Chapter 573 Incubation (extra update for 600 monthly tickets accumulated)
With the completion of the brick factory, Zhou Xu immediately summoned all the confirmed brick workers and asked them to prepare to start work.
During the period of building the brick factory, they have confirmed the raw materials and carried out some preliminary processing on the raw materials.
Now that the brick factory is completed, they can start work immediately.
After closing the document in front of him, Zhou Xu, whose work for the day had come to a temporary end, could not help but collapse on the metal chair in the temple.
“It’s so hot.”
It was already midsummer now, and it was actually quite cool inside the temple. It was even hotter outside, but this still couldn't change the fact that Zhou Xu was scorching hot as hell.
He didn't need to say much during the period. The servant next to him quickly poured him a cup of herbal tea and handed it to him.
"My king, have some tea."
Zhou Xu took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. This summer, he really relied on herbal tea to survive.
After arriving in the tropical rainforest, we discovered many plant leaves and improved and upgraded the herbal tea formula. We also added new ingredients such as mint leaves to make the taste more refreshing.
After drinking the herbal tea, Zhou Xu regained his spirit and devoted himself to the work at hand.
Just then, Bo Levin came over with a happy look on his face.
During this period of time, Bolevin has lost a lot of weight and even his movements have become more agile. He can even jog now.
"My king, the eggs in the sacred incubation pool have begun to hatch."
Hearing this, Zhou Xu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Let's go and take a look."
Long before, he had asked Bolevin when the eggs in the sacred incubation pool would hatch.
Bolevin estimated the time and told him that the earliest batch should be this month.
However, due to the length of time that had passed, Zhou Xu temporarily put this matter behind him.
Now that he had received accurate information, Zhou Xu did not hesitate and immediately set off for the Sacred Hatching Pool! As he walked out of the hall, without further ado, the four Elf Knights, led by Silk, immediately followed.
Apparently they had finished their vacation and returned to work, now becoming knights of their king's personal guard.
The main task is to follow their king closely and ensure the safety of their king's life.
During this time, the servants followed beside him and stole a few glances from time to time.
At first he was wondering why their king suddenly set up a personal guard.
Now, seeing their king walking in front with big strides, followed by four elven knights, he was really majestic! But it was also because he was their king, with a face that looked natural even among a group of elves. If he were an ordinary human man, how could he bear to have elven knights following behind him as a guard?
While the servant was daydreaming, Zhou Xu and his companions had already arrived at the side hall where the sacred incubation pool was located.
Zhou Xu, who had been here before, was familiar with the place.
I don’t know if it’s because the Sacred Incubation Pool building has some special effect, but even in the middle of summer, there is no strange smell due to the excessive heat.
At the same time, Zhou Xu was lucky. When he walked in, he saw a little animal reaching out its hand from a broken eggshell within his sight.
With a simple tearing action, the eggshell wrapping its body was quickly broken, and then a lizard man the size of a baby crawled out from it and fell into the pool.
Zhou Xu's heart skipped a beat when he saw this scene.
"Is this okay?"
"Please rest assured, my king. For newly born lizardmen, soaking in the water of this sacred incubation pool can improve their physical fitness and allow them to adapt to the external environment faster."
At this point, Bolevin paused.
"They only have this one chance in their lifetime. They won't be able to have sex again in the future."
“…”
Anyway, just know they are okay.
Looking around, there are already quite a few newly hatched lizardmen soaking in it. They don't look painful at all, but rather seem to be enjoying themselves.
"How many can be hatched in this wave?"
"It should be around four or five hundred."
Bolevin estimated a number.
Under this premise, Zhou Xu undoubtedly had new questions in his mind regarding these lizardmen babies.
"So what will happen to these children? Will their parents come to pick them up? But the question is how can their parents tell them apart?"
Faced with this question, Bolevin shook his head.
"No need, they will be fed uniformly next."
Zhou Xu was stunned when he heard this.
Perhaps seeing Zhou Xu's confusion, Bo Levin made a "please" gesture.
"My king, please follow me."
As he spoke, Bolevin led them out of the side hall and came to another location.
Unlike the previous incubation room, as soon as the room here was opened, he smelled a distinct odor. The smell made him feel a little uncomfortable, and his instinct told him that there was probably nothing good inside.
This was indeed the case. The next second, the scene that came into his eyes made him feel obviously uncomfortable.
What I saw in that room was actually a large number of densely packed fleshworms!
"Ah, don't tell me they eat these?"
Although this was a question, Zhou Xu undoubtedly knew the answer in his heart at this moment.
"Yes."
Bolevin nodded.
"To be precise, they eat the white ones, which are very clean and nutritious. The ones next to them that have turned yellow or even black are overgrown, and their body surfaces have hardened and formed shells."
“…”
In fact, apart from the physical discomfort, Zhou Xu did not doubt what Boleven said.
Those plump white worms, if you cut off their heads, probably contain six times as much protein as beef.
To be honest, when he first came here, he ate insects and mice for a long time.
But what he didn't expect was that on the Lizardmen's side, these were actually 'baby food'.
According to Zhou Xu's idea, this newborn baby should be in the breastfeeding period.
But then he changed his mind and realized that lizardmen didn't seem to be mammals.
It is estimated that those lizardmen babies have completed the most basic growth and development while still in the eggs.
So after hatching and adapting to the environment, they can start eating immediately.
Putting aside external factors, judging from the nutritional value alone, these white flesh worms are probably really impeccable high-protein nutritious foods.
In addition, some insects have always been one of the foods of the Lizardmen to supplement the nutrients they need...
