The closest monster lair to the Arishibe was on a hillside to the southeast, and these ugly monsters seemed to love the shadowy places.

The warriors who set out on the expedition, led by Zhou Yan, stopped about a mile from the slope of the mountain that was back to the sun.

"Seeing that hillside, according to the observation of our people, the monster has a small lair there, there are five adult monsters, and two or three small monsters, if nothing else, those things should be in the lair at this time, we will carefully approach that side for a while, block the hole, lure those things out, and shoot them directly with a bed crossbow."

The captain took out the binoculars from his backpack and looked at the place Zhou Yan pointed, and sure enough, he saw a dark cave in the dense woods, but there was no sign of a monster.

"Patriarch Zhou, those monsters are huge and agile, I'm afraid it will be difficult to kill them all in one blow, just in case, when attacking for a while, divide the twenty bed crossbows into two shots, and the archers and spearmen will cover on the side."

Zhou Yan nodded and said, "This is indeed safer, it's not early, we have to end all this before dark, and we will spend the night here tonight." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand behind him and motioned for the team to move on.

Zhou Yu, who was following the team, touched an animal tooth hanging on his chest, which was a gift from his wife before departure, according to the legend here, if the brave warrior wears the teeth of a beast, he can get the protection of the mountain god, thinking of his wife's gradually bulging belly, the corners of his mouth can't help but curl, looking at the surrounding mountains, and secretly saying in his heart: "God bless, I hope everything goes well." ”

Although the road leading to the mountain slope is very rough, it does not have much impact on the humans who live in the mountains.

The long line cautiously approached the target, and the nimble scouts kept sending in front of them.

The monsters didn't realize that these bug-like beings were plotting against them, and everything was so peaceful.

The mission went so smoothly that everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after so many years of contact, the mountain people knew the horror of these monsters, although they were fully prepared under the leadership of the salt department, but they were not afraid that it was fake.

When he was still more than a hundred meters away from the cave, Zhou Yu waved his hand to stop the team.

The captain looked at the terrain around him and frowned.

The terrain here is very complicated, and the location of the cave entrance can only allow everyone to attack from the bottom up, which greatly weakens the power of the bed crossbow, which makes him worry about this mission.

glanced at Zhou Yan, and saw that he was also full of solemnity.

"Patriarch Zhou, the terrain here is not conducive to our attack, if you want to maximize the power of the bed crossbow, you can only advance the distance a little."

Zhou Yan nodded, "It can only be like this, although it makes it very dangerous to do it, but if you give up, the courage that the various ministries have accumulated with great difficulty will probably be gone, what we need is a victory." ”

After saying that, he ordered the warrior who controlled the bed crossbow to assume that the bed crossbow was less than thirty meters from the entrance of the cave.

Such a close distance is already very dangerous, and although those monsters are huge, they are extremely agile, and if they miss a single blow, they will be in a very terrible situation waiting for everyone.

Zhou Yan knew that this was a risk, but he had to do it, in a few years, those monsters occupied a large area of mountains and forests, if this momentum could not be contained, human beings could only choose to flee.

In the face of such a terrifying creature, let alone strengthening the race, even a foothold will not exist.

The clansmen of each tribe set up the bed crossbow according to the tactics they had formulated before, and looked at the dark hole with nervous expressions.

As reinforcements, these people in the Xia Kingdom naturally will not risk their lives to kill the heroes, these people carry the best bows and arrows and spears in the Xia Kingdom, for their own safety, Zhou Yu and the others chose a relatively safe ground, ready to attack, if the situation is not good, they can escape at any time.

Although this behavior was a bit cowardly, these young students all thought that their help to the mountain people was enough, after all, this was not the Xia Kingdom, and it was not enough for them to sacrifice for it.

After everything is prepared, the next step is to lure the monsters out of the cave, for which everyone discussed two ways, one is to use blood to attract monsters, but this method cannot wipe out the monsters, if the monsters escape back into the cave, they are also powerless.

The other way is to attack them with fire, of course, this fire attack is not to burn them with fire, this cave is very large, it is very unrealistic to burn them.

It's full of damp trees and weeds, which don't make a fire, but it's a good fuel to make smoke.

After more than half an hour, the people in charge of lighting the fire finally lit the fire, and the damp wood and the smoke that rose made everyone cough.

Zhou Yan sent a few brave clansmen to quickly move the fire to the entrance of the cave, covering a pile of rotten leaves and branches on the fire.

The smoke was obscured by the covering, and the choking smell in the air was only slightly relieved.

After using all three fires as enough fuel, the warriors hurried back to the group, having just heard the sound of ropes coming from the depths of the cavern, which frightened them into tears.

"Chief, the monster looks like it's coming out."

"I know, everyone is ready, don't attack without permission, listen to my commands, and expel the panicked from the tribe." Zhou Yan shouted in a deep voice.

When the tribesmen heard this, their hearts suddenly sank, and they tried to restrain the fear in their hearts, for in this age, expulsion from the tribe meant death, perhaps a more terrible thing than death.

At this time, as the temperature of the fire continues to rise, the billowing smoke rises into the sky, and under the action of the mountain wind, a large amount of smoke drifts to the depths of the cave, and the gray smoke obscures everyone's sight, and the situation of the cave ** cannot be seen clearly.

The people who came out of the upwind could ask about the faint smell of smoke, but it didn't have much impact.

Quiet, extremely quiet, everyone subconsciously held their breath, the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath, Zhou Yu held the bow and arrow in his hand, his fingers were a little white, hesitating and extremely nervous, sweat slid across his cheeks and he didn't know it.

"Whew. Multiply... ”

A scalp-tingling cry came from the cavern, and several large, vague figures in the smoke were rapidly crawling towards the entrance of the cave.
