Now the perspective turns back to the Central Plains region.

Outside Baihe City, a team coming from the north immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers on duty on the wall.

But there is no need to be too cautious at all.

Because the huge mammoth and the ice bear warriors riding ice bears are really conspicuous.

"It's the exploration team sent to the bitter cold land! The exploration team is back!"

The news that the exploration team had returned from the bitter cold place spread all over the wall in an instant.

Then it got into the ears of Zhang Lue who was on duty.

Outside the city, Hill, sitting on the back of the mammoth Huck, looked at the city in front of her from a distance, feeling that the city had become more majestic than when she left.

This is indeed the case.

Baihe City has actually been expanded twice towards the north.

The area of ​​the entire city has increased by about a quarter.

"Finally home……"

Wait, why did she say it back?

Hill shook his head subtly.

Even she herself couldn't deny that during the few months she went deep into the bitter cold land, she missed the life of civilization in all worlds.

Although compared to the frozen soil where she had lived for more than twenty years, she had only lived in the civilization of all worlds for one winter.

The news that Hill and the others had safely returned to the civilization of all realms was quickly delivered to Luo Ji.

After a long journey, they obviously needed to rest for a few days in Baihe City.

By the time they returned to Mirror City, it was already two weeks later.

There have been so many changes along the way.

The biggest change is that there seem to be two more cities...

Oh my god, how long have they been gone? There are actually two more cities on the road?

One of these two cities is undoubtedly Qingshui City, which was just completed some time ago.

The other one is the territory of the werewolf tribe.

After many awards and expansions by Luo Ji.

Although the current residence of the werewolf tribe is a bit smaller, it seems to fully meet the standards of a city.

At the same time, it was also officially named ‘Spike City’ by Luo Ji.

It has been the envy of several other orc tribes for a while.

Afterwards, Hill and the others were in a daze again when they arrived at Mirror City.

The buildings and streets in the city were completely different from what they remembered.

As a result, they got a little lost for a while.

There are also the new races of goblins, cat people, tigers, and a lot of new things that they can't even name, all of which are constantly refreshing their worldview.

Why do you feel like they left for a trip, and when they came back, the whole world had changed?

At this time, the entire civilization of the world is busy preparing and checking supplies for winter.

Luo Ji obviously didn't have time to summon them in a short time.

However, Luo Ji was not in a hurry about this matter at all.

Because the exploration team doesn't care whether they find resources or not.

The location of the resource point was also beyond his reach.

In other words, the reason why he sent an exploration team to the bitter cold land was just to establish a foothold in advance for future territorial expansion.

Under this premise, is there any difference between hearing the report a few days later or a few days earlier?

In this way, if Luo Ji is not in a hurry, then Hill and the others will be even less anxious.

For Hill and others who have just escaped from the sea of ​​suffering.

Even if you don't do anything every day, just curl up in bed and sleep, you will be happy.

God knows how long it has been since they had a good night's sleep?

Not to mention that there are all kinds of delicious and rich foods in Mirror City.

Let them enjoy it first.

By the time Luo Ji actually summoned them, it was already near the end of the month.

Take the map presented to you.

It was drawn by members of the exploration team during the months they spent deep in the bitter cold.

The moment Luo Ji took over the map.

His system map was updated simultaneously.

The bitter cold land that was originally shrouded in fog suddenly cleared up a large area.

To use a saying in their gaming circle.

That is to open your horizons.

For Luo Ji, with this map alone, this trip to the bitter cold land was not in vain.

However, Hill and the others obviously brought him more news.

Of course, the news isn't necessarily good.

For example, from Hill's report, Luo Ji learned that a group of monsters that looked like woolly pigs appeared in the bitter cold land.

According to Hill's description of the physical characteristics of those monsters.

In all likelihood, the orcs didn't run away.

After all, in his civilization of all realms, apart from humans and goblins, there are only a wide variety of orcs.

There are orcs in the bitter cold land, which is not good news.

Because this means that if he wants to expand his territory to the bitter cold land in the future, he will have to face many obstacles from the orcs.

However, this news has just been said.

Hill soon brought him another piece of bad news.

That is, the orcs took over their northern tribe’s original territory...

And the main purpose of their trip.

In other words, the resource points that Luo Ji needed them to confirm were all near that area.

"So, you came back empty-handed this time?"

His tone of voice was neither happy nor sad, making it impossible to understand his happiness and anger.

But it made Hill and the others feel a pressure invisibly.

"Actually, it's not like I came back empty-handed."

"oh?"

Luo Ji raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

Immediately his eyes shifted, and the person who spoke now was Jiang Yan, the captain of the exploration team.

After all, they had been living with Hill and the others for several months, and they had lived and died together in a harsh and cold place with a harsh environment.

The members of the exploration team also established some revolutionary friendships with them.

After feeling the change in the atmosphere, Jiang Yan stood up immediately.

Then the discovered ores were presented to Luo Ji.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, although there is no way to confirm the originally scheduled resource points, our exploration team discovered some other ores and resource points along the way."

There are so many types of minerals in the world.

And he didn't specialize in this, so he glanced at it casually and didn't see anything.

After directly signaling to the guards beside him, these ores were sent to the Ore Research Institute for research.

Luo Ji's voice softened slightly.

"Thank you for your hard work on this trip..."

While speaking, he directly gave a generous reward to Hill, Harold, and other members of the exploration team.

Although this trip was full of bad news, the information was valuable.

He has never been stingy in matters like this.

As for the construction of the city, Luo Ji didn't talk about it, and Hill and the others didn't mention it either.

Because strictly speaking, their mission was a failure.

Since it is a failure, there is no reason to get the promised reward.
Chapter completed!
