Chapter 26: The Dance of the Beasts (2)
The huge corpses of several golden feather eagles fell from the sky, and a lot of snowflakes splashed on the ground.
There was no threat in the air for the time being, and Ye Xiao and the others turned around to deal with the beasts in front of them that were still rushing towards them without fear of death.
"Puff puff ......"
The sound of spears and crossbow arrows shooting into the flesh is clearly visible, from time to time there are beasts that fall to the ground with arrows, because the previous explosion killed the first few mammoths and herbivorous beasts that rushed over, their huge bodies fell to the ground to form a wall of flesh, basically blocking the road ahead, so the follow-up beasts did not break through Ye Xiao's defense for a while.
This bought Ye Xiao a little time for them, but Ye Xiao knew very well that this situation was only temporary, and when the spears and crossbow arrows in their hands ran out, this balance would be broken.
Ye Xiao kept shooting arrows with his bow and crossbow while thinking about what to do next.
……
When the battle on Ye Xiao's side was at a stalemate, the battle between the Kunshan tribe and the beast herd on the other side was also in a white-hot state.
The defenses of the Kunshan tribe on the periphery of the foot of the mountain have all fallen, and at this moment the beasts have gathered at the foot of the mountain and launched an attack on the mountain. From the foot of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain, the people of the Kunshan tribe took advantage of the terrain and the large trees that grew to form an effective defense, blocking some of the larger passages.
The large beasts in the herd advanced slowly, and only a few small and nimble beasts could pass through the narrow passage and make their way up the mountainside.
However, although there were obstacles, but those giant beasts were strong and strong, especially mammoths and beasts with bone armor on their bodies, and they slammed into those obstacles like crazy.
"Click, click......"
"Boom ......"
The trees were overwhelmed and struck by the fierce impact of the mammoths, and the beams between the trees were also shattered.
With their way, the black pressed beast herd was advancing towards the halfway up the mountain little by little, and the smaller beasts were already less than a hundred meters away from the second line of defense formed by the Kunshan tribe in the middle of the mountainside, followed by the larger saber-toothed tigers, giant wolves, wild boars and other fierce beasts, as well as giant apes with a height of about seven or eight meters.
Halfway up the mountainside, hundreds of warriors of the Kunshan tribe were holding spears in their hands and preparing to attack, and on a high platform, Lan Xue was also holding the bow and crossbow that Ye Xiao had given them, following Lan Heng and Wu Dan, and behind them were the three Ulu brothers holding spears.
The old people, women and children in the tribe are all hiding in the cave at the moment, originally Lan Heng also wanted Lan Xue to hide inside, but Lan Xue was unwilling, and stubbornly said that he was the young patriarch of the Kunshan tribe, how could he retreat and hide behind the clansmen at this time!
Lan Heng knew her temper, and once she decided that the nine-headed mammoth couldn't pull it back, she had no choice but to go with her, just telling the three Ulu brothers to protect Lan Xue's safety.
All the young and strong men of the Kunshan tribe are almost staying here at the moment, looking at the beasts that are rushing towards them with great momentum, saying that they are not afraid that it is fake, but when they think of the wives and children they want to protect behind them, they all clenched the spears in their hands and stared at the beasts below.
Seeing the beasts getting closer and closer, Lan Heng raised the wooden staff in his hand.
"Put!"
At the sound of an order, several huge rocks and logs were pushed down from the high platform, and the boulders rushed into the herd with terrifying kinetic energy, overwhelming a large area in an instant.
There was a terrible roar in the herd, but the boulder continued to swoop downward, and the nimble beast behind it could still get away with it, while the huge beast had no time to dodge being knocked over, and one after another the giant beast fell, but the boulder rolled all the way until it knocked down a few large trees.
A few boulders and logs fought their way through the herd, causing a lot of damage to the herd, but soon the herd of beasts in the rear rushed up to make up for the gap.
"Put!"
……
"Put!"
……
After placing boulders and logs three times in a row, they ran out of boulders and logs they had stored.
"Spearmen prepare, be careful not to let these brutes rush up, let go!"
Lan Heng commanded loudly, his tone was not the slightest flustered, he had experienced this kind of beast tide several times, and he had accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with the beast tide, although every time his clan would lose a lot, but in the end, he was able to survive the beast tide.
After a few rounds of spears were lowered, the beasts were killed and wounded again, and according to this momentum, as long as they held until dawn tomorrow, they would be able to survive this beast tide.
However, this is often not the case, and the various birds that used to hover in the air are now joining the attack. It's like someone is manipulating, at first, it is the beasts on the ground that attack, and when the two sides are in a state of anxiety, the birds in the sky suddenly attack.
"Damn it!"
Lan Heng noticed the various birds that were swooping over at great speed in the sky in the distance, and his face suddenly became gloomy, the previous beast tides were like this, and before the critical moment, the birds appeared. Every time the beast tides, the main casualties of their Kunshan tribe are because of the attack of these birds.
"Watch out for bird attacks, everyone!"
Lan Heng ignored his own danger and ran down the high platform, shouting a warning to those clansmen who were standing and struggling to throw spears downward.
But the birds were so fast that a few spread their wings and reached the warriors of the Kunshan tribe who were throwing spears.
"Ah......h
"Ah......h
Suddenly, the screams of the Kunshan tribesmen sounded halfway up the mountainside, some of the reflexes of the warriors dodged the attack, and some were unfortunately caught by the giant claws of the birds.
Due to the addition of birds, the defensive front organized by the Kunshan tribe was disrupted, and soon a wild beast broke through the defense, but there were warriors who were not afraid of death and rushed over and fought to the death against the beast.
"Brute, watch the staff!"
Although Lan Heng was nearly fifty years old, his body was very tough, and he knocked a giant wolf that pounced on him with a wooden staff in his hand, and the body of the giant wolf hit a boulder, accompanied by a sound of bone cracking, the giant wolf howled twice and fell to the ground.
Although the giant wolf fell to the ground, he did not die, but struggled to get up, and the four wolf paws scratched on the ground, but he never got up.
"Humph!"
Lan Heng snorted coldly, turned around and fought with the other two giant wolves.
But when people are always exhausted, no matter how strong Lan Heng is, he will eventually reach the age of forty or fifty, plus the two giant wolves are very cunning and don't fight him head-on, it didn't take long for Lan Heng to be scratched by the giant wolf A few wounds were scratched out of his body, and the red blood quickly soaked the animal skin clothes.
"Father, be careful!"
Lan Xue, who was constantly holding a bow and crossbow to shoot at those birds, saw the blood on Lan Heng's body, her face changed greatly, and she ran over to Lan Heng anxiously.
"Atta, danger!" The three Ulu brothers, who were in charge of protecting Lan Xue, shouted anxiously and hurriedly followed.
Blue Snow ran not far from them and shot a crossbow arrow at one of the giant wolves.
"Whew!" A bolt burst through the air and struck the giant wolf in the neck.
"Huh~" The giant wolf howled in pain, turned around, and stared at Lan Xue with two scarlet eyes, and before it could make any moves, its body fell down.
The other giant wolf was obviously taken aback by this scene, and one was accidentally seized by Lan Heng and hit Lan Heng with a staff on the head, at this time Lan Xue quickly loaded the second crossbow arrow and made up for it.
The giant wolf was hit by an arrow, staggered a few times, and rolled down the hillside.
Without the threat of the giant wolf, Lan Heng just put the wooden staff on the ground, due to the excessive physical exertion and the loss of a lot of blood, Lan Heng felt dizzy in his head, and his body fell to the side uncontrollably.
"Father, how are you?"
Lan Xue ran over quickly, helped Lan Heng up, and asked with an anxious face.
At this time, the three Uru brothers also ran over and surrounded them in the middle, and the three of them held spears and looked nervously around them.
Lan Heng rested for a while, then gradually eased up and sighed, "Alas, it seems that I am really old, not as good as when I was young." ”
"Father, don't talk yet, go, I'll help you over there."
Lan Xue and Ulu joined forces to move Lan Heng to a relatively safe place.
At this time, the gap in the defenses that had been broken through by the beasts was re-blocked after the warriors of the Kunshan tribe paid a great price.
