Thousands of Tons of Dragon Meat, a Bold Idea!
"So, on a regular basis, we mainly eat [Black Soil Mushroom]."
"Consider the bread and fried meat a reward for their contribution."
Unfortunately, the raw materials for the latter two foods are produced in limited quantities, requiring [Moonlight Wheat] and [Finger Worm Meat].
The territory now contains 150 acres of fertile land, all planted with Moonlight Wheat, but it takes two months to harvest.
Based on a yield of 1000 kg per mu, a single harvest can yield 150 tons.
But it's not enough to feed all the people in the territory, especially since there are orcs and dragons who are huge gluttons.
Normally, Shen Xing uses Black Soil Mushroom as food when recruiting dragons and orc troops; Moonlight Wheat is simply not enough.
As for the latter, 'Finger Worm meat,' the output is even less.
Although the presence of [White-Fleshed Helmet Mushroom] in the territory can accelerate the growth and reproduction of Finger Worm when mixed with food.
But after so many days, the number of adult Finger Worm in the territory has only increased from 20 to 300.
It sounds like the growth rate is fast, but it still can't keep up with the development speed of the territory.
"However... now that we have people under our command, these problems will be easily solved."
"There are tens of thousands of acres of uncultivated wasteland outside the territory. If we can cultivate another thousand acres or so, we can plant Moonlight Wheat all of it."
"Then expand the mushroom cultivation room below and cultivate more 'White-Fleshed Helmet Mushroom'."
"At that time, the production of Moonlight Wheat and Finger Worm Meat will increase several times over, and then we'll be able to afford bread and meat patties freely."
Shen Xing thought to herself with anticipation.
Then I exited the overhead view mode, closed my eyes again, and began absorbing the Soul Stone.
Time flew by, and another three hours passed.
At 21:21, Kyle, the territory's beast tamer, spoke through the communication crystal.
"My lord, are you available now? I have something to report to you."
Shen Xing opened his eyes, took out the crystal, and replied, "Convenient, what's up?"
A few seconds later, Kyle respectfully said, "The batch of Lava Dragon corpses you recently instructed us to dispose of have all been completely decomposed."
"We'd like to invite you over to take a look and, while you're at it, dispose of the materials from these dragons."
"Oh? It's already been taken care of?"
Shen Xing immediately perked up.
A few days ago, the Red Dragon Sovereign led an army of Lava Dragon to attack, but Shen Xing wiped them all out.
The largest body of the Red Dragon Sovereign was stolen... borrowed by that one from the Blackwater River.
The remaining thousand-plus dragon carcasses were dragged into the territory for decomposition, scale removal, and other processing.
Now, it's finally all done.
"Great, I'll be right there."
Shen Xing responded and immediately stood up from the White Jade Lotus Platform.
Next, he adjusted the acceleration rate of the Lotus Pond to one hundred times and walked straight towards the outside world.
Soon, they arrived at the northern part of the territory, which was the industrial area.
We passed a food processing plant and a blacksmith's shop, and arrived at an open area behind it.
As soon as you get close, a strong aura of lava, mixed with the scorching smell of blood, hits you.
Within it, Shen Xing also sensed a strong killing intent!
It seemed to contain the resentment of thousands of dragons, causing a profound shock to one's mind.
For an ordinary person, just getting close to it would make them feel cold and their limbs stiff.
Those with weak minds may even faint on the spot and fall seriously ill afterward.
However, as Tier Four powerhouse who had also passed the SS-level trial, Lord Shen's mind was already incredibly firm.
This bit of menacing aura was nothing more than a gentle breeze to him.
"Rippling..."
The wheelchair rolled across the cobblestone path and arrived at the center of the open space.
At a glance, you could see that the animal trainer Kyle was wearing an apron and standing there with a large group of burly men.
They were all fierce-looking, radiating a faint red glow, clearly seasoned veterans who were used to slaughtering.
Behind them, there were piles of materials, like small mountains.
Shen Xing saw a large pile of dark red dragon bones, with flame patterns flowing on their surface, resembling ancient pillars of lava fire.
Beside it were piles of flame scales, each one as dazzling as red crystal, like a heap of gems.
Further away, large chunks of dragon meat were cut up, strung together with straw ropes, and hung on hundreds of wooden frames.
On the other side were long, tough tendons, like whips, all coiled together like giant, dark red pythons!
Even more outrageous are the more than a thousand giant dragon heads piled up next to it.
Some had their dragon eyes closed, while others had their vertical pupils wide open, their eyes filled with resentful killing intent, each radiating a powerful aura of malevolence!
It seems as if it might come to life at any moment and swallow you whole.
These materials constantly emanated powerful flame energy and blood energy.
All piled together resembled volcanoes, emanating a scorching heat and the stench of blood.
Chapter 330: Thousands of tons of dragon meat, a bold idea!
"My lord, the corpses of over a thousand dragons have all been decomposed."
"All the materials are here; please take a look."
The beast tamer Kyle stepped forward and respectfully reported.
Shen Xing looked around and nodded slightly. "Everyone has worked hard. Go find Nimue later and get a few Rejuvenation Pill to distribute to the brothers."
They've really had a tough time these past few days.
After all, the corpses they had to deal with were powerful Lava Dragon, each with the strength of Tier Three being.
Even after death, it still radiates a burning heat.
The mere thought of handling corpses under such terrifying high temperatures is something most people couldn't endure.
Moreover, these dragons possess incredibly strong bodies, making them completely impervious to damage from ordinary weapons.
It takes a tremendous amount of effort to dismantle each one.
Some of these Tier Four dragons were so powerful that they couldn't even be cut down.
Left with no other choice, they had to seek help from generals such as Gorehowl and Xiao Hei.
With the help of these Tier Four experts, they finally finished disposing of the more than one thousand dragon corpses.
Therefore, giving them some rewards is perfectly reasonable.
Kyle straightened his expression and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord!"
Even the butchers showed excitement in their eyes.
They had all heard that a miraculous elixir had been newly developed in the territory, capable of restoring ten years of youth.
For these rough-looking men, looks are naturally irrelevant.
But the Rejuvenation Pill is not such a superficial thing.
Its greatest function is to revitalize the body.
In other words, this Rejuvenation Pill can restore them to their former peak condition, full of energy.
If used by esports players or Olympic athletes, it could greatly extend their professional careers.
Then, Shen Xing waved his hand and collected all the materials on the ground.
