Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System-Chapter 87 - 77: Tonight, the 10th Intelligence Update
And those twenty corpses had already been half-devoured, leaving only two or three broken remains piled on the ground.
The lizard paid no heed to anything else, its mouth suddenly opened wide, directly tearing into the corpses with a ripping sound.
It easily tore off a large chunk of flesh, lifted its head to adjust the position, and then swallowed it down.
Blood stained its mouth and head, making others feel a chill in their hearts.
Haggs, who was watching over the scene, immediately greeted Lear excitedly upon his arrival.
"Good day, Sovereign..."
Lear nodded.
"How is the cultivation going? Are there any issues?"
"Everything is going smoothly. Just provide enough flesh, and in at most three days, it can transform into a Fierce Wild Lizard."
Haggs’ excitement shone in his eyes.
Being able to personally cultivate a legendary soldier among the Lizard-men felt incredibly satisfying.
Lear glanced at the broken remains on the ground, his gaze flickering.
"How many more corpses are needed?"
"At least thirty to fifty... the exact number can’t be estimated right now."
Discussing this, Haggs felt a bit of a headache.
As the most elite soldier among the Lizard-men, its strength and power need no further explanation, but breeding it is also extremely challenging.
Flesh is high-quality food, and in the Wilderness, it is a precious strategic resource.
Not only does breeding require a supply of flesh, but maintaining it in the future will also need food...
Even the powerful Lizard-man tribes find it difficult to sustain too many Cold-blooded Cavalry.
Lear felt a happy sort of worry.
He turned his gaze towards the direction of the Three-tailed Pig.
If that’s the case, then they’ll have to raise only a portion of them first... the growth of the Three-tailed Pig still requires some time.
But once the pig farm gets on track, paired with the astonishing growth speed of Seven-Colored Moss, these won’t be issues.
"In the coming days, prioritize supplying your area with the hunting bounty."
He then immediately summoned the Two-headed Giant Chief.
His eyes burned as he looked at this still-incomplete level 11 Hero transformation.
"Aite, lead two hundred Wetland Lizard-men to hunt towards the east. Keep the range within 20 kilometers, don’t stray too far from the territory."
"Withdraw immediately if you encounter danger."
"The territory needs a massive amount of flesh!"
The other promptly accepted the order and left.
He was still in the process of transforming, expected to be completed in about ten days.
Bloodshed and slaughter would give him deeper insights, making him stronger!
Ogres have never been cowards; the battlefield is where they belong!
Once Aite departed, Lear’s mood lightened.
Having ample manpower felt comfortable.
No need to pinch pennies anymore.
At that moment, Bain came joyfully to deliver good news.
"Sir, ↓ the southern farmland has been mostly cleared, ready for farming!"
Lear’s eyes lit up.
↓ Five kilometers to the south is the farmland area, which has been rapidly cultivated these days.
A thousand acres is no small number.
Once fully cultivated, it can sustain five to six thousand people.
With the Horn of Fertility obtained, this data could be greatly increased.
"Immediately arrange for people to plant Swamp Wheat."
"We need sufficient food reserves!"
Having received Deltha people and Wetland Lizard-men, the population has now exceeded a thousand.
The demand for food has visibly increased.
The previously six-month-sustaining Noah’s Rice can no longer provide sufficient support.
This pressure is quite fierce.
Food is the foundation of everything; without being able to eat, what will the territory sustain itself with?
If not for the Horn of Fertility, Lear would be pulling his hair out.
This moment made him realize why the Wilderness rarely develops terrifying Great Cities like Lorand City.
Wandering, unstable environments, coupled with food limitations, make development extremely difficult.
"Yes!!"
The Mud Swamp People Hero eagerly departed just shortly after arriving.
Lear chuckled at this.
Suddenly, he recalled intelligence refreshed upon entering the swamp—
Beneath the land occupied by the Rotten Centaurs grows a 1 Star Magic Plant: Blue Heart Mud Fruit.
This piece of intelligence is valued at 3 Stars!
Blue Heart Mud Fruit, similar to Noah’s Rice, is a special Magic Food. A meal of Noah’s Rice lasts for five days without needing more food.
A meal of Blue Heart Mud Fruit lasts for one day.
Although the effect is diminished, it’s still far superior to ordinary Swamp Wheat.
Perhaps, it’s time to consider taking action against those Rotten Centaurs.
A tribe numbering over 500 could provide him with enough flesh...
Whether it’s for breeding Cold-blooded Cavalry or feeding Flesh Butchers, he urgently needs this batch of flesh.
Calming his mind, he didn’t linger longer, continuing to inspect the territory.
He checked on Three-tailed Pig, Dragon Blood Red Fish, and Venus Flytrap.
The growth was promising.
With the Horn of Fertility in place, he could clearly feel significant changes day by day.
Especially with the Three-tailed Pig, its already massive body continued growing.
The weight limit increased by 30%, and this was no joke.
Really, it’s becoming Pig-sized.
After a tour, he arrived at the farming area, watching people tirelessly sowing Swamp Wheat seeds, feeling at ease.
Swamp Wheat doesn’t need seedling transplanting; just bury the seeds in the mud, and before long, they will sprout into wheat seedlings.
The original growth cycle of Swamp Wheat is 3 months per harvest, allowing for four rotations a year.
With the Horn of Fertility, the growth cycle is shortened to two months!
Allowing six rotations a year!
That’s simply unbelievable!
Whose food can be harvested six times a year?
Moreover, the swamp provides ample land; as the population increases, continued cultivation is a breeze.
The development potential is limitless.
The feeling of watching the territory improve day by day became addictive to Lear.
The internal situation was excellent, but the Wetland Lizard-men dispatched to investigate the Evil God worshippers didn’t bring back good news.
By evening, the army returned with no findings.
More than a hundred Wetland Lizard-men turned the area upside down but couldn’t find a single trace of an Evil God worshipper.
Instead, they discovered an even older sacrificial site.
This affected Lear’s mood to some extent.
A sense of crisis intensified.
Fortunately, the Two-headed Giant Chief brought back hundreds of Swamp Monster corpses, somewhat alleviating his concerns.
No matter what, strengthening oneself is an eternal truth.
As long as the Flesh Butcher awakens in time, there is nothing to worry about.
As night fell, people occasionally glanced at the stage in front of the City Hall.
Even knowing there was no theatrical performance tonight, they remained hopeful...
Lear wasn’t in a hurry to sleep, silently waiting as time passed.
Today is August 19th; in the early morning, the Intelligence System will refresh, and this time is different from before... this is the 10th intelligence update.
Every 10 intelligence updates, it will surely refresh to reveal a piece of intelligence above 4 Stars.
He had been eagerly anticipating today for a long time.
Finally, Lear felt time dragging as he awaited midnight.
At the moment the world transitioned from the 19th to the 20th, familiar prompts from the intelligence system appeared in his mind.
[The Intelligence System has cooled down and can refresh intelligence. Do you want to refresh?]
[Note: This is the 10th intelligence refresh, and it will reveal an intelligence piece above 4 Stars.]
Lear’s emotions skyrocketed; taking a deep breath, he decisively commanded the refresh.
The intelligence began to appear, and the first piece already excited him.
[1. 25 kilometers northwest, underground lies a high-quality iron ore vein, next to it reside cavemen skilled in mining ore. (2 Stars)]
To start with a 2 Star intelligence?!!
