So they started building barbed wire fences over the base, specifically to defend against aerial attacks. Thankfully, the building materials market and the Wujin general store in the county town had some well-preserved ones.
Torches soaked in wax were lit at the construction site, illuminating the sky with a reddish hue.
Not only soldiers, but all the able-bodied young men in the base signed up to participate in this construction project.
Because they receive one pound of grain and one pound of vegetables every day.
Even potatoes and sweet potatoes can keep you full, right? Besides, you get twenty points a day. Jian Anping also signed up to participate.
It's like stepping back into ancient times; every morning at seven o'clock, a bell rings to mark the time. This large bell was originally a scenic feature on the mountain. Now it's coming in handy.
During the long night, women stayed at home and cooked, without having to go out to work.
Having nothing to do, Jian Ning told Aunt Wang not to bother her.
Then he closed the door and led Huang Fugui into the immortal's abode.
This eighth level has so many amazing treasures, all kinds of rare and precious herbs and medicinal plants.
Bringing Huang Fugui along would be a good opportunity to help.
Furthermore, she prepared an excavator, fully fueled beforehand, which would prove invaluable for digging. She also carried a parachute, demonstrating thorough preparation.
Upon entering the eighth level, the familiar feeling of landing washed over her, making her feel somewhat weightless. Jian Ning calmly opened her parachute, the overhead light illuminating the area in front of her as bright as day.
Only from a high vantage point can one see the general layout of the area: mountains, water, rivers, and dense forests, with a tall, palace-like building in the distance. That's probably where she's headed to complete her challenge.
Jian Ning secretly memorized the direction in the air.
Try to control your body and avoid landing on a tree. We're lucky this time. The landing site is a flat beach, with a flowing river right in front of us.
Retract the parachute. After checking that there was no danger around, release Huang Fugui from the jade pendant space.
He still looks like a child, and he exclaimed in surprise as soon as he came out.
"Master, where is this? The spiritual energy is so rich!"
"The place where I'm venturing through isn't just filled with rich spiritual energy. Can you tell what else there is?" Jian Ning smiled slightly, watching its expression.
"Wow! So many good things! Master, I can smell them all! Over there, over there, and over there! How come there are treasures everywhere?"
We're going to strike it rich this time!
After hearing Jian Ning's words, Huang Fugui sniffed and then shouted excitedly.
It spun around in place, pointing wildly with its little hands, as if it wished all these treasures could enter its embrace.
"Yes, we've struck it rich! Where should we go first? But we have to be careful, everything here is huge. Have you ever seen a rabbit taller than me?"
"Is it the one you keep in the space?"
"That really startled me! I thought the rabbit had come to life. Even though it wasn't very powerful, anything that's huge is quite frightening."
Huang Fugui had been studying those big rabbits in the space for a long time, and now that Jian Ning had spoken, he was prepared.
Pointing eastward with a small hand.
"Master, let's head east, there's something good there."
"Fine, you should turn back into an animal. You're too slow in human form."
As soon as Jian Ning finished speaking, Huang Fugui shook his body and transformed into the shape of a kitten. His little wings fluttered a few times, and he actually took flight.
"Wow, Fugui, when did you learn to fly? I didn't know!" Jian Ning almost wanted to pull out a helicopter. Her pet could fly, but she still had to walk.
"I just learned this in the last couple of days. Let's go, Master, it's not far." Huang Fugui flapped its little wings and led the way. Jian Ning followed closely behind, parting the grass. They hadn't gone far when Huang Fugui exclaimed in surprise.
"Master, what a big duck!"
Jian Ning looked up and saw a mallard duck rushing towards her. It was quite large, about the size of an ostrich.
She quickly dodged to the side, but unexpectedly, the duck quacked twice and stretched its neck to rush towards Jian Ning.
"What's going on? Do the ducks here attack people too? Do they think I'm something to eat?"
"Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover. Watch out, I'll give you a good whack!"
Muttering to herself, Jian Ning charged forward, brandishing an extended stun baton. With a weapon in hand, this utterly harmless animal was no match for her.
After being shocked by the electric baton, the wild duck fell to the ground with a thud, its little eyes darting around. Jian Ning even saw a puzzled expression on its face.
"Can you understand me? If you can, nod." Jian Ning felt she needed a mount, and this lone wild duck was perfect to ride. It would also make walking faster.
The wild duck looked at her with a puzzled expression, but didn't say anything at all.
"Master, what are you doing?" Huang Fugui landed from the sky, walked up to the wild duck, and poked its head with his paw. He tilted his head and looked at Jian Ning, asking.
"I was thinking that if it could understand me and let me ride it, it would save me a lot of effort. Now that we're here, my spiritual energy can't circulate. Walking is too slow," Jian Ning explained to it.
"Oh, is that so? That's easy, Master, just watch me."
Huang Fugui walked over and squatted down in front of the wild duck, gesturing and meowing at it. After a few meows, the wild duck actually nodded. Then it quacked a few times.
It seems that animals really can communicate.
"Master, it said it's okay, but it needs some food. It's hungry and too tired to run anymore. It also asked what spell you used that made its whole body still numb?"
"Of course I have delicious food. What do ducks eat?" Jian Ning slapped her forehead. She had never raised these kinds of things before. Shouldn't they eat grass?
"Small fish and shrimp, anything with a shell, and grains too," Huang Fugui said to the wild duck after exchanging a few words.
Jian Ning waved her hand, and a large barrel appeared on the ground.
Inside were lively shrimp and small fish. The wild duck stretched its neck to look, quacking and struggling to get up. But its whole body was numb and it couldn't move at all, so it quacked loudly in frustration.
"Keep your voice down, it'll be over soon." Its barking made Jian Ning's ears hurt.
He pulled a healing talisman from his pocket and slapped it on the wild duck. If he didn't use some methods, it would probably take several hours before it could move again, which would be a huge waste of time.
As soon as the talisman was on her body, Wild Duck felt all her strength suddenly return.
With a puzzled look in his small eyes, he rolled over and got up, wiggling his bottom as he went to the bucket and started eating the small fish with gusto. It seemed to taste good, as he ate while making satisfied gurgling noises.
