Chapter 640: "Cultivating" The Benthic Demon Fish!

Lyon said this because the support that was about to arrive gave him enough confidence.

A group of druids wearing black and green robes quietly came to the underground fortress in the center of the lake.

Alona, ​​who led the team, completed the negotiation with Lyon at the fastest speed.

Lyon checked the items they transported, and there was a little bit of disbelief in his eyes.

He led the druids to the underground space of the fortress in the center of the lake.

The underground space was empty, with only an elemental energy pool, which was emitting surging magic fluctuations.

However, the surrounding energy absorption array concealed the magic fluctuations and transmitted them to other areas of the underground city at the fastest speed.

The facilities of the manufacturing factory transported from the Bay Territory were running on the energy transported.

The only thing that made people feel scared was the huge corpses piled up around the array.

A closer look showed that they were the huge skeletons left after the death of the bottom demon fish.

The flesh and blood on these bones had been completely stripped away, leaving only the empty and creepy horror skeletons.

Dozens of bottom-dwelling demon skeletons were piled up in all directions of the space.

After checking the surrounding conditions and confirming that they met the placement conditions, Alona asked the druids to put down the transported items.

The black wooden box slowly opened, and a yawning little elephant walked out of it.

He maintained a very cute little fat tree man form, and looked around curiously with big eyes.

Noticing the huge skeletons piled up on the side, the little elephant excitedly ran over, climbed up easily, knocked on the heavy bones with his hands, and shouted happily:

"Here it is, the little guys should like it very much."

As soon as the voice fell, several flexible little tree men came out of his clothes pocket.

They excitedly pounced on these huge skeletons, couldn't help but look at each other, bumped into each other without hesitation, and decisively gave each other a punch.

"Huh?"

The crisp questioning sound reached their ears, and the fist-waving action immediately stopped, and subconsciously looked at the little elephant.

"Do you still want to fight?"

Under the gaze of the little elephant, they obediently dispersed and each chose a huge corpse.

Lyon was a little confused at first, but soon saw a scene that shocked him.

A total of 6 small tree men sat down carelessly when they stood on the top of the corpse.

Dense and tiny roots spread from the bodies of these small tree men, wrapping the entire head of the skeleton.

Those seemingly weak roots easily drilled through the hard bones and drilled into the bones densely.

The expressions of these small tree men were very excited, as if they were tasting some delicious food.

The small body continued to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the spreading roots became thicker and denser.

It took only more than 10 minutes for the roots of these small tree men to surround the skeleton of the more than 10-meter-long bottom demon fish.

The whole scene was fast and silent, giving people an indescribable sense of horror.

Seeing that they had all taken root, the little elephant also walked into the elemental energy pool carelessly.

This was originally a nutrient pool prepared for him. He helped the Bay to get another 30 years of salary.

When the little elephant stepped into it, a huge oak tree, at a seemingly slow but actually fast speed, quickly expanded to 20 to 30 meters high, and the huge crown filled the top of the entire space.

If it weren't for the height controlled by the little elephant, Leon even suspected that he could grow directly out of the underground space.

The spreading roots completely surrounded the entire elemental energy pool, easily drilled into the solid underground, and began to grow in all directions.

After about half an hour, the little elephant, who had completed the move, opened his eyes again and said to Leon with a burning look:

"Put those collected bottom-dwelling devil fish eggs into the hatching area I arranged, and prepare some live large fish."

Leon, who received the order to cooperate, would naturally do it as ordered.

He followed Alona all the way to the edge of the island and immediately found the incubator mentioned by the little elephant.

It was a large area of ​​water surrounded by tree roots.

This area of ​​water was full of tree roots, and all kinds of fish swarmed in, as if this place had a fatal attraction for them.

What was even more interesting was that when Leon sent staff to put down the eggs of the bottom demon fish.

These eggs immediately caused a scramble among the fish, and before he could stop them, they were eaten up by the swarming fish.

Just at this time, the loose tree roots suddenly became dense, completely closing the space available for passage, trapping tens of thousands of fish here.

Blinking in confusion, Leon looked at the fish that escaped after eating all the eggs, and subconsciously looked at Alona beside him.

After confirming that the life breath of the fish eggs was stable and complete, Alona shook her head and said with emotion:

"This is a special way for the bottom-dwelling devil fish to hatch."

"The smell emitted by these fish eggs is very attractive to other small fish, attracting them to swallow themselves."

"When the fish eggs sense the breath emitted by the soft flesh around them, they will break out of the eggs..."

Before Alona finished speaking, the hatching area not far away, which had originally calmed down, became lively again.

Some of the fish were scurrying around, hitting tree roots crazily, and wandering around like they were crazy.

Leon, who was sweating a little on his forehead, couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable with the terrifying hatching method of the aboleth.

Noticing Alona's calm expression, she couldn't help but curiously asked:

"Then what's next? Just like cultivating other magical fish, just put food in regularly?"

Shaking her head, Alona took out a thick, brand-new "Aboleth Breeding Manual" and recorded the situation in the breeding area while saying skillfully:

"Aboleths are different from other magical creatures. Their blood and genes originally carry memories and thoughts."

"We are not planning to cultivate those aboleths who stick to the rules, but will only accept those individuals who have given birth to "wisdom"!"

Have memory and thinking?

Was “wisdom” born?

Leon, who was a little confused, didn't understand the relationship between the two, and opened his eyes wide, waiting for Alona to explain.

Poof!

A small ball of water bloomed from not far away, and a fish about half a meter in size floated to the surface.

Leon looked over immediately. The fish had lost its life, and blood kept flowing from its mouth.

Its abdomen was slightly bulging, and something seemed to be moving inside.

Then, a bloody mouth emerged. The mouth, which was filled with countless fangs and fine teeth, opened and closed, trying hard to chew the flesh.

Tentacles stained with blood protruded from the hole opened by the big mouth, and slowly wrapped around the surrounding tree roots, fixing themselves and the dead fish.

This strange scene made Leon take a breath, but Alona's calm voice rang in his ears:

"What we call wisdom is not their intelligence that can think, but their will and restraint that can restrain their desires and control their own behavior."

After hearing this, Leon felt that the rhetoric was somewhat familiar. He thought about it briefly and asked in a somewhat incredible tone:

"Are we preparing to tame the aboleth?"

"No, we usually use the word "acceptance" for truly intelligent creatures."

"If they are willing to integrate into the Gulf Territory, abide by our laws and rules, and are willing to learn and practice our ideas, we will bring 'em' with us."

When Alona said this, her eyes showed a little bit of anticipation and joy, and she was obviously very satisfied with the hatching effect of the aboleth.

Touching the tip of his nose, Leon thought about the terrifying appearance of those aboleths, and muttered in a somewhat unacceptable tone:

"What if they don't want to accept it? Or they pretend to accept it?"

From Leon's point of view, it is still acceptable to regard aboleth as a raised magical creature.

But if this kind of monster joins the ranks of the Gulf Territory, or even fights alongside him, he will still be quite worried.

After hearing this, Alona chuckled and replied in a calm and confident tone:

"This question is very simple. Just monitor whether they are lying! Isn't this your specialty?"

"Moreover, in the process of nurturing, we will try our best to let them awaken wisdom and at the same time let them recognize reality."

Hearing what Alona said, Leon, who relaxed a little, suddenly liked the testing procedure that he usually resisted very much, and asked curiously:

"Can they really change their nature? After all..."

"Drow elves are not inherently evil. There are also many bad guys among elves. The formation of the worldview is related to the living environment and education."

"If we provide a good growth and education environment for the aboleths from an early age, and they are still unwilling to awaken their "wisdom", it means they want to die."

"Do you still have estranged feelings towards ordinary magical creatures?"

Meeting Alona's clear eyes, Leon, who was still a little nervous, completely relaxed.

fine! fine!

Leon, whose head had already turned around, decisively brought the aboleths into those "murlocs" who received education and transformation, and he had a completely clear mind.

The relationship between ordinary fishmen and the Gulf Territory is more like "employment".

The bay collar keeps them safe and provides them with food.

They help the Gulf leaders work and participate in some battles within their capabilities.

In essence, they have not awakened to true wisdom, but only act in accordance with the inertia of life instincts and orders.

Only those murlocs who "think clearly", learn their own thinking and wisdom, and discover the Gulf Territory's cultivation hatchery will be truly recognized.

Although these fishmen are not "smart" and cannot even think about complicated things, the Gulf Territory still recognizes their existence.

When these murlocs make meritorious deeds, they will have the opportunity to undergo "transformation" to become stronger, and embark on the bright road of becoming dragon-blooded murlocs!

For fish people who join the Gulf Territory in this way, even some of the more extreme Gulf Territory people would not dare to say anything under the strict legal requirements.

Ensuring unity and cooperation among all ethnic groups is a prerequisite for the rapid development of the entire Gulf Territory.

Here, children of every race can receive the best education.

Even these aboleths now enjoy quite good care.

Just like the baby elephant is doing now.

After these little aboleths hatched, the baby elephant did not let them fall into the "natural selection, survival of the fittest" fight with each other.

Instead, they created small spaces one after another to protect these greedy little guys.

The little elephant, transformed into a child, kept shuttling around in the hatching area, checking the conditions of these newly born bottom demon fish.

"Next, we must correctly guide their thinking and memory, and establish good values ​​and worldviews for them."

Seeing the biggest druids quickly installing magic TVs, Leon's mouth twitched involuntarily.

In his opinion, everything in front of him seemed really too magical!

And these magical and unbelievable things were done well by the special breeding team led by Alona.

In addition to installing magic TVs in the hatching area, they played the "parenting courses" produced by the Bay Leader for these little bottom demon fish.

Worried that the little fish would not understand, they also placed "magic translators" enchanted with "knowing the language" in various places in the speaking area.

Such "caring" treatment gave Leon a special feeling.

"If I could have received such a good education before, would I have become stronger than I am now?"

He quickly shook his head and put aside this unrealistic fantasy for the time being.

He focused on training the new dragon warriors for combat and sent more dragon warriors to explore the surrounding underground space.

The lord attached great importance to this area. The information and intelligence collected showed that this place was located deep in the ruins group, and there were ruins to be excavated in all directions.

But before taking action, the production and development capabilities of this area must be arranged in place.

A week passed in this way.

Lyon led people to explore all the conditions in this area, established 12 outposts, and built 4 passes and fortresses.

This huge underground space of nearly 50,000 square kilometers was completely brought under the control of the Bay Territory.

When he returned to the underground city in the center of the lake and prepared to arrange the newly dispatched personnel and resources, he saw a more "magical" scene.

In the incubation area that had been expanded.

In front of 8 shining magic TVs.

Some of the aboleths that had grown to more than one meter long were very well-behaved and lined up in two rows, staring at the images on the magic TV with three big eyes.

What made Leon even more incredible was that several powerful staff members were teaching these little aboleths to pronounce in the common language.

Some of the particularly smart aboleths could already say one or two simple words.

"Study hard and make progress every day!"

The crisp and pleasant voice gave Leon a great shock.

His eyes swept over the side and saw that there were hundreds of aboleths feasting outside the separated hatching area.

They were not interested in the large magic TV above their heads, but were chasing prey and fish in the larger hatching pool.

Leon saw Alona humming a little song, walking on the slender tree roots above the hatching area, carefully observing the aboleths below.

Suddenly, Alona stopped, the smiler squatted down, and made a few deep and resentful strange cries.

Leon felt that the voice was very familiar, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head.

"Isn't this the language of the aboles?"

"Do you need to know this to teach them?"

"The teacher is really amazing..."

Alona stretched out her hand, waved to a small aboles that was staring at her motionlessly, and said:

"Hello, what do you want to eat next?"

Splash!

The aboles, which had grown to more than one meter long, suddenly jumped up from underwater, opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit down at Alona's slender palm!

Snap!

Alona skillfully slapped the belly of the aboles and knocked it down again.

Her attack was not light, and the aboles turned up its belly directly, and it fainted.

Alona shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly and said to the little Jixiang beside her:

"See? These little things are very cunning, don't be fooled by their pity."

"Don't hit their heads when you hit them, otherwise they will be beaten stupid..."

"You must be ruthless, otherwise they will not remember at all..."

"Mark them if they have done it more than three times. They are basically hopeless. They will be released after being selected..."

"..."

Lion watched Alona and Jixiang walk towards another little benthic fish, and a little cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Are all the teachers so powerful?"

"If the benthic fish are "cultivated" like this, they will indeed succeed..."

The alliance has been deleted.

I am writing with all my heart.

I will sort it out.

I will resume it tomorrow.
