These few days, Zhao Hai had been trading with Laura. Now, there was an additional 10 mu of land in the origin space. However, Zhao Hai had used all of it to grow the magic vegetables, so he did not seem to have any free time.
These magic vegetables were all around level-15, so they took a little longer to ripen. The first time they ripened was about a day, and they were all crops that had been grown for three seasons, so Zhao Hai and the others did not have to take care of them too much.
Although the five items were magic plants, Zhao Hai looked almost the same as those on earth. The tuberose looked like potatoes, the sweet pepper looked like green pepper, the red barley looked like carrots, the green fruit looked like tomatoes, and the green Chrysalis looked like enigma.
Although they looked similar, the taste was much better than the vegetables Zhao Hai had eaten on earth. As for the magical elements, Zhao Hai could not feel them at all.
Zhao Hai was not idle at the ranch either. He had used the 100 extra space to raise his magical Flying Eagle. These things were almost as good as the Air Force. Zhao Hai believed that they would level up again. By then, they might be able to carry people and form their own Air Force.
Five days after they destroyed Boff, Boff finally finished drawing the map. Although it was a simple map, it was very useful to Zhao Hai and the others.
Boff had been to many places, but he didn’t fly straight to Huacheng. Instead, he walked around the rotten corpse swamp for a long time before he arrived.
Zhao Hai had also asked Boff if he had done it on purpose. However, Boff’s answer had surprised Zhao Hai. He did not do it on purpose. He just wanted to cross the corpse swamp to see what was on the other side. However, as soon as he entered the swamp, he felt that he was surrounded by colorful fog. He could not tell the direction at all. Although he felt that he was flying straight, he ended up going in circles.
Even when Boff came out, it wasn’t smooth sailing. He had to take a lot of detours before he finally came out.
At this point, Zhao Hai could not help but think of Zhao Zui and the others. Although Zhao Zui and the others did not venture too deep into the corpse rotting swamp, they were probably not walking in a straight line anymore. It seemed like the corpse rotting swamp was not a simple place.
After receiving the map, Zhao Hai did not go immediately. Instead, he asked Grimm to go to Casar city and buy a piece of high-quality magical beast skin. The magical beast skin was processed and looked like cow skin. It was two meters long and one meter wide. After a simple packing, they carefully drew the map that Boff had drawn on the cow skin, only slightly enlarged.
In the agreement between the Arkas and the Buda family, the rotten corpse swamp was also the territory of the Buda family. If the rotten corpse swamp was counted, then the territory of the Buda family had completely surpassed the Arkas Empire.
However, everyone on the continent knew that it was useless to give the Buda family a large piece of land. There was nothing in the rotten corpse swamp. Who would dare to go in? it was better to give the Buda family a piece of desert in the Black Earth wilderness.
However, Zhao Hai didn’t think so. If they could really solve the problem of the rotten corpse swamp, not only would they have no more worries, but he could also transform the blackdirt wastelands without any worries.
If he could get rid of the rotten corpse swamp, there wouldn’t be any more demonic beasts and undead creatures causing trouble in the blackdirt wastelands. Besides, Zhao Hai could also use a large number of demonic beasts and undead creatures to seal off the outer perimeter of the blackdirt wastelands. This way, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to come in. No one would know even if they caused a ruckus inside.
This was exactly what Zhao Hai wanted. He wanted the blackdirt wastelands and the rotten corpse swamp to become an independent kingdom. When they were strong enough, even if those people knew about their situation, they wouldn’t dare to do anything to them.
It was because of this that Zhao Hai wanted to make a bigger map out of the leather. No matter what, he had to have a good understanding of his territory.
Zhao Hai and green spent a few days to complete the map and prepare for the carrion swamp. They now had more than a thousand mature magical beast Eagles in their hands. Although they could not ride on humans, these Eagles would listen to Zhao Hai’s command. As long as Zhao Hai commanded them well, these Eagles would be very powerful.
In fact, there was nothing much to prepare for the trip to the corpse swamp. There were only so many of them, and Zhao Hai could not bring the slaves with him. They did not have to worry about food, water, or the poison, so there was nothing to worry about.
The preparations that Zhao Hai and the others were talking about were actually the deal with Laura. Although they didn’t have to worry about the deal with Laura due to the space, they still had to make some arrangements before going out. If something really happened in the corpse swamp that they couldn’t leave for, the deal would be troublesome.
Now, they had a lot of business with Laura. Corn, bamboo rice, carrots, Fruit Oil, and blue-eyed rabbits. All of them added together would be enough to keep Zhao Hai busy.
Fortunately, he could control the space with just a thought. However, it was still a problem to hand these things to Laura.
In the end, Zhao Hai could only use the method he used to deal with the Versailles family. When the time came, he would place the items at the foot of the mountain and let Laura take them away.
Rocky Mountain was now very quiet. The Versailles family had transferred all the slaves back to the ika Plains to level the land and plant some crops. Although the food couldn’t be harvested, some vegetables could still be used on the road. No matter what, it couldn’t be left in such a desolate place.
The Duchy of Versailles had returned to its peaceful state. Even though the food disaster this time was severe, the biggest losses were the Versailles family. The family had a deep foundation, so the losses were nothing. Instead of calling Duke Versailles’s matter a natural disaster, it was more like a man-made disaster. Of course, the man-made disaster was not referring to Zhao Hai releasing the insects, but the merchants.
If it wasn’t for those big merchants stirring up trouble in the market, the Versailles Duchy would have easily survived this food disaster. There wouldn’t have been any fluctuations in food at all, and there wouldn’t have been any rumors either. It would only cause the Versailles Duchy to lose some money and be so busy that they wouldn’t have the mood to find trouble with the Buda family.
However, this was not without benefits. Ivan’s promotion was a good thing for the Versailles family, and it was even better for Zhao Hai. On the other hand, the merchants did not play a glorious role in this incident, which made the Versailles family more vigilant against them. They paid more attention to food, which was both a common civilian and strategic material. In the future, if anyone wanted to deal with the Versailles family in this way, they would have to pay more attention to the food. It was already impossible.
The peace in the Versailles dukedom had both advantages and disadvantages for Zhao Hai. The advantage was that he could do business in peace. The disadvantage was that the Versailles family might come to the blackdirt wastelands to check on the situation once they settled down.
Zhao Hai wasn’t too worried about such a situation. If someone really came to the blackearth wilderness, they wouldn’t be able to hide from the undead creatures. He could make preparations in advance.
This time, Zhao Hai did not tell Laura that he was going on a long journey. In fact, he did not really go out this time. He spent most of his time in Iron Mountain fortress and Rocky Mountain. He only let his magical beast, Eagle, fly in the sky with his staff. He would only go out when he reached the ground. At most, he would go out to see if there were any special plants when the magical beast stopped to rest. The rest of the time, Zhao Hai did not want to stay in the corpse swamp for too long.
Finally, ten days after Zhao Hai’s team had destroyed Boff, everything was ready. Zhao Hai released five Mirage beast Eagles and flew straight into the carrion swamp.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the Eagles entered the carrion swamp, a notification sound came from the medium, ” &Quot; biochemical beast has come into contact with poisonous substances. Gene mutation. Absorbing poison, strengthening gene. Attack with poison. &Quot;
This caused Zhao Hai and the others to be stunned. Puzzled, gerlyn turned to Zhao Hai and said, ” &Quot; young master, when the space strengthened the Mirage beast before, didn’t it have poison in its attack like the undead creatures? ”
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and shook his head, ” &Quot; No. It seems that the strengthening effect of the space on the undead creatures wasn’t used on the magical beasts. We have to pay attention to this in the future. &Quot;
&Quot; that’s right, ” green nodded. &Quot; it would be great if the magic beasts in the space could level up continuously like the undead creatures. Then their combat power would continue to increase, and we would have an easier time. &Quot;
Zhao Hai laughed, ” but right now, the magical things that the realm is showing are beyond my imagination. No one knows what will happen in the future. In any case, the farm’s level is still too low. Perhaps when the farm levels up, there will be more surprises. &Quot;
Clint nodded and said with a face full of joy, ” &Quot; yeah, the farm alone has already given us so many surprises. I really hope to see what kind of surprises the ranch will give us. &Quot;
Zhao Hai was also looking forward to it. Although he had a good understanding of the farm and ranch game on the computer, he didn’t know much about the mutated farm. He could only read the introduction of the realm after the realm upgraded, but the introduction wasn’t very comprehensive. For example, Zhao Hai didn’t know that the realm could improve crops from the beginning.
Zhao Hai and green were both staring at the screen in the origin space. They had never really entered the rotten corpse swamp, so they wanted to see what it was like.
To Zhao Hai’s surprise, they thought that the visibility in the carrion swamp would be very low. However, once they entered the swamp, their visibility was not that low. It was similar to the fog outside, and the visibility was at least 200 meters. Although it was not as good as on a sunny day, it was much better than Zhao Hai and the others had expected.
