Chapter 33: The Beast's Den and the Primeval Forest
Jack was surprised when he heard this:
"You two brothers are also notorious outside, who have you offended, and you have been persecuted to such an extent, could it be that you have offended those guys who can't be provoked?"
When Halib heard this, he immediately said:
"The Crocodiles, we offended the Crocodiles."
"The Crocodiles? The Gator Gang, one of the four major families? Jack's face changed when he heard this: "How did you mess with them?" ”
"This... I robbed a shipment of bison from their caravan. Hearing this, Hai Libu blushed and said, "I can't help it, our brothers have too much to eat, and we don't have enough to eat." ”
"Even the Crocodiles dare to rob it?" Jack gave a thumbs up when he heard the words and said, "You two brothers are really a seed, alas, you are not wronged when you die!" ”
"The Crocodiles? What's that, is it amazing? Do you want to kill people for a little beef? Loulan on the side suddenly asked.
"It's not just very powerful, it's just that I can't afford to provoke it." Jack said: "The Crocodile Gang is one of the four major families in the Exiled Lands, the members are mainly murderous crocodiles, about thirty or forty thousand people, the power is very large, usually the main thing is to rob and kill, they have never been the only ones who rob others, I have never heard of anyone daring to rob them, the Helib brothers do this, in fact, it is no different from looking for death." ”
"They're just trying to survive, so of course they'll have to find a way if they don't have anything to eat." Loulan said: "I think it's still understandable, by the way, Brother Jack, if I take them in, the crocodile gang won't kill me directly on the farm, right?" ”
"Not really, the Crocodiles are outlaws, they can't get into Dream Farm." Jack heard this and said: "Even if you come in, it is probably useless, I have been here in the dream farm for so long, and I have never seen anyone dare to make trouble here." ”
"That's going to be easy, Halib." When Loulan heard this, she immediately said: "The farmer has decided, I will hire you brothers now, eat and live for free, and the salary... Not for the time being, but when the dens are cleared, you two can go hunting in the primeval forest, and get a 10% commission on the prey. ”
"I'll go, you're too dark." Hearing this, Halib said in a lost voice: "Now that there are no beast dens on the farm, don't we have no wages?" ”
"Be content." Jack sighed when he heard this and said, "It's good that he didn't let you two try to work for three months." ”
"Trial work? What is that? Halib asked, puzzled.
"Trust me, you won't want to know." Jack said with a pained expression.
After getting two reserve manpower for free, Loulan's mood is still good, now the farm is developing so rapidly, the most lacking is manpower, now the beast den is about to open, he got two talents in advance, which means that once the beast den is reclaimed, he can make money immediately, which is currently extremely short of money for Loulan, but the good can not be better.
After sending the Halib brothers to the cafeteria to eat, Loulan immediately asked Jack what tools he had gotten back, and Jack did not disappoint him, not only successfully getting back a new pair of gloves with double strength, but also bringing Loulan a new gadget:
The Harvest Wild Hive, a production item, is placed on a tree branch and harvested every 24 hours, and depending on the environment, it is possible to harvest different flavors of honey, and the value cannot be determined.
"Honey, that's a good thing." When Loulan saw this, she immediately said happily: "There happens to be an orange tree on our farm, so let's just put it there." ”
"That's what I think, farmer." Jack smiled obscenely when he heard this, and said: "The ploughman who picks oranges has a really easy job, just enough to harvest honey by the way, hehe, and he doesn't have to pay extra for it." ”
"Oh? I don't have to pay for it, I like it! Loulan was overjoyed when she heard this: "It's a pity that this thing doesn't know its value, if only it could be sold for money." ”
"It's not easy." Jack smiled when he heard this: "Just call Britney over and ask if you can't do it." ”
"Makes sense." When Loulan heard this, she immediately called Xiao Tiantian over, and after asking, she learned that as long as the food is produced on the farm, it can theoretically be sold through the storage warehouse, but the value can not be estimated until the first sale.
So what are you waiting for, hurry up and get started.
Loulan hung the beehive of this harvest field on the orange tree, and told the little potato to arrange someone to take care of it, and sure enough, as Jack expected, the little potato did not add additional manpower, and directly asked the people who were responsible for picking oranges to cut honey at the same time, thus saving Loulan a labor.
Strange to say, the wild beehive was only the size of a fist at first, and it looked like a stone, gray and gray, but as soon as it hung on the branches, it immediately sorbed up tightly, and turned into the same turquoise as the branches, and it didn't take long for a few small bees to fly out of it, and at the same time, the hive was like a blown ball, quickly getting bigger, and after a while, it became the size of a basketball, and it looked like that, and it continued to grow.
As the hive grew larger, more and more bees flew out of the hive, except for some flying around the orange trees, and the rest of the bees flew into the barren grassland that Loulan had not had time to cultivate.
This large wasteland in Loulan has a lot of wild flowers and weeds growing in it, and in Loulan's opinion, it is completely enough for these bees to pick.
"Farmer, I brought back these two good things!" After Loulan finished arranging the affairs of the wild beehive, Jack suddenly said.
"Good stuff, what good stuff?" Loulan Daxi asked.
"That's it, look." After Jack finished speaking, he untied the pocket on his back, shook the mouth of the bag downward, and poured out two large stumps.
"Ah, that's a good thing!" When Loulan saw these two tree stumps, she immediately rejoiced and said, "This thing is a wasteland on the top, tell me, what kind of tree is it?" ”
"Hey, an apple, a grape." Jack smiled obscenely when he heard this, and said, "The guy who sold things is an alcoholic, and I exchanged half a barrel of bearded wine for these two good things, which is really a good deal." ”
"Well done, I knew you wouldn't be in a loss-making business." Loulan also laughed shamelessly when she heard this, and said, "Let's plant this tree now, what I lack most now is money." ”
After planting fruit trees by the river, it was almost midnight, and they both went back to rest and prepare for their new work tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Loulan started the crazy wasteland mode again, because he knew the existence of the beast's den, he reclaimed the wasteland at the foot of the mountain today.
With the help of the double glove, the work of clearing the wasteland was very smooth, and at ten o'clock at noon, Loulan completely cleared the wild grass on the ground, and the beast's den finally appeared.
This so-called beast cave actually looks more like a cave, about four meters high and five meters wide, and the cave is black and rumbling, except for a thick damp atmosphere, there is nothing to see.
As soon as the beast's den appeared, the Halib brothers, who had been waiting beside them, immediately lit up their eyes, these two guys, who had already changed into the clothes of Orion early today, not only wore tiger skin aprons and deerskin boots, but also brought hunting tools such as bows, arrows and spears, and were ready to start work at any time.
Lighting the torch that had been prepared a long time ago, Hai Li Demon, whose IQ was infinitely close to zero, bravely took on the task of exploring the way, Hai Libu followed closely with a big knife in his hand, Lou Lan also followed because of curiosity, but for the sake of insurance, he also brought Jack with him, thinking that this guy is well-informed, and in case of any danger, he can also be reminded in advance.
However, Loulan's worries are still a little redundant, the length of the beast's den is about one hundred meters, except for the bare rock wall, not even a gecko has been seen, but after passing through the beast's den, the eyes suddenly opened up, and a boundless primeval forest appeared in front of the eyes of the four people:
The tall and straight trees stood straight in the middle of the forest like soldiers, with no end in sight, the lush canopy and countless leaves almost completely blocked the sunlight, making the light in the forest extremely dim, and the birds and insects chirping one after another, and the low roar from time to time, showed that the interior of the forest was not as calm as it seemed.
After a brief inspection of the surrounding environment, the Halib brothers quickly disappeared into the depths of the forest, while Loulan and Jack looked at each other for a long time, and finally chose to wait in place, but fortunately, there were many wild berry trees at the entrance of the forest, and the two had nothing to do, so they ran to pick the berries, and ate the berries while picking.
"It's a nice place to live!" Loulan threw a berry into her mouth, and said as she splashed the juice from eating: "Next time, you can bring some food here for a picnic, or simply build a wooden house here or something, and come to play often." ”
"I said, boss, let's stay for a while and go back, I always feel that this place is not very safe." Jack said while eating the berries, although this guy said that he wanted to go back, but under his hand he kept stuffing berries into his pocket.
"What's there to be afraid of, we're so close to the exit, what's the danger... Run, Jack. Halfway through Loulan's words, she suddenly pulled her legs and ran, and Jack realized that when the two of them were concentrating on eating berries, more than a dozen monitor lizards had quietly touched them and surrounded them.
Fortunately, next to the two of them was the entrance of the beast's den, and without waiting for the monitor lizard to pounce, the two of them rushed into the cave in three steps and two steps, and it was strange to say that after the two entered the cave, the monitor lizards immediately gave up the pursuit, and walked back and forth at the entrance of the cave for a long time, but they did not enter the cave.
Loulan and the others had already run away, and when they saw this, they came back, and saw that the monitor lizards did not enter the cave, so they tried to go to the entrance of the cave, and soon found that these monitor lizards didn't seem to see the cave at all, Loulan almost walked in front of those monitor lizards, but they turned a blind eye, and what was even more exaggerated was that Loulan obviously saw a monitor lizard almost stepping into the cave with one foot, but the next second it seemed to hit the wall and was blocked back.
