Online Game: Island War
Chapter 28: charging wild boar
This mountain, which Lei Jiu called a very strong mountain, brought them the surprises that were not over yet.
When they descended the mountain from the other side, they didn't go very far, just at the junction where they had just entered the vegetation-covered area, everyone spotted a mountain spring.
This is a big spring. The spring water is gurgling outward, filling a stream that is more than one meter wide and more than half a meter deep. In terms of flow, it is many times larger than the two springs on Huanghuang Island.
Because of the sufficient rainfall on the island, Huanghuang Island, which does not have rice, does not need to irrigate the farmland additionally. But even if it is only for the daily water supply of the islanders, with the two small springs on the island, it can only support 5,000 people at most.
With the population growth rate of Huanghuang Island, the population will reach 5,000 before and after the next fusion of the island. Therefore, the next fusion target must have fresh water resources.
Lei Jiu set his target on the mountains, also because this type of terrain seems to be easier to find springs.
What?
You ask him why he thinks so?
Haven't you seen how popular the various mountain springs on earth are?
Since there are so many mountain springs on the earth, which can provide extra drinking for billions of people, it makes no sense that there are no springs in the mountains here, and even thousands of people can't support it, right?
Although it is imminent, Huanghuang Island has not yet experienced water shortages.
Except for Lei Jiu and Nangong Cuo, few people realized the importance of this spring water, so Luo Zheng and the others were more admiring, "This spring water is delicious", "a little sweet" and so on.
Even the nicotine next to him didn't respond. Of course, he couldn't blame him. In Bracada, which used to occupy the mountains, there has never been a problem of water shortage, so it's understandable that he didn't realize it for a while.
Granite and Big Eye Spring, just based on these two points, Lei Jiu decided that the target for the next fusion would be this island.
When going down the mountain, everyone's action route was not the same as when they came, and they went straight to the top of the mountain. In order to expand the scope of search and investigation as much as possible, the road they traveled was quite tortuous.
"what?"
"What's the matter, nicotine!"
Compared with Lei Jiu and the others who were walking on the ground, they were originally taller, but the nicotine floating a few meters high had a much wider field of vision.
Especially in some places where the woods are not dense, he can see more things.
"Oh, there is a large birch forest below, I thought the whole mountain consisted only of aspen and spruce trees!" Nicotine also felt a little fussy, and his tone calmed down.
"Birch forest? Aspen, spruce?" If it wasn't for the mention of nicotine, Lei Jiu really didn't pay attention. He knew all these tree species, so he didn't pay special attention to it. At this time, when he was reminded like this, he suddenly remembered, "These tree species..."
"how?"
"I suddenly remembered that there seem to be some animals that especially like to be active in the aspen forests, birch forests and spruce forests that seem to be in summer. They also like sub-alpine meadows, the kind with water sources!"
"Meadow? Huh? It seems to exist, but there are trees blocking it, so I can't see how big it is! What kind of animal is it?"
"Wild boars! They usually act as families!"
"Oh!"
Compared to Lei Jiu's solemnity, nicotine didn't care much, but it was just a wild boar. Even a group of wild boars wouldn't be a threat if he was there.
"The island owner said this, it seems that we have found a lot of herbivores along the way, but we have not encountered a single carnivore!"
"yes!"
If it was an ordinary wild boar, Lei Jiu didn't care too much, let alone Nicotine and Luo Zheng, even any militiaman in the team could easily deal with a group of wild boars.
However, along the way, the amount of herbivorous animal resources in this mountain is obviously more than normal. What he is worried about is that if he encounters a group of wild boars that have evolved into monsters...
In fact, Lei Jiu's worries are not superfluous.
It didn't take long for the group to encounter a wild boar herd, a wild boar herd of demon beasts.
Three big wild boars that were over two meters high and weighed several tons, with a dozen "little wild boars" that were close to one meter. After discovering them, they directly launched a charge, looking at their eyes, it was quite unusual. friendly.
"Protect the island owner!" Luo Zheng shouted, blocking the front, facing the largest of the three big wild boars. Two people from the militia team walked out and faced the other two big wild boars.
The three of them stretched out their hands, caught the ball, bent down and squatted.
This is to... before Lei Jiu can speak, "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
With three muffled noises, Luo Zheng and the other three accurately restrained the wild boar's neck with both arms.
However, even if they were extremely powerful, they couldn't withstand the impact of the charging wild boars all at once. They couldn't stop paddling back with their feet, and were pushed back by the wild boars.
Then there was a continuous muffled sound, and six militiamen formed the second stair, resisting the retreating figure of the three, helping them block and relieve the impact of the wild boar.
Finally, the charge of the three big wild boars was blocked by the human wall on the third stair. A total of 14 people, including Luo Zheng's 15 people, successfully stopped the big wild boars who had already launched the charge.
This is also the red-haired species. If ordinary earthlings come, even a company of troops will not be able to withstand this charge.
This is no ordinary wild boar. Just looking at its size, the smallest one has to weigh more than 3 tons. The one in front of Luo Zheng definitely weighs more than 4 tons. Is this really something that manpower can forcibly stop?
For the first time, Lei Jiu found that he didn't really understand the meaning of combat power.
The current combat strength of these militiamen is basically around 50. Only the two men who fought against the wild boar together with Luo Zheng have a combat strength of close to 60. With such combat strength, is the strength already so exaggerated?
If you let them throw the javelin, they won't throw a thousand meters directly, right? Will Luo Zheng exceed 1,500 meters?
Thinking of some areas in ancient times, it seems that there were javelin soldiers who specially threw javelins to deal with cavalry~lightnovelpub.net~ Thinking about throwing iron javelins thousands of meters away, I shivered with fear, but it was definitely more than Cavalry?
Thousands of meters away, with a javelin and a hole, the armor can't hold it, so what kind of troops can't be afraid when they see it!
When Lei Jiu fell into his wild thoughts, the remaining two militiamen had already made the little wild boars who were charging behind them all deviated from them.
The weight of the little wild boars is completely incomparable to that of the big wild boars, and the militiamen can change their charging route with a single kick, which is nothing to worry about.
The key is still on the big wild boars. Even if the wild boars are resisted, it does not mean that they are no longer a threat. Collision is indeed the most common attack method of wild boars, but their mouths are also not decorations, they are very threatening attacking weapons.
Wild boars are omnivores, but they eat meat!
"It's a pity~!"
Seeing Luo Zheng and the others competing with the wild boar, Lei Jiu suddenly sighed.
Nicotine, who had already planned to shoot, was taken aback, "What a pity?"
"With the size of these three big wild boars, if you can tame...what a heavy cavalry mount! It's just..."
It's just that there seems to be no such example in human history. First, there is no such tall wild boar to ride on the earth. Second, the hooves of wild boars are not suitable for long-distance running. Third, wild boars are not as easy to handle as horses. In the army, one cannot choose a mount that cannot be controlled.
"The island owner's heart is really big! You don't think Luo Zheng and the others have the chance to win, right?"
"What's the meaning?"
"These wild boars are not ordinary beasts, they are monsters, monsters!"
Lei Jiu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Not good!"
