CHAPTER 220: CHAPTER 195: CHOOSING A CITY SITE! A PECULIAR MAGICAL BEAST

Eventually, all the magical beasts submitted.

Of course, Lin Ke also provided assurance that he would not engage in meaningless interference with their survival.

Just meaningless interference.

As a price, all magical beasts must provide a certain number of species for Lin Ke to choose from.

Choose what?

Livestock, mounts, pets, etc.

The biological resources of the Lava Swamp are abundant!

Many forces in Naseng have long coveted them, but the Elemental Forest is considered the territory of the Holy Life Alliance, the Ocean of Stars and Waves is considered the domain of the Deep Sea Domain, and the Lava Swamp is the territory of the Gula Kingdom.

Coupled with the complex swamp environment of the Lava Swamp, many adventurers and travelers ultimately chose other places instead.

And now, the vast resources of the swamp will completely belong to Azanen!

Lin Ke decided to thoroughly develop this territory.

...

He sat cross-legged on the Phoenix, its wing tips, tail feathers, and head all had red flames floating, looking exceedingly sacred.

Lamiel and Vilune stood atop the head of the Green Water Python, while John, Lolita, and Knicks sat on the broad back of the Bloodthirsty Iron Hoof.

"Fly slower, mainly over flat terrain, just near this river, not too far."

Lin Ke said out loud.

Thus, the flight speed of all the King of Magical Beasts decreased.

And in the perception of all the swamp’s magical beasts, it was as if the sky had changed.

Usually elusive kings of magical beasts, gods, and legends from various clans gathered to fly high in the sky.

Such overwhelming presence was impossible for all magical beasts to ignore, even affecting the balance of the ecosystem to an extent.

A Spotted Water Tiger was about to hunt a Water Grass Bull when they passed by, scaring the Water Grass Bull away.

This Spotted Water Tiger had a litter of cubs that were likely to starve, leading to the number of hunters in this region decreasing by one...

Scenes like this were everywhere.

Lin Ke saw this one with the Spotted Water Tiger and immediately thought of the ecosystem damage, hence he let all the kings of magical beasts retreat, leaving only the Phoenix, Green Water Python, and Bloodthirsty Iron Hoof for transportation.

"Are we there yet? The place you mentioned suitable for my city-building."

Having flown for over two hours, Lin Ke looked down and still saw dense forests.

"Almost there, His Hiness Linke, it’s a vast grassland where the river passes through, the farmland fertile beyond compare, although there are several magical beast clans nearby, naturally they submit to you."

The Phoenix suggested, in a flattering tone: "Would you like to go see it? It’s just an hour away."

"Alright, I understand, take me there, if possible, speed up." Lin Ke also thought that the place mentioned by the Phoenix sounded promising, of course, he wanted to personally inspect it.

City-building has high requirements for topography and terrain, as well as climate conditions, even including water quality.

But for now, the place the Phoenix mentioned sounds good, just...

Just it’s quite far from the habitat of these kings of magical beasts.

Looks like they are quite afraid of being disturbed by Lin Ke!

Lin Ke knew that these kings of magical beasts, though outwardly submissive, dared not deceive Lin Ke, especially with Insomnia Emperor backing him.

But they could hide!

If they couldn’t provoke him, they could evade him!

The central plains originally had a pack of wolves and some other animals.

But without the clans led by the King of Magical Beasts, they couldn’t decide their stay or leave.

After a few hours of flight, Lin Ke finally saw that decent-looking grassland.

This grassland was situated at the outer edge of the swamp center, a river flowing through it, with a small pack of emerald-green wolves frolicking at the edge of the grass.

"His Hiness Linke, these are the Fernwood Golden-eyed Wolves, you see, their pupils are golden, reflecting the ability to make plants sprout, an echo of their bloodline."

The Phoenix eagerly introduced, tilting its wing to give Lin Ke a better view below: "Although they are rare, without formidable members, they have become the lower tier of the swamp, much like Azanen having you ensures it’s not lower-tier in the human world."

The Phoenix offered a little flattery to Lin Ke.

"Azanen has more than just me." Lin Ke didn’t bother turning to observe the wolves below, directly casting a second-level magic "Water Mirror Spell," placing one under the Phoenix’s belly and one in front to watch conveniently.

"Caw!!!"

The Phoenix let out a long cry, overwhelming pressure sweeping below.

The dozen or so Fernwood Golden-eyed Wolves, originally playing and messing around, panicked and prostrated on the ground, trembling at the Phoenix.

The oldest Fernwood Golden-eyed Wolf stood at the forefront, with the adults behind him and pregnant females and recently born cubs at the back.

"Howl..."

The eldest wolf, with long whiskers, stepped forward and knelt, whimpering softly.

The Phoenix, Bloodthirsty Barbarian Bull, and Green Water Python descended.

"Old wolf, submit to your new king." The Bloodthirsty Barbarian Bull descended, proclaiming in a deep and indifferent voice.

The Phoenix glanced at him, wondering why the barbarian bull snatched his lines.

"Howl..." The old wolf looked up in confused dejection, realizing with Lin Ke’s sight, quickly bowing before Lin Ke.

Lin Ke and others jumped off the Phoenix and its companions.

"Your clan’s ability accelerates plant growth?" Lin Ke came forward to the old wolf, examining this magical beast estimated to be around 1.4 meters in height.

"Howl..." The old wolf nodded, being a level ten magical beast capable of understanding the common tongue of Naseng.

It lowered its body, gaze fixed on a clump of small grass, its golden pupils glowed, emitting a force towards the grass.

The grass gleamed brightly, growing rapidly, flowering, and bearing fruit.

Lin Ke squatted down, reached out to take the fruit, squeezed it, the juice bursting out.

Lin Ke stood, wiping the juice on his clothes, then asked, "Do all of you possess this ability? With any plant?"

"Howl..." The old wolf nodded, then shook its head.

"Your Highness, all Fernwood Golden-eyed Wolves have this ability, but with some magical plants, it’s ineffective, primarily due to their level. Their bloodlines are still quite good."

The Phoenix explained by the side, sensing Lin Ke’s desire to subdue these wolves.

Unable to stimulate magical plants?

No matter.

Even if only normal plants can be hastened, it is excellent!

Joy flickered in Lin Ke’s eyes.

Plants hold significance for humans, providing food, shade, paper, tools, oxygen, etc.

These Fernwood Golden-eyed Wolves are perfect farmers and gardeners!

Moreover, though termed as wolves, they resemble herbivores more, teeth without canines, appearing docile and cute.

Domesticate!

Domesticate them!
