I created a paradise in the folk world.

Chapter 114 A New Direction

The strength of a mid-level demon beast is equivalent to that of a martial artist in the mid-stage of the Qi and Blood Realm.

The newly formed exploration team is a four-person team led by Wang Shaohui, who is at the fifth level of the Qi and Blood Realm, and consisting of Huang Dahu, Liao Ning, and Wang Rui.

Wang Rui, the weakest among them, has already broken through to the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm.

With two Qi and Blood Realm Level 5 members and Huang Dahu, a Qi and Blood Realm Level 4 member with innate superhuman strength, the overall strength of this exploration team should not be underestimated.

Not to mention the weapons and equipment they were given, making it easy for them to deal with mid-level monsters.

However, there are two mid-level demonic beasts in that place, and we need to figure out a way to deal with them.

Overall, the exploration team was confident enough to enter the cave guarded by the two mid-level monsters.

But what good things could be inside a cave guarded by only two mid-level demonic beasts?

This is the significance of Shen Yi forming the exploration team.

Regardless of whether he gained anything or not, just get a clear picture of the surrounding area.

"Boss, I have a feeling there's definitely treasure inside! The monsters on that mountain aren't that powerful. There were just two mid-level monsters guarding the cave, and they suddenly attacked us as soon as we got close."

Huang Dahu chimed in, his face full of resentment.

He had intended to kill those two mid-level demonic beasts, but he didn't have enough time and could only return before dark.

If we go there this morning, we're sure we can successfully acquire them.

Liao Ning walked over and presented a map, saying, "This is the result of our exploration in the west over this period of time."

Shen Yi nodded and took it, then unrolled the animal skin scroll.

Their territory is on the far right of the map.

The area on the left is the area that Wang Shaohui and his team have been exploring to the west during this period.

The terrain is mostly flat, but after about ten miles, it gradually becomes rugged and some mountain peaks appear.

There wasn't much to discover.

This area is completely deserted.

"After we went twelve miles to the west and discovered the cave guarded by the monster, we heard the faint sound of water in the distance."

.

Wang Shaohui said at this moment.

"There should be a large river ahead. We plan to find its location today and then figure out how to deal with those two mid-level demonic beasts."

"Okay, be careful."

Shen Yi put the map away.

After having lunch, Wang Shaohui and his three companions immediately set off to begin their operation.

The hunting team has been expanded to include more than a dozen new members, and the task of hunting monsters now falls to Liu Feng.

Shen Yi instructed him to take four people into Black Mountain, while the others remained in the territory.

Mo Guanhai led his men to harvest the mutated gray rice from the six mu of vegetable fields.

After most of the day, the group harvested twenty or thirty bags of mutated gray rice from the vegetable garden.

Shen Yi received the report from Mo Guanhai.

"Ah Yi, the total yield of this mutated gray rice is quite good, almost two thousand catties!"

Mo Guanhai said with a face full of excitement.

"Two thousand catties—that's certainly not a small amount."

Shen Yi seemed to be deep in thought.

Mo Guanhai is an expert in growing gray rice.

The gray rice he had previously cultivated and selected only yielded about 300 jin per mu.

For a first-tier spiritual plant like mutated gray rice to achieve this yield, or even a little higher, is already quite impressive.

But Shen Yi's original goal was to achieve a yield of 500 jin per mu.

Due to a variety of factors, most gray rice plants can only produce about seven or eight hundred grains of gray rice.

With only two thousand catties of mutated gray rice, it is far from enough to supply the entire territory.

"It's time to start a new vegetable garden, at least to achieve self-sufficiency and ensure that everyone can eat mutated gray rice."

Moreover—

Mutant gray rice is a valuable commodity, and it can be traded with other villages and towns.

The more the merrier.

Then, as dusk approached, Shen Yi, along with Mo Guanhai and the others, acquired about eight acres of wasteland near their territory and cultivated six acres of vegetable gardens.

The total area of ​​the territory has now reached 28 mu.

This time, instead of having everyone help build the wall, he re-planned its location and built it directly.

Everyone stared in amazement, thinking that their village chief had mastered a new and powerful technique in the art of wooden puppetry, and they all cheered and applauded.

After all that work, Shen Yi considered his mission accomplished and looked at the newly cultivated six acres of vegetable garden with satisfaction.

"That's about right. The next harvest will be 4,000 catties. If we upgrade them to level 4, they will have the 'increased production' characteristic, which will greatly increase the yield."

However, we don't have enough Yin Soul Wood right now, so we'll have to leave it at that for the time being.

Once you have more Yin Soul Wood on hand, you only need to focus on quality, and you no longer need to win by quantity.

Shen Yi instructed them to dry the ash rice, take out some seeds to sow in the twelve-acre vegetable garden, and then got up to go back.

Suddenly, several people rushed into the territory.

The leader was Huang Dahu.

He happened to see Shen Yi and quickly called out, "Boss, Uncle Shaohui is injured!"

"What happened?"

Shen Yi's gaze shifted and he saw Wang Shaohui being carried by three people.

Wang Shaohui's face was deathly pale, his eyes were closed, he had fainted, and his breath was extremely weak.

Soon, he focused his attention on a wound on Wang Shaohui's abdomen.

"We had already dealt with those two mid-level demonic beasts today. When we entered the cave to explore, we found a pool deep inside with a lotus pod that was emitting a bright light. It must be a spiritual plant, so we thought we'd pick it."

"Unexpectedly, a high-level demonic beast with four limbs suddenly sprang out of the pool and launched a fierce attack on us right away."

"We finally managed to defeat it after exhausting all means, but—Uncle Shaohui was seriously injured in the battle, bitten by that monster."

Liao Ning said urgently.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi frowned as he looked at Wang Shaohui's wound.

Without saying a word, he had Huang Dahu and the others carry Wang Shaohui and follow him, quickly arriving at the medicine hut.

"Put it on the bed."

The medicine hut was furnished with a bed, which was used to treat the injured.

At the same time, Shen Yi also planned to conduct some live human research here.

Especially spirits and monsters!

"Uncle Shaohui, what is this—"

Guan Yue and the other two, who were practicing martial arts in the courtyard, heard the commotion and immediately rushed over.

Upon seeing the unconscious Wang Shaohui, their expressions turned grave.

This is the first time since the establishment of their territory that anyone has suffered such serious injuries.

"How are those field mice doing?"

"They're incredibly fierce. With the healing pills you fed them today, I feel like their injuries have completely healed. Now they're trying every possible way to escape their cage."

Shen Kun quickly replied.

They have been observing the field mice all day.

This was a task assigned to them by their elder brother: to verify the effectiveness of the healing pills on field mice.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi quickly nodded, took out the healing pills he had made himself, and dissolved one into the water.

Then he went to Wang Shaohui and asked Huang Dahu to help him channel his energy to feed him the healing medicine little by little.

Fortunately, Wang Shaohui regained some consciousness and drank the medicine on his own; otherwise, he felt he would have been shaken to the point of vomiting blood by Huang Dahu's powerful force.

After taking the medicine, Wang Shaohui slightly opened his eyes, panting as he looked at the people beside him. He wanted to speak, but he couldn't make a sound.

Shen Yi retrieved a needle, thread, and gauze, disinfected them, and began treating Wang Shaohui's wounds while observing his condition.

Now that things have come to this, he can no longer patiently observe the field mice.

Given Wang Shaohui's injuries, if he doesn't receive treatment soon, his life may be in danger.

A moment later, whether it was due to the healing potion or the "rejuvenating" properties of the herbal medicine, the bleeding from the wound on Wang Shaohui's abdomen had stopped, and Wang Shaohui's breathing gradually stabilized.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss, Uncle Shaohui should be alright, right?"

"We'll see. We're not doctors."

Shen Yi shook his head and said that the herbal medicine manual he obtained only contained knowledge about medicinal herbs.

When it comes to treating injuries, it still depends on individuals to continuously accumulate experience.

However, judging from Wang Shaohui's current condition, he should be mostly out of danger.

"Go and tell Cao Minghui and the others, so they won't worry," Shen Yi said.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Huang Dahu turned and ran away.

A short while later, Cao Minghui and her son Wang Shuo rushed over.

"Village Chief, is Minghui alright?" Shen Yi and the others asked anxiously.

"We've done everything we could. He's in stable condition now, so it's up to you two to keep an eye on him."

Shen Yi said.

"Thank you! Thank you, Village Chief!" Cao Minghui and Wang Shuo said gratefully, and then stayed by Wang Shaohui's bedside.

"Let's go eat."

Shen Yi led everyone away from the medicine hut, leaving Cao Minghui and the others some space.

The atmosphere was clearly somewhat heavy at this moment.

At the dinner table, Huang Dahu was not as lively as before.

He ate a few bites of meat, then finally couldn't help but speak up, blaming himself, "If I hadn't been in such a hurry to pick that spiritual plant, Uncle Shaohui wouldn't have gotten into this mess. It's all my fault—"

Shen Yi raised his eyes and calmly glanced at him.

Liao Ning explained, "After we dealt with the two mid-level demonic beasts outside the cave, we went inside and found that spiritual plant."

"Da Hu is impatient and was about to go up and pick it. Uncle Shao Hui saw that something was wrong and immediately rushed up to stop him. He was just knocked away by a high-level demon beast that suddenly attacked from the pool and suffered internal injuries."

"Later, while dealing with this high-level monster, Uncle Shaohui was injured and accidentally bitten by it."

""

The words fell.

Huang Dahu lowered his head heavily, tears streaming down his cheeks.

He was just a ten-year-old child, but his mind was far more mature than that of his peers. However, because of him, an elder was seriously injured and his life was in danger, which made Huang Dahu feel extremely guilty and distressed.

Shen Yi spoke calmly, "You must understand that you are an exploration team. You must remain vigilant about the outside world, rather than acting recklessly."

"It will not only harm yourself, but also put the entire team in danger."

Huang Dahu nodded silently.

"Let's leave it at that. Liao Ning will be in charge of the next exploration team. You and Wang Rui will take two more people with you from the hunting team. Huang Dahu will remain at the camp for now."

"This won't do."

Upon hearing this, Huang Dahu quickly looked up, wiped away his tears, and said, "Boss, without me, the exploration team won't have enough fighting power. What if they encounter some kind of accident? Wouldn't that be very dangerous?"

Shen Yi looked at him: "Right now, you are the most dangerous element in the team."

Faced with Shen Yi's sharp gaze, Huang Dahu was speechless for a long time before finally saying, "I will reflect on my actions."

"I'll give you some time to reflect before making a decision."

As Shen Yi finished speaking, Huang Dahu obediently accepted the punishment.

Wang Rui then walked over carrying their large basket and whispered, "Boss, these are the spiritual plants we harvested in the cave today."

"We didn't have time to bring those three demonic beasts back, so we had to leave them there."

Wang Shaohui was seriously injured, and they were in a hurry to send him back before dark.

Shen Yi opened the large basket and saw a lotus seedpod the size of a human head inside. Its appearance was quite peculiar, with a bright green glow throughout. The eight lotus seeds were plump and round, but they were still very green.

It looks like this thing isn't fully mature yet.

Shen Yi examined it closely.

There is no record of this spiritual plant in the herbal medicine manual, so it is normal that Huang Dahu and the others do not know whether it is mature or not.

"But where should we plant this? In a fishpond?"

Shen Yi pondered in his heart.

This lotus seedpod probably can't be planted in a vegetable garden.

I'll take it to the fishpond and try it out later.

Speaking of which, there are quite a few fish in the fishpond now, but none of them are particularly big.

"By the way, Yi, we went to a place about 25 miles to the west this time."

Liao Ning took out a copy of the map they had made. Shen Yi took it and heard her voice continue, "Twenty-five miles to the west, there is a cliff, below which stretches an endless expanse."

"Oe!"

"Oe?"

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment. The boundless expanse could probably be described as a "sea".

However, a look of joy quickly appeared in his eyes.

With the mighty river flowing through his pond, how could he possibly lack big fish?

We need to figure out a way to bring back some big fish!

Liao Ning continued, "There's a large river blocking our way; we can't cross it now. Should we try exploring in a different direction tomorrow?"

Shen Yi nodded.

"Go south."

South!

The location where the Southern Wilderness City once fell.

It is also an area where the Fog Shadow Monster often appears.

Shen Yi couldn't forget the ruins of that southern wilderness city.

After all, this is a super city with a population of one million!

He can upgrade and use any usable item he finds inside!

It's practically a treasure trove unguarded!

I originally planned that once I reached the Solid Origin Realm, I could take people to visit the ruins of the Southern Wilderness City.

However, Liao Ning and his group had already reached a point in the west where they could not proceed any further, so they were sent to explore the south first.

Once the ruins of Nanhuang City are actually discovered, we will lead the villagers there to empty the ruins of everything.
