Volume 3: The One Who Should Think About It Chapter 100: Fighting the Feather Clan
The patriarch of the Huahai clan and others were standing at the door, and there were some strange trees growing on the north side of the door, some were light steel oak trees, some were spark pear trees, and some were flax trees, they stood at the door and looked outside, looking nervous at this time, as if facing a great enemy.
In the forest space outside, I don't know when a big bird has stopped, but when I look closely, where is the big bird, it is clearly a birdman with wings, this is actually the legendary feather people.
The tribe is located in the north of the bottomless ravine, and there is a winding and rugged mountain road that leads from west to east from the central valley to the tribe. And beyond the tribe to the east, there is no road in the mountains, and certainly no other tribes pass through. To the east is the traditional hunting grounds of the tribesmen, with mountains and jungles stretching endlessly, but technically speaking, there are no other tribes further afield.
In the extremely remote place to the east of the tribe, at the end of the valley and in the primeval jungle in the high mountains, there is still a demon tribe, known as the Feather Nation since ancient times. It is said that they are the descendants of the ancient demons, the appearance is different from ordinary people, the body is not tall, the size of adults is similar to the teenagers in normal people, and what is more special is that they all have a pair of wings on their backs.
The wings of the feathered people grow at the shoulder blades of a normal person, and a pair of long wings hang down from the shoulders to the calf, with soft hairs on the inside and long hard feathers on the outside and edges, and the width of the fully spread is more than twice its height. It is said that he did not build a house on the ground, but lived in a giant nest in a towering tree.
Unlike ordinary bird's nests, their nests are sturdy and have roofs that provide shelter from the wind and rain in the mountains, much like tree houses. Others say that when they fall asleep, they lie on their stomachs, and that the pair of wings is covered by a quilt.
The feather people live in treehouses on high places, which is not only a habit of their ancestors but also safe, and the main reason is that they can fly. Despite their small stature, they are significantly heavier than their flying birds, so they are not able to fly long distances at high altitudes. However, they have particularly well-developed muscles in their chest, back and upper limbs, and they can fly a short distance by flapping their wings hard, and can spread their wings and glide far along the air currents at high altitudes.
Therefore, the valleys and ravines were not an insurmountable barrier for them, and they did not need to build bridges and open roads. The Yu people live in the deep mountains and forests, and there are no roads leading to the treehouse villages nearby, which is extremely difficult for outsiders to reach, and they are almost isolated from the rest of the world.
However, the Yu people are not completely insensitive to outsiders, they sometimes need to exchange things with other tribes, and a group of clansmen led by the patriarch Da Mao flew long distances to the central valley. Its patriarch Chang Mao is the most special person in the feather nation, and he was able to practice in the early years when he entered the initial realm, and now his magical power is not weak, and what is even more amazing is that he can change his body.
Da Mao's original body is the same as the clansmen, and he can fly with a pair of wings, but after he lands, he can transform his appearance, the wings disappear no different from ordinary people, his body is similar to that of a normal person, and his facial features have also become less weird. Da Mao is a monk of the Four Realms, and it is said that only by breaking through the Four Realms can the demon clan master this supernatural power change.
Every once in a long time, Da Mao would lead a group of clansmen to the Central Valley to exchange goods with other tribes. Therefore, the various tribes also know that there is such a strange demon clan in the deep mountains, but they rarely see the people of the Feather Nation most of the time. This demon clan also hardly has any other dealings with foreign clans, let alone intermarriage.
Of course, the feather people are not birds, they are also human, they have the intelligence to speak, can process and use tools, and work collectively, but because of their strange appearance, they have characteristics that ordinary people do not have, so they are called demon tribes. According to some people who have occasionally touched the Yu people, the adult Yu people not only have a body like a teenager, but also have a similar brain, and they are a little stupid when they talk and do things.
The Yu people usually deal with foreign races, and they are all represented by the patriarch Mao. And this patriarch looks no different from ordinary people, and he should be the most capable, knowledgeable, and intelligent person in this demon clan. In addition to the Feather Nation, there are several other demon clans in the depths of the wilderness in this area, each with its own characteristics, but basically they rarely have contact with foreign races, and the Feather Nation is the only one who can fly.
For such a demon clan, normal people will inevitably have a feeling that they are not of my race when they see it, but in such a wilderness, everyone is not surprised. When the tribesmen went out hunting, if they went far to the edge of the hunting ground that had been active in the depths of the jungle, they would occasionally encounter the Feather Tribesmen flying by. But they hardly interact with people, let alone say hello, and have been largely safe for hundreds of years.
What the Huahai patriarch saw at this moment was the people of the Yu people, they landed on the Qinggang giant tree in the mountain behind the tribe, there were more than 120 people densely packed, and all of them were carrying weapons, and they were obviously not good. This is a situation that no one expected, even if the wise mountain master has made all kinds of preparations to deal with the conflict in the wilderness, he would never have expected today's scene.
Today, the large-scale formal conflict in the Central Valley is finally coming, and the mountain lord and the water girl are not in the village, and even Xiaotian has been taken away. The people of the two tribes not only gathered the fifty-one warriors who had been trained to open the mountain, but also urgently summoned two hundred strong men who had been trained in the military formation to form the other two flank military formations.
This is the arrangement of the mountain master, as long as the formation is enough to have the power to win, and it is of course the best to win without a fight in the end. But in this way, the village became empty, and Ruoshan did not dare to be careless, leaving behind the two masters of Huahai Patriarch and Shu Zhuang, and about fifty strong men who had been trained in combat to take care of the house.
Leaving the Huahai Patriarch and these people is just in case, because the forces of Youyu Village are also gathered in the Central Valley, and it is impossible to cross the Savage Trail to invade the tribe and Huahai Village. But a few years ago, Yuliang sneaked nearby with an elite team, and the mountain master had to guard against the recurrence of Yucun's old tricks, and he couldn't let people take advantage of it.
Two masters and fifty sturdy men who have been trained in combat are enough to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations, and Shan Ye and the others have no worries in the Central Valley.
However, the Huahai Patriarch was a little unimpressed by this arrangement of the Mountain Master, because the roads in and out of the two clans had long been strictly monitored, and Youyu Village had gathered all its forces, so it was impossible to send any elite small teams to sneak attack. Even if you want to send someone to take care of the house, according to the convention, you should leave Shui Gu, how can you leave yourself, the patriarch of Huahai Village?
But Shui Gu insisted on going to the bottom of the central valley with the mountain master, of course the Huahai patriarch couldn't compete with her, and at the same time had to be convinced, Shui Gu's ability was indeed much greater than herself. Although the Huahai patriarch thought that the mountain master was doing this too much, he still left twenty warriors in Huahai Village to guard according to the agreed plan, and he himself brought another thirty people who were fully armed to the tribal garrison, and by the way, he took a look at his daughter and son-in-law Shu Zhuang.
The Huahai Patriarch never expected that Youyu Village really had a more sinister arrangement. This is not a sneak attack by a small team, but an attack with the strength of the clan, no matter what the battle situation in the central valley is, the clan and Huahai Village may be wiped out today. Who would have thought that there were so many enemies, and that they didn't have to walk at all, they flew from the other direction!
These people left behind in the two villages are by no means the opponents of the Yu Nation! The Huahai Patriarch knows this very well in his heart, but he can't show a look of fear, let alone turn around and escape, at this moment he is the backbone of the people left behind by the two clans, even if he is desperate, he must do his best to resist the attack of the Yu Nation.
The Huahai Patriarch issued a warning and led thirty warriors to prepare to meet the enemy, and Shu Zhuang beside him blew the bamboo whistle. There are several such bamboo whistles, which were made by Shui Gu herself, and the first one was given to Baoyu, which was used to issue alarms from a distance. The whistle that Shu Zhuang blew was long and sharp, and after a while, two whistles came back faintly from Huahai Village, which seemed relatively short.
Huahai Village's response said that they had been alerted, but they had not yet found an invading enemy over there.
At the same time as the whistle sounded, the feather people on the Qinggang giant tree also suddenly moved. They were going to sneak attack, but now that they have alarmed each other, and these two villages are obviously on guard, let's do it quickly. Suddenly there was a sparkling fire on the giant green wood, and it was they who lit the thing tied to the shaft of the arrow.
The Huahai patriarch was taken aback again, how could the people of the Yu nationality, who had always been very stupid, become so smart today that they knew how to attack with rockets from a high place first? It must be that Da Mao patriarch who gave the order! The houses of the tribe are all made of wood and stone, and most of the walls are made of stones mined in the mountains, and some are also supported by wooden pillars, but the roofs are all paved with wooden planks, covered with woven straw curtains and pressed stones, and once they are hit by rockets, it is easy to ignite a fire.
The Yu people are on the high slope of the giant tree outside the village, the distance is very far, and the bows and arrows of the tribe and the warriors of Huahai Village can't shoot there at all, but the Yu people are condescending, and they can shoot at the village when they shoot towards the sky. Seeing that the situation was not good, the patriarch of the sea of flowers shouted again: "Disperse!"
The thirty heavily armed warriors behind him quickly left the center of the clearing, hiding under the surrounding eaves. The Flower Sea Patriarch reacted quickly just now, and immediately gathered the team when he noticed the movement, but when he saw the Yu Nation igniting the rocket from a high place, he realized that he had made a mistake.
The arrangement of the Huahai patriarch just now is to gather the clansmen to guard the gate of the village, and when they encounter large beasts in the mountains, the hunting formation is also like this. But today's enemy is the feather people, they can fly, although they can't fly high in the sky for a long time, but it is okay to fly high in a short time, if they shoot bows and arrows condescendingly, it is difficult for the warriors to fight back, standing in the open space is simply a target.
The Flower Sea Patriarch used all his strength for this arrow, and the muscles of his whole body beat like a swimming snake, and all the cultivation mana was condensed. The Monk of the Three Realms can control the arrow even if he doesn't use a bow, but it doesn't have the most powerful attack power, and he can't control it beyond a certain distance. With the power of a hard bow, supplemented by supernatural mana, the arrows shot are the farthest, most lethal, and quite accurate!
The Patriarch of the Flower Sea could shoot arrows at those Qinggang giant trees, and he was going to shoot one of them. Fang Cai had already seen clearly that all the people on the giant tree had wings on their backs and leather coats around their waists, and only one person looked no different from a normal person, that is, the patriarch who commanded in the center. If you can shoot him, there is a glimmer of hope of saving the village, and even if you can't shoot him, you must contain this person.
The arrow shot by the Huahai Patriarch is generally impossible for people to dodge, because within the range of mana control, this arrow can even deflect and accelerate. Da Mao's face changed slightly, and he also drew a two-foot short bow and shot an arrow with a whoosh. The two arrows collided impartially in the air, and the shafts of the arrows exploded, and the clusters of arrows flew somewhere.
The arrow of the Huahai patriarch failed to succeed, and the arrow of the Yu nation was also shot, and more than 100 rockets lit up arcs, falling into the village like a smoking rain of fire. The Patriarch of the Flower Sea only felt a chill in his heart, no matter how advanced his imperial method was, he couldn't block so many rockets at such a distance and in such a large range, not to mention that the big hair on the giant tree had already stared at him.
Da Mao had already seen that the Huahai Patriarch was the leader of the defenders in the village and the most difficult to fight, the first arrow blocked the attack, and quickly shot the second arrow, with a screaming sound to try to shoot the Huahai Patriarch through the chest. The Patriarch of the Flower Sea let out a shout and shot another arrow, and the two arrows exchanged blows not far in front of him, and he was shocked back by the stirring force.
The more than 100 rockets had already fallen, and since the position where the Huahai Patriarch was standing had been too conspicuous recently, more than a dozen of them were fired at him. Shu Zhuang jumped in front of the Huahai patriarch with a shout, and the two shuttle spears in his hands waved like a whirlwind, knocking down all these arrows.
The Huahai patriarch did not look back at the situation in the village, he knew very well that it was useless for him to turn back, the Yu people among the people of the Yu nationality set fire to the house, just to drive everyone to the open space outside the house, with Da Mao's ability, he can definitely shoot a person with an arrow, then he must contain this person, even if he is defeated in the end, he must give the people in the village more opportunities to escape.
The Patriarch of Huahai took out a shuttle spear that Shu Zhuang had inserted beside him, and threw it towards Da Mao in the distance, using not only arm strength, but also the magic power of the Imperial Object. The shuttle spear was much heavier than the arrow, and the Huahai patriarch saw that Da Mao had no other weapons at hand except for bows and arrows to resist.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Da Mao's mouth, and with a wave of his hand, he broke a branch with the thickness of a bowl, and flew out to meet the whistling shuttle gun. The branch was smashed in the air, and the shuttle gun was still shooting at him, and Da Mao waved his hand again and slashed in the air, and the shuttle gun was forcibly twisted to the side by a force in the air, and just flew by.
However, at this time, Da Mao's sneer suddenly froze, and his pupils were also contracting, and the rockets shot by the Yu people did fly into the village, because the distance was very long, they almost reached the limit of the range, and they were not very accurate, but at least dozens of them were inserted on the roof, but they did not ignite the fire as he expected.
It was too far away, and the scene of a rain of fire falling was spectacular but also a bit chaotic, and besides, the burning rocket left a lot of smoke in the flight path, so the other feather people didn't see what was going on. The Huahai Patriarch and Shu Zhuang turned their backs to the village, concentrating on dealing with the enemy in front of them, and did not notice what was happening in the village.
The rockets fell, but they didn't hit a single person or set a roof on fire.
There is water in the village, and a hole is dug under the wall on one side to lead the mountain spring into the village, and two connected pools are dug next to the open space, the first pool is the water that the villagers usually quote, and the second larger pool is the place where various things are usually washed. Just as a rocket fell, a whirlpool suddenly rolled up in the pool water, and a wave flew out, turning into dozens of fist-sized droplets in the air. If you count carefully, there are thirty-seven water droplets, which is exactly the number of rockets that will fall on the roof.
The person who performed this spell was of course Baoyu, a game that he and Xiao Tian had been familiar with for a long time in the Taihao Ruins. At this moment, Baoyu is sitting in the hut with his eyes closed, only controlling everything in what the Yuan Shen sees. Transparent water droplets flew away, just in time for the rockets.
The droplets of water that condensed in an instant did not have any other power, and were immediately pierced by the rocket, but the fire was extinguished. The arrows were castrated a little, but they still hit the roof, stuck through the grass curtain and stuck in the planks without causing any damage. There were also many arrows shot in the clearing, and the things tied to the shafts of the arrows were still burning, but Baoyu ignored them.
Baoyu felt quite difficult to sit in the room, but fortunately, the people in the open space had already dispersed, otherwise he would not have been able to block so many arrows in the air. Although the power of the Imperial Object is magical, the control of objects must be within the reach of the divine sense, and the farther away you are, the less power you can control. In the same way, the more things you want to control, the more difficult it becomes, and the more each force you separate, the more you want to weaken, let alone the invisible thing like water.
If only a few arrows are shot not far away, Baoyu can sit in the middle of the house and fix them in the air, but with so many arrows falling in such a large area, Baoyu has no way under normal circumstances. He could only unfold his primordial spirit in the fixed realm to maintain absolute sobriety, clearly perceive everything that was happening, and instantly urged the water in the pool with the method of imperial objects.
A person has two hands, and if he reacts quickly and judges accurately, he can block two flying things at the same time. And Baoyu is equivalent to stretching out thirty-seven invisible hands at this moment, controlling thirty-seven drops of water droplets. Some of those arrows were close and some were far away, and it was unimaginable to meet them accurately in an instant, but Baoyu still did it, not to block the arrows, but to extinguish the fire.
Such a subtle supernatural means can be called the ultimate in the consummation state of the Three Realms and Nine Transformations, and the power of imperial objects. Its real brilliance in the eyes of the great grandmaster is not how powerful the magic power is, but the absolute clarity of the primordial god and the extreme subtlety of the use of mana, which is almost perfect in the realm that can be achieved.
People stretch out two hands to receive two things at the same time, of course, it is not as stable and accurate as just one thing, and the same is true for the work of imperial objects. And Baoyu instantly caught thirty-seven things almost at the same time, which is impossible for ordinary five senses to induce and react consciously, and can only be sensed and manipulated by the primordial spirit. Baoyu is not single-minded and thirty-seven, but these thirty-seven actions are all from one heart and one thought.
Even a monk who is much higher than the Baoyu realm, such as Ruoshan, would not be able to do this with only the power of the imperial objects in the three realms, and he would have to use other supernatural means to deal with it. However, Ruoshui, who can manipulate Gesi to spin into water cloth in the air, is slightly inferior to Ruoshan's realm and mana, but it should be able to do it if he is well prepared.
Baoyu performed the imperial skill in this way, which was to imitate Shui Gu to weave water cloth intentionally or unintentionally, because he had seen it with his own eyes back then. But now although Shui Gu can do it, if it is changed to many years ago, she who is also the consummation of the three realms and nine transformations, and has not yet broken through the four realms, she can't do it. What's more, when Shui Gu is weaving the water cloth, it is not such an urgent and dangerous situation, as long as she is ready to cast spells with peace of mind.
The flames of the arrows shot on the roof were all extinguished, and everyone present didn't even realize it except for the tallest cultivator, Da Mao. The thirty warriors led by the Huahai patriarch had dispersed and hid under the eaves around the clearing, so naturally they couldn't see the situation on the roof, and many of the arrows shot in the open space were still carrying fire, and there was still a lot of smoke floating over the village.
Da Mao was very puzzled, I don't know what happened, the people of Nanlu Village had prepared in advance and poured water on the straw curtains on the roof, so those straw curtains happened to be soaking wet, but how could they expect that the Yu people would use rockets? Da Mao's vision was also blocked by smoke and dust, and he himself was being entangled by the Huahai Patriarch like a desperate battle, and the transparent water droplets that were scattered in the distance were extremely difficult to find, so he didn't see clearly.
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the direction of the valley cliff on the other side of the road village, and if you carefully distinguish that it was actually two loud noises at the same time, and then the feather people on the Qinggang oak tree fluttered their wings and flew up. The shocked Huahai Patriarch suddenly felt a sense of powerless despair, and he realized what had happened - the wooden bridge on the cliff was destroyed.
I didn't expect the people of the Yu nationality, who had very low intelligence, to arrange such a strict plan under the command of the patriarch Da Mao this time. A large number of clansmen first appeared on the back hill in the north of the village, completely attracting the attention of the village, and some people took the opportunity to sneak to the other side of the valley and destroy the wooden bridge, cutting off the connection between Lu Village and Huahai Village.
No matter how good the Huahai patriarch is, he can't help but look back at this moment. In the south of Lu Village, on the other side of the valley, there were also more than a dozen figures flapping their wings and flying towards the sky above the village, and more than 120 people of the Yu nationality on the back mountain had already condescendingly flew over the village, all holding short bows in their hands.
Because of the needs of these winged birdmen, they have wide wings, but they are short in stature, so they cannot pull large bows in the air, and can only use special small bows. However, although their attack is small, but the power is not small, this bowstring is very hard, only people with a lot of arm strength can pull it away, and this bird-man clan, because they are born with strong arms, so these workers are very suitable for him. And because they fly in the sky and fight, they are condescending and occupy a natural advantage, so it is difficult to deal with.
