Chapter 34: Watching the Wolf and Tiger Fight (2)
At night, the Shenlong tribe has long lost the previous lights, and these simple and primitive tribesmen have long been accustomed to the life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. In this almost isolated place, they don't have much to do in the evening, and they usually go to bed very early unless there are special celebrations or rituals.
After finishing meditating in his room, Amu got up and went to the courtyard, ready to move a little and go to bed. Abba and Aunt Xiao went into the mountain early this morning, and they didn't come back in the evening, it is estimated that they spent the night in the mountain again, and the family now has themselves and their sister. Although such days are already ordinary for him, Amu always hopes that he will grow up quickly and learn more skills soon, because only in this way can he make the life at home better, so that his father will not be as hard as he is now.
Suddenly, there was a soft sound in the night sky as the wings of a bird flapped the air, and a small black bird flew straight over the courtyard wall, landed on Amu's shoulder, and then grabbed the clothes on his shoulder with its claws, and gently rubbed its hairy little head back and forth against Amu's ear.
This is the Yao Eagle that Abba used to deliver the message, which is extremely difficult to domesticate, and there are not many in the entire tribe. "Isn't it Abba what danger they encountered? Why don't they send a letter home so late?" Thinking of this, Amu's heart jumped suddenly, and he quickly took off the small bamboo tube tied to the bird's feet, walked into the room quickly, and opened the strip of cloth inside with a candle. After reading the handwriting on the strip of cloth, Amu not only completely let go of the hanging heart just now, but was so excited that he almost danced. I saw two lines of small print written on the strip of cloth. One line is, "We were lucky enough to kill the thousand-year-old snake king in the mountains, because its corpse was too large, and we were afraid that it would be eaten by other demon beasts, whether to send someone to respond, I hope to tell the chief to make a decision as soon as possible." The other wrote the location. I think there was no pen and ink at that time, and the characters were written in charcoal, which was in my father's handwriting.
"Sister, sister, have you slept? Hurry up, Abba has returned with a letter. Amu ran to Asika's door in two steps and banged on Asika's door vigorously.
Asika was awakened by Amu's shouting in his sleep, and when he heard that Amu had returned from sending a letter, he was immediately shocked, turned over and got up from the bed, put on his clothes three or two times, and then opened the door and let Amu in.
"Amu, what did you say? Abba just sent a letter, show me what was written on it?" Asika's voice was a little nervous, it seemed that she had also misunderstood, thinking that something had happened to her Abba in the mountains. But after reading what was written on the strip of cloth, his eyes widened with joy and he jumped up: "Abba, they actually killed the snake king who has been practicing for thousands of years? It's really good, Amu, you hurry up and inform the chieftain, and ask him to quickly arrange for the clan to pick up Abba." “
"What are you talking about? You Abba, they killed the snake king who has been practicing for thousands of years? How is this possible? Do you know how harmful that snake king is? With your Abba's strength, you can kill it?" Old Siri, who was awakened from his sleep, looked at the young man in front of him with a look of disbelief, as if he wanted to confirm from his face whether he was telling himself a joke that was not funny at all.
"But that's exactly what my Abba said in the message he brought, Grandpa Siri, my Abba decided that it was impossible to lie!" Seeing that Chief Siri didn't quite believe the information he brought, Amu suddenly became anxious and said loudly with grievances.
"Okay, I'm going to have someone call the other elders and see if anyone is willing to come and answer you, Abba. I can believe that your Abba is not lying, but I can't force someone to do such a thing. “
It didn't take long for the chief's house to gather more than a dozen elders and clansmen who had rushed to hear the news. Lao Xili took out the strip of cloth sent back by Liancheng and handed it to everyone, and only after reading it did he ask: "What do you think about this matter? Do you think it is necessary to send someone over now?"
"This is obviously a joke, I don't know how many catties and taels he has in Zuoliancheng? He also killed the thousand-year-old snake king, I think he must have been trapped by the snake king. As soon as Lao Xili's words were finished, Dan Ivan didn't wait for him, and spoke in a weird manner, with a tone and tone that was clearly not discussing with everyone how to solve the problem, but like a guy who was stirring up trouble.
"Dan Ivan, pay attention to what you say yourself. Don't always treat other people's gentlemen with your own villainous heart. I believe that the news that came back from Liancheng is true. "For the life in Liancheng, Scarface Lei Zhentian has always admired it, and now he sees Dan Ivan there again
The site is destroyed in Zuolian City, and it will soar on the spot.
I'm telling the truth, what's the matter? You should tell everyone what kind of ability Zuo Liancheng had to kill the snake king who had been practicing for thousands of years? That is the snake king who has been practicing for thousands of years, at least he is also an existence above the return level, do you think it is as easy as going into the mountains to fight a wild man? Hmph, don't use your brain to think about it. Dan Ivan looked at Lei Zhentian, whose face was flushed, as if he were looking at an idiot, and his face was full of disdainful mockery.
"Anyway, no matter what you say, I just believe in Big Brother Zuo. Brother Zuo is not like some people, who always think about his own interests. Scar-faced Lei Zhentian couldn't find a proper reason to refute Dan Ivan for a while, so he simply sat back in his chair and stopped talking.
"If you believe him, if you believe him, then you can go into the mountains to find him by yourself, and no one will stop you. Seeing that Scarface couldn't refute it, Dan Ivan naturally wouldn't give up this good opportunity to fall into the well, so he simply used the agitation method.
"Go and go, what are you afraid of. The leader of the bus got up from his chair and raised his feet to walk out of the door.
"Wait for me, Uncle Lei, I'll go with you!" Amu saw that Lei Zhentian was leaving, so he hurriedly followed.
"You two will come back to me! In the middle of the night, the two of you go into the mountain like this, isn't that sending you to death? Chief Lao Xili didn't expect that a good thing would be made like this by Dan Ivan, and he suddenly yelled angrily, and stopped the two people who were about to walk to the door. Then he turned his head and looked at Dan Ivan angrily, "Do you still have the appearance of being a deputy chief? This is discussing things, is there such a yin and yang weird sneer like you!"
"Don't be angry, Chief. Dan Ivan's suspicions were not entirely unreasonable. I think it's better to do this, let's tell the young people in the clan the news sent back by Zuo Danshi in Zuolian City, and if there are those who are willing to go, bring weapons to you to gather immediately, and if you don't want to go, we will not be reluctant. If there are more than fifty people who are willing to go, then we will let Lei Zhentian take everyone into the mountain, and if the number of people who go does not reach this number, then we will discuss it again tomorrow morning. What do you think of this method, old chief?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, the Great Elder hurriedly came out to play a round.
"Okay, just do as you say. Let's split up and inform the rest of the group. This matter should be sooner rather than later. Lao Xili also thought that this was the safest way, and made a decision on the spot.
Many people still believe that Zuo Liancheng is a man, and in less than half an hour, a team of about 100 people set off with torches.
After facing off for half an hour, the Golden Horn Demon Tiger and the Saber-toothed Demon Wolf finally changed, perhaps because they felt that their authority as the overlord of the mountains had been challenged, or perhaps because they wanted to show their power in front of the female Demon Tiger, the male Golden Horn Demon Tiger, who was already fierce and brutal by nature, launched an attack on the wolves first. I saw it roar angrily, almost shaking the entire valley into turmoil, and then its two huge front paws pressed the ground violently, and its whole body rose into the air, opening its bloody mouth, like a small mountain, from top to bottom, towards the saber-toothed demon wolves in front of it.
Seeing that the Golden Horn Demon Tiger was menacing, the saber-toothed demon wolf in front of him did not make a hard connection, but retreated two or three feet back almost at the same time, taking advantage of the fact that the demon tiger was not stable, eight or nine saber-toothed demon wolves let out a roar in unison, like a well-trained soldier, rushing up, some pounced on the left and right thighs, and some pounced on the back waist, as if they wanted to tear the largest golden horn demon tiger to pieces at once. But without exception, almost none of the demon wolves chose to face the enemy head-on - this is where the Golden Horn Demon Tiger's attack power is the strongest. Avoid the real and the false, attack it and save it, this is still the first round, and the saber-toothed demon wolf has shown its strong IQ.
The Golden Horn Demon Tiger missed the blow, and couldn't help but roar again, and the huge tail more than a foot long swept towards the saber-toothed demon wolf behind him like an iron rod, sweeping the saber-toothed demon wolf that was about to jump on his back into the air, and at the same time, his body turned with his strength, opened the giant again, and bit the other saber-toothed demon wolf next to him.
The demon wolf who was swept by the tiger's tail screamed in pain and rolled around on the ground, but only paused slightly, shook his body, and pounced on the Golden Horn Demon Tiger again. It seems that it is also a thick-skinned fellow, and it was swept by the tail of the Golden Horn Demon Tiger like an iron rod just now, although it was in pain, but it was not injured.
Seeing the full-horned demon tiger open its mouth to bite its companions, the demon wolf who retreated and escaped when the demon tiger pounced just now turned into a retreat, and at the same time kicked the ground with four corners, jumped into the air, and pounced on the golden horn demon tiger from behind, so that if the golden horn demon tiger continued to rush forward, even if it could bite the saber-toothed demon wolf in front, its back was bound to fall into the wolf's mouth and be injured by it. Encircling Wei to save Zhao and replacing defense with offense is also an extremely clever tactic.
When the male Golden Horn Demon Tiger and the saber-toothed demon wolf on this side were inseparable, the battle over there also began. Under the constant harassment and lure of the wolves, the female Golden Horn Demon Tiger and the relatively weak little Golden Horn Demon Tiger were successfully divided and surrounded. What made Xiao Jian sigh even more was that, as if he had been instructed to do so, the remaining seventeen-headed saber-toothed demon wolves did not besiege the adult tigress with their main forces, and they also only divided nine heads to fight with it. Dividing and encircling, focusing on breakthroughs, is another extremely high tactic!
Looking at the saber-toothed demon wolf's exquisite combat techniques, and then looking at the wolf king who was still standing on the battlefield and watching the battle, calm and relaxed, only occasionally letting out one or two long or short, high or low roars to command other saber-toothed demon wolves to fight, Xiao Jian couldn't help but be stunned. Where is this beast who can only drink blood, it is clearly a group of well-trained warriors and a general who commands well.
