Chapter 58
Although Lu Zhan said with certainty that those flame ants would not follow the tribe, Luo Zhen still didn't dare to be careless. The next day, he asked Lu Zhan to take him to the river at the foot of the mountain, and picked a lot of dried ants. The spicy Polygonum weeds we picked came back, we ground them into powder and sprinkled them around the perimeter of the ice city wall. It hasn’t snowed in the past two days, so we don’t have to worry about the powder being covered by snow.
A circle of spicy Polygonum powder was also sprinkled around the wooden house. The flame ants who stole the fish before were very clever. After getting the grilled fish out of the house, they got into the snow. It is impossible to find them retreating without removing the snow. trace.
The smell of spicy Polygonum is unbearable to humans. I hope it can be of some use to this kind of strange ants. The ants that can make Lu Zhan into such a mess are unlikely to be those harmless ants that Luo Zhen has seen before. Comparable.
The weather has been fine these two days. The arrow towers on the city wall only need to freeze the pillars solidly, but the wind is strong at the top of the city wall. In order to reserve a place for attack, the arrow towers are ventilated on all sides, and no one else can stand on it except the soldiers. Waiting for a long time, so apart from the patrolling soldiers going up to stay for a while, those arrow towers are temporarily useless after they are built.
An open space was cleared in front of the wooden house, which was used as a training place for the people in the tribe. After Luo Zhen's passionate speech before, even the delicate women began to step out of the warm wooden house. Come to the open space to practice archery.
Luo Zhen's archery method is also slowly groping while recalling. There are not many skills that can really be taught to them, but other people practice archery just for the sake of accuracy. They seem to have a wild intuition for fighting. They talked about some points that should be paid attention to, and these people can gradually find their own archery methods through practice, and the hit rate of bows and arrows is getting better and better, faintly surpassing Luo Zhen.
"Come on, let's have a try." After warming up, Luo Zhen breathed out a deep breath of heat, and raised his eyebrows at Lu Zhan, who was squatting on the ground watching the play next to him, with eagerness in his tone.
"Discussion?"
"It's just a fight." Luo Zhen wore an animal fur suit suitable for sports, but this kind of clothes is not as comfortable as common clothes after all, and when stretched, it rubs against the skin and itches a bit. Luo Zhen is used to this feeling after wearing it for a long time. It won't affect your actions much.
"I don't fight with ordinary people." Lu Zhan shook his head and refused directly.
"It's not a real fight, it's just a competition. You are not allowed to turn into a beast, and you are not allowed to use your full strength." Luo Zhen explained to him that he even used the military boxing that he learned during his university military training recently. Once again, just when he wanted to verify his practice results, how could he refuse, "If you don't want to compete with me, I will go to Heifu."
As Luo Zhen said, she really looked up to look for the shadow of Heifu. Seeing this, Lu Zhan kicked the snow at his feet and stood up, fighting with Heifu. Can the opponent's small body withstand the blow of Heifu?Who will cook for him in case of injury?
"Hmph, let's fight, don't blame me if you get hurt." Lu Zhan reminded.
Seeing Lu Zhan standing up, Luo Zhen smiled, and the two of them took a stance on the spot.
This is not the first time Luo Zhen has fought with others. Although he has been a good boy since he was a child, he signed up for a taekwondo club when he was in college. Even if outsiders see the posture they put on, they will feel that they are somewhat similar.
Lu Zhan had seen Luo Zhen gesticulating in a strange posture before, but he didn't know that the other party was practicing boxing, and it was impossible to deal with the beast with the other party's posture, so Lu Zhan didn't Take the other person's actions to heart.
It's just that he didn't expect Luo Zhen to fight him with those postures, so Lu Zhan couldn't help being more interested.
Military boxing focuses on boxing skills, while Taekwondo focuses on leg skills. If Luo Zhen is up against ordinary hooligans, he might still have the upper hand, but who is Lu Zhan? They were trained in combat, and they focused on one-hit kills, but they didn't have any pretensions to control the enemy.
Lu Zhan didn't really want to have a real fight with Luo Zhenshi, so he didn't fight back at first, and even stood there doing nothing. He wanted to see how Luo Zhen would fight him.
Whip legs, kicks, are used by people who are not strong enough to open and close. Fortunately, Lu Zhan stood motionless like a wooden stake. Even if Luo Zhen hadn't practiced, it was impossible for Luo Zhen to miss the wooden stake.
It's just that the hardness of the orc's body is not comparable to that of an ordinary person. The first kick felt like it had kicked on a hard iron plate.
Lu Zhan rubbed the place where Luo Zhen kicked him. He didn't expect the opponent's small body to contain such a lot of strength, which made his arms feel a little numb.
Lu Zhan was a little surprised. Before he could think about it, Luo Zhen saw that the blow didn't work, and his posture changed again. He clenched his hand into a fist and swung towards Lu Zhan's face.
Lu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his body moved earlier than he thought. He stretched out his hand to block the opponent's fist, and the sharp nails touched Luo Zhen's throat. Fortunately, he still remembered that the person fighting him was Luo Zhen, Only then did he finally hold back his strength and did not leave any wounds on the other party.
Luo Zhen didn't expect that the fight would be over so soon. Just now when Lu Zhan fended off his fist, he used a little strength, and the back of Luo Zhen's hand turned red.
"What's your move?" Lu Zhan asked with interest.Although Luo Zhen's strength is not as good as his own, and even the moves used by the opponent are not for dealing with wild beasts, but his fighting instinct still makes him feel that if these moves are used to deal with beastmen, they can catch them by surprise. Effect.
After this short discussion, Luo Zhen realized that his hard training for such a long time could only achieve the effect of strengthening his body. Actions."
"Do you want to fight again?" Lu Zhan asked.
Luo Zhen shook her head, there was no point in fighting any longer, the difference in strength between the two was too great, and Lu Zhan's fighting method was not suitable for sparring. There's a big hole.
If Lu Zhan had been more vicious, maybe it wouldn't be too much for him to split his head directly.
Luo Zhen sighed. His strength was indeed inferior to the orcs here, but he did not give up easily because of this setback. After all, even if he was not as strong as the orcs, at least he could use weapons, and To use a weapon to its full potential, one still needs a strong body.
"Big Witch, Grandmother Gan told you to go to her place." Ah Hua ran over in the snow on her short legs.
"What's wrong?" Luo Zhen reached out and hugged the little girl. Luo Zhen applied some fish oil on the little girl's face. Although the effect was not very good, at least the little girl's skin was no longer as chapped as before. He was bred to have a little flesh, and was lined with a fiery red animal fur coat. He was very cute. If he didn't look at the surrounding environment, he was no different from a modern child.
"My mother-in-law said that the clothes you want are ready."
The little girl liked being picked up by Luo Zhen very much, because Luo Zhen occasionally put her on her shoulders and rode away. Even her father had never done such a thing to her, except for being frightened for the first time, Ah Hua at the back just thought it was very novel and fun.
"Oh, ready?"
Of course, the clothes that Luo Zhen asked the dry mother-in-law to make were not the animal fur clothes usually used to keep warm, but the armor made of the skin peeled off from the giant anaconda that Lu Zhan killed before winter.
The giant boa constrictor skin is tough and hard, it is not easy to tan it, and Luo Zhen also wants to see how the giant boa constrictor's skin is defensive, so he did all kinds of bone chopping, burning, blistering, etc. Originally, he thought that the dry mother-in-law would have to spend a little more time to do the experiment, but he didn't expect it to be completed sooner than he thought.
Greeting Lu Zhan, Luo Zhen picked up the little girl and walked to her mother-in-law's house together.In addition to herself, the mother-in-law's house also lives with her raised child, the orc warrior Hei Kun, as well as Hei Kun's partner A Cao and daughter A Hua.
Ah Cao also helps make animal skin clothes at ordinary times, and when Hei Kun goes out on patrol, he helps to pick all kinds of plants that the dry mother-in-law needs to tan the animal skins. Animal skins, there is only a little space around the fire pit where the fire is lit.
When the three of them entered, the dry mother-in-law and Ah Cao were already waiting inside. Seeing Luo Zhen, the dry mother-in-law smiled a little harder, and she waved to Luo Zhen, "The armor you asked me to make is already done." Well, let's see if you are satisfied."
Luo Zhen put A'hua down, and A'hua ran back to her mother.
The style of the armor is not fancy, it's just a simple long sleeve. The giant boa's skin is a bit cold to the touch and smooth to the touch. Luo Zhen picked up the clothes and turned them upside down. It was much lighter than the animal skin clothes they usually wear. up.
"Try it." Luo Zhen handed the armor to Lu Zhan beside him.
Lu Zhan directly took off the animal skin coat on his body, and put on the armor with his bare upper body. It was a bit tight, but it still fit.
Luo Zhen suddenly punched hard on the armor, there was a dull sound, and her hand also felt a little dull.
Lu Zhan looked at him suspiciously, Luo Zhen patted the armor on the opponent's body lightly, and was very satisfied with the hardness of the armor, "Mother-in-law, the rest of the giant anaconda skin will be made like this according to what I told you before." Armor."
The previous piece of giant anaconda skin was very large. Although a lot was wasted during the tanning process, the rest was more than enough to make armor for the children and women in the tribe.
"Okay, I'll make it for you in a few days." Grandma Gan is also very satisfied with these armors. With this thing, even if she encounters wild beasts, she won't be injured as easily as before.
"Big witch, the wild cabbage you let me plant before has survived, do you need to take some back?" Seeing that Granny Gan and Luo Zhen had finished speaking, Ah Cao came over with two pots of plants in her arms.
It is not so easy to grow vegetables indoors this season, but Acao obviously took good care of these two plants. Although they still looked a bit shriveled, they were still alive.
