Chapter 42 Second-Order Warcraft in the Territory, Iron Armored Giant Crocodile
Jonathan led the knights and followed closely behind the crowd.
About twenty minutes later, Chris and his party arrived at the destination.
The place Chris chose was more than a hundred acres of wasteland, with many waist-high weeds growing in the field.
There is a lake at the back, with many weeds floating on the water and some rotten lotus leaves.
The area of the lake is not small, about three hundred acres.
The biggest reason why it became deserted is that there is a second-level monster living in the lake - the Iron-clad Giant Crocodile.
In the early years, several serfs were killed by crocodiles.
At that time, the Jordan family sent many powerful knights to kill the crocodiles.
But the armored giant crocodile was so cunning that it never came ashore, and its skin was so hard that ordinary bows and arrows could not hurt it.
All the knights could only stare helplessly on the shore, and finally returned without success.
Hundreds of acres of fertile farmland were left uncultivated because of the presence of the crocodile, which made it impossible to get water from the lake to irrigate the fields.
Today, Chris will solve this big problem in front of the people.
He got off his horse and came to the lake, looking at the plain water thoughtfully.
"Sir, be careful!" Jonathan came to Chris and looked into the lake warily.
"Linda, can you cultivate branches as hard as iron? Oh, by the way, and tough vines that can't be pulled no matter how hard they are pulled." Chris looked at the female magician beside him.
He knew that Linda had many magical plants that could be released at any time.
Linda nodded without hesitation: "Yes! What do you want me to do?"
Chris took out the paper and pen from the space ring and drew a curved hook with a barb on the tip and a small hole on the end.
Yes, this is the fishhook.
Chris wants to fish out the crocodile just like fishing.
"How big do you want it to be?" Linda blinked and asked.
"Wait a minute." Chris took out a piece of red pork from the ring, which weighed more than ten kilograms. He tore off a small piece and threw it into the river.
The piece of pork was infused with wind magic and could float lightly on the water.
Not long after, I saw a huge brown-gray tree floating over, a whirlpool appeared, and the pork disappeared.
Then, the giant tree did not leave, but lingered nearby.
Chris threw all the pork in his hand towards the lake, then quickly took out his magic wand and pointed it, and a whirlwind appeared on the water, carrying the ten kilograms of pork and preventing it from falling.
The lake was calm, and everyone held their breath and waited quietly.
Finally, the giant iron-clad crocodile couldn't hold it any longer, jumped out of the water with a "crash", brought up a large splash of water, and bit into the piece of pork.
Everyone present also saw the full picture of the second-order monster.
The crocodile is nearly four meters long, its waist is thicker than a water tank, its body is covered with hard black-gray armor, and its brown-yellow teeth are longer than human fingers, like saw teeth.
Hundreds of people took a few steps back unconsciously, and some were even so frightened that they sat on the ground, trembling.
Chris asked: "See clearly?"
Linda nodded heavily: "Yeah!"
"Okay, let's start making the fishhook."
Chris called on the residents to clear the nearby weeds.
Linda, on the other hand, is preparing to cultivate magic plants according to the drawings.
I saw her holding the magic wand, grabbing a soybean-sized seed from her purse, and burying it in the soil.
A light green light flashed at the top of the wand, and a black bud quickly sprouted from the soil, growing at an extremely fast speed.
In less than half a minute, the bud grew into a sapling more than half a meter tall, and then following Linda's thoughts, the top began to bend.
It bends about halfway and stops growing, but a small inverted spike emerges from the front.
When all the leaves fell off, Linda pulled them out of the soil and poked a small hole in the lower end of the trunk with her wand.
A simple giant fishhook is ready in just three minutes.
Immediately afterwards, Linda took out a green seed the size of a walnut from her purse and planted it.
A cluster of green vines broke through the soil and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Linda continued to inject magic, and beads of sweat soon appeared on the tip of her playful nose, but she was completely unaware of it.
The vine was as thick as a baby's arm and did not stop until it grew more than two hundred meters horizontally.
"Phew, it's done." Linda put away her wand, her face covered with sweat.
Chris patted her shoulder and said with concern: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. Please go aside and rest first."
After finishing, Chris turned to Jonathan and the others and said: "You only have one chance. If you fail this time, it will be difficult to fish it out in the future, so we must succeed. Do you understand?"
Jonathan and the three knights under him shouted in unison: "Understood!"
"Okay, get ready to fight."
The four knights "Qiang Qiang" drew their swords and stood ready.
Chris passed the vine through the small hole at the end of the fishhook and tied a tight knot, then took out ten pounds of pork from the ring and hooked it on the fishhook.
The other end of the vine was tied to Lagen's back. Chris called out a greeting and called all the residents over, asking hundreds of people to hold on to the vine tightly.
"Everyone is ready. Listen to my command later and let's all pull together." Chris shook it twice and threw the fishhook that caught the pork into the water.
Ten seconds later, the sound of "fluttering" water appeared on the lake, and the vines tightened instantly.
Chris knew the fish was hooked, so he shouted loudly: "One, two, three, pull! One, two, three, pull!"
One hundred and forty people worked together and worked hard in one place, like a tug of war, pulling the armored giant crocodile to the shore bit by bit.
How can a simple little crocodile know the dangers of the human heart?
No matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't break free, and could only helplessly watch itself being dragged to the shore bit by bit.
Although the second-level monster is very powerful, it cannot withstand the power of hundreds of people.
"One, two, three, pull!"
Seeing that the effect was good, Chris continued: "When the crocodile is successfully pulled up, I will reward each person with thirty copper coins."
When they heard that the baron was going to reward them with thirty copper coins, the citizens all became energetic and even used up their energy to feed themselves.
The huge body of the armored giant crocodile was pulled to the shore, its limbs fluttering wildly and its body twisting violently.
Even though they were dozens of meters away, the people standing at the front were trembling with fear.
"Everyone, try harder!" After working for a while, Chris saw that his men were a little tired and shouted quickly, "I'll give you an increase of fifty copper coins!"
Upon hearing this, hundreds of people became even more excited, as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, and their whole bodies were full of strength.
With everyone's concerted efforts, the armored giant crocodile was pulled one kilometer away from the lake, and a long ravine was plowed on the ground.
After making sure that the crocodile would not easily escape into the lake, Chris waved his hand and said, "Do it!"
