wandering fairy

Dong Hezi, who turned into a wisp of light smoke and flew high in the sky, carefully adjusted his color, so that the color tone blended into the bright blue sky, and near the foot of the mountain, the dense forest and the edge of the Gobi went back and forth a few times, secretly thinking in his heart: "It seems that the water source suddenly disappeared after spreading outward to a certain range, so that the surrounding land could not get water, so a clear dividing line of vegetation was formed. It's really strange, what can bring such a large area and so many What if the water source disappears together?"

This is the fourth time he has come here for surveying. After thinking about the surrounding terrain, he suddenly remembered the strange things he saw and heard along the way: the whole country of Naintus is a bluestone wilderness, and most of the area is dry and dry. It's cold, and it doesn't rain a few times throughout the year.Therefore, the mountains and plains are full of sparse vegetation, bare rocks, and a row of gray and desolate colors.However, there are a few areas rich in a large amount of groundwater and a large amount of arable land available, which were divided up by nobles and royal families from all over the place.However, the royal family only divided up a part of the cultivated land near the capital, while the dragon ogre nobles from all over the place controlled more peripheral cultivated land, and thus their overall strength far surpassed that of the royal family.

Like the village where Donghezi lives, there is a lot of arable land nearby, but the water source is insufficient, and it is difficult to get water. The arable land is on the hills, but the water source is in the depression. Each water source is as small as a well, and sometimes it does not exist, and the distribution is very scattered. It takes half a day to get water up the mountain, and it is difficult to support large-scale reclamation and planting.Even so, the nearby nobles have been eyeing them, and they have been thinking about how to squeeze this piece of cultivated land out of the teeth of the royal family.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a living creature moving on the Qingshi Gobi near the edge of the green forest.Slowly descending from a high altitude to investigate, it turned out to be a dog-headed lizard man wearing shabby clothes and a skinny figure. He seemed to be looking around for signs on the uneven rocky hills.

Dong Hezi had great doubts in his heart: this dog-headed lizard man was not taken in a safe dense forest, but instead ran to this wilderness alone for what?The blue-gray rocks all over the ground are either as big as a farmhouse or as big as a hotel. They are piled up in a mess like a maze, and there is nothing of value.I was guessing secretly, but saw the dog-headed lizardman on the far ground suddenly drilled into a pile of huge uneven rocks and disappeared.It seems that there is a cave.Dong Hezi's curiosity aroused, so he darkened his cloud head and floated there.

The dog-headed lizardmen held dim yellow torches.Cautiously and slowly touching down along the cave channel that extends downwards, there is a small water pool at the bottom of the cave, which is also the only visible water source in this Gobi area.When I was driven out of the jungle by the tribe and had to survive on the dry Gobi, luckily I found this small cave and the precious water source by following the moist breath, otherwise I would have died of thirst outside.

And now he felt very thirsty again, to dig up the two prairie rats to satisfy his hunger.He planed the ground intermittently for a long time, and finally forced the two chubby guys to a corner in a complicated and authentic way, and then pierced the two with one shot.It was wonderful to hear them struggling and howling on the javelins, and the sound of blood splashing!

food!The more you struggle, the more delicious it is!

He hadn't eaten enough for more than half a year, and finally had a good meal of fresh flesh and blood, but the blood of these prairie rats was too dry.After licking the large blood spot that remained on the bone, he felt very thirsty.It took another day to walk to this water source, and now I am too thirsty.Not only was his mouth burning like fire, but even his skinny, malnourished skin was about to dry out.The tattered leather armor on his body seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, so he took it off and jumped into the water!

But he didn't rush down the pouring channel to the water source.Because the cave is quite slippery, if you are not careful, you will fall and roll down the sloping passage, rolling to the cold small pool at the lowest point of the cave.The water there is good, but also very dangerous!Because that small pool is too deep, almost as unpredictable as a big well, if you fall into it, you will definitely die!What's worse is that the space at the bottom of the entire cave is very narrow, not even a sub-giant can fit in.And the water pool occupies most of the area, next to it is a narrow and sloping stone wall, and there is no place to stand.I had to step on several protruding rocks with difficulty and carefully fetch water with leather bags.

After filling the water with an old leather bag, he had a good meal.Feeling a little tired from the body, he got up and walked to the hole above.After leaving the tribe, he can only eat alone in the desolate Gobi. A full meal does not mean that he can live for a few more days. God knows when the next time he finds something, three days?ten days?or a month?

No one knows, and neither does God.At least that guy named Kutumark must not know!

He slowly climbed up along the slippery passageway on the road.When you come to a relatively flat and spacious place.Suddenly I smelled something not so good.When I just came down, I was in a hurry to fetch water to drink.So no attention.But now the spirit is a little better.The sense of smell is also sharpened.Suddenly feel greatly bad!

He immediately raised the torch and looked back.God!A dead stinging spider as big as a buffalo!

This huge and evil spider-type creature.The whole body is covered with hard and solid crimson, and it is covered with bloody thorns like thorns.It was as if a terrifying killing machine was hiding beside it.And it actually has a few bull's-eye eyes on its forehead!Several strange white people and black pupils shook back and forth.Revealed the disgust of fire!It immediately raised its ferocious and terrifying mouthparts.A long thorn-like blood red thing was revealed.

"Death stab?!" The tired and weak dog-headed lizard man yelled.This spider-like creature can shoot a long thorn with venom from its mouthparts.It pierces into the body of the prey like a sharp dart.Wait for it to pass out and then enjoy it slowly.It can be described as a hundred hits.Baizhong Bailing.Therefore, although it will not be made.But he is still a very powerful hunter.Known as the "Death Stinger Spider".

In panic.The kobold lizard man screamed and threw the torch in his hand at the large death-stinging spider.Just heard a "bang".The death-stinging spider let out a terrifying scream, and one of its eyes was actually hit by a torch!Painful and hot.Back again and again.

The dog-headed lizardman ran away, but he was small and weak. He had just run not far along the tortuous passage when the death-stinging spider behind him roared angrily, raised its claws, and galloped over like a star covered in thorns. Warhammer, it only takes one blow to smash the opponent into a pulp!

The "boom, boom" of the eight legs hitting the ground behind him became more and more urgent and louder.Death is like an endless shadow sweeping from behind.The dog-headed lizard man screamed and turned around and shot his only javelin.Then with a soft "bang", it was bounced to the ground by the sharp thorn shell of the dead thorn spider.

Just when he was out of his wits, watching the angry death stinging spider approaching like a rock, suddenly a beam of blue water as thick as a large wooden barrel flew out from the hole, rushing towards the death stinging spider as big as a buffalo like a waterfall. On the body, wrap it up on the spot.Suddenly, the lightning crackled and dasheng!

What's this?The dog-headed lizardman was inexplicably horrified: a flying ooze that can discharge electricity? !so similar!It was completely like a blue ooze monster wrapped in a frightening and inexplicable death-stinging spider. It slammed with lightning, and the entire cave was crackled like fireworks, with lights and shadows flickering.With the effort of one or two breaths, the whole body of that ferocious scarlet spider was scorched like charcoal, and then this evil body collapsed on its own with a whimper, turning into a burst of choking ashes!

Finally, the lightning subsided, and the bright blue "smoke" turned into a short-haired human in a blue robe standing in front of him in the blink of an eye. After staring at the shivering him for a while, he suddenly asked in a calm tone: " May I have your name?"

"Me?" The dog-headed lizard man was dumbfounded for a while, and suddenly realized that this powerful human didn't intend to kill himself!Very good!

He thanked God Bahamut excitedly in his heart.Stuttering in his mouth, he said, "Doo toot."

Dong Hezi took a closer look, and unexpectedly saw a few large emerald green dragon scales on his body, this guy is still a "dragon vein".

In the blue-gray simple cottage, Mackenzie and others gathered in Donghezi's simple big house.Asked in surprise: "Did you really find the water source? Where did you find the land? How many fields are enough to irrigate?" Now Mackenzie is the "village head" authorized by the king. If he can really manage the village well, it is really possible There is a way to get promoted.Who doesn't want to stand out?

Sitting on the bed, Dong Hezijia calmly pointed at the dog-headed lizard man, and said slowly: "It's a coincidence. I met him on the road, so I followed him to find a water pool. I thought it was just a small water source with a sweet taste. , but summoned a few small water elementals to drill into the water for inspection, only to find that this pool leads all the way to the deep underground, where there is actually a huge and intricate underground river!"

Lelin was a little startled.Pressing the short sword in his hand, he hurriedly asked: "Is it the passage of the underground world?" It seemed that he wanted to lead someone into it.So Dong Hezi waved his hand to signal her to be calm, and said slowly: "There is no underground world, just underground rivers full of big water. I guess there are continuous cracks in the rocks at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, and these cracks eventually The spring water flowing down from the mountain is gathered into the huge underground river, so there is no water supply thirty or forty miles away from the foot of the mountain. It has become what it is now. In other words, it should have gathered on the ground The river that rises up, but runs very deep underground, so this area is so barren."

McKenzie and the others were overjoyed first and then anxious, because they clearly had a knife-edge fat meat.But only the smell of meat.I couldn't see or eat, and I almost stomped my feet: "What should I do? How deep is the underground river? Can it be tapped out? If there is no water for irrigation, there will not be much land to be reclaimed next year. Once the royal family If the supply of food is stopped, at least half of these 400 people will starve to death!"

Dong Hezi pondered: "This underground river is too deep, it goes straight into the ground below a thousand feet, and it's impossible to draw it up." Seeing that everyone in the house looked like the newspaper had collapsed, he comforted him: "Don't be in such a hurry, tomorrow we will go to the river." Dudu and I went to the foot of the snow-capped mountains to search for rivers. See if we can draw some water from any river. Our hilly terrain is at the bottom of the foot. As long as we build a small channel, we can draw water from the foot of the mountain to irrigate the cultivated land. "

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.The edge of the green forest at the foot of the mountain in this cottage is also forty or fifty miles away!Just relying on hundreds of hungry and tired farmers to repair the canal?So Mackenzie began to complain: "We are seriously short of food now. I wrote to the royal family a few days ago to ask for some food, but there has been no news. Now the food is rationed every day. A starving half-dead man, how can he have the energy to repair some canals. And relying on a dozen of us to protect the village and the canal at the same time. That's even more impossible!"

Dong Hezi nodded. The malnutrition problem in the village is indeed very serious now. All these farmers have dry and cracked skin, stiff faces, and numb eyes.There are also a few women who started to contact Grimm intentionally, frequently giving him some hints, just so that they could eat an extra piece of black bread and drink an extra bowl of hot vegetable soup for each meal.It's just that they don't really look that good.In addition, Grimm was in a low mood, so it had no effect.But the problem of hunger is not resolved, and there are many uncertain external pressures.Going ahead like this will cause problems sooner or later.The so-called "hungry and cold stealing heart", once those local nobles take advantage of it, civil strife, betrayal, betrayal, etc. are inevitable, and then the village will definitely not be able to keep it!

Although it's a big deal for me to run away.But the matter of psychic powers and astral matter has not been settled yet, so how can they just leave?So he looked a little like Si Suo and said to Mackenzie: "Isn't there a big walnut tree two miles outside the village? I'll move it tomorrow, and you can clear out a place in the village to put it in."

Everyone knew that there was a spell called "Fruit Mutation", and immediately exited the big house happily, and went to arrange their own affairs.As for the retrieved dog-headed lizard Dudu, it was arranged outside in a wooden shed like a kennel.But he was still very happy, at least the high priest had promised not to kill him, and provided food and clean drinking water every day.He curled up in the "kennel" that could shelter him from the wind and rain, secretly looking forward to the future: Maybe this is an opportunity given by the great god Bahamut!If only he could please this powerful priest.Maybe I can return to the tribe and lead everyone to realize my wish!Haha, compliments to you.The benevolent and powerful Bahamut.

When everyone was asleep, Donghezi in the room took out a thin book and read it under the dim light while thinking.This is a basic book on psychic powers, which also describes the relationship between the mind, astral matter, and spells.

The next day, Dong Hezi took Le Lin and others to a big walnut tree two miles outside the village, only to see Dong Hezi pointing at the big tree after reciting a mantra. The big tree that rose from the ground suddenly closed its branches, and after two or three breaths, it turned into a huge python!

It was as wide as a vat, and its body was stubby and stout, slightly like a viper.It is about two stories high with its head held high.The originally rough and easy-to-fall bark turned into condensed scales, and the forked branches also shrank into a green snake-like head and neck, like a real super-large giant snake. The sound of rubbing is creepy.

Dong Hezi flew up with a proud face, jumped onto the head of the high-slung snake that was as big as a single bed, and enthusiastically directed the strange snake to the stockade at a speed as fast as a horse.Le Lin sprinted below and asked, "Isn't it the tree guard's spell? Why is it not a tree man but a snake?"

Dong Hezi sat on the head of a big snake with a height of one or two floors, laughed and said, "It was originally a tree guard. But I am a secret druid. After long-term and careful observation, I found that the tree guard The shape can be changed. So I adjusted the 6th-level Treant Guardian spell to the boa boa. This super-large snake can not only attack like a normal snake, but also has the ability of oak armor and rapid regeneration. If If it is a poisonous tree like acacia tree, then the big snake it transforms can also have Poison Strike or even Poison Cloud.”

The big snake ran so fast that Le Lin could only trot to keep up, and asked Dong Hezi, who was sitting comfortably on the tall snake's head, "A tree boa changes? Can only trees be turned into snakes?" Why not become something powerful like a tiger or a leopard?"

Dong Hezi laughed and said, "Are you kidding me? Changing a spell is very difficult! Just like when you suddenly abandon your sword and use a hammer, you have to observe carefully and test carefully, not just pat your head." It is very good to be able to become a snake now, and it is not impossible to change into other shapes. But the process is extremely complicated. It takes more than half a day just to prepare the spell, which is not worth the loss! Besides, the reason why the tree The change from the human guard to the tree boa is precisely because the tree man is too tall and easy to become a target. After changing into a snake shape, it is very low and easy to approach the target, especially when launching surprise attacks at night. If it becomes Other shapes are still too tall and revealing. Why bother?"

The big snake turned from a big walnut tree slowly drove into the simple but spacious Qingshi cottage. When the people in the village saw it, they all bowed down in fear, and they kept chanting Akuo, the god of air elements. The name of the flute is begging for his protection.Although Mackenzie and other arcane pioneers who came here after hearing the news were extremely surprised by this new magical technique, Dong Hezi was dubious after instilling countless times of nonsense that "wind and wood have the same origin, and thunder and wood belong to the same family" along the way. accepted.

After the super-large tree snake climbed to the predetermined open space, it plunged its tail into the ground, then made a grating sound, and half of its body burrowed into the ground.Then the green snake's head scattered, and there were "growth" winding branches and green leaves.In less than two breaths, it was restored to the original big walnut, and the shape was not bad at all.

Dong Hezi then ordered Mackenzie and the others: "From now until noon tomorrow, I will cast spells on the big tree continuously, and I will not be disturbed by others. You and others take turns to guard, and don't let other people interfere with me!"

Everyone and the villagers knew that he was going to perform the "Fruit Mutation", and they all happily agreed.
