Chapter 966: Chapter 362: Fire Bamboo Insect King
Liang Yuan’s words filled Dong Yan with joy.
Her mind link ability is actually just an auxiliary skill, and it’s hard to engage in combat.
So once she leaves the shelter’s protection, Dong Yan would find it difficult to survive alone.
But now Liang Yuan has found her two top-tier mutant beasts as bodyguards, greatly improving her safety.
Of course, the Little Black Golden Giant Ape has become a good partner with Dong Yan, though the other one still requires more training.
Liang Yuan planted a parasite species in it, and next, he needs to repeatedly train this Black Stone Ant Queen to gradually form instincts, naturally taming it.
Just like the Black Gold Giant Ape, which is already fully tamed now.
Not only does it obey Liang Yuan, but it also doesn’t actively attack humans at the Yangshan Shelter.
Of course, if anyone dares to provoke it, the Black Gold Giant Ape will not give face.
Besides Liang Yuan, the only ones it listens to are Dong Yan, Yang Mei, Ding Yan, and a few others who frequently appear in front of it.
Gao Jie looked at Dong Yan with envy and then asked, "Mr. Liang, can we build a settlement nearby in the future?"
Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, not only should we build a settlement, but also establish the Sang Tree Economic Department to fully develop the economic value of the mulberry trees."
"But we must be cautious not to disrupt the ecological balance, ensuring sustainable development."
"Additionally, we need to prepare to breed these Black Stone Ants; they will become the guardians of this mulberry forest."
Gao Jie was excited and nodded eagerly, "Mr. Liang, who should we find to be in charge of this matter?"
Liang Yuan thought about it, Yang Mei was responsible for Yangshan Complex affairs, Ding Yan and Zhao Kai were in charge of the patrol team’s armed forces, Old Ma focused primarily on construction projects.
Yang Shenmin, Granny Li, Cai Zhi, and the others already had arrangements made.
For a moment, he couldn’t find a suitable candidate.
Seeing Liang Yuan silent, Gao Jie tentatively asked, "Mr. Liang, actually I think Miss Zhuang is very capable. Back when the Martial King Pavilion was first built, she handled it, nominally managed by Wu Meng."
"But in reality, it was all managed by Miss Zhuang, she was a manager in the system before the great flood."
"If you think there’s no one else, why not..."
Speaking to this point, she suddenly noticed Dong Yan glaring angrily at her.
Gao Jie instantly felt a chill and quickly shut her mouth.
She thought to herself, oh no, how did I forget that this girl doesn’t get along with Sister Zhuang.
Liang Yuan listened to Gao Jie’s words, couldn’t help but smile and shook his head slightly, "Zhuang Shuyuan’s abilities are more suitable for the Inspection Team, not fit for here."
He pondered slightly, "The environment at Lingyun Slope is complex, we need someone with certain combat capabilities to oversee it."
"Let’s have Wu Ying come over."
Liang Yuan finally decided.
Wu Ying’s abilities have very high concealment, capable of effectively protecting herself.
If anything urgent happens here, Wu Ying can surely escape back to seek help in time.
With him promptly returning to report, leveraging the Black Stone Ant Queen’s strength, holding off the enemy for some time would certainly be doable.
By then, Yangshan could surely respond quickly with countermeasures.
Gao Jie was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, knowing that compared to the Inspection Team, the leadership role at Lingyun Slope surely holds greater status and authority.
But she also knew that this place indeed needs a person with certain combat abilities to anchor it.
Sister Zhuang, though experienced in management, is not good at combat.
Perhaps the Inspection Team is more suitable for Sister Zhuang.
"Okay, regarding matters of the Black Stone Ant Queen, later I’ll hand them over to Wu Ying, Gao Jie, you take me to the place where you discovered the Fire Bamboo Insect King."
Gao Jie promptly nodded, "Yes, Mr. Liang, please follow me."
Immediately, Liang Yuan collected all the mutated mulberry fruits, then took Dong Yan away from the Mulberry Forest.
The three walked in the mountains, quickly meeting the outside patrol team, and soon reached the northern side of Lingyun Slope.
A large expanse of lush Fire Bamboo Forest filled the area, some older fire bamboos resembling red clouds, dyeing a vast mountain area red.
"Mr. Liang, the Fire Bamboo Insect King lives in this Fire Bamboo Forest, but since it’s a master of disguise, it might be hard to find it quickly; we’ll need time."
Liang Yuan looked at this large Fire Bamboo Forest, nodded slightly, and said, "No hurry, just progress slowly."
Dong Yan looked at the Fire Bamboo Forest and couldn’t help but exclaim, "This Fire Bamboo Forest is huge, much larger than the one at Yangshan."
Gao Jie laughed, "Yes, not only is the area here huge, but the age of the fire bamboos is older, and the quality is better than that at Yangshan."
"Why is that?" Dong Yan asked curiously.
Gao Jie laughed, "We speculate that Yangshan was probably a development zone, with the fire bamboo cleared before the apocalypse."
Liang Yuan said nothing, internally disagreeing with this speculation.
Given the thriving growth of fire bamboo here, it’s likely due to the presence of refined fire attribute mineral veins within the Lingyun Slope’s mountains.
He had confirmed this long ago.
In fact, in places where the mineral veins are pure, large quantities of mutated mushrooms grow, from which he previously brought back a batch for the plantation to cultivate.
Upon returning this time, he had already seen many households using these mutated mushrooms as lighting equipment.
"Gao Jie, let the team members be cautious about their safety; if there’s any discovery, don’t fight forcefully, signal immediately."
"Understood."
