Tomb Raiding: The Bloodline of Dragons and Snakes, Starting from the Kunlun Divine Palace

Even in places where humans cannot hear, they can still clearly recognize the signals of their companions.

They use this signal to communicate information about their prey.

In other words, the snow wolf and the mandrill were probably their scouts.

Therefore, with a physique close to that of the Snow Wolf King, the mandrill must be one of the best among them to be qualified to wear these twenty-four sets of chime bells for the deceased.

As for why mandrills can use the sound of chimes to command snow wolves, it is possible that the two species have evolved a habit of hunting together over the past thousands of years.

As a scout, the mandrill's size is obviously better for concealment, and its mind is also more agile.

This way, when the group is conducting reconnaissance, the mandrill has higher command authority than the snow wolf.

"What are we going to do?" Fatty Wang asked anxiously. "They've been yelling for a while now. No matter where we go, we'll probably be locked on. I'm getting a little nervous."

"It took the young man a lot of effort to deal with just one snow wolf. What if there were dozens or even hundreds?" Fatty Wang felt that his little homemade gun no longer gave him any sense of security.

No matter how powerful Wu Yutian is, he cannot simultaneously keep an eye on the wolves coming from all directions.

"Fang Ting, can you drive the car?" Wu Yutian knew that Cherokee Jeep best, besides himself, no one was more familiar with it than Fang Ting.

Fang Ting took the keys and returned to the car.

"There aren't any more potholes ahead." Wu Yutian looked into the distance and realized that the end of the Bone-Hiding Gully wasn't far off. This was a passage used by large packs of wolves; with so many wolves, they had created their own path.

It's just big enough for herds of horses, sheep, and cars to pass through.

"Leave two sheep in Zanggugou, the rest of you go full speed ahead." Wu Yutian analyzed the situation. If everyone went forward like this, the injured snow wolf and mandrill behind them would definitely follow closely and keep alerting them.

In that case, before everyone can even set up defenses, they will be met by packs of wolves and mandrills.

Leaving two sheep should be enough to feed this group of mandrills and snow wolves for a while.

They don't have very complex strategies; they won't turn down food when it's right in front of them.

This gives everyone time to shake off the snow wolf and the mandrill.

Their accomplices must have arrived at this location based on the previous sounds.

If the wolves are still hungry after eating these two sheep, they will then reposition their hunting targets.

“There’s another mountain pass ahead.” Wu Yutian jumped onto a large rock and looked into the distance. “The journey should be fine by carriage. I’ll lead the way, and you all get on the carriages or horses and follow me.”

Wu Yutian no longer concealed his strength and carried the Peerless Sword Box on his back.

"Sword, come!" In the blink of an eye, the Dragon-Snake Sword was in hand.

"With a single sword stroke, the dragon and snake roam freely!" As soon as the words were spoken, the Dragon and Snake Sword flew straight out.

It was heading towards the mountain valley he was trying to reach.

Although the road was relatively flat and the ground was no longer sunken, there were still rocks and ice blocks that had rolled down from the mountain blocking the way. It was not difficult to pass on horseback or on foot, but it was impossible for a convoy to drive through directly.

"Brother, thank you for your trouble." Wu Yutian meant that he had taken the lead and smashed all the boulders and ice blocks blocking the way, but it was still not enough for the convoy to pass safely.

"Understood." The young man was somewhat helpless. His Black Gold Ancient Sword was meant for fighting monsters, but now he was helping Wu Yutian clear the way for everyone.

The sword takes an unorthodox approach, the blade sweeps across a vast area.

Therefore, the young man's knife skills were much cleaner and more efficient than Wu Yutian's swordsmanship, as he swept the shattered stones and ice blocks away from both sides of the passage.

At the same time, he did not draw his sword; he simply swept the blade, which was wrapped in a cloth bag and in its sheath, horizontally.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, were practically an AI-powered road-paving engineering vehicle.

"Everyone, get on the bus!" Fang Ting called out.

Uncle Ming's team, Hu Bayi's trio, and others squeezed onto the car.

Li Xiangqin's team continued riding horses and herding sheep, and the whole group headed towards the mountain valley five miles away in a grand procession.

Chapter 94: Fixing Bayonets to Type 81 Rifles

After running for about ten minutes, clearing a path and moving forward, Wu Yutian and his friend arrived at the mountain valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.

The convoy of three cars followed closely behind.

Li Xiangqin and her cavalry, which was escorting the sheep, lagged behind by half a distance.

"Bayi, park the car at the entrance of the mountain pass," Wu Yutian commanded, putting away his Dragon-Snake Sword, as clearing the way had taken a toll on his stamina.

"Uncle Ming, let's distribute the stuff Peter Huang brought to everyone. Let's stop hiding it."

Wu Yutian knew that Peter Huang had a large box containing a lot of guns and ammunition.

"Brother Tian, ​​the equipment isn't a problem, but these guns and ammunition cost me a lot of money!" Uncle Ming was a shrewd man and didn't want to waste his money.

"Don't worry, we'll calculate the costs together later. After you make up for your costs, we'll split the profits." Wu Yutian didn't intend for Uncle Ming to suffer a loss.

"That's good." Uncle Ming waved his hand. "Peter, bring out all the equipment! Let everyone see!"

"Alright!" Peter Huang waved to the fat man. "Fatty, if you want equipment, you'd better work hard."

647 Uncle Ming's side, Ah Dong stayed at the horse farm filming base. It seems there are quite a lot of things in this box, Peter Huang alone would have a hard time moving it.

"Alright! Let Fatty see what your stuff is all about!"

Fatty Wang rubbed his hands together and, together with Peter Huang, carried out a large wooden box that was about 1.5 meters long and half a meter wide and high.

After prying open the wooden lid, there was a layer of straw on top to keep it dry.

Inside, it was wrapped in canvas.

"Hey, it's well protected." Fatty Wang impatiently lifted the canvas, and Hu Bayi also came over.

"Good heavens! What are you trying to do?!" Fatty Wang's eyes lit up immediately.

I initially thought it was just a few handguns, but such a heavy box couldn't possibly contain only handguns.

Perhaps there are other goods used as cover.

The room was filled with heavy guns!

Yes, just the guns, not even counting the ammunition. There's another box inside, which I guess contains the ammunition.

"You're trying to arm an entire army?" Hu Bayi grabbed a brand-new Type 95 rifle. "This kind of rifle wasn't even available when I was in the army!"

"The Type 81 assault rifle suits your name perfectly," Peter Huang joked.

"Yes, back then, I used to pick up this gun and start adjusting it as soon as May Day."

Back then, Xia Guo produced the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle by imitating the SKS semi-automatic rifle, the Type 56 assault rifle by imitating the AK47, and the Type 56 squad automatic weapon by imitating the RPD machine gun of the Goose Bear country.

These three weapons are collectively known as the Type 56 rifle family, which were the first generation of standard light weapons in the Xia Kingdom.

"I remember Lao Hu, you used to brag to me many times about what was so great about your May Day style?"

"While debugging, Wu Yi said, 'It is perfectly capable of handling the land warfare situations of the 1950s and 60s, so for the next nearly twenty years, no replacement could be found.'"

"However, in 1979, the Type 56 rifle family was put to the test in the Nanyue self-defense counterattack. The Yue army was generally equipped with the Goose Bear AK47 assault rifle, which has a high rate of fire and high accuracy."

"Xia soldiers only had Type 56 semi-automatic rifles with a capacity of 10 rounds each, and they were severely suppressed in both offense and defense."

"The Type 56 assault rifles in the hands of squad and platoon leaders are very powerful at close range, but the mountainous terrain in southern Xinjiang has a large elevation difference, so the Type 56 assault rifles are basically just a few shots at long distances."

Hu Bayi prefers rifles to submachine guns, as they are accurate and don't waste bullets.

In TV dramas where there's unlimited ammo, submachine guns definitely feel more powerful.

However, in real life, bullets are used sparingly.

If we had unlimited ammunition, we wouldn't have suffered so many casualties when we and our comrades were hunted by snow wolves in western Xinjiang.

"In the spring of 1979, the military industry of Xia State produced a weapon to deal with the battlefield in southern Xinjiang. This weapon did not need to use the most advanced design. Everything was for the battlefield. It had to be powerful, accurate, stable and reliable."

"Just two years later, the Type 81 assault rifle was born."

Hu Bayi pulled out the magazine from the Type 81 rifle, which still contained a few bullets.

“I’ve test-fired this gun,” Peter Huang explained. “I originally wanted to take on this job myself, so of course I would have brought more guards. My old comrades had also prepared equipment for a ten-man guard team for me, and the money had already been paid. Although Uncle Ming ended up hiring you guys, I still brought all the equipment with me.”

"You can never have too much equipment. If you encounter a large pack of snow wolves, even a ten-man escort team might not be enough. Suppressing fire is not difficult, but snow wolves are very fast. If you shoot from a distance, it is easy to waste bullets."

"If we wait until they get too close before we fire, the enemy will be too numerous to react before they reach us. Some of my former comrades have died because of this."

Hu Bayi touched a bayonet. "This is a good thing. If the wolf pack can no longer be suppressed from a distance, we must equip it with a bayonet."

"Then I'll just attach it first," Fatty Wang said, picking up another bayonet and attaching it.

"That's fine too." Hu Bayi nodded. "If you're not very familiar with bayonets, you can attach them first."

Seeing that Fatty Wang was a bit clumsy, Hu Bayi didn't stop him.

“Otherwise, it will be too late to react once the wolf pounces on you. If you use the bayonet as a dagger, the effect will be greatly reduced. We don’t have the same amazing skills as Xiao Ge. These snow wolves are incredibly strong and have a tough hide.”

"Don't be fooled by how easily this guy scratched the snow wolf. If we ordinary people were to face this snow wolf, we might not even be able to stab it into a tough spot."

"Not to mention it's an agile creature, one of the best fighters among animals."

"But if you hold the rifle with both hands and use your waist strength to thrust it out with all your might, aiming for its chest or neck, you can still pierce it!" Hu Bayi demonstrated to Fatty Wang before even fixing the bayonet.

"Hey, Lao Hu, you're all talk and no action! You haven't even attached your bayonet yet." Fatty Wang had already attached his bayonet and was gesturing like Hu Bayi.

"Have you seen movies?" Hu Bayi asked in return. "If you have, you'll often see scenes like this: the platoon leader shouts, 'Fix bayonets!' and the soldiers pull out their bayonets from their waists, quickly attach them to the muzzles of their rifles, and launch a bayonet charge against the attacking enemy."

"But it is common knowledge that rifles are usually not fitted with bayonets when firing."

"What's the reason for this?" Fatty Wang wondered, unsure whether to pretend or not.
