Chapter 174 Sugarcane Fields and Fruit Flies

Dark forest.

Unlike the first time they entered, when they were repeatedly attacked, this time the road was unusually quiet.

Jiang He walked openly on the humus-covered ground, leaving his mark along the way.

Life forms at the Silver Age level are all lords, among which the White Elephant Lord, Island Turtle, and Sky Eagle are the best among the lords. As long as a life form reaches the Silver level, it can create a qualitative gap with the Bronze level and claim territory as its own.

Within each social stratum, the powerful biological forces are regarded as an insurmountable peak.

As a member of the Bronze Age powers, Jiang He had already earned the right to officially roam the edge of the vast wilderness, and the pioneering camp was, in a sense, his own people.

As they continued on their journey, Jiang He suddenly made a move, shattering a large tree beside her with a deafening roar.

After consuming a superior-grade item, the Eternal Regret Dragon Spear not only gained new abilities, but its weight also increased, reaching two hundred jin (approximately 100 kg).

A large tree collapsed, and a chameleon the size of a calf was brutally dismembered, its mutilated body completely rotting.

"It works well."

In Jiang He's eyes, a fluorescent light disappeared. The rare-level passive skill, Eye of Truth, could see through disguises, making it difficult for beings below the Silver level to remain silent in front of him.

The eagle started a fire and used a thin stone slab to fry the chameleon's scraps of meat into patties.

Jiang He swallowed it whole. Although the chameleon didn't quite fit his eating habits, given the Garuda fetus's gluttonous ability, increasing his strength was the priority. However, humanoid aliens were still outside his diet. After transforming into a powerful being, he was now entitled to decide his actions based on his preferences.

Without any seasoning, the chameleon cake retains the original flavor of the meat, much like pork tenderloin drizzled with icing sugar. It has a sweet and chewy texture, making it a perfect afternoon tea dessert.

[Binge eating progress bar: 1%]

"An elite mutant can only provide 1% of the progress?"

Jiang He extinguished the campfire and continued forward. After digesting the alien meat, one stream flowed as energy to his heart for storage to maintain bodily functions, while the other stream was a refined supernatural factor that accumulated in his gluttony ability, waiting for sublimation and qualitative change.

Two hours later, the eagle led someone through the forest to the icy cliff they had visited before.

The icy cliffs stretched for countless miles. At the end of this route, sugarcane fields, like spears planted across the earth, covered an area of ​​several miles. Each sugarcane stalk was a crystal-yellow color, quite different from the normal variety.

Wuhe came online and, using the body of a horned eagle, said: "Boss, thirty miles north of here is a herd of exotic argali sheep, and to the south is a herd of dryland crocodiles. The fruit fly swarm is in the sugarcane field."

Jiang He had the idea of ​​raising a herd of blue sheep to provide him with meat. For blue sheep, the most important thing is salt. In order to obtain salt and avoid predators, blue sheep have evolved excellent climbing ability and can lick the salt on cliffs to survive.

The entire Dark Forest is extremely lush and has no shortage of plants. Beyond the border lies the South China Sea, providing a continuous source of sea salt. By changing the appearance of the Rubik's Cube dolls with costume brooches to serve as employees, it also has the foundation to establish a small organization.

"The bloody trade in foreign species."

Jiang He walked into the sugarcane field.

Upon sensing the intrusion of the enemy into their territory, an incredibly dense buzzing sound arose, and countless fruit flies emerged from every corner like a black mist. Each one was only about half the size of a thumb, and all of them had sharp, pointed mouthparts. The leader of the fruit flies was as big as a human head, and its appearance was far more ferocious than imagined.

Buzz!

The swarm of fruit flies quickly approaches; the large prey has entered the sugarcane field and will be sucked into jerky in the blink of an eye.

Without any hesitation, Jiang He immediately activated the excellent-grade active skill, "Withered and Flourishing Taoist Temple".

A phantom of a Taoist temple descends, with wisps of withered light appearing within a fifty-meter radius around it. Targeted enemy units will suffer 20 points of withering damage per second.

Zizizi!

In just a few seconds, a massive number of fruit flies that entered the area covered by the Taoist temple died or were injured. The ground looked as if it were covered with a black blanket. Individually, these fruit flies were far from strong, and their life force was even far inferior to that of normal people.

The fruit fly leader was startled and turned to fly away.

Jiang He reached out, and a thorny thorn several tens of meters long shot out from his palm, accurately capturing the fruit fly leader. To prevent accidentally killing the opponent, he deliberately released the weakest of the three energy traits, withering.

Defenses broken, thorns retracted, skill terminated.

A mutant beast, whose combat strength was inferior to that of an ordinary grandmaster, lay waiting to be slaughtered.

Jiang He lashed out with his whip, and the fruit fly leader, who had been feigning death, suddenly began to tremble violently, spinning around in circles in an attempt to alleviate the pain. Sharp buzzing sounds emanated from around its mouthparts.

"It really is true that you can't get a spin without smoking it."

Jiang He put on the fly ring, then stuffed the fruit fly leader into the feeding space inside the ring and injected corrosive energy. Theoretically, bronze life forms cannot withstand blood poison and can only settle for second best.

Flies raised in a fertilized environment will exhibit drastically different properties depending on the energy they are fed.

A few minutes later, when the fruit fly leader flew out, Jiang He could see its rough information, which was similar to that of the Blood Servant.

[Creature Name: Leader of the Carrion Flies]

[Category: Dependents]

[Life Level: Peak Being of the Bronze Age]

[Innate Talent: Rapid Reproduction]

[Energy Property: Secondary Corrosion]

After becoming a subordinate, Jiang He clearly felt that he could command the other party and immediately issued orders.

As the leader of the carrion flies buzzed, swarms of fruit flies gathered and flew into the fly ring to transform, then entered a dormant state to conserve energy.

"The first generation of rotten flies is merely an extension of the ability to corrode."

Jiang He made a judgment: fly swarms are unlikely to play a decisive role, but they can enrich combat methods and may be surprisingly effective in spreading hellish smallpox.

“Wuhe, send a thousand-man team to transplant sugarcane. I’ve left markers along the way.”

"clear."

Jiang He turned and ran north.

The icy cliffs seemed to stretch endlessly, occasionally bursting forth with azure ice mist, and blood-red waterfalls cascading down. After traveling thirty miles, Jiang He spotted a herd of argali sheep on the cliff face.

Last time he came, he was almost helpless against the herd of argali sheep. In the end, he only managed to trade talismans with Cangshan Fuxue by poisoning a group of them with the help of the Crimson Spider.

Jiang He stood at the foot of the cliff, casually took out the Crimson Baptism. The alchemical piercing bullets had been used up, so he temporarily loaded ordinary bullets. With three rare-level shooting abilities, it was enough to make up for the lack of penetration.

Mount the gun, aim, and pull the trigger.

Gunshots rang out.

One by one, the ibex on the cliff were shot and fell to their deaths. The herd bleated uneasily. The alpha male glared at someone who had all the ewes under his control; in other words, the other man was slaughtering his wife.

Meow!

Hundreds of blue sheep died.

The ram leader could no longer tolerate it.

Under his leadership, the ibex nimbly leaped repeatedly from the cliff to the ground before launching their charge.

Like a thousand cavalry galloping on a battlefield, nearly a thousand argali sheep moved swiftly, their hooves pounding the ground, causing it to tremble slightly.

Jiang He spread his blood wings and soared into the air, sending three thousand six hundred iron feathers flying through the air, all enhanced with perfect-grade blood poison.

shhhhhh!

Blood poison and iron feathers flew out, and the first two hundred members of the flock fell down as if wheat were being harvested.

The ram, its leader riddled with over a dozen iron feathers, collapsed and died. The deadly poison took effect so quickly that it gave the ram no chance to struggle.

Chapter 175 Passive Rock Sheep Leap

Beneath the icy cliffs, the carcasses of ibex lay strewn across the ground.

Without its leader, the flock of sheep scattered and fled. Jiang He simply flapped his wings and took to the air, wielding a whip dozens of meters long to drive them away.

Snapped!

A ibex was struck by a long whip of thorns and immediately began bleating wildly, spinning around in circles.

"Does it really hurt that much?"

Jiang He decisively slapped himself. He needed to accurately estimate the power of the Thorn Hand. This rare ability lacked offensive capabilities, and its extraordinary attributes seemed to be entirely focused on pain.

As the thorns rubbed against his skin, even through the intermediate-level toughness of the Holy Iron External Skill, an uncontrollable, excruciating pain still assaulted his mind, as if barbed iron needles pierced his eyeballs and were then violently pulled out. Veins bulged on Jiang He's forehead as he forcefully stopped his descent.

"Something specifically designed for abuse."

After resting for a short while, Jiang He drove the sheep together.

The strong smell of blood attracted a large number of carnivorous alien species, and the dark forest was filled with malevolent, bloodthirsty eyes.

A two-headed leopard tentatively stepped out of the forest, only to be blasted to death by a phantom of a dragon several meters long.

An elite predator died before my eyes.

The restless alien species barely managed to quiet down.

However, the situation only lasted for a few minutes. The twenty-odd predators of various species seemed to have reached an agreement and emerged from the forest together. Although their opponents below the cliff exuded a ferocious and powerful aura, their hunting instincts made them unwilling to retreat.

Jiang He even suspected that if they delayed for another half a day, even silver-level mutant predators would be attracted. Under normal circumstances, silver-level mutants might not be very interested in low-level flesh and blood, but when the amount of flesh and blood reaches a certain level, it can also cause a qualitative change.

As the probing deepened, more alien species emerged, with a striped tiger leading the way. Its life level had surpassed that of an elite and reached its peak. Its size was about half that of an elephant, and its powerful muscles resembled stacked steel bars.

Roar!

A deep, solemn roar erupted, and the tiger's howl echoed through the forest. The alien species closest to the tiger experienced intense dizziness.

call out!

Jiang He seemed completely unaffected by the tiger's roar that was attacking his spirit. He raised his hand and thrust out a spear that could destroy mountains and cities. Two thin, thread-like spear lights flew out one after the other, hitting the tiger's head directly. The first one shattered the energy defense that had risen on its body, and the second one pierced through its flesh and bones, shattering its skull.

The tiger crashed to the ground, killed instantly by a single shot.

At the same time, Jiang He flapped his wings again, and the Iron Feathers, which had recovered, shot out into the air for the second time, with streaks of dark red light filling the sky and covering the ground.

The alien predators, who had been tricked out, suffered a terrible defeat, with more than fifty aliens dying. Terrified screams filled the air, and all the beasts fled back to the forest.

Jiang He waited for half an hour, and the atmosphere in the forest became increasingly oppressive. Finally, the vicious soldiers arrived. Half of the sugarcane forest had been cut down and loaded onto wooden carts. Hundreds of samples were preserved intact for transplantation.

"Boss, we've reaped too much. We'll probably be attacked on the way back. If we attract the Silver Lifeforms, it'll be very troublesome," Wuhe said. On the way here, the team suffered several non-combat casualties. Man-eating flowers and poisonous insects killed five vicious soldiers. Survival in the vast wilderness is quite cruel.

The greatest danger is always the unknown.

There is an absolute conclusion that there are Golden Age life forms in the border region. With the current strength of the leader, if he goes all out, he can hold off ordinary Silver Life forms for a considerable period of time. However, if he wants to pursue victory, there are only two methods: bombing and poisoning.

“Then let’s abandon some of them. There’s a trade-off. Let’s take one hundred dead ibex from the ground, put them on a fire to roast, and then we’ll retreat with our harvest.”

"clear."

Wuhe commanded the evil soldiers to start a fire and roast meat, then manipulated the horned eagles to lead the group away.

After walking only a few steps into the dark forest, the roars of beasts echoed behind them. More and more strange creatures joined this gluttonous feast, with the roles of eater and prey constantly shifting.

Until they were completely away from the icy cliff area, a strange and sharp hissing sound could be heard for hundreds of miles.

Jiang He turned around, and the combination of his snake eyes and eagle eyes allowed him to see a giant life form that suddenly appeared in the direction of the cliff, its temperature like molten iron, surrounded by orange-red.

At the same time, plumes of white mist rose into the air from the icy cliffs.

"Boss?"

"It should be a snake. Its threat level is above that of the Dao Leader, but not to the point of having an absolute advantage. It is similar to the White Elephant Lord and the Island Turtle, and its length exceeds 500 meters. It has awakened from the ice, so it is probably hungry."

Jiang He ordered an accelerated evacuation. The cliff face was covered with blood-red waterfalls, which might be related to this giant snake.

……

As night fell, the team returned to camp.

The sugarcane planting project was launched immediately.

Wuhe specially set aside a sheep-raising team of 500 people to raise the argali sheep on the left and right cliffs. Among them, 200 evil soldiers used disguise brooches to change their bodies to be completely black and went to the sea to fetch water under the cover of night. One kilogram of seawater contains an average of 35 grams of salt, which is enough to sustain the sheep for a long time.

Old Hei personally took charge of the sugarcane refining process.

Who do you think has more potential?

At night, the animal team gathered around the campfire.

The ruthless chef team processed the ibex carcass, simply roasted it, and delivered it to someone.

At this moment, more than twenty male Himalayan ibex, of varying sizes, have gathered together.

Jiang He asked the members for their opinions. After his mental strength was improved, he gained two more slots for Blood Servant. Whoever became a Blood Servant would gain support and become the leader of the tribe.

Zhuang Ya swallowed the tiger's head whole and mumbled, "Twenty-four."

"Don't become obsessed," Jiang He said helplessly.
