Chapter 47 The Coconut Trees on the Beach of the Sea
But the secret passage is really hard to find, and it is still in the half-collapsed ruins, even with the magical nose of Ushiida, the progress is still slow. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the end, the golden thighs Tesfil couldn't stand it anymore, so he first used shrinkage to clean up a large piece of garbage, and then prophesied magic: 'Detect the secret door'!
Niu Jingtian sighed, this magic is so easy to use! It is not too convenient to use it for tomb robbery!
The passage is located very low, at the lowest level of the castle, buried in a pile of rubble, and feels more like a cellar passage. A few men lit torches, carefully entered it, and in a few steps they reached the bottom, a rough stone chamber.
In the center of the room, a blood-red magic portal, emitting an ominous light, slowly rotated.
"Where do I think I've seen this thing before?" several people came to the idea.
Instead, Tesfil decisively threw a magic spell at it: 'Scout Portal'.
"Uh...... I knew it was going to happen...... Do you still remember the portal that was blocked by us in the Thousand Caves and Hills?"
"Of course...... Well, it never spit out, and when it was full of traps, it forgot about it. ”
"These two doors are paired and can be connected to each other. Of course, there is a limit to the number of things that can be teleported by this door, and there should be no excess per day. ”
This should be good news, although the throughput of this portal is not large, it is not suitable for large armies to carry out raids, but it can also save a lot of manpower by transferring some materials every day.
It seems that even if the castle is to be demolished, it is necessary to keep a tunnel entrance secretly, and something as tall as a portal will always come in handy.
The expedition that lasted more than a month was over, and snow was falling in the sky, and the coldest time in the kingdom of Trem had arrived.
Except for a few dog heads who made it through the portal with supplies, the others made the long way back, and along the way, a few travelers were in high spirits - there was nothing more joyful than a winter holiday to the warm seaside!
Ushiida has a hard time saying that it is a harbor, but I did not say that there are coconut trees on the beach, and it seems that there are only mudflats and mangroves...... But he didn't dare to say one more word, everyone was so highly motivated, they would be beaten if they said one more word, right?
But after a few busy months, there were too many benefits, and he privately measured his height, well, measured his body length - not counting the tail, it was already seventy-two centimeters!
Four months has grown so much, congratulations!
Pinch your fingers and calculate: When it grows to 30 meters, the old man can destroy the world! Now it is only 29 meters and 28 centimeters, and there is not much left!
However, these days, I only dare to eat six or seven minutes a day, which is really difficult. When will you be able to mix until you are full?
It's ridiculous to say, he still doesn't know where his limit food limit is, and there is no one left.
It's not too stupid, just blame this unscientific stomach for not playing cards according to the rules.
To eat a full five, you only need meat that weighs as much as your body, and if you replace the meat with grain, you have to double it. But it's too hard to be full, just keep yourself sane, so that you don't go crazy hungry and gnaw on trees.
Since the last world, he nibbled on flowers and plants once at the beginning of the crossing, and he never wanted to come a second time, and the taste of celery leaves in his mouth was really enough.
When you eat six minutes full, you will reach twice your body weight, and this is limited to meat.
After eating seven points full, it skyrocketed to four times its weight, nearly 100 kilograms of meat. I have only experienced it during the bumper harvest, which is enough for an ordinary kobold to eat for a year.
This is very terrible -- it is actually an exponential power level jumping up! Although I have not enjoyed the legendary eight or nine points of satiety, it can be guessed that eight points of satiety is estimated to cost 200 kilograms of meat, and nine points of satiety is 400 kilograms, which is very full...... Close to a ton......
So the question is, after Ushiida grows to 30 meters long, how much does he weigh, and how much does he eat?
Later, even an optimistic person like Ushiida was a little misanthropic...... The old man turned out to be a pest that destroys the food chain!
Therefore, some people are desperately pulling out their teeth to make dragon tooth soldiers, which is a last resort.
While the foodies were calculating their own food expenses, others were not idle. Except for passing through the town of Saka, when he was watched by humans, the kobold army, the journey was quite smooth.
Humanity has begun to rebuild the town of Saka on a large scale, and the terrain here is dangerous, as long as the Swallowing Rock River Bridge is stuck, there is no need to worry about the demon army emerging from the rear. It seems that they plan to wait until after the autumn harvest to carry out large-scale transfers.
The traversers also began to calculate how many people they needed to arrange to stay in the Thousand Caves and Hills.
Xu Ping'an analyzed that it takes 200 miners, 100 logging teams, plus 100 people to burn charcoal, make steel, and 100 artificial muskets, which can form a gun production line, and it is the minimum.
In addition, my hometown also raised a lot of demon spiders for collecting venom, demon worms for collecting hair, plus a group of captive degenerates and demon believers, these guys are all good craftsmen and hard laborers, of course, they have to be raised, which will leave two hundred dog-headed guards and herdsmen.
Then, in order to deal with the emergency, it is necessary to leave a company of musketeers, and in the future, it is necessary to communicate with the northern seaports, and to arrange a transport team, all of which require a thousand kobolds.
"It's only a thousand dogheads? no problem, now the kobold has risen to three thousand three, and there are still hundreds of corpses of the fallen who haven't had time to move, I remember, the north needs a lot of timber to build ships, so leave 500 more dog heads, half of them join the tree cutting team, and one office joins the mining team, in the future, shipbuilding is estimated to be very scrap iron. ”
Tesfield: "Wait, what about the nitrate field I designed? At least a hundred people, right?"
Niu Ida: "Well, it doesn't seem that too many people will be needed for mining, so I will give you a hundred people." However, I think that the Thousand Caves and Hills are too poor to cut down trees and make iron, and it is more convenient to move to the harbor for other industries, so you might as well add another nitrate field in Samri Harbor. ”
Guan Renxiu's very complicated pyrite refining sulfur project is still being explored, so don't mention it.
Xu Ping'an felt that there was nothing wrong with this kind of distribution, and only mentioned one last thing: "I don't have any other requirements, it's just that these kobolds are always half-soldiers and half-workers, and they have to be pulled to the battlefield at every turn, which is not good for technological progress, there should be professional producers." ”
"What you said makes sense, in the future, the workers of the steel mills, blacksmiths, carpenters, and herdsmen will no longer serve in the army, but there is still regular military training, so be prepared. ”
As a result, the number of kobolds who finally returned to the 'Lizard Fortress' was more than 1,300, and the number was steadily increasing - someone was still pulling out his teeth and beckoning the dog's head, and the corpses of the fallen were enough. The sea of stars in Ushiida is finally about to begin.
Amid the cheers of several traversers, the 'beach', 'sea', and 'coconut trees', the mighty army of kobolds marched out, and the fleet threw out hundreds of meters long.
This swamp route has been running back and forth four times, the road signs along the way have greatly saved time, and there is a winged foodie in the sky to lead the team, and the kobold rows the 'big wooden basin with keel', day and night in three shifts, less than a week, back to the lizard fortress after a two-month absence, as far as the eye can see, the field is already a new green.
On the way, several traversers endured the harassment of mosquitoes, ate dry and hard dry food, endured insomnia on the rickety boat, and came to the warm seashore with great will......
The endless brown mud flats are covered with large and small dead branches and leaves, fish bones and shells. From time to time, bubbles appear under your feet, and then, all kinds of strange-shaped crabs and shrimp crickets crawl out and burrow into them.
The gray and yellow sea water slapped wave after wave, and it became a foam all over the ground on the mud stall, and there was a strong smell of sea.
Several traversers stood by the sea in a daze, looking into the distance in a daze.
Niu Jingtian, who had been hiding in the distance for a long time, was still not at ease in the end, and cautiously came over: "Hehe, hello everyone, why haven't you spoken for a long time, are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat, Kuku Kuku~"
"That's what you say, the beach, the sea, the coconut palms?"
Niu Ida pondered: "Your word is inaccurate, I'm talking about the beach, not the beach! Also, I didn't say coconut trees, I remember talking about mangroves, right?"
He pointed into the distance—there was a large mangrove forest, densely packed with aerial roots that no man of normal size could get into.
A coquettish shout: "Call me!"
Countless hands and feet stretched out, and Niu Jingtian was pressed into the mud, and there was a round of inhumane oppression.
Probably because the scales of the foodie were too hard, a few people beat them up and then stopped, Brother Long said, there is no sense of accomplishment in the fight, why don't you shout a few Ya Butterfly.
Although Niu Jingtian felt that he was wronged, he was still a little weak-hearted. While chewing something, he said in a low voice: "I don't know why, you don't seem to be in a good mood? I found that the shrimp crickets on this beach are delicious, why don't you catch a few for everyone to make up for it......"
As he spoke, his paws did not stop, and soon a large shrimp cricket was dug out of the mud flat under him.
Tesfield: "What did you chew on in your mouth?"
"The scientific name is mantis shrimp, and some places are called pipi shrimp and shrimp crawlers......
Another coquettish shout: "Call me!"
Another round of inhumane oppression......
The lizard camp is developing very well, under the leadership of 004 Jack and 009 Ruth, the four hundred kobolds left behind have cultivated a large field, about 300 acres, and with the help of the locals, they have obtained enough seeds from the ruins and wasteland, and even many survivors have moved their homes nearby.
After all, it's a much safer place than the wilderness.
The bigger progress is the small shipyard by the sea, 005 Titanic honestly carried out the original task - to collect wood and copy local ships.
At present, four three-meter rowing boats and two five-meter rowing boats have been built, and they are challenging the dhow fishing boats. It's a pity that there are not a few blacksmiths, and the iron material is even more insufficient, and now these ships are half-finished, a bunch of parts, arranged in the shape of a ship.
