The sun was shining brightly in the sky. Over ten flying mountains drifted across the sky along with the wind.
Mr. Crow stood on the edge of a mountain, tilted its head and cawed from time to time. Ji Hao stood under Mr. Crow's wings, quietly looking down at the boundless Southern Wasteland jungle tens of miles away.
This jungle used to belong to the Bi Fang Clan, but now it had become the hunting ground of the Gold Crow Clan.
Large groups of Gold Crow Clan clansmen, who were newly born, had been happily working in the jungle. They cut down trees to build houses, dug rocks to build fences, opened up fields to sow seeds, built barns to raise large animals for food. Everyone was so busy.
Each new clan had only one to two thousand people, and the proportion of the elderly, young and middle-aged people was fixed.
New hunting grounds, new territories, these small clans were the seeds that the Gold Black Mountain had spread out. They would give birth to their children and live under the protection of the Gold Crow Clan. In the Southern Wasteland, many famous clans had been established like this.
Thousands of these seeds had been spread out by the Gold Crow Clan. After tens of years, as long as a small half of these seeds could grow and develop, the power of the entire Gold Crow Clan would double. New clans, new clansmen, new blood, all these would be the new, powerful Gold Crow Clan!
"Mr. Crow, this is hope!" Ji Hao spread his arms, facing the fierce gale and yelled, "This is hope!"
Mr. Crow spread his wings as well, excitedly cawing against the fierce gale. Every single move of his was exactly like Ji Hao.
On Ji Hao's shoulders, two inch-long red snakes, one on the left and one on the right, wriggled, opened their small mouths and gently bit Ji Hao's earlobes. They hung themselves on Ji Hao's ears like earrings, and started swinging delightfully.
These were two magic fire snakes, gifts given by Zhu Rong Tonggong to Ji Hao for defeating three-thousand powerful enemies all by himself, to fulfill his promise.
Snakes were magical creatures. Just like dragons, they could rise, dive, transform, and hide. When they were flying, they could be accompanied by the wind and clouds, and when they were hiding, they could be as small as a mustard seed. Snakes were magical creatures that were highly intelligent.
There were many kinds of snakes in the world. Different kinds of natural powers existed in the world, different kinds of snakes could be found. Even powerful divine beasts like dragons and phoenixes didn't have such a complete variety. Therefore, snakes had always held a unique and sacred position in the hearts of the ancient people.
Not to mention how many tribes had powerful snakes as their totems — for example, the Black Water Serpent Tribe!
In the ancient legends, there were many gods who kept divine snakes as pets. Some of them had two snakes hanging on their ears, some had long snakes around their necks, some had snakes around their waists, and some had snakes coiling around their hands and feet. The divine snakes they chose were all mutants of heaven and earth. They possessed all sorts of powerful and miraculous abilities and were the best assistants for the ancient gods in battle.
These two magic fiery snakes came from a natural volcanic crater in the Zhu Rong Country. The snake eggs had to be incubated in the ancient red lotus flame for three thousand years before they finally hatched. These two magic fiery snakes were born with the ability to control the underground fire, and the fire that they spat out could even melt gold and destroy rocks.
Besides, once a magic fiery snake recognized its master, it would be completely loyal and would live and die together with its master, and would never betray its master.
These two magic fire snakes were hatched less than three months ago. Compared to their thousands of years of maturation, they were just like newborn babies. They were extremely naughty, and had been running around Ji Hao's body every single day, without a single moment of peace.
Ji Hao gently stroked the two baby magic fiery snakes, sighed and said, "I've become a rich family, and now I have two more big bellies to feed! You're only as big as a carrot, and each of you has to eat an entire buffalo a day! Fortunately, the Southern Wasteland is rich in natural resources, otherwise, how could I afford to feed you? "
The two magic fiery snakes, named Big Fire and Small Fire by Ji Hao, laughed out loud, and excitedly began chasing after Ji Hao's neck. Their tails were swinging and hitting each other, and occasionally, their tails would hit Ji Hao's neck, leaving a thin red mark.
Ji Hao's current physical condition was as great as that of an ordinary Senior Magus who had just broken into the level of Senior Magus, but these two little things could leave a mark on his body with a casual swing of their tails. It was not hard to tell how powerful they were, and how great their potential was.
Mr. Crow couldn't help but look at the two little things in awe.
By now, Mr. Crow was far more powerful than these two little things, but in terms of bloodline and potential, Mr. Crow was far less powerful than these two little things. These two little things were the direct descendants of the two ancient magic fiery snakes raised by the Zhu Rong Family, and were equal to the pure-blooded descendants of the Zhu Rong Family. They could even break into the level of Divine Magi in the future!
These two little things were powerful enough to become the totem of a large Southern Wasteland clan. Therefore, Mr. Crow couldn't help but think highly of these two naughty little things.
"Ha! Ha!"
In the jungle in front of Ji Hao, a fierce aura of killing had reached the sky. A troop of elite warriors, who were wearing heavy red armors, had been training crazily in a basin.
Hundreds of thousands of slaves had been building a fort under the supervision of Gold Crow Clan warriors. Judging from the scale of the foundation they had dug, this fort was large enough to accommodate a million people. Before, the Gold Crow Clan couldn't build a fort of this scale, even with all of its resources.
However, with the large amount of wealth and slaves provided by Zhu Rong Tonggong, the Gold Crow Clan finally had the confidence to build such a fort in front of the Gold Black Mountain. In the future, this Gold Crow City would become the core of the Gold Crow Clan's territory.
Ji Hao looked at that heavily armored elite troop, which was around a hundred thousand warriors. This was the 'Gold Crow Army', which was formed by Zhu Rong Tonggong's large amount of armors and weapons, after Ji Xia was appointed as the Gold Crow General. This was a 'professional army' under the direct command of Zhu Rong Tonggong, and nominally, was a regular army of the Zhu Rong Country.
The Gold Crow Army was no longer a private army, which could be gathered during battles. Instead, it was a full-time army, which had been training for many years, and was ready for battles at any moment. Not to mention how powerful the newly formed Gold Crow Army was, at least in terms of status, none of the tens of large clans surrounding the Gold Crow Clan, including the Bi Fang Clan, which used to be the Gold Crow Clan, dared to show their teeth to the Gold Crow Clan.
The Gold Crow Army was a regular army of the Zhu Rong Country, and was also the 'Crown Prince's private army', which was under the direct command of Zhu Rong Tonggong.
This status was more than enough to frighten all Southern Wasteland clans.
The food, clothing, living and transportation of these hundred thousand warriors, including all armors and weapons, even the support of their families and all kinds of auxiliary resources that they needed for their cultivation, were all borne by Zhu Rong Tonggong alone. All the armors and weapons used by these warriors were the best that the Zhu Rong Country could provide.
Before, Zhu Rong Tonggong only had five troops like this under his command. Including the Gold Crow Army, he only had six troops.
"I think I roughly know why Ji Shu and his people colluded with the Blood Fang and sold slaves." Ji Hao smilingly looked down at the boiling basin, and said blandly, "Otherwise, how could their masters have spare money to support their armies?"
However, Ji Shu and his people were already in the past.
The current Gold Crow Clan was becoming more and more powerful, and was destined to become even more powerful.
From a long distance away, a sphere of fiery light swooshed over. On the back of that gigantic fiery dragon, Man Man was waving her pair of mountain-crushing hammers, jumping up and down like a monkey, while yelling and yelling at Ji Hao.
From a long distance away, Man Man excitedly threw a pair of gigantic hammers towards Ji Hao.
"Ji Hao, this is Man Man's new weapon, do you think you can hold it?"
