Gu Xin and the others all stood with their backs to the main gate of the village, raising their heads and looking in the direction of the mountain behind. In the northernmost part of the village is the house of Granny Shui, and a door has opened in the wall at the back to the hemp forest and soybean fields on the gentle slope, and above there is a steep slope with elm forests and green oaks. Elm trees are relatively low, while oaks that have grown for an unknown number of years are tall and towering.

Among the canopy branches and leaves of those green oaks, there were more than a hundred huge strange birds parked at some point, and if you looked closely, it was not a strange bird, but a person with two wings on his back! Gu Xin's heart sank, as if he had been sinking into the bottomless abyss, and the offender was actually the Yu Nation!

Located in the north of the bottomless valley, there is a winding and rugged mountain road that leads from west to east from the central valley to the village. And beyond the village of Lu to the east, there is no road in the mountains, and of course there are no other tribes passing through. To the east is the traditional hunting grounds of the Lu villagers, with endless mountains and jungles, but strictly speaking, there are no other tribes further afield.

In the extremely remote place east of Lu Village, at the end of the valley and in the primeval jungle in the high mountains, there is still a demon tribe, known as the Yu Nation since ancient times. It is said that they are the descendants of the ancient demons, the appearance is different from ordinary people, the body is not tall, the size of adults is similar to the teenagers in normal people, and what is more special is that they all have a pair of wings on their backs.

The wings of the feathered people grow at the shoulder blades of a normal person, and a pair of long wings hang down from the shoulders to the calf, with soft hairs on the inside and long hard feathers on the outside and edges, and the width of the fully spread is more than twice its height. It is said that he did not build a house on the ground, but lived in a giant nest in a towering tree.

Unlike ordinary bird's nests, their nests are sturdy and have roofs that provide shelter from the wind and rain in the mountains, much like tree houses. Others say that when they fall asleep, they lie on their stomachs, and that the pair of wings is covered by a quilt.

The feather people live in treehouses on high places, which is not only a habit of their ancestors but also safe, and the main reason is that they can fly. Despite their small stature, they are significantly heavier than their flying birds, so they are not able to fly long distances at high altitudes. However, they have particularly well-developed muscles in their chest, back and upper limbs, and they can fly a short distance by flapping their wings hard, and can spread their wings and glide far along the air currents at high altitudes.

Therefore, the valleys and ravines were not an insurmountable barrier for them, and they did not need to build bridges and open roads. The Yu people live in the deep mountains and forests, and there are no roads leading to the treehouse villages nearby, which is extremely difficult for outsiders to reach, and they are almost isolated from the rest of the world.

However, the Yu people are not completely insensitive to outsiders, they sometimes need to exchange things with other tribes, and a group of clansmen led by the patriarch Da Mao flew long distances to the central valley. Its patriarch Chang Mao is the most special person in the feather nation, and he was able to practice in the early years when he entered the initial realm, and now his magical power is not weak, and what is even more amazing is that he can change his body.

Da Mao's original body is the same as the clansmen, and he can fly with a pair of wings, but after he lands, he can transform his appearance, the wings disappear no different from ordinary people, his body is similar to that of a normal person, and his facial features have also become less weird. Da Mao is a monk of the Four Realms, and it is said that only by breaking through the Four Realms can the demon clan master this supernatural power change.

Every once in a long time, Da Mao would lead a group of clansmen to the Central Valley to exchange goods with other tribes. Therefore, the various tribes also knew that there was such a strange demon clan in the deep mountains of the Dao Dao, but they rarely saw the people of the Yu Nationality most of the time. This demon clan also hardly has any other dealings with foreign clans, let alone intermarriage.

Of course, the feather people are not birds, they are also human, they have the intelligence to speak, can process and use tools, and work collectively, but because of their strange appearance, they have characteristics that ordinary people do not have, so they are called demon tribes. According to some people who have occasionally touched the Yu people, the adult Yu people not only have a body like a teenager, but also have a similar brain, and they are a little stupid when they talk and do things.

The Yu people usually deal with foreign races, and they are all represented by the patriarch Mao. And this patriarch looks no different from ordinary people, and he should be the most capable, knowledgeable, and intelligent person in this demon clan. In addition to the Feather Nation, there are several other demon clans in the depths of the wilderness in this area, each with its own characteristics, but basically they rarely have contact with foreign races, and the Feather Nation is the only one who can fly.

For such a demon clan, normal people will inevitably have a feeling that they are not of my race when they see it, but in such a wilderness, everyone is not surprised. When the people of Lucun went out hunting, if they went far to the edge of the hunting ground that had been active in the depths of the jungle, they would occasionally encounter people from the Lu Jianyu nationality flying by. But they hardly interact with people, let alone say hello, and have been largely safe for hundreds of years.

What Gu Xin saw at this moment was the people of the Yu nationality, they landed on the Qinggang giant tree in the mountain behind Lu Village, there were more than 120 people densely packed, and all of them were carrying weapons, and they were obviously not good. This is a situation that no one expected, even if the wise mountain master has made all kinds of preparations to deal with the conflict in the wilderness, he would never have expected today's scene.

Today, the large-scale formal conflict in the Central Valley is finally coming, and the mountain master and the water lady are not in the village, and even the pan gourd has been taken away. The people of the two tribes not only gathered the fifty-one warriors who had been trained to open the mountain, but also urgently summoned two hundred strong men who had been trained in the military formation to form the other two flank military formations.

This is the arrangement of the mountain master, as long as the formation is set up, it is enough to have the strength to win, and it is of course the best to win without a fight in the end. But in this way, the village became empty, and Ruoshan did not dare to be careless, leaving behind the two masters, Gu Xin and Shu Zhuang, and about fifty strong men who had been trained in combat to take care of the house.

Leaving Gu Xin and these people was just in case, because the strength of Youyu Village was also gathered in the central valley, and it was impossible to cross the Wild Trail to invade Lu Village and Huahai Village in a big way. But a few years ago, Yuliang sneaked nearby with an elite team, and the mountain master had to guard against the recurrence of Yucun's old tricks, and he couldn't let people take advantage of it.

Two masters and fifty sturdy men who have been trained in combat are enough to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations, and Shan Ye and the others have no worries in the Central Valley.

However, Gu Xin was a little unimpressed with this arrangement of the mountain master, because the roads in and out of the two clans had long been strictly monitored, and Youyu Village had gathered all its strength, so it was impossible to send any elite small teams to sneak attack. Even if you want to send someone to watch the house, according to the usual practice, you should leave Granny Shui, how can you leave yourself, the patriarch of Huahai Village?

But Granny Shui insisted on going to the bottom of the central valley with Master Shan, of course Gu Xin couldn't compete with her, and at the same time she had to be convinced, Granny Shui's ability was indeed much greater than herself. Although Gu Xin thought that the mountain master was doing this too much, he still left twenty soldiers in Huahai Village to guard according to the plan that had been discussed, and he himself took another thirty people who were fully armed to Lu Village to garrison, and by the way, he took his daughter and son-in-law Shu Zhuang to take a look.

Gu Xin never expected that Youyu Village really had an even more sinister arrangement. This is not a sneak attack by a small team, but an attack with the strength of the clan, no matter what the battle situation in the central valley is, Lu Village and Huahai Village may be wiped out today. Who would have thought that there were so many enemies, and that they didn't have to walk at all, they flew from the other direction!

These people left behind in the two villages are by no means the opponents of the Yu Nation! Gu Xin knew this very well in his heart, but he couldn't show a look of fear, let alone turn around and escape, at this moment he was the backbone of the people left behind by the two clans, even if he was desperate, he had to do his best to resist the attack of the Yu Nation.

Gu Xin gave a warning and led thirty soldiers to prepare to meet the enemy, and Shu Zhuang beside him blew the bamboo whistle. There are several such bamboo whistles, which are made by Granny Shui, and the first one is given to the tiger baby, which is used to issue alarms from a distance. The whistle that Shu Zhuang blew was long and sharp, and after a while, two whistles came back faintly from Huahai Village, which seemed relatively short.

Huahai Village's response said that they had been alerted, but they had not yet found an invading enemy over there.

At the same time as the whistle sounded, the feather people on the Qinggang giant tree also suddenly moved. They were going to sneak attack, but now that they have alarmed each other, and these two villages are obviously on guard, let's do it quickly. Suddenly there was a sparkling fire on the giant green wood, and it was they who lit the thing tied to the shaft of the arrow.

Gu Xin was taken aback again, how could the people of the Yu Nationality, who had always been very stupid, become so smart today, and even know that Lu Dao attacked with a rocket from a high place first? It must be that Da Mao Patriarch who gave the order! The houses in Lu Village are all made of wood and stone, and most of the walls are made of stones mined in the mountains, and some are also supported by wooden pillars, but the roofs are all paved with wooden planks, covered with woven straw curtains and pressed stones, and once they are hit by rockets, they can easily ignite a fire.

The Yu people are on the high slope of the giant tree outside the village, the distance is very far, and the bows and arrows of the warriors of Lu Village and Huahai Village can't shoot there at all, but the Yu people are condescending, and they can shoot the village when they shoot towards the sky. Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Xin shouted again: "Disperse!"

The thirty heavily armed warriors behind him quickly left the center of the clearing, hiding under the surrounding eaves. Gu Xin's reaction just now was very fast, and he immediately gathered the team when he noticed the movement, but when he saw the feather nation igniting the rocket from a high place, he realized that he had made a mistake.

Gu Xin's arrangement just now was to gather the clansmen to guard the gate of the village, and when he encountered a large beast in the mountains, the hunting formation was also like this. But today's enemy is the feather people, they can fly, although they can't fly high in the sky for a long time, but it is okay to fly high in a short time, if they shoot bows and arrows condescendingly, it is difficult for the warriors to fight back, standing in the open space is simply a target.

While the thirty warriors dispersed, Gu Xin rushed forward, crossed the altar with a longbow, and jumped onto the roof of Granny Shui's house at the back of the village. Shu Zhuang followed closely beside him, carrying a large bundle of shuttle guns. As soon as Gu Xin jumped onto the roof and stood firm, he immediately opened his bow and shot arrows, and the steel arrows emitted a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air.
