Chapter 51 Black Jade Dragon Turtle (Blue)
“Your surname is Lu, are you a scholar?”
Xia Tian said to Li Ru who was brought over by the soldiers.
"Yes, I have been studying in Xialu Ru for a few years, and I have met the lord!"
Li Ru, who was wearing a black gown, felt a little uneasy in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.
"Very good. Since you are a scholar, you must be very smart. Now my territory is facing some problems. Can you find a way to solve it?"
Xia Tian looked at him with a smile.
Since Li Ru didn't want to disclose his identity, he didn't force it.
But this kind of talent is good at both strategy and internal affairs.
Since you have joined the territory, you must play some role!
"This...can you please elaborate, Lord?"
Li Ru met Xia Tian with a smiling gaze.
I don’t know why, but my anxious mood suddenly relaxed a lot, and then I said seriously.
So, Xia Tian gave Li Ru a general explanation of the current lack of meat.
“Well, Lord, I wonder if there are people in the territory who are good at fishing and hunting?”
Li Ru thought for a moment and then said with a smile.
“Well, fishing and hunting!”
Xia Tian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
Yes, hunting is not allowed, but fishing is perfectly fine!
The raids by the ghost vultures and centaurs can only clean up the creatures on land, but the creatures in the water are not affected at all.
"We passed a river on the way here. I saw that the water was relatively clear and there were a lot of fish swimming in it. If we can find a way to set up a net to intercept it, we should be able to harvest a lot of fish every day!"
Li Ru continued.
As a military advisor, it is a basic quality to be aware of the surrounding environment at all times.
Another advantage of hunting in rivers is that you don’t have to worry about “fishing out of the lake”.
After all, the river water is flowing and can bring a large number of fish every day.
There are also people who fish. Among the group of people recruited just now, there is a person with a green name who is proficient in "fishing". The only problem is that if you rely on manpower to fish, it is probably very difficult to get enough fish to feed six hundred people!
“However, who said that fishing must rely on humans?”
After receiving inspiration from Li Ru, Xia Tian was already confident.
He turned his eyes to a corner of the territory. That place was guarded by several soldiers trapped in the camp. The refugees from Qingfeng Village were not allowed to approach, and the sounds of roaring, biting, and chewing could be faintly heard inside. .
"Lü Ru, since you are a scholar, the book you read must have written about how to resettle these refugees... I am going to go to the river to check the situation. You and Hua Rong, Shen Lian, and Da Let’s resettle these refugees together!”
A few minutes later, Xia Tian, who was riding on the back of a black and white pheasant, spoke condescendingly to Li Ru.
"Lord, I..."
Li Ru's expression was a little confused.
He wanted to say, Lord, have you misunderstood "scholar"? Which book would teach this kind of thing?
It’s just that Xia Tian has already ridden on the black and white ferocious beast that he didn’t dare to approach, and together with Wu Song and eight soldiers trapped in the camp, an elite leader who tamed the black and white pheasants, plus a man who is good at fishing The elite leaders and citizens left together.
Li Ru looked at Xia Tian's leaving figure. After thinking for a moment, his temperament changed, giving him a sense of calmness and wisdom, and he walked towards the chaotic crowd!
……
Da, da, da.
Twelve black and white pheasants with strong bodies and ferocious shapes were running rapidly in the jungle. Their dragon-shaped claws can provide stability far beyond that of artiodactyls in the jungle, and can even easily climb trees and rocks!
The reason why Xia Tian personally participated in the operation was not just for fishing, but because he wanted to personally inspect it.
If the environment was more suitable, he decided to expand the territory a certain distance towards the river, preferably to cover the river.
In that case, you can consider cutting down the trees along the river and reclaiming them into fields.
Fishing is only a stopgap measure in the end. If Cong wants to truly establish a foothold in the eternal land, the traditional Chinese farming skills cannot be discarded. The seventh-level black and white pheasant is very fast and can run in the jungle. After about three miles, we came to a river with gurgling water!
The width of the water surface is about ten meters, and it can only be regarded as a small river, or even a stream.
However, in the relatively clear river water, you can indeed see a lot of fish swimming in various shapes!
Black, white, red, green; jellyfish-like, bug-like, spider-like... many of them are creatures that do not exist on the earth at all.
Howl!
After arriving at the water's edge, black and white pheasants seemed to become excited, howling and rushing into the river.
As creatures evolved from the combination of dragons and chickens, these creatures are not afraid of water. Instead, relying on the "buoyancy" exuded by their white feathers, they can even run briefly on the water at high speed, reaching long distances. With its dragon-shaped mouth, it picked up the fish and shrimp in the river that had no time to escape. Its sharp teeth easily crushed the scales and carapace of the fish and shrimp before swallowing them into its belly.
"Let them not just focus on eating, but go catch fish..."
However, bringing them here in summer is not just for bathing and foraging.
Let the person in charge of domestication direct the black and white pheasants to divide into two teams, drive them up and down the river, and gather a large number of swimming fish together.
Then the eight soldiers trapped in the camp cast nets for fishing under the guidance of elite fishermen.
This net was brought here by the elite fishermen from Qingfeng Village. The coverage area is not too large, but after the fish are concentrated, several thousand kilograms of fish can be pulled up in one net.
Of course, not all types of these fish can be eaten.
Just like the pufferfish on Earth, it may taste very delicious, but it also dies very quickly!
Therefore, after entering the Eternal Land, it is not easy for ordinary people to survive by fishing.
But as a lord, Xia Tian can clearly see whether the "Eye of Insight" can be eaten as soon as it is opened, so naturally there is no such problem.
And in order to ensure that some dangerous fish can be successfully caught, the only fishing net currently available will not be destroyed.
Xia Tian specially used the "Midas Touch to Gold" to strengthen this fishing net to a "golden" quality, greatly improving the quality of the fishing net. Even eighth- and ninth-level creatures cannot escape easily once they are caught in the net!
In this way, the twelve black and white pheasants in charge were driven away, and the eight trapped soldiers cast nets to catch the fish. After several rounds, they easily harvested tens of thousands of kilograms of edible fish.
Xia Tian is also ready to give up.
After all, if you have too much fish, you won’t be able to finish it all at once.
Furthermore, living creatures cannot be brought into the lord’s space and require manpower to transport them back to the territory. It will be difficult to catch too many at once!
However, the accident happened at this time.
A black and white pheasant found a black "stone" about half the size of a table in the water. It stared curiously with its vertical-pupil eyes, stretched out its sharp beak and pecked it.
Boom!
The black stone did not change, sinking quietly and motionless at the bottom of the water.
Howl...
But the black and white pheasant refused to let go, still pecking at it with its beak, and even stretched out a paw to try to overturn the black stone, thinking that there might be something underneath!
"Crash..."
The black stone suddenly changed. A hole opened in it, and the black and white pheasant's protruding claws were bitten.
Then, half of the river bed began to tremble.
A huge turtle suddenly emerged from the soil. Its shell was the color of a black jade carving, with a layer of mysterious patterns on it. It was four or five meters wide. The so-called black stone was just Most of its body was covered by the mud of the river bed, leaving only the top of its head exposed.
