Chapter 608: The Poor Female Beast World Becomes the King (22)
That night, a large number of rat workers gathered near the mine.
The rats are natural mining experts. They can easily go down the mine in their original form and then change back to human form. They are hardworking, cooperative, smart, and most importantly, loyal to the Rat Queen and the Beast God.
In modern times, Jin Shu would never be able to gather such helpers.
The remaining half of the rats began to dig and refine coal mines throughout the mountain.
Jin Shu is quite proficient and familiar with the entire process of mining, refining, and all the detailed procedures within the process.
Here, she once again thanked her former self for being knowledgeable and versatile.
After all the processes were divided and arranged in detail, Jin Shu promoted several supervisors.
Then in the next training phase, she would do it herself and train in groups.
After all, this job is very dangerous. Even the rats will inevitably encounter various unexpected situations. In order to minimize the injury rate, Jin Shu took advantage of the static time and made safety equipment for the rats with thorny hemp bark and other materials that can be found in the forest.
After spending a little more time together, Jin Shu discovered that this obese rat queen with almost no feet bent over was actually a little girl who was not yet an adult.
"We rats are all anxious, so it is normal for you to misunderstand."
"So? Do you mean for me to find a male partner for you?"
"Yes, I don't like rats. I like lions and tigers. You are so powerful, help me."
Jin Shu looked at her with a serious tone.
"Rats and tigers cannot produce offspring. You are the rat queen. You have to consider your next generation."
The meaning of the existence of the rat queen is not to reproduce in large quantities.
But the rat queen in front of her doesn't like this very much.
"I was born the Queen of Rat, but I would rather not be one.
I like strong men like tigers and lions. Even if it's not for having children, I'd be happy to find one to look at me every day.
If you help me, I'll give you another fifty laborers."
"Okay, deal."
Jin Shu remembered that there were traces of a tribe of beasts on another hill.
She planned to go out and try her luck.
Although the probability was small, surveying the map was Jin Shu's job anyway. She knew better than anyone what treasures she could encounter during the survey.
The mountain she was in now had been studied by Jin Shu.
Which piece was the territory of which tribe, and she even knew the nests of poisonous insects, snakes and ants.
So this time, she planned to go a little further, anyway, she had more time.
This time, she brought the snake venom she had exchanged at the market before, as well as the antidote she had researched.
After packing up her things, Jin Shu set off on the road to another hill.
After leaving Shihe, the situation ahead was quite unfamiliar to Jin Shu, but she had experience, and even if she entered a completely unfamiliar territory, she could start planning her next route in a clear and orderly manner.
On the first day, Jin Shu found a nest of frozen snakes.
Such a day is indeed too difficult for cold-blooded animals.
The snake tribe should have started migrating, and on the way of migration, there will be weak ones left alone.
For example, this nest of little snakes, it is obvious that their physique is too weak and the survival rate is not high. Seeing that they are hopeless, the tribe abandoned them.
Jin Shu took these dozen little snakes out of the snow and stuffed them all into the animal skin backpack she carried with her.
Snakes have low body temperatures, so even if they are thrown in the snow, they will not be frozen to death for a while.
After that, Jin Shu did not go any deeper, but took the nest of snakes back home, and then boiled a pot of herbal soup, soaked it with linen when the temperature of the soup was right, and finally wrapped the frozen snakes with the wet linen.
During this period, Jin Shu kept the kang under the bed burning vigorously, and the hypothermic snakes were placed on a thick animal fur blanket to wait for them to warm up.
When the next day dawned, Jin Shu went to check on the snakes.
I thought that at most half of the snakes in this nest would survive, but Jin Shu did not expect that the snakes of this beast tribe would have such a strong vitality.
If it were ordinary snakes, they would have died eight hundred times in such a cold day and frozen for so long.
And all the dozen snakes in front of me survived.
All these snakes were abandoned not long after they hatched, so when they saw Jin Shu for the first time after waking up, they regarded her as their mother.
When they saw her coming, they swam over excitedly with their tails wagging.
Because the snakes were too small, Jin Shu could not tell what species they were.
But she found that these little snakes had venom glands on their back teeth, and they were probably a group of venomous snakes.
The glands of the little snakes are not fully developed yet, but they bite people whenever they see them.
In addition to Jin Shu, Ah Qi and the curious Liang Xu and Ah Hai were bitten.
After being bitten, Ah Qi said indifferently.
"The little snakes are not venomous, it's okay."
Then within three seconds, she fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth.
Fortunately, Jin Shu took the snake venom from the little snakes in advance to make an antidote, and quickly fed it to Ah Qi.
Since then, Ah Qi would stay away from them every time he fed them, and would only get close when he had to, and would wear something with the scent of Jin Shu on his body.
Liang Xu and Ah Hai, who were also bitten, had the same symptom, and the poison took effect very quickly.
After taking the antidote, the two of them looked at the nest of snake cubs that were only as thick as fingers with lingering fear, still in disbelief.
"How can such a small snake get such powerful venom?"
The venom of this adult snake is nothing more than that!
What's more, this is a little snake that has just hatched out of its shell, and its venom glands have not yet fully developed.
If they were given a bite like this when they grew up, they would probably burp without even having a chance to take medicine.
For this reason, Aqi specially took out the secret books handed down from her ancestors and studied them.
In the end, she really found out the origin of this little snake.
"This should be the Mountain King Snake. It will be as thick as my thigh when it grows up. It is very venomous. It belongs to a very powerful group on the Orc Continent.
But this kind of snake has a weakness, that is, the colder the weather, the less toxic it is.
It was probably because of the abnormal temperature this year that they were so weak that they fled in a hurry when their enemies came to their door.
After the bodies of this litter of snakes recovered, their toxicity also recovered. "
Jin Shu nodded.
"Then keep it and help me look after my house in the future to prevent wild beasts from coming down the mountain to eat my pigs."
Ah Qi couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
“I don’t know how many pigs it takes just to feed them food.”
Snake babies eat quite a lot.
Jin Shu is also generous. No matter how much she can eat, she will eat it with open arms and grow long.
