The duo managed to kill the fish-man in front of them and were about to go to the other people's aid, only to find that the battle with the others was over.

Counting the one in front of him, two of the seven fish-men died, and one was already dying, and the remaining fish-men saw that the situation was not good, and immediately fled.

The people in the camp were jubilant, and the fish-people who had been worried about them for seven or eight days were driven away, and they still did it themselves, and the process was very easy, and it seemed that these fish-people were so terrible.

The people in the camp felt that with this experience, even if they didn't have those guards to help kill the fishmen, they could still hold the camp and drive them away.

Pan Xiaogu is not as optimistic as others, he has heard many legends about Death Valley in Persia, these legends should be caused by the fishmen, since these fishmen can scare the Persians and steppe people for hundreds of years do not dare to enter the valley, it will definitely not be so simple, either the number of fishmen is huge, or there is a more powerful existence among the fishmen.

Pan Xiaogu is more inclined to the second guess, because after all, it is the real world, and it is still necessary to talk about ecological balance, and the number of a race that eats all flesh cannot be too many.

But it's hard to say, after all, there is a precedent of thousands of wild wolves attacking the city before, and he can't be 100% sure before he investigates it clearly.

The camp shouted trumpets, and dragged the corpses of the three fishmen to the wall with ropes, and after the corpses were dragged in, they helped pull the guards outside back, and then a group of people put these heroes on their shoulders and celebrated around the corpses of the fishmen.

Pan Xiaogu was smiling on the side and watching the excitement on the side, and from time to time he lowered his voice and talked to Zhao Dajiang next to him.

"Master, although the fish-people were repelled this time, there is no telling when they will return. I can't stay here all the time, the work of dredging the river will be put aside for the time being, and I will go back to Xianyue Township to mobilize a part of the militia to assist in the defense of the camp. ”

Master Zhao's face was bitter

"My lord, my subordinates can only govern the river, not fight, I'm afraid it's difficult to do this. If I hadn't been incompetent, I wouldn't have killed or injured so many people. ”

Pan Xiaogu gently reassured: "Don't worry, I will send another officer to take charge of the defense of the camp, and the master only needs to organize people to repair the camp." I was also negligent before, thinking that this was the rear, so I didn't leave anyone to defend, and it had nothing to do with the master. ”

Seeing that Pan Xiaogu took all the responsibility on himself, Master Zhao was speechless with gratitude

Pan Xiaogu continued to ask: "By the way, I patronized to deal with the fishmen before, but I haven't had time to ask, how is the river cleaned?" ”

Hearing Pan Xiaogu ask about the river cleanup, Zhao Dajiang immediately cheered up.

"The work is going well, the gunpowder sent by the adults and the immortal masters have helped a lot, and now a section of a hundred meters long channel has been cleared, at this rate, the channel can probably be unobstructed after the autumn harvest." Zhao's plan was to open a route in the river, but he did not remove all the reefs.

"However, the gunpowder provided by the adults has been used up, and if it is not for this help, it may be delayed until next summer."

"Don't worry about the gunpowder master, I have already entrusted someone to go to the Central Plains to purchase, and I have also bought some raw materials, we will try to mix it ourselves, and after success, how much gunpowder will be needed."

Hearing that the gunpowder was enough, Zhao Dajiang was not as excited as Pan Xiaogu thought, but looked at the fish-man corpse in front of him with a worried face.

Seeing this, Pan Xiaogu asked strangely, "Master Zhao is worried about the fishman?" ”

Master Zhao nodded, pointed to the corpse of the fish-man and asked, "My subordinates just thought that since this fish-man lives in the water, my lord, will they attack while we are cleaning up the reef in the water?" ”

Pan Xiaogu: ......

————

Because of the early drive away of the fish-man, the people in the camp finally had a good night's sleep, but Pan Xiaogu was not included, he was disturbed by Zhao Dajiang's problem, and he didn't rest well all night.

Since the fish-man did not attack the engineering team in the water before, Pan Xiaogu almost forgot that the fish-man lived in the water, and that was the home of the fish-man.

Although he took advantage of the advantage of the land home field to win first, it was difficult to say when he was in the water.

He also thought of a possibility, this fish-man had never appeared in the Wuhe region before, at least he had never heard of the legend of Death Valley or fish-man in the Tang Realm, which showed that the fish-people used to live in the west of the valley, and this time they appeared on the east side of the valley, could it be attracted by the movement of cleaning up the river?

Before figuring out the situation, Pan Xiaogu ordered to suspend the work of cleaning up the river, and first made every effort to renovate the camp at the mouth of the valley, which happened to have run out of gunpowder, and now the construction efficiency is not high.

Pan Xiaogu and Zhao Dajiang didn't mention this matter to others, and only suspended the construction in the name of waiting for gunpowder and expanding the camp, but this matter couldn't be hidden for too long, maybe someone would think of the key point at any time, and it was likely that no one would dare to go into the water at that time.

Pan Xiaogu couldn't think of a solution to this matter for a while, so he and his guards stayed in the camp for another two nights, and after making sure that the fishmen would not come to retaliate, they left the camp and prepared to return to Xianyue Township.

Worried about the fish-man attack, Pan Xiaogu did not choose to take a boat, but went along the land route, but fortunately, the swamps and wetlands along the way had been frozen, and it became much easier to walk.

Not long after leaving the valley mouth camp, Pan Xiaogu suddenly remembered that after the number of territory nodes increased, there seemed to be a node near the valley mouth, so he quickly opened the system to check, and sure enough, he found that there was a territory node near the valley.

Pan Xiaogu suspected that the main habitat of the fishmen was in the Jieshan Valley, and he had a plan to establish a new territory in the valley mouth as a way to block the fishmen from entering the Five Rivers region, but what made him entangled was that the node near the valley mouth was actually on the other side of the Panyang River, and if he wanted to establish a territory, he had to take the risk of being attacked by the fishmen and take a boat!

The winter temperature in the Panyang River basin is about minus five or six degrees, but the water flow of the Panyang River is relatively fast, except for the place close to the bank, most of the river is not frozen, and you can only rely on ferries to cross the river.

Pan Xiaogu weighed and felt that this risk was worth taking, the location of the valley mouth was very important, it was located right in the middle of the String Moon Territory and the Persian Territory Group, putting aside the fish-man factor, after establishing the territory, it could not only provide supply support for the engineering team nearby, but also strengthen the connection between the Five Rivers region and the Persian region.

And after establishing a territory, the surrounding terrain will be changed to a limited extent, and a territory will be established in the valley, and if you are lucky, you will directly open the valley mouth channel, and you will earn it.

Thinking of this, Pan Xiaogu reined in the war horse and called the guards around him

"Stop, let's go back to camp!"
