Chaoyang Island, early morning, indigenous base.

The day after the wash, Marcus slept well and finally got out of bed.

"Heh——!" stretched, and Marcus inadvertently noticed the ring on his finger again.

"Damn, it's not a dream—" Marcus tried to remove the ring, but after several unsuccessful attempts, he dismissed the idea and walked out of the room in a muttering voice, just in time to meet the bald head who was busy inside and out.

"Boss, you're finally awake, I just counted the number of people, we had 1,200 natives at the beginning, and after this battle, we lost a total of 20 natives, and more than 200 wounded..." Chief, what are we going to do with these captives?"

"That's what we've lost? It's good, it seems that our advanced weapons and tactics have worked. Marcus was very satisfied with this numerical report, "Don't worry about the captives, as long as I perform my 'miracle' again, these more than 800 wild bees will still circle around me? ”

"Also, help me find the 'island flower' of this Chaoyang Island, and choose the most beautiful female aboriginese to be my maid. Finally, Marcas did not forget to mention it.

"Yes, sir!" the bald head received the order, and ran with the interpreter Tim to the natives camp.

"Come and see this shameless old man, he's still looking for a woman when he's old. A strange voice came to my ears. Following the sound, Marcus noticed a low gray groundhog on the edge of the grass, which was chewing its mouth, standing about 30 centimeters tall, and grasping a fruit with its two front paws.

After a while, there were more marmots, and several of them gathered in a small nest of grass, and they were of different sizes, the smallest was only about 10 centimeters, probably a whole family of all ages.

"Is he the new owner here, I hope he has a habit of snacking..."

"It's so ugly, look at the color of the coat on his face, Huang Bulaji's malnutrition..."

"Dirt... The groundhog was talking??! "Marcus suspected that he hadn't woken up yet, slapped his head a few times, then pinched himself again, and screamed that he realized that it was not a dream.

"What kind of monkey is this, like masochism..."

"Maybe it's mentally ill, I think we can move..."

"You're mentally ill!" a frustrated Marcus snorted and rushed over with the dagger that rolled up his trousers. It's the first time I've been ridiculed by a groundhog for so long in my life.

"Ah!!" The marmots screamed in fright, and quickly burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

"Come on, come out of here, you crazy rats!" Marcus pounced in a rage, frantically thrusting his dagger into the grass, only to find that the marmots had dug deep holes.

"Damn it, bad luck!" Marcus stood up helplessly, his face, hair, and clothes covered in mud and looking very embarrassed.

After taking a few breaths, Marcus walked to the side of the lake to wash his face, but unexpectedly heard a few strange noises.

"Gollum, this monkey is blocking where we sleep......"

"Gollum, get him away, even if he accidentally steps on him, he's unlucky......"

"Who!" Marcus pulled out his dagger and looked around, but found no creature.

"Gollum!" a burst of bubbles bubbled up in the water, and two 1.5-ton black-armored hippos rushed out quickly, causing Marcus to retreat one after another.

The black-armored hippopotamus did not move forward after rushing out of the water, but only turned in a half circle and lay down, shaking their ears and tails, and they did not seem to be too aggressive, on the contrary, they just liked to take a lazy nap in a damp place.

The body of this black-armored hippopotamus is covered with a thick layer of skin, the skin is blue-black, the texture is similar to that of shiny iron armor, there are brick-red markings on it, and there is almost no hair on the body except for some short hairs on the tail. Its skin is extraordinarily thick, with a layer of fat on the inside, which allows it to float effortlessly out of the water and even allow it to float on ocean currents for months if it wants to. The hippopotamus has no sweat glands on its skin, but it does have other glands that secrete an anti-magical substance and prevent insect bites. Incidentally, this tonnage-wise creature is immune to any magical attacks and has few natural predators as adults, but its only weakness is that when exposed to air, the skin of the hippopotamus evaporates much more than other mammals, and for this reason, the hippopotamus cannot stay in water or in a damp habitat for long periods of time to prevent dehydration.

After a while, the conversation became noisy, and one after another, there were large waves of black armor hippos ashore, and after a rough count, there were more than 100 members of this huge group of black armor hippos.

After they came ashore, they found a piece of land and lay down, eavesdropping on their topics, nothing more than saunas, baths and afternoon tea, and the days were very pleasant.

Looking at this group of honest hippos who are very energetic in fart, suddenly a bold idea came to Makas's mind, and then I don't know how many islands need to be captured, if this group of black-armored hippos can be included in its banner, and then formed into a black-armored hippopotamus cavalry team, then dominating this sea area will be just around the corner!
