Chapter 17: The Contribution of the Wild Boar Group

  Lin Beibei carefully made his way down the valley, inching forward with each step, using his tail to test whether the ground ahead was mud or bird droppings. If he really couldn't make it through, Lin Beibei would directly climb up the stone wall, relying on the force of the grapevine. Being so cautious, he didn't end up in a sorry state like the first time.

  The valley was not big to begin with, so although the speed was a bit slow, it quickly entered the inner circle. There were more grapevines here, thicker and with thicker leaves, like a green carpet. Lin Bei even felt that he could roll around on top of it without worrying about falling off. So he started looking for something to eat with ease. Lin Bei wanted to see if there were some grapes that looked familiar here.

  Although they are all the fruits of the same tree, the time for them to mature is not the same. The ones that mature faster can even be a month earlier than others. Lin Bei just wanted to see if there were any grapes left behind, but after looking around, he didn't find any grapes, instead, he saw many bird eggs in a nest.

  Various bird calls echoed in the sky above Lin Bei, but no birds dared to fly down and fight with Lin Bei for the sake of protecting their offspring. The bird flock was made up of very gentle birds, all of which were timid and small-hearted, and although they seemed to be a large and intimidating group, they could only scare away some foolish and unwise predators, while smarter ones would not be intimidated, such as Lin Bei.

  When he saw the bird's egg, Lin Bei's eyes lit up.

  Eating raw bird eggs is not as resistant as eating raw meat and blood, after all, Lin Bei had a record of drinking raw egg cocktails in the bar before, according to his colleagues, it's good for virility. Later, Lin Bei checked the information and found that the saying about virility was nonsense, but he did see many people having the habit of eating a raw egg every morning.

  "If there's no fruit, then eating raw bird eggs is a good alternative."

  Lin Bei looked at these bird eggs, there were a lot of them, because there were many bird nests here. Even if only one nest out of ten had eggs, the number of bird eggs would be enough for Lin Bei to eat for several meals, and if he ate frugally, the number of meals could be increased even more.

  "Even if I can only eat two or three meals, with a snake's endurance, nine days will pass. Hmm, that's settled then. Next time we trade with those hunters, it won't be like yesterday. It would be best to trade for some fire-starting tools too, so I can roast something to eat."

  Most wild animals are afraid of fire, but Lin Bei is obviously not. There is plenty of wood in the forest, as long as he keeps a good fire going, Lin Bei can continue to roast meat for food. In the past, Lin Bei thought that fruit was the easiest to find in the forest, but now he thinks that meat is actually the most abundant.

  With food, Lin Bei was no longer anxious and strolled around the valley as if patrolling his territory. Finally, he poked his head under the grapevine to look at the clusters of grapes hanging below.

  There are many birds here, and the existence of bird droppings has brought a lot of fertilizer. Insects cannot grow on grapevines, so as a result, grapes grow exceptionally well, hanging down like pearls and agate, looking very tempting. Unfortunately, Lin Bei found that many grapes had already been pecked by birds.

  Birds are also gourmets, they absolutely won't eat those unripe grapes, only picking up the ripe ones and flying away, unless Lin Bei stays here all the time, otherwise it's impossible to get a taste of the ripe grapes.

  Because he wasn't hungry, Lin Bei didn't eat the bird egg at this time. Instead, he carefully retreated and went out of the valley, seeing that the birds had returned to their nests one after another, apparently not leaving anymore.

  "This valley has so many birds, let's call it Bird Valley." Lin Bei casually gave it another name. Then, Lin Bei looked at the bird droppings on the ground of Bird Valley with a thoughtful expression.

  Although bird droppings are smelly and dirty, if they can be utilized, they are actually quite useful. Lin Bei thought of biogas. In this ancient era, if he could produce biogas, it would be considered a pioneering invention. More importantly, the effect of biogas is great, and it's extremely convenient to use. Lin Bei currently has no hands or feet, so for him, the easier something is to use, the better.

  "If there is a chance, I will make the biogas pool happen." Lin Bei made up his mind.

  But for a snake to get all this out, it's really quite difficult. The technical content of the biogas pool is not high, but the biogas pool needs to be extremely closed. In modern times, using cement can easily create a pool, but in ancient times, it requires top-notch craftsmanship. This is not something that can be formed by simply digging a hole.

  "It's still necessary to communicate more with humans and make them understand what I mean, it's a long and difficult road ahead."

  Lin Bei memorized the location of Bird Valley in his mind and then continued to patrol. Since Lin Bei considered this place as his own territory, he must be clear about what was in his territory.

  However, on the first day, Lin Bei only discovered Niao Gu except that there was nothing else worth seeing. He returned to the willow tree on Longtan and rested for a night. On the second day, Lin Bei continued his journey and found the trail of a wild boar group.

  The group of wild boars did not go to Longtan to drink water that evening, and Lin Bei thought those guys had left, but it seemed they didn't leave far.

  This location is in a forest about sixty miles southeast of Longtan, and it's also a valley. The north of the forest heard wailing sounds before entering the valley to take a look, and after taking a look, I really found something incredible.

  There should be a water source here, because the land looks very muddy, but it didn't rain last night. A group of wild boars are rolling in the mud and eating a plant with shield-like leaves, long and thick stalks, green and oily, reaching 2-3 meters high. Lin Bei is certain that these plants are taro.

  Taro is generally called water taro, it usually likes to grow in rice fields because it needs a lot of water. Its tuber, also known as taro head, has a rich nutritional value. The taros here have been growing for years and were dug up by wild boars, almost every one of them was as big as a fist, some were even as big as a watermelon. There were many taros and many wild boars. When Lin Bei came, the taros had already been dug up by the wild boars, leaving them scattered all over the place, which made Lin Bei feel heartbroken.

  Needless to say, Lin Bei directly charged into the valley, his stick waving continuously as he stood upright, intimidating these wild boars. However, this time Lin Bei did not go on a killing spree because he thought that these wild boars were still quite useful.

  Wild boars love to dig and eat from the ground, they are born with the ability to find some foods that are deep underground. Lin Bei now feels sharp but also admits that he is not as good as them in this aspect. Lin Bei hopes to keep them, who knows what else they might discover in the future? For example, sweet potatoes or potatoes.

  Although these things are said to have been introduced from abroad, Lin Bei firmly believes that ancient China also had such things in the past. It's just that due to various reasons, they didn't spread widely. Now that Lin Bei has returned to ancient times, it's exactly the right time to verify this.

  The wild boars were quite unfortunate, the night before last they went to the Shui Tan and were chased away by Lin Bei. With great difficulty, they found a muddy pit to roll around in, but again encountered Lin Bei's driving force. These wild boars were so angry that they panted heavily, if it was the first time, they might not have remembered Lin Bei, this giant python, but the second time, Lin Bei must have been remembered by these wild boars, he is a jinx.

  No matter how unwilling the wild boar group was, they were still driven out by Lin Bei. What can be done? Who let the wild boar group not unite to resist Lin Bei? When encountering Lin Bei, it can only be said that their fate is bad.
