Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 59 Pasture

Along the way, the Silver-Horned Rock Spirit Beast carried Meng Zheng through the waves. The sharp current blew his long hair and brought bursts of coolness.

The patrolling Yaksha guards followed closely behind, keeping an appropriate distance to ensure Meng Zheng's safety.

Soon, Meng Zheng and others came to a seaweed forest. There were densely packed fish running around in it, but they always stayed near the seaweed forest and would not leave at all.

Meng Zheng noticed this and signaled the Silver Horned Rock Spirit Beast to slow down and look over.

The patrolling Yakshas who had been following behind quickly came forward and said, "My lord, this is the fish herder's grazing land."

"Oh! Pasture?" The fisherman Mu Yu is also a busy man. He basically never stays in the tribe. He is either catching fish or exploring everywhere.

Among the current territory exploration forces, apart from the various sea patrol Yaksha teams, the one who made the greatest contribution is Mu Yu.

Every time she returned to the tribe, she would find Li Gen to report on the situation along the way. If there was a place worth exploring, Li Gen would arrange for the patrolling sea yakshas to conduct an investigation.

Therefore, Meng Zheng rarely saw Mu Yu.

I didn’t expect that on this trip I would be able to see the fisherman’s grazing land.

The breeding of Mu Yu's fish is managed by the fish herder apprentices in the territory. These apprentices are not good at taming fish, but they do a good job in breeding.

With the help of these fish herder apprentices, the territory has always had sufficient food.

Later, after the arrival of membrane maker Lan Che, some of the excess fish could be slaughtered and stored, further enriching the territory's material reserves.

"Let's go! Let's go and see what this pasture is like." Meng Zheng was a little curious.

Meng Zheng and his group walked slowly through the seaweed forest. The members of the Royal Guard remained highly alert, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes to guard against any possible threats.

In the seaweed forest, schools of fish swim happily in the water, their silver scales sparkling brightly in the sun, injecting endless vitality and vigor into this area of ​​water.

"These are white spirit fish!" Looking at the silver fish, Meng Zheng understood.

White spirit fish is rich in spiritual energy. Even in places lacking spiritual energy, white spirit fish can continuously accumulate spiritual energy in its body. After eating it, it can effectively improve personal cultivation.

When there was no space for springs, Mu Yu caught a large number of white spirit fish for the tribal residents to improve their strength.

This method of improvement is very slow, takes a lot of time, and is very inefficient, but in the absence of spiritual veins, spiritual mines, spiritual stones, etc., it is also a good way to obtain spiritual energy.

The white spirit fish is not big in size, only about the length of a palm, and the largest one is no longer than an arm. It is a small fish.

They swim happily in the water, nibbling on the seaweed around them, and look very lively.

When we arrived at the core area of ​​the pasture, we saw three or four fish herder apprentices busy taking care of the fish.

They held fish food in their hands and gently sprinkled it to the fish, which attracted a burst of excitement. At the same time, they also checked the health of the fish from time to time to ensure that every fish was full of energy.

As Meng Zheng stepped forward, a fish herder apprentice noticed him: "Chief? Why are you here?"

The fish herder apprentice seemed very surprised. After realizing what was happening, he quickly called out to the other friends: "Come quickly, the clan leader is here!"

Meng Zheng smiled and nodded to the fish herder apprentices. He said, "I was planning to go to the Hailing Bamboo Forest and didn't expect to come across your grazing pasture. I'm very pleased to see how diligently you take care of the fish."

The apprentices smiled with pride upon hearing this. They gathered around and reported to Meng Zheng about the fish situation.

"Chief, these white spirit fish are growing very fast. We feed them on time every day, and they are all plump now."

"Yes, Chief, we also regularly check their health. Once we find any sick fish, we immediately isolate and treat them to ensure the overall health of the fish population."

Meng Zheng listened to the apprentices' reports and nodded continuously.

He knew that although these apprentice fish herders were young, they were very dedicated and professional in raising fish. It was because of their efforts that the territory's food reserves were so abundant.

"You've done a great job," Meng Zheng praised the apprentices. "Your efforts are key to preventing hunger in the territory. I hope you can continue to maintain this conscientious and responsible attitude and make greater contributions to the territory."

"Tell me what kind of fish you are grazing!" Meng Zheng asked the fish herder who greeted him first.

The fish herder apprentice who was the first to greet Meng Zheng showed a proud look on his face when he heard the clan leader's question, and began to introduce the fish they were herding in detail.

"Chief, the fish we graze mainly include white spirit fish, bluefin fish, and silver perch. You've already seen the white spirit fish; they're rich in spiritual energy and are an important source of food for our territory. Bluefin fish are known for their delicious meat and rich nutritional value, and are a favorite delicacy among our residents. Silver perch, on the other hand, are a relatively rare fish, with tender meat and an excellent taste. We often use them to entertain guests or give them as gifts."

As the fish herder's apprentice spoke, he led Meng Zheng to the other side of a seaweed forest. The colors of the fish here were more distinct, with blue fish and silver fish swimming everywhere.

The apprentice pointed at the swimming fish and continued, "Look, those are bluefin and silver perch over there. They love eating seaweed and crab meat the most. Our crab meat reserves ran out a while ago, so we brought them here so they can nibble on the seaweed."

He pointed to a white spirit fish swimming by and said, "White spirit fish only like to eat seaweed. Whenever we graze bluefin and silver perch, we take the white spirit fish with us and let them eat freely."

"What you have in your hands is fish food made from crab meat!" Meng Zheng noticed the big bag in the hands of the fish herder's apprentice.

"Yes, Chief. Lord Jiang Tao hunts many monsters every day. We decompose the unusable monster carcasses into various feeds to feed the fish." The fish herder apprentice nodded and continued, "The tribesmen only eat the fish we feed. Lord Jiang Tao fights so brutally, always leaving his prey in a state of disarray. Lord Jiang Bin always complains about him."

At this point, the apprentice couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, that's normal. The Raging Waves Warrior hasn't completely learned to master the power, so the Hundred Strike will cause this result." Meng Zheng smiled casually.

"Anyway, the tribe currently has enough food, so we don't need to worry about hunting. However, in this case, your task is very heavy. You must take good care of the fish and ensure that there will be no problem with food. Understand?"
