Chapter 64: Arson in Nanshan
At this time, it was nearly three watches, and in the dead of night, Ji Qiu's warning cry seemed very abrupt.
Wang Laoqi came back to his senses and shouted with him, and soon the light of candles appeared all over the mountain, and it was obvious that the monks in the alliance had heard the warning and hurriedly got up.
At this time, the group of monsters was less than twenty miles away from the Soul Alliance, as the distance approached, Ji Qiu vaguely saw the appearance of that group of monsters, although those monsters had wings, they were not birds, but a group of huge black bats, bats were originally ugly animals, compared with ordinary bats, this group of bats was not only larger, but also more hideous, with sharp teeth and sharp teeth, red eyes, and a piece of black pressing, countless.
These bats carry people on their backs, humanoid monsters to be exact, these people are seven points like a human, and three points like a wolfdog beast, with knotted muscles on their bodies, holding various weapons in one hand, and holding an iron chain around the bat's neck with the other hand, controlling the bats under their feet.
Wang Laoqi had seen the Rebel Blood Guards, and was the first to shout out their identities, "It's the Rebel Blood Guard!"
Ji Qiu had heard of the Anti-Blood Guards many times, but it was the first time he had seen them, these Anti-Blood Guards were all human beings who had been contaminated by the Heavenly Punishment and lost their minds, and like bats, their eyes were also blood-red, and most of the Anti-Blood Guards were still wearing human clothes, but they were in tatters, unclothed, and their knotted muscles were exposed by the evil qi and mutated.
At this time, the monks in charge of the night patrol also discovered the traces of the anti-blood guards attacking from the ground, and the bronze bell used to warn was struck, and a large number of monks hurriedly went out, blowing whistles while arranging their clothes, summoning their mounts to come to meet them, and the bells, shouts, and whistles in the mountains came one after another.
The incident happened suddenly, although the monks of the Soul Suppression Alliance were eager but not panicked, and the bird mounts scattered all over the mountain could also distinguish the call of their master in the noisy whistle, and they all flapped their wings and flew forward to take it.
There are more than 10,000 monks in the Soul Suppression Alliance, and there are only 3,000 people with mounts, and those with mounts ride to the air to resist the enemy, while monks without mounts rush to all directions to intercept the invading blood guards from the ground.
Seeing that everyone on his side had begun to hear the warning and began to take precautions, Ji Qiu turned around and ran down the mountain.
After running a few steps, he didn't see Wang Laoqi follow, turned around, but found that Wang Laoqi was still stunned in place, with a stunned and shocked face.
"Still stunned for what, go down and get the weapon. Ji Qiu urged loudly.
"What kind of weapon can you take, who can you beat?" Wang Laoqi pointed to the southwest, "Oh no, look at it." ”
Ji Qiu followed Wang Laoqi's instructions to look southwest, he first looked into the distance, and found that there was no abnormality in the distance before looking closer, only to find that a crested ibis was fluttering and struggling in the forest, every time it tossed and turned into the air, repeatedly convulsed and fell.
"Is it really poisoned?" Ji Qiu asked eagerly.
"Yes, look, look, look......" Wang Laoqi raised his hand and pointed around.
At this time, the monks were summoning their mounts, and the mounts also wanted to fly over to meet their masters after hearing the call of their masters.
"What should I do?" Ji Qiu was anxious, "You are a veterinarian, think of a way." ”
At this moment, the three-legged golden toad of the laughing thunder real person jumped up in the air, caught the laughing thunder real person who was rushing towards him, and flew west to meet the enemy.
Wang Laoqi scratched his ears and cheeks, thinking eagerly, and after a while, he vaguely thought of something, turned around and ran towards Nanshan, "Come on." ”
"What are you doing?" Ji Qiu followed.
Wang Laoqi panted, "Earlier when I went to Nanshan, I saw an ash tree on the mountainside, and the bark of the ash tree is Qin bark, which can stretch the muscles and detoxify. ”
"I'm afraid it's too late, even if there is an antidote, they won't have time to take it. Ji Qiu said.
"You can fumigate if you don't have time to take it," Wang Laoqi said, "Today's south wind, let's cut down the white wax and burn it, and the smoke can detoxify." ”
Hearing Wang Laoqi's words, Ji Qiu vaguely saw hope, "Did you bring a knife and axe?"
"No, no, I'll go to Nanshan first, you go down and get it. Wang Laoqi said.
Ji Qiu agreed, turned around and ran down the mountain.
"The ash tree is right next to the road where they are carrying you down the mountain, and I'm waiting for you at the junction. Wang Laoqi shouted from behind.
Ji Qiu didn't reply, and ran desperately down the mountain, at this time, the high-ranking monks who rode into the air from all over the place had already made a short encounter with the anti-blood guards who drove the bats from the west, and the battle officially began.
Ji Qiu couldn't look up, and quickly ran back to the feeding yard, at this time the huge feeding yard was empty, all the miscellaneous servants were huddled in the room and shivering, only Aunt Hu stood in the center of the feeding yard and watched the battle in the distance.
Seeing Ji Qiu's eagerness, Aunt Hu tilted her head and glanced at him, "The thousand-year-old prestige of the Soul Suppression Alliance is not in vain, so there is no need to panic." ”
"I'm not panicking," Ji Qiu ran quickly towards the stove, "but most of our mounts are poisoned, and Wang Laoqi and I are trying to detoxify them." ”
Ji Qiu said and rushed into the stove, took the axe and the fire fold, and when he came out, he saw a pile of hay in the corner that ignited the fire, so he ran over and carried two bundles.
Thinking that there was still half an altar of lamp oil in the canteen, he ran to the canteen and took out the jar of lamp oil.
Aunt Hu looked at Ji Qiu suspiciously, "Detoxification should be used as medicinal herbs, what did you do with lamp oil hay?"
"Wang Laoqi said that the ash tree in Nanshan can detoxify, and we have to burn the tree. "Ji Qiu ran away.
Aunt Hu didn't believe what Ji Qiu said, but she didn't stop it, Ji Qiu was from Yunyang City and saved Ji Ling'er, he had no motive to set fire to the chaos.
At this time, the air battle has entered the white heat, and the monks in the alliance are casting spells to meet the anti-blood guards, and the night sky is full of lightning and thunder, and the sound of killing is shocking.
He didn't know what was going on with the birds that had already loaded their masters into the warband, but the mountains were full of birds struggling to fly, and their owners who were anxious but didn't know why.
The poisoning of the mounts has put you in a serious position of passivity, and all the birds that drive the birds are the elite of the monks, and they are not allowed to participate in the battle, and the situation is very unfavorable to you.
Wang Lao was seven years old and weak, his legs and feet were slow, and when Ji Qiu ran to Nanshan in a sweat, he had just arrived, and when he saw Ji Qiu hugging and carrying, he ran over to help.
Fearing that he had broken the oil jar, Ji Qiu gave him the two bundles of hay, and the two of them, without respite, ran up the hill and found the ash tree located on the west side of the road.
The ash tree had been some years old, and it was so thick and tall that it would take at least an hour to cut it down, and by then the war would have been over.
After thinking about it eagerly, Ji Qiu handed over the oil jar and fire fold to Wang Laoqi, pinned the axe to his waist, and began to climb the tree, "I'll go up and cut it, and you burn it below." ”
"Okay, ahem......" Wang Laoqi was short of breath and coughed and wheezing.
Ji Qiu is very good at climbing trees, so he climbed up in the blink of an eye, took out his axe and began to chop branches.
Ji Qiu cut from above, Wang Laoqi picked up and piled up from below, put hay below, and then poured lamp oil to blow the fire and ignite it.
The wood of the ash tree is not hard, and it is relatively easy to chop and chop, because the branches and leaves are damp, the fire is not strong at first, and the smoke is not big, so in order to make the smoke bigger, Ji Qiu has to desperately wield an axe to chop the branches.
Compared with Ji Qiu's sweat, Wang Laoqi was much easier, at first he still needed to pick up branches everywhere, and when the fire became bigger, the branches cut down by Ji Qiu would fall into the fire on their own.
Ji Qiu chopped his breathing very quickly, at first he could tolerate it, and then he coughed more than smoke, looked down, but found that the fire below was already very big, in order to burn conveniently, Wang Laoqi directly lit the fire from under the tree, and as soon as the fire was strong, he had no way to retreat.
In desperation, I had to chop the branches and climb up, and after half a pillar of incense, only a lonely trunk remained of the huge ash tree.
There is nothing to cut down, there is no way to advance or retreat, Ji Qiu can only stay on the tree with the trunk in his arms.
At this time, the enemy of the air raid has invaded the sky above the Soul Alliance, and there are hideous bats and bloody monks everywhere, Ji Qiu is embarrassed to hold the trunk of the tree, and he is in a high place, not only is it very dangerous, but the fire below is also burning more and more, and he is crying bitterly.
Sensing that Ji Qiu was in danger, Wang Laoqi shouted eagerly from below, "It's dangerous above, come down quickly." ”
Wang Laoqi didn't say anything, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted Ji Qiu's scolding, "Your ancestor, you burn the fire under the tree, how can I go down ......?"
