Lingzhou, but also to expand outward, his enemies are miasma, poisonous insects, and fierce beasts lurking in the depths.
