Chapter Eighty-Nine: Darkness Chen Cang

Although Lao Jiu stood on the high ground at an altitude of several thousand meters, when he looked down, he still saw an endless basin. There was not the slightest snow in the plain below, and on both sides of the mountain range, it seemed that there were two different worlds.

If Lao Jiu's estimation is correct, this place must have its uniqueness. The mountain range at the foot of Lao Jiu is like a big dragon. In the basin below, a river runs parallel to the mountains, like a small dragon.

If on the opposite side of the mountain range, there is also a mountain range that is the same as Lao Jiu's foot, then this basin is simply a place to raise dragons. That is, the "adopted son of Ssangyong" in Feng Shui! Gathering dragon veins in one, now it is regarded as seeing the dragon in the wild, when the dragon qi gathers in one place, it is the momentum of the flying dragon in the sky!

What a dragon goes straight to the Nine Heavens! Lao Jiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then couldn't wait to rush down the mountain range. He wanted to find out the situation in this area in the shortest possible time, so that he could make the next deployment.

The following can be said to be an inland basin, looking at the height of Lao Jiu, this basin should be regarded as a large basin, as for the specific terrain, Lao Jiu still needs to investigate the field. Lao Jiu named the mountain range under his feet Tianlong Mountain Range, and the basin was temporarily called Xiaoyao Basin.

When Lao Jiu went down to the Xiaoyao Basin, he began to continue north, and when he advanced for almost 200 kilometers, Lao Jiu finally saw the river running east-west, and as far as the eye could see, the narrowest part of the entire river was hundreds of meters wide, and its water was not known how deep.

At present, Lao Jiu has not had time to explore the waterway, he defined this river as the Xiaoyao River, and then directly crossed the Xiaoyao River and continued north. Although along the way, there are still lofty mountains, but compared to the entire Tianlong Mountain Range, it is directly a small thing.

After walking more than a hundred kilometers to the north, Lao Jiu really found another mountain range, which was no worse than the Tianlong Mountain Range. Lao Jiu named it the Feilong Mountain Range, which means that the birds are not enough, because the altitude of the entire mountain range is definitely more than 7,000 meters.

After determining the two mountain ranges, Lao Jiu began to investigate the east-west direction, he first went to the upper reaches of the Xiaoyao River, the east-west direction of the basin, the span is much larger, Lao Jiu has been walking more than 400 kilometers to the west, before he came to the end.

What Lao Jiu didn't expect was that the westernmost part of the basin turned out to be the intersection of two mountain ranges, like two entangled dragon tails, but here a mountain peak was squeezed out. And the whole mountain peak from the bottom up, forming a clear contrast of the four seasons.

And the source of the entire Xiaoyao River is coming down from the mountain peak, and a lake with a radius of more than ten kilometers has been formed under the peak, and Lao Jiu named it Xiaoyao Lake. After determining that there was no way out to the west, Lao Jiu simply made a raft, and then sat on the raft and went down the river all the way to the east.

So that he can observe the terrain all the way and draw a map along the way. After reaching the lower reaches of the Xiaoyao River, the river began to fork, one flowing into the Tianlong Mountain Range and the other into the Feilong Mountain Range, forming a picture of the dragon absorbing water.

More than ten miles to the east, is the place where the dragon heads of the two mountain ranges gather, forming a ravine with a width of more than three kilometers here, leading directly to the wilderness, which can simply be said to be the only import and export of the Xiaoyao Basin, such a terrain, can't help but remind Lao Jiu of the Shu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms.

For the investigation of the entire Xiaoyao Basin, as well as the drawing of the map, the distribution of the Warcraft, etc., Lao Jiu spent seven or eight days, in the Xiaoyao Basin, most of them are Warcraft below level 40, only a small number of Warcraft at level 50 or 60, and Lao Jiu has not seen Warcraft above level 70.

After several days of exploration, Lao Jiu finally determined the topography of the Xiaoyao Basin, which is 480 kilometers wide from north to south, 960 kilometers long from east to west, and the middle of the basin, which is the widest from north to south, and then will become narrower and narrower in the east-west direction. It goes about three kilometers to the east and dozens of kilometers to the west, and so on.

In the middle of the basin, near the Xiaoyao River, there is a plain. With an area of about several hundred square kilometers, Lao Jiu plans to build Xiaoyao City here, which will also be conducive to future economic development.

After choosing the address, Lao Jiu first cleaned up the idle demonic beasts nearby, and then built a teleportation array. The teleportation array here is the same as the one in the cave, it is built with Jizhou Ding, and this is also done for secrecy.

After the teleportation array was built, Lao Jiu first teleported to the karst cave military base, and from there, all the extra 100,000 soldiers were transferred to the Xiaoyao Basin. Let Ma Jun lead 50,000 elite soldiers directly to the easternmost dragon fortress, which is the name given by Lao Jiu to the fortress.

The remaining warriors, centered on the teleportation array, set up a temporary military station. At present, the Xiaoyao Basin is the most suitable place for military training, so Lao Jiu is going back to Dream City and summoning a soldier of the tenth or twentieth level to come over, so that he can train an elite soldier as quickly as possible.

Since a month ago, Lao Jiu has been preparing for the transfer of the army, so this time the army of Dream City evacuated smoothly and did not cause much movement. According to the replacement of the old and the new, there are nearly 200,000 veterans who have been secretly transferred by Lao Jiu, so on the surface, there is no problem with the deployment of troops in Dream City. It's just that the strength has changed dramatically.

After more than ten days of army transfers, Lao Jiu has transferred Dream City, the real armed force, to the Xiaoyao Basin. The three thousand cavalrymen were all close to level forty warriors, and they all used the best equipment, standard odd soldiers. Knives, spears, bows and arrows, and bright light armor.

Down there are seven thousand elite infantry, each of whom is above level thirty-five, equipped with Mo Dao and Mingguang armor. Among the remaining people, there are 300,000 people, all of whom have reached level 30, but it is a pity that the manufacturing of Mingguang armor is too slow, and it is only produced at present, about 10,000 sets.

Therefore, Lao Jiu has already carried out the expansion of the production chain of Mingguang armor in the karst cave military base, as long as Lao Jiu's military factory forms a scale, I believe that the production of Mingguang armor will soon increase in the future. Lao Jiu's purpose is to build the cave space into a militarized military production base.

There are currently nearly 200,000 warriors in the Xiaoyao Basin, more than 20 levels. Although there is a serious shortage of equipment at present, Lao Jiu is confident that in the coming year, a real elite army will be created. And his ultimate goal is to develop all these 500,000 fighters into elites.

According to Lao Jiu's estimate, after these soldiers have really cleared all the demonic beasts in the Xiaoyao Basin, the average level will definitely be able to go up to level 40, and if Lao Jiu gives each soldier the best equipment, then this army will become the strongest army in the game.

Now the development of Dream City has been limited by players, and Lao Jiu's only task at present is to deliver a lot of manpower and material resources. He now travels back and forth between the three places every day, especially in the Xiaoyao Basin, where he has to transport a large amount of grain, grass and materials, as well as a large number of talents, to the Xiaoyao Basin.

With the climate of the Xiaoyao Basin, it will not be affected in any way at present. Therefore, Lao Jiu began to transfer a large number of NPCs into the Xiaoyao Basin, because the floating population of Dream City is in the tens of millions every day, and NPCs and players, just by looking at their appearance, are almost indistinguishable.

And almost all of the NPCs transferred by Lao Jiu were the first old men to follow him. The conditions he prescribed for these old men can be said to be very generous. The housing in Xiaoyao City can be sold to the outside world, which is what players are currently competing for, so it is easy to sell, and the gold coins obtained, Lao Jiu does not need a penny. As a condition, these people must move their families to the Runaway Basin and then establish new homes.

Because the price of any small courtyard is more than a few hundred gold coins, almost all the old people are willing to move. In this way, Dream City has formed a scene where players replace NPCs, and the replaced NPCs have been transferred to the Xiaoyao Basin by Lao Jiu.

According to the news on the Internet, Lao Jiu already knew that on the periphery of the Chinese Empire, the other three closed doors were being built outside the city, and the progress of the project was slow because of the cold weather, but now because of the heavy snow, the work has been temporarily suspended, which gives Lao Jiu the opportunity to dig the foot of the wall.

Lao Jiu began to hire talented NPCs at a high salary again across the country. The wage he gave was directly double or even triple that of everyone, and his only purpose was to tie people up to the Xiaoyao Basin first, and when the people arrived in the Xiaoyao Basin, then everything was not up to him?

Now what makes Lao Jiu most interested is the mines around Dream City. The known ore veins have been almost mined by Lao Jiu, and he has also organized a new expert team to explore the ore veins in the Xiaoyao Basin. And in the Dream City, what really makes Lao Jiu can't let go is the gold and copper veins. At present, half of the mining has not been completed, which is beyond Lao Jiu's estimate.

After nearly a month, Lao Jiu almost spent the entire Tianwaitian funds, and he let calm start to sell a lot of them, the industries of Dream City and Sleepy Dragon City, especially the housing in Dream City. Because the speed at which Lao Jiu spent money was really terrifying, the construction of the two teleportation arrays alone cost 100 million gold coins.

Then there was a large number of personnel teleportation, so that the purple gold crystal in Lao Jiu's storage space was almost consumed and had to be exchanged for it to the system. All kinds of daily necessities, food and grass, and military salaries are an astronomical amount almost every day. Lao Jiu really can't stand it anymore.

Seeing that the capital chain was about to be broken, Lao Jiu could only grit his teeth and sell a large number of properties. Fortunately, the current profit is also good, and with the daily income of the entire Xiaoyao City, it can barely support it at present.
