Chapter 54: Shallow Water
Lin Ye brought these egg stealing dragons to eat together, and this meal of ant eggs and delicious silver-scaled fish was Lin Ye's farewell gift to the red back.
He was going to move to the shallow water area that had been built, leaving it to Redback to guard the rear, and Lin Ye was very relieved.
In order to treat the red back, Lin Ye wrapped the boiled ant eggs in blue-green square leaves, and put them in front of the red back like a rice dumpling. Redback opened his mouth impatiently, flicked his long tongue, and swept the ant eggs into his stomach with the leaves.
Smash it, smash it, smash it, the red back showed a very intoxicated look, and then ate a small fish, it is now very satisfied. Spread on the ground, it was already a waste lizard.
Lin Ye immediately slapped it fiercely with his wings, although the red back was twice as big as Lin Ye's, but it was still slapped on the head by Lin Ye.
If it hadn't worked hard, Lin Ye wouldn't have given it food! The inspired redback immediately raised its head, and after it had eaten its fill, it jumped on the hollow log and began to patrol the dense forest area.
This dense forest, blocked by layers of trees, stretches as far as the eye can see, and there are many places where Lin Ye has not been to a second time since opening the map. It's more than enough for a giant lizard and a few oviraptorops.
Seeing that Lin Ye was leaving, the red back looked at him with teary eyes, and seemed to be a little reluctant to Lin Ye.
Lin Ye couldn't help but glance at him, it wasn't that he wouldn't come back. At his speed, the shallow water and the dense forest area were only half an hour apart, and it used to be the territory of the Redbacks, not so much a separation, but a territory exchange.
Of course, now that it has become the red back of the little brother, its territory is naturally also Lin Ye's territory.
"Haw~chirp!" Lin Ye comforted Redback and told Redback that if he came to the shallow water, he would also cook a good meal for him.
Redback suddenly stopped crying, his eyes lit up, and then, after rubbing the forest night, he began to raise his head proudly, and happily inspected his new territory. Leaving Lin Ye speechless, it turns out that this guy is greedy......
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and now that Lin Ye has handed over the control of the dense forest area to it, it will naturally have to fulfill its responsibilities.
Of course, there are still two adult oviraptors in the dense forest area, and they don't mind who the lord is, and they are very satisfied with the current environment, and they will wholeheartedly help Redback maintain the stability of the dense forest.
Seeing the red back walking away, Lin Ye was a little relieved to think that this sturdy lizard was not only much larger than before, had gained special explosive power, but also had a much higher IQ.
This will definitely not be an isolated case, in order not to be eliminated by such a harsh environment, Lin Ye has to establish a solid defense line, and the dense forest area guarded by the red back has naturally become a defense area.
This guy may become a jungle monitor lizard in the future...... Lin Ye thought in his heart.
The dense forest area is directly east of the shallow waters, giving the latter a sufficient strategic buffer. If there were another terrifying creature swarm like marching ants rushing over, Lin Ye would also have plenty of time to react.
At this moment, Lin Ye has moved to the shallow water area, that is, the former swampy area, and the former hollow logs have been strengthened and left for the redback to live.
Back in the shallow water, the breeze blows, and from time to time silver scale fish jump out of the water on the small sparkling pond, they wag their tails, and splash small splashes on the water. Clusters of larvae are clustered around these silver-scaled fish, and they gather around their parents like smoke bombs in water, wrapping around their parents, and only when they grow up, they will forage for food alone.
Some of the silver-scaled fish were brought by Lin Ye from the pool, and the other part was brought from Qinggu. They live well in this shallow pond, where the abundance of algae and humus at the bottom of the pond provide abundant food.
The rock in the middle of the shallow water is also smoothed little by little by Lin Ye, turning it into a natural floor.
Lin Ye laid a pontoon bridge made of wooden planks along the rocks from the water's edge to the center of the pond, winding and composed of multiple fragments, with small railings like chopsticks on both sides. Prevent accidental stumbling and falling.
The pond that encloses the rock platform is like a moat, and the pontoon bridge leading to the rock platform is connected by a straw rope, and a section of the pontoon bridge can be lifted by Lin Ye's pull.
The stench in the pond was so faint that it could not be smelled, and with the warm sunlight shining down, Lin Ye shook his feathers lazily, and at this moment he was lying on the rock in the middle of the pond, leaning against the stalactites.
"Wow~"
A simple pergola was erected above Lin Ye's head, and he spread his feet, so comfortable.
On his right wing is a wooden round tray on which some small young silver-scaled fish are placed, and they can be eaten as a snack by turning their heads and stretching their necks a little.
A dragonfly flew from the cordyceps field to the west, its four pairs of wings buzzing and vibrating, flying high above Lin Ye's head.
These giant dragonflies now and so on also come to the shallow waters, where they occasionally dip into the water on the surface of the lake, causing faint ripples on the surface of the water, as if to lay eggs.
Lin Ye leisurely watched them lay eggs in the pond, and the dragonfly larvae after these eggs hatched are called water flies, and some of them will become food for the silver-scaled fish in the pond, and some will thrive and destroy the water in the water, which is a beneficial insect.
At this moment, even if these dragonflies see Lin Ye, they will avoid it from a distance, and the number of them coming to the Cordyceps Land has increased from one before to three or two now, becoming a beautiful scenery in the air. More dragonflies means more food here, which is a good thing.
In the center of the platform, the environmental transformation totem that Lin Ye obtained from the system is still in effect, and Lin Ye has already gained thirty growth points from it. The fluctuations emitted by the totem not only accelerated the transformation and evolution of the shallow waters, improved the geology, but also attracted many creatures to join the otherwise renovated area.
The fern bushes at the water's edge are still flourishing, and now there are more clean insects, beetles, jumping insects, buried insects, and flying insects, which are delighted to come to this almost completely changed fern leaf bush, and happily burrow in and out.
A praying mantis disguised as a leaf stands still, waiting for a grasshopper in front of it to take the bait.
A cockroach ran with the tender red berries from the fern bushes, chasing a large eight-legged white-headed spider behind it.
A fat green worm crawls up the leaf and eats the leaf with a clatter.
They effectively curb the growth and development of fern bushes, while contributing to ecological harmony.
Of course—they all became Lin Ye's alternative ingredients.
I think that a month ago, this was still a swampy area, and the swamp was full of mosquito larvae, which were so dense and terrifying that even dragonflies did not dare to lay eggs here, for fear that they would be destroyed by mosquito larvae before they hatched. And now there has been a very conspicuous transformation, the species are harmonious, the water surface is sparkling, safe and warm.
