Chapter 593: The Heavenly God Descends to Earth
Including Xiao Fan, everyone really wants to see what kind of monster this so-called "Millennium Snow Demon" is. But no one would have thought that they would see it so soon.
The two cars drove forward for less than two hours, and everyone had to choose other ways to travel. Still in the middle of a thousand miles of no man's land, two cars stopped on the side of the road, and a group of six people began to walk to the depths of the Great Snow Mountain. There is only one road, and it is a small road from here to the Toba tribe. This small road, almost in the middle of thousands of miles of uninhabited land, connects with the uninhabited highway in a T-shape.
Tenzin told Sù that if he relied purely on foot, it would take at least five days to reach the Toba tribe. Fortunately, after a few hours, they came to a small nomadic tribe in the area, and after negotiation, they were able to buy six horses very easily.
In fact, on the trail in the mountains, the speed of riding a horse is not faster than the speed of walking, because the endurance of horses is much better than that of people, and they can maintain a constant speed for a long time, relatively speaking, the distance traveled every day is much farther.
Horses were loaded with dry food, the dried meat was eaten by people, and the barley was eaten by horses. From this until the Toba settlements, the horses did not have time to graze on their own, and had to feed grain all the way to maintain a vigorous body. Along the way, Tenzin Ji and others tore the jerky from time to time and drank strong barley wine to drive away the biting cold on the snowy mountains.
has not been on the road for a day, and Gongpo, who was originally dismissive of Xiao Fan, has already changed his attitude.
Xiao Fan just rode on the horse, didn't eat, drink, and didn't talk much. is still wearing a thin Tang costume, and there is only one underwear under the Tang costume. In the freezing cold below zero. He looked calm and acted as if nothing had happened. Only the eyes are clear. It was as deep as the sea, showing that he was awake all the time.
Even the big fat cat in his arms has the same virtue as his owner, no matter how cold the weather is and how thin the oxygen is, he just sleeps and ignores the outside world.
Kampot, who has lived on the snowy plateau for a long time, knows very well that he wants to do this. It's incredible. In other words, Xiao Fan's internal strength as a "little white face" has reached an unimaginably high level, and the fatal cold for others has little effect on him at all.
It's no wonder that even a strong woman like Xin Lin and a powerful gangster like Ji Qingsha are willing to follow him and claim the status of a "little woman".
On the afternoon of the third day, the ponies entered a valley with abundant water and grass.
Otto became excited, stretched out his hand to point ahead, and said loudly, "Brother Xiao." Sister Ji, turn another corner, and we will arrive at our stockade. ”
The Toba tribe, although very primitive, is also like all nomadic tribes. They will choose a place with water to build a village, which is necessary for survival. Of course, it's not the same as a purely nomadic tribe. In addition to herding livestock, the Toba tribe also relies on collecting medicines. Fishing and hunting to supplement livelihoods. Because the Toba tribe is not like other nomadic tribes, they migrate with the seasons. Their stockade is basically fixed. As a result, although the river valley is rich in water and grass, it is difficult to raise too many cattle, sheep and horses, and the number of livestock is insufficient, so it is necessary to exchange food with the outside world with medicine and fur to survive the severe winter of extreme food shortage.
Ji Qingsha smiled and nodded, with a relaxed smile on her face.
After a long journey on horseback for three days, Rao is Ji Qingsha has deep internal skills and strong martial arts, and he also feels a little tired. When you get to the village, you can have a good rest, and the most important thing is to take a hot bath. For Ji Qingsha, this is the most urgent need at present.
Everyone carefully descended the valley and rode forward.
At this moment, the sound of a hurried trumpet suddenly came from the other side of the valley, whining, very urgent.
Teng Ginji, who originally looked relaxed, changed his face suddenly, and shouted: "It's not good, there is an enemy attacking the stockade......"
"It's a snow demon, a thousand-year-old snow demon—"
Otto screamed even more, his voice changing his tone in such a hurry.
After all, it is not the past, the vendetta between tribes has long ceased between tribes, and there is no need to kill the clansmen of the other tribe because of the sacrifice of cutting off people's heads, and the most terrible wolves in the snowy plateau have disappeared for many years, even if they are not completely extinct, they are already very difficult.
The sound of a trumpet indicating an enemy attack has not been sounded for many years. At this time, it suddenly sounded again, and there was no doubt that it could only be the newly emerged thousand-year-old snow demon attacking the stockade.
"Drive!"
Xiao Fan, who had been silently on horseback and closed his eyes to recuperate, suddenly opened his eyes, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and galloped forward like an arrow from a white horse under his crotch.
Of the six horses bought in the small tribe, this white horse is the most miraculous, and Tenza Zengji made a special trip to Xiao Fan to ride, naturally to show his respect for the distinguished guests.
"Driving—"
Everyone drove their mounts with all their might, and followed closely.
The sound of the horn became more and more urgent, and even the sound of "bang" artillery fire was already sounding. For a long time, the people of the plateau have been strong, and there are no tribes and villages that do not cultivate weapons. The slightly larger stockades have earthen cannons. It is the most primitive earthen cannon that is loaded with gunpowder and fires iron sand. It seems that in order to guard against the legendary thousand-year-old snow demon, the entire Toba village has unleashed all its potential.
The white horse took the lead in turning the hillside, and a cottage built on the mountain and water appeared in front of him.
The scale of this village is not very large, Xiao Fan is in the river valley, from his point of view, from the bottom to the top, he can't see the whole picture clearly. I can only see the back door of the stockade, the watchtower is full of people, shouts one after another, and countless arrows are flying towards the hillside behind. There was a loud "bang" sound, and clouds of smoke rose up.
Fierce battles are raging.
On the hillside behind the stockade, there was nothing but white snow.
Xiao Fan didn't say a word, and galloped towards the main gate of the village facing the river.
There was another rapid "woo" sound, and on the watchtowers on both sides of the main gate, which was originally empty, several heads suddenly appeared, and the bows and arrows in their hands were pulled apart, and they went down together, aiming at Xiao Fan who was rushing forward. A person waved his arms and shouted loudly, his expression was stern, Xiao Fan couldn't understand a word, but he knew that he was warning Xiao Fan not to continue to approach, otherwise he would be attacked.
Xiao Fan gently pulled the reins......
At this moment, a roar like thunder suddenly came, rumbling across the sky, shaking people's ear drums.
There was a lot of chaos at the back door of the stockade, with earthen cannons roaring and arrows raining down.
Xiao Fan didn't hesitate anymore, and galloped forward.
"Whoosh ......"
The Toba people guarding on the watchtower were not polite, seven or eight feather arrows flew with the sound of breaking through the sky, and each feather arrow was aimed at Xiao Fan's face, and the archery was good. This is a tribe inherited from fishing and hunting, and most of the adult men in the clan are skilled in archery and brave. This is also the reason why Odo dared to leave the mountains alone and go outside to ask for help from Tanda Chinkin.
"Don't be rude!"
Behind Xiao Fan, there was a frightened and angry shout from Dan Zengji. His horse was a little slower than half a beat, and at this time, he had just turned the hillside, and he saw such an "exciting" scene, and he immediately became anxious.
Xiao Fan was a distinguished guest he invited, but before he entered the cottage, he was splashed with a rain of arrows.
It's a pity that this roar is already late.
Xiao Fan suddenly jumped up on horseback, holding Heilin who continued to sleep with his left hand, and his right hand swayed freely in the air, and seven or eight feather arrows flew away one after another. The guard above the watchtower had just pulled the second arrow out of the quiver, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and for a moment, he couldn't even recognize the arrow, let alone pull the bow to put the second arrow.
The white shadow flashed, and Xiao Fan had already flown over the main gate and landed lightly on the watchtower on the right.
There were only four guards on the watchtower, and they just opened their mouths stupidly and looked at Xiao Zhenren who descended from the sky with his mouth wide open, and he couldn't come back to his senses at all, not knowing whether the situation in front of him was really illusory.
One of them woke up first, and then made a move that made everyone "suddenly realize" - "snap", the warrior threw the bow and arrow in his hand to the ground, his knees weakened, and he knelt down towards Xiao Fan, bowed his head, dragged a long note in his mouth, chanted a few strange syllables, and his face was full of awe with infinite piety.
His actions immediately played a leading role in the demonstration, which immediately caused a chain reaction. The other three guards threw away their bows and arrows in unison, and "Pouton" knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic, muttering the same syllables in their mouths.
Although Xiao Fan didn't understand, he also knew that they were showing their submission. Judging from this expression, these simple Toba men must regard Xiao Fan as a "god descending from heaven".
Xiao Zhenren's skills revealed just now, in a sense, have indeed surpassed the limits of human beings, and even Tenzin Ji and the others who followed closely behind were stunned and disbelievable.
However, Xiao Fan rushed into the village in such a hurry, he definitely didn't want these indigenous Toba people to bow to him, he just wanted to rush to the back door as quickly as possible to see what was going on over there.
The dull roar just now made Xiao Fan's vigilant heart suddenly rise to the highest level.
The coercive aura in the roar was really extraordinary, and it felt like it was not under the four ghost king-level monsters he had killed. It's just a roar, and if you face it seriously, it will definitely be even more different.
This thing should be the "thousand-year-old snow demon" in Otto's mouth, but it is not just as simple as Tenzin Ji's "infinite strength", this muffled roar alone has clearly shown that this is a monster, not an ordinary mutant beast.
With this kind of breath, Xiao Fan's perception will not be wrong.
At this time, there was no time to explain anything to a few kneeling worshippers, Xiao Fan stood on his feet a little, rose from the ground again, jumped out of the watchtower, and flew towards the back door of the stockade. (To be continued......)
