"Be careful, it's coming soon!"
Someone in the crowd shouted and brought Li Yi back to reality, which also made people come back to their senses and understand.
This is just the beginning.
The real battle has just begun.
The four major plains of the entire empire occupy almost more than 70% of the continent's whitefly area. How could such a huge plain be home to only a few animals?
You must know that under a normal climate, the continent has suitable temperatures and lush vegetation. Even if there are only a few landforms such as plains and hills, it does not mean that biological diversity will be suppressed.
The reason is also very simple.
A large river runs through the entire plain, flowing from west to east, all the way to its outlet.
There are countless tributaries, rivers and streams along the way.
Wherever there are people, there are living things. This law of nature is thoroughly implemented even if it is not on Blue Star.
Since the plain lacks basic obstacles as a barrier, one of the most obvious features of this land is that it is very windy.
In fact, the original function of the four major passes was not to resist foreign enemies.
But to protect from the wind.
After all, strong winds of magnitude 7 to 8 can blow up on the plains for no reason, which is unbearable for anyone.
In this land, everyone, whether male or female, is very strong.
This is also something that can't be helped.
After all, if you are a little thin, it is not unusual for you to be blown away by a gust of wind when you go out one day.
But now that the animal army has not arrived, the first thing that greets us is a strong wind.
This was something Li Yi didn't expect.
Originally, he didn't pay much attention to this natural phenomenon.
After all, with his level, he can almost ignore the impact of this natural phenomenon.
But ordinary people are not like this.
Most of the people in this world are ordinary people like you and me.
They will get sick and injured, and they will also be affected by natural phenomena because of their not very strong bodies.
Although the people on this land are already very strong, they are still unable to face the strong wind head-on.
Fortunately, so many years of experience have given this group of people who have lived on the plains for thousands of years a mature experience in resisting this natural phenomenon.
"Quick! Arrange the formation!"
Following an order from someone in the crowd, everyone lined up in a row. Li Yi could see that those standing in a row were all the stronger young adults in the team.
This is understandable, after all, adult men are stronger than others in terms of physical fitness and resistance, not to mention that most of the young adults in the team are soldiers or veterans.
There is absolutely no problem with willpower.
And he soon understood how these people wanted to fight against the strong wind.
To put it simply, it is to use human walls to artificially create a wind channel.
Let the strongest person act as a wall and leave an opening so that when the wind blows, the wind channel left by the wall can have an outlet for venting. In this way, no matter how strong the wind is, it will not have much impact on people.
I have to say that this concept is quite clever, at least Li Yi thinks it is very good.
Of course, this also has preconditions.
That is, the person who acts as the human wall near the wind channel must be strong enough.
In other words, these people near the wind channel can't just be strong, but need some special abilities.
Or maybe a warrior.
If you have the Qi of a warrior, the possibility of resisting the strong wind will be greatly increased.
And don’t forget, this is just the appetizer for this battle.
In addition to bearing the brunt of the strong wind, the main course was the army of beasts that followed.
Soon, Li Yi discovered that this kind of appetizer did not require his hand at all. This group of people could make it very well by themselves.
After all, this is to protect their hometown and their hope of surviving the winter.
Everyone puts aside their prejudices in order to win more food.
From what Li Yi could see, the soil sedge that had not yet been harvested was swaying in the wind, and almost all of it was blocked by the dense crowd of people in the land behind them.
This is the last batch of mulberry that has not yet caught up with the harvest. Although it is not much compared to the existing grain reserves, it is crucial.
As mentioned before, no one knows how long this long winter will last. It can even be said that as long as the ray of sunshine does not fall, no one dares to say that it will end lightly.
This means that winter will continue.
In addition to filling the stomach, Tuling also has other functions that cannot be ignored. '
The dried rhizome of Smilax sibirica is a good fuel, which not only provides long-term heat, but also does not cause any harm to the human body.
Here, almost every household will put a lot of dried mulberry roots behind the eaves to serve as the cheapest but practical fuel.
However, from the moment they knew winter was coming, these things, including stored grain, were immediately moved underground.
Yes, the moment the snowflakes fall, it means the arrival of winter, and people on the plains immediately transfer all their winter reserves to the underground storage rooms prepared by each household.
As for why humans didn't follow and hide, Li Yi soon found out.
"What is this?"
Li Yi couldn't help but blurted out in surprise, attracting the attention of passersby.
Perhaps it was because he was not dressed as an ordinary person, but the man did not say anything strange, but explained it very quickly.
"That's an underground beast. It's not very fast on the ground, but it's extremely suitable for crawling underground, especially land suitable for planting soil. For these guys, it's like they're in an uninhabited land, and these guys generally It comes with the strong wind, and when winter comes, these guys are also looking for food, and the roots of mulberry are their best food."
Having said this, the man couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic sneer on his face, but Li Yi knew it was not directed at him.
After all, the people here have been very familiar with this planet and the habits of the animals on the planet for thousands of years, and have summed up a set of effective tactics. If they can't even cope with these appetizers, I'm afraid they will have a long time ago. Extinct.
Sure enough, when the group of gopher-like creatures swarmed in the distance, no one in the crowd made a discordant sound. They all stood ready and held long-handled weapons tightly in their hands.
It was only then that Li Yi finally knew what the function of these seemingly inconspicuous long-handled weapons was.
"quick!"
Following the order, the people behind the strongest man all moved and began to harvest the Amaranth fruits before they had time to harvest them.
They seemed to be in a hurry. They only had time to cut the sage and put it in the basket.
The strange thing is that even in such a hurry, these people still arranged the left-over rhizomes one by one, as if they were waiting for something.
In the distance, the group of creatures with black spikes on their bodies that looked like a mixture of gophers and pangolins, their eyes lit up the moment they touched the red soil planted with sedge.
The next moment, all the earth-hiding beasts plunged into the soil mechanics and disappeared instantly, and all that could be seen were the waves of soil coming in like waves.
People did not move, but they all focused on the waves of mud that came one after another. They seemed to be waiting for something. The long-handled weapons in their hands were sweating, but no one was there. Dare to let go.
Everyone knows that the next moment will be the most critical part of the first wave of offensive.
Success or failure depends on whether you can stop this group of beasts robbing humans of food!
Li Yi subconsciously looked back at the group of people behind him who were frantically harvesting soil.
It was then that he suddenly discovered something different.
I don't know when it started, but the group of people had finished harvesting, and what they were doing was piling almost all the sage roots into several hills.
Everyone's movements are so smooth, like clouds and flowing water.
At that moment, Li Yi suddenly understood what these ordinary plains natives wanted to do.
I see!
Li Yi suddenly realized it and subconsciously tightened the dagger in his hand.
The first wave of battles to guard rations begins!
