When Ling Xue walked about five or six feet into the reed field, she discovered a nest of sea eggs.
Ling Xue counted them and found there were about fifty or sixty of them, each about the size of a bowl. Ling Xue happily put them away.
However, she did not collect all the sea chickens in the end. She left a dozen or so for the sea chickens, waiting for the dozen or so sea chickens that escaped to come back and hatch some baby sea chickens.
By then, they will have sea chickens to eat again.
However, at this time Ling Xue's thoughts changed again.
When Ling Xue first came here to catch sea chickens, she only wanted to catch a few to satisfy her hunger. But now, Ling Xue is thinking about whether she can raise them.
If the breeding is successful, she will have countless sea chickens to eat.
It’s a beautiful thing to think about.
The sea chickens she caught were all alive, so it was not impossible to raise them.
Ling Xue continued to walk deeper into the reed field with this thought in mind.
With a sweep of her mental power, Ling Xue knew clearly where the sea chicken was hiding, so she hardly stopped for most of the night.
But she still left some room. From each nest of sea chickens, Ling Xue kept eight to ten of them and didn't catch them, so as to prevent them from being eaten to extinction.
Of course, Ling Xue did not let go of the sea chicken eggs, and also left about ten for the sea chickens. These were left by Ling Xue for the sea chickens to hatch baby sea chickens.
The sounds of "plop" and "crackle" kept coming, but they were not loud.
As soon as Ling Xue heard it, she knew that the sound was made by Lanling and the others. She didn't know what method they used to catch sea chickens, but it made such a loud noise.
The noise was so loud that the sea chickens on their side might have been scared away. With this method, there was no telling how many they could catch.
Ling Xue still used her own method to quietly catch sea chickens with stone beads. Her harvest was still very good. As long as she found one, she could catch it.
Of course, those that Ling Xue let go on her own initiative do not count.
Gradually, Ling Xue suddenly found that the number of sea chickens she encountered suddenly increased.
Maybe they were scared by Lanling. The sea chickens didn't know that if they stayed in Lanling and didn't escape, they might still survive. If they ran here, they would only be caught by Ling Xue.
The sea chickens that Ling Xue had caught had piled up into a mountain of sacks. She was planning to stop, as she couldn't catch them all at once!
Ling Xue walked out of the reed field and headed towards Lanling. She didn't know what the situation was like there.
When Ling Xue arrived, Lan Ling was using a net to catch a sea chicken in the reed field. He tried several times but failed to catch it. It seems that this sea chicken is quite clever.
Ling Xue threw the stone bead in her hand, and the sea chicken fell to the ground.
Lan Ling looked up and found Ling Xue standing in front of her, smiling at her.
"Why are you here? Don't you plan to continue catching?"
Ling Xue smiled and said to Lan Ling, "That's enough. We've caught quite a few already."
"What? I only caught a dozen or so, which is far from enough!" Lanling was a little dissatisfied. She wanted to continue catching sea chickens.
Ling Xue didn't force her. If she wanted to continue catching sea chickens, then she could do it. She didn't care.
However, Ling Xue wanted to send these sea chickens back first.
She didn't do it herself, but contacted a logistics clerk and asked him to bring someone to take the sea chicken back.
She would also try to raise it. Maybe in the future their fortress would have an endless supply of sea chickens to eat!
The clerk came quickly, and Ling Xue gave them some instructions and let them go back.
