Chapter 168 Mutant Fish

Yang Yi then talked with the old blind man about the construction of Deadwater Village, and soon after, the tauren Bain came over.

"Poseidon, you are here. Those investors have been annoying me for a while." Bain complained to Yang Yi as soon as he came.

It turned out that the adventurers saw that the construction speed of Deadwater Village was seriously lagging behind, so they all ran to find Bain. Yang Yi planned to build the wall of the Murloc Village first, then the wall of the Tauren Village, and finally build other buildings. Therefore, none of the buildings of these adventurer investors have started yet.

"Bain, I am trying to find a way. I didn't expect them to come to you. I guess you are annoyed enough, haha." Yang Yi smiled and greeted Bain.

Yang Yi knew what these adventurers were thinking. Most of these adventurers used this as an excuse to get close to Bain.

As far as Yang Yi knew, there were very few people in the entire Kalimdor continent who could establish friendship with the indigenous forces. The most successful one is probably the Rumeng Guild. After killing Ishawak last time, the people of the Rumeng Guild often go in and out of the Northern Castle.

It is said that the current president of the Rumeng Guild, Meng Fan, is actively attacking Theramore, hoping to open up the relationship with Theramore through the Northern Castle.

The Rumeng Guild has made such rapid progress because Theramore is in an extremely embarrassing situation. As humans, they are surrounded by the power of the tribe, so the humans belonging to Theramore are in urgent need of external help.

In addition to the Rumeng Guild, most of the other forces are mercenaries who do missions or go to the battlefield as mercenaries when war breaks out. For example, the recently rapidly rising Return to Glory is just a cannon fodder mercenary in the Battle of Warsong Gulch. It's just that they have a large number of people and have accumulated military exploits, which makes them different.

This is also a major reason why Glory invested heavily in Dead Water Village. They need a breakthrough to really get in touch with the tribe.

"Baine, look at this now, the construction here is too slow. I'm worried that the centaurs will come back, and that would be dangerous." Yang Yi immediately got down to business after greeting.

"Building a village requires a lot of time and energy, and it can't be rushed." Baine said.

"But this wall alone is not enough to resist the attack of the centaurs." Yang Yi couldn't help but worry, because the level 3 wall of the village in Ratchet Town had been attacked by the centaurs.

Baine also showed a worried look, he looked around at the minotaurs and murlocs who were working hard to build.

Minotaurs and centaurs have been fighting for generations, so the settlements are mostly chosen on mountains that are not easy for centaurs to climb.

The murloc village needs to be built by the water, so it is built on the flat land beside the lake.

Bain knew that the Centaurs would not give up this oasis easily. He thought for a while and said, "Poseidon, your fishman village is built on the lakeside on the ground, which is very vulnerable to the attacks of the Centaurs. It is best to build a town-level wall."

"I also know that the Centaurs will come back at any time, and I also want to build a town-level wall directly, but there are not enough builders and building materials." Yang Yi said.

"Maybe you can consider asking some people for help." Bain said.

"Who to ask for help?" Yang Yi asked.

"You can go to the goblin craftsmen, they are experts in this field." Bain said.

"But the goblins only have gold coins in their eyes. This requires gold coins, a lot of gold coins." Yang Yi exaggeratedly gestured with his hands to show the number of gold coins needed.

"Yes, that's for sure. Only a lot of gold coins can invite those goblins." Bain shrugged his broad shoulders, and then he continued, "But at least, as long as you take out enough gold coins, you can invite the goblins here."

Yang Yi nodded silently, Bain was right.

There are actually quite a few construction workers capable of building a town-level wall near this land, but there are few who are willing to come here to help the murlocs build it, let alone invite such high-level talents in a short period of time. Only a race like the goblins who are greedy for money can do this.

"Perhaps, this is a last resort. I think I should try to ask those goblins how much gold coins are needed to help build the wall. Bain, do you know a goblin who is good at construction? This is not a small project." Yang Yi thought about it and asked.

"Gazlowe, the goblin, this project is nothing to him. He was also asked to build the orcs' capital Orgrimmar." Bain reported the name of a goblin without hesitation. In his opinion, Gazlowe is the best choice.

Hearing the name Gazlowe, Yang Yi hesitated.

Yang Yi knew that Gazlowe was actually the ruler of the original goblin Ratchet City, and the current Murloc Ratchet Town was actually built on the land of the goblin Ratchet City. Yang Yi was thankful that Gazlowe didn't come back to ask for the land. He had to consider the pros and cons of Yang Yi's initiative to find the ruler of the former goblin city of Ratchet.

Bain looked at Yang Yi. He also knew the reason why Yang Yi was hesitant. He patiently explained: "After the destruction of the goblin city of Ratchet, Gazlowe suffered heavy losses and almost lost everything. I heard that the trade prince of the Steam Sand Group was furious about this, so Gazlowe has built a new port in Durotar. He is now raising funds for the construction of the port. This Gazlowe has a good relationship with my father. If you want to find him, I can write a letter of introduction. However, with Gazlowe's obsession with gold coins, this letter of introduction cannot help you save even a single gold coin from him."

"If it really doesn't work, maybe this is the only way." Yang Yi said.

"Actually, there is another way." Bain said in a slow tone: "In this barren land, the most powerful ones are the orcs of the tribe. If the orc army comes to garrison here, plus us, we won't be able to resist it. Centaur attack. You know, you fishmen are still too weak. With the help of the tribe, you ratchet fishmen can develop more stably."

As a member of the tribe camp, Bain has always hoped that the Ratchet fishmen would also move closer to the tribe. This was also for the sake of the Ratchet fish people.

"I will consider your proposal carefully." Yang Yi said.

Yang Yi did not directly agree to Bain's suggestion. Let's not say whether the orcs are willing to come here to help garrison, but if the orcs are invited to help, how will the orcs be sent away in the future?

Yang Yi remembered that when the tribe attacked the centaurs in the backwater oasis, the orcs specially sent people to let the ratchet fishmen act together. From that time on, Yang Yi often considered the future of Ratchet Town.

Currently, Ratchet Murloc Town remains neutral. In fact, the previous goblin Ratchet City was also a neutral city, but the goblin consortium was very powerful, and strength was the capital for the goblin city to remain neutral. However, the current Murloc Town did not have such capital.

Judging from the current situation in Ratchet Town, it would be difficult to develop in the barren land without finding a backer.

But Yang Yi has another worry: "Although it is easy to hold someone's lap, it is easier to ask for help than to send him away. If you follow others, you will inevitably be ordered around like a younger brother, so it is better to be the boss yourself."

After Yang Yi and Bain separated, they came to the lake in the backwater oasis.

The pollution in the lake has not yet been removed, and there are still black oil stains floating on the surface.

This layer of oil stains seems to be getting denser and thicker. The viscosity of the oil stains is very high, and black paste has formed in some places around the lake.

There are a large number of snap-mouthed turtles living in the lake. Due to the pollution of the lake water, these snap-mouthed turtles are now extremely violent.

Brak led a team of fighting murlocs to guard these violent snap-jaw turtles by the lake. As long as a snap-jaw turtle climbed ashore, these murlocs would swarm up and skin and shell the snap-jaw turtle, and get a hearty meal by the way.

When Yang Yi arrived, he saw several pools of blood on the muddy ground by the lake. The fighting murlocs guarding the lake had bulging bellies. It seemed that Brak and the others had a good harvest today.

"Brack, these snap-jawed turtles haven't climbed up to bite anyone, have they?" Yang Yi asked.

"Lord, Brak has been guarding day and night, and not a single turtle escaped from our side. In the Minotaur Village opposite, a big black cow came to the lake to fetch water the day before yesterday, and was bitten by a big turtle, haha." He answered happily, and he completed the task assigned by Yang Yi responsibly.

In order to protect the fishman construction workers and ensure that the wall could be completed as soon as possible, Brak actually stayed at the lake day and night.

"Well done, keep up the good work. However, you don't have to guard Brak all day long. These turtles don't move much at night. Just ask other fishmen to take turns guarding them. Don't worry about those tauren. Just guard us fishes. Just go to the human village.”

Yang Yi also saw that Brak and the others didn't have a good impression of the tauren. After all, the murlocs had always been against land races.

Hearing Yang Yi's praise, Brak grinned even more happily, "Yes, Lord, we will continue to work hard."

"By the way, the lake water here is dark. Is it okay for you to eat these turtle meats?" Yang Yi asked worriedly as he looked at these bloated fishmen and the black lake water.

"Eating turtle meat won't give you stomach ache." Brak replied, patting his belly. He had eaten the most turtle meat these days. "However, the lord is right, there is a problem with this lake. The big white mushrooms on the lakeside will cause diarrhea if eaten, and there is an ugly fish that will cause..."

"What will happen?" Yang Yi asked strangely when he saw that Brak was hesitant to explain.

"Brack couldn't tell clearly. He only saw that after eating that ugly fish, some fishmen fell asleep, some ran around in fear, and some vomited green water from their mouths, but Everything will be fine soon.”

"This ugly fish is so strange. Is there any fish left? Also, don't eat those big white mushrooms."

The fishmen are originally foodies, and they even eat scavengers when they are hungry. Murlocs will have diarrhea if they eat it, and other races will probably be poisoned if they eat it.

"Lord, we all ate that ugly fish."

All the fish that sounds so scary have been eaten? Yang Yi's face was full of black lines, and he felt helpless for this group of foodies.

"Send a few fishmen into the water and catch a few of those fish. Pay attention to those big turtles and don't get bitten." Yang Yi ordered.

"Yes, Lord."

Before, Yang Yi prevented the murlocs from entering the water for safety, but now he changed the order. Without saying a word, Brak personally led several strong fighting murlocs into the lake.

The fish-man entered the water and splashed a lot of water, startling a snap-jaw turtle next to him. The poor snap-jawed turtle was furious and swam toward the murlocs, but was beaten by the murlocs and soon became a feast for the murlocs.

The kind of fish that Brak mentioned was not easy to catch. He led the fishmen back and forth in the lake. The mud was churning, and Brak finally managed to catch one with the spear in his hand.

"Lord, Brak caught an ugly fish, this is it!"

Brak emerged from the water and swam ashore.

He handed the spear to Yang Yi, with a small yellow fish skewered on it. The scales were of different sizes and unevenly arranged. A pair of big blue fish eyes suddenly bulged on the fish's head, which looked like a sick fish.

Yang Yi took the spear. This was a level 2 excellent quality [Mud Fishman Spear], which Yang Yi had asked the goblin merchant to buy. After the battle with the Kokar Centaur, the old blind man and the Black brothers had both reached level 4. Since level 4 excellent quality weapons were rarely sold on the market, the level 4 Black would still use this level 2 weapon.

Yang Yi was not concerned about the appearance of this ugly fish. He took a glance at the fish and used the Lord's Eye skill on it.

[Name]: Mutated Fish

[Level]: Level 2

[Type]: Commodity (Material)

[Use]: Eat me.

"It's called 'Mutated Fish'. It seems that the reason why this fish looks so ugly is probably because of the mutation. But this [Use] only has the two words 'Eat Me'. What the hell is this?"

Yang Yi was puzzled. When he used the Lord's Eye to look at the item information before, it directly displayed the effect of use, such as increasing strength or having underwater breathing effect, etc.

This [mutated fish] only shows the words "eat me", which is really weird.

"It seems that we can only know the effect by trying it."

Yang Yi didn't bother with such a small problem. He simply asked Blake to find a dog-headed slave from the construction site.

"Feed the fish to this dog-headed man."

"Yes, lord."

This innocent dog-headed man had been frightened by the brutal management of the fish-headed man for a long time. This time, he was brought here by the fish-headed man in fear. He didn't dare to say anything when he saw the strange fish. He could only obediently put the fish into his mouth and swallowed it directly with his neck tilted back.

"Tell me, what do you feel?" Yang Yi asked.

"Ah, ah, feeling, feeling..." The dog-headed man covered his throat and his face turned red. Soon after, he suddenly shouted: "Candle, don't take my candle!"

"What candle?" Yang Yi stared at the dog-headed man's reaction and found that the dog-headed man seemed to have hallucinations.

"Candle, I have a candle! Ah, haha, ah ah..."

The dog-headed man became more and more incoherent, and then began to sing and dance, and even began to wave his arms like a hen flapping its wings.

This dog-headed man went crazy.

Yang Yi did not let the fishman stop the dog-headed man until a few minutes later, when the dog-headed man slowly stopped and regained consciousness.

"After eating the [mutated fish], the behavior is strange, but there seems to be no sequelae." Yang Yi judged, plus Blake's previous experience of falling asleep, running around and vomiting after eating fish, it seems that eating this kind of fish has many effects.

This [mutated fish] is so strange, Yang Yi intends to figure it out. So Yang Yi asked Blake to organize the fishman to catch this kind of fish specifically to test the various effects after eating fish. .
