Chapter 512: Inspecting the Lizardman Territory
Not only did he directly unlock the second-level 'Holy Incubation Pool' project, but he also got a second-level building for free. Zhou Xu had not expected this.
At this moment, the corners of Zhou Xu's mouth were already raised into an irrepressible arc. Obviously, this unexpected gain made him feel quite good.
Before, he was thinking about obtaining the population of Lizardmen, and he had to find an opportunity to recruit them.
Now it’s okay, even if I can’t recruit him, it doesn’t matter.
At a glance, without considering the depth, there are probably thousands of lizard eggs piled on the upper layer of this sacred hatching pool! Enough to build the bottom population of his lizard people.
Compared to those lizardmen who have already grown up, these lizardmen who have not yet hatched have better plasticity in his eyes.
With this idea in mind, Zhou Xu discovered during further observation that the lizard eggs inside were of different sizes.
Putting aside the shape, the big ones are as big as a basketball, while the small ones are only as big as a volleyball.
Zhou Xu didn't think this was an individual difference, because he found that all the lizard eggs in the pond seemed to be of these two sizes.
Looking at the two sizes of eggs, he subconsciously thought of the blue lizards and green lizards he had seen during the previous battle.
[The difference between these two eggs of different sizes should be that they hatch two different kinds of lizardmen, right? ]
Compared to this, Zhou Xu is more concerned about...
"Bam, how long does it usually take for a lizardman's eggs to hatch? Also, at what age does a lizardman become an adult?"
Faced with this question, Bam simply rolled his eyes.
“Do you think I needed to research this before?”
【I was speechless.】
As the son of the Dragon God, Bam's status in the tribe is equivalent to that of the dragon's prince, while the lizardmen are the lowly servants in their tribe.
How could an underage prince who doesn't just think about eating, drinking and having fun every day have so much free time to care about the reproduction and growth cycles of his own low-level servants?
He had indeed asked the wrong dragon this question.
[It seems that it would be better to recruit some existing lizardmen to obtain some basic intelligence. It would be easier.]
I didn't plan to stay here for long. To put it bluntly, this was just the lizardmen's hatchery. Although it was of extraordinary value, everything inside was basically obvious at a glance. There wasn't anything to see if I continued to stay here.
After leaving the hatchery, the group walked down the long stone steps and finally arrived at the living area of the lizard people.
Li Ce did not take Zhou Xu towards the building complex. To put it bluntly, those buildings were just a bunch of stone houses. There was actually nothing to see. For them, the more valuable things were outside.
Due to the daily movements of the lizardmen, a very obvious dirt road has been trampled out here.
After passing through the bushes and walking along the dirt road for a distance, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear.
In the rainforest with lush and dense vegetation, there is an unusually spacious area.
This area obviously could not have been formed naturally, but was deliberately cleared. At first glance, a large number of fruit and vegetable plants were planted in the area.
[Looking at this situation, the lizardmen here also have farming techniques. But think about it, the lizardmen here are very large, and if there is no farming technology to support them, it is impossible to sustain. ]
With this idea in mind, led by Li Ce, everyone had already walked into the lizard man's farmland.
"There are many fruits and vegetables planted in this field, which should be one of the main foods of the lizard people. However, since these fruits and vegetables are too unfamiliar to us, we dare not eat them for the time being. We plan to send them back to the rear for research and testing first."
Many of the fruits and vegetables there were of strange shapes and bright colors. Even Zhou Xu couldn’t recognize what they were, let alone Li Ce and the others.
If you discover something new, even if you can confirm that it is most likely food from the other party, don't just put it into your mouth. Li Ce's approach is correct.
Zhou Xu nodded and agreed.
But Bam, who was flying nearby, didn't care about all this. After seeing those fruits, his eyes lit up suddenly. Then, without caring what Zhou Xu and the others were saying, he flapped his wings and flew over. He picked a yellow, strange-shaped fruit and took a bite.
When you take a bite, the juice splashes everywhere, and it looks and tastes quite good.
Bam finished one in two or three bites, and then picked another one and put it in his mouth.
“This is good, delicious.”
"No, this one is too bland."
"Eh~ sour! Ugh!"
In the lizardman's fields, Bam picked the grown fruits and vegetables, eating them and commenting on them.
After eating all kinds of fruits and vegetables, he finally fell on Zhou Xu's shoulder with a relieved look on his face.
"That's great. I've been sick of eating meat these past two days."
Hearing this, Zhou Xu was speechless.
"I'm so sick of it, but I don't see you eating less!"
As Zhou Xu spoke, he picked up a yellow fruit at hand, wiped it casually, and put it into his mouth.
The way Bam ate just now really made him hungry.
Under this premise, with Bam testing the poison for him, what was he afraid of? Not to mention that from Bam's look, it was obvious that he knew these fruits.
He took a bite, and along with the overflowing of juice, the rich fruity aroma immediately burst out in his mouth, making Zhou Xu's eyes light up.
[This tastes like mango, but without the core. ]
This fruit is really fragrant and very sweet!
Before he traveled through time, they were too sweet and he really didn’t like them, but now he drank two of them in a row and was really addicted.
Although he had just said that to Bam, Zhou Xu had to admit that, considering the expedition environment, fresh fruits and vegetables were not easy to preserve and could basically not be carried. The food on the front line was basically dry food that could be easily stored for a long time.
Therefore, he had not eaten fresh fruits and vegetables for a long time, not to mention that these fruits were sweeter and juicier than the fruits and vegetables grown in their Great Zhou.
It's quite refreshing to eat one or two big bites like this, but it's too sweet and you'll get sick of it if you eat too much.
Discoveries like this are basically used to enrich the nutrition of their daily diet.
It is important, but it is not necessary for Zhou Xu and others to keep watching it here.
"Li Ce, dig up some of these and take them back with the roots, and see if you can grow them over there."
"yes!"
After giving a simple instruction, Zhou Xu picked two more fruits and ate them while following Li Ce to the next place...
After half past ten, there may be more
