Chapter 822: Four-Way Passage
Inside the Hall of Diligent Governance, Zhou Xu read the latest report sent by the exploration troops. He blinked twice, then wore an expression that was both amused and exasperated.
Exploring this enormous lake had truly brought him a heaven-sent surprise.
Continuing east from there, the route actually connected to the factory district on the Lizardmen continent.
That area had originally been the Centaur tribe's territory. Later, because the environment was suitable and it was close to a water source, Zhou Xu had developed it as a factory district.
Its position was much the same as Yellow Sand City on the New Continent and Salt Lake City on the Old Continent: a gathering place for various factories, and essentially the production center of that region.
According to the exploration troops' reports, after setting out from the great lake beyond the basin forest and heading east with the current, it took less than two hours to pass through the waterways and reach the freshwater lake on the other side of Dashan.
One had to remember that in the past, even when setting out from Yellow Sand City with only one person aboard a hot-air balloon, reaching the Lizardmen territory had taken nearly a month and a half.
But now, by water, they could board a ship from Green Forest City and reach the place in less than two hours after setting sail. Damn, they were there already!!
If he had known about this shortcut earlier, he should have built large ships sooner and opened up the water route!
Still, that sort of hindsight was only good for grumbling a couple of times.
Before something actually happened, who could know how it would turn out?
Judging from the current situation, Black Moon City was in an excellent location.
