230. Salamander
The old village chief reached out and grabbed a handful of volcanic ash from the ground, and asked Surdak suspiciously, "Can this thing be used to build a wall?" ”
"Almost, you have to add some lime, you can try it first, and you won't lose anything anyway." Surdak said, he is not sure, who knows what difference the volcanic ash in this world will be, if he patted his chest and made a guarantee, and then the volcanic ash will not be used at all, wouldn't it be a slap in the face.
The old village chief felt that Surdak had not said what he had said, and that there would be nothing to lose if he tried, so he shouted to a young villager: "Oh, Kakaro, you put this ash in a bag and carry it back to the village." ”
The villager named Kakaro was clearing the stone slabs, he swept aside all the volcanic ash covering the stone slabs, and then spread the blanket he carried with him on the stone slabs, and when he heard the old village chief's order, he asked the old village chief with a confused face: "Uncle Bright, why do we have to carry this thing to the village?" ”
The old village chief thought for a while, and didn't know how to explain it, so he glared at Kakaro with some irritability, and reprimanded: "Let you carry it, you just do it, where did so much nonsense come from." ”
The young villager immediately ran back, found a cloth bag containing dry food, took out the little dry food left in it, and put aside a bag full of volcanic ash at the order of the village chief.
At this time, a villager ran back panting and reported to the old village chief with an exaggerated expression:
"Uncle Bright, there seems to be a limestone iguana over there......"
The villagers were already lying on the stone slabs wrapped in blankets, and when they heard this shout, they all looked at the villager, and some people couldn't help but taunt: "Kakro, you can also find the gray rock iguana when you run out to relieve your hands?" Why didn't you let the iguanas bite your dick off! ”
"Hehe......"
Everyone burst into laughter.
The villagers, who were already ready to sleep, got up one after another, ready to take the pole and follow the old village chief to catch iguanas.
The old village chief looked at the sky and only said, "It's so late, they get into the cracks in the stones, we can't find them at all, let's rest first, tomorrow morning I'm talking!" ”
In the past few days in the Paglos Mountains hunting limestone iguanas, almost all of them have lost a lot of weight, and the skin on their bodies has also been sunburned to shed a layer of old skin, it can be said that the hunting here is quite hard, the old village chief naturally has his own considerations, and did not let the villagers continue to hunt iguanas at night.
The old village chief patted Kakro on the shoulder, told him to take a break as well, and comforted him: "The limestone iguanas we caught this time are enough, of course, it would ......be good to catch some more."
……
When it was dawn, Surdak was suddenly gently awakened, and there was a faint smell of burnt paste floating in the air, and the inside of his mouth was a little dry.
There was a thick layer of gray clouds floating in the sky, and traces of dust fell from the sky, all over his body and face.
Surdak saw that it was the old village chief, and was about to speak, but the old village chief held his mouth down, put his finger to his lips, and signaled him to silence.
Surdak hurriedly got out of his sleeping bag, the old village chief had already rushed to wake up the next villager, there were two villagers in charge of the vigil hiding behind a huge rock, thinking about the 'pustule' volcano to watch, Surdak walked over lightly, hiding behind the rocks and looking over there.
A monitor lizard covered in flames was lying in the ash of the volcano, the lizard was nearly three meters long, and its body looked like a short-nosed alligator, but it was thicker, with very sharp claws, and a pair of eyes as magnificent as rubies, and it looked like it was devouring a pale yellow stone, and its mouth full of sharp teeth opened and closed up and down, and a large yellow rock was swallowed into its stomach.
Surdak had never seen a lizard feeding, and the scene in front of him completely subverted his perception of lizards, do lizards need to eat stones?
A woke villager approached in a daze, and when he saw the huge lizard burning with flames, sitting on the ground, eyes hooked, cooing in his throat, and crawling backwards with his hands and feet, obviously frightened by the big lizard covered in flames.
"What the hell is that big guy?" The young villager asked in horror as he lay behind the stones.
Before anyone could answer, the villagers, who were lying on the rocks to monitor the lizard's movements, jumped down from the boulders and said eagerly, "It seems to have seen us." ”
There are also villagers shouting: "Get out of here quickly......
Surdak saw that the big lizard just turned its head to look this way, and then ignored it, and continued to gnaw on the pale yellow rocks there. He wanted to call out to the villagers, but the scene was chaotic, no one wanted to listen to him, and the old village chief could only call all the villagers to gather and bring their luggage and not run away.
When they ran two kilometers from the rock wall and saw that the big lizard had not caught up, the villagers stopped breathlessly next to a crack in the rock, ready to rest for a while before continuing on their way.
Surdak stopped, found the old village chief who was counting the personnel, and said seriously to the old village chief, "I think I should have a way to deal with that big guy." ”
When the old village chief heard Surdak say this, his eyes suddenly opened as wide as a brass bell, and he said to Surdak in a fierce voice: "Give up this dangerous thought, little Dak, it is a full-grown salamander!" ”
"I'm also a knight." Surdak patted the shield behind him, revealing a look of confidence.
At this moment, the villagers' courage had already been broken by the salamander, and their faces were devoid of fighting spirit.
Surdak said to the old chief, "You just need to mark your way, and when I kill the big guy, skin it, and get on my horse, I should soon catch up with you." ”
"Those who are willing to help stay, and those who are not willing to risk carrying the graystone iguana back!" Chief Bright said to the surrounding villagers.
When the villagers heard the old village chief say this, they stood behind the old village chief and made it clear that they did not want to face the big lizard again.
Only Charlie and Luke and a few other young men hesitated for a moment, walked up to Surdak, and asked Surdak with a hunting bow on his back, "Tell me how we can help you?" ”
Surdak did not refuse, but patted the shoulders of several young people, and said to Charley: "I have a bag of stainless steel arrows here, you can cut off the arrows of the wooden arrows and replace them with this, you don't expect the wooden arrows to shoot through the skin of the salamander." ”
He took out a bag of stainless steel arrows from his magic waist bag, asked the young men to transform their arrows first, and then took off the alloy bow behind him, handed it to Charlie, and said to him, "Charlie, you take this alloy bow first, I won't need it for the time being." ”
Surdak handed the 'Water Gathering Technique' magic scroll to the old village chief and said, "Uncle Bright, you take everyone back first, it won't be long before we catch up." ”
The old village chief did not hesitate, nodded and said, "Be smart, we will wait for you in front ......"
