Hundreds of meters above the ground, an ugly, crow-like monster bird flew slowly by. On its belly, an eye the size of an egg surveyed the earth from an ultra-wide-angle view, taking in every detail.
This was a detection tool Zhang Yang had created with the Flight Demon Language, used to receive the assets of Black Ox Village.
Originally, he had only planned to take a casual look and be done with it in a single sweep. But this was already the fifth demon-modified monster bird he had sent into the sky. Each one could last half an hour, which meant Zhang Yang had been observing for a full two and a half hours.
"I really didn't expect Black Ox Village to have so many hidden assets. What a pity—when a son sells his grandfather's fields, he doesn't feel the pain! And now they've all become cheap gains for me."
Black Ox Village did not have many fields, no more than two thousand mu in total, but these were no ordinary fields.
They were built on a foundation of bluestone, with layers of red soil, yellow soil, black soil, purple soil, and cyan soil laid on top in succession. Each layer was three meters high, like a cake. The fields had also been cut into three-dimensional sections, with their surroundings sealed in bluestone. Every ten mu formed one large square plot, all perfectly orderly.
Before moving away, the people of Black Ox Village had only harvested the crops growing on top. They had left the fields untouched, perhaps because their storage implements could not hold them.
There were also a few scattered crops that had not been harvested. They were something resembling moss, their leaves clinging tightly to the ground. Each plant could spread its leaves four or five meters
