Chapter 21 Nursery Pond
After the old blind man left, Yang Yi went to find the murloc tidecaller Slark. Slark had nothing to do in the murloc village all day long, just quietly staying in a secluded place to meditate alone.
When Yang Yi came, Slark had just finished meditating and was wandering around aimlessly.
"Hello, village chief."
As a magic professional, Slark was considered to be a smarter murloc. When he saw Yang Yi coming, he began to greet him from a distance.
"I was looking for you. This lord asked if you wanted to become an alchemist." Yang Yi said straight to the point, while shaking the alchemist's notebook in his hand at the other party.
"Yes." Slark glanced at the animal skin notebook in Yang Yi's hand, and then gave the shortest answer in a steady tone.
"Why is this reaction? Can you be more excited?"
You should know that becoming an alchemist is the choice of most mages, and most of those famous mages have an enviable alchemy level. Originally, Yang Yi thought that even if Slark didn't cry and express gratitude, he would at least happily accept the notes and thank him as the village chief.
"If you want... take it." Yang Yi squeezed out a sentence depressedly. Slark's cold reaction made him unable to use any of the lines he had prepared to ask the other party not to thank him and encourage him to work hard, which almost made him hurt.
"I will try my best." Slark reached out to take the notes, said solemnly, and then retreated respectfully.
"This fishman..." Yang Yi was speechless.
I didn't expect that there was such a unique fishman in the fishman village. Usually this guy hid in the corner quietly and didn't notice it.
"We have to ask the old blind eye to arrange someone to send the alchemy table to this fishman tide caller, and we have to find a hidden place."
...&...
There are many fishman seedlings looking for food everywhere on the merchant coast. The fishmen arranged by the old blind eye are also very efficient. In less than two days, more than 50 fishman seedlings of various sizes were put into the four ponds of the fishman nursery pool.
These large and small murloc seedlings were put into four ponds according to their size.
The murloc seedlings have big heads on their small bodies, and they look silly and cute. They are much cuter than the ferocious-looking adult murlocs in Ratchet Village.
Now Yang Yi's favorite place to stay after returning to the murloc village is the murloc nursery pond. Watching these little guys with big heads that are seriously out of proportion to their bodies swimming around in the water and playing and looking for food, he occasionally sprinkles a handful of seaweed or tears a few pieces of fresh fish meat into the pond to feed the murloc seedlings.
Under normal circumstances, it takes a year for a murloc to grow from a murloc egg to a small murloc that can fully adapt to life on the shore, and the murloc egg and murloc embryo stage is less than two months, and most of the time is in the murloc seedling stage.
One of the system special effects of the murloc nursery pond is that it can speed up the growth of murloc seedlings. Yang Yi doesn't know how much faster this "speed up" can be.
Old Blind Eye has been running to the fishman nursery pond whenever he has time these days. As he said, the fishman nursery pond is extremely important for the population growth of the fishman village. He stares at the fishman seedlings every day and wishes that these fishman seedlings will crawl out of the water immediately.
"Lord, a lot of lobster man seedlings have hatched from lobster man eggs these days. How to deal with these lobster man seedlings?" Old Blind Eye asked.
When killing the slippery shell lobster man before, lobster man eggs were found. At that time, Yang Yi asked Old Blind Eye to bring all these eggs back to the Thorn Tooth Village. Later, a little statistics showed that more than 200 lobster man eggs were brought back, and these eggs have been kept in a puddle in the village.
Now more than ten years have passed, and most of these lobster man eggs have hatched in the past two days.
"What do you think should be done with these lobster man seedlings?" Yang Yi asked back. Old Blind Eye still knows more about these things.
Yang Yi asked the old blind eye to bring back the lobsterman eggs just on a whim to raise the lobsterman, but it didn't seem so easy. The ratchet village is still worried about the food problem of the fishmen, and they will have to feed these fishmen in the future. It is too unrealistic to feed these big lobstermen at this time.
"These lobsterman fry will not survive for a few days without food in the puddle. It is better to take them to the nursery pond to feed the fishmen." The old blind eye suggested.
Just feed the fishmen directly? Yang Yi always felt a little reluctant, but after thinking about it, he had no other ideas, so he nodded in agreement.
The old blind eye arranged for the fishmen to fish out the lobsterman fry. Soon, two fishmen came to the fishmen nursery pond with the wooden barrels and copper basins found in the ruins of the ratchet city.
The adult lobsterman is nearly four meters tall and weighs more than two hundred kilograms. It is really huge, but the newly hatched lobsterman fry is only four or five centimeters long.
These translucent little crayfish seedlings squeezed in the container, flapping their tails and struggling. It was hard to believe that they could grow so big in the future.
The fish-man nursery pond was divided into four ponds. Yang Yi specially numbered the four ponds for the convenience of management.
The fish-man seedlings in pond No. 1 were just hatched. They were not even the size of an adult human's little finger and could only survive on plankton.
The fish-man seedlings in pond No. 2 grew a little bigger. The largest one was the size of an adult human's fist. At this time, the fish-man seedlings had not grown teeth yet. They mainly survived on plankton and scraped seaweed with their hard keratin mouths.
The fish-man seedlings in ponds No. 3 and No. 4 have grown to a certain size. Although the front fins have not yet become fish-man hands, they can use their mouths to hunt like fish.
Old Blind Eye meant to put these lobster man seedlings into Pond No. 4, because the fish man seedlings in Pond No. 4 are the largest and have the strongest predation ability, and they can eat all these lobster man seedlings very quickly.
The two fish men wanted to put the lobster man seedlings into Pond No. 4 according to Old Blind Eye's arrangement, but Yang Yi stopped them.
"Wait, put the lobster man seedlings into Ponds No. 2 and No. 3 first, and move them to Pond No. 4 when they grow up a little bit." Yang Yi said.
At first, Yang Yi thought that the lobster man was too big to feed, but he changed his mind after seeing that the lobster man seedlings were so small.
Yang Yi wanted to try to raise them for a while, anyway, with the current size of the lobster man seedlings, it would not cost much food in the early stage.
Yang Yi planned to throw these lobster man seedlings into the fish man seedling pond and let the fish man seedlings help to screen them, to see if a few powerful lobster men could be left in the end.
Yang Yi still had great expectations for the lobstermen raised in the ratchet village. Unlike the Naga who raised lobstermen for shrimp meat, Yang Yi's goal was to enslave these lobstermen.
Lobstermen are tall and strong, and their strength is much greater than that of fishmen. It is very good to enslave them to do some hard work. Moreover, these powerful warriors who are born with armor and claws are a very good supplement to the combat power of the fishman village, and it is perfect to use them to charge into battle.
"Yes, lord." The old blind man followed Yang Yi's arrangement without hesitation. He had an attitude of [attitude: fanaticism] towards Yang Yi, the fishman lord.
Fishmen and lobstermen are natural enemies. During the period of fishmen and lobstermen, they are predators. These lobstermen were put into ponds 2 and 3, and immediately caused a commotion in the ponds.
Yang Yi also considered choosing ponds 2 and 3, because the fishmen in these two ponds are stronger than the newly hatched lobstermen, and there is no need to worry about the lobstermen causing heavy casualties to the fishmen.
After the lobster man seedlings were put into the pond, the fish man seedlings that had been living comfortably in the pond changed. The fish man seedlings in pond No. 3 began to try to hunt lobster man seedlings with their mouths, while pond No. 2 was still unable to prey on the fish man seedlings, but some local conflicts also occurred.
"It's good to cultivate combat capabilities from an early age."
Yang Yi suddenly found an unexpected surprise after seeing what happened in ponds No. 2 and No. 3. Originally, he planned that it would be best if these lobster man seedlings could survive in the pond. If they couldn't survive, they would die. Unexpectedly, it seemed to stimulate the combat instinct of the fish man seedlings.
"Lord, you are wise." The old blind man thought about it after listening to Yang Yi's words, and then he admired Yang Yi, the fish man lord, even more.
"Of course, this lord is wise, hahaha." Yang Yi was very proud of the result of his accidental hit. .
