Chapter 42: The Hunter's Temporary Residence
"Shh As soon as Catherine's words fell, the girls felt that the world in front of them suddenly became hazy, and in the haze, Catherine seemed to see the pair of eyes again, ordinary eyes with fortitude, those were Nelly's eyes. However, just as she wanted to take a closer look, the intrinsic mental realm was still shattered, and the hiss characteristic of the lizardman sounded in her ears: "I thought it would take at least an hour or two for you to come out." ”
"I think you're really fast. As soon as Catherine turned around, she saw Galantis beside her. Seeing the distance between her and the Lizardman Lady, it was hard for Catherine not to think about what it would be like if she happened to be in the same place as her when she returned to the world from the realm of the mind. Of course, this kind of thing can't happen, when the people in the field return to this space, if there is an obstacle in the position where it appears or the space can't accommodate the person's body, the position that appears will automatically shift, until there is enough space to accommodate the position, but even if there is an answer, the knight girl can't help but think like this in her heart, of course, it's just a naughty fantasy in her heart, and such a stupid question girl will never ask. Turning around, Catherine smiled at Galantis, hugged the big tail stretched out by the lizardman lady and shook it, Catherine looked at Galantis with joy and peace of mind and said, "Sorry to worry you, but don't worry, the three swamp lurkers have all been killed, and we are fine, basically not injured, everything is going very well." But. As soon as you came out, you shocked me, you actually built a temporary residence so quickly, and it is still so early. Are you ready to set up camp?"
Catherine was right, the lizardmen were indeed very fast, and it took six people a little more than fifteen minutes to enter the Pannis's inherent mental realm, and as a result, the prototype of a lizardmen's temporary residence had already appeared in front of the girls. The lizardmen's temporary habitat is unique, built in a wide swamp that covers an area of more than two square kilometers not far from the hunting grounds. The whole area is a bog that can swallow everything, except for the growth of Suogu wood. It's only half a man's tall reed. Theoretically, even lizardmen and swamp monsters can run quickly across such a quagmire. If you stay a little longer, you will be caught in the mud and slowly sink into the mud, let alone camp in the center of the mire, but the lizardmen have built a good-looking camp in such an environment.
"Shhh Galantis spat out his forked tongue and said, "It has become an instinct for us hunters to camp in the wild, hissing, especially in the mire. Hey, the first skill a child learns should be a quagmire camp, and now it takes more than ten minutes. It's already slow. ”
"But you also have to rescue the wounded and clear the battlefield. Catherine shook her head and said, "Add all these things together, and the time we can spend camping is only ten minutes, and we can't do it at this speed." And the way you set up camp is really ...... Artful. ”
Very ingenious indeed, the lizardfolk are experts in swamp life, and their approach to building their camp is entirely prepared for swamps. The camp is built entirely in a wide swamp. But the bottom of the camp is not in direct contact with the mire. A layer of bedding is spaced in between. This layer of bedding is composed of a large number of triangular objects, interlaced with each other like scales, spread on the surface of the swamp. The frame of these objects is made up of three Suogu wooden sticks more than one meter long, which is extremely light in texture, and after being processed by the special technology of the lizardmen, the toughness is greatly increased, and it is difficult to be artificially broken. In the middle of the triangular frame, a thin layer of animal leather is tightly taut, which has also been processed, and appears to be several layers divided horizontally by a whole sheet of leather, so that each layer is as thin as paper, and it is not known how the lizardman did it. Such a triangular wooden frame with leather will not sink even if it is thrown into the water, let alone spread in the mud, and it is difficult to step on this kind of wooden frame, even if you want to sink.
There was not one, but tens of thousands, and because the sticks and leather were extremely light, dozens of hunters in the brigade were responsible for carrying huge packages to hold them, and when they needed to be used, they were distributed to each hunter, and after they were combined, they were staggered and layered in the mire, and then connected in turn to form a moving ground floating on the upper layer of the mire. Of course, if you are not familiar with it, it is easy to fall because of the unstability of your feet, but as long as you have strong enough control over your body, or are used to this way of walking, you will feel very easy to walk.
Above this layer of artificial ground, the center is paved with a thick layer of dried soil, and there are more than a dozen places around the same mud in a circular arrangement, this is the place where the food is cooked, and the source of goods must be separated from the leather sticks below, otherwise it is easy to cause a fire, as for the fuel for cooking food, it is naturally the reeds that were originally covered with mire. There was a wall around the camp, and the raw material of the wall was the wooden shield of the giant shieldmen, and every few meters they poked a wooden shield inward in the mud, and then connected each wooden shield with vines, and the wooden shield was made of wooden sticks behind it, so that a wall was easily completed. As for the inside of the camp, there were no tents, only animal skin sleeping bags, and at night, the lizardmen would burrow into the sleeping bags around the campfire and fall asleep looking at the sky overhead made of Trangokwood branches.
"Hey, come in and sit down, you shouldn't be in such a hurry. Finding that the six people had returned, the old lizard Grannell walked over from the camp, and as soon as he got closer, he saw neatly sized pieces of meat all over the ground, and couldn't help frowning and said: "Is this some special way of handling prey? Such a big prey is so chopped, the taste is a little heavy, and it feels a little too wasteful, and the meat quality of these pieces of meat looks pretty good." ”
"It's a pity that the meat of the swamp lurkers is inedible, it is so poisonous that even the physique of a demigod will feel uncomfortable eating it. Pannis shrugged and kicked the piece of meat under his feet: "Moreover, these pieces of meat have also undergone the baptism of special energy, which can be regarded as some kind of poison." Okay, let's go in and sit down, I still have a lot of questions for you. "To be continued
