Chapter 13 Serious Business

"Create a canal, I heard you right!", several Venetian nezumi were surprised, almost stuffing a tobit goose egg in their mouths, looking at him, a fellow Hawkins, touting his new lord, and the Venetian nezumi couldn't help but show a little envy in their eyes.

"Of course, don't think I'm blowing the bull, tell you, there's food, there's water, and meat!", Hawkins bagged as if he couldn't hold the meat in his mouth, "How about it, are you interested, the lord is now going to make a great move to help us bring a tributary from the Onyx, and now is the time when we are needed!"

"Don't blow it, my Hara can be compared to Doug!", the Venetian rat people unconsciously swelled up in their hearts towards the days of meat, their situation was not good, even the clumsy slave traders looked down on them, they had no skill except to dig holes in the soft wasteland.

But now, someone is willing to take them in, and it's more exciting than any news, "You didn't lie to us!"

"It's a little Doug to lie to you, Venetians never lie!", Hawkins raised his mouse paws high, "Brothers, I still see that we wandered together, so this good thing fell on your heads, as long as it is reported, the lord says it, and I will give you a jerky for free!"

"You really didn't lie to us?"

Hawkins felt that his saliva was about to run dry, and finally brought a few Venetian rat people to the camp, looking at the vast and boundless wilderness in front of him, these of his fellow people did not have the slightest bit of imagination beauty, "How about it, in the future, this will be a big lake, the boss said, to build a water house for us Venetian rat people on it!"

It's definitely a dream!

For these newly arrived Venetian rat people, it feels like their fellow rat has completely degenerated into a liar on a par with humans.

Filthy underground caverns, steaming hot as if steaming buns, hundreds of people huddled together, and a few vicious Medusa warrior guards at the door.

Jerky!

I didn't even see the minced meat, "You're new here?"

"Yes, yes, they are my fellow countrymen!", Hawkins hurriedly leaned over with a smile, responding to Ivy's stern gaze, "There are five in total, Sister Ai, how about it, it's almost!"

"Well, there are more than three hundred people, and the labor force for digging the hole is almost the same!", Ivy casually gestured to the side, and a white miserable skeleton shelf walked over, with a dozen cloth bags hanging on his body, and Ivy took out a piece of it, which was fragrant jerky, "Here you go!", no more, no less, exactly ten.

Hawkins took it with a smile, "I'm right!", and gave him his fellow clansmen one by one, and the remaining five pieces were kicked directly into his pocket.

A few people directly surrounded it in the middle, "I heard that everyone is divided into two pieces!"

Hawkins smiled and said, "Of course, what, don't I need labor fees as a middleman, such a big sun, the skin is almost dry, and I went five miles away to find you, I really think I'm kind-hearted!"

"Yes!"

"There's nothing to do, if you want jerky, just learn my way to do it, go out to find someone, tell you, as long as the boss can dig holes, don't be able to get jerky when the time comes, blame me for not reminding you!", Hawkins seemed to be reprimanding his subordinates, looked up at the red sun, and thought about the jerky in his waist bag, and quickly stepped out.

Ivy stayed in the innermost cave, and Li Zhenshu casually threw all the cloth bags on a skeleton, which were full of dried barbecue.

"Boss, if it goes on like this, it will run out sooner or later, you can't afford to feed so many mouths alone!", Ivy was puzzled, how could the valuable jerky be cheap for those useless rats, these jerky can recruit a few warriors.

Indeed, the jerky is declining faster than expected, and the savings of the past three years are about to bottom out before they can be supported for two days, and so many mouths are idle.

Dig a river out!

What a grotesque idea, how many creatures are pure in the wasteland, no one has ever dared to imagine digging a river two thousand miles away, all they can do is to migrate, migrate, leave this abominable place as soon as possible, or bury their bodies in this wasteland.

"How many people!"

"It's almost five hundred!", Ivy admired Hawkins's speed of pulling people, he almost recruited all the Venetian rat people in this wasteland, those rats were definitely the guides in this wasteland, and they used their imagination to recruit a few pangolins when there were no rat people.

Even a few halflings who stayed in the cave came to make up the numbers, and these creatures, which were barely visible to the eye, could indeed be included in the team of digging holes.

"A lot!", Li Zhen said with a faint smile.

"Are you still in the mood to laugh, do you know how powerful these mouths are, they're about to empty you!", Ivy glanced at Lao Li and looked solemn, "To be honest, Li, it's time to do it now, once these people know that you don't have anything, they will disperse in an uproar! Do you have a concept in your head about digging the river?"

"No!", Li Zhenshu said directly, "I had such an idea at the beginning, but I don't know anything about digging a river!"

"Then you recruit so many rats!"

"Shall I get enough people first, why, just dig in the ground?"

"Underground?", Ivy smiled wryly, "Do you know the texture of the distribution, as well as the height and level, the direction of the Agate River, the water ripples, can you figure these out?"

Li Zhen kept shaking his head, "You say, what should I do!"

"Me?", Ivy was momentarily speechless, "This seems to be brought up by you!"

"Okay, I don't understand, then someone should understand!"

"It's someone, the Sea Clan might understand something, but?"

"Sea Clan?", Li Zhen's eyes lit up, remembering that he had also captured a Naga, this was a Sea Clan warrior, just in handy, he led Ivy directly to the cave where Naga was held, Medusa was not polite to this captive, and the rope directly tied it up to prevent it from escaping.

"You're finally here!", before Lao Li could speak, Naga preemptively said, "Quick, give me some water!"

"Water, what do you want water for?"

"Nonsense, we sea tribes can't leave the water for a long time, hurry up, those rats of yours have emptied all the water bags on my body!"

Naga said breathlessly, her eyes full of fire, and she didn't have the slightest hint of the tiger aura she had seen for the first time.

Li Zhenshu wantonly gave her some water, and she poured it up unceremoniously, "Okay, the water is also drunk, shouldn't we talk about something serious!"

"What's the matter?"

"Hmm!", Li Zhen thought with his chin trembling, "I sold you for a few dollars, you see, I need to buy some water and food for my territory!"

"Sell me?", Naga chuckled directly, "Okay, I wish I could have suffocated in your hot flashes hole!"

Ivy was a little surprised, there were still people who were willing to be slaves, but I think Naga was born a thunderbolt warrior, with the ability to control the thunderbolt chains, and indeed if she sells it, she will be raised with good food and drink, and it will definitely not be like this.

Li Zhenshu stepped forward and stared at Naga carefully, "I'm afraid you didn't hear me clearly, I want you to go out and sell your body to make money, you know that there are many men in the wasteland who are very, and you are still like this?"

"Get out!"

Li Zhen's eardrums trembled a few times, "Didn't I discuss it with you, you are so precious, I want to ask for your opinion!"

"What's the opinion?"

"What kind of man do you like!"

Naga's eyes were completely angry at this time, "Even if I die, I won't let you get your wish!"

Li Zhen sighed, "There's no way, you are also a mouth, and you are a slave I personally captured, I should always let me see you useful!"

"I'll be in the Lightning Chain!"

"I'm sorry, I don't have a mage here for the time being!"

"I can shoot prey from a distance of 100 meters!"

"There are no ghosts in the wasteland, how can there be prey!"

"I can help you protect your territory!"

"Do you think there's going to be an invasion here?

"I....!", Naga tried to figure out his true value, his ability was definitely a guest in any territory, but the dark human in front of him didn't put his ability on him at all, "What do you want me to do, except for those dirty deals!"

"Will you dig a river?"

"Digging the river?", Naga's eyes widened, and he didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Li Zhenshu's gourd.
