Chapter 56 The enemy attacks
“Damn it, it’s coming so soon? Judging from the situation, the opponent should not be far from this camp.”
There is no time to dwell on this issue. After receiving the news, Shi Lei rushed to the outskirts of the black forest as soon as possible and directly ordered the slingers to come forward.
The other party is already aware of their existence, so there is no need to hide it.
Under this premise, the empty wasteland outside the black forest is just enough for the slingers to display their maximum value.
The stone bullets needed by the slingers, Shi Lei considered that a battle might break out at any time, so before it got dark yesterday, he had already sent several baskets of them over and stored them outside the dark forest.
There is nothing to say now. Just lay down the battle array and immediately launch an offensive as soon as the opponent enters their attack range.
The sling rotates at high speed, making a whirring sound.
As soon as the sling was turned, the primitive people on the opposite side seemed to react. After a commotion, the originally relatively densely packed stands quickly became dispersed.
Seeing this scene in his eyes, Shi Lei's face darkened.
In the previous battle between the Black Moon Tribe and the Salt Lake Tribe, he had personally experienced the power of the sling.
After joining Zhou Xu, he gained a deeper understanding of the sling.
He knew that the biggest drawback of the sling was its lack of accuracy.
Except for those with extraordinary talents like Zhou Chongshan, what the other slingers in their tribe can do now is basically to make the stone bullets fly in the general direction.
Under this premise, once the opponent evacuates their formation, the hit rate of the stone bullets will be pitifully low...
Shi Lei didn't think this was just an accident.
Judging from the reaction just now, the other party clearly noticed the existence of the sling and responded to it.
At the same time, battles broke out between tribes. In order to increase their offensive power, most of the tribe members advanced in groups. It was basically impossible to run in such a scattered manner.
This gave Shi Lei reason to suspect that the other party might know about the sling weapon.
For Shi Lei, this is not a good thing.
But now, he had no other choice but to follow the original plan, adjust the distance, and let the slingers start attacking, in order to bring some blow to the opponent.
And the result is completely predictable.
Facing the well-prepared enemy, the limited slingers hardly posed much of a threat to them.
At that moment, the distance between the two sides quickly closed, and Shi Lei made a prompt decision and issued the order directly.
“Retreat to the woods!”
The number of people on the opposite side far exceeded them. From a glance, there were at least thirty or forty people.
Looking at their Salt Lake Camp, including Shi Lei himself, there were only nineteen people who came out.
There is no chance of winning in a head-on fight. It is a wise idea to hide in the dark forest and use the geographical advantages brought by the dark forest to deal with the opponent.
A chaotic battle soon started in the dark woods.
However, the trees in this dark forest are not lush enough after all, and the geographical advantage they can bring to Shi Lei and the others is relatively limited.
Relying on the limited geographical advantage, facing an enemy whose number was twice as many as their own, by the time Zhou Xu and the others arrived nearby, Shi Lei and the others were already being beaten back steadily, and at the same time, all of them were injured. .
With the power of the 'Eye of Insight', Zhou Xu quickly found their traces.
Without time to think about it, he quickly led Zhou Chongshan and others to join the battle group.
Holding a stone axe, Zhou Chongshan was unstoppable along the way. He quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding enemies after cutting down three members of the enemy tribe along the way.
"Hey! Come here, come here and help!"
Amid the shouts, members of the enemy tribes gathered towards this side. As soon as they turned around, they were surrounded by a dozen enemies holding bone spears.
However, facing this battle, Zhou Xu was not at all panicked at this time.
With Zhou Chongshan alone, in terms of combat strength, they would not be afraid of facing more than a dozen enemies, let alone him.
No need to talk nonsense, facing the siege, Zhou Chongshan and the others immediately threw the skeletons on their backs to the ground.
At the same time, Zhou Xu directly activated the mantra without saying a word.
【Skeleton soldier control! 】
In an instant, with the sound of 'clicking', the skeleton soldiers with green will-o'-the-wisps burning in their eyes got up from the ground one after another.
This scene undoubtedly frightened the enemy on the opposite side.
“It’s moving, the bones are moving!!!”
Amidst the screams, by coincidence, the clouds in the sky also moved accordingly, blocking the sun even more tightly, which was already blocked behind the clouds, making the whole world a little darker at this moment.
The gloomy sky, the skeletons with burning will-o'-the-wisps in their eye sockets, and the strange-looking trees in the dark forest.
The scene was so weird that the enemies on the opposite side were so frightened that their hairs stood up, their entire momentum suddenly evaporated, and they stepped back unconsciously.
During this process, Zhou Chongshan would not be polite to them. He led five tribe members, wielding stone axes, and rushed forward. Whoever he caught would be given a blow with the ax.
When bone spears were used in the past, their lethality was relatively limited.
Under normal circumstances, unless it stabs a fatal vital point, it is difficult to cause effective damage to the opponent and render the opponent incapable of combat.
But now, after the weapon is replaced by a stone axe, the destructive power has undoubtedly been greatly improved.
In addition, Zhou Zhongshan’s attacks are always very explosive. If the ax hits the head, the opponent will most likely not survive, and if it hits the hands and feet, it will also be a serious injury. Muscles move bones.
Now that the two sides are at war, it is naturally impossible for Zhou Chongshan to show mercy.
Not to mention that they are now facing many enemies with fewer enemies. In order to ensure their own chances of winning, it is important to quickly reduce the opponent's combat power.
With this thought in mind, Zhou Chongshan's every move must be as fierce as possible.
An enemy couldn't dodge when the ax hit him, and his head exploded like a watermelon.
In just a blink of an eye, in the eyes of the enemy, Zhou Chongshan’s terror had completely overwhelmed the previous skeleton soldiers!
In this life-and-death era, Zhou Xu had no sympathy for those enemies. He glanced away and saw the skeleton soldiers around him picking up the passed bone spear weapons and moving with them.
Following Zhou Xu's instructions, he stabbed in one direction in a row, forcing back the figure who was trying to launch an attack.
The other party obviously did not expect that his attack would be seen through.
After quickly jumping away a few times to ensure his own safety, the expression on the figure's face was more of a shock than annoyance that the attack failed.
In this regard, Zhou Xu was very calm. The guy did move quickly and lightly, but he could not escape the sight of his 'Eye of Insight'!
And just when Zhou Xu was thinking this, the other party's voice rang out...
"Now it's completely confirmed, you are the one who uses mantra to control these skeletons!"
"..."
The update is sent, and I would like to thank the book friends "Casual and Simple" and "Hua Ge Xiaotiandi" for their rewards!
