Chapter 37: Surprise Attack on the Tooth Barbarian Tribe
Seven Rivers Plain, on the east bank of the Sambai River.
Name implies. The Seven Rivers Plain is so named because there are seven major rivers here.
The Sangbai River is the fifth largest river, which originates from the Silver Rat Mountain in the northeast, flows in the northeast-southwest direction, passes diagonally through the [Seven Rivers Plain], and joins the second largest river in the plain - Perfume River near the end of the plain.
The river is named because of the trees that grow on both sides of the river called mulberry trees, and about two-thirds of the area in its basin on the plains are made up of long and narrow forests of mulberry cypresses.
Mulberry is a tree unique to this world, and you can't find a similar variety in the world. Its leaves resemble shrunken mulberry leaves, but they are evergreen. The leaves of this tree can grow continuously, and like the mulberry tree, it is the food of an insect called the cypress silkworm. Like mulberry silkworms, cypress silkworms can also spin silk and form cocoons, but cypress silk is very thick and grayish and black in color, which is not suitable for clothing. However, it is very suitable for sails, ropes, crossbow strings, etc.
Now, Su Xue and the others are lurking on the outskirts of this Sangberlin. At this time, in Su Ze's field of vision, there was a large piece of [Cypress Silkworm].
These silkworms have begun to spin silk and form cocoons. They use the silk they spit out to fix their cocoons to the branches. Due to the large number of cypress silkworms and the large number of cocoons, the entire forest is green and gray from a distance.
"Speaking of which, these cypress silkworms are raised by barbarian teeth...... Su Ze asked with some curiosity.
Rusya nodded and said, "Yes, in the past, the Ya Barbarians raised cypress silkworms, mainly to eat silkworm pupa, as well as to make ropes, fishing nets and other tools. It was only later that they learned to draw and weave ......"
Su Ze smiled: "Oh, if it's like this, then their level of civilization is higher than those greenskins......"
Pei De said with a look of disgust: "...... They're smarter than the greenskins, but they're even more brutal! Thousands of years ago, these creatures were our great enemies, and it took years of fighting to drive them to these remote areas......"
Peder then begins to talk about how evil, greedy, and brutal this creature is, and how much damage it has done to the elves...... Yunyun. Of course, he couldn't forget to involve the Han people, citing the many wars between the Han people and the Yabarians in history, and so on.
It seems that this is the most cruel, endless competition for survival! Su Ze couldn't help but sigh a little.
In the face of this kind of competition for survival, in the dictionaries of various races, words such as harmony, unity, and equality are just floating clouds.
From the standpoint of absolute neutrality, there is no distinction between good and evil in this kind of competition. Those who think that there is a distinction between good and evil are just a matter of position. Stand with an absolute mentality.
However, there is no such thing as an absolutely neutral person. The vast majority of people have a position. So in their view, this kind of competition for survival has a distinction between good and evil. There is a sentence that can explain this relationship very simply: My hero, his enemy!
Su Ze is not one of those reflectivists, national nihilists, and contra-nationalists. On the contrary, he was a staunch nationalist. Needless to say, his ass is naturally made on the side of the big man. And the elf, now the relationship with the Han is very iron, and the two countries are almost as good as wearing a pair of pants, so they are naturally in the same camp.
So, in Su Ze's eyes, these tooth barbarians are naturally enemies, although this is a tooth man he has never seen alive, but this does not affect his psychological tendencies.
..............................................................................
"Attention, attention...... There was a small group of tooth barbarians coming out, mostly adult females, numbering around 30, well, 32. All have weapons, no ranged. No nail ...... They're moving towards your location, and in about five minutes, you'll see them ......" Su Ze's voice box suddenly heard the voice of the scout team.
"So pay attention, according to the original plan, prepare for battle......" Su Ze immediately ordered in a low voice.
At the same time, he picked up the 16x military telescope he bought on Taobao, and he also took out three of the same telescopes, one on the side of the deputy captain Pei De, one on the side of Rusya's support group, and one on the scout group.
It's not that there isn't such a thing as a telescope. It's just that I don't know what the people here think, the telescopes here are all monocular, and the magnification is only 8 times at most, and the clarity is also very poor. Su Xue was really not used to using it, so he simply took out the earth's telescope and used it.
Because of the excuse of "great teacher", he can now use things from other sides of the earth more boldly, and he is not too worried about any exposure. Of course, you just need to remove those labels, nameplates, and so on beforehand.
"Captain, here ......," a member of the team next to him whispered.
Su Ze hurriedly turned the binoculars and looked at the place where the team member was pointing.
I saw that a mulberry cypress tree over there suddenly trembled, and then several figures appeared in Su Ze's telescope.
"That'......s what a tooth man! It's really ugly!" Despite his mental preparation, Su Xue was still shocked by the ugliness of this creature.
It is an extremely ugly and large humanoid creature, measuring about 2.5 to 2.8 meters tall, which is about the height of one floor of a standard human building. Judging from their steps and footprints, their weight is about 150~180 kg.
Their complexion ranged from dark yellow to brownish-yellow, and their skin was rough and covered with black-brown nodules the size of broad beans that looked like rivets in the gates. Their necks are thick, almost as thick as their heads. Their hair is unkempt and greasy, almost never groomed, and runs from the head to the neck. It looks like a horse's mane.
Their heads are large, but their positions appear awkward, not perpendicular to their necks like in erect creatures, at the tip of their bodies, but parallel to their necks like wild beasts. So when they move, they just stick their necks out and look rickety.
Of course, the ugliest thing is their appearance, which is almost like a legendary demon, closer to a beast than a human.
They have horse-like ears, a broad, flattened nose like an orangutan, and purple eyes with white pupils. Their lower jaws are longer than their upper jaws, and a row of yellowish fangs peeking out of their lips, making them look very hideous, and this is probably where the name "Yaman" comes from. The shape of the feet and hands is relatively close to that of humans, but the fingers and toes are claws like beasts.
Anyway, no matter how you look at it, this thing has nothing to do with the word "human". However, judging by their equipment, they are also highly intelligent creatures. The clothes they wear are made of tanned hides and silk woven from cypress silk. Although the workmanship seems to be rough, it is still intact after all. Compared to the clothes of those goblins, it is simply incomparable.
The ogres of those Western fantasy works. Probably this is the kind of thing!" Su Ze couldn't help but think to himself.
Soon, his opinion was confirmed. Because he saw that there were a few toothy waists, and there were actually utensils made of some kind of skulls, I don't know whether they were bowls or cups. Su Xue took a closer look and found that those skulls turned out to be humanoids, but he didn't know which race they were.
It seems that Pei De said that this kind of thing eats people is true!**, you actually dare to eat people, then Lao Tzu will cook you and eat it today! Su Ze looked a little angry. Thinking of this, Su Xue decided to call this kind of thing "ogre", the name of Yaman. It's too gentle.
....................................................................................
Outwardly, these ogres are females, as evidenced by their bulging breasts. They wear clothes that expose their navel and forearms, and their lower bodies are skirt-like bottoms, with leather arm guards and leg guards tied to their lower arms and legs, but they have no shoes. On the waist of each ogre, there are weapons, mainly axes and hammers, a few swords, and some also have a dagger tied to their lower legs.
It can be seen that this is a race where all the people are soldiers.
The female ogres each carried a large basket on their backs, and after a few words of conversation with each other, they scattered to collect cocoons from the trees.
They were gathering and shouting loudly, unaware that a swarm of evil stars had surrounded them.
Su Ze picked up the AK74 and put one of the ogres into the scope.
"Bah~~~~" only to hear a crisp gunshot, the ogre fell in response, white brains and red blood flowed all over the ground.
Okay, a headshot! Su Ze gave himself a perfect score.
With Su Ze's shooting, the prelude to the killing began.
For a moment, arrows and projectiles flew together, occasionally mixed with arcane missiles fired by mages......
"Ah~~oh~~Woo~~" The ogre's screams kept sounding in Samberlin, and tall figures fell one after another.
In less than two minutes, more than a dozen of them lay down, and the others were all injured.
Su Xue dialed the fast and slow machine to the three magic points to shoot, coldly harvesting the lives of these ogres, with his current strength, at this distance of less than 150 meters, it is simply a hundred shots, no one misses.
Two or three ogres, who were standing farther away, immediately turned around and fled as soon as they saw that the momentum was not right.
"Captain, they did run ......away," one of the team members said happily.
Su Ze nodded and said, "Very good, just wait for them to find reinforcements." Let's go, let's go get those wounded teeth. Get a few to the ambush circle......"
This is the plan of "luring the snake out of the hole" that Su Xue and the others worked out after observing for several days. First attack this group of ogres who came out to collect silkworm cocoons, and then deliberately release a few to report back and send their reinforcements into an ambush circle.
You know, these ogres have strong melee abilities, and they are not as easy to deal with as goblins. If you attack directly, there are likely to be casualties, which is not necessary.

PS: In the first two chapters, the part about food borrowed from the food god "Eat All Over the World". This book is a masterpiece, I often read it back then, and I read it many times. It's a pity that the author actually entered the palace, sad and indignant.
PS2: Recommended book: "The Other Side of Time", ISBN 1667222.
At first glance, it looks very relaxed, and it is a serious military sci-fi with a light skin, which is suitable for changing the taste of children's shoes that have seen enough cool texts.
