Chapter 981 A Large Lake

In amazement, several pterosaur riders consulted with each other and quickly flew above the endless water.

One pterosaur rider stayed in the coastal area as a landmark, while the other pterosaur riders each found a direction and flew over the water.

I originally wanted to use this method to see how big this lake is.

After flying for a while, they found that they still couldn't see the end, which forced the pterosaur riders to be cautious.

There is not even a decent reference point on this lake. If they fly too far and can't see the road signs on the shore, they might get lost if they are not careful.

The pterosaur riders obviously did not intend to take this risk at this moment.

Long before the operation was launched, they had already sent someone back to report the situation.

The pterosaur riders who stayed here at the moment were also exploring the area.

After climbing over that hill, the coastal area here is basically flat, with no obstacles at all, and all the scenery is in full view.

After a simple reconnaissance, several pterosaur riders in the air exchanged some ideas.

Two more pterosaur riders were assigned to land and conduct ground reconnaissance, while the remaining pterosaur riders continued to maintain air alert to ensure safety.

When their feet landed on the ground, the two pterosaur riders were surprised by the soft sand and subconsciously reached out to grab a handful of sand.

The moment they touched it, the scorching touch made them let go quickly, but even so, they clearly felt that the sand was incredibly fine and not at all as rough as they had imagined.

At the same time, before they got close to the lake, they smelled a distinct strange odor from the wind blowing in their faces.

This discovery made the two pterosaur riders frown.

"Let's go and take a look."

As they talked, they moved closer to the lake.

The lizardmen had a very keen sense of smell, and as the distance got closer, they could clearly feel the odor becoming stronger and stronger.

They scooped up a handful of lake water, which was extremely clear and looked fine. However, the smell it emitted made the two lizardmen doubt the water quality.

One of the pterosaur riders hesitated, dipped his finger in it, and put it into his mouth.

The next second, his expression changed.

"Bah! Why is this water so bitter and salty?!"

The pterosaur rider beside him was slightly stunned, then said thoughtfully...

"I heard that there is a lake in Black Moon City. The water there is also salty. It is called the Salt Lake. The salt we eat every day is extracted from the lake water."

"You mean, this is a saltwater lake? Then we have done something meritorious?"

"Maybe? Salt isn't worth much."

The news here was quickly passed back to the camp, but it took a lot of time for the ground troops to arrive.

Although the mountain is not big, it will obviously take some time to climb over it or go around it.

Under this premise, they are now busy cleaning up the ruins in the city and improving internal security on the one hand, and on the other hand they are searching for the remaining ratmen. For the time being, they really cannot spare the time to go over there to confirm the situation.

Just as Soros was struggling with this, another pterosaur rider flew back with the latest news.

"Saltwater lake?"

After listening to the report, Soros frowned slightly.

Judging from the situation, the salt lake is indeed a salt-producing resource point, but the salt production in their Great Zhou is stable, and there is no shortage of salt at all.

Apart from this saltwater lake, there seemed to be nothing else nearby. This information allowed Soros to quickly make a decision in his mind.

"How about this, leave that side alone for now and focus on hunting down the remaining ratmen. I will write a report later and report the situation here to His Majesty."

Obviously, in Soros's view, a saltwater lake alone is relatively unimportant.

After all, the lake is so big that it won't disappear out of thin air. They can just deal with the things at hand first and then slowly move on.

Time passed quietly as the Lizardman troops were busy conducting a carpet search.

At the port of Black Moon City, a large ship slowly approached.

The people of Black Moon City have long been accustomed to such scenes, and now they don't even give them a second glance.

After the ship docked, a burly man walked down the ship slowly, leading a handsome black horse.

"General Jie!"

Knowing that the ship that Xie Liancheng was on would arrive in Black Moon City today, Zhou Xu had already sent an elf knight to pick him up.

Originally, Zhou Xu wanted to bring the person in in a low-key manner.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

He is a person who usually has a purpose when he shows off, and usually prefers to keep a low profile and save trouble.

However, the existence of the Elf Knight itself is not low-key.

But there was no way around it. The main reason was that in Black Moon City, there were very few people who had seen Jie Liancheng and knew what he looked like, and even fewer who were free.

Clicking here and there, only the Elf Knight can be sent.

Jie Liancheng couldn’t say that he could remember every elven knight around Zhou Xu, but the grassland elves were easily recognizable, which allowed them to successfully complete the meeting.

"Your Majesty is waiting for you. Please follow me."

As they were talking, the two men mounted their horses and headed along the main road towards Black Moon City.

This was Xie Liancheng's first time in Black Moon City. Before he even entered the city, he looked left and right along the way, his face already filled with admiration.

Compared with the cities in the New North District and even the New South District, the Black Moon City is truly surrounded by mountains and rivers, giving it the feel of a Jiangnan water town.

Just based on this environment, people will feel better just by living here.

[I will definitely talk to Hongxu later and ask him to bring Aju and Qihu over.]

Before, he thought that Zhou Xu was going to develop Xianyang City as the capital, so there was nothing wrong with his wife and children staying in the capital to enjoy a good life.

Who would have thought that it was not the case at all.

This Black Moon City is the real capital of the Great Zhou.

At just one glance, before even entering the city, Xie Liancheng already outshined Xianyang City.

After entering the city, looking at the spacious and clean central avenue, the gap was widened even more.

A small detail can reveal a big picture. Although what lies before him is only a central avenue, it can be seen from this road alone that the level of development of this city is definitely not low.

When traveling through Black Moon City, the identity of an Elf Knight is more useful than anything else. Led by an Elf Knight, the two had a smooth journey and soon crossed the central avenue into the palace.

"General, please rest in the side hall for a while. His Majesty will be here soon."

While waiting for Jie Liancheng, a front-line war report was delivered.

Considering the possibility of any new circumstances, Zhou Xu naturally gave priority to dealing with the important matters and let Jie Liancheng rest in the side hall first.
