Chapter 201 Deworming
After the rain outside the window, the sky returned to bright sunshine.
Joan was in a heavy mood, and had long since lost her appetite for meals. She stood up from the dining table and said to Major Vasa, "I'm sorry, excuse me."
Seeing him walking downstairs, Major Vassar followed him and advised, "It's not very polite to leave without saying hello to Martha."
"There is still a digger lurking in the garden. When the weather clears up, I want to get rid of it first, so as not to cause future trouble." Joan replied.
Major Vassar nodded knowingly and followed him out of the dining room.
"It's boring for me to stay here alone, maybe I can help you to go to the garden with you."
Joan thanked him and brought Major Vasa to the garden.
After the rain, the air in the garden is fresh and the vegetation is lush. If it weren’t for the corpses of digger bugs left on the grass near the pond, it would be a good place for a walk after dinner.
George Vassar counted the corpses of the diggers, and turned back to Joan in surprise: "You alone, kill three diggers?"
"And Miss Martha and Tata will help."
Joan pointed to the "activated scarecrow" guarding the door.
"That's amazing, too."
Major Vassar understands Miss Martha's strength. Her shotgun can indeed provide cover for Joan, but someone has to face the swarms of diggers head-on. A clumsy scarecrow won't help much in this case. It can be seen that Joan Anben is the main combat force against the diggers. What's more, he is only a thirteen-year-old little mage, not to mention strength, just this courage makes the major, who has experienced many battles, awe-inspiring.
"Joan, how many diggers are there in the garden?"
"There is at least one more. I saw it go into the burrow and hide with my own eyes. The problem now is how to drive it out of the burrow."
"You have more experience in dealing with diggers than I do. I will follow your command." Major Vasa said half-jokingly, "Please give the order, sir."
Joan scratched her head embarrassingly: "Since you think highly of me so much, then... I'll give it a try."
He opened the storage bag, took out a bundle of mosquito-grass tied with twine, thought for a while, and said to George Vassar: "Mr. Colonel, please help me collect some firewood that is easy to ignite."
George Vassar nodded, intentionally or unintentionally looking at Tata standing behind Joan with his hands down.
"Tata can't be burned!" Joan hurriedly waved his hand to stop it.
"Isn't the straw in the stomach okay?" Major Vassar smiled half-smile.
"Of course not! Without straw to fill the body, Tata's skeleton and joints are vulnerable to damage!"
Joan explained eagerly, while keeping the activated scarecrow behind him, lest Major Vasa would disembowel the poor little guy.
"Don't worry, I was just joking. There are plenty of firewood in the garden, so it won't take down the expensive activated scarecrow." Major Vassar laughed.
Joan wiped off his cold sweat. I never expected that Mr. Major, who is always serious and stern, also has a humorous side.
"I remember that there is a small wooden house for storing sundries opposite the rose bushes. There should be firewood in it. Wait a minute, I'll go and have a look."
Major Vassar walked into the flowers, and came back with a large bundle of dry firewood in a short while, and asked Joan if he wanted to put the pile of firewood at the entrance of the digger's hole.
"The diggers may rush out of the cave at any time, it's too risky to just walk there, just put the firewood here."
Joan pointed to his feet.
Major Vasa put the firewood on the ground, staring at Joan curiously, not quite understanding what he was going to do next.
If the bonfire is lit here, the nearest cave is also thirty yards away, and the smoke emitted is difficult to blow into the cave, so how can it smoke out the bugs hidden deep in the cave?
Joan didn't explain much, and cast the best 1st-level spell "Hand of the High Mage", and the remote-controlled magic hand grabbed a bundle of firewood and moved it thirty yards away, and placed it in front of the upward-sloping cave. Soil, keep the opposite mound as a barrier from the wind.
Seeing it in his eyes, George Vassar looked stunned and nodded approvingly.
Joan continued to mobilize the magic hand, poured a large bottle of lamp oil on the pile of firewood, inserted a paper twist, and lit it with a flint.
Dry firewood soaked in kerosene burns quickly.
Joan remotely controlled the magic hand, put the smoked mosquito grass on the bonfire, and took out a large piece of yellow "cockscomb stone" and threw it into the bonfire.
The smoked mosquito repellent emits a strong insect-repelling smell after being lit, and the spicy smell emitted by the cockscomb is also effective in repelling insects.
These two drugs, which emit a terrible smell at high temperatures, are the main materials used by Joan to prepare "insecticides".
Now that insecticides have been shown to be effective against burrowers, it is conceivable that the burrowers will also be very distressed by the smell of the smoke from the burning of mosquito-weed and cockscomb.
Joan placed the woodpile upwind of the cave entrance, and the thick smoke from the burning was naturally blown into the depths of the cave by the airflow.
Still thinking that the wind was not strong enough, he picked up the broom and stuffed it back into Tata's hand, ordered the activated scarecrow to come to the campfire with the ivory amulet, and used the broom as a fan to fan the smoke into the cave.
The scarecrow didn't need to breathe, so he was not affected by the choking smoke. He swung his broom vigorously and performed the task Joan entrusted to him.
Joan waited patiently for five minutes, and noticed that the four caves distributed in the grass were emitting green smoke one after another, which meant that the thick smoke had filled the underground nests of the diggers.
"Be careful, the diggers are about to be smoked out." Joan lowered his voice and reminded Major Vasa beside him.
Major Vasa nodded his head, reached out to touch the storage bag, did not know what kind of spell was used, a glaring light suddenly exploded on his body, and he put on the gleaming silver armor in an instant.
After changing into a suit of combat equipment, Major Vasa first blessed himself with the "Shield of Piety", then patted Joan on the back lightly, and blessed him with the 2-ring magic spell "Protection from Acid Erosion Damage", and finally he also blessed himself The same protective spell is also blessed to prevent the metal armor from being corroded by the digestive juice spit out by the digger.
At this time, the mound of earth around the opening of a cave on the opposite side fell apart, and there was a sharp hissing sound from the depths of the cave.
"The bugs are coming out!" Qiao An tensed up suddenly, her voice trembling uncontrollably.
Major Vasa didn't change his face, and strode towards the cave where the abnormal movement came from.
Reaching out to lightly touch the storage bag, a thick knight shield and a red long sword exuding a scorching breath appeared out of thin air and were held tightly in his hands.
Almost at the same time, the green digger suddenly rushed out of the cave, half of its body was exposed from the cave entrance, shaking its head and hissing and screaming.
Although the eyes were stinging from the thick smoke and it was difficult to see, the monster still sensed with its tentacles that someone was approaching him.
Perhaps it was frightened before, which left a psychological shadow on it, or maybe it realized that other companions had been hunted down, and it could not fight against powerful human hunters by itself. Retract into the cave and hide.
Major Vasa suddenly swung his sword and pointed at the monster, and let out a shout full of holy magic power!
"Canwa!"
