Chapter 976: The Rock Pillar Farm (2/2)

After all five were transported to the top, Krune took one for his use while the Seamstress retained the rest. They then promised not to interfere with the tasks of each other and headed to their respective locations.

The pillars they were focusing on these tasks for were situated far away from one another. Krune had picked a location where around ten rock pillars were situated closer to one another. They were situated 200 meters from the largest rock pillar.

The Seamstress had picked a similar location. Having been on the landmass for two years, they had significantly expanded their Rope Bush farm, having created enough rope to construct rope bridges to all the pillars they used.

If they were regular mortals, this wouldn't have been possible. But, they had passive abilities to rely on for everything, not to mention they had abilities that complemented one another, boosting their overall progress.

This was another reason the Seamstress hinted to him that they start a family. But all this time, Krune acted obliviously. Then again, the Seamstress was only stating to him out of obligation and at the fact they were mortals now, susceptible to a short life.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have suggested it either. After all, she had children and even grandchildren in the God Realm.

Krune set the eggs in their respective pools, watching the pools be filled to the brim with ocean water. He had picked a rock pillar on the top of which he was growing bone trees, a lot of them, putting the surface with a radius of 30 meters to good use.

Swimming in one of the pools that had a radius of 20 meters and a depth of five meters were a bunch of Motor Fishes, those he had produced numerous offsprings. Since they were fed with the bone tree fruits daily, they had a surplus of energy in their bodies.

This surplus caused them to mate on every occasion, birthing babies at every interval. After two years of this, the number of Motor Fishes under him alone surpassed thirty. Naturally, this number would only continue to increase.

”The pupae have powerful offense using their tongues. Their legs allow them to leap to great heights. Even though they have significant weaknesses, their strengths make it hard to target their weaknesses. And now, I have to force them to focus on this direction while also changing their species, giving them another advantage,” Krune muttered. ”The Motor Fish is the perfect candidate for that. If I fuse them and evolve, I wonder how the end result would turn out to be, especially as a Supreme Monster?”

Krune recalled the suffocating presence exuded by the Checkpoint Turtle, wondering just how much time and effort he had to spend to make the eggs before he reached that point.

After a couple of days, all the eggs successfully hatched. And when they did, they jumped into the pool of water nearby, instinctively heading to its bottom for the coral reef. But when they didn't find the coral reef, the larvae were fully confused.

Having observed their actions using his Sonic Radar, Krune knew what they needed. Though, since the bone tree fruit seemed to be a universal food source, judging based on what he had experienced, Krune diced some bone tree fruits into small bits, small enough for the larvae to feed on them without problems.

As a spiritual chef, dicing the fruits to an almost powder-like state wasn't even an issue. He had collected them in a bowl each, pouring into all the pools one after another. He saw the larvae approach them in confusion as one of them gently ate a piece, realizing that it was healthy.

Soon, all the larvae were eating through the bone tree fruit powder. Upon seeing that, Krune sighed in relief. He then continued to feed them more of the powder at regular intervals.

He had placed four eggs in every pool, and six eggs in the final pool, for a total of seven pools. The first batch of bone tree fruits was made using the blood of the adult monster. Krune had healed it considerably while causing it to swallow the bone tree fruits en masse.

He then extracted its blood at regular intervals, making it drink a lot of the ocean water after each process while stuffing it full with bone tree fruits and some meat rich with the Healing Extract. This way, he was able to extract enough of its blood at regular intervals without killing it.

Days passed in such a fashion as Krune continued to feed them until the larvae grew enough to reach the initial stage as a pupa. As for the first six pools, he continued to feed them the bone tree fruits made using the blood of the adult monster.

As for the final pool with six pupae, he began to feed them the bone tree fruits derived from the Motor Fishes. As time passed, the pupae began to grow fully. Krune had already shifted them to separate pools of their own, big enough for them to live, but that was it.

They couldn't jump since the height wasn't much. Though, as the area was high, they could swim within. But no matter what, they couldn't escape from the sturdy cages that were almost twenty centimeters thick.

They were something he had been creating over the past year using the wood of the Rope Bush. After he had understood the secret behind creating a large enough rope bush that was used to make the fishing rod of a Mutated Monster Gecko, Krune delved in this path, eventually unlocking the secret recipe to grow a rope bush that was worthy enough to be used in the Monster Gecko King's fishing rod.

It was what he grew en masse and used in creating the cages of the pupae. So, even after they reach the status as a King, they still wouldn't be able to break past the defenses. After all, the healing effect of the ocean water also healed all the damage it sustained, creating an unbreakable cage.

Moreover, if it still tried to thrash, Krune controlled them by unleashing a cold beam that caused them to curl up into a ball and remain immobile. And with that, both he and the Seamstress had finally kickstarted their plan to farm Godly Points.
