Creating a Different World - Chapter 2211
[Chapter 2211 Sounding the Alarm Bell]
“Lü Liang” impulsively joined the Rebel Pavilion and accepted the task of catching blue crabs. Before setting off, everyone had already put him on the death list.
Whether it was Song Yi from the Rebel Pavilion or other staff members, or other rebels and gatekeepers, they were used to seeing such people who overestimated their own abilities and sought death, and they could not be blamed for being cold-blooded, as if they didn’t care. After all, they had persuaded everyone,
and everyone had their own choices. So when Jia Zhengjin, who had transformed into “Lü Liang”, returned to the city gate, the gatekeepers thought he had backed down.
“Why, have you figured it out?” One of them laughed, “It’s impossible for one person to catch blue crabs. Hurry back to the city and change to a simpler task!”
“That’s right, you’re still young, there’s no need to die!”
“Go into the city quickly! It’s okay to catch lions or rhinos, it’s not shameful.”
The two gatekeepers kindly advised.
“What are you embarrassing?” Jia Zhengjin walked directly in front of them, “Ring this bell and summon the army in the city. Prepare the car as soon as possible. The blue crab has been killed. Hurry and pull it back to prevent it from being eaten by other beasts.”
“Huh?” Hearing this, the two gatekeepers looked at each other.
“Lü Liang, it’s not shameful to fail to complete the mission. We won’t laugh at you. Originally, you received this super mission that requires the army to assemble to execute, and even the army may not succeed. There is no need to brag for the sake of face.” The soldier on the left said, “Don’t you think that bragging too much is more embarrassing than failing the mission?”
“That’s right! It’s just a common problem for novices. You don’t have to brag because you feel embarrassed. Go back to the city and change the mission! Don’t ring this warning bell randomly. You can brag, but if you really call the army here for no reason, you will go to jail!” The
two gatekeepers kindly advised. If it were those cold-blooded people, who would care so much about you?
“Help me ring the alarm bell!” Jia Zhengjin said, “I have successfully killed the blue crab and completed the mission.”
The two gatekeepers looked at each other again, thinking whether he had blown too much and could not come back, so he risked it?
“Lü Liang, this is not a joke!”
“If the army comes and finds out that you are lying, the consequences will be really serious!”
“Yes! There is no need to ruin yourself for a moment of face.”
The two soldiers said earnestly.
“Thank you for your concern, ring the alarm bell!” Jia Zhengjin said.
“Are you sure? There is no way to save it if you ring it! If you can’t see the body of the blue crab, you will be in big trouble!”
“Don’t worry! Ring the alarm bell quickly.”
The two gatekeepers did not believe that he had the ability to kill the blue crab, but seeing that he insisted, they thought that they had tried their best to persuade him, and since he had made up his mind, there was nothing they could do.
“Ding ding ding” the alarm bell was rung, and the sound quickly spread throughout the entire Shixin City.
Everyone in the city put down their work and watched a large number of soldiers appear on the streets and run neatly towards the city gate.
The alarm bell usually rings when something big happens, and it is a big thing that can affect Shixin City.
Ringing the bell randomly is a crime, and the punishment is quite severe, so generally no one dares to do it.
Just as everyone was speculating on what happened, the army arrived at the city gate, and the general Liu Tan of Shixin City, who led the army, asked loudly: “What’s going on? Why are you ringing the alarm bell?!”
After all, the city gate was not closed urgently, indicating that there was no danger of the giant beast attacking the city.
Facing General Liu Tan, who was second only to the city lord and ranked second to the one in Shixin City and above ten thousand people, the two gatekeepers did not dare to neglect it, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: “Report to the general! It was Lu Liang who just joined the rebel army. He said that he had completed the task of catching and killing blue crabs, so he rang the alarm bell.”
Hearing this, Liu Tan’s first reaction was that the kid named Lu Liang was bragging, and turned to him and said: “Are you Lu Liang?”
“Yes, general!” Jia Zhengjin nodded.
“Do you know that ringing the alarm bell is a serious crime!” Liu Tan asked in a deep voice.
“General, I know it very well!” Jia Zhengjin replied, “So I dare not lie about the military situation. The blue crab has been successfully killed, and the body is still by the reservoir. The army must be sent to pull it back as soon as possible, otherwise it may be discovered by other giant beasts.”
“If you go to the reservoir and don’t see the body of the blue crab, or there is no evidence that you fought with the blue crab and killed it, you will be in jail!” Liu Tan reminded.
“General, please send troops to accompany me immediately!” Jia Zhengjin responded.
Seeing that he was firm and didn’t seem to be lying, Liu Tan also had a trace of hesitation in his heart. Could it be true?
Anyway, whether it is true or not, he has to go and take a look.
If it is true, the Shixincheng Reservoir has solved the biggest danger, which is definitely a good thing! If it is false, this kid will suffer anyway.
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered: “Prepare the vehicle immediately, follow me out of the city!”
The vehicle used by the Shixincheng army to pull the prey is a specially made giant wooden cart, pulled by a domesticated giant lizard.
Jia Zhengjin took the lead, and Liu Tan led the army and vehicles to quickly leave the city and rush to the vicinity of the reservoir.
When Liu Tan arrived in front of the crab’s corpse, he was stunned. The soldiers behind him were also dumbfounded and speechless.
“It’s really a crab.” The huge crab corpse in front of him made Liu Tan tremble with excitement. “Could it be another one?”
“This is the only giant crab in the reservoir!” Jia Zhengjin replied.
Liu Tan went forward to take a closer look: “There is an obvious scar on the abdomen. It is indeed the one that was stabbed in the previous battle with the army! But… Its body is not complete. Most of it has disappeared. And why are there so many holes on the body?”
“Report to the general,” Jia Zhengjin certainly would not say that most of the blue crab bodies were collected by himself. His eyes rolled, “In fact, I don’t have the ability to kill the blue crab by myself, so I used some strategies.”
“Strategy? What strategy?” Liu Tan asked hurriedly, “We have tried various ways, but we couldn’t kill it!”
“It’s very simple,” Jia Zhengjin said, “It’s unlikely that we can fight such a terrible blue crab with our personal strength, or even the strength of the army. But think differently, aren’t there all kinds of creatures in the world that are more terrifying than blue crabs? It happened that I found a giant sparrow around, so I tried to lead the blue crab out of the water to let the giant sparrow notice it. Luckily, the sparrow really attacked the blue crab and successfully pecked it to death. Most of the crab shells and crab meat were eaten by the sparrows, but fortunately there was still a part left.”
“In other words, the big holes on the crab shells were pecked out by the sparrows?” Liu Tan’s eyes lit up, this made sense.
“Yes, general, we’d better pull the blue crab bodies back as soon as possible, otherwise it will be dangerous if other giant beasts appear!” Jia Zhengjin said on the side.
“That’s right!” Liu Tan gave him a meaningful look and waved his hand, “Everyone, load the blue crab carcasses onto the truck immediately, quick!”
