Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System

Chapter 62: Heaven-Sent Fortune


Food is not exactly scarce in the swamp, but in the wilderness, it seems a bit insufficient.

Anyone who has raised pigs should know what it means for a pig to grow 600 kilograms in three months, or 90 days.

This means it can gain 6.6 kilograms of meat every day!

Damn, every time you wake up, the pigs in your pen have gained another 6.6 kilograms.

You can't finish eating them, there's just too much...

Currently, the food in Weilu City is quite limited, with pitifully low stock, and the only meat available is fish.

If we can raise three-tailed pigs, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance our self-sufficiency in food.

More importantly... this is a magic world!

Raising pigs is not just for food.

The Flesh Butcher, a divine life, requires flesh and blood for nourishment; Wetland Lizard-men can also gain power and evolve from the essence of life in corpses...

Perhaps for ordinary people, these three-tailed pigs have value, but they're not crucial.

But in Lear's eyes, they are a strategic resource.

The strength of a territory not only depends on strong military power but also requires sufficient logistical support.

Wars are always about economics and logistics.

Seeing his seriousness, the Two-headed Giant Chief immediately gave it importance.

"Master, we discovered the three-tailed pigs by chance in a pit. At first, we didn't pay much attention, thinking they just had a few more tails compared to regular pigs."

"Later, we found that they could consume a vast amount of food every day... and their growth speed was astonishing."

"Ordinary pigs were not yet 50 kilograms, while these had already grown to three or four hundred kilograms."

"And they're not picky eaters at all; as long as you give them wild grass, they will gain weight..."

He said this with a hint of bitterness.

"But the Broken Star Plane is so barren, there's not even much grass... so we can only barely manage to have a meal of meat every month."

Lear said excitedly.

"Are the three-tailed pigs easy to breed?"

The Two-headed Giant Chief had a somewhat strange expression.

"As long as there's enough food, they can give birth to over ten piglets at a time, and they can have a litter every four months!"

More births, faster growth, carefree eating...

Lear's eyes grew increasingly bright.

No wonder the major powers of the Main Plane covet sub-planes so much; any appearance of a sub-plane in legends leads to fierce battles.

These sub-planes are unexplored treasures.

He had never heard of livestock being able to grow so fast.

And the feeding cost is so low...

This is truly a chosen treasure, right?

"Where is that spatial rift? If we enter it now, can we get the three-tailed pigs?"

The Two-headed Giant Chief replied solemnly.

"Master, the spatial rift is not far from our base, but if you want the three-tailed pigs, there's no need to enter the Broken Star Plane... I took a few with me when I escaped."

Lear paused, his expression a bit odd.

Weren't you escaping from being hunted?

Who flees with pigs?

It feels like a real eye-opener; this fantasy world doesn't follow any logic, does it?

After a moment of silence, he hesitated and asked.

"Did you take any other items like Dragon Egg Divine Artifacts when you escaped?"

The Two-headed Giant Chief's ugly face twitched, and his eyes held a bit of resentment.

If we had such items, would we need to flee...

Lear waved his hand, unable to contain his urgency.

"Let's go, come with me to bring back the three-tailed pigs."

The Two-headed Giant Chief nodded with a bitter smile.

He's never seen someone so eager to catch pigs...

By now it was already four in the afternoon. Lear didn't delay and set off immediately with five squads of Wetland Lizardman Warriors.

These were to herd the pigs, the real combat strength lay in the swarm of over ten thousand Mire Wasps buzzing overhead.

These ferocious and ruthless insects, once formed in scale, are a calamity that could make anyone tremble!

After enslaving the Mire Queen Bee, Lear also gained control over the Mire Wasp swarm.

He could issue simple commands like advance, retreat, and be on guard...

It's no wonder the soul couldn't bear more power.

It seemed like he enslaved only one Mire Queen Bee, but in fact, he controlled the entire swarm.

The pace was quick, as the swamp monsters along this path had already been cleared out, with no obstacles encountered.

They reached the gathering place of the Two-headed Ogres before sunset.

Having been there once for reconnaissance, returning this time felt different.

This gathering place was built on a dry and hard surface, surrounded by a dozen rough structures made of wood and stone, exuding a primitive sense.

It was now deserted, with only some simple living tools haphazardly piled up.

The Two-headed Giant Chief looked at his territory, feeling inexplicably heartbroken.

Although Weilu City had only recently been established in the swamp, under the master's governance, a grand structure of more than ten meters high built entirely of vines had been erected.

And hundreds of people had been enslaved to work for Weilu City! They even commanded a swarm like a natural disaster!

And after managing the territory for so long, he only managed to gather this little bit of broken stuff.

Comparison can lead to death.

Feeling deeply ashamed in his heart.

He took a deep breath and pointed to the tall grass behind the house.

"Master, we have penned the three-tailed pigs in the back..."

Lear nodded slightly and led the group forward with big strides.

The Mire Wasps in the sky have already included the entire area in their monitoring range, so there's no need to worry about safety.

Walking through the rough and primitive wooden and stone houses, a path about one meter wide lies ahead in the grass, the ground trampled smooth.

Following the trail for thirty or forty meters, a circular pig pen made of firewood appeared before their eyes.

A stench of fermented manure rushed in, stinging the eyes slightly.

Lear furrowed his brow slightly, magic power surged, and only after dispersing the odor did his expression look somewhat better.

He curiously glanced around, the pig pen is about thirty meters in diameter, inside are twenty incredibly robust black pigs.

Covered all over in dirt, forming a thick mud armor.

Uniformly shoulder height over 1.5 meters, and body length at least 3.5 meters.

Standing on the ground, like a wall of meat, very visually striking.

Three-tailed Pig

Magic Life

[Level]: 1 Star

[Racial Talent]: 1. Super digestion, three-tailed pigs can extract all nutrients required by the body from anything they eat, anything indigestible is quickly expelled from the body.

2. Hunger, three-tailed pigs don't feel full, they can keep eating continuously.

[Evaluation]: If not needing rest, they can eat for a whole year!

Goodness, these three-tailed pigs are actually magical beings?

Lear's eyes lit up.

These pigs don't have any skills, but like the Swamp Boggart, they possess two racial talents.

It's no wonder the Two-headed Ogre Chieftain said they could grow to 600 kilograms in three months.

These two talents, purely born to eat!

One strong digestion, one never hungry.

If they don't grow fat, who would?

If the three-tailed pigs were placed on Earth, the price of pork would probably sell for three bucks a pound...

But this is exactly what he needs!

"Haggs, bring people to drive all the three-tailed pigs back to Weilu City."

"We need to establish a large pig farm in the future!"

He already has a fish pond, now adding a pig farm... Hahaha, the future is promising!

Haggs the hero wrinkled his nose, endured the stench, entered, and began driving the three-tailed pigs with Wetland Lizard-men.

It's really hard for these warriors, they're skilled in battlefield combat, but driving pigs is something they've never done.

Luckily, the gluttonous creatures are quite docile, they easily trotted off when driven.

When the three-tailed pigs left, looking at the empty pig pen, Lear seemed to think of something, curiously asked.

"Aite, why haven't I seen any three-tailed piglets?"

The Two-headed Ogre Chieftain quickly replied.

"Master, recently a swarm of terrifying giant mosquitoes passed through, killed and took away all the piglets... And also killed three of our adult pigs."

Speaking with some heartache.

These pigs were all raised bit by bit!

Giant mosquitoes?

Lear suddenly thought of the bloodthirsty mosquitoes hunting giant pythons he discovered earlier when looking for Swamp Boggart.

Are they the same group?!

Instinctively, he glanced up at the sky blocked by Mire Wasps.

How do those bloodthirsty mosquitoes compare to his controlled slaughter machines?

"Do you know where those giant mosquitoes are?"

The Two-headed Ogre Chieftain pointed in a direction.

"About 10 kilometers ahead from this location, there's an area with unique vine plants, those mosquitoes built nests inside, all mosquitoes."

Speaking with some fear.

"At that time when I tracked and went forward, I was almost detected by them..."

"The leader of those giant mosquitoes — the Mosquito Queen, is a powerful hero, her level has reached level 13..."

Mosquito Queen?

This title aroused a strong curiosity in his heart.

But looking at the already dim sky, he still suppressed the urge to find out.

Taking a deep breath, he spoke gently.

"Go back and tell me more later... For now, let's drive the three-tailed pigs back."

Today's gains are too great and need to be properly digested.

In addition, it's already August 14th... At midnight today, August 15th is the time when the intelligence system refreshes.

"Let's return!"
