Chapter 545: Chapter 447: Artificial River Stretching a Thousand Miles
Linglong arrived outside the city with a bewildered look, utterly shocked by the scene before her.
This is truly a once-in-a-lifeti sight!
Each Spirit Fish is at least half a ter long, the smaller ones weigh dozens of pounds, and the larger ones weigh over a hundred pounds.
They descend from the sky, creating large pits with loud thuds.
Thankfully, it’s outside the city. If they fell among people, who knows how many would suffer this ’natural disaster’.
"Lord Linglong is here, go ask her what’s happening."
"Such big fish falling from the sky, it’s truly unbelievable."
"I’ve lived so long, and it’s the first ti I’ve seen such big fish."
...
Indeed!
Even well-traveled Linglong was at a loss for words at this mont.
She quickly sought soone to identify them, only then did she realize these were Spirit Fish, a specialty of the Spirit Realm.
"Could it be the Crown Prince went to the Spirit Realm?"
"Besides him, no one else would have such grand asures."
"But with so many fish, how should we handle them?"
Linglong understood the ins and outs, looking at the endless Spirit Fish falling down, feeling troubled.
She could roughly guess how Zhao Yi thought. The New World was in its infancy, not only needing infrastructure but also various species to be incorporated.
If it was anything else, it might be easier, but with so many Spirit Fish, there were no suitable lakes nearby.
Could they make dried fish?
Linglong, just thinking about it, imdiately shook her head like a rattle.
The Crown Prince went through so much effort to find the Spirit Fish, if she really did that, she might never be able to show her face to him again.
Soone beside her suggested: "Lord Linglong, why not transport these Spirit Fish to the distant sea, there it is endless, even more Spirit Fish can find a place to live, and moreover, Spirit Fish have strong life force, they can live quite a long ti even without water."
Linglong shook her head, although there is an ocean thousands of miles away.
But once they are put in, catching them later will be troubleso.
The Crown Prince obviously wants these Spirit Fish to be the people’s at supply, doing so would be contrary to his intentions.
At this mont.
Chief Buri from the Behemoth Race ca running over, seeing the Spirit Fish raining down from afar, his eyes nearly bulged out, drool unconsciously flowed down.
"Am I dreaming? This seems to be Spirit Fish?"
"Oh my god, I wish I could slap Karlo Shaman hard to wake myself up."
As the chief, Buri always maintained a composed deanor, but after coming to the New World, his past image vanished, everywhere he went, he appeared inexperienced, constantly awed to the point of speechlessness.
Moreover, as the chief, he had so knowledge.
He once saw these Spirit Fish incidentally, that was in the Half-Beastman World, he still rembers at the banquet of the Beast God, a Spirit Fish was placed in front of the high and mighty Beast God, at that ti his mouth watered at midnight.
But now, what is he seeing?
These Spirit Fish unendingly falling from the sky, Lord Linglong over there actually troubled by it.
For Buri, who just recently got to eat his fill, what’s there to be conflicted about? Who could say no to a feast?
Karlo Shaman chose to ignore what Chief Buri said, after filling his stomach these days, he truly considered himself a citizen of the New World, although he hadn’t received his ID yet, what does that matter, the city walls are being built faster than imagined, obtaining an ID is just a matter of ti.
Seeing Lord Linglong’s expression, he ran over with a grin.
"My lord, perhaps the Behemoth Race can be at your service."
Linglong snapped back to reality, looking up at him: "You have a solution?"
Seeing her speak with such difficulty, Karlo slowly crouched down, pondering for a mont.
As the shaman of the tribe, he indeed possessed so wisdom, thinking that the Spirit Fish appearing out of nowhere must be the work of soone superior.
Such a person wouldn’t casually put Spirit Fish in the New World.
His gaze scanned around, finally landing on the people.
Noting their curious expressions and frail bodies, Karlo Shaman instantly understood.
It must have been prepared for them.
Only these natives could earn such favor.
So, he said, "Lord Linglong, are you planning to raise these Spirit Fish?"
Linglong nodded: "Yes, the food among the people is enough, having Spirit Fish to enhance the flavor must be very welco, moreover, there are many young children who need fish at to supplent more nutrients."
"I do want to raise them, it’s just that there are no rivers or lakes nearby, although there is a Spirit Spring near the capital, it’s a place for everyone to take baths, surely we can’t use bath water to raise Spirit Fish?"
"But if transported to the sea, who knows how many can be caught later."
Karlo Shaman has the eleventh step strength, his vision is much farther than common people’s.
Moreover, he is tall, standing straight over tens of ters, resembling a hill.
He looked afar, seeing a boundless sea surface, shimring and golden, after noting its distance from the capital, he slapped his head with a rumbling sound, decisively said: "My lord, perhaps we can build an artificial river, connecting the capital to the sea, setting up nets along the way, do you think it’s feasible?"
Artificial river?
Linglong montarily didn’t react, knowing the distance from here to the sea is at least over a thousand miles, not to ntion, the manpower is already a big issue.
Even with the Spirit Fish’s strong life force, can they wait that long?
Building an artificial river could take a few years, right?
Karlo Shaman saw her confusion, couldn’t help but volunteer: "My lord, perhaps the Behemoth Race is willing to serve you, now that the city walls are about to be completed, many tribesn have nothing to do, as citizens of the New World, how can we rest at this ti."
He said, rubbing his chin, then continued: "If you think it’s feasible, I’m willing to convince the tribesn of the Behemoth Race, to have them dig the river day and night, you know with hundreds of tribesn working together, the speed is unimaginably fast."
"Of course, you should give those little guys so benefits, maybe Spirit Fish is a good choice."
Linglong, hearing this, nodded with a smile.
What a nice surprise!
"Then go ahead, there are surely enough Spirit Fish for you to eat, how about ten, can’t let you work on an empty stomach."
Beside, Chief Buri trembled all over, never expected they could ever eat such a delicacy as Spirit Fish, which before was a delight only for the Beast God.
"Of course, it’s okay, Lord Linglong rest assured, as long as the river is completed and you keep your promise, giving us ten, I guarantee no Behemoth will slack off."
Karlo Shaman looked exasperated at him, ten Spirit Fish seem like a lot, but compared to the Behemoth’s appetite, they are not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth, rely a taste, with so many Spirit Fish here, even millions, maybe by asking Lord Linglong, more would be given.
Linglong laughed and said: "Who said it’s only ten, I ant ten every day, and after the river is completed, as long as you don’t overfish the Spirit Fish, you can eat from the river at your will."
Upon hearing this, Chief Buri and Karlo Shaman howled and roared into the distance.
"Behemoth kids, get up and get to work!"
