Chapter 466 New Outpost

(Ahem, the update is a little late!)

With the help of Li Yan's outpost core, the small outpost that can only accommodate 100 people has been rapidly expanded to a standard outpost that can accommodate at least 800 people.

A large number of tree houses rooted and parasitic on giant vines are used as their temporary residence.

While providing housing for ten people, the tree houses also use their excess nutrients to produce fruits - a kind of fruit similar to citrus, containing water and trace elements of sugar, which is enough to sustain the daily needs of one person.

If you plant it on the same day, it will start to bear fruit on the same day, and after a week, it will steadily supply 3 servings of fruit every day.

It's a pity that this is a special building for wood elves and tree people.

The special houses of other races have their own characteristics.

The ratmen have underground residences. These natural excavation engineers can build a dense network of nests like towns underground. The characteristics in their genes make them more tolerant of dark and narrow environments without reducing comfort.

These underground dwellings do not require too many resources, and have stronger concealment and security. Slave rats can dig out safe underground dwellings for a large number of people if they have the tools.

Elves have natural houses that can increase the reserves of environmental elements, but they need to pay a higher cost than ordinary residences, and the recovery speed of spells in them will be faster.

It is conducive to cultivating better spellcasters.

Dwarf craftsmen have houses that can be used as front-line bunkers, which provide excellent defense and a better living environment than ordinary bunkers. They are also experts in underground engineering.

Living in a mixed stone residence is always safer than a wooden house.

Elemental life can find a piece of land to lie down and solidify itself into a special house with defensive power.

Book back to the topic.

"Sir, dinner tonight is mud crabs, and some citrus produced by tree people and tree houses."

In fact, Ji Lin didn't want the tree people to provide food, but he couldn't help but patted Li Yan's chest and said to eat more. It was normal for tree people to bear some fruit.

He felt that he had to do something, otherwise he would look like a freeloader and a clinger.

It would be better to let him use the tree people's fortification skills.

"Yeah."

Ji Lin nodded, looking at Li Yan who was running around among the soldiers with enthusiasm, patting the tree house and boasting about the benefits of the tree house.

It seems that he really hasn't been in contact with ordinary humans for too long.

It made him feel suffocated.

There were more than a dozen 10-meter-high tree houses on the originally flat vine platform. The 10-meter-high tree trunks were used to prevent attacks from insect units that were too close to the ground, and the smell of the trees also drove away some of the insects that approached.

Unfortunately, after leaving the outpost core, the time required to build a building will be delayed several times, and the building materials need to be airlifted to the site.

He planned to let Li Yan return to his base with the fleet first, and place his outpost core on the super-large sky island of the 꺘 Sky Island... Ji Lin's outpost core has been placed on a small sky island to transform into a permanent floating fortress.

The base on the super-large sky island needs to build a large number of buildings manually, which wastes a lot of precious time that should have been used to expand the base.

"I'll try the taste of this fruit."

Ji Lin poked a small hole in the green-looking citrus in his mouth, but the skin was already very fluffy and bulging. He then easily tore the fluffy citrus skin along the small hole.

Twelve translucent orange translucent flesh was exposed, and one of the petals was removed and put into his mouth. Ji Lin closed his eyes slightly and felt the sweet juice and soft flesh emanating from the mouth.

Sweet and not sour.

"Well, this kind of tangerine tastes good."

While eating tangerines, he looked at Li Yan, who was speaking eloquently to the officers in the distance like an entrepreneur who came to bid.

He was in high spirits and brought his elf/treeman adjutant to introduce the help that treemen and bee colonies could provide to them.

The bees could help this small outpost collect necessary resources without the soldiers having to risk their lives to mine special forest resources in the jungle. This alone was enough to make him popular among the officers.

Especially, these bees would not nibble on the food they were eating like hunting spiders.

These officers also took notes in their little notebooks after taking out what he said very seriously.

This was very useful to Li Yan.

What was common sense to him was completely new knowledge that these officers had never come into contact with. They needed to consider how the other army could make the best tactical combination with their own troops.

Ji Lin did not interrupt his thoughts. It was a good thing that Li Yan liked to share information, which represented his trust in himself.

The soldiers were divided into teams, sitting neatly around the campfire and sharing their experiences with other comrades, evaluating the quality of today's food.

Evaluating the difference in taste between these mud crabs and the sea mud crabs specially raised in the territory...

The sea mud crabs near the ocean have a unique seafood smell, but the meat tastes smoother and smoother. The sea mud crabs harvested when they grow to a certain size are definitely tender enough.

The common mud crabs living in the vine forest have a unique forest fresh smell. The crab meat is more chewy after being cooked. The crab sticks of these big guys even need to be cut with a knife - one person can't finish a whole one.

Ji Lin looked at the crab sticks in the pot, wondering if eating too much of this thing would give him gout.

Land crabs and sea crabs should be... the same?

I don't know why these vines can grow so big... In the past, he only looked at the giant vines on the sky island from a distance, but he didn't expect that these vines would be thicker and larger once they grew on land than when they were hanging down.

The pipelines that transport nutrients can be directly dug to obtain mucus that can replenish water... It will be better if they are processed a little.

A large number of plants choose to parasitize these giant vines directly after contacting the soil, extracting their nutrients to feed themselves.

Organisms that cannot use giant vines feed on these parasitic plants.

Ji Lin nibbled a piece of crab meat, and it was a bit of a headache to think that he would have to nibble crab meat every day.

He didn't plan to go back with the team, and there was no place in the territory that needed him too much, but it was more important to completely deal with these newcomers.

Ask Li Yan if he wants the tree people to produce more other kinds of fruits.
