In the afternoon, the Qiaotou camp became very lively. Many adventure groups brought back some hunted monsters from outside the camp. The entire camp looked like a large slaughterhouse.
There are peelers everywhere peeling, cutting and dividing the bodies of red ants. After peeling off the hard skins, they have to be soaked in the acid solution of red ants for two days to completely soften them before they can be spread on the ground.
Drying on wooden boards.
After drying, the ghost pattern red ant leather is very smooth, but it is also hard.
This kind of hard skin is easier to transport, and the peeled red ant meat can be dried into dried meat. The tentacles and acid venom sacs of the ghost-striped red ants are also purchased by special personnel.
Nowadays, the trade of ghost-patterned red ants and warcraft materials in Duodan Town has evolved into an industrial chain. Almost every bit of material in the body will not be wasted. If there were so many merchants in Duodan Town when the beast tide broke out,
The corpses of ghost-marked red ants piled up outside the city wall may bring greater wealth to Duodan Town.
I heard that the ghost-striped red ants were forced by the adventure group to not dare to escape from the poisonous fog in the swamp. It seems that a large number of ghost-striped red ants are still captured by the adventure group every day.
Some thoroughly dried hard skins had already been loaded onto the truck, along with sacks of dried meat, which were also transported back to Dodan Town.
Surdak changed out of the magic pattern structure on his body and walked around the camp casually without any followers.
Not far away, I saw a skinner cutting translucent fresh meat. More than half of the hard armor of the ghost-striped soldier ants had been peeled off on the meat table.
The skinning technique was very skillful. Seeing Surdak standing behind and watching, he cut off half of the arm-thick red ant leg and handed it over.
"Take it back and try it. The red ant meat from this part tastes best when grilled." The skinner said to Suldak enthusiastically.
Surdak waved his hand. As long as he was a warrior who had experienced the beast tide, no one would be willing to eat this kind of jelly-like meat.
Seeing the skinner's cutting technique, Suldak pulled out the skinning knife and said to the skinner: "You can try to cut here, along this dark line, so that you can cut at least
You can peel five ghost-striped red ants in a row without sharpening your knife.”
The skinner followed the cutting points pointed out by Suldak, and the skinning knife silently cut into the hard armor, and it really felt much smoother.
When he peeled off the hard armor, he raised his head and wanted to express his gratitude to Surdak, but found that Surdak had left quietly.
Surdak walked on the edge of the camp and climbed to a high observation tower. He looked up and saw the rocs flying southward in the sky. It seemed that their predatory area was extending southward, and the Invercargill Forest was
To the south is the northern occupied area of Bena Province in the White Forest Plane. This area is filled with a large number of pastures and small towns.
The Pengniao family here dominates the sky of the White Forest Plane, so much so that there are no magic airships in the White Forest Plane.
However, for a long time, rocs rarely flew over Thorny Mountain.
Suldak guessed that the ghost-striped red ants in the Dark Worm Valley were hunted in large numbers by the adventure group, so that the ghost-striped red ants usually hide in caves, and the rhinoceros birds cannot catch enough food, so they have to fly to
Hunting in the grasslands south of the Thorn Mountains.
As the Invercargill Forest is developed bit by bit, many negative impacts are gradually revealed.
Ghost-patterned red ant leather has now become an industrial chain in the northern part of the Bailin plane, and a large number of leather goods have been sent to Bena City.
But now...Suldak discovered that on the high platform of the watchtower, two crossbows were installed with a pitch angle of 90 degrees that could shoot into the sky.
It seems that the Pengniao should have attacked the Qiaotou camp...
…
Andrew and Tago returned to the camp with a group of cavalry, but they failed to capture the slave-catching adventure group this time.
They probably knew that the garrison camp would punish the slave-catching adventure group this time, and they would also have to be hung on a wooden cross outside the camp and exposed to the scorching sun.
The members of the adventure group were forced to a cliff in the Great Rift Valley by the cavalry who came to round them up. All the members of the adventure group would rather jump off the cliff to fight for their lives than be captured without mercy.
Seeing the members of the adventure group jumping into the rapids of the canyon one after another, some of them were unlucky and fell directly to death on the rocky shoals. Andrew felt inexplicably irritable.
Back at the camp, Surdak was waiting in the barracks.
Wolf Rider Tiger immediately stepped forward and said to Suldak:
"Boss, when did you arrive?"
"We'll be here at noon."
Seeing Andrew sitting aside angrily, Suldak asked him:
"What's going on here?"
Andrew told Suldak about the slave-catching group jumping off the cliff.
Surdak nodded and said:
"I guess it won't take long for this matter to spread in this area, and I guess those slave-catching groups will be able to restrain themselves by then."
Andrew saw that Suldak did not mention the ghost-marked red ants, so he asked Suldak:
"Boss, haven't you seen Bob Cobden when you got here?"
Suldak looked confused and asked: "Bob Cobden, who is he?"
"It's a member of the adventure group who was seriously injured..." Andrew answered casually.
Then he raised the curtain of the barracks and shouted outside the garrison camp: "Who is the squadron leader staying in the camp today?"
After a while, a squadron leader ran in and saluted Andrew.
At this time, Andrew pulled Suldak and was about to walk out of the barracks, and angrily yelled at the confused squadron leader:
"Kingsley, what did you do? Didn't I say that when the commander arrived at the bridge camp, he must report Bob Cobden's incident as soon as possible?"
The squadron leader named Kingsley immediately explained:
"Captain, the adventure group in the camp this afternoon wants to use various channels to rescue the members of the adventure group who are hanging on the wooden cross outside. I have been dealing with this matter and haven't had time to report it to the commander.
"
Andrew pushed Kingsley aside, took Suldak's arm, and said, "Boss, come with me!"
Captain Kingsley was pushed back two steps by Andrew and followed from behind without saying a word.
Andrew led Suldak through the camp and came to the outside of a tent. Without even saying hello, he opened the tent curtain and walked in.
There was a faint smell of blood and acid rot inside the tent. There was a felt blanket on the floor. An injured member of the adventure group was lying on the blanket wrapped in bandages, looking like a mummy.
Andrew squatted next to the adventure group member, nodded to the adventure group members on the side as a greeting, and then said to Suldak: "Boss, this person is Bob Cobden."
Surdak saw that there was only one member of the adventure group left in the tent, probably staying to take care of the wounded man.
When I walked forward, I discovered that the wounded man lying on the carpet seemed to have been corroded by the acid rot of red ants, and some blood was seeping from the hemostatic bandage wrapped around his body.
There is also an empty bottle of high-quality healing potion on the shelf nearby.
This kind of advanced healing potion is not something you can buy in remote areas like Duodan Town. I remember that Andrew should have two bottles in stock. They were brought back from the battlefield. He glanced at Andrew and didn't expect that this Bao
Bob Cobden deserves a bottle of good healing potion from Andrew.
In addition to the healing potions, there are also bottles of antidote potions next to them.
Bob Cobden was lying on the carpet, his breathing short and weak. If there were no other treatment methods, he might die soon.
Surdak lifted off a piece of hemostatic bandage, and the skin inside had begun to rot.
The members of the adventure group standing by looked at their companions with sad faces...
Suldak did not ask, he squatted down, raised his hand to condense a ball of Holy Light, and then dropped it on Bob Cobden's head.
The Holy Light spell has the power to purify acidic liquid. Balls of Holy Light fell down, and Bob Cobden's condition slowly improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The man's rapid breathing turned into gentle moans. It could be seen that the pain on his body was still continuing, but he was finally able to scream.
Andrew looked at Suldak. Even if the two didn't speak, they could understand each other's eyes through eye contact.
Andrew was asking Suldak: 'Can this man be saved?'
Suldak then nodded and said: 'This man can still be saved.'
Andrew didn't say anything. He patted his companion who was guarding Bob Cobden and said to him: "Let's go outside and wait!"
Only Surdak was left in the tent. Surdak set up a sacrificial altar, summoned the Two-Faced Demon God, and quickly sacrificed the head of a hell dog.
A beam of light fell on Bob Cobden.
The 'Blessed Body' fell on him, and the powerful recovery power immediately made Bob Cobden become more awake.
Surdak gave himself the blessing power of the 'Eye of Truth' through the hell dog's head, and then saw the situation inside through the layers of bandages. Almost all the surface of Bob Cobden's body was covered in acid.
The liquid corroded it, as if the whole person had fallen into a pool of acid.
The recovery power of the Divine Blessing Body is very effective for him, but if he wants his injuries to improve, he may have to pay a higher price.
It can be said that one of the high-end sacrifices that Surdak brought out from the big battlefield is one less, and it is almost difficult to replenish them here.
But judging from Andrew's attitude, he should be trying to save the members of the adventure group in front of him.
He had no choice but to take out another demon warrior's head from the demon-sealing box and sacrifice it, and a stronger divine light fell on Bob Cobden's body.
'Tyrants'
As long as there is still breath, people will not die in the hegemonic state.
Seeing that Bob Cobden was in a peaceful coma again, Suldak began to carefully cut off the hemostatic bandage on his body, and then began to clean the pus and blood from the ulcers all over his body.
"Prepare some clean water and new hemostatic bandages." Surdak shouted outside the tent.
After a while, the squadron leader named Kingsley stood outside the tent with a basin of water and asked cautiously: "Can I come in?"
Surdak walked to the door, took the basin, and blocked him outside the tent.
After some cleaning, almost all the remaining acid on his body was washed away, and the wounds were re-bandaged before he walked out of the tent with a wooden basin.
The member of the adventure group waiting outside immediately got into the tent to check on Surdak's treatment.
Suldak poured away the blood in the basin, saw Captain Kingsley still waiting outside the tent, and asked strangely: "Where's Andrew?"
"The captain is dealing with the slave-catching adventure group members outside the camp..." Squadron Leader Kingsley answered honestly.
Kingsley is a veteran brought by Surdak from the Desolate Land. He originally joined the cavalry battalion because of his rich combat experience, but he has some hidden diseases in his body. He has been through Surdak's Holy Light Technique and Divine Blessing several times.
After receiving physical treatment, not only did his body recover as before, he was actually promoted to a first-class warrior and accepted the magic pattern of being colonized by Surdak.
Now he is a squadron leader in the cavalry battalion.
Suldak patted him on the shoulder and told him: "Go! Call Andrew back..."
…
Holding a whip in his hand, Andrew strode into the barracks and placed the whip in the corner of the barracks.
Surdak was sitting with Tago, Gulitem, and Bonita, shaving meat from a roasted yellow sheep. The frost wolf was also enjoying the treatment of the barbecue, instead of everyone eating the leftovers.
meat bones.
After getting along with each other for a long time, everyone discovered that except that this frost wolf could not speak Imperial language, it had the same intelligence as an adult.
Moreover, his performance in the battle earned him the respect of everyone in the team, and he also gained the right to dine together.
Tago took a knife, cut off a piece of bloodshot meat, put it on Bonita's plate, and gave Andrew an empty plate.
Andrew didn't mind it either, so he cut off a piece of meat from the burnt place, sprinkled some salt on it, and stuffed a piece into his mouth.
"Andrew, don't be too extreme with those adventurous groups that capture slaves. We just need to let them know our attitude." Surdakna and the knife said.
Andrew groaned.
Seeing Andrew's disinterested expression, Surdak continued: "You have to give them some time. Some things need to be changed subtly. In many places in the Green Empire, slave hunting is legal. I am afraid that many adventure groups
I can’t understand why we should ban slave catching..."
"So we have to publicize that even if slave hunting harms my interests, it is equivalent to appropriating my property, and we can use imperial laws to restrict them from the standpoint of aristocrats."
"Rather than using extreme profiteering methods..."
Seeing that Suldak had said so much, Andrew said impatiently: "I know, boss, I will listen to you on this matter!"
"By the way, how is Bob Cobden's situation?" Andrew took a sip of ale and then asked.
Suldak nodded to Andrew and said: "I have used all the means that should be used. If nothing else happens, things should get better tomorrow morning. Andrew, is he your friend?"
Andrew was startled for a moment, then shook his head and replied: "No..."
