Chapter 51: Luring monsters? _1

Because the people on the mainland did not pay much attention to agricultural production, there were places that went out of production every year due to insect disasters, and many places starved to death. All of these left a deep impression on Grimm.
However, Grimm had to admit that the natural conditions on the ark continent were too good. They had a very high yield of white rice trees. These trees were like bamboo and could grow to more than ten meters tall. They could also produce rice twice a year, so most people on the continent would not starve to death.
The rice produced by the rice-producing tree was the most common food for the slaves. The tree did not require a lot of land. There were many places on the continent where it could be planted, so it was not easy for there to be a shortage of food on the continent.
However, Grimm did not buy the seeds of this kind of rice tree because he was very clear that although the rice tree did not have high requirements for the soil quality, it was impossible to grow rice trees on Iron Mountain. This was because the most important weakness of rice trees was that they were very sensitive to metal.
Someone once did an experiment. They put a piece of iron that weighed about 100 Jin into a ten mu rice tree field. In the end, all the rice trees in the ten mu of land died in less than ten days.
It was because of this characteristic of this tree that Grimm did not buy its seeds. The place they were going to was once the dwarves ‘Iron Mountain. Although the iron ore in this mountain had been mined, the iron content in the soil on the mountain was still much higher than in other places. It would be a fool’s dream to grow rice trees in this place.
Hence, Gerlin chose the oil fruit trees as the main planting target. Oil fruit trees had very low requirements for soil quality, and they could benefit for many years. They were also suitable for planting in mountainous areas. These were the answers he obtained after asking some old farmers with many years of planting experience. Thus, he chose the oil fruit trees.
But like the rice trees, oil trees had a fatal weakness, they were susceptible to insects.
Compared to the rice trees, the oil trees were much more susceptible to insect plagues. On average, there would only be a large-scale insect plagues on the rice trees once every five years on the mainland, while the oil trees would be affected by the insect plagues almost every year. Fortunately, these things were easy to grow and could grow anywhere, so the output had always been able to keep up.
However, this weakness was fatal to the Buda family. They had to plant oil trees on a large scale so that these oil trees could become the main source of income for the Buda family. However, if the oil trees were constantly attacked by insects, they would be finished.
Previously, green had been having a headache over this matter. Now that he heard Zhao Hai say that there was a potion specifically used to kill insects, the huge stone in Green’s heart was finally lifted.
Zhao Hai looked at Green’s happy expression and laughed, &Quot; but I don’t agree with the use of these two things. Both of them are poisonous. If they are used on crops, they will also carry a trace amount of poison. Although the poison doesn’t have a great impact on the human body, eating it for a long time will accumulate a large amount of poison in the human body, which will affect the human health. &Quot;
Gerlyn was stunned for a moment, then he frowned and said, ” “That’s a problem. It seems that we can’t use this for our own food in the future.”
Hearing Grimm’s words, Zhao Hai’s face was filled with black lines. He had never thought that a serious person like Grimm would have such a Black-bellied side.
However, to Zhao Hai’s surprise, Merlin and the others nodded in agreement, as if they thought what green said made sense.
In fact, Zhao Hai did not know that ever since Merlin and the others had been driven here, she had harbored a little hatred for the world. In their opinion, everyone had betrayed them and were the murderers who had caused the Buda family to fall to this state. It was also because of this that Grimm had said those words and Merlin had agreed.
Zhao Hai shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He turned to green and said, ” &Quot; Grandpa Green, let’s go into the room and see how many undead creatures there are on the screen. Then, we’ll think of a way to capture them. &Quot;
Grimm nodded, and the few of them walked into the house. To be honest, Grimm also felt that it was very convenient to have this screen. They could sit in the space and know what was going on outside. The only drawback was that the range was too small.
After they entered the house, Zhao Hai took another look at the screen. The number of green dots on it did not seem to have increased. There were still more than ten of them. Zhao Hai looked at the living room and to his surprise, another Green Dot appeared in the living room.
Zhao Hai clicked on the living room in confusion. A skeleton rat appeared in the living room. Zhao Hai was stunned when he saw the skeleton rat. He couldn’t help but look at the miniature three-dimensional image. As expected, the green dot on the upper floor was gone. It seemed that the skeleton rat had gone to the living room.
Zhao Hai was puzzled. Was the living room that good and attractive? He remembered that the frequency of magical beasts and undead creatures appearing in the living room was the highest.
Grimm also looked at the skeleton mouse on the screen and said, ” &Quot; it seems that this thing has smelled human again. It’s strange that these undead creatures are so sensitive to fresh blood and flesh. &Quot;
Zhao Hai immediately understood what was going on. When they were capturing the alien, the human scent must have leaked out from the space crack. The skeleton rat must have sensed it, and that was why the thing had come to the living room.
Zhao Hai was overjoyed when he thought of this. He had thought of a way to catch the skeletons. In gaming terms on earth, it should be called luring monsters.
Zhao Hai didn’t like to play games on earth, but he still had some understanding of games, and this understanding came from online gaming novels.
He had to admit that on earth, those web novels were all-encompassing. Zhao Hai did not like football, but he knew nothing about those football stars. He knew a little about basketball, but he was just a fake fan. However, he knew nothing about basketball. All of this could be attributed to web novels.
“Grandpa Green, do you think we can use this method to capture the undead creatures?” Zhao Hai asked. The living room isn’t that big, so it’s impossible for too many undead creatures to come in at once. If we catch this one, we might be able to attract another one. If we can’t, we can send someone out to attract more undead creatures. This way, we won’t have to go too far and we can catch more undead creatures in the castle without worrying about attracting magical beasts.”
Zhao Hai knew that the undead creatures were very sensitive to living humans, but the demonic beasts weren’t. He didn’t want to attract too many demonic beasts. If those demonic beasts were lured into the castle and refused to leave, he wouldn’t be able to go out anymore.
&Quot; that’s a good idea, ” Grimm said after some thought. &Quot; we can sit here and slowly capture the undead creatures. By the way, young master, do you think the undead creatures sensed us when they attacked us? ”
Zhao Hai was taken aback and his expression changed. Of course, he couldn’t tell if it was because of this, but this was what he was most worried about. If the undead creatures had sensed their presence and ran out, the castle would be even more dangerous in the future.
However, Merlin shook his head. &Quot; I don’t think it’s because of this. Don’t forget, we’ve been here for a long time. The young master was unconscious for more than a month. Haven’t we been here all this time? ” If the undead creatures came out because of us, they should have come out long ago and not wait for so long. Moreover, the first ones to come out this time were the magic beasts, not the undead creatures.”
When Grimm and Zhao Hai heard Merlin’s words, they could not help but sigh in relief. However, Grimm frowned and said,”That’s strange. I heard that the demonic beasts in the blackdirt wastelands would only appear once every ten to twenty years. The last time they appeared was three to four years ago. If they break out at such a high frequency, we’ll be in trouble.”
However, Merlin smiled and said, ” forget it. Can the news you heard from the outside be accurate? ” Do you know how many years it’s been since anyone came to the Black Earth wilderness? How could they truly understand the situation here in the black soil wasteland?”
Grimm patted his head and nodded. &Quot; &Quot; yes, how could I have forgotten about this? there’s nothing in the black soil wilderness that can attract people, so naturally, no one would come here. It seems that I’m overthinking it. Forget it, I’ll take it slow. Anyway, I have the young master’s space. If it’s really impossible, I can just hide in the space. &Quot;
It had to be said that Grimm’s current state of mind was much better than before. In the past, Grimm had a kind of desperate mentality, the feeling of losing hope in life, but the feeling of making a final struggle made him very serious. He was determined not to do everything to the best of his ability, which put a lot of pressure on him.
However, after learning about Zhao Hai’s space, Green’s attitude changed completely. He relaxed because he believed that as long as Zhao Hai’s space existed, the Buda family would definitely be able to continue on. Even if they couldn’t restore their original glory, they would be able to ensure the continuation of the Buda family. It could be said that the heaviest stone in his heart had been lifted.
Hearing Green’s words, Zhao Hai could not help but smile,”That’s a good idea, but Grandpa Grimm, the space can still be upgraded. As long as we move some strange plants from the continent into the space and get the recognition of the space, the space can continue to grow and help us more.”
Clint was stunned for a moment before his eyes lit up.”Really? Young master, is this true? Space can really become bigger?”
Zhao Hai nodded. &Quot; of course it’s true. In fact, the space has been upgraded twice, and it has grown by four acres. Grandma Merlin knows this. When the space was upgraded for the second time, we were all in the space. &Quot;
