Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

These potatoes lay quietly in the soil, and Linde felt a great sense of happiness. A problem that he thought would take a long time to solve was solved unexpectedly.

"Your Highness, Son of God, what are you doing?" Just then, the leader of the sheep new beastmen, Benio, came over and squatted down, like a teacher taking elementary school students on a spring outing.

That beautiful face with a hint of charm and maturity goes perfectly with the black stockings, but the problem is that her legs are sheep's hooves.

"I'm looking for potatoes." Linde said, unable to control his excitement.

"This." Benio came over to take a look. "This thing is not uncommon. There are quite a few in the forests around here. If you look for it patiently, you can find a lot of it."

"Also, you can't eat this stuff directly. If you eat it raw, you'll get a stomachache and diarrhea. If you eat too much, you'll get nausea and a headache, and it can even kill you."

"Also, if it sprouts, it can't be eaten. Also, once you dig it out, you have to eat it quickly. If you leave it out for a few days, it will sprout and then become inedible."

Benio, like a teacher on a spring outing, explained in detail to Linde, a primary school student, the precautions for this crop. The more Linde listened, the more excited he became. Isn't this the characteristic of potatoes! ?

It is poisonous when eaten raw, it is poisonous when sprouted, and even the symptoms of poisoning are exactly the same as potatoes, so isn’t it just potatoes! ?

Lind had never seen potatoes before, but he found them here. Could this be the America of this world?

Are the other three yellows here?

Excited, Lind immediately asked Benio about three other high-yield crops, whether she had ever seen anything similar. Potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins, these four high-yield crops can greatly increase the growth rate of the population.

After listening to Lind's description, Benio smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying that he had never seen these plants. Disappointed, Lind also asked Benio if he had ever grown potatoes, and the answer he got was what planting is.

The new beastmen are still in a tribal state, and the beast part makes the new beastmen have very low requirements for food. They can just eat grass and have not pointed out agricultural skills.

The development of technology needs to be driven by demand. If there is no demand, advanced things will be wasted after they are invented.

Linde wanted to dig some potatoes to take back. Eating them was secondary. The main purpose was to experiment with planting them. Moreover, Benio had also said that this thing was not uncommon in the nearby forests, and a lot of them could be found with a little searching. In that case, there was no need to rush and he could just take some back with him on the way back.

When he stood up, Lind saw a special plant not far away. Its unique dark purple round fruit pierced Lind's heart like a sharp sword.

"It's poisonous and can't be eaten." Noticing Lind's gaze, the spring outing teacher Benio continued to explain. "If you eat it, your mouth will be dry, your vision will be unclear, and you will have hallucinations. If you eat too much, you will die."

Of course Lind knew that the thing was not edible, because its value lay in other things. If Lind had not been mistaken, the thing was belladonna.

Belladonna is considered a poisonous plant by most people, but in Lind's eyes, it is a very important medicinal plant. Classic drugs such as atropine and scopolamine are extracted from it.

Most areas of Aiwozhen Island have not been developed. Lind suddenly realized that there may be many treasures on this island that have not been discovered, both natural and man-made.

Once everything settles down, take a good look around here, and you should be able to find more valuable things.

After the incident, Lind and the new beasts had breakfast together. While eating baked potatoes, Lind even shed tears of excitement.

After a total of five days of marching, Lind and his party arrived at the sphere of influence of the legendary Fire Pig Tribe.

Chapter 152 The Other Side of the Island

After five days of traveling, Lind's team arrived at the border of the Fire Pig Tribe's sphere of influence on the morning of that day.

During these five days, Linde drank milk twice more. From the second time on, Linde was able to keep a normal mind, and Kitama seemed to be more maternal.

It was already very maternal, but it felt even more loving after opening the lid and eating it.

Otherwise, just acknowledge Kitama as your mother. You already have two mothers, so one more won’t make any difference.

The New Beastmen and Chaos Beastmen on the island of Ivozhen are roughly distributed in the northwest and southeast of the island, separated by a mountain range running from southwest to northeast across the island. This mountain range is called the Severance Mountains by the New Beastmen.

The Broken Mountains are not too high, with the highest peak only about 1,000 meters high, so it is not difficult to climb over them, and you can bypass the mountains by walking along the coastline. It is also possible not to walk along the coastline, as there are several passable roads on the Broken Mountains, allowing residents on both sides to go to the other side and have a lively exchange with their neighbors on the opposite side.

Linde's destination, the Fire Pig Tribe, is located near a key intersection on the east side of the mountain range.

After passing the main entrance, it doesn't take long to reach the territory of the Fire Pig Tribe. According to Benio, the mountain next to it is the original location of their tribe.

That’s right, Benio and her friends originally lived in the mountains. They are the kind of sheep that are very good at climbing. They can climb up even the most straight cliffs.

Because they live very close to each other, Benio and his companions often have lively exchanges with the Chaos Beastmen of the Fire Pig Tribe. It is also for this reason that Benio and his companions have become so powerful.

"Beyond here is the territory of the Fire Pig Tribe." Benio pointed to the main entrance. "Once we pass this place, we will soon be in battle."

"Son of God, how should we fight on the battlefield?" Benio asked Linde.

There is no doubt that these sheep beastmen are very devout in their belief in the Mother Earth. During this period of time, Lind knew that one of the most important reasons why their tribe could survive the conflicts with the Chaos Beastmen was the protection of the Mother Earth.

The Earth Mother Goddess has always been generous to the believers' prayers. Unlike other gods that require believers to be sufficiently pious before they can bless them, the Earth Mother Goddess will respond to the believers' prayers as long as they are her believers. The evidence is that all the new beastmen have the stigmata of the Earth Mother Goddess on their bodies. In the Divine Emperor Church, many believers, let alone stigmata, may not even hear the sound of the Divine Emperor farting after praying devoutly for a lifetime.

By the way, it is said that the God of Plague, the cognate god of the Earth Mother, has similar characteristics and is even more generous. The Earth Mother must respond to believers, but it is said that the God of Plague will respond to prayers, even if they are not believers.

But whether it was true or not, Linde had no interest in verifying it, nor did he dare to verify it. As a doctor, Linde disliked the Plague God the most among all the Chaos Evil Gods, and with the protection of the Mother Goddess of the Earth, the Plague God could not communicate with him. As long as he did not commit suicide, the Plague God's dirty hands could not touch him.

The fact that this group of sheep can survive until now is largely due to the blessing of the Mother Earth, and they also have a high degree of favorability towards Lind. Now they even feel like they are going to obey Lind unconditionally.

Out of respect for the Son of God, Benio asked Lind for his combat advice, but Lind was very self-aware. Although he was a time traveler and knew a lot of knowledge beyond this era, it did not mean that he was omnipotent. At least in commanding battles, he was only slightly better than a layman, and this was thanks to the knowledge of his knight squire.

But since that's what has been said, I might as well express my opinion. Lin Dexian thought for a moment and asked, "Since this is a mountain, is there any place where we can observe the situation in that camp?"

"Of course." Benio pointed to the mountain next to him. "It's right here."

Linde looked up and saw that it was a bit high.

"If Shenzi doesn't mind, I can carry you up there to have a look."

"May I?"

"of course."

So, Benio carried Linde on his back and climbed up the mountain which was almost a cliff.

After climbing to the top of the mountain, Linde still felt a lingering fear. This feeling was even more exciting than riding a roller coaster, and Linde only then realized that he might be afraid of heights.

After getting off Benio, Linde was a little unsteady. After adjusting his condition a little, Linde walked carefully to the other side of the cliff and looked down at the other side.

Although it is the same island and both are virgin forests, you can tell with the naked eye that the forests are somewhat different.

It is almost noon now, and there are not many clouds in the sky, and the sun is shining brightly, but the island on the other side looks a bit dim.

The color of the vegetation was much darker, and the light was slightly dim, as if it was a cloudy day. The entire forest seemed to be shrouded in an ominous atmosphere.

You don't need to explain in detail to know that this is the breath of chaos.

(Mother Earth, can you hear me?) Lind called out to Mother Earth.

(I heard you, my dear son.) Soon, Mother Earth replied. After a few days of relaxation, Mother Earth returned to her calling status. (What's the matter with you calling mom?)

(…I’ve reached the Chaos Beastman side of the island.) Lind said after a moment of silence. (I feel the atmosphere here is weird.)

(That is normal, because the environment on that side of the island has been distorted due to the influence of the Chaos Evil God on the Chaos Beastmen.) Mother Earth explained.

(What exactly?)

(Specifically... For example, the water flowing in the river is not clean but green rotten water, and there are pus-like things growing on the ground...)

(Okay, no need to say more.) Lind immediately interrupted the Earth Mother's heavy-tasting description. (I have a question, can the land polluted by chaos return to normal?)

(Of course you can, just get rid of the Chaos followers and then use divine magic to purify it.)

After receiving a positive reply, Linde breathed a sigh of relief. It would be a pity if half of the island could not be developed.

When Linde was communicating with the Mother Earth, Benio also felt the strong aura of the Mother Earth on Linde, and tried hard to control his inner impulse so as not to disturb the communication between the Son of God and the Mother Earth.

In order to endure, Benio bit her lip.

After the smell faded, Benio pointed to a location in the forest in the distance and said, "Your Highness, that is the location of the Fire Pig Tribe."

Looking in the direction Benio pointed, I saw a red pillar standing in the middle of an open space.

Chapter 153 Flexible Faith

There must be a reason why the Chaos Evil God is called the Evil God. If there is no reason, it is impossible for him to be labeled as evil for no reason.

The reason why Chaos Evil God is called Evil God can be seen from the word "chaos". Chaos Evil God will mess up the world, destroy the normal world, and corrupt nature into a distorted state.

Not only will the believers of the Chaos God become corrupted and twisted, but nature will also be affected. Linde has seen the Chaos God's believers with his own eyes, that is, various Chaos Beastmen, but he has never seen the impact on nature before, so now he has made up for it.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the other half of Aiwozhen Island, one can already see some signs of being distorted by chaos.

Although it was not obvious yet, some abnormalities could be seen in this half of Aiwozhen Island. Something twisted seemed to be hidden in the dense primeval forest. The entire primeval forest was like a huge open mouth, as if it could swallow everything that entered.

When he was in the Holy Empire, Lind had heard that in places where the Chaos God was powerful, nature would be distorted into unimaginable shapes, and in the Chaos Realm, the evil god's base camp, it was a dead place beyond the limits of human imagination.

However, now is not the time to study the impact of chaos on the natural environment. The current priority is to find the Fire Pig Tribe and get the Salaman Stone.

Benio pointed out the location of the Fire Pig Tribe to Linde. Looking in that direction, in a primeval forest, one could see an open space that had been cleared by humans. Some figures could be vaguely seen moving in the open space, as well as some primitive buildings.

Chaos Beastmen are hostile to all civilized creations, especially cities. Their hatred for cities is even more extreme than that of a certain Popo, and it is no longer just "you are a little too urbanized." Although they hate all man-made things, Chaos Beastmen themselves will still make some weapons, clothes, tents and other things.

In the center of the open space, what attracted Lind's attention most was a fiery red stone pillar.

He blinked in surprise. Could it be such a coincidence that there happened to be a complete Salaman stone pillar?

"What is that stone pillar?" Linde pointed at the stone pillar and asked Benio beside him.

"That's the totem pole of the Fire Pig Tribe," Benio explained. "Do you see the skull on top of the totem pole? That's the symbol of the Blood God."

"The mark of the Blood God... Chaos Beastmen who believe in the Blood God?" Upon hearing that they were believers of the Blood God, Lind immediately frowned.

Chaos Beastmen's belief in Chaos is generally pan-chaos, that is, it does not point to a specific Chaos God. There are some who point to a specific Chaos God, but they are not many.

Is this a tribe of Chaos Beastmen that worships the Blood God exclusively?

Just when Lind thought that this group of Chaos Beastmen were followers of the Blood God, something happened. A pig-headed man with a pig head and black hair climbed up the totem pole and replaced the Blood God skull that represented the Blood God with a triangle symbol.

"…What is that?" Linde narrowed his eyes and asked in a daze.

"The mark of the God of Plague," Benio replied.

"...The god we believe in has changed just like that?" Linde pointed at the new mark in a daze.

"Yes." Benio said as if it was a matter of course, as if he had seen it many times.

The divine patterns on the totem poles that are closely related to faith can be changed at will... Lind remembered a certain charlatan he had seen in his previous life who wore five religious necklaces on his body at the same time, ranging from a cross to a Tai Chi Yin-Yang fish.

The same thing happened on the bookshelf in the room I lived in before I traveled through time, with the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the Quran placed side by side.

The god of faith can be changed at will, and it is not from the vague chaos of faith to a precise evil god, but from one evil god to another. Isn't this transformation too shameless?

What’s even more amazing is that after the holy marks on the totem pole were replaced, the originally crimson totem pole gradually turned dark green, and the camp seemed to be shrouded in a green light.

Lind was even more confused. Not only did the god of faith change as he wished, but the god who was changed actually responded immediately. Is this... is this evil god stupid?

"Are those pigs always like this?" Lind asked in disbelief, pointing at the empty space.

"Yeah." Benio said with some disdain. "That's how they are. They change the gods they worship whenever they want. Sometimes when we were fighting with them, they changed their beliefs on the spot."

How should I put it... Although it may seem a bit shameless, this practice of changing one's beliefs at any time according to the actual situation...

It suits Lind's taste very well.

Logically speaking, if the God you believe in is of no use to you, why believe in him?

Since these pig-headed people are the type to change their beliefs at any time, wouldn't it be easier to get them to convert to the Mother Earth?

If possible, try to transform these pigs into new beastmen. Now that the allies have been established, it doesn't matter if there is one more group of pigs.

After the top of the totem pole was replaced with the mark of the god of plague, the entire totem pole changed color, which made Linde a little disappointed. This proved that the totem pole was not Salamanite.

However, when the entire tribe was shrouded in the power of the God of Plague, there were still dots of red dotted in the dark green, which was not covered by the dark green power of the God of Plague. This seemed to prove that there really was Salaman stone here.

Silently noting down the locations of the red spots, Linde asked Benio to take him down to meet up with the people below.

After meeting up with the others, Lind told them what he had seen and began to discuss a battle plan.

According to the original idea, the goal of this trip was to obtain the Salaman Stone, not to destroy this group of Chaos Beastmen. Moreover, the numbers of both sides were equal, and if a full-scale conflict really broke out, there would definitely be casualties on their side, which was something Lind could not accept.

Lind's goal is to avoid losses as much as possible before obtaining the Salaman Stone.

Based on this principle, after a brief discussion, a battle plan was formulated. This was not a new plan, and it was similar to the plan when rescuing Ilufa. Let the werewolves with the advantage of mobility adopt harassment tactics, hit and run, come a few times, and attract as many Chaos Beastmen as possible in the tribe, and then other Beastmen will take the opportunity to rush in and loot everything that looks like Salamanite.

The plan is not complicated, it can even be said to be simple, but that's how a battle plan is, don't make it too complicated. Sometimes the more you think about it, the more likely you are to fail, so it's better to just waaaagh a little.

After the plan was discussed, Linde began to take action.

Chapter 154 The Power of the Plague God

The Fire Pig Tribe is a tribe of all pig-like Chaos Beastmen. Unlike the New Beastmen, which sometimes have Beastmen of different races living together, the Chaos Beastmen tribes are all of a single race.
