Chapter 102: Digging Crabs

"Cannibalism is coming?" The human warriors were a little panicked when they heard the news, they were too tired, and if they suddenly started fighting at this time, they were likely to lose.

But at the moment, there is no other choice, everyone knows that they must urgently support the rumors and work together to fight off the cannibals. If the rumors are defeated, they will not only fail their mission, but they will even be in danger themselves.

Shi Pan immediately made a decision and ordered the hunters to throw down their supplies, bring their weapons, and prepare to rush to the battlefield.

The dragon spirit grabbed Bakabaka's arm and shouted, "Where are they? Take us there! ”

Baka Baka didn't seem to be in a hurry, and said something in a hurry.

The great wizard was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand and shouted to everyone: "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, cannibalism hasn't come." ”

Everyone said irritably: "Is it here or not, what is going on?" ”

"Hey!" The Great Wizard stomped his foot helplessly and explained, "These dwarves speak inconsistently and can't express themselves clearly, and I misheard the meaning. ”

It turns out that the cannibals have not yet reached the island, but have broken through the most important quagmire defense line of the rumor. Once it is broken, there is no danger to defend after that, and they will find a way to the island at any time.

The rumors urgently mobilized their men to rebuild a line of defense, and at the moment the men were working in the swamp, leaving only the old and weak women and children in the village.

"He's 'damn', a false alarm!" The human hunters all let out a heaviness and relaxed.

Long Jing scolded and asked the rumor to quickly take people back to the village to rest, he couldn't rest assured, and decided to go to the front line to check it out first. So he took Bakabaka and drove the wild boar to the mountain pass to the east.

Running out of the hill and standing on the slope, I saw a vast marshland in front of me, and a few kilometers near the edge of the island were covered with low shrubs. The shrubs are clumped together, widely spaced, and in between, white stagnant water and flooded shallows.

"There they are." Bakabaka sat in front of the dragon spirit and pointed to the distance and shouted.

The dragon spirit raised his eyes and saw that a kilometer away in the shrub mudflats, there were many small black dots crawling around like ants.

It's too far away to see the appearance of those people, but they are all the same size, and they are not fighting, and there are no other humanoid creatures around, and it seems that cannibals will not be able to attack for a while.

He breathed a sigh of relief and rode slowly over on the boar.

This time, the rumors discovered them very early, and soon divided a team of dozens of people and fanned out a small boat to meet them.

The boat approached, and the rumors on the boat saw that it was a behemoth, and there was a human riding on it, and they all thought it was a cannibal, and they screamed in shock.

They did not dare to come any closer, and stood far away on the boat, holding bids and blowpipes and threatening loudly, hoping to drive the monster away.

The rumors who were working in the distance also exploded when they heard the warning, screamed and got on the boat, and surrounded them together.

The big boar ignored the creatures in front of him, and walked in the mud with his long beak looking for food, and the dragon spirit counted the boats that came in, about two or three hundred, and on each reed boat there were one or two little people with a rumor.

"It's only five or six hundred young people, and the strength is too weak." He shook his head and held the anxious Baka Baka in his hand aloft.

Bakabaka had been barking just now, but his kind was too far away to pay attention, and it was only then that the rumors saw it. They recognized Bakabaka's owl painted shell shield, and they all talked suspiciously, but they still did not dare to approach, still holding their weapons on guard.

"Go, make it clear to them." The dragon spirit swiped his hand and threw Baka Baka out.

The giant egg landed more than ten meters away, and then slid through the muddy water for another twenty or thirty meters, until it hit a bush and did not stop.

After a few spins, Baka Baka stood up with his hands and feet, took off his eggshell to reveal his true face, and shouted at his fellow people not far away.

Several small boats surrounded him and pulled him into the boat and carried him into the crowd. After talking for a while, a rumor man said a few words in a loud voice, and everyone cheered.

The dragon spirit smiled and waved around, and the rumors approached in small boats, surrounded the big wild boars, and watched curiously, pointing at the dragon spirit and the canopy.

All of them wore shells, but some of them took their shells off, and Baka Bakaka led a man who didn't wear a shell over and gestured.

The dragon spirit didn't understand their words, and probably knew that this rumor was of high status, and might be the leader of the rumor, and nodded to him.

The two sides didn't understand the language, and they didn't say a few words, and under the order of the leader of the rumor, all the rumored people turned back and continued to work.

Accompanied by the leader and Bakabaka, the dragon spirit came to the construction site with the others, and saw that the mudflats there had been dug in a mess, and there were piles of black mud everywhere, and the water surface had become black mud.

The people who came back stopped the boat at the rear, took off their shells, got off the boat, went to the construction site and picked up sticks and carried baskets on their backs, some stood on the reed mats on the ground, some jumped into the mud, and began to dig again.

The leader gestured vigorously and explained their work to the dragon spirit, who observed the surrounding terrain and roughly understood their purpose.

There is a large area of stagnant water and mud in the vicinity, and only a relatively solid tidal flat is barely passable, and the rumor-fungus people want to dig this tidal flat into a muddy pool. They had done most of the work, and only one or two acres of land remained.

With the stick in their hands alone, it would take them several months to complete this big project, but they used a strange tool to make the project progress go by leaps and bounds.

But the tools were large black crabs, and their bodies were like cobblestones, and their bodies were the size of a basin, and their limbs and legs were thick, and their claws were sharp.

They were crossed with straw ropes, which were connected to four long sticks. Holding the stick, the four folks held the crab together and placed it where it needed to be dredged, firmly holding it against the mud.

The big crab didn't move, and another rumored mushroom man used a sharp branch to poke the soft flesh on the side of the crab's shell. As if it had been electrocuted, the crab clawed desperately on its eight legs, and in the blink of an eye it dug a large hole in the mud.

The crab has been pushed into a depth of more than three meters, and it looks like it is almost there, and the four rumors pull the crab out, and the rumorads waiting next to them come over to expand the mud pit, and then continue to stimulate the crabs to dig the pit.

The efficiency and convenience of digging the crab are better than the electric machinery of later generations, and the whole process takes less than three minutes. With the help of 34 dredging crabs, the people easily dug the tidal flats into a muddy mire.

"I heard Baka Barka say that they can change the swamp terrain before, I didn't believe it yet, but today is an eye-opener!"

The dragon spirit was amazed and asked, "How long have you been doing it?" ”

"Two days!" The leader understood what the dragon spirit meant, stretched out two fingers, and said, "The rest can be done today." ”

The dragon spirit saw that it was getting dark, and wanted to go back early to discuss the matter of meeting the enemy, and said, "I'll help you." ”

As soon as he drove his mount, the canopy boar rushed into the mud with a thud.

I saw it wade into the remaining mudflats, poke a pit with its big mouth, pick a ditch with its fangs, arch its body, and turn a large piece of dirt into a mud pit.

The people were stunned, and hurriedly put away their crabs to get out of the way, and they all stood aside to watch the giant beast wield its might.

(The river crab is coming!) )
