Chapter 46 Wild Resources

  He went up to the second floor and Guagua's hands touched the crystal ball, immersing himself in the learning process. He wanted to explore how the original lord of Beidi survived.

  Self-sufficiency is the fundamental reason why a tribe can survive for a long time in this world with a relatively low degree of socialization, and when Xilang is not around, Gua is the master of this castle, suddenly having a sense of responsibility and belonging.

  Even if we take a step back, Guagua must do his best to increase his strength during this period of time, in order to prevent being caught off guard by Xilang at the critical moment and having no ability to resist.

  Just promoted to level 1, Gua deeply knew that the road to promotion was extremely difficult. Moreover, judging from Xilang's oppressive aura, his level was probably above 10! If there wasn't a huge opportunity, Gua thought it was absurd to catch up with Xilang in a short period of time.

  Even if Gua had the "Fish Dragon Change" heart method, it was still a victory in the long-standing orthodox classics. Wanting to come up with an evil door and wicked way, such as eating people to upgrade, manipulating high-level zombies, etc., Gua really hadn't learned about that.

  Thinking of this, Gua felt a little regretful. If the previous generation wasn't so stubborn and learned some ruthless moves, would it have come to this point where they're so passive?

  Apart from his own cultivation, the strength of his subordinates is also crucial. Xilang was busy with experiments and the construction of the mage tower, and the management of the dog-headed people below him was not in place. It has always been Gua who managed them. As long as he could control all the dog-headed people under his command, even if a few more dog-headed mages appeared, it wouldn't be impossible to overwhelm Xilang with sheer numbers. Even if they couldn't defeat him, with this strength, they could take the dog-headed people and flee into the forest, escaping far away. With Gua's knowledge reserve ability and mages, the inheritance of the dog-headed tribe would not be a problem at all. Even if they escaped from Pailos Castle, they wouldn't be left alone to be killed by any strong enemy.

  Besides, Guagua spent his whole life with Shifu, just the two of them living a cold and quiet life. Shifu was also someone who liked to be still and not move around much, often sitting for ten days or half a month at a time. In the entire Tongtian Sect, there was only Guagua, and that kind of loneliness felt unbearable.

  After coming to this world, he suddenly had so many brothers and sisters, and even three hundred dog-headed people were looking at him with eager eyes, hoping to get support from him. This feeling of being needed also made Gua feel very secure in his heart, and soon fell in love with this way of life.

  So Gua is still very concerned about the dog-headed people in the entire Pilesburg.

  Dogs usually make a living by looting and hunting, which is not in line with the habits of the valley. First, there are indeed no rich people to rob around here, and secondly, relying on hunting to make a living is too unstable.

  It is still farming and herding that can support a stable Dogon society. But the problem is, under the great ice sheet, all things are withered, ordinary crops cannot survive here, and ordinary livestock are difficult to breed and grow strong, only two kinds of livestock can be raised, one is cold-tailed sheep, and the other is glacier yak.

  From the crystal ball, Guagua rummaged through the economic composition of Beidi and found that apart from herding, the main source of income for the lords of Beidi was digging up underground mines.

  The greatest treasure of the Vasa continent is the various gems and minerals beneath its surface, especially the rich hematite deposits. Currently, it's almost the only place on the entire continent where hematite is produced.

  The price of Bloodstone is low due to the control of the Bloodstone Earl in the southern passage, and the small lords of the north are not enthusiastic about mining Bloodstone. However, the price of gems is relatively fair, which is also their main source of economy.

  No wonder those northern lords would use hematite and grain livestock to pay off debts. It turns out it's because these things are worthless.

  Kuagu returned his hand, and the food and livestock had all been eaten almost, basically there would be no more living livestock. It was also impossible to trade with human lords again, Xilang plunged into magical research, and he himself was not enough to show his face, going to negotiate with others was just a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

  At this moment, the crystal ball suddenly flickered and Guagua saw a small team confronting a giant with blue-purple skin. The giant was over 3 meters tall, looking like a small mountain, it was a frost giant unique to the North, swinging its stick to intimidate the dog-headed people in front of it.

  It was clear to Gua that these dog-headed men were no match for this frost giant, so he immediately gave the order and had the dog-headed men retreat from the front. The frost giant also seemed to have a sense of territory, and after the dog-headed men retreated, it did not pursue them again, but only made threatening gestures, as if shouting "You wait for me!" or something like that.

  He didn't take it to heart, thinking that was just a joke from his past life, so he went on to do the most important thing at hand. Little did he know, this frost giant wasn't just joking around. But that's a story for later.

  Gua Gu rubbed his beard and shifted his gaze to the hundreds of Ice Potatoes and Ice Apples that had been transplanted around Pailos City. Upon closer inspection, Gua Gu's eyebrows furrowed in concern - the situation was far from optimistic. More than half of the Ice Potatoes had withered away, while the Ice Apples were even more dire, with only a few dozen remaining out of the hundreds that had been transplanted.

  Looking at these withered plants, Gule felt a sense of anxiety in his heart. If they were to domesticate wild crops in such an inefficient way, the dog-headed people in Pailos would probably starve to death several times before waiting for the day when these crops are truly domesticated. Now that their relationship with humans is so bad, it's impossible to buy some supplies, and he can only seek a solution from the great wizard Xilang.

  Kuaguai opened the crystal ball and rummaged through the data in it, trying to find a way to tame these wild plants as soon as possible. After all, he didn't understand what magic could do, if it was just simple spells like ripening, there should be some, but he didn't know if he could master them in a short time.

  The information in the crystal ball is very comprehensive and I quickly found the relevant information.

  In the introduction of the Law Master's Tower, Guagua saw a description of the Arugula Garden. The Arugula Garden is an independent ecosystem built away from its original environment, in which it can even accelerate plant growth and increase the speed of plant growth in the Arugula Garden to several times the normal rate, making products that take a year to mature reach maturity in just a few weeks.
