Chapter 230 Collection Completed
Gu Qing glanced at the nest of snake eggs again. "I don't know if my guess is true, but I always feel that these little white flowers must be growing by relying on these snakes, or even high-level venomous snakes."
"I don't know if the lack of higher-level snakes after this nest of snake eggs will affect the growth of these flowers?" Gu Qing didn't want to see him destroy this place. If his guess was true, she would receive a share every year for the next ten years.
"You mean these little white flowers are half-creatures of a high-level snake king?" Zhu Jian pinched his brow.
"I'm just guessing, I can't be completely sure."
"Well, we can't be sure, but we can't be careless either. At the very least, we need to make two preparations before these little white flowers are cultivated."
"If we protect this snake den, the annual output of white flowers will be a significant resource," Liao Wen stated his opinion.
"There must be snakes in those holes in the stone walls. Will these snakes affect the growth of these flowers?" The squad leader observed his surroundings.
"There are snakes, but whether a snake king can emerge is another matter. If there is no snake king, it will affect the future quality of these flowers," the bamboo slip explained to the man.
The others also turned their gaze to the stone wall, where the snakes that occasionally poked their heads out were all young snakes, their patterns quite different from those of the snake king.
Furthermore, the snakes living here are clearly mostly white and of high quality, so they are somewhat hesitant to gamble.
"How come there are so many baby snakes? But there aren't many adult snakes," Gu Qing asked unconsciously.
"There are quite a few adult snakes, but not many high-level ones. It seems that the young snakes have also been selected by the snake king. Those with poor talent have been driven out, while those with better talent are all here."
The nest of snake eggs down there was very likely hatched by the snake king himself, and it's most likely that the snake king's brood will emerge from there.
Lou Xiaoyu explained to him softly.
At this moment, Liao Wen sighed softly, "Look at the baby snakes in that snake pit." The others followed his words and began to observe.
It turns out that these young snakes would occasionally peek out and pluck a white flower to eat.
"Do these snakes use this flower to stave off hunger?" Gu Qing realized this as well.
"Can't you look at the bones all around? That's what the little snakes eat. These little white flowers are probably good for them to eat." Lou Xiaoyu quickly shook her head in denial when he asked this.
"Could the formation of the Snake King be related to these little white flowers?" Liao Wen frowned as he observed his surroundings and pondered.
Finally, Zhu Jian and several leaders held a meeting and decided to first pick some of the small white flowers on the wall, then set up some defenses at the entrance of the snake hole before leaving.
However, it's not easy to catch these little white snakes. Although the snakes above are juveniles, they were chosen by the snake king as having talent. The snakes are large and their venom is very potent.
Finally, Zhu Jian came up with a wicked plan: he had the wood and metal elementalists block the entrances to the small snake holes, while the others quickly collected and recorded the stalks.
The only difference is that instead of collecting everything, we now collect in an orderly manner, taking one-third of the produce and leaving the rest as food and seeds for the snakes.
"As expected, the baby snakes here are much more powerful than the ones we killed in the cave before. Some of them already have special abilities." A wood-type ability user covered the cave entrance with a net, but the baby snakes inside kicked up a face full of dirt.
The bamboo slips did not participate in the collection or prevent the young snakes from being caught. Instead, Liao Wen's owl continuously measured and drew in this cave.
Because this cave will be a gathering place for Lobelia chinensis for a long time, the name was given by Gu Qing. She racked her brains for a long time before coming up with this name.
Needless to say, I felt incredibly insecure when I was being praised by others.
When they had all finished and were ready to leave, Zhu Jian even took out some strange beast corpses from his spatial storage and placed them at the bottom of the snake cave as food for the snakes.
Then everyone withdrew in an orderly manner, but they still needed to set up some defenses near the snake's head to prevent these young snakes from becoming food for other strange beasts.
Zhu Jian specially chose a place for them, and then everyone set up camp. After Zhu Jian finished making the arrangements, he brought people over to divide the spoils with Gu Qing.
"Sister-in-law, thank you so much this time. We picked a total of 532 flowers. If it weren't for leaving some room for the snakes to evolve, we would have picked at least a thousand."
He truly regrets that those things he left behind were the result of meticulous calculations.
"Let's not talk about that. I've measured them in detail and divided the flowers into three grades: high, medium, and low. I'm allocating them to you in a 1/3 ratio. Sister-in-law, is that alright?"
