"Are you alright?" After flying around Liang En and seeing all the gestures he made go well, the silver dragon turned into a ray of light and fell to Liang En's side, and his little face was full of worry.

"I just watched this giant earthworm take you underground and kept looking for you, but after the earthworm got underground, its breath became weaker and it was moving fast, so I searched for a long time and didn't find you."

"After all, it was my idea to travel here this time, and I really don't know what to do if you get hurt by my choice, but I'm glad you're okay now—"

"It's okay, I'm sure I'm prepared for this kind of thing if I dare to jump up, you don't need to be so nervous." Liang En smiled and comforted Ao Lei, who looked like she was about to cry, and then pointed to the giant earthworm at his feet.

"Besides, this guy is an opportunity for us, at least for now, it can be regarded as a solution to our current lack of all kinds of large livestock."

For Liang En, the biggest problem he faces now is the contradiction between the vast land and the few pioneers, after all, the Ishikari Plain is a vast and sparsely populated land even in the modern world, let alone this era.

This is the reason why he has a lot of resources in his hands and has not developed them, and he has not developed other industries, because in the absence of people, resources are just water, land, technology and various minerals, which are meaningless.

As a self-made man in the true sense of the word, Liang En has only one way to develop his own frontier, and that is to obtain food by farming, and then rely on food to attract people for further development.

Even though most of the immigrants were experienced farmers, Liang still spent a lot of time and energy teaching them how to farm the land, after all, this place is completely different from the hometown of the farmers.

On the fertile land on the shore of Taihu Lake, excellent water and heat conditions and land that has been cultivated for nearly 1,000 years have allowed a large number of people to gather in that place, and also developed a traditional agricultural method of intensive cultivation.

Through this high-input, high-output farming method, the land can feed a larger population, but in the new frontier, the traditional cultivation method they have mastered is obviously not suitable.

Because this island standing in the Northern Sea is not only barren land, but also has poor water and thermal conditions, if there is only one advantage, it is that the land area is large enough.

In this case, intensive cultivation is obviously not suitable, but extensive management is more suitable for this land. But the problem is that if you want to carry out extensive management, it is obviously not enough to rely on manual labor.

Liang tried to buy livestock, but due to various problems, he only had 7 horses, 19 cows and 2 mules in his possession.

The only thing that was big was not because he didn't have any money, but simply because all the animals needed to be brought in from other places, and it was good to be able to bring so much with the capacity he had.

Undoubtedly, the number of these large animals arriving on the island was so different from Liang's needs that Liang had to use the lamp god, the giant worm, and the steam engine to make up for the lack of power.

The problem was that there were only 20 giant worms, the cost of using the lamp god was extremely high, and it took a lot of time and effort to train a steam engine operator, so I had to find a way to find more power for my territory.

This giant earthworm is obviously an excellent source of motivation - although it is not very good at digging holes in hard rock, it can easily use its ability to loosen large amounts of soil and shake out hard stones or tree roots.

This is very useful for Liang En, who is exploring the wilderness, and according to his communication with the giant earthworm, this earthworm can carve out a complete 60 hectares of wasteland in a normal day, and can even reach 120 hectares in a surprise attack.

"If that's what you say, this big guy is really a baby." After listening to Liang En's introduction, Ao Lei's eyes also flashed, and she looked at this earthworm with a look at the baby.

After dealing with the chores for such a long time, she knows how difficult it is to clear the land, and naturally understands how precious it is to be able to clear 60 hectares of land every day.

Not to mention giant earthworms

It is also the earthworm, which also has the ability to fertilize the fields, which can make the newly opened up barren land fertile in a short time.

"But now there's a small problem, and that's how to get this guy back—" After a moment of excitement, Ao Lei suddenly noticed something that she hadn't noticed before.

After all, this earthworm looks about the size of a train, and there is no way for Liang En and them to carry such a large earthworm anywhere.

"An earthworm of this size should have no natural predators, and I saw it run quite fast. So we can consider letting this big guy go home on his own."

After speaking, Liang En closed his eyes and communicated with the earthworm through the soul connection, and soon the earthworm crawled towards the northwest, and the speed became faster and faster, and after a few minutes, it disappeared from the field of vision of the two people.

"How long will it take for this guy to get back?" Looking at the direction in which the earthworm disappeared, Ao Lei asked with some curiosity.

"It will only take three days." Liang En recalled the results of communicating with that stupid big guy just now and said, "Don't underestimate it, it can travel hundreds of miles a day."

"A hundred miles a day? That's right, this guy's volume is there, and he also knows some magical powers related to the earth, so if you think about it, the speed will definitely not be too slow." After thinking about the earthworm speed just now, Ao Lei nodded.

Feeling tired from the previous battle, and with little to spare, they went to the nearest creek and released their boats back to the settlement.

"Sorry, I messed up the trip." On the way, Ao Lei said with some embarrassment. "It was supposed to be a good spring outing, but who knows-"

"No, no, you don't have to apologize, it's actually a great opportunity for me." Liang En smiled and said, "If it weren't for this outing, I wouldn't have gained so much!"

"67 points of luck essence, it seems that this earthworm is still a small boss in size." While chatting with Ao Lei, Liang En was thinking about his gains this time, and unexpectedly found that he had obtained dozens of luck essences.

Obviously, this huge earthworm should be able to have a great impact on the local area, so when Liang En subdues the other party, he will only gain dozens of luck points.

In addition, he felt that he had taken a step closer to his cultivation, and although this feeling did not support him for the next round of reinforcement for the time being, it also greatly shortened the time between the next and the next enhancement.

The most important thing is that this giant earthworm was successfully subdued by Liang En, and it will soon be able to devote itself to the spring development of the territory, and if there is no accident, it can increase the development area by 1/5 and increase the harvest by 1/3.

"I didn't expect to get a lot of windfall from this trip."

After going through the harvest in his mind, Liang En smiled with satisfaction.

"It seems that there will be more movement in the future, and if you just stay in one place, you obviously won't encounter so many opportunities."
