After the celebration, the newborn kingdom regained its tranquility as the sun set.

Late night is no-no.

Evil spirits are especially fond of acting late at night.

Finding a safe place to stay before the sun sets is the basic rule of survival in this wild land.

The small city seemed to be asleep, with only the lights flickering.

It was the lights of the textile mills, the royal palace, and a few important workshops.

It's not that there is a shortage of oil, and ordinary subjects are not qualified to use it.

Rather, it is because the lights in the middle of the night are full of fatal temptation, which may attract unknown dangers from the sky, these are the lessons that Yang Xu exchanged for his blood and life.

Palace.

It is said to be a royal palace, but it is actually a large mansion with a courtyard.

The house is very large, covering an area of more than 10,000 square meters, in the style of Chinese gardens.

The front yard handles official business, and the back yard serves as a residence, with dozens of wings on the left and right sides of the house, where servants and guards live.

The royal palace is also a wooden house.

But compared to ordinary wooden houses, it is much more delicate, and you can see exquisite carvings on the doors and windows, and they are sweet flowers like trumpets.

Sweet flowers, wild specialties, palm-sized, pink, shaped like a trumpet, chewed sweet, can replenish energy, so it is loved by people.

Sweet flowers are carved on the doors and windows, implying that the future will be sweet and healthy, and it will get better and better.

The carvings are very detailed and lifelike.

The courtyard wall is also a wooden wall, but the surface of the wood has been polished, and there is no burr in sight, and it is smooth as a mirror. There are even beautiful empty windows on the wooden walls that look out onto the street beyond the walls.

At the moment, the council chamber.

The council hall is a spacious, empty room without too many decorations.

Two beauties from the Qingqiu Fox Clan stood delicately by the door of the council hall, waiting to listen to Yang Xu's instructions at any time. They are dressed in a uniform moon-white high-slit slim short-sleeved cheongsam, and their slender jade legs seem to be carved from jade, which seems to reflect a layer of fluorescence under the soft oil lamp, which makes people dizzy.

The two of them are slim, like models.

The maids of the palace can wear cheongsam, thanks to the ingenious beauties of the fox clan.

Yang Xu only needs to tell them what they think, as well as the general situation of the clothes, and they can make clothes that meet Yang Xu's wishes.

In addition to cheongsam, there are also all kinds of Hanfu, and even Western Regions style, Roman style.

Qin and Han style.

Sui Tang style.

However, in the end, Yang Xu chose the cheongsam, not because the modern improved version of the cheongsam is the most colorful, but because this thing uses the least materials!

In this wild land, cloth is really a scarce resource, although there is a textile factory in Xuguo, but limited by Yang Xu's ignorance of the textile problem, the output is really not high. Whether it is the Qin and Han styles, or the Sui and Tang Han styles, the materials used cannot be said to be much, but it can only be said that one can top several cheongsams. Relatively speaking, women's cheongsam is the most cost-effective.

Of course, it's also pleasing to the eye.

The only decoration in the hall is the square table in the center.

It is two meters long and one and a half meters wide, and is made up of several tables spliced together.

On the desktop, there is a huge sand table!

The sand table is very detailed, and in addition to the terrain markers such as mountains and rivers, towns and fortresses, there are even models of various creatures that indicate what species live in this area.

This sand table is the result of Yang Xu's several years.

With the Daxu Kingdom as the center, the map of more than 100 miles around is also the limit that Yang Xu is currently exploring!

Yang Xu stood tall in front of the sand table, staring at the exquisite sand table with a solemn expression.

The location of the Kingdom of Daxu is very clever, located in a fertile valley.

A wide, fast-flowing river comes from the east, diverts through the mountains to form a meandering course of 100 miles to the north, and then turns west into the sea.

To the south are majestic mountain ranges, running east-west, stretching from the far east to the western coastline, like an indestructible huge shield, blocking most of the dangers from the south for the Daxu Kingdom.

The West is a magnificent sea.

The valley where the Daxu Kingdom is located is this irregular quadrangle surrounded by mountains, rivers, and the sea, like a spoken word.

The core of the kingdom, the royal city, is located in a mountain stream on the edge of the mountain range, in the lower right corner of the mouth.

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, they are all cliffs, extremely steep, and there are clouds and mist above them all year round, like a sinkhole.

The exit is located in the north, a large narrow canyon that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"King."

An old voice rang out from outside the door.

Yang Xu looked up, and an old fox clan with white hair and white hair staggered in.

His cheeks were fleshless, his face was cunning and vicious, and his eyes were narrowed into slits, as if he were pretending to sleep. The ribs are visible in the emaciated body, like a thin bamboo pole.

The old fox was dressed in a white hooded robe, like a Central Asian style, but the sacred and solemn robe on his body did not have the solemn feeling it should have, but a kind of funny and ridiculous crown.

He wore clogs on his feet, but he landed silently, light like a ghost.

Seeing the visitor, Yang Xu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his face showed doubt.

This old fox clan with white hair is called Qingqiu Che, who seems to be inconspicuous, but he is the high priest of Xuguo.

He has an ability that ordinary Qingqiu fox clan does not have—Foresight!

That's right, as the name suggests, he can see the future.

Although it is impossible to predict the exact event, it is possible to predict the bad luck.

If it weren't for Qingqiu Che's powerful prediction ability, Yang Xu might have died on the plain on the other side of the river a few years ago. It was precisely because of Qingqiu Che's prediction that the other side of the river was the safest place that Yang Xu would take the tribe to migrate here.

However, because of the need to consume a strong spirit spirit in the foresight, Qingqiu Che's body has not been very good.

He usually stayed in the courtyard near the palace to recuperate, and rarely went out to walk around.

Although the courtyard of Aoqiu Che is not far from the palace, it is the first time that I have come late at night.

Yang Xu was concerned about Qingqiu Che's body, and worried about the reason for his arrival, and said with concern: "Why are you here?" ”

"But what happened?"

Qingqiu Che staggered to the sand table, and looked at the sand table with a pair of eyes that could barely be seen.

For a moment, he stretched out his right hand, which was dry like a chicken's claw, pointed in the direction of the northwest of Xuguo, and said cautiously: "The minister sees that there are changes in the northwest, and it is unpredictable. ”

Yang Xu stared in the direction that Qingqiu Che was pointing, thoughtful.

The northwest of Xuguo is a dense primeval forest, with a vast area of dozens of miles, which is extremely dangerous.

But the most menacing thing is the giant beast that lives deep in the forest.

Its shape, lion body, scale armor, eagle claws, back with bat wings, body length of ten meters. Its scales resemble red shields, indestructible. The claws resemble the talons of an eagle and are so powerful that they can easily crush rocks.

Its speed was so fast that it swooped down from the Nine Heavens, as if the fall of a meteorite was unstoppable, and it was extremely fierce.

This giant beast was named the Sphinoid Bat Wing Beast by Yang Xu.

In order to deal with the sphinoid batwing beast, Yang Xu had paid a huge price, but he only injured it, and never completely eliminated it. However, after that battle, the sphinoid batwing beast also knew that Axu was not easy to mess with, and never came to hunt in this direction again.

The Sphinx Batwing Beast is one of the biggest threats to Yang Xu's unification of the valley.

Yang Xu stared at the sand table and said thoughtfully, "The birth date of the sphinoid batwing beast should be in the near future. ”

"Could it be that the threat is from the Sphinx?"

Qingqiu Che shook his head and said, "That's not the case, the minister sees that the unknown danger comes from the sea. ”

Yang Xu was stunned.

From the sea!?

His gaze crossed the territory of the sphinoid batwing beast and came to the vast expanse of the Western Sea.

Across the sea, less than twenty miles away, there is a large island full of poisonous snakes of all kinds.

Therefore, the island was named Snake Island by Yang Xu.

No matter how far away the area is, even for Yang Xu, it is an unknown territory.

He stared at the sand table and was silent.

The threat comes from the Western Sea.

However, although there are many poisonous snakes on Snake Island, although they are venomous, they never cross the sea, and they are unlikely to become a threat.

If it's not Snake Island, is it an uncharted sea?

Yang Xu frowned, quite worried.

The unknown threat that Asahi faced when it was first established is not good news.

-------------------------------------

The northwest sea of the Great Axu Kingdom.

The sun rises in the east, and the warm morning sun is projected onto the sea, broken by the mischievous waves one by one, turning into countless golden scale armor.

Lifeboats cut through the fog and floated on the calm sea, drifting with the current.

It was none other than the passengers and crew of the Seidl.
