Chapter 141 Corrosive Acid

Lu Xiaoming took his people to the inn to eat and drink. Not long after, Ouyang and Mu Xiaolan also received the bounty from the fishman merchant and walked out of the west gate of Ratchet Village.

Outside the west gate of Ratchet Village, two young men of similar age were sitting on the edge of the West Avenue. They were having a long conversation, talking about the overall plan for the future construction of Earth after the Cataclysm, and the beautiful Qin Kunhui who had just entered Ratchet Village not long ago.

"Nephew, look, the fishmen in Ratchet Village are going to post a new notice!" A young man was the first to discover that a fishman came out of Ratchet Village and was about to post a notice, and he shouted excitedly.

"It's really a new notice." Another young man also jumped up from the ground and quickly ran to the bulletin board.

"The fishman village wants to purchase a large amount of wood, especially oak at a high price. Uncle, let's go and notify the leader."

The two young men are members of the Holy Sword Knights. Their purpose of guarding the gate of Ratchet Village is to get the new movements of the fishmen in Ratchet Village as soon as possible.

The Holy Sword Knights were originally just a team formed by a few people for fun, but they made a fortune by getting the information that Ratchet Village offered a high reward for the Steel Bristle Wild Boar Fangs, so they now pay great attention to Ratchet Village.

The two young men smiled at each other, then ran away hand in hand.

Mu Xiaolan and Ouyang just came out of Ratchet Village at this time.

"Sister Lan, look, the Murloc Village has posted a new notice." Scarface Ajie was the first to find the new notice on the bulletin board after leaving Ratchet Village.

Mu Xiaolan walked over after hearing this.

...% ...

Yang Yi saw Ouyang and Mu Xiaolan walk out of Ratchet Village and came to the grocery store. He asked the Murloc merchant: "How many centaur ears did those outsiders bring just now? When did they first come to our Murloc Village?"

"Village chief, they brought fourteen centaur left ears this time. The first time I saw them was only three days ago. Now that human woman has entered our village's friendly list." The Murloc merchant replied.

"It has been included in the friendly list, which means that it only took three days to complete the transaction amount of one gold coin with Ratchet Village. Could it be that Mu Xiaolan also wants to get some benefits from Ratchet Village? Now all the adventurers with some strength have gone to Ashenvale to make war money. She suddenly has an idea about Ratchet Village at this time. What is her plan?" Yang Yi pondered. He knew Mu Xiaolan. This woman is a master who will not release the eagle until she sees the rabbit.

Mu Xiaolan is the goddaughter of the president of Qin Kun Club. She actually manages the affairs of Qin Kun Club in Azeroth. She has a large number of adventurers under her.

Now Mu Xiaolan does not take the people of Qin Kun Club to Ashenvale to find opportunities, but instead spends energy on a fishman village in the barren land. This has to make Yang Yi suspicious.

Yang Yi thought for a while and couldn't guess Mu Xiaolan's idea. At this time, the goblin merchant Rizarex came to Ratchet Village with his caravan again.

For a long time, the goblin merchant Rex has taken over a large part of the foreign trade of Ratchet Village, especially the trade with the indigenous people, which has made the goblin merchant's business bigger and bigger.

Now, this goblin merchant not only has his own cargo kodo, but he has also upgraded from the original level 3 merchant to a level 4 merchant.

"Hey, the village chief of the Ratchet Murloc Village. It's nice to see you, my friend." Rizarex shouted in his sharp and hoarse unique voice.

"It's nice to see you too, my friend." Yang Yi greeted the goblin merchant familiarly.

"I heard that the Kokar Centaur came to attack the Ratchet Village, but they were defeated by you. You Murlocs are really amazing." Rizarex said in an exaggerated tone.

The goblin merchant was well-informed. As soon as he heard that the centaur was defeated, he immediately took advantage of this rare opportunity to bring the caravan to the Ratchet Village.

"Well, we can't say that we defeated the centaurs. The fishmen in our Ratchet Village also suffered heavy casualties. You know, the centaurs run fast and are good at bow and arrow attacks, which makes them very difficult to deal with." Yang Yi said.

"Yes, these centaurs are very powerful, otherwise they would not be able to run rampant in the Barrens. But Rizarex has good news here. I heard that the orcs at the crossroads are going to join forces with the tauren to deal with the centaur tribe in the Dead Water Oasis." Rizarex said.

"Really?" Yang Yi was overjoyed. This was indeed good news for Ratchet Village.

Yang Yi has always insisted on the idea that there are tall people to support the sky when it falls. The fishman village is just a small force that has recently risen in the Barrens. It is the job of the orcs, a big force in the Barrens, to solve the Kokar centaurs that are causing trouble everywhere.

If it weren't for the Kokar centaurs attacking Ratchet Village, Yang Yi would never take the initiative to provoke them at present.

"I heard that Regosa Deadgate will lead the troops this time. He is the chief commander of the tribe's operations against the centaurs in the Barrens. I think the centaurs in Deadwater Oasis are in trouble this time." Rizarex continued.

"That's great." Yang Yi said. He thought that the tribe seemed to be serious this time. It is very likely that Baine Bloodhoof persuaded the orcs after returning to the crossroads.

Although the tauren of the tribe love peace, they are not soft-hearted when facing hostile races such as centaurs, especially the young Baine Bloodhoof who is still at an age of sharpness.

After chatting with the goblin merchant for a while, Yang Yi began to count the goods.

This time, the goblin merchants still brought a lot of weapons and equipment, including several shields. In addition, there were several construction drawings, more than a dozen packages of materials, and many scattered products.

Yang Yi asked the fishman merchant to come over and take charge of these transactions.

"My friend, our Murloc Village is currently short of shields. Please bring more large shields of ordinary quality when you come next time." Yang Yi took out two gold coins and handed them to the goblin merchant as a deposit.

"No problem, my friend." The goblin merchant grinned immediately when he saw the gold coin. He quickly reached out and grabbed the gold coin in his palm.

After the murloc merchant counted the goods, he took the goblin merchant to the grocery store. Now when the goblin merchant comes to Ratchet Village, he usually brings a lot of goods from Ratchet Village and transports them back to the crossroads for sale.

Yang Yi held several construction drawings in his hands. These construction drawings were general architectural drawings, including prisons, jewelry workshops, drugstores, food and beverage stores and other shops.

The development of a village requires many different buildings. Waiting to get the construction drawings through luck and lottery sometimes takes too much time, so Yang Yi paid goblin merchants to bring these drawings.

For Ratchet Village, the biggest disadvantage of directly purchased architectural drawings is that there are no system special effects.

"You guys, take these bags of wild thornroot grass to the fishmen who grow mushrooms. And you guys, take the remaining bags and follow me."

After reading the construction drawings, Yang Yi put them away, and then he took several fishmen to a cave in Ratchet Village.

This cave was dug by Yang Yi not long ago by kobold slaves. The cave is currently used as a temporary pharmacy.

The fish-man ambusher Swart is refining poison in a dimly lit cave. He is now a level 1 poison maker.

Thieves usually smear poison on their weapons to increase their lethality, and they are experts at making poisons. Murloc Ambushers are no exception. Swart will now make [Wounding Ointment] and [Slowing Ointment].

Both of these ointments can be smeared on weapons, so that when fighting an enemy, just scratching the enemy's skin with the ointment-smeared blade can poison the opponent.

[Wounding Ointment] can cause injured enemies to suffer additional toxic damage, and the toxins in [Slowing Ointment] can slow people's movement. These are two very practical poisons in combat.

Swart was refining poison. As a fish-man ambusher, he was always alert at any time, so he immediately noticed Yang Yi's arrival.

"Village Chief." Swart stood up.

"Swat, I brought you the materials for making poison." Yang Yi said.

Except for going to the Murloc Ambushers camp as a trainer in the morning, this Swart spends most of his time hiding in this dark cave. Even Yang Yi rarely sees him.

The fishman who came with Yang Yi placed several bags on the ground. These bags contained common poisons such as [Whiptail Scorpion Venom], [Small Poison Sac], [Acidic Poison Sac], etc. They are all recorded in the manual given to Ratchet Village by the undead apothecary Hebram at the Crossroads.

The undead tribe's manual for training low-level poison makers records many strange poisons, many of which cannot be purchased from merchants. Therefore, Yang Yi found several poison-making formulas from the manual that could easily purchase the required materials, and then asked the goblin merchants to help purchase the goods.

Swart is a C-qualified fishman and has the "Enhanced Poison" specialty, so he is very good at making poisons, and the poisons he makes are even more toxic. Moreover, Swart also has the specialty of "Learning Ability", which allows him to make rapid progress in learning the poison maker's manual. He has now become a level 1 poison maker.

After receiving the poison-making materials, Swart nodded and expressed his gratitude to Yang Yi. He and Yang Yi, the village chief, had never spoken a few words together, but he had always been grateful to Yang Yi for accepting him.

"Swat, our Murloc Village has to deal with the lobster men recently and is in urgent need of a large amount of [corrosive acid]. You should refine this poison first." Yang Yi said to Swart.

"Yes." Swart nodded.

Yang Yi has already thought about it. The lobster man relies on the shrimp shell to protect his body and is able to run rampant. However, the shrimp shell can withstand ordinary weapons but cannot stop the highly corrosive acid. Therefore, he plans to try to use the method recorded in the undead manual. A poison called [corrosive acid] was used to deal with the lobster people.

"Also, [Deceleration Plaster] needs to be refined more."

Yang Yi suddenly remembered those Kokar centaurs that came and went like the wind. The centaurs relied on their advantage in running speed to gallop around the battlefield. If you use [Slowdown Plaster] to deal with them, you may get good results.

"Yes." Swart still answered simply.

Swart is taciturn and likes to be alone, which may be one of the reasons why he is able to become a Murloc ambusher.

Yang Yi didn't stay long. After he explained the matter, he took a few fishmen and left the pharmaceutical cave.

After leaving the cave, Yang Yi came to the place where mushrooms are cultivated in Ratchet Village. This is a large gravel pit under the cliff of Thorn Ridge Highland.

Originally, this gravel pit was covered with grass and shrubs, but now all those grass and shrubs have been cleared away by the fishmen in the village.

When Yang Yi came to this gravel pit, he saw many thorns and vines as thick as arms growing in the huge gravel pit. These thorns and vines were planted by the steel-maned wild boars.

Yang Yi made a deal with the boarman Tuya for food and healing potions. One of the terms of the deal was to have Tuya send some boarmen who knew how to grow mushrooms to the Thorntooth Village to teach the fishmen how to grow mushrooms.

The boarman Tuya kept his promise and soon sent eight steel-bristled boarmen to the fishmen village.

The eight steel-bristled boarmen found a big problem after arriving at the Thorntooth Village.

Although these boarmen knew how to grow mushrooms, they had grown mushrooms based on experience passed down from generation to generation when they were in the Thorn Jungle. After arriving at the Thorntooth Village and seeing that the fishmen village was completely different from the Thorn Jungle, these boarmen didn't know what to do.

After Yang Yi knew the situation, he immediately came up with a solution to the problem. His idea was very simple. He just needed the environment of the Thorn Jungle, so he just planted a Thorn Jungle in the Thorntooth Village.

So, the gravel pit in the Thorntooth Village, which was close to the cliff of the Thorn Ridge Highlands, was planted with boar thorn vines.

Seeing Yang Yi coming, a fishman immediately ran over, followed by a boarman.

"Village chief, the wild thornroot grass has been received." The fishman said.

Yang Yi nodded to the fishman, and then he looked at the boarman.

The boarman Tuoya did not deal with the ratchet village casually. This boarman was a steel bristle geomancer, who had a lot of experience in mushroom cultivation.

The steel bristle geomancer was a boar mage profession. This boarman also had expertise in negotiation and planting, and was a boar talent.

"Village chief of the ratchet fishman village, we are preparing for mushroom cultivation." The steel bristle geomancer said respectfully to Yang Yi.

Although the world of Azeroth is not completely based on strength, it is difficult to move forward without strength. The reason why the steel bristle geomancer was so respectful to Yang Yi, the fishman, was entirely because he saw the powerful strength of the ratchet village.

In a gravel pit not far away, a group of fishmen and boarmen were busy together. They were mixing ragweed with a small amount of wild thornroot grass, and then burying it in shallow soil for rotting and fermentation. This would be the breeding ground for the steel bristle boarmen to grow mushrooms.

"In addition to the [Red Spot Mushroom], what other edible mushrooms do you steel bristle boarmen usually grow?" Yang Yi asked the steel bristle geomancer.

"We also grow some [Porous Mushrooms] and [Poison Cap Mushrooms]." The steel bristle geomancer replied.

"Poison Cap Mushroom? Isn't this a poisonous mushroom?" Yang Yi asked.

"The poison of [Poison Cap Mushroom] is hidden in the fungus spores. As long as the spores are removed or roasted with fire, it can be eaten." The steel bristle geomancer explained.

"It would be terrible if this poison cap mushroom was not handled properly and eaten." Yang Yi said.

"It won't be a big problem if the fungus spores are not handled cleanly. This kind of thing happens frequently. Eating it will cause diarrhea for two or three days." The steel bristle geomancer said.

"Having diarrhea for two or three days in a row, isn't that a big problem? Then your legs will be so weak that you won't even be able to walk." Yang Yi laughed. The life of a wild boar is not easy.

"Village chief, which kind of mushroom should we plant first? Is it the red-spotted mushroom?" the fishman interrupted.

"You decide. Plant which kind of mushroom is easy to plant and has a good harvest." Yang Yi said.

The main purpose of growing mushrooms in Thorntooth Village is to provide food for the fishmen in the village. As long as they can fill the stomachs of the fishmen in the village, the type of mushroom is not important.

The matter of mushroom cultivation is left to the fishmen and steel-brisled wild boars in the village. Yang Yi can't help. He just watches from the side.

A few minutes later, the old blind eye also came to this gravel pit.

"Lord, something big has happened. The fishmen sent out by the village to follow the Kokar centaurs came back to report that the tribe's army has arrived near the Dead Water Oasis. It is estimated that they will soon launch an attack on the centaurs in the Dead Water Oasis." The old blind eye reported.

"Oh? This is really great news. We in Ratchet Village don't need to care about them. Let them fight to the death. It's best if there is no winner." Yang Yi said with a smile.

Yang Yi currently does not want the tribe's army to wipe out the Kokar Centaur tribe in Deadwater Oasis all at once, otherwise Deadwater Oasis will fall into the hands of the tribe.

The orcs are very expansive. If the tribe camp establishes a base in Deadwater Oasis not far from Ratchet Village, it may not be a good thing for Ratchet Village. .
