Chapter 5 Digging the Ground

After taking the seats, the sky was already a little dark.

The village chief also wanted to light a candle, but Jia Yi stopped the other party and released a light spell to float above the table for lighting, and in an instant the whole room was lit up, a hundred times brighter than a candle, making the village chief both awe and envy.

During the banquet, the village chief couldn't stop thanking Jia Yi, and Jia Yi was a little embarrassed, and from the village chief's words, Jia Yi knew that the village chief's son also died at the hands of this earth-splitting tiger.

The village chief's son was originally the captain of the militia in the village, and when the first time the beast ate people, it was the village militia group that went to investigate, and his son led the team, and then the whole team did not come back.

So after confirming that Jia Yi really killed the Earth Splitting Tiger, the village chief would be so out of shape.

As he spoke, the village chief sighed: "Life is getting more and more difficult now, if we don't meet the mage this time, our village will be gone, even so, this winter will not be easy." ”

Because of the ripping tiger, the production in the village has been greatly affected these days, and they dare not go out to hunt, and even the fields do not dare to spend energy to clean up, which is already somewhat deserted, which greatly affects the harvest.

Originally, this season should be a good time to receive the goods.

"Isn't the wheat harvest bad?" Jia Yi saw the village chief's words, in addition to the impact on the harvest, there seemed to be something else to say, and he looked a little slurred.

"This year's wheat harvest has definitely been affected, but we can hunt and gather wild vegetables, and we don't spend much time outside in winter, and there is still some time before the start of winter, so it's difficult to get through this winter, but we can get by," said the village chief. In the past, we used to spend this way when the harvest failed.

"But this time it's a little different, there is a problem on the side of the field where we grow wheat, not only this year, but also the harvest in the future. Without a wheat harvest, it would be too difficult to make a living by hunting. ”

The village chief complained to Jiayi that the reason why they came to settle here in the first place was because there was a group of digging insects living in the north of here, and the digging insects lived underneath, and they were very large insects with chitin carapaces on the outside, and they were not afraid of knives and guns.

Diggers are fond of burrowing in the ground, and the soil will become very loose wherever they walk, and the secretion is a very high-quality fertilizer, so the places where the diggers are located are very good farmland.

The village was built here because of the fact that this group of digging insects lives nearby.

Over the decades, the villagers have figured out the habits of the diggers, who operate underground during the day and come out to forage at night, so as long as they do not move in the area where the diggers are active at night, then there is no danger. Digging insects are omnivorous insects, and although they sometimes prey on animals, they are more likely to feed on leaves and dead grass, as well as insects living underground, and live in peace with people.

But I didn't expect that recently, these digging insects seemed to be crazy, and they also came out to move around during the day, and even injured several people, if it weren't for the fast running of the village name, and the other party didn't want to eat people, I'm afraid that several villagers would die.

But even so, the cultivation of the fields in the village has been greatly affected, and it is almost impossible to go to the fields, which is too dangerous.

This is not the time for burrowers to come into heat, and theoretically these burrowers shouldn't be so abnormal.

Affected by the digging insects, the village has been ready to reopen the fields, but unexpectedly it was stopped by the tiger infestation, and now the tiger infestation has been eliminated, and the development of new farmland should also be put on the agenda.

However, it will take at least two or three years for the newly opened field to become mature land, and the crop yield can reach the maximum, and without the assistance of digging insects, the yield is far inferior to the original field.

Listening to the village chief's complaints, Jia Yi was also very surprised, have they been hit by something evil recently? Why are they so unlucky, fortunately, they can still hold on to the influence of the digging insects, but their lives are not so good.

After dinner, Jia Yi came to the square outside the village to set up a tent, originally the village chief invited Jia Yi to live at his house, but although his son has died, his daughter-in-law is still there, and the house has long been full. And Jia Yi is not used to living in strangers' houses, so it is better for him to set up a tent by himself, which is more comfortable.

Jiayi's tent is a high-end product, the size can be adjusted, when in the jungle, the space is limited, can be adjusted into a small tent, easy to set up. Now in the village, the field is open, and the tent can be released for what it is.

The largest tent is nearly five meters long and more than three meters wide, and when erected, it looks like a small cloth room, with an interior space almost as small as a smaller room. The whole tent also has its own spell, has a strong protective ability, and has optical camouflage, which can be integrated with the surrounding environment, not easy to be found, and can also repel mosquitoes, warm in winter and cool in summer, with air conditioning.

Of course, the price of such an excellent tent is not cheap, this tent costs more than 600 gold, which can buy a remote house in Memphelbo, the area is larger than the tent, and it can also bring a small yard.

Entering the tent, Jia Yi took out a folding bed, which was about 1.2 meters after unfolding, and it was not small as a field bed. He took out a small folding table and unfolded it, and there was a small folding stool, the table was placed next to the bed, and the stool was placed on the other side.

Then he took out an emerald green tofu block, and when it was unfolded, it turned into a wide sleeping bag, which was very wide and looked more than enough to sleep two people, and there was a zipper on the side, which could be turned into a quilt when opened. Jiayi pulled the sleeping bag open and turned it into a quilt, folded it and spread it on the bed, with a cushion underneath.

This sleeping bag is made of goose down, and the fabric is made of elf cloth in order to avoid running down, and the elf cloth is more dense to avoid running down. When you put it away, you use a spell to vacuum it to compress it, and the volume becomes small, and when you use it, it becomes larger and fluffy.

These folding beds are all designed and made by Jiayi himself, using lightweight aluminum alloy and a skeleton made of steel, and then using good linen to cover it, which is very small after being put away, and can be unfolded when used.

For this set of clothes, Jia Yi has spent a lot of energy, just to ensure that even during the journey, he can have a good rest environment. Fortunately, his storage bracelet space is not small, and it can fit a two-bedroom apartment, so even if you put so many things, the remaining space is not small.

Thanks to his storage bracelet from the ruins, although it is damaged, but after the repair, there is not much loss of space, if you buy it now, not only is it expensive, but even the space will shrink a lot, it would be good to have ten or twenty cubes.

Everything was ready, Jiayi also took out a small stove to give himself a pot of water, made a pot of tea, and a temporary warm nest was ready.

Although it can't compare to the luxury magic tents that can carry the mansion with you, Kaichi is also satisfied.

He was going to leave after a night's rest and continue on his way, but he didn't expect to hear the news of the digging insects here, in addition to being a good helper for the farmland, the carapace on his body is also a good material for making armor.

The carapace of the Burger is very hard, lightweight, and has good magic attachment ability, it is a very high-quality armor crafting material, and some mages will even make themselves a magic armor to enhance their defenses, and it does not affect their casting agility.

In general, it is difficult to encounter digging insects, and if it is in the farmland, these digging insects are also protected, and it is rare that the digging insects encountered now are crazy, and Jia Yi is ready to help the village eliminate these digging insects, and I think the village chief and the villagers will be grateful to themselves.

I don't charge a fee, but I just collect insect corpses and waste for use, which is also very conscientious, and usually, this village can't get enough money to invite a mage like myself who can be comparable to a white-robed mage.

[I'm such a good boy who helps others. Kayi thought to himself, and then fell asleep beautifully.
