Chapter 646

"We have to make a detour. The trolls built a dam on the river!" Rago gasped.

Before, because the message from the stone ghost in the air was not clear, the thief had to go ashore in advance to explore the road ahead. But he didn't expect that he would see a shocking scene, so he hurried back to report the news.

"The trolls built a dam?!" At the first hearing of the news, everyone thought that something was wrong with their ears. It was only by seeing the indescribable wry smile on the thief's face that he realized that he was not joking.

At this time, it's nearly two days since people rescued elistin from the troll village. This is a rare leisure time for all of us, but now it seems that they have run out of luck.

At the beginning, the stream under the raft gradually converged with other streams to the north, which has become a big river. According to Martha's judgment, although the river is not winding, it is also very close to the main waterway.

At present, the river is more than 30 meters wide and more than 10 meters deep. However, the current has become more gentle, but not as fast as the previous stream. People thought that they could go all the way into the meandering river to get rid of the threat of trolls. Unexpectedly, they were stopped by a dam at the last moment.

It is absolutely not a small measure to build a dam on a river course with a width of more than 30 meters and a depth of more than 10 meters. Although everyone knows that trolls are not beasts, but also a kind of intelligent race, they never thought that the race still in the primitive tribal form would build dams, which completely subverted the image of trolls in people's minds.

"Let's go and have a look!" Qin Lun patted Lago on the shoulder and motioned for him to take him.

"I'll go too!" Martasha frowned and followed them.

As soon as she stood up, elistin came up against defeat, which made Qin Lun have a headache. Since the discovery of the highland elves following Qin Lun, elisting has a sense of insecurity. As the injury gets better, he often unconsciously competes with Martha.

However, as an Elf Druid, elistin also has the experience of living in the wild, which will not be a burden for several people, so she has to go with her.

After about 30 minutes in the bushes on both sides of the river, the four men came to a high slope on the bank. From here, you can see the river scene more than ten kilometers away.

"What a dam!" Looking at the dam which is more than 30 meters wide and more than 10 meters high in the distance, Qin Lun and others also realized the previous shock of the robbers.

"How could trolls build dams?" Martha murmured to himself incredulously.

Qin Lun's eyes twinkled and he was lost in thought. He had fed back what he saw to the team channel so that hill and Rand could also see it.

The stone and wood structure of the dam is more than three meters thick. The main body of the dam is square rock. It is covered with two layers of neatly arranged wooden piles, just like a wall with wooden skin and stone core.

At the water line of the dam, some stakes have been soaked and rotted by the river. However, some stakes can also see green branches and leaves on them. Obviously, trolls often repair the dam.

In addition to the shock brought by the dam itself, another scene that the robbers had not observed before surprised the four Qinlun people, and also understood why the trolls built such a dam.

In the upper part of the dam, trolls built a row of fence fences similar to the women's wall by relying on the solid platform built by the boulders below. On the fences were made of fur from Warcraft.

After a careful observation on the river, the four Qin Lun people immediately found that the dam was not worthy of the name, because the downstream river arrived here, and there were many small vortices at the water line of the dam body. It can be seen that the water flow was not completely blocked, but could still leak through.

"I've learned that the dam built by troll is not very neat. The water can flow through the gap between the boulder and the stake below." Qin Lun hammered the palm with his fist and said with a smile, "look at those fur ropes that extend all the way to the underwater. I think there should be something like a fishing net or a fishing basket under the water."

"You mean the trolls built this dam to get fish!"

The remaining three were thoughtful. Before they saw the dam, Qin Lun's words would be taken as a joke. But after seeing the dam, they no longer regard trolls as the low intelligent race with stupidity.

"The river can pass, our raft can't!" Lago smiled bitterly and shook his head. "We're going to make a detour. Let's go back and prepare!"

"No, wait!" Qin Lun reached for the thief and shook his head seriously. "We can't go back like this, we have to go to the front to continue to investigate."

The only frown Lago could understand, "you're worried about the size of this Troll village?"

"Ferrar's fears make sense!" Martha nodded slowly. "According to our past experience, most of the troll tribes have a population of only dozens to two hundred. Because trolls eat a lot and there are too many people in the village, it will affect the surrounding ecological environment, resulting in the inability to maintain their survival and reproduction.But here is already the deep part of the troll claw mountain range. People outside know little about it. We don't know how big the troll tribe can be maintained in the ecological environment here. If the scale of this village is beyond our common sense, then its floor area may be very large. It's better to check it in advance, so as not to fall into a siege accidentally. "

Qin Lun and Martha were right. When the four men walked out a few kilometers, they finally saw the typical wooden stake fence wall of the troll tribe.

However, unlike the troll village they saw outside the troll's claws, this fence wall is not only tall and strong, but also almost invisible, just a few kilometers long.

Through a few gate holes in the fence wall, they even observed that there were other shorter fence walls in the depth of the interior, which covered the internal buildings of the village tightly and made people unable to see the specific situation.

"I think we should go up and have a look!" Martha pointed to a low hill to the right of the fence.

This low mountain looks higher than the gentle hillside Qin Lun and others passed along. The top of the mountain has exposed rugged and ferocious rocks, forming a steep mountain wall.

"You wait here, I'll fly up and have a look!" Elisting is eager to try. After nearly two days of rest, her injury has greatly improved and she can become a giant eagle again.

"No, let's climb up. There may be a rooster's nest on the low mountain. It's too dangerous for you to fly up like this." Qinlun reaches out to stop elisting.

Because of the unexpected situation, the four seemed to be very cautious. When climbing the mountain, try to choose the shade side to avoid the action being accidentally seen by the troll at the foot of the mountain.

Climbing to a cliff platform near the top of the mountain, they finally saw the whole picture of the troll tribe at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly the faces of the four people became extremely ugly.

In front of them, the troll tribe spans both sides of the river in an oval shape, with a span of nearly tens of kilometers from east to west and more than ten kilometers from north to south. There are many kinds of buildings in the interior, not limited to a kind of stilted house. They even saw a huge stone altar with a circumference of hundreds of meters.

There are hundreds of young trolls scattered in the central open space, chasing and playing. 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, there is a giant jackal similar to a wolf dog. These canine animals with sharp tusks seem to be the hunting helpers raised by trolls. They can be seen in Zhaimen and the core area of the town.

"I've heard from other harpists before that some trolls raise three eyed jackals as hunting companions, but it's true." "There are at least thousands of trolls in this town," mused martasha. "Once they find out, with the tracking ability of three eyed jackals, we can't escape far."

"Then go around a little bit, around this Troll town. I don't believe the canyon is so big that we can't find a gap to slip through." Lago scratched his head and said optimistically.

"Well, you see, what is that?" All of a sudden, illistine sniffed his delicate little nose and looked up at the top of the mountain.

They followed her fingers and saw a wisp of white smoke rising from the top of the mountain not far above them, gathering in the air.

"There are people on it!" All of us are excited. This smog is obviously not owned by nature, but produced by man.

"Lago, go up and have a look!" Qin Lun raised his chin to the robber. Before he knew the situation, he had to rely on Lago's stealth ability. Now is not the time to be brave.

"There are three Troll sentinels on it. They are barbecue!" In a moment, Lago brought back a message that made four people sweat.

Even though they have realized that these trolls have great wisdom, some of them are still careless. If it wasn't for the troll sentinels to be lazy, if it wasn't for the time when they were eating, I'm afraid the actions of several people would have been discovered.

However, the existence of these three Troll sentinels also made Lago's proposal come to an end. The forest of the troll's claw mountain is not dense. From the top of the mountain, the scenery below is clear.

The troll town in front of us covers a huge area. If the team really makes a detour from the bottom of the mountain, it will take at least two or three hours to make a real detour. For such a long time, no matter how lazy these Troll sentinels are, I'm afraid they will also observe the behavior of the team, and then there will be more fun.
