Chapter 407: The Bat Cave
The original fields of the Ape God Tribe were only more than 1,200 acres, although there were some other flat lands, but those places were basically used up by them.
In short, they don't know how to maintain the fertility of the land, so much of the relatively flat land becomes barren and can no longer grow crops, so they abandon it in the hope that nature will restore it in a few years.
Of course, Luo Ming has a way to restore the fertility of these lands, whether it is farm manure technology or some of the agricultural techniques of this world that Aya remembers, but it is not an overnight task that can be done immediately.
Luo Ming counted the land, which added up to about five or six thousand acres, and arranged for some people to deal with the land in advance to prepare for future restoration work, rather than planning to do it now.
In addition, he had previously arranged for 200 men to build fortifications and lookouts nearby.
In addition to this, he also sent some people to carry out patriotic and patriotic health campaigns, of course, there was no need for young men, children and women could also do these jobs.
In short, the number of people left in his hands is only more than fifty.
With these men with him, he came to a cave.
"Your Majesty, please be careful. ”
The old man who led the way for him said in a trembling tone: "In the past, the ape god ...... No, the Ape King hunted a bison and spent the night here, but in the end he was annoyed by those filthy little monsters, and he couldn't bear it, and finally even dropped his prey and ran out, and it was black and red at that time, and it frightened us all!
A strong young man had the audacity to come and see it, but he only shouted a few times and then lost his voice!"
"I know, you've already said it before. I'll be careful, the little ones won't hurt me. ”
Luo Ming didn't show his impatience, after all, the other party was also worried about himself.
Although it is not clear whether the old man was afraid of what would happen to Luo Ming, or if he really had faith and respect for him...... In short, since he showed his concern for himself, then Luo Ming must be appeased, making this gesture is a very important thing in itself, not only for the old man to see, but also for all the people who witnessed this scene next to him.
Then, he turned his attention back to the cave in front of him.
The cave was dark and deep, cold and damp, and there were occasional strange noises coming from it, and every night, there were little black monsters flying in and out, and few people who entered the cave could come back alive.
It sounds really scary, and it's enough to be a weird talk and a terrifying theme, but because he came to this world where magic manifests and ghosts and monsters really exist, Luo Ming will not have the slightest fear.
The so-called fear only exists in two situations - there will be an outcome that you cannot bear, or you are not sure whether there will be an outcome that you cannot bear.
But in this world, spirit creatures or other demons and monsters have long been studied by gods, mages, and scholars, and it may have been tens of thousands of years now, at least according to Aya's intelligence, it can be concluded that even the most unreasonable spirit creatures also abide by some basic laws.
Basic Laws – such as conservation of energy and outward dissipation.
Conservation of energy - no energy can be generated out of thin air, even if some phenomena seem to produce energy out of thin air, in fact, it is just a stream of energy transmitted here through some hidden way.
Energy dissipation – there is no such thing as true leakage. Just like the best thermos on the planet, it is impossible to burn people after 100 days of boiling water. Any energy will be dissipated externally, but the amount of dissipation varies according to the level of the manipulator.
As long as Luo Ming opens his energy vision, ghosts or any demons and monsters have nothing to hide - of course, there are naturally strong people who are extremely well hidden and beyond the limits of his visual capture, but it is impossible for such a strong person to nest in such a dirty and cold cave.
It turned out that there was nothing in this cave that could be called a demon except for a swarm of vampire bats.
The only danger in the cave is the blood-sucking bats.
As for the strange noises coming out of the cave, it was probably the sound of the wind or the cries of bats.
The corners of Luo Ming's mouth curled up and a smile appeared.
Lead them to easily break through superstitions, and you can put some more halo on your body.
Zhang Tianshi cut down the mountain and destroyed the temple, a certain saint son smashed the shop in front of the temple, and the Tianjin god who descended from the high heaven forced the god of Guojin on the earth to give up the country, and even the ancient Celestial Empire led by the official "prohibition of obscenity" and "burning of miscellaneous gods...... The victor will inevitably gain more prestige and faith than the previous ghosts.
Thinking so, Luo Ming raised the torch and let Cang Yan burn on the torch - in this way, when something happens, there is no need to make Cang Yan temporarily, and you can use it if you have a ready-made one on hand. Anyway, it burns outside, and it consumes only the alcohol on the torch.
"You just spread your net with sticks right here, and wait here while I go and eradicate the monster. ”
With that, Luo Ming walked into the cave.
Outside, all they could hear was the screams of monsters and the howling wind, and they could faintly see white flames flickering.
Then many bats let out a miserable cry and flew outward, but Luo Ming had already prepared and ordered the people to open their nets, and almost swept them all.
The hideous-looking little monsters were trapped in the net, struggling in vain, but unable to escape the horror.
Then, with a fearless smile, "the horror" strode out of the cave.
"I've eradicated the bats, and even if there are one or two left, it's not a big problem. ”
Lockin laughed, and then asked them to clump the net full of bats and throw the last remaining flame from the torch.
"The filth has been completely purified. Next, I need you to gather something. ”
That's bat droppings, which contain a lot of stuff that can be used to make gunpowder or fertilizer. The reserves in this cave have accumulated over time, and if they are used as raw materials for gunpowder, they may be enough for Luo Ming to fire tens of thousands of more shells.
Even if you want to use it for fertilizer, it will be enough for at least three or five years.
This can further increase the yield of grain per acre, that is, Luo Ming will be able to requisition more people to do more things before these bat droppings run out - the small people of this era are simply too caring, as long as they are fed, they will actively participate in labor.
