Two miles away from the canyon along the river, there is a slightly spacious valley. The valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Near the foot of the steep mountain diagonally facing the canyon in the southwest, there is a slightly hidden cave.
At the entrance is a sunken grotto, which may not seem big, but once you enter, it is very spacious inside.
It was cold and rainy outside, but it was warm and dry inside the cave.
Densely packed stones were piled along the cave wall to form numerous large and small stone nests, which were covered with hay and animal skins.
In the sunken grotto at the entrance of the cave, there is a huge fire pit with a diameter of at least ten meters. The fire is blazing now, and the red fire is burning and swaying in the cold wind.
In the open space on the northwest side of the fire pit, a young witch with a bare upper body and feathers on her head was holding a dark scepter, twisting her body crazily as if possessed by an evil spirit, and loudly chanting strange blessings.
Surrounding the witch, men, women, and children were kneeling on the ground, whimpering like wild beasts as they followed the witch's singing.
Outside the cave entrance, there are hundreds of young and strong men with their faces covered in paint and tattoos. They are holding crude sticks and spears around the fire pit, and they are constantly turning and roaring in response to the witch's high and low sharp voice.
A neat shout.
Under the light of the burning fire, figures of demons dancing wildly appeared on the surrounding cave walls, full of primitive and primitive atmosphere.
The voice was shrill, the roar was like thunder, and the shadow was baring its teeth and claws, as if it was waiting for an unknown and terrible thing to happen, or it was using such a sacrificial ritual to intimidate and resist some terrible enemy.
"Woo~wu~wu~"
"Dong dong dong dong..."
Suddenly there was a terrifying sound from deep in the valley.
There was a sudden silence inside and outside the cave, and the witch's voice stopped suddenly, as if the air had suddenly solidified.
“￥%#@……”
After a moment of silence, someone suddenly let out a terrified cry.
There was an uproar in the entire cave, and the men turned around and looked toward the valley. They were all extremely nervous and frightened, especially some of the guys with bruises and bruises on their noses and faces. Their bodies trembled slightly and they began to retreat slowly.
The women and children who were kneeling all over the floor became even more panicked. They all screamed and got up and swarmed into the cave, huddled together against the cave wall and shivered.
Just like Xu Chen said, in yesterday's battle, the Pi tribe suffered the most terrifying blow in hundreds of years. At this time, the entire tribe was in a state of extreme panic.
Dozens of the most powerful hunters who went to sneak attack on the Dai clan fled before they could see the enemy clearly. Less than half of them came back, and they were all frightened to death. They could not even speak incoherently after crawling back.
To describe the specific situation, I only said that I encountered an unknown number of black aliens riding huge beasts. They were as irresistible as demons. They would die if they looked at them from a distance. They would also make terrifying demonic noises, and you would be deafened if you heard them.
Blind, those who did not come back have most likely been killed.
Faced with this terrifying news, the entire Pi clan was thrown into complete chaos, and even the great wizard was so frightened that he could do nothing but lose his mind.
The tribe of demons riding beasts are terrifying enemies that have never been heard of in ancient times.
If only one or two people say this, some people will definitely not believe it.
But when a group of usually the bravest hunters came back and plunged into the deepest part of the cave in fear, huddled in a grass nest talking nonsense and shivering, no one was allowed to doubt them.
Everyone was panicked and didn't know what to do.
In panic, the great witch decided to hold an ancient and mysterious sacrifice to pray to the gods for help in fighting these demons.
She didn't know why she offended such a powerful demon, but when all the men were frightened, it was impossible to expect them to resist the demon.
Therefore, we can only hope that the gods will send down their blessing power to drive away and block the demons, so that the tribe can survive.
This ceremony started at dawn, and as the sacrificial activities progressed, it started to rain, and then it started to rain harder and harder.
All the tribesmen thought that their prayers were answered by the gods, who used the rain to prevent the arrival of this powerful alien race of demons riding beasts.
But unfortunately, their prayers did not work, these demons have already arrived.
The low sound of the horn penetrated the cold rain.
The thunderous sound of drums ripped through the cold wind.
This terrifying sound is like urging someone to die
The hunters who escaped yesterday screamed in terror, and some lost their sticks and weapons and fled deeper into the cave.
Someone ran away and kicked over the firewood. The red flames scattered in the cave, and countless people screamed.
Someone knocked over his companion, rolling and wailing in the stampede.
A group of male and female leaders with feathers on their heads or tattoos and animal teeth, all panicked and overwhelmed.
The moment the trumpets and drums sounded, the scene almost got out of control instantly.
The scepter in the young wizard's hand fell to the ground, and he looked at the valley where the cold rain was rolling down with a horrified expression.
"@#￥……"
An old woman helped the great witch up and took her to hide in the cave.
The great witch staggered for a few steps, but soon broke away from the tribesman's hand, turned around, picked up his great witch scepter, and walked toward the cave entrance step by step, trembling all over.
"￥#%......"
A group of older men and women who came back to their senses all chased after the witch and tried their best to hold the witch back. Many frightened men followed tremblingly, wanting to protect their witch, but soon a group of people seemed to be under a restraining spell.
They all stopped.
I saw a large group of men wailing and crawling out of the valley.
These are all the tribal hunters who went to raid the Dai clan yesterday, but not one of them died.
But before they had time to be happy, their eyes widened and their whole bodies began to tremble violently as if they had seen a ghost.
Densely packed giant beasts rushed out of the valley.
On the back of each giant beast, there is a man wearing strange animal skin clothes sitting. These people are powerful and have ferocious faces. Some of them are holding golden horns, and some are beating a strange thing. The huge sound is like this.
from.
On several tall wooden poles, huge objects with patterns painted on them were whirring and flying in the wind and rain.
These people did not come quickly, but the sound of densely packed horse hooves was like thunder, and the whole valley was trembling.
"Pap~"
The scepter in the witch's hand fell to the ground again.
Everyone was so frightened that their expressions were dull.
What a terrifying enemy this must be. Even if they are not demons, they may be more terrifying than demons.
Because the moment they saw it clearly, everyone had lost the ability to think.
Facing us, the hunters who had rolled and crawled back rushed to the front of the cave and did not dare to go in. They stood at the entrance of the cave and cried and howled loudly.
They hope that their great witch can help them get rid of these demonic enemies.
But the great witch remained motionless, and finally collapsed on the cold ground.
In the cold wind and rain, her eyes were empty and without any focus, as if she had left her body.
The witch was frightened!
A group of prisoners collapsed completely and lay on the ground shivering.
The other party got closer and closer, and finally stopped less than twenty meters away from the cave. As one of the people raised his arm, the drumming stopped immediately.
"Your Majesty the Witch King, they seem to be frightened!"
The dragon held a thick and long giant spear and whispered a strange reminder.
"I saw it!" Xu Chen nodded slightly, his teeth trembling a little.
It's not that I'm scared, it's just that it's too cold.
The soaked clothes and leather armor were like being soaked in ice water, and the body's heat was constantly disappearing.
"Did you see the fire?" Xu Chen pointed at a pile of flames inside the cave with his riding crop.
"Look... I see it!" The voice of Gu, who was holding the horn next to him, was also trembling.
"Go in and warm yourself by the fire!"
Xu Chen rode his horse forward.
Feng Helong and others, together with a group of officers and hunters, quickly rode their horses to surround him. The group of people walked directly to the cave as if there was no one around.
The prisoners lying on the ground blocking the road in front and a group of Dai tribe hunters fled in both directions in fear.
At the entrance of the cave, a group of leaders and hunters protecting the witch were all scared and backed away.
"Long, take your people down and capture their witches. Anyone who resists will be killed!"
"Follow the order!"
Under Xu Chen's order, all the Uzbek hunters dismounted. Long thrust his spear into the ground, drew out the long knife from his waist and strode straight towards the witch who was lying on the ground.
"@#￥……"
The skin hunters let out frightened and trembling roars and raised their spears in an attempt to stop them.
"Crack!"
The long knife in the dragon's hand swung up, and the spear instantly split into two pieces. In the blink of an eye, only half of the stick was left in the opponent's hand.
"..."
The Pi tribe hunter looked at the wooden stick in his hand, his face was dull for a moment, he threw away the stick and screamed, then turned around and ran away.
The remaining Pi tribe hunters were so frightened that they retreated hastily again, leaving their witch alone at the entrance of the cave.
Long walked up and picked up the naked young witch. With a grin, he raised her up with one hand and faced a group of skin tribesmen and continued to stride inside.
A group of Pi tribe hunters holding spears and wooden clubs became even more frightened and confused, shouting and retreating.
The dragon put the knife on the witch's neck. After the scene froze for a short time, some of the frightened Pi tribe hunters dropped their weapons and fell to the ground, wailing loudly.
Then more companions threw away their sticks and spears and lay on the ground in groups, including a group of clan leaders with feathers on their heads.
They were afraid of not taking good care of their witch because they were frightened. Now the witch fell into the hands of these demon-like people. If they didn't surrender, the witch's head would be cut off in an instant.
A spear as thick as an arm can be easily cut off, and the neck can be broken with just one click.
Without the great witch, the Pi tribe will inevitably be abandoned by the gods.
What's more, what's more, we are facing a group of demon-like enemies.
All the Pi people in the cave were lying on the ground and wailing, their voices were miserable and panicked, and they were so frightened that they were completely confused.
At this time, a group of Uzbek hunters following the dragon rushed into the cave with spears, bows and arrows. They kicked and dragged the men and women who were blocking the way and rushed to the side of the fire pit. Then someone shouted excitedly: "Witch."
Your Majesty, come in and warm yourself by the fire!"
Seeing that the situation was under control in an instant, Xu Chen felt a stone in his heart finally hit the ground. He walked to the front of the cave and dismounted, and entered the cave surrounded by a group of people including Feng Heheng.
