Chapter 198 Beasts under the Night
In the wilderness after dark, it is basically impossible to see even one’s fingertips. However, torches and fires have been lit in various parts of their village, maintaining a certain level of comfort. visual acuity.
But even so, the sentry standing on the watchtower on the hill, looking around, couldn't see very far.
However, it was quiet at night after all. The beast was huge and heavy, and the sound it made when its four wide paws stepped on the snow could not be concealed at all.
The movement here quickly attracted the attention of the night watchman. Looking closely, he immediately discovered the pair of eyes that glowed green in the night.
At this time, the vigil sentry was not too nervous.
At night in this era, it is completely normal for some nocturnal beasts to appear nearby.
They often encounter this kind of thing seven or eight times a night.
If he finds a pair of green eyes, he will immediately ring the alarm bell. Then everyone will not have to sleep all night, just listen to the alarm bell ringing there.
With this mentality, the night watch sentry took a deep breath, opened his eyes wide, and carefully identified the appearance of the beast.
Until that thick front leg stepped into the firelight!
There was no need to look any further. Just from the thickness of the forelimbs, he could tell that what was coming must be a burly beast.
Without time to think too much, the night watch sentry quickly picked up the hammer at hand and rang the bronze bell next to him hastily.
The sound of the copper bell quickly spread throughout the village. Zhou Xu, who was sleeping soundly at the time, suddenly woke up. He had no time to think about it, so he quickly put on his clothes and hurried outside the house.
At this moment, everyone is already awake.
Just after running outside the house, people were still in the residential area. From a long distance away, they heard a roar, which completely shattered the tranquility of the night. At the same time, it also caused the people headed by Zhou Xu to Everyone was shocked.
Needless to say, the roar clearly told them that a wild beast had attacked their camp.
At the same time, this movement is not something that just any little beast can do.
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking this, the figure of the other party broke into his field of vision.
That ferocious posture, as well as the two sharp teeth like sword blades on its mouth, needless to say, it was the saber-toothed tiger that they had encountered several times on the grassland before!
It had been a while since they had seen this saber-toothed tiger.
Although it was at night and the field of view was not clear, Zhou Xu could still see that the saber-toothed tiger was obviously two times thinner than it was then. It was already a bit skinny now. mean.
The animals are hiding this winter, and there was a blizzard before, so hunting at this time is not easy.
Anyone with eyes can tell that this saber-toothed tiger is obviously hungry.
It was precisely because of this that they attacked their village regardless. Normally, the saber-toothed tiger would never come close to this place.
[Skeleton Soldier Summoned! 】
When the mantra is activated, no matter what, call all the skeleton soldiers in the nearby area over first.
During this period, the saber-toothed tiger didn't seem to have any intention of confronting them head-on. He jumped over and ran directly in the other direction.
Looking at that direction, Zhou Xu's expression suddenly changed.
"The feedlot! It is going to the feedlot!"
At this time, although the breeding ground has not been rebuilt, the horses and bison in the camp must have enough space to settle down. So while the snow was getting lighter, he led his people near the ruins of the feeding ground. A shed was built to temporarily house the horses and bison. Not to mention the bison, he had already lost some horses due to the previous snowstorm, and Zhou Xu had no intention of further increasing this loss.
The skeleton soldiers are still on their way, and the saber-toothed tiger is moving so fast that there is no way to intercept it at this time.
At the critical moment, Zhou Chongshan simply bent his bow and drew an arrow without saying a word.
As soon as he came up, he showed the unique skill of connecting arrows. This was not taught to him by Zhou Xu, but was figured out by Zhou Chongshan himself when he was practicing bow skills.
The whole movement was as smooth as flowing clouds and water, and three arrows were shot at the saber-toothed tiger one after another.
The moving saber-toothed tiger was undoubtedly aware of it, but the arrows were so fast and fierce that by the time it reacted, the arrows had already sunk into its butt and back along with blooming blood flowers. .
"Roar!!!!"
The severe pain caused the saber-toothed tiger to roar again. The deafening roar made everyone present feel frightened.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Chitose jumped out from the crowd, his hair exploded, his tail stood up high, he opened his mouth at the saber-toothed tiger, and responded with a beast roar!
In Chitose's opinion, when the saber-toothed tiger's roar fell into its ears, it was Chiguoguo's provocation.
It couldn't stand hearing it in any sense, so it naturally wanted to jump out and retaliate, lest the other party think that it was easy to bully.
Although the momentum is not bad, Chitose is still less than a year old. Compared with the saber-toothed tiger that is as big as a car, it has no deterrent effect at all.
During this whole process, although the saber-toothed tiger was surprised by its existence, it did not take it seriously at all.
However, during this interruption, the skeleton soldiers who were in the camp at that time undoubtedly rushed over under the influence of the power of the mantra.
The leader was none other than the fifteen hyena skeletons!
【Skeleton soldier control! 】
【The skeleton soldiers are strengthened! 】
【The control of skeleton soldiers is enhanced! 】
【The speed of skeleton soldiers is enhanced! 】
A series of mantras continued to come out of Zhou Xu's mouth. In order to keep his cavalry mounts, Zhou Xu was really full of firepower from the very beginning!
An ordinary primitive tribe can basically kill him with this combination of punches, supplemented by a skeleton army headed by fifteen hyena skeletons!
But this time the situation is different.
The explosive power of the saber-toothed tiger is too fast, and its physical fitness in all aspects is also higher than that of the hyena human skeleton.
Facing the hyena skeleton trying to intercept it, the saber-toothed tiger broke out and broke through the blockade formed by them in the most arrogant manner. With the speed of the hyena skeleton, it was impossible to catch up with it.
During this period, it was Zhou Chongshan who never stopped after firing his bow. The continuous attacks made it very angry.
A beast in a hungry state will be more irritable than usual. In this case, the stimulation of pain makes it even more crazy.
All of a sudden, the pair of eyes that glowed green in the dark began to become bloodshot.
Then a roar was heard, and the saber-toothed tiger, who was obviously a little bit blinded by anger, actually pounced directly on Zhou Chongshan!
