Chapter 225: Siege and Harassment
It was close to the early hours of the morning, before dawn, and the roars of wild beasts came from outside the village, mixed with the shouts of humans, and the scene was noisy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When, when, when......
Alarm bells are ringing.
Wu Xin suddenly came to his senses: "Beast attack!?" ”
I got up quickly and got dressed.
At this moment, the old man had also woken up, and the two hurriedly walked out of the house.
It was very dark, and I vaguely saw the shadows of beasts, and a pair of creepy scarlet eyes flickered in the night, attacking the village.
At this time, the night watchman of the village immediately set up bows and arrows to counterattack after lighting bonfires all around.
When the villagers heard the siren, they all came out of their houses and joined the battle.
When Wu Xin arrived at the defense line formed by the thorny fence, some wild beasts had already broken through the rain of arrows and rushed forward.
At this time, the young people in the village took up spears and other weapons converted from agricultural tools to attack.
Roar ......
Ahh......hhh
Humans and beasts engage in the most primitive battles, and the scene is chaotic and full of blood.
However, despite the onslaught of these beasts, the village's defenses were always firmly restrained in their tracks. After all, every few years, there is such a thing as a herd attack, and how to deal with such a scene, these villagers show no less combat quality than well-trained soldiers.
Of course, the most important thing is that this is only the vanguard of the herd's harassment, and it is only a small part of the herd.
This battle did not last long, these beasts were only testing, the real large army had not yet been dispatched, and finally left some of the beasts' corpses, and they retreated.
Wu Xin looked into the depths of the darkness, the black shadow was longing, and a pair of blood-red eyes looked at this place coldly, it was the large army of beasts.
At this time, it is as if a very patient hunter has surrounded the entire small village from a safe distance, waiting for the prey to show its flaws.
Obviously, it has to be a last resort, and a move is a thunderbolt.
Seeing that the sky was lit up with white bellies, after this battle, the villagers naturally did not feel sleepy, and they were on guard while handling the corpses of the beasts around them.
As for some of the beast carcasses that were more distant, they had already been recovered by the herd.
Crunchy......
Without any hesitation, the beasts directly began to devour the corpses.
In the eyes of the villagers' dreams, their faces were a little unsightly.
Finally, the sky was bright, and the situation of the beasts was clearly presented in front of everyone's eyes.
"Hiss~"
Looking at the situation in front of him, Wu Xin's pupils shrank violently and he gasped.
This group of beasts is clearly divided into two groups, one group is all gray wolves, and the other group is mixed with dragons and snakes, tigers, lions, and Shiba dogs...... Most of the normal carnivores are here.
At a glance, there are probably hundreds.
Moreover, in the forests and in the depths of the grasslands, a steady stream of wild beasts gathered.
Even so, the beasts were restrained and did not cause any chaos.
If this trend continues, when the size of the herd reaches a certain level, it will be a disaster for such a small village that can reach a thousand people.
No wonder the old man was so pessimistic.
Fortunately, according to the old man, according to the old practice, the number of these beasts will not continue to grow uncontrollably, and the peak will be close to four or five hundred.
And now the beasts from the forest and the wolves from the steppe are moving together, and the number is likely to exceed the 1,000 mark.
At this moment, the villagers had finished cleaning up the battlefield.
Next, some people continued to be vigilant, some people rested, and the rest of the people quickly disposed of the carcasses of these beasts, after all, once the beasts surrounded the village, they would often engage in a protracted war, and the more food and other reserves, the better.
……
At midnight the second night.
Whew-whew-whew
A long wolf howl kicked off the second battle between humans and beasts.
This time, it was the wolf pack that made up the majority of the members of the harassment force this time.
Whoosh!
One after another, gray wolves rushed through the rain of arrows like ghosts in the dark night.
Compared to another wave of beasts from the forest, these gray wolves not only move like the wind, but also cooperate with each other, which is more difficult.
In front of the thorny fence, the wolves and the villagers began to make contact.
Relying on the thorn fence as a line of defense, the villagers firmly occupied the initiative, but the gray wolves also did not show weakness, did not force the attack, but roamed very cunningly.
With the reflexes of ordinary people, they can't keep up with the speed of these gray wolves at all.
At this moment, the scene became deadlocked.
Seeing this, there was another howl from the wolves, and another group of gray wolves broke away from the large group and rushed out to this side.
Moreover, among this group of gray wolves, a head wolf that is larger than an ordinary gray wolf is very eye-catching, and the other gray wolves are all surrounding it, and the momentum is violent.
If this group of gray wolves joins, I'm afraid the scales will start to tip in favor of the wolves. For a while, most of the people in the distance were ready to move, and if there was a leak in the villagers' defenses, they would launch a general attack.
Sou!
In the midst of this noisy scene, a buzzing sound that pierced the air rang out, even drowning out all the sounds.
Laugh at!
In the night sky, it was like a flash of lightning, and almost instantly, he came to the huge gray wolf.
There was no time to react, there was a "poof", and blood mixed with brains splashed.
Whew-whew-whew
There was a terrible howl, and a javelin was suddenly inserted into the body of the huge gray wolf from its eye socket.
The gray wolf roared in great pain, staggered, and finally fell to the ground with a "boom".
With this amazing scene, both the beasts and the villagers were stunned, and the scene fell eerily quiet.
No one thought that at this moment of stalemate, seeing the reinforcements that this group of gray wolves received, the situation became more and more complicated, and as a result, as soon as the gray wolf who was obviously a wolf appeared, he didn't even have a chance to get close to the defense line, and was directly killed.
For a moment, his eyes converged on the inverted figure that had made this attack.
Wu Xin shook his wrist, not caring about this kind of gaze at all. Although his physical abilities were limited, after absorbing the genes of hundreds of mutated beasts, the characteristics of those beasts had become his instincts.
This mystical power restricts obvious physical abilities such as strength and speed.
There is no limit to this feature.
Immediately after that, he picked up a javelin again.
Watching his movements, the other villagers were in a good mood, but on the other hand, the beast side suddenly became chaotic.
The wolf is a very disciplined beast, and the fall of the gray wolf, which is clearly a wolf, is a fatal blow to the morale of these gray wolves.
At this moment, Wu Xin's eyes were once again fixed on a gray wolf moving at high speed.
This gray wolf seems to be a mutant, much faster than the other gray wolves, constantly moving, causing a lot of trouble for the defense line.
But under his super dynamic vision, there is nothing to hide. Every action is clearly presented in the mind.
Sou!
The light in his eyes skyrocketed, and he suddenly threw the javelin in his hand.
The javelin streaked an eerie streak in the night sky, like a flash of lightning.
Laugh at!
There was another terrible wolf howl, and the mutant's eye was pierced.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Xin did not stop at all.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
In one breath, he threw all the remaining eight javelins.
Each time, the most difficult beasts were targeted, and they were stabbed in the eye with great precision, and none of them were caught.
Call!
After doing this, Wu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and loosened his arm.
In this state of throwing with all his might, I can't help but be a little tired.
Still, his actions were well worth it.
With his help, the situation on the field has become clear, and the human side has taken the absolute initiative.
Seeing this, the large army of beasts that were originally about to move once again suppressed their impulses.
Soon, the beasts left some of their corpses behind and fled back in disgrace.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the beast retreat.
At this time, they all looked at Wu Xin.
These people knew very well that the reason why they were able to block the temptation of the beast herd at such a small cost this time was that Wu Xin was definitely the biggest project.
At this moment, the gaze that looked at him was completely different, and it was obvious that Wu Xin's previous actions had completely conquered these people.
However, Wu Xin was a little strange, these beasts were just harassing, and they had already caused so much trouble to these villagers, why didn't they attack them directly.
If all the beasts were dispatched, Wu Xin didn't think that such a rudimentary defense would be able to stop these beasts.
Of course, this village can withstand the attack of the beast herd once every few years, and it is clear that there is some kind of hidden means.
Now, that's just the beginning.
Whether it is the human side or the beast herd, they are gritting their teeth and insisting, which side has to show the hole cards first, which is equivalent to falling into the disadvantage.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was the seventh day that the beasts had surrounded the village.
These days, the herd is constantly sending small groups of beasts to harass, trying to force the human side to show their flaws, and at the same time they are constantly accumulating strength.
After waves of attrition, the defenses formed by thorny fences around the village were almost full of holes.
Around the defensive line, blood stained the ground red, and an indissoluble smell of blood wafted through the air.
Such a war of attrition, whether on the side of humans or beasts, the consumption of mental and physical strength is very huge.
Finally, the number of beasts has reached its peak. Seeing that he has never been able to break through the defense line of the small village, after all, it is just a group of beasts, and he can no longer suppress the beast nature at this time.
At midnight on this day, the large army of the beasts was completely dispatched.
The sound of messy footsteps, mixed with a roar, a pair of scarlet eyes stared over like ghost fire, black and oppressive, and the army pressed the city.
It seems that this tragic atmosphere is felt, and the moonlight in the sky is also hidden in the dark clouds, the light is dim, and the atmosphere is becoming more and more oppressive.

The bonfire was blazing, and all the villagers on the line clenched their weapons. (To be continued.) )
