Chapter 10: The Big Water Monster and the Fire Bird in the Lake

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

On this day, Luo Yu dug for another day. Due to his LV3 mining skills and Action Mania buff, his mining efficiency was comparable to the previous two days.

What made him even happier was that he had dug out four iron ores. Currently, there were 600 units of iron!

In the evening, a light rain began to fall from the sky. After dinner, Luo Yu went to the toilet and strolled on the grassland.

This stroll was not for digestion after dinner, but for gathering berry seeds in the bushes.

There were not only grass on the grassland, but also some other crops. Alice said that her vegetable seeds and broccoli seeds were collected on the grassland.

Luo Yu was not the only one collecting it. Fang Yumeng and the others must be collecting it too.

“I got it!”

Luo Yu found a berry bush with green berries. Although the berries were not ripe, the seeds in the fruit were real.

After putting it away, he continued to search.

The setting sun dragged out Luo Yu’s shadow. In the pattering rain, his back looked a little lonely, but he was determined.

After finding three berry seeds and an immature cabbage on the grassland, Luo Yu prepared to end work and go home.

At this moment, a notification sounded: [A group of migrating Burning Fire Birds passed by the sky above your territory.]

He looked up and saw a group of fiery red birds flying over from afar. After entering the range of the survival base, they lowered their altitude.

There was a lake here, and Luo Yu knew that they were going to hunt for fish. He looked at the area and chatted. As expected, it became lively.

Fang Yumeng said, “These Burning Fire Birds are so beautiful.”

Na Ke’er: “Meow, I want to catch one to eat.”

The Tauren said, “Bird meat tastes bad. It’s not as good as vegetables.”

Luo Yu: “Old Bull, are you a vegetarian?”

Alice said, “Everyone, don’t get too close to the lake. Be careful of the monsters in the lake.”

Luo Yu had just seen Alice’s message when a black shadow suddenly appeared in the middle of the lake. Then, a huge black fish the size of a house jumped out of the lake. With a jump, it jumped five to six meters and ate the two Burning Fire Birds that were trying to fish!

Luo Yu hurriedly controlled the system to record the scene and uploaded it to the regional chat.

Fang Yumeng, Alice, and the others: “Oh my god! Monster! Luo Yu, you’re not dead, are you?!”

Na Ke Er: “I love to eat black fish!”

Previously, Luo Yu had thought of many ways to eliminate the monsters in the lake, but after seeing this huge black fish monster, there was only one way.

Think of a way to kill it from afar!

If one were to fight it upfront, they would be an idiot!

Boom!

The huge black fish fell back into the lake, splashing water all over the sky. The Burning Fire Birds, which had stopped, took off in a panic and began to escape. Just as Luo Yu thought that the bird meat had been ruined, Dumby made a contribution.

It suddenly jumped up from a bush and pounced down on a panicked Burning Fire Bird!

“Dumby, don’t…”

Before Luo Yu could finish his sentence, the Burning Fire Bird’s neck had already been bitten off.

“I wanted to tame it…”

Seeing Dumby running over with the bird in its mouth to claim credit, Luo Yu smiled faintly and stroked its head. “Go pluck all its fur. I’ll roast it for you later.”

“Woof woof!”

Dumby wagged its tail excitedly. A man and a dog were walking back. On the way back, Luo Yu’s sharp eyes noticed two bird eggs not far away!

He ran over and took a look. This egg was even bigger than a goose egg. It should be the eggs of the Burning Fire Birds.

“Did the female Burning Fire Birds lay their eggs in advance due to stress?”

“What a bird!”

A smile appeared on Luo Yu’s face. The Burning Fire Birds here were not like the cute flamingos on Earth. It was about the size of a peacock and could be considered a flying ferocious bird. When tamed, it could help in battle and its scouting ability was also very good.

The key was that it could be used with a critical hit to try his luck. What if a critical hit hatched a little phoenix?

He thought happily and returned to the house with the two bird eggs.

After a while, the rain stopped. Luo Yu chatted with everyone while eating roasted bird legs.

Na Ke’er: “Meow, my sister and I worked together to catch a Burning Fire Bird. It’s ready to eat!”

Luo Yu said, “Work together? Do you have two catgirls?”

Na Ke’er: “Yes, meow! Two? Luo Yu, what do you take us for?”

Luo Yu: “Of course it’s a cute cat girl.”

Na Ke’er: “Yes, meow… If that’s the case, it feels strange…”

Fang Yumeng said, “I was lucky to tame one.”

There was also a photo of a flaming bird after this sentence. It seemed to be quite mighty.

Alice: “Eh? Is Mengxue talented in beast taming?”

Fang Yumeng: “Yes, I’m closer to small animals. My Beast Taming level is at LV3 from the start.”

Everyone: “Wow! You can try to unlock the beast tamer technology. You can help others tame beasts to earn money in the future!”

Beast Tamer and Herbalist were similar to mercenaries. If someone paid you, you could leave the base to help. In essence, they were the same as mercenaries.

Fang Yumeng asked, “Luo Yu, did you gain anything?”

Luo Yu: “I picked up two bird eggs.”

Everyone: “If you don’t know how to incubate eggs, eat them tonight!”

Luo Yu did not know how to incubate eggs, but incubating eggs should be easy. He just had to ensure a suitable temperature around it.

He looked at Dumby, who was chewing on a bird’s claw, and said with a smile, “Dumby, I need you!”

Dumby: “Huh?”

That night, Dumby hugged the two big bird eggs and carefully fell asleep.

For three consecutive days, Luo Yu mined in the mine during the day. The stone-cutting point had already been piled up with rocks as tall as a small mountain, waiting for Luo Yu to cut them.

In the evening, he would stroll around the grassland to look for seeds, new plants and fruits. He did not lack meat now, but vegetables to replenish his vitamins were still in short supply.

This was not his problem alone. Whether it was the regional channel or the world channel, they were all talking about the problem of vegetables. An ordinary vegetable in the auction house had already been bid up to 100 silver.

Of course, some races had little demand for vegetables. For example, the Cat Race, which mainly relied on meat, had never complained about related problems.

The three girls on Fang Yumeng’s side had never complained. Sometimes, they had to believe in the existence of the Luck God. There was actually an apple forest in their survival base. They had only recently discovered it.

As the king of fruits, apples were enough to replenish vitamins. Fang Yumeng and the others could also take the opportunity to sell them at a high price and make a huge profit.

Luo Yu sighed in his heart. Why was he in a bamboo forest and not a fruit forest? Perhaps this was life.

Of course, because he had eaten the Vermillion Dragon Fruit and ginseng previously, there were all kinds of trace elements in his body. Therefore, there was no problem for the time being, but he had to plan ahead.

Crops like tomatoes and berries were far from being ripe. Luo Yu thought about it and could not think of a good solution.

At this point, it would be a waste to use a critical hit to accelerate the ripening of an ordinary crop.
