Chapter 40: The Wolf Plague (1)
It is said that since Zuo Liancheng and his wife left the stone room, they waited left and right at the entrance of the cave, until noon the next day, but they still did not see Xiao Jian come out of the cave. I wanted to go in and have a look, but I was worried that I would be attacked inexplicably like last time, and when I was in a dilemma, I suddenly saw the black Yao Eagle that I used to send a message to the clan last time flying rapidly from the air towards my side, and soon came to the two of them, and fell in the palm of Zuo Liancheng's palm.
Zuo Liancheng took out the note from the bamboo tube at Yao Ying's feet, and as soon as he read it, his face changed greatly.
"What's wrong? Is there something going on at home?" Seeing that her husband's face was not good, Josia suddenly felt an ominous feeling in her heart, and hurriedly asked.
The tribe is besieged by wolves, and the old chief wants us to go to the Qinglong tribe to ask for reinforcements. Zuo Liancheng frowned and handed the note in his hand to his wife.
"Do you still want to ask for reinforcements?Is the situation so serious?" Josie took the note and looked at it, only to see that it was written, "In the early hours of this morning, the demon fox was trapped in the village, because of its large number, it was impossible to enter and exit. After seeing the letter, he quickly went to Qinglong for help. That's right. “
"Do you want us to go to the Qinglong tribe to ask for reinforcements? Could it be that there are so many demon wolves this time that the clansmen can't go out to report the news?" Cassia was a little incredulous. Deep in such a mountain, conflicts with demons, besieged by demon beasts, and even bitten by demon beasts occur almost every year. But the phenomenon of the entire village being besieged by demon beasts is extremely rare, and even if there is, it only looks tense, as long as it is strictly guarded. In less than three or two hours, the demon beast will disperse on its own. But this time, according to the letter, the siege of the village by the demon wolf began early in the morning.
"We have to hurry up and deliver the letter to the Qinglong tribe, if we go late, even if the Qinglong tribe comes to the rescue, I will suffer a big loss. "Zuo Liancheng has seen the power of the saber-toothed demon wolf two days ago, that is a guy who has launched a madness, and even the Golden Horn Demon Tiger can be killed, it is definitely not a good kind.
"But what about Young Master Xiao, he hasn't come out until now, and he doesn't know what's going on now. Josia was also very anxious, but she was still a little relieved that Xiao Jian hadn't come out of the stone room yet.
"I can't wait, I'll go in and have a look now, it's really not good, then we can only go first, we can leave him a note, leave some white food for him, and after he comes out, he will naturally go back to us." "Zuo Liancheng has seen a lot of the world in the end, and he is more decisive in dealing with the incident.
After leaving his wife to add fodder to the horse first, he walked alone to the stone room where Xiao Jian was. But as soon as he arrived at the door of the stone chamber, before he could walk in, he was suddenly hit by a huge yuan force that suddenly poured out of the stone chamber, and the whole person flew back upside down, slammed heavily on the stone wall of the cave, and fell down.
Fortunately, Zuo Liancheng had already taken precautions, and did not use his luck to resist, but when that strong force attacked, he had already begun to retreat rapidly, Rao was still shocked, and he was so shocked that his blood was surging, and he opened his mouth to spray a mouthful of blood on the ground, embarrassed. However, just now, between the lightning and fire, Zuo Liancheng also faintly glimpsed the scene in the room - Xiao Jian was pinching the chess pieces in his hand, sitting on the stone chair and playing chess with all his attention, and it seemed that there was no big problem.
Zuo Liancheng Yuan Force operated, and after the internal breath calmed down a little, he stood up, glanced at the door of the stone room, and did not stay any longer, but turned back and walked towards the entrance of the cave. Since Xiao Jian has not yet solved the chess game, and there is no major problem, he can leave with confidence.
Zuo Liancheng and his wife put down all the food on their bodies, brought a few big stones, blocked the entrance to the cave, and then left a few words on one of the stones, telling Xiao Jian that there was an emergency in the tribe and that he needed to go back immediately, and at the same time told him that after he came out, if he was not there, he just went back to the clan to look for it.
After cleaning up all this, the two flew on their horses and galloped all the way, without a moment's delay on the road, and finally arrived at the Qinglong tribe at dusk.
"Sister, brother-in-law, why are you two here?Ah, brother-in-law, why are there still blood stains on your body?What happened?" Qiao Wanshan, who was doing a bowl of spiritual tea, leisurely watching several of his subordinates carrying the things he had just purchased into the house, saw his sister and brother-in-law coming hurriedly on horseback, and there were still blood stains on his brother-in-law's clothes, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly let the two into the house.
"I just got a little bit injured, it's not a big deal. Is your chief, Mr. Qiao Jingshiqiao, in the tribe? If so, take us quickly, we have urgent matters to see. After speaking, Zuo Liancheng said a few words and briefly explained the meaning of this visit.
"How could such a thing happen? In broad daylight, so many demon wolves surrounded the entire Shenlong Tribe's stockade?" Although Zuo Liancheng had already made things very clear, Qiao Wanshan was still a little incredulous.
"Wan Shan, I don't have time to explain, that's what the letter says, you can take us to your chieftain quickly, it's too late. Seeing that her brother still didn't believe it, Josia couldn't help but urge. His son and daughter are still in the tribe, and if something really happens, how can he live?
"Okay, okay, you can go with us, even if the chief is not at home, I can arrange for people to support you first. Qiao Wanshan, of course, was a person who understood the priorities of the matter, and when he saw his sister talking like this, he quickly stood up and rushed to the chief's house with the two of them.
It's been dark for a long time. The whole Shenlong tribe's stockade was brightly lit, and the young and strong people in the clan, both men and women, all of whom had some combat effectiveness, all held bows, arrows, knives and guns in their hands, patrolling back and forth on the wall, and everyone's faces were full of anxiety and exhaustion.
It is already the third attack to repel the demon wolf, outside the wooden tall wall, there are hundreds of saber-toothed demon wolf corpses, large and small, and this is not all, because in the first two impacts, the corpses of the demon wolves killed by the clansmen have almost been eaten by those demon wolves who are still alive, and what I see now is only part of the corpses left after the third attack of the demon wolves. Many places on the walled wall were also damaged, and more than a dozen demon wolves successfully rushed into the village in the attack just now, and after biting twenty or thirty people one after another, they were successfully killed under the concerted efforts of everyone.
"Chief Chief, if we continue like this, I'm afraid the situation will not be good! We don't have many arrows left, the most important thing is that everyone is tired for a day, and I'm afraid there won't be much combat power left. I'm worried that if this continues, the demon wolves outside will attack a few more times, and I'm afraid the stockade will be difficult to hold. Scarface was chasing down the demon wolves that rushed in, and a deep cut was made in the shoulder by the claws of a demon wolf, and although it was bandaged, it was still bleeding out. Just now, he and the Great Elder went to inspect it, and saw that everyone was very tired, panicked, and very anxious.
"This group of demon wolves is really evil, as if they can't be killed, so many have been killed, and there are so many. Are you really going to spend it with us? Never die?" Chief Elder Siri was also full of depression, looking at the outside of the stockade, gray, dense, and the demon wolves that could not be seen at a glance, he couldn't figure it out in his heart, he was almost a hundred years old, but so many wolves besieged a stockade at the same time, let alone seen it, and he had never even heard of it.
"I told you a long time ago, don't go and get the corpse of the snake king. Now, you have snatched their prey from his hand, and their vengeance has come. "I don't know what Dan Ivan thinks in his heart, but he hasn't forgotten to brush his sense of existence until now, and he is still talking about cool things.
"What do you mean? Don't say that the demon wolves outside may not have anything to do with us snatching their prey at all, even if they do. When you first acted, everyone agreed, and you got a more or less share of what you got back. I didn't see you when I got the benefits, and now that I'm in trouble, I came out and said cool things? What the hell, do you want to make a face?" Scarface Lei Zhentian didn't expect Dan Ivan to speak so ugly, and a wave of anger rose from his heart, pointing at Dan Ivan's nose and began to scold his mother.
"Shut up for me! When do you still have the heart to fight here?" Seeing that Dan Ivan had come to shake the army's heart at this time, the old Xili chief wanted to give him two slaps immediately, but when he thought that it was an extraordinary period, the impact of the commander before the battle was not good. suppressed the anger and shouted to stop the two of them, and suppressed a conflict between Mars and the Earth that was about to erupt. Then he ordered, "You, you, you, and you, go and inform the ladies in the group, and let them bring all the prepared meals to the wall, and we will eat here." Also, Old Zhangtou, you go and bring over all the healing pills and pills that replenish your Yuan Force, there will definitely be a fierce battle next, and maybe more people will be injured. ”
"Chieftain, did you say that Zuo Liancheng has received our letter? It stands to reason that by this time, the people from the Qinglong tribe should have come, right?"
"I should have received it, and I sent the message in the afternoon. If I'm not bad, the people of the Blue Dragon Tribe should be here soon. After Chief Lao Xili finished speaking, he pondered for a while, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his head and said to Scarface Lei Zhentian, "You go and gather all the dry wood here, and it is better to pour some oil, if it really doesn't work, we have to attack with fire." ”
"So, will it burn to our own stockade? The wind is a little strong tonight, and the fire may not be easy to control. "The houses of the Shennong tribe are basically made of wood, which is easy to catch fire, and Scarface Lei Zhentian is a little worried about setting himself on fire.
"Be careful, it should be fine, but the barn outside the wall and the other crops that have not yet had time to harvest may not be saved. Fortunately, most of the cattle have been driven into the stockade, and the rest of them may have already fallen into the mouth of the demon wolf and become their meal. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it. Stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, as long as the people in the village are okay, what is the loss. Scarface agreed, and turned to leave.
