Chapter H: The Creativity of the Vine Armor

The mountains are like the sea, and the sunset is like blood.

In the vast wilderness, autumn insects are bleak.

Ning Yu and Avril led a group of uneven height and people to walk among the painting-like landscapes.

The tall figure of the Red Clay Plateau gradually revealed its tall figure from the barren grass on the horizon, and after many days of trekking through the wasteland, Richard's fiefdom was about to arrive.

The composition of Richard's people and family members is very complicated, the pandas and mastiffs are tall and burly, and the halflings are short, in addition to the three hundred boys and girls who are sensible and obedient, the composition of the people is also two vassal tribes handed over to Ning Yu by Viscount Simak, one tribe is the skunk people of the Kunk tribe, and the other tribe is the hedgehog people of the Trench Rainbow tribe.

These two races are the vassals of the Pigs when the Helen family was originally in Maple Leaf Village, and after the desert bandits bloodbathed Maple Village, the Pigs and their vassals migrated to Boke Village, and the rest scattered to other Fox families.

This time I came to Fei Lengcui, in addition to the fact that these two tribes were willing to follow their young lady, (ps: This is mostly the result of the coercion of Viscount Simak. No other Beamon would follow Helen to the heart of this terrible wasteland.

There is still a certain distance between loyalty and reality.

Ning Yu looked at this group of vassals who were as short as halflings, and sighed faintly in the bottom of his heart.

Along the way, the walk was quite stable, and there were no large-scale raids by the bandits of the wasteland, and the only sneak attack was also beaten by the mastiffs and pandas.

Li Bai, the little piglet sitting on the shoulder of the ogre Kalu, performed particularly well, under the command of the boss of Guoguo, it was like a small meat sausage, and the water arrows burst out, so that the sneak goblins were beaten head-on.

It's just that Kalu's chest was swollen for a long time afterwards.

The Sangan River, a melting tributary of the snow-capped waters of Temur Raya, is the largest river in the Danube, and except for the dry season of each winter, the river is jubilant and rampant, cleverly dividing the world of Beamon and the wasteland into two parts, one leading to the unknown and the other to civilization.

On the tidal flat on the bank of the river is a reed that covers the sky and the sun, smoking the reeds of white catkins, the wind blows, the sound of loud and loud, and the white catkins fly into the distance in the air.

"There's no bridge?" Ning Yu looked at the rushing river and frowned.

As soon as she spoke, she remembered that what she had said was a bit redundant, the distance between the two sides of the Sangan River was five arrows wide, and it was true that the carpenters of Beamon were not capable of building a bridge over such a wide river.

"With such a wide river, it is probably only possible for you craftsmen from the mysterious Far Eastern Continent to build a bridge." Avril opened her arms and felt the surging water element, a sensation that made her feel comfortable.

Like her, Ning Yu, who is also a sea clan, also felt much refreshed.

Maybe it's not a bad thing to be here. Ning Yu felt that there was at least one river here, and she would rather choose this place than the dry land.

The sentinels at the forward military stations along the Sangan River also spotted the tall and short pioneers, and quickly sounded the horns.

It is stationed here as the foremost military station on the Bimon border.

The military station has been abandoned for a long time, and the dilapidated arrow tower stands on the river bank like a lonely ghost.

The officer at the station, a handsome fox man, had examined all the papers, and after checking all the papers, he led the pioneers to the Sangan River, where there was a simple pier carved out of the reeds, and several huge vine boats ran aground on the bank.

"This is a big boat specially prepared for you to cross the river after receiving the notice from the military headquarters and the temple." The fox clan officer smiled and said, "Originally, this military station has been useless for a long time, in order to wait for your arrival, we have been here for a few days, and we finally looked forward to you." ”

"Are these boats sturdy enough?" Avril looked at the thick vine-woven hull with distrust, she wasn't worried about herself and Ning Yu, they were both sea clans, it didn't matter at all. But when the skunks and hedgehogs who accompanied her looked at the river, their faces turned ugly, and she was afraid that if there was a mistake, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"You can rest assured! Honorable Miss. Seeing the noble temperament of these two beautiful women, the fox clan officer did not dare to slack off: "These vines are wild vines in the wasteland, and they have a lot of oil, we will weave the vines into boats, and then after exposure to the sun, these vines shrink together, and there are no gaps, and they will definitely not cause water leakage." ”

"There are a lot of us, my lord, these vines won't be unbearable, right?" Ning Yu is also a little worried, these ships are simply children's toys compared to the previous Penglai.

"Wait a minute, I'll show you!" The fox officer tilted his head to the lieutenant from the side of the Pyg, and a big-shouldered and round-waisted Pigwarrior drew the standard saber at his waist and slashed at the ship.

There was a crisp "dang" on the ground, and the blade and the vines of the ship's hull splashed a cloud of sparks.

"These vines are so hard?" Ning Yu and Avril looked at the knife marks on the boat gang in amazement, and the vines with thick fingers were slashed with a single force, only cutting a gap of more than a quarter of the depth.

"The key is that the oil is relatively high, and after drying, the fibers shrink, making these vines very hard." The fox clan officer smiled and groaned: "Now the two young ladies should be relieved, right?" ”

Ning Yu and Avril looked at each other and smiled.

These boats are a piece of cake for the pandas who sail the seas in giant boats.

"Sanggan River, after a few bends, eighteen miles of waterway to Fei Lengcui, there is a red soil pinch on the bank"

"There's a lord, call Richard to babble."

"Babbling and feeding"

The high-pitched and loud song of the pandas attracted the boys and girls on the ship to echo them.

As soon as they heard this song, Ning Yu and Avril couldn't help but laugh, Richard this guy is interesting, the longer he is around, the more he feels this way, although he was sent to Fei Leng Cui, he still made up a song "Sanggan River" to teach everyone.

"Goode!" Ning Yu shouted at the panda on the bow of the boat who was propping the boat with a long wooden stick, "Drink less!" ”

"Got it!" Goode replied with a loud voice, picked up the wine bag and poured two more mouthfuls of rum. Since the arrival of the halflings, the pandas feel as if they have entered heaven, and they have Rum wine to drink every day. However, since the fight had two excessive drinking, resulting in "drunken madness", their boss canceled their quota, this time the boss was not there, the two boss ladies were easy to talk to, and Goode did not take the opportunity to take a few sips before talking.

"Sister Ning Yu, I suddenly had an idea." Avril blushed and took Ning Yu's hand, and said a little mysteriously.

"What thoughts?" Ning Yu smiled and patted the butt of the little piglet that jumped into her arms.

"Aren't we short of armor? The price of steel armor is too expensive, but we can make it ourselves! Avril's beautiful eyes sparkled.

"But we can't make steel! We're not dwarves, and we don't have a sensitive nose to sense the presence of ore there. Ning Yu hugged Guoguo, who was lying next to him with a big belly: "I really want to help Richard get a piece of armor, but unfortunately my only jade match has been a classic last time, and I can't make up enough money anymore." ”

"Not necessarily!" Avril patted the side of the boat beside her, her eyes flashing with cunning.

"You mean," Ning Yu's eyes lit up.

"We also have to share a little responsibility with Richard, so that he won't be dizzy by that little vixen every day!" Avril pursed her lips, a look of jealousy.

"Isn't this vine-woven armor a little shabby?" Ning Yu frowned.

"We can carefully design the pattern and make it more powerful!" Avril took Ning Yu's hand and said excitedly, "Isn't the armor of our sea clan all woven with seaweed in the sea, and the same goes for the vines!" ”

"Avril, you're so smart!" Ning Yu stroked the mermaid's face and said lovingly: "Actually, Richard has been praising you behind your back."

"I don't believe it" Avril stiffened her mouth, but the smile on her face was still very happy.

*********************************************************************

The herd of Silkworms and the Fat Antelope, under the shouts of the Hedgehog and the Skunk Man, shattered the inherent tranquility of the Fei Lengcui.

The land here is not the same color as the soil of the Danube, it is reddish-brown, with a metallic reflection, and there is no grass.

On the great wasteland with continuous dry grass, there stands a huge red clay high slope that is forty blades high and two hundred blades long, and on the red clay high slope with only a few lonely dog's tail grasses, there are caves and strange places of all sizes.

In the middle of the red clay slope is a huge stone god face, most of which is hidden in the red clay layer, which is the remnant of the battle of the ancient gods and demons, and there are many such ruins in the Danube Wilderness.

In front of the high slope, there are clusters of red bamboo shoots rising from the ground like towering trees, which have become a unique symbol here.

This high slope did not have a name before, and it was only at the turn of spring and summer that the Orephine people came here every year at the turn of spring and summer to dig some red clay back, red clay and bananas, which are two indispensable things in the food of the elephant people.

Ning Yu finally understood why the temple named this place that had no name "Fei Lengcui". A vast expanse of red earth near the high slopes of the laterite, with only dwarf shrubs and berry bushes clinging to the crust, is desolate to the extreme. Not far away, in the Danube Heath, the lush weeds divide a semi-arc circle according to the range of the red soil, with the rich steppe outside the circle and the barren red soil inside the circle.

The remnants of the sun, like blood, also smeared the red clay slopes with a layer of bright color.

"It's beautiful!" Avril felt that the desolation of the place gave her another feeling, an indescribably wonderful feeling.

"It's beautiful, but it's also desolate." Ning Yu looked at the large crowd behind him and frowned again. In the past, Richard was worried about everything, and she didn't feel anything, but now that it was her turn to take charge, she finally understood Richard's difficulties.

During this time, frowning eyebrows has almost become a unique sign of Ning Yu.

"We can make the Emerald rich! Become a jewel in the wasteland! Avril's words were unashamed, causing Ning Yu to frown violently.

"Where do we sleep? It's not good to sleep in a tent all the time, the ground is too heavy. Goode strode over and nodded at the two proprietresses. He had a provocative blister on his lips.

"It's already autumn, and if it goes on like this, everyone will get sick, and they won't be able to sleep on the ground." Ning Yu also nodded.

"We need to build castles, watchtowers, fences." Avril counted on her fingers, and the more she thought about it, the more ugly her face became. She finally understood why Ning Yu was frowning all the time these days. She finally remembered, now that she has no money at all, what will she use to build castles and corner towers?

"Let's talk about this when Richard comes back, and solve the problem of where to sleep first." Ning Yu said with a faint sigh. She felt that she really missed Richard, with him, between talking and laughing, even if she couldn't solve the problem, she had something to rely on, not like now, her heart was full of worries.

"Soon winter will come, and we must build our camp before the frost falls, and I'll go chop wood! There is a coniferous pine forest on the other side of the snowy mountain, and we pandas and mastiffs are all out to fight for a day and night to get back. Goode took out his wine bag and took another sip, "There isn't a tree in this damn wasteland except dead grass and shrubs!" When the day dies, he will bear first! ”

"You're gone, what about the guards?" Ning Yu shook her head.

"It's just one night, so it shouldn't be a problem." Goode was silent for a moment and said: "There is no way to build a castle without wood, this problem must be solved first, and you also want to surprise Lord Richard when he returns, right?" ”

Ning Yu was silent. She really wanted to share a little responsibility for Richard.

"At night we can sleep in a hole on the red clay slope, you see, the hole is very large, and it should be no problem to live a few hundred people. As for the guards, I'm all in my hands! Avril pointed to the cave on the high slope of the red clay and patted her chest and said, "I am a mermaid who is born with the ability to communicate with the water element, and a great magician of the water system!" ”

"Great idea! Avril, you're so smart! Ning Yu's eyes lit up, "I'm going to let the hedgehog people go to the grass, the soft dead grass must be very comfortable to sleep on, and the soil cave is also far away from the ground, there should be no earthly qi." ”

"Let those Kunk skunks live in other holes, they always like to fart along the way, and they stink to death." Avril pestered Ning Yu and said.

"Little ghost!" Ning Yu smiled and pinched Avril's nose.
