Chapter 230 Searching for New Food Crops
There is a cliff mountain to the west of the Black Iron Forest.
Its mountains are not very steep, but their mountain appearance is somewhat peculiar.
The further you go up the mountain, the more granite is distributed, and many are even directly exposed without any soil or vegetation coverage.
At the top of the mountain, there is a bare stone forest.
After Ronin saw this mountain, he thought of making it the lair of Carlos.
On this day, he came to the foot of Yashi Mountain and called out to the dragon through a contract for the first time.
The connection between souls is very strange. Although one person and one dragon are not sure how far away they are, Ronin can feel that with his call, Carlos is approaching here at an extremely fast speed.
Not long after, a black spot appeared on the horizon and expanded at an extremely fast speed. Within a few breaths, a huge figure appeared in the sky.
Before it even landed, Taoyunju felt its breath and neighed uneasily.
With a third-level Warcraft bloodline and training, such a war horse will not panic under normal circumstances unless it can't help itself.
This is true for the Cloud Riding Horse, let alone Tom's mount.
This ordinary war horse seemed to be trembling all over, raising its front hooves uneasily and wanting to leave. If Tom hadn't held the reins firmly and comforted him, he might have run away.
Phew~
Carlos folded his wings and swooped down, creating a gust of wind before slowly landing in front of Ronin.
"Master, you call me!"
Its voice seems to be much more cheerful than before, and it seems that it has been enjoying itself recently.
In fact, in the past half month, Carlos has figured it out.
By following the master in front of you, you not only have full freedom, but you can also get great help from him in improving your strength.
Especially the latter, this ability to instantly increase its strength and save it decades of training time is really incredible.
If you take Luo Ning as the main one, not only will it not be a loss, but it will also bring great benefits.
"I haven't seen you for half a month. You seem to be a little bigger?"
Luo Ning said with a smile.
In addition to his large size, Luo Ning also noticed that the opponent's level progress had increased by 3 points, and it was now (3/12500).
At this rate, it will become a level seven monster in more than a hundred years.
Um……
It can only be said that although the dragon is powerful, the process of becoming stronger is a bit slow.
Carlos looked back at his body, which also felt a little bigger.
"Maybe it's because I've eaten so well recently that I've replenished some of the nutrients I lacked during that period."
A giant dragon that is more than two hundred years old would normally develop much larger than what it is now.
"No more gossip. There are two main reasons why I called you here today."
Luo Ning pointed to the mountain peak ahead, "I plan to use this place as your lair. You can come back and live there for a few days when you are free, so that the nearby monsters will not dare to easily set foot in the town where humans live."
Carlos glanced at the mountain peak. It was not opposed to settling here. On the contrary, it preferred the open-air environment, which made it feel comfortable and free.
"Don't worry, Master, as long as I'm here, the monsters won't dare to come close."
Carlos vowed, "After we parted that day, I ate a big black bear here. The aura it gave off was enough to make the nearby monsters flee."
Not to mention its dragon power, just speaking of strength, a level 6 dragon is enough to make many monsters retreat.
Other monsters know that there is a giant dragon living here, so naturally they don't dare to approach easily.
After saying this, Ronin asked Carlos to take him on a tour of the swamp.
This was something he had wanted to do since he got Swamp Town, but it was a pity that he didn't have the conditions at the time.
Traveling through the vast swamp on foot is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also dangerous. Even if you ride a horse, there are no well-established roads, and the environment in the swamp is prone to horse hooves rotting.
Now that Carlos's physical strength has almost recovered, riding him around is not only convenient, but also fast.
Luo Ning visited the swamp this time. In addition to wanting to get a general idea of the scope of the swamp, he also wanted to find something he wanted.
The dragon groaned lowly and flew into the sky with Luo Ning in the blink of an eye.
On the ground, Tom, who was holding the cloud pony, was in a daze.
He thought back then, with his strength, he could compete with the lord, but now he was afraid that he would be knocked down if Carlos sneezed.
Luo Ning is now the one that all the extraordinary people and magicians in Wubei Territory look up to.
The giant dragon flew quickly and quickly crossed the mountain forest town, passed through the stone forest, and came to the sky above the swamp town.
After descending a little, Luo Ning saw that near the town, many local residents were mining biogas fertilizer in the swamp, and at the same time, they were regulating the swamp and creating new farmland.
Developing swamps is a bit more dangerous than reclaiming wasteland in the mountains.
Even though these swamps have been treated with magic by Luo Ning, there are still risks, ranging from injuries to being trapped in the quagmire or being bitten by snakes and losing their lives. These are all things that have happened.
But the residents need to work and survive, so even if they are worried about safety, they have to go on.
What's more, after dinner, villagers from several villages would compete with each other. If they fell too far behind, they would even be ridiculed. In this way, they would work even more sullenly.
Fortunately, the new lord is not as stingy as Leisen. Although the work they do is heavy, as long as they work hard, they will receive food subsidies, so eating and drinking is not a problem.
For Luo Ning, he not only wants to lead people to do their jobs well, but also wants to minimize accidents.
For this purpose, he also summoned Wilson, Serin, and several village chiefs and team leaders to discuss and formulate some safety plans.
For example, if someone is trapped in a quagmire, the rescue methods and steps, as well as the rescue materials such as long poles and hemp ropes that need to be prepared when starting work;
For example, if someone is bitten by a poisonous snake, how to deal with it to prevent the spread of toxicity, etc.
In addition, Elron also taught them some knowledge of detoxifying plants, so that they can pay more attention when starting work.
The dragon flew quickly and soon left the town and came to an area where few people go.
Compared with the landforms near the swamp town, the environment here is more primitive and rugged, and the sky is high and vast.
Thin and long rivers began to appear on the vast land. They crisscrossed and connected large and small lakes, forming a magnificent natural picture.
While overlooking the beautiful scenery, Ronin knew the value of this land.
If they were all developed, with the fertility of the soil here, this would be a huge granary in Wubei Territory.
"Descend a little more, slow down a little."
"Okay, Master."
Carlos's flying ability is amazing. He can maintain a low-altitude gliding posture with his wings open without flapping.
At a distance of fifty or sixty meters from the ground, Roning can see the situation below clearly.
Rice seedlings are the plants Roning wants to find this time.
The food in this world is mainly barley and wheat. Roning has never heard of rice.
I don't know if there is no rice here, or if there is such a crop, but it cannot be developed due to the low level of cultivation here.
The reason why Roning has such an idea is mainly because the species resources in the swamp are very rich.
There are many birds living here, they will bring a variety of seeds, and there are also many kinds of plants, plus the environment here is also suitable for rice growth.
If he really finds wild rice, it will be of great help to the development of the swamp town.
After all, growing wheat requires relatively dry soil and high drainage requirements, which increases the difficulty of reclamation for the people.
In contrast, rice prefers an environment with abundant water and soft soil, which greatly reduces the difficulty of reclamation in the swamp town.
Planting rice here will definitely yield more than wheat.
Although wheat and rice have different tastes and nutritional values, there will always be people who like them.
Moreover, it is not a bad thing for Wubeiling to have such a higher-yield food crop.
Of course, these are all hypotheticals, and everything depends on whether Ronin can find wild rice.
Carlos kept flying at a low altitude, and the speed was not fast.
Ronin did see a lot of green plants, but when he asked Carlos to land and observe carefully, he was disappointed again and again. These green plants were just weeds.
But he knew that the more so, the more patience he had to have.
It was only the middle of May, and even if there were wild rice here, it was still in the rice seedling state, and the height was not much different from weeds, so he had to observe carefully.
Carlos was a little confused, and didn't understand why the master was so interested in weeds. Compared with plants, he was more interested in meat.
It looked at the water nearby, and its intuition told it that there was a big creature underneath, but it was not hungry now.
Roning walked along the wetland for a distance, but did not see what he wanted, so he jumped on the dragon's back.
"Let's go, let's go to another place to have a look." (End of this chapter)
