Chapter 301: Abundant Resources

Yang Yi explained the planting of sludge grass to the wise man of the Blackfin Clan, and then he set his sights on other products in the Frenzy Bay.

[Giant clam shells] reproduce in large numbers in the Frenzy Bay, and the shellfish traps set by the lobstermen can often harvest this shellfish.

This level 4 shellfish not only contains [delicious clam meat], but also rare [black pearls] if you are lucky, and each one can be sold at a good price.

The seashell farm in Ratchet Town has been upgraded to level 4, which is just enough to breed [Giant clam shells], so you can try to breed them.

The fish resources in the Frenzy Bay are much richer than those in the Ratchet Bay. Level 3 [Bristle whisker catfish], level 4 [Stone cod] and [Silverhead salmon], and level 5 [Spotted yellowtail] are all common fish in the Frenzy Bay.

These four kinds of fish are like the level 1 [Slippery skin mackerel] and level 2 [Colorful fin fish] in the Ratchet Bay. They will be the rations of the fishmen in Ratchet Town in the future.

Yang Yi plans to have the Frenzy Bay Farm capture a batch of fish and send them to Ratchet Town regularly to change their taste and improve their lives.

Level 3 [Fire Scale Eel] can be seen as an upgraded version of Level 2 [Black Mouth Fish]. It is a more advanced alchemical material and the most economically valuable fishing target in Frenzy Bay.

Level lobster is a special ingredient provided by the matriarch of the Dirt Shell Clan. Yang Yi will naturally not let go of such a delicacy. Every black claw lobster caught in the future must be sent to Ratchet Town.

Finally, there is [Plesiosaur Meat] left. The weight of an adult black plesiosaur is comparable to that of a kodo beast. Killing one can feed a small village of fishmen, which is a very good source of meat.

However, in Yang Yi's eyes, it is a bit of a waste to treat black plesiosaurs as food. He hopes that the fishmen in Ratchet Town can tame them. Just like the cargo kodo beasts walking on land, training a batch of water cargo plesiosaurs is also a good idea.

The above is Yang Yi's general arrangement for the Frenzy Bay Farm. He called the thief's eyes over and told her the matter.

"Zheiyan, you will stay in Frenzy Bay for a while, and make arrangements after the farm is built and on track."

The Dustwallow Marsh is full of dangers. The Dustwallow Crocodiles, Darkfang Spiders, Bloodswamp Raptors, etc. living in the swamp are all threats to the Frenzy Bay Farm.

During this period, the three hundred-man battalions of combat murlocs stationed here have another arduous task. They must launch a large-scale clearing operation to provide a safe environment for the sludge grass farm.

Zheiyan is very familiar with the environment of the Dustwallow Marsh, and this murloc is smart and not as hot-blooded as other murlocs.

With Zeiyan around, Yang Yi is much more at ease.

In addition, Yang Yi also arranged an additional task for Zeiyan, which is about training murloc ambushers in the Dustwallow Marsh.

Yang Yi has been thinking about this for a long time.

Ratchet Town has only formed a team of ten murloc ambushers so far. At this rate of development, it is unknown how long it will take to gather a hundred-man battalion of murloc ambushers.

Blackfin Murlocs have so many Murlocs ambushers. In addition to the related expertise of the Murlocs of the Blackfin Clan, the Murloc trials in Dustwallow Marsh are also crucial.

"Thief Eyes, this lord wants the Blackfin Murlocs to help Ratchet Town train Murlocs ambushers." Yang Yi said.

"How can we help?" Thief Eyes asked.

"Ratchet Town will regularly send Murlocs who want to become Murlocs ambushers to the Fear Bay, and let them enter Dustwallow Marsh for trials with the Murlocs of the Blackfin Clan." Yang Yi said.

"In Dustwallow Marsh live raptors, spiders, crocodiles and other beasts that are good at hiding and ambushing, as well as a variety of deadly poisons. Any of them can easily take the life of a Murloc, so the mortality rate of the Blackfin Clan's trials is very high." Thief Eyes said.

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. To become a qualified Murloc ambush, you must go through dangerous trials." Yang Yi said.

The dangerous environment of Dustwallow Marsh is like a natural school. The murlocs can learn all kinds of knowledge in the Tidal College in Ratchet Town, and they can acquire the abilities of hiding, ambush and poison knowledge in the natural school of Dustwallow Marsh, so as to prepare for their future career as murloc ambushers.

Thief Eyes nodded and understood Yang Yi's intention.

After arranging these, Yang Yi rode on a turtle mount and prepared to leave Dustwallow Marsh.

Before leaving, Yang Yi told Thief Eyes to keep an eye on the murlocs in Ratchet Town.

Dustwallow Marsh is not a deserted place, there are also Stonemaul Ogres, Terror Totem Tauren, Theramore Humans and Black Dragons. Yang Yi hopes that the murlocs in Ratchet Town can concentrate on farming in Dustwallow Marsh. He plans to limit the activities of the murlocs in Ratchet Town to the swamp to prevent the murlocs from getting too close to the strongholds of other races.

Yang Yi returned to Ratchet Town riding a big turtle and taking the Death Swamp Crocodile.

Slark was sent to the Dead Water Oasis, and Brak was still in the Black Dragon Valley of the Dustwallow Swamp. Those who stayed in Ratchet Town included Old Blind Eye, Mojimus, and Benbolba. When they learned that Yang Yi was back, they all ran over.

Several murlocs saw the huge crocodile, and they were so surprised that their mouths opened wider than the basin.

Yang Yi was very proud. Although this giant crocodile of the Dead Swamp was only level 5, it was ridiculously large.

Nothing else, just eye-catching.

"Old Blind Eye, how is the situation in Ratchet Town these days?" Yang Yi asked Old Blind Eye.

"Lord, after you left, the Murloc Reed Weaver Altar in the town has been completed, and the town's level 1 Murloc Temple is about to be completed. But the price of wood has been rising recently, and the remaining wood in the town is almost exhausted." The old blind man first reported the recent situation of Ratchet Town to Yang Yi.

The Murloc Reed Weaver Altar was completed on the third day after Yang Yi set out for Dustwallow Marsh. Yang Yi still has the chance to win a lottery after the construction is completed. The town's level 1 Murloc Temple was won in a new lottery at the beginning of this month, and there will be another chance to win a lottery after it is completed.

As for the continued rise in wood prices, Yang Yi had expected it.

Not long ago, the tribe experienced a defeat in Warsong Gulch in Ashenvale, and the work of the Warsong Lumberyard was greatly affected, and the price of wood naturally rose.

Yang Yi once hoped that the Stonetalon Mountains in the west could fill the vacancy in Ashenvale, but things did not go smoothly. Because the tauren have begun to intervene, they are preventing venture capital companies from cutting down trees.

"If you rely on mountains, they will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away. It seems that I have to rely on myself. I have to find a place to build a logging camp belonging to Ratchet."

Yang Yi came to the center of the town and opened the map of Kalimdor.

On the map, we can see that in addition to the Ashenvale in the north and the Stonetalon Mountains in the northwest, Mulgore in the southwest, Thousand Needles in the south, and Durotar in the northeast are connected to the Barrens.

Mulgore is a large grassland with few trees, and it is also the territory of the Tauren. In the eyes of the Tauren, cutting down trees in large quantities is a harm to Mother Earth, and it is not feasible to build a logging camp in Mulgore.

Thousand Needles, as the name suggests, is a forest of rocks. Apart from the stone forest, there is pure desert and wasteland, with very few trees.

The land in Durotar is dry. Only a few drought-resistant plants such as cacti can survive on the land scorched red by the sun, and basically no trees can be seen.

The area around the Barrens is not suitable for building a lumberyard. Yang Yi had no choice but to look further afield.

"Feralas, west of the Thousand Needles, is a lush jungle. If a lumberyard can be built, there will be an inexhaustible supply of wood. It's a pity that the land of Feralas is not very peaceful at present, and it takes too long to get there by water from Ratchet Town, and it's not suitable for murlocs by land."

Feralas is to the west of Kalimdor, and Ratchet Town is to the east of Kalimdor. It takes half a circle of the continent by water, which is too time-consuming and labor-intensive.

If you go by land, you have to go through the southern Barrens to reach the Thousand Needles, and then cross the western part of the Thousand Needles to get there. This section of the journey passes through arid land, and you have to pass through the territory of quilboars and centaurs. The road is too dangerous.

Yang Yi temporarily ruled out Feralas.

"Except for Feralas, Azshara, further north of Durotar, is a primeval forest with towering trees everywhere. There are no strongholds of the Horde or the Alliance except for scattered orc outposts and elven villages, and the sea transportation from Ratchet to Azshara is very convenient."

Yang Yi drew a circle on the location of Azshara on the map. He planned to build a logging camp in Azshara.

"We need to pay attention to the storms that often appear in Azshara, and the labyrinth-like coral reefs under the sea that hinder ships."

"The matter of Dustwallow Marsh has come to an end. Next, we have to go to Azshara to take a look. It's time to meet the two murloc clans living there."

There are two murloc clans living in Azshara, namely Stormfjord Murloc and Acoran Murloc.

These two murloc clans have one thing in common, that is, the clans have a large population. They are one of the largest murloc clans on the continent of Kalimdor.

What Ratchet Town lacks most is population. Although it can get some population supplements from the Blackfin Clan now, the Blackfin Clan itself has only more than 30,000 murlocs.

"If you keep catching a sheep and plucking its wool, you will eventually plucking the sheep bald. In addition to the Blackfin Clan, there are seven other large murloc clans in Kalimdor. Catch the other seven fat sheep as soon as possible and plucking all the wool from them. Then Ratchet Town will not have to worry about the population problem."

Yang Yi happily imagined the scene where all the eight murloc clans surrendered to Ratchet Town. By then, the population of Ratchet Town should explode.

The premise is that Ratchet Town must have enough food to support so many murlocs.

"There shouldn't be too many obstacles to the cultivation of mud grass in Dustwallow Marsh. After all, the swamp that Ratchet Town is going to develop is a sparsely populated area. Apart from some wild beasts that live in the swamp, basically no other creatures will run into the swamp."

"But the southern part of Dustwallow Marsh is the territory of the black dragons. Recently, these black dragons are ready to move and have already rushed out of the Black Dragon Valley, so the only area that Ratchet Town can develop is the mud swamp in the north."

"You can't put all your eggs in one basket. If a black dragon goes crazy and sweeps across the entire Dustwallow Marsh, the murlocs in Ratchet Town will starve to death."

Thinking of this, Yang Yi put away the map and jumped off the center of the murloc town.
