Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System

Chapter 71: Profiting Big Time


Increase food production, shorten the planting cycle, reduce livestock growth cycle, increase weight limit, plus immunity to diseases and safe production of offspring...

The three attributes of the Horn of Fertility, any one of them can be considered top-notch.

All three combined... what is a Divine Artifact? This is a Divine Artifact!

A huge profit, a huge profit indeed!!

Lear's breathing was a bit unsteady.

This treasure is simply perfect for developing the territory!!

Earth Mother Goddess, you are truly the eternal god!

He suddenly felt an eagerness to return to the territory.

Now, he just wants to immediately reclaim the farmland, plant the wheat, and then bind the Three-tailed Pig and Dragon Blood Red Fish, letting them grow rapidly!

The appearance of this treasure has suddenly enhanced the foundation of Weilu City by a large margin!

And the stronger the territory, the greater the role of this treasure, simply with limitless potential!

After calming down, he let the Two-headed Giant Chief in better condition continue searching with the Wetland Lizardman Warriors.

Unfortunately, no further discoveries could be made.

The Foul Giant Demon seemed to have simply used this place as its station.

But with the Horn of Fertility in hand this time, he had already made a huge profit, so why ask for more.

After confirming there was nothing more to be gained, Lear came to the shattered statue, placed his right hand over his chest, and bowed.

Then he left the relic building.

Passing through the water curtain-like space to the outside, the Bubble Beast had just collected all the corpses.

The scattered body parts were devoured clean by the Mire Wasp, and even the blood on the ground had been licked, making the scene much cleaner.

The everyday food of these fierce insects is the various lives in the swamp.

The swamp is rich in life, not only with fierce wild monsters, but also an abundance of insects, allowing them to maintain a large population through hunting.

But because of this, their population numbers will always have a certain limit.

Food is an everlasting issue.

Once there are too many members, feeding oneself every day becomes a heavy burden.

This might also be the biggest difference between hunting and farming.

Gathering the army, they returned straight to the territory.

The journey was silent.

Lear returned to Weilu City in high spirits and set foot on his territory.

Feeling something in his heart, he immediately gripped the Horn of Fertility in his hand and immersed his mind in it.

The next moment, a special perception surfaced in his mind.

In the future, as long as the Horn of Fertility is placed within the territory, centered around Weilu City—a radius of 50 kilometers, the residents' expansion, occupation, cultivation, and breeding will all be protected by the Horn of Fertility.

Once they leave the territory, they will lose this enhancement.

A radius of 50 kilometers, this almost covers the entire Mire Swamp!

Lear laughed heartily.

He waved the Bubble Beast to transport the corpses to the Treant area, and then hurried to the pig farm 3 kilometers southeast.

Watching the Three-tailed Pigs grunting and happily eating wild grass within the pen, he was full of anticipation.

With a thought, he mentally activated the Horn of Fertility.

The next moment, he imprinted the breath of the Three-tailed Pigs within the Horn of Fertility.

Soon after, a new attribute appeared on the panel—

Livestock Prosperity, able to bind 5 types of livestock and poultry, reducing their growth cycle by 50%, and their weight limit increased by 30%... already bound (Three-tailed Pig).

It's done!

The Three-tailed Pig just needs three months to grow to 600 kilograms.

A 50% reduction in growth cycle... so it only takes one and a half months to grow to 600 kilograms.

45 days, 600 kilograms, averaging——13.3 kilograms per day?

Lear smacked his lips, finding it a bit unbelievable.

Gaining over a dozen kilograms of meat a day, could they eat that much??

Moreover, with the Horn of Fertility, the Three-tailed Pigs can also be immune to diseases, and no problems like difficult births for their offspring.

They can completely eat freely and reproduce freely!!

This is just too incredible!!

The pig farming business is about to take off!!

Hahaha...

The Mud Swamp People and Deltha, who were responsible for caring for the Three-tailed Pigs, watched their Sovereign laughing towards the pigs at the pig pen gate.

Instantly, they were all full of curiosity.

What did Lord Lear see? How could he be so happy looking at the pigs?

After he left, a few people curiously stood where he had stood, trying to laugh out loud as well...

Lear, who hadn't walked far, turned around hearing the commotion behind, instantly with a black line on his face.

These top-notch guys, do you think I was just gleefully staring at pigs?

A few Mud Swamp People felt something was wrong, turned their heads, and were instantly scared, their legs trembling, feeling a chill down their spines, and scurried off to work.

The cheerful Lear twitched his mouth, not bothering with these guys, and after returning to the territory, immediately headed to the fish farm northward.

Standing on the shore, these brightly colored, long-mustached 2 Stars magic life forms were happily eating Fish Tail Grass.

In stark contrast to their previous unyielding refusal to eat a few days ago.

The strategic value of Dragon Blood Red Fish, even if not as great as the Three-tailed Pig, is still an absolute treasure.

As long as they can develop, who can ignore them in the future.

But the question is... do fish count as livestock and poultry?

With a thought.

He attempted to also imprint the breath of the Dragon Blood Red Fish into the Horn of Fertility.

Moments later, the binding list of the Horn of Fertility quietly included the Dragon Blood Red Fish.

Lear rejoiced in his heart.

It's done again!

It truly is a treasure used by the Earth Mother Goddess, such a great treasure!!

Looking at the Dragon Blood Red Fish swimming in the water, he was full of joy.

Their food problem solved, the next step is to study how to breed the Dragon Blood Red Fish.

Fish reproduction is not like livestock such as Three-tailed Pigs, with thousands or even tens of thousands of eggs at a time.

In the wild, fish fry growth is threatened by various natural predators, so very few grow to maturity, requiring large numbers to increase survival rates.

But with home breeding, you can do your homework to ensure survival rates.

Once the Dragon Blood Red Fish can lay eggs and reproduce, their numbers will increase explosively.

And the trait of shortening the growth cycle by 50% will allow the Dragon Blood Red Fish to grow faster.

After calming down, Lear felt the sunshine bright and the world brighter.

Having bound two so far, he can still look for three more types of livestock to rear... hahaha.

Just the thought of it is delightful.

After this flurry of activity, the sky had moved into the afternoon, and Lear no longer went out hunting.

He stepped towards the Treants of the swamp.

At this moment, over two hundred corpses of foul giant demons were piled by the Bubble Beasts on the verdant grass.

They were stacked into a small hill.

Innards, bones, flesh, and the pungent stench formed a purgatorial scene.

Yet Lear's gaze remained calm and unruffled.

The high-intensity battles over this period had long since made him mature.

Bloodied corpses could no longer affect him in any way.

He had grown into a competent Pioneer Lord surviving and developing in the wilderness.

Steel saber and blood are the eternal main themes of this land.

Deeply inhaling, he turned to look at the Mosquito Queen tightly bound by tree roots.

"Feed them ten corpses."

The swamp Treants instantly complied.

The tree roots, like the tentacles of an octopus, slowly writhed, rolling up the corpses and then inserting the Mosquito Queen's proboscis into them.

Goo goo goo~

The Mosquito Queen instinctively began to suck, not caring at all whether there was blood.

The ravaged bodies, under the erosion of the digestive juices contained in the proboscis, gradually became a slurry of flesh and blood, devoured clean.

This time, not even the skin was left.

The ten bodies were quickly devoured... the Mosquito Queen's life aura recovered significantly.

But in the next instant, the tree roots of the swamp Treants, penetrating her entire body, absorbed that life force completely.

Firmly controlling her status.

With the corpses digested, the abdomen began to writhe... blocks of Blood Essence fell to the ground.

The ten ravaged bodies of foul giant demons produced 60 blocks of Blood Essence.

Evidently, the energy contained within 9-level foul giant demons was more considerable.

Lear didn't bother picking up the Blood Essence, instead, he looked skyward.

With a thought, dozens of Mire Wasps swooped down, their fuzzy feet grasping the Blood Essence, taking off steadily.

This 60 blocks of Blood Essence were enough to replenish all the Mire Wasps' Origin Energy, restoring their lifespan.

With this matter concluded, he looked towards the distant Flesh Butcher.

This divine lifeform, still in metamorphosis, was guarded day and night by the swamp Treants, yet showed no signs of awakening.

Divinity is energy birthed within a divine spirit, countless tiers above ordinary magic power.

Once awakened, it would possess immensely terrifying power.

Interestingly, the intelligence system indicated that the Dark Naga also possessed Divinity, which could enhance the Flesh Butcher's power when fused.

But the 4-Star intelligence value meant those Dark Naga were incredibly difficult to deal with. Initial exploration was possible, but the actual strategy could only transpire once the Flesh Butcher awakened.

He was unwilling to risk a large amount of living force, this world was not a game, and there was no chance to start over.

Amassing strength and waiting until having sufficient confidence to flatten powerful enemies was the right path of development.

While pondering, without hesitation, he instructed the swamp Treants to transport the remaining bodies to the Flesh Butcher's side.

No matter the situation, the divine lifeform was always the absolute priority.

In the next moment, the Flesh Butcher emitted a faint bloody glow, enveloping the corpses in the blink of an eye.

Crack~ The corpses rapidly weathered and shattered.

When the surrounding bodies turned to residue, all flesh energy was devoured clean, and the Flesh Butcher's body suddenly trembled slightly.

A vague misty sensation of emotion transmitted outward.

Hungry... starving...

Lear was initially stunned, then greatly delighted.

The frantic feeding of this period finally showed some movement!!

He immediately transmitted soothing emotions.

But the opponent's hazy thoughts continued to come through.

Hungry... food... starving...

Repeatedly transmitting simple thoughts.

A moment later, the thoughts broke off, and the Flesh Butcher returned to its previous state once more.

Lear's gaze slightly focused.

The previous feedings weren't in vain, but they were far from enough.

More flesh feeding is needed.

Once this divine lifeform awakens, he will have an absolute trump card in hand!

After waiting a moment to confirm no further movement from the Flesh Butcher, Lear regained his composure.

While pondering, his gaze shifted to the swamp Treants.

Raising the curved treasure in his hand.

"This is the Horn of Fertility, a great treasure bestowed to me by the Earth Mother Goddess."

"Bury it underground and protect it with roots."

"Without my permission, no one is to touch it."

The Horn of Fertility must be placed within the territory to take effect.

The future would certainly demand venturing to various parts of the swamp, and even leaving the swamp to explore the wilderness.

This treasure couldn't be carried around at all times.

"Yes, Master..."

The swamp Treants solemnly answered.

Being immovable, they were the perfect choice to guard it.

After arranging this task, Lear recalled the mutated Venus Flytrap obtained yesterday.

Could the Horn of Fertility shorten the growth cycle of the mutated Venus Flytrap?

This thing could also count as a crop... right?

With great interest, he arrived south of Weilu City↓, where an open space had been cleared and the mutated Venus Flytraps planted.

Each plant spaced ten meters apart, occupying a considerable area with these 20 plants.

At this moment, the Venus Flytraps were still seedlings, palm-sized, with thin and tiny leaves, showing nothing special.

The roots were buried in the moist muddy ground, with water flowing past on either side.

The Venus Flytrap's roots extended beyond the dirt, swaying in the murky water, like straws gurgling as they drank, producing a small string of bubbles.

He could clearly sense that, with adequate water supply, the Venus Flytrap's roots were growing rapidly.

Although not at the growth speed of the Seven-Colored Moss, it was still several times faster than ordinary plants.

The trait of the Venus Flytrap is to grow rapidly with sufficient water, combined with the traits of the Horn of Fertility, it becomes quite remarkable.

At this rate, perhaps it wouldn't be long before he could see the mutated Venus Flytrap mature.

Thinking of the sweet nectar, Lear's mood improved slightly.

Collecting various plants and livestock to cultivate and breed, gradually developing the territory, this feeling had become somewhat addictive to him.
