Volume 12 Complete Closure Chapter 19 The Crisis Comes
The majestic mountains, shrouded in clouds and mist, are like a fairyland, and there is a narrow basin between the mountains and forests, surrounded by towering mountains, like a cornucopia on the earth. Between the mountains and forests, the tiger roars and the ape cries, and there is no human trace. But in this basin is built a tower, up to nine zhang five, symbolizing the supreme ninety-five in the world, the base of the tower is octagonal, there is a stone step on each side, leading to the top of the tower, the world is covered with bright red carpet, exudes a kind of confusing bright red, and the smell of rust permeates the air, this carpet of more than ten zhang long, is completely dyed red with blood.
Under the tower, all parties gathered and occupied their own positions, each side was a fierce soldier, whether it was the principal or the guards who followed the representative, all of them wore strict armor that would cover the whole body, even if it was a literati with sparse martial arts, at this time they were also wearing armor and wearing masks, covering their faces behind the cold iron armor, because no one here could believe that they might be able to get up together, but they must not be regarded as comrades-in-arms, and no one knew the details of the other party. No one knew who the other person was, and the reason why they came here was only because a news reached their ears, which allowed them to come here like moths to a fire, but they were unwilling to reveal their identities.
When these people had made their way to this place, they found that there was only a lone tower in this place, and that there were people on all sides who had come all the way like themselves, and they were all on the same track. They reached the bottom of the tower almost by their feet, guarding each other. No one wants to step forward first, and they are all testing each other. Whoever dares to go up first will surely become the target of public criticism, and will be attacked by all those who stand below. No one will doubt this, because the news they got made them dare to do this, without hesitation, just for that one in 10,000 chance, if this news is true, then I am afraid that Li Shimin is sitting in the wrong name in this world, and they will have a chance!
Except, of course, these people. There were still a lot of people on the way, but they were the first to come, each with a large number of guards, all of them wearing iron armor and holding swords, and the cold light flashed with bloodthirsty aura. But no one can have the upper hand, and they are all just holding each other back against each other with the surrounding forces. No one can muster up the courage to take that first step, because they are all afraid, they are afraid that if they go out, they will be attacked by everyone. It's definitely the first to be eliminated, so they're all waiting for others to make the first move. This subtle atmosphere spread in the small basin, and everyone couldn't see who the person on the other side was, and the similar iron armor masks became obstacles between each other. There is no chance of seeking help. But this sinking situation will eventually be broken, and I saw a man riding a red horse walking forward and raising his hands. Signaling that he had no malicious intent, he would definitely not take the opportunity to rush forward: "Everyone." I'm waiting to be jealous of each other, but it's not a way to do it after all. There is only one copy of that thing, and we have so many people here, it is definitely not enough to divide it, so I hope that everyone will be open and honest and discuss who will be in charge of the thing, or what kind of benefits to give up to the rest of the houses. ”
"This benevolent brother said well, it is really difficult for us to make a decision on each other's guard like this, and there are many forces coming on the way back, I believe they are almost there, so if we want to get that thing, then we can only cooperate sincerely, and the conditions that are satisfactory to each other are opened, so that one family can hold that thing, and the rest of the families can protect it, so that we can really get that thing out, in this deep mountain and old forest, the value of that magical treasure cannot be played at all, but who holds that thing? So let's all say our own things and see who can satisfy the rest! On the other side, there was also a man whose face was obscured by iron armor came out, he was not very tall, he looked relatively thin, his armor on him looked a little uncoordinated, and the three long strands of hair on his chest showed that this guy was definitely quite old.
"Haha...... If this thing appears on our territory, then it is ours, and you people are just outsiders from outside the mountains, why do you want to get involved? So let you come and go today, we mountain people have nothing, some are just waiting for your life, you tell me whether your little life is worth the value of this thing? "A strong man came out of the mountains and forests at this time, and his dexterity was like an ape, galloping rapidly among the treetops, and the whole person was swaying between the branches, as if walking on the ground. He was wearing a shirt made of animal skins, with a longbow and a pot of arrows hanging from his waist, but most of them were quite loud and bluntly said that this thing belonged to them as warriors in the mountains and forests, and it was not something that outsiders could touch. “
It's just a barbarian in the mountains, and such a treasure can actually be blessed by such a vulgar person? I don't look at what kind of virtue I have, and I really wear a fur fur when I am in tatters? A voice that was neither yin nor yang came from the crowd under the tower, and there was a hint of disdain between the words. It seems that these people in this mountain forest are very disdainful, who are they, how can warriors carefully selected from the most powerful forces in the Central Plains be afraid of these barbarians.
"Since the words are not speculative, then I will leave you in this mountain forest, let this mountain beast have a full meal, and it is not in vain that you have come to the mountains and rivers like this, brothers, come out to hunt!" With the long roar of the man wearing animal skins who appeared first, the figures wearing animal skins and dead leaves tied to the branches and leaves appeared in the surrounding mountains and forests. With the appearance of these people, the faces of several centaurs in the basin also changed greatly, they never thought that there would be so many people ambushing around them, and they traveled all the way, and they did not find any of these people's disguises, these people are natural hunters in the mountains and forests, these camouflage skills alone are enough to become a nightmare for any army.
"Misunderstanding, definitely misunderstanding! The old man is the third elder of the Zheng family in Xingyang, from the Zheng family among the five surnames and seven hopes of the top family in the Tang Dynasty, we will definitely meet all the conditions of the heroes, I hope the net will open up! When these mountains and forests were approaching, someone finally collapsed, and an old man took off the mask on his face, revealing an old face, and shouted urgently, because he saw that these people were holding bamboo pipes in their hands, and Xingyang Zheng knew this kind of thing. This is the top and most savage hunter in this vast mountain will use weapons, soaked in the poisonous blow arrows that seal their throats with blood, and these people are definitely the most cold-blooded hunters, their blow arrows are enough to hurt people from three feet away, and it is not a lie. And the poison on the arrows can take the lives of the enemy in the smallest and most insignificant wounds. At the beginning, in order to avoid the war, their Xingyang Zheng clan also thought about such as this vast mountain, so they specially collected the intelligence of the people in these mountains and forests, and at this time he was the most feared person.
Because this time it was good that all the people they brought were wearing armor, but they also had exposed skin, such as the chins on their faces, their hands, and their joints, which were not covered by armor, and there were always gaps, which gave the enemy the opportunity to bring them a fatal blow. And most importantly, this time the arrows they brought had been used up in the long journey ahead, and they had become live targets without long-range strike capabilities. So surrender at this time is the best choice to save your life.
"Haha...... There are always acquaintances, it's not easy, you people outside the mountains, all of you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, do you really think that those horizontal knives in your hands can threaten us men in the mountains and forests? Let's see how the warriors who shuttle through the mountains and forests harvest your lives! Countless wild men in the mountains wrapped in animal skins began to rush up like wild beasts, and all of them were silent, and none of them made a sound, like predatory beasts, for fear of scaring away their prey.
"Rush up, stand on top of this tower, there is always an advantage in being condescending!" A big man with heavy armor shouted, and rushed towards the tower with all the people behind him, a group of people galloped past, and quickly climbed up, on the top of this tower is a flat open space, here, it is the same in all directions, as long as the edge of one zhang and three inches and three, forming a beautiful puzzle, as if it were a gossip array. But at this time, no one had the heart to study, and everyone wanted to occupy a more advantageous position, that is, in the center, as for the treasure mentioned in the news they obtained, no one thought about it, because these barbarians in the mountains and forests appeared here, so no matter what treasures have been looted by them, there will be something left.
"Haha...... Toast and don't eat and drink, since you people are here, then leave the armor and weapons on your body! The warriors of our tribe need these things, and in the future, we will go out of the mountains to conquer the world of flowers beyond the mountains, and your merits will be engraved on the murals of the empire we have built, and the world will admire them! Haha...... "The first strong man in animal skin laughed under the tower.
"Who the hell is Your Excellency? Why ambush us here? "On the top of the tower, the leader of one of the eight groups of people came to the edge of the tower at this time, and it was not enough for so many of them to stand on the platform at the top of the tower, so most of them were still standing on the stairs in the middle of the tower, like guards guarding the tower.
"Haha...... Since we are a great force in the world beyond the mountains, how can we not know who we really are? Is there anyone else in this forest? Since you have asked sincerely, then Uncle Ben will still be merciful to tell you, you can listen to it! The fur man said with a serious face. (To be continued......)
