Chapter 555: Arrogant Mao Maos, Exposing Bellies, Trojan Deer!

~17 min read 3,207 words

After having a plan in his heart, Jier let Xueya Site continue to monitor the enemy Jiedian here, while he himself followed the direction given by Xueya Site and chased after them with quick steps.

He had a Big Nose, so after telling Big Nose his needs, Big Nose just sniffed casually and easily found the moving direction of those long-haired lynx Beast-men who were covered in beast-stench.

After thinking for a moment, Jier instantly returned to the lady's dream, placed many of his weapons and equipment in the dream, and changed into a set of captured enemy Soldier Armor. Although Jier was tall, because he was still at an age where he was growing, there were still sizes among the captured enemy armor that he could wear.

After changing into a set of enemy weapons and equipment, Jier then returned to reality.

Big Nose sat squatting on the spot, tilting its head curiously, watching Jier disappear and then reappear.

During the short time Jier disappeared, it became somewhat blurry because of the brief lack of supply of the Agricultural God's Divine Power from Jier. But as Jier appeared again quickly, its figure became solid again.

But Jier did not know about this kind of thing; having changed into a set of equipment, if not for the fact that he did not have the accent of the Southern Province people when speaking, he looked about the same as those Defeated Soldiers.

Finally, Jier shook a money bag he carried with him, confirmed that it contained enough money to bribe the Mao Maos, and then chased after them with quick steps.

After chasing for quite a while, it was only because he had Big Nose's tracking help along the way that he was not left too far behind by the Mao Maos.

Who would have thought that these short-legged, small-statured long-haired lynx Beast-men would have such strong mobility in the forest?

Ordinary people really aren't as fast as them when running in the forest.

And Jier noticed that as he chased the Mao Maos all the way here, he didn't actually find many small animals in the forest.

Those noisy little things seemed to have all disappeared?

And when Jier caught up to the Mao Maos, he realized that these Mao Maos were each covered with the corpses of various birds, insects, and small lizards. They used self-made vine fibers to string these animal corpses together and hang them on their bodies; nearly twenty Mao Maos were covered in these things.

It looked like a bountiful harvest.

"Hi! Everyone! Does anyone among you speak Human Common Language?"

After Jier caught up, he took the initiative to say to the Mao Maos.

These little things only then discovered that someone was following them; they first pointed their one-meter-long small wooden sticks with metal tips at Jier, then raised their tails behind them high, putting on a defensive posture.

But as they saw clearly the Soldier Armor Jier was wearing, they then lowered their tails one after another, but the 'Long Spears' in their hands remained pointed at Jier.

They muttered and communicated internally for a while, and then a Mao Mao with majestic markings on its head walked out of the team; it also had a jar hanging on its body, which was filled with various insect larvae they had taken from the trees in the forest.

Seeing Jier notice the wooden jar it was carrying, this Mao Mao took out a plump insect larva from it and handed it to Jier.

"Just... eat!"

It tried, and finally said accurate Human Common Language.

Jier looked troubled, and just as he was planning to endure the discomfort and take the larva handed over by the Mao Mao, these Mao Maos suddenly laughed out loud, as if the expression on Jier's face made them very happy.

The Mao Mao, which seemed to have successfully pulled a prank, casually sent the insect larva into its own mouth, chewed it with a smacking sound, then quickly sucked out the sticky substance inside, and finally spat out the remaining empty shell of the larva.

Only then did it put its hands on its hips, its tail behind it slapping the ground one after another, and asked Jier: "Sol... dier, soldier. Looking for, us, have, task? Help... ing? Seek... ing help?"

Jier nodded, confirming that this Mao Mao had not guessed wrong.

But he did not expect that this Mao Mao would then reach out its small hand and shake it up and down: "Coins! Coins! Have, coins, Mao Mao, help. No, coins, Mao Mao, leave!"

Jier knew it would be like this; once these alien races have more contact with humans, they all realize that human coins are a good thing. Because although they are small in volume and weight, they can be exchanged for other things in human settlements.

Although they cannot be put to immediate use after getting them, the Mao Maos just need to know that these things can be exchanged for items at any time.

"Have money! Have money!"

Jier immediately shouted loudly.

Upon hearing that he had money, the Mao Maos present all became excited; they looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Jier immediately noticed the change in the surrounding atmosphere; he raised his eyebrows, not expecting that unlike the Yongqi Maomao, this group of Mao Maos was actually so unruly.

Sure enough, the very next moment, someone among the surrounding Mao Maos let out a shout, and they rushed toward Jier one after another. The one closest to him even cast aside the wooden jar on its body, used its tail to slap the ground for leverage, and threw its whole body at Jier's head and face.

"Hey! You Bandits!"

Jier shouted with a smile, raised his hand and threw a punch; he didn't even dare to use force, fearing that he would kill this Mao Mao with one punch, so he only used ten percent of his strength to send this bold guy flying.

But then more Mao Maos around cast aside their hunting harvest and rushed at him from more directions.

Jier aimed at their figures, one punch for each, punching quickly to knock away the Mao Maos rushing at his upper body. He was holding back his strength, so the Mao Maos that were hit were only knocked away; after landing and rolling, they could climb back up.

And there were Mao Maos that approached Jier but did not attack directly; instead, they swung their long tails behind them, wrapping them around Jier's legs, seemingly wanting to trip Jier to the ground.

But Jier kept his feet on the ground and moved backward quickly, instead pulling the Mao Maos to fall to the ground one after another, dragging them along the ground.

"You are still too light! Your body weight is too light!" Jier laughed.

A Mao Mao shouted something in a fit of pique, and immediately, Mao Maos that hadn't approached threw the small Long Spears in their hands at Jier.

Jier chuckled, aimed at the flight trajectory of those miniature Long Spears, and slightly adjusted the angle of his body, letting the opponent's small Long Spears strike the thick parts of the Soldier Armor on his body.

Clang!

Those small and light mini Long Spears bounced off directly after hitting the Armor.

The other Mao Maos didn't believe it; why couldn't their always-useful Long Spears hurt the Soldier in front of them?

So, they threw Long Spears at Jier from a distance one after another. Jier dodged a bit at first, but later he simply waved his arms, letting the Metal Armor Plates on his arms deflect the 'offensive' of these miniature Long Spears.

"Are you guys even capable?"

Jier's mocking remark completely enraged these Mao Maos. They simply stopped throwing Long Spears from a distance; after a few exchanges, they simply swarmed up, intending to use the body weight of twenty Mao Maos to directly crush Jier, this single person.

As long as they tackled Jier, they could snatch the entire set of Armor on Jier's body and also snatch all the money bags at his waist.

They didn't dare to kill humans, but they dared to rob a Soldier who was alone and had boldly come to their door, and they were very bold at that.

Jier saw through their intentions; instead of retreating, he advanced. One hand pressed against the money bag at his waist, the other hand covered his head, face, and neck, and then he strode toward the Mao Maos.

The Mao Maos that rushed up at the first moment were directly knocked flying by Jier, crying out in pain after falling to the ground. This time, Jier used a little more strength, and they couldn't withstand it.

Mao Maos kept climbing onto Jier's body from the surroundings, hooking onto Jier with their tails and shaking their bodies back and forth, wanting to throw Jier to the ground. As long as a person fell, they would be suppressed by the larger number of them, and by then, Jier wouldn't even be able to get up.

But Jier didn't even sway; he strode forward, heading straight toward the trunks of the big trees around him.

Thud!

Thud-thud!

Jier himself was fine, but the Mao Maos on his body were hurt by the impact, falling off one after another, and then were kicked away by Jier.

There were more and more injured Mao Maos, and fewer and fewer on Jier's body. Finally, Jier opened his palms, grabbed the last few Mao Maos one by one, and threw them away.

Some Mao Mao lost their balance in a daze, were thrown by Jier, hit a large tree, and fell to the ground with a thud. Others had decent agility, adjusting themselves in mid-air, hooking onto tree branches with their tails in time, and landing after swinging a few times.

"How about it? Still want to fight? Do you know who is stronger now?"

Jier stood with his hands on his hips, laughing heartily as he spoke.

The Mao Mao had expressions of submission and slight fear on their faces, and they stopped talking. The previous savage look in their eyes also gradually cleared up.

"You, very strong! Others, Soldier, weak. We, surrender."

It was the same Mao Mao that had spoken before; it rubbed its own arm and said to Jier with a reluctant expression.

"Heh heh, if you surrender, you should look like you're surrendering!"

Unexpectedly, after Jier said this casually, the Mao Mao looked at each other in surprise, exchanged a few words, and then all honestly walked forward, exposing their furry bellies to Jier: "Belly, for you, look. Rub, belly. Accept our, surrender."

Jier couldn't help but smile. He patted the heads of the Mao Mao lining up one by one, then casually rubbed their furry bellies. They were furry and soft, and combined with the aggrieved expressions and eyes of these Mao Mao, it was truly interesting.

After touching all their bellies, Jier then took a Gold Coin from his money pouch, moving it around in his hand to attract the gaze of all the Mao Mao.

Gold is naturally attractive to all living creatures, and intelligent beings who know the value behind it love these little trinkets even more.

Seeing that they were all attracted by the Gold Coin, Jier spoke up: "I need you to do me a favor."

It was late afternoon, and the Jiedian was becoming hot.

It was all the fault of the soldiers for cutting down all the trees in the Jiedian, so everyone had to hide in the shadows of the buildings within the Jiedian to face the scorching sun overhead.

If one did not hide in the shade, one would feel dizzy from the sun after only a short while.

The Villagers busy beside the Furnace were drinking bucket after bucket of clear water at this time, relying on this to cool down their bodies. These Villagers responsible for smelting Metal Ingot did not always have work to do; after smelting the morning's batch of metal, they had nothing to do after cleaning the Furnace.

Sitting here idly was fine, but without working, they could not get food from the Defeated Soldier. Therefore, after confirming there was nothing to do in the afternoon, many young male Villagers whose families were still hungry put on their clothes, shouldered their mining tools, and dove back into the Mine.

The gate of the Jiedian opened on the east side of the Jiedian. The entire Jiedian had only this one entrance and exit, and it was not a common gate that opened left and right, but rather a method of using Rope to pull a cart and lift several large tree trunks to serve as the gate for entry and exit.

This kind of gate had one advantage: to open it, it required more than a dozen people inside to coordinate to lift the hundreds of kilograms of heavy tree trunks, and both people and supplies would enter and exit the Jiedian through the passage opened by the lifting.

And when the tree trunks fell, they would lock into pre-arranged grooves, making it not very easy to break through by force.

Precisely because of this, this gate did not even have anyone specifically responsible for guarding it; when entering or exiting, they would temporarily let nearby soldiers pull the Rope to open the gate.

There were messy footsteps outside the Jiedian, along with the sharp, chattering voices of Mimi, and a group of soldiers patrolling the wall went over to look, discovering that it was the group of alien Beast that had gone out hunting at noon returning.

"Yo, the harvest this time is not small! I thought they could only catch some bugs or hunt birds or something," a soldier teased.

He pointed his hand toward the line of Mao Mao outside the Jiedian.

The soldier next to him also leaned over to take a look: "Oh, it really is, such a big, fat Forest Deer. I heard that deer meat and deer blood can enhance that ability, is it true?"

"The Noble lords all love to eat that, so it's probably not false. If you want to eat it, just take some coins and buy a leg from them. Those aliens will definitely give you a deer leg for money."

"Forget it, if I spend money to buy a deer leg, unless I cook it myself, otherwise if I hand it to someone else to roast, I don't know whose mouth it will end up in, so why should I waste that money?"

After the two finished speaking, they waved at some idle soldiers inside the Jiedian, making a gesture to open the gate.

Some soldiers remained unmoved, lying in their Tent pretending to be fast asleep, while others stood up grumbling, complaining about why those aliens had to go out hunting several times a day, and why they couldn't just be like them, the Human, and eat some Wheat Porridge made from wheat grains. If they thought Wheat Porridge didn't taste good, Bread should be fine, right?

These soldiers came to the gate, grabbed the ropes on the ground one after another, and then one person took the lead in calling out a chant; everyone exerted force together, using simple wooden pulleys to lift the tree trunks blocking the entrance vertically.

The Mao Mao swarmed in. Many of them were covered in various birds from the forest, and some Mao Mao were holding several wooden jars filled with various wriggling insect larvae, which would make the soldiers faint just by looking at them.

And the most attractive thing was that this time the aliens had gone out hunting, they had actually captured a Forest Deer over two meters large!

Moreover, this Forest Deer had a bulging belly, looking as if it were pregnant.

However, the perfectly good deer hide had been mangled by the Mao Mao with their small Long Spear. The whole deer had no other obvious wounds, and many soldiers estimated that this unlucky deer had died from excessive blood loss.

"Is it the season for deer to be pregnant recently?"

"Who knows? Are there few strange things in these mountains and forests? You wouldn't have forgotten how many abnormal things we've seen before, would you?"

"That's true."

Although they envied the hunting harvest of the aliens, the soldiers dared not have too much contact with these hateful little Thief aliens. Because these little things would really steal your things!

Every night they would take advantage of the darkness to appear in the Yingdi, sneaking into the soldiers' Tent to steal anything they could! Especially metal items.

If you couldn't catch them on the spot, they would never admit it.

Even if you caught them, they wouldn't admit it, and they would gather together to exert pressure and rescue the companion who had been caught.

Many soldiers looked enviously at the huge harvest of the aliens; many people had been tired of drinking Wheat Porridge and eating rough Bread these days, and especially wanted to eat a meal of meat!

So they stopped the line of Mao Mao, took out a handful of Iron Coin, and wanted to trade for one or two deer legs.

But the method that was usually foolproof did not work today.

The Mao Mao whose path was blocked were furious and started shouting, and some agile ones even snuck away, running to the Mine to notify other clansmen.

Just as they were at a stalemate here, a large group of Mao Mao poured out of the Mine, at least a hundred of them. Although the Mao Mao were small, they completely overwhelmed the Defeated Soldier who were blocking the road to buy meat in terms of numbers.

"Deer! We, ourselves, eat! Do not, sell!"

The Mao Mao leading the team kept repeating this sentence, which left the Defeated Soldier who intended to buy meat helpless. With so many Mao Mao around, they were completely surrounded, and the other soldiers were just standing in the distance watching them make fools of themselves.

"Forget it, if you won't sell, then don't. It's like we're threatening you."

"Exactly, get out of the way, get out of the way! I won't buy it, is that fine! It's just a stinky deer, as if anyone cares."

"Heh heh, these animals in the Forest are full of parasites; if you gave it to me to eat, I wouldn't even dare to eat it."

"Exactly, exactly."

Saying these strange things, these few soldiers pushed past the Mao Mao and walked away.

And the Mao Mao carried the Forest Deer with the bulging belly and walked toward the Mine.

As for Jier? Jier was actually inside the belly of this deer! He had almost given himself away just now, but fortunately, the relationship between the soldiers and the Mao Mao was not good, and a small number of soldiers did not dare to provoke so many Mao Mao.
