wild trail

Chapter 428 Attack ([-])
The monster lair closest to Youyan Department is located on a hillside in the southeast direction. These ugly monsters seem to like dark places very much.

Under the leadership of Zhou Yan, the warriors who set off stopped about one mile away from the sunny hillside.

"Have you seen that hillside? According to the observations of our people, the monster has a small lair there. There are five adult monsters and two or three small monsters. If there is no accident, those things should be there at this time." In the lair, we will approach there carefully for a while, block the opening, draw those things out, and shoot them directly with the bed crossbow."

The captain took out the binoculars from his backpack and looked at the place Zhou Yan pointed out. Sure enough, he saw a dark cave in the dense forest, but he didn't see any signs of monsters.

"Patriarch Zhou, those monsters are huge in size and quick in movement. I'm afraid it will be difficult to kill them all with one blow. Just in case, when we attack later, we will divide the twenty bed crossbows into two shots. Spearman is covering."

Zhou Yan nodded and said, "This is indeed safer. It's getting late, and we must end all this before dark. We'll spend the night here tonight."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand behind him, signaling the team to move on.

Zhou Yu, who was following in the team, touched an animal tooth hanging on his chest. It was a gift from his wife before he set off. According to the legend here, if a brave warrior wears the tooth of a wild animal, Then he can get the protection of the mountain god. Thinking of his wife's gradually swollen belly, the corners of his mouth can't help but turn up. Looking at the mountains around him, he thought to himself: "Bless the gods, I hope everything goes well."

Although the road leading to the hillside is very rugged, it does not have much impact on the human beings who grew up in the mountains.

The long team cautiously approached the target, and the nimble scouts kept sending the situation ahead.

The monsters didn't realize that these bug-like beings were plotting against them, and everything was so peaceful.

The task went so smoothly, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After so many years of contact, the mountain people know the horror of these monsters. Although they have made sufficient preparations under the leadership of the Ministry of Salt, they are not afraid that it is a fake of.

When there were still more than 100 meters away from the cave, Zhou Yu waved the team to stop.

The captain looked at the surrounding terrain and frowned.

The terrain here is very complicated, and the location of the hole can only allow everyone to attack from the bottom up, which greatly weakens the power of the bed crossbow, which makes him worried about this mission.

Glancing at Zhou Yan, I saw that he also had a serious expression on his face.

"Patriarch Zhou, the terrain here is not conducive to our attack. If we want to maximize the power of the bed crossbow, we can only increase the distance."

Zhou Yan nodded, "That's the only way to go. Although it's very dangerous to do this, if you give up at this point, the courage that the various ministries have finally accumulated may be lost. What we need is a victory."

After speaking, he ordered the warrior who controlled the bed crossbow to assume that the bed crossbow was less than 30 meters away from the entrance of the cave.

Such a short distance is already very dangerous. Although those monsters are huge in size, their movements are extremely agile. If they miss one hit, what awaits everyone will be a very dire situation.

Zhou Yan knew that this was a risk, but he had to do it. In a few years, those monsters occupied a large area of ​​the mountain forest. If this momentum could not be contained, humans could only choose to flee.

In the face of this terrifying creature, let alone a strong race, there will not even be a foothold.

The clansmen of the various ministries completed setting up the bed crossbow according to the previously formulated tactics, and looked nervously at the dark hole.

As reinforcements, these people from the Xia Kingdom would naturally not risk their lives to be heroes. These people carried the most sophisticated bows and spears from the Xia Kingdom. For their own safety, Zhou Yu and the others chose to be relatively safe. On the ground, be ready to attack, and if the situation is not good, you can escape at any time.

Although this kind of behavior is a bit cowardly, these young students all think that their help to the mountain people is enough. After all, this is not the country of Xia, and it is not enough for them to sacrifice for it.

After everything is ready, the next step is to lure the monsters out of the cave. For this reason, everyone discussed two ways. One way is to use blood to attract the monsters, but this method cannot kill the monsters in one go. , they are also helpless.

Another way is to attack with fire. Of course, this fire attack is not to use fire to kill them. This cave is very large, and it is very unrealistic to burn them to death.

There are damp trees and weeds here and there. These things are not good for fire, but they are really good fuel for making smoke.

More than half an hour later, the people in charge of getting the fire managed to start the fire. The damp wood and rising smoke made everyone cough.

Zhou Yan sent a few courageous clansmen to quickly move the fire to the entrance of the cave, and covered the fire with a pile of rotten leaves and branches.

The thick smoke was blocked by the covering, and the choking smell in the air was slightly relieved.

After using enough fuel for the three fires, several soldiers quickly ran back to the team. They had heard a rustling sound coming from the depths of the cave just now, which scared them out of their wits.

"Boss, the monster seems to be coming out."

"I see, everyone is ready, don't attack without authorization, listen to my password, those who panic will be expelled from the tribe." Zhou Yan shouted in a deep voice.

When the people of all tribes heard the words, their hearts shuddered, and they tried their best to restrain the fear in their hearts. In this era, expulsion from the tribe means death, perhaps a more terrible thing than death.

At this time, as the temperature of the fire continued to rise, thick smoke billowed into the sky. Under the action of the mountain wind, a large amount of thick smoke drifted to the depths of the cave. Case.

The people in the upwind area, although they could smell a faint smell of smoke, it didn't have much influence.

Quiet, extremely quiet, everyone held their breath subconsciously, not daring to take a breath, Zhou Yu held the bow and arrow in his hand, his fingers were a little white, and due to extreme tension, sweat slid down his cheeks. self-knowledge.

"Zi...Zi..."

A scalp-numbing cry came from the cave, and several huge and vague figures in the smoke were quickly crawling towards the entrance of the cave.
