Chapter 286 Who is the best fighter in Sand City?
Lu Shan looked at the tall figure in front of him, feeling nervous.
Before this, he could never imagine that a foreigner from other divine kingdoms would come to Zhulu Kingdom specifically to help the bamboo and reed people improve their planting skills.
Knowledge does not lie.
The ambassador from the Yao tribe, a planting scholar named Yu Gu, taught the Reed People how to make fertilizers, how to maintain soil fertility, how to dig canals, cultivate fields, retain moisture and control insects.
Not only did he talk about it, he also personally loosened the soil, applied fertilizer, made fertilizer and observed the growth of a large number of bamboo shoots.
Lushan knew at first glance that the other party was experienced and absolutely professional.
After improving the cultivation method according to Yu Gu's idea, the bamboo forest on the mountain entered an unprecedented period of crazy growth.
Large tracts of bamboo forests grew wildly, and the rate of bamboo people being born among them increased significantly. The newly born bamboo people were physically stronger, far better than at any time in the past.
Even the apostle Takeo-sama came to express his sincere gratitude to the fishman with the most formal etiquette.
Mr. Yugu just said, "You're welcome. That's what I'm here for."
"This is not only the mission given to me by Lord Yaoshen, but also my own wish."
"It's a pity and sad to see that Zhulu Country has so much fertile and high-quality soil, but it is not fully utilized. These soils are natural wealth."
"You don't know that the Valley of the Gods, where I worked before, spent a lot of effort to make the soil look like this... Zhulu Country naturally possesses such a huge advantage, which is simply enviable."
"There are still too few bamboo forests in Zhulu Country, and it has not yet reached its original potential. I want to strive to increase the population here! I want everyone to live a better life!"
Zhu Nan felt ashamed when he heard this: "Thank you for your hard work."
Mr. Yugu is such a pure fish man.
He had a deep love for soil and fertilizer.
Whenever he had some free time, Yugu would focus on improving fertilizers. He used his mouth to taste the flavors and toxicity of various plants, and collected dead leaves, silt, and feces, hoping to find a better formula for fertilizer raw materials.
Lushan saw a dazzling and shining halo in him, which was a noble character that was free from laziness and low-level hobbies, like a leader finding the way ahead.
Seeing that Yu Gu was still trying to explore, Lu Shan kept reminding himself.
Lushan, oh Lushan, you must never be lazy or degenerate.
Such a learned scholar never stops moving forward, so what right do you have to be complacent? Keep moving forward!
You have to move forward!
Lushan followed Yugu silently and began to learn and imitate this scholar unconsciously.
During this process, he benefited a lot and further realized the huge gap in planting technology between Zhulu Kingdom and the world where the Yao clan lived.
He often wondered what kind of life the Yao people lived in another distant world.
Everyone probably has a plantation, and they grow all kinds of things. After all, the Yao people's resources far exceed those of the Zhulu Kingdom, and the Yao people have a deep understanding of soil, water, weather, and all kinds of things that grow in the soil.
After hearing Lushan's idea, Yu Gu couldn't help but shake his head.
"Wrong."
"In the Yao tribe, land is very precious. Not everyone can have such a luxurious large piece of fertile land like the Lu people, and can live easily regardless of whether they grow crops or not."
"There are specialized farmers who are responsible for planting crops, mainly wheat, potatoes and soybeans. There are also fruit farmers who take care of orchards and constantly improve the taste of berries and cranberries. Of course, there are herders who graze cattle, sheep and pigs and raise walking birds..."
This description made Lushan even more fascinated.
"But in the Yao clan, the competition is also quite fierce."
Yu Gu seemed to have thought of something, and the smile on his face became a little bleak: "Although I don't want to admit it, I am just an ordinary gardener in the garden of God Valley."
"My good brother Shaq, that's what we call talent. And the Rose Messengers, they are born with a natural affinity for nature and flowers, which we can't compare to."
Lu Shan was secretly surprised.
Mr. Yanjiu, a sand walker from Zhuzhishan, said that his level was also common among the Yao people. Another sand walker, Nonglei, was even more direct, saying that he couldn't make it in the Yao people anymore, so he came here to look for further training opportunities.
Whenever Lu Shan thought about how any passerby from the Yao clan was at the level of a fish goo, he just felt like he had difficulty breathing.
…
Lu Shan cut off the chaotic thoughts in his mind, mustered up the courage to step forward and said, "Mr. Yu Gu, I would like to ask, is there anything I should pay attention to when going to the world of the Yao Clan?"
Yu Gu, who was stirring the fertilizer, put down his work and said, "By the way, you are one of the two people sent by Zhulu Country for the exchange, right? Who is the other one?"
"It's Taketora."
"Oh, I remember now. It's that particularly strong guy. Well, one is good at literature and the other is good at martial arts. Let's go over and see more of him. It will be helpful to you."
Yu Gu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Don't be nervous. This time you are not going to the Yao Clan's world, but the Yunzhong Temple, which is where the Yao Clan's martial arts practitioners practice. But Sand City is said to have been built based on Yao City and Yan City, so it can be considered a continuation of the same lineage."
"As for the precautions..."
He thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem to be a big deal. Lord Yaoshen is very tolerant of mortals. Let's read more and learn more."
"By the way, if you are going to Sand City, then bring something to my good brother Shaq and say hello to him for me. Please help me see how he is doing now."
…
Lu Shan stood outside the Sand City, looking at the city in front of him surrounded by tall metal roses, and his feet felt a little weak.
There were no so-called cities in Zhulu Country, only scattered hilltops. Each hill was shared by several bamboo people, who also built bamboo buildings and houses based on the terrain, but there had never been such a concentrated and majestic settlement as the one before them.
The dry and desolate desert has a breath of death. Thick white clouds linger in the sky, and flower-shaped clouds float through the clouds from time to time. It is said that they are cloud roses, a strange life form grown by the Yao clan.
Next to it were two long, straight and wide roads, with white stone piers on both sides. From time to time, shuttles passed through the sand, like some kind of large stone snake, dragging a cloud of yellow sand behind them.
"The Sand City is ahead. You will spend three days here."
The guide leading the way had a body shaped like a hill, and its huge head protruded from the sand.
This person's identity is very unusual.
It is the apostle of the god Yao and one of the two administrators of this world, the monk who knows guests.
The monk in charge of reception slowly turned his huge head, and his wide mouth opened and closed. The strong wind he exhaled almost made Lushan lose his balance. Fortunately, Zhuhu caught him.
"The Sand City is governed by another apostle, Slymod. Don't be afraid to trouble him, he is everywhere. Go in, he will guide you."
The monk in charge of receiving guests slowly sank into the sand and soon disappeared.
Lushan and Zhuhu looked at each other and could see the nervousness in each other's eyes.
Zhuhu forced himself to pout and said, "It's nothing special, it's just a city."
A sneer came from the side.
"Just a city? Ignorance is fearlessness."
"Du brother, don't be like this..."
The voices came from two tall, grey-skinned funeral tribe members who came from the ghost world. This time, Sand City invited two major kingdoms of gods to participate in the invitation.
Lu Shan only knew that of these two members of the Bing clan, the one who spoke with sarcasm was called Bing Du, and the other who tried to persuade them was called Bing Ji.
Zhuhu stared at Bingdu fiercely: "Are you looking for trouble on purpose?"
"Hehe, what do you want?" Bingdu smiled with a wry smile.
Lushan and Bingji hurriedly tried to persuade the two fellow tribesmen to stop.
At this moment, a man in green suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
He was wearing a bright green coat, holding a cane, had a tall figure, and wore a wide-brimmed hat on his head, the brim of which completely obscured his face.
"Welcome, welcome, dear visitors from foreign countries. I am the mayor of this city, Slymod. Now please follow me and I will show you around this city."
The four of them immediately fell silent.
The person in front of him is also an apostle of God Yao and has a noble status.
They were somewhat flattered that God Yao had sent two apostles as guides. At the same time, they were even more uneasy. There were actually two apostles in one city... The Yao clan was really a powerful clan.
The green-clad apostle led the way in front, introducing the Sand City to them with ease.
"This city was established very recently, so it is relatively simple. However, because it is a new city, it has many possibilities and not so many rules and regulations."
"Oh, by the way, if you drink some of this [Blast Furnace Honey Wine], you will be able to understand the various languages of the people of Sand City."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Slymod handed each of them an earthenware flagon, and all four drank a little.
"There is a ghost lighthouse, a rose garden, a mining area, a martial arts arena, and a forest area... Where do you want to start?"
"Ghost Lighthouse!"
"The Rose Garden."
The two envoys gave different answers and neither side gave in.
This was a point that the apostles had reminded them of before they left the Kingdom of God. Although the Ghost Realm and the Zhulu Kingdom were cooperating with each other externally, the two sides were still competing secretly, and this was related to the future right to speak and the dignity of each party.
Slymod snapped his fingers: "Easy."
His body split into two, and he led the two groups of people towards different areas.
The rose garden is behind the temple in the sand city. It is surrounded by a wooden fence. In the limited soil grow roses of different colors. They are small, short and dry, but stand up tenaciously.
Lushan met Yugu's good friend, the extraordinary person called Shak.
Just like what Yugu said.
——That guy is very big. You can see it as soon as you get to the rose garden. It is always in the rose garden.
Shak is a huge sand monster, shaped like a big snake with rough and tough skin. It has no mouth or nose, only a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth and shaped like a whirlpool.
However, its huge mouth, which is deep enough to tear apart any flesh and blood, spurts out a fine mist of water, artificially creating a gentle drizzle, bringing nourishing moisture to the flower fields.
A ferocious and strong monster was carefully protecting the fragile flowers. This scene was indescribably strange, but it made Lushan inexplicably touched.
Zhuhu was so nervous that his body was crackling.
"Do you still want to challenge it? It looks so strong... The feeling of oppression is almost the same as Mr. Shiohisa's." Lushan whispered.
Zhuhu gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"
As if to prove his courage, Taketora shouted, "I challenge you! Mr. Shaq...!"
The Sand King, who was observing Rose, finally turned his head, and aimed his deep and ferocious mouthparts at this side, making Lushan and Zhuhu shudder.
“You are…”
As if he had thought of something, Shaq's mouth opened further, revealing the sharp fangs inside that looked like countless blades: "Visitors from Zhulu Country, right? I heard from the mayor."
"By the way, how's Fishgu over there? Is he doing well?"
Beneath the terrifying and ferocious image, there is a gentle and friendly voice.
This eased Lushan's tension.
He took out a few bamboo shoots wrapped with vines from the bamboo basket behind him, presented them with both hands, and said hesitantly, "Mr. Shak, Mr. Yugu asked me to bring these to you. He said you would like them."
"Thank you for your hard work... What is this?"
Speaking of this, Lu Shan couldn't help but straighten his chest: "This is the bamboo shoots that are a specialty of Zhulu Country. They can be grown into bamboo. Bamboo can not only be used as material, but also can provide shelter from wind and rain."
Bamboo shoots that leave the Bamboo Reed Kingdom cannot grow into bamboo people, so this is just a small gift.
Shak gave a gentle puff and the bamboo shoots were blown into the flower bed and planted in the soil.
"Is this the right way to plant it? The tip of the sword should be the tender bud?"
Lu Shan nodded: "Yes."
"It's a really interesting new plant. I've never seen one before."
Zhu Hu next to him couldn't help but emphasize again: "Mr. Shaq, I want to challenge you!"
Lushan was helpless.
Before coming, Zhuhu, the first warrior of Zhulu Country, wanted to challenge the extraordinary people of Yao Clan. In Zhulu Country, Zhuhu is a powerful warrior second only to the apostle Zhunan.
Yu Gu said that Shaq once had an amazing record of fighting one hundred people alone, which made Zhu Hu eager to try before he came.
Facing the challenge from Bamboo Man, Shaq said: "This... I am a gardener, not a combat member. You have found the wrong person."
Lushan and Zhuhu couldn't help but complain in their hearts.
A gardener who beats a hundred people? That's still called a gardener? But they thought about it.
The planting master Yu Gu is also a gardener.
The Yao clan's gardener is truly a magical profession, able to both plant and farm.
"There are many extraordinary people who are good at fighting in Sand City. I just had better luck in the past." Shak said casually.
Zhuhu refused to give up: "Who is the best fighter in Sand City?"
Shaq thought for a moment and said, "The cave dweller in the north of the city has a small stone figure, and the ice giant in the south of the city has an ice fist. They are both very good at fighting. You can give it a try."
Zhuhu bowed: "Thank you."
He said to Lushan, "Wait for my good news."
That night, Lushan waited for a long time, but Zhuhu didn't come back.
Lushan searched for him and finally found him in the corner of the city wall of Sand City.
Zhu Hu sat in the corner with his knees hugged, his eyes dull.
It was a long time before he said, "I want to go home."
Lu Shan didn't know what he had encountered, so he could only pat Zhu Ren's strong shoulder and said, "Mr. Yan Jiu also said that there are many strong people in the Yao clan, and he is just an ordinary one."
He looked beyond the low wall and saw the brass-like sand roses gleaming with golden luster, sparkling in the moonlight.
The whole city was lit up like a forest of iron and sand filled with fireflies.
There is another kind of beauty here.
