I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 164 The dragon sprays water
At the canyon, Vincent and Tom led a dozen strong men who were originally lurking in the mountains on both sides. With the cover of the woods in the mountains, they did not worry about being discovered.

But now it's clear that this is a warning.

Just now, a metal car "slithered" away in reverse under their noses, at a speed that was no different from that of moving forward.

This is of course, although the model car has the functions of forward gear and reverse gear, the set speed is the same. It doesn't depend on how much you step on the accelerator or how much oil you give. After all, it's just a toy car.

In the eyes of those in ambush, this metal car that crushed the stumbling blocks and thorn bushes and escaped unscathed looked like a monster!

The strong men hiding in the mountains and forests on both sides stared at each other, not knowing what to do next.

This is different from the usual robbery process. A group of idiots are inexperienced.

They were villagers nearby who couldn't survive due to the drought. The water was gone and the food and grass were withered, so they took the risk and started a business without capital.

As the saying goes, they rely on mountains to eat mountains and rely on water to eat water. Since they live near the canyon, they should make this passing fortune.

The first time they set up a snagging rope and successfully robbed a passing landowner, they shared the other's horse and all the water, grain and money carried on the carriage.

Of course, if you do something bad for the first time, you won’t dare to kill someone. If you see the other party’s cooperation, let them go after robbing them.

We are not afraid that someone will come to arrest us. In this year's situation, I don't know how many mountains are doing robbery. How can I catch them?

I had successfully grabbed money and water several times before, but today I encountered an accident. Just because the metal car that came over was too weird, it completely ignored the tripping rope and ran over it directly.

If they hadn't rolled down the stone to block the road, this weird car would have rushed out of their blockade.

Not only was the car covered in metal, but there were no cows or horses pulling it at the front. I really don’t know how it moved.

Steam cars have naturally been around for a long time in this era, but not many people in the countryside know about them. Their knowledge only limited to various animal-drawn vehicles.

Today, they were all confused when they saw that the metal car could not only drive forward, but also fly backward.

It was precisely because the car backed up fast enough that it was not hit by the rolling rocks they prepared.

"What kind of car is this? Does anyone know?"

"I don't know. It looks like a monster."

"Should we still rob them? Or let them live." Someone suggested timidly. After all, metal cars were unheard of, and the iron frame looked quite scary.

"Grab! Why don't you rob!" Vincent, the leader, said fiercely, "Did you see that villa-like carriage pulled by six horses? This must be a prince from the East, extremely rich!"

"Yes, there are not many such fat sheep. And I just stood on the top of the tree and looked at it. Among the people sitting on the second floor of the carriage, there was only one gentleman, and the rest were all women. Don't be afraid!" said Vincent. Little Tom always stood by his side.

At this time, Owen had already arrived in an off-road vehicle and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Whoever is in front of you, get out of the way!"

"Hurry up and get the money! If you want to go through here, you have to pay five hundred pounds to pay for the road!"

Five hundred pounds is not a small amount of money. It is the income that a male servant can earn after working for fifty years.

But for Owen, who has Xia Qingdai's "faith item" subsidy, five hundred pounds is not impossible to come up with.

But, how many miles away from the town of Ifla! If you feel discouraged here, then you don’t know how much it will cost to buy the road to London.

"Impossible, I'll give you five pounds and get out of the way." Owen said, already taking out his pistol. Reason only lies within pistol range, or so he thought.

"You're sending away five pounds to a homeless man!" The other person's attitude was very tough. "If you don't have any money, go back and take a detour. You can't cross my canyon!"

Although their tone was strong, their words exposed their weakness. Give way instead of coming up and grabbing hard. This is a strong force on the outside but a strong one on the inside, so we don’t dare to engage in direct combat.

Owen had already seen what was true on the other side, and without saying a word, he opened the car door in front of him, crouched down, raised his gun and shot at the robber in front of him.

There was a gunshot, and a scream of "ouch" came from the opposite side. It was obvious that Owen's shot did not miss.

At the same time, from the other door of the off-road vehicle, Sheridan and Gerald also jumped out one after another.

They were all huddled behind the metal door, figuring out when to rush forward and get shirtless.

One of the two men was holding a kitchen knife that they had just taken from the kitchen of Lotus House, and the other was holding a riding crop that was pulled from the groom Andrew.

Their weapons are all casual and not very lethal, but better than nothing.

Although they didn't have guns, the two of them didn't panic at all when faced with the robbers blocking the road. They were very courageous.

Owen would choose them as drivers and valets, so he naturally had his eye on the right person.

Fortunately, there is insufficient firepower here, and the bandits blocking the road ahead are even poorer. The only things he held in his hands were hatchets, bows and arrows, not even a gun.

Facing the "bang bang" gunshots here, in addition to a few arrows shot crookedly from the opposite side, there were wailing sounds one after another.

Although European guns have long been available, not everyone can afford these weapons.

The guns played by the nobles of this period, such as the new East India Company product worn by Owen on his waist, were almost equivalent to half a year's salary of a servant. Although the inferior big bird gun and matchlock gun is cheap, it costs more than ten shillings.

In addition to guns, you also have to buy ammunition, which is even more expensive. This cost is not something ordinary people can afford.

Just like most civilians in Europe in this era, transportation basically relies on walking. It's not that public carriages are underdeveloped, but that everyone can't afford them.

The same goes for guns. It’s not that firearms are strictly controlled, but that they can’t afford to use them.

Just as the two sides were fighting, Xia Qingdai, who had stayed in the car, had already rushed back to the modern room.

Watching the men fight from the perspective of a villain makes my heart beat wildly, but it is more reassuring to look down at the ant-like villain from the perspective of a giant.

But she didn't dare to intervene directly with her bare hands. Not to mention the guns and arrows from both sides, even a needle, Xia Qingdai didn't dare to directly pick it up with her hands.

She picked up a sprayer filled with water nearby, rotated and adjusted the nozzle, from wide-area fine atomization directly to high-pressure water jet mode.

Then he reached into the newly opened map and shot at the little people hiding in the woods.

This kind of high-pressure water jet will hurt even modern adults, not to mention small people. If you spray directly on the villain below, you will definitely be injured or killed.

Xia Qingdai's aim was not high and her murderous intention was not strong. She always sprayed at the trees where the bandits and gangsters were hiding, spraying them in half and causing the rocks beside them to roll around.

The little robbers who were hit by the splashing water screamed "Wow!" and were so scared that they peed.

Water is naturally what they like, but a sudden flash flood is not what they want!

"Dragon! Divine dragon! It's the divine dragon that's spraying water!" Gerald looked up at the divine dragon spitting out water jets in the sky and shouted excitedly.
