The road to recovery was not smooth sailing. Lin Li encountered the first problem - how to get out.
The mammoth that Martin transformed into was far larger than the largest mammoth recorded. Its six-meter-high body exceeded the limit of the gate of this stronghold. The mammoth could not walk on its stomach and had to stop at the door.
"Lin Li, how should I go now?" Martin stopped and asked, slapping his ears.
"It's very simple, come on, Tom and Jerry!" Lin Li was confident.
"?"
「」
Cat and Mouse, who were still immersed in the glory, looked at Lin Li with confusion on their faces.
"Plan A, Tom, raise the entire stronghold three meters."
"..."
"I'm less than three meters tall." Tom pointed to his height.
"Plan B, Jerry, hollow out three meters of the ground at the door."
"..."
"I...I'm not even three meters tall."
"What height do you need to dig soil? Get down quickly." Lin Li was selfless.
Jerry jumped to the door dejectedly and started working.
He was still moved by Lin Li's actions just now, but now he wanted to change his master.
Tom ran to the top of Martin's head, looked at Jerry working underneath, patted his thigh, and coughed with laughter.
"Tom, I suggest you take a look at your tail." Lin Li reminded him with a glance from the corner of his eye.
When Tom heard this, he turned around and found that his tail had been tied into a knot at some point. The knot was tied to a lit firecracker - the one he had just extinguished.
"..."
After trying to untie it to no avail, Tom sighed, tapped his forehead, chest, left shoulder, and right shoulder with his fingers in order, made a cross, and lay down resignedly.
"Tom, don't die here. Do you want Martin to become bald?" Lin Li reminded him thoughtfully again.
"Oh." Tom stood up quickly, nodded, and left Lin Li's sight with an elegant diving movement.
…
The gray fog outside the door has spread to the vicinity of the stronghold again in less than a day, and it is estimated that it will be completely covered here again in an hour or two.
"By the way, Tom, why didn't you say before that you could blow away the gray fog?" Lin Li asked.
"You didn't ask."
Lin Li sighed. Hearing this answer could no longer cause any trouble for him.
"Jerry, are you okay?"
"It's just gray fog, nothing, but the lung capacity is not as big as Tom's." Jerry expressed disdain for this.
The gray fog that causes headaches in this world is just ordinary gray fog in their eyes.
"The plan now is this, Jerry, you first walk along the north and then along the west wall. You don't need to pay attention to the gray beast. You mainly want to check the damage to the city wall." Lin Li began to announce his battle plan and looked at Jerry, then pointed to the east wall of the stronghold and said.
"Record all locations that are damaged and cannot be repaired for the time being, and divide them into those that gray beasts can directly enter and those that cannot. When encountering the gate area, follow the gate operations described in the document that Yu Nian and I just showed you. method, try to run it after blowing away the fog.
If there is a problem with the line, you can also repair it yourself. If it cannot be repaired, we will have to use the original stone gate. "
Jerry nodded.
"Tom, because the white-grey beast is afraid of you, you should go to the west first, and then walk along the north wall. The task is the same as Jerry's."
"In this way, you two will each be responsible for half of the city wall, and we will meet at the northwest end of Dawn City." Lin Li said, with the stronghold located at the southeast end of Dawn City.
"Martin and I will walk along this diagonal straight line, deal with the waves in the city, and find ways to seduce them.
It's very likely that you two will arrive first, and Martin and I haven't arrived yet. If you have nothing to do, just deal with the gray beasts nearby. You two are quite mean, and you must be good at drawing hatred. "
"clear!"
"Let's go!"
After watching Tom and Jerry leave in different directions, Lin Li patted Martin on the head and said, "Martin, it's time for us to set off. You first go into the gray fog ahead and see if you feel any discomfort."
"Okay! We can finally walk around!"
Martin, who knew nothing about this world, seemed very excited at the moment. He had been restrained due to his size in the stronghold, and now he waved his nose and ears in a playful manner and staggered forward.
Because he was in a good mood, he even murmured nursery rhymes that Lin Li had never heard before.
Although he was huge, his speed was not slow. Before long, Martin arrived in the gray mist.
Looking at the screen of the watch in his hand, Lin Li took out the paper version from the space behind him and asked Martin about his current situation.
"I don't feel anything! I just feel that my myopia has increased and I can't see the road clearly."
Very good, in line with the character design summoned by this outrageous system.
The gray beast in the gray fog naturally had no way of ignoring the giant Martin. Lin Li noticed a gray beast in front of him from the corner of his eye. It was standing there with its fangs bared, staring at Martin and roaring, and reminded him: " Martin, be small..."
"Bah!"
Martin stumbled, then continued to stagger forward.
Lin Li: "..."
Lin Li turned his head and looked behind him, where the gray beast had just stood.
Bad news, Gray Beast is strong and holding his ground.
The good news is that it has turned into a puddle of mud, with half of its body rotting open and half sinking into the ground.
"What did you just say, Lin Li." Martin, who didn't even know what happened, raised his head and asked curiously.
"Well...it's nothing. I just suggest you watch the road when walking." Lin Li could only say.
"Yeah, I know. I seemed to have stepped on a small stone just now and almost slipped on my feet." Martin agreed with Lin Li's statement.
What a little stone.
It can only be said that in the face of the absolute size and weight, the gray beast with a strong body seems to be just an ant.
But soon, Martin discovered the existence of creatures like gray beasts.
Because we have arrived at a place where gray beasts gather, their number has increased. They are climbing on the walls and ruins, staring at Martin and Lin Li in the fog with their white pupils.
"Is this the Gray Beast? It seems to be an unevolved human being." Martin was not afraid at all, but looked at the Gray Beast curiously.
"But they are bad guys, and they are the ones we want to eliminate and deal with. We need to kill them, so the scenes later may be bloody scenes from the Eighteen Forbidden Periods. Martin, you may feel uncomfortable at first, but you need to accept this."
Lin Li said seriously.
Although Martin was still a child, Lin Li could not really protect a child and take care of him.
"It doesn't matter. I'm only nine years old. I'm not eighteen, so there's no need to prohibit it." Martin shook his head, "Martin is super brave!"
I don't know if it was because the gray beast at the front started to charge forward, but all the gray beasts behind them howled and rushed towards Martin.
Martin lowered his head, and two sharp and long tusks penetrated directly through the bodies of the two gray beasts. They, who were not dead yet, tried to break Martin's tusks with their hands, but to no avail.
There were a lot of gray beasts. Martin stamped his feet, and several of them were shaken by the shaking of the earth and fell down. Seeing that their speed slowed down, the mammoth Martin rushed forward, like a bulldozer on the battlefield, without any trace of the gray beasts. Stagnation.
With a curl of its nose, a gray beast hit the building in the distance, sinking deeply into it. With a big foot stamp, a puddle of mud appeared on the ground...
Martin is unbeatable!
There were more and more gray beasts on the tusks, and the scarlet blood of the gray beasts flowed along Martin's tusks. Lin Li slid along Martin's face to his nose, and specifically checked Martin's eyes under the thick lenses.
Excitement and curiosity, there seems to be some tension, but it's not obvious.
"What's wrong? Lin Li." Martin asked when he saw Lin Li.
"It's okay, I just came down to fight alongside you." Lin Li nodded, relieved to see Martin like this. After all, the Martin in his animation was a bit cowardly, and Lin Li was really afraid that he would hide behind his head after seeing such a scene. in the corner.
Perhaps it was the mammoth's habits that changed this about Martin.
"boom--"
As soon as Lin Li nodded, Mammoth Martin lay down and covered his head with his front feet, his huge eyes secreting crystals from the corners.
What a crow-mouthed person you are, why do you get whatever you want?
"It hurts," Martin said in a childish voice.
When Lin Li heard this, he looked under Martin and on his left hind leg. There were several fish that had slipped through the net. They had broken through the 'Bulldozer' defense and arrived here. Those gray beasts were tearing at Martin's hair and using their sharp claws. Smoothing his skin.
The situation didn't seem to be good. Lin Li quickly jumped to the ground, ran towards the hind legs, manifested a flaming steel rod, and used the increasingly proficient fruit sword technique to drive away the gray beasts.
Although Lin Li's strength has not increased much, with the blessing of swordsmanship, the lethality of his moves has been greatly enhanced. He is now different from what he used to be. He can handle several gray beasts by himself without any problems.
…
Pull out the half-shrunken steel rod from the head of the last gray beast. The gray beasts in this area can probably be cleared for the time being.
Martin was still lying down with his head in his arms, and his whole body was even trembling slightly.
Lin Li stepped forward, patted him, and comforted him: "It's okay, Martin."
Martin opened his eyes, looked at Lin Li aggrievedly, then looked around him, and nodded.
Lin Li saw this and went to Martin's hind leg to check the injury.
There were more than a dozen long brown hairs on the ground. Lin Li brushed them aside and found... there was no blood at all under the hairs.
Lin Li felt the hard skin of the mammoth. If there were any traces left by the gray beast on it, it would probably be scratches on it - just like the marks that ordinary stones would leave on granite.
"Does it hurt? Martin." Lin Li looked very confused.
"Um!"
"How much does it hurt?"
"It hurts just like an injection when you have a cold!"
Lin Li: "..."
It suddenly made sense.
——Martin was not really injured, he was just afraid of pain.
"Lin Li, why don't we go home? Although it's fun to hit someone, it's not fun to be hit."
Martin turned to look at Lin Li and said weakly.
The ferocious face covered with corpses on the ivory is in great contrast with Martin's words.
Lin Li sighed. This was a character problem with the character of Martin. I'm afraid it would be difficult to modify or fix it.
Wait, Lin Li raised his brows and smiled: "It's okay, Martin, I have a way so that you only need to hit people, and you won't get hit."
"Really?" Martin didn't believe it.
"You'll know when you put this on." Lin Li materialized the iron bucket - another day passed, and the iron bucket was restored again.
Martin rolled up this iron bucket, which seemed extremely small to him, with his trunk. He looked at it carefully for a while and asked, "What's the use of this?"
"Put it on and it can help you bear the pain..." Lin Li described the function of the iron bucket to Martin in a way that he could understand.
I don't need this life-saving thing now.
And it was just right to use it on Martin - he actually didn't suffer much damage at all. The iron barrel can support it for a very long time. Under the protection of the iron barrel, the pain he fears most will not be left at all.
"What a powerful bucket!" Martin put the bucket on his head without hesitation.
"You're really not afraid of the gray beast now, are you?"
"Um!"
"Let's go, keep moving forward!"
"Um!"
…
The second gathering point was also cleared without any danger.
The iron barrel absorbed all the damage, and Martin, who felt no pain, became a real bulldozer.
Lin Li and Martin continued to move forward.
Sitting on Martin's back, Lin Li was thinking. The current situation was similar to what Yu Nian said. It would still take too long to deal with it directly on the spot. According to this progress, ten days might not be enough at all. We still have to consider removing the gray beast. Lead to the plan outside Dawn City.
I saw groups of gray beasts in front of me again.
Lin Li patted Martin on the head, waited for him to look at him, and said to him:
"Martin, don't rush to take action this time. If Gray Beast and the others come after them, we will run away and try to lure them all out."
"good."
"..."
However, this confrontation lasted much longer than the previous two times, but the gray beasts still did not charge forward.
Lin Li was a little confused, and then he saw several injured gray beasts among the gray beasts.
Could it be that the fish that slipped through the net two times before came here and told the gray beasts here that Martin was not to be messed with?
"Martin, see if you can show weakness to the enemy."
"oh."
Martin lay down with his head in his hands and trembled, but this time he was pretending.
Upon seeing this, the gray beasts were immediately ready to make a move and gradually stepped forward - they did not have a high IQ, and some were more like the instinct of wild beasts.
But when Martin saw the situation and stood up, they stopped again. Although they did not retreat, they no longer moved forward.
"Martin, think about whether there is any way to anger them." Lin Li frowned and asked casually.
If the only option is to eliminate them violently, there is no other way.
The worst case scenario would be to extend the ten-day period to forty days—I still have a one-month extension card.
"Well... let me think about it, yes!" Martin said suddenly.
"What method?" Lin Liben asked casually, but he didn't expect that Martin actually had a method.
"Wait for me, I'll think about it."
"Bringing?"
A transparent column of water suddenly rushed towards the group of gray beasts in front of them, showering them all.
"What's the use of spraying water..." Lin Li was about to ask when he suddenly noticed that Martin's head was facing upwards and his nose was curled in front - the water column was not sprayed from Martin's nose.
The source of the water column is a little lower.
Lin Li frowned and realized that things were not simple.
"..."
Lin Li's evaluation was that Martin did not get angry.
The gray beasts were stunned for a moment, then lowered their heads and began to smell the liquid on their bodies.
Then...
"Ah!" Unintelligible high-pitched roars began to spread among the group of gray beasts.
After less than a second passed, the group of gray beasts rushed towards Martin and Lin Li like crazy.
"Are you going to run now?" Martin blinked and asked obediently.
"run."
"oh!"
"Martin, you are such a fucking talent!" Lin Li couldn't laugh or cry, and gave a thumbs up above Martin's head.
If I were peed all over myself, I would be anxious.
"Why do you praise my mother but not me? This is my urine." Martin turned around and ran in the direction directed by Lin Li. After hearing this, he asked with some reluctance.
"Okay, you are a talent!"
"Great!"
"But I have to remind you of something, Martin."
"What's up?"
"Shuguang City's city rules, public defecation and urination will be punished with a fine of fifty."
Behind the scenes, the city lord Lin Li spoke very seriously.
I have been writing for a long time today and I feel something is wrong, so I am going to speed up the process. I have cut out a few plots that I feel are unnecessary, and I will finish writing the main world in a few days.
Feel sorry.
Tomorrow will jump to the seventh day and reveal the fourth dungeon world.
