Nan Ran, an overworked professional, finally got a chance for a vacation, but while touring Huangshan, she missed her footing and fell into a ravine. When she woke up again, she had become Nan Ran,...
Chapter 291: Man-eating Green-tailed Rabbit
In just a few days, the name of Baishou Peak became famous in the outer sect.
Even the inner sect disciples came here after hearing the news, just to grab the mission.
The outer disciples did not dare to compete with the inner disciples in terms of strength or status.
It is inevitable that complaints will arise.
But I dare not say it out loud.
After hearing this, Nan Ran simply divided the tasks into two types.
One type is not limited to inner or outer gates, and anyone who is capable can take it.
The other type is tasks that only outer disciples are allowed to take.
The sect contribution point rewards given for both tasks are the same.
At this point, the name Nan Ran once again resounded throughout the outer sect.
Like thunder in one's ears.
But in the past, Nan Ran's name was talked about a lot because she was a waste. She even had to go through the back door to become a registered disciple, relying on her identity as the daughter of the previous sect leader.
Later it was because of the contract with the Flame Lion.
Contracting a Fiery Lion might not be something that people would talk about often.
But it is quite surprising that a useless cultivator who barely reached the Qi Refining Stage could actually contract a high-level demon beast, the Flame Lion.
But in the past, these rumors were nothing more than curiosity or even ridicule.
But it’s different now.
In the eyes of all the disciples, Nan Ran is now a kind-hearted person.
Many disciples who were struggling to complete their tasks and save enough money to pay for the registration fees for the assessment went to the Hundred Beasts Peak and earned enough money to pay for the assessment.
Ten days later, the monster cages at the Hundred Beasts Peak were roughly completed. According to the different living habits of various monsters, they were roughly divided into herbivorous area, carnivorous area, reptile area, amphibious area, and desert area.
In addition to the breeding tasks arranged by the top leaders of the Beast Taming Sect, Nan Ran also added several more kinds of monsters to feed.
At the same time, he sorted out the remaining types of monsters on the Hundred Beasts Peak.
After a period of isolation and observation, and confirming that there were no problems, they were placed in their respective suitable cages.
Nan Ran raises some monsters together.
For example, she designed the herbivorous area to be very large, occupying almost one-fifth of the area of the Beast Peak.
Not only did she lay a large area of grass inside and sprinkle a lot of low-level spiritual grass seeds, she also sprinkled some low-level fragrant bamboo rice.
Some spiritual fruit saplings were also transplanted among them.
There is also a stream drained in the middle.
The living environment of herbivorous monsters is simulated and restored as much as possible.
Before putting the monster in, the formation was deliberately opened for two days, allowing some small insects and birds outside to fly in unscrupulously and become part of maintaining the ecological balance of the herbivorous area cage.
A small number of small reptile monsters that feed on birds and insects were placed in the herbivorous area.
The monsters in the herbivorous area have a large area and will not cause too many disputes during the non-estrus period, so they are suitable for mixed breeding.
The monsters in the carnivorous area are no match for them.
Nanran raised them separately according to their race.
Fortunately, most of these monster cubs are used to enlighten the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.
Most of the monsters are herbivorous and docile. Apart from the mud horse, there are only two wood-toothed tigers and one golden wind leopard among the carnivorous monsters.
This was something an inner disciple had caught on the way after accepting the mission, so he asked her if she wanted it.
She thought about it and felt that it would be okay to collect it, just as a contribution to biodiversity.
It just so happened that the golden wind leopard gave birth to a cub!
Another carnivorous monster is the golden-tailed fang wolf.
After rescuing the female golden-tailed fang wolf from Cai Dong that day, Nan Ran originally wanted to let her return to the Water Demon Forest.
She had no intention of signing a contract.
But this big wolf is really stubborn and sticks to his own way.
I was originally worried about how to deal with the balance.
After all, Big Cat was already very unhappy when she contracted Frostmon.
Later, he also contracted the little fat bug, the blue firefly queen bee, and the mountain stone beast...
Big Cat doesn't want to pay any attention to her now.
He no longer clings to her softly, rubs against her, and calls her "human! Human~human!" in a soft voice like before.
Nan Ran still felt a little lost.
Before, she really didn't realize how much she liked Big Cat's clinginess...
On the contrary, she might prefer Mimi, who is sensible and well-behaved, but not overly dependent on her.
Now that the noisy "people~people~people~" is gone from her ears, she feels empty instead.
turn out to be……
Companionship is a reaction that is really difficult to quit.
If you are used to living alone, and a lively and playful little person suddenly appears in your life, breaking your original living habits again and again, although you will feel annoyed at first... but if you don’t indulge and like the other person in your heart, how can you allow the other person to break your bottom line again and again and affect your living habits?
He was kicked out long ago.
Having so many monsters is really troublesome!
Nan Ran had not yet contracted a female golden-tailed fang wolf. He had only built one for it when he was constructing a cage for carnivorous monsters. He also tried to simulate the environment in which the wolf pack was discovered as much as possible and assigned a task to have people catch many blue-tailed rabbits and put them in the cage.
Green-tailed rabbits can eat the grass in the cage. Female golden-tailed fang wolves and other carnivorous monsters can catch green-tailed rabbits and eat them.
It can be considered a kind of ecological balance.
The main reason for choosing the blue-tailed rabbit as the main feeding ingredient for carnivorous monsters is that this monster is not very intelligent and cannot practice cultivation, but its meat is delicious, and it has been eating spiritual grass for a long time, so its body contains extremely pure spiritual energy.
It is the main source of meat that everyone likes on the Continent of Ten Thousand Beasts.
and--
This type of blue-tailed rabbit reproduces very quickly!
Not only female rabbits can give birth, male rabbits can give birth too!
But this kind of rabbit is indeed not hermaphroditic, and the female rabbit and the male rabbit need to mate on their own before they can give birth to offspring.
Nan Ran speculated that the reproduction method of this type of rabbit should be pregnancy with no fixed sex. That is, after the female rabbit and the male rabbit mate, the female rabbit may become pregnant and give birth, or the male rabbit may become pregnant and give birth. It is a completely random and uncertain pattern.
In short, it's magical.
but……
This is already the era of animal mutation and monsters, so anything that happens is not surprising.
The reproduction cycle of the blue-tailed rabbit is very short. The estrus period is only two or three days. It is basically guaranteed to be pregnant every time. Once pregnant, it can give birth to at least twenty cubs in fifteen days.
The most important thing is!!!
Green-tailed rabbit cubs will become adults in one month!
Adulthood means reproduction.
And the reproduction time is not affected by the season. It grows in spring, summer, autumn, winter... and keeps on growing!
As a result, the blue-tailed rabbits in the Continent of Ten Thousand Beasts are more rampant than Australian kangaroos.
There is an old saying that goes, "Even a rabbit bites when it's anxious."
Although this kind of green-tailed rabbit feeds on spiritual green grass, if it lacks natural enemies and lives in large groups and reproduces, a hundred acres of grassland can be turned into wasteland in an instant!
After eating all the spiritual grass, they will not gnaw on tree bark or eat spiritual fruits, and they will not even eat crops grown by humans. Instead, they will directly attack human towns and eat living people!
Once upon a time, there was a small town with a not very large population. There were blue-tailed rabbits roaming nearby. Everyone thought these creatures were cute little creatures that ate spiritual green grass, and no one took them seriously. Until one day, the green grassland nearby turned into a wasteland!
Everyone was shocked. Before they could figure out what was happening, they were attacked by a large army of green-tailed rabbits that night. The entire village was eaten beyond recognition!
Normally, rabbits that feed on spiritual grass are not harmful, and even if they bite people, it doesn't hurt much.
But if you are bitten by this kind of blue-tailed rabbit that has eaten humans, even if you don’t die at the time, you will suffer from poisoning later until your internal organs turn into blood and water, and then you will die completely.
As the incidents of blue-tailed rabbits eating people spread, more and more human villages were attacked. After many high-level officials of the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent discussed together, they decided to hunt and kill the blue-tailed rabbits.
Nowadays, although there are occasional outbreaks of blue-tailed rabbits, they rarely occur on a large scale.
Nan Ran chose to use blue-tailed rabbits as the staple food of the carnivorous monsters in Baishou Peak, which can be regarded as a small contribution to combating the rampant blue-tailed rabbit infestation.
In addition...
Although this kind of blue-tailed rabbit is prone to becoming a pest, its meat is indeed delicious!
It also contains very pure spiritual energy, making it very suitable as the main meat source for feeding.
