Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 22
It wasn't just that Austin was stingy and held grudges. The jealous blood wolves almost left him there. Having such a group of predators wandering within Austin's territory was a threat after all.

If Longchao Village wants to develop and expand in the future, this pack of blood wolves must be eliminated.

And in the cold winter, it is the easiest time to find traces of blood wolves.

Predators like the blood wolves did not store food for the winter. Even in the cold winter, the blood wolves had to go out to hunt, which gave Austin the most suitable time to find them.

As for the killing of the blood wolves, the sooner the better in the cold winter, when Austin went out to fly and hunt recently, he has seen some traces of hungry and ferocious predators going out. If the time comes to kill the blood wolves It's not good to provoke other ferocious beasts that are hungry and crazy.

The longer the time for action is delayed, the more dangerous it will be.

Fortunately, the group of orc captives has basically been trained and integrated into the kobold army system, greatly enhancing the strength of Austin's subordinate families.

At least after the number of people doubled, the confidence to face the blood wolves has also increased a lot.

Not to mention that the blue young dragon was thinking about how to give the blood wolves a hard time, and often went out to look for traces of the enemy.

On the side of Longchao Village, they also began to work hard for the lack of food.

The next day, the snow didn't fall any more, and the dark clouds in the sky were all gone. The whole sky was like a huge block of ice, blue.

There was a joint military exercise in Longchao Village early in the morning, and the previous kobolds also joined it.

Rows of queues are neat and orderly, as uncluttered as steel, and the spears are waving in unison, just a few simple movements, but it is very visually impactful, and the humming sound resounds through the sky.

Although the newly joined orcs have not seen blood, they believe that with the fusion of those old kobolds, their combat effectiveness will not be too bad.

After the military exercise, the expected military training of the orcs did not proceed as scheduled. Instead, under the order of the Kobold Pooh, they picked up their tools one after another and headed to a nearby frozen lake.

"Mom, is fishing in winter really that simple?"

Among the team, the little kobold Nina was also dispatched, helping to drag a wooden basket made of rattan.

The wooden basket was as tall as her alone, and it wobbled when she walked, but she didn't ask anyone to help her. There were not many things she could do in the cold winter, which made Nina very uncomfortable when she was idle. , So this time I also volunteered to help.

"His Royal Highness Austin said it himself, so it should be fine."

The bitch seemed a bit hesitant, but those of them who were the first to join Austin's subordinates had already worshiped the young blue dragon as gods and believed in the blue dragon's words. Although they were a little hesitant about catching fish so easily, Still did not hesitate to follow Austin's words.

"Well, what Master Blue Dragon said must be right."

Nina nodded hastily. Sometimes, what children believe is more pure than adults.

In a sense, the first batch of kobold family members, under Austin's deliberate training, have become the embryonic form of his fanatics.

The lake reservoir is not far from Longchao Village, and in a short while, a group of orcs came to the frozen lake.

The cold current in the cold winter is really severe, and the entire lake is covered with a thick layer of ice. Pooh walked around the lake and found that the ice under his feet was very solid.

Pooh looked at the white surroundings, and breathed out into the palm of his hand. White mist spewed out and dissipated into the air with the cold wind.

"Where should the hole be dug? Forget it, since His Highness didn't say anything, just find a place to dig."

In the end, he had no choice but to find a place close to the shore, and called a group of orcs to help dig the hole.

The reason for being close to the shore is that the ice layer will break during the drilling process, and even if the ice layer breaks and falls into the cold water, you can climb up.

A group of orcs were divided into three teams under Pooh's command, and they kept digging ice in the circles drawn not far away.

Because the hole dug out doesn't need to be very big, and too many people can't use it if they gather around, so it's just right to divide the orcs into three teams.

It's just that after a group of orcs slammed it, they found that even the strongest lizardman carried a sharp stone, and if he smashed it, he would only make a bowl-sized hole, and the distance from the lake under the ice was still [-] meters away. There is a good distance.

As for those short and thin goblins, it will be even more laborious.

"This"

Looking at the ice that was as hard as steel in the cold winter, the kobold leader Pooh was also dumbfounded.

It's no wonder that no orcs have discovered this method of catching fish in the past. When the cold winter comes, the orcs basically stay in their dens and don't move out. It's okay to waste your energy and run to make holes in the ice?But how did His Royal Highness Blue Dragon know about this method?
Many thoughts flashed through Pooh's mind, but they were quickly forgotten. The most important thing now is to dig holes and catch fish first, otherwise this cold winter will be difficult.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness Austin gave another method for making holes in the ice. I originally planned to make it easier to see if I could use a stone tool to make a hole, but now it seems that it will not work.

"Go to the forest and find some dead branches that have fallen on the ground, and prepare to burn them with fire."

In desperation, I can only use the method His Royal Highness Austin said.

After a while, an orc brought a bundle of dead branches from the woods. It was also in the cold winter, the moisture in the dead branches and dry wood on the ground was condensed out, which was considered good firewood.

But when a bundle of dead wood is piled on the ice, Pooh, the kobold leader, faces another big problem.

That is, no fire.

In the extremely low temperature outside, the cold wind blows again, and the heat generated by the collision of the stones is taken away by the cold air and dissipated in the air, making it impossible to ignite the fire.

Helpless, in the end they could only send an orc back to Dragon's Nest village to draw fire with wood.

During the period, the fire was extinguished several times before reaching the lake and reservoir because of running too fast, or the thatch that ignited the fire quickly burned out, and other reasons.

But things took a long time, and the fire was finally lit on the ice.

Seeing the firewood blazing on the ice, the ice on the lower layer began to melt, and the orcs on the side quickly got the melted water out with leaves, etc. Repeatedly, after about ten minutes, a stone basin-sized ice appeared on the ice. , a pothole about ten centimeters deep.

Through the thin layer of ice at the bottom of the pit, you can already see the lake below.

"Bring a wooden spear."

Remove the fire, grab the wooden spear and face the thin layer of ice at the level of the pit, which is a bucket.

Click!

Amid the crisp cracking sound, the last layer of ice instantly shattered like glass, revealing the surging lake below, and all the orcs stretched out their heads to look.

The hole has been dug, can it be successful?
