Episode 174 Humanoid Bloodline
Friends who have eaten Sichuan cuisine have experience in the domineering of Chaotian pepper. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The first time I tasted it, it was a shock. But compared to India's chili peppers, Chaotian peppers can only be a small thing, and in India, there is even a super chili pepper that can spicy people.
Since the Living Buddha ordered to boil chili water, it is natural to choose the best chili peppers. So when we poured a slow bucket of chili water directly on one of the dwarves, the guy immediately fainted. The remaining two dwarves thought their companion was dead, and though they were terrified, they put me in a posture of looking at death.
As soon as I saw that it worked well, it was far from my purpose, I filled a cup of chili water and poured it into the crotch of the second dwarf. The guy immediately screamed like a pig, incontinent, and his eyes were about to pop out, and it didn't take a minute for his whole body to convulse and start foaming at the mouth. At this time, the first dwarf also woke up, but only one breath at a time.
So, when I smiled and went to look at the third dwarf, the fellow finally broke down, and said something in a trembling voice, and the dead fat man went up and gave him a big mouth, and shouted, "Make it clear." Yamantha, who was next to me for tea, suddenly pouted and muttered a few words to the dwarf, who immediately looked at Yamantha in surprise and replied.
Yamantha turned back to me in surprise and said, "This dwarf speaks the ancient Manhaus language, which is spoken by several large tribes from my mother's mother's family. I heard the word strangely, so I asked, "What is it?" Gumanhaus? Yamantha nodded and said, "Yes, some people call this language centaur. ā
Yes! I was stunned! Generally speaking, according to the classification method of Western fantasy, centaurs and dwarves belong to the same humanoid race, this group has many strange branches, including elf archers, silver pegasus cavalry, deadwood warriors several branches, this series of creatures is different from the undead, they are allies of the human race, and the auspicious beast of their race is the unicorn, which is still respected by people in many Western countries. As for their patron god, the Demon Golden Dragon, it is even more legendary by people.
The problem is that I've always thought of these as legends, I didn't expect that there were really dwarves in this world, and I didn't expect that there would still be a group of people who communicate in the language of centaurs. I think of our mobile phones and computers, do we pursue too much, but abandon a lot of old things?
I paused for a moment and hurriedly asked, "Ask these guys, where did they come from?" Why haven't we seen them before? Yamantha asked and asked, and the dwarf answered, and after about ten minutes, Yamantha turned back to me and said, "The dwarves said that they used to live in the underground mines of the Deccan Plateau, and that the mines were complex and that there was a deep shaft connected to the ground, and that they could not climb out of that shaft, so they lived there all along. ā
As soon as I heard this, I shook my head and shouted, "Nonsense, what is there to live in the mines?" It's dark, don't they want to come out and see the world of light? Can a shaft stump them? Don't you see how they can make bronze thinner than paper? They have such a high degree of forging technology, is it bothersome to make a ladder? ā
Hearing this, Yamantha suddenly realized, turned her head and asked sharply, and the dwarf answered honestly. After a while, Yamantha calmed down and said to me, "He said that their tribe has a legend that there are fierce beasts on the ground, and there is a man as thick, dozens of people as long, and no legs...... I interrupted Yamantha and said, "They may be talking about the sea serpent." ā
Yamantha suddenly realized, looked at me apologetically, and then continued: "The ancestors of the dwarves fought with the sea serpents, and they lost badly, and they were forced to flee into that pit. So they made a strict rule that no one should climb up to the ground, lest they attract the serpents. ā
Oh, as soon as I heard it, the feelings are like this, and such a statement is reasonable. He asked: "Just because you don't come up doesn't mean that others won't go down, over the years, all kinds of human expeditions have visited almost the entire world." Since their hole is in Hyderabad, India, the most densely populated city, is it impossible for the locals not to be discovered, and no one will climb down to look for them? ā
Yamantha smiled and said, "I asked him about this just now, and he said that the location of the shaft is at the top of the whole pit complex, and they rarely go to that place in normal times. Moreover, there are many poisonous snakes and bloodthirsty bats in the pit, and ordinary expeditions do not dare to go deep alone. ā
I nodded: "In this case, it's good that we can get along with each other...... So now, how did they break the rules again and climb up? Yamantha continued to interrogate the dwarf, but this time it was considered to have opened the conversation, and the dwarf immediately began to foam at the mouth.
As she listened, Yamantha explained to me what the dwarves meant.
It turned out that the dwarves never thought of climbing to the ground, but after the outbreak of the virus, the people in the Hyderabad region turned into zombie dumplings in large numbers, these rice dumplings have a very sensitive sense of smell and can smell the breath of the living, so the survivors in the Hyderabad region have suffered the most losses. After killing all the survivors who could be killed, except for a small part of the remaining zongzi who continued to surround the survivors hiding in the strong building, a large number of zongzi began to look for prey, unfortunately the dwarves lived underground all the year round, and they had never taken a bath in their lives, and the body odor was so heavy that they could smoke people to death, and they were soon found by the zongzi that the shaft.
The IQ of the zongzi is relatively poor, although they also know that the shaft is a bit deep, and it is difficult to survive if they fall from a height of several hundred meters. However, after the layers of zongzi surround them, the zongzi standing on the edge of the shaft are squeezed into the shaft by the zongzi behind.
Although the first few zongzi were broken and killed on the spot, after there were many dead zongzi, the zongzi actually used the corpse to make a meat pad under the shaft. Later, although the zongzi who were squeezed into the shaft were still very embarrassed, and even broke their arms and thighs, they didn't care about any small injuries to the zongzi, they walked and climbed if they couldn't, and began to search for prey in the mine.
You may not be able to find it in a day or two, and one or two zongzi don't have the ability to search the entire mine, but the endless stream of zongzi is endlessly squeezed into the mine, and in the end they still find the underground tribe of the dwarves. A bloody battle was inevitable, and although the dwarves won a great victory in the battle to defend their homeland, they soon found that the matter was far from over, and the dumplings continued to jump into the pit one after another.
After seven or eight days of hard work, the dwarven tribe finally became popular, and everyone wanted to rush to the ground to see what was going on. So the chief summoned the tribal elders, and the final result of the study was that he had to go out. If this continues, the dead dumplings will be able to fill the pit with their corpses.
So the chief Tyxon Ruben Ghosn ordered the construction of a bronze ladder, the dwarves are all excellent blacksmiths, and it is natural to build a ladder, but unfortunately this pit only produces low-quality coal, and the melting point is not enough to smelt iron, so only bronze can be used as raw material.
After the huge bronze ladder was built, the dwarves put together the ladders one by one, and slowly approached the hole in the shaft, although the first to send were all the best warriors of the tribe, equipped with a full set of armor, but still lost more than thirty dwarven warriors before they really climbed to the ground.
However, the battle was only just beginning, and the dwarves who climbed to the ground soon found that they were surrounded by more zongzi. A great battle was inevitable, and the first dwarven warriors to climb out of the pit suffered heavy losses because they were not used to the harsh sunlight, and it was not until the Great Chief Tyxon climbed to the ground that the situation was turned around.
An endless stream of dwarves crawled out of the cave one after another, they are all wise people, know how to use strategy and tactics, and although there are a large number of zongzi, most of them can only howl on the periphery, and they can directly fight against the dwarves, in fact, it is only the innermost circle of zongzi.
Tyxon immediately ordered the strongest dwarven warriors to be at the front, holding sturdy bronze shields to fend off the attacks of the dumplings, and stealing the air to slash the enemy with their battle axes. Although the dwarves are not tall, they are infinitely powerful, almost fighting with the northern zongzi, and the southern zongzi sacrificed part of their physical strength in order to adapt to the sunshine, but they are not the opponents of the dwarves.
By the time all the more than 3,000 dwarves had climbed to the ground, the situation was completely one-sided. The dwarf race, although it looks ridiculous, is an out-and-out powerful race, and its attack power, resistance to blows, and endurance are probably the ultimate of all creatures. Take a simple example to understand the terrible physical strength of dwarves: in the dwarf team, the best warrior is not necessarily male, many female dwarves can also be the best warriors, they are similar to male dwarf warriors, the only difference is that they do not have a beard. In the dwarven world, if a female dwarf dares to challenge a male dwarf, the male dwarf will often be beaten badly, supposedly because the female dwarf has more tenacious stamina.
The war potential of such a race with all the soldiers is very huge, and when the three thousand dwarves lined up in a phalanx to charge at the Zongzi, the Zongzi army was quickly unable to resist. After the dwarven team cleaned up the dumplings near the shaft, they immediately brought out the old people and children in the pit, and built a temporary fortress in the local area to house the children. As for the old man, in the eyes of the dwarves, there is no old man at all, as long as he has not died of old age, he has to carry a tomahawk to fight.
After the children were settled, the nearby rice dumplings had already gathered again. The dwarven warriors of the brigade immediately met the battle, and this time, because they were already familiar with the battle on the ground, the dwarves repelled the dumplings at a small cost, and the entire hillside was covered with corpses.
But the endless stream of zongzi is still swarming, and the dwarves have to continue to fight, so wave after wave of zongzi rushed over endlessly, and the dwarves fought for seven days and seven nights in one go, and finally completely defeated and killed all the zongzi.
As Yamantha said this, I interrupted her and asked, "Seven days and seven nights?" Don't they have to eat or sleep, you ask? Regarding this question, the explanation given by the dwarf was that the endurance of the dwarves was beyond the imagination of the human race, and it was still bearable for the dwarves to not eat, drink or sleep for seven consecutive days.
We all looked at each other and listened to Yamantha continue to translate.
After withstanding the onslaught of the zongzi, the dwarves only took a short break and immediately launched a comprehensive counterattack against the zongzi, and in the following time, they fought seven or eight tough battles with the zongzi in the Hyderabad area, and finally killed nearly half of the zongzi in the city of Hyderabad. As a result of a rough count, at least one million zongzi were killed.
The strength of the dwarves finally had a strong enough shocking effect, and the remaining zongzi, led by the zombie king, took a defensive posture in an all-round way, and they occupied about two-thirds of Hyderabad, and the remaining one-third was in the hands of the dwarven tribe.
The days of Armageddon had exhausted the energetic dwarves, and the Great Chief Tyxon restrained the warriors of the tribe to hurry up and recuperate, preparing to fight the zombie king on the opposite side again. However, the Zombie King's side was obviously not idle, he kept howling, as if he was summoning his companions to gather and prepare to attack again.
Under such circumstances, the elders of the tribe immediately suggested that the big chief send someone to find out the strength of the Zongzi army. So the Great Chief personally ordered the construction of a cruising airship and sent three shrewd and capable men to find out the situation. I didn't expect the ground world to be different from the underground caves, not long after the three dwarf warriors took off in an airship, a strong wind suddenly hung up, and the jeep relied on the principle of a hot air balloon to lift off, and it was completely resigned to fate if you wanted to control the direction, so these three unlucky guys flew here inexplicably, and then unfortunately we were caught and poured pepper water.
After understanding the general situation of the matter, we all breathed a sigh of relief, it turns out that this is the case, although these dwarves are not our kind, but they can be regarded as difficult brothers, I am a little sorry for letting them loosen the ties, and use water to wash the two brothers who are still shivering with chili water.
I sat them all down and asked, "How many human survivors are there in Hyderabad right now?" The dwarf listened to Yamantha's translation and said, "We have rescued a hundred survivors, and the Great Chief has divided them into slaves to take care of the children of the tribe. ā
When I heard this, I was furious and shouted, "Why do you take the Terrans as slaves? Once upon a time, weren't Terrans and Dwarves allies? "This is the concept of the fantasy system, in fact, I don't know if it's correct, but I was originally a writer of fantasy novels, so when I encounter the current situation, it is inevitable to take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Yamansha's translation, the three dwarves all showed ashamed looks, and the guy who was poured into the crotch of his pants with chili water explained in a curtive voice: "That was thousands of years ago...... Besides, we didn't use the human survivors to do any rough work to take care of the children. They can't beat zongzi, so we can't keep them for nothing, right? Another guy who was bathed in chili water also said: "Yes, those local survivors have a lot of problems, and they have to eat some kind of spicy food, in order to attack a seasoning shop, we sent out more than 500 people, and fought for three whole days before snatching the seasoning shop from the hands of the zombie king, sacrificing twelve brothers." ā
I slapped the table vigorously: "Then you can't treat people as slaves, can you?" Do you mean that whoever has the most strength is the eldest brother, although the gang is a gang, but it is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the powerful is the grandfather, and the bad one is the grandson, and then the grandson waits for the grandfather, rightfully so, isn't it? ā
Three dwarves, you look at me, I look at you, and finally the guy with a mouth of Baliso said: "This matter is not what we say, we are just ordinary warriors, and the specific decision depends on the opinions of the big chief and the tribal elders." ā
I got together with the dead fat man and the others and discussed it. The dead fat man immediately said: "Old flower, these dwarves are really fierce, and you see, they also recognize us as allies, can you think of a way to reconcile with them and re-form an alliance?" ā
Zhengyu also said: "Yes, Lao Hua, you have also traveled a lot of places, almost all of them, we humans are on the defensive. And even if it's defense, it's in jeopardy. The only exception is the city of Hyderabad, which is controlled by these dwarves, and although they have not yet fully occupied the city of Hyderabad, they are the only ones who have taken the offensive against the army of the Zongzi. ā
I nodded and smiled wryly, "I know what you mean, but you may be too optimistic about the situation." The dwarves, relying on their strong physiques, took advantage of the army of Zongzi in close combat, but as you have heard, they themselves are not without losses. And it was clear that they also did not have the ability to fully occupy Hyderabad, and a zombie king stumped them. The zombie king can't be killed by bullets, and the dwarves' tomahawks can't kill him at all, these dwarves are telling the truth, they really have no choice, so they sent the jeepin flying machine, saying that it was to explore the movements of the zongzi, and I estimate that nine times out of ten they are preparing to retreat. ā
Zhengyu said: "Yes, I'm afraid that's how it is...... Old flower, you say, should we go to the rescue of that dwarven tribe? In case they encounter the Zongzi King, the Zombie King or the Sea Snake again, they may have to suffer a big loss. "I touched my bald head, thinking to myself that these old allies were going to give me a problem. (To be continued.) )
