Chapter 24: Chestnuts and Tree Monster Materials
Qasim felt a little pain when he heard this, and the 32 people wanted to give out a dozen silver coins, but they still had to pretend to be happy and greet the workers.
"Sir, eat some chestnuts, these chestnuts are quite delicious." A worker with a bloody face came up with a pot of chestnuts and said.
"What's wrong with your face?" asked Kasim with concern instead of taking the chestnut.
"We were all beaten by these chestnuts, and these chestnuts were like animals, and we ran fast with hard work, otherwise our faces would be even worse. If it weren't for the fact that these chestnuts hurt too much, our brothers would have wanted to pick up some more chestnuts and cook them. The worker said.
Leon took a chestnut, opened it and put it in his mouth, and it tasted like a normal chestnut, slightly sweet.
"These chestnuts are all normal chestnuts, it's weird. Leon said.
"Chief Leon, what do you think we should do?" said Kassem.
"Get me a thicker quilt. Leon said.
Soon, a worker took out a thick quilt from the tent, and Li Ang took it, the smell was not very good, and the quilt of these workers was really unpleasant.
Li Ang still put the quilt on, and it was important to work.
"I'll go check it out first. Leon said as he approached the door of the sawmill.
The workers all came over curiously and asked in a low voice, "Who is this? Isn't he afraid of being beaten by chestnuts?"
Hamid, the foreman, said, "This is the lord who went to the city today to invite to deal with monsters. ”
"It turns out that the adults from the city must have a way to solve the chestnut tree monster. ”
“......”
The workers were talking.
Leon walked into the gate of the sawmill and didn't see any chestnuts, but he also sensed that something was wrong, the yard was large but quiet, and not even a single insect could hear the chirping, which was very abnormal.
"Bang bang bang...... Bang bang ......"
A very small voice came, but it couldn't hide from Leon's ears.
As he took a few more paces forward, a large patch of chestnuts jumped at him, all with eyes and mouths, but no limbs.
Leon wrapped the quilt tightly and rushed in the direction where the chestnut came from, and the raindrops of chestnuts jumped and pounced on him.
Most of the chestnuts had bitten into the quilt, and a few had bitten into his arms and legs.
Leon's body tensed, and he shook the chestnuts off as he ran.
After all, eating so much monster food not only increases strength, but also has rough skin and thick meat, which is far better than ordinary people.
His hands were like two fans, constantly patting the oncoming chestnuts.
After about a minute, Leon approached the source of the chestnut, the revitalized chestnut tree.
A large chestnut tree with yellow leaves and bark, and a pair of eyes and a mouth at the root.
"Treants?"
A species flashed through Leon's mind.
"Ah......h
Leon dodged quickly, and as soon as he landed on his feet, several branches rolled out of the ground and whipped at him.
At the same time, a lot of chestnuts jumped and pounced on him.
Leon looked at the surrounding terrain for a while, and after remembering it, he ran wildly the way he came, the chestnut bite was too painful.
As he ran out of the sawmill, he grabbed a few chestnuts, which turned into ordinary chestnuts when they reached the gate.
Leon pinched open a chestnut with his hand, and the white chestnut flesh exuded a fragrant sweetness.
"Chief Leon, are you alright?" asked Qasim.
"It's fine, it's just bitten a little, I just went in, and the chestnut tree can't move.
If you only hold a basket or pot on the periphery, you can harvest chestnuts in a steady stream, and these chestnuts will become ordinary chestnuts outside the sawmill.
If you were to use it as a sawmill in another place, I don't think the chestnuts here would be any worse than furniture. Leon said as he unfolded the chestnuts he was holding in his palm.
When Kasim heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Leon, I have heard from the elders of the family that there were similar trees that have become monsters in the past, and they will become ordinary trees again in a few days. ”
"That's a pity. Leon said, "Mr. Qasim, you have a few workers dressed in thick letters to attract those chestnuts on the periphery, and I will go and cut down this tree." ”
Qasim said, "Okay, Section Chief Li Ang must pay attention to safety. ”
"I will. Leon said.
Qasim walked up to the workers and said, "Now we need a few people to attract chestnuts, just on the periphery, and give each one 10 copper coins." ”
The workers didn't react at first, but when they heard that 10 copper coins were given, they all rushed to sign up.
Qasim picked ten sturdy workers, and this time cost him 1 silver coin, but he was not so distressed at the thought that he had already spent more than a gold coin.
Several workers were organized, all wrapped in thick quilts and with thick clothes on their heads, looking bloated.
Leon took the axe in his hand and said, "Attract these chestnuts outside, and I will not go and cut down the chestnut tree until most of them have pounced on you."
Be sure to hold out until I cut down the chestnut trees before I can quit the sawmill. ”
Qasim continued: "Have you heard what Section Chief Li Ang said clearly, if anyone can't hold out and cut down the chestnut tree, they will retreat."
Not only are there no 10 copper coins, but there will also be no 50 copper coins that were previously issued to you. ”
A few workers wanted to return when they couldn't resist, but they also dispelled their thoughts, thinking about what they said about 60 copper coins.
After all ten workers entered the sawmill, a large number of chestnuts pounced on the workers.
However, the workers were wrapped from head to toe in thick quilts and clothes, and they were fine for the time being.
A lot of chestnuts were piled up in front of ten workers.
Leon saw that there were fewer chestnuts jumping from the sawmill, and ran quickly towards the chestnut tree with an axe and a thick quilt under his armpit.
A minute later, Leon approached the chestnut tree, and only a handful of chestnuts jumped from the canopy and pounced on him, threatening him in little way.
It's just that the roots of the chestnut tree must be very painful when they are pumped on people, and it looks like the roots of the tree are as thick as arms, even if a person with knight-level strength like him is pumped, it will not be good to be pumped.
He tied the quilt around his waist again, and if he couldn't avoid the whipping of the tree roots, he would use the back wrapped in the quilt to resist the pain.
Leon didn't observe much, but ran to the chestnut tree with an axe, and cut it down with an axe.
Three roots were drawn from his feet at the same time, and he quickly jumped out of the way.
Jumping around the tree and chopping down the chestnut tree, "Oops!"
Despite his repeated caution, Leon was struck by the roots, and a sharp pain came from his ribs, and he felt that the bones were probably cracked.
But the chestnut trees had already been cut down by two-thirds of the trees.
He jumped out of range of the root whip, waving his other arm to chase away the biting chestnuts.
The two meatballs he had cooked earlier could come in handy, he threw away the axe, took out a cloth bag from his coat pocket, opened the kraft paper and took out a meatball and ate it in one bite.
After chewing a few times quickly, I swallowed it, and my hungry stomach was suddenly full.
At the same time, the exhaustion of the body is gone, and the energy is abundant.
The most important thing is that the pain in the ribs gradually decreases, but the recovery effect of the meatballs is not as good as the meatballs made by the octopus sea monster.
He kept slapping the chestnuts with the quilt, and after waiting for a few minutes, he felt some itching on his ribs, which should be that the bone crack had been cured.
It's been a few minutes, and the workers won't be able to hold on any longer.
Leon rewrapped the quilt and rushed forward with his axe to cut down the chestnut tree.
Fortunately, the chestnut tree does not have the ability to recover, but the infected monsters are generally not too strong and can be dealt with.
"Bang bang bang...... Click!"
With Leon's last axe, the chestnut tree fell.
The chestnuts no longer jumped out, and the roots of the trees stopped pumping.
Li Ang touched his back, he was not in a hurry to dodge just now, and he used his back to carry the whip of the tree root, and there was some burning pain.
After eating a meatball again, my stomach was a little stretched, but the pain was obviously felt to recover quickly.
Meatballs can indeed recover from injuries.,But it's just that the food is too strong.,I don't know what monster materials are strong in recovering from injuries.,Eat less hungry food.。
At the door of the sawmill, ten workers were miserable, and despite the thick quilts and thick clothes, they were still covered with blood from the gnawing of chestnuts.
"There are no chestnuts!" shouted one of the workers who were watching from the outside.
When a worker wrapped in a thick quilt heard this, he felt that there were no chestnuts like raindrops, and he carefully poked his head out of the thick clothes and said, "There really is no more!"
"Could it be that Lord Leon has succeeded?"
While everyone was waiting in a little hurry, Li Ang appeared in their sight with an axe.
"The chestnut monster tree was cut down by me, and you're all safe. Leon said loudly.
"Great! The Chestnut Tree Monster has been killed!"
"Great!"
“......”
All the workers cheered, especially the ten workers wrapped in thick quilts, who looked like they were covered in blood after taking off their thick quilts and clothes.
"Hamid told the workers to go down and apply the medicine. ”
"Quick, follow me to apply the medicine. Hamid said to the workers.
Qasim greeted Leon and said, "Section Chief Leon, are you okay?" ”
Leon said, "Well, it's okay, it's okay to take a rest." ”
Qasim said, "Great, it's great that you're okay, Chief Leon." ”
"I have cut down the chestnut tree, and Mr. Qasim has to send a few workers to burn it, and I need the materials for it," Leon said. ”
Qasim said: "No problem, Section Chief Li Ang, I'll go and arrange for the workers to do it." ”
After a while, several workers poured barrels of oil on the roots and body of the chestnut tree, and then lit a fire.
Flames suddenly rose into the sky, and the blazing flames forced everyone away.
When the flames had passed, there were two round centers on the ground, and a branch that was not on fire.
Leon pulled out the unignited materials with an axe and said, "Mr. Qasim, these are the materials I want, help me find a bag." ”
Hamid bowed down and said with a smile, "My lord, I'll go get a bag for you." ”
"Good!" Leon nodded and said to Qasim, "You're a clever foreman. ”
Qasim smiled and said, "Chief Leon, I thank you for your compliment on behalf of Hamid. ”
“......”
After they had been talking and laughing for a while, Hamid trotted to bring a bag.
Hamid took the bag to Leon and said, "My lord, the bag you wanted." ”
"Thank you!" Leon said.
"No, you're welcome, sir. Hamid stuttered a little.
He had never seen such an amiable adult and say thank you to him.
Leon put all the ingredients in a bag, the branches could be used to make skewers, and he didn't know what to do with the round segments.
If you can't bite if you eat it, do you have to split it into sections to make skewers?
Qasim smiled and said, "Chief Leon, I have already asked someone to arrange a dinner party at my manor, and I hope you can come." ”
Li Ang also smiled and said, "It's an honor." ”
