readx;? The roar was sharp and piercing, like millions of ghosts crying in unison, which was terrifying. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The 200,000 war horses ridden by the 100,000 soldiers of the Great Shang Empire and the 100,000 soldiers of the Great Zhou Empire suddenly stood up their manes and froze in place, as if they were carved clay sculptures of wood.
They were so frightened that they forgot to jump and hiss.
Only the peerless shadow ridden by Wang Yu, the invisible horse ridden by Youjiu Niang, and the one-horned black horse ridden by Shang Tianxing kept stepping in place, looking extremely uneasy.
The gluttonous beast also quickly closed its mouth, and a frightened expression appeared in its two blood-red giant eyes.
The 200,000 people who had just entered the valley were also stunned.
But the roar faded in a moment's time, and there was no echo in the wide, empty valley.
200,000 people came to their senses, as if they had just had a nightmare.
"This is the echo of the roar of the gluttonous beast just now, and the valley is empty, and the echoes are superimposed, and they will be louder than the original. ”
"Maybe two hundred years ago, the corpses of millions of soldiers were devoured by the fierce beasts of this valley of ten thousand beasts, and the souls of the dead gathered in this valley. ”
......
Many people exchanged words and talked about each other.
Shang Tianxing turned his head to look at Yin Tianci who was following behind him, and frowned slightly.
Yin Tianci hurriedly sat down on the horse's belly with a gentle grip on his legs and came to his side.
Shang Tianxing asked in a low voice, "Sect Master Yin, in this Ten Thousand Beasts Valley, in addition to millions of fierce beasts, is there any other demon beast that can't be found?"
Yin Tianci whispered: "Back to Your Majesty, I came to this valley yesterday to check, and I didn't find any demon beasts. ”
Shang Tianxing turned his head with a calm face.
Yin Tianci silently retreated to the side of Shang Rong, the princess of Dashang.
The bald man rode on the gluttonous back and looked back at Shang Tianxing.
Shang Tianxing nodded at him and motioned for him to move on.
The bald man turned his head and gently touched his stomach with his two bare feet.
The gluttony hesitated for a while before taking another big stride, walking step by step towards the depths of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Shang Tianxing led the 100,000 iron horsemen of the Great Shang to follow.
To the east of the deep ravine, Wang Yu also led the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Great Zhou Empire and continued to march towards the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
There were also some wild boars and deer near the mouth of the valley, but just now the gluttonous beasts roared, and those beasts ran away in the blink of an eye, and if they wanted to hunt and make a profit, they could only march to the depths of the valley.
The entrance to the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts is very wide, and although the hunting range of the Great Zhou is designated as the eastern half of the deep ravine in the middle of the valley, it is still several miles wide from the deep ravine to the high mountain in the east.
Wang Yu immediately issued an order to let the 100,000 Great Zhou Iron Cavalry disperse in formation and search forward in a half-moon shape, so that once a wild beast is found, it can be quickly rounded up and killed.
Due to the unpredictability in this Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, the roar that came from the depths of the valley just now still made people's hearts palpitate, and he asked the soldiers on both sides of the formation not to rush forward too much for the time being.
To the west of the deep ravine, the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Great Shang still maintained a compact formation, and under the leadership of that gluttonous beast, they almost went hand in hand with the iron cavalry of the Great Zhou.
The two teams of men and horses slowly marched towards the depths of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, and on the strange rocky mid-mountain to the west of the valley, a huge lizard more than two feet long suddenly jumped onto a boulder.
The lizard was covered in black scales all over its body, and a pair of bat-like black wings folded on its back.
It was a winged lizard, which had been sleeping in the depths of the cave in the middle of the mountain, and was awakened by the loud roar just now, and only then crawled out of the cave in a daze.
A few days ago, the winged lizard had devoured a bison in the valley, and had been sleeping in the cave for many days, and now that the food in its belly had been digested, and it was feeling hungry, when it suddenly saw so many people and horses in the valley, and immediately jumped out of the boulder into the valley.
It leaped more than a dozen feet, was in mid-air, and unfolded the pair of fleshy wings on its back.
The pair of wings were wide and tough, two feet long when unfolded, and four feet together, and although the body of the winged lizard was thick, this pair of meat wings was larger, like a bat, and did not appear clumsy at all.
Like a giant black ghost, the winged lizard swooped down swiftly towards the great merchant horse that was moving in the valley.
Thousands of the soldiers of the Great Shang discovered this monster and immediately exclaimed in unison.
There were hundreds of archers among the thousands, but before they could stretch their bows and arrows, the winged lizard had already flown close to the great merchant horse, and suddenly opened its long, blood-red mouth, revealing a mouth full of jagged fangs, and bit down on the nearest samurai.
The warrior was looking elsewhere just now, when he heard the exclamation and turned his head, and before the long sword in his hand could be unsheathed, it was bitten by the winged lizard, and immediately let out a miserable scream, and the horse let out a terrible neighing at the same time, and both of them were killed in an instant.
The winged lizard slammed its pair of fleshy wings several feet long, and flew into the air with the samurai and horse in its mouth.
Hundreds of archers had their bows and arrows ready, and immediately bent their bows and arrows and shot at the winged lizard.
Dozens of arrows of the Darkiron Arrows shot at the black scales on the winged lizard's abdomen in an instant, clanging, sparks splashing in all directions, and they actually fell down one after another.
Dozens of other feathered arrows shot at the winged lizard's huge pair of fleshy wings, but they were still a foot away from the fleshy wings before they were blown away by the strong wind of the meat wings.
Everyone was secretly frightened, and could only look up and sigh.
The winged lizard spun around in mid-air and was about to fly back to the cave halfway up the mountain.
Shang Tianxing quickly took out a feather arrow from his quiver and placed it on the overlord bow in his hand.
This feathered arrow is red all over, and even the tail feathers are red.
Shang Tianxing used the vitality in the dantian, held the bow in his left hand, pulled the string with his right hand, quickly pulled the overlord bow to the full, and aimed at the winged lizard in mid-air.
As soon as his right hand was released, the bowstring made a muffled "boom", and the crimson feathered arrow immediately turned into a red light, and with a sharp whistle, it shot towards the winged lizard like lightning.
"Click!"
With a bang, the crimson feather arrow shot through the thickest and hardest heart scales on the pterodactyl's chest and into its heart, instantly igniting a red flame.
The flames spread rapidly, and in an instant, the winged lizard was full of flames, and it let go of the man and horse in its mouth, and fell from mid-air with a scream, and crashed into the rocks in the valley, turning into a pile of charred wreckage.
The 100,000 iron horsemen of the Great Shang Empire suddenly thundered with joy and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is mighty!"
Shang Tianxing turned his head and looked at Zhou Sheng in the east of the deep ravine with pride, and the prancing horse held a bow and led the 100,000 iron horsemen of the Great Shang to gallop towards the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
The bald man rode the gluttonous beast and ran at the front.
Soon, the 100,000 iron horsemen of the Great Shang disappeared into the depths of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Not to be outdone, Wang Yu consulted Zhou Sheng's opinion, and ordered the whole army to speed up and march to the depths of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
At dusk, the whole army went deep into the hinterland of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
It is a rolling hill, with high mountains on the east and west sides separated by nearly a hundred miles.
A loud roar of the gluttonous beast was heard in the distance.
A moment later, a rumbling sound sounded, and the whole earth trembled slightly.
Everyone looked at each other, shocked and suspicious.
Wang Yu hurriedly jumped into the air and looked ahead.
The yellow dust was billowing in front of them, and millions of bison rushed towards the 100,000 iron horsemen of the Great Zhou like crazy.
