About ten miles away from the village, there is a small mound of more than thirty acres covered with weeds, without even a few shrubs.

During the non-rainy season, the women in the village often graze the few cattle and sheep in the village here. In order to prevent the cattle and sheep from being taken away by aquatic monsters in the swamp, a shack for guarding is built on the small mound.

A man who was about 1.2 meters tall, strong, with a fierce look, and with various sword patterns tattooed on his gray skin with red paint, sat in the shack, carefully wiping a double-edged axe in his hand that was as tall as him with a piece of animal skin.

The axe was made of fine steel, and there were faintly visible messy lines on the axe blade.

This is a fine weapon produced by the God of Craftsmanship Village. It was obtained with the price of one hundred cows, ten jars of wine, and five young and beautiful girls.

Even though the price was so ridiculous, we gave them a 50% discount because of the reputation of their God of War Village.

It’s expensive. Very expensive. So expensive that it makes my heart bleed.

But it was worth it. The big man swung the heavy axe with satisfaction. He was very strong, and ordinary weapons were as light as straw in his hands. But this axe, I don't know what the craftsmen in the God of Craftsman Village added to it, the axe was very heavy, just the right weight.

With the help of this axe, he killed at least a thousand of the monsters in the swamp that attacked their God of War Village during this rainy season!

A thousand ferocious beasts in the swamp, that’s a lot of meat!

The meat of the ferocious creatures he killed would be enough to provide food and clothing for hundreds of people in the village this year!

There was still a drizzle. Several young men, who were equally tall, strong and sturdy, with a generally fierce look on their faces but a slightly immature breath, walked back in the thick mud, talking and laughing excitedly as they walked.

"Are you done?" The big man asked with a chuckle, holding the axe across his knees.

"It's done." A young man sat down next to the big man, took out a piece of dried meat from the animal skin package beside the big man and started chewing it. While chewing, he said vaguely: "Some mud crabs and some four-legged fish entrails were scattered around their village. Many mud crabs, four-legged fish, and other big guys who were just passing by and returning to the depths of the swamp were alarmed."

Another young man said jokingly, "The two nearby villages of the God of Fire have less than a thousand warriors in total. We have scattered enough mud crabs and four-legged fish entrails to lure away the evil creatures in the swamp. I'm afraid that at least 10,000 people will be unable to resist them!"

The big man laughed and said, "That's right, we can't resist. Once all of these monsters in the swamp are killed, this place will be ownerless. We, the descendants of the God of War, have occupied an ownerless land. Who dares to say a word of nonsense?"

Gently stroking the axe, the big man squinted his eyes and said softly: "Fire copper, good stuff, just a few baskets of broken stones can be exchanged for so many metal weapons? These metal weapons should only be in the hands of our descendants of the God of War."

The breathing of several young men also became heavy.

Every time the descendants of the God of War had to exchange living animals, expensive wines, and especially young and beautiful women for metal weapons, they were reluctant to do so. Wouldn't it be better to use these materials to develop their own village?

Before the rainy season, they suddenly learned that there was a small village built by the descendants of the God of Fire, and they were able to easily exchange several weapons with some broken stones!

How great is it that the stones dug out from the ground can be exchanged for metal weapons?

It just takes some manpower to dig it out of the ground!

There is no need to waste those precious livestock, fine wine and women!

It was the wise elders of the village who made the decision to take advantage of the moment when the rainy season was about to end but not over yet, and the ferocious beasts that had run out from the depths of the swamp to hunt had not yet retreated, and to lure these ferocious beasts to attack the Fire God Village!

As long as they kill all the people in the village and their village takes over this territory, who can say anything?

If the rainy season had not just ended and the warriors in the village were busy hunting and replenishing the village's food stores, and had not been able to mobilize too many people to come all the way to start a war, they would have directly wiped out the village without having to use such a small trick.

The young man who was chewing the dried meat swallowed the meat in his mouth, cleared his throat, and said with a hint of curiosity: "But, Uncle, the earthen wall around this Vulcan Village is really high and thick. I have never seen such a high and thick earthen wall."

Frowning, the young man said in a deep voice, "Every rainy season, when those monsters in the swamp attack the village, the village elders always say that it would be better if our earthen walls could be higher and thicker. But when soaked by the flood, the earthen walls that are too high will always collapse easily."

Shaking his head, the young man said in confusion: "In the Fire God Village, how did they build a wall of earth more than three people high? And even with the flood, their wall of earth showed no sign of collapsing."

The sturdy man was stunned. He tightened his grip on the axe and frowned.

"An earthen wall more than three people high? It will definitely collapse if it is soaked by the flood. I have never heard of any village being able to build such a high earthen wall. It's interesting. Let's go and take a look."

The few young men who had just returned from the rain looked at each other with sad faces, shook their heads, and followed the strong man out of the shack and plunged into the rain.

On the village wall, Chu Tian squatted on the wall, looking at the huge black shadow looming in the vast water outside.

He finally saw the mud crab. Didn’t the crab claws get their name from these big guys?

This is a giant crab, but the size of this giant crab is a little too big. The crab, which is three or five meters in size, waves its claws and smashes into the water, splashing countless water. It looks quite imposing.

The mud crab has a huge body and great brute force. In the past, if you encountered it in the wild, it would be difficult to deal with it without the joint efforts of thirty or fifty warriors.

Even for a warrior like Bear Claw, it would take five or six people working together to barely deal with a mud crab.

There are also four-legged fish, which are clearly giant crocodiles with a body length of up to 20 or 30 feet. These guys have thick skin and flesh, and are ferocious in temperament, making them more difficult to deal with than mud crabs.

As for the horn fish that the villagers mentioned posed a huge threat to the earthen wall, Chu Tian only saw large black shadows darting back and forth rapidly in the water. Wherever they passed, these black shadows knocked the big crocodiles to stagger, and it was obvious that the impact was very strong.

These black shadows should be hornfish, right?

However, they posed a great threat to the villagers' previous simple earthen enclosures, but had no real killing power against Chu Tian's wall reinforced with runes.

Chu Tian was just thinking about it when a black shadow suddenly crashed into the wall.

With a loud bang, about seven or eight breaths later, a strange fish about three meters long, short and fat, with a thick layer of bone armor on its head and seven or eight sharp short horns, emerged from the water.

This idiot broke his neck when he hit the wall and died on the spot.
