Fili yawned and patted the woman lying in his arms on the buttocks, "Honey, I have to go out for a walk."

The woman got up, picked up the dress from the ground and put it on, but didn't ask anything.

But Fei Li took the initiative and said: "Andy, that idiot, is so rigid in everything he does, and his brain is not clear. If the adults tell him to find someone, he will look for him honestly. It doesn't matter if he finds someone or not, do you understand? Baby .”

The dressed maid saluted Philip, "My lord, may you travel safely."

Fili leaned on the bed and muttered: "I really don't want to go out, let's go to a savage land, my God, I'm trembling with fear when I think that I might be caught by those savages and roasted on the fire. Baby, you Don't you miss me?"

Maid, "I will pray for you."

"Baby, do you want to come with me? We can build a kingdom in the wilderness together. I will be the king and you will be my queen."

The maid bowed again and left without looking back.

"Hey! Baby! You can't be so cruel every time!" Fei Li jumped up from the bed naked. He wanted to chase the maid, but was almost hit on the bridge of his nose when the door was slammed shut.

"Okay, okay, you will never believe that I love you, God knows I really love you." Fili muttered and fell back on the bed again, he really didn't want to go to the other side of the mountain!

After Yan Mo blessed the two of them, he began to feel drowsy, but at this moment, a warrior came to report that the leader invited him to the outer moat.

"What happened?" In his situation, Yuan Zhan would definitely not let people come to him.

The warrior who came to report replied: "A group of gray-green dwarves appeared by the river, only this tall."

The warrior gestured at the base of his thigh, "They gathered by the river and didn't know what they were doing. Lord Meng said they seemed to be hunting."

Yan Mo didn't get any more information after asking again. The snow outside the inner city hadn't melted yet, but Yuan Zhan had already cleared a road leading directly to the west city gate.

At present, counting from the outer city wall, the entire city covers an area of about 36 square kilometers. With the inner moat as the boundary line, the radius of the inner city is two kilometers, and the area is about 12 square kilometers.

From the stele at the center of the inner city to the west gate of the outer city, the diameter is less than three and a half kilometers. If you walk on foot and the road conditions are good, you can usually walk in an hour.

It was much easier to walk on the dirt road without snow. The four guards carried chairs and ran cautiously but quickly.

Warriors descended from the earthen walls to meet them.

Nowadays, the outer city wall is not considered a city wall, but only a relatively high mound, and its defensive effect is not strong.

Going up to the top of the mound, the situation of the moat below can be seen more clearly.

The outer moat with a width of 150 meters is quite amazing visually. Under the sunlight, it sparkles, and mottled green can already be seen by the river.

The gray-green dwarves the warrior spoke of are in the riverside clearing to the southwest.

In addition to those dwarves, you can also see some animals wandering by the river.

Yuan Zhan walked to Yan Mo's side, Yan Mo's expression was slightly weird.

Those dwarves were all gray and green, and they were also wearing animal skins, but what were they doing

If he read correctly, they seemed to be hunting by the river, and even built a fire on the spot.

In addition to the hunting dwarves, there are many dwarves holding wooden spears facing the outside and guarding.

They saw the dwarves, and the dwarves saw them.

By the moat.

Several dwarves leaned together and whispered.

"see it?"

"I see, a group of big fools!"

"But this group of idiots created a big river here in one winter. There was nothing here before."

"Are these big fools going to eat us? Ahh, they're looking at me!"

"Dede, shut up! Don't scream!"

"Shall we go back? These big fools look scary! They're two of us... no, the biggest guy is two and a half tall!"

"What are you afraid of? We can drill holes, can they? These big fools can't get in our holes, they are too big!"

"Oh oh oh, I just hope these big fools don't eat people. Ge Ge, let's go back when we get the food, everyone is still waiting for us."

"Let's go now? I think this place is very good and suitable for our new residence."

"No matter how good it is, it will be taken by the idiots. We have to find another place."

"My God, they're down again! They're coming out of the valley again! Let's run!"

Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan led the people out, and saw an open space where there was only a fire, but not a single dwarf, and they were speechless for a long time.

"Meng said that when he brought people down, he encountered the same situation. They searched for a long time but couldn't find where the group of gray-green dwarfs went, but when they returned, these dwarfs appeared again." Yuan Zhan ordered The warrior stabbed the ground with a wooden spear.

If those dwarves ran away, their gray-green figures would be clearly visible on the snow field, but now they didn't even see a single figure, obviously those dwarves had other ways to escape and hide.

"Did you try to talk to them just now?" Yan Mo asked the guard to put the chair on the ground and asked Yuan Zhan.

"We yelled from above, but they didn't know if they didn't understand, so they didn't answer. They just looked at us vigilantly." Yuan Zhan turned to look at Meng on the mound.

He made a gesture violently.

Yuan Zhan smiled slyly, "The group of dwarfs got into the ground, I will drive them out."

"Wait!" Yan Mo signaled a guard to pick up something on the snow not far away for him.

The guard handed the thing to Yan Mo, Yan Mo took care not to touch his hand, and took the thing.

Yuan Zhan also looked over, "What is it?"

"...comb." Yan Mo looked at this small comb, first marveled at its exquisite workmanship, and then thought why he never thought of making a comb

"A comb? What's it for?"

"Comb the hair." Yan Mo saw that the group of dwarves' hair seemed to be a little different on the mound just now. Now that he thinks about it carefully, it's not just braids!

Yuan Zhan took over the small comb and played with it, and he also saw the difference in this comb, "It's... pretty, and it's much more detailed than Meng's carpentry work, and there are two little birds engraved on it."

Under the ground, Dede rubbed his head and screamed: "Ah! That's my comb, those idiots found it!"

"You idiot, you always throw things everywhere, why didn't you lose yourself?" Grid laughed at him.

"Okay, don't make noise, do you want the big fool above to hear?"

On the ground, Yan Mo looked at the comb and thought for a while.

"Jiufeng told me that there are no other human beings in its territory except the Awu tribe. Where did these dwarfs come from?"

"Could it be that they are too short and Jiufeng didn't pay attention?" Before Yuan Zhan finished speaking, he knew that he had said something stupid. With Jiufeng's eyesight, he could see even the smallest things.

"Maybe in Jiufeng's eyes, they don't belong to human beings? Just like mermaids?"

"Possibly. But did you notice the color of their skin?"

"Grey green, what's wrong?"

Yan Mo thought according to his thinking: "Usually the skin color and appearance characteristics of a creature can indicate the environment they live in. Suppose Jiufeng has rarely seen this group of dwarves, but these dwarves don't seem to be They came here after a long journey, so is it possible that they lived in the forest not far from us? The gray-green skin is their best protective color in the forest."

There are mermaids in the lake, so it would be strange if there were no other tribes or intelligent species in such a large forest.

Yan Mo wanted to explore in the forest a long time ago, but now is not a good time, who would have thought that they did not enter the forest, but the creatures in the forest ran out by themselves.

Yuan Zhan felt it was possible after Yan Mo's analysis, and he even thought more deeply, "Those little monsters attacking the Awu tribe."

"Ok?"

"Where did they come from? Where did they escape to?"

"You said they might have lived in the forest in the first place?"

"No, I think they probably migrated from a more distant place. I asked the mermaids, and they haven't seen little monsters either. And these dwarfs who originally lived in the forest will come out, guess what? Does the monster matter?"

Whether related or not, the appearance of these dwarves is bound to bring changes to the tribe under construction, but it is not yet clear whether they are friends or foes.

"Look at their plans first, don't expel them by force for now." Yan Mo suggested.

"Do you think they will come and go with us like the mermaids?"

"It's possible."

The first communication failed, and Yuan Zhan didn't use his ability to force those dwarves out of the ground, and if those dwarves escaped far, his ability might not be able to play a big role before knowing the exact location.

On the day of the original battle, the thickness of the river wall and embankment outside the outer moat was strengthened again. The soft ground is easy to make holes, but what if it is a hard stone

Without the same ability as him, even if those dwarves could walk underground, it would never be easy to pass through his river wall.

Yuan Zhan even went to find the mermaids, told them about the dwarves, and told them to swim in the river more often.

And those dwarves didn't know whether they realized that the big fool they called had no strong hostility, or they were confident, and then they went on a long-term guerrilla war with the Jiuyuan tribe.

They often appear in a certain part of the moat in the morning or evening to hunt, because the water source is abundant, many animals will run to the moat to drink water, which saves them the time to find prey and many dangers.

At first, the people of the Jiuyuan tribe were very unhappy that someone came to snatch their prey with them. Many warriors directly complained to Meng, saying that they would fight back the group of dwarfs.

But soon they discovered that the hunting ability of those dwarves was not strong. Their greatest ability was to dig a hole in the ground, leaving a layer of floating soil on the surface, and then waited for the animals to pass by and fall, and then they rushed up together to use wood to kill them. The spear kills the prey.

They don't even dare to prey on carnivores, only dare to attack herbivores.

When Meng Meng came angrily to report that those little men had dug holes by the moat, Yuan Zhan touched his chin, smiled coldly, and wandered out. He had almost figured out those little men after such a long time. The dwarf's strength.

If it wasn't for his active killing and indiscriminate killing that would bring punishment to Mo, he would have chopped off all those dwarfs who dared to prey on them!

Yesterday someone asked me which one is correct, the shy face or the pouty face, the latter~

Pronounced tian three times, it means thick-skinned and shameless.
