Chapter 128 Cavalry in the Beast Tide
After the spear throwers were set up, 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 battlement on the city wall to observe and shoot the beasts.

After estimating the time, Liu Xun knew that the second wave of beast tide was almost coming.

Ben might not be needed to fight in this battle, so Liu Xun asked him to take over the slightly educated wild folk and start training them in some simple military formations.

Liu Xun promised that whoever could complete the training quickly would be given the blood of exotic beasts and martial arts skills.

After hearing about the reward, the ignorant wild people were not very interested, but after being educated by Ben's fists and knowing that they could have enough food and a better life, they began to devote themselves to training one by one.

Liu Xun glanced at the spear thrower and was about to step down from the top of the giant beast's bones, but suddenly, he seemed to remember something.

Although he managed to pass the second level in his previous life, some waves of beasts were a bit strange.

Liu Xun was quick-witted at that time and came up with many ways to fight the beast tide, including using a lot of traps.

Unfortunately, the direction where the beast tide appeared did not coincide with the trap, rendering Liu Xun's arrangement invalid.

If it was just a coincidence it would be understandable, but if it appeared two or three times in six waves of beasts, that would be a problem.

Liu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly. Now thinking about it, this should be a test for Wu Miao.

What is tested is the on-the-spot reaction and decision-making of the challenger.

The fact that Liu Xun failed this test in his previous life, and the fact that he managed to pass the second level in a miserable way was the best proof of that.

"So, there will be changes in the subsequent beast tide?" Liu Xun frowned and looked up at the sky in the secret realm.

The master of the secret realm has complete control over this world. It is very easy for him to temporarily change the beast tide based on the advance arrangements of the challengers. He can even make everyone face an unexpected crisis.

Liu Xun’s mind was full of thoughts, trying to figure out the “changes” that the controller of the secret realm might make.

Unfortunately, there was not much time left for Liu Xun and the other invaders outside, and the wild people who were responsible for observing the movements around them sounded the alarm.

Liu Xun moved to the edge of the giant beast's skull, and what came into his sight was a herd of beasts galloping across the plain.

The second wave of beasts has arrived!
Liu Xun's eyesight was better than the wild people's, but when he saw this wave of beasts, he couldn't help but snort.

The controller of the secret realm did take targeted measures.

That was not a single group of beasts at all, it was clearly a mixture of two kinds of beasts, and neither of them were ordinary beasts.

A kind of powerful white ape often appears on the high mountains of Baiyu. This white ape is a kind of monkey. It is not a ferocious beast, but it is very good at throwing and climbing. Once the powerful white ape reaches a certain size, it will pose a great threat to the humans living around it.

However, the fat of this white ape is thick and fragrant, and is often used to cook delicacies. Usually, warriors from the cities on the ground will go to hunt it.

Looking around, there were hundreds of white apes riding on wild boars, rushing towards the direction of the giant beast's bones.

The picture of a white ape riding a pig is surprisingly funny, but what it represents is not simple.

These white apes have obviously been domesticated and have become cavalry among wild beasts.

From the second wave onwards, it was no longer a pure tide of wild beasts.

Because it is a gradual process, the second wave of beasts will be led by the five Miao domesticated wild beasts to attack the challengers.

Liu Xun was a little less lucky and encountered a powerful mountain white ape.

It can be said that among all the wild people present, except Ben, no one is a direct enemy of the white ape.

The thick stone stick in the white ape's hand can smash the wild people's skull in one blow, and even a slight scratch will cause serious injury.

The wild boars they ride are also carefully selected wild boars, and their endurance is much greater than that of ordinary wild boars.

If Liu Xun sent Ben and the other wild people to fight, Ben would probably be seriously injured in less than one round, and none of the remaining wild people would survive.

It seems that we can only rely on holding out to resist the enemy, Liu Xun sighed. But whether we can hold out is still a question.

After all, the giant beast's bones are not a real city wall. They have been through a long time, and it is unknown whether the fragile interior can withstand the impact of wild boars. Judging from the current situation, if the beast tide approaches, the giant beast's bones will be knocked down.

Liu Xun no longer waited, raised his hand and said, "Shoot!"

Some of the nervous folks had sweaty palms. They installed their spears on the spear thrower, put the bowstring on the baffle, and followed Liu Xun's order, stepping hard on the baffle.

The baffle was stepped down, and the taut beast string shot the spear out.

Several white streaks streaked across the sky and flew towards the herd of beasts.

The remaining spear throwers that were not aimed at the herd were also turned around, and they immediately shot out spears made of animal bones.

Because of the tight time schedule, the wild folks who had never been trained in operating spear throwers missed many of their targets, and only a few spears hit the herd.

The spear, with its remaining force still intact, broke through the white ape's fur and penetrated deeply into its body, carrying several unfortunate white apes off the wild boar's back.

However, these few spears were just a drop in the bucket for such a large herd of beasts.

Liu Xun did not get impatient, but instead directed the wild folks who could understand human language to calibrate the direction of the spear throwers. When he estimated that it was almost time, he shouted again and ordered the wild folks to release the bowstrings.

This time, most of the spears fell into the herd.

Seeing this, several wild folks cheered and continued to throw spears according to Liu Xun's orders.

With simple operations and Liu Xun's constant judgment of the angles, every time he threw a spear, it would fall into the herd of beasts, taking away the lives of a group of white apes and wild boars.

The fallen white apes and wild boars became roadblocks, tripping up many of their own kind, causing the herd to become a little chaotic for a while.

Although the white apes have been tamed, their instinct to avoid danger makes them retreat a little.

But the "resentment" rooted in their minds towards the challengers keeps them moving forward.

This is the rule set by the controller of the secret realm. The beast tide and the challengers will fight to the death!
The beast tide was stopped for a moment by the chain reaction of the spear projection, and then rushed forward madly again.

As the beast tide approached, the spear throwers were no longer effective.

The angle of the spear thrower is upward, and once it enters a certain range, it can no longer be used to shoot the white ape.

According to the normal steps of defending the city, we should "leave the city" and engage in close combat at this time!

But Liu Xun had no cavalry, and the wild people under his command were no match for the white apes, so this battle could not be a head-on confrontation.

The white ape rode a wild boar to the "Bone City". The white ape jumped off the pig's back with a strange cry and stopped on the ground with the help of a stone stick, while the wild boar mounts continued to charge towards the giant bone beast.

"boom!"

The wild people on the giant beast's skull suddenly felt a violent vibration, as if the place was about to collapse.

It is unknown what kind of creature the giant beast's bones were originally. 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 did not last long.

Liu Xun steadied himself and said, "Go into the stream!"

Liu Xun considered the safety of the giant beast's bones and found them to be unreliable. He could only enter the stream to carry out the next plan.

The wild boars kept ramming the bones, and in less than half a cup of tea, the bones were cracked. The javelin on the giant beast's skull slipped off and fell into the wild boars, knocking several of them unconscious. One of the unfortunate ones was pierced through the head by the spear on the javelin.

Fortunately, the giant beast's bones did not collapse, but were only cracked by the wild boar. Otherwise, Liu Xun and his fellow wild people would have been in danger of being buried.

Without any obstacles in its way, the wild boar rushed into the giant beast's skeletal chest cavity. The white apes behind it howled, grabbed the beast's ribs, swung their bodies, and leaped into the bones.
