"Don't have the right to control you? What the hell have you been doing?! "
"It's been nearly two months, and the Spring Mountain is only hundreds of miles away from here. How come thousands of slaves haven't even finished building their own shelters?!"
"So many days, so many people, but you haven't even built a mine in the Cold Stream Valley. What the hell have you been doing these days?!"
"Also, also, where are the rations for humans, the beast meat for pack beasts and battle beasts, the tools needed for prospecting and mining mines? Where are all these things? You've wasted two months here?! "
Under the starlight, Ji Xia waved his long arms and yelled at the two lazy and careless strong men with a stern voice.
The two muscular men were wearing metal armors, which were rarely seen in the Southern Wasteland, and had heavy swords around their waists, which were emitting strong magical power vibrations. Facing Ji Xia's yelling, they just responded with arrogance, and didn't take Ji Xia's words seriously at all.
"Ji Xia, your mouth is on your face, you can say whatever you want. Anyway, we've already sent these five thousand slaves to you. From now on, the mining of the Cold Stream Valley and everything else is your business, it has nothing to do with us! "
The two muscular men laughed out loud, then whistled. A fierce gust of wind came from the sky, and a few iron-claw vultures, which had a wingspan of tens of feet, descended from the sky. The two muscular men jumped onto the backs of the iron-claw vultures. These ferocious-looking birds rose into the sky, hovered in the air, and then flew towards the Gold Black Mountain.
Ji Xia raised his right hand high in anger, but didn't move.
Before, if anyone had dared to neglect a task assigned by the clan, he would have given them a slap on the face after scolding them for a long time. But now, as the two muscular men had said, he was no longer the leader of the Fire Crow Clan's warriors. How could he have the right to scold them?
Suddenly, Ji Hao felt a heavy weight on his shoulder. Mr Crow flew down from the sky and stepped on his shoulder.
Ji Hao walked behind Ji Xia, looked at the few eagles that were quickly becoming smaller in the sky, and said coldly: "Abba, are they Ji Shu's clansmen? Should we kill them? "
Mr Crow cawed, and a few sparks spurted out from the corners of its beak.
Qing Ying came out of nowhere like a ghost, waved a long arrow, and shouted excitedly, "Hao is right, let's kill them. At this distance, I only need one arrow to make them fall half to death! "
Ji Xia put down his hand, patted on Ji Hao's head and said with a warm smile, "Don't come up with any bad ideas. If they didn't do a good job, that's their fault. We can't break the rules of our clan and hurt our clansmen."
Looking at Ji Xia's scrawny face, Ji Hao once again recalled what happened when he fainted. Ji Xia had blocked a fatal attack for him with his own chest, and that boiling hot blood had splashed on his body. That feeling was truly unforgettable.
"Of course, I won't take the initiative to provoke them." Ji Hao smiled, then turned around and carefully observed this valley.
The starlight was like water, brightly illuminating the surroundings. His field of vision was still clear under the moonlight. Ji Hao was standing right in the middle of the valley. This valley was tens of miles long from east to west, and the widest part of the valley was two to three miles wide. A tens of zhang wide, extremely deep and rapid mountain stream flowed through the middle of the valley. Around the stream, large pieces of natural gold and jade could be seen.
The water of the stream was extremely cold. Ji Hao could still feel the cold air blowing on his face from over a mile away. The extremely cold stream water flushed the gold and jade pieces on both sides of the stream, letting out silvery clattering noises. Under the starlight, these gold and jade pieces, which had been flushed by the cold water, were now shining with a beautiful luster.
"What an amazingly large mine." Ji Hao sighed sincerely.
"It is indeed a very large mine. After we came here, your Amma took some people with her to do a survey. The mine here is very shallow and easy to dig. Every year, hundreds of thousands of pure gold and tens of thousands of jade pieces can be harvested. " Ji Xia frowned and said, "But those bastards from the Hundred Spring Mountain, except for five thousand slaves, they didn't have anything else."
'Ding! Ding! Dang!' All kinds of knocking sounds were echoing in the valley.
Thousands of slaves were chanting in a low voice. With their efforts, tens of tall wooden houses had already been built on the other side of the stream.
On top of the cliff, tens of Fire Crow Clan's warriors were working hard to build watchtowers on the cliff, which could be used to look into the distance. A few long vines were hanging down from the top of the cliff, pulling thick logs up to the cliff wall one after another.
On both sides of the valley, a large group of warriors were supervising a group of slaves, who were building fences with earth. The foundation of the fences was built with thick logs on the ground. As long as the two rows of logs were filled with soil and rocks, the fences would be strong enough to withstand attacks from wild beasts.
The Cold Stream Valley was located in the northernmost part of the Fire Crow Clan's territory. It was surrounded by wild mountains, wild beasts, and all kinds of unpredictable risks. If the fences weren't built to encircle the Cold Stream Valley, many of these slaves would die.
Footsteps were heard. Qing Fu and a few warriors were walking over quickly.
Seeing Ji Hao, Qing Fu smiled, rubbed Ji Xia's head intimately, then handed a fist-sized red jade to Ji Xia and said, "Xia, this mine doesn't only contain ordinary gold and jade. I've sent people to dig ten feet into the ground and found this."
Ji Hao curiously looked at the red jade block. The red jade block had been releasing a great heat, and there was a faint red liquid flowing in the translucent jade block. Under the seven-colored starlight, the red jade block reflected a hazy fiery light, which was quite dazzling.
"Hm? Is that the Fire Essence? It's a great treasure for our Senior Magi with the nature of fire, and it's also a good material for forging magic tools and treasures. " Ji Xia popped his eyes out in surprise and said, "A piece of Fire Essence is worth thousands of gold and hundreds of jade."
Qing Fu said in a deep voice, "We need to inform our Maguspriests as soon as possible about the discovery of the Fire Essence. We need to send more warriors to guard this place. Also, Xia, you need to go hunting with Ying in the morning. Thousands of slaves and so many warriors, but they didn't bring any food. "
Ji Xia, Qing Fu and a few warriors with higher positions gathered together and started planning the management of the Cold Stream Valley.
Ji Hao took over the Fire Essence from Ji Xia's hand and carefully sent his strong spiritual power into it. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he sensed a terrifying heat. Ji Hao felt as if his whole body was soaked in lava, and he almost let out a scream.
Ji Hao was surprised and happy at the same time. What kind of Fire Essence was this? This was obviously a rare treasure called the 'Fire Essence Crystal'! In his previous life, Ji Hao had seen a thumb-sized piece of Fire Essence Crystal, which was less than one percent of the size of the one he was holding in his hand, and its quality was a few times lower than the one he was holding in his hand. However, for such a small piece of Fire Essence Crystal, hundreds of powerful warriors had lost their lives!
This was indeed a great treasure. This Cold Stream Valley was definitely a great treasure.
No matter who it was, as long as they could protect the Cold Stream Valley well, and offer the quality of gold, jade and Fire Essence Crystals to the clan, it would be a great contribution to the clan. How could Ji Shu be so kind as to give such a great contribution to Ji Xia?
