Chapter 578: Hunting Spirit Beasts
Heroes are embarrassed, Yang Wen has always been concerned about Li Xuanning's county lord, but the two have a huge disparity in identity, although things have been going on for a while, but as time goes by, Yang Wen has become more and more irritable, he knows that every day passes, there is one less day from Li Xuanning's marriage, how much he hopes to accompany the county lord more.

The county lord has lived in the palace for a long time, and there are capable generals to follow and protect him when he goes in and out, and Yang Wen always has endless tasks to go out, and it is difficult to see the county lord again.
This time, the crown prince didn't know when and where he received a secret report about Yang Wen's admiration for the county lord, so he used this task of capturing the spirit beast to transfer him out of the Gyeonggi important land again, and the task of leading the peace envoy was also handed over to others.
Yang Wen, who was outside, also knew that it was useless to be anxious, after all, this was the emperor's order, and the emperor's order was like a mountain, but he was still really concerned about the county lord, although he was thousands of miles away, but he didn't want to return to the court immediately, which was also one of the reasons why he wanted Li Tianqi to help.
Obviously, the prince ordered him to come here as a pioneer officer, and the delay in the arrival of the people who were good at Taoism also explained the prince's intentions.
Late at night, the two of them slept in clothes and fell asleep, Yang Wen had already fallen asleep due to excessive thoughts and deliberately drunk, Li Tianqi only slept for a while and woke up, and he was no longer sleepy, and the scene when he first saw the county lord came to his mind......
"Ho-" The beast roared like thunder, resounding through the sky.
Yang Wen suddenly opened his eyes and turned over, and Li Tianqi was also standing by the bed at this time.
"Report-" A soldier rushed over, knelt in front of the Chinese military tent and reported: "General, the spirit beast has appeared!" ā
Yang Wendao: "Blow the trumpet to gather people, prepare and go!" ā
"Yes!"
Yang Wen quickly put on his armor, then poured a sip of tea on his neck, put on his helmet and said to Li Tianqi: "Apocalypse, let's go!" He took his spear from the armory rack.
"Good!" Li Tianqi followed him to the outside of the tent.
Outside the tent, three hundred soldiers were rapidly arranging their formations, while the archers on the towers were bent and skilfully looking around. It seems that the legend of the dragon drum spirit beast has made their blood boil.
"Ho-" Another heavy and powerful roar came, and a huge black shadow rose into the sky, but because the stars and moon were not shining tonight, everyone in the camp could not see its figure at all.
......Dozens of arrows rose into the sky with firelight, illuminating the air, and I saw a behemoth faintly separated by a rain of arrows, which was really as Yang Wen had described before.
"Look, it's it!"
"Wow! Boy! ā
"You guys have to be careful!"
The sergeants could see that although they had experienced a hundred battles, some of them were still apprehensive when they saw such a troll.
The dragon drum suddenly appeared in the dark night, but it was actually to devour a dragon eagle that quietly passed over the land. The eagle was like a frightened bird, so frightened that it almost fell to the ground.
But seeing that the peng eagle immediately flapped its wings and flew high, intending to get rid of the spirit beast that was chasing.
Peng Diao is already huge, and it is a thing that has been trained by the long wind, although he was a little panicked when he suddenly saw a behemoth bigger than himself, but it was only a moment before he regained his senses. It went up and down, up and down, east and west, chasing and circling with the spirit beast above the camp.
Yang Wen waved his hand and shouted at the soldiers standing on the left flank of the team: "Crossbowmen! Hurry up and ask for the Shenwu Flying Arrow! ā
"Order!" Jun Cao, the leader of the team, responded loudly and hurriedly led sixty people into the equipment hangar.
Yang Wen shouted to more than 300 people: "Sun Qian, Zhao Li, four military Cao!" ā
"In!" The four shouted in unison, like a bell, extremely loud!
"Equip your team to prepare rope nets, lassoes, and each lead two hounds, according to the order of our roll call, divided into southeast, northwest and northwest, if the Shenwu flying arrow hits the spirit beast and it escapes, then see the direction and quickly go out of the camp to pursue, and the other teams will immediately follow up, there must be no mistake! Don't forget to catch it alive! ā
"Order!"
There were more than 300 people left, and there were only more than 30 soldiers with almost the same body left, and it seemed that these were the elites who followed Yang Wen.
Yang Wen continued to say to them: "If you follow my maneuver, you will keep an eye on that spirit beast for me!" ā
"Order!"
At this time, the three Shenwu Flying Arrows had been carried out of the equipment warehouse by the crossbowmen.
I saw that this Shenwu flying arrow is like a large crossbow arrow, almost all made of pure iron, the crossbow arms on both sides are about one zhang wide, the bowstring is a mixed ox tendon, and this Shenwu flying arrow is also equipped with rollers to move.
This Shenwu flying arrow weighed more than a thousand catties, which was extremely heavy, and the rut marks left by this rolling road were quite deep.
And the twelve strong soldiers each held a few crossbow arrows two feet long and shiny black with both hands, and followed closely beside the Shenwu flying arrows, they were wearing shoulders, and the green tendons on their exposed shoulders were violent, and you didn't need to think about it to know that these specially made crossbow arrows were not light.
Sixty crossbowmen were divided into three teams, each with twenty men in charge of a Shenwu Flying Arrow. They soon dispersed in the center of the camp, they were all well-trained crossbowmen, and soon they had already loaded the bowstrings, machine springs, crossbow arrows coated with black dog blood, and buckled the ropes attached to the Shenwu flying arrows a hundred zhang long, aiming at the dragon drum that was still chasing the eagle in the sky.
"Remember, don't hurt their lives!" Yang Wen reminded.
"Yes, General!"
"Boom" a few times, but seeing that the night sky was illuminated by several bursts of flames,
Peng Eagle, relative to the dragon drum, is still quite small, easier to turn around, and although the dragon drum is a spirit beast, but to devour this Peng Eagle in the air is also quite difficult, it has been many times the opponent deftly dodged, the dragon drum has obviously been impatient to chase, had to spew out fireballs.
In this way, the situation of the peng eagle was even more dangerous, either it was almost grilled by the fire, or it was almost caught by the claws of the dragon drum.
"Whoosh-" A black crossbow bolt flew into the night sky, "Smack! A sound broke through a piece of the skin of the dragon drum's claws, and the dragon drum was in pain, flapping its wings and slapping down the crossbow arrows that were still rushing upward, and a cloud of dragon saliva immediately spit out to the camp below.
The ambergris flew down a few feet and suddenly burst into flames, forming a huge ball of fire.
The team of people who had just fired the crossbow arrows saw the fire ball smashing downward, and before they could move the Shenwu flying arrows, they scattered and fled, "Bang! The fire smashed down on the Shenwu flying arrow, and immediately exploded and spread, with a light of more than ten zhang, and the fire rose to the sky, snorting and burning, if it weren't for these people to retreat in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Shenwu Flying Arrow bowstring was burned in an instant, and the wooden crossbow arm also crackled and burned, and the entire iron Shenwu Flying Arrow was gradually roasted red by the flames.
When the Peng Eagle was distracted by the dragon drum, he flapped his wings and rushed to the clouds to get rid of its entanglement, but he didn't expect that the spirit beast had already expected its movements, and as soon as Fang spit out the ambergris fire ball downward, Peng Diao flew into the sky one step earlier, and grabbed it again.
The Peng Eagle obviously didn't realize that the dragon drum actually had such a sensitive reflex, and it was too late to turn back down, so it had to turn over and raise its claws to collide with the golden hook of the dragon drum.
The claws of the dragon drum were like curved hooks, and they took advantage of the situation to pierce the claws of the peng eagle and hook it tightly.
Two more crossbow arrows flew in, and the dragon drum flapped its wings and moved left and right to dodge, and at this time it had caught the eagle, and it was about to fly forward with pride.
Seeing this, Yang Wen was in a hurry, jumped to one of the Shenwu flying arrows and said, "I'm coming!" With that, he grabbed the bowstring with both hands, which could only be pulled by the combined efforts of six people, and he was only one of them buckled on the spring.
At this time, Li Tianqi followed beside him, and he also received a two-zhang long crossbow arrow with both hands, which was indeed made of pig iron and weighed dozens of catties.
"Yang Wen, it's up to you!" Just when Yang Wen was full of bowstrings, Li Tianqi had already loaded the crossbow arrows.
"Good!" Yang Wen shouted, the tiger body squatted, and actually moved the Shenwu flying arrow, aiming at the direction where the spirit beast was about to fly away.
"Whoosh-" The bolt quickly pursued the dragon drum......
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, the crossbow arrow penetrated the captured Peng Eagle, saying that it was too late and that was fast, Yang Wen grabbed the rope connected to the crossbow arrow, and shouted: "All the troops help!" ā
The soldiers on the side jumped forward and grabbed the rope.
Everyone worked hard together, and actually dragged the peng eagle out of the claws of the dragon drum and fell down into the camp.
The dragon drum had already caught its prey, how could it have thought that it would be taken away like this, it flapped its wings, turned its direction and pounced downward, this time it was not only for the prey, but also to avenge the wound by the arrow.
Yang Wen was waiting for this, the distance was far away, he was worried that he would kill the spirit beast by mistake, so he bet on the Peng Eagle, after all, such a violent dragon drum would not easily let the prey fall from its claws, and sure enough, the bet was won.
"Come here, everyone, get ready to move the arrows!" At this time, Yang Wen had already jumped back to the flying arrow, pulled his bow and stringed, and aimed at the dragon drum again.
The dragon drum whirred into the wind, and the strong wind rushed down, and it opened its huge mouth and spat out two flames, each spraying at the remaining two Shenwu flying arrows.
Yang Wen had already prepared, and at this time, everyone worked together and quickly moved the two Shenwu flying arrows away.
The archers on the arrow tower had also bent their bows and arrows at this time, shooting at the spirit beast in a volley, but those ordinary feathered arrows were all blown off by the strong wind before they could reach the spirit beast's body, and they were ineffective at all.
The spirit beast roared angrily, so close that it was enough to deafen and the ears of everyone buzzed, and the hound rolled to the ground in fright.
Yang Wen clasped his hands, and another crossbow arrow flew out, "Huh-" It penetrated one of the golden hook claws of the dragon drum, and the spirit beast was in pain again, so it flapped its wings and flew high, rushing into the sky with a rope, and at this time it found that the crossbow arrow was carrying a rope and opened its mouth to be a ball of fire.
However, the fire actually burned the rope that was not too thick, and the rope had reached the end, and the arrow was about to fly when it was dragged to the end.
Seeing this, Yang Wen, Li Tianqi and others immediately jumped forward and held it down......
The sound of dragon drums chirping in the air was heard.
