Gu Xin and others stood with their backs to the main entrance of the village, raising their heads and looking in the direction of the mountain behind. The northernmost part of the village was Granny Shui's house. A door was opened on the wall behind it, leading to the hemp forest and bean fields on the gentle slope.
Further up is the steep slope, where elm forests and green oak trees grow. The elm trees are relatively low, while the green oak trees that have grown for unknown ages are tall and towering.
Among the branches and leaves of the green oak tree, there were more than a hundred huge strange birds parked at some point. If you look closely, it turns out that they are not strange birds, but people with wings on their backs! Gu Xin's heart sank.
It seems that it has been sinking into the bottomless abyss, and the intruder is actually the Yu tribe!
Lucun is located to the north of the bottomless valley. There is a winding and rugged mountain road that leads from the central valley from west to east to Lucun. After passing Lucun and going east, there is no road in the mountains. Of course, there is no road.
There are no other tribes passing by. To the east is the traditional hunting ground of the Lucun people, and the mountains and fields are endless with jungles. But strictly speaking, it is not that there are no other tribes further away.
In a very remote place east of Lucun, at the end of the ravine, in the primeval jungle in the mountains, there is still a tribe of demons living, which has been called the Yu tribe since ancient times. It is said that they are the descendants of the great demons in ancient times.
Their appearance is different from ordinary people, their stature is not very tall, and their adults are about the same height as normal teenagers. What’s even more special is that they all have a pair of wings on their backs.
The wings of the people of the Feather Tribe are at the position of the shoulder blades of normal people. A pair of long wings hang from the shoulders to the calf. The inner side is made of soft down, and the outer and edges are made of long hard feathers. The width when fully expanded is the
More than twice his height. It is said that he does not build houses on the ground, but lives in giant nests on towering trees.
Unlike ordinary bird nests, their nests are very strong and have roofs that can shield them from the wind and rain in the mountains. They are like tree houses. Some people say that they lie on their stomachs when they sleep, with their pair of feathers covering their bodies.
Quilt.
The feather people live in treehouses at high places, which is not only the habit of their ancestors but also very safe. The main reason is that they can fly. Although they are not tall, their bodies are obviously heavier than flying birds, so
They cannot fly long distances at high altitudes. However, their chest, back and upper limb muscles are particularly well developed, and they can fly a long distance by flapping their wings vigorously. They can also spread their wings to glide very far at high altitudes along with the airflow.
Therefore, the valleys and ravines are not insurmountable obstacles for them, and they do not need to build bridges to open roads. The Yu people live in deep mountains and wild forests. There are no roads leading to treehouse villages nearby. It is extremely difficult for outsiders to reach them. They are almost isolated from the world.
Isolated.
However, the Yu people are not completely out of contact with outsiders. They sometimes need to exchange things with other tribes, and a group of tribesmen are led by the patriarch Mao to fly long distances to the Central Valley. The leader Mao is the most special person among the Yu people. He entered the world in his early years.
He was able to practice in the first realm, and now his magical power is quite strong. What's even more miraculous is that he can change his body.
Da Mao's original body has wings on his back just like the tribesmen. He can fly with a pair of wings, but after he lands, he can change his appearance. His wings disappear and he is no different from a normal person. His body is similar to that of a normal person, and his facial features also become less so.
Weird. Da Mao is a monk in the Four Realms. It is said that only by breaking through the Four Realms can the demon race master this magical change.
Every very long period of time, the Yu tribe will lead a group of tribesmen to the Central Valley to exchange products with other tribes. Therefore, each tribe also knows that there is such a strange monster tribe in the mountains, but most of the time it is very rare.
It is rare to see people from the Yu tribe. This demon tribe hardly has any other dealings with foreign tribes, let alone intermarrying.
Of course, the Yu people are not birds. They are also human beings. They are intelligent, can speak, can process and use tools, and work collectively. However, due to their weird appearance and characteristics that ordinary people do not have, they are called monsters. According to some reports
People who have occasionally come into contact with the Yu people say that not only do adult people from the Yu people look like teenagers in body, but they also have similar brains and are a bit clumsy when talking and doing things.
When the Yu tribe usually deals with foreign tribes, it is always the patriarch Mao who comes forward. But this patriarch looks like an ordinary person. He should be the most capable, knowledgeable and smartest person in this demon tribe. Except for the Yu tribe
In addition, there are several other demon clans in the depths of this wild area, each with its own characteristics, but basically they have very little contact with foreign races, and the Yu clan is the only one among them that can fly.
For such monsters, normal people will inevitably feel that they are not from my race, but in such a wilderness, everyone is not surprised. When the villagers go out hunting, if they walk very far into the deep jungle
When we were at the very edge of the hunting grounds where we had been active for generations, we occasionally encountered people from the Yu tribe flying by. However, they hardly interacted with people, let alone greeted them, and they basically lived in peace and harmony for hundreds of years.
What Gu Xin saw at this moment were the people of the Yu tribe. They landed on the giant green hills in the back of Lu Village. There were more than 120 people in the dense crowd, and all of them were armed. It was obvious that they were coming with bad intentions. No one expected this.
Given the situation, even if the wise Lord Shan had made all kinds of preparations to deal with conflicts in the wilderness, he would never have expected this scene today.
Today, the large-scale official conflict in the Central Valley is finally coming. Shanye and Granny Shui are not in the village, and even Panhu has been taken away. Not only did the two tribes gather the fifty-one warriors who had trained to open the mountain, but they also urgently
Two hundred strong men who had received military formation training were summoned to form two other flanking military formations.
This is Master Shan's arrangement. As long as you set up your battle array, you will have the power to win. It is of course the best to win without fighting in the end. But in this way, the village becomes empty, and Ruoshan does not dare to be careless and leave behind
In addition to the two masters Gu Xin and Shu Zhuang, there are also about fifty strong men who have received combat training to look after the house.
The people like Gu Xin were left behind just in case, because the power of Youyu Village was also concentrated in the Central Valley, and it was impossible to cross the wilderness trails to invade Lu Village and Huahai Village. However, a few years ago, Yuliang led the
When an elite team sneaks into the vicinity, Mr. Shan also has to be on guard against the recurrence of Yucun's old tricks and not allow others to take advantage of it.
Two masters and fifty strong men who have received combat training are enough to deal with various unexpected situations. Shan Ye and others will have no worries in the Central Valley.
However, Gu Xin was somewhat dissatisfied with Shan Ye's arrangement, because the roads leading in and out of the two clans had long been strictly monitored, and Youyu Village had gathered all its forces, so it was impossible to send any small elite team to sneak attack.
Even if someone needs to be sent to look after the house, Granny Shui should be left behind as a rule. How come she, the patriarch of Huahai Village, is left behind?
But Granny Shui insisted on going to the bottom of the Central Valley with Shan Ye. Of course Gu Xin couldn't compete with her, and at the same time he had to be convinced. Granny Shui was indeed much more capable than him. Although Gu Xin thought that Shan Ye was unnecessary, he still
According to the agreed plan, twenty soldiers were left on guard in Huahai Village, while he himself took another thirty fully armed men to Lu Village to guard, and took a look at his daughter and son-in-law Shuzhuang.
Gu Xin never expected that Youyu Village actually had a more sinister plan. This was not a sneak attack by a small team, but an attack with the strength of the whole clan. No matter what the battle situation was in the Central Valley, Lu Village and Huahai Village were probably going to attack each other today.
There is a danger of genocide. Who would have thought that there are so many enemies, and they don't have to walk at all, they actually fly from another direction!
These people left in the two villages are by no means the opponents of the Yu tribe! Gu Xin knew this very well, but he could not show fear, let alone turn around and escape. At this moment, he was the backbone of the people left behind by the two tribes, even if it was
Even if you risk your life, you must do your best to resist the invasion of the Yu people.
Gu Xin gave a warning and led thirty soldiers to prepare to meet the enemy. Shu Zhuang beside him blew a bamboo whistle. There were several such bamboo whistles, made by Granny Shui herself, and the first one was given to him.
Huwa is used to sound alarms from a long distance. The whistle blown by Shuzhuang was long and sharp. After a while, two whistles were vaguely transmitted back from Huahai Village, which seemed shorter.
The response from Huahai Village stated that they had received the alert but had not found any invading enemies there.
At the same time as the whistle spread, the Yu tribe people on the giant green hills also suddenly made a move. They originally planned to make a sneak attack, but now that they had alerted the other side, and the two villages were obviously on guard, they had to take action quickly.
The giant green tree suddenly lit up with tiny bits of fire. It was they who lit up the things tied to the arrow shafts.
Gu Xin was surprised again. How could the usually stupid Yu tribe people become so smart today? They actually knew to attack with rockets from high places first? It must be the big hair chief who is giving the order! The houses in Lu Village are all made of wood and stone.
, the walls are mostly made of stones quarried in the mountains, and some are also supported by wooden pillars, but the roofs are made of wooden boards, covered with woven straw curtains and pressed with stones. Once hit by a rocket, it is easy to ignite a fire.
.
The Yu people were on a huge tree on a high slope outside the village. The distance was very far. The bows and arrows of the soldiers from Lu Village and Huahai Village could not reach there. However, the Yu people were condescending and could hit the village by throwing their arrows into the sky. Gu Xin could not see the situation.
Miao shouted again: "Spread out!"
The thirty fully armed warriors behind him quickly left the center of the open space and hid under the surrounding eaves. Gu Xin reacted very quickly just now. He immediately gathered his team upon noticing the movement, but he saw the Yu tribe lighting rockets from high up.
That's when I realized I had made a mistake.
Gu Xin's arrangement just now was to gather the tribesmen to guard the gate of the village. When encountering large beasts in the mountains, the hunting formation was also like this. But today's enemies are the Yu tribe. They can fly. Although they cannot soar high in the sky for a long time,
It is possible to flap their wings and fly high in a short period of time. If they shoot bows and arrows from a high position, it will be difficult for the soldiers to fight back. Standing in the open ground will be a target.
At the same time as the thirty soldiers dispersed, Gu Xin rushed forward, carrying a long bow, crossed the altar, and jumped onto the roof of Granny Shui's house at the back of the village. Shu Zhuang followed closely beside him, carrying a large bundle.
As soon as Gu Xin jumped onto the roof and stood still, he opened his bow and shot an arrow, and the fine steel arrow cluster made a sharp whistle that ripped through the air.
