Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains - Chapter 179
After the two waves of hyena dragon path-detecting attacks, the hyena dragon group stopped moving, and after waiting for an hour or two, the leaders of the other three city walls gathered one after another.
“They only tentatively attacked the main entrance twice and didn’t move. The Hyena dragons surrounded by the other three sides didn’t even move. What are they going to do?” Seeing the current situation, Ah Zhang was very puzzled.
“The last time they attacked our tribe, they sent the Hyena Dragon to break a gap in the city wall before they started to act.” Regarding the night attack suffered by the Luoshui tribe, Asu arrived here not long after He had already described it to everyone, but he still couldn’t understand the movements of the Hyena Dragon.
“Are they going to use the old method to break through the walls?”
“There are defensive wooden stakes inlaid on the city wall. If the Hyena Dragon wants to smash the ice with its body like last time, I am afraid that it will be pierced by those wooden stakes?” After all, those wooden stakes are made of the hardest It is made of slashed wood, with some extremely sharp iron rods interspersed in it. If the Hyena Dragons dare to hit them with all their strength, I believe they will peel off their skins even if they don’t die.
“Do you think…” Listening to everyone’s discussion, Chen Qi was silent for a while, then paused after speaking, and then frowned and said his guess, “These hyena dragons seem to be Thinking?”
Yes, thinking. Chen Qi still remembers the first time he saw the Hyena Dragon. At that time, the Hyena Dragon was hunting creatures on the plains, but no matter how ferocious it looked at that time, it gave Chen Qi the feeling that it was a beast, one that was clever for survival. The beasts that ambushed their prey were not too different from the beasts in animal documentaries he had seen on TV before.
But the second time I met Hyena Dragon, it was already that Hyena Dragon used its ability to burrow to sneak into the wall they built. Although Hyena Dragon still maintained its animal nature at that time, it obviously gave Chen Qi the feeling that it was very smart and very smart. Cunningly, they seem to act after a certain plan has been negotiated in advance, with everything from raids to retreats in mind. This kind of behavior that is too humane made Chen Qi very concerned at that time.
And now, the hyena dragons besieged outside are a group of beasts, rather than a well-trained army, and their leader is the commander. They will also move forward inexorably, and they even know how to learn from experience, and the second group of Hyena dragons will obviously take the initiative to avoid those traps.
Is this still the beast that Chen Qi is familiar with?
After listening to Chen Qi’s analysis, everyone fell into silence for a while.
Looking at Chen Qi with a frown and a tangled face, A Ze stretched out his hand to hold the other party’s tightly covered wrist, “No matter what they are, they are our enemies, and this is impossible to change.”
Hyena dragons will die if they don’t attack the orcs, and the orcs will die if they don’t resist. Nature’s choice does not allow them to coexist peacefully just because they know each other.
“They’re here again.” Ake, who was still sitting on the battlements, interrupted everyone’s discussion.
Everyone quickly cheered up and looked out of the city, only to see another group of hyena dragons coming up from behind. This time the number of hyena dragons was more than the previous two times. Come, a cloud of snow dust is raised behind you.
Still the same attack and defense as before, when the Hyena Dragon entered the attack range of the crossbow, the orcs guarding the front gate began to bend their bows and arrows at the same time, and the first Hyena Dragon raised its head and countless wooden arrows rushed towards it. Shoot them straight away.
But this time the Hyena dragon is obviously prepared. No matter how seriously injured, it will no longer easily expose its fragile eyes and throat to the bow and arrow of the orcs. Seeing that they nimbly bypass the exposed traps, they will break through the first. During the defense of the Deer Village, Chen Qi nodded to A Ze who was beside him, “Light the Deer Village.”
A Ze heard the words, and the other two female sons picked up the specially made rocket arrows next to them, and lit them on the fire plate next to them.
“咻咻咻”, the three flaming arrows landed on the first deer village accurately, and then three fell on the side. The wood that had been specially treated burned for a while, and the dragon rushed to the front. A raging fire suddenly ignited in front of him. The fire started from the lit Luzhai and quickly spread to the adjacent Luzhai. Within a few minutes, a circle of fire started to ignite around the entire Qi Ze City.
Seeing that it had broken through all the potholes on the ground and was about to approach the city wall, the hyena dragons stopped because of the sudden flames. Beasts have a natural fear of fire. , Even with the leader’s order in front, it stopped. The crossbows on the city wall took advantage of this opportunity to shoot arrows. Many Hyena dragons leaning in front wanted to avoid the oncoming arrows, but also wanted to stay away from the oncoming arrows. The heat wave that was so close at hand began to move towards the flat snowfields all around. There was no doubt the sound of heavy objects falling, and the Hyena dragon fell into the traps hidden under the silent snow.
For the safety of the tribe, the places outside the Luzhai within the attack range of the bows and arrows have long been hollowed out by the orcs. If the Hyena Dragons dare to spread out and attack the tribe. It is estimated that half of the hyena carcasses would be required to fill the potholes.
I don’t know if the Hyena Dragon leader saw something. Obviously, the Hyena Dragon leader didn’t plan to sacrifice so many of his subordinates.
Due to Luzhai’s reasons, the Hyena Dragon’s attack was blocked. Although the number of Hyena Dragons in the third wave was much larger, when the opponent rushed to the last barrier, they were knocked down to the ground with only bows and arrows.
Except for the more and more exposed potholes, the road that the Hyena dragons walked on has been dyed red by their blood, and from a distance it seems to be a slightly mottled blood road.
The Hyena Dragon leader squinted his eyes and looked at the wall of fire blocking his subordinates. He neither ordered them to forcibly rush past, nor ordered them to withdraw, but just stood there and watched silently until those Hyena Dragons All were shot down by arrows.
This time, it did not order to attack again, and just stopped to confront the orcs on the city wall, as if back to the days of confrontation with the lion and wolf tribe.
Until it was dark, the hyena dragons did not attack again. A Zhang asked people to take turns to rest. Although Chen Qi really wanted to stay, his body was not as strong as the females, especially when it was dark. The temperature dropped a few degrees, plus the cold wind that kept digging into the body in all directions on the city wall, and finally had to return to the tribe first. However, before leaving, Ah Zhang also found out that the Hyena Dragon had the intention of attacking and had to send someone to tell him.
A Zhang naturally understands the seriousness of this matter. There is no one here who knows how to use those traps better than Chen Qi. Even though they discussed several defense plans, they finally solemnly promised to send someone once the Hyena Dragon made a move. Going to Chen Qi, Chen Qi was relieved to leave with Aze.
Because they had to go to the city wall at any time, the two did not hide in the cellar in the school, but returned to their own home. A Ze helped Chen Qi to boil hot water and soaked his already frozen body before simply eating something and laying down on the already warm kang bed to rest.
This time, the Hyena Dragon stopped for three days without any movement. During the period, there was a snowstorm. The Luzhai had been burnt down and turned into a thin layer of black charcoal ash, and was covered by the snowstorm. From the bottom of those potholes, the roar of the Hyena Dragons would be heard from time to time, and the group of Hyena Dragons that seemed to be ice sculptures in the distance, Chen Qi almost thought that the threat of Qi Ze City had been lifted.
At about noon on the fourth day, the hyena group finally moved again. It was still the main entrance, and it was still the road where several hyena dragons fell into the trap that had exposed the trap. This time it was no longer the hyena. Dragon, but a group of iron armored dragons.
“Why is it an Iron Armored Dragon?” The orcs on the city wall looked at the Iron Armored Dragon who slowly walked out from behind the Hyena Dragons, and their expressions became more and more solemn.
The orcs who were still resting in batches returned to their posts one after another. Their hearts were more nervous than when the Hyena Dragons came here on the first day, and they vaguely felt that something was coming.
There are also quite a few iron armored dragons this time, and a rough estimate is afraid that there are hundreds of them. In addition to the iron armored dragons, there are also a group of two or three hundred hyena dragons.
Different from the previous tentative petty fights, it seems that the Hyena Dragon is about to launch a real attack this time.
Chen Qi glanced at the orcs who gathered back to the main entrance because there were no Hyena dragons attacking other city walls, “I’m afraid those traps can’t stop them this time.” The previous traps said that they were hunting Hyena dragons, but the main purpose was only to intimidate There are more hyena dragons. Chen Qi knows that hyena dragons are smart, and he hopes that these hyena dragons will be frightened away by these annoying traps. Obviously, it is impossible now.
“Hey!” A huge crossbow arrow hit the Iron Armored Dragon running at the front. A crisp crash sounded along with a few sparks, and the Iron Armored Dragon’s body was staggered by the sudden impact of the arrow. , and then quickly stabilized his body shape, and continued to follow the troops to bypass those traps and rush forward.
As expected of the dragon with the strongest scales in the world, the arrows of the crossbow can’t even damage the iron armor except for hitting a dark red mark on the opponent’s iron armor, and their fragile eyes are always lowered. , couldn’t find any flaws at all.
The iron armored dragon group and the hyena dragon group behind them easily stepped through the place where the deer village was loaded before, and they were about to rush to the front of the city wall.
“Fire arrows.”
Following Chen Qi’s order, a row of rockets rustled down and hit the deer in the second row. The flames rang out among the iron armored dragons along with bursts of explosions. For the thick-skinned ironclad dragons, these small-scale explosions can’t cause them much damage, but obviously this unnatural sound really frightened them, and they didn’t. Then they rushed forward neatly and whole-heartedly, but to avoid these explosions and the sharp stones scattered with the explosions began to collide left and right, and the surrounding traps and potholes were trampled by them one by one, and they could no longer tell the difference. If there are traps around, they fell into the huge potholes one by one.
