Vol 11 Chapter 43: dam

?
"The front can't go, we have to detour, the trolls built a dam on the river!" Lago said breathlessly.
Previously, because the message from the gargoyle in the air was not clear, the thieves had to go ashore in advance and explore the road ahead. Only he did not expect that he would see a shocking scene, and he couldn’t keep on inquiring and rushed back to report.
"The trolls built a dam?!" When I heard the news on the first day, everyone thought that their ears were out of order. Just to see the indescribable smile on the thief's face, I realized that he was not joking.
At this time, it has been nearly two days since the people rescued the Ilistin in the Troll Village. This road is a rare leisure time for everyone, but now it seems that their luck is running out.
At the beginning, the stream flowing down the raft gradually spread to other streams in the north, and it has completely turned into a big river. According to Marstad, the river is not yet a river, but it is also very close to the main channel.
The river is currently more than 30 meters wide and the water depth is more than ten meters. However, the water flow has become gentler, but it is not as urgent as the previous stream. Everyone thought that they could go into the Weihe River along the river, and completely get rid of the threat of the trolls. I didn't expect it to be stopped at the last minute by a dam.
It is definitely not a small measure to build a dam on a river course that is more than 30 meters wide and has a water depth of more than ten meters. Although everyone knows that trolls are not beasts and a kind of wise race, they never thought that the races that were still in the primitive tribal form would build a dam, which completely overturned the trolls in everyone’s minds. Image.
"Go, let's go see!" Qin Lun took a shot of Lago's shoulder and motioned him to take him.
"I will go too!" Marstad frowned and kept up with the two.
When she stood up, Ilistin did not accept the loss and let Qin Lun look at a headache. Since discovering the Highland Elf with Qin Lun, Ilistin has a sense of insecurity. As the injury on his body is better, he does not consciously compete with Mastacha.
However, as an elf druid, Ilistin also has a field survival experience, and will not become a burden for several people, so she has to go with her.
After the thieves sneaked in the bushes on both sides of the river for about thirty minutes, the four men came to a high on the shore. Looking down from here, you can see the river scene more than ten kilometers away.
"It's really a dam!" Looking at the dam that is more than 30 meters wide and more than ten meters wide in the distance, Qin Lun also experienced the stunned feelings of the thieves.
"How could this be the case, the troll would actually build a dam!" Marstad whispered in disbelief.
Qin Lun blinked and fell into meditation. He had already sent the sights he saw to the team channel, so that Hill and Rand could see it.
The dam of this wood-rock structure is about three meters thick, and the main body is a square rock. The front and back sides are wrapped with two layers of neatly arranged wooden piles, just like a wall of cobble stone heart.
In the waterline position of the dam, some of the piles have been soaked and decayed by the river. However, some piles can also see the tender green leaves on the top. Obviously the trolls often have the dam.
In addition to the shock that the dam itself brought to them, another scene that the thieves had not observed before, also surprised the Qinlun four, and also realized why the trolls had to build such a dam.
In the upper part of the dam, the trolls rely on the solid platform built by the boulder underneath to build a row of fence fences similar to the female wall, with some pistols made of Warcraft fur.
After careful observation on the river, Qin Lun suddenly found that the dam was not worthy of the name, because the river flowing down the river came here, and there were many small vortices on the waterline of the dam, showing that the water flow was not Completely blocked, or can be leaked.
"I understand that the dam built by the trolls is not strictly underneath. The water flow can flow through the gap between the boulder and the pegs below." Qin Lun said with a fist and a smile, "Look at those that have been extended to Underwater pilo, I think there should be something like a fishing net or a fish basket underwater."
"You mean that the trolls built this dam to get aquatic products!"
The rest of the three are thoughtful, if they change before they see the dam, Qin Lun will probably be used as a joke. But after seeing this dam, they no longer regard the troll as a stupid, low-intelligence race.
"The river can pass, our rafts can't pass!" Lago shook his head with a wry smile. "We estimate that we have to detour, or go back and prepare!"
"No, wait a minute!" Qin Lun stretched his hand to the thief and shook his head seriously. "We can't just go back, we must go ahead and continue to investigate."
Lago’s only frown will come to understand.
Are you worried about the size of this troll village?

"Firard's fears are justified!" Mastasia nodded slowly. "According to our past experience, most of the troll tribes have a population of only a few dozen to two hundred. Because of the troll's food intake. Large, the village population is too large, will affect the surrounding ecological environment, leading to the inability to maintain their survival and reproduction.
But here is already the depths of the Troll's Claw Mountain Range. The outside world knows very little about it. We don't know how much the troll tribe can be maintained here. If the size of this village is beyond our common sense, then its footprint may be very large. It is best to check it in advance so as not to accidentally fall into the trap.

The fears of Qin Lun and Mastasia were correct. When the four men walked a few kilometers forward again, they finally saw the typical wooden stake fence wall of the Troll tribe.
However, unlike the troll village they saw on the periphery of the troll's claws, the fence wall was not only tall and strong, but it was barely visible at a glance, only a few kilometers long.
Through a few door openings in the fence wall, they even observed other deeper fence walls in the depths of the interior, which obscured the buildings inside the village and made people unable to see the specific conditions.
"I think we should go to the heights and see it again!" Marstad pointed to a low mountain on the right side of the fence wall.
This low mountain looks taller than the gentle slopes along the way of Qin Lun and others. The upper part of the mountain has exposed the rugged rocks and formed a steep mountain wall.
"You wait here, I fly up and see!" Ilistin eagerly tried. After nearly two days of rest, her injury was greatly improved and she could be turned into a giant eagle.
"No, we climbed up. There may be a cocked eagle's lair on the low hill. It's too dangerous to fly like this." Qin Lun reached out to stop Ilistin.
Because the situation in front of us was somewhat unexpected, the four looked very cautious. When climbing a mountain, try to choose the side of the sun, so as not to be accidentally seen by the trolls under the mountain.
Climbing to a cliff platform near the top of the mountain, they finally saw the whole picture of the troll tribe under the mountain, and suddenly the faces of the four people became extremely ugly.
The troll tribes that appeared in front of them were across the river, elliptical, with an east-west span of tens of kilometers and north and south more than ten kilometers. The interiors are diverse in form and are no longer confined to a high-rise house. They even saw a megalithic altar with a circumference of hundreds of meters.
There are hundreds of young trolls scattered around the central open space to chase and play. This is not a troll village at all, but a troll town!
The most amazing thing is that in this troll town, in addition to the troll creature, there is also a giant wolf like a wolf dog. These canines with sharp fangs seem to be hunting hunters for trolls, and they can be seen in Zhaimen and the core areas of the town.
"I used to listen to other harpists. Some trolls will raise three eyelids as hunting companions. I didn't expect it to be true." Mastacha said with a sinking voice. "The trolls in this town have at least a thousand people. Once they were discovered, we couldn’t escape much by virtue of the tracking ability of the three-eyed scorpion."
"That's a little farther away, bypassing this troll town, I don't believe that the canyon is so big, we can't find the gap to slip past." Lago scratched his head and said optimistically.
"Hey, look, what is that?" Elistin suddenly took a small nose and looked up at the top of the mountain.
Everyone followed her finger, and saw a white smog coming from the top of the mountain not far from them. EbookFREE.me~ gathered in the air.
"There are people above!" The crowd is a spirit, and this smog is obviously not owned by nature, but artificially produced.
"Lago, go up and see!" Qin Lun thieves lifted the chin, before you know the situation, you must rely on Lago's stealth ability, now is not the time to be able.
"There are three troll sentinels on the top, they are roasting!" For a moment, Lago brought back a message that the four men were sweating.
Even if they have realized that these trolls have great wisdom, a few people still have some care. If the troll sentinel is lazy, if this time is just when they eat, I am afraid that several people’s actions have already been discovered.
However, the existence of these three troll sentinels also made Lago’s proposal just dead. The woods of the Troll's Claw Mountain Range are not dense. Looking down from the top of the mountain, the scenery below is clearly distinguishable.
The troll town in front of us has a huge area. If the team really detours from the bottom of the mountain, it will take at least two or three hours to really go around. For so long, no matter how lazy these troll sentinels are, I am afraid that they will observe the ranks of the team, and there will be more fun.
