Near the Ten Thousand Demon Caves, for more than a thousand miles, there is no grass and there is no desert.

Bloodthirsty monsters can be found everywhere here, and all kinds of natural death traps are everywhere, and everyone who tries to cross this area must be mentally prepared for death, and this place has rarely been visited since ancient times.

"Will this kind of city appear? Your Majesty is not making fun of Diao Chan!"

Diao Chan followed Qin Ge for most of the day, and finally couldn't help but complain.

Early this morning, His Majesty Qin II teleported to the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, saying that not far from the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, there was a mysterious secret city, which would be helpful to Great Qin's external development in the future, so he brought Diao Chan out to look for it together.

Diao Chan has been in charge of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave for more than two months.

I've never heard of any secret places nearby!

How is it possible? Is there such a good place, which round will be discovered by Qin II? I'm afraid it has already been discovered by the demons who have lived in the Ten Thousand Demon Caves for hundreds of years!

Diao Chan is the director of the Central Intelligence Agency who manages the Ten Thousand Demon Caves and Daqin, Hexi is not yet completely stable, the CIA needs to monitor the major tribes, complete the aftermath of maintaining stability, and also need to deploy a lot of energy to complete the construction of the Central Plains World Intelligence Network, the secret realm is ethereal and unattainable, if you can't find it, it will be a waste of time and energy.

"Don't worry, don't worry!"

Qin Ge also felt a little puzzled in his heart.

How could the Guardian Spirit reward such a strange prize this time?

He pulled out a small compass that resembled a pocket watch, which had several hands on it, always pointing in one direction ahead. Judging by the pointers, the target should be nearby.

Qin Ge looked back at the big beauty with a resentful face and joked.

"Diao Chan, you are so reluctant to get along with me? Okay, next time I have something fun, or something interesting, I won't share it with you, Shangguan Da Mei and the Banana Fairy will definitely be interested." ”

"Your Majesty, how can you be like this, I didn't say that I didn't want to get along with you. Diao Chan's eyes panicked, she wanted to go back to work to create value, isn't this also to help His Majesty, because she was worried that His Majesty would misunderstand, she hurriedly explained, "Actually, Diao Chan likes to be with His Majesty very much, and I can't wait to stay together every day......"

Diao Chan found the cunning in His Majesty's eyes halfway through speaking.

She knew that she was being tricked again, and her beautiful cheeks were flushed, and she felt a little angry, embarrassed, and nervous.

"I understand!" Qin Ge quickly put away his joking attitude, "Let's go ahead and take a look." ”

Diao Chan bumped into the deer in his heart, glanced at His Majesty's figure, and some of them gained and lost.

The two walked on the sand dunes, the yellow sand in front of them, a few bushes of withered yellow weeds and shrubs, randomly distributed irregularly, dozens of miles of sand dunes criss-crossed, very ancient and desolate, and there was no sign of human or biological activity in the field of vision.

The wind blew through the desert, and strange sounds echoed in the air, as if from a distant call.

"This desert is the junction of Hexi and the Western Regions, and it is also the most desolate and barren place in Hexi. ”

The Guardian gave two things, a small compass to indicate the direction and a small horn for unknown purposes.

After Qin Ge determined through the small compass that it was undoubtedly here, he immediately took out the horn and blew it, the material of this horn seemed to be very mediocre, as if it was made of the most ordinary sheep's horn, but it could make a melodious and vigorous sound.

"Woo-woo!"

Between the sand dunes ahead, there seems to be a corresponding.

There is a light straight into the sky, suddenly a hurricane blows, the quicksand in the middle of the desert flows like flowing water, their flow traces are very strange, the general quicksand flows from high to low, but these sands flow from low to high, and finally blow out a huge basin valley in the middle of the desert.

The place was always shrouded in light and wind and sand, and it was not easy to see.

The terrifying wind and sand, which lasted for half an hour, finally subsided gradually.

The topography of the desert has been altered, and in the middle of countless sand dunes, a huge oasis has appeared!

The oasis surrounds a huge spring lake, thousands of meters long from north to south, about 200 meters wide from east to west, the spring water is deep in the east and shallow in the west, curved like a crescent moon, exuding vigorous vitality.

Diao Chan covered his mouth and exclaimed: "There is really a city!"

The crescent moon oasis, the Qionglou Yuyu, the majestic palace, the ancient buildings are dense, the small city is full of exotic style, is quietly located in this place, from the city and scale, there is no big problem in accommodating hundreds of thousands of people.

A desert wonder.

An incredible desert city.

But how could there be such a spiritual spring and such a large oasis in the middle of the desert? Why didn't the wind and sand swallow it up in this place!

Diao Chan vaguely felt that it was not an ordinary town, because the town was surrounded by powerful energy, so this city located in the middle of the sand dunes, it was very likely to be a semi-secret realm like Yin Yang Mountain.

Qin Ge was mentally prepared.

After all, this place is one of the rewards for completing quests.

Qin Ge has seen all kinds of rewards, and it is the first time he has encountered a reward city.

Qin Ge didn't know how this place came about, maybe it existed itself, or maybe it was transferred by the guardian spirit, but Qin Ge found a problem, the more this place looked, the more it looked like the crescent moon spring, one of the eight views of Dunhuang, especially the shape of the spring water, which happened to be crescent-shaped, too iconic!

Of course, compared to the earth, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a lake!

Qin Ge and Diao Chan were about to approach the city, but before they could reach the city, Diao Chan seemed to be keenly aware of something, and immediately whispered to Qin Ge: "Your Majesty, be careful, something has come out!"

"Is it a demon?"

"No, not exactly. ”

Before Diao Chan finished speaking, the wind and sand in the desert oasis blew out.

Countless yellow sand swept down one after another, and it quickly gathered into several figures in mid-air.

These figures are obviously not human, and they can even be said to be not normal creatures, they have tall and mighty bodies, but the lower half of their bodies are composed of yellow sand whirlwinds, and the weapons they hold in their hands are all made of sand, which looks very dangerous, and they must be the guards of this secret realm.

The six yellow sand monsters bowed to Qin Ge and saluted: "I am a desert elf, specially to welcome the master!"

The desert elves are not ordinary spirit monsters, they are a kind of immortal guards belonging to the type of earth immortals, whether it is in all aspects of ability or supernatural powers, they are not comparable to ordinary demon spirits, they often have some immortal secret skills, and they are definitely not to be underestimated.

The desert elves are asleep in the desert city, awakened by the sound of the horn to awaken the secret realm.

Whoever can wake up this place is the master here, and Qin Ge will get this city as a matter of course.

The desert elves are an integral part of the secret realm, mainly responsible for maintaining the stability of the secret realm, since Qin Ge has become the master of this city, so he will naturally become their master, the desert elves have no way to leave the desert, but as long as they are here, it will make this small city more impregnable.

The two walked through the space film and walked into it.

Oases, crescent springs, and desert cities are all bigger than you think.

The crescent moon spring is the best spiritual spring, which can quickly relieve fatigue and has a very good effect.

Once the Hexi Corridor trade route is opened, this place will become the main road connecting the east and west, and this spring water does not know how much value it can create, after Qin Ge walked into the city, he found that there were many desert spirits in the city.

Desert elves can do anything, such as patrolling the streets, building mountains, or entertaining guests...... Qin Ge was even more dumbfounded that there were a large number of shops in the city, and these shops were all taken care of by the desert elves, and they were just like ordinary merchants, waiting for the arrival of guests here.

In other words.

It is a fully functional city.

Qin Ge does not need to be modified and planned, and can be put into use directly.

This is faster than repairing a year, and Qincheng, which has not yet been completed, I don't know how many times more convenient.

The desert elves belong to the earth fairies, which can protect travelers from threats in the desert, and can also guide all travelers who pass through the desert into the city, and the city itself is completely run by the desert elves, and the desert elves are 100% loyal to Qin Ge, which means that this is a city that does not need to be bothered at all.

The city has a huge advantage.

The Desert Elves run the city neutrally.

They will instill a sense of trust among merchants in both the East and the West.

The Secret Realm itself is stable and safe enough to be a worry-free place, and the city is large enough to be a warehouse, an intermediary market, and a distribution center for merchants from the East and the West.

"There is safety here and spiritual water to relieve fatigue, and business travelers will definitely flock to it in the future, what does Your Majesty think this city should be called?"

"Since it is a city managed by desert elves in the vast desert, I think it will be called Sand City!"

Shacheng is a junction, with the Hexi Corridor of China to the back and the rich Western Regions world to the front.

In this era, sea power is still a thing that has completely disappeared, and the status of land power is very strong, so why is the United States so powerful in the 21 st century? Because the United States represents the largest sea power in the world, the United States has the ability to dominate the world.

Now is the era of land power, and whoever can master land power can take it all.

The Great Qin Empire now has a channel to the Western world, which means that the competition in the land power strategy has been in the leading position, and the emergence of Shacheng will prosper the trade route hub, which can effectively strengthen the land power of the Great Qin Empire in Asia and Europe.

Singapore is just a small city-state, and because it has choked the Strait of Malacca and became the darling of the era of sea power, it has gained great wealth and influence. If it is said that Singapore is rising to the background of sea power, Shacheng will rise in the background of land power, and he will become the Singapore of this era.

Qin Ge can get such a city, which will undoubtedly produce a huge boost to the strategy of opening up the Western Regions.

"A-level main quest 'Exploring the Western Regions' activated!"

"Reward for mission success: 1000 luck!"

“.........”

Presumably, the time has indeed come.

Qin Ge has also received a new main quest released by the Guardian Spirit.

This time it will aim at the vast and complex land of the Western Regions, the situation in the Western Regions is different from the Hexi Corridor, the Western Regions is a melting pot of races and forces, the situation is complex and difficult to clarify, and because it is too far away from the Central Plains, the influence of the Huaxia tribe is minimal, it is difficult to occupy this land, and it is even more difficult to control this land.

However, the mandate is up to one year.

Therefore, Qin Ge's actions did not need to be in a hurry.

He could first send Zhang Qian as a diplomat to establish commercial contacts with the countries and tribes in the Western Regions, so that Chinese goods and culture could be transported to the Western Regions, so that the country and its people would become dependent on China, and pave the way for future invasions in advance.

Qin Ge can also use this time to clean up the situation in the Central Plains first, so as to unite the strength of the Huaxia clan.
