Chapter 57 Giant River
Riverside.
Beside Bai Pu, there was a group of aboriginal people.
The leader is none other than the former second master of the Red Lotus Society, Bai Pu’s new slave... Zhang Gu!
At that time, Bai Pu destroyed the Red Lotus Society's den, but left Zhang Gu behind. Later, when Zhang Gu met the leader of the Red Lotus Society, he was questioned.
This is the advantage of Bai Pu retaining Zhang Gu's complete thinking ability. Zhang Gu lied and was able to prevaricate easily. He even got a secret medicine given by the leader of the Red Lotus Society to heal his wounds.
Following Zhang Gu were naturally members of the Red Lotus Society. It should be noted that these gang members were carefully selected by Zhang Gujing, and none of them had ever met Bai Pu.
"This section of waterway is where those beasts often appear?"
After confirming it with a Red Lotus Society minion, Bai Pu gave instructions through Zhang Gu. The gangs searched along the river, focusing on the skeletal remains of large animals, including humans.
According to Bai Pu's knowledge base, the river catfish is actually a crocodile. This kind of cold-blooded reptile generally lives in shallow water areas, such as riverside swamps, muddy areas, etc. It can only be caught in shallow water areas. Only when prey is available will they enter deep water to look for food.
"Once again, I will deal with those beasts, you don't need to attack!" Bai Pu emphasized to the gang members again through Zhang Gu.
In fact, there is no need to emphasize that these gang members are basically weak templates. How can they dare to take action against Jiang Tao, who is so notorious that he dares to attack merchant ships and even military warships?
The reason why Bai Pu repeatedly asked was because of the reminder message from the will of the spirit world. For this job transfer task, Bai Pu must complete the battle independently in order to get the approval of Taoist Priest Xiuqing!
This is also easy to understand. Taoist priest Xiuqing originally doubted Bai Pu's fighting ability, so he was unwilling to teach alchemy.
If Bai Pu spends money to hire a group of experts to help him kill Jiang Tao, then what is the significance of Taoist Xiuqing's test?
There is another reason. If the indigenous people participate in the attack, the combat evaluation will be greatly reduced, and the probability of exploding the loot box will also be greatly reduced!
Only the trialists participate in the trial, and the attacks of the indigenous people will not affect the combat evaluation. This is preferential treatment from the will of the spirit world, because during the trial mission, the trialist has not yet successfully awakened.
It should be noted that Zhang Gu, as Bai Pu's slave, is a "summoned beast" similar to the summoner. He can participate in the battle and will not affect the mission.
In the judgment of the spirit world's will, Zhang Gu is part of Bai Pu's strength.
With so many red lotus members helping everyone, the detection efficiency was greatly improved. It didn’t take long before they found a nest where the river cat eats and lives in a wetland by the river.
This place is more like a swamp, covered with mud that can sink your thighs. It is the exposed riverbed of the Yangtze River during the dry season!
It is the middle of winter now. In summer, this place should be part of the vast river.
Bai Pu tied two wooden pot lids to his feet to share the weight, and walked step by step to the center of the wetland.
He squatted down and looked at the large pile of broken bones. He also picked up one to observe the cross section and freshness of the bones.
"Let's go." Bai Pu turned around and said.
Zhang Gu faithfully carried out Bai Pu's orders, but he had independent consciousness and thinking ability, and still asked the question: "Isn't the Lord planning to deal with the river cat? Why did he leave after finding the river cat's habitat?"
"You have also seen the environment here." Bai Pu raised his feet with some difficulty. Although the wooden pot lid can share the weight, it will also increase the friction area and stick to the mud. Every time Bai Pu takes a step , all require physical exertion.
"This is Jiang Tao's home field. Fighting them here is asking for death!"
Bai Pu's eyes were deep, "We must find a suitable terrain nearby... If not, there is no such place." , just create one!”
……
Less than one kilometer away from the habitat of the river cat, the ground gradually began to feel solid. There is a "concave" shaped hillside here, which can isolate the cold wind.
“This is it.” Bai Pu waved his hand and said, “Let your people dig up the ground and bury the things they brought!”
The things Bai Pu brought were very simple. , but a large amount of finely divided cinders!
After digging up a ten-foot radius of the ground, Bai Pu ordered people to ignite the cinders, scatter them evenly, and spread them in a thick layer. The surrounding air temperature rises slowly, making people feel warm even in the cold winter.
This was followed by burying the ground to cover the burnt cinders. It's like burning a layer of floor heating and creating a small greenhouse with human power.
There were hothouses during the Three Kingdoms period, fire walls during the Qin and Han dynasties, and rooms painted with pepper mud, called "pepper houses", which were used to provide warmth and remove bad odors.
Of course, there is no shelter here, and it cannot be compared with a real greenhouse. The heat in the ground will dissipate soon.
Bai Pu also had the live pigs and sheep he brought slaughtered on the spot! The blood is dripping and the heat is steaming.
“Jiang Tao likes warmth and is afraid of cold. I created such a warm temporary place and provided sufficient food for Jiang Tao. Those beasts will definitely follow the blood smell!”
Bai Pu slowly explained to his slave Zhang Gu that this was also the disadvantage of option 2. The slave has independent consciousness and thinking ability, so he must have a unified understanding and make him convinced, so that he can exert his greatest power.
“This is the place where Jiang Tao is buried!”
As if to be a footnote to Bai Pu’s words, not far away, two gang members stumbled over, their voices suppressed. Shouted: "Here we come!"
"Let the gang go and ambush at the predetermined location."
Bai Pu glanced at the gang brought by Zhang Gu. In fact, there is a ruthless option, which is to kill all the gang members. Not only can you gain experience and treasure chests, but you can also increase the reputation of the Lu family in Wu County for Bai Pu.
But with the war looming, it wasn't worth the energy. What's more important is that these helpers are useful!
Soon, a two-meter-long crocodile crawled over slowly but really quickly.
When it stepped on the warm area, its long tail swept, showing some excitement, and even its crawling speed accelerated a bit.
After sniffing the bleeding pigs, sheep and other animals on the ground, the crocodile opened its mouth without hesitation, biting and devouring!
After eating for a long time, the crocodile was probably full and crawled away shaking its head.
Zhang Gu glanced at Bai Pu nervously.
Bai Pu shook his head slightly.
This crocodile is obviously exploring the way. Now it has abandoned this almost perfect place to eat and live. There is only one explanation -
Go back, call for friends, and gather the entire crocodile family. , especially its mother, the giant deer, came to eat!
Sure enough, not long after the first crocodile left, other crocodiles rushed to this paradise one after another, as many as a dozen!
The small ones are one or two meters long, and the big ones are more than three meters long. They are obviously much thicker than real crocodiles!
Bai Pu observed calmly and frowned. None of the crocodiles that appeared here were particularly big.
This means that the giant catfish has not yet appeared, and the crocodiles here are all its descendants!
Waiting patiently for another stick of incense.
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
The ground shook as a huge crocodile separated from the wormwood and climbed into the field step by step.
This giant crocodile has layers of folds on its body, making it appear much fatter than other crocodiles. It is five meters long and has extremely thick limbs, like four stocky short pillars!
Especially the pair of vertical pupils, shining with blood-red luster, which makes people think of evil snakes for no reason.
Obviously this is the giant turtle that Bai Pu is tasked to kill! It obviously has a certain degree of intelligence. Let the family members, that is, its descendants, explore it first to make sure there are no traps and the food is not toxic before it officially makes its debut!
There will be an additional chapter at noon today, for those who have read more than 500.
