Reclaiming Wasteland and Farming: My Haunted Fields Are Spawning Monsters Infinitely

Chapter 130 I'm Growing Mushrooms in the Wasteland

Li Qingshan pushed open the door and entered the earthen house, saying, "Old Zhang, take a look and see if there's anything suitable for you."

"No need to look anymore," Old Zhang said. "I've already sensed them all, and none of these corpses are connected to me."

"Not even one?" Li Qingshan asked. "Aren't you being too picky?"

Old Zhang closed his eyes and stopped talking.

At this moment, Zhou Huwa was distributing food to the people outside.

A corpse can be exchanged for two kilograms of wheat, which is basically enough to supply an adult's daily needs. If you are more frugal and mix in some wild vegetables and roots, it can last for several days.

Humans are truly a very frugal species.

A small amount of carbohydrates is enough to sustain you for a whole day of activities.

The refugees outside the village had lost count of how long it had been since they had seen food; their stomachs were stuffed with grass roots and tree bark.

At that moment, as they received the pure white grain, tears welled up in their eyes.

"Thank you, sir."

"Please have mercy, sir."

Everyone set up their pots and started cooking, and white smoke rose into the sky outside the village.

A horse-drawn carriage passed by nearby.

The woman inside the car lifted the curtain and glanced outside.

She herself was elegant and noble, wearing a cloth armor, with two maids serving her beside her, both in their early twenties, with black hair flowing down their shoulders, like lotus flowers emerging from the water.

"Let's go see what's going on."

"Yes."

The driver agreed and sped away, returning shortly afterward.

"General Qi, there's a village on the hill that seems to be distributing grain?"

"Food relief?" The woman leaned back, the two women behind her massaging her shoulders. "Giving food relief now? Isn't that foolish?"

"It doesn't seem to be simple food relief," the refugees said. "They say you have to exchange corpses for it; one corpse for two pounds of grain."

"So he's a heretical cultivator too." The woman rested her head on the chests of the two women behind her. "Let's go to the military camp first."

The carriage creaked and groaned as it moved forward.

Not far behind him, a black-clad cavalry slowly appeared.

He rode a black horse, wielded a black sword, and wore black armor. His face was covered with black iron, with only his eyes exposed.

Night fell, and darkness enveloped the wilderness.

The refugees remained gathered outside the village and did not leave.

Once people are full, they start having other thoughts.

One of the bolder ones peered into the building from the front gate.

What is this person doing collecting so many corpses?

blah blah.

Suddenly, a skeleton emerged from the darkness, its bones swaying and shimmering with white phosphorescence.

"what!"

The refugee staggered back a few steps, and no one dared to look inside anymore.

midnight.

Li Qingshan stood alone in front of the ominous field.

He held the Ghost Mask Roar in his hand.

The black iron spear was left in the fierce field, and for now, he is using the demon-faced roar as his weapon.

Today is the day the monsters spawn, and I wonder what kind of monsters will spawn.

Fortunately, I had made sufficient preparations.

The monster spawner was firmly fixed to the ground, and the entrance door was closed tightly.

We're just waiting for the monster to show itself.

Time until next refresh: 5 minutes and 49 seconds. Suddenly, white mist rose in the field, and a familiar rustling sound could be heard.

coming.

Li Qingshan roused himself, hoisted the ghost mask onto his shoulder, and roared forward.

Whoosh!

Roars echoed from within the white mist, and Li Qingshan secretly felt smug.

This must be a monster that has just spawned and is trapped in an iron cage, now enraged and powerless.

I've set up the monster spawner correctly.

This is the first time we've seen results since the mob spawner was set up.

As Li Qingshan got closer, he could see the monster's appearance clearly.

It was practically a white mountain of flesh, covered in layers of white hair, with countless little finger-sized bumps on its surface.

Now, it is firmly trapped in the iron cage, motionless.

Li Qingshan nodded. Now that the monster was trapped, the next step was to slowly whittle down its health.

Suddenly, the monster seemed to sense Li Qingshan's presence. The protrusions on its body sprang out and scattered in all directions through the gaps in the iron cage.

Along with it, there was a sweet aroma.

Oops!

Li Qingshan immediately retreated. Evil spirits come in all shapes and sizes, and those that can kill people do not know their physical form.

Fortunately, Li Qingshan had been tempered by the barbarian curse, so he only felt dizzy for a moment and then immediately recovered.

Those white bumps fell into the soil and immediately grew, quickly becoming the size of a palm.

Li Qingshan secretly felt lucky; if it had happened to him, he wondered if it would have taken root and grown in the same way.

Fortunately, the white protrusion was a one-time use item; it did not attack again after landing.

Li Qingshan approached with his knife, pondering how to kill it, whether he should light a fire and roast the white mountain of flesh from a distance.

I wonder what it tastes like.

Suddenly, an idea popped into my head.

I dare not eat it myself, but I can let the iron pig eat it.

No matter what iron-eating pigs eat, they can all be converted into fertilizer.

Li Qingshan immediately released the iron-eating boar, which came running at the smell.

The mountain of flesh in the iron cage seemed to sense fear; after a spasm, it suddenly began to burrow into the ground.

Want to escape?

So, do you really think you can escape?

Almost in the blink of an eye, the white mountain of flesh disappeared, leaving a large pit inside the iron cage, exposing the red soil inside.

It really escaped.

Could the monsters that respawned possibly escape back?

Li Qingshan arrived at the old locust tree and began reading the monster's information.

Multi-Insect Fungus Mountain: A unique species from the underworld, resembling neither insect nor grass, with delicious flesh, it is an excellent ingredient for cooking and grilling.

Note that eating more of its meat will enhance its charm.

Requires Green Locust Coins: 00/00

Ok?

It seems that only monsters that you have killed can be respawned a second time through the Ghost Tree.

Li Qingshan was somewhat disappointed. Today was practically fruitless; all he got was the iron-eating boar gnawing on the ground.

Li Qingshan drove the black pig back into the pit and saw that there were still a few white mushrooms left in the nearby wild field.

He cautiously reached out his hand, and with a burst of courage, touched it. A string of information floated before his eyes:

Insect-infested mushrooms: They are voracious eaters and can grow in almost any environment, draining the host of its nutrients.

The meat is coarse, sinewy, and tasteless.

Huh?

Li Qingshan was stunned again.

The information I read only said that this mushroom was hard to eat, but it didn't say that it was inedible.

But in the present-day North, is the food unpalatable a problem? Not at all.

Moreover, it can grow under any circumstances.

If we give these to refugees, wouldn't that save us food?

Although Li Qingshan had some food reserves, more than enough for himself, it was still a drop in the ocean when faced with so many disaster victims.

Having already formed a guess, the next step was to boldly seek confirmation.

The first step Li Qingshan needed to take was to find someone to test it out.

The only living things in Huai Shu Village are himself, Old Zhang, the skeleton, Zhou Huwa, and two living corpses.

There are also iron-eating pigs.

Apart from myself and Zhou Huwa, the others hardly need to eat anything.

Iron-eating pigs eat everything.

Li Qingshan shook the bell, summoning two zombies and ordering them to eat the multi-insect mushrooms.

The two zombies ate with great difficulty, but after finishing, they did not die from poisoning.

There were no other unusual signs.

Perhaps, this kind of mushroom really can be grown.
