Chapter 116: Thousand Island Township and Ghost Catfish
The river near the mouth of the valley is about five or six hundred meters wide, but the part near the shore is frozen, and the width of the water is only about three or four hundred meters.
Pan Xiaogu and his guards cautiously sailed towards the opposite shore in five small boats, all of them watching the water vigilantly, ready to deal with possible attacks.
I don't know if Pan Xiaogu was lucky, or if the fishman was already scared, until the boat arrived on the opposite shore, there was no attack.
The landing place was not far from the mouth of the valley, and Pan Xiaogu did not dare to risk letting the boat go upstream, so he chose the shortest route to cross the river. After landing, he asked the guards to help the boatman tow the boat ashore, leaving five guards with them to guard the boat, and he himself led the others to the node of the territory.
The south bank of the valley mouth is a large swamp, the node is not by the river, but more than ten miles upstream of the valley mouth, two or three miles from the depth of the swamp, Pan Xiaogu They did not take horses when they crossed the river, and they needed to walk after landing.
The snow was very thick along the way, and there were different layers of ice underneath, and Pan Xiaogu and the others were very careful all the way, and it took them more than half a day to complete this journey.
After confirming the location of the node, Pan Xiaogu immediately took out the territory voucher and began to establish the territory.
As usual, a white ball of light flashed, and then there was an extra piece of land of hundreds of square kilometers out of thin air in front of him, although it was not the first time he saw it, Pan Xiaogu couldn't help but be surprised by the magic of the system, but the guards beside him turned a blind eye to everything, as if this large area of land in front of him had existed here since ancient times, which made him feel a little awkward.
Qiandao Township, Wupin Territory, covers an area of 352 square kilometers (land) / 497 square kilometers (water).
The new territory was named the Thousand Islands because, unlike other territories, the territory was dotted with thousands of small lakes and deep marshes, connected by a dense network of rivers and waterways, which divided the land into thousands of isolated islands.
The five largest islands are the location of territorial settlements, and Pan Xiaogu chose the closest island to the river to establish a village, named Zhendemon Village, which is his hope for this village.
There is a special product in the town demon village, called the ghost head catfish, which seems to be a variant of the catfish, Pan Xiaogu specially checked it and was surprised to find that this thing is actually a demon beast!
There is a resource exchange function in the system, which can be exchanged for some breeding beasts with spirit beasts and demon beasts, or seeds of special crops, but because the exchange price is really touching, Pan Xiaogu has never checked it after reading it once.
Unexpectedly, this time to establish a new territory, he actually got a kind of demon beast resource for free, Pan Xiaogu guessed that this should be related to the increase in the concentration of aura.
The Devil's Head Catfish is a variant of the catfish, which is named because it is pitch black and has a white pattern on the head of the fish, which looks like a grimace.
The biggest difference between this kind of ghost catfish and ordinary catfish is that the mucus on the surface of the body contains a special substance, which assists the power of the demon pill and can make the ghost head catfish invisible, which is very magical. In addition, the meat of the catfish contains demon poison, and after animals and humans eat it, in addition to being poisoned, it will also cause a demon mutation - a special mutation that will completely lose their minds after the demon transformation and attack any creature that can be seen.
Pan Xiaogu thinks that whether it is the slime, demon pill or demon poison of the ghost head catfish, it is a rare and excellent material, which is worth developing, you think about it, the special slime on the ghost head catfish may be refined and made into equipment such as optical invisibility cloaks, so that Pan Xiaogu can establish an invisible army and sneak into the back of the enemy to launch a fatal blow. That kind of demon poison is not small, smearing the demon poison on the weapon, especially the arrow, a wave of arrow rain shoots out, even if it can't kill the enemy, it will make the enemy frantically attack the surrounding comrades, causing chaos among the enemy.
In addition, there may be other uses that Pan Xiaogu did not expect. Of course, how to realize these ideas requires advanced research and development, and it is not possible to achieve them in a short period of time. But this also shows that the value of the ghost catfish is very high, and it deserves the name of the monster.
However, the number of ghost catfish is not much, and it still needs to be carefully cultivated, and Pan Xiaogu regrets that the ghost head catfish belongs to fish, and the intelligence level is too low, although it is a demon beast, it cannot become the pet of the beast master, otherwise the invisible ghost head catfish will be the best underwater scout, and it is very suitable for dealing with fish people living in the water.
You can't be so dissatisfied, even if it's just as a special industrial raw material, the value of the ghost catfish is already very high, so Pan Xiaogu quickly packed up his mood and began to study how to breed a large number of ghost head catfish.
The ghost head catfish all live in a small lake near the town demon village, and a system building can be established here [feeding Jiao Pond], which is a building dedicated to raising aquatic demon beasts, which is maintained by the aura and is not affected by the environment, and the aquatic demon beasts raised in it can breed a generation every month, and the ghost head catfish can be raised in it, and its population will soon be able to increase. A large amount of fresh fish is consumed every month as food for the catfish.
Pan Xiaogu considered that it was winter and the fishermen might not be able to catch so many fresh fish, so he exchanged some immigrants, upgraded the town demon village to the village level, and used the reward building to build a [Spirit Fish Pond] to raise ordinary spirit fish as food for the ghost head catfish, but if you want to make the feeding pond reach the maximum efficiency, at least three or four [Spirit Fish Ponds] are needed, and only one [Spirit Fish Pond] provides food, and the monthly output of the ghost head catfish can barely reach ten per month.
Pan Xiaogu doesn't have that many development points to build new system buildings now, so he has to wait until he has more money in the future and starts to expand Qiandao Township.
Pan Xiaogu has invested so much money in the ghost catfish, and has not hesitated to build two system buildings for this purpose, of course, he hopes to receive the return as soon as possible, but although the ghost head catfish is good, the specific use method has to be developed by himself, Pan Xiaogu is ready to send some refiners and alchemists to the town demon village to specialize in the development of the ghost head catfish.
Pan Xiaogu rested in Zhenyou Village for one night, and the next morning he joined the fleet and set off to return to the camp on the north shore, and everyone was still worried about the return journey, but the fishmen still did not attack, and the boatmen who drove the boat were very happy, but Pan Xiaogu had a bad premonition.
After returning to the camp, Pan Xiaogu repeatedly instructed Zhao Dajiang to be vigilant and strengthen the defense of the camp, and then left with his personal guards without resting, he wanted to rush back to the Qianyue territory earlier, and then came to support the Gukou camp with reinforcements.
