Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton

“Uh, yes, I haven’t finished yet, the Saline Demon Rice, named by the Spring Breeze Druid.” Negris again flips over that planting manual and takes a few glances.

Ange points to the end of the gorge, “Is the lake over there?”

Negris nods. The Fallen Dragon Gorge is like a mark on the earth, and the end of the mark is the Fallen Dragon Lake. It’s not far, just like an exclamation mark.

From a shape perspective, it indeed resembles something striking the ground at high speed, plowing out a gorge, then bouncing and smashing out a large lake.

“Let’s go and check it out.” Ange suddenly says, “There’s something there.”

“Something there? How do you know?” Negris asks perplexedly, “You’ve never been here.”

“When I pulled them just now, one of them was too big to be moved.” Ange points to those moving corpses.

Negris’s expression shudders. Pulled them? With the power of King’s Arrival?

If this was before, Negris wouldn’t think it’s a problem. If it can’t be moved, then it can’t. There are many things Ange can’t move. But realizing that Ange has changed into the power of Steadfast Locke, he doesn’t think so.

What kind of thing is the corpse that even Steadfast Locke can’t move?

John is called over. Having finished eating the beetroot, John is tightly holding that bag of food, takes a small handful, and stuffs it into his mouth along with the shell, chewing while spitting out the shell.

“John, is there anything in the lake?” Negris asks.

“Yes, there are Fishman Water Monsters.”

“Are there also water monsters? Anything else?”

“There is… salt?”

Obviously, they can’t get anything more out of John. Everyone discusses and then turns towards the large lake. They walk less than three kilometers, and a boundless ‘sea’ appears before their eyes.

If no one said it was a lake, everyone would definitely consider it as the sea because it’s too big to see the other shore.

“No wonder there are tidal movements, this lake is too big.” Brooks also can’t help but exclaim.

People are expressing amazement about their own hometown. John and You Rongyan proudly say, “A merchant has traveled around the lake, saying that it is at least five hundred kilometers long from east to west, and more than four hundred kilometers long from north to south.”

The wetland along the lake has many plants growing. Although it is a saline lake, some salt-tolerant plants are still growing tenaciously. There are even fish swimming in the gaps between the plants.

“Isn’t it a saltwater lake? Why are there fish?” Naeli asks curiously.

Negris facepalms and said sheepishly, “The sea is salty too, of course there will be fish.”

Naeli can’t help but shrink her head, realizing that she had asked a stupid question. There are far more species of saltwater fish than freshwater ones.

“What about those? What kind of fish are they? They seem quite big.” Naeli shrinks her neck for a while, then suddenly points to the distance on the lake surface. There are hundreds of traces on the lake surface, as if there are large fish swimming underwater.

Hearing this, John turns around, his face changes dramatically, and shouts, “Not good, those are not fish, those are Fishman Water Monsters!”

When over a hundred ferocious and grim ‘water monsters’ emerge from the water, waving their claws and rushing towards them with their mouths wide open, Brooks sighs, “Okay, there must be a Giant Dragon that died here. These are shark crocodiles, crocodiles that have been contaminated by dragon blood and evolved into dragon-like creatures.”

“So ugly.” Negris complains.

John who is already prepared to flee looks at everyone so calm, he can’t help but say, “Uh, should… should we run now?”

“Run? Why run?” Brooks smiles, bends down his body, opens his mouth and roars at those shark crocodiles. A shadow of a dragon head emerges, opens its wide mouth, and lets out a silent roar.

The running shark crocodiles bleed from their seven orifices as they run. Their scales fall off, and they fall down silently and die.

John’s eyes are about to fall out. These hundreds of shark crocodiles that could wipe out a village were all killed by a roar from the man in front of him with his nostrils facing the sky. He realizes that he seems to have encountered some formidable existences.

Ange transfers several tons of food over, first cooks them, and then lets John take a bag of beets to call people back home, to invite everyone nearby who can move. Those who are too hungry to walk are given a piece of beetroot first.

As soon as the hundreds of people from nearby villages hear that there is food that can fill their stomach, they immediately bring their families and rush over. Seeing the fragrant porridge, they sincerely knock on the ground.

A large wave of Soul Flames floods over, which really troubles Ange. He invites people with food to dig, not for eating.

The villagers who had their fill of food at Ange’s indication unearthed a medium-sized Giant Dragon skeleton.
