Chapter 107: An embarrassed woman
The shell of the Rumor Man has many functions, not to mention other functions, but its essence is a means of transportation that moves in the mire, whether it is on the water surface or in the quagmire, the Rumor Mushroom Man can use it to pass.
Especially in the mud, it's even more magical.
Lying in the shell, holding a pair of shovel-like short slurry in the mud, coupled with the help of legs and feet, the streamlined shell is like a surf skateboard, which can glide faster in the mud than running.
The apparently calm swamp is full of hidden dangers, and it is difficult for humans to move an inch, but the folklore people rely on a shell to walk through it without hindrance.
At this time, it was almost dusk, and in the mire not far away, more than a dozen people with shells were gliding happily back and forth like penguins.
These are spies sent to the cannibal camp to reconnoitre, and among them are two human huntresses.
Several leaders of the Longze Department felt that the rumors were a little unreliable, and insisted on sending their own people to investigate. However, the human body was too heavy to move as freely as the rumor, so he had to pick two of the skinniest huntress to follow the rumor.
These two huntress didn't have the skills of the rumor, so they had to lie on the reed boat and be dragged by the rumor, but the speed was not slow.
"It's incredible!" Long Jing and Shi Pan were amazed.
"Their skills in the mud are so amazing, no wonder cannibals have been deadlocked for months and can't find a way, so we can't please them." The dragon spirit couldn't help but praise.
"Hey, hey, hey." Ptatta listened to the Great Wizard's translation and smiled proudly, "Cannibals are indeed strong, but the Great Swamp is the territory of our Rumors. In the mire, they are as clumsy as bears, and we Rumor Warriors are clever bees that beat them out of their power. ”
"In the past few months, they have sent many warriors into the swamp to explore the way, but we have all driven them away. Originally, we defended very tightly, but then we ......"
Speaking of this, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said slowly: "Later, they divided into a large group of dozens of people, regardless of the dead and wounded, and moved forward little by little, we could no longer stop it." Although they were slow to probe out, they still leaned out of the passage. ”
"The dragon is right, they must have a cunning and powerful leader."
Putata sighed, pointed to the distance and said, "The cannibal residence is there, less than five miles away from us. ”
The dragon spirit raised his eyes, and the position was hazy and could not be seen clearly, but he could only vaguely see that there were large shrubs growing, and there should be a large area of hard ground.
He carefully glanced ahead, the swamp was empty, and asked, "Why haven't you seen the cannibal detectives since yesterday?" ”
"I don't know, maybe it's resting, after all, they've been exploring the road for months, and they must be tired." Putata replied casually.
After all, cannibals are human beings, and any cunning trick may be used, and the dragon spirit did not dare to take it lightly, and instructed: "Patriarch Putata, don't relax. ”
"Send your men out to patrol, not only to the east, but also to be watched in other directions."
"There's no need." Putata disagreed: "Those three directions are absolutely impossible to bypass, they have been exploring this road for so long, where can they still detour?" ”
The dragon spirits frowned when they heard this, they didn't want to do such a simple defense? Rumors are not lazy, they are stupid!
Shi Pan said angrily: "Just in case, you have to send someone." ”
Seeing that several human leaders were resolute, Putata had no choice but to agree, and at the urging of Shi Pan, he arranged for people to patrol on three sides on the spot.
Everyone watched the reconnaissance team gradually move away until the figure disappeared, and then watched for a while, and saw that it was getting dark, and then set off to return to the village.
Several bonfires had been lit in the clearing by the river, and the warriors of both sides mingled and exchanged skills with each other. However, the unique combat skills of the rumor people are not used by humans, and it is mainly humans who teach the rumors.
Especially in the skills of using weapons, the gap between the rumor and the human is not small.
Their bone spur short spears, blow pipes, and bone knives are okay when a few people are fighting, but they are not used on large-scale battlefields.
Baka Baka can make the dragon spirit scramble, mainly because he has a treasure weapon to draw a shell shield to protect himself. The shell of the ordinary rumor-like people is not so useful, barely able to defend against arrows, and when a large group of people fight, they must be trampled to death if they roll on the ground.
This time the humans provided enough sophisticated weapons to replace all their equipment.
There are many trees on the island that can make spear shafts, and with the spear shafts of old stone spears, five hundred flint spearheads are installed with wooden handles in one day, and almost every person has a new spear. The Long Ze Department carried a lot of bids, and gave them another three hundred light javelins.
In addition, fifty bamboo bows were also assigned to the balloon warriors who could use bows, and the balloon men in addition to fishing for aquatic products, they also often shot birds and beasts to supplement the nutrition of women, and the archery skills were not bad.
A few people rushed to the river, and saw a group of people practicing spears, bidding, and archery with the help of human hunters.
It was the idea of the dragon spirit to train the rumors to use weapons and cooperate with humans to fight, and everyone else thought it was feasible after hearing it, and the combat power of the rumors people increased, and they were a little more sure of winning. So Wuzhigang, Chongmeng and Nu Xin took the initiative to take on this responsibility.
Humans and rumors are very serious about training, and they are about to go to war, it is a matter of life and death, and no one dares to neglect it.
Long Jing looked at it for a while, and suddenly saw Nu Xin and a group of huntress standing aside with their arms crossed, all with strange expressions, and when they asked, they couldn't help laughing.
It turns out that the rumors are all good men who pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and they will not let their women be hurt a little, and they all feel sad to see that humans actually let women fight.
How can a woman be allowed to risk something so expensive? It's just ...... It's so unreasonable!
So they strongly recommended that the huntress be out of battle and kept at home.
Of course, the people of Long Ze would not agree, and the female men felt even more insulted, and a group of small and thin men dared to look down on them, and they were all ready to teach the rumors a lesson.
The result was a ridiculous scene.
The rumor man is like a girlfriend in later generations, and softly persuades a tall woman who is two heads taller than himself: "You girls' families, it's not good to dance with knives and guns." Well, go home, chat and sleep, cook and take care of the children, no matter how strong the wind and rain outside, we will withstand it. ”
The huntresses are about to go crazy, and in the face of these kind-hearted warm men, scolding is neither beating nor beating, and I don't know how to react.
The male hunters were lying on the ground, all holding their stomachs and laughing, but now they had already laughed, and they were all busy with their business, ignoring the embarrassed women.
The female men were invited to the sidelines by the rumored men, and they stayed helplessly, all of them were in a daze, and the taste in their hearts was indescribable.
