Chapter 124 Naughty Child

After inspecting the shellfish farm on the beach, Yang Yi returned to the fishman village.

Yang Yi touched his stomach and walked straight to the hotel.

A group of fishmen in the hotel were gathered behind the counter of the stove. A small iron pot was placed on the stove. Soup Spoon carefully turned the food in the pot with a spatula.

A rich aroma wafted out from the iron pot, with a hint of herbal flavor. This was Soup Spoon's masterpiece - herbal baked eggs.

Two fishmen followed Soup Spoon and carefully observed his every move. One fishman with D qualifications had the specialty of "dexterous hands", and the other fishman with E qualifications had the specialty of "craftsmanship". Yang Yi specially sent them to learn from Soup Spoon.

After all, the hotel had to do business with the outside world, and it couldn't always be surrounded by a large group of fishmen in the future, so Yang Yi sent these two fishmen to be chef apprentices. After they finished their studies, the fishmen in the village would go to these two apprentices if they wanted to eat the cooked food.

Of course, Yang Yi's idea was actually a selfish one, that is, from now on, chef Tang Shao would have more time to cook delicious food for him, the village chief.

"Village chief, I just made a herbal baked egg."

Tang Shao happily presented the finished herbal baked egg to Yang Yi, and two chef apprentices neatly placed plates and knives and forks on the table in front of Yang Yi.

Murlocs usually don't use any tableware when eating. These knives and forks were originally prepared for guests in the hotel, but Yang Yi, the village chief of the murloc village, always wanted to be different in order to show his status.

A herbal baked egg was only about the size of an adult's fist. Facing the delicious food, Yang Yi sat upright, holding a fork in his left hand and a knife in his right hand.

With a swipe, the herbal baked egg was split in half by the table knife, and then Yang Yi put half of the herbal baked egg into his mouth with a fork.

Baji, Baji.

Yang Yi opened and closed the murloc's big mouth and chewed the herbal baked egg.

"Well, not bad, Tang Shao's herbal baked eggs are getting better and better."

A portion of herbal baked eggs went into Yang Yi's stomach in two bites. He licked his fish lips and asked, "Tang Shao, where did the small eggs for making herbal baked eggs today come from?"

Tang Shao was very happy to hear Yang Yi praise his cooking of herbal baked eggs. He smiled and replied, "Village chief, it was the fish people in the village who went out to find them."

Yang Yi looked at the little fish people around him, and they nodded one after another.

"You little bastards, you all act like you're going to jail when you go to school, but you're very active when it comes to eating, and you even ran out of the village to steal eggs." Yang Yi laughed and scolded.

These little fish people didn't actually steal many eggs. Yang Yi looked at them looking at him with their big round eyes and felt a little soft-hearted.

"This lord is merciful and will leave one for you."

Yang Yi was defeated by the pitiful round eyes of a group of little fishmen, thinking that as a lord he should take care of the young, so he finally left the remaining one for these little fishmen.

A group of little fishmen were wary of Yang Yi, the village chief, while happily sharing a portion of herbal baked eggs. At this time, a patrolling fishman and several little fishmen ran into the hotel in a panic.

"Village chief, the little fishmen were attacked." The patrolling fishman reported immediately.

"Village chief, there are many big birds. Village chief, the two bosses are surrounded." Several little fishmen spoke at once, each of them looked panicked.

"The little fishmen sisters in the village went to steal eggs, but were surrounded by big birds?" Yang Yi finally figured out what happened from the little fishmen's quarrels.

Now that Benbolba and Mojimus are both in school and training camp, the two little murloc sisters have become the leaders of the little murlocs in the village. They often take the little murlocs to climb trees and steal bird nests and eggs.

"Where are they surrounded? Take the murlocs to rescue them."

Yang Yi quickly gave the order and personally took the murlocs to rescue them. These two little murloc sisters have great potential. It would be too unfair if they died because of stealing eggs.

"Hey, the little murlocs in the village are always worrying. It's not easy to throw Benbolba, the naughty child, into school and training camp. It hasn't been long since a new generation of naughty children came out to cause trouble. Are all the children of the murlocs raised like this? The children of the murlocs are born but no one raises them. Do we have to let the murlocs in the village form families or something?"

Yang Yi thought wildly while taking the murlocs in the village to the scene of the incident.

This time, the little murlocs went to the southwest of the Thorntooth Village, that is, the foot of the Thunder Peak west of the hotel to steal eggs.

There are two peaks near the Thorn Village, namely the Thorn Ridge in the northwest and the Thunder Peak in the southwest. These two peaks are very different.

The north of the Thorn Ridge was originally full of thorny jungles of wild boars, and the south and east of the mountain were a wide highland plain, where many lions, velociraptors, zebras, vultures and other animals lived.

To the east of the Thunder Peak, near the direction of the Thorn Village, is a narrow grassland area. Although there are some lions, velociraptors and vultures living on the grassland, the number is not large. To the west of the Thunder Peak is the Dead Water Oasis, one of the three major oases in the Barrens, which is currently occupied by the Kokar Centaur.

A few little fishmen led Yang Yi and the others to a big crooked tree at the foot of Thunder Peak. They saw several vultures circling above the crown of the crooked tree, and several velociraptors were surrounding the crooked tree, fighting with each other to bite the corpse of a vulture on the ground.

On the trunk of the crooked tree, several murlocs hugged each other. The murloc sisters stood on the trunk to defend against the vulture's air attack.

A vulture swooped down towards the murloc on the trunk, grabbing the murloc with its sharp black claws. If any murloc was caught by this pair of claws, he would be either dead or injured.

Snap!

Bang!

The murloc sisters cooperated well, and two water arrows hit the swooping vulture almost at the same time. After being attacked by both, the vulture fell under the tree and became a delicious meal for the velociraptor.

After casting their skills, the murloc sisters fell down on the tree trunk in a depressed mood. Their strength was not enough to use spells continuously.

"Go and rescue them."

Yang Yi gave the order, and dozens of fighting fishmen who followed rushed over. Several clever velociraptors fled in a flash when they saw the situation was not good. The remaining one was reluctant to give up the delicious food falling from the sky, and this greedy velociraptor suffered. It was trapped in the fishman's net and captured alive.

The little fishman on the crooked tree was rescued. Fortunately, all the little fishmen who came out to steal eggs were there, and there were no casualties.

"You bunch of little bastards, if you cause such a thing again next time, let the velociraptors and vultures eat you." Yang Yi scolded these angry little fishmen.

"Village chief, we were wrong."

"Village chief, I won't dare to do it next time."

...

The little fishmen hurriedly admitted their mistakes and nodded desperately. The two little fishmen sisters even nodded at the same frequency.

Yang Yi knew the character of these little fishmen. If they could really correct their mistakes, they would not be the unlucky children of the fishmen.

Yang Yi scolded them, and then asked the village murlocs to tie up the velociraptors they had just captured and prepare to go back. At this time, two little murloc sisters took out two large eggs from the bushes under the tree.

The two little murlocs presented their treasures to Yang Yi in unison: "Village Chief, these are the eggs we found. They must be delicious if you use them to make herbal baked eggs."

The two little murlocs each held a large egg in their arms. Yang Yi took a closer look and found that the two eggs were larger than ordinary velociraptor eggs, and the eggshells were covered with fine lines.

[Grassland Kodo Eggs]

"They are actually two Kodo eggs." Yang Yi found an unexpected surprise after looking at the two eggs with the Lord's Eye.

Kodos are large beasts that have both strength and endurance. What's more rare is that they are also gentle beasts.

Many merchants on the Kalimdor continent use Kodos as the main force for transporting goods. The Tauren even specially cultivate some smaller and faster Kodos as combat mounts.

"Where did you find these eggs? Are there any others?" Yang Yi asked.

"There are some over there." The little fishman sisters answered in unison.

Yang Yi followed the little fishman sisters along the foot of Thunder Peak and found a small valley a few minutes later.

The ground in the small valley was overgrown with weeds. More than a dozen Kodo beasts were pacing in the valley. These Kodo beasts were breathing white air from their nostrils and looked a little irritable.

Yang Yi found that there were many circular nests made of gravel and soil in the weeds on the ground. These were Kodo beasts' nests for laying eggs.

"There are many Kodo beast eggs here. It turns out that it is now the season for Kodo beasts in the barren land to lay eggs."

Yang Yi realized that it was the peak period for Kodo beasts to lay eggs. There were dozens of Kodo beast eggs in this small valley. It is estimated that there are other Kodo beasts at the foot of Thunder Peak.

"With so many adult kodo beasts here, how did you steal these two eggs?" Yang Yi asked. It was basically impossible for two little fishmen to steal eggs under the eyes of so many kodo beasts.

"Just now, many kodo beasts went to chase the centaurs, so we ran in and took two big eggs." The two little fishmen answered.

It turned out that the Kokar centaurs entrenched in the Dead Water Oasis near Thunder Peak had long known that this was the peak period for kodo beasts to gather, so they took this opportunity to hunt kodo beasts.

Indigenous people like centaurs have lived on this land for generations and have a good understanding of the habits of various animals on this land.

Yang Yi nodded, and he instructed the dozen or so fighting fishmen who followed him: "Now I will give you a task, find all the places where kodo beasts lay eggs nearby, and don't alarm these kodo beasts."

Although kodo beasts are gentle herbivores, they rarely attack if they are not provoked, but if someone touches their eggs and cubs, they will immediately become furious.

With the huge size of adult Kodo beasts, they are not easy to deal with when they are angry, and they may also encounter Kokar Centaurs. If Yang Yi wants more Kodo beast eggs, he needs to think carefully.
