The world was shrouded in a haze, as if enveloped by a thick layer of dust.
The desolate land occasionally echoed with the roars of unknown creatures, piercing through the last veil of night from the low shrubs, startling the crows on the withered trees and scaring away the returning venomous insects.
"It's really... terrible weather."
Zhang Yuanyuan patted the phosphorus powder off her body, her face looking extremely ugly.
"I told you we could just bypass it, but you didn't listen."
Su Huai looked at the foul-smelling cliff with a helpless expression.
The steep rock wall was covered with a dark green sludge, like the rampant ivy in summer, but unfortunately, that sludge was not a pleasing green plant, but countless remnants of ghost-faced moths.
Here was the lucky place where Su Huai had dug up his first source crystal in his life.
A realm lord had once been buried here, and apart from the skull, most of the remains still rest at the bottom of the deep valley under the cliff.
Su Huai was carried back by Zhang Yuanyuan all the way.
After a seven-day journey and a night's raid, he finally saw what a man like the wind was.
It was not until he saw the familiar terrain that Zhang Yuanyuan, under Su Huai's guidance, stopped his relentless behavior and stopped on the cliff.
Unfortunately, the original inhabitants of the cliff seemed to have not forgotten the thief who had stolen their fate. At the moment they sensed Su Huai's breath, they swarmed towards him.
Su Huai wanted Zhang Yuanyuan to avoid it, but only heard him sneer.
Ignorant creatures, how dare they attack a realm lord?
A grand moth to the flame, in the moment when Zhang Yuanyuan's pressure was exerted, it turned into a disaster of extinction, the dirty blood and broken viscera together splashed all over the cliff.
Tens of thousands of ghost-faced moths' remains fell to the bottom of the valley, falling into eternal silence.
The stench in the air is the last wail of this ghost-faced moth tribe.
Su Huai shook his head and took the lead to run outside the cliff.
The hard cultivation in the Mist Tower made him blur the concept of time. When he stopped closing the pass, three years had quietly passed.
"I don't know how Cao Yi and the others are doing."
The battle of the Medicine Dynasty, because of the change of the old demon of the Mu family, Mu Ba Ke, caused interest in No. 2, and the entire royal family of the Medicine Dynasty disappeared silently, resulting in the fact that Su Huai's original preparations were not used much.
In these three years, the warning crystal left by Su Huai has not been triggered again.
But it's hard to imagine...
This wilderness is extremely remote, and the distribution of forces is extremely complicated, but almost all regional lords are only at the national border strength, and the realm of the strong despise this barren wilderness.
The city he built on the original site of Rongxia Village has four national border guards, and in this case, how could there be a problem?
But imagination is imagination.
Not far from crossing the Red River, Su Huai suddenly stopped.
A continuous gray city wall suddenly appeared in his sight, almost including all the territories that originally belonged to the Lord of Fear.
There is a row of tall skeleton knights standing on the city wall, all dressed in black armor, with a long knife in the left hand and a light shield in the right hand. They are motionless, just like a well-trained army.
On the tall tower at the city gate, two ninth-order bone dragons are quietly perched, with green flames around them, which are extremely terrifying and full of violent breath.
Zhang Yuanyuan, who was following Su Huai, was stunned.
"No. 9..."
"Is this the city you said?"
Su Huai's tone also had a trace of doubt: "Should... be right?"
"You're going to establish a country..."
"..."
Can I tell you that I'm also very shocked?
Su Huai crossed the wilderness with doubts and entered the city.
The city entrance fee is a gold skull coin, much higher than the entrance fee of most cities, even reaching dozens of times.
But different from other wilderness cities, as long as you pay the city entrance fee once, the entrant can stay as long as they want until they leave the city, and will not be charged again.
After entering the city gate, there is a large area of lush tree spirits.
This is the buffer zone of the city.
Su Huai keenly noticed that there were many natural creatures with a tendency towards the wilderness hidden in the bushes. The other two of the three national border subordinates that Hei Ye brought back from the Mist Tower, apart from the chopping giant spider, are also living in it.
After passing through the buffer zone, a large area of buildings with a tendency towards the fairy domain style suddenly appeared.
Overall, the layout here is like a hundred times enlarged Chenyue Valley.
Food, accommodation, business, entertainment, and cultivation venues are all available.
There are all kinds of creatures on the street, with the most human beings, but there are also many other races with different shapes and forms. Su Huai even saw an elf who was fortune-telling at a stall, and a green-skinned little ghost selling melons at the corner of the street.
It can be said to be a prosperous place.
Although it is not as good as the former Medicine King City, it is obvious that it has been recognized by the Nine Treasures City from the small shop with a golden skeleton sitting at the corner of the street, and has entered the ranks of "big cities."
The center of the street is a seven-story building with a main color of vermilion. It is the most prosperous place in the whole city.
"Si Yi Chamber of Commerce..."
Zhang Yuanyuan looked along Su Huai's line of sight and suddenly became numb.
How can this seven-story building be more magnificent than the headquarters of the Red Maple Chamber of Commerce?
Also, not long ago, Ah Hong said that a mysterious dark horse in the business world came out of the northwest wilderness, with a dragon background... It seems to be called this name?
While Zhang Yuanyuan was pondering, Su Huai had already disappeared and entered the Si Yi Chamber of Commerce with the crowd.
One floor is a class.
The first floor is ordinary things, the second floor is miscellaneous things, the third floor is spiritual things, the fourth floor is imperial products...
The sixth floor is an auction venue, only for VIPs.
As for the seventh floor... it is the office of the Si Yi Chamber of Commerce, and no outsiders are allowed.
Su Huai went all the way to the seventh floor, followed the breath on the expanded corridor for a while, and pushed open the door of the Chamber of Commerce President's office.
The president's office is not very big.
In addition to a low table, the room is full of all kinds of books, scrolls, and the remaining narrow space is also filled with the smell of high-grade ink.
The hobby of collecting "knowledge" is still the same as when I first met.
Sunlight spills in from the open window, reflecting on the face of a girl in a light green dress.
Seeing someone enter the president's office silently, the girl was first shocked, and then when she found out it was Su Huai, she was confused. Her gaze subconsciously looked behind him.
"Why are you back?"
"Where is Si Yi?"
Su Huai's mouth twitched, and he didn't know where to start with a full mouth of forced words.
"Si Yi was sold by me."
"What??"
"No, I mean Xiao Cao, as soon as I come back, you ask about Si Yi, and the name of the Chamber of Commerce is still Si Yi. You won't be trying to pry into my corner, will you?"
"The woman of the elder brother also dares to covet, not afraid of the elder brother digging a pit to bury you?"
Cao Yi's eyes jumped, and a "#" character bulged on her forehead. The book in her hand slapped Su Huai's face.
Su Huai turned his head to avoid it, then bent over to pick up the "New Compilation of Laws", and then slumped on the soft chair in the room, grinning.
"Si Yi is still in a secret place for cultivation, and Li Sidao is also there. You tell me when you find a time, and I'll take you there. Your cultivation... it's really a bit poor, I'm afraid you can't even beat the green-skinned little ghost selling melons outside."
"No, no." Cao Yi put the corner on the small table and casually picked up a book called "Strange Tales of Mountains and Seas" from beside her.
"I really don't like cultivation... Now the cultivation is just enough, and when I feel that I am at my best, I will buy some resources and forcibly pile them up to the imperial state."
"What's the use of a businessman having such strength? Look at those outside, even the ninth-order, or the imperial state, they still have to work for me obediently."
Su Huai turned his head and looked at Cao Yi, and inexplicably thought of some coal bosses' remarks when he was a worker on Earth: "What's the use of reading? What's the use of reading for more than ten years,
and after graduation, you still have to work for me?"
It can only be said... It highlights a wise man.
Don't you see how many people can become coal bosses.
Of course, Cao Yi is definitely not a coal boss, she is a capitalist. Whether she has a conscience or not is unknown, but she is definitely a cultured capitalist.
The author of this "Law" in Su Huai's hand is written with her name.
Su Huai only flipped a few pages and felt that she is really a talent.
