Chapter 128: Digging a Pit
In the end, the eight generations of witches did not choose to seek help from the leader of the sound tribe, which may have stemmed from the feelings he had for the sound witch in his heart, and also from a request he made for himself.
He knew that many people privately said that he was not worthy of the position of Fire Tribe Witch.
Throughout the fire tribe witch, stretching for eight generations, from the first generation to the present, there are calm people, there are male masters, there are good killers, there are good strategists, but there is no cowardly such as eight generations of witches.
He even guessed that some might call him a disgrace to the Fire Tribe.
Such an inferiority complex makes it difficult for him to open his mouth on the matter of asking for help.
Thinking about it, since I can't open my mouth, I will bear it myself.
After eating and seeing my daughter, I wanted to sleep, but I lay on the animal skin blanket, tossing and turning, and I didn't feel sleepy.
People are sleepy and physically tired, but their minds remain in a state of extreme exhaustion but unusually awake.
I couldn't sleep, so I simply rolled over and stood up and walked around the room alone.
"Somebody's got to think of a way, if this beast breaks into the station......"
He didn't dare to imagine what was going on, but it was enough, and he began to think of a solution in his own room in the dark room.
In this state, it is very easy to get sleepy when thinking about problems, and the eyes of the eight generations of witches in the thinking are half-narrowed, and he slowly falls asleep.
There was a slight snoring, and his wife peeked outside, saw that he had fallen asleep, and turned away again.
The atmosphere outside was still relaxed, and the eight generations of witches had blocked the news of the beasts inside, and people didn't know that the beasts in the jungle were peeking at the station, except for the warriors involved.
And at the edge of the jungle, the warriors guarding the tribe were unusually nervous.
Today, the beasts were surprisingly active, and even a few dumbfounded beasts rushed out of the jungle, and did not stop until they came to the fire tribe team, and returned to the jungle.
There was always a roar in the jungle, as if there was a fight.
When the sun was in the sky, the eight generations of witches woke up from their slumber in a daze, and the darkness around him made him feel a little uncomfortable for a while.
Shaking his head, the short-term slumber after exhaustion and sleepiness made his body even more tired, but fortunately, his spirit recovered a lot, and he soon remembered why he was sleeping here, and also thought about where it was.
Got up and was about to walk out of the room, but he suddenly tripped over something under his feet after taking two steps in the dark, and after a crackling sound, Yashiro Wu had already fallen to the ground.
"What's wrong?"
The animal skin curtain at the door was lifted by his wife, and the sunlight was shining through, and Yatsuyo saw what had tripped over himβit was a piece of wood that he used to pilllow under his head when he slept at night.
Such a familiar thing, but in such a dim light, made him stumble, which made him think of a possibility in an instant.
"Are you alright?"
The wife's anxious voice came, and the person had already entered the house.
Yashiro shook his head, stood up before his wife walked over, and strode out the door with a little anxiety.
"Tone Chief?"
A slender man stood outside, with a faint smile on his face, looking at the anxious Yachidai Witch, who also looked at him and called out in surprise.
The sound leader nodded and said, "Your wife called me and said that you have some trouble. β
The eighth generation of witches glanced back at his wife, and when he saw that his wife was also looking over, he nodded, turned back to the sound leader, and said: "The fierce beasts in the jungle are commotion, I have been guarding with the warriors for a few days, and the commotion has become more frequent in the past two days. β
"The warriors of the Yin tribe have also found it, but there don't seem to be any fierce beasts in the south. β
The sound tribe is in the southerly direction of the fire tribe's station, and this time the commotion of the fierce beasts is in the northern jungle, and the fierce beasts in the southern jungle have long been expelled by the tyrant.
"I found a fierce mantis yesterday, and it was the fierce mantis that His Majesty had mentioned. β
Hearing Yashiro's words, the smile on the face of the leader of the Yin tribe disappeared, and his brows furrowed, showing a worried look.
The front limbs of the ferocious mantis have serrated teeth, strong strength, and extremely fast speed, which is a very difficult beast to deal with.
"I have a way to deal with him. β
The Eight Generations Witch spoke again, and the sound leader immediately looked at the Eight Generations Witch, waiting for him to say something.
"Let's dig a deep pit, make the opening big enough, camouflage it on it, and if it attacks the station, lead him into the pit and let it fall. β
Yashiro Witch excitedly talks about his countermeasures, which he has just come up with after tripping over a log.
The sound leader thought about it and felt that it was feasible, but there were some details that still needed to be discussed.
"The camouflage on it is made of fishing nets, surrounded by stones, and covered with some dead leaves. β
Hearing the perfection of the sound leader, the eighth generation witch nodded vigorously, and added: "The bottom of the pit should be smaller, otherwise the fierce mantis will crawl out." β
"With stones. β
The sound leader said immediately.
"As soon as the mantis falls, hit it with a big rock and crush it inside. β
"Throw some fishing nets down and trap its claws so that it can't exert its strength. β
Yashiro Wu added.
The two of them said a word, and the later they went, the more careful the plan became, and in the end, they decided to dig the deep pit into the shape of a gourd.
In this way, it will be more difficult for the mantis to come up if it falls into the large hole below.
The two of them immediately acted after discussion, and the matter was in charge of the warriors of the Yin tribe, and the leader of the sound was in charge, while Yatsuyo Witch once again went to the front line to watch the situation there.
The two went their separate ways, and the eight generations of witches went to the front line to understand the situation, and after making sure that the fierce beast had no obvious intention of invading, he divided a team of 200 people to help behind.
The Yin leader directly led the Yin tribe warriors to choose a place to dig the pit, he found a slope, and began to dig the pit on the side facing the slope.
Since he didn't know when the beast would attack, he had to design the trap as soon as possible, but fortunately there were enough warriors available, and there was no shortage of things in the tribe that could be used to dig such as stone axes.
However, the ground is still frozen, which has greatly slowed down the excavation.
"Invite the sound totem, light the totem fire here, and burn it with fire. β
When he was in a hurry, he didn't care whether the method worked or not, and the leader of the sound gave the order and picked up a stone axe himself to go into the field.
He burst out with totemic power and slashed hard at the ground.
Seeing the boss go down and use the totem power, the others also started to use the totem power to start digging.
After a short time, the sound totem was brought, and the sound leader worshipped directly here, and the totem fire ignited and began to burn the earth.
After burning for a while, the totem fire was extinguished, and the warriors rushed in again, bursting out with totem power digging.
In this way, the speed is much faster, and from noon until the sun goes down, a pit more than one or three meters wide and more than two people deep is dug out.
With such frozen ground and such primitive tools, it is not easy to dig such a large hole in half a day, but the sound leader will not stop there.
"Light the torch and continue. β
The order was given, and the warriors continued to dig hard, and when Yatsuyo arrived late at night, the pit was already nearly four people deep.
"How's it up ahead?"
The sound leader sat on the ground tiredly, looked up at the Yatsuyo next to him and asked.
The mantis showed its head again, but soon left, but I saw that it had a rather fierce gaze, and it might not be able to endure it for long. β
Yashiro said worriedly.
"I'll speed it up again. β
The sound leader gritted his teeth and stood up to let the warriors burst out with all their totemic power, not stingy with the damage of the stone axe, and dig quickly.
The fighters rotated more diligently, and the speed of digging was also faster.
When the entire pit was about five people deep, the leader of the sound ordered to start digging towards the center, forming a smaller and smaller hole, and then continued to dig down the small hole.
Because of the limited space in the small potholes, the number of people digging has decreased, and the speed has slowed down.
The sound totem requires the warriors to burst out with stronger strength, not to be stingy with the power of the totem, so that a warrior will retire in about ten minutes, and this retreating warrior will be very tired, and he will not be able to continue digging for a short time.
But this is not the time to be stingy with physical strength, and the sound leader even jumps down to dig it himself.
After digging down one person deep, continue to expand in the pit below, and dig a second pit to build a second one.
The second pit was also dug to a depth of three people before the whole work stopped, and the time was already at dusk the next day.
At this time, Yashiro Wu was looking worriedly at the jungle not far away, where the battle of the fierce beasts was quite fierce, and he didn't know what was going on there.
But he knew that with each battle, the mantis's gaze would become more ferocious, and its desire to rush into the fire totem would be stronger.
After the news of the completion of the trap excavation came, his heart calmed down a little.
"Tell the sound chief, digging a few, don't rush, but don't stop. β
Taking precautions, the eight generations of witches immediately gave an order.
The sound leader listened to the order of the eighth generation of witches, thought about it and felt that it made sense, and immediately dragged his tired body and found a slope to dig again.
In the middle of the night, the battle in the jungle was quite fierce, and the fierce roars were constantly heard, so that the soldiers did not dare to relax their vigilance at all.
But until dawn, no beasts rushed over, and the first glimmer of light fell on the horizon, and the tired warriors relaxed a little.
At this moment, the fierce mantis suddenly walked out, its emerald green body still stained with blood, and there was still a trace of flesh in the serrated teeth of its forelimbs.
"Be careful, be on guard. β
Someone shouted, but without his warning, everyone was already clenching their weapons.
"Hiss ......"
The mantis let out a high-pitched hiss, and the warriors swallowed in horror.
This is not an ordinary beast, but a mutated beast, if it is just the original mutated beast, they are not afraid, but this kind of beast, they know its horror.
"Don't be a strong opponent, focus on harassment, and I'll lead him to a trap in a while. β
Yashiro Wu said loudly.
With his roar, the compound eyes of the fierce mantis fell on him, looking at him quite fiercely.
"Wu, let me come. β
The warrior next to him spoke, not wanting Yadai Wu to take risks.
"You don't know how to lead him to the pit, so I'll do it. β
Yashiro Wu exhaled a cloudy breath, his right hand holding the staff steadily.
When the danger really came, he felt that the tension disappeared, and at this time, he cared more about whether he could achieve the idea in his heart and lead the mantis to the pit.
