With a muffled sound, the iron ax was slashed hard on the tree trunk, and the sharp ax blade was deeply embedded in the trunk. Then the hands on the ax handle shook hard, and after bringing out some wood chips, the ax was pulled out again.
The one using the ax is a dwarf, a former member of the Three Swords mercenary group.
He was also wearing a bandage, which was used for chopping down trees, and red blood oozed from the white bandage.
Zhenjin walked over, looked at the dwarf's injuries, and asked with a smile: "Will the medicine be effective?"
"Ah, Master Zhenjin." The dwarf quickly put down his axe, bowed to Zhenjin, and then said gratefully, "The medicine is very effective, and my wound healed quickly. Thank you for your reward, sir."
"Well, let's continue working." Zhenjin patted the dwarf on the shoulder and walked away.
However, even this simple greeting and a pat on the shoulder made the dwarf glow.
Seeing such a scene, people around him also cast envious glances.
This is a condolence from a nobleman, a Templar!
When the dwarf swung the ax again, he felt that the ax was a little lighter.
The dwarves are still injured, but in order to cut down the wood as quickly as possible, these injuries must be forgotten. After yesterday's fierce battle, although the death toll was relatively small, the seriously injured people could only temporarily rest in the camp.
People with minor injuries also have to work and work hard so that the trees can be cut down as quickly as possible.
This is not only because food and water need to be found, but also because of teleportation. Zhenjin and Cangxu originally thought that the teleportation interval was fixed. But from Muban and others, they found that the teleportation time interval was not the same as before
Just as expected.
Maybe there is a pattern in the transmission, but so far this pattern has not been discovered.
Therefore, cutting down trees as soon as possible is the best solution.
If time is delayed and teleportation occurs again, but the wood is not enough, that would be terrible.
During breakfast today, Zhen Jin discussed the matter with Zong Ge, and the two groups started logging together.
The logging site was still on the hillside where the shipwright was in trouble before, and the trees here grew relatively taller.
Zhen Jin continued walking and soon saw Zong Ge.
Zonge shouted low, and the sharp ax in his hand drew a black shadow in the air, and then slashed hard on the tree trunk.
For a moment the bark flew and the tree shook violently.
Zong Ge struck a second time with his axe, and then kicked the tree trunk with his foot. The tree creaked and fell to the ground from slow to fast, with an astonishing sound.
"Lord Zong Ge is mighty!"
"It only took two axes..."
The former mercenary members around him were all amazed and cast admiring glances at Zong Ge.
Zong Ge smiled faintly, stepped on the fallen tree trunk, and quietly watched Zhen Jin walking towards him.
At this moment, due to logging, the armor on his upper body was removed, but the lower body was still covered in armor. He was injured on the chest, and now a bandage was wrapped around his chest and back, tightly wrapped around it.
Even so, Zong Ge's strong and huge chest muscles cannot be concealed. Due to strenuous labor, the muscles of his upper body have become more and more muscular. Coupled with his heavy breathing, flowing sweat, and some sticky long brown hair, the whole person looks more and more sturdy.
Brave.
Zhen Jin came to Zong Ge.
The young knight has not yet grown up, and his height can only reach Zong Ge's chest. And compared with Zong Ge's strong body, Zhong Jin looks thin.
"You want to try too?" Zong Ge handed the ax in his hand to Zhen Jin.
Zhen Jin smiled and shook his head: "I'm here to deliver medicine to you."
He handed a bag he was holding to Zong Ge.
"This is a new medicine that Zidi prepared urgently last night. It can speed up the repair of wounds." Zhen Jin said.
Zong Ge's eyes narrowed slightly, then he put down his ax and took Zhen Jin's bag.
"Thank you." He said calmly.
"We are all victims and have been reduced to this island. We should try our best to help each other." Zhen Jin's tone was very sincere, "By the way, I wonder if you have any bear meat over there? Zidi said, maybe use these
The medicine prepared from bear meat and bear blood will be more effective."
"I can exchange my lizard meat with you for a corresponding amount of bear meat."
"No need to change, I'll give them all to you." Zong Ge said grandly.
"Okay." Zhen Jin's smile became more sincere, "I'll take my leave now."
He had just taken a few steps when he suddenly saw a flock of birds flying in the woods in the distance.
Birds flew into the sky and screamed in panic.
Everyone who was cutting wood stopped what they were doing and looked at the birds with great concern.
Soon, they faintly heard a noisy cry.
This cry is becoming more and more obvious, and everyone is very familiar with the source of the sound.
"It's a bat monkey!"
"Quick, prepare to fight."
Everyone shouted.
"Wear armor for me." Zong Ge said in a deep voice.
"Yes, sir!" Someone immediately took out the upper body armor and put it on for him.
Zhen Jin quickened his pace and returned to the silly big boatman.
"Don't panic, this time it's not just me, but also Zong Ge and the others."
"Together, we will be able to win, just like in the previous battles."
Encouraged by Zhen Jin, everyone's eyes became firmer.
The attack from the bat monkey group came again, but before setting off, everyone was mentally prepared, so they calmed down after a little panic.
Zong Ge's group and Zhen Jin's group quickly formed formations and waited for the arrival of the bat monkey group.
At this moment, the screams of the bat monkeys were heard from the left and right of the crowd.
"Are we surrounded?"
"How many bat monkeys are there?"
Everyone couldn't help but become restless.
The momentum of the beast herd's attack this time was far greater than the previous two battles.
The forest obscures everyone's sight, and people don't know which direction has the most bat monkeys and the strongest attack.
The original formation concentrated its power mainly on the front and sides, leaving the rear relatively weak.
"I can use ultrasound to detect the specific number and the exact location of their main force." This idea flashed through Zhen Jin's mind, but was quickly rejected by him.
If he wants to investigate, he must change.
To emit ultrasound, his throat and nasal cavity must change.
To receive ultrasound, his ears also need to change.
This is too easy for people to spot.
"Stabilize the formation!" Zhen Jin reminded loudly. It was too late to adjust the formation now, so he could only bite the bullet and fight.
Soon, large groups of bat monkeys appeared from the front, left, and right, and all pounced on Zhen Jin and others.
The shipwright, Heijuan and others all picked up their crossbows, and Zhen Jin also picked up his repeating crossbow.
The arrows flew away, causing the bat monkeys to scream and their bodies to fall to the ground.
Zhenjin quickly shot all the arrows out of a quiver, and his results were remarkable. He killed more than twenty ordinary bat monkeys by himself.
He lowered his repeating crossbow, removed the empty quiver, took out a full quiver from his waist and loaded it again.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
As he kept pulling the trigger, short arrows flew through the air, killing bat monkeys one after another. The attack of the bat monkeys in front of them was temporarily stalled due to the needle gold's shooting skills.
After Zhenjin quickly emptied the second quiver, he began to help his companions on the side.
Under the cover of Zhenjin's firepower, the front lines on both sides quickly stabilized. Seeing that Zhenjin's fire was almost in vain, the morale of the crew was greatly boosted.
After Needle Gold replaced the third arrow box, the bat monkey group collapsed.
Zhen Jin did not slack off and immediately led a group of people to support Zong Ge.
Zong Ge and others are still fighting.
The scale of the bat monkeys they encountered was similar to that encountered by Zhenjin, but the close combat of the mangos meant that although they had the upper hand, their killing efficiency was relatively low.
With the support of Zhenjin's flying arrows, this group of bat monkeys quickly dispersed.
The battle has been decided.
Everyone cheered.
Zong Ge and Zhen Jin met, both sides looked worried.
"Although this group of bat monkeys is huge, there are only a few bronze-level bat monkeys and only two black iron-level bat monkeys, and they all escaped."
"The silver rhino didn't show up either."
While the two were discussing, a pink signal flare suddenly rose in the air.
"It's the camp! They were attacked."
"Let's support them together!"
Zhenjin and Zongge looked at each other, without any hesitation, joined forces and quickly returned to the reinforcement camp.
All the wounded were placed in the camp. Zidi and Cangxu were also in the camp. Once captured, the losses would be unimaginable!
Fortunately, the logging site and the camp were not very far apart, and everyone returned to the camp quickly.
In the camp, the silver rhino is wreaking havoc.
The central wooden house, which had just been renovated, had been completely trampled by rhinos.
But there were not many casualties among the people in the camp.
Because there was a thick smoke surrounding the camp.
This is a medicine prepared by Zi Di. It can be burned in a bonfire or a torch to form thick smoke. The thick smoke targets bat monkeys and stimulates their sense of smell. The bat monkeys fly outside the thick smoke and dare not go deep.
Although the Silver Rhino is not afraid of thick smoke, its charging route is too straight and it is not difficult to dodge.
There are also many buildings in the camp, which not only blocks the Silver Rhino but also gives people enough time to escape.
"I'll deal with these bat monkeys, Zong Ge, please kill that rhinoceros!" Zhen Jin shouted.
Zong Ge nodded. He was not willing to obey Zhen Jin's orders, but Zhong Jin's arrangement was the most reasonable at the moment. Now that the situation was urgent, Zong Ge didn't care so much with Zhong Jin.
There are not many bat monkeys flying in the sky, but they are obviously elite. The number of bronze bat monkeys and black iron bat monkeys is considerable.
Zhenjin led his men and horses first into the thick smoke, and then fired with crossbows.
The thick smoke greatly disturbed everyone's sight, but fortunately, the bat monkeys were afraid of the smell of the thick smoke and did not dare to rush in.
The advantages of sacrificing accuracy for the safety of everyone outweigh the disadvantages.
Only the needle-gold arrows are still sharp.
Because he squinted his eyes, his left eye mutated into a lizard's eye. With the assistance of thermal imaging vision, the thick smoke seemed to be nothing.
The bat monkeys did not dare to fight into the thick smoke and could only become targets.
"My current bat monkey transformation can only transform into a bronze bat monkey. This strength is too low. This time I will kill a few black irons to make this transformation stronger." Zhen Jin started thinking.
