Ji Hao left the Forest of Tranquility, and at the same time shook off the pursuit of more than a dozen descending Holy Spirits.

On the grasslands outside the forest, there are a large number of indigenous settlements of the wood tribe and the water tribe, and their civilization level is much stronger than that of the indigenous tribes in the jungle. When the aborigines in the jungle were still living a primitive life of watching the sky and eating, the natives on the grassland had opened up a large amount of farmland and developed an agricultural civilization.

Stable food income and fertile land that cannot be taken away have allowed the indigenous people on the grassland to establish a fixed place of residence.

Ji Hao walked all the way and explored all the way, and the natives on these grasslands already had the rudiments of a state, forming a power structure similar to that of the urban federation. Each settlement has formed its own army, and the specialized army gives them an advantage when fighting the clans of the jungle.

The advent of specialized armies also made the fighting between these settlements bloodier and more fatal. At the same time, their ordnance was stronger, their workmanship more sophisticated, and their forging techniques more sophisticated.

Along the way, Ji Hao secretly infiltrated the forging workshops of hundreds of city-states, and secretly learned the forging secrets of many natives.

The 'natural growth technique' of the wood tribe, the 'wave hammering technique' of the water tribe, these unique and unique forging secret techniques are very interesting, and the forged weapons and armor have their own advantages.

In the middle, the natural growth technique of the wood clan is the most wonderful, and it actually has a bit of the charm of heaven and earth creation in it. In these city-states of the Wood Clan, the top weapons and armor are naturally grown by various plants, and in the process of growth, the refiners of the Wood Clan continue to engrave various rune formations on the plant fruits, which can give birth to powerful weapons and armor.

Ji Hao stole the natural growth technique and stole a large number of plant seeds. He was ready to return to the big world. Planting these seeds in Yaoshan Ling, with the secret method of refining weapons he learned from Bao, he doesn't know what strange things can grow.

On the grassland, Ji Hao also met a number of Holy Spirit Emissaries, who were running back and forth on the grassland like burning their buttocks, busy spreading the news of the arrival of the 'Evil Demons from Outside the Sky' in all directions. The leaders of all the city-states were ordered to gather their armies and stand by for battle.

But the atmosphere of this world is restless and warlike, and the leaders of the city-states on the steppe, apparently not as simple as the tribal elders in the Forest of Tranquility, have just sent the Holy Spirit Messengers out of their gates on the front foot, and continue to gather armies to fight their rivals on the back foot.

Even because of the arrival of the 'Demons from Beyond the Heavens', the leaders of these city-states have found a better excuse to cover up their killing. All the casualties were deducted from the head of the 'Outer Demons', and the large and small city-states on the grassland became more and more fiercely fighting.

They fought lively, and Ji Hao took advantage of the chaos.

Not only did he steal the cultivation secrets, forging secrets, and other civilization crystals of these large and small city-states on the grassland, but he also sneaked into the warehouses of many city-states. I don't know how much they stole from the rare materials they hoarded, including those precious demon pills.

Specifically how much these things are worth, Ji Hao was a little numb in the end.

But he estimated that for the demon pills he stole, if they were exchanged for jade coins in Pusaka, it was estimated that he would be able to buy two more pieces of land under Yaobo.

In a new world, the benefits of 'clearing wasteland' and 'treasure hunting' are really terrible.

After walking slowly for more than a month, Ji Hao left the endless grassland.

Over here. Ji Hao saw the city for the first time. Cast from boulders and molten iron, it has a variety of castle defenses. The streets in the city are scattered like a chessboard, and the farmland outside the city is criss-crossed.

The scale of the city here cannot be compared with Yaoshan City, and some places still look very rudimentary, but the appearance of the city, there is a wide road between the city and the city, and there are caravans on the road. This means a solid system of governance.

After Ji Hao passed by a few cities, he secretly grabbed a few prisoners and tortured them, and sure enough, the concept of a country had appeared here.

In this vast land, different from the city-state system on the grassland, there are several large ethnic groups such as the wood tribe, the water tribe, the fire tribe, the earth tribe, and the Jin tribe. Hundreds of countries, large and small, have been established.

These countries have a population of more than 10 billion, and a small population of about 1 billion, and under the impetus of the Holy Spirit enshrined behind them, these countries continue to fight each other, and basically every day wars break out, and hundreds of countries do not stop for a day.

The state system has advanced a lot compared to the city-state, and the solid state system has made the power of various ethnic groups more concentrated, and the level of development of civilization has been higher. In other words, the armies of these countries have sharper weapons, more lethality, stronger armor, and stronger defenses.

Ji Hao saw some strangely shaped large ordnance, and the power of some extra-large war equipment made Ji Hao's scalp tingle.

Unlike the natives in the grasslands and forests, they only have occasional Holy Spirit descending there, but in the capitals of these large and small countries, the Holy Spirit sits all year round. Especially in the top few powerful countries with a population of more than 10 billion, their kings are simply the Holy Spirit.

Ji Hao didn't notice this at first, he sneaked into the treasury of a big country and wanted to take the sheep by the hand, but he was beaten by the king of the country with several important ministers, and Ji Hao was so embarrassed that he got rid of the other party's pursuit.

All kinds of rare things in the other party's treasury are piled up, Ji Hao just took three boxes of extremely high-quality demon pills and was discovered, and then it was a mess, Ji Hao couldn't let go of this breath, and he had been hanging around outside the other party's national capital for the past few days, thinking about finding an opportunity to empty the other party's treasury.

To Ji Hao's surprise, his night break into the country's treasury was said by the monarch of this country to be done by a certain important minister of a neighboring country. After the two countries exchanged official documents and engaged in a war of words, tens of millions of troops were mobilized on the border of the two countries at the same time, and a national war began vigorously.

On the front that stretched for nearly 10,000 miles, more than 10 million troops were deployed on both sides, and conflicts of all sizes broke out continuously.

Within a few days, after a period of tentative attacks between the two countries, a full-scale war finally broke out.

Ji Hao hid in a big mountain on the border between the two countries, and watched in horror as the soldiers on both sides strangled each other like mad ants. On one side of the Tu tribe and on the other side of the Jin tribe, all kinds of powerful ordnance were sent to the battlefield, and tens of thousands of soldiers were beaten to pieces every day.

Five days after the outbreak of the war, Ji Hao finally discovered something wrong on the battlefield. (To be continued.) )
