Chapter 22 Raising Pigs and Planting Trees

After the skeleton drake and lightning zombie were transformed by Rooney,

I can already communicate with plant-type monsters with ease. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The skeletal dragon has no name, so Rooney named him Cheap Bone.

The name of the lightning zombie is Shaker, and Rooney finds it unpleasant to change it to Shaker.

Cheap Bones was temporarily arranged to help the laborers dig the dungeon, while Xiao Shake took all the ordinary zombies and a carriage out to hunt other monsters with meat. The excavation of the underground palace is progressing very quickly, and the maze has been excavated half according to the requirements, and it is estimated that the entire maze will be excavated in two or three days.

With three small attacking beasts supervising the progress of the excavation, Rooney can rest assured that he will do other things.

With the gradual development of the dungeon, Rooney needs more subordinates, most of whom will be used as consumables.

As a result, he won't implant them with organs that can communicate with plant-type monsters.

Without communication organs, it would be troublesome to enter and exit the forest outside the dungeon, as those plant-type monsters would attack them.

At this time, the transformation of plant-type monsters has become a top priority now.

The first is to research and do experiments.

See what kind of plant-type monsters are suitable for gatekeepers.

Rooney, a plant-type monster in the forest, has checked and sorted it.

There are four categories.

One is rattan, rattan monsters can be retracted, the main means of attack is to wrap and whip the enemy, and the attack range is medium and long.

The second is the sword class, and the sword monster's own branches can be used as swords to chop, and the attack range is very close.

The third is the spitting type, which will spit nails or venom to attack the enemy, and the attack range is long.

The fourth is the trap class, which uses strange and novel things to attract enemies into the trap, and there are various traps, among which the explosive trap is the most powerful.

These four types of plant monsters are actually suitable for gatekeepers, but Rooney plans to transform the spit type first.

The Spitter can attack from a distance without engaging the enemy at close range, reducing the possibility of being destroyed by the enemy.

Among the spike plants, the attack power of the spike is very good, but the process of regrowing the spike is slow.

It's still a single-point attack, and it's easy to dodge by enemies.

The attack power of the use of venom-type spit is weaker, but the focus is on the recovery process is relatively fast, and it can also attack continuously.

It is also a face damage, and the attack of a large number of venom-spitting plants will make it difficult for the enemy to parry.

The monsters in the Demon Realm usually have Kang to read and write, and the venom usually only causes a paralyzing effect on the monsters.

However, the paralyzing effect is enough, as long as the enemy's movement is slowed down, then there are ways to kill him.

It's a great idea to mix spike and venom spit.

Thinking of Rooney, he began to experiment.

He crossed two types of spitting limbs to give them the ability to spit spikes and venom at the same time.

The initial experiment was not successful, and the new monsters with two spitting abilities either only sprayed poison or only spikes, which were not coordinated at all.

Since the plant-type monsters don't have any brains, Rooney wants to transplant the brains of the animal-type monsters to them.

With animal-type monster thinking organs, plus animal-type communication organs, these new plant-type monsters can not only attack intelligently,

You can also communicate with other animal-type monsters.

However, this kind of hybridization of thinking organs requires very advanced equipment and technology to implement.

Rooney doesn't have any equipment at hand at all, let alone enough technical accumulation, so this kind of plan can only stay in the thinking stage.

For the time being, it is impossible to transform a plant that can spew venom and spikes, so I have to solve the problem of the safe passage of monsters through these aggressive plants.

Rooney already had a plan for this problem.

Homologous pheromone modification of plants is a good option.

By allowing both the plant and its subordinates to carry this homologous pheromone, the plants can distinguish between friend and foe.

Plant-type monsters originally had pheromone organs, so there was no need to transplant organs for modification.

It's also easy to get other subordinates to carry homologous pheromones, let them swallow or dye homologous pheromones, so that they can move through the transformed plant forest unhindered for a while.

The pheromone ratio formula Rooney can also be handed over to Xiao San in the future, so that he can send someone to produce pheromone pills for his subordinates to use.

The first batch of aggressive plants that can recognize the specified homologous pheromones have been successfully transformed, and the three small ones have become more active again.

They were instructed to direct the laborers to clean up the old plant-type monsters and replace them with modified aggressive plants.

After doing these things, a week has passed before I know it.

The labyrinth of the first half of the dungeon has been completed, and the basic living quarters of the second half have been basically completed.

This is all thanks to the powerful excavator of the cheap bone, he can top ten ordinary-level skeleton laborers alone,

Some hard-to-dig plots were also easily taken by him.

For example, they have now dug up gold, copper, iron, and even a small amount of the precious mine, Mithril.

These metal minerals came at a very timely time, because Rooney's laboratory equipment, training ground equipment, etc. needed metal to make them.

However, metal ore could not be used directly, and he needed some blacksmith subordinates to smelt the metal and forge the utensils he needed.

The blacksmith is not the most pressing issue at the moment, but the food problem.

Considering that the dungeon needs sufficient food to supply after the population is large, Rooney has added two large food feeding areas above and below ground.

Different monsters have different types of food, which gives Rooney a new problem.

He was going to find the right food for his men.

Of course, this job can be given to Xiao San and Xiao Shake, but now both of them have their own tasks.

Rooney doesn't have enough manpower right now, so he has to do these small things himself in a short period of time.

At present, there are only three types of monsters in Rooney's dungeon, the plant-type monsters outside the dungeon, the skeleton-type monsters, and the carrion-type monsters.

Plant-type monsters don't need to be fed, and anything can be thrown to them to eat, just to deal with the household garbage of other subordinates.

Skeleton monsters mainly like to eat meat, and strengthen their bones by absorbing the residual energy from the meat.

Rotten monsters mainly like to eat the blood of other monsters to warm their own rotten flesh.

All high-level monsters can replenish their energy by eating other energy-rich objects.

There are a lot of monsters with flesh and blood in the Demon Domain, but as food monsters raised in captivity in batches, you can't choose those high-level and aggressive.

Otherwise, it is inconvenient for them to be raised by low-level subordinates.

Non-aggressive monsters are not easy to choose, and those that can burrow and fly are not good for the time being, unless there is a metal shroud.

The only ones left to choose from are the clumsy monsters that eat ore or plants.

The growth of eating ore is relatively slow, and the feeding cycle is too long, and in the end, there is only one way to choose to eat low-level monsters that eat plants.

However, in order to find low-level monsters that eat plants, you must first find non-aggressive plant-type monsters, and there are usually many monsters that feed on them around such plant-type monsters.

There are no such plant-type monsters in Area A1, but Rooney remembers that there are such Yamabara in Area A2, where there are many non-aggressive plant-type monsters like hedgehogs.

So Rooney went to A2 and found the mountain.

Those hedgehog-like plant monsters are called thorn grass, and they eat minerals and various monster residues, and grass leaves grow on their backs.

Actually, they are all plants, except that the roots run around and look like animals.

Other monsters usually only eat the grass-like leaves on their backs, and their roots are highly poisonous, causing strong paralysis when eaten.

Although they are non-offensive monsters, their level is not low, at least ordinary level seven.

The monsters that ate the leaves on their backs were not of that high level, and most of them were just ordinary first and second grades.

Of these monsters that eat thorn grass, there are only two that are not aggressive and are larger.

A soft-bodied monster like a slug, and a carrion-type monster like a pig.

Rooney can only choose which carrion-type monster is like a pig.

This kind of monster is called sarcoma beast, an ordinary second-level monster, covered in carrion sarcoma, without any aggression.

In a critical moment, you can shake off the sarcoma growing on your body, attract the attention of the enemy, and take the opportunity to escape.

And the sarcoma they shake off can grow back, as long as there is enough spiny grass or other plant food,

The growth rate of sarcomas is very ideal.

This is the most suitable food-type monster for Rooney's current use.

Rooney grabbed a dozen thorn grasses in one hand and returned with a pair of sarcoma beasts in the other.

For the time being, the thorn grass cannot be eaten by sarcoma beasts, and it must be done until there is enough spiny grass to reproduce.

Since Thornweed can survive underground, Rooney puts both Thornweed and Sarcoma in an underground farm.

Then he also asked Xiao Dou to send two ordinary zombies to guard over it to prevent those skeleton coolies from stealing sarcoma beasts.

When sarcomatum and spiny grass multiply to a certain number, they can maintain the daily diet of their carrion and skeletal subordinates.

However, before that, the food supply had to be obtained by Xiao Shake and taking people out hunting.

Now the excavation of the dungeon is almost over, and the cheap bones have also been assigned to Xiao Shake's command.

The food problem is settled, and there are three things to choose in front of Rooney.

The first is to increase their own labor subordinates, so that more trivial things can be entrusted to them, and at the same time, it will also increase the efficiency of resource collection and the speed of underground palace construction.

The second is to increase his own combat subordinates, which can increase the security of the people who go out and the inside of the dungeon, and can also let Xiao Shao or Cheap Bone take people out to catch some high-level monsters for themselves.

The third is to find blacksmith-type subordinates, so that laboratories and research rooms can be built as soon as possible, so that more advanced transformations can be carried out and traps to defend the dungeon.

Rooney lacks skills, so he can only choose one of them to concentrate on dealing with it.

All three of these things are to increase the number of subordinates, which means a greater food expense, so his dungeon will have to produce more food to replenish it.

Seeing that it was getting late, I couldn't make a decision on these three things for a while.

Rooney decided to go get some sleep and wait until the next day to think about it.
