At about nine o'clock in the evening, the moon slowly rose, and the cold light enveloped the earth.
Wu Dongfang turned to look at the eastern sky and found that there was a full moon hanging in the sky. Then he remembered that today was August 15th. If he survived tonight, his enthronement ceremony would be on September 9th, twenty-four days later.
August 15th is a very festive day in modern times, when families reunite and get together happily, but now there is no Mid-Autumn Festival. August 15th is just one of the twelve full moons for the people of the Xia Dynasty.
The moon is also called the lunar calendar, and a full-moon night is the day with the heaviest yin energy in the month.
Half an hour later, the fog layer on the west side of the valley began to dissipate. As the fog layer dissipated, countless red dots and blue dots appeared in the mountains in the distance. These red dots and blue dots were moving, and the blue dots were moving. Front, lower height. The red dots are at the back and are higher off the ground. These red dots and blue dots should be the eyes of two beasts, but because they are too far away, it is still unclear what they are.
At this time, the two beasts were converging in the western mountains towards the valley area. As the distance shortened, he saw the blue-eyed beasts running at the front. This was a beast he had never seen before, with the same size and size. The size is very similar to that of a reindeer, with gray-white fur and two Y-shaped horns on its head. These strange deer are definitely not vegetarians, because they have claws instead of hooves. Long hooves or claws are what distinguish this animal. An important indicator of whether they are herbivorous or carnivorous, these strange deer are undoubtedly carnivores. Their mouths are wider than deer, and their teeth are similar to those of crocodiles, with real fangs and sharp teeth.
Strange deers galloped from the mountains and fields to the west, and there were countless of them all over the mountains and fields.
In the sky behind them, a kind of strange bird with a sharp beak was flying densely. This strange bird looked like a giant wasp with bird feathers. The feathers on its body were colorful, and it was similar in size to a seagull. It had a long tail, four wings, and a sharp beak. They are in the shape of thorns, half a foot long, and the mouths of the larger ones are even more than twenty centimeters long.
Compared with the strange deer that are all over the mountains and fields, there are more of these strange birds. They are overwhelming, covering the sky and covering the sky with clouds and blocking out the sun. No, there is no sun at night, it is blocking out the clouds and closing the moon.
Wu Dongfang frowned and looked at the strange deer and birds coming from a distance. At the same time, he eagerly looked for the larger main target, but only these two kinds of beasts could be seen in the mountains and there was no huge tiger monster.
Countless strange deer and birds were coming towards the east like huge waves. The closer they got, the greater the psychological pressure he felt. Not to mention the tiger demon, these two ferocious beasts, the Jin clan wizard could not resist. The wizards of the Jin clan can only control metals, and there are not many metal artifacts at this time.
The deer-like monster runs very fast and has strong jumping ability. It can easily jump more than ten meters. This beast has no claw sheaths and its claws are exposed and in the shape of a hook. It can be easily broken by seven or eight centimeters in length. An adult's throat.
The strange bird follows the strange deer. While flying, it can move left and right and up and down to adjust its flying position. There is no warning before moving and no inertia after moving. It moves when it wants to move and stops when it wants to. It is very agile.
The strange deer soon came to the valley to the west, but they did not rush out of the valley. Instead, they stopped in the middle of the valley, crowding and roaring to seize a favorable position.
The strange birds followed closely and landed on the cliffs on the left and right of the valley. They were also crowding each other and trying their best to get close to the edge of the cliff where the valley was located.
Seeing this situation, Wu Dongfang had some concerns in his mind. At this time, the barrier had not been opened yet, and they could not get out for the time being. Even if the barrier is opened, they can only pass through the valley and cannot pour out from all directions. Otherwise, they can be lined up in a row. There is no need to crowd together on the two cliffs near the valley.
Seeing more and more strange deer and birds gathering together, Wu Dongfang became a little anxious. He didn't know when the barrier would be opened. Once the barrier was opened, these strange deer and birds would immediately rush out crazily. At that time, in order to protect these children, he He had to take action, and up to this moment he still had not found the real master.
Attacking the tiger demon without discovering it will make the tiger demon be prepared. A surprise attack will lead to a narrow escape. If the tiger demon is prepared, it will really be a life-or-death situation.
Worrying in his heart, Wu Dongfang looked eagerly around the southwest, due west, and northwest. At this time, the barrier was crowded with strange deer and strange birds, crowded together with almost no gaps. The tiger monster was undoubtedly their leader. If the leader was really here, they would I don’t dare not leave room for leadership.
After confirming that the tiger demon was not around the barrier, Wu Dongfang shifted his gaze to the distance and focused on searching for several commanding heights in the west. Leaders liked to observe the situation from a high position and would never hide in a corner sneakily.
No, the fog in the west has cleared by this time, and the moonlight illuminates the distance. I have carefully looked at several mountain peaks, but there is no trace of the tiger demon.
If you can't get together for dinner, ask your subordinates to share what the tiger monster wants to do. Whether it didn't come at all or came late. Both possibilities are possible, but the latter is more likely. Leaders usually do it deliberately during dinner parties. Those who arrive late and those who come early are all small soldiers.
But this doesn't make sense. These strange deer and birds look like hungry lice. Once they start eating, they won't even have a plate left for the leader.
Why didn't the tiger demon come
Just when he was puzzled, the roaring beasts and the screaming birds quieted down. Wu Dongfang looked far away and found that the beasts and birds did not look back, and there was no tiger monster in the west. These guys are all looking up.
He also looked up, and when he looked up, he found that the moon, which was originally a full moon, had flaws.
A lunar eclipse is a lunar eclipse. This phenomenon only occurs on full moon nights and is neither common nor rare.
He didn't know the potential connection between the lunar eclipse and the barrier, but he was sure that when the lunar eclipse reached a certain level, the barrier in the valley would disappear. Even if it didn't disappear, there would be a gap. At that time, the strange deer on the other side of the barrier would appear. and strange birds will rush over from the valley.
This valley is five or six miles long, about the same height and width, about two hundred meters. He is unable to seal such a large gap. Instead of spending his spiritual energy to seal the gap, it is better to kill these ferocious monsters directly.
The length of a lunar eclipse varies. It may be several hours or just tens of minutes. The lunar eclipse tonight appears very suddenly and very quickly. After a few minutes, only half of the moon is left. All the strange deer and the strange birds were waiting quietly.
The moment the moon is completely covered, the barrier is likely to disappear. If the tiger demon doesn't come within a few minutes, it just isn't going to use the chopsticks first.
If the tiger demon does not appear, he will have to fight these strange deer and birds first, and he cannot use the Yagi Dragon Ting, because the Yagi Dragon Ting will make a loud noise, and if the tiger demon is somewhere far away, it may alert him it and lead it over.
Kill the pawns first, then face the leader.
There is no choice or need to continue to hide his whereabouts. Wu Dongfang jumped up from his hiding place and landed in front of the valley. At this time, the sky had begun to darken and the barrier might disappear at any time.
There is still a distance of two or three miles from the middle of the valley to the east exit. It is most beneficial for him to block it in the valley, but he cannot do it in the valley because corpses will pile up in the valley, blocking the passage and covering the interior. The copper pillar hiding the gunpowder must ensure that the passage is clear, otherwise the tiger demon may not move in the valley after it appears, but use other movement methods. If the opponent does not use the passage, the explosives will be prepared in vain.
The moon completely disappeared, the gate opened wide, strange deer rushed out, and strange birds flew down the cliff and flew eastward from the valley.
Wu Dongfang did not rush to take action, but quickly retreated and made final adjustments to the blocking position and distance.
The moment the strange deer rushed to the entrance of the valley, Wu Dongfang took action. He waved his left arm diagonally, and a sharp stone cone made of gravel was stabbed at the strange deer that were about to rush out of the valley. The stone cone was Then, a large number of strange deer screamed and fell down.
He waved his right arm again, and the stone cone rose again. The strange deer rushing in front fell down again. The corpse of the dead strange deer tripped up the strange deer behind him. He freed his hand, opened his bow left and right, and waved a large stone cone to fly in the valley. Shoot one of the strange birds to death.
The strange birds were small in size, and the stone cone failed to stop all the strange birds flying in front. Wu Dongfang waved his right hand again, and swung out more than a hundred two-inch earth thorns to stop the strange birds' momentum.
At this time, a large number of strange deer that had been tripped over had already rolled over the pile of corpses and climbed up to rush forward. Wu Dongfang stretched his hands forward and extended his spiritual energy to recall the stone cones inserted into the corpses of the strange deer, pierce the forward strange deer, and once again He raised his hand and stabbed the stone cone at another group of strange deer that jumped onto the pile of corpses.
After swinging out the stone cone, Wu Dongfang flipped on the spot, and each of his hands and feet brought out a pile of earth thorns, which swung diagonally to seal the strange birds flying out of the valley.
Flip twice to block the road, Wu Dongfang lowered his hands and sucked the earth and rocks in front of him off the ground. With both wrists shaking, he stabbed a group of strange deer to the left to death. He swung his right hand back and brought out a bunch of sharp earth thorns again. The strange deer that tried to rush out from the right was knocked down.
At this time, dozens of strange birds had already flown out of the valley. Wu Dongfang's spiritual energy descended, and he stepped hard on the ground with his right foot. The spiritual energy entered the earth, shaking up a large number of bones, earth and rocks. The earth and rocks could be manipulated, turning into a large number of earth thorns and stone cones that pierced the sky. The bones of the strange bird could not be condensed and fell to the ground again.
Block up and down, block left and right, methodical, fast but not chaotic.
At this moment, what he was thinking about was that there was a reason why the Tu tribe monopolized the Nine Provinces. Among the five elements, all things were native to the earth. As long as there were earth and rocks around, the Tu tribe wizards could perform Qi control techniques.
I was a little nervous before taking action, but once I did, I calmed down completely. There are a large number of strange deer and strange birds at the other end of the valley. Currently, less than one-tenth of them are killed or injured. You must maintain a steady pace. Any improper handling may cause loopholes. Once a loophole occurs, the entire line will be lost.
No matter how careful you are, there are times when you make mistakes. A strange deer on the north side of the valley took advantage of the cover of the same kind of corpses to survive under the dense stone cone and rushed towards the child three miles away.
Wu Dongfang noticed this situation out of the corner of his eye, and subconsciously swung a stone awl to stab him to death.
Although this subconscious action only delayed half an instant, it caused very serious consequences. Due to the interruption in the defense, hundreds of strange birds flew out of the valley.
While he was frowning and thinking about countermeasures, dozens more strange deer rushed out from the southern corner of the valley. When he turned his head to look, the strange deer in the middle also rushed out of the pile of corpses.
