Chapter 1440 Unexpected Situation

Traps are the simplest and most practical tools that human ancestors have developed through continuous accumulation of experience and practice over the long years.

The early traps were specially used for hunting wild beasts. Gradually, they were extended to various environments, such as battlefields, tombs, and now.

"So, the pit-digging competition I asked you to participate in before was actually a preparation for setting up traps."

I explained as I wove branches into a web.

"Where are those fish bones and crab shells?" Cagalli rolled her eyes at me and asked.

"Obviously, fish bones have sharp points that can pierce skin, and crab shells also have sharp points that can cut leather armor."

"Are you going to use this thing as a weapon to fight the rebels?" Lillea fiddled with a fish bone and a crab claw. She frowned, suddenly reached out and pricked my arm with the tip of the fish bone.

"Hey, what are you doing?" At this moment, I was immersed in the process of making a net with branches, and I was too lazy to look back at her little movements.

Lilea took back the fishbone and looked at the sun: "It's broken, Xiaoyi, your skin is so thick."

"Is it because of my thick skin?" I muttered: "It will break even if I prick you. This fish bone is too small and cannot shake our skin that has been trained for a long time."

"Eh? Really?" On the side, Yura also picked up a fish bone that was four or five times larger than Lillea's, and aimed it at my arm.

"Hey, it's broken too." Yura curled his lips and said angrily: "Xiao Yi, you are so thick-skinned."

I had a salty look on my face and said nonchalantly, "I have a thick skin. I'm really sorry."

"You really don't expect these things to fight to the death with the incoming rebels, do you?" Cagalli looked at the two broken fish bones and couldn't help but frowned: "In that case, I think it would be better to use Nasesha. They are more reliable, at least they can confuse the eyes."

"No, no, no," Susan suggested, "How about we wrap the fine sand in cloth, climb up the tree, and throw it down at them. In that case, we might knock a few out."

"Yes, it's best to add some fish bones and crab claws into it. Maybe it can really cut the skin of a few rebels!" Lilea picked up another fish bone and stabbed it at me.

"Hey, should we stop this topic?" I heard a soft click, looked back at the fish bone as thick as my little finger that was unfortunately broken due to the force of piercing my skin, and muttered: "You should stop here too, don't do it. He keeps pricking me with fish bones, it’s really itchy.”

"Now" I cleared my throat and said: "Actually, I don't plan to use fish bones and crab claws to fight them directly, but I plan to use another characteristic of fish bones and crab claws. Since this characteristic involves the biological field, even if You may not understand it well, so I won’t explain it to you now. After completing the trap, you will naturally understand some of its principles.”

My words caused a tut-tutting sound from everyone around me, and everyone felt ashamed of my pretense of being incomprehensible.

I don't care about their shameless expressions - I'm used to it. After all, from time to time they will show shameless expressions towards me, the honorary president. As the saying goes, if there are too many lice, it won't itch. Once you get used to it, it will become natural.

After setting up the trap, I stood proudly five meters away from the trap, ready to explain the principle of the trap to everyone, but I was once again despised and shamed by everyone.

"Isn't it just relying on the unpleasant smell produced by fermentation to make opponents who fall into the pit worse than death?" Cagalli was the first to say disdainfully: "I still understand this thing."

"Exactly, isn't it just the most basic scientific knowledge?" Lilea said with the same disdain: "I learned it in the first lesson when I received training."

"I learned it by reading a book when I was six years old," Yura chuckled.

Everyone discussed it for a while.

Only then did I understand that the little bit of biochemistry knowledge I had learned on the blue planet was basically equivalent to elementary textbook level knowledge here.

Damn it, doesn’t it mean that the knowledge possessed by the time traveler is not available in this world?

Why doesn't this setting work for me?

You give me back my sense of superiority!

The trap was successfully created, but this does not mean that it will definitely be effective. In order to test its success rate, I put myself into the trap several times and finally guaranteed the probability of its success.

After that, we used the branches and trunks we found to circle all the trap locations, and then contacted the Rose Legion elites hiding in the jungle to inform them of the specific situation.

The elite captain said that they will definitely cooperate with my strategy and tactics and drive all the rebels into the trap as much as possible.

Two days later, the Fairy Queen finally called me. She said to me in a serious tone: "The rebels may land on the island at night. This time they sent no less than forty small boats, more than four hundred of them." People, and well-equipped equipment, this should be the strongest combat force currently possessed by the rebels, so you must be mentally prepared."

"What?" I was horrified: "More than 400 people! The ambush troops sent here by your old man seem to be no more than 100. If there are more than 400 people in the area, can I consider escaping?"

"Yes," the Fairy Queen said, "However, you must prepare your own escape tools."

"Hey, don't be so ruthless, okay?" I said distressedly, "My team is not only composed of my people, but also your granddaughter!"

"As I said before, I can't bear to let go of my children to trap the wolf. In order to wipe out all the main forces of the rebels at once, I can only do this."

Her tone was full of tragedy.

"Huh? I said, are you serious? Did you plan to treat us as abandoned children and abandon us on this island from the beginning?" My eyes trembled slightly and I collapsed.

"I didn't treat you as abandoned children, just as bait," the Fairy Queen said, "I have made preparations to send a reinforcement force of 600 people to reinforce you one hour after they set off. However, The boats that the reinforcements are traveling on are the same kind as those of the rebel troops, which means you need to hold on to the island for an hour until the reinforcements arrive."

"An hour!" I took a breath and said, "Grandma Queen, are you kidding me? More than 100 people are beating more than 400 people, and they have to resist for more than an hour. Are you talking in your sleep?"

"If the environment you are in is a plain, I would not dare to say anything like this, but don't forget that most of the island is covered by jungle, and you have lived on the island for a while, so you should Now that you have a good understanding of the island, you should be able to make use of the surrounding environment and deal with the rebels for an hour."

"How can this be"

"It's useless to say anything now." The Fairy Queen sighed and said, "I'm sorry, children, for making you suffer. I hope you won't bear the painful memories because of my selfishness."
