Chapter 434: Encircled on all sides
The shorter leader nodded and said, "When we were locked up in the dungeon, we often heard the dragon's groan. ”
"Have you ever seen that dragon with your own eyes?" I pressed on.
"Not really." The shorter leader shook his head.
At this time, the tall leader on the side said with disdain: "Actually, no one has ever seen that dragon, only the people of their family said that there is a dragon locked in that water prison, and I don't know if it's true." ”
"Of course it's true, my ancestors have seen it with their own eyes!"
"Humph! I think it's clear that your ancestors deliberately fooled people! ”
"What do you say! You dare to slander my ancestors, believe it or not, I will hack you now! ”
As the two of them talked, they quarreled, and they both their fellows, and put on a posture ready to make a move, and at this moment, a leader with gray hair and beard standing beside the old black head shouted: "Don't quarrel! Your two families have been fighting for hundreds of years, are you still killing each other! ”
The two seemed to have some scruples about the white-bearded old man, and although they picked up the guy, they didn't do anything, and they didn't quarrel anymore, but they still glared at each other.
The white-bearded old man continued: "The most important thing for us now is to be united! If anyone provokes any more disputes, it will be against our old Wu family! ”
As soon as I heard him say the old Wu family, I immediately understood who this person was, he must be the leader of the old black head family, the old black head had told us before that his family was the most powerful among the slave families, and it was no wonder that those two leaders had scruples about him.
Although some people questioned the rumors of a dragon locked in the water prison, I thought it was very likely to be true, so I asked the short chieftain leader, "You just said that your ancestors had seen that dragon?" What's going on? ”
The short leader told us: "More than 300 years ago, my ancestor found that the water prison was connected to the Yin Lake, so he planned to escape through the water prison, he organized dozens of people at that time, stole the key to open the water prison from the guards, and found an opportunity to open the water prison iron door, but just as they were about to dive into the pool, a huge dragon emerged from the water. Everyone was frightened at the time, but fortunately the dragon's neck and limbs were chained with thick chains, so they were able to retreat, and no one dared to set foot in the water prison again. ”
Hearing him say this, the old ghost muttered on the side: "Didn't you say that the dragon is actually transformed by spiritual energy and can change at will, in that case, how can it be locked by iron chains?" ”
The reason why the old ghost said this was obviously because he saw that the silver dragon could change at will, and when he said this, the tall leader suddenly came to his senses, and immediately shouted: "Listen, this benevolent prince has said that the iron chain can't lock the dragon at all!" So, your ancestors are clearly lying! ”
The old ghost obviously didn't expect his inadvertent words to cause a dispute again, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I'll just say this, in fact, I don't know much about dragons, if you want to talk about dragons, then you have to ask this kid!" He said as he pointed at me.
Immediately everyone turned to look at me, and I fixed my mind and said, "The dragon is a divine beast, theoretically speaking, ordinary iron chains can't lock the dragon, but there are exceptions, that is, when its power is suppressed by something. I once saw a dragon chained to a stone pillar. ”
After listening to my words, the short leader seemed to be greatly encouraged, glared at the tall leader, and said very proudly: "How is it! Engong's words prove that my ancestors did not speak, and there is clearly a dragon locked in the water prison! ”
I was afraid that they would continue to quarrel, so I hurriedly said, "Don't argue about it, in fact, there is no way to prove whether there is a dragon there, after all, none of you have seen it." Either way, you've provided a very important clue that we may be able to sneak into the Sirius Castle through this underwater tunnel. ”
"Then aren't you afraid of that demon dragon?" The short leader asked, not without concern.
Without waiting for me to answer, the old ghost said on the side: "Don't worry, don't say it's a locked dragon, even if it's not locked, the dragon won't hurt him!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all looked at me in shock, as if they couldn't believe it.
As we were talking, Xie Yunfei ran over panting, and shouted at us from afar, "The evil demon has been killed!" Everyone, go for reinforcements! ”
Everyone immediately swarmed in the direction of the city gate. Seeing this posture, Wen Qingshan hurriedly shouted: "Don't worry, everyone! We don't fight the demons, we don't need so many people to rush to the front. ”
However, the slaves were in high spirits, and no one listened to Wen Qingshan's words, and at this moment, the whitebearded leader suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Stop me!" ”
What I didn't expect was that he seemed to be very old, but he was still full of energy, and his voice was not ordinarily loud, it could be said that the voice was like a bell, and I stood next to him, and my ears were shaken.
The sound echoed in the canyon for a long time, and when all the slaves heard it, they all stopped, and turned their heads to look. The whitebeard leader walked unhurriedly to a big rock, stood down, glanced around, and said loudly: "Don't mess around, everyone, listen to Engong's arrangement!" Speaking of this, the whitebeard leader turned his head to look at Wen Qingshan.
Wen Qingshan was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, and hurriedly said loudly: "Our purpose is to defend against the danger and keep the demons out, and now that there are enough people on the city tower, everyone doesn't need to rush to the city gate." I built a brother who can shoot arrows to be prepared, with a group of thirty or fifty people, once the manpower on the castle tower suffers a loss and needs to be replenished, a group of people will go up to reinforce it. ”
After listening to what Wen Qingshan said, the white-bearded leader said loudly: "Then according to Engong's arrangement, all those who can shoot arrows will be sent to the tunnel to wait, and the others will stand by." ”
The words of the Whitebeard leader were very useful, and soon many men with bows and crossbows on their backs walked towards the tunnel.
After some searching, the slaves found a cave dedicated to storing weapons, and there were many bows and crossbows in it, so many of them can now be said to be "fully armed".
After counting, there were more than 400 people carrying bows and crossbows, and under the coordination of Wen Qingshan, they were divided into ten groups, and each group had about forty people.
Wen Qingshan asked them to stand by under the city tower, while him, the old ghost, and Long Jiansheng hurriedly went up to the city tower.
At this time, the demons had not yet launched an attack on the fortress, the silver dragon was still hovering back and forth above the city tower, and from time to time let out a deafening long groan, and the slaves who had followed Xie Yunfei to help garrison the city tower were all staring at the silver dragon in mid-air, looking very nervous, perhaps in their eyes, the silver dragon was more terrifying than the evil demons. I looked around and found that Long Yi was standing in front of the city wall, looking into the distance with a solemn face, I hurriedly stepped forward and asked him, "Brother Long Yi, what is the situation now?" ”
Long Yi pointed to the surface of the lake ten meters away and said, "The owl monsters are gathering there, and there are quite a few of them!" ”
Looking in the direction he was pointing, he saw countless black shadows shuttling back and forth above the lake, although he couldn't see it very clearly, but needless to say, he knew that it must be an owl.
Ryuichi continued: "In addition, there are also human wolf beasts active at the mouth of the valley, and presumably the demon army of human wolf beasts is also rushing here. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Jiansheng on the side suddenly shouted, "Everyone be careful above your head!" ”
Hearing him say this, everyone raised their heads in unison.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, I was shocked when I saw it.
Because we are actually in an incomparably huge cave, so the top of our heads is not the sky, but the top of the cave, but the top of the cave is very high, even if we are now standing on the top of the city tower more than ten meters high, there are still about thirty or forty meters away from the top of the cave, so we didn't pay much attention to the situation on the top of the cave before, and now we found that there are things moving on the top of the cave, and there seem to be a lot of them.
I stared at them for a moment, and finally made out what they were, the giant spider we encountered in that evil stone tomb in the first place!
I never thought that there would be such a sinister thing in this hellish place, this giant spider is not easy to deal with, they are right above us right now, and if they fly off the top of the cave, our terrain advantage will not work at all.
The slaves on the tower of the city were all trembling when they saw the dense giant spiders on the roof of the cave, needless to say, they had encountered such giant spiders nine times out of ten, and they must have known the power of this terrifying creature.
Chen Biao immediately aimed his gun at the top of the cave and shouted, "Everyone get ready to shoot!" ”
Several special combat team members came back to their senses and immediately raised their guns.
Wen Qingshan hurriedly stopped: "Captain Chen, don't be in a hurry to fire first, these giant spiders, like those owl monsters, seem to have some scruples about the silver dragon, and they shouldn't dare to attack rashly, it's not too late to fire when we're ready!" ”
Speaking of this, Wen Qingshan turned his head to Xie Yunfei and said, "Brother Yunfei, you go to the old aconitum and talk to see if they can find a way to get some easy-to-burn oil?" ”
"Oily? What do you want this thing for? Xie Yunfei asked puzzled.
Wen Qingshan explained: "This giant spider has a fatal flaw, that is, it is afraid of fire, and the spider silk they spew out is extremely flammable, so if there is oil, we can ignite the arrows of the crossbow arrows and use them specifically to deal with these monsters." ”
"Okay! I'm going to talk to the old aconitum now! After Xie Yunfei finished speaking, he turned around and went down the city tower.
