117, barren mountain monsters
"It's all here, Master Cat, you don't want to talk about it in detail, do you plan to?"
"Well, what do you think of this place?"
"The environment here is actually quite good, but the soil quality is not very good, and the desertification is a bit serious, so it is difficult to grow food, let alone feed a group of berserkers.
In addition to the food problem, listening to Burton's story, there is also a barren mountain not far away, which seems to be a mineral vein, so there are a lot of metal monsters, and those monsters will come out every once in a while. ”
The reason why Chen Nai chose to come with Burton was because of Burton's face, but the most important reason was because of the monster.
The reason for the naturally formed monsters is very simple, that is, the concentration of magic elements is too high.
And the reason for the high concentration of magic elements, it has something to do with the stele, and recovering the stele is an important main task for Chen Nai, so he has to come and see, yes or no.
Listening to Burton's story, Chen Nai was almost certain that there should be a stone tablet in the barren mountain, because these metal monsters had expanded their range of activities since more than a hundred years ago.
Because of this, it has attracted the attention of many people, thinking that there is this iron ore in the barren mountain, and they have also moved the idea of mining and want to make a fortune.
It's a pity that this vein has not been found, and the people who entered the barren mountain have been killed and injured countless times, and most of them have died tragically on the monsters.
Several waves of people tried to no avail, and thousands of lives were lost in the barren mountains, and their minds faded, and this place gradually became a gray area.
Although the environment is not too bad, although it is still a bit beautiful, the soil is not suitable for growing food, and the ravages of monsters and monsters, that is, the berserker clan, can insist on living here.
But if food shortages continue, the berserkers can't hold on, so they want to migrate somewhere else.
"What you mean is, in a word, this place is not good except for the people."
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
"Say, there's nothing you can't say."
"To tell you the truth, the Berserkers have a very good character, they are loyal and honest, they basically have no scheming city, once they are loyal to you, they hardly need to worry about rebellion, but their madness is really a worrying thing."
If there is no berserker, or berserker's berserker, and they can control it completely, then the berserker is a warrior who is close to perfection.
Out of such concerns, Qin Haiyan also disagreed, and let them become their own warriors, but if Chen Nai asked them to become believers and contribute a little faith, then there would be no problem.
"Understood, this issue, we'll discuss it later, as for my plan, I'll observe it for two days before making a decision, and tomorrow we'll go to the barren mountain to see the situation and find out the details of those monsters."
"Good!"
Killing monsters, gaining experience points, and making herself quickly level up and become stronger, this is what Qin Haiyan wants to do most at the moment, so she will not refuse, and there is no reason to refuse.
The next day, Chen Nai got up early and first looked around the tribe.
Since you have an idea and want to turn this place into your own force, a base area, then you have to investigate it carefully.
As Qin Haiyan said, there is no doubt about the character of berserkers, but their madness is the source of people's fear and exclusion of them.
Their strengths and weaknesses are equally obvious, and without addressing this, the Berserker clan will be difficult to be accepted.
I didn't have time to take a good look yesterday, but early this morning, when the sun was rising, Chen Nai came out to take a look.
The environment here is indeed very good, there are mountains and rivers and a little green, it is definitely beautiful.
It's a pity that the soil is mainly sandy and gravel, and the fertility of the soil is not strong in the area that was enclosed by the berserkers as a planting site.
The soil is gray and feels a bit like sand, and it spreads out when you rub your fingers.
Although this kind of soil has not yet turned into sand, it is not far off, and it can be described as very barren.
In addition, the drought in the previous period has exacerbated this situation, so the grain in the entire planting area is withered and yellow, and even if it is ripe, the yield is not high.
"Haven't you ever fertilized?"
"Fertilization, what's that for?"
Burton asked innocently, which made Chen Nai a little helpless, I dare to love you for so long, and you don't even know the most important fertilization, improving soil fertility, no wonder you are starving to death.
"And how do you grow food?"
"It's just planting, then watering, weeding."
“…… You still know how to weed, and it's hard for you. ”
Removing weeds and not allowing excess weeds to absorb the fertility of the soil and rob them of nutrients is also an important part, but this is only a precaution.
In the current situation, it is a palliative rather than a cure.
"That cat master, what is fertilization."
"Hmm...... Do you have cattle around here? ”
Cow manure is a natural fertilizer, and it is better than human manure.
"Nope."
"No, forget it, go and collect some dead leaves and shrubs and weeds to burn into ashes, and then mix these grass ashes with the soil, which will also improve fertility. But let's wait for this batch to be harvested, and don't toss it now. ”
"I see!"
Burton silently remembered what Chen Nai said, and told Garcia when he returned.
"Brother Burton."
Approaching was a group of children about ten years old, the berserker clan matured relatively early, the male was fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was about the same size as an adult.
When they were about ten years old, they were not small, but at first glance they knew that they were still very immature.
For them, now is the critical period to lay a good foundation, and daily morning exercise is naturally essential.
Today is Garcia taking the children for morning exercise, because others have to take care of the injured, Garcia saw Burton, so he invited: "Are you interested, help take the children for morning exercise, they adore you." ”
Burton smiled innocently, scratched his head and said, "No, we will go to the barren mountain later, although I have already told you about the situation, but I still have to see those monsters with my own eyes." ”
"Those monsters are not easy to deal with, do you need to bring a little more manpower......
As he spoke, Garcia paused, he also knew his own situation, and in this case, it was not good to recommend the warriors of his tribe to go with Qin Haiyan.
After all, once a battle breaks out, the soldiers can't control their madness, and when the time comes, it will be really difficult to explain if they hurt Qin Haiyan or Emma and others, and it will be difficult for Burton to do.
"No, we're just going to go over and see what's going on."
"That's good, there shouldn't be any problems with you leading the way."
