Chapter 172: Preparation

After a little greeting, Zhou Taigong looked at Ling Tao and asked, "By the way, Brother Ling, how do you want to use the things you asked the villagers to prepare?" I just can't think of it."

It's no wonder that Mrs. Zhou's guild asked this question, although Ling Tao asked not to prepare many things, but none of them seemed to be related to killing the black eagle in the sky.

There are bamboo chips, grass, and thick ropes, just these three, and nothing else, you must know that the black eagle is hovering in the air at a height of several hundred meters, and these moves don't seem to be able to threaten it, right?

"Hehe, you don't need to ask about such a thing, Taigong, just leave the matter of fighting with mutant beasts to our young people", Ling Tao shook his head and said, and then said: "Taigong, you let them put these things away, and then take a break now, let the villagers cook the meal, and at night, the fighters will act after a full meal."

Hearing Ling Tao's words, Mrs. Zhou and the others had a straight face, nodded and didn't say anything, acting at night, in such an environment now, you don't have to think about how dangerous it will be.

Zhou Taigong turned around and left, he couldn't participate in the fight against the mutant beasts, the only thing he could do was to keep an eye on the rear, so that the villagers who were bleeding and sweating outside would not have to worry about it.

"Mr. Ling, no matter what, I can't help you with anything if safety is the priority, I can only wish you peace in my heart", the black-faced old man who made the bow looked at Ling Tao and said sincerely.

Throughout the day, the huge black eagle still hovered in the sky above the school, swooping down from time to time to hunt mutant beasts and eat them, and the villagers did not dare to go out for a day in the school again.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Ling Tao felt that after a few days, the size of the black eagle in the sky seemed to have become larger, which made him more eager to kill it.

Because of the action at night, Ling Tao began to rest with the villagers who were going out at night in the morning, and slept until about three o'clock in the afternoon, and then while observing the black eagles in the sky, he advanced the training that had only been carried out at night to the day.

When the sun set, Black Eagle grabbed a huge mutant beast and left as usual, and by this time, the villagers had already prepared their meals, and Ling Tao and the villagers who were going to act at night began to eat.

When eating, including the men, women and children in the village, their hearts were heavy, and they didn't have too many words, they all knew that it would be dangerous to move at night, and they couldn't help anything, so they could only not delay the villagers who acted at night.

At eight o'clock, it was completely dark, and on the playground of the school, eighty villagers, including Ling Tao, were ready to go, with bows and arrows, holding spears, and most of the villagers were already equipped with long knives, which were not easy to cast, and they could not be fully equipped with the villagers who needed to fight.

The torches were erected, illuminating the entire playground brightly, Ling Tao stood in front and looked at the villagers and said: "This operation, at least until noon tomorrow, everyone must cheer up, and after killing the black eagle, they will return to the previous one, and the night action, everyone is the first time, I won't say much about the danger, in short, for the lives of hundreds of people in the village, we must go through this operation, I hope, how many people follow me out now, When I come back tomorrow at noon, there will still be so many people"!

The villagers didn't speak, they looked at Ling Tao with a firm face, including other men, women and children in Zhoujia Village, and their eyes were full of feeling when they looked at Ling Tao one by one, after all, Ling Tao was just a foreigner, and there was no need to work hard for these villagers.

"Okay, let's go, go to the mountain about eight hundred meters away in front of the left side of the school, I confidently observed during the day, the black eagle in the sky killed a total of three mutant beasts on that mountain, which means that it is relatively safe there, and the chance of success is better if this plan is implemented there", Ling Tao said with a wave of his hand.

The villagers patted the long dragon, holding torches high and leaving the school, and when they arrived outside the school, they entered the dark night, the villagers holding torches were in the middle, and there were more than ten villagers holding bamboo poles at least fifteen meters long.

I don't know if it's their luck, or because of the deterrent effect of the black eagle hovering in the sky during the day, they came all the way to the bottom of the mountain that Ling Tao said, and they didn't encounter large mutant beasts, although there were a lot of small mutant insects, but they didn't pose much threat to the villagers.

The mountain they are destination to is not large, no more than a few dozen meters high, and there are no tall trees growing on the rocks, but there are many low shrubs, but they are all growing extremely luxuriant in today's environment.

The group cautiously came to the top of the mountain, and could vaguely see the plants broken by the black eagle during the day, especially the state that the grass more than one meter deep on the mountain was all radiating to the surroundings, which made the villagers feel solemn, how fast the dive speed was, and the wind formed by spreading its wings after coming down could blow the grass like this?

"Alright, hurry up and get everything ready before dawn, and the villagers with torches are standing on guard," Ling Tao said.

After the villagers with torches stood outside, he said to the remaining villagers: "I asked everyone to bring shovels before, not to use shovels against Black Hawk, but to dig a pit, which does not need to be very big, dig a hole about two meters in diameter but at least five meters deep on the top of this mountain, and dig a hole at least 20 meters horizontally under the pit, this hole does not need to be too big, one person can bend down to get through guò."

Although the villagers didn't know why Ling Tao wanted to dig such a hole, they didn't ask, they just did it silently, people have inertial thinking, once they get used to obeying other people's arrangements, then they will become accustomed to nature.

Digging pits is an individual job, but the villagers who are used to doing physical work have no reason, sweating like rain waving shovels to dig pits, and the rest of the villagers will carry the excavated soil in bamboo baskets and pour it down.

Digging a pit doesn't have much technical content, but it takes a lot of time, when digging to the kind of Cheng dù that Ling Tao requested, the sky has already appeared fish belly white, fortunately at night these three did not appear mutant beasts, I don't know if it is the reason why the black eagle has visited here several times during the day, otherwise this speed does not know how long it will be delayed.

Looking at the sky, Ling Tao said: "We have to speed up, we have run out of time, next, restore the surrounding environment as much as possible."

After the villagers took action, Ling Tao focused on a few villagers and began to decorate the hole that had been dug.

The prepared bamboo pieces are all inserted diagonally down on the cave wall, and they must be firm, which is the key to killing the black eagle, and must not be sloppy.

These bamboo pieces, all about two meters long, and the diameter of the hole is about the same, two centimeters thick, about two fingers wide, is made of bamboo bow-like bamboo pieces, one end has been sharpened, by the villagers with a hammer nailed into the cave wall is almost one meter two or three so far, but to ensure the firm Cheng dù of the bamboo piece, after nailing, will also support the end of the hole with a knife carefully sharpened.

This process took more than an hour, and the final result was that the three-meter-deep hole, one meter deep, from the cave wall obliquely about 45 degrees angle, 'grows' a circle of sharp bamboo pieces, almost every ten centimeters, around the cave wall, and finally forms a funnel-shaped circle, the middle circle is about one meter in diameter.

After doing this, Ling Tao jumped into the hole more than ten times under the unexplained gaze of the villagers, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Ling Tao asked the villagers to bring the prepared rope, made a looper as big as the cave wall, and carefully stuck the bamboo piece in the root of the bamboo piece sticking out of the hole opening, sticking to the cave wall, and the other end was thrown in the hole, and then pulled out from the channel dug below, and pulled out from the other direction.

The rope is a hemp rope that is almost the thickness of an adult's wrist, and it is a rope that Zhou Taigong found in the school that was originally used for tug-of-war.

Then, Ling Tao asked people to find a small branch, put it on the top of the hole, found some grass to hide the hole carefully, and finally, Ling Tao put two arm-thick bamboo poles on the hole, and they were about half a meter together.

By the time we had set them up, the sun had risen over the horizon.

"Huh, it's finally done, with my observation in the past few days, there are eight layers of certainty that I can kill that black eagle, and the other two layers depend on the will of heaven", Ling Tao said secretly in his heart.

Then, he looked at the villagers and said, "Next, the most critical moment, you all go to the bottom of the hill and hide, so that the grass you have prepared will come in handy at this time, cover it on your body, and do not move, lest the black eagle discover that all the plans may be in vain."

"Mr. Ling, don't worry, even if a mutant beast appears in front of us, it won't move," a villager said firmly.

"Okay, now everyone goes down and hides, it seems that if nothing else, then the Black Eagle will come soon, success or failure in one fell swoop", Ling Tao nodded and said.

Then, Ling Tao specifically discussed with Zhou Mancang, he nodded and led more than twenty people to a place at the bottom of the mountain to hide.

"Mr. Ling, aren't you going to hide with us? Wait for the black eagle to come", when the villagers left, they found that Ling Tao was still standing on the top of the mountain, and immediately asked suspiciously.......

(Haha, can you imagine it?) I think there are smart friends who have imagined the mystery of arranging this hole, so I ask for a recommendation...... )
