Chapter 1174: Dragon Canyon

Chapter 1174: Dragon Canyon

I passed the dragon tomb and the cold wind continued to sweep the sky. Below was a huge valley and there was nothing growing here. From afar, one could see many giant dragons circling above. On the ground, soldiers holding flags from Dragon City walked forwards slowly. Frost and Zhi Shu were among them.

"Hua!"

Mei'er's wings slashed past the wind and glided down into the valley. This valley was huge and it was even bigger than Green Qilin Valley. It was neighboring Dragon City and was indeed a good choice. However, it was barren and there was nothing growing here at all. How could they raise hundreds of dragons here?

...

"Peng!"

Mei'er's claws dug a deep moat in the ground. I jumped off the dragon's back and said to Frost, "Are we really planning to build the new Dragon Territory here?"

Frost nodded, "En, this is already the best choice."

Not far away, a blue dragon was coiled on the ground. A cavalry held a goat and when he tossed it out, the blue dragon burnt it before swallowing it. Blood splattered and it looked very cruel.

Qing Luo rode a black horse and her face was filled with worry, "The food we have to provide is too much. Many dragons are flying over to the east ocean in search of food. They aren't good at hunting and so they came back hungry. This isn't a long term plan."

Frost said, "Right, so we need to build this place into the Valley of the Dragons."

"Valley of the Dragons?" I smiled, "The name is not bad. This random valley can really be built into the valley of the dragons?"

"En."

Frost nodded, "As long as we put our minds to it we definitely would be able to. We need to build an ecosystem first and plant enough crops."

Zhi Shu said, "The wind from Dragon City is too cold, normal plants won't be able to survive"

I sucked in a deep breath and said, "En, normal plants won't be able to survive on the mountain ridge but the valley is at 10-20 degrees so many plants can survive."

Frost looked at me in excitement, "Xiao Yao, do you have any ideas?"

"This..." I tried to recall things about biology, "Plant a needle-leaf forest all around, these trees can help to fend off the cold. We can also grab some animals that feed on these plants and live in the cold to be raised in this forest. In the ridge, we can plant tropical plants and further in, we can plant other extra plants."

"What else, what else?" Frost looked at me in excitement. Her eyes were filled with much awe.

I looked towards the south of Valley of the Dragons, "Use cannons to blow the south range open and let the hot wind from Ba Huang City blow in. Then we can connect with the army of Dragon City. At most in 2-3 years, the ecology chain here would be formed."

Frost smiled, "En en, but... Dragon Crystal Cannons aren't enough to blow open the hundreds of meter thick mountains."

"That is okay, the Royal Army can use God Dragon Cannons to help."

"That is great!"

"Moreover." I looked towards frost, "With your strength, you can destroy a mountain range right?"

Frost was stunned, "Oh,

that... I nearly forgot..."

"Then make preparations and send out a quest for adventurers to join in so we can build the Valley of the Dragons quickly!"

"En!"

...

In the next moment, a bell rang in the sky and a building type quest was announced--

"Ding!"

System Notification: Players please note, Dragon City has officially published the quest !

Quest contents: Head towards the Valley of the Dragons east of Dragon City and you can get quests from any Dragon City NPC. Among them include plant crops, chasing animals, sowing seeds, opening rivers, moving stones, hunting beasts etc. Choose the quest you like and for each one you complete, you will obtain experience, gold and Dragon City merit points. Moreover, after completing all of them, the player who do the most will obtain relevant rewards!

...

The moment the quest was published, the Zhan Long players were excited. I also announced for them to try to join the quest. The more people joined in, the quicker things would be completed. Then, Dragon City would indeed be strong enough to battle with the Hybrid Demons in the north.

All of a sudden, the entire Valley of the Dragons looked new. Many locations where one could plant crops appeared.

I thought about it. One could imagine players carrying trees running on the streets of Tian Ling City. What would that be like? Forget about shifting current crops, that wouldn't give much experience. Planting would be more reliable. As for opening new areas and opening rivers, they were decent quests.

I spoke to Frost and chose to sow seeds.

Time to head to buy seeds!

...

I headed back to the city and bought a bunch of seeds. There were only a few options like malt seeds so I just bought them all. I used my all-knowing talent to head to several shops to buy all the available ones. Although they were expensive but they were worth it for the experience. I teleported to Fan Shu City and who knew that Fan Shu City had its own special seeds. Some trees and vegetable seeds were also sold here so I bought many. I stored the random items in my bag before keeping some potions, a set of God's Army Cards. I then filled up my entire bag before heading to Valley of the Dragons!

When I was here, I noticed that this place was full of people. Not only were there people from Zhan Long, but there were also players from other guilds. The barren valley was now filled with life. At the same time, Tian Ling City had 4 quests. One at Ba Huang City, one at Jiu Li City, one at Tian Ling City and one here. Even if many people headed to the other three, but the new quest here still attracted millions.

Without bothering about Mei'er's opposition, I used Icy Wings state in case she played around and flew into the valley. I flew above and tossed out the seeds like a plane into the marked locations. I could see many filled bag of seeds landing into the dirt and starting to breathe life into the place.

After close to 10 minutes, I was done and started to plant some vegetable seeds. Very quickly I created a few farm areas that was marked as planted. The 40+ tree seedlings I had bought were all planted and were growing. They grew really quickly. Maybe due to the quest, one apple tree seedling grew to the size of half a human in less than 20 minutes. It was at most an hour from growing to its full height.

Very good, the Valley of the Dragons sped things up. If not, it would take a year or two for this valley to prosper. That would be half a year in real life, one couldn't accept such a long wait at all.

...

I went back to Tian Ling City, Flaming Cloud City and Moon City to buy a batch of seeds, heading to all their stalls. At the same time, I also saw Lin Wan Er. She was carrying a Peach Tree seedling while purchasing various seeds on the streets. She had a wide smile. Girls all liked such planting quests right?

When I was back at Valley of the Dragons, the plants that I had planted had started to sprout.

The wheat was dancing in the wind. In the distance, many apple, orange, and soursop trees started to bear fruit. Green apples and red soursops were all around the branches. This felt totally different from killing bosses, like I had raised something. I walked forwards and touched an apple.

But at that moment, an entire branch and dozens of apples scattered. A wind dragon chewed on the apples while looking at me teasingly.

I was furious but it wasn't good to attack. Moreover, planting these was for the giant dragons. I held it in!

I continued to sow seeds and I was not the only one. Many cavalries used their speed advantage to run around. In 2 hours, over 20% of the area was filled with life. The players planted not only wheat and corn, they also planted many wild plants to increase the ecological environment here.

Not only that, many wild rabbits, pigs and deer appeared. Players had chased them in. These animals were neutral beings so players didn't get experience from killing them. After Valley of the Dragons was built, the animals bred so they would provide the giant dragons a stable food source.

...

I continued until dinner and there was no extra area to plant in the valley. I could only head to dig rivers. The river from Ba Huang City was made to connect into the Valley of the Dragons to provide water for the valley. This river was a hundred miles long. But players did so willingly and one could obtain achievement points. This could give them experience and rewards in the end.

Thus, an interesting scene appeared as players waved their spears, swords and daggers at specified locations. Their faces were filled with excitement.
