On a hilltop next to the village, Old Sander and his group stood, but the calmness of the past had long since disappeared. Everyone's face was as pale as paper, without any blood. Even Ye Chong, a usually calm person, couldn't help but change his face slightly when he saw the scene in front of him.
In the distance, a black line is approaching quickly. Everyone here has sharp eyes, how could they not see clearly
Countless beasts were rushing towards this side like a dark cloud, like a tidal wave. The scene was so spectacular that even people like Ye Chong who were accustomed to big scenes were horrified. In this army of beasts, there were extremely many types of beasts, but these beasts actually ignored each other and just kept running forward with their heads down, looking panic-stricken, as if something terrible was chasing them behind them.
This army of beasts is extremely huge. Looking from a distance from the top of the mountain, the black torrent is endless, with no end as far as the eye can see.
In front of this black torrent, everything seemed so small and fragile. Nothing can stand in their way.
Boom, boom, boom.
The ground was trembling, and the roar of all the beasts running together was so shocking that no one could remain calm in the face of this scene.
After experiencing the initial shock, Ye Chong was the first to regain his composure. He turned to look at the pale-faced old Village Chief Sander and asked, "What's going on?"
Old Sander was trembling, without any trace of his usual composure, and kept muttering: "How is it possible... How is it possible..."
Seeing that everyone was in chaos, Ye Zhong had no choice but to turn his head and wait for them to recover before talking about anything. The current is still quite far away from here. And judging from the direction of this black torrent, it is very likely that it will flow through the plain in front of the entrance to Sangjia Village.
With everyone in panic, Ye Chong randomly chose a place on the top of the mountain and sat down. He had to wait for these people to calm down before he could know what was going on. From their expressions, Ye Chong knew that they must understand what was going on, but they just lost their sense of proportion at the moment.
There was no excitement, no fear, Ye Chong was just like a bystander. Watch calmly and leisurely, just watch. The ground beneath him was trembling, and the rumble sounded like muffled thunder in the distance. Ye Zhong still looked calmly at the wild beasts running for their lives in panic.
"What's going on?" Ye Chong spoke calmly, pointed at the beast in the distance, and suddenly asked. He could already hear Old Sander's breathing returning to normal.
There was a hint of vibrato in Old Sander's voice: "This is the beast tide... Beast tide... Ten years... There should be ten more years..." There was deep despair in Old Sander's voice.
Beast tide? Ye Chong still didn't know why.
Old Sander vented his anger, finally regained his composure, and began to explain to Ye Zhong what a beast tide was.
Beast tides come every two hundred years. These beasts were just driven away, and the source of this vigorous beast tide in Qianyudi was just the migration of a kind of bird. Iron bats are birds that live in the deepest part of Qianyu Di. They are the kings here. Their sharp claws and iron mouths are enough to pierce through the king of land beasts. Except for the creatures living in the water, they are the nemesis of all beasts in Qianyu Di. Because, here, they are the only ones with the ability to fly.
The most terrifying thing is. Iron bats always move in groups, hundreds or even thousands together.
The real source of the beast tide is the iron bat bird. Every two hundred years, iron bats undergo a large-scale migration. Countless iron bat birds will gather together and head towards the other side of Qianyu Di. Ironbats are extremely murderous during their migration and will kill any creature they see. With air superiority, they are invincible and unstoppable. Therefore, whenever the first three months of the migration of iron bats approaches, these sensitive beasts will be frightened and flee forward, forming a tide of beasts in front of them.
Ye Chong was secretly speechless, this iron bat bird was actually so terrifying. But when I think about it, I feel relieved. With air superiority, the iron bat is actually invincible. Coupled with its highly lethal beak and claws, it is no wonder that they are at the top of the food chain here.
Old Sander Village Chief looked desperate: "I didn't expect that this year's beast tide would be ten years ahead of schedule. It seems that we have to follow the beast herd. It's just that we haven't prepared anything. Now I'm afraid..." In the hearts of everyone else Everything is heavy. The migration of the whole clan is no joke. No one knows what is ahead. If we carry out such a long-distance migration without any preparation, the loss of personnel will definitely seriously weaken the vitality of the San clan.
"Are we going to migrate too?" Ye Chonghuo asked.
The old Sander village chief said helplessly: "What should we do? The sky is covered with iron bats as soon as they arrive. According to the legend passed down by our ancestors, whenever the iron bats come, the sky is covered. The entire migration process will last for a whole day. Yue. Who wants to leave here? No one knows what lies ahead. But we can't resist these iron bats." Old Sander's words were filled with deep sadness, and Samp and others beside him were full of satisfaction. Face sad.
"The beast tide usually occurs three months before the migration of the iron bats?" Ye Chong suddenly asked.
"Yeah." Old Sander Village Chief replied absentmindedly.
"Three months..." Ye Chong murmured, making calculations quickly in his mind. If he moved, he didn't know when or what month it would be before he could settle down, and his previous plan to save Mu Shang would have to go bankrupt.
This damn iron bat bird! Ye Chong cursed hatefully in his heart this kind of bird that he had never seen before.
According to Old Sander's description, the iron bat bird is unparalleled in power and cannot be matched at all. But Ye Zhong didn't believe that no matter how powerful the beast was, it was just a beast and could never be compared with humans. The biggest reason why the San people think they are powerful is that they are too backward. If they had light armor, would they still be so afraid of the iron bat bird? In the five star regions, there are adventurers who specialize in hunting various mutant creatures.
Light armor! Ye Zhong's head jumped, yes, it's light armor!
Quickly calculating in his mind, Ye Chong immediately had an idea.
Ye Chong asked Old Sander: "How many people can survive this migration?"
These words obviously touched on the pain in Old Sander's heart. He said with a sad expression: "I'm afraid it will be good to survive for three years. This year's blue fruits will not be fully mature for two months, and we don't have much food at the moment." But he Immediately, his expression changed: "But please don't worry, sir. We will ensure your safety. I just hope that when we get to a new place, you can help our clan regain its vitality." Old Sander Village Chief looked at Ye Chong sincerely.
"I have a way." Ye Zhong said calmly, his eyes meeting Old Xander's without hesitation.
The atmosphere in Sangjia Village was extremely tense, and everyone was busy.
At the entrance of the burial ground, the Sang family villagers lined up in a long queue, while Sang Fan and Sang Ling stood at the entrance to maintain order. Each villager received a few bones from Sang Fan, and Sang Ling handed over a fur with patterns on it.
Sang Fan said loudly: "Everyone, please pay attention. After everyone receives the bone, they will carve it according to the pattern given to you by Aling. You have also received the tools that Mr. gave you before. Everyone has carved love bones. I believe you will be able to get started soon, but please remember that you must strictly follow the dimensions on the drawing without any deviation. After everyone completes a piece, they must immediately send it to me for inspection. If you break the bones , come here immediately to get it yourself. I believe everyone knows what is going on. Yesterday, the beast tide started. What we are doing now is to protect our Sangjia Village. Everyone must complete the parts in hand as soon as possible. This is a matter of The life and death of our village is at stake. Every time you do one more thing, our hope of victory will be greater. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Everyone agreed loudly.
The three hundred most skilled carvers in the village were summoned. The three hundred people were like students, sitting upright with solemn expressions and silence. In front of them was the most prestigious person in the village besides Chief Sander, Chi Yi Sang Rubei.
The short and thin old man had a serious face at this time and said in a deep voice: "Your work is the most critical part. The drawings placed in front of you are what you need to complete. Each person is only responsible for one type of component. From today on From the beginning, your task is to keep carving, and your food will be delivered. All you have to do is carve, and keep carving. Now is the moment of life and death for our village, and I hope everyone can do their best!"
"Yes." The voice was not loud, but uniform.
However, all the women and children were assigned their own tasks by the old Sander village chief: "The original person who takes care of the blue berries will not change. The blue berries will be mature in two months. You must not slack off. The whole village is counting on you." ”
A middle-aged woman took the lead and said: "Village chief, don't worry, we will never relax at all."
Old Sander Village Chief nodded with satisfaction, then turned to the teenagers surrounding him and said, "Children, now is the time for everyone to contribute to the village. Are you afraid of being tired?"
"Don't be afraid!" The young children's voices were uneven, but they all carried the excitement unique to teenagers.
"Well, you are all good children!" Old Sander Village Chief looked kind, and touched the head of a child next to him happily. "Now grandpa is going to give you a task. Have you seen those low-heat stones? Each of you will be given a box later. All you have to do is polish these low-heat stones until they can fit into the box. Everyone should remember clearly, it must be just the right size to fit into the box.”
"I know." These children all answered loudly, clenching their little fists.
