Chapter 292

Yes, the land in the Misty Mountains was also black soil.

In fact… it was even a bit more fertile than the land on the Miracle Plains.

That was perfectly normal.

The Miracle Plains were dominated by wild grass.

The Misty Mountains were dominated by trees.

And this was a primeval forest with no human activity.

Over the years, a thick layer of black soil had formed on the ground from rotted leaves!

It was extremely fertile.

It just wasn't as flat as the Miracle Plains, but the mountains also contained large stretches of gently sloping land, and occasionally one could see sizable small plains.

The several dozen people behind the flying unit were basically the escort for this trip.

At this moment, every one of those guards was craning their neck to look down.

That boundary line was truly a magnificent sight!

"Princess, look!"

The sword-bearing girl Ningcui said softly.

Princess Luoying lowered her gaze and saw a mighty pass rising abruptly from a perilous spot between two mountain peaks.

Behind this mighty pass, a small city was still under construction!

Princess Luoying couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

This mighty pass, and the city behind the pass, looked rather well built!

They didn't really look like buildings that beastmen could construct!

The flying unit quickly passed over this mighty pass, and Princess Luoying pressed her doubts down slightly and continued looking ahead.

And once past this mighty pass, one could see large numbers of beastmen behind, cultivating land in the Misty Mountains.

On the black soil, vast stretches of green land had appeared.

These plots of land were still remarkably neat.

On the land, row upon row of plants looked lush and green.

This kind of neat and orderly crop-planting method, once the quantity reached a certain scale, also looked pleasing to the eye.

Especially looking down from the air, the scenery was simply incredible!

"Is this where the beastmen plant the divine beans?"

Princess Luoying thought.

And as the flying unit continued on, Princess Luoying began to feel surprised.

Because the planted area was simply too vast.

Every part of the Misty Mountains that had been burned by the great fire was uniformly divine-bean land!

With such a vast area under cultivation, what must the yield be?

She had heard that a single mu of divine beans could produce over ten thousand jin!

What also surprised her was the beastmen's method of cultivation.

These plots of land were too neat — even humans would find it hard to plant like this.

But the beastmen had done it!

After flying on for a few more minutes, a city appeared in view.

That city was built between two mountains, covered a sizable area, and was home to at least several tens of thousands of people.

Moreover, the houses inside the city looked neat and orderly, and were generally built very tall.

"This must be the capital of Yan Country, right? The houses inside are built so tall — aren't they afraid they'll collapse?"

Princess Luoying thought.

In the capital of the Hiling Kingdom, most houses were generally three or four stories, even one or two stories.

There were some over ten stories, but they were very few in number.

But in this city, ordinary houses were all over eight stories!

"Finally here. This city looks decent too — quite a bit better than I imagined."

Princess Luoying thought.

Just as she was about to have the flying magical beasts descend, she noticed that the two winged-human warriors leading the way showed no sign of stopping at all, and instead flew straight ahead.

Princess Luoying couldn't help asking:

"Aren't you going down?"

Up ahead, a female winged-human warrior turned her head and said in surprise: "We haven't arrived yet — this is the city built by the Grey Wolf Clan."

The Grey Wolf Clan.

Princess Luoying gave an "Oh," thinking that this Grey Wolf Clan must be a fairly powerful race within Yan Country, to be able to build such a large city!

The flying unit continued onward.

After flying on for another few minutes, another city appeared in view.

This city covered a similarly sizable area, about the same as the previous one.

The distance between the two cities was only a dozen or so kilometers, and between city and city, all the land had been cultivated and planted everywhere with divine beans.

In the fields, one could also see large numbers of busy beastmen, a scene of tremendous activity.

"Another city!"

Surprise rose within Princess Luoying.

The architectural style of this city was not much different from the previous one.
