Chapter 43 The road is slippery after dark

"Mayor, why aren't the hyenas moving?" Mandason asked suspiciously, just after the spot of light that flashed out of nowhere broke into the hyena pack, the eyes of these people who were slowly approaching the town were all fixed in place. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"This is the first time I've seen this pack of hyenas, do you guess I know it or not?" Snow rolled his eyes and asked.

Mandason was bored and didn't dare to ask again. Just wait, you can only improvise.

After about two or three minutes, the hyenas began to move, and everyone's hearts were lifted again.

"They're in line?" Mandason looked at the trajectory of the movement of those eyes, frowned and said, "Be vigilant, the hyenas should be attacking." ”

The archers bent their bows and arrows in front of them, and when the hyenas approached, they fired a ten-arrow barrage.

"It's coming!" Snow whispered, and before he could finish speaking, he saw the hyenas start to rush towards the town from slow to fast. However, the hyenas' route is exactly one of the big traps.

All the inhabitants were armed with weapons in their hands, holding their breath and preparing for battle. As the hyenas approached quickly, they could already dimly see the black figures running one by one. But what happened next surprised all the residents. The menacing hyenas were stepping on the trap. Because of their extreme speed, the hyena at the front even rushed several meters on the trap before it fell into the air.

Contrary to Mandason's expectations, the hyenas in the rear did not stop after discovering the trap. Maybe it's really like Snow said before, it's dark and the road is slippery, maybe it's because of too fast inertia. In short, the rear of the two dozen hyenas gathered in one place, all rushed into the trap without stopping.

Snow and the others clearly heard the sound of the hyenas falling to the bottom of the trap, the sound of bamboo knives piercing the flesh, and the howls of the hyenas before they died. Falling from such a high distance, even if the bottom is covered with stones, can easily kill the hyenas, not to mention that the bottom of the trap is densely packed with sharp bamboo knives. Not to mention hyenas, even a wild boar with thick skin fell into it, and it had to die on the spot.

Until all the sounds die down and everything is calm. Abra and the others came back to their senses, and this was really a joy from heaven. I really didn't expect that the hyena, who has always been as cunning as a fox, would make such a lowly mistake and jump into the trap with all his brains.

The residents, who were already nervous, cheered. It didn't take much effort to deal with a group of hyenas, and they were naturally very happy.

Mandason turned his head to look at Snow in disbelief, this was exactly the same as Snow had expected, more than twenty hyenas, all of them fell into the trap, which was incredible.

"What do you want me to do? I said, it's dark and the road is slippery, these hyenas are so careless. Snow shook his head and said in a casual tone.

Just as everyone was cheering for victory, the cries of wild beasts suddenly came from not far outside the town, and the sound of one after another instantly pulled everyone from heaven to hell. At the same time, two warning whistles were heard from the west side of the town, and according to the previous signal, Snow knew that a large number of wild beasts should have been found in the west.

Snow frowned, his worst fears had happened. The hyena group made the fuse, and now all the beasts on the periphery of the mountain forest are going to fry. The number of beasts that Rook Town needs to deal with next is several times that of the hyena pack, and tonight's battle has only just begun.

Snow began to worry that although Elena was able to control the beast, it was still dangerous to be alone outside the town. Snow was a little anxious, but he couldn't help much. The only way to do this is to command the townspeople to quickly push back these beasts to relieve Elena's pressure.

As the beast's roar approached, hundreds of beast lights surged out of the darkness.

"Illuminate." As soon as Mandason gave the order, ten archers took out long arrows with oilcloth wrapped around their heads, lit them with torches, drew their bows, and raised the full moon at forty-five degrees to the sky and fired three arrows out of the town.

The flaming arrows were like meteors, temporarily dispelling the darkness. By the light of the fire, Mandason and the others could roughly see the situation outside the town. More than 100 beasts of various species and sizes formed an arc around the north side of the town.

To Mandathan's horror, among these beasts were several large beasts that occupied an area on their own. Snow also took a general look, but fortunately did not find the lions that Elena was talking about. However, Snow still did not find Elena, and did not know where she was hiding.

Far from frightening the beasts, the appearance of the fire provoked their wrath. With the roar of a wolf king, nearly a hundred beasts began to run quickly towards the walls of the town.

Snow had thought more than once about fighting the beasts, but when hundreds of beasts roared in unison, he couldn't help but take half a step back.

This scene reminded him of a scene from a zombie movie, and these hungry beasts are not much gentler than zombies.

Snow seemed to see the dark green point of light again in a trance, and heard the sound of a beast falling into a trap, but now he and the inhabitants didn't care about it. More than a dozen small beasts had already arrived within ten meters of the front of the town, and Snow could already see the hideous appearance of these beasts by the light of the fire.

"Shoot the arrows!" Mandason made a quick decision, and as he spoke, he loosened his fingers, and a sharp arrow was already heading straight for the head of a beast.

The archers, who had been prepared for a long time, shot their arrows quickly. Because of the close distance, the arrows are fired in a straight line. The arrowheads made of gold, iron and stone fully showed their great power, and several wild beasts were directly pierced through their bodies or necks by sharp arrows. Like a high-speed car suddenly being hit, it fell headlong and rolled forward with its body close to the ground.

After only one shot, the beast that came first rushed to the wall, scrambling to leap up. Fortunately, these are small beasts, and the walls and traps temporarily hinder them. Several beasts lost their balance when they stepped on the trap and crashed into the wall with a muffled thud.

"Don't panic! Keep shooting! Mandason showed the professionalism of an old hunter, shouting orders and calmly firing a second arrow.

The moment of life and death can stimulate people's potential the most, and the rest of the archers have no time to be afraid, according to the previous training, quickly pick up the sharp arrows on the wall, and repeat the actions of drawing the bow, aiming, and letting go of the shot. However, shooting a wooden plank and shooting a fast-running beast are two different concepts, and many sharp arrows failed to hit the target.

Ten sharp arrows each, which were quickly used up in a slightly frantic state of the archers. A hundred arrows had dealt with less than twenty beasts, and the vast majority of them were the work of Mandathan, a veteran.

"The archers retreat, the others are ready to fight!" Abra drew his sword and roared.

Ten archers turned and retreated, giving way to their positions. Mandathan threw his bow and arrows at his feet, drew his sword and slashed at a beast whose front paws had gripped the wall.

The beast was struck in its right paw and reluctantly landed in a trap beneath the wall, where rows of sharp bamboo knives awaited it.
