Chapter 231: 230. Salamander
Chapter 231 230. Salamander
The old village head grabbed a handful of volcanic ash on the ground, and asked Surdak suspiciously: "Can this thing be used to build walls?"
"Almost, I need to add some lime. You can try it first, and you won't lose anything anyway." Suldak said, he was not sure, who knows what difference the volcanic ash in this world would make, if he patted his chest and made As a guarantee, then the volcanic ash is useless at all, wouldn't it be a slap in the face.
The old village head felt that what Suldak said was not true, and there would be no loss if he tried it, so he shouted to a young villager: "Oh, Kakaro, put these volcanic ash in a bag, and carry it on your back." Go back to the village."
The villager named Kakaro was cleaning the stone slab. He swept away all the volcanic ash covering the slate, and then spread the blanket he carried on the slate. Hearing the order from the old village chief, he looked at The old village chief asked, "Uncle Brett, why are we carrying this thing in the village?"
The old village chief thought about it for a while, and didn't know how to explain it, so he gave Kakaro a somewhat irritated look, and reprimanded: "I let you recite it, you just do it, where is there so much nonsense."
The young villagers ran back immediately, found a cloth bag containing dry food, and took out the little dry food left in it. The old village head An ordered to fill a bag of volcanic ash and put it aside.
At this time, a villager ran back panting, and reported to the old village head with an exaggerated expression:
"Uncle Brett, there seems to be a gray rock iguana over there..."
The villagers were already wrapped in blankets and lying on the stone slabs. When they heard the shout, they all looked at the villager. Some couldn't help but mocked: "Ka Keluo, you can find the gray rock even if you run out to relieve yourself." Iguana? Why didn't the iguana bite your **** off!"
"hehe…"
Everyone burst out laughing.
The villagers who were already going to sleep got up one after another, preparing to take the poles and follow the old village chief to catch iguanas.
The old village chief looked at the sky and said: "It's so late, they got into the crevices of the rocks, we can't find them at all, let's rest first, we will talk about it tomorrow morning!"
In the past few days hunting gray rock iguanas in the Pagros Mountains, almost everyone has lost a lot of weight, and the skin on their bodies has been tanned to a layer of old skin. It can be said that the hunting here is quite hard. The old village head naturally had his own considerations and did not allow the villagers to continue hunting iguanas at night.
The old village head patted Cacoluo on the shoulder, told him to take the time to rest, and comforted him: "We have captured enough gray rock iguanas this time, of course, it would be nice if we could catch some more..."
…
When it was daylight, Suerdak was suddenly awakened by someone gently patting him. There was a faint burnt smell in the air, and his mouth was a little dry.
There was a thick layer of gray clouds floating in the sky, and traces of dust fell from the sky, all over his body and face.
Suldak saw that it was the old village head, and was about to speak, but the old village head held his mouth, put his finger next to his lips, and signaled him to silence.
Suldak quickly got out of his sleeping bag, and the old village head was already rushing to wake up the next villager. Two villagers in charge of the night watch were hiding behind a huge rock, thinking about the 'pustules' volcano. , Suldak walked over lightly, hid behind the stone and looked over there.
A monitor lizard covered in flames was lying in the volcanic ash. The lizard was nearly three meters long, and its body looked like an alligator, except that it was thicker, with very sharp claws and a pair of eyes As magnificent as a ruby, it looks like it is devouring a pale yellow stone, its mouth full of sharp teeth opens and closes, and a large piece of yellow rock is swallowed by it.
Suldak had never seen a lizard eat before. This scene completely overturned his understanding of lizards. Do lizards need to eat rocks?
An awakened villager walked over in a daze, waiting for him to see clearly the huge lizard covered in flames, sitting on the ground with his buttocks on the ground, his eyes were fixed, and his throat made a cooing sound. Crawled back, apparently startled by the large lizard that was all on fire.
"What the **** is that big guy?" The young villager asked frightenedly, lying behind the stone.
Before anyone could answer, the villager who was lying on the rock to monitor the big lizard jumped down from the big rock and said eagerly, "It seems to have seen us."
In addition, some villagers shouted: "Get out of here quickly..."
Suldak saw that the big lizard just turned its head and glanced this way, then ignored it and continued to gnaw on the light yellow rock there. He wanted to call the villagers to stop, but the scene was chaotic, no one wanted to listen to him, and the old village head could only call all the villagers to gather together, pack their luggage and not run away.
After running two kilometers from the stone wall, seeing that the big lizard hadn’t caught up, the villagers stopped panting beside a rock crevice, preparing to rest for a while before continuing on their way.
Suldak stopped, found the old village head who was counting people, and said seriously to the old village head: "I think I should have a way to deal with that big guy."
Hearing what Suldak said, the old village head opened his eyes as big as copper bells, and said to Suldak in a stern voice: "Give up this dangerous idea, little Dak, that is an adult Salamander!"
"I am also a knight." Surdak patted the shield behind him, showing confidence.
At this moment, the courage of the villagers has long been frightened by the salamander, and they have no fighting spirit on their faces.
Suldak said to the old village chief: "You just need to mark the road along the way. After I kill that big guy, skin it, and ride a horse, I should be able to catch up with you soon."
"Stay here if you are willing to help, and carry the gray rock iguana back if you don't want to take risks!" Village Chief Brett said to the surrounding villagers.
When the villagers heard what the old village head said, they "hula" stood behind the old village head, making it clear that they didn't want to face the big lizard again.
Only Charlie and Luke and a few other young people hesitated for a moment, walked up to Suldak, and asked Suldak with a hunting bow on their backs, "Tell me how we can help you?"
Suldak didn't refuse, but patted the shoulders of several young people, and said to Charlie: "I have a bag of stainless steel arrow clusters here, you can cut off the arrowheads of the wooden arrows and replace them with this one. Count on a wooden arrow to pierce a salamander's skin."
He took out a bag of refined steel arrow tufts from his magic pocket, and asked the young men to transform their own arrows first, then took off the alloy bow behind them, handed it to Charlie, and said to him: "Charlie , you take this alloy bow first, I won't be using it for the time being."
Suldak handed the 'Water Gathering Technique' magic scroll to the old village head, and said, "Uncle Brett, take everyone back first, and we will catch up in a short time."
The old village head did not hesitate, nodded and said: "Be smart, we will wait for you in front..."
