Chapter 364: The Thorn

The 100,000 Mountains traverse the middle of the entire continent of Humans, dividing the entire continent almost evenly in two. The continuous mountain range also extends to the southernmost point of the mainland, the Lizard Tail Peninsula, which also divides this narrow peninsula in two.

To the east of the Lizard Tail Peninsula, the monsoon winds from the southern seas of the empire are typical of the rainforest climate, and trolls who love humidity and jungle dominate the area.

To the west of the Lizard Tail Peninsula, the humid monsoon winds are blocked by the mountains, resulting in a perennial lack of rainfall, creating an entire desert. The lizardfolk built their Dune Palace here.

Trolls and lizardmen, in fact, have always had a very unfriendly relationship with humans. Because in the eyes of mankind, these are two closed and backward races. Isolation and backwardness mean that it is difficult to form reciprocal trade exchanges, and it means that it is difficult to make profits from them.

The reason why powerful humans tolerate trolls and lizardmen and occupy the vast land on the Lizardtail Peninsula, in addition to the agreement of the ancestors of various races in the legend, is actually that the Lizard Tail Peninsula has been exploring the equator all the way to the south, and the climate is really not suitable for human habitation and life.

In the long history, it is not that no one has run to the Lizard Tail Peninsula to establish colonies, but without exception they have all ended in failure. In addition to the violent resistance of the indigenous people, the bigger reason is that the input-output ratio is too low.

After a long time, mankind finally completely abandoned this land under the ground, where no large-scale mineral deposits and resources had ever been explored, and gave up this land with miasma in the east and desert in the west.

Aunt Mbappe woke up in the morning light, brushed her two short fangs with a brush, and hurried towards the melon field by the sea.

According to the troll, when a troll's fangs fall off, it means that he has completely entered old age and is incapacitated. Mbappe's aunt's fangs have begun to loosen, which worries her, and she needs to rely on this melon plot to pay for her two sons' school fees until they reach adulthood.

This melon field is their family's only source of income, and she is their family's only labor.

Originally, her life would not have been so poor. Her husband turned out to be an ascetic apprentice. Apprentice, that's a person who has risen out of the ranks of the Recruits and has the qualifications to learn psychic magic. Once they learn psychic magic, their entire family, and the entire tribe, will be treated with a high level of courtesy.

However, the ascetic died in the battle against the lizardmen, and her husband died in the same battle. The ashes were not brought back, and all the compensation for her war death was on the beach, and a melon field was drawn for her.

She used this melon field to finally raise her infant twin sons, and they all went to school. And in the past ten years, he has also aged rapidly, and before he is fifty years old, his two fangs are crumbling.

Fortunately, this summer, the melon will ripen two more times, and the son will be able to officially become an adult and graduate from the school. I hope that the two sons can have a good life, even if they don't have a good life, it doesn't matter, they can find a physical job or come back to take over her melon field.

Her only wish is that her two sons will not go to war in pursuit of glory and fame like their fathers.

......

......

The eastern part of the Lizard Tail Peninsula has high temperatures and a lot of precipitation, so the fields are not suitable for the drought-loving watermelon to grow and bear fruit. But in the sandy land with excellent drainage by the sea, melons can grow big and sweet.

However, watermelon is a typical crop that needs intensive cultivation, and the delicate melon vine cannot withstand any pests and diseases, and the amount of irrigation is also extremely exquisite. So Aunt Mbappe has to work in the fields day after day.

This is still the time when the fruit has just set, and when the melon is close to ripen, Aunt Mbappe needs to watch the melon field 24 hours a day to prevent all kinds of animals from eating the watermelon.

After working from morning to night, checking the condition of each melon vine, when the full moon rose, Aunt Mbappe finally decided to end the day's work.

But the sound of a murmur in the melon field made her discourage her plan to go home and rest—the nasty Ru is here again, this kind of little thing, even the melon that has just set fruit has to bite, it is really annoying.

Aunt Mbappe picked up a fork and tiptoed over.

Tonight is the right night, suitable for hedgers.

......

......

Luo Songxi felt that this period of time was not good.

The limit of the "Poseidon Cabin" is fifteen days at a time, and it is impossible for the two of them to stay isolated at the bottom of the sea. When the blue expanse across the water was about to collapse, Luo Songxi sailed to the beach in a wooden boat.

But just as the blue sky dissipated, he put away the "Poseidon Cabin" and carried Veronica to the shore on the water, but happened to bump into a boatload of lizardmen.

Neither the Federation nor the Empire have any contact with the Lizardtail Peninsula, but the intelligence gathering on the Lizardtail Peninsula has not been interrupted.

So Luo Songxi knew that in recent decades, the relationship between trolls and lizardmen had continued to deteriorate, and the war had never been interrupted. The lizardmen who made their way to the east of the Lizardtail Peninsula to land were only lizardmen scouts who could have infiltrated the troll tribe.

The Scouts infiltrate a covert operation, and their ship crashes into two humans of unknown origin, and the lizardmen's first instinct is to kill them immediately.

So there was a chaotic battle, although there were no good hands among the lizardmen, but Luo Songxi was inconvenient to move, and there was no power to punish, but fortunately, there were a lot of weapons in the space box, and with great effort, seven or eight lizardmen, along with their boats, were finally buried on the tidal flats, and then pulled into the deep sea by the water of the low tide.

But poor Luo Songxi had just recovered his legs, which could support his body and move, and he was hit hard again, and he suffered a knife wound to his waist and ribs.

He took Veronica, who was groggy and burned, and finally climbed to the beach with difficulty, trying to find a hidden place to hide, but again he saw a figure walking towards them with an iron fork.

He couldn't hold it anymore and threw himself on the beach in a bush of green vines.

Veronica reached out and held it tightly with his.

"You're so stupid...... she muttered, "I told you to leave me alone......

......

......

Aunt Mbappe followed the voice and walked over, although Ru is a little thing that is annoying, and he specializes in biting tender melons, but if he can prick one end, it is also a good delicacy. Marinate the meat and wait for the two sons to return, so that the brothers can fight tooth sacrifices.

So Aunt Mbappe pinched the iron fork and was engrossed in preparing to stab it down.

found that in his melon field, there were two human teenagers, a man and a woman.

Aunt Mbappe was distressed, how many melons and vines had to be crushed. But when I saw the appearance of the two humans, I couldn't help but admire.

This baby-faced boy is so cute, and the girl is even more amazing, white and beautiful, I have never seen such a handsome girl.

If it is paired with a pair of fangs, it will definitely be a first-class beauty.

This should be a small couple, the relationship is really good, it's like this, the male baby is still desperately hugging the female baby, you see that when it falls, it is his own body on the ground, and he didn't let the female baby fall a little bit. The girl's hand clasped the man's hand so tightly, this means that if you want to die, you will never be separated.

Aunt Mbappe looked at it, and she was so moved that tears fell down, and she didn't care about feeling sorry for her melon anymore, so she threw away the iron fork, picked up the male baby with her right hand, picked up the female baby with her left hand, and strode towards her own cabin with Luo Songxi and Veronica in one hand.
