The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 203: Making Talisman Stones, Bamboo Rat Breeding Plan

"Oh!"

With a muffled explosion, in an instant, the white supernatural stone in Liang Yuan's hand shattered and turned into powder.

Liang Yuan looked a little stunned and didn't quite dare to believe his eyes.

"Failed?"

"This...what the hell is going on?"

"I have already gone through the Spirit Turtle Shield rune in my mind thousands of times. I can even concentrate my mental energy on it, but how come I can't engrave it?"

"Just because my hand was shaking?"

Liang Yuan was a little bit unbelievable. He just tried to engrave the Turtle Shield rune, but his hand just shook slightly and the whole power stone shattered and exploded in an instant!
He was silent for a while.

The making of this rune stone is far from as simple as he thought!

Not only is there a mental power threshold, but also for rune carving, you can't just take a break halfway through, or modify it if you make a mistake.

The whole process must be completed in one go, without even a shake of the hands!
There is a saying that goes, reading something a thousand times is not as good as writing it once.

He could use his mental power to draw and condense the Spirit Turtle Shield rune at will, but when he tried to carve the rune with his hands, he actually failed!

For a moment, he felt sad for the broken supernatural stone, but was also speechless about his own carving ability.

"It seems I need to practice carving."

Liang Yuan sighed and decided not to take out the supernatural stone. Instead, he found many stones nearby and started practicing carving on them.

This kind of carving also depends on talent.

Some people are born with a meticulous mind and steady hands like a mountain.

But some people just have a bad mentality and their hands shake like a sieve.

Just like being a surgeon, not everyone can be one.

Not just any hand can hold the scalpel.

Those are things that require long-term practice to develop.

Fortunately, Liang Yuan is not an ordinary person.

He is a supernatural being.

Yes, he has a special ability that he almost forgets.

evolution!

When he encounters a life-and-death crisis, he will quickly evolve corresponding body functions to adapt to the external crisis.

In fact, evolutionary abilities do not only suddenly take effect in times of life-and-death crisis.

When he does the same thing repeatedly, his evolved abilities will also automatically adapt to the current situation.

After carving runes and practicing repeatedly for hundreds of times, Liang Yuan suddenly felt a surge of supernatural energy in his heart.

The next moment, his fingers actually underwent some subtle changes!

I saw his five fingers become slender and strong, his wrist began to become more flexible, and the touch of his fingertips became more acute.

These hands gradually became like those of a top surgeon.

Calm, powerful and flexible!

Such a change made Liang Yuan's heart move, and he couldn't help but show joy in his eyes.

"【Evolution】The ability will automatically adapt to the difficulties I'm facing and evolve the most beneficial changes for me!"

He only felt that his hands had become unusually flexible, and his originally clumsy carving skills had made rapid progress at this moment!
Even his eyes seemed to have evolved.

When he looked at things, his pupils seemed to focus automatically, allowing him to see more subtle lines.

Liang Yuan was delighted: "I take back my previous complaints about the [Evolution] ability. This is a godly skill."

As his body evolved and mutated, he was becoming a top carving master at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, the carving knife in his hand seemed to be assisted by God. It kept scratching the stone with a creaking sound, leaving complex lines.

Soon, a perfect rune appeared on the stone, as if it was printed.

The moment the rune appeared, it trembled inexplicably, but the next moment, it lost its luster.

And the stone also turned into powder with a crackling sound!
Liang Yuan was slightly stunned, looking at the stone that turned into powder, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Ordinary stones cannot carry supernatural runes?"

"Can't the rune be placed on a carrier other than a supernatural stone?"

"No, it's not that we can't. It's because once the rune is activated, it will definitely consume the energy in the carrier."

"This stone is obviously an ordinary stone. There is no supernatural energy inside it, so it was shattered by the runes in an instant."

Liang Yuan seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly he changed his mind.

The supernatural stone contains supernatural energy, so runes can be carved on it.

So if other things also contain supernatural energy, can runes be engraved on them?
Does this carrier only need to contain supernatural energy? It doesn't necessarily have to be a supernatural stone?

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan's mind became active.

But then he frowned again: "So far, it seems that only the supernatural stone has been found to have the ability to store supernatural energy. Other substances seem to have not been discovered yet."

"No, there must be something similar in nature that can store supernatural energy, but it has not been discovered yet."

Liang Yuan put his thoughts aside and continued carving a few supernatural runes.

He did not activate the runes these times, but the stones still shattered in an instant.

"It seems that even if the rune is not activated, just maintaining its existence will consume supernatural energy."

Liang Yuan came to this conclusion and realized one thing: the supernatural runes really could not be spread through ordinary means.

"It should be about the same. Let's try the power stone."

Liang Yuan felt that his carving proficiency had improved, so he decided to try using a power stone.

A non-attribute supernatural stone was taken out, and Liang Yuan began to concentrate on carving quickly on the surface of the supernatural stone.

Time passed slowly. About ten minutes later, with a buzzing sound, followed by another ray of light, the white supernatural stone in Liang Yuan's hand suddenly trembled.

"It's done!"

Liang Yuan looked at the exquisite supernatural stone in his hand, which looked like a work of art and was carved with intricate patterns.

He immediately laughed, and the patterns glowed faintly, making this supernatural stone look extraordinary.

"This is the Rune Stone!"

He thought about it and activated the Turtle Shield Rune Stone.

With a humming sound, a tortoise shell-shaped shield suddenly lit up around the rune stone.

This shield is about three meters high and shaped like a tortoise shell, wrapping Liang Yuan inside.

Liang Yuan felt the spirit turtle cover carefully and tapped it gently. He immediately discovered the difference between the spirit turtle cover that used the supernatural stone as a carrier and the spirit turtle cover that he activated with his mental power.

The defensive power of the turtle shield that is carried by this supernatural stone is obviously lower than that of the turtle shield that is cast by one's own mental power.

And the range seemed to be very small, far smaller than the size of the Spirit Turtle Shield when he cast it.

And it seems that as the energy in the power stone is consumed, the defensive strength and range of the spirit turtle shield are constantly shrinking.

"It seems that the effect of the rune has a lot to do with the amount of energy stored in the rune."

"So, the bigger the rune is, the more energy it can store, and the higher its value should be."

He silently memorized these factors in his mind, and at the same time began to test the strength of the Spirit Turtle Shield Talisman Stone's mental defense.

He then placed the talisman in his hand on the table and moved out of the range of the spirit turtle shield.

Then he directly launched a mental shock and slammed the spirit turtle cover!
Boom!
The mental shock collided with the spirit turtle shield, and immediately a muffled sound was heard.

All he saw was the Spirit Turtle Cover humming and vibrating. The transparent cover emitted a faint glow and trembled slightly, but it perfectly resisted his mental attack!

Liang Yuan nodded secretly in his heart, and immediately began to increase the intensity of his attack.

After about five times in a row, the Spirit Turtle Shield shattered with a loud bang, and the talisman stone was instantly turned into powder.

Obviously, the energy inside was exhausted and the Spirit Turtle Shield could no longer support it.

"This egg-sized energy stone can sustain my mental attacks five times..."

Liang Yuan wrote something on his notebook, then erased it and wrote again: "An egg-sized attributeless power stone that can support the white skill [Mental Shock] five times..."

Such rigorous notes are of reference value.

In the following period of time, Liang Yuan made ten turtle shield talisman stones.

He didn't have many power stones in his hand, only about fifty in total, which he had accumulated when he was in Midu Garden.

For the remaining forty attributeless power stones, he planned to try to find the explosive runes, water-avoiding runes, and earth-defense runes disclosed by the military, so as to learn how to make these runes.

He didn't plan to waste the power stones in his hands before finding a new channel for them.

"Brother! Brother, come here quickly."

At this time, Yangmei's voice was heard from outside.

There was a hint of excitement in that voice. Liang Yuan was a little surprised and walked out of the room and came to the bamboo building.

I saw Yang Mei, Ding Yan, Song Wen and other girls gathered together, and Yang Mei waved at me.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Yang Mei said happily: "Zhao Kai and his team caught a few more bamboo rats in the bamboo forest. They are quite big."

"Caught again?"

Liang Yuan was surprised. The last time he ate bamboo rat meat, he was still sighing that it tasted really good and was much better than the mutant fish meat.

I didn’t expect that they caught it again. It seems that there are quite a lot of bamboo rats in this bamboo forest.

As soon as he got down from the bamboo building, he saw Zhao Kai, Lao Ma and Cai Zhi were all there.

I saw three huge bamboo rats with fiery red fur trapped in a bamboo cage.

These three bamboo rats are huge in size, comparable to big dogs.

Its limbs are short and strong, its tail is short and powerful, and its furry body is covered with water droplets and bamboo leaves.

At this time, he kept ramming into the bamboo cage, trying to break free.

Zhao Kai said excitedly: "Brother Liang, come and have a look, this is the cage that Brother Cai, Hu Weimin, Uncle Liu and the others set up last night. I didn't expect that they really caught these guys."

"Look at this head. It must weigh dozens of kilograms, so it can produce a lot of meat."

Cai Zhi's face was also full of excitement. After the trip to Turtle Island, he failed to awaken his special powers, but he saved his life.

Later, after climbing Yangshan Mountain, he became depressed for a while.

However, with the comfort of his family and friends, he quickly regained his spirits and began to face life positively.

The last time he saw Zhao Kai and his friends catch bamboo rats in the bamboo forest, he immediately became interested.

According to his observations, these bamboo rats love to eat bamboo shoots and do not seem to be that aggressive.

He immediately found Lao Ma, Hu Weimin, and Liu Danian. None of them had been able to awaken their special powers, and they had once been core members of the patrol team, so they could be said to be in the same boat.

When Cai Zhi proposed making traps to catch bamboo rats, several people immediately hit it off.

Hu Weimin even thought that if buns were made with bamboo rat meat, they might become very popular.

Even if I can't awaken my super powers by then, I should have no problem supporting my family.

Liu Danian didn't want to be a burden to his daughter, nor did he want to rely on his daughter Liu Feifei for everything. He wanted to be self-reliant, so naturally he immediately joined the hunting team.

Not to mention Lao Ma, he was already close to Cai Zhi, they had built a raft together and both had hands-on experience, so making trap cages was naturally a piece of cake for him.

Especially since his wife Li Lanhua is now highly valued by Song Wen and has been busy with planting and reclaiming terraced fields, he felt that he could not let his wife support him, so he joined without hesitation.

When several people were selecting materials for making a trap cage, they found that the reddish bamboo was the toughest and most suitable for making a cage, so they immediately began to weave the cage trap.

Unexpectedly, we caught three in just one night.

This instantly cheered up the three of them, and Cai Zhi and Lao Ma were smiling all the way.

I finally feel like I’m no longer a burden and can support my family.

Liang Yuan looked at the three bamboo rats and was also very surprised. He said, "These bamboo rats are not aggressive?"

"They are not that aggressive. They mainly feed on bamboo shoots." Zhao Kai said immediately.

Cai Zhi at the side also hurriedly said: "We tried feeding them with mutant fish, but they didn't eat it."

"But if you try to grab them with your hands, they will get angry and fight back."

"But they only bite and scratch people, they don't eat people."

"Is there anything special about them?" Liang Yuan asked.

The old horse said: "It is very strong, it can catch up with a cow, and its teeth and claws are very sharp."

"We need the knife enchanted by Dr. Yang to chop down these bamboos, but they can eat the bamboo shoots. If we give them some time, they can even chew the slightly green bamboos."

Liang Yuan knew that in the bamboo forest, the green bamboo was relatively tender. The closer the bamboo was to dark red or even fiery red, the harder its texture was and the less tough it was.

These bamboo rats can chew through green bamboo, but they cannot chew through fiery red bamboo.

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "Yes, it seems that we now have a fixed place to hunt."

At this time, Cai Zhi couldn't help but say: "Liang Yuan, we have a suggestion, but we don't know whether we should say it."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Cai, what should we say or not? Why do we have to be so reserved with each other?"

Cai Zhi was moved. He once thought that since he failed to awaken his superpowers, he would be gradually excluded from Liang Yuan's core circle.

But in fact, no one, whether it was Liang Yuan or Zhao Kai, really acted like a superpower in front of them.

The way everyone gets along with each other is still similar to the past.

The only people whose state of mind changed were those who failed to awaken their superpowers.

Cai Zhi suppressed his emotion and said, "Old Ma and I all think that bamboo forest is a good breeding ground. We should not hunt them wantonly. Instead, we should find a way to confine that area and use it to raise bamboo rats, and hunt them in an orderly manner."

"This way, we will have a constant supply of bamboo rat meat to eat."

When Liang Yuan heard this, he immediately thought it was a good idea.

Between exhausting all resources and pursuing sustainable development, everyone knows which choice to make.

Liang Yuan touched his chin and said, "This is a good idea. If we want to develop our shelter camp, we can't just grow vegetables and eat mutant fish. We need a constant supply of meat."

"Well, Zhao Kai, Ding Yan, I'll leave this matter to you. You can discuss it with Brother Cai, Lao Ma and the others and come up with a set of rules."

"How to build a bamboo rat breeding base, which piece of land to enclose, how to protect, how to breed, breeders, keepers, forest rangers, all these need to be considered in place."

Zhao Kai and Ding Yan were stunned for a moment, then they both smiled and said immediately, "No problem, leave it to us."

Liang Yuan nodded and smiled, then looked around and found that there were fewer people in the bamboo building. He couldn't help but wonder, "Where did everyone go?"

Song Wen said, "Aunt Li took the women and children who were idle at home to work in the fields."

Ding Yan said, "Some men went to the river at the foot of the mountain to catch fish. Now that they have dug out a cave and have a place to live, they don't want to sit back and do nothing. They want to catch more fish and exchange them for food with you."

Liang Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Okay, okay, let's all go catch fish."

Only when you catch fish can you earn points.

It has been so many days and his points have not increased for a long time.

It's only over two thousand now, and he still wants to draw skills and power stones.

Zhao Kai and his friends immediately discussed the plan of breeding bamboo rats. Liang Yuan listened for a while and then let them discuss it on their own.

Yang Mei and Liu Feifei teased the bamboo rats beside their cages and fed them with bamboo shoots.

There were occasional sounds of shock and laughter.

Although this bamboo rat is big, it has a chubby body and looks cute, which is indeed more attractive to girls.

While Yang Mei was away, Liang Yuan quietly pulled Song Wen's slippery palm.

Song Wen was listening to Zhao Kai and others talking about the bamboo rat breeding plan when he suddenly pulled her hand.

She was startled at once and subconsciously looked towards Yangmei.

Seeing that Yang Mei wasn't paying attention, she blushed and quickly withdrew her hand, quietly looking at Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan winked at her, then left the bamboo house first and went towards the terraced fields.

Song Wen looked at Yang Mei guiltily, then calmly glanced at Ding Yan who was discussing something with Zhao Kai and the others, then clapped her hands pretending to be calm and shouted to Liu Feifei: "Fei Fei, I'm going to go to Aunt Li and the others to see how the land reclamation is going."

Upon hearing this, Liu Feifei quickly asked, "Do you want me to go with you?"

Song Wen quickly waved her hand: "It's okay, I just want to see if there are any new mutant plants."

Liu Feifei gave up after hearing this and said, "Sister Yangmei said she would prepare something delicious for lunch and asked us to go. You should come back early."

Song Wen didn't dare to look at Yang Mei. She just nodded and hurriedly left the bamboo house.

After getting down from the bamboo house, we followed the mountain road and came to a slope not far from the reservoir.

Over there, Aunt Li and her team have already leveled out a small piece of land.

Many tree stumps were dug out and a piece of land was cleared.

Liang Yuan stood at the edge of the field and waved at her.

Song Wen couldn't help but smile, and immediately walked over and asked, "Brother Liang, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Why, can't I come to you if nothing happens?"

Song Wen blushed and shook her head quickly, "No, you...you can find me anytime you want."

Liang Yuan laughed and stopped teasing her. He took out the turtle shield talisman stone that he had prepared long ago and handed it to her.

"This is for you. Keep it close to you and don't lose it."

Song Wen took the power stone and was a little surprised: "What is this?"

"This is a supernatural stone." Liang Yuan chuckled.

Song Wen was immediately surprised: "Ah? This is the power stone? It's so beautiful."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "To be precise, this thing is now called a talisman stone."
