221 Avalanche
No matter how the Black Iron soldiers used the agitation method, even if they scolded the eight generations of the flute players, this strange sound never stopped, and no figure appeared.
The sound of the flute lasted for half a meal, and in this dark night, in this cold valley, encountering such a strange thing, Rao is black iron soldiers were bold, and many people had hairs on their backs.
The sound of the flute faded and eventually faded away. Did the cloud qilin stop playing the flute? Of course not, the jade qilin was playing harder now, and even beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead.
However, no matter how hard he tried, the flute never appeared again, and the valley fell into silence again.
No soldier dared to let up, even if the sound of the flute was gone.
The mountain wind blew through the valley, bringing with it a whistling sound. The starlight shone on the snowfield, and the sky and the earth were desolate.
Just as the soldiers were looking around in shock, suddenly from the mountain on the south side, there was a series of clicking sounds, like the sound of ice cubes rubbing against each other, which was faint at first but gradually turned into a low and muffled thunder sound.
The thunder began to be far away, far away. But after a while, the sound grew louder and louder, like a herd of galloping horses rushing towards the valley.
Suddenly, the guide in the crowd shouted bitterly.
"Avalanche, everyone be careful... Avalanche..."
The guide's shouts were so high-pitched that they instantly reverberated throughout the camp. There is more than one guide, these Blizzard guards who live in the Great Snow Mountain all year round are too familiar with this kind of sound, this is the most terrifying avalanche.
"How can this be, it's summer, and the snow layer of the mountain is very thin, so there shouldn't be avalanches..."
"Now I think those have a fart, everyone defends in place and forms a tortoiseshell formation..."
Yang Fan's shout immediately spread throughout the valley, but at this time, the tremor of the earth had reached its limit, and the foaming snow line had rushed to the edge of the camp.
At the last moment, the discipline of the Black Iron Legion brought the chaos under control. When the officer's order was just shouted, these trained soldiers almost subconsciously had a conditioned reflex.
The tortoiseshell array is the best formation to resist long-range attacks, and the dense black iron shields are connected from the ground to the top of the head, like the carapace of a turtle, closely connected piece by piece.
This is a formation that the Black Iron Legion often rehearses, originally designed to resist a rain of arrows or a ranged strike from the Awoken. I didn't expect that today, this ordinary tortoiseshell array actually saved so many lives.
The tortoiseshell array composed of hundreds of people was like turtle shells buckled on the ground, protecting so many fresh lives. Until the snow and ice flooded the entire camp.
The soldiers rested on their shoulders, and their shields were connected by iron rings. The soldiers on the outside held their shields tightly, while the soldiers on the inside struggled to hold their backs.
The huge impact instantly hit the shield, and those soldiers on the front line were about to vomit blood. In front is tens of millions of tons of ice and snow pressure, and in the back are comrades-in-arms holding their backs to the death.
These shield-wielding soldiers felt like they were about to be crushed into pieces of paper, and even the air in their lungs was about to be squeezed dry. Many soldiers could not resist such pressure, tilted their heads, and fell unconscious on the spot.
However, even if he passed out, he would not be able to fall, and the dense military formation had integrated everyone into the whole, and people huddled together to resist the avalanche with collective strength.
No matter what, at least the air in the tortoiseshell array is preserved, as long as everyone withstands this wave of ice and snow, and when it is safe, there is time to dig it out calmly.
The avalanche came violently, but it was short-lived, and in just a moment, the valley was completely covered with snow. When there was no trace of a living person in the valley, the jade unicorn finally put away his jade flute.
"Let's go, let's go back to Zhongzhou Mountain... It's time to get ready..."
After speaking, the two figures suddenly turned into two afterimages and quickly rushed towards the north.
Maybe in the eyes of the Jade Qilin, even if not all of these 40,000 soldiers died, at least half of them would have to be killed. After all, the power of heaven and earth is not something that mortal bodies can resist, even if they are high-ranking awakened people, there is only one way to escape in the face of such a large-scale avalanche.
However, he never underestimated the ability of these black iron soldiers, under the power of nature, weak mortals know how to use collective strength to protect themselves, and know how to exchange the smallest sacrifice for more people's lives.
When the valley was quiet, on top of the newly formed layer of snow, a strange force suddenly appeared from the snow, which was desperately arching upward, and in a moment a big hand stretched out of the snow.
First the hands, then the arms, then half of the shoulders, and finally the whole head came out. The people who escaped by luck were desperately breathing the free air, and it seemed that the snow layer was indeed suffocating.
There are two of them, and more and more soldiers are coming out of the snow. These soldiers, who did not have time to rest, immediately began to save people as soon as they showed their heads. They desperately dug through the snow, and after a while, a black shield was revealed, and a tortoiseshell array was finally saved.
More and more soldiers escaped, but in more than an hour, when the fish belly white appeared in the western sky, basically eighty percent of the soldiers had already escaped. Due to the abundance of manpower, it is estimated that the remaining 20% will soon be saved.
Fortunately, it is summer, and there is not much snow on the mountain, so if there is such an avalanche in winter, it is estimated that all the 40,000 soldiers will have to be accounted for here.
The frightened Yang Fan had just come out of the snowdrift and immediately began to arrange the task.
"The First Army, immediately disperse, patrolling the hills on both sides of the south... The Second Army immediately looked for supplies and first ensured the supply of hot water for the soldiers..."
"The other soldiers cleared the snow in different areas to ensure that no soldier was left behind, and that they would see people alive or corpses..."
"Where's the Skywalker?
When in front of Yang Fan, who was saving people, Yang Fan didn't talk nonsense, and immediately ordered.
"Take your team and go back to the Vast City immediately, just say that the Black Iron Legion is attacked and urgently needs to enter the Vast City to rest... Wait, you take the three Skywalkers first, and I'll leave the rest, and I'll report to Lord Drifting Fire at any time..."
"Go ahead, the sooner the better..."
After a silent salute, Erxi turned around and left the valley and galloped south.
Just as the self-help activities in the valley were in full swing, the meeting hall in the vast city was already full of people, this early in the morning, the flowing fire could not even sleep peacefully, and a group of giants woke up just after dawn.
It was the giant tree he was desperately trying to save that disturbed the drifting fire's dream.
Now Jumu is still a little weak, but his spirit is much better, and he is kneeling motionless in front of the flowing fire, and behind Jumu are dozens of patriarchs who are friendly with the Buck Tribe.
Liuhuo was scratching his ears and cheeks a little now, and he was very depressed when he looked at the giant wood in front of him.
"Jumu, you said you were going to go to Chu with me, and you also said that you were going to fulfill your obligations, fulfill your father's unfulfilled obligations?" asked Flowing Fire.
Jumu nodded silently.
"Oh, Giant Tree. Last time you fought to save my life, you have done your duty, you have fulfilled your father's promise, and now you are free, and there is no oath to tie you anymore, why are you suffering?"
Jumu calmly looked at the Flowing Fire and said, "I used my life to fulfill the promise I made back then, but Lord Flowing Fire desperately saved my life... This shows that our family still owes a life to Lord Liuhuo, and since we owe it, we must pay it back, and there are no treacherous people in our warriors from the Bucks tribe..."
"Shhhh The heart said, your truth is too strong, and if I don't save you at that time, you can go to see the god of war with peace of mind.
"Giant Tree, I said what is good about you. Even if you want to follow me, you can't go to Chu State, now is not the time for a showdown with the enemy, if I take you there, I will immediately give the enemy an excuse to attack me..."
"Besides, your body is still so weak, even if you come to me, you won't be able to help me. You'd better recuperate in the vast mountains... Don't worry, one day, I will send someone to come to the vast mountain in person to ask you to come out of the mountain to help..."
Speaking of which, Flowing Fire looked at Elder Fangs and whispered, "Elder, you can help me persuade the giant tree..."
Elder Fangs lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled narrowly, "Since Lord Flowing Fire believes in me, then I will call the shots... Jumu, it's really not appropriate for you to go to Chu State now, on the one hand, your health is not good, and on the other hand, it will also cause trouble to adults..."
"Well, I've decided. Outside the vast city, a separate area was carved out as the territory of Lord Flowing Fire. Giant Tree, you will stay in this territory... I remember that Lord Driftfire had done a blessing ceremony for children in many tribes before, so you can gather all those children together and form a new tribe..."
"That's great, on the one hand, you can help Lord Driftfire train them, and on the other hand, Lord Driftfire can also find you..."
As soon as Elder Fang's words fell, dozens of patriarchs applauded, "Not bad, not bad, this is a good idea... It is said that more than 50 years ago, the son of the previous god of war also blessed many giants, although most of them are gone, but their descendants are still there, and they have all sent them over..."
"Good idea, I think the totem of the tribe will be directly calculated with the God of War armor, and only the tribe of the Lord of Flowing Fire is qualified to use the God of War armor as a totem..."
The giants were talking about the flow of fire and planning, and the flow of fire became an outsider, and they listened stupidly to the group of patriarchs who were there to help him plan.
What is the situation? My dignified god of light, the lord of Peishui, has now become a tribal leader in the vast mountains?
Who said that the giants have big heads and no brains, aren't they ghosts and ghosts? This is to tie me to death here, they are afraid that I will be like my master, and I will never return, so first make a righteous name and tie me to death.
What are you going to do next? It's not going to be a giant woman for me, is it? Oh my god, I might as well die.
Liuhuo guessed right, the giants were still going to call him a daughter-in-law.
"Lord Liuhuo is the son of the god of war, and he is also a member of our Vast Mountain Patriarch, how can there not be a daughter-in-law of the Vast Mountain... I propose to introduce Lord Flowing Fire to the most beautiful girl in the Vast Mountains..."
Liuhuo is already in tears, no, I don't want to marry a three-meter-tall woman. Is it me who her, or who me?
God of War, help me...
