A little scoundrel

Chapter 329 Developing the 'Mineral Water' Source Again

Netizens were seeing the true appearance of the abyss black hole, the otherworldly passage, up close for the first time. In previous official videos, to reduce the netizens' fear, they had either pixelated or blurred the images.

"I'm suddenly a little curious, if I accidentally fell in, would I die from the fall or be transported to a world of monsters and alien races?"

"Actually... wouldn't the outcome be the same? Even if I were transported there, I'd still be eaten by monsters and die a more gruesome death."

"Haha... it was quite terrifying at first, but after you asked that, I burst out laughing!"

"I heard that our Great Xia has a total of five such passages, guarded by our country's five great military commands?"

"Yes, the reason we've heard so little from the military these years is because they have been silently guarding the otherworldly passages. Everyone has heard of the horrors of monsters, so let's treat our soldiers well!"

"In a peaceful society, I wonder how many soldiers have been injured or sacrificed... just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes."

"No, no! Our Great Xia has more than five, it should be six. The sixth one is at Brother Ye's ranch..."

"Ah? No wonder Brother Ye doesn't let us play at his ranch, it's for our safety!"

...

The more the netizens discussed, the more touched they became. Meanwhile, foreign citizens were filled with emotion. A mere fantasy forest in the West had thrown all of Europe into disarray and fear for their lives.

And Great Xia alone had six of them. Before Bai Ye appeared, how had they managed to survive?

Shock! Awe! Following this series of events, the status of Great Xia in the hearts of people worldwide reached an extremely high level.

"Are the monsters unable to come through this side?" After exploring the passage with his spatial perception, Bai Ye turned to Princess Manjushava.

Manjushava nodded. "This is a passage belonging to our elven race. By agreement, other races are not allowed to cross without permission."

"Are those dandelions, willows, and demon vines also coming from here?"

"Mm."

Initially, Bai Ye had also thought that these more powerful demonic plants were all cultivated by her. However, after cultivating the 'cactus' demonic plant himself, he discovered that this method of infusion and growth had its limitations.

With his SS-rank strength, he could only cultivate one A-rank combat-strength demonic plant, and that was under a one-on-one condition. How could an S-rank elf princess directly cultivate so many demonic plants that were already close to S-rank strength?

Princess Manjushava's answer confirmed Bai Ye's suspicion. Many demonic plants had already crossed over from the Tetes world during this period, and this place had clearly become their base camp.

Bai Ye frowned slightly. "So, you can't achieve this effect in the forests of Great Xia?"

*You just found out!* Princess Manjushava muttered inwardly. But upon seeing Bai Ye's gaze, her calmness was suddenly tinged with a hint of coldness. She trembled inwardly, what an unpredictable fellow...

Princess Manjushava quickly replied, "If you want the forests over there to have as many demonic plants, then I truly cannot achieve that. However..."

"I believe what you value are those demon saps and demon crystals, right?"

"That's not a problem. As long as the forest you desire is near the passage and can provide mana to the forest, I can cultivate them. It's just that, unfortunately, the effect of crystal formation for demon crystals is slightly worse than here. Because the more demonic plants there are, the stronger they are, and the faster they can accelerate the condensation of mana into crystals..."

Bai Ye listened but did not respond, causing Princess Manjushava's heart to sink again.

"If you want to increase the number of demonic plants, I can try my best. However, this would greatly reduce the forest area, and the levels of the demonic plants would be relatively low..."

"No need to reduce the area, try to enlarge it as much as possible," Bai Ye interrupted the elf princess. He had an idea to designate the outer perimeter of the passages in Great Xia as training bases, specifically for 'raising' low-level demonic plants and monsters.

The "Super Soldier Project" had already commenced, and there would be more and more super soldiers in the future. All these individuals would require practical combat experience, and the training bases outside the passages would be an excellent venue.

They could engage in real combat, adventuring, and even obtain opportunities. Over time, this would quickly produce batches of elite warriors!

"I want to fill this passage entrance with water, you don't mind, do you?" Bai Ye suddenly asked again.

Princess Manjushava blinked, unsure what Bai Ye was planning, but she nodded nonetheless. It sounded as if her objection would even stop him?

The netizens, who had been attentively listening to their conversation, were speculating endlessly with every word and expression.

"Holy cow? You can fill it with water? Won't it leak to the other side?"

"Is he trying to flood the passage? But it doesn't seem to be of much use? Didn't many monsters come out of the passage in Brother Ye's ranch as well?"

"I heard that the lake water in Brother Ye's ranch has already been developed into mineral water. Is it possible that Brother Ye wants to develop another water source here?"

"Huh? That's a bit strange. The things Brother Ye usually values are earth-shattering treasures. Could this mineral water be different?"

"Holy cow, holy cow! The more I think about it, the more my heart races with excitement..."

It must be said that this generation of netizens was quite intelligent. What they were speculating about was precisely what Bai Ye intended to do.

Suddenly, Bai Ye, along with Princess Manjushava, teleported to a valley about three kilometers away from the passage entrance.

There was a spring here, connected to an underground river. This underground river was the most abundant in the area.

Bai Ye casually threw a small fire elemental, and with a deafening roar, the spring erupted, creating a crater more than ten meters deep.

(⊙ˍ⊙)!!! The audience was stunned. They had already roughly guessed that Bai Ye intended to dig an underground river, but such a crude method felt a bit too savage!

Boom, boom, boom... kanδん

One small fire elemental after another fell like a barrage. After a series of earth-shattering explosions.

The ground trembled, and a clear, massive water column gushed out from the deep pit.

Seeing this, Princess Manjushava's beautiful eyes slowly widened. This was the first time she had witnessed such a method of drawing water.

"Wh-what are you doing?" Seeing him about to throw another fire elemental, Princess Manjushava anxiously inquired.

Bai Ye glanced at her, feeling she was a bit foolish. But then again, it was understandable, as the Tetes world lacked knowledge of scientific engineering.

"Digging a water channel, how else can we bring water into the passage?" Bai Ye gestured with his hand. "Just create a river."

The netizens couldn't help but laugh. *You call this digging? Isn't it demolition?*

"Oh!" Upon understanding, Manjushava's small face blushed slightly. "Let me do it! There's no need for you to personally handle such matters."

Manjushava eagerly volunteered. She recited a spell, and the roots of dozens of towering trees nearby transformed into feet, climbing out of the ground.

They carefully removed the vegetation between the water hole and the otherworldly passage, then divided their tasks. Every few hundred meters, they dug a water channel, moving at a speed faster than modern mechanized construction crews on Blue Star.

The netizens were greatly impressed.

"Holy cow! Aren't these Ents from Harry Potter? They actually exist!"

"What the hell!! Isn't that from a movie, a sci-fi TV show? Why does it feel like a documentary?"

"Their speed is much faster than large excavators and loaders!"

"If our rural construction teams were replaced by them, we could probably pave highways..."

...

"How is it, Sir?" Manjushava asked with a smile.

Bai Ye nodded slightly. However, he felt it was still a bit slow. If he were to throw a few more fire elementals, the water would have already flowed.

At this moment, in a conference center in an African country, presidents or kings of various African nations were gathered.

Leading them was a peculiar-looking middle-aged man. His upper body was that of a muscular human, but his lower body was a horse's body with four hooves, and he carried a greatsword on his back.

"G-great Sir, if he finishes dealing with Europe, will he come here?" The President of Ethiopia asked nervously beside him.

The other presidents also looked at the middle-aged man.

"Don't worry, he won't attack us," the middle-aged man replied in a deep voice. His confident tone relieved the African presidents.
