Chapter Twelve: Dragon Pool, Azure Dragon Rock

  Lin Bei is also very happy now.

  The hunters didn't notice, but Lin Bei did. The whole forest was taken for granted by the hunters as Lin Bei's territory. What does this represent? This represents that the hunters have subconsciously regarded the forest as Lin Bei's territory. Lin Bei thought this idea of the hunters was really good.

  The master of the forest, this name sounds quite high-end. In modern society, every inch of land is precious. When Lin North got married, his parents paid for most of the house, which was only 70 square meters. Lin North always felt a bit indebted to his parents and Gao Rou, but now, it seemed that he had unknowingly acquired a vast amount of land many times larger than before. Okay, although this is without property rights, and can be taken back at any time, Lin North still feels very happy.

  My territory!! Hehe.

  With this mood, he circled around and then walked upstream along the small river.

  The source of water is the most important thing, Lin Bei naturally also understands this very well. Although the water source in the forest is very dangerous, but for him now, the degree of danger is relatively low, this is called having a solid foundation and being self-sufficient. Besides, Lin Bei also needs water.

  The wolf's blood and his own had already started to congeal, Lin Bei jumped into the small river for a dip, then used his tail to vigorously shake off the bloodstains on his body, quickly making himself feel refreshed. Even though he had transformed into a snake, Lin Bei still maintained good hygiene habits.

  While taking a bath, Lin Beishuang took the opportunity to observe the aquatic products in the small river. "Now this river can be considered as my own," Lin Beishuang thought beautifully, and finally found that there were still many things in this small river.

  There were not many fish, but there were plenty of other things, such as small shrimp. These small shrimp could be said to be only about the size of a grain of rice, but they were the most numerous, and almost every clump of grass was their active territory. Seeing these small shrimp, Lin Bei smiled.

  With the small shrimp, will there be fewer big shrimp? In fact, the number of larger shrimp in the small river is not small at all. Lin Bei's senses are now quite keen, and through the ripples on the water, even if these large shrimp hide in deep stone caves, Lin Bei can still sense them. So along the way, Lin Bei's mouth was curved into a happy smile.

  Rivers like this one in the forest, as long as they have aquatic life, are almost never eaten by wild beasts, unless those fish are particularly stupid and must crawl ashore to die. That's why there are really a lot of shellfish here.

  "There are lobsters as big as fists, wow, the lobster shells even have green hair on them, how many years must they have lived?" Lin Bei exclaimed: "Wow, crabs, bigger than fists, three of them, and it's a family too, adding up to at least two catties. Now is autumn, the time when crabs are in season, wow, if we can get them steamed or made into Osmanthus crab, the flavor would be absolutely amazing."

  Lin Beiming thought about these things, his mouth watering, and the number of lobsters and crabs they had encountered on this trip alone was already an eye-opener for him, it was too rich.

  Lin Bei had read some biographies before, which said that ancient people rarely ate aquatic products from rivers, even in times of disaster. Lin Bei didn't quite believe it at the time, but now he thinks it might be true. Of course, it's also possible that this river is now deep in the forest and no one dares to come and fish. Anyway, Lin Bei feels very happy and content.

  Don't look at the river being small, but its length is quite long. Lin Bei climbed upstream and felt that he had already climbed out of 30 or 40 miles before finally reaching the end of the small river.

  The end of the small river was originally two spring eyes, one on the left and one on the right, flowing out from a mountain wall. The left spring eye was about the size of a fist, while the right one was slightly smaller. Due to the long-term impact of the spring water, a small pool with a diameter of twenty-odd meters was formed here. The pool was not deep, with the deepest point being only over four meters. The bottom of the pool was all green stone, without any mud, so the water in the small pool looked exceptionally clear. The weeds by the pool grew extremely lush, adding a few hints of mystery to the pool. Just looking at the environment, this place was quite good.

  Lin Bei flipped over a few times in the water, snakes are generally good swimmers, and Lin Bei himself was also familiar with water, so he splashed around for a bit and felt no difficulty at all, then lifted his head up.

  The mountain wall is not high, only about 100 meters, and is covered with weeds. However, there is a large pagoda tree growing horizontally, which has been standing for at least several hundred years. Some of its roots protrude from the rocks, thicker than Lin Bei's body, firmly fixing itself to the stone wall. The leaves of the pagoda tree are like an umbrella, shading the sky above the pool, making this place even more serene and secluded.

  "Not bad, the environment is very good." Lin Bei nodded his head. In modern times, he had always wanted to find a good place, that kind of good place must have a beautiful environment, with water and mountains, and a few acres of thin fields on the side, and rarely any human footprints. Although Mount Shuangya was a protected area, such places were also hard to come by. He didn't expect that in ancient times, he could easily encounter this kind of place.

  Looking around, Lin Bei saw a large bluestone exposed in the air, its surface had been polished very smooth. He put down his things, crawled over, first wrapped it with his tail, then lifted it up with force, but couldn't lift it up.

  Uh, Lin Bei didn't need to lift it anymore, and after shaking the big bluestone back and forth a few times, he loosened it, then started pushing. The weight of the big bluestone was at least 2,000 catties, which was impossible for Lin Bei's current body to lift, but pushing it was effortless.

  Rumble rumble.

  Lin Bei pushed the large bluestone directly to the edge of the water pool, adjusted its position, and then washed it with water, cleaning off all the dirt on the stone. Only then did he sit down on top of the bluestone and start eating dried meat.

  "Hmm, this pool should have a name." Lin Bei chewed on the dried meat with his mouth, slowly dissolving it with saliva to savor the flavor, thinking about naming in his mind.

  Lin Bei definitely needs to find a place to live, and this place is relatively consistent with Lin Bei's requirements, so he prepares to occupy it. Since occupying it, it naturally needs a name.

  "The water is clear and serene, I live here again. Locals call snakes small dragons, or else it's called Dragon Pool. This stone is green, or maybe I moved it, then it's called Green Dragon Stone. Dragon Pool, Green Dragon Stone, haha."

  Lin Bei also made the best of a bad situation, he had to find something to do, otherwise just complaining would be a waste of time. At the same time, Lin Bei was thinking about building a wooden house here.

  Lin Bei didn't know how other seniors would do if they crossed into animals, but Lin Bei didn't want to live in a cave or on a tree. He wanted to have his own house to shelter from the wind and rain, and also have a place to lick his wounds.

  "After the wooden house is built, it's best to open up a few more acres of land nearby and plant some crops or vegetables. Even if you don't eat them, just looking at them is good. Otherwise, there's nothing to do, and that would drive you crazy."

  Lin Beibei bowed his head, took a mouthful of water from the spring, and let the water flow into his mouth to help him quickly chew open the dried meat. The spring water was slightly sweet, and these dried meats were all made from wild rabbit meat, but he didn't know what method they used to make them. Lin Beibei thought that the flavor was actually quite good, so it wasn't a waste of effort for him to bring them back.

  A package of rabbit meat weighed about five or six catties, Lin Bei ate it all and finally felt no longer hungry. Then a strong drowsiness surged up, Lin Bei rolled up the tree stick and climbed directly to the top of the big locust tree along the stone wall. He found a place with the densest leaves, rolled twice to make sure this locust tree could bear Lin Bei's weight, then he rested his head on the tree stick and fell asleep soundly.
