Chapter 043 A Good Part and a Bad Part
What is the difference between Snow Werewolf and Snow Werewolf Warrior?
Of course combat effectiveness.
Combat power is a more general term.
To be precise, it should be divided into two categories, one is called combat experience, and the other is hunting experience.
Adult snow werewolves are actually very combative. In human form, a wild boar in a non-charging state is not difficult. In wolf form, as long as they are adults, they can be regarded as a superman on the grassland. But they have to be responsible for more and more complex tasks in the tribe. They don't have so much time to hone their fighting skills.
In terms of fighting efficiency, they are less serious fighters. As for hunting experience, ordinary tribesmen can't compare with serious warriors... Walking in the wild like Xiao Yun has little luck to run into a group of deer. In most cases, they walk in the wild in the form of a wolf. The Snow Werewolf either missed the right prey, or the prey smelled the snow werewolf's breath and ran away from afar, and the snow werewolf couldn't catch up at all.
The huge body gave the snow werewolf more than just a physical advantage, the disadvantage of speed cannot be avoided; the snow werewolf running at full speed can reach a speed of 50 to 60 kilometers per hour, which is their best speed at all, and it is relatively easy for the strong cloven-hoofed animals to get rid of the snow werewolf.
Therefore, to become a snow werewolf warrior, you must learn how to hide your breath, otherwise you will scare your prey away from a long distance, then your hunt is a failure. In addition, you must be good at using bows and arrows, throwing short guns and other long-range offensive methods, otherwise even on the grassland, no matter how plentiful the prey is, you can't catch it, you can only starve to death.
After Xiao Yun forced the whole clan to maintain personal hygiene, the snow werewolf warriors, who had greatly reduced their body odor, were naturally better at hunting. They didn't take the initiative to go out and wandered around, and they could only get something to gain when they saw in between work. That's how the wild game that often appears in the pottery pots here comes from...
Hongye and Ashan left the river construction site and walked for a while to the northwest. After two people lowered their waists, bent over, bowed their heads, and concealed their body height because of no grazing for a year. In the extraordinary weeds, the breath of deterrence has also become nonexistent-both of them are very good fighters. Except for the alert creatures, such as hares and birds, they can't catch, the rest of the prey they have basically caught it.
The foul smell is very light, not like a threatening creature. Out of the warrior's vigilance, Hongye and Ashan still picked up two stones and held them in their hands. After all, weak creatures have tricks to save their lives, such as running away. The speed is extremely fast or something, they may not be able to push them... Although they are already considered to be the agile types of the snow werewolves, where is the short board of the snow werewolves.
After lurking in the grass for ten minutes, Ashan suddenly straightened up, frowned and looked around, and then turned half a circle around what he thought was suspicious. He looked back at the red leaves in confusion: "Why suddenly disappeared?"
Hongye also showed up. I left my head and sniffed right, my face was also very confused: "I don't know, the smell suddenly disappeared."
If the terrain around the tribe is drawn as a map, the place where the river is built is higher on the map. For the tribe, there is still more than 1,200 meters away from the tribe—this artificial river channel that directs the river directly to the south to inundate the uninhabited land, of course, should not be too close to the tribe. The closer it is to the upper reaches of the river, the better.
In other words, Hongye and Ashan touched the strange stinking place, which was more than three kilometers away from the tribe in a straight line, and two kilometers away from the river construction site...
At this distance, the sense of smell of the snow werewolf depends on the wind. If you go upwind, you can't smell anything.
But it stands to reason that the two of them have already touched the place where the foul smell appeared before, and the smell should be more obvious. How could it suddenly disappear?
The two expanded the search area and searched the surrounding area 100 meters. As a result, they didn't know if it was too windy. They just couldn't find the source of the smell. The thing seemed to disappear out of thin air. .
"Forget it, let's go back." Hongye lost patience, so he greeted Ah Shan and walked back, Ah Shan had no objection.
The two walked back halfway, and suddenly both turned their heads back at the same time...The smell appeared again, as if they were still fleeing into the distance. Both of them are a bit annoyed this time, and they don't hide anymore, and they just throw a big foot in pursuit. Before they ran to the place where the smell came out again, the pungent smell disappeared again...
"Jesus?!" Hongye and Ashan together cursed the phrase they learned from Ayun, staring their eyes and sniffing their nose, scraping around in the grass.
...Get nothing.
Both of them were a little angry, but there was nothing to do. Could it be that they could set fire to burn all the weeds in this area and then scrape the ground three feet? There was a lot of work on the river construction site waiting to be done. There was no time to be wasted then~
Angrily rushed back, and almost halfway, the irritating stench suddenly appeared out of thin air.
"Roar--"
The two snow werewolf warriors took off their pants and threw them into the bushes, transferred into wolf forms and turned their heads, ran to chase something wildly...
The short-term explosive power of the wolf form can be increased to the extreme speed of 70 kilometers per hour. The source was caught, and when they rushed to the place, the two ugly little goblins had just dug a hole to hide in, and had no time to drag over the intact soil cover of the turf.
Two huge snow werewolves with fierce spirits and rough noses dropped from the clouds, and the two little goblins who were still dragging the turf with great horror...then they rolled their eyes and fainted directly.
"Goblin!" Ashan gritted his teeth, it was this little gadget that came to tease them in his spare time? It's so stinky and so nasty that it has to keep his head off.
"What do these guys want to do!" Hongye raised her paw angrily, planning to slap these two little guys to death, she couldn't bite with her mouth such smelly little things.
Just as soon as she lifted her paw, Hongye's movements stopped.
Her eyes fell on the claws of the unconscious little goblin who was still holding on to the turf soil cover.
Goblin creatures can be said to be a relatively deformed type of intelligent race. The head is big and thin, and the two claws are about the same size as the head, especially the hands. The cortex under the arms and near the wrists is keratinized into metal-like skin, palms. Thick and powerful, four fingers are thick and short. The claws on the fingertips with wide bottom and sharp top are extremely flexible and can bend themselves like small cat claws.
Hongye put her claws down, restored her human form, endured the stench, pinched the goblin's horny palms and looked at it, and then slipped out the two goblins to observe the hole they dug in such a hasty time:
Took the lower layer completely while digging the turf and digging holes, evenly throw the excavated soil around and step on it with your feet to make it unobtrusive, and then use a soil cover with turf to cover the top. After a whole set of operations, even soldiers like her and Ah Shan were not found. Abnormal...
Hongye looked at Ashan with piercing eyes: "Ashan, I think we can have more people to help dig the river."
"Huh?" Ashan showed his stupid but cute expression, lowered a bit his wolf's head.
Hongye happily ran back to the river construction site with two goblins, excitedly found Ayun who was carrying soil and rocks, and presented two goblins with a height of about 1.2 meters as a treasure.
"What the hell smell, throw it away, throw it away!" Xiao Yun instantly jumped out at least three meters away while pinching his nose, tears rushing out, "Hongye, where did you pick up the biochemical weapon, how could you brought it back!"
Not only did Xiao Yun rush back quickly, but the cubs who were carrying soil and rocks around them with the vines baskets, they also throwed the vines baskets around and screamed ran far away.
"Goblin!" Hongye carried two goblins in one hand and pinched her nose in the other hand. "Goblin who is very good at digging, look, Ayun!"
"Stop coming here~~" Xiao Yun turned his head and fled.
Hongye: "..."
Helplessly, Hongye had to take the two goblins back to the tribe... Successfully cried the manul cubs with the odor in the activity room, pinched their noses and ran towards the tent where they lived; Sal, who squatted in the mushroom house, was so scared that he ran out to see what was going on, and while crying bitterly, he stood firmly in front of the mushroom house to prevent Hongye from approaching.
Hongye: "..."
Grimacingly took a piece of soap that the manuls used to process wool, and carried the two goblins to the pond by the swamp. The pond where the water is stored now has a drain facing the swamp, and Hongye squatted to the side of the drain, regardless of the awakening goblin staring at her with horrified big eyes, and pulling off the goblin's clothes whic she doesn't know what the trousers and small bags are made in a few times. Put on soap and scrubbing brushes. The rough movements made two goblins cried...
The soap with the palm of the hand was half a piece of soap, and the two were black and slender. The block of goblins finally recovered their true colors...Uh, it turned out that the skin of the goblins was as white as the forest elves with light green in it, but it was still too ugly to look straight, without eyebrows, no hair, big eyes and flat nose. There is still a rotten tooth in his mouth.
Carrying a goblin who has been at least two catties lighter after scrubbing and cleaning, then go to Ayun. This time the river construction site has not been temporarily suspended because of Hongye's actions. Ayun can also be regarded as able to listen to her.
"Oh? A master digger?" After hearing Hongye's description, Xiao Yun's eyes immediately became as piercing as Hongye. He recalled the matter of picking up the quartz stones and stones that the goblin dug last year, and immediately squatted down and caught the goblin to take a closer look..
As soon as he touched the skin of goblin, Xiao Yun knew that the goblin was definitely not to be let go--obviously they were also an intelligent creature, the palm of this thing actually evolved in the direction of partial metamorphosis, and his skin including the wrist could no longer be called skin any more. It is the skin, but is completely keratinized, and evolved into a strange horny structure that exceeds the hardness of the rhino horn turtle shell. The surface has a brown-black luster similar to metal reflective; what is more strange is that the palms have become like this, the metacarpal and phalanges of the goblin are actually Can move flexibly, even the nails on the fingertips have a certain degree of flexibility.
"... When a biologist sees this kind of weird creature, his first idea must be to get a corpse to dissect and slice?" Xiao Yun had such a thought in his mind, and raised his head to meet the sight of the little goblin who was shaking like a chaff.
As a weak creature, the goblin must evolve strong perception abilities to ensure the continuation of the race. Xiao Yun said nothing and his expression was not ferocious. The goblin who was glanced at by Xiao Yun almost fainted— Why did he fell that this snow werewolf cub more terrible to him than the snow werewolf warrior? !
"Can goblins understand lingua franca?" Xiao Yun asked Hongye for verification.
"Yes, they can." Hongye let go of her fingers, and the two goblins she was carrying fell to the ground immediately, "Stand up and listen to what Ayun said."
The two goblins climbed up and stood up.
"Oh, it's still a smart creature after all." Xiao Yun touched his chin, and smiled kindly at the two little goblins who brought their own talents of miners and engineers.
... The two goblins directly scared him and cried.
"Don't be so nervous." Xiao Yun sat cross-legged on the ground and greeted the two goblins who were about one meter tall, "Come on, sit down and say..."
The two goblins sat down honestly.
"Before our snow werewolves migrated, you goblins had already lived in this area. Yes, even though we haven't dealt with each other, we are neighbors who live next to each other. The relationship between our two is not cold to the point of opposition. Now that you have come to our tribe, our snow werewolf is not an unreasonable tribe, and we have no intention of killing you, so should we have a good exchange?" Xiao Yun smiled... directly skipped the snow werewolf. The fact that drove the goblins.
Of the two goblins, one of them secretly looked up at him.
iao Yun immediately focused his firepower on this slightly courageous goblin, very kindly: "What's your name?"
"Ba...Baron." The goblin squatted.
"How about your tribe, what's his name?"
"...Gal."
Xiao Yun nodded, as if satisfied with Baron's cooperation: "Where do your tribe live?"
"In, in..." Baron suddenly revealed with an expression of pain and struggling, he was very afraid that the snow werewolf, and regretted that he hadn't pulled Gal to escape sooner, did get so close, but if he wanted him to betray his clan, it's a bit...
Xiao Yun wouldn't focus on this, then changed to a simpler question: "How many people are there in your tribe?"
This question is obviously much simpler than that of betraying the tribe. Baron answered directly: "Ni...nine."
It's few. Xiao Yun was immediately dissatisfied, only nine goblins couldn't do much work...
Baron didn't know why the other party's face suddenly became hard-boiled to look at, and he squeezed his head into his shoulder.
Silently saying that being is better than nothing, Xiao Yun continued to ask: "How long has your tribe left the underground world, and how many people have come out?"
"It's been two or almost three years." Baron was a little bit painful, "We came together,... there were a hundred more people."
Xiao Yun was shocked by the speed of the population loss of the goblin: "Where did everyone else go?"
"Some... some people have gone farther, we want to stay here and wait for more people. Come up..." Baron whispered.
"How many of you are staying nearby?"
"More than forty people." Baron was a little low.
...Okay, it seems that it is the same difficult level for the goblins to live compare with other tribes through war. Xiao Yun turned the question back again: "How much has your tribe lost in the past year since our tribe migrated?"
"...two." Barong whispered.
"It's more convenient to have a good neighbor. You lost so many people before we came. After we came, with us as neighbors, life is much easier, isn't it?" Xiao Yun kindly.
Gal, who had been silent for a while, raised his head slightly, Baron glanced at the tribe, and nodded: "Yes."
Xiao Yun immediately changed his face: "Then, as a good neighbor who has always been in peace, why did you goblins enter our snow werewolf's territory? Are you making a bad idea or want to come over and steal something? Say!"
The goblin slumped directly to the ground in fright, and his four eyes looked at the snow werewolf cub who suddenly became angry in horror, but couldn't react to why the other party suddenly changed his face.
Hongye, who was squatting on the side and watching, looked calm, she didn't believe that Ayun, the devil who made people so busy that even Sal, the fragile human, would be able to let go of goblins.
"No, we... we just...we just came to see if you are going to migrate..." Baron burst into tears, and didn't dare to delay answering the question, "I really didn't want to steal your things..."
Xiao Yun understood at once. Now, the feeling is that the snow werewolves did not go to herd or go up, and the life of these goblins gradually became difficult?
Since the other party exposed the weakness of relying on the good neighbor, the snow werewolf, Xiao Yun had no reason not to strike while the iron was hot. He immediately glared with murderous intent: "The all races on the grassland know that your goblins have sticky fingers, and you've even stolen tauren's food, who can prove that you are not here to steal things?"
"This..." Baron and Gal were so sad and helpless that they were nothing to say, and at the same time they were very angry... They came to the grassland and had no chance to interact with other tribes. They have never accepted the charity of the tauren in dealings, how can this be blamed on them!
Xiao Yun lowered his hostility slightly, and calmed down his tone: "I said earlier that we, the Snow Werewolves, are a reasonable tribe. Whether you come to steal things or not, since you haven't stolen things, we will not treat you as thieves. But. ——"
The previous words made Baron and Gal see hope. Suddenly, they said, but the little hearts of the two goblins were almost pulled upon their throats.
Xiao Yun met the gazes of the two poor goblins indifferently: "But letting a tribe of goblins with the habit of stealing live near us is still not a good thing for our tribe. In the past, you didn't lean over, and now you sneak in our tribe territory, this proves that your tribe has no good intentions towards us snow werewolves."
"?!" Baron and Gal almost couldn't take it in one breath, tears bursting in eyes, what did we as goblins treat you snow werewolves with bad intentions? Tell us! !
"So we can't stand neighbors like you. Your goblins are really not good neighbors." Xiao Yun is indifferent, cruel, and unreasonable. "We will not hurt you, and we will never allow you to continue to live in this neighborhood. Our tribesmen will escort you back to your tribe, and watch all the nine goblins of your tribes leave and stay away from this territory that belongs to our snow werewolves. If you dare to play any tricks and sneak back, then next time, we will never be merciful."
Baron and Gal turned into a muddy shape directly... This result cannot be said to be the worst result, but it's not good at all-I would not have taken this trip if I knew it! In this case, the snow werewolf would not drive them away so resolutely!
The two goblins, who were sorrowing against the river, did not notice that the snow werewolf cub sitting in front of them was winking frantically at the snow werewolf warrior squatting behind them.
Xiao Yun stared deeply at the red leaves, then stared at the immobile goblin on the ground, then turned to the tribesmen who were sweating and digging the river not far away, and then turned back to look at the red leaves.
"...Oh!" Hongye shook her boxing palm and said immediately, "Ayun, we are going to dig the river now, we don't have time to drive the goblins away!"
Xiao Yun... the corners of Xiao Yun's mouth twitched slightly, and I didn't explain it clear earlier, this is not good. I want you to play a good part, sister~~
Ayun once again crazily hinted that Hongye found that her cooperation was not very successful, scratched her scalp, and went through what Ayun had just said in her head. Grip the palm of a boxing box: "Um...Ayun, driving away the goblins is almost like killing them all, there are only nine of them left, and they can't go anywhere."
The two goblins on the ground immediately stood up, four big ugly and round eyes looked at the snow werewolf warriors who spoke good words for them with tears....They have never encountered a foreign race considering them since they were born, so touching they were!
Xiao Yun was just satisfied with Hongye played the good part that Hongye acted, and he dutifully played the bad part down: "That's their business, it has nothing to do with us." After a pause, he pretended to be pensive again, "but you are right. , we really have to be busy digging out the river channel, and we don't have much time to drive the goblins far away...If that's the case, we don't stop that matter, we just kill them all--"
"No!" Gal couldn't hold back anymore, screaming and begging, "Please, don't kill us, we, we..." The goblin's guarantee was not credible, and Gal felt so distressed that he couldn't say it yet. In his anxiety, he looked back again. Looking at Hongye, the only life-saving straw, Hongye scratched her cheeks with a troubled look. She seemed to be unable to figure out how to intercede with them...
Well, to some extent, Gal's guess was correct... Hongye was inexperience of playing good part, Ayun didn't have to set the lyrics with her
Gal, who was so anxious to jump into the river, suddenly saw the snow wolves who were working hard to dig the soil and sweating like rain in the big ditch beside him, and immediately rounded his already big eyes.
With the belief that he wants to live and be desperate, Gal lay down on Xiao Yun and summoned the greatest courage of his life quickly: "Our goblins are very good at digging. We can dig the big trenches and rivers you are digging. , I beg you not to kill us!"
"Yes, yes, yes, our goblins are really good at digging!" Baron recovered, and kneeled down towards Xiao Yun like Gal, "Let us goblins help you dig the river channel, we can dig as long or deep as you want, and I beg you don't kill us!" He also raised his palm that Xiao Yun had inspected just now, "Our palm can dig through rocks!"
Xiao Yun expressionlessly Staring at the two goblins... and staring again... keep staring until they are trembling and sweating, and then they seem to nod reluctantly: "Then dig it to me first, to prove that you have the value of survival."
The two goblins immediately jumped up and rushed into the river, avoiding the snow werewolf wielding the hoe, and digging hard with their own claws... They also witty know that the river must be dug along the marked standard line, the dug-out bottom is in line with the same depth dug by the snow werewolf, and the speed of digging soil and stones is faster than that of a brute force snow werewolf.
Xiao Yun watched with satisfaction as the two extremely motivated coolies devote themselves to the great cause of water conservancy projects, and patted Hongye's strong arm: "Hongye, you are really too shameless to be a soldier."
"Why, what do you want me to do? "Hongye vigilantly.
The author has something to say:
I believe everyone who has watched "The Mandalorian" knows the first cute baby in the interstellar-Baby Yoda, the goblins look like that, but their skin color is lighter. The goblins are actually very cute.
