Chapter 41: The Wolf Plague (2)

Before all the clansmen of the Shenlong tribe finished eating the food they had just delivered, a long wolf horn sounded in the night sky again. As if given the order to charge, the surrounding saber-toothed demon wolves rushed straight towards the wall like a tide, using their heads, their waists, and even their buttocks, to use all their strength to violently hit the wooden stakes under the wall. Some of the stronger ones even used other demon wolves as a springboard, first ran a few steps and jumped onto the back of another demon wolf in front, and then took advantage of the momentum to kick and jump into the air, trying to jump over the wall of the village and rush into the wall.

"Shoot the arrows!" Chief Lao Xili looked coldly at the demon wolves gathering more and more under the wall, and with a wave of his hand, he gave the order to attack.

"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh...... The sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded almost at the same time, and countless arrows carried the sound of the wind and shot fiercely at the wolves under the wall. There's almost no need to aim, just pull the bowstring and shoot the arrow. With such a dense group of wolves, the sharp arrows shot out are almost not missing, but it is a pity that the fur on the demon wolf's body is too thick, except for a few people with light and strong skills and sufficient yuan power, the arrows shot by people with sufficient skill can penetrate the body of the demon wolf relatively deeply, so that they are seriously injured, the arrows shot by other ordinary clansmen, unless they happen to hit the eyes and ears of the demon wolf, which can cause relatively large damage to the demon wolf, other arrows, even if they are shot, are just leaving a hole one or two inches deep on its body. Such a small injury is nothing at all for a demon wolf with a body as high as one meter three or four, like a calf, and it doesn't even slow down its speed by half a minute.

"Throw me rocks, hot oil, and boiling water! I don't believe it, these damn animals really can't get rid of it." "Although after a round of bows and arrows, hundreds of demon wolves were also killed, but this small loss was only a drop in the bucket for a huge group of demon wolves with at least four or five thousand numbers.

With Lao Xili's order, in addition to the archers who were still fighting back with bows and arrows, countless stones as thick as millstones, thick logs were thrown from the wall one after another, and buckets of hot oil and boiling water that had already burned hot were also poured on the wolves below without mercy.

This trick really had a huge effect, countless demon wolves were either hit by stones and rolling logs thrown from under the wall, broken waists and legs, or scalded by hot oil or boiling water poured from above, their skin and flesh bloomed, and they wailed in pain one by one, and they were judged everywhere, and there were also a lot of riots in the originally orderly wolf pack.

"Woo-woo, woo-" Another cry came from the wolves, as if with endless majesty and domineering, far away in the dark sky.

Strangely, as this cry sounded, the wolves that had been in turmoil quickly quieted down again, and began to slowly retreat step by step, until they were about twenty feet away from the wall, and they stared at the clansmen on the wall viciously with green eyes, red tongues, and bared teeth.

"Chief, they still don't seem to want to retreat!" said the Great Elder Lei Lingxiao, who was standing beside the chief, as he looked at the wolves who were still eyeing the wall.

"yes, I'm afraid their next attack will be even more violent. You send another message to Zuo Liancheng and ask how long it will take for them to arrive. By the way, you gather all the old people and children in the stockade, if it really doesn't work, we can only leave the stockade through the secret passage. "Chief Lao Xili couldn't figure out which nerve was wrong with the hateful saber-toothed demon wolves outside. Even if it was the prey that robbed them at the crossing last time, it was not a common enmity, and it was impossible to commit such an undying life.

"Chief, are we really going to abandon the stockade? This is the inheritance of our ancestors for generations!" the Great Elder heard that Chief Lao Xili was planning to abandon the stockade, and hurriedly persuaded him.

"Prepare for the worst. Chief Old Siri sighed, "If you look at the wolves outside, there are four or five thousand of them." If they really don't remember their blood and don't want to hit with their lives, we won't be able to resist for long. To tell the truth, I hope that Zuo Liancheng and them will not come, it is good that there are more people, if there are fewer people, not only will they not solve much of a problem, but because they have no danger to defend outside, they are more likely to fall into the siege of wolves. ”

"Then do you want to inform them, so that when they arrive, don't rush to attack the wolves from behind, and take a look at the situation outside?"

"Just do as you say, ask Zuo Liancheng first, see where they are, and then tell him what we think. ”

Sure enough, as the chief expected, the demon wolf pack, which had been silent for less than ten minutes, started a new attack.

"Whoa—whoa—" and the whole pack of wolves rushed over again as if they were crazy, as if a whole group of soldiers had heard the clarion call for the last charge, and no longer cared about life and death, like a flood that had burst its banks.

Feathered arrows, boulders, logs, buckets of hot oil and boiling water fell from the walls and into the wolves.

One demon wolf after another fell, and another demon wolf rushed up from behind stepping on the corpses of his companions. The corpses of the demon wolves under the wall, the boulders and logs that had just been thrown down were piled up higher and higher, and the wolves that rushed up were getting closer and closer to the wall. This time the attack of the demon wolf changed the original method of attacking from the market at the same time, but concentrated the main forces to attack from the east of the stockade, while the other three sides and three directions were only surrounded but not moved.

"Chieftain, look, there are a lot of torches over there, they must have brought someone over there!" I don't know which sharp-eyed person suddenly saw the torches winding rapidly on the mountain road in the distance, and shouted in surprise.

"Quick, release the eagles at once, and inform them to attack from the west side of the stockade. We will arrange for people to go to the west gate to meet them, there are so many demon wolves outside, once they are surrounded by wolves, it will be dangerous. Chief Lao Siri looked at the torches that were hurrying in the distance, and not only did not show the joy of the arrival of reinforcements, but became more worried. When I sent a message to Zuo Liancheng in the afternoon, there were only about a thousand demon wolves besieging the village outside, but I didn't expect that after night, the number of demon wolves outside not only did not decrease. On the contrary, it multiplied several times at once.

"Yes!" Second Elder Dan Wanghai agreed, and hurriedly went down to find Yao Ying to send a message to Zuo Liancheng.

"Hurry up, brothers, let's go in through the west gate!" Zuo Liancheng, who received the chief's message, decisively gave the order to act, "There are too many saber-toothed demon wolves besieging the stockade, we must enter the stockade immediately, if we are surrounded by them outside the stockade, it will be dangerous." ”

None of the more than 100 people of the Qinglong tribe who came to the rescue with Zuo Liancheng and Qiao Wanshan raised objections, but they just quickened their pace, followed behind the three of them one by one, and ran quickly towards the west gate of the Shenlong tribe's village. Although they and the Shenlong tribe belong to two different tribes, they also belong to the Shenlong clan. On weekdays, you come and go, and there are more in-laws connected, and the family affection that blood is thicker than water makes these two tribes always like a family. Now that the Shenlong Tribe is in trouble, how can he retreat and stand by and watch.

"Brothers, rush!" The stockade was in front of him, Zuo Liancheng pulled out the long sword at his waist with a "brush", shouted, and rushed towards the demon wolves in front.

No hesitation, no flinching, no timidity. Everyone waved their weapons in unison, followed closely behind Zuo Liancheng, and rushed forward with a loud shout.

A saber-toothed demon wolf pressed its front paws to the ground, and its whole body rose into the air, opening its bloody mouth, waving its claws, and pounced towards Zuo Liancheng, as if it was about to swallow this thing that was smaller than himself in one bite.

Zuo Liancheng squatted slightly, let go of the wolf's head and front paws, and then the long sword was raised, "plop", pierced into the demon wolf's lower abdomen, and then used his strength to swipe and give the demon wolf a disembowelment.

Qiao Wanshan was also ruthless, and the thirty or forty pound-heavy iron spear in his hand slammed forward, and immediately passed through the neck of a demon wolf, and then with a shake of the spear, the demon wolf that had not yet died was flipped to the ground.

The other Qinglong tribesmen also fought with the demon wolves blocking in front of them, and the people fought and advanced, cooperating with each other, although the surrounding demon wolves continued to converge from this side, but with the people in the village to help, after killing more than a dozen saber-toothed demon wolves, everyone finally succeeded in entering the gate of the village.

"You're finally here, and you're all not hurt, right?" Scarface, who came to answer, asked uneasily.

"We're fine, only three or four people have minor injuries. I've heard my brother-in-law talk about you several times, and I know that you are a well-known hero. Qiao Wanshan stepped forward, arched his hand at Thunder Shock, and asked again, "Why are there so many saber-toothed demon wolves outside?

"We don't know what's going on, but since early this morning, the demon wolves have been besieging our stockade, and they won't die. ”

"Is it because we robbed them of their prey last time and brought them here?" asked Josia, remembering what had happened in the valley the other day.

"You snatched the prey of the saber-toothed demon wolf, what the hell is going on?" Qiao Wanshan didn't know anything about the things in the valley, and turned his head to look at his sister.

"Here's the thing, we didn't really have much of a conflict with them. When Josia saw her brother looking at her, she simply told her what had happened that day.

"If that were the case, the demon wolves would not have besieged the stockade so at all costs, and although you had taken their prey, you had done them no harm. There must be some other reason why they are so popular. ”

"Let's go over there and have a look, there are so many demon wolves in the east that I'm afraid the old chief won't be able to resist them. As for what caused this wolf plague, it will naturally be understood when the time comes. When Lei Zhentian came from the east just now, the situation there was already very critical, so he said very uneasily.

"Let's go and see. Qiao Wanshan waved his hand, and together with Zuo Liancheng and his wife, he led the people of the Qinglong tribe to the east of the walled gate.
