Chapter 29 – Blood Red as Blood

—

After dealing with the cursed sound tadpole, the young lady turned her gaze, focusing on the remaining two extraordinary demonic beasts.

One was a massive stone turtle with a red rock pillar on its back, resembling flowing magma inside, emitting a dark crimson glow at its base.

At this moment, this molten rock turtle was trembling on the ground, too afraid to breathe loudly. Its head rested on the ground, not daring to move.

The other one resembled a human in appearance, a naturally born forest fairy. She had butterfly-like wings behind her back, and her body was only half the height of a person. Her entire body emitted a faint green light, with gentle breezes swirling around her, and her emerald-green hair fell like glowing fireflies, constantly shedding particles of light.

This natural sequence 5, the vine fairy, was the least hostile demonic beast. Her intelligence was roughly equivalent to that of a 12-year-old child, and she looked up to Lolan Hill with admiration.

Fairy creatures were parentless and entirely female, almost all born in natural forests. Although rare, they were exceptionally skilled at hiding and had immense potential. As long as the forest remained undisturbed, their strength would gradually increase until they became a fairy queen.

In the eyes of this little fairy, Lolan Hill was akin to a living fairy queen, her pure and unadulterated aura deeply captivating her.

If the young lady hadn’t indicated otherwise, she would have already rushed over.

After this battle, the demonic beasts in Tixilan Mountains expressed their submission, and no longer dared to attack the rabbits in the mountain area. Furthermore, any new demonic beasts that migrated would be disciplined by these elders, warned about various rules: no attacking rabbits, no damaging crops, no destroying roads, and if a rabbit faced difficulties, they must offer assistance.

Under Lolan Hill’s command, numerous hills were developed. First, the trees on the mountains were cut down and the soil prepared to build terraces. Then, water-controlling demonic beasts were summoned to continuously irrigate from top to bottom, softening the soil and increasing its fertility.

When there weren’t enough laborers for plowing, several giant rhinos with moss-covered hides were called upon. These enormous rhinos used their horns as natural plows, making the work very convenient.

After finishing their tasks, rabbits would prepare many carrots for these rhinos, which they enjoyed greatly. This gradually made them fond of this cooperative arrangement. It saved them a lot of time searching for food, and plowing the fields was effortless for them.

Not just rice fields, but to diversify food sources, Lolan Hill also opened up many orchards in the mountain area. These were improved varieties of [Bronze Rank], already reaching the limit without relying on mana. [Silver Rank] and above crops required a sufficient mana environment to grow.

The fruit trees included peaches, oranges, plums, lemons, guavas, figs, olives, and more.

Vine fruits such as watermelons, grapes, and tomatoes were also planted.

After constant adjustments by Lolan Hill, these fruits had astonishing quality and possessed certain extraordinary attributes. To prevent wild beasts from stealing, specialized patrols were organized to guard the orchards daily, preventing other animals from eating the fruits.

These fruits could also be exchanged with the demonic beasts in the forest for goods or payment.

These fruits were much tastier than meat, not only as food but also beneficial for enhancing one’s strength.

[Special Peaches (Bronze Rank)] – Sweet and juicy, loved by everyone, with excellent sleep-inducing properties, allowing quick sleep even during the day.

[Special Lemons (Bronze Rank)] – Extremely refreshing, invigorating the mind and stimulating internal power.

[Special Watermelons (Bronze Rank)] – Refreshingly sweet, calming the mind and promoting serenity.

Other non-extraordinary crops like cotton, flax, and bamboo were also cultivated.

When harvest season came, the decapitating birds helped gather wheat and rice.

Flocks of blue-winged decapitating birds swooped down like bombers, their hard feathers cutting through the fields like scythes, harvesting the golden wheat. After the rabbits collected the grains, the scattered rice and wheat stalks became their food.

After six months of hard work, agriculture in Tixilan Mountains finally stabilized. Lolan Hill could finally take some time to do other things.

Recently, she felt increasingly tired, still feeling drowsy even after sleeping for 15 hours every day.

This month, she was teaching cultural courses to some rabbit-eared students, accelerating the foundation of education. First, she selected a few smart, flexible-thinking rabbits to impart knowledge, followed by important moral education classes.

No matter how big or small an organization, it needed its core ideology and theory as principles and goals. This was extremely important, and establishing three key viewpoints was crucial.

Everything else could be learned through inheritance gems, but she personally taught these courses to instill iron-clad will and thoughts into this timid and weak race.

Actually, rabbits were diligent, with their only weakness being timidity and cowardice. Unless pushed to the brink, they would rather avoid conflict.

The village she saved was a rare exception because the old village chief’s experiences in his youth had freed him from the typical timid nature of his kind.

Under his leadership, the villagers of this village were braver than those in other villages, while others were not so fortunate.

The current goal was to train a batch of teachers who would then establish schools in various villages, forming a basic educational system.

“Does anyone remember how the first human empire, the Crimson Empire, was established?”

“I know, teacher.”

“Good, you can answer,” Lolan Hill said, letting her stand up to respond.

A young rabbit stood up, answering the question nervously.

In the early days of the first era of the Ivar World, humans were not highly regarded and were even considered quite lowly. At that time, the Western Continent was ruled by five major powers: three elven kingdoms, the Beastman’s Fanged Empire, and the Ogre’s Stone Axe Kingdom.

Silver Elves, Forest Elves, and Ice Elves each established powerful nations around the World Tree. The southern and central plains near the Sighing Mountains were occupied by the Fanged Empire, while the northern highlands and mountain ridges belonged to the Ogres.

Beastmen and Ogres were naturally stronger than humans and had many original and war sequences of strong individuals.

During bountiful years, things were manageable, but during lean years, Beastmen and Ogres would raid humans, capturing them for food. This was a particularly bloody and cruel era.

Human physical strength was far inferior to these Beastmen and Ogres, and due to the scarcity of strong individuals and frequent disruptions in heritage, resources were also extremely limited. They couldn’t resist other races’ invasions and could only survive by sheer endurance.

It wasn’t until demons appeared that things began to change.

To survive, humans stole power from the demons. Thus, the first batch of demon sequence extraordinary beings emerged among humans, known as the Bloodline, derided by other races as vampires.

Demon sequence magic wasn’t designed with humans in mind, causing significant conflicts with human bodies. Many skills required consuming blood, and using extraordinary magic was extremely painful, akin to torture, inflicting great mental torment.

Under both physical and mental duress, early demon sequence humans rarely lived past 30, either dying or going mad.

Despite its flaws, countless humans began practicing this power because it was their only choice. Without it, they might not even live to see 30.

They chose to fight and die rather than be helplessly placed on the menu of other races.

The existence of these people finally gave humans the strength to resist other races. Scattered humans slowly gathered, building the first human nation through madness and slaughter—the Crimson Empire.

Blood red, reborn from death.
