When Yang Yi brought the fish-people of Ratchet Town to the Bay of Fear, he just wanted to try his luck and see if he could make more money from the blacktip fishmen.

Unexpectedly, a series of events completely changed the situation, and finally the leader of the Blacktip Clan, Thief Eye, was captured alive by Ratchet, and the wise man of the Blacktip Clan joined Ratchet and returned to the Blacktip Fishmen to become their leader.

"This result is much better than originally expected, the master is really awesome." Yang Yi was a little proud.

Yang Yi was proud for a moment, and immediately remembered that the primary goal of his trip had not been achieved.

What Ratchet is lacking right now is the population, especially the competent workforce. Yang Yi originally expected to be able to start with the Blacktip Fishmen and quickly increase the population of Ratchet Town.

Now that the wise man of the Blacktip Clan is the leader of the Blacktip Fishmen, and he is also the Fishman of Ratchet Town, this is easy to do.

"Now there is no need to use violence, you can directly let the wise man of the Blacktip Clan carry out propaganda among the Blacktip Fishmen, and let him send some Blacktip Fishmen to Ratchet Town."

The Blacktip Fishmen now have their homes destroyed, and if you promote the good life of the Ratchet Fishmen, tempt them with food, and then make good use of the sea monster Tesser, under the coercion and lure of such a carrot stick, it will definitely work well.

Yang Yi thought about it, the adult fishmen in Ratchet Town are currently more than three thousand, so he can't be too anxious, otherwise he can't control it. In the early stage, just collect hundreds of blacktip fish people in each batch, and slowly digest the blacktip fish people.

"One of the most important issues in how quickly Ratchet can digest the blacktip people is the question of eating. If the food supply can't keep up, Ratchet can't afford to raise more Fishmen, so it's useless for the Blacktip Fishmen to break their heads and want to join Ratchet Town. ”

Eating is the top priority of the Fish-People.

Thinking of the problem of eating, Yang Yi asked someone to find the wise man of the Blackfin Clan.

"Are there any fishmen among the blacktip fishmen who know more about sludge grass and bring them here?"

"Yes, Mayor Mare!"

The wise man of the Blackfin Clan quickly adapted to his new identity and shouted "Mayor Town" very fluently.

It didn't take long for the wise man of the Blacktip Clan to come to Yang Yi with more than a dozen Blacktip Fish People.

"There are many fishmen who are usually responsible for collecting sludge grass in the swamp, and these dozen fishmen are the most experienced, and they collect the most sludge grass every day." The wise man of the Blackfin Clan introduced.

Yang Yi looked over with the eyes of the lord and found that most of them were fishman hunters, and a few had the skill of collecting medicine.

"You are responsible for collecting sludge grass, you should know what kind of place where sludge grass grows more, right?" Yang Yi asked.

"On the mudflats."

"Where shallow water is."

"Cesspool."

The blacktip fish people have spoken, they are looking for sludge grass every day, and they already know where the sludge grass grows.

Yang Yi nodded, and he asked again, "Then which of you knows how to grow sludge grass?" ”

Harvesting wild sludge grass alone is too slow, and Yang Yi hopes to be able to grow this edible algae on a large scale.

The dozen or so fishmen shook their heads after hearing this, their fish-man heads only knew how to find and collect sludge grass day after day, and never thought about trying to plant sludge grass.

"Mayor Town, the former Patriarch - Thief's Eye has asked the fishmen of the clan to try to plant sludge grass in the pond, but they have not succeeded." The wise man of the Blackfin Clan stood up and said.

"What is the reason? How did you grow it before? ”

"We had planted it with sludge grass seeds before, but none of the seeds could germinate." The wise man of the Blackfin Clan replied.

After listening to this, Yang Yi thought for a while, thinking that it was probably because of environmental problems, such as air, water, temperature or soil, and he didn't know which aspect of the problem was.

"Let's go to the swamp and find a place with a lot of sludge and grass."

Yang Yi decided to take a look at the growth environment of the sludge grass with his own eyes.

Under the leadership of the blacktip fishman, Yang Yi once again entered the dust swamp.

Sludge grass not only grows everywhere in the entire dust swamp, but also grows very vigorously, which is the main reason why the Blacktip Clan is able to feed more than 30,000 fishmen.

With an experienced fishman hunter leading the way, Yang Yi soon saw a patch of sludge grass on the edge of a muddy puddle.

Sludge grass is a fibrous root system of small-leaved algae, the green leaves of this algae resemble the leaves of herbaceous plants, hence the name sludge grass.

Yang Yi observed the surrounding environment, but he was not a plant expert, and it seemed that there was nothing special to gain.

He walked over, grabbed a handful of sludge grass, and picked a few clean algae leaves and stuffed them into his mouth.

Let's chirp, chirp.

Yang Yi used the sharp teeth in the fishman's mouth to cut through the sludge grass, the juice of the sludge grass flowed, and the taste of algae permeated his mouth.

"The taste is okay, a little better than the purple ribbon algae grown in Ratchet Town, at least not as jerky."

After Yang Yi finished eating, he commented in his heart.

Next, Yang Yi followed the fishman hunters of the Blacktip Clan to find several places where sludge grass grew on the outskirts of the Dust Swamp.

According to these blacktip fish-man hunters, they don't actually dare to go too deep into the mud swamp to collect sludge grass, because the swamp is full of crocodiles. And according to the fishmen, there was a huge ancient crocodile that inhabited the depths of the swamp, and this crocodile once devoured several blacktip fishmen, so that the blacktip people almost changed their prayers to the crocodile.

Yang Yi didn't plan to go deep into the dust swamp for the time being, he summed it up with his limited knowledge, sludge grass generally grows in humid areas, and it is easy to find them in the soft soil near the water, and sometimes it will float in clumps in shallow sewage.

In addition to this, there is a little extra bonus, the sludge grass is occasionally accompanied by a level 3 herb called [Living Root Grass], and the fishman hunter with the skill of collecting herbs has collected several plants along the way.

"It's a pity that the wise man of the Blacktip Clan said that he couldn't collect the seeds of sludge grass to plant them artificially, so I have to ask Jagu, an expert farmer, to see if there is a way." Yang Yi thought.

In fact, sludge grass is nothing special in itself as an edible algae for fish people.

In particular, most of the areas that happen to have dust swamps are suitable for sludge grass to grow, and most of these areas are inaccessible. In addition, the swamp is a dangerous place that is difficult for most intelligent humanoids to traverse, while the fish-people can come and go freely in the swamp.

Therefore, Yang Yi attaches great importance to sludge grass, if it can be successfully planted on a large scale in the dust swamp, it can feed a large number of fish people.

Yang Yi asked the fish-man to collect the seeds of the sludge grass, and dug up a few whole sludge grasses, intending to wrap them up and bring them back to Ratchet Town.

After that, Yang Yi decided to go back to Ratchet Town.

Several of the large islands of the Blacktip Fishmen have now been conquered by the humans of Theramore, and the Fishmen have all fled. The Blacktip Men Wise Men gathered most of the Blacktip Fishmen and hid in the Dust Swamp.

Yang Yi didn't care much about when the Blacktip Fishmen would be able to bring the Blacktip Fishmen back to the island where they once lived, and the more difficult the life of these Blacktip Fishmen, the more attractive Ratchet Town would be to them.

That's not a bad thing for Ratchet Town.

Brac and the Fishmen of Ratchet have been promoting the Blacktip Fishmen all the time.

There is this kid Ben Boba, and slogans such as "follow Mayor Poseidon to eat fish", "Don't worry about eating and drinking in Wormtooth Town", "The fish people in Wormtooth Town eat and drink spicy food every day" and other slogans emerge in endlessly.

Anyway, all the slogans are related to eating, and they have been bombarding the blacktip fish people in turn.

No, when Yang Yi was about to return to Ratchet Town, the two-masted galleon Ratchet No. 2 was already overloaded.

There was no way, those fishmen who still wanted to go to Ratchet Town but couldn't board the boat had to swim over on their own.

Yang Yi originally planned to bring back only a few hundred blacktip fishmen in the first batch, but now he roughly calculated that there must be nearly two thousand fishmen.

This is still the result of Yang Yi's selection through the Lord's Eye, and more blacktip fish people were left behind.

Yang Yi didn't want the Blacktip Clan's strength to be weakened too much, whether it was to serve as a buffer against the Theramore humans in the future, or to help Ratchet Town take care of the big granary of the Dust Swamp, he needed the Blacktip Fish People to continue to live in the Bay of Fear.

In addition, the Blacktip Clan is good at training fish-man ambushers, and many of the Blacktip Fishmen also have the corresponding expertise to become fish-man ambushers, and Yang Yi asked the Blacktip Fishman Wise to continue to work hard in the future.

Ratchet No. 2 was full of fishmen and ready to sail back, and Yang Yi found a large sea turtle mount and prepared to follow the sailboat back to Ratchet Town.

At this time, there was a little accident, and the plesiosaur pet of Gollum and Gollum could not be found.

The Gollum Sisters had followed Yang Yi into the Dust Swamp before, so they left the two-headed plesiosaur in the Bay of Fear, but they didn't expect to find them after coming out of the swamp.

"Could it be a two-headed plesiosaur hunting in the sea, so it swam away." Yang Yi guessed.

The Gollum Sisters were a little panicked when they encountered this situation for the first time, they grew up with plesiosaurs since they were children, and they already had a lot of feelings for those two-headed plesiosaurs.

"Both plesiosaurs are very smart and won't get lost, let's go find them together."

Yang Yi comforted the two little fishmen, and then went to the waters near the Bay of Fear to find the plesiosaur.

Unfortunately, I came back in a big circle, but I didn't find the two-headed plesiosaur.

The two little fishmen cried anxiously.

After all, the two sisters are still children, and they cry in a ruckus, Yang Yi doesn't know how to coax children at all, and they can't do anything when they stand aside.

The cries of the two little fishmen attracted many fishmen.

A small fish-man with yellow scales jumped off the ratchet No. 2 ship, and the little fishman said to Yang Yi, "I may know where the plesiosaur has gone." ”

Yang Yi recognized this little fishman with yellow scales, who was the one she had volunteered to take Yang Yi to catch the traitor's eyes.

"How do you know where the plesiosaur has gone?" Yang Yi asked.

"Our village chief knows." The little fishman said and gestured to the boat.

A tall fish-man stands out from the crowd of fish, which is the spiny spine of the village chief of the small fish-man.

After Yang Yi caught the thief's eye, this thorny spine claimed to be grateful to Yang Yi for saving him from the thief's grasp, and decided to follow Yang Yi to Ratchet Town.

But Yang Yi's intuition told him that Thornridge had decided to leave the village and go to Ratchet because of the town's propaganda slogan about eating.

As soon as the village chief ran away, many fishmen in the village followed, and even the little fishman in front of him followed.
