Chapter 145 Venus Flytrap and Mace

Krober, who sent out all the soldiers, was not idle either. His intuition told him that there must be a secret on this small green leaf island.

Although he didn't know what it was, he just had this intuition.

Ever since he landed on this green leaf island, he has always felt like he was being watched.

But strangely, he didn't feel any threat, just felt that there was a creature watching them secretly.

Based on experience, this vague sense of peeping means that there is definitely a predator on the island.

It's just that the strength of this predator is not strong, so it gives him a sense of peeping rather than a sense of threat.

Krober guessed that this predator should be a creature living on this green leaf island, or the green leaf island itself.

At present, there is nothing unusual on the edge of the island, but this does not mean that the center of the island is also safe.

Maybe this predator is hiding somewhere in the center of the island, waiting for prey to come to the door.

Although Green Leaf Island is a small island, its area is about the same as Black Feather Island. It will take some time for Krober to explore every corner of it clearly.

Moreover, the Green Leaf Island is a forest terrain, which requires more time to explore than the plains.

So it is a very wise thing to let the soldiers explore the edge area first.

Kroeber waited on the island for an afternoon.

During this period, he carefully observed the ecological environment of the island.

It was found that the most numerous plants on the island were not those big trees, but densely distributed Venus flytraps in the grass.

This grass is just similar to the Venus flytrap in Kroeber's previous life, so Kroeber named it Venus flytrap.

As for whether it catches flies and whether it can be digested, Kroeber has not yet learned about this issue in detail.

Anyway, when Kroeber put his finger on it, the Venus flytrap had hunting behavior.

"Since there are Venus flytraps, it means that there should be insects on this island.

There are no Venus flytraps on the edge of the island. Could it be that they live in the central area? How did these Venus flytraps in the edge survive?"

Kroeber did not expect that the Green Leaf Island, which he did not care much about, looked even weirder than the Scorched Earth Island.

As the sky gradually darkened, the soldiers sent out by Kroeber returned to the ship safely.

After an afternoon of exploration, the soldiers also conducted a preliminary search of the western part of the island.

The result was just as Kroeber expected. No creatures were found in the entire western part of Green Leaf Island, only a large number of plants.

"My lord, I found a strange place."

After returning, one of the soldiers brought Kroeber a brand new intelligence.

"Oh? Mace, tell me!"

Kroeber knew this soldier and even called him familiar.

His name was Mace, and this name was given to him by Kroeber himself to commend Mace for his great contribution before he joined.

He was the first to come and sign up when Kroeber recruited the first batch of new recruits from Amethyst Island.

Because the resistance forces of the Sea People had just been purged, and it was the first time to recruit soldiers, the tribesmen might not even know what it meant to be a soldier.

So Kroeber personally sat in the recruitment office that time to ensure the order of the recruitment site.

The order was guaranteed.

He remembered clearly that the tribesmen of the Sea People looked at him with fear and awe.

But the problem came.

No one was willing to come to the recruitment office to sign up for the army!

Yan was anxious to mobilize the tribesmen at the time, but he was no longer respected by the tribesmen at that time.

So Yan's words did not play any role.

I thought that the recruitment would end in failure, but at that time, a boy who was younger than Krober but skinny walked out of the crowd.

He said something timidly to Krober.

After Yan's translation, Krober knew that the boy was asking if he could have enough food every day if he joined the guards.

Although Krober gave some food to the Sea People tribe at that time.

But those foods were only for healthy tribesmen. The boy was obviously too thin and looked like a marginal person abandoned by the tribe.

Although the Sea People Tribe was more considerate of the old, weak, sick and disabled, it only provided basic food that would not starve them to death. It was still difficult to get enough food.

And Krober also told him very straightforwardly that as long as he joined the guards, he would not only have enough food every day, but also have the opportunity to become a knight.

How could the boy who couldn't even get enough food resist such temptation, so he directly joined Krober's guards.

And Krober also kept his promise and prepared enough food for the boy, and put it directly on the scene of the recruitment office, so that the boy could eat in front of everyone.

I don't know if it was the food that tempted them, or knowing that Krober was not a demon king who only knew how to kill and behead, the tribesmen of the Sea People let down their guard and chose to join Krober's guards.

And that boy was Mace.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the appearance of Mace helped Krober to master the tribesmen faster.

So Krober not only gave him the name of Mace, but also taught him the breathing method of the Radiant Spirit for the apprentice knight stage.

And Metz also gave Krober a big surprise. After a short period of sufficient food supplement, Metz not only became stronger, but also completely got rid of his original sick appearance.

He even became a trainee knight under the casual guidance of Krober.

Although it is relatively simple to get started as a trainee knight, it also proves that Metz has good talent.

Although his body did not have adequate nutritional supplements before, Klober believes that Metz should be able to reach the threshold of an official knight around the age of thirty.

After all, he doesn't have Klober's talent, and he didn't even have enough to eat during his development period, which damaged his potential. It would be great to touch the edge at the age of thirty.

However, according to Krober's calculations, if Metz could eat enough since he was a child, and if he had good nutrition and the support of World of Warcraft meat, he would probably be able to break through to become a formal knight at the age of 25 or 6.

Note that you are breaking through to the official knight, rather than touching the side of the official knight.

But even so, there are not many people under Klober who can reach the threshold of formal knights, and Metz is the youngest and most talented one among them.

Krober has already thought about it. When Mace breaks through to become an official knight, he will officially accept Mace as his follower, and give him a manor and an elf insect as his surname.

This was used to stimulate the enthusiasm of the soldiers in the territory for cultivation.

"Tell me, Metz, what problem did you discover? If the information you provide is valuable, I will also give you a generous reward."

As soon as these words came out, other soldiers turned their envious eyes to Mace.

I can't help but sigh in my heart that the adults really like Metz. It seems that the rumors in the territory that Metz has the potential to become an official knight are not rumors.

"Yes! Sir."

Mace bowed sheepishly. After all, he was still a boy. Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes would definitely make him feel slightly uncomfortable.

"Sir, my life on the island was not good before, and I believe you know that too.

At that time, in order to survive, I often ran into the forest to find some food. Shrub leaves, grass roots, etc. were all good choices for me to fill my stomach.

Out of habit, I also uprooted a few weeds and planned to observe their roots.

But after I pulled it out, I found that the roots of this grass had a strong rancid smell.

And the soil around this plant also smells the same, like the smell of a rotting corpse. "

Upon hearing this, Krober quickly uprooted the plant closest to him and found that, as Mace said, the roots of the plant and the surrounding soil had a pungent rancid smell.

"Damn it, there is indeed something wrong with this island!"
