Chapter 246 Swamp frogman, professional fisherman!
After discovering that Tang Zhen was under attack, Qianlong was shocked and immediately flew the armed helicopter into the nearby sky, where the aerial cannon could fire at any time.
Four Holy Dragon City monks descended from the sky, quickly occupied the favorable terrain, and aimed their guns at these mud-like creatures.
Looking at the blowgun aimed at him, Tang Zhen frowned slightly, and his finger that pulled the trigger began to exert slight force.
As long as you use a little more strength, the whistling bullets can kill these guys wrapped in mud!
"Who are you and why do you want to invade our territory?"
The mud monster opposite suddenly roared, with a strange and obscure tone.
Tang Zhen activated the [Universal Language Translator] and asked in the same language: "Who are you, and why did you suddenly attack me?"
After hearing Tang Zhen's inquiry, the mud creature on the opposite side immediately said in an excited tone: "Oh my god, you can actually understand the language of our swamp people. This is really shocking!"
The swamp frogman who was talking to Tang Zhen put down his blowgun and lifted the turf-like hood above his head.
A face that resembled a combination of a frog and a lizard was revealed, with large eyes and mouth, and no hair on the body.
"The sudden floods destroyed our home and forced us to leave the place.
This human gentleman, do you know where this flood comes from?"
The swamp frogman asked Tang Zhen with a look of urgency on his face.
"This flood comes from the sky, and I don't know when it will stop flowing?"
Tang Zhen pointed to the upstream direction of the river and said to the swamp frogman.
When the swamp frogman heard this, he immediately showed a disappointed expression and said to Tang Zhen: "There is a flood in the sky. This is simply unbelievable, but this may be the real answer, because my father also said so.
The land under your feet has been our home for countless years. Unfortunately, the water is now full of monsters, and our survival is threatened.
The strange river water made our skin red and swollen, so no one dared to enter the water.
Our former home has been completely submerged, which makes us overwhelmed...!"
When the swamp frogman said this, he bowed and saluted Tang Zhen: "We thought you were a bad guy just now, so we attacked suddenly. Please forgive us for our rudeness!"
Although this swamp frogman looks strange, he behaves very politely.
Tang Zhen looked at the lonely swamp frogman, rolled his eyes slightly, and asked: "Now that your home no longer exists, where will you go?"
Hearing this, the swamp frogman sighed helplessly and said in a depressed tone: "Now that things have happened, we can only wander around. I hope we can find a similar land so that my people can continue to thrive!
"
Tang Zhen nodded and asked: "So, can you stay in the water for a long time, and do you know how to breed fish?"
The swamp frogman nodded and said to Tang Zhen: "In fact, we have always lived in the water, and we usually make a living by breeding and catching fish and shrimp!"
Tang Zhen: "How many clansmen do you still have?"
Swamp Frogman: "Why do you ask?"
Seeing the swamp frogman looking at him warily, Tang Zhen smiled and explained: "I am the city lord of a human city, and the city is only more than a day's journey from here.
There are two huge lakes in my building area, and I have always considered whether to use them for fish farming.
Unfortunately, I don't have the manpower available in this area, so this plan has never been put into action.
If you can help me raise fish, I can provide you with shelter and allow you to become honorary residents of Lou City.
This is my condition, can you consider it?"
Tang Zhen looked at the swamp frogman, waiting for its reply.
The encounter with the swamp frogmen was purely accidental, but when Tang Zhen confirmed their abilities, he immediately planned to hire them as fishermen.
The two lakes in Shenglong City can raise a large number of fish. Once successful, they can definitely become another source of food for Shenglong City.
As the lord of a city, Tang Zhen had to consider these people's livelihood issues.
The swamp frogman was very torn in his heart. He was tempted by Tang Zhen's proposal, but he was also afraid that his people would be deceived, so he kept walking around.
After thinking for a long time, the swamp frog suddenly realized that this kind of matter must be discussed with his tribe.
Looking at the swamp frogmen gathered together and making random noises, Tang Zhen told Qianlong and others not to worry, and began to wait for the outcome of their discussion.
About ten minutes later, this swamp frogman who looked like a clan leader walked towards Tang Zhen and said with his mouth wide open: "After discussion, our clan members have decided to go to your city to take a look before deciding whether to accept your employment!
Please forgive us for being so cautious, because the swamp frogmen have suffered too much damage. If we were not desperate this time, we would never enter a human city!"
After saying this, the swamp frogman bowed to Tang Zhenshen.
This is a communication method taught to them by their ancestors, and they can express their goodwill.
After hearing the reply given by the swamp frogman, Tang Zhen was naturally very happy.
He believed that these swamp frogmen would definitely like it when they arrived at Holy Dragon City.
After these swamp frogmen settle down, the lake fish farming plan in Shenglong City can begin.
After the two sides chatted for a few more words, Tang Zhen contacted Tyson again and asked him to drive these swamp frogmen down to Holy Dragon City.
Because of the appearance of the swamp frogmen, Tang Zhen had to suspend his hunting of water monsters and started talking to the swamp frogmen.
The swamp frogman who communicated with Tang Zhen was indeed the patriarch of this small alien tribe, but he had only been the patriarch for a short period of time. Counting today, it only lasted five days.
The old patriarch of the swamp frogmen was eaten breakfast by a water monster in the early morning five days ago.
Also killed along with the old patriarch were more than twenty swamp frogman warriors.
In front of the giant water monster, the weak swamp frogmen have no ability to fight back.
Today, only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left among the swamp frogmen.
This is one of the reasons why the swamp frogmen are eager to leave. If they hesitate any longer, the swamp frogmen will most likely be exterminated.
Although going to Tang Zhen's Loucheng will take risks, it is much better than genocide. At least there is a glimmer of hope!
During the conversation between the two parties, Tang Zhen also checked the weapons used by the swamp frogmen.
This kind of blowgun is made of a hollow bird leg bone, which is smooth and round and feels good to the touch.
Swamp frogmen raise a small lizard, scrape anesthetic mucus from the lizard's body, and then apply it to carefully polished bone spurs.
This kind of bone spur is very sharp, but when it encounters an armored target, it has no obvious killing effect at all.
This is a timid, simple, and even somewhat pitiful alien tribe. Compared with the black-feathered birds and kobolds, their lives are simply terrible!
If they hadn't met Tang Zhen by chance, this group of swamp frogmen might have come to an end and disappeared from this wilderness forever. (To be continued.)
