"There's nothing terrible about meeting them on flat ground, but if they attack us when crossing a river, it will cause a lot of trouble."
?n" Xue Chong maintained a cautious enough attitude, "Stop advancing, everyone rests on the spot, and the scouts go to find a suitable place to cross the river."
Ding Kui gathered all the archers and led them personally to explore the way.
Li Hao tried his best to barely keep up with Ding Kui, "Sir, where are your soldiers?"
"He, go check on the situation of the herd. The smell on your body will alarm the beasts with sensitive sense of smell. He has a way to cover it up." Ding Kui went straight to the river bank.
Fenjiao River is not deep and the water flow is not fast. Because the bottom of the river is silt, the water flow is relatively turbid and it is difficult to see clearly what is going on in the water.
After carefully observing the upstream and downstream, Ding Kui was disappointed. The river was relatively straight and there was no particularly narrow place. "Li Tie said that the denser the grass on the opposite side, the stronger the ground. Since there is no shortcut, choose a place with high safety."
." He stomped on the ground a few times, "It's pretty good here."
"Is the gap between here and the river too big?" Li Hao saw that the slope of the river bank at his feet was quite steep, more than one meter high from the river.
"No, we have to drive wooden stakes into the water and leave a certain height. Otherwise, if the tide suddenly rises, we will be threatened by piranhas. Moreover, this height can also prevent the 'two-tailed crocodile', and the beasts on the shore will charge too hard.
You will fall, so the safety here is the highest." Ding Kui is becoming more and more mature, which is different from his adventure back in the Hengduan Mountains.
"Oh, fortunately the river bed is not gravel bottom, so it doesn't take so much effort to drive the stakes." It was also the first time for Li Hao to enter the swamp, which was very different from his previous hunting experience in the mountains.
"Shoot the loud arrow to guide everyone over." Ding Kui didn't have the hand strength of Ao Yu. He couldn't do such a difficult thing as throwing the loud arrow into the sky with his bare hands, so he took Li Hao with him.
Ding Kui and Li Hao were not idle while waiting for the arrival of the large army. They put on their gloves and cleared the weeds on the shore. 66 Archers who arrived one after another also started to clear a large open space on the shore.
Ao Yu came over and joined Ding Kui, drooling. He pointed up and said, "There is a herd of buffalo over there. There are at least more than a hundred buffalo."
"Are there no other animals?" Ding Kui stood up straight and rocked left and right a few times to relax.
"There are also a few rabbits and a few crocodiles. Those don't taste as exciting as the buffalo." Ao Yu selectively ignored the animals that didn't taste as exciting.
"Crocodile? Two-tailed one?"
Ao Yu nodded.
"That's a level three monster. It's a threat to Paoze. If you don't want to eat it, it will eat us." Ding Kui wanted to kick Ao Yu in the feet.
"I don't blame you. I didn't dig out their magic cores when I saw your noisy arrows." Ao Yu actually learned to roll his eyes.
Ding Kui was so angry that he couldn't do anything to his stabbing soldiers.
The large troops arrived quickly, startling a group of migratory birds and causing a commotion in the black spots high in the sky.
Li Tie borrowed a long gun and used the two guns as his feet to enter the river. He quickly walked back and forth in the Fenjiao River and roughly measured the average depth of the river.
"The third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh squadrons are chipping the piles." Xue Chong turned to look at Ding Kui, "I can only rely on you to cover the pile driving troops in the water."
"No problem!" Ding Kui has already begun to wear the "Black Magic Armor". This armor is dual-purpose, and may be used in air combat. It is one of his most satisfying rewards.
Ding Kui jumped up in the air, and when he fell to the river, he pushed the "Splitting Wind Cone" into the water a little, and his body rose into the air again. When he fell for the second time, he stood firmly in the middle of the river.
"Captain D's arm strength is so strong, he is better than the humble one now." Li Tie had seen Ao Yu's power but had never seen Ding Kui take action.
"That kid is just like Ba Xi. He has strange strength from nowhere. He is an anomaly among our knights." Xue Chong prided himself on being powerful, but he had to submit in front of Ding Kui and Ba Xi.
As soon as he reached the center of the river and stood up, Ding Kui immediately noticed that the water around him was churning, and countless black shadows were surrounding him in the turbid river water. With his sharp eyesight and quick hands, he fired his spear and hit a black shadow in the water. He picked it out of the water and took a look.
It turned out to be a palm-sized, ferocious-looking black fish.
Creaking, squeaking sounds came from Ding Kui's legs immersed in the water, and the black strange fish was biting the armor on his legs. He turned his head to look at Ao Yu, who had also fallen into the water, but there was no movement at all.
"Hey, why don't you let the piranha bite you a few times? It's too conspicuous." Ding Kui said in a voice that could only be heard by Ao Yu.
They are both aquatic creatures, and the green dragon is at the top of the food chain. The little piranhas dare not get close to Ao Yu. He shrugged and tried his best to restrain his pressure, attracting a group of piranhas to circle around him, but no piranha dared to do so.
Bite him.
On the other side, Ding Kui found that even the piranha's broken teeth could not leave any traces on the "Black Magic Armor", so he felt relieved and turned back to the shore and shouted: "Li Tie, please bring people to dig stakes, don't go into the water, I will
and Ding Yu will hold you in the water."
At this time, the sun had passed over the head and was setting in the west direction. The special operations team crossed the river later than scheduled. The team of thousands of people moved slower than the team of more than ten people.
Li Tie led several agile warriors, and with the help of Ding Kui and Ao Yu, drove the wooden stakes into the water one by one. After laying down the first few wooden stakes, it would be much more convenient later.
Croak, croak, croak, several strange screams came from high in the sky, and the red-headed kite, which had been monitoring the special operations brigade for a long time, made some move.
"The first and second squadrons protect the two wings, the ninth and tenth squadrons protect the rear, and the others continue to drive piles to cross the river." Xue Chong himself also picked up his spear and was on guard.
The two rows of wooden piles were already close to the center of the river, and could be extended to the other side of the river in less than half an hour. Ding Kui stopped playing fish sticks and concentrated on paying attention to the situation around him.
The red-headed kite did not rush directly towards the special operations brigade, but dived towards the upper reaches of the Fenjiao River.
"Oops!" Ding Kui and Li Tie shouted at the same time.
Ding Kui asked: "Is the red-headed kite so smart? Does it know how to drive the herds to deal with us?"
"Although I have never encountered them before, I heard from my seniors that red-headed kites are very cunning. You have to be extra careful when encountering them. Your guess may be correct." Li Tie stopped driving piles and followed the red-headed kites with his eyes.
Ding Kui had no time to explain and shouted towards the shore: "Counter assault formation, Team Xue, counter assault formation!"
Xue Chong was slightly startled, but he quickly reacted because there was a slight vibration on the ground.
"The 5th, 6th, and 7th Squadrons stopped crossing the river and set up a counter-assault formation in the upstream direction; the 1st Squadron retreated and formed with me." Xue Chongxun adjusted the formation and added himself to the "Ding Kui Squadron" to prepare for the counter-attack.
.
Before the special operations brigade could set up their formation, more than a hundred gray buffalo appeared on the upstream bank and were running downstream in terror.
