At this time, Dafei, who had returned to the swamp, was in the middle of a wide and deep lake.
His top priority now was to find a small island to land on. Otherwise, he would drown when his stamina was exhausted. There were many small islands in the swamp, which was not a problem. Dafei immediately swam to the nearest island overgrown with bushes.
There were also many water monsters around the island, but it was not a problem for the God-level Dafei who had the Stealth Master Aura Concealment Skill.
The problem now was, how could he get to Habit Village? Of course, this was not a problem. He could swim from one island to another and eventually reach his destination. However, this method was too unsophisticated, unsafe, and unbefitting of a lord. As a lord, he should let them pick him up.
Dafei summoned the Blood Eagle again. Seeing the eagle was like seeing a person. They knew what to do. Sigh, if I had known this would happen, I would have asked the Blood Eagle to deliver a letter. Anyway, I have to believe in the wisdom of the old village chief.
The people of Habit did not disappoint Dafei. Before the Blood Eagle flew to the village, it saw more than a dozen fishing rafts on the way. When the Hobbits on the raft saw the familiar blood eagles, they raised their heads and looked at them in surprise.
Wahahaha! Even ordinary fishermen know me. Very good! But I don't think you can drive away the water monsters along the way to pick me up. So the Blood Eagle circled above their heads three times and continued to fly towards the village.
Looking at the leaving Blood Eagle, the villagers took out firecrackers, and fireworks soared into the sky.
Haha, this is the treatment of a lord. Awesome!
When the Blood Eagle arrived at Habit Village, the villagers who had not seen it for more than ten days also looked up.
The children exclaimed, "The lord is here! It's the lord's eagle!"
The village chief immediately understood and said excitedly, "The lord must have opened a passage to the outside world. Let's go and pick up the lord!"
Wahahaha! That's right! I whistled to show my approval! The Blood Eagle's loud and long whistle resounded through the lake.
So, under the guidance of the Blood Eagle, the village chief led more than a dozen rafts to drive away the water monsters and arrived at the island where Dafei was hiding.
I'm finally here. It seems like I'll have to build a watchtower here in the future. Dafei revealed himself and waved at Village Chief's group from afar.
Seeing Dafei appear, the villagers cheered loudly. The village chief shouted excitedly, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord. I didn't know that you were coming and didn't welcome you, Lord. My apologies!"
To be treated so courteously, I must be close to a god in their hearts, right? It was only a matter of time before they were incorporated into the army! Then let me give you a reminder first.
Dafei boarded the raft and laughed. "I didn't even know I would be back so soon. This time, I came here to do something big. I want to transport the wood. In the space downstream, I found a village of Vine Demons. They have already formed an alliance with me. When my city is completed, they will join my city. Right now, they are responsible for receiving the wood downstream. "
Others have joined, but what about you guys?
Village Chief was stunned. "How does Lord transport the wood out? Don't tell me it's drifting down? "
Holy shit! Why does an NPC hero know about drifting, but I don't?
Dafei nodded and said seriously, "That's right. So, I need to trouble everyone to help me transport the wood to the Space Vortex Door. Remuneration is negotiable."
Village Chief smiled faintly. "Talking about remuneration is too formal. Since Lord has already found a channel to transport the wood, then Lord must be opening the channel. We should do our best to help transport the wood! But … "Saying this, Village Chief frowned." But if the wood floats down like this, what if the eight-headed snake is alerted? "
Dafei's eyebrows twitched! Isn't this the question I asked Tazius? If she can't answer, the old Village Chief can't either!
If Tazius can't answer, it is very likely that I, as a player, asked a very unreliable question that the System will not accept. But if the old Village Chief, who is also an NPC, asks this question, then it must be a problem!
Dafei was shocked. "Could it be that the eight-headed snake is alerted? Will it come out of the Space Vortex?"
Village Chief said woodenly, "I don't know."
What the heck! When an NPC says that he doesn't know, it means that there are infinite possibilities, right? Can the eight-headed snake really rush out of the dungeon? If it really does rush out, then what is it called? Game Progress Acceleration! Advanced Play! No way, I finally found a way to solve this problem. Am I going to go bankrupt just like that?
Just as Dafei was stunned, Village Chief said with a firm expression, "But don't worry, Lord. Our Hobbit family has been struggling for a thousand years. It is because we met Lord that we saw hope for the future. Of course, we will do our best to help Lord. This may be very risky, but it is also an opportunity. We are willing to gamble with Lord!"
You're betting the lives of your entire clan with your brother, right? Are you going to gamble? Of course! Let's take a small gamble to test the waters!
Dafei said, "How about this. We will try to float a small amount of wood to test its reaction. I believe that a slight disturbance will not anger it. After all, it still needs to sleep."
Village Chief's eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly became excited. "Lord, you are right. This eight-headed snake is in the critical stage of evolving into the ultimate nine-headed snake. It should be able to tolerate slight disturbance. Let's go back and transport the wood now!"
Good! Let's do it! Treat me to a meal! Hey, did you forget to treat me to a meal?
When the rafting team returned to the village, Advisor Ted, whom they had not seen for a long time, was already waiting at the pier.
Dafei laughed and said, "Mister Ted, you've worked hard during this period!"
Titan hurriedly saluted and said seriously, "Milord, hard work is necessary. We've been busy purchasing wood during this period of time. There seems to be some faint fluctuations in the space over at the Black Forest. It's possible that the demons are tracking us, so we need to speed up our logging. We have already harvested 1,000 units of wood, and we have to avoid the mercury vapor at night. The time is very tight. "
Dafei was suddenly shocked. Did the one who should come finally come to him? Dafei hurriedly asked, "When will the demons arrive?"
Ted shook his head. "I don't know. We can only hope that Lord can restrain the demons on other battlefields so that they can't care about this place."
The village chief nodded and said solemnly, "But we Hobbits won't just sit and wait for death. We have already reinforced the fortress in the passageway leading to the Black Forest. The demons will pay the price for their invasion in such a narrow passageway!"
Damn, your wooden fortress will be flattened by a meteor shower! No wonder the old man was willing to gamble with me. But there's no direct connection between me transporting wood and saving you! In short, I'll do as the advisor said and restrain the demons' main forces on other battlefields. If I really can't do it, I'll seize the moment and loot everything valuable here. Then I'll let them seek refuge with me and emigrate. But all of this is based on successfully killing the eight-headed snake and opening up the passageway. The situation is urgent.
But there's a problem. If I lose this place, what about the vine demon village downstream? Will I have to retreat as well? Won't I lose my territory miserably? And more importantly, I'll have to give away the rich mercury mine that I haven't had time to develop?
Damn! Retreat for what? Defend to the end! Otherwise, all the construction in the swamp and vine demon forest will be meaningless! Once I open up the passageway, I'll have an endless stream of reinforcements! That's right, I'm so powerful. The swamp's terrain is also extremely troublesome for the demons. There's no reason why I can't defend it. Not to mention, I have the support of Light City's main battlefield.
Dafei immediately pulled himself together and said, "Good. Everyone, get ready to defend against the demons and protect your homeland. As for now, let's get down to business. We can't let the demons take advantage of this wood."
The village chief nodded and said, "Alright, go and transport the wood now."
。。。。。
Under the escort of the village chief, a dozen wooden rafts loaded with all kinds of wood arrived at the entrance of the spatial whirlpool. Of course, most of them were Mercury Wood.
Dafei took a deep breath and said, "Let's transport one wood first. I'll follow and see how the eight-headed snake reacts!"
"Yes, my lord!"
* Plop! * A wood was thrown into the whirlpool and disappeared. Dafei immediately jumped into the whirlpool and followed.
At this moment, the eight-headed snake's huge body was flickering with electricity. This time, an electric head was on duty. This eight-headed snake was truly a genius with all attributes. If they were to fight it, who would be able to withstand its lightning, fire, and ice poison? How were they going to fight in the future?
The wood floated closer and entered the eight-headed snake's alert range. The electric head that was swaying all over immediately locked its gaze on the wood!
Found it! Dafei anxiously observed the eight-headed snake's next move!
The eight-headed snake's gaze only locked on for less than a second before it immediately looked elsewhere. No reaction?!
Dafei was delighted! No, no, no, wait! The wood is going to crash into it? Let's see how it will react? Dafei continued to observe patiently.
It's drifting closer! It's going to crash! Dafei raised his binoculars and observed intently. Of course, in front of a demigod, Dafei definitely wouldn't dare to summon a blood eagle.
— — Bang! With a soft sound, the wood hit the eight-headed snake's huge mountain of flesh and bounced slightly. At that moment, the head next to the electric head shook slightly. Then, there was nothing else. Under the flow of the water, the wood bypassed the mountain of flesh and floated downstream.
Oh yeah! Success! At least one wood succeeded!
In his joy, Dafei immediately called the village chief through the whirlpool gate. "One is not a problem. This time, throw two!"
"Yes, sir!"
— — Plop! Two more wood floated out. These two wood floats also didn't attract the attention of the electric head on duty. Then, two more plop! The head next to it shook slightly again!
No problem! Dafei said excitedly, "This time, throw four!"
When the four logs hit the Eight-headed Serpent one after another, the head next to the electric head finally lifted up!
Both heads woke up at the same time! What the hell! It didn't wake up, did it? At that moment, the red light on Dafei's screen exploded!
— — System prompt: Detection warning! You have entered the eight-headed snake's alert range. Staying any longer will result in battle!
What the hell! As expected, the two heads had a wider alert range? Dafei was so frightened that he immediately ran through the whirlpool gate!
