Chapter 542: Bandits Appear (3)
Xiao Ai said that there would be two groups of robbers, but it is still unclear whether the player in the so-called Caribbean territory is the same.
However, the monsters that appear in the new solar term are definitely one of the robbers arranged by the system.
Their appearance and existence are consistent with the weather forecast, so there must be something wrong.
The second reason is the scarecrow.
Scarecrow obtained the drawings a long time ago, but never used them.
As a result, she learned the repeated blueprint that Qingqing opened and got an evolved version of the scarecrow.
Isn't the purpose of this scarecrow just to drive away these small low-level monsters and prevent them from destroying the farmland? !
Shu Lingyi couldn't help but snort coldly: "I don't believe there are such coincidences in the world."
[Yi Ling]: "I have a scarecrow prop here, which should be just right for dealing with these monsters. Do you want to buy one? I'll give you a 10% discount for two!"
Shu Ling smiled and made an advertisement. Zhong Qingwei also had nearly three acres of land. Usually, he would fight monsters and farm. At night, he would make weapons and sell them.
Although her life seems simple, she is also the biggest taxpayer in her territory.
[So redundant]: "A scarecrow...how is it used? Is it calculated based on the coverage area or something?"
[Yi Ling]: "One can cover half an acre of land, but I don't have that many to sell at the moment, so I can only sell two at most."
【So redundant】: "Then I can order six first, and get a discount of 20%. I can give you two first."
[Yi Ling]: "That's fine, let's sign a contract."
Scarecrows are naturally divided into different levels according to the materials they are made of.
According to the current situation of monsters, level five monsters are the best choice among the low-level ones.
Secondly, level six and level seven are considered the top scarecrows. If she wants to give them to familiar friends like Zhong Qingwei, they will definitely sell the best.
However, there aren't many materials for seventh-level monsters, but I can still afford to make about two hundred of them.
At worst, Shu Lingyi could still make further purchases from outside. The materials for level seven monsters must not only be in the hands of them.
After figuring out the plan, Shu Lingyi felt that the next period would be full of promising "money" prospects.
But they couldn't just ignore the monsters in the territory, so they thought of getting Zhong Qingwei to form a team to hunt the little monsters.
Zhong Qingwei was sure that he would not refuse, so he agreed immediately and waited for the meeting in Oak Forest later.
[Yi Ling]: "Okay, I'll pack my things and come back later."
Carrying his weapons, Shu Ling hurried out. Although the materials from low-level monsters were not very useful, their enhancement would be minimal if they were synthesized to make weapons.
But if it is only used as a tool, such as for mining, loosening the soil, and cutting trees, the effect is still very significant.
When it comes to trees, using too good a tool will only result in a waste of resources.
When they arrived at the oak forest, the number of monsters had decreased sharply after Zhong Qing had left to clean up the area, but there were still nearly four or five hundred!
Therefore, when Shu Lingyi first arrived, he saw a particularly funny scene - Zhong Qingwei was killing a rabbit with his hands and feet dancing.
The scene was really hilarious, a muscular young man fighting with a large group of colorful rabbits, using both his hands and feet...
"Haha." She really couldn't hold it in and laughed out loud because she thought the laughter was too small.
Zhong Qing didn't notice her, but the rabbits also noticed her, so half of the large group of rabbits headed towards her.
"This is too much! These rabbits are really not afraid of death!"
"This is what happens when you block them from eating. Some other monsters compete with them for territory and are killed or forced to move to other places."
Among these monsters, rabbits are the most numerous, and they come in all colors and patterns. Some are even as small as an adult's palm.
Shu Lingyi didn't even need to use weapons. With a little strength, he could kill that low-level rabbit monster with a slap.
So she soon understood the performance art of Zhong Qingwei's dancing just now. The two of them looked at each other's movements that were comparable to those of a rehabilitation patient and smiled at each other.
After killing hundreds of rabbits, my hands and feet were tired, but I got a lot of rabbit meat.
"Why don't we have spicy rabbit meat tonight? I wonder who said rabbits are so cute..."
The two of them simply divided the spoils and continued on to the next place, walking all the way north to the place where they had previously drilled groundwater.
The underground river there is a rare natural soda water, but later some players also settled there, so Shu Lingyi naturally didn't have to go through the trouble of coming here alone.
The scene here is different. For the time being, two groups of monsters are confronting each other, and their numbers are extremely terrifying.
On one side is a huge group of rabbits, the highest level is only level four, but as soon as you climb over the hill, you can see them everywhere.
Everywhere you look, you can see rabbits munching on grass, some even spreading out of the mountain in groups.
"Don't tell me that all the rabbits come from here?"
Zhong Qingwei didn't have any bold ideas, but Shu Lingyi noticed that there was some bright green on the top of a hill.
"Look over there, that's where I caught the pheasants. It's still green there so there shouldn't be many rabbits."
Shu Lingyi and Zhong Qingwei worked together to kill the rabbit, and at the same time Shu Lingyi did not forget to contact the players trapped here.
The player who helped her get natural soda water was the first to reply: "It was okay in the morning. I encountered more than a hundred of them at that time. Generally, there will be more of them refreshed at the new solar term. It's normal."
[All Trees Are Autumn Colors]: "I thought it was easy to deal with since the level was low, so I didn't think much about it. Who knew the number would increase so much, and it has only stopped growing now."
[Yi Ling]: "Then there should be other monsters. I suspect that these rabbits are so numerous that they have spread to other places."
【All trees are in autumn colors】: "Yes, there are. There is also a group of wild pheasants. No, there are many chickens, not all of them are pheasants."
She had only seen them from a distance. Among the huge flock of chickens, the pheasants were not even the most numerous, but they were indeed the most eye-catching in color. The rooster's feathers were very bright.
As for the other one that looks very familiar, it is the kind of pastured chicken raised in many rural areas on Blue Star. The color of its body is relatively monotonous.
There is also a black kind, which is not very real when viewed from a distance. [All the trees are in autumn colors] I only know that it is also a chicken. Although I can still see it flying a few times, it is not very high.
[All trees are in autumn colors]: "These guys can drive away the rabbits, but they also occupy the territory and peck the ground, which causes considerable damage to the trees and grass."
Shu Lingyi frowned, but still comforted [Trees are all autumn colors]: "Then you should protect yourself. Everyone in the territory is trying their best to kill the monsters."
So many monsters are killed to get meat. Since the shelf life is short, we just make more bacon. Sausages and smoked meat can be used to extend the shelf life.
By the way, you can also catch more chickens to expand the variety of chickens in my father's farm.
"Then let's go over there and take a look. We can catch a few of these rabbits alive and bring them back."
He killed dozens of rabbits while chatting and laughing, and at the same time contacted [Zhe Yue Zhu Jiu] to make some more bamboo cages for himself.
【Zhe Yue Zhu Jiu】: "This is nothing. Speaking of which, we are suffering here, but there are not so many monsters in Shen Shaoqing's place."
[Yi Ling]: "He has so many pandas there, each one is of a higher level. I guess not many little demon beasts would dare to join in the fun."
【Zheyue Zhujiu】: "Yes, I am really envious."
Who wouldn't be envious of someone who grows bamboo and raises pandas without the trouble caused by little monsters?
Killing all the way, Shu Lingyi didn't know how many rabbits he had killed. His hands and feet were numb, and he finally reached the hill where the chickens were.
"They all like to peck at the ground and turn over the soil?" The two were still at the bottom of the mountain, and they could see traces of the soil being dug up inside and out.
You really can't see it from a distance, but when you look at it from such a close distance, you will find that the soil is covered with dense chicken claw marks. The soil has been turned over, and the growing weeds have naturally been pecked into a mess.
There were hardly any chickens at the foot of the mountain. The two looked all the way up and could only sum it up in eight words: a mess and devastation.
The huge number of chickens did not seem to bring any good luck to this land, but instead caused deeper harm.
"On rainy days like this, the soil will be relatively moist, and I've seen quite a few earthworms appear there before."
"They may be turning the soil to find insects to eat, especially earthworms, which pheasants particularly like to eat."
Shu Lingyi could only guess this until he was almost halfway up the mountain and encountered a group of chickens.
The size of the shepherd chickens is slightly larger than the pheasants. The arrival of Shu Lingyi and Zhong Qingwei attracted their attention from pecking at the ground. They all raised their heads and stared at the two of them, with their heads held high and their chests puffed out.
They look very imposing, and when so many imposing chicken herders are staring at people, it is hard not to feel a little nervous.
It was just the same as always, his level was too low and he couldn't even withstand Shu Ling's slap with 10% strength.
"I feel so refreshed now! I suffered a lot when I came here to catch pheasants before."
Things are different now, even though the chickens' attack methods remain largely the same.
Sometimes it pecks with its beak, sometimes it scratches with its claws, and sometimes it shoots feathers.
Now Shu Lingyi is a living devil. The damage caused by these low-level chickens can't even break her defense.
Not to mention that like that time, he scratched her body and left bloody wounds, pecked at her flesh, and had countless feathers pierce her skin.
The memory had been slowly buried with the subsequent stories, but at this moment it was wiped clean and awakened.
"As expected of Comrade Yi Yi, so brave."
Zhong Qingwei felt distressed when he heard Shu Lingyi's nonchalant tone, but he looked at Shu Lingyi with a happy look as if he had received his retribution.
And I just felt that the girl in front of me was incredibly strong.
"That's not the case. I was really reckless at that time, but there are gains as well as losses."
Shu Ling laughed and grabbed a few level 4 pastured chickens and locked them in a bamboo cage: "This kind of chicken has firm skin and meat, and is delicious!"
"But it seems to me that not everything here is the same?"
There were a large number of chickens in front of them, but their levels were too low, so the two were too lazy to even check their information.
Shu Lingyi overlooked one thing and followed Zhong Qingwei's words to carefully observe the flock of chickens in front of him.
It was soon discovered that there were some slight differences in their fur color. After observing this difference, Shu Lingyi realized that the species were completely different.
The chickens in front of me do look very similar. There is indeed one type among them that is the most common in many rural households on Blue Star, but that is a free-range chicken, not a pastured chicken.
Shu Lingyi knew something about the chickens, but not a lot.
Most of it came from the knowledge her father had taught her, so she herself couldn't say that she understood it all.
There was some awkwardness between the two of them. After Shu Lingyi checked the information in the survival atlas, he confirmed that the two groups of chickens in front of him were indeed the two types she mentioned.
The body shape of the free range chicken is very similar to that of the pasture chicken, and the difference in fur color is not much, but the mountain pheasant is much smarter than the free range chicken.
The most widely raised breed of free-range chicken is on Blue Star, and it is also called the stupid chicken.
Now, looking at this group of pasture chickens, the wild chickens do not seem to be very smart.
The chickens raised in Blue Star are different from ordinary chickens because of their relatively special breeding environment and other requirements.
But the relatively famous ones seem to be the Qinghai-Tibet pasture chickens, jokingly called the world's highest flock of chickens because they are raised at an altitude of about 3,800 meters.
Even their living habits are different.
Because of this special breeding requirement, Jiang Wang didn't raise many. He only raised a few and quickly caught and ate them.
A good breeding farm provides an extraordinary environment, and it can even be said that the chickens "drink snow water when they are thirsty and eat Cordyceps when they are hungry."
This kind of chicken has thick skin, thin bones and firm muscles. Not to mention other things, it is simply a top-notch ingredient for making soup.
There is also a saying that "herding chickens to control locusts". In places where locusts are rampant, arranging a group of chickens to herd them can also be very effective in controlling locusts.
Shu Lingyi just treated it as a popular science explanation to Zhong Qingwei, and talked while fighting monsters, which made the journey not too boring.
"I've also heard that raising chickens can cure locusts. So raising chickens has great value. I'll catch more."
Zhong Qingwei nodded in approval, his hands moving swiftly, his sharp eyes scanning the flock of chickens that were charging forward one after another.
Eliminate the free-range chickens and pick out the more clever, sturdy and robust pasture chickens from level four and lock them up.
"But how should I put it...herding chickens to treat locusts is not actually the best choice."
If she remembered correctly, she had heard her father mention that herding chickens was not so easy to do.
It seems that there is another kind of duck that has the ability to kill locusts. The reason why it is more worthy of use than chickens is not because its ability is much greater.
The main reason is that duck groups are more united, so when they move in groups they will not be too scattered and they will be more obedient to commands.
Another reason is that ducks eat more, much more than chickens.
If you ask Shu Lingyi what kind of duck it is, she doesn't know. You'll have to go back and ask Jiang Wang.
"That's not a big problem. Free range chickens are easy to raise, their meat is firm and delicious when braised. Pastured chickens are also nutritious and nice for making soup. Let's catch them all."
"good."
