The loud and desolate horn sound suddenly sounded, and the entire valley stronghold quickly woke up. Torches were lit everywhere, and countless figures rushed toward the door in anticipation.
"What! A large number of humans suddenly appeared to attack the stronghold. How is the battle situation now?"
Deep in the stronghold, in the tallest building, a tower-like barbarian man looked at the messenger in front of him and asked in a deep voice.
This place looks like a meeting hall. There are weird animal-shaped patterns engraved on the surrounding walls, and there are also some specimens made of strange monster heads hanging. On the ground in the center of the hall, there is also a huge sheet.
of animal skins.
Behind the big man in the iron tower stood a young barbarian with a strong build, his upper body naked, and a blue wolf head totem painted on his chest. His expression was cold and silent, like a sculpture.
"I'm telling you, Lord Wu, although we have temporarily blocked more than ten invaders at the entrance of the valley, the opponent's strength is strong, and there seem to be more than a hundred reinforcements in the dense forest in the distance." The messenger was covered in blood at the moment, but looking at it
It was not his own, he half-knelt on the ground and said quickly.
"So, there should be many Houtian warriors among the attacking human race, but how could it be possible that so many human races suddenly appeared here..." The iron tower man's expression became solemn.
At this moment, a series of explosions came from the mouth of the valley.
The Iron Tower Barbarian's expression changed, and when he walked to the door of the building, he saw a raging flame burning in the direction of the valley mouth several miles away, and thick smoke rose into the sky. He didn't know what was going on.
"Oops, those despicable humans want to burn the food and grass here!" The tower man was shocked.
"Tuma Gu, you immediately lead your totem warriors to the mouth of the valley and mobilize all your troops to stop the human attack!" The Iron Tower Barbarian suddenly turned around and ordered the young wolf-headed totem warrior.
"yes!"
The man agreed, and his figure turned into a wisp of smoke, running out of the hall and heading into the distance.
The big man from the Iron Tower waved his hand and asked the spy who was kneeling on the ground to step back.
He pondered in the hall for a moment, then turned and walked towards the interior of the hall.
…
On another mountain peak on the side of the valley, four figures stood side by side. They were Shi Mu, Bai Yuxiu and others.
"It seems that this strategy of luring the enemy has been quite successful. Most of the barbarians have been attracted to the mouth of the valley." The young Taoist priest with a sword on his back said.
At this moment, the battle at the entrance of the valley has become intense. Flames and smoke are billowing, and the sounds of fighting are endless.
Although there are only a dozen people on the human side, they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, but fortunately they are all acquired warriors, and their strength is far higher than that of ordinary barbarian soldiers. One enemy can be attacked ten times, and it can be delayed for a while.
"Without further delay, let's take action. They won't last long." The dark-skinned young man said with a change of eyes.
Shi Mu followed the dark-skinned young man's gaze and narrowed his eyes.
I saw a dozen unusually tall figures in the city below, rushing quickly towards the entrance of the valley. They were all totem warriors among the barbarians.
"let's go!"
Bai Yuxiu's face darkened. He grabbed a thick rope in his hand and tied the other end to a tree on the mountain peak. He jumped directly from the mountain peak.
The other three people did the same. They grabbed a rope in their hands and jumped down.
After a few breaths, the four of them fell into the valley silently, their bodies flashing a few times, and they hid behind a building.
Bai Yuxiu glanced around a few times, waved his hand, and flew towards the depths of the valley first, followed by Shi Mu and the other three.
The walled city here is divided into two levels: inner and outer. According to their prior investigation, most of the food and grass supplies in the stronghold are stored in the inner city. Although most barbarians are now attracted to the valley entrance, there must still be barbarians stationed inside.
While the four people were infiltrating, there were people guarding them, but with their skills it was not a problem. These barbarians didn't even see their opponents, so they died on the spot inexplicably.
Shi Mu and others entered the inner city without much effort, and the success was unexpected.
"A lot of food and grass..." Shi Mu and others entered the inner city and took a brief look, with a look of surprise on their faces.
There are dozens of cylindrical wooden buildings in the inner city. Almost every building is filled with rice, grain supplies, siege weapons, weapons, armor and other items.
There are also more than a dozen greenhouses set up in the open space outside the house, and there are also grain and grass supplies underneath.
"This much food and grass can supply tens of thousands of troops. Could it be that all the military resources of the barbarians in Fuzhou are here?" The young Taoist priest with a sword on his back exhaled and said softly.
The four of them were hiding in the open space behind a building. Shi Mu looked around and felt something was wrong.
The guards along the inner city were unexpectedly lax, and the grain depot, which was the most important part of the entire stronghold, was not even patrolled.
I wonder if it was because of the fighting at Taniguchi that all the people here were attracted.
"Let's start now and burn all the food and grass. It will be a great achievement when we get back." The dark-skinned young man from the Fenghuo Sect said with great joy.
"Hey, I didn't expect this trip to be so easy. I should be able to change to a better sword when I go back this time." A hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the young Taoist priest who carried the sword.
"That's fine." Bai Yuxiu pondered for a moment, looked around, and nodded.
Shi Mu didn't speak. For some reason, he felt the air nearby gave him a solemn feeling.
"Then according to the previous plan, Junior Brother Shi will sneak in and activate the Fire Cloud Talisman, and the three of us will help and release the wind. We must burn all the food and grass here." Bai Yuxiu's eyes flashed slightly, and he took it out of his arms.
The Fire Cloud Talisman was handed to Shi Mu and he said this.
Shi Mu was about to reach out and take it when his expression suddenly changed and he jumped back.
A "whoosh" sound!
Soon enough, a black shadow flashed past him like a ghost, caught the Fire Cloud Talisman in Bai Yuxiu's hand, and then flew into the darkness ahead like lightning.
Bai Yuxiu screamed and jumped back. His right hand was dripping with blood and two fingers were missing.
Shi Mu was taken aback. He lowered his feet and jumped to the side. He turned over his hand and pulled out the black meteorite knife, holding it horizontally in front of him.
On the other side, the young Taoist priest and the dark-skinned young man with swords on their backs had already grasped the weapons in their hands, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Who is it?" Bai Yuxiu endured the pain of his broken finger and shouted into the darkness ahead.
"Huh, what a bunch of useless things! Five hundred elite soldiers and twenty totem warriors guarding the place actually let four little mice sneak in."
A cold voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, and a man in black robe slowly walked out.
This man has a stern appearance, with a white face and no beard. He is not as tall as ordinary barbarians, but he is more than nine feet tall. He is wearing a jet black feather cloak, which is decorated with crow feathers. Under the moonlight, it looks dark and shiny.
If it weren't for the alien's light yellow hair, this man would be almost the same as a tall human man.
The man in the black cloak was followed by a large barbarian man who looked like an iron tower, but at this moment he looked timid, looking extremely afraid of the man in the black cloak next to him who was less than his shoulder height.
A "hissing" sound sounded!
Just when Shi Mu and others were looking at the two people who suddenly appeared in front of them, a snake head the size of a bowl appeared from behind the man in the black cloak. The snake body covered with black and gray patterns was winding around the man in the black cloak.
It's several feet long.
The snake's eyes glowed with cold light, and it held a talisman in its mouth. It was the Fire Cloud Talisman, and there were faint traces of blood on it.
The man in the black cloak just stood there casually, and a heavy pressure enveloped the hearts of Shi Mu and the other four people, making all four of them feel breathless.
"Innate master!" Shi Mu was horrified.
Bai Yuxiu and the others were obviously aware of the strength of this black-cloaked man, and their faces also instantly lost color.
"Fire Cloud Talisman, tsk tsk... You old guys from the human race are really willing to spend money, and you even gave me the middle-level talisman." The man in the black cloak said with a sigh.
At this moment, a crimson fireball suddenly appeared and hit the fire cloud talisman in the black cloaked man's hand like a meteor. Before it could reach him, waves of scorching fire began to roll in.
Bai Yufeng and the other three were shocked. The fireball came from Shi Mu on the side.
I don't know when there were four or five red talismans in his hand. The light in his hands flashed, and four or five flames emerged again, this time flying towards the buildings in all directions.
As soon as the fireball flew out, Shi Mu turned around and ran towards the distance without any hesitation.
A series of actions were as fast as lightning. Before Bai Yuxiu and the others could react, Shi Mu had already rushed several feet away.
The man in the black cloak snorted and hid the talisman behind his back. Then a faint blue light appeared on his body and he punched out.
The Fire Cloud Talisman is a mid-level talisman. Once it is contaminated with even a little bit of fire-attribute spiritual power, it may be triggered immediately and release the terrifying spiritual power contained in it. Being affected by an intermediate-level talisman at such a close distance is no joke.
His innate cultivation may not be able to make it easy.
Boom!
A ball of blue fist wind bombarded the red fireball, and with a flash of blue light, the fireball shattered into pieces and turned into a burst of flames that flew away.
However, after this delay, the three people in front of Bai Yuxiu also woke up and turned around and fled away into the distance.
The man in the black cloak had a cold look in his eyes, and was about to catch up with Dongsheng.
A few rumbles.
Several other fireballs that Shi Mu had just released had now landed on the surrounding buildings. These mana-containing flames were extremely hot and had ignited several buildings in the blink of an eye.
Since most of the houses are flammable, the fire will spread quickly if not controlled.
The face of the man in the black cloak darkened, and the faint blue light on his body shone brightly. He swung out his hands in succession, and huge blue palm shadows about four to five feet in size emerged, slapping towards the newly ignited flames.
The technique practiced by the man in black cloak has a cold attribute, and he is like a flame nemesis. Wherever his palm shadow falls, it turns into a ball of blue mist, the temperature drops sharply, and most of the fire is extinguished immediately.
The black snake that was originally wrapped around his body was also quite spiritual. When he took action, he also flew towards a burning building. The snake's tail swept violently and suppressed the rising flames.
"You call people to put out the fire. Leave those boys to me."
The man in the black cloak, with a livid face, gave instructions to the tower-like barbarian man. He stood up from the ground and chased Shi Mu and others in the direction of escape like a kite. (To be continued.)
