Chapter 8 Uninvited
After a few days of hard work, in the underground world, a rough "little master's only" brick-laying lounge and kitchen were baked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The dogheads also began to ponder their own residence with great interest, Liu Jingtian directly made a large shop out of mud and told them to paint cats and tigers, and dug holes in the wall as storage space.
"As cannon fodder, you should roll into a pile, and you still want to have two bedrooms and one living room with north and south windows? It would be nice to have a Chase shop! This is still an upgraded version with its own fire kang function. I think that the old man owed a lot of debts, shook the number for two years, and received forty square meters, northwest windows, elevators, rat holes, and affordable housing without the right to trade...... It's all tears!"
Looking at the busy dogheads, Liu Jingtian touched his smooth chin, what should I order for the next science and technology tree? Porcelain burning is not very reliable, and he can only be blind according to the principle. Shouldn't the craftsmanship of wood products be improved?
That is the line of bone-walking tools, stone tools, polished stone tools, bows and crossbows? Maybe you can also refine some charcoal, and the by-product wood tar is said to be quite toxic...... Of course, Liu Jingtian also considered the issue of the loyalty of his subordinates.
But this group of dog heads are all dragon tooth soldiers after all, and after a long time of contact, Liu Jingtian has found a little way - they have some telepathic effect with himself.
And I can still maintain a certain vigilance when I sleep, and it is really superfluous to be afraid.
He maintained the rhythm of being awake for eight days and sleeping for four days, eating and falling asleep hard. The only regret is that on average, 1.5 teeth are extracted per day...... As long as you are willing to extract teeth, the mass production speed of dragon tooth soldiers is actually quite fast. When I woke up, there were already twenty-nine dog heads...... It doesn't seem right, why is there one missing?
A building "fishing trap" is in shambles, the wooden sluice has been smashed, and the wooden stakes supporting the roof of the cave have broken a little, and it has completely stopped. The worst has happened, new species have invaded!
It's an oversized lobster!
The front half of the large lobster can stand upright, standing close to two meters tall, like a lobster version of a centaur!
The most troublesome thing is their carapace, I don't know if they can be invulnerable, but it's okay to bully the dog's head. When the crocodile attacks, it also exposes its fragile mouth, and jamming its mouth with a log is half the victory, but these lobster people use pincers, and a dog's head is lost when they sneak attack.
Now, more than 20 lobster people occupy the "fishing trap", which means that they have placed their home here.
"It seems that there were crocodiles before, and they didn't dare to grab the territory, but we drove the crocodiles away, which is equivalent to having to face all kinds of land grabbing guys by ourselves, which is really a problem. ”
There is nothing there is to do to deal with this amphibious plate infantry, and the disadvantages of relying too much on the venom of the bipedal flying dragon and ignoring the construction of their own force have been exposed, but under the leadership of the wise and martial Liu Jingtian, all the lobsters are clowns, and we will wait to build a Krupp cannon and then settle accounts with the reptiles!
So Liu Jingtian led the dogheads to turn into the wind.
Without the "fishing trap", eating becomes a problem. Since eating all kinds of demonic beast meat, his mouth has been raised, and now he will never do it if he is asked to gnaw trees.
So the kobolds were mobilized again, and several tunnels were dug at the same time, all leading to the river, and this time they had to catch fish in the primitive way - poking with spears.
Liu Jingtian stuffed his teeth with small snacks such as roasted moles and rats, these small things actually tasted good, and the small crispy bones were crunchy, but unfortunately they could not be harvested in large quantities, while inspecting the development value of the riverbank.
The water by the river is shallow, and the grass is not high, so as long as you are careful of the giant birds in the sky, you will not be attacked. It is rare to see the sun, but the kobolds are very nervous, they are burrowing creatures, and they mostly go to the surface at night.
Now there was really no way, the kobolds worked in groups of three, carefully burrowing out of the hole, their big amber eyes narrowed into a slit, and whispered to each other in a dog-like voice.
Of the trio, one is a sentry, one drives away small animals such as water snakes, and the other catches fish with a spear.
I haven't seen a two-legged predator for many years, the native animals are not cunning enough, and the fish are not difficult to catch, although the fish living by the river are generally smaller, but the lack of quality can be compensated for by the quantity.
Liu Jingtian cautiously poked his head out of the cave, enjoying the fresh air with water vapor. This time I went out and found that the banks of the river are quite fertile, and the frogs, shellfish, and small waterfowl everywhere can produce a considerable part of the food, as long as you don't care about their appearance.
At this point, he has no mental burden at all, he is a big foodie from the empire, and he has nothing to eat. It's a pity that such a fertile resource point can't be developed well!
He estimated that as long as he dug holes everywhere and left escape routes, he could collect enough food for himself with these dog heads alone.
But there are two more problems.
First of all, it is better to have the tools at hand to collect this food, and it is better to have a crossbow and fishing rod if it is inefficient to rely on a wooden spear with a bony spear.
Another problem is that this job occupies a very large number of people, but planting dragon tooth soldiers requires huge monster corpses, even if it is a big fish, because small animals and soil cannot be grown, but weapons are still needed to catch monsters......
This is really nonsense, if you have a good weapon, you will not lose the "fishing trap", you don't have to go around in such a big circle to catch frogs - so there is only one truth, and hard fists are the last word!
Well, this time I will definitely climb the tech tree!
The fish, shrimp and crabs by the river have been unlucky these days, not to mention the shells and turtles that can't run fast. Liu Jingtian's Great Demon King's food consumption is almost calculated in tons, and the kilometer-wide riverbank is really a foot high. Even the croaking of frogs is much less......
The Demon King's army plundered the place, leaving no chickens and dogs, and finally returned to the underground after several days and nights - their evil boss hatched a new conspiracy, this time the victim pointed directly at the lobster man.
Then the clanging of the caves began to ring, and the dog-heads picked out the hardest stones and began to make stone knives and axes, and some of them weaved straw ropes there.
"No, you can't shake it out of the hole...... Regardless of the cold weapons at all, these 60-centimeter-tall scumbags of the five scumbags, well, the four scumbags...... Poisoning is not possible, the venom of the bipedal wyvern has long been used up...... It seems that I can only make bows and arrows, and I don't know what kind of wood to use......"
Liu Jingtian's left bite of the chicken crunchy, the right bite of the hairy crab crunchy, thinking about serious questions in his mind.
If it was all up to Liu Jingtian to design weapons, the kobolds didn't know how many detours they would have to take.
But fortunately, their innate instinct still retains one thing - as a weak humanoid creature, almost all kobold tribes rely on bows and crossbows to fight, and these two "skills" are called "handicrafts" in kobold culture, and dragon tooth soldiers can also use them to some extent.
Coupled with Liu Jingtian's indiscriminate command on the side, several rudimentary single bows have been made. Stone knives and animal claws cut the wood into long strips, then roast it and bend it, and the finely woven straw rope is used as a bowstring, and the animal teeth are used as arrows, and the venom of poisonous insects and wood tar are coated on it.
"It's unbelievable that a stone knife can process such a product......?" Looking at the freshly baked weapon, Liu Jingtian couldn't believe it.
Liu Jingtian's body structure can't use a bow, but it's okay to test the tension. It turned out that the best one was only about 5 kilograms, and the trajectory was not good, even if it was tied to a fixed post, it would not be at all close to Meng twenty meters away, and the other ones were even worse.
He thinks it's most likely a difference in wood. But now there is no time, slow work, and meticulous work! The great cause of kobold reproduction cannot be stopped.
So no matter how much it was, I found a kind of tree with a fairly straight trunk and a decent toughness nearby, and used it directly as a bow! The next step was to move the whole tree into the tunnel, and the dogheads used stone tools to cut it into a thick cylinder in the middle and thin at the ends, and began to make weapons in large quantities.
Finally, a ferocious "giant crossbow" was newly baked: on a huge stand (a peeled log tied with straw rope), eight bows were "neatly" lined up, and the bowstrings behind were tied into two groups, which were then combined into one, and finally a relatively strong crossbow bolt was driven.
This "giant crossbow" looks very hideous and mighty, with a primitive and rough atmosphere - the whole is full of stubble, the eight bows are different, and they are also tied with twists and twists, which looks like a postmodern work of art......
"This damn thing, it hurts to look at it...... Fortunately, the old man suddenly remembered another secret weapon, which could be used as a back-up ......."
Experiments have also proved that this thing is quite "improvised": a bow is only 5 kilograms of pounds, coupled with various power transmission losses caused by unreasonable structure, the "giant crossbow" is only equivalent to less than 30 kilograms of tension, and then calculate the energy conversion efficiency, plus a very short pulling distance, such a big guy, can only shoot light arrows (a bow with a short pulling distance is not suitable for firing heavy arrows, and heavy arrows are more suitable for armor piercing), and the accuracy, not to mention it......
But this is the wizarding world, and the teeth of the monsters come with various armor-piercing effects, so it seems that they may be able to break the defense?
Liu Jingtian said, if it works, try it or not, anyway, this divine beast suddenly came up with a killer idea!
Another food gift bag is about to jump into the bowl...... If everything goes according to the script......
The Lobster People - that's the name of the new creatures, and they've only been moving in for a few days when they've found that the ridiculous little kobolds are back.
These little babbling creatures dug a few small holes in the depths of the cave obscenely, and then worked in a mess behind the holes, making a lot of noise.
The lobster people don't take this seriously, although their IQ has always been worse than that of goblins, but everyone's sturdy carapace is not something these little ones can gnaw on, and if they dare to go into the water, everyone doesn't mind adding some dinner.
