CHAPTER IX
The night is getting deeper and colder. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the middle of this cold night, a desperate battle is going on.
On one side of the battle is an endless army of skeletons that seem to be the malicious manifestation of the entire Black Forest, and on the other side of the battle is a group of villagers who have settled in the Black Forest and are doing their best to protect their homes and lives.
The battle was somewhat boring and monotonous, with the skeletons rushing up one after the other, trying to destroy the wooden fence surrounding the village, while the villagers used burning sticks to punch through the gaps in the fence, beating and burning the skeletons that came close, dissipating the magic from their bodies with flames, and turning them into temporarily harmless bones.
If you look at it from Sui Xiong's side, you can see that the black tide is constantly surging, rushing towards the village wrapped in wooden fences, and then it is blocked by red flames, constantly undulating, and with each undulation, one or several skeletons will turn into bones and scatter on the ground, appearing a small gap. Then the following skeletons immediately followed up, filling the gap and continuing to attack.
It was a simple and repetitive process, and at first glance the villagers' defenses seemed impregnable, and no matter how many skeletons came, they had to be held back outside the wooden fence until the sun rose. But Sui Xiong knew that the balance of victory had been completely tilted, and the defeat of the villagers was imminent.
The reason is simple, they are tired.
Each time they attack, they need to push back the skeletons that rushed in front of the fence, so as to prevent the skeletons from attacking the fence. And the strength of the skeletons is not weak, and every time they are pushed away, it takes a lot of effort. Since the army of skeletons came to the front of the fence, the villagers have probably pushed it hundreds of times.
Hundreds of times, it doesn't seem like much, but in fact, pushing and pushing hundreds of times repeatedly is enough to make the muscles of ordinary strong men tired to the point of muscle soreness. Sui Xiong also had experience in fitness before, bench press barbell 15 times a group, four sets of exercises a day, a total of only about 60 times, almost to the limit. And the "exercise intensity" of these villagers must be higher than his, and there are so many times, and they can't rest in between...... To be honest, no one has been tired of lying down until now, which makes Sui Xiong admire their endurance very much.
However, these villagers are not the king of strange power after all, and they are all sweating profusely by now, and they are just holding on.
But look at the sky, although the moon is already in the west, it is still early before sunrise.
"It seems that it's almost time for me to appear......" Sui Xiong muttered to himself, and was about to jump out and make a shining debut, but things changed again.
It enveloped the village every night, and the breath that Sui Xiong hated suddenly became stronger. Like the waves of the sea, it rushed towards the army of skeletons.
There was a crackling sound, and all the skeletons that were close to the fence shattered directly, turning into miserable white bones and scattering them all over the ground.
At the same time, Sui Xiong heard the sound of prayer, and many prayers were connected together, with a strange rhythm, pushing the breath to grow.
He was amazed, and it took him a moment to come to his senses - this world is not earth, and it has supernatural powers, such as skeletons. In the face of the attack of supernatural forces, of course, supernatural forces should be used to defend.
Perhaps, this is the real defense of that village, right?
As it turned out, Sui Xiong had guessed wrong again.
Just as he was stunned, four black-robed girls came out of the stone house, each carrying a wooden cage wrapped in black cloth. They each walked to the side of the village and handed the cage to the four strong men who were already waiting there. The brawny men carefully took the cages and threw them out with all their might, throwing them over the fence and into the army of skeletons.
A moment later, a terrible rooster crow sounded in the skeleton army, and four monsters that didn't know where they came from suddenly appeared in the skeleton group, raging wildly.
These monsters have chicken heads and wings, but they have human-like torques, thick limbs that can be seen as powerful, and the hands and feet in the shape of chicken claws are so sharp that the skeletons shatter when they touch each other, and they are completely vulnerable. They were also very tall, with the shortest being about the height of three strong men, and the tallest approaching the height of five people.
"Strange! Where did these monsters come from?"
Sui Xiong was dumbfounded, he could swear to Marx that he had observed this village for so long before, and he had never found any trace of these four monsters - he couldn't see such a big thing, wouldn't he be blind!
So, where did these four big guys come from?
No, that's not the point, the point of the matter is that with these four big guys guarding the door, the skeleton army seems to be helpless against this village......
Sui Xiong didn't have much combat experience, so he couldn't accurately measure how strong those four monsters were, but looking at their invincible appearance as they rampaged through the skeleton group, it looked like a one-sided crush. Although the skeletons have sufficient backup, and the number can be described as endless, no matter how endless they are, they can't help these four powerful monsters that can kill one by one with a wave of their arms.
Sui Xiong couldn't help but sigh secretly.
After all, he still underestimated these villagers who could settle down in the Black Forest!
But it didn't take long for him to realize that his previous estimate was correct, and the strength of this village was actually not that strong.
It took more than half an hour for the four monsters to suddenly let out a terrible scream, and their bodies, which had been basically unharmed in the fierce battle, trembled violently, and after a while, with the four explosions, they each turned into a pool of blood.
Seeing this scene, the villagers were a little disappointed, but Sui Xiong breathed a sigh of relief.
It's still early, and his original plan for the savior to make a shining appearance should still have time to be implemented.
No, in fact, things are going on very well. Because of the struggle of the four monsters during this time, the number of skeleton armies has been reduced a lot, and it is no longer as dense as before. Although the reinforcements from the underground are still in flux, it will take some time to recover to the previous level. On the other hand, the villagers, after this period of rest, their physical strength has recovered a lot, even if they can't hold on, at least the entire defense line will not collapse all at once, so that Sui Xiong can be sure to save everyone when he appears on the stage later.
This is a good thing, it is just that the villagers may be a little frightened, but after all, there will be no danger.
Sui Xiong was confident that as long as he jumped to the village and circled the fence, he would be able to wipe out more than 80% of the skeleton army, and the remaining two or three kittens would be good at playing whack-a-mole.
No problem, everything is being calculated.
The destruction of the four monsters was clearly in the villagers' calculations, and they only sighed slightly before continuing to work against the skeleton army.
The situation was no different from before, the skeletons rushed to the fence, and the villagers pushed them back with burning sticks, burning again and again until they collapsed.
But soon, Sui Xiong saw the problem.
The strength of the villagers is really far worse than just now!
After all, they were exhausted, and even after resting for more than half an hour, they couldn't recover much.
In fact, this is still a trivial matter, in the face of a life and death crisis, even a pig will squeeze out its last trace of strength to fight to the end, let alone people. Don't look at these villagers panting one by one, but Sui Xiong bets that they can at least hold out for more than an hour!
In contrast, another crisis is really imminent.
I'm afraid the wooden fence is about to run out!
The wooden fence that surrounds the village is indeed strong, but no matter how strong it is, it is only wood. During the night, they were constantly attacked by the army of skeletons, and they were burned countless times by the burning sticks, and they were really reaching their limit. If this world is a game, I'm afraid that the durability of this wooden fence has become red to the bottom, and it is about to collapse.
Once the fence is broken, the entire line of defense will completely collapse.
It was at this time that the gates of the village, which had been closed, opened.
As if someone was secretly remotely controlling, the army of skeletons that had been frantically attacking the fence all stopped and hurried towards the village gate.
Sui Xiong was stunned, he couldn't understand the way these skeletons were thinking.
After struggling for most of the night, they saw that the entire wooden fence was about to be completely destroyed, and they could flood the village in one swoop, why did they immediately ignore the wooden fence and go straight to the gate as soon as the door opened?
What kind of logic is this?
Sui Xiong thinks that I am afraid that only in those enlightenment-level old games will there be this kind of artificial intelligence that can be called the level of retarded.
Oh...... These skeletons are long dead, not even human, let alone intelligent......
Just as he was secretly complaining, the army of skeletons that had originally surrounded the entire village had already gathered at the door, and rushed forward one after another.
The ones who are responsible for resisting them are naturally the strong men who have been recuperating before.
One by one, these strong men wore animal skin armor and wielded heavy weapons such as axes and hammers, and smashed the skeletons that rushed towards them. The strong physique cultivated by years of logging contained unusual strength, and those black skeletons were no match at all, and a large piece fell in a moment.
However, the physical exertion of such a fierce battle was also amazing, and in just about ten minutes, the men who had been logging trees all year round and were as strong as cattle began to pant.
The bald man who had been guarding the door waved his hand when he saw this, and ordered them to retreat, while he led two or three strong men to block it.
He was noticeably much stronger than the average lumberjack, and with a flick of his axe, several skeletons fell, as if they were mowing grass.
Sui Xiong couldn't help but be secretly surprised, this bald head didn't look particularly strong than those lumberjacks at first glance, but the combat power was not a grade at all, it didn't look like the same species. What did he eat to grow up so strong?
After you have a good relationship with the people of this village, you must have a good communication with him. If you can learn from the experience of becoming stronger, with the foundation of your own physical body, you will definitely be able to be strong against the sky!
However, the endurance of this strong man seemed to be very problematic, and after only fighting about twice as long as ordinary people, he began to gasp for breath, retreated, let the other lumberjacks on top, and retreated to the rear to rest.
Of course, in this short period of time, he defeated at least two or three hundred skeletons, and his record was brilliant.
This guy is indeed very strong!
