The next day, Wei Wuji gathered everyone together with Mae and instructed them to help gather what he needed.

Mayer wrote down a list and then brought Wei Wuji to the island to help the residents prepare.

When Yao Yun heard these materials, she had already understood what Wuji was thinking. She was so happy that she nodded her head to express her approval.

Ashley asked him curiously, "How exactly does Wuji want to catch an octopus? You seem to know it already. Yes, I'm so nervous. All these years I've been running all over the world, I've seen all sorts of elephants and rhinoceroses, and even whales in the sea, but I've never seen a sea monster before! "

In fact, I'm not good at dealing with these kinds of things in the water, and the way we deal with these water beasts are different from dealing with ferocious beasts on the land. Our Yao family's skills are outstanding, and we also rely on our sharp tools, but our abilities are reduced by a lot in the water. You can't use even ten percent of your strength in the water, so dealing with the things in the water is still the same as dealing with the weird secret techniques of Ol 'Four. After all these years, I have never caught an octopus. I did catch a large squid with a special wolf tooth hook, but this method was useless against an octopus. You don't have to worry about Fourth Bro's abilities. A few years ago, the two of us were messing around in Africa, and we once heard that there was a sea ghost. At night, the fishermen went out with the boats to catch them. We were both curious, so we went to see what had happened. Later, we discovered that it was a group of rare and small squid. They were small, but they were fierce and would gather there every night in search of food. These small squid also had a special skill. They could jump out of the water with a jet of air and attack a passing water bird or a fleeing fish. The fisherman was bitten by a few squid that jumped out of the water and fell into the sea in a panic, being eaten by a large group of squid. I and Wuji didn't know much about this animal, and there were too many of them, so killing them one by one would be impossible. Later on, when Wuji discovered that this kind of squid ate each other, he caught some of it and spread it over their bodies at night. Those squid became addicted after eating the corpses of their companions, and they no longer cared about hunting other prey. "The secret techniques of the Wei family are mostly like this, thinking of ways you wouldn't dare to think of but they all have miraculous effects and rarely fail to do so. Although the people from the northern faction have always looked down on their southern faction, from my perspective, I do admire them a lot."

Ashley felt it was strange. She asked, "Since Fourth Brother's family's secret arts are so powerful, why do you people from the northern faction look down on him?"

Yao Yun laughed for a long time before telling her, "Have you never heard that your peers are enemies? Not every member of the Siege Battalion has a good personal relationship with each other like the two of us, so it's very normal for our comrades to separate factions from each other and look down on each other. And I think, humans always have a fear of the unknown. Although the Wei family's secret techniques are powerful, they always give off a mysterious and vicious impression. So, the people from the northern faction also have some common views towards them. I heard that when the besieging camps were established, there were a total of four factions, East, West, and North. In that case, the East, West, and West that were wiped out could have been wiped out and annexed together due to internal strife. However, there are not many records on this piece of history, so the details are not known. "

He took out his dagger and dug out a lot of large pieces of bark. Ashley asked him curiously, "There's a layer of middle bark on this kind of coconut tree, which can be used to make a light and tough material. I'm definitely going to use it to make a trap to catch octopus. Even though I'm a cripple right now, I can still do whatever I can to help."

Ashley grabbed his injured hand with a pained expression. He looked like he was about to cry.

Yao Mo hurriedly stopped her, "Don't, don't, I'm not dead yet. I'm not even worried for myself, what are you worrying about? "Don't worry, if I had lost my arm, I would have lost it in Burma. This time, the injury wasn't as serious as last time, so I'll use medicine to heal it. I'll use it when I get back to Beijing, then slowly think of a way to recover."

This was simply against science, beyond the understanding of ordinary people. Yao Li's arm was already seriously injured for the second time, if it was an ordinary person, even without a amputation, his arm would have already lost its function long ago, but he didn't have the time to recuperate. As he watched this broken limb slowly recover, he felt like an underground lizard in science fiction.

With regards to this matter, she really couldn't hold back her doubts and finally opened her mouth to ask Yao Ling for the reason.

Surprisingly, Yao Ling's mood suddenly turned extremely low. Ashley thought that he was unhappy with him asking about the secret techniques of the Siege Battalion, so he hurriedly said to him, "Third Brother, I'm not trying to find out your secrets, I'm really just curious. Just take it that I didn't ask, let's go back quickly, don't be tired."

Ever since I was seven years old, I've been getting beaten every day. At that time, my dad made a lot of sandbags that were as thin as a stick, and they were all sewn with burlap bags, filled with cinnabar medicine and green beans soaked in water. This thing is called cinnabar stick, it's called cinnabar stick.

Ashley listened and stuck his tongue out. "There's actually such a kung fu practitioner? "Oh my god, how did you manage to bear with it when you were young!"

Yao Ling bitterly smiled and said, "This is nothing. The most uncomfortable thing is that the cinnabar stick is poisonous. Every day after hitting it, you still use water to soak in it at night, dispersing the poison from your body." However, after that potion was washed, his body would be extremely itchy, and he would need to beat up the dog that he had just killed. But then the conditions were limited, not always able to buy a dog, so often not able to use the dog skin to ease the itch, often itching me to live ah, at night I fell asleep uncontrollably, scratching my body all rotten, in the end I couldn't only tie up and go to sleep. Actually, for me, it's fine after getting used to it, but my mom was the one who was the most upset. Because I couldn't take these kinds of things, I thought my dad went crazy and ended up getting a divorce from him. "

"Good heavens, is your mother still well?"

"I'm lying to you, stupid. You can believe anything I say, but go back quickly and check on the preparations for Ol 'Four." Yao Ling forced out a smile as she reached out to grab Ashley's shoulder, limping along with her to the dock.

Wei Wuji and the others were directing the fishermen on the island to collect a large number of shells and shells. They picked out those that looked pretty. After smashing them, they glued the pieces layer by layer onto the inside and outside of a large vat.

Ashley saw this and seemed to understand something. "Are you going to use this vat to catch octopus? To lure it in? "

Yao Ling hung her head on her shoulder and said, "There are some small octopus that like to use these things as nests or camouflages, while those giant octopus have an inexplicable curiosity about their own vessels. When they encounter boxes and jars that occasionally sink into the sea, they always try to find ways to enter them. Furthermore, they would feel an inexplicable sense of security inside. The more they sensed danger, the more they would hide inside, so some fishermen would make use of the octopus's habit to catch them. "However, this method is not used by the general director. Some species of octopus are very smart, and would immediately escape if discovered otherwise. Therefore, if we want to use the large vat to capture this octopus, we need something else."

When that huge vat was covered with shells, Wei Wuji got someone to set up a huge iron pot. He added a lot of things into it and began to cook. A strange smell filled the people beside him with tears.

"Originally, if we had a bundle of dragon cords, we could trap the octopus in the tank, but we don't have enough cords left, so Ol 'Four wants to boil some more substitutes and then use the tree paper I made to wrap these glue inside the tank. When the octopus goes in and breaks the tree paper, it will get stuck by the glue inside."

They stripped off the inner and outer layers of the bark, leaving the middle layer behind. Then, they used a knife to scrape off the white liquid on the bark, and after boiling, washing, and filtering, they cooked a white paper out of the pot like Guangdong Rice Noodle Roll. They waited until the water was completely dried out to form a white sausage coat. Then, they added the bone glue that had been boiled out of the pot with a bit of the Dragon Binding Rope before pouring it into a tree paper bag and fixing it around the cylinder wall.

After all of this was done, they helped Wei Wuji bring the huge vat to the lagoon and sent it into the cave by himself. The remaining work was to check whether the octopus was trapped or not a few times a day.

At the same time, Chen and Mae had been trying to persuade the old witch to guide them, but every time the blind old woman shook her black donkey hoof and said it was a dangerous trip, she would rather die than go with them.

Chen asked Mae, who told him, "There is an evil god in India named Arroyo Mi. She is ugly and rides a black donkey, and anyone who meets her will be unlucky, or even lose their life, so some people are used to using the black donkey's hooves for divination."

Chen Ansheng heard it as fresh as he'd never heard of such a thing in his life in India. However, since he had a request, he could not use force. This made him scold the ancestors of the eight generations of the old shaman in his heart.

Before she could say anything, someone suddenly ran over to inform her that Wei Wuji had successfully used that huge vat to catch the octopus that had killed Mae's grandson.

Hearing this news, Mae rushed towards the lagoon like a madman. Chen Sha Ming had hurt his lungs in the Rat Temple, so he didn't dare to run too fast. He could only slowly chase after her. When he was about halfway to the village, he met a large group of islanders carrying a vat, singing and jumping into the village.

Maya walked at the front of the group, holding a black shroud in her arms as she wailed in tears. From time to time, she would shout out a few words in response to her companions who were shouting slogans.

Wei Wuji was walking behind him with his whole body drenched. A dozen young men were escorting him, like a hero who had just returned from a victory in the battlefield.
