Chapter 27: Werewolves
The location of Apanda Village is very special, belonging to one of the four major kingdoms of human beings, Qifeng Country, in the southernmost part of Qifeng Country, backed by the Iron Ridge Mountains, west of the Luna Empire ruled by werewolves, south of the Cat People, Rabbit People, Silver Fox People and other relatively weak Tak tribe composed of Ortra Kingdom, north of the endless sea.
Looking at it this way, Apanda Village happens to be on the border of the three kingdoms, and there are rich resources in the Iron Ridge Mountain Range, even if Lin Fan doesn't know much about business, he can also see that Apanda Village has a lot of room for development.
This discovery made Lin Fan excited, and he believed that with the mage eyes he possessed, coupled with the knowledge that did not belong to this planet, he would definitely be able to make a difference in this land!
However, only by becoming a high-ranking apprentice mage can you have your own territory. We should also think carefully about how to develop a barren village. This can only be done slowly.
Lin Fan suppressed this thought in his heart and began to think about the problems facing the village now.
Although the Blood Flame Tiger has been killed, there are still many large beasts roaming the surrounding woods, threatening the villagers. The problem of food has been alleviated by the last hunt of the Bloody Flame Tiger, but it has not been completely solved, and it is about to enter the harsh winter of food shortage, and it will be difficult to hunt prey on the outskirts of the forest at that time.
The safety of the village and the food are both things that must be addressed at the moment.
In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Fan found a quill from Singill's eye, as well as some animal skins. As for the use of taking these things, he did not say.
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Fan, who had stayed up all night, finally opened the door that had been closed and went directly to find Tár.
Tal had almost recovered from his injuries, he put on his equipment and was about to lead the warriors of the village to hunt in the forest, when he saw Lin Fan hurrying towards him as soon as he went out.
Seeing Lin Fan, Tár's face swelled with a layer of blood, and he immediately turned around, wanting to close the door again and pretend that he was not at home.
Two nights ago, he and Lu Han originally wanted to get drunk with Lin Fan, who would have thought that Lin Fan did not fall, and he and Lu Han both fell under the table, which was a big blow to Tar, who had full confidence in his drinking, and he was not embarrassed to face Lin Fan at all.
Lin Fan didn't give Tal a chance to avoid it, and shouted from afar: "Tár!"
A small head came out of the wooden house, and Tar's son Del glanced at Lin Fan happily, looked back at Tar and said, "Dad, Lord Lin Fan is calling you!"
Del's voice was very loud, attracting the attention of many villagers around, Tal grabbed his hair, glared at Del, and had no choice but to greet Lin Fan with a red face.
"Lord Lin Fan, what's the matter with me?"
Lin Fan walked to Tár's side, didn't pay attention to Tár's face, and asked directly, "Tár, how is the food in the village?"
Hearing Lin Fan ask about food, Tal couldn't help frowning: "There are still many large beasts in the forest, the villagers can't enter the forest, and the food is still very tight. Now we have to send people to patrol the village, and we can't divide too many people into the forest to hunt. I'm afraid it's not going to be a good winter. ”
Lin Fan had already guessed that this was the case, he nodded, handed the animal skin in his hand to Tar and said, "I will also help with the problem of food, you look at this." ”
Tal took the animal skin suspiciously, and after a glance, his eyes widened, and he looked at Lin Fan in shock, and involuntarily raised his voice: "Lord Lin Fan, what is this?"
When the surrounding villagers heard Tár's surprised voice, they all looked at it suspiciously, not knowing what happened to the road that surprised Tár, who had always acted calmly.
Lin Fan pointed to a few animal skins on it, there were many patterns painted on the animal skins, all of which were various mechanisms, very detailed.
Lin Fan said: "These are traps, if they are arranged cleverly, even ordinary villagers can hunt beasts. There are some security traps around the village, and the village will be safer. ”
The last time he conquered the Blood Flame Tiger, Lin Fan found that Tal and the others dealt with the beasts with their strength to defeat the enemy.
Perhaps it is the pursuit of its own strength that the development of various tools in this world is not outstanding. Lin Fan had never seen Tal and the others set traps, but when they found a beast, they drank it.
Lin Fan had just learned several ways to set traps in the wilderness survival training he had participated in, and now it is just useful.
Tal didn't speak, his eyes widened and he looked at the various ingenious mechanisms on the animal skin in his hand, and his body trembled with excitement: "The trap can be arranged like this! This mallet trap, even if a large beast with the strength of a high-level warrior steps on it, I am afraid it will be seriously injured!"
"Lord Lin Fan, what is this, this doesn't look like a trap. Tal flipped through a few animal skins, pointed to the bottom one, looked at Lin Fan and asked. This hide features a pointed wooden tower motif.
Lin Fan explained: "This is called the Arrow Tower, you only need to build one in front of and behind the village, and then arrange two archers on it, you can find threats close to the village at any time." In this way, there is no need to arrange a large number of patrols, which can save a lot of manpower. ”
"Arrow Tower!" Tal looked at him with joy, and suddenly gave Lin Fan a bear hug, and said with a smile: "Lord Lin Fan, you are really a genius! You can think of this kind of thing! I will let people prepare it immediately!"
Tar's behavior made the surrounding villagers even more curious about the animal skin in his hand.
Lin Fan's face was flushed with Tár's hands bandaged, and he finally broke free, hurriedly took two steps back, looked at Tal vigilantly, and said, "I'll leave these things to you." You bring Ruhan and give me ten more men. ”
"You're going to the forest?"
"Hmm. Lin Fan nodded.
Tal didn't ask any more questions, he carefully put away the skins, and said, "I'll arrange it for you right away." ”
As he spoke, Tal looked back at the curious villagers around him and said loudly, "Gather everyone and go to the square immediately!"
The nearby villagers guessed that what Tal was going to say must have something to do with the animal skin that Lin Fan had just taken out, and they all walked towards the village square, wanting to see what it was that made Thal, who had always been calm, so excited.
Lin Fan returned to the wooden house and waited for Lu Han and the others, and soon there was a commotion in the direction of the village square. Apparently the villagers had also seen the patterns on the hides.
Lu Han soon appeared outside Lin Fan's wooden house with ten junior warriors, and Xingsha followed beside him.
Xingsha hugged the muddy ball, with a sullen expression on his face, he came to Lin Fan several times in the past three days, but he has been turned away.
Seeing Xingsha's expression, Lin Fan knew that this little guy was having a temper, rubbed Xingsha's hair, and said, "Xingsha, wait until we go to the forest, how about you go together?"
"Hmm!" Xingsha heard Lin Fan's invitation, his eyes lit up, he turned his worries into joy, nodded vigorously, held up the fat muddy ball and asked, "Can the muddy ball go together?"
"Absolutely. ”
Lin Fan smiled and glanced at the muddy ball. The bulb grows very quickly, and it doesn't look like it's been fattened for a few days. It seemed to know that Ruhl wanted to kill it in the first place, and every time it saw Ruhl's fluff standing on end, his mouth emitting a whimpering threat.
Facing the threat of the muddy ball, Lu Er's heart was a little weak, and he looked at Lin Fan and said, "Lord Lin Fan, what are we going to do in the forest?"
"I'm looking for some cubs. ”
"Young beast?" Lu Han licked his lips and frowned, "The meat of the young beast is too tender to chew. ”
Whining......
As soon as his words fell, Hun Qiu struggled to roll out of Xingsha's arms, rolled all the way to Lu Han's feet, and opened his mouth to bite Lu Han's trouser legs, his face full of ferocity. It's a pity that its teeth are just a little white, and there is no threat at all.
"Hey, little guy, you want to bite me? It's not enough!" Lu Han picked up the muddy ball, looked sideways, and sneered: "Although the meat of the young beast is not delicious, the bones are good......
was glared at by Lu Han's eyes, and the fiery red fluff on Hun Qiu's whole body exploded one after another, struggling to move, and looked pitifully at Xingsha next to him.
"Uncle Lu Han, you are not allowed to bully Qiuqiu!" Xingsha glared at Lu Han, carefully took the muddy ball, and held it in his arms and whispered comfort.
"Hehe, I just wanted to scare the little guy. Lu Han laughed. Hun Qiu is obedient and well-behaved, and is very liked by the children in the village, even Lu Han's daughter Lili is clamoring for one, and she has to run to the Xingsha house every day to look twice before she is willing to sleep, Lu Han does not dare to offend Xingsha now.
Lin Fan looked at the honest Lu Han and smiled: "I'm not looking for a young beast to eat, let's go, I'll explain to you on the way." ”
The group walked towards the forest.
"Feed them?" In the forest, Lu Han was taken aback when he heard that Lin Fan wanted to find a young beast to feed.
"However, now that the food in the village is so tight, we don't have any extra food at all......
Lin Fan interrupted Lu Han's words and said, "We are not young beasts looking for carnivorous beasts, but beasts that only need to eat plants like long-haired pigs. ”
Lu Han nodded, and reacted a little: "Long-haired pigs eat everything, but there is no problem." Lord Lin Fan, do you want to feed the long-haired pigs and then kill them for meat?"
This explanation is really straightforward.
Lin Fan smiled bitterly and nodded: "That's probably it." Lu Han, can you tell me about the various beasts in this forest that feed on plants?" Lin Fan wanted to choose a few beasts suitable for animal husbandry from among them.
"That's fine. Ruhan nodded, and was about to speak, when a faint sound suddenly pierced through the woods and came from the direction of the village.
Dangdangdang......
The voice was short, cold, and harsh. It was the alarm bell that Lin Fan had heard last time.
When Lu Han and his warriors heard the voice, their faces changed, and they immediately stopped, and Lu Han said in a deep voice: "Lord Lin Fan, we must go back to the village immediately. ”
Lin Fan also knew that something must have happened in the village, so he nodded. Several people immediately turned back.
"The Bloody Tiger is dead, Tal is still in the village, and ordinary beasts have nothing to fear. I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, I need to ring the alarm bell......" Walking on the road, Lin Fan wondered.
"I'm afraid it's the werewolf of the Bloody Fang Castle, calculate the time, it's time to come......" Lu Han's thick eyebrows twitched, and he groaned.
Xingsha, who was following Lin Fan, heard the word werewolf, his thin body trembled slightly, and he involuntarily took a step closer to Lin Fan, reached out and pinched the corner of Lin Fan's clothes, his crystal pupils flashing with fear.
