Volume 1, Dongyi Tribe 9.Tiger Jiao is attacking and in distress
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, the struggle for power never needs a reason, it must be unified for a long time, and the three are one, Jiuli, there are bears, and the Jiang family is not a feud, but it is bound to be your life and death...
Chi Youqin led the army to sweep around, and the momentum of killing was unstoppable, and the Jiang tribe's territory was completely lost, and there was nowhere to hide, so he had to lead the remnants of tens of thousands of people to retreat westward and turn to the bear tribe for help.
Although the two clans used to be in constant conflicts, Gongsun Xuanyuan, the leader of the bears, did not want to break the balance between the three and set aside a large territory in the south for them.
The strength of the two clans of Jiuli Anti-Japanese Alliance did not fall behind, and their morale was greatly boosted.
Wherever the army went, the tribes fled or raised their banners and submitted to obedience. Many small tribes were dethroned, but there were also unwilling people who defected to the bear tribe.
The two huge political forces formed a situation of confrontation between the east and the west, and a huge storm gathered in the sky over the Central Plains, and the world officially entered the era of two heroes competing for hegemony.
Heroes emerge in troubled times, and many sages who can't go out of retreat have come out of the mountains to choose their masters.
However, there are exceptions, on a high mountain in Guiguling, Taiyun Mountain, an old man in Tsing Yi looked towards the Central Plains thousands of miles away.
Coincidentally, on the top of the snow-capped mountains in the west, there is also a middle-aged man dressed in white who is also staring in the direction of the Central Plains.
I wonder if they already knew that the Central Plains Rebellion was about to break out...
Whether it is Chiyou's prestige or Xuanyuan's virtuous name, it has not yet reached this distant eastern region, and it is destined not to become the focus of attention from all parties.
Maybe it won't be long before the heroic deeds of Chiyou, the co-owner of Dongyi, will reach the Taiyun Mountains, or maybe what he is waiting for is his conscription order.
In short, as the Jiuli tribe moved westward, the east became more and more restless.
The Great War in the Central Plains may really break out, and there will be no return to a peaceful life...
The two here also felt the tension in the Central Plains.
The increasingly difficult roads here are the most troublesome, and the mountains in the west and low in the east make the upstream terrain gradually higher, and the soil becomes looser and muddy.
If you are not careful, you may fall into it, so the two of them walked very carefully, holding both ends of the bow and arrow, and Yukizo walked in front of them to lead the way.
Compared to the spacious cliff bottom, the water is now wider and the current is more rapid.
Perhaps there will be no road ahead, and the entire cliff floor will be occupied by floodwaters, and that position is the most likely to trap the tribesmen.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
The unfamiliar environment can always make people's vigilance naturally increase, especially now that the beauty is on the side, Mu San is even more careful.
Fortunately, they did not encounter a powerful beast for the time being, and when they walked ahead, a huge swamp blocked the way, and the sound of frog chirping came out one after another.
The two stopped, stood side by side, and discussed how to get through the swamp.
Now it seems that there are only two ways.
The first is to prepare a wooden boat and swim against the current, but depending on the speed of the current, it is obviously more difficult.
The second is to climb the rock, passing from above, then you may miss the traces of the clansmen, and the two of them can't make up their minds for a while.
At this moment, accompanied by a loud ape cry, a white spirit ape, about a head taller than Mu San, jumped down from a crooked tree in the mountain, walked to the edge of the swamp, and squatted on the ground.
Spirit apes are rare, and white ones are even rarer, and the two have never met white spirit apes, so they are more surprised.
This spirit ape has short legs and long hands, snow-like hair all over its body, and a triangular bulge in the center of its smooth forehead.
The two of them looked at each other like this, and the spirit ape scratched its head from time to time, and the humanized movements made Wang Yu "giggle".
Mu San also liked this white spirit ape a little now, and he couldn't help beckoning to it, and the spirit ape was not afraid, and staggered towards the two of them.
Suddenly, several large fish jumped out of the rushing river from time to time, whistling from the upstream.
The reputation of the frogs in the entire swamp also suddenly stopped, and they fled in all directions.
Before Mu San could see what kind of monster was in Qing Shui, Wang Yu had already exclaimed:
"It's a tiger Jiao, run."
After saying that, he pulled him and ran towards the mountain wall.
The spirit ape also sensed the danger at this time, and with a speed dozens of times faster than just now, he jumped up to the mountain wall in three or two strokes, grabbed a mountain rock bulge with one hand, and cried sideways at the two of them, the cry was full of worry.
Tiger Jiao, non-fish and non-snake, fish body snake tail, long four-legged webbed, so the speed in the water is extremely fast, but on land it is relatively slow. It weighs about dozens of pounds, has a large mouth and two rows of sharp teeth.
A tiger Jiao is not terrible, the terrible thing is that this monster is a large area as soon as it is dispatched, not to mention that there will be more than a dozen.
At this time, about a dozen tiger Jiao crawled out of the shore and slowly crawled towards the two of them.
The two of them had quickly retreated to the front of the mountain wall, there was no way ahead, only to climb the mountain, and Mu San could only silently pray that this monster would not climb the mountain.
He crouched down, let Wang Yu climb up on his shoulders first, and sent her to a platform above to hide.
When he was ready to climb the mountain, it was too late, and the tiger Jiao group had already surrounded him, so he had to throw his bow and arrows to Wang Yu, holding a short knife in his hand, with his back to the mountain wall, to respond to the enemy.
He understands that the current battle is extremely crucial, and if he is not careful, he will become a delicacy for the beast, and Wang Yu will also suffer, so he can only fight desperately to get rid of the fate of becoming a prey.
The battle is about to break out, and Mu San doesn't understand the opponent's attack method, so he can only tense his nerves to respond to all changes.
Wang Yu was even more worried about Mu San below on the platform, and he was so nervous that he had forgotten the bow and arrow in his hand.
Tiger Jiao, a creature, although it is a legacy of ancient times, has a low IQ and likes to attack it in groups.
Without being polite to him, they suddenly increased their speed and swarmed up, their cries were extremely strange and harsh.
This kind of chaotic and unorganized attack method looks terrible, but in fact, there are too many flaws, and Mu San instantly has a way to deal with it.
One of them rushed out first, leaping to his feet and lunging at him.
Mu San's body was short, he held the knife in both hands, and slashed forward hard, right in the jaw of the tiger Jiao, the sharp short knife instantly cut a big hole, blood splashed, and chopped it back, and smashed several of its kind while landing on the ground.
The tiger Jiao was bloodthirsty, and the flying blood aroused their ferocity, and the few around them didn't care what they landed, they tore at the location of the blood, and it wailed a few times, and died immediately.
The whole scene was bloodier and more chaotic.
The opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, Mu San found this characteristic and immediately shouted:
"Shoot arrows into the tiger herd."
After speaking, he smashed a tiger Jiao that pounced on him again into a dense place.
Wang Yu also reacted at this time, no longer hesitated, opened his bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow, but it was a no-brainer, or a shot on the brow, or in the eye, all of which were in the vital parts, and hundreds of shots were hit, which greatly reduced Mu San's pressure and once again refreshed his cognition of her.
I didn't expect her to have such great archery skills.
The scene seemed to become less terrifying all of a sudden, but after all, it was the impact of dozens of catties of monsters, and Mu San was also a little unbearable, and his physical exertion was huge.
The bow and arrow were in a hurry at this time, there were not many, and now the consumption was almost exhausted, and the remaining five or six in front of him could only rely on him to resist.
Can't be passive anymore, Kisan is preparing to find a way to take the initiative to attack.
Suddenly, a fist stone flew over, and although the force was not large, it successfully hit one of the tiger Jiao, and it was dizzy and dizzy, and it couldn't understand where the sneak attack came from.
He hurriedly raised his eyes and saw that it was the stone that Wang Yu threw when he saw that there was no bow and arrow, and he had an idea to adapt to local conditions.
He secretly praised Wang Yu in his heart, with such a stable marksman in the rear, he could attack with confidence, and the pressure was reduced a lot.
At this time, a more gratifying scene appeared, and the spirit ape next to him also grabbed a mountain stone and threw it over, but the head was slightly worse and threw it into the open space in front of Mu San, and the strength was much greater.
"Knock".
It's also fortunate that Mu San hadn't rushed out just now, otherwise he would have smashed half his life this time. But fortunately, the remaining few tiger Jiao were also frightened and retreated, looking at the spirit ape.
The ape seemed to be angry, jumped down from a great height, slammed his arms on the ground, and roared angrily.
He grabbed the rocks with both hands and threw them over indiscriminately.
Mu San was so frightened that he hurriedly hid to the side to prevent being accidentally injured.
The tiger Jiao was miserable, but anyone who was hit was a person who turned on his back and turned and crawled towards the river.
The spirit ape was very unwilling, and chased and stole, so frightened that the remnants of the tiger Jiao swung their limbs, crawled to the river at a faster speed, and "snorted" a few times into the water and disappeared.
The spirit ape chased to the river, threw many stones into the river, and the "dong dong dong" kept on and on, and only when he saw that there was no reaction did he return in a huff, leaving only blood and a few corpses everywhere.
After a moment of rest, Mu San had recovered at this time, and the battle just now was still thanks to the help of the spirit ape.
He carefully took Wang Yu down, and once again admired her intelligence and archery skills, and at the same time stimulated the strength to not admit defeat and have more motivation.
Wang Yu also praised Mu San's courage in his heart, and his tone involuntarily softened a lot with the change of heart.
"It's been a long time, let's eat something and rest our feet."
"Good"
touched his nose and was about to look for something to eat,
"Grandpa said that the meat of the tiger Jiao is delicious and delicious, so we will eat it."
Mu San nodded again, stepped forward and withdrew the bow and arrows one by one, and carefully wiped them clean.
Be sure to make a few more wooden arrows to spare, in this era, bows and arrows are the most powerful weapons, and they are also the greatest guarantee of life.
Rummaging through a tiger that had just been shot by a bow and arrow, and was about to skin and cramp, the spirit ape slowly walked over from the river.
The behavior of both men today has given it great curiosity.
Mu San arched his hand at the spirit ape, regardless of whether it could understand it or not, he continued to clean up the tiger Jiao, and cooked it over a fire, which took more than an hour.
During this period, the smell of meat had already attracted the curious baby of the spirit ape to come closer, staring at it with a blank eye, and saliva flowed all over the ground.
The two of them and a beast sat side by side around the fire, Mu San's cooking skills were good, plus the ingredients were delicious, the taste was naturally very good, and the whole person felt refreshed after eating, and I don't know what else to do.
