Dragon Master: Starting from Obtaining the Dream Dragon
Chapter 90: Harvest failure, ecological imbalance
One month later.
Boom! Deep in the Yanhuang Tiankeng, Huang Ting transformed into the Red De Emperor, stretched out his hand, and a huge red cloud handprint fell down, and his five fingers closed together, holding a huge Molten Flame Scorpion tightly, and it rose from the ground.
No matter how the Scorpion struggled, it raised a huge red wave of molten magma, which shook the entire underground molten cave, but it could not escape and was taken into the Immortal Aperture Blessing.
He let out a long breath and looked at a bright rock as big as a millstone next to him. The whole body was crystal clear and had a jade-colored luster. It was the sixth-level immortal material [Crimson Fire Marrow], and he picked it up casually.
The Molten Flame Scorpion's shell was thick and heavy, and it was often polished hard by hitting the rock wall. Some rocks would gradually condense and mutate after thousands of hammers, so the place where the wild beasts lived was often accompanied by Crimson Fire Marrow.
This month, including this Molten Flame Scorpion, Huang Ting has found five wild beasts and plants in succession, and looted more than a dozen rank six flame immortal materials, making his foundation grow by leaps and bounds. These were all marked in the past when he was looking for wild beasts to refine immortal Gu.
According to the value of each living wild beast of about 100 immortal Yuan stones, five beasts are worth 500 immortal Yuan stones, and more than a dozen immortal materials are worth 300 immortal Yuan stones, totaling [900], which is no less than the money earned from business.
Sure enough, plunder is the best way to grow.
Huang Ting's rank seven combat power can also support this way of rapid growth by fighting to support fighting. Sometimes he improves the killing moves with multiple immortal Gu as the core, and sometimes he finds the marked wild beasts to hone, and he will recuperate for several days after fighting a battle, summarize the experience, and then go to fight again, and so on.
In terms of the final killing move, the Red De Emperor has further improved it, and the defects have been greatly reduced. The number of Gu insects used has been sharply reduced to hundreds, the activation time is normal, and the consumption has also been reduced from seven or eight Qingti immortal Yuan to three or four Qingti immortal Yuan.
Therefore, Huang Ting's cost of capturing wild beasts this month was very low. With the overwhelming combat power, he only spent a dozen or so fairy yuan. Compared with the growth of naturally condensed fairy yuan, it was a drop in the bucket, and the cost-effectiveness was extremely high.
Looking at the development of the blessed land, due to the three-phase development, the fairy yuan condensed in the blessed land has risen to 100 per year. In reality, in one month, the blessed land has accumulated 300 fairy yuan in three years. Adding the previous accumulation, the total reserve of [600] Qingti fairy yuan is quite ample.
In terms of economy, daily trade is 900 fairy yuan stones. If the battle harvest is added, the monthly income should be at least 1,800, or even 2,000 fairy yuan stones.
After all, three years have passed in the blessed land, and the third batch of species has developed normally, so the sales should only increase and not decrease.
However, this is not the case. Huang Ting's income this month is only 900 fairy yuan stones. With the original reserves, the total is [1,200] fairy yuan stones.
The total data is 600 Qingti fairy yuan and 1,200 fairy yuan stones.
Regarding the latter, on the one hand, he did not sell the wild beast fairy materials he plundered.
The flame immortal materials are rare and precious. What if they are needed to refine immortal Gu in the future? Just store them all.
As for the wild beasts, two of them are food for immortal Gu. One is called [Fire Magma Bird], which can meet the feeding needs of Fire Escape Immortal Gu, and the other is called [Dry Yang Fire Jujube Tree], which secretes fire gel to meet most of the needs of Fire Transformation Immortal Gu.
Although the [Melting Flame Scorpion] just captured does not correspond to any immortal Gu food, he still left it in the Flame Desert in the north of Yanhuang Fudi.
Under its influence, the fire scorpion species multiplied greatly, and the corpses were precipitated into a large amount of fire oil afterwards, which indirectly fed the fire-adding immortal Gu.
The remaining two wild beasts, one was used to put in Baohuangtian, and exchanged for the wild plant [Fire Inviting Immortal Bamboo], and the other was used to exchange for a complete fifth-turn inheritance of the wisdom path, finally getting what he wanted.
This part deducted the income of 900 immortal yuan stones.
In other words, now Huangting Yanhuang blessed land has four wild beasts, dozens of mortal species and Gu materials, as well as hundreds of Gu insects that depend on the environment, and has hoarded twenty kinds of immortal material resources, which is truly prosperous.
Comparable to the economic situation of the seventh-turn Gu fairy!
In terms of feeding food for immortal Gu, after the Samadhi True Fire Immortal Gu and the Fire Adding Immortal Gu, the Fire Escape Immortal Gu, the Fire Transformation Immortal Gu, and the Fire Control Immortal Gu all meet the feeding needs.
Most of the seven sixth-turn immortal Gu are self-sufficient. Wuyou starved to death. Only Guanhuo and Ruhuo are left, which is a bit tricky. We can only take it slowly.
Of course, the development of Huangting blessed land skipped the third step of building a complete ecological chain, and forcibly implemented the fourth step of raising aliens/humans and the fifth step of raising wild beasts. The burden brought about by the ecological imbalance is another reason why the income of immortal Yuanshi is less than expected.
Huangting cleaned up the battlefield and returned to the retreat cave in Yanhuang Tiankeng. He sat cross-legged and looked inward at the immortal acupoint blessed land, focusing on the Lihuo Plain in the south.
At the intersection of three wide charcoal lakes with virtual flames, a towering city stands, with solid walls, built by the Huang family Gu Master.
Now they are all huddled in the city, trembling as they look outside.
I saw three large groups of beasts confronting each other in the endless wilderness.
The largest number of flaming wolves, with bright red hair surging, like a sea of red flames, two to three million.
The second is the black and white fire bears, each of which is burly, crowded together like a sea of black and white fur balls, about 340,000.
Finally, there are the flaming lions, which are several feet long, majestic and handsome. Any one of them is comparable to a fourth-level beast. They should be solitary creatures, but now they have united, probably tens of thousands of them.
They are the three major carnivores at the top of the food chain in the Lihuo Plain.
Boom!
They bared their teeth and roared to the sky. Led by their respective kings, they charged forward in a mighty manner, causing the great plain to shake violently. The Huang family city was on the verge of collapse. The phantom fire dragons and pythons in the Huotan Lake were entrenched, spitting out their signals, watching this epic war vigilantly.
Three different colored oceans converged together, interlaced, spurting out a large amount of blood, with millions of corpses lying on the ground and blood flowing.
After an unknown period of time, the three groups of beasts gradually dispersed, and they scattered and gathered in groups of three or five, and they seemed to no longer hate each other, only remaining vigilant. Occasionally, they saw the Flame Wolf and the Fiery Sun Lion separated by more than ten meters and left side by side.
Hundreds of thousands of corpses were left on the spot, with heavy losses. The battlefield became a sea of blood, and the bloody smell was overwhelming. Even under the effect of the Flame Dao Mark, the fire poison and the blood flame poison were born.
Huang Ting looked down with a great will, and looked at this scene with great distress. This was the smallest one. Similar wars had been carried out three times in the past three years in the blessed land, and the scale was smaller each time, with a total loss of about three million beasts.
This was not over yet. In every corner of the blessed land, herbivorous beasts such as the red-horned antelope, the white sun elephant, and the red bull were also competing fiercely, launching dozens of wars of varying sizes.
In places that are invisible to the blessed land, plants such as fire grass, red clouds, and fire jujube trees are also secretly competing for resources, with their roots entangled and invading each other.
After he introduced the third batch of animal group vegetation, problems did occur, which was still unpredictable.
First of all, the three major carnivorous animal groups did not have the healthy competition that was imagined to be dispersed, but tacitly chose to kill the other two species and monopolize the rich resources of the Lihuo Plain.
Even if Huang Ting forcibly suppressed them, it was not the right choice. A slight negligence would lead to a bloody battle, which would involve too much energy.
So the solution is to let them fight bloody battles, but not let any species become extinct. When each group is on the verge of extinction, Huang Ting will secretly take action, and on the surface it seems that they have escaped a disaster because of luck.
In this way, after repeated bloody battles, they further reached a consensus, clarified each other's status, and coexisted.
Secondly, there is the problem of herbivorous animal groups, fiercely competing for grasslands, because of the two six-turn wild plants [Ganyang Fire Jujube Tree] and [Fire-Calling Fairy Bamboo] introduced to the Lihuo Plain.
The two were too powerful, protecting their direct lineage plants, the Fire Date Tree and the Fire Bamboo, and occupying the most earthly resources.
As a result, the herbivorous creatures such as the Black and White Fire Bear, the Red-horned Antelope, and the White Sun Elephant, which feed on the two, were forced to give up eating these two plants and switch to eating foods that occupy the least land resources, such as Fire Grass and Yanze Grass, because there was no Sixth-Turn Wild Beast Leader to check and balance them.
This further exacerbated the problem of grassland resource shortage.
Huang Ting's solution was also very simple, forcing the two wild plants to give up protecting their own populations.
Finally, there was the contradiction between plants and trees, which was mentioned above.
What surprised him even more was that he originally thought that Fire Grass and Yanze Grass had the same ecological niche and the most intense competition. Sooner or later, one would exterminate the other, and the probability of problems was the highest, so he specially introduced Chixia Flower to reconcile the two.
Who would have thought that Chixia Flower, the sixth, would take advantage of the competition between the two to quietly expand its territory, but almost forced Fire Grass and Yanze Grass to become extinct.
Just when Huang Ting was about to dig deep into the ground to destroy the red cloud flowers, something more unexpected happened. The herbivores such as the red-horned antelope changed their diet and tried to eat the red cloud flowers to inhibit their growth, so that the three maintained a relative balance.
Moreover, they gradually showed good mutations when eating red cloud flowers, and their offspring seemed to have inherited the genes of eating red cloud flowers, which were included in the tribe's diet and evolved.
Perhaps it won't be long before these herbivorous tribes will give birth to [wild beast level] leaders.
Huang Ting didn't even have to do anything, and the dispute between the plants and trees was naturally resolved. He realized a truth from it, that the fittest survive.
Life will always find its way out.
