Chapter 108 Cute and Powerful
"The food business at the port is indeed doing well. On the one hand, the long flow of water is the most appropriate thing for the clansmen to go out to practice, get in touch with more people, and know what the outside world is like." Xiao Yun stroked his chin. Said, "How about this, the people going to the port will go in rotation, the first batch will let Ah Shu and Mumu join forces, the people from the cafeteria will take two to go, and then arrange two helpers, six people, they can take care of each other. Yes, and you can take a look at our warehouse by the way."
"Isn't there not enough people in the cafeteria now? The staff of the Welfare Department has already been taken away." Hongye said.
"It's enough to take people away this time and let them go in again. Adults and cubs are not needed. Well, we can arrange more, use the cafeteria as a cook training center, and get a batch of reserve cooks first..." Xiao Yun Squinting my eyes, "I didn't think about this before, but now that I think about it, our food business should be promoted as a chain store where we can deliver ingredients. Even if it's not for making money, we can learn more about the outside world and let the outside world Understand our way, so that we don’t bury our heads in development here, but turn a blind eye to the outside world, and we are the last to know what’s going on, which is inappropriate.”
"Uh..." Even for Hongye, it is still a bit difficult to keep up with Xiao Yun's train of thought.
"I'll think about this matter later, and write a plan first. Now our priority is to go to the middle of the grassland." Xiao Yun didn't force Hongye to understand immediately, so he changed the topic back first, "This If the warrior team is not separated this time, I will arrange some more people for you to expand the team to 50 people, and you patriarchs will also bring a few..."
On the grassland with inconvenient transportation, it takes a month to do anything across regions. If you don’t bring cattle and sheep lightly, you rush from the southwest border where the tribe is located to the middle of the grassland. No matter how fast you rush, you have to walk In the month, take the cattle and sheep and walk slowly, then you can count the year.In other words, if you want to gather all the snow wolf tribes in the middle of the grassland to the southwest, it will take two or three years.
Don't be impatient about this kind of thing, besides, it's not bad, people coming in a swarm will cause trouble, instead of coming in batches, it will give Xiao Yun a buffer time to accept and arrange, so that he can go there more easily. Digest and absorb new labor force.
After chatting with Hongye, Xiao Yun turned his head and went to draw the manpower for the warrior team. The first thing to consider was the leader of the team.
The identity of the patriarch is more or less gold, at least when talking to outsiders, the credibility is much higher than that of ordinary clansmen or even cubs.It stands to reason that patriarch Huoyan is the most suitable candidate, but... Huoyan is really too dull and old-fashioned, it's okay to fool people by his appearance, and it's just thinking too much to rely on him to persuade others.
Since Huoyan patriarch is unreliable, then we can only work hard for the grassroots patriarch... The employees she brought out in the past few years have no problem staying in the earthworm farm, and the age of more than 70 years old is indeed considered "" in the snow wolf clan. "Shouxing", when you go out to that stop, you will feel safe and trustworthy.
In addition to the grassroots patriarch, several newcomers including the Li patriarch can also be arranged to follow. They may not have the "card face" as the grassroots patriarch, but it is the Huoyan tribe's "Snow Wolf Clan Settlement Plan" after all. Those who have experienced it are more convincing.
Xiao Yun selected the candidates here, and Tou Yu also brought back the supplies exchanged with St. Bridge with a large army.Xiao Yun didn't pick the time, so he called people together for a working meeting that night, and asked everyone to participate in the discussion on the composition and route of the "Trade Goodwill Transport Team". In principle, it took a whole day to pack and pack the next day, and on the morning of the third day, when Ashu and Mumu rushed to the Elf Port with their two cubs, two adult clan members, and two cat clan warriors, the transport team was also ready to go .
"Through this journey, everyone must discuss with their own people what happens, and avoid the eyes and ears of the Tiger Clan as much as possible. The Cat Clan tribe with unknown stances can detour as long as they can... It is natural that a tribe is willing to come and be a family with us. Well, if you don't want to, don't force it, and don't treat any tribe or tribe with a coercive attitude..."
"Don't worry, Ayun, the grassroots patriarch is watching, no one will mess around." Hongye smiled, "And Maomao, if someone's tone is wrong when we talk to someone, Maomao will come over immediately and take him away."
The soldiers all laughed. As the leader of the warrior team, Yu didn't know how to swear at others. His way of resolving disputes was to take one of them away. Although this method was stupid, it was very effective.
"I'll take good care of everyone, even if I'm low on energy, Patriarch Li and the others will watch over me." The grassroots patriarch touched Xiao Yun's head kindly, "I'll leave the family to you, Ayun, we've walked so far People, when you are busy, you don’t have enough people, so don’t worry about getting angry. When it’s time to let everyone sleep, you still have to let everyone go...(,,′ω)ノ"(′--`)"
"Pfft ha ha ha ha ha --" more than 50 members of the transportation team burst into laughter, and the clansmen who came to see them off couldn't help laughing.
"How can I? I'm not a devil." Xiao Yun moved his head away in embarrassment, "By the way, learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will fall back. Don't forget to review arithmetic formulas at any time when you are away, read and write words, and make sentences. Falling down, strive for everyone to recite or write more than three short stories by heart when they come back, and I will investigate later.”
"You are so ashamed to say that you are not a devil!" Hong Ye pointed at Xiao Yun angrily, expressing her heart on behalf of everyone.
The clansmen seeing off laughed even louder.
Sending away about sixty people at once, the tribe suddenly became quiet...it's strange.
The alfalfa planted on both sides of the river should be harvested, and there are more than 8000 mu of alfalfa.The engineering team led by Lan Guo and Ah Yue was busy with water conservancy projects and couldn't move, so they went to the labor force of No. [-]. The rest of the people had to take care of their own jobs besides participating in the alfalfa harvest. die……
After everyone exhaustedly took back the alfalfa in the field, Xiao Yun pointed out that the existing scale of animal husbandry could not digest the alfalfa produced. In order to avoid the waste of alfalfa, it was necessary to increase the breed of alfalfa—what kind of biological breeding on the northern grasslands? Grass meat has the highest conversion rate, is easy to get seeds, and is easy to domesticate?No need to guess, it must be a gray rabbit.
So two rows of rabbit farms with concrete pavement were added behind the pig farm. The snow wolf clan and cat clan warriors who stayed behind to watch the house chased the rabbits to dig holes on the grassland like dogs, and caught thousands of rabbits and came back to feed them. Male and female caged in separate pens (rattan cages) for captivity...
"This gray rabbit is not enough, everyone keep working hard!"
Xiao Yun drove the soldiers out again to hunt down the rabbits, and selected a group of people from the second-level labor force in Qingyan who had begun to become tense to study how to feed the rabbits that would die at every turn...
Rabbits estrus all year round and give birth all year round. If there are no natural enemies, rabbits can dominate the grassland by reproduction alone, and they only need fresh alfalfa or vegetable leaves for feeding, which is very valuable for breeding.But this thing is indeed not something that can be fed casually. It will die if it is scared, or it will die if it is infected with some minor disease, and it will die if there is too much water on the fresh alfalfa or vegetable leaves. It is really no better than feeding pigs. Fewer hands are needed.
But this thing breeds fast, and it can produce a litter in an average of three months. There are six to ten cubs in one litter. The cubs can be slaughtered and put on a plate in about five months.
When Ashu and Mumu arrived at the elf port with their clansmen, St. Bridge's fleet had already returned. Except for the elves and vassal races, there were only about [-] adventurers from the grasslands in the port. The food market was a source of tourists. decrease very much.
Of course, it is cost-effective even if you only do business for adventurers. After negotiating with Helene, who is friendly with the Snow Wolf Clan, and General Kleist, the industrious Snow Wolf Clan and the Cat Clan converted the rented wooden house into a shop, and the signs are also No hanging, no store name, just open the door, set up a few sets of tables and chairs borrowed by the elves, and open the door for business.
The four of Isaac and his party stayed on the grassland for five days, chasing the traces left by a Thunderclawed Thunderlizard to find the small monster's lair hidden in a dense forest, and happily ransacked his home.
"Tsk tsk, what an awesome thunder lizard skin, enough to make two high-grade leather armors, how much will it cost?" the dwarf Arnold stroked the freshly peeled thunder lizard skin with bright eyes, stubby with excitement Fingers are shaking.
"Not only that, don't forget the skin of the limbs and abdomen, the soft skin alchemists will like it." The orc Malkin grinned, "It's a pity that there are no Thunderlizard eggs, so they can be sold A lot of money."
"Okay, guys, pack up the booty, we have to go back to the port for supplies. Everyone is exhausted and have to rest for two days." Isaac washed the long sword in a nearby puddle and walked back with a smile , "Alex, break down the Thunder Lizard's four-legged claws. These four claws can make twelve small knives. Aren't you short of throwing weapons?"
Alex nodded, drew his dagger and disintegrated the claws.
Thieves, assassins, treasure hunters, or rangers who like to bring walkers in the adventurer team are for this reason... dismantling or setting traps, and disassembling prey are the housekeeping skills of walkers.
After decomposing all the valuable parts of the four-meter-long thunder lizard, and taking away the non-poisonous limbs, a group of four happily set off on their way home.
"It's good to take risks in new places. You can find valuable prey casually. If you are in those adventure resorts in the Southern Continent, you won't see such a big guy as the Thunderclaw Thunderlizard for a month." Arnold is about his height Its four lizard legs don't feel tired at all, and it still bounces when walking.
Malken nodded again and again, the overly long lizard skin was carried on his shoulders, and he touched the rough skin as if he was touching his lover's skin.
"Don't just see the benefits, it's very dangerous to explore new lands that haven't been explored before." Isaac smiled, "Let's not talk about a small team like ours, a large group of dozens of people like Theodore and the others is also very dangerous." Don’t dare to go deep into the grassland. Remember the roar we heard two nights ago? It was at least the scream of a third-level monster. I don’t know what killed that monster... Fortunately, we are at a disadvantage , Hearing the movement, he moved overnight, otherwise maybe except Alex, the rest of us would not be able to escape."
"This...it is indeed true. I have never heard of three-level monsters wandering around in the adventure resorts of the Southern Continent." Arnold still had lingering fears when he thought of that incident, "It's really lucky that the Snow Wolf Clan can survive in the cursed land, those big guys It looks stupid and clumsy, and it's not simple."
When he heard about the snow wolves, Alex's face was a bit ugly. He was tied up by Isaac to spend the night of being obsessed with ghosts. Now, after many days, Alex still couldn't help being afraid when he thought of it... What did he think at that time? What kind of monster is so contemptuous of the snow wolves who can survive in the cursed land?Even without the conspiracy of the association and the calculations of the forest elves, are the dozens of people who gathered temporarily really the opponents of the more than 30 snow wolf clan fighters?
After staying in the wild for another night, at dawn, the group finally saw the Elven Port.
"Hi, Isaac!"
"Theodore? What a coincidence, are you coming back at this time too?" Isaac was surprised.
"Haha, yes, I thought it would take more time, but I didn't expect to meet the Chimera of the Earth just a few days after I set off."
The dark-skinned Captain Theodore laughed happily, pointing his thumbs behind him. Isaac and the others followed his gestures, and Qiqi gasped——A member of Theodore's team A crude wooden trailer that was temporarily made with wood pulled two monsters the size of a bison, with a lion's head, a sheep's body, a snake's tail, and short bat wings on both sides of the back.
"You caught both ends? Are you still alive?" Isaac saw Chimera's bat wings twitching slightly, and his eyeballs almost fell out of shock.
Theodore laughed again, not without complacency: "Yes, it's still a pair, and the smaller one is the female beast!"
The four of Isaac silently moved out of the way and let the large troops go first... This is also an unwritten rule among adventurers. For the return team at the same time, the side with the higher value of the prey will have the priority.
"Live Chimeras are still a pair. Even if they can't be tamed by themselves, it will cost a lot of money to sell them to the trainer..." Arnold envied, "If the mother beast gives birth to Chimera cubs, Are the knights going crazy?"
After hearing this, Isaac felt a little yearning. The pursuit of knights must be faster and more powerful mounts. Tamable monsters such as dragon blood horses and chimeras are good things that can make all mainland knights enthralled. It's a pity that the appearance of this kind of magical beast's cubs in the market will cause hundreds of people to snap up them, and there is no chance for a small team leader like him.
"Did you catch the Thunderclawed Thunderlizard? That's not bad, it's a valuable prey." Captain Theodore waved his hand to let the person pulling the shuttle go ahead, and turned his head to cast a smug look at Isaac, haha Laughing and following his team.
"This guy still likes to compete with you so much, Isaac." When Theodore's people walked a little further, Arnold leaned over to Isaac and whispered, "You qualified for the silver medal before him, this The guy who looks at Dadu is actually quite narrow-minded doesn't know how much he holds grudges."
Isaac smiled, patted Arnold on the shoulder, and walked towards the Elven Port.
Theodore's team captured two live Chimeras, and many adventurers gathered to watch as soon as they entered the port.Isaac and the others walked in from a distance, and saw a group of people watching from a distance, and Theodore's distinctive laughter could be heard far away.
"That guy is really flamboyant, let's go around, I don't want to hear him continue to boast." Arnold muttered.
"Then let's take the alley here." Isaac has a good temper, but he is not willing to give someone a slap in the face. In case Theodore passes along the main road, it is not good for him to be ignorant. .
The port built by the elf is particular about the patchwork pattern. Although it is small in scale, it can barely be regarded as a miniature town. As soon as Isaac and the others got into the alley, they collided with the two snow werewolves who were walking towards them.
Isaac, one of the two snow werewolves, knew each other and greeted with a smile: "Hello, Mumu, have you come back to open the shop?"
"You are... well, yes, Isaac." Mumu thought for a while before remembering the name of this human being, and said with a smile, "It's open, it's just east of the port where we live, near the beach. By the way, come to eat noodles later?"
"I'm definitely coming. Don't worry about you while you're away." Isaac joked, "I don't think you've seen this one before?"
"Yeah, Ah Shu just came. Ah Shu, this is the one who eats our fans." Mu Mu introduced from the side.
Ah Shu smiled honestly, he was a bit shy, not as familiar as Mu Mu.
Isaac saw that Ah Shu was quite shy, and he didn't try to deal with him forcefully, so he smiled and said, "We're going back to the hotel first, and we'll come to ask you for something to eat in a while."
"Hahaha, you have to pay!" Mu Mu smiled and stepped aside, this alley is very narrow, the two snow werewolves stand side by side, no one can squeeze through.
People on both sides passed by, and Alex, who was walking at the back, was unnaturally peeking out of the corner of his eye at the snow werewolf's more intimidating physique, when there were suddenly chaotic screams from the street behind.
The four humans turned their heads together, and Mumu and Ashu also raised their heads and looked straight ahead in amazement, only to hear a strange cry of "Ah--", an orc adventurer flew upside down and passed by the entrance of the alley, and then It was the sound of a wooden wall being smashed and timber breaking.
"problem occurs?"
Mu Mu and A Li immediately rushed out of the alley, and at the same time turned their heads to look to the right, and saw two earth chimeras attacking the crowd frantically, and several adventurers with greatly changed expressions were fleeing in their direction.
"Which bastard cut the rope on purpose?!"
"All those who are not warrior knights, stay away, don't dawdle!"
"Theodore, what's the matter with you! Don't you look good on this kind of monster?!"
"Convex(艹盘哉)! Don't let me find out who did it!!"
"Stop running! Come back and surround them!"
"...Too flamboyant will definitely cause trouble!" The four of Isaac backed up and saw the situation. Isaac sighed in a low voice, pushed Alex, who was not good at fighting head-on, back into the alley, and untied himself. The rucksack wanted to step forward to help.
Before Isaac pushed through the scattered crowd and rushed to the center of the chaos, his eyes began to straighten...
The two snow werewolves knocked away the adventurers who were blocking the way, rushed to the two crazy earth chimeras, swooped forward and overwhelmed the chimera on the left, raised their legs and sat on its shoulders, and grabbed the lion with its arms. The first one, the Chimera that had just blown the two of them into the air, couldn't move immediately; the other went up and held down the head of the roaring female lion on the right with one hand, and pressed the big head of the female beast hard with his arms. When it reached the ground, with a "click", the mother animal's teeth were almost broken, and then raised her foot to step on the lumbar spine of the sheep's body. The strong Chimera immediately became as docile as a kitten, and could not even growl.
Isaac's jaw dropped to the ground on the spot.
Theodore, who was struggling to gather the members who had been scattered by the crowd to surround the Chimera, cursed in his throat.
Soldiers and knights gathered around: "...( ̄△ ̄;)??"
Mumu was surprised how the surroundings became quiet all of a sudden, looked up at the crowd suspiciously, raised his other fist, his arm muscles soared, and was about to hammer the monster to death.
"Don't, wait!!" Theodore came back to his senses and screamed immediately, "Don't kill, don't kill!"
"Ah?" Mumu's fist was halfway down, and she quickly stopped, looking over in a particularly puzzled manner.
"This is an important commodity. It needs to be lived. Uh...thanks to the friends of the Snow Wolf Clan for their help. I will leave it to us." Theodore wiped off his cold sweat, then turned his head and glared at the stunned group members, "Not yet Hurry up and tie up the Chimera!"
A group of members rushed forward as if waking up from a dream, several people worked together to take over the Chimera from Mu Mu and A Shu, and then tied it tightly with strong cables.
"Is the price of a dead monster different from that of a living one..." Mu Mu scratched his scalp in doubt, and walked to A Shu, "A Shu, how are you?"
"It's okay, it's just that I can't use the strength in my hands." Ashu was a little disappointed, he couldn't hold down the Chimera with his hands alone, he had to press his whole body to do it, and the gap was too great.
Theodore was struggling with how to deal with the help of the Snow Wolf Clan. Hearing what A Shu said, he subconsciously pressed the pinna of his ears. What's the matter, the ears are not flexible?
"Your injury hasn't healed yet, so you're weak, you just need to rest and recuperate." Mu Mu comforted.
This time it wasn't just Theodore, the nearby adventurers and Isaac who had just caught up all showed dull expressions...
"It's okay, let's go - hey, why are you looking at us like this?" Mu Mu asked strangely.
"It's nothing, nothing..." Everyone shook their heads in unison.
Mumu: "??"
"Please wait a moment, both of you. Can you ask me if the snow wolf tribe has any special tricks to deal with monsters like Chimera?" Theodore is indeed the leader of the thick-faced and dark-hearted adventurers. Honest and cute, even this kind of inquisitive words are too shy to ask in public.
"Hey..." Mu Mu and A Shu looked at each other, both of them were at a loss, "No."
"Then how do your snow wolf clan deal with this kind of earth chimera?" Theodore asked eagerly, ignoring the question of eating.
The adventurers in the circle, including Isaac who was a little guilty, all pricked up their ears. Although it is not kind to inquire about other people's secrets, there is no harm in knowing more... Chimeras are worth a lot!
"If you can't catch up, don't worry about them." Mumu took it for granted, "This thing runs so fast, it can't be seen in the blink of an eye, so of course I have to pretend I didn't see it."
"Then, isn't it easy for you to suppress the Chimera?" Theodore was anxious.
"That's because you surrounded them." Mumu looked at Theodore with the eyes of a fool, why did he ask such a stupid question.
Theodore: "...(o words o)"
Adventurers: "..."
A Shu, who was a bit shy, felt uncomfortable being stared at by so many people, so he secretly pulled Mu Mu's clothes: "Mu Mu, let's go."
"Oh, good." Before Mumu left, he didn't forget to solicit business, "We'll go back and open a shop. If you want noodles, bring money."
Watching the two cute and powerful snow werewolves stroll away, the adventurers stopped and watched for a long, long time...
