Chapter 294 Frenzy Bay
Tonight, the blackfin murlocs defeated the lobstermen, and the blackfin murlocs also paid a painful price.
With the death of the matriarch of the Dirt Shell Clan at the mouth of Tesser, the blackfin murlocs finally got rid of the long-standing nightmare, and the lobstermen of the Dustwallow Marsh are no longer a threat.
Yang Yi searched the sea to no avail and had to return to the shore.
At this time, the murlocs on the shore were still treating the wounded and cleaning the battlefield. Seeing Yang Yi come ashore, Brak, Thief Eyes and the wise men of the Blackfin Clan all gathered.
"You three have done a good job in this great victory. This lord will definitely reward you according to your merits." Yang Yi said with a leadership attitude.
"The lord is wise!" Brak immediately shouted happily.
"Thank the mayor for believing in Thief Eyes, and thanks to the sea monster brought by the mayor to swallow the matriarch of the Dirt Shell Clan, we have this great victory." Thief Eyes said humbly.
Yang Yi felt much more comfortable when he heard Thief Eyes say this.
Compared with Brak who is straightforward, Thief Eyes is still more talkative.
The lobsterman was defeated, and Yang Yi began to care about planting mud grass in the Dustwallow Marsh.
The Dustwallow Marsh can be roughly divided into two areas, the northern and southern areas, namely the mud swamps in the north, which are composed of countless shallow mud pools, and the southern areas of the Dragon Swamp, which have larger and deeper mud pools and many half-exposed rocks.
The Black Dragon Valley in the southernmost part of the Dragon Swamp is the lair of the black dragon, and the rocks exposed on the ground in the Black Dragon Valley are the ideal nests for the black dragon.
The black dragon is a dangerous creature, and Yang Yi does not intend to provoke them for the time being, so his current goal is to plant mud grass in the mud swamps in the north first.
To plant a large amount of mud grass, a group of fishmen need to be specially arranged to take care of it, so Yang Yi plans to establish a new base in the town of Ratchet in the Dustwallow Marsh.
Yang Yi has already had an idea about the location of this new base, and he has set his sights on the old nest of the dirty shell lobsterman - the Frenzy Bay.
The Frenzy Bay is located in the mud swamp in the north, and the mouth of the bay is southeast, just like the Ratchet Bay. The innermost bay of Frenzy Bay is almost in the center of the swamp. If a new base of Ratchet Town is built here, it will be very convenient to take care of the mud grass.
It is precisely because of the superior location that Yang Yi intends to drive away the dirty shell lobster people and take Frenzy Bay for himself.
"This lord intends to plant a large amount of mud grass in the Dustwallow Swamp and use it as a stable granary. I don't want to be disturbed by the lobster people. The Frenzy Bay in the Dustwallow Swamp is the old nest of the dirty shell lobster people. The bay is in a good location. This lord does not want them to stay there in the future." Yang Yi said.
"Does the mayor want to drive away the dirty shell lobster people and then take Frenzy Bay for himself?" Thief Eyes asked.
"Yes, this lord wants to build a new base of Ratchet Town in Frenzy Bay, a farm dedicated to taking care of mud grass." Yang Yi said.
"Mayor, if that's the case, let's do it without further delay. The Dirty Shell Lobster People have just been defeated and lost a lot of combat power, and the Dirty Shell Clan's matriarch has also died on the battlefield. Now is a great time to counterattack the Dirty Shell Lobster People's nest." Thief Eye said.
Yang Yi thought about it and it was true. Now is indeed a good opportunity to attack the Frenzy Bay and wipe out the Dirty Shell Lobster People's hometown. So he immediately decided: "Thief Eye is right. The matter of counterattacking the Dirty Shell Lobster People's nest will be handed over to you. You will take the fighting fishmen of Ratchet Town to Ratchet Bay immediately."
"Thief Eye thanks the mayor for his repeated trust. I will complete the task smoothly." Thief Eye promised.
Thief Eye was very moved that Yang Yi once again gave her full responsibility for the battle. As a member who had just joined Ratchet Town, she was completely surprised to receive such great trust.
Of course, Thief Eye just didn't know Yang Yi's character. Yang Yi wanted to divide the work and didn't want to work hard himself.
"By the way, the Dirt Shell Clan's matriarch left behind a pair of large prawn claws after her death, which are in the sea ahead. You go and salvage the prawn claws and take them to the Frenzy Bay, so that the lobsters of the Dirt Shell Clan know that their matriarch is dead." Yang Yi said.
"The mayor is wise!" Thief Eyes also thought this was a good idea.
Without further ado, Thief Eyes sent a few fishmen to the sea to retrieve the prawn claws after receiving Yang Yi's order, and then set off to the Frenzy Bay with the fighting fishmen of Ratchet Town.
After Thief Eyes left with the fishmen, Yang Yi asked about Brack's injuries.
Fortunately, Brack has a strong specialty, so even if he was knocked out by the matriarch of the Dirt Shell Clan, he was not seriously injured. After drinking the healing potion, he can walk on his own.
Knowing that Brack is not seriously injured, Yang Yi was relieved.
"Blackfin Clan Sage, tell me about planting mud grass." Yang Yi called the Blackfin Clan Sage who had been standing aside.
The Blackfin Clan Sage had been staring at the Thief Eyes since just now, and his bulging fish eyes were almost staring through.
Yang Yi knew that the Blackfin Clan Sage had had an affair with the Thief Eyes, but he didn't say it on the spot.
"Mayor, the planting of sludge grass is going very smoothly. The sludge grass seedlings sent by Thorntooth Town are growing very well in the Dustwallow Swamp." The Blackfin Clan Sage replied.
"Very good, you did a good job on this matter." Yang Yi said, "I heard that some fishmen were attacked by wild beasts in the swamp when they were planting sludge grass. How do you plan to deal with these wild beasts?"
"Mayor, the general threat of wild beasts is not that big. Let the fishmen enter the swamp in groups and basically deal with it. It's just that there is an ancient crocodile called the Death Swamp Crocodile living in the Dustwallow Swamp. It has a huge body, terrible strength and speed, and can easily bite a small group of fishmen to death." The Blackfin Clan Sage said.
"When you blackfin murlocs were collecting mud grass in Dustwallow Marsh, did you also encounter this giant crocodile of the Dead Swamp?" Yang Yi asked.
"Yes, this giant crocodile has killed more than a dozen blackfin murloc hunters who were collecting mud grass. Later, murloc hunters who entered Dustwallow Marsh could only stay away from its territory."
"But this giant crocodile's territory is very large, and it likes to hunt everywhere in Dustwallow Marsh. If you build a farm in Dustwallow Marsh, you must get rid of this giant crocodile first to ensure safety." The wise man of the Blackfin Clan said.
After listening to this, Yang Yi couldn't help but look at the wise man of the Blackfin Clan. Why did he feel that this murloc wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife and let Ratchet Town help the blackfin murlocs get rid of the threat of the giant crocodile of the Dead Swamp.
However, Yang Yi also knew that what the wise man of the Blackfin Clan said was right. If you want to build a farm in Dustwallow Marsh, you must first get rid of the giant crocodile.
"Well, go and gather some blackfin murlocs. I want to see if this giant crocodile is that powerful." Yang Yi said.
Occupying the Frenzy Bay is the business of Ratchet Town, so Yang Yi did not let the Blackfin Clan send murlocs to participate in the operation. Getting rid of the Dead Swamp crocodile is the common goal of Ratchet Town and the Blackfin Murlocs, so Yang Yi plans to let the Blackfin Murlocs help.
The Blackfin Clan Wise quickly gathered the Blackfin Murlocs who participated in the operation. There were a total of 30 murlocs, just a squadron.
Yang Yi used the Lord's Eye to scan around and found that half of them were murloc ambushers, and the rest were murloc beach walkers and murloc tide walkers.
These 30 combat professionals were gathered by the Blackfin Clan Wise with great difficulty. The others were either dead or injured. It can be seen that the Blackfin Murlocs suffered a lot in the previous battle.
"War is so cruel. Once it starts, it's a life-and-death struggle. If everyone is in harmony and each family's fields are divided, that would be great." Yang Yi suddenly sighed.
Afterwards, Yang Yi took Brak and thirty blackfin murlocs into the depths of Dustwallow Marsh.
Many murlocs of the Blackfin clan were thrown into the dangerous swamp for life and death elimination when they were still young murlocs. Only the young murlocs who survived in the end had the opportunity to receive training from the clan's murloc ambushers.
Therefore, these murloc ambushers were very familiar with the environment of Dustwallow Marsh. They took Yang Yi to walk through Dustwallow Marsh carefully.
This was also Yang Yi's first time to go deep into Dustwallow Marsh. The swamp was damp, muddy and sultry, with stagnant mud ponds, waterways with aquatic plants, and slippery muddy roads everywhere.
The paths through the swamp were muddy and dangerous. Those who accidentally stepped on the wrong foothold would be swallowed by the mud. There were also a large number of predators hiding under the water or lurking behind the bushes, staring at them.
Therefore, Dustwallow Marsh has become a nightmare for countless travelers.
Along the way, Yang Yi saw swamp beasts such as the Blood Swamp Raptor, Dark Fang Spider and Dust Mud Crocodile, but when these beasts saw a large group of fishmen appear, they all hid.
Yang Yi and his team kept moving south in the Dust Mud Swamp. After walking for a while, the fishman ambushers in front suddenly stopped and warned everyone that the territory of the Death Swamp Giant Crocodile was ahead.
Yang Yi signaled to continue moving forward, and the fishmen slowly moved towards the territory of the Death Swamp Giant Crocodile.
Half a day later, Yang Yi and his team withdrew from the territory of the Death Swamp Giant Crocodile and came to a swamp mud road.
Unfortunately, the Death Swamp Giant Crocodile was not in its own territory, and it was unknown where it went to hunt.
Yang Yi was not discouraged when he did not find the Death Swamp Giant Crocodile. He had heard the story of hunting from the Minotaur Bain. In order to complete the Minotaur hunting trial, Bain spent more than a month before successfully hunting the Kodo Beast Laktamani.
Therefore, Yang Yi knew that in order to successfully hunt a powerful beast, in addition to one's own strength, sometimes one also needed to have enough patience.
The fishmen rested on the mud road and took out food to replenish their energy.
At this time, several gunshots were heard in the distance.
The gunshots were intermittent, as if someone was practicing with a gun casually.
The musket is a common long-range weapon in the world of Azeroth. Due to the backward technology, the power of the musket is usually comparable to that of a crossbow.
Yang Yi looked in the direction where the gunshots came from, and saw a gray-purple wyvern running along the mud road in the distance. There was also a human sitting on the back of the wyvern, holding a musket in his hand, which was the source of the gunshots.
"Baoyu!"
Yang Yi shouted, and he recognized that the person on the back of the wyvern was Baoyu who had drawn a map for him.
This guy didn't know where he got the wyvern from, and the strange thing was that he didn't fly in the air when riding the wyvern, but let the wyvern crawl on the ground.
