Five days later, Yan Mo saw Jiuyuan City, which was already in sight.
At this time, two months had passed since he left Jiuyuan. Jiuyuan was in midsummer, and he didn’t feel too hot in the black forest. After he came out, the sun was so bright that it was so hot that the sun was shining directly on his body, and the fur could no longer be worn. Yan Mo I took off my leather jacket four days ago, and weaved a grass skirt around the weeds on the island where I stayed.
There are many good things on those small islands in Qingyuan Lake, but unfortunately there is not enough time, he has no time to start a carpet search, so he can only take some plants he can recognize and put them in the herb bag. On the third night, he saw a bamboo-like plant on a small island near the island where he was resting, but he was not sure. He wanted to ask the mermaids to take him to the island, but the mermaids directly refused.
The mermaid warriors told him that many islands in the lake are not allowed to go up casually, some are ordered by the great witch, and some have dangerous creatures on them, and the island that Yan Mo suspects grows bamboo is a forbidden area designated by the great witch long ago One, without the permission of the great witch and the leader, even mermaids are not allowed to approach those forbidden areas casually.
For this, Yan Mo could only express regret.
Having said that, people will not be too far away when they see the city, but Yan Mo did not expect that he would see the soldiers of Jiuyuan at the mouth of the river where the moat and Qingyuan Lake connected.
At this moment, a mermaid warrior pushing the raft floated out of his upper body and said, "We agreed with your warriors to jointly guard the entrance of the moat inside and outside Jiuyuan City, and the leader of our clan also agreed."
"Oh?" Yan Mo had no objection to guarding the entrance of the city river with the mermaids. They are too weak now. Instead of being wary of powerful neighbors, it is better to get along with each other. If the mermaids really want to pass through the moat Come to invade and attack Jiuyuan City, the current Jiuyuan has no good way to deal with it, in this case, it is better to be generous.
A mermaid swam over, probably one of the warriors patrolling or guarding the mouth of the river nearby.
The mermaid warrior came out of the water and saluted Yan Mo before submerging into the water again to communicate with his companions.
Although it was only for a moment, Yan Mo could still see that the mermaid warrior was curious about the raft.
The Jiuyuan warriors who entered the estuary also saw the raft and Yan Mo on the raft.
"Lord Mo! You're back!" The soldiers shouted happily, waving their hands. If it wasn't for the lake, they seemed to want to jump into the water to pick up their priest.
Yan Mo also waved to them from a distance.
The speed of the raft slowed down, and it slowly drifted to the bank of the river mouth. The mermaid warriors who were pushing behind got on the raft one after another, paddling around with only their fish tails in the water. Not like the first time, because they all gathered at one end, causing the raft to almost capsize.
The Jiuyuan warriors were also very interested in the raft that the priest stepped on, but they had more important things to report.
"Master Mo, it's good that you are back, great, you don't know..." A soldier hurriedly reported the situation to Yan Mo, stepped on the raft, and the raft shook. With a bang, the soldier fell into the river.
The soldiers guarding the mouth of the river, both humans and mermaids, were taken aback for a moment, and immediately burst out laughing together. Some of them were more honest and wanted to go into the water to catch people, but the mermaids were faster than them. When the soldier fell into the water, A merfolk warrior sitting right next to him had slid into the water.
"Ahem!" The soldier was pushed ashore from the river by the mermaid, choking on the water for a long time.
Yan Mo suppressed his smile, he recognized the soldier, he was the young man who sneaked into the mermaid Norma last time, "Everyone should learn how to swim in the future, there are two moats at home, and there is also Qingyuan Lake, if you don't know how to swim, you have to. "
"Swimming?" The soldiers were curious.
"It's just swimming in water like a fish."
"People swim in the water like a fish?" The soldiers were extremely surprised.
The mermaid warriors looked at each other, if humans could live in water like fish...
Yan Mo glanced at the faces of the mermaids, and said with a smile: "It's not that they can live in water like real fish, but that they can fall into the water without drowning immediately. They have good physical strength and good swimming skills. People can swim back and forth in the moat without drowning."
"Oh oh oh! That's fine!" The soldiers asked their priests one after another how they could learn to swim in the water.
"I will teach you this later. Tell me first, what happened in the tribe without the leader and I? You, come up and tell me." Yan Mo pointed to the soldier who fell into the water and asked him to come up to the raft.
Although the soldier fell into the water once, he didn't feel afraid at all. Seeing that the priest was still willing to let him go up the row of logs tied together, he immediately wanted to jump up again excitedly.
"Stop!" Yan Mo had no choice but to stop. According to the soldier's method of getting on the raft, not only would he fall into the water again, but the raft might be overturned by him.
"I'm holding your hand, step on it slowly, don't force your feet, relax your body, sit down first when you come up, and stand up when you get used to it." Yan Mo stretched out his hand and guided the soldier onto the raft step by step.
The other soldiers all looked at the young man enviously. They also wanted to get on the raft, and they also wanted to be stroked by the priest... Hey, hey!
The mermaid warriors didn't go into the water when they saw that they didn't have to hurry any longer. They all sat leisurely on the edge of the raft, only sliding the long fish tails hanging in the river, and the sliding force of these fish tails was enough to move the raft forward. When the priests go to sleep on the island at night, this raft is their toy. No one is more proficient in how to operate this raft than these few mermaid warriors.
The soldiers guarding the mouth of the river originally wanted to send someone back to report the news. Seeing that the raft could directly enter the inner moat, and its speed might be faster than their running on the road, they didn't do anything more, but one of them still took off the raft hanging from his waist. The horn sounded the promised signal.
Yan Mo looked back when he heard the sound of the horn, thinking that there must be more means of notification, the sound of the horn is limited, the city is already there, and the beacon tower should also appear, and these soldiers guarding a certain place are also there. They need a place to rest, and there are a large number of members of the Xiran tribe. Even if none of these people is a capable fighter, it should not be difficult to make an earth blockhouse out of soil mud.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Yan Mo asked the soldier who was sitting on the raft trying to stand up, "Sit down first and tell me, what's your name?"
"Yes! Lord Mo, I am Zhu Neng, my younger brother Zhu Li, you took his name." Zhu Neng blushed and did not move, and sat obediently in the water—no way, the raft was made crudely, although It will not sink, but the river will inevitably flood the raft through the gaps.
Yan Mo smiled, he remembered Zhu Li, a child like a little old man, every time he saw him, he would salute him like a soldier, and his face was particularly prone to bloodshot, that's why he named him Zhu Li, he didn't expect this The young man who stole the mermaid was actually the kid's older brother, and the two brothers had completely different personalities.
"Zhu Neng, did something important happen in the tribe?"
"Yes, Lord Mo, there are a lot of dwarves in the tribe, so many, so many!" Zhu Neng was still stuttering, and he didn't know how to describe many words. Yan Mo listened for a long time before he understood what was going on.
According to Zhu Neng, shortly after they left, a group of dwarves came to the tribe, much more than the first time the dwarves came. These dwarves took up places everywhere when they came, and they were still digging in the ground. They didn't listen to Mr. Meng. The command.
Zhu Neng kept complaining, saying that those dwarves still wanted to rob them of their city. Later, Lord Meng, Lord Ramon, and the original dwarves beat them up together, and finally drove them out of Jiuyuan City. Those dwarves refused to leave, so they occupied a piece of land between the inner and outer moats, and learned how to build houses in Jiuyuan.
Yan Mo grasped the point, "You said that the original dwarves worked with you to drive the later dwarves out of the city?"
Zhu Neng nodded vigorously, "They know each other, but they are not from the same tribe."
Yan Mo learned from Zhu Neng that everyone did not agree to let these dwarves in at first, but among those dwarves were relatives of the first batch of dwarves, and those dwarves threatened the first batch of dwarves with those relatives. The clan witches and patriarchs went to beg Meng, and then Meng let the dwarves come in because he was afraid that the first dwarves would also make trouble.
When Yan Mo heard that Meng agreed to let the dwarves enter the city, he couldn't help but frowned slightly. Yuan Zhan was not there, and it was not appropriate for Meng to do things. At that time, he should be tougher. It's good to put in the dwarves too.
When Yuan Zhan left, for the sake of safety, the dirt roads on the moat of the north and south city gates had been cut off, leaving only one on the west side, and an open space behind the east city gate, directly connected to Qingyuan Lake.
They defended the city, as long as they cut off the dirt road on the west moat, those dwarves would not be able to come in, and the people living in the city could live only by the animals and plants in the large open space between the east city gate and Qingyuan Lake. It's been a long time, not to mention the huge Qingyuan Lake behind.
"My lord, look!" Zhu Neng pointed to the northwest, where a construction site under construction appeared in the open space between the inner and outer moats.
Yan Mo's eyes turned cold, trying to take advantage of Jiuyuan? Okay, let's see how much you can pay.
"Is there any connection between the dwarves in the city and the first group outside the city?"
Zhu Neng scratched his head, apparently not quite clear.
"Were there any casualties when these dwarves were driven out of the city? I mean ours."
"Someone was injured, no one died."
Yan Mo nodded, so his methods can be a little gentler.
What Zhu Neng knew was limited after all, but Meng, Hu Hu and the others had already reached the gate of the South City ahead of time when they heard the sound of the horn. This is the nearest gate from Qingyuan Lake to Jiuyuan City.
When the raft is docked, the water is still some distance away from the shore. There is no shore ladder, so we can only wait for the people on the shore to pull them up.
When he saw Yan Mo suddenly, he exhaled exaggeratedly on the spot, but he obviously didn't expect Yan Mo to come back from the moat. All the people standing at the port looked at the priest for a while, and then at the raft for a while. Very curious.
"Mo, you're finally back!" Meng greeted Yan Mo, while scratching his head and trying to get him up.
A ladder would be enough. Yan Mo turned to look at the mermaid warrior. The mermaids smiled and understood what he meant. The mermaids slid into the water one after another. The water surface where the raft was located soon rose little by little until it reached the river bank. flush.
Zhu Neng was so courageous that he jumped off the raft, jumped directly up the steps, and then turned around and stretched out his hand to catch Yan Mo.
Pushing him away, he thought Yan Mo still couldn't touch any living things.
Yan Mo smiled, and after thanking the mermaid warrior, he kicked his feet slightly and jumped onto the shore. He is not a young man who only had physical strength but no military power before. A little change has taken place, coupled with his self-torture, his current body has reached the third level in terms of physical fitness and ability.
Meng Xiaoxiao was surprised, seeing that Yuan Zhan was not there, she wanted to hug him when she came up—he was just making movements.
Yan Mo didn't give him face and kicked him away.
Hu Hu and the other fighters who followed saw it, and each of them snickered.
Meng was not angry, and walked forward again with a playful smile. He wondered why Mo dared to touch him. He was just about to ask him, but his eyes suddenly widened when the words came to his lips, and then there was a miserable scream: "Ah! What? Will this happen?"
Yan Mo was taken aback by him, his kick wasn't that hard, right
He swooped in front of him, staring blankly at his face, and shouted in great grief: "You are a third-level fighter! Why am I still a second-level fighter?"
"...you didn't practice the primary training method?"
"I practice! I practice every day! I practice hard! But why why why?!" He gritted his teeth fiercely, crouched down with his head in his arms, stood up again, and at the same time looked directly at Yan Mo's face with very resentful eyes.
Yan Mo twitched, "Give me your wrist?"
"Hey? You can touch people now? Ah! Your hair has turned black!"
Yan Mo resisted the desire to kick him again, dare you spend all your powers of observation on observing other people's appearance? None of those fighters noticed this before, and you alone reacted the most.
He stretched out his hand fiercely, still talking about why.
Yan Mo thought to himself that you haven't seen Yuan Zhan yet, when you see the fifth tattoo mark on the animal's face, wouldn't you just jump into the river and commit suicide
"Quiet!" Yan Mo couldn't bear the violent noise.
Shut up immediately.
In exchange, Yan Mo felt the pulse of both Meng Meng's hands, bypassing him and walking towards the city.
When everyone saw him move, they all hurriedly followed, and they didn't even care about the raft in the river, but it was useless for them to care, the mermaids had already regarded the raft as their property, and as soon as Yan Mo landed, they would Pushed the raft away.
"Mo? My Lord Priest?!" Meng quickly chased after him, "Do I still have hope to become a third-level fighter? Is there something wrong with my body? Can it be cured?"
Yan Mo stopped whetting his appetite, and said as he walked, "You are about to break through."
"...Hey? What? Ah! What you said is true?" Meng almost went crazy with joy, jumped three feet high on the spot, and wanted to hug Yan Mo again, but was dodged by Mo with a wrong step.
"And," Yan Mo turned around, and added slowly: "I think you will probably awaken your bloodline ability while becoming a third-level fighter."
"..." This time Meng was completely sluggish, and he was completely overwhelmed by great joy. Now he has no other thoughts in his mind, only the words Mo said are scrolling repeatedly.
Bloodline ability! Bloodline ability! He is about to awaken his bloodline ability! Aww!
Hu Hu and other warriors who heard it all looked at Xi stunned Meng with envy. What Master Mo said must be true. Besides the leader, priest, and Wu Chen, there will be a fourth warrior with abilities in the tribe. I don't know if they will also have the day when they will awaken their bloodline ability
Primary training method, is this the key to upgrade fighters and awaken bloodline abilities? Will Lord Mo teach them too? Will they be able to be like Lord Meng as long as they work harder and be more loyal
"Meng, I heard you had a fight with the new dwarf? Meng!"
"Yes!" With a shiver, he woke up from the ecstasy, wiped his face, and walked level with Yan Mo, "I think you may have heard what Zhu Neng said, the thing is like this..."
