In Dikutun, in the Wolf Head Patio, in the potion field made of rotten wood, there are blooms of blood tooth fungi with flashing blood-red spots.
Druk, the ranger of the Catacombs, was introducing Russell to the Blood Tooth Fungus Potion Field in detail.
“During this period of time in Dikutun, we mobilized a large number of laborers to continuously dig the Langtou patio, and then moved the rotten wood to fertilize the fields. Now the Langtou patio, together with the various branch tunnels, is almost close to 150 acres.”
“Is the ice cap in the cave still strong?” Russell looked at the thick ice cap above his head, worried about whether it would collapse.
After all, the Wolf Head Patio was originally not that big, and the ice cap had enough support.
Now dozens of external passages have been cut out, and blood tooth fungi have been planted in these passages, which is equivalent to removing two-thirds of the support.
Drucker confidently replied: “Sir, the hot summer season is over soon. There are no problems with the ice cap now, and there will definitely be no problems in the future. Many of our villagers have lived in caves for many years, and they are not familiar with the ice cap. Very familiar.”
“As long as nothing goes wrong.” Russell nodded.
He was not willing to continue planting the blood tooth fungus in the Langtou patio.
However, experiments have been done before, and the most suitable place for blood tooth fungi to grow is the cold and humid environment in the cave.
Therefore, the Blood Tooth Fungus magic potion field cannot be moved to the potion farm for centralized cultivation. The only option is to continuously expand the Langtou patio and cultivate 150 acres of magic potion field.
Charles, who was accompanying him, said with a smile: “Sir, you don’t have to worry too much. Even if the Wolf Head Patio collapses, at most it will lose part of the potion field, and it will have little impact on the Blood Tooth Fungus Cordyceps and the surrounding high-quality Blood Tooth Fungus. “
There is no ice cover directly above the Langtou patio, so there is no need to worry about the danger of overturning.
“No matter what, you Cordyceps Guards must check the ice cap frequently, and pay special attention to the cracks in the ice cap,” Russell ordered.
Drucker immediately responded: “Yes, sir.”
“How is the output of this potion field recently?” Russell asked again.
It was Charles who answered: “There were three batches of mature blood tooth fungi, which were collected and transported to the manor’s courtyard. Then, along with the fluorescent mushrooms, they were sent to the Fluorescent Castle to make magic potions. The yield is higher than the fluorescent mushrooms.”
Fluorescent mushrooms and mushroom birds can theoretically affect 1,500 acres of land. However, the birch forest is only so big, and the newly planted trees have to grow.
In a short period of time, there cannot be much output.
But it’s okay.
After the elf evolves once, its lifespan is recalculated. Rosie the Mushroom Bird is only a 0-year-old bird at this time and can live for a long, long time.
“In the past few years, I’m afraid there won’t be much fluorescent mushroom production.” Russell sighed regretfully, “We still have to rely on annual dill, dandelions, and newly planted tobacco to provide the magic potion. ”
Plant in spring and harvest in autumn. Dill and dandelion will soon mature and can be picked in large quantities.
After picking, another crop can be planted before the end of the hot summer, and finally the second crop can be harvested before the ice age freezes.
Common crops, such as wheat, barley, lentils, etc., are basically grown once a year.
However, potions influenced by Cordyceps can easily be grown twice a year, and even some fast-growing potions can be grown three or four times a year.
Finished inspecting the potion field in Langtou Patio.
Russell waved his hand: “Let’s go to the Dakou Patio and see what the snowfield looks like in the hot summer.”
“Jiji!” The red-eyed rat king, who acted as Russell’s guard, was the first to respond.
Charles said cautiously: “Sir, why don’t you ask the Red-Eyed Rat King to send out the Sentinel Rat Team to investigate around the large patio, and then we can climb up and take a look at the snowfield.”
Catherine behind her sneered softly: “Your Excellency Charles, you are too nervous. The snow around the large patio has melted, especially in the surrounding snow forest. Many small animals are playing in it.”
“This is not called nervousness, this is called cautious.” Charles said seriously, “Knights certainly need to be brave and diligent, but at the same time they must also know how to assess the situation.”
Russell stopped the two people’s argument and said: “Just do what Charles wants. First send the Sentinel Rat Team to investigate…Red Eye, let your rat descendants go outside the big patio to investigate the environment.”
It’s not that Russell is timid.
Rather, he hopes to take this opportunity to hone the Sentinel Rat Team, and he will probably be promoted to a Grand Knight in three to five months.
After another half year of hard work and mastering the fighting spirit chain, you can make a contract with the Red-Eyed Rat King.
Dakou Patio is the deepest patio in Digutun.
After the group arrived.
The red-eyed rat king softly called out: “Chiji!”
Then there was a rustling sound in the passage, and then dozens or hundreds of mice, big and small, came over. They were afraid of humans, but were instinctively driven by the Rat King. They passed under everyone’s feet and gathered around the Red-Eyed Rat King.
The red-eyed rat king said softly again: “Chiji.”
The group of mice quickly climbed up the cave wall, and then disappeared one by one above the large patio.
“That’s so cool.” Catherine exclaimed when she saw this.
Charles chuckled: “This is the power of the Red-Eyed Rat King. Only a few talented beasts can become the Beast King.”
“I’m afraid you have to eat honey from bear bees. If you eat too much, you can grow into a beast king.” Catherine said.
“Original beast honey, this is a good thing, but unfortunately, the bearded Kenny’s skills are not up to par, and the bee colony has not grown so far. Even adults can’t taste a few mouthfuls of that honey… Naturally, we won’t have the chance to taste it. “Charles said regretfully.
The rats soon left and returned.
Then the Red-Eyed Rat King chirped at Russell. Russell understood and said with a smile: “It’s safe up there. Let’s go up together!”
After saying that, he jumped up, fighting energy gathered in his feet and legs, and his body rushed up like a sharp arrow, landing steadily on the edge of the patio entrance.
Then Russell’s knight retinue, as well as Catherine, Drucker and others jumped on.
Only Charles blushed, remembering the first time he came to Dakou Patio, he jumped several times without jumping up, and finally asked Russell for help before he was pulled up.
“Sir Charles, do you need help?” Tom, the knight’s retinue, looked down.
Charles wanted to say that he didn’t need it, but he touched his belly, which had grown bigger again, and gave in decisively: “Give me a hand, my body is relatively tall, and I’m a little short of a high jump… not much, just a little bit. ”
“I understand, just a little bit.” Tom laughed.
With Tom’s help, Charles finally climbed to the surface smoothly. At this time, Russell had already led a group of people out of the snow wall.
The snow wall can no longer be called a snow wall. Most of it has melted, forming uneven gaps.
At this moment, the Dakou Patio can be renamed the Huya Patio.
“Hmm.” Charles expanded his chest, followed the team as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile, “The temperature on the snowfield is actually no different from that in the cave. The snow on the surrounding ice caps has melted, and even the ground has been exposed. come out.”
“This year’s ice age retreated later, but this year’s warm season was hotter than in previous years,” Drucker said.
Russell turned around and glanced in the direction of Dikutun.
Originally, this place was supposed to be a complete frozen land, but with the birth of the clay dragon Rose, warmth began to rise from under the earth.
Then the warm season and the ice age alternated, and the area around the Youguang River Valley continued to freeze, melt, and erode the surface.
Eventually, a cave shape of mixed mud and ice was formed.
“While the weather is nice, let’s go for a walk in the snow forest.” Russell withdrew his gaze and looked at the snow forest not far away.
In the snow forest at this moment, there is no snow on the leaves. The originally lifeless dark green has been replaced by clusters of pink yellow-green, glowing with vitality. Birds and squirrels are happily feeding in the forest.
From time to time, cheerful cries sounded.
Maybe it’s for breeding and courting, or maybe it’s just fullness.
Stepping into the snow forest, Russell reached out and touched a cedar tree that had grown for an unknown number of years, and said with emotion: “Even in such a harsh environment in the snowfield, life can grow from the cracks. If things go on like this, why can’t we worry about the snow demon?” Clean it up.”
