Chapter 8 Always believe in the Lord! (Please read more!)
[Lord, is this thing really viable? 】
After a lot of physical work, the goblins were all hungry, and a [hunger] sign appeared on their heads to remind them.
They gathered around the fruit garden and looked at the buried seeds, all of them very puzzled.
Although they are not very intelligent, they also know that sunlight is needed to grow plants. This cave is dark and can only support moss, poisonous mushrooms, and lichens. Can fruit seeds really survive if they are planted here?
The goblins couldn't understand the lord's troublesome behavior in order to grow fruits.
[You idiots, how dare you question this lord? 】
Gu An did not give an explanation, because there was no way to explain this matter, unless he made up a story to deceive the goblins.
But it's not necessary, and it's too troublesome. It's just good for subordinates to carry out orders, there's no need to let them know too much.
[Always believe in the lord! 】
Facing Gu An's rebuke, the goblins were frightened and immediately stood in a straight row, expressing their loyalty with loud voices.
【That’s pretty much it. 】
Seeing that the goblins were very aware, Gu An nodded with satisfaction, and then set off to the second small cave.
Gu An had already asked the goblins to dig an empty pit here that was 60 square meters in size and 1.5 meters deep.
He activated the prop [Clean Spring Water] at the center point of the empty pit. In an instant, a clear spring slowly gushes out, and then turns into countless thin streams of water, as light and elegant as filaments.
The clean and thorough water gradually filled the entire hole. Gu An tried to take a sip. It was very sweet and it was genuine mineral water.
After tasting the taste, he lifted up a clean wooden bucket and took out a bucket full of water from the spring.
As the bucket was drawn out, the level of the spring water dropped a little, but it soon rose again.
After doing such a small experiment, Gu An was sure that the spring water produced by this prop was in unlimited supply and would not dry up.
In this case, there will be no need to save anything on water sources in the future.
When the goblins saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded.
What a clean water source!
How did the lord suddenly appear? Is it magic? !
Even the fire goblins and ice goblins with mutant abilities were shocked.
They need to consume magic power every time they use their skills, and they will be overdrawn in magic power after a few uses. However, the clear spring created by the lord looks like an endless stream.
What a magical spell this is!
The goblins sighed one after another, the lord is indeed a lord, and he has magical power that they cannot understand at all.
[Long live the lord! 】
You no longer have to worry about water problems in the future!
With admiration in their hearts, the three junior goblins cheered.
Water is very precious.
In this jungle, the waterway is far away from the goblin lair, and there are adventurers roaming around during the day, and all kinds of powerful monsters dominate the world at night.
It was very difficult for the weak junior goblins to obtain water sources before the lord Gu An. Every time they went out to fetch water, they had a narrow escape.
Now that there is an inexhaustible source of clean water, the junior goblins were very happy and clapped their hands together in celebration.
With the lord here, a better life seems to be just around the corner!
[You guys remember, you have to get water from here every day and pour it into the fruit garden. 】
Gu An assigned the task of watering to three junior goblins.
[Lord, please rest assured! 】
After seeing the lord's magical method, the junior goblin has firmly believed in Gu An, and he will definitely be able to grow fruits even in a dark cave.
The three junior goblins were very motivated to get food. They each lifted the barrel and started working immediately.
Clean water was poured on the land and soon seeped into it. The dry yellow soil turned into deep yellow. The seeds vigorously absorbed water through their roots, and soon broke out of the soil and grew green leaves.
[The seeds get a clean water source]
[The growth cycle is significantly reduced]
[Twenty-four hours until maturity]
After the goblin watered the goblin, Gu An received a notification from the system that the fruit would mature in twenty-four hours.
"It's still too slow."
Gu An clutched his stomach, a strong sense of hunger enveloped his whole body. The fruit still had twenty-four hours to mature, so he couldn't wait any longer, so he decided to let the mutated goblin go out of the cave to look for food first.
Anyway, Tiya and the three of them had been missing for a short time, so the Adventurer's Guild would not have noticed the anomaly so early and sent people to investigate.
As long as the mutated goblins don't run far away, there shouldn't be any danger in looking for food near the cave entrance.
[You three, go out of the cave now to find some food and come back. 】
[Remember, don’t run far away, just look for it near the cave. 】
After receiving Gu An's order, the three mutated goblins immediately took action and left the nest one after another.
All the goblins performed their duties, and Gu An returned to the hall and waited quietly on the stone seat, taking a nap by the way.
Another hour passed.
Gu An heard a rush of footsteps while taking a nap, which woke him up from his sleep.
There was a noise outside, and he came to the small hole where the fruits were planted to check the situation.
【What happened to it? 】
[Report to the lord, it was just attacked by the enemy outside. 】
The lewd goblin had serious wounds on his chest and abdomen, with green blood flowing out. It looked like his injuries were serious.
Under Gu An's inquiry, the evil fire goblin briefly explained the situation.
It turned out that after leaving the cave, the three of them split up and looked for food near the cave.
When it was about to end, the lustful goblin suddenly let out a scream. The fire goblin and the ice goblin rushed to the scene as soon as they heard it.
It turns out that a demonic wolf attacked the lewd goblin.
The demonic wolf was very powerful, and the lewd goblin had no power to resist due to its low base value when facing the same sex.
Fortunately, the evil fire goblin and the ice goblin arrived in time and jointly fought off the demon wolf, allowing the lustful goblin to save his life.
[Boss, there is very little food near the cave, we only found this little. 】
The evil fire goblin stretched out his red palm, holding seven green fruits that were not yet fully ripe, and three mushrooms that were not too fat.
The fire goblin lowered his head when handing over the food, apparently feeling ashamed for not bringing back more.
Seeing this scene, Gu An felt a little sore in his head.
The affection between monsters is not much worse than that between humans.
He stretched out his hand and touched the fire goblin's head like he was pampering a child.
[It’s okay, you’ve done a great job. 】
Gu An took the food and distributed three mushrooms and three green fruits to the fire goblin, ice goblin, and lustful goblin.
[The lewd goblin takes good care of his injuries, and sooner or later the demon wolf will avenge you. 】
[And you have worked hard on this trip, and these foods are your reward. 】
The mutated goblins took the food and were very moved.
The lord actually distributed all the mushrooms with the best quality, which was completely unexpected.
Their eyes were filled with tears, especially the lustful goblin, who beat his chest regardless of his injuries, as if to express that it was fine and that the lord did not need to worry.
[Eat quickly, it depends on you more to protect the territory. 】
The mutated goblins ate the food, with tears in their eyes, and secretly vowed to work hard for the lord.
Gu An distributed the remaining fruits to the junior goblins one by one, leaving only one green fruit for himself.
He took a bite of the green fruit in his hand. It was slightly astringent and very unpalatable, but he did not want to waste it. After all, the goblins risked their lives to bring it back.
After experiencing this incident, Gu An also realized it more deeply.
Food is really scarce near the cave.
It is very dangerous for goblins to leave their lair in search of food.
When the fruits mature, we must continue to sow seeds as soon as possible to form a virtuous cycle. The more fruit beds should be planted, the better.
At the same time, in addition to humans, there are many powerful monsters in the forest, who are both enemies and not friends.
It seems that improving the strength of goblins must be put on the agenda as soon as possible...
