258: Three Color City

Han Huohuo sighed: "It's really not my fault, you should ask Northern Darkness."

Mu Jiu searched for a long time but didn't see Northern Darkness, so she asked Han Huohuo: "Where is Northern Darkness?"

Han Huohuo put on a wronged expression and deliberately said: "It threw me down from ten thousand meters high, and then went out to play by itself."

Mu Jiu pouted; she knew Han Huohuo too well. He was definitely spouting nonsense again; most likely, Northern Darkness couldn't fly anymore, and they fell together.

Poor little Northern Darkness, working so hard and still being slandered by Han Huohuo.

"It's too desolate to build a city here, mainly because there's no water. It's hard to expand the scale, so why don't we just build a pure military fortress?"

Han Huohuo disagreed: "This Desert is also a peculiar place. I still want to build a big city, and in fact, there is no shortage of water here at all."

Mu Jiu was startled: "No shortage of water?"

Han Huohuo nodded: "I walked around and found an Oasis to the west, and in the caves of many small mountains to the north, water is gushing out. This indicates that there are abundant underground rivers here, so there's no shortage of water at all."

Mu Jiu still had some doubts: "Even if there are underground rivers, they might not extend beneath our city, and we haven't explored them."

Han Huohuo laughed: "It doesn't matter. It's better if they connect, but if they don't, we'll just dig them over, won't we?"

Mu Jiu smiled.

This was Han Huohuo's domineering nature. The natives of this world had never thought of moving mountains or changing rivers, but in Han Huohuo's eyes, these were not even an issue.

What followed shocked Huo Yuan and his brothers even more.

Han Huohuo had countless mechanical workers move the Oasis over.

Not a single blade of grass was left; everything was moved here. The topsoil was dug up and directly transplanted, and the underground river was also connected. Furthermore, Han Huohuo was very righteous; he didn't even move the Oasis into his own city but placed it between the two cities, making it a green corridor connecting them, also covering two mines.

The city construction was in full swing, and Han Huohuo had already sent out mining robots in advance to start collecting red jade.

Tens of thousands of mechanical workers started at the same time, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

There was a constant Ding Ding sound everywhere.

There was a small hill in the city, the highest mountain nearby. Han Huohuo built a beautiful building on the hilltop and was drinking tea on its platform. The platform was higher than the city wall, offering a view of the endless Desert outside.

Mu Jiu was busy directing the city's construction, while Han Huohuo invited Huo Yuan and a few others to sit here and drink tea.

Huo Yuan was a bit uneasy and couldn't help but ask: "Da Ge, will you no longer need us if you mine by yourself in the future?"

Han Huohuo knew his concern and laughed: "How could that be? I also don't have time to manage this place. Only after coming here did I realize how vast this world is. There are endless territories to the west, so exploring this world requires many like-minded people. What do you say?"

Huo Yuan was very moved: "It all depends on Da Ge."

Han Huohuo nodded: "Develop Hongyu City well. I will have robots help you with its construction to perfect the infrastructure. But remember, I can only support you initially. How far you ultimately go depends on your own ability."

Several people cupped their hands together: "We will not fail Da Ge's trust and will work hard."

With a splash in the distance, a dead giant python fell from the sky, startling Han Huohuo. Just moments ago, he had been acting like a Da Ge, but now his teacup spilled, and all his composure was gone. He looked up and saw that Northern Darkness had returned, having killed a python from somewhere and thrown it down.

Han Huohuo was almost fuming.

The snakes in the Desert are very small, and he had no idea where Northern Darkness had caught this python. Northern Darkness's personality was also strange; it particularly loathed all snakes and would attack them whenever it saw one.

Northern Darkness saw that Mu Jiu had arrived and had no time to deal with the python, so it threw it down first. Then it landed in front of Mu Jiu and affectionately rubbed its head against her.

Huo Yuan couldn't help but exclaim: "This large bird is truly too intelligent."

Northern Darkness is an ancient exotic species, and it is still a child, very far from adulthood. Perhaps it will take more than ten thousand years to become an adult large bird, but even as a young bird, it already shows its extraordinary nature.

After sending Northern Darkness away, Mu Jiu walked up the mountain and came to ask Han Huohuo: "What do you plan to name this city?"

Han Huohuo thought for a moment. Previously, he only wanted red jade ore, so he named Huo Yuan's city Hongyu City.

But in reality, there were three types of jade ore here.

Moreover, these three types of ore seemed to be very valuable.

"How about Three-Color City then!"

Always simple and direct, Mu Jiu smiled without speaking and had someone engrave the words "Three-Color City" on the city gate, establishing it in the midst of the great Desert.

After the underground river was explored, it was actually not far from here, and Han Huohuo extended the underground river into both cities.

Not only did he connect a water source to Three-Color City, but he also connected one to Hongyu City, and then he pulled out some robots to help Hongyu City restore its original appearance.

By the time the city was almost complete,

Huo Yuan quietly asked Han Huohuo: "Da Ge, now that the city is built, can we allow native merchant caravans to come over and conduct some business?"

Han Huohuo replied: "Yes, we can't just sit around doing nothing, but this is a wild land, and I've heard that the natives here are very savage, so we need to pay attention to defense. Also, these jade ores cannot be sold for now; keep all of them, I need them. Other things can be traded."

Huo Yuan nodded. Jade was certainly valuable, but the items dropped by Desert Zerg were also quite good. However, some items were not particularly needed by the Lords, such as Zerg skin and Zerg claws, which could be used to make armor and weapons. Although the Lords didn't like them, the natives loved them, and it would be too wasteful to leave them in the warehouse.

The red jade problem was completely resolved. Some mechanical troops were left here for defense, and Han Huohuo also invited Huo Yuan and his brothers to visit Tongtian City through the space-time gate when they had time.

Then, with many urgent matters, he hastily left this place.

Three-Color City, like a bright pearl in the Desert, began to influence the history of the distant, wild land.

Han Huohuo, of course, didn't need to fly back; he went directly to Snow Wave City through a teleportation gate.

It was originally deep winter, which should have been a severe climate, but under the illumination of the sun lamps, Snow Wave City was like spring. Even the small grass thought spring had arrived and sprouted early, creating a vibrant green expanse.

Han Xin had very dark circles under his eyes. Fighting skeletons every day, even an immortal would be a bit overwhelmed.

Han Huohuo walked over and patted Han Xin: "You go to Tongtian City to rest for a few days; I'll take over."

Han Xin bowed but didn't leave immediately.

He had Han Huohuo sit down and carefully analyzed the battle situation for him, as well as the fluctuations in the number of enemies appearing. Additionally, the number of Lich mixed in with the skeletons was increasing, and these Lich mixed among the skeletons had an extremely long range, making them very troublesome.
