Chapter 1514: An Unexpected Situation
Trap is the simplest and most practical tool that our ancestors have come up with through continuous accumulation of experience and practice over a long period of time.
Earlier traps were used to hunt wild beasts, and over time, they were extended to a variety of environments, such as battlefields, tombs, and so on.
"So, the pit digging competition I asked you to do was actually for the trap."
I explained as I weaved a net from the branches.
"What about those fish bones and crab shells?" Cagalli asked, rolling my eyes.
"Obviously, fish bones have sharp tips that can pierce skin, and crab shells have the same sharp edges that can cut leather armor."
"Are you going to use this thing as a weapon to fight the rebels?" Lirea fiddled with a fish bone and a crab claw, she frowned, and suddenly reached out and stuck the tip of the fish bone in my arm.
"Hey, what are you doing?" At this moment, I was so engrossed in the process of weaving a net with a branch that I didn't bother to look back at her small movements.
Lirea retracted the fish bone and shone it at the sun, "It's broken...... Xiao Yi, your skin is so thick. ”
"Is it because of my thick skin?" I muttered, "It's still going to break if you stab you, this fish bone is too small to shake our long-trained skin." ”
"Huh? Is it? On the other hand, Jura also picked up the fishbone, which was four or five times larger than Lirea's, and aimed it at my arm.
"Hey, it's broken too" Yura pursed her lips and said angrily: "Xiao Yi, you are really thick-skinned." ”
I looked salted and said nonchalantly: "I'm really sorry for my thick skin." ”
"Do you really expect these things to fight to the death against the invading rebels?" Cagalli looked at the two broken fish bones, and couldn't help frowning: "If that's the case, I think it's more reliable to take the fine sand and raise them, at least they can be blinded." ”
"No, no," Susan advised, "or we will wrap the sand in a cloth, climb up the tree, and throw it at them, and maybe we'll stun a few of them." ”
"Yes, it's better to add some fish bones and crab claws to it, maybe it can really cut the skin of a few rebels!" Lirea picked up another fishbone and stabbed it at me.
"Hey, shouldn't this topic be stopped" I listened to a soft click, looked back at the fishbone that was the thickness of my little finger that was unfortunately broken because of the hard stabbing of my skin, and muttered: "You should stop here first, don't keep stabbing me with fish bones, it's weird." ”
"Na," I cleared my throat and said, "Actually, I don't plan to use fish bones and crab claws to fight them directly, but I plan to use another characteristic of fish bones and crab claws, this characteristic involves the biological field, even if you say it, you may not understand it too much, so I won't explain it to you first, and after completing the trap, you will naturally understand some of the truths." ”
My words caused a stir of smacks from everyone around me, and everyone was ashamed of my pretending to be unfathomable.
I don't care about their shameless expressions - I'm used to it, after all, from time to time they will show shameless expressions to me, the honorary president, as the so-called lice are too much to itch, and it is natural to get used to it.
After I finished laying the trap, I stood proudly five meters away from the trap, ready to explain the principle of the trap to everyone, but I was once again despised and shamed by everyone.
"Isn't it just that the unpleasant smell produced by fermentation makes the opponent who falls into the pit worse than dead," Cagalli was the first to disdain, saying: "I still understand this thing." ”
"Cut, isn't it the most rudimentary level of scientific knowledge" Lirea said with the same disdain, "I learned the first class when I was trained. ”
"I learned it when I was six years old," Yura laughs.
......
The crowd talked and talked for a while.
It was only then that I realized that with the little biochemistry I had learned on the Azure Planet, it was basically equivalent to elementary textbook-level knowledge here.
Damn, doesn't it mean that the knowledge that the traveler has is not available in this world?
Why doesn't this premise work when it comes to me?
You give me back my superiority!
......
......
The trap is successfully made, but this does not mean that it will definitely take effect, in order to test its success rate, I personally planted the trap several times, and finally guaranteed the probability that it will succeed.
After that, we used the branches and trunks we found to circle all the trap locations, and then contacted the elites of the Rose Legion hiding in the jungle to inform them of the details.
The Elite Captain said that they would definitely cooperate with my strategy and tactics to drive all the rebels into the trap as much as possible.
After two more days, the fairy queen finally called me, and she said to me in a serious tone: "The rebels may land on the island at night, this time they have sent no less than forty small boats, more than four hundred people, and they are well equipped, this should be the strongest combat power that the rebels have at present, you must be mentally prepared." ”
"What?" I was shocked: "More than 400 people! It seems that the army sent here by your old man is only more than 100 people, and there are more than 400 people in the upper place...... Can I consider escaping? ”
"Yes," said the Fairy Empress, "however, you will have to prepare your own escape tools. ”
"Hey, don't be so ruthless," I said in distress, "I'm not just my people, but your granddaughter too!" ”
"As I said before, I can't help the wolf with my child, so I can only do this in order to be able to wipe out all the main forces of the rebels at once."
There was sadness in her tone.
"Huh? I said, "Aren't you serious, are you, did you intend to treat us as outcasts on this island from the beginning?" My eyes trembled slightly, and I collapsed.
"I don't treat you as outcasts, but as bait," said the Elven Empress, "I am ready to send a reinforcement of six hundred men to reinforce you an hour after their departure, but the ships on which the reinforcements are traveling are the same as those of the rebel forces, which means that you will need to hold out on the island for an hour before the reinforcements arrive." ”
"An hour!" I gasped and said, "Grandma Empress, aren't you teasing me, more than 100 people beat more than 400 people, and you have to resist for more than an hour, your old man shouldn't be talking in his dreams!" ”
"If the environment you are in is a plain, I naturally don't dare to talk nonsense, but don't forget, most of the area of that island is covered by jungles, and you have lived on the island for a while, you should have a pretty good understanding of the island, and you should still be able to use the surrounding environment and deal with the rebels for an hour."
"How is this possible......"
"It's useless to say anything now," the Fairy Empress sighed, "I'm sorry, child, for making you suffer, and I hope you won't be burdened with painful memories because of my selfishness." ”
