The merchant group left happily, but our main character fell into deep thought for a few days.
After thinking it through, our protagonist made an important decision, which was to integrate all the sandworms in the desert. The main character did this not because he suddenly had some ambition, but because he really wanted to take on the responsibility of being the King of Sandworms. After thinking about it for the past few days, the main character felt that if this continued, the entire desert would be in trouble.
The ecology referred to the living state of certain organisms in the natural environment. The ecosystem referred to the unified whole formed by all biological and non-biological factors in a certain space. In our protagonist's mind, the ecological environment is the entire desert, and the ecology refers to the living state formed by the interaction between humans and sandworms.
Sandworms were the absolute overlords of the desert. In the desert, adult sandworms that were about five meters tall could easily wipe out a human team of less than a hundred people. If they encountered danger while attacking humans, as long as they did not die, they would release a special spiritual wave to summon sandworms within a few hundred kilometers to hunt together--or revenge.
Sandworms had a long lifespan, about a few hundred years. They had no natural enemies, and the only things that could cause them to die abnormally were hunger and fights between their own kind. Perhaps there were powerful individuals among humans or other creatures that could kill sandworms, but these powerful individuals rarely came to the desert. Sandworms could also rely on their ability to quickly burrow underground to avoid danger.
If one wanted to limit the number of a population, other than natural enemies and food, the remaining factor was the reproduction rate. It could be said that sandworms were very fertile. Ordinary adult sandworms were hermaphrodites. By instinct, they would reproduce as long as there was a chance. However, there were very few human females in the desert, so the number of sandworms did not flood.
Our protagonist knew that he had to change all of this. Otherwise, not only would it hinder the development of the population, but it would also hinder the development of the desert. It was not a big deal to hinder the development of the population. At worst, the sandworms would never leave the desert. However, if they hindered the development of such a large area in the desert, they would eventually touch the interests of some powerful existences. At that time, the population would suffer a great loss at the very least, and the most serious might even be destroyed!
Our protagonist began to move, but he didn't immediately summon the sandworms. Instead, he found a few unlucky ones to start experimenting. The protagonist had an idea, which was to maintain the population through long-term sleep while reducing consumption. Needless to say, the reason for the reduction in consumption was to maintain the population. The number was a necessary condition for the development and continuation of a population. In addition, the protagonist had to carry out a plan, and sufficient population was also an important weight in this plan.
The Desert of Death was extremely huge. In order to subdue all the insects in the desert, the protagonist spent decades traveling through the entire desert. When the protagonist encountered sandworms, he would use his spiritual power to suppress them until they surrendered. Then, the protagonist would let these surrendered sandworms go to the center of the desert. It was the largest of the few rocky canyons in the desert. That was the place where the protagonist prepared the sandworms to sleep.
Nearly 10,000 sandworms. This was the final number of sandworms in the valley of the sand after the protagonist traveled through the desert, which was the valley chosen by the protagonist. However, this was definitely not the total number of sandworms in the desert. However, it did not matter. Even if there were some that were missed, there would not be too many. Moreover, the protagonist would continue to search.
The hypnosis skill that was exchanged with the lives of those unlucky fellows had caused most of the sandworms in the valley to fall into a deep sleep. There were only a thousand of them left. These thousand sandworms had higher intelligence than the other sandworms. At least they remembered the mission given by the protagonist, which was to patrol the desert and eat every two desert bandits they encountered. They were not allowed to reproduce at will.
To be honest, even though these 1,000 sandworms were relatively smart, it took a lot of effort for the protagonist to make them understand. After doing all this, the sandworms dispersed, and our protagonist began to advance to the edge of the desert. As for the Sandworm Valley, our protagonist is not worried. The sleeping insects are hundreds of meters deep underground. Even grave robbers can't dig in.
The protagonist moved towards the edge of the desert. It wasn't that he wanted to leave the desert, but to observe the situation of the countries around the desert. After the protagonist gathered the sandworms and consciously eliminated the desert bandits, the trade in the desert would inevitably develop rapidly. The development of trade would bring a lot of wealth, a lot of wealth would bring a lot of power, and a lot of power would breed a lot of ambition. In other words, war was not far away.
It was said that the desert was not suitable for human survival, but there were still many oases in the desert. There were also many underground rivers under the desert. Many oases and underground rivers had settlements and even small cities. They could provide resting spots for merchants and even directly become trading markets. In many cases, transporting goods from one end of the desert to the other was not the most profitable way. If one could sell their goods at a relatively reasonable price in these trading markets and then buy the goods that would make money on the return trip at a relatively reasonable price, this was the way to obtain the greatest profit.
Of course, those who dared to set up these trading markets in the desert were undoubtedly capable people. They did not need to travel back and forth in the desert. As long as merchants came here, they would have enough money to support themselves. However, benefits always came with risks. Other than desert bandits and natural disasters, the greatest danger these people had to bear was the magical beasts in the desert. The biggest threat was the sandworms. Many settlements and even small cities had been attacked by hungry sandworms. In the end, it became a monument in the desert, as well as a bloody notice board that announced the danger of the desert.
Like the countries around the desert, after the protagonist gathers the sandworms, these settlements and small cities will slowly develop. After a period of survival of the fittest and merger, they will form a country. For a considerable period of time in the future, they will also become the object of observation for the protagonist.
Logically speaking, why would he observe them? In fact, this was the protagonist's plan. Sandworms could not survive in the desert by themselves. They had to find allies, and this ally, the protagonist chose humans. As allies, both sides must benefit before they could form an alliance. What would the sandworm know? In battle, Sandworms could help allies defend against foreign enemies. As for invading other countries, that was out of the question. Sandworms 'main battlefield could only be the desert, and the protagonist would only ally with the country that unified the desert.
After observing the few countries around the desert, the protagonist was quite disappointed because these countries were either too weak or had no intention of moving their development center to the desert. Thus, the protagonist finally gave up. It seemed that countries in the desert could only be born from the desert.
As he continued to wander and gather the uncontrollable sandworms, our protagonist kept observing the people in the desert. Among them, a commercial tribe attracted the protagonist's attention. Commercial tribes should be a unique tribal form in the Desert of Death. Their nature was actually the same as the nomadic tribes on the grasslands and the hunting tribes in the forest. However, they were not chasing water grass or prey, but the goods circulating in the desert.
It could be said that a commercial tribe was actually a huge caravan formed by a family. However, they were different from ordinary caravans. Under certain circumstances, they could even play the role of a trading market. In other words, they could be regarded as a trading market that flowed in the desert.
The main character was attracted to this commercial tribe because there were two, no, three familiar soul waves in this tribe. They were the girl it had saved decades ago, who was now a grandmother, her daughter, who had just become a mother, and the newborn baby girl.
There were two other reasons why the protagonist would not pay attention to them if they were just familiar with them. One was that this commercial tribe was the largest commercial tribe in the desert, regardless of the number of clans or military strength. Secondly, perhaps because she was saved by the legendary King of Sandworms when she was young, she, as the tribe leader, worshipped sandworms very much. Perhaps it was a coincidence that sandworms had never attacked them. Instead, they would sometimes help them eliminate the invading desert bandits. This made their entire tribe worship sandworms very much. Recently, they even made the protagonist their tribe's symbol and even totem.
After observing for a while, our protagonist decided to contact this tribe. However, the protagonist would not appear in the camp so casually. This was not in anyone's interest. The protagonist planned to use his spiritual power to call the former girl out of the camp alone. For this, more than a dozen desert bandits tragically became test subjects.
……
When the moon in the desert reached its highest point in the sky, Bazaar, the chief of the Baird tribe, had finished a day of hard work and was now doing her daily prayers in her tent. As a woman, Bazaar was able to become the chief of the largest commercial tribe in the desert. In addition to having a sharp mind, she also had some special power. This power was inherited from her grandfather. It was the power of the soul, which made her not only the chief of the tribe, but also the shaman of the tribe.
"Little girl…little girl…"
She was about to end her prayers when a powerful spiritual energy invaded her brain. However, this spiritual energy did not hurt her. Instead, it turned into a call that echoed in her mind. For some reason, Bazaar felt that this call was very familiar. This feeling of nostalgia seemed to come from a long time ago, and the title of " little girl " seemed to make her understand something.
"Mother!"
A voice interrupted Bazaar's thoughts. She opened her eyes and found that her daughter, Badai, was holding her granddaughter and looking at her anxiously. In addition to anxiety, Bazaar also saw a trace of fear in her daughter's eyes. Then, she saw that her daughter was only wearing a single shirt. She must have been very flustered when she ran over.
