Beast Throne

Chapter 490
The grasslands in the frigid zone and the grasslands in the tropical environment are completely different styles.

When Wu Tong was in Huaxia before, due to the limitations of his own economic conditions and the particularity of his work later, he had never been to the grassland.But like all Chinese men, every time I see the endless grassland in film and television works, I will inevitably have endless yearning in my heart, hoping that one day I can ride a horse and gallop on the grassland to my heart's content.

This wish came true in another world.

Following the footsteps of Millennium Bai, the ancestor of the Winged Snake, Wu Tong came to the Northwest White Ice Empire immediately after leaving Misty Island.Although the White Ice Empire is called "White Ice", there is no white at all. It is a green ocean as far as the eye can see. The sky and the earth meet in the distance, and people's mood will open up unconsciously.

The territory of the White Ice Empire is almost twice that of its deadly rival, the Tianyang Empire, but its population is slightly smaller than that of the Tianyang Empire, which looks rather desolate.But when a war breaks out, the White Ice Empire can mobilize a larger number of troops.

Since Wu Tong came from a modern society, it is easy to understand this situation. The main reason is that the systems adopted by the two empires are not the same.Although the Tianyang Empire is powerful, there are too many nobles in it. The nobles and commoners almost live in two different worlds.This situation is particularly prominent among the big provinces in the confidants of the Tianyang Empire.

As for the White Ice Empire, although there are many great patriarchs, they once refused to accept the dispatch of the Ulan royal family.But after a series of reforms, this situation has changed a lot.

The most important thing is that Bai Bing has a tough folk style and respects honor.The sons of nobles never knew how to dress and eat well, so they rode horses and archery with the sons of herdsmen, competing in martial arts.This tradition has ensured the harmony between nobles and commoners in the empire, and it is easier to mobilize all national power.

Therefore, when the two empires are at war, a strange scene can often be seen.

On Baibing's side, the sons of nobles wielding golden knives rushed faster than the children of herdsmen because of their excellent horses.On Tianyang's side, however, the children of the great aristocrats who came to make military achievements could not be seen at all, and they could not be seen patrolling the troops with the generals until after the battle.

In this case, the two empires are just in a balance. The Tianyang Empire is richer, but its military strength is not as good as the Baibing Empire, so it has been on the defensive.And the White Ice Empire can only be brave near the border, and they don't have the ability to enter the Tianyang Empire's interior to plunder.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Wu Tong, an outsider.It seems that Sutu has heard that the two empires recently signed an agreement not to fight each other, in order to deal with the possible orc invasion in a new way.Because of this, the Wild Lion Legion was able to go south smoothly, but no one could have imagined that this legion would collapse in the Southern Cross Forest.

The territory of the White Ice Empire is too large, and the population is not large.I don't know if it's because of the poor choice of route. Wu Tong flew all the way, but he didn't meet a city, so Wu Tong was embarrassed and could only continue to fly forward.

However, although there is no city, you can occasionally encounter some small caravans or herds trekking on the grassland.Wu Tong wanted to go down to ask for directions, but he didn't expect the folk customs in the Northland to be far more aggressive than he imagined.Before Wu Tong landed, he saw these merchants and herdsmen take off the strong bows on their backs one by one, bent their bows and set up arrows, and wanted to shoot Wu Tong down from the sky.

This made Wu Tong smile wryly. Given his height, it can be said with certainty that if one looks up from below, one can only see a small black dot that is not very clear.Before they figured out what it was, the merchants and herdsmen, who were not so strong, bent their bows and shot the big eagle one by one. Aren't they afraid that the eagle would miss the shot and anger the "birdman" passing by?

However, with Wu Tong's current strength, it would be too petty to take revenge on these overly aggressive civilians.Wu Tong thought about it in the air, and felt that it would be okay if he didn't go down to ask for directions.

This is a prairie where the terrain is so flat that no road construction is required, so caravans on the prairie only need to walk in a straight line if they want to go to the next city, which is very convenient.Wu Tong found a larger caravan, and after recognizing the direction they were heading in, he flew in that direction without thinking too much.

Anyway, Wu Tong didn't have a fixed goal, just find a city first.

But the facts show that it is a very wrong way to speculate without confirmation, and what you think often deviates from the real situation.When Wu Tong flew forward with great interest, and dreamed of delicious shredded beef in his mind, he found that the so-called city seemed too small.

That's right, there was indeed a group of people gathered in front of them, and they looked very lively, and they didn't know what they were doing or what they were going to do.However, in terms of scale, Wu Tong feels that there are less than 3000 people at the end of the day. Even if the Baibing Empire is sparsely populated, it is impossible to guess thousands of people in a city. It is not as good as the population of a small town in the Tianyang Empire. many.

Wu Tong didn't stop, and continued to fly forward, trying to see clearly.But when there is still a certain distance from the target, the mutation suddenly pops up.He only heard a very crisp and loud vibration of the bowstring, and before he had time to think about it, Wu Tong forcibly stopped his forward trend, and just stepped back a little bit.

You don't need to look down at Wu Tong to guess what happened just now. He has heard the sound of the bow string vibrating countless times during this journey. Every time, someone below is trying to shoot Wu Tong down. Tongdu almost became a frightened bird.

But the sound of the bow just now made it clear that no matter the quality of the bow or the quality of the shooter, it was not comparable to those amateur herdsmen or businessmen before.

Sure enough, Wu Tong had just retreated, and two black arrows that were obviously several times larger than ordinary feather arrows, almost the size of short spears, passed Wu Tong's body with enough force to split rocks and pierce clouds.

Two arrows at once!And it seemed that the shooting position was aimed at the position where Wu Tong was just now, and the position he should reach if he kept his speed constant.

What a powerful shooter, Wu Tong wiped the cold sweat off his brow.Fortunately, I can fly backwards, otherwise I would have been shot down from the sky.As an elf king, he couldn't afford to lose this person.

"Get me down!"

It's definitely not going to end here.The two sharp arrows had just passed through before Wu Tong heard a woman's coquettish voice.

Wu Tong's heart tightened, he was so nervous that he was not sure which direction to hide for a while.Just now I kept flying forward, it was easy for the opponent to predict my position when shooting arrows, and I could immediately think of which direction to hide.

But this time, Wu Tong stopped in place in the air, so it was difficult to guess which direction the opponent would shoot.If the woman's level is bad and the shooting is not accurate enough, and I happen to dodge in that direction, I will hit it by myself.

Having said that, Wu Tong immediately moved to the side for a short distance. The two arrows just now were so powerful, and the level of this woman should not be too bad.But Wu Tong waited and waited, but he never waited for the arrow to fly up.

Just when Wu Tong felt strange, he suddenly felt his feet tighten, as if something grabbed his ankle and pulled it down hard.

This time it really exceeded Wu Tong's expectations. He was high in the air, and it was impossible for him to be grabbed by his ankle by a ghost hand protruding from the soil.

But things did happen. Unprepared, Wu Tong let out a strange cry of "Oh Ye", and was forcibly pulled from the air and began to fall rapidly.

Fortunately, Wu Tong has been flying at a high altitude, even if he falls, it will take a while to fall, and it is impossible to fall half to death immediately.After a short period of surprise, Wu Tong spread his wings and stabilized his figure. Instead of using the Suzaku's shadow to escape, he reached out and grabbed the thing wrapped around his ankle, and forcibly pulled it to the sky.

It was just passing by, and did not launch an attack, just curious to see.The people below didn't even say hello, and they would be killed before they met.Wu Tong was angry, and thought to himself, I don't care who you are, you want to pull me down?Just in time, I pulled you up, just in time to capture a hostage and let the other party throw a mouse.

Wu Tong pulled upwards. Although he hadn't seen the face clearly, he could clearly see that the person pulled up was indeed a woman.The woman held a long leather whip tightly in her hand, and the tip of the whip was wrapped around her feet.

"Awesome!" Although he had decided to take him hostage, Wu Tong still sighed in his heart.Being able to hit herself with a whip from the ground with incomparable accuracy, and wrap around her ankle, this woman's skill with the whip is amazing, at least it is infinitely more difficult than bending a bow to shoot a vulture.

It's just that this woman's IQ doesn't seem to be high enough. It's Wu Tong who is entangled by the whip, not her.Faced with this situation, you just need to let go and you'll be fine.But this woman was holding on to the whip tightly, so she was dragged up by Wu Tong.

But the fact is that Wu Tong's judgment today has not been correct once. Just when Wu Tong was slandering the woman's lack of IQ in his heart, he suddenly heard a mournful wolf howl.

Looking down, Wu Tong almost fell from the sky without being scared.Although I haven't seen her face clearly, the young woman who was slender and curvy just now turned into a white werewolf in the blink of an eye, climbing up the whip.

Did this woman belong to the Ulan royal family?

Wu Tong subconsciously looked sideways and down, and immediately understood why others took the initiative to attack him.Among that group of people stood a large flag with a ferocious giant wolf painted on it. This is a flag that can only be used by the Ulan royal family.

It turned out that the thousands of people gathered here were really not a prairie market, but the Ulan royal family came out for a parade with the most elite imperial guards.

As for Wu Tong, he quickly approached from the sky without saying a word, and if he didn't come with a thousand arrows, he would be considered very worthy of himself.
