Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

"It's the Hyena Dragon." Someone whispered, and some orcs who were resting on the spot also stood up one after another, a wolf howl sounded, and the females who were still in Qi Ze City quickly arrived. On the ice city wall, they all held wooden bows in their hands and carried a quiver full of arrows on their backs. Some of the females who were assigned to operate catapults and siege crossbows also quickly took their places and were ready to fight at any time. Prepare.

Chen Qi looked at the Hyena Dragon's movements with a solemn expression. The Hyena Dragon did not move forward to approach Qize City, but with the sound of the beast's roar, the Hyena Dragon behind him slowly stepped forward, and began to spread around. The tendency to surround the entire Qi Ze City.

The traps are arranged around the city wall. The Hyena Dragon has always kept a certain distance from the city wall. This distance is beyond the range of the siege crossbow. The orcs on the city wall can only watch the movements of the Hyena Dragon Group quietly. And can't act.

"Why are there so many Hyena dragons?" A Chu frowned, but no one could answer his question.

The hyena dragon group this time was more than double or triple the last time, and it felt like all the hyena dragons in the entire forest ran out at this moment.

The Hyena Dragon's movements were not fast, and it was almost noon when they were about to surround Qi Ze City.

"Is there a person in the Hyena Dragon Group?" A Xu, who had been squatting on the battlement and kept an eye on the Hyena Dragon Group's movements, suddenly turned his head and asked.

Chen Qiwen said, looking in the direction of A Xu's fingers, his eyesight is not as good as that of a female, and the color of the hyena dragon's fur is similar to that of the snow. In addition, there are too many hyena dragons, and the densely packed ones can't be seen clearly. Are there orcs mixed in?

"There is a person there, and the hyena dragon that gave the order just now returned to that person." A Ze rubbed the bowstring in his hand and replied.

"Who is that person? Could it be a transformed Hyena dragon?" Chen Qi guessed.

When the others heard the words, they all turned their attention to Chen Qi. In addition to being solemn, their faces were also mixed with some kind of complicated emotions. But now, no matter whether that person was an ordinary orc or a Hyena Dragon, the ones in the Hyena Dragon group were also dignified. The only possibility is the enemy.

"Seeing so many hyena dragons, my scalp feels a little numb." Ale took out a small cake stuffed with chili peppers from his pocket and put it in his mouth. Dispelled a lot.

"What now? Wait?"

"Our weapons don't have enough range. Let's wait and see what the Hyena Dragon does." Ah Zhang, who had been silent, ordered.

After waiting for more than an hour, Chen Qi only ate a little dry food to cushion his stomach at noon, and now the wind is blowing again, so he can only get to the fire pan next to him to keep warm. Help him keep out a little wind next to him.

"Would you like to go back to warm up first?"

"No, don't worry." Seeing Aze's worries, Chen Qi comforted the other party.

"Bang." At this moment, another explosion sounded. This was the remaining mine from yesterday that was too late to trigger. Chen Qi looked outside the city and saw a hyena dragon walking towards the ice city wall. Its hair was cracked a few times because of the explosion, and a few strands of bright red blood seeped out of the wound, in a vast expanse of white. appear particularly conspicuous.

Chen Qi squinted his eyes, and sure enough, these mines were too simple to make, and would not cause much damage to the Hyena Dragon at all.

Perhaps the Hyena Dragon also discovered that these loud noises had no effect except that the sound was louder, and it became more courageous. A small group of Hyena Dragons came out of the team and tentatively approached the direction of the city wall.

Because there are too many hyena dragons, this time the test is no longer only carried out at the main gate like the last time. This time, in addition to the main gate facing the Chishui River, there are also hyena dragons on the other three sides heading towards the city wall.

That kind of simple mines were originally made in small numbers, but after a few consecutive explosions, they calmed down. After the mines, there were several rows of trip ropes. , The Hyena dragons walking in the front fell to the ground first, and at this time they had entered the range of the siege crossbow. A Zhang gave an order, and the siege crosses on the four walls had already prepared arrows. The bows were fired in unison, towards the approaching Hyena group.

On the plain that was still extremely silent, with the sound of arrows breaking through the air, the screams of the Hyena Dragon sounded.

The trip rope is only to restrain the footsteps of the Hyena dragon, and it is less lethal than those simple mines. Some Hyena dragons flexibly dodge the moment they are tripped. The hyena dragon, which fired the arrow, nimbly bypassed the trip wire and continued to move forward.

The Hyena Dragon's attack officially began, and the Orc's defensive battle also began.

I don’t know if it was because the Hyena Dragons relied on their large numbers and didn’t mind the life and death of the Hyena Dragons who were in the front line. The Iron Armored Dragon officially appeared on the stage slowly. Now, except for a few rows of deer villages and horses near the ice city wall, all other traps have been trampled by the Hyena Dragon.

"Do you think these hyena dragons have become smarter?" Chen Qi, who had been observing the hyena dragon's movements, shot an arrow and walked to A Zhang's side to ask. He used a crossbow/arrow, and it didn't take much effort, but it didn't have the range. The females use wooden bows far away, but the damage at close range is not bad, and they can be used to disrupt the pace of the Iron Armored Dragon.

A Zhang nodded, "They seem to know how to avoid bows and traps better than last time."

"How do I feel that these hyena dragons are learning." Chen Qi frowned, thinking about what words to use to express his guess, "It is not so much that they are detecting danger in advance, it is better that they are learning the experience of dealing with traps, and then conveying them to Like the later Hyena."

Ah Zhang shot the arrow that had already drawn the bow. The arrow made a mark on the back of a Hyena dragon, and then fell to the ground. The Hyena Dragon, which was hit by the arrow, seemed to feel no pain at all, and continued. Head down and move forward. After listening to Chen Qi's words, A Zhang's actions paused.

"Will they become more difficult to deal with?" Ale, who was operating a siege crossbow next to him, turned his head and asked.

"They are indeed more difficult to deal with." Aze turned around and loaded arrows into his emptied quiver, signaling them to pay attention to the situation of the iron armored dragons that had rushed over, "Have you noticed, this is the second batch The iron armored dragons rushing over, they took half the time to rush to the city wall faster than the last time."

A few orcs who were busy fighting at first discovered this problem.

As the iron armored dragon group approached, the first row of deer villages was quickly ignited. Under the action of the suddenly ignited wall of fire, the movements of the iron armored dragon and the hyena dragon stopped, and they even retreated out of range, and did not They waited in front of the burning Luzhai, carrying the rain of arrows from the sky, and continued to attack until the fire on the Luzhai was completely extinguished.

There are no pits and traps outside the ice city wall at all, and only three rows of Luzhai are arranged. When the three rows of Luzhai are burnt out, the sun will soon go down, and those who are buried in the snow are also hit by the iron armored dragon. It was turned up with reddish-brown soil. The Iron Armored Dragon was not in a hurry to attack the city, and only knocked out a few huge gaps in the rows of refusing horses.

When the afterglow of the setting sun spilled on the plain, the dragon's attack finally stopped, and there were no traps outside the ice city wall that could stop the hyena dragon's footsteps except for the scattered horses.

"Why did they stop?" Ah Chu, who had just gone to the other side to command the battle, returned to the main gate. Taking advantage of the pause, Ah Chang was letting people take turns to rest, and by the way, he had something to fill his stomach.

Chen Qi boiled a little soup for everyone on a simple fire plate, and added a lot of **** slices to ward off the cold, but it didn't taste very good, but no one cared about that at the moment.

A-Zhang sat down on the spot with his back against the cold battlements and was resting with his eyes closed. He hadn't closed his eyes since last night, and he was a little tired after a day and a night. Fortunately, his fur was thick and he was not afraid of the cold of the ice city walls. A Chu's voice opened his eyes slightly, "While the Hyena Dragon is not moving, let them all rest for a while, I am worried that the Hyena Dragon will attack for a while."

"Can the fat be boiled first?" Chen Qi asked A-Zhang handing a bowl of steaming soup.

There were still a few thickly sliced ​​pieces of meat in the bowl. A-Zhang took it over without using chopsticks. He held his wooden bow in one hand and the pottery bowl in the other. He drank from the edge of the bowl and finished the soup After that, he directly twisted the meat with his hands and stuffed it into the mouth, "Boil it up."

One by one, the clay pots and iron pots were carried out from the watchtower and placed on the fire plate. The flammable grease that had been prepared in it began to melt slowly, and there were people guarding each fire plate.

Chen Qi took advantage of the temporary cessation of the fighting and went to the nearby watchtower to hide from the wind. Although his training has not fallen off, and his physique has grown stronger day by day, he is not as good as an orc after all, and it is still a bit unbearable to stay outdoors in such severe cold conditions.

The hyena group doesn't seem to be in a hurry, and there is no next move after this pause until it falls black.

The night on the first day of the month was very bright, and even in the moonlight, Chen Qi could vaguely see the figures of the Hyena Dragons.

The night of the first day passed in the fear of the orcs, and the night was peaceful, but the group of Hyena dragons surrounding far away remained motionless, as if they had turned into ice sculptures. If I hadn't seen their fierce appearance when they attacked, I would have been deceived by the harmless appearance of the other party.

During this period, the snowflakes kept falling, but it was not big, but it was enough to hide most of the corpses of the Hyena dragon and Iron Armored dragon on the ground. Those dry bloodstains were long gone, and the original calm was restored on the plain. Except for the crackling of the firewood burning in the fire tray and the breathing of the people around him, no sound could be heard.

Chen Qi thought that the Hyena Dragon would continue to attack like yesterday, but unexpectedly, the Hyena Dragon was still standing quietly outside the range.

During this period, Chen Qi and Aze went back to the cellar to see the situation of Xiaobaozi. Because the tribe was surrounded by hyena dragons, even if the hyena dragons did not attack, the orcs still hid in the cellar.

There were not many fires in the cellar, so it was naturally not as comfortable as the temperature at home. Fortunately, Xiao Baozi was not weak, and he was in good spirits after staying in the cellar for a few days.
