Duan respectfully accepted the task, then jogged toward the front.
Cao Xing then said to the Crystalfolk, "Next, wait for Duan to finish building the houses. In the meantime, you can look around the territory."
"Alright, my lord..."
Before long, they followed Duan over.
Although these Crystalfolk had hands and feet and should theoretically have been able to work,
their body structure was simply too unusual.
If they suffered any damage or bumps while working, or if one of them shattered outright, that would be a devastating loss!
After all, he had spent over a hundred million Kroner to buy these Crystalfolk. He was counting on them to produce more crystal and bring profits to the territory.
After arranging for the Crystalfolk,
a series of hoofbeats sounded beside him.
Saint Harati had returned with a group of Centaurs.
Yesterday afternoon, Halati had been sent by Cao Xing to scout the area marked by Shining Nova, so she had missed that Legendary Tier battle.
At that moment, seeing the tense atmosphere within the territory and the damaged walls, a grave look appeared in her eyes.
However, when she saw Cao Xing, she visibly relaxed slightly.
She quickly arrived at his side and solemnly reported, "Honored lord, we have investigated the wasteland you mentioned."
"At the center of that wasteland are ruins, and beneath those ruins is a hidden passage leading underground."
"We discovered a large mineral vein below, no smaller in scale than Lampry Grotto. It contains large amounts of Shadowpurple Crystal, Energy Crystal, and more."
"It is an exceptionally resource-rich mineral vein."
After hearing Halati's report, a smile gradually appeared on Cao Xing's face.
Shadowpurple Crystal was an equally important resource to him.
Not only could it be used to upgrade the Arrow Tower enhancement function at the War Research
