Chapter 213
Therefore, like ordinary growers, they need to fertilize the aquatic plants every now and then.
Today it's the turn of the seaweed in the ocean.
Telingewei had already packed the Demonic Core fertilizer they would be using today into his spatial arm ring and held out his hand to Xie Juanhan: "Let's go."
Telingewei quickly transformed back into his dragon form.
Xie Juanhan rode the giant dragon, flying under the bright sunlight towards the sea area where they planted aquatic plants and cultivated Demonic Oyster, One-Bone Fish, and Demonic Sea Urchin.
As autumn approaches, the sky is exceptionally clear, and the white clouds are particularly thick.
Xie Juanhan looked at the sky, then at the Magic Forest below.
The Magic Forest was lush and green, with hardly any gaps where trees had fallen.
Even if there are one or two gaps, they are from trees that have fallen naturally. They deliberately left them there to create a fallen tree ecosystem.
The forest is vibrant with life, boasting a diverse array of trees; every glance downwards reveals a beautiful vista.
As Xie Juanhan and his group looked down, a pack of Demon Wolf also looked up.
Those below should be the cubs of the Demon Wolf clan, born this year.
The pups haven't lost their milk fur yet; they're round and chubby, and look incredibly cute.
It seems that it won't be long before Moli will have to take time out to work part-time as an instructor for the little Demon Wolf again.
I wonder what will happen to these little Demon Wolf after they're trained?
The little Demon Wolf looked up with their eyes, still covered in blue membranes, appearing both curious and afraid.
Xie Juanhan smiled and waved to the crowd below.
Upon seeing Xie Juanhan wave, the great Demon Wolf immediately looked up in greeting, letting out a long howl: "Awoo--"
The little Demon Wolf imitated their adult Demon Wolf, howling in their tender little voices, "Woof!"
They seemed not to understand why they were making that sound, which was completely different from the big wolves.
After barking twice, the little ones got a bit annoyed and started barking loudly from below. "Woof woof woof!"
Xie Juanhan's smile deepened. Not wanting the little Demon Wolf to see, he patted the dragon's neck, signaling it to fly faster.
With a smile on his face, Xie Juanhan rode the giant dragon and flew to the bay where aquatic plants grew.
They hadn't come for a while, and this period happened to be the hottest time of summer, when warm and cold currents were exchanging most frequently. As a result, the seaweed grew wildly in the sea and even reached the shore.
Even from a great distance, Xie Juanhan could see the green seaweed beneath the seawater.
The aquatic plants spread onto the mudflats, turning them green as well.
This mudflat may sometimes be submerged by the rising tide, which allows aquatic plants to grow in this area.
Xie Juanhan was surprised. "The fertilizer we used last time was good; the aquatic plants are growing so well."
Telingewei carried Xie Juanhan to the ground and transformed back into human form. "It could also be due to Blessing Magic."
"Perhaps, we can cast the Blessing Magic again later." Xie Juanhan rolled up his sleeves. "Where's the fertilizer? Let me see."
Fertilizing in the sea is different from fertilizing on land, so they specially ordered a batch of straw tubes, similar to bamboo tubes, from the Star Market.
Now the fertilizer is tightly inserted into the aquatic plant tube. When they need to use it, they just need to turn the tube upside down and insert it at the base of the aquatic plants.
That way, the fertilizer in the hay bale will be released slowly and won't be washed away by the water flow, resulting in waste.
With the preliminary work done, fertilizing was simple for them; they just needed to dive underwater, locate the roots of the aquatic plants, and insert the plant tube downwards.
It takes less than three seconds to fertilize a water plant.
Xie Juanhan is now very skilled at farm work. He stuffed the half of the grass tube that Telingewei had given him into his space arm ring, then plunged into the sea, swimming and inserting it as he went.
Their Demonic Sea Urchin are kept nearby.
The Demonic Sea Urchin don't move very far, and they don't use nets or anything like that; Demonic Sea Urchin just swim freely.
When he went down, he found that there were many more Demonic Sea Urchin than when they had been raising them; they must all be wild Demonic Sea Urchin attracted by the seaweed.
Below, Demonic Sea Urchin sensed Xie Juanhan's presence, its spines bristling, ready to fire at any moment.
Xie Juanhan glanced at them and felt that these Demonic Sea Urchin were already quite plump.
When they get back, they can catch two more baskets. Half of them can be used to make raw sea urchin with Goblin leaves, and the other half can be used to make Demonic Sea Urchin eggs.
I estimate the Tata Fish will spend the whole day in the Magic Forest, which will be a good opportunity to entertain Tata Fish and soothe their emotions.
As Xie Juanhan worked, his thoughts wandered.
He swam from the mudflats to the depths of the bay, and then from the depths of the bay back to the mudflats, making a round trip.
He walked from the sea towards the mudflats, turning his head, intending to find Telingewei and invite Telingewei to come up and rest for a while.
Just then, he suddenly stepped on something smooth and hard.
Because of his ability to fly, Xie Juanhan usually walks quite lightly, never taking a solid step on the first step.
He stepped on a smooth, hard object and assumed it was some kind of shellfish.
They planted aquatic plants here, and the number of creatures in the vicinity has noticeably increased.
He just saw a lot of shellfish that look like abalone; he can take some back with him later.
Once the shellfish have expelled all the sand, let Telingewei control the heat, put them in a pot to steam, and once they are cooked, immediately soak them in ice water. That way, the cooked shellfish will be soft, tender, and fresh.
I'm a bit tired today, so I'll just find some clams and eat the adductor muscle; I'm too lazy to wash the rest.
Thinking this, Xie Juanhan simply reached into the mud and scooped out the object.
When he pulled his hand out, he found that what he was holding was not a shellfish, but a round egg.
This egg is a little smaller than a goose egg, but only slightly smaller.
It was bluish-white in my hand, with a smooth and hard shell, looking like the egg laid by some kind of Demon Bird.
Xie Juanhan examined the bird eggs and found them to be quite fresh, definitely laid within the last ten days.
There was no sign of life inside; it was probably an unfertilized egg.
It's true what they say, what you wish for comes true.
Xie Juanhan weighed the bird egg in his hand.
He was just about to make steamed sea urchin with egg when he found an egg in the mudflats.
I'm quite lucky.
Bird eggs delivered right to your door—why not take them?
Xie Juanhan took a basket directly from his spatial arm ring and put the bird eggs into the basket.
As he was about to leave the mudflats, Xie Juanhan had a sudden thought and rubbed the mud around his feet.
He reached over and found two more bird eggs, one fertilized and one unfertilized.
Surely there aren't some silly birds that deliberately lay their eggs in the mudflats and let them slowly incubate in the silt?
Xie Juanhan didn't touch the fertilized bird egg, but took out the unfertilized one, rinsed it, and then searched the vicinity again.
After wandering around for a couple of minutes, he found a total of nine unfertilized bird eggs within a ten-meter radius.
This must be the breeding ground of some kind of Demon Bird.
Xie Juanhan roused himself and decided to search again.
"A-Han?" Telingewei emerged from the sea and called out to him, "What are you looking for?"
"Looking for bird eggs." Xie Juanhan beckoned, "Come and see, there are lots of unfertilized bird eggs here!"
Telingewei: "Why are there still Demon Bird laying eggs here?"
"I was thinking the same thing, but then I realized that it's peaceful and there's plenty of food here. The Demon Bird can eat meat or vegetables as they please, so it's normal that they like to lay their eggs here."
Xie Juanhan didn't even bother to apply fertilizer; he immediately dragged Telingewei along to search the vicinity.
There were indeed many Demon Bird nearby, and many of them were unfertilized.
They filled two large baskets.
Xie Juanhan glanced at the basket. "Let's stop here for today. We'll come back next time we want some."
Telingewei nodded. "Collect only a little, the Demon Bird might not notice and continue to lay eggs."
"I think so too." Xie Juanhan pulled Telingewei along, "Quick, quick, let's finish inserting the rest of the straw tubes, then we'll go back and make something delicious."
Xie Juanhan wants to make steamed egg with Demonic Sea Urchin.
The eggs in their house are basically all kinds of unfertilized bird eggs of various sizes from the Magic Forest.
--The Demon Bird tastes better than the Chicken Egg.
Today there were fresh seabird eggs, Xie Juanhan simply used them when making Demonic Sea Urchin eggs.
He took three eggs out of the basket, intending to whisk them first.
"Smack--"
As soon as the Demon Bird was cracked open, the yolk inside fell into the bowl.
The clear egg white coated a bright orange-red bird yolk, looking incredibly rich and fresh, and it even had a faint eggy aroma.
Xie Juanhan's eyebrows involuntarily rose.
This is actually a level two Demon Bird.
The level-two Demon Bird were randomly dug up on the beach, and at least a hundred unfertilized Demon Bird were buried inside.
It seems their family won't lack Demon Bird for the next three months.

See you tomorrow
Chapter 213 [VIP]
While Xie Juanhan and Telingewei were still cooking, the furry creatures waited patiently at the door.
Waves of heat rose from the kitchen.
The unique sweet aroma of Demonic Sea Urchin wafted out, combined with the fragrance of steamed eggs, creating an irresistible aroma that could whet one's appetite.
The furry creatures couldn't resist using their paws, pacing back and forth at the doorway as if they had nails stuck to their bottoms.
Xie Juanhan trusted Telingewei's control over the heat, so instead of looking at the pot, he started a separate pot on a flat-topped stove to simmer the fish soy sauce.
The fish soy sauce I bought at the Star Market was quite salty, and had a slightly fishy taste.
Most living things might not be able to taste it, but their furry creatures have incredibly sensitive taste buds and can detect it.
At first, the furry creatures weren't picky about food; they were happy as long as they had something to eat. Now that they've eaten more, they've become picky eaters.
