Chapter 33 Water Crisis

Swamp Wasp

[Level]: Level 5

[Potential]: 1 star

[Racial Talent]: Poison needle, the poison needle on the back is highly toxic, which will cause huge poison damage to the enemy and paralyze the enemy.

[Skill]: Fast flight (1 star) The flight speed is increased by 40%.

Piercing (1 star) The tail needle has a strong piercing force and has armor-breaking damage to armor.

[Evaluation]: The wasps with highly toxic venom will become extremely terrifying if they are led by the queen bee.

The level is all level 5, and there are tens of thousands of them flying outside. Together with the ones hidden inside the nest, hundreds of thousands are conservative estimates.

This terrifying scene made Lear have a question in his mind. Why do those corrupt orcs dare to spy on this scale of swamp wasps?

A single swamp wasp is nothing, but hundreds of thousands of fist-sized swarms are another concept.

Once an attack is launched, it will be a death storm covering the sky and the sun.

Moreover, the swamp wasps also have a queen bee that can control the swarm.

Lear racked his brains but couldn't figure out who gave those corrupt orcs the courage to dare to attack the swamp wasps?

After observing silently for a while, he did not continue to approach and waved his hand to let everyone evacuate.

After leaving this area, Lear opened the magic map and marked it on it.

This is a high-level monster stronghold, and it is still not available now.

Go back and accumulate strength before coming back.

At the moment, he turned around and headed towards the place where the stinking giant mentioned by the swamp tree man.

However, the information given by the swamp tree man was too little. After searching for several hours, there was still no trace of the stinking giant.

Instead, he encountered a group of half-fishmen.

The number of two squadrons increased the potential improvement progress of the wetland lizardmen to 83%.

A small harvest.

At dusk, Lear watched the sun gradually sink into the swamp, and did not stay for long, and began to return.

Under the reflection of the colorful clouds in the sky, he returned to the territory.

I immediately found that the vines that were only two meters high in the morning had grown to three meters, and gradually showed a tendency to surround.

The progress was rapid.

The round vine fairy was still trying to emit light and guide the growth of the starry sky vines.

These little guys are really treasures.

Lear was full of smiles.

After dinner, he called Bain.

This swamp hero was still excited.

The performance of the vine fairy gave him hope of fulfilling his dream.

In the past two days, all the swamp people were organized to discuss and prove the planning and construction of the city of Wei Lu in detail.

The swamp people are natural craftsmen, and each has different views on this aspect. Under the collective efforts, the original plan was gradually improved.

After listening to Bain's enthusiastic report, Lear praised him generously.

Bain said with a blushing face.

"Sir, the construction of the territory has gradually entered the right track. Next, we should reclaim farmland and grow food."

"The Noya rice we carry can last for five months. The fastest-maturing swamp wheat also needs three months to mature. We need to leave a certain amount of time for buffer."

After going deep into the wilderness, in addition to the dangers everywhere, more importantly, it becomes difficult to trade with the outside world.

Relying entirely on buying food from outside is too restrictive.

It's okay now that the population is small. If the population continues to increase, the transportation problem alone will make this option unrealistic.

Reclaiming farmland is a necessary option.

"I asked someone to explore the surrounding area. ↓ There is a large area of ​​silt accumulation 5 kilometers downstream in the south, which can be reclaimed into farmland."

"The soil in this area is very fertile, and there is a constant flow of swamp mud and water irrigation from the upstream, so there will definitely be a good harvest!"

Bain's tone was full of confidence.

This time, they brought enough seeds-swamp wheat.

As long as a little reclamation is done, it can be planted.

Lear nodded and gave serious instructions.

"Starting tomorrow, we will arrange for people to go and reclaim farmland. Remember to bring the wetland lizardmen to be on guard."

"Evacuate in time when you encounter danger. You are the most important wealth of the territory."

Bain felt warm in his heart when he heard this.

Sir, you really care about your subordinates. Thinking of the confusion and anxiety when he was sent to Lear during his dark slave life, he felt very emotional at this moment.

Only when there is a comparison can you know the difference.

His eyes became firm.

He will do everything to build the city of Wei Lu for you!

After communicating about the reclamation of farmland, Bain talked about another key issue-water source.

"Although the swamp is not short of water, the water is full of germs and is not suitable for direct drinking."

"As you said before, boiling it before drinking reduces the diarrhea and illness of the tribe, but the taste of swamp water is too fishy and not suitable for long-term living."

"More urgent than reclaiming farmland is the need to find a clean water source."

Hearing Bain's serious words, Lear's eyes condensed slightly.

If there is no food, you can still get it through hunting and fishing, but if there is no clean water source, it can be fatal.

"I will focus on searching for water sources when I go out to explore these days."

"Are there any other problems that need to be solved?"

"My lord, our manpower is barely enough for now, but if the territory expands, it will be far from enough."

There are only hundreds of swamp people, and the wetland lizardmen as warriors cannot participate in production.

For such a large territory, there are only hundreds of laborers, which is simply impossible.

Li Er nodded.

"I will arrange this."

With the magical skill of the remaining power of the gods, there is a solution to the manpower problem.

But races like the half-murlocs, whose bodies are covered in mucus and smelly, are really disgusting, and he doesn't like them either.

After talking, Lear took a deep breath as he watched Bain's leaving figure.

A blank, slightly exposed city, lacking everything.

Comrades still need to work hard.

After calming down, he stood up and walked out of the tent. The stars were already twinkling in the sky.

Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at the center.

Each of the vine fairies lit up themselves at this moment, becoming light bulbs that controlled the power of starlight and accelerated the growth of starry sky vines.

This has become a sight in the city of Weilu

After instructing Hagas to arrange for personnel to be on guard, he returned to his exclusive tent and fell asleep.

On August 8th, the reclamation of farmland to the south of ↓ began on the morning of the 8th.

At least 50 swamp people are participating, and farming is expected to begin on the 20th.

Swamp wheat, as long as there is a lot of fertile swamp silt and water, can be cultivated all year round, regardless of the season, and can grow in winter.

And it only takes three months to mature, making it the most common and best crop in swamps.

After leaving the swamp, this wheat will lose all its characteristics and its yield will be reduced by half.

This is a crop that belongs exclusively to swamps and is rarely cultivated by outsiders.

For two consecutive days on the 8th and 9th, Lear searched and hunted around the City of Dew.

But there was still no trace of the smelly giant monster that the swamp tree people said. However, on the afternoon of the 9th, traces of the two-headed ogre were found 15 kilometers east of the territory.

This is a huge group of more than 70 people, with an average level of up to 10.

The average height reaches two and a half meters, like little giants.

Two hideous and ugly heads grow on the neck, giving people a chilling feeling.

Wearing animal skin clothing, his body is strong and powerful, and his muscles are like inflated balloons, bulging high.

The weapons around him were all thick trees.

On the land where the two-headed ogres gathered, a dozen rough wooden houses were built.

Lear even discovered that the other party had surrounded a piece of grass and was keeping something in it.

However, it was impossible to see clearly because of the thick grass.

After Lear discovered these two-headed ogres, he did not rush to take action and slowly evacuated the area.

The level difference is too big, and capturing this gathering place of wild monsters will definitely cost a huge price.

The strength in hand is not enough!

This made him feel a little anxious.

The two-headed ogre has built a house and settled down, and will inevitably continue to explore and occupy the land.

It was only a matter of time before Weilu City was discovered by the other party.

He needed to deal with this danger as soon as possible.

In addition to the threat of the two-headed ogre, Lear's water source problem has still not been solved.

After searching a large area for two days, no clean water source was found.

The originally stored water had been exhausted on the night of the 8th, and only half a barrel was left in his tent.

Everyone began to carry buckets to collect water in the swamp and settle it. The next day, it was filtered again with cloth, and then boiled for drinking.

However, the odor and bitterness of the swamp water are still strong, and simple treatment is far from being able to remove it, making it difficult to swallow.

Lear also did not expect that the threat of the swamp monster that he was most worried about did not have much impact. Instead, it was the most inconspicuous water that caused problems first.
