One morning a few days later, the Colosseum in Ratchet Village was full of joy, and the circular stairs were filled with excited and shouting murlocs.

The fishmen's favorite entertainment is to watch bloody gladiatorial scenes.

Gladiators were driven into the arena to kill each other or engage in hand-to-hand combat with wild beasts, while the bloodthirsty murlocs derived a savage pleasure from the bloody sacrifices of the gladiators.

Yang Yi took two little murlocs, Benbolba and Mojimus, to sit on the "VIP" stage with the best view in the Ratchet Village Colosseum and watch the life-and-death duel being staged in the open space.

A blue slippery-shelled lobster man is fighting a fierce battle with a red velociraptor. This lobster man's shrimp shell is thick and hard, but he is still underage after all. Under the sharp claws of the agile velociraptor, he can only Relying on two large shrimp claws to support him, the lobster man finally fell down due to exhaustion and was killed by the Velociraptor biting the head of the shrimp.

The bloody battle scene made every fishman watching the scene excited. Even Yang Yi found that he got a kind of barbaric pleasure from the bloodshed and sacrifice of the lobsterman.

"Do I also have a bloodthirsty gene hidden in me? Or am I gradually becoming like a fish-man because I have been with the fish-men for a long time?" Yang Yi thought while applauding.

After a duel ended, several murlocs quickly ran forward to pull away the dead lobster man's body. Yang Yi and the murlocs were waiting for the new gladiators to come on stage, when a beach patrolling murloc ran over. .

"Village chief, the tauren are looking for you." The fishman patrolling the beach reported.

"What tauren? This lord is looking very excited. Just tell the tauren that the village chief is not free now." Yang Yi waved his hand and dismissed the beach patrolling murloc.

With the development of Ratchet Village, more and more people have come to ask Yang Yi, the village chief, recently, but it is usually trivial matters, and he does not have time to go there every time.

The beach patrolling fishmen retreated, and the next battle was the highlight of the day. This time it was a duel between two lobsterman gladiators.

None of the lobstermen enslaved in Ratchet Village had any combat training, so after the two lobsterman gladiators met, there was a direct physical collision.

The two tall lobster men wielded four large shrimp claws and launched fierce attacks at each other regardless of their own safety. This duel was about the physical strength of both sides.

Such a battle scene without tricks can make the fishmen's blood boil even more, and the arena is suddenly noisy.

This duel between the lobstermen ended with the two lobsterman gladiators dying together. Yang Yi clapped vigorously, and then the beach patrolling murlocs ran over again.

"What's wrong?" Yang Yi was impatient.

"Village chief, the tauren said his name is Tujia Rune Totem." The murloc patrolling the beach said tremblingly.

"Tuga? What did this tauren say?"

"Said he needed help."

Yang Yi was confused when he heard that the tauren Tujia came to ask for help, but he got up and left the Colosseum immediately.

After leaving the Colosseum, Yang Yi was shocked to realize that the direction the beach patrolling murlocs took him this time was not to the west of Ratchet Village, but to the east where there were few people.

Tuga is a tauren druid with a kind attitude. This tauren is not bad. During the last negotiation, he even took the initiative to give notes on identifying herbs to Ratchet Village.

When Yang Yi followed the beach patrol fishmen to the east gate of the village, he saw the tauren Tujia. The always gentle tauren looked very anxious at this time.

"Young head of Ratchet Murloc Village, we need your help now." Tuga immediately asked for help after seeing Yang Yi.

"What happened? How can the Fishman Village help?" Yang Yi asked.

The tauren Tuga quickly explained the reason for the matter. It turned out that not long ago, Tuga asked the Archdruid of Thunder Bluff for help and found the hiding place of the wild boar mystic who caused the blight plague. So the orc general Thok at the Crossroads hurriedly organized the orc soldiers at the Crossroads to launch a surprise attack on the largest Steelmane Wildboar tribe in Thorn Ridge.

In the early hours of this morning, the orc soldiers entered the thorny jungle of the steel-maned wild boars and found a wild boar crypt. The orc general Sok led the orc warriors directly into the wild boar crypt to eradicate all the wild boar men.

The crypts of the wild boar people extend in all directions like a maze, and the number of wild boar people in the cave is much more than Thok imagined. The orc soldiers fell one by one under the weapons of the wild boar people. Thok and the orc soldiers were fighting in the dark. He was forced into a corner in a cave and had to fight with trapped animals.

Tuga, who had been fighting the Steelmane Wild Boars in the Thorn Jungle, quickly realized the situation of the orcs in the crypt, so he sent people to the crossroads for help. At the same time, he himself found the Rattooth Murloc Village closest to Thorn Ridge. .

"The orcs are trapped and come to the Murloc Village to ask for help. But what can I do in this Murloc Village? Do you want to bring fighting fishmen to the rescue?"

Yang Yi quickly turned his brain, trying to find the best option for Ratchet Village.

The current Thorntooth Murloc Village is just a newly rising small force in the Barren Land. If it weren't for being the closest to Thorn Ridge, the Tauren Tuga would never think of asking the Murlocs for help.

If the Murlocs in the Thorntooth Village can rescue the orcs, the benefits that the Thorntooth Village will get in the future will undoubtedly be huge. But now even the orcs are trapped by the wild boars. If the Murlocs want to make a difference in this battle, they may have to pay a huge price in casualties.

"Should I go or not?" Yang Yi found that his brain was not enough. At this critical moment, others were full of inspiration, but the more he thought about it, the more entangled he became.

"Go, gather the fighting Murlocs in the village, and bring all the lobster slaves who are taller than the Murlocs." Yang Yi finally gave an order to the patrolling Murlocs. No matter what, go and see the situation first.

It was morning time, and Old Blind and Brack were not in the village. Yang Yi took a few Murlocs to Alchemy Col to find Slark as soon as possible.

"Slark, the fighting murlocs in the Murloc Village are going out to fight. How many healing potions do you have here?" Yang Yi shouted as soon as he entered the Alchemy Col.

Slark was standing behind the alchemy table, carefully refining potions. Hearing Yang Yi's shout, he slowly put down the crystal bottle in his hand.

"Village chief, there are more than 50 bottles of [primary healing potions] and more than 20 bottles of [intermediate healing potions] here." Slark said lightly.

"Fortunately, there are reserves in advance. You go and take out all these healing potions. They may be used today."

Yang Yi asked the murlocs who followed him to move the potions to the place where the alchemy potions were placed. There may be a lot of casualties in today's battle. Although these potions are valuable, they cannot be saved.

"Slark, after this lord takes the murlocs out, the Ratchet Village will be handed over to you for your care. The village is short of fighting murlocs during this period. You must close the gates of the village and don't let anyone in." Yang Yi gave the task of guarding the house to Slark.

"Yes, village chief. Slark will defend Ratchet Village." Slark answered solemnly.

Alchemical potions were piled in a small cave, and several murlocs were busy carrying healing potions. Yang Yi was afraid that these murlocs would break the crystal bottles with their clumsy hands, so he hurried over.

"The red ones are healing potions, and those of other colors are not." Yang Yi commanded the murlocs. At this time, he found that in addition to healing potions, there were also many crystal bottles containing light blue and viscous brown liquids in the warehouse.

"Slark, are these brown ones [Flame Oil]?" Yang Yi asked Slark.

"Yes, the brown ones are [Flame Oil], and the blue ones are [Speed ​​Swimming Potion]." Slark answered.

Flame Oil is a level 3 alchemical product. It is an intermediate material for refining some alchemical potions and equipment. This is one of the three alchemical potions that Slark recommended to Yang Yi after he upgraded to a level 2 alchemist.

Later, after the announcement was made, Ratchet Village collected a lot of materials needed to refine the Flame Oil. Because Slark did not know how to use the [Flame Oil] to refine alchemical potions before, a lot of them were left in the warehouse.

"Very good, take all these [Flame Oil] with you." Yang Yi suddenly had an idea, and he thought of using fire attack again.

Fire attack is probably one of the easiest war strategies to think of, and it is also one of the most common strategies in war.

Being easy to think of does not mean that fire attack is a bad strategy. The number of times it has been used alone shows that fire attack is a tried and tested strategy.

When Yang Yi commanded the fishmen to carry the potion out of the Alchemy Col, the fighting fishmen in the village had also gathered. There were more than 200 strong fighting fishmen and more than 80 lobster slaves, and their momentum was not inferior to that of soldiers from other tribes.

The situation was urgent, and Yang Yi set off quickly with the fishmen and lobster slaves and the minotaur Tuga.

Along the way, the murlocs and lobster slaves marched quickly, and the tauren Tuga transformed into an agile cheetah to lead the murlocs forward.

"The druid's transformation skills are really cool. It turns out that this tauren named Tuga used the druid's cheetah form to travel. No wonder he could get to the ratchet village so quickly to ask for help." Yang Yi followed Tuga who had transformed into a cheetah and watched in amazement and envy.

After Tuga transformed into a cheetah, he ran very fast, but the murloc brigade could not keep up with his speed. Therefore, it was not until the second half of the night that Tuga led the murlocs to the outside of the thorn jungle of the steel-bristled wild boars where the orcs were trapped.

"In here?" Yang Yi pointed to the huge thorn jungle in front.

"It's here." The tauren Tuga nodded to confirm.

After getting Tuga's confirmation, Yang Yi used the eagle eye to look over. He wanted to save the orcs, but he didn't want to rush in with the murlocs rashly.

If things couldn't be done, Yang Yi would directly take the fighting murlocs in the village back to the village to sleep.

Through the Eagle Eye Technique, Yang Yi discovered that most of the thorns had withered and died due to the side effects of the withering plague, but it was still a headache. This place was said to be the territory of one of the largest tribes of the Steel Bristle Boarmen in Thorn Ridge.

"It just so happens that the thorn jungle was originally very humid and not easy to ignite. Now the residues left after these thick thorn vines withered are flammable."

The air in the barren land is dry, and the withered vines will dry quickly. Yang Yi found that the thorn jungle, which was mostly withered at this time, was a good place to use fire attacks.

Yang Yi immediately ordered the fishmen in the village to pour the flame oil everywhere. Now the boars in the thorn jungle are gathered near the cave, and there is no one guarding the periphery.

Flame oil is extremely flammable.

Soon, the red flames in the thorn jungle shot up into the sky.

The flames quickly ignited the withered thorny remains and the thick dead leaves on the ground. After dozens of breaths, the raging fire surrounded the wild boars in the thorn jungle.

After the fire spread, the wild boars in the thorn jungle immediately panicked, and for a while, the wild boars' howlings of alarm came one after another.

Yang Yi commanded the fishmen to set the fire and let them all retreat into the night.

In the firelight, Yang Yi found countless wild boars in the thorn jungle. The fishmen of the Thorntooth Village would probably never come back if they rushed in, so he immediately gave up the idea of ​​rushing into the thorn jungle.

"The fire has been set, and this fire is enough to hold back a large number of wild boars. The Thorntooth Village can only help this much. The trapped orcs inside, you can only pray for your own good."

Yang Yi held his hands and prayed for the orcs, which was considered to be the last bit of his strength.

There were countless withered and dead thorn vines and thick dead branches and leaves in the thorny jungle. This fire was as difficult to put out as a forest fire in the hot summer. The raging flames burned for a whole night without any sign of being put out.

The next morning, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and a sudden heavy rain fell on the barren land.

"Oh my god, it's not that the fishmen in our ratchet village don't help, this fire attack has always worked. But today I want to kill you, you should just follow it."

Yang Yi helplessly watched the downpour gradually extinguish the fire and wash away the ashes and stains on the ground.

It may not be possible to see a drop of rain in the barren land for several months, but it happened to rain heavily at this time. This rain was unusual. .
