Chapter 128 Cavalry in the Beast Tide
After the spear throwers were placed, the wild people, under Li’s instructions, brought bundles of polished bone spears to the edge of the giant beast’s skull.
This place was temporarily set up as a city wall crenel, used to observe and shoot the herds of animals.
Estimating the time, Liu Xun knew that the second wave of beasts was almost coming.
This battle may not require Ben to fight in battle, so Liu Xun asked him to take over the slightly educated wild people and start training some simple military formations.
Liu Xun promised that if anyone could complete the training quickly, he would give the essence and blood of the alien beasts and martial arts skills.
After hearing this reward, the ignorant wild people were not very interested. However, after Ben’s fist education, they knew that they could have enough food and a better life, so they devoted themselves to it one by one. In training.
Liu Xun glanced at the spear thrower. He originally wanted to step off the top of the giant beast's bones, but suddenly, he seemed to remember something.
Although he was lucky enough to pass the second level in his previous life, some of the waves of beasts were a little weird.
Liu Xun was a little quick-witted at that time and came up with many ways to fight against the beast tide, and even used a lot of traps and the like.
The location where the beast tide appeared did not coincide with the trap, causing Liu Xun's arrangement to be invalidated.
If it was just a coincidence, it would make sense, but if it appeared two or three times in the six waves of beasts, it would explain the problem.
Liu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about it now, this should be a test for Wu Miao.
What is tested is the on-the-spot reaction and decision-making of the challenge breaker.
Liu Xun failed to pass this test in his previous life, and the best proof was that he finally passed the second level in embarrassment.
"So, what happened to the subsequent beast tide?" Liu Xun frowned and looked up at the sky in the secret realm.
The master of the secret realm can completely control this world. It is easy to temporarily change the beast tide according to the advance arrangements of the passers-by, and it can even make everyone face an unexpected crisis.
Thoughts were running through Liu Xun's mind, trying to think of "changes" that the master of the secret realm might make.
It is a pity that Liu Xun and other intruders were not given more time outside. The wild people who were responsible for observing the surrounding movements issued a warning.
Liu Xun moved closer to the edge of the giant beast's skull, and what came into view was the herd of beasts rushing over the plain.
The second wave of beasts has arrived!
Liu Xun's eyesight was better than that of the wild people. When he saw this wave of beasts, he couldn't help but snorted.
The master of the secret realm indeed took action.
There is no single herd of beasts there, it is clearly a mixture of two beasts, and neither of them are ordinary beasts.
There is often a powerful white ape that appears in the high mountains of Baiyu. This white ape is a kind of ape. It is not a ferocious beast, but it is very good at throwing and climbing. The powerful white ape Once apes reach a large scale, they will pose a great threat to the humans living around them.
However, the fat of this kind of white ape is thick and fragrant, and is often used to cook delicacies. Warriors from the above-ground cities usually come to hunt it.
Looking around, hundreds of white apes are riding on wild boars, rushing towards the bones of the giant beast.
The picture of a white ape riding a pig is a bit strangely funny, but what it represents is not simple.
These white apes have obviously been domesticated and have become cavalry among wild beasts.
Starting from the second wave, it is no longer a pure beast wave.
Because there is a gradual process, the second wave of beasts will be the beasts tamed by Wu Miao to attack the passers-by.
But Liu Xun was a little less lucky and met the powerful Alpine White Ape.
It can be said that of all the wild people present, except Ben, no one is the direct enemy of the White Ape.
The thick stone stick carried by the white ape can crush the skull of a wild man in one blow, and even a small scratch will cause serious injuries.
The wild boars they ride on are also carefully selected wild boars, and their endurance is much stronger than ordinary wild boars.
If Liu Xun sent Ben and the other wild people to fight, Ben would be seriously injured in less than one round, and none of the remaining wild people would survive.
It seems that the only way to defend against the enemy is to rely on standing firm, Liu Xun sighed. But whether it can stick to it is still a question.
After all, the white bones of the giant beast are not a real city wall. It has gone through a long time, and the fragile inside is not sure whether it can withstand the impact of the wild boar. Looking at this posture, I am afraid it will let the beast tide If you get close, the bones of the giant beast will be crushed.
Liu Xun no longer waited, raised his hand and said: "Shoot!"
Some nervous wild people, with sweaty palms, mounted their spears against the spear thrower, leaned on the baffle to secure the string, and followed Liu Xun's order, stepping hard on the baffle.
The baffle was stepped down, and the tight beast string shot out the spear.
A few streaks of white streaked across the sky, flying towards the direction of the herd.
The remaining spear throwers that were not aimed at the herd were also turned around, and then they fired spears polished from animal bones.
Due to the rush of time, the wild people who had never been trained to operate spear throwers missed a lot of shots, and only a few sporadic spears hit the herd.
The remaining force of the spear broke through the white ape's fur, penetrated into the body fiercely, and took several unlucky white apes away from the back of the wild boar.
However, these few spears are just a drop in the bucket for such a large group of beasts.
Liu Xun was not impatient, but directed the wild people who could understand human language to calibrate the direction of the spear thrower. He estimated that it was almost done, and once again shouted to the wild people to let go of the beast string.
This time, most of the spears fell into the herd.
Several wild people cheered upon seeing this and continued to throw spears according to Liu Xun's order.
With a simple operation and Liu Xun's non-stop judgment of angles, every spear thrown could fall into the herd, taking away the lives of a group of white apes and wild boars.
The fallen white ape and wild boar became a roadblock, tripping up many of their kind, and the herd was in chaos for a while.
Although the white apes have been tamed, their instinct to avoid danger makes them shrink back.
But the "resentment" rooted in their minds towards the passers-by keeps them moving forward.
This is the rule set by the master of the secret realm. There will be no end between the beast tide and the intruders!
The beast tide was stopped for a moment by the chain reaction of the spear projection, and then surged forward crazily again.
As the beast tide approaches, the spear thrower is no longer effective.
The angle of the spear thrower is upward. Once it enters a certain range, it can no longer be used to shoot the white ape.
Follow the normal steps of defending the city, it is time to "leave the city" and engage in close combat!
But Liu Xun has no cavalry, and the wild people under his command are no match for those white apes, so this battle cannot be a head-on confrontation.
The white ape rode the wild boar to the "Below the Bone City". The white ape screamed and jumped off the pig's back, using the stone stick to stop on the ground, but the wild boar mounts still hit the bones of the giant beast.
“Boom!”
The wild people on the giant beast’s skull suddenly felt violent vibrations, as if the place was about to collapse.
The predecessor of the giant beast's bones is unknown. Even after so many years of weathering, the bones are still very strong, at least they did not collapse directly under the impact of the wild boar.
But this situation cannot last long.
Liu Xun stabilized his body and said: "Go into the stream!"
Liu Xun had considered the safety of the giant beast's bones, but it turned out that it was not very secure now, so he could only enter the stream to make his next plan.
The wild boar kept bumping against the white bones. In less than half a cup of tea, the white bones were cracked by the impact. The spear thrower on the skull of the giant beast slipped and fell into the wild boar, knocking him unconscious. There were a few, and one unfortunate one was directly pierced through the head by the spear on the spear thrower.
Fortunately, the bones of the giant beast did not collapse, but were only knocked open by the wild boar. Otherwise, Liu Xun and the wild people under his command would be in danger of being buried.
Without the obstacle to their progress, the wild boars poured into the bones of the giant beast. A group of white apes behind them screamed and grabbed the ribs of the giant beast, swung their bodies, and jumped into the bones.
