For safety reasons, I asked Yoyo and the other human-headed spiders to disperse around and be on guard. Firstly, I was afraid that these scary big guys would scare the people who had just settled down. Secondly, I was afraid that there would be some hands on the altar watching the little white hair. They, let Yoyo and the others solve these troubles.
After the explanation was completed, I went alone to the camp where the men and horses were stationed. When the bouncing little people looked up and saw me walking towards them, they were surprised at first, and then turned to surprise!
"Master Yuanchu is back!!" The little centaur shouted while jumping towards the camp.
The men and horses who heard the news came out one after another, and Xiao Baimao also came out to greet him excitedly, "Master Yuanchu, we have been waiting for you. I saw tears shining in the eyes of several men and horses. Thinking of this journey, they It was really hard to walk...
I was very happy to see that they were all fine, but the first priority was to inform them of the danger they were about to face. "It's good to see that you are fine. Now there is something urgent that I need to tell you. Don't panic. I'm here to help this time too." Yours."
Xiao Baimao wanted to say something more. After hearing this, he frowned and asked: "Master Yuanchu, are the wild boar people chasing us again? When we parted last time, a group of wild boar people were also following behind us. , but then he inexplicably failed to follow us, and we were in constant fear for several days.”
I shook my head and began to tell them a series of things that happened to me after we broke up. Of course, I hid some of the disgraceful things such as the time I was poisoned and trained. Finally, I told them about the altar incident, including the accidental break-in. , the wild boars disappeared, and the personal situations of those in the altar were briefly told to them.
Of course, I didn’t tell them about the things enshrined in the altar or about my mission.
After hearing this, all the people were shocked and started to get restless. On one side, I ordered everyone to pack their things and prepare to evacuate. On the other side, I called Little Baimao to the simple thatched house where there was no one around.
"The purpose of my coming this time is not only to tell you about this matter, I also have my own things to do. I need you to call all the people in the tribe who can fight to help me complete this matter." I solemnly said The person said, "Of course, I won't let you get involved in this matter. You only need to evacuate those with limited mobility first and stay away from the altar. The remaining able-bodied people will set up traps. Once they can fight with the people who are following, You just run in a different direction from the old and young people and gather at an agreed upon place."
After hearing this, Xiao Baimao nodded seriously, "Our lives were all saved by Master Yuanchu. It's time for us to repay our kindness. I'll call them over right away"!
After saying that, he walked out the door. When I heard these words, I had mixed feelings in my heart. Although this plan had been considered a lot, it would inevitably put the remaining men and horses in danger, so I asked them to retreat immediately if they faced a confrontation. I don't know the strength of the altar's sacrifices, so I can't let them take the risk of fighting the priests.
I mentally calculated every step and risk of the plan, trying to make it as error-free as possible.
Several female centaur warriors came in at the door. They all held simple bows and arrows in their hands and carried quivers on their backs. They even had many scars on their bodies, but their eyes were sharp and firm.
I hope they make it through the night okay. After briefly explaining the situation, we started planning and setting up.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and I rushed out of the thatched cottage, only to find Liuliu.
"Master, we found the guards lying around and killed one of them, but one of them still ran away."
Liu said anxiously. Things were getting more and more anxious.
I originally planned to make careful arrangements and then wait for work, but now that Liu Liu's whereabouts have been exposed, I'm afraid there will be more people coming from the altar.
Liuliu and I, together with these female warriors, may be in trouble.
While urging the young and old people to move, I asked the young people to lay traps.
At present, the weapons in our hands are very limited, and we can only rely on traps and sneak attacks to win. I asked Liuyou to assign a human-headed spider to go back to the cliff where he came from, and obey my orders to put back the thin guard who was knocked unconscious before timely.
Yoyo shook her head to express confusion, but now I have no time to explain.
Watching the human-headed spider go away, the men and horses were also preparing traps and polishing weapons.
The evacuating footprints of the young and old people had been covered up, so I repeated my old trick and used deceptive footprints to lead in another direction.
I called Little Bai Mao over and told her the next plan, "You are all good at archery, but soon they will rush up and want to fight with you. You must evacuate quickly and don't be reluctant to fight."
"My lord in the early Yuan Dynasty, we can fight for you to the end." Xiao Baimao looked at death with a look on his face.
"You are all my friends. You must live well. Remember not to hesitate and retreat immediately if something changes."
After saying that, I turned around and took Liuyou and the other human-headed spiders into the dense forest, planning to meet them for a while first.
Following the footsteps of the guard who had just been let go, I approached the altar again, climbed up a tall tree and looked down, and what I saw this time was the other side of the altar.
There are four large blood-red stone pillars standing around. The surface has turned black because of the many years of wind and rain.
The stone pillars are carved with strange patterns. If you look carefully, the mottled lines and blood are intertwined, just like human blood vessels.
At this moment, the altar has begun to become agitated. Since the surviving guard came back to report the news, the altar now believes that the Centaur Tribe will not give up and will definitely send more people.
This might be my chance to sneak into the altar...
But then I thought again... No! ! We can't let Xiao Baimao and the others take this risk!
I shook my head vigorously, getting rid of the thought just now. Watching the people at the altar coming in and out, all with weapons in their hands, I couldn't help but feel nervous about the battle that was to come. Suddenly, two people appeared in the crowd, standing out of place with the guards around them.
They did not have the same spear weapons as the others, but a jade weapon. Wearing dark red robes and hoods, they walked in front of the guards below.
If the guess is correct, this should be the sacrifice on the altar. The guards seemed to follow these two men, standing neatly and respectfully, waiting for the priest to give orders.
What the priest did next surprised me. One of them took off his hood, revealing his horned head.
Seeing this, the surrounding guards also took off their hoods. They also had horns, each with different lengths. They are actually the same as centaurs, horses, and wild boars, not real humans.
I once suspected that these people were related to Chi You. But after careful observation, it was found that the horns on these people's heads were more like sheep's horns, while Chi You's were like cow's horns.
Could it be that they are Chi You's long-lost distant relatives?
After the people at the altar below tidied up, they began to walk neatly in the direction of Xiao Baimao and the others. I opened my eyes wide and counted them carefully. There were more than 20 people, and they all looked mighty.
This means that there are more than 10 people guarding the altar, including 4 priests.
The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means you will be victorious in every battle. I need to test the strength of the rumored priest, otherwise I might be looking for death if I go straight to the altar now.
On the way here, Liuyou and I had already set up some spider traps, which were composed of spider silk and spider venom. Try to consume as much of their vitality as possible before they discover Little White Hair and the others.
The human-headed spider and I detoured from far away in the dense forest and rushed to the first trap to lie in wait, waiting for the prey to take the bait. In order to hide their presence, Liu Liu and the others lurked far away, while I hid in a dense tree. Be sure to hit them hard in the first sneak attack!
After a while, I heard their approaching footsteps and voices. I stared at the two guards at the front of the row, approaching the trap step by step.
With two screams of "Ah", one guard slipped and stepped into the pit dug for the trap. The pit was filled with spider venom, which immediately corroded the guard's left leg beyond recognition. The other guard stepped on it. Spider silk on the ground, hanging upside down from the tree bound by its feet.
At the same time, the human-headed spiders lurking nearby sprayed venom and spider silk at the gathering place. The crowd was in chaos, screams occurred one after another, and three people fell to the ground unable to move.
At this time, the two priests hid under the big tree where I was hiding. They began to chant words. As they chanted, the leaves on the tree next to the human-headed spiders began to fly.
Listening to this somewhat familiar bird song, I suddenly felt bad. I felt that the blades of the leaves had begun to appear. The human-headed spiders may have never seen this spell. Once the two priests started casting the spell, they would be unable to avoid it in the depths of the dense forest. Can be avoided.
I was condescending, pulled out my dagger, jumped down, and wanted to kill a priest with a sneak attack from behind. However, a spear was shot straight at me from a distance. If I fell further, I would undoubtedly be pierced by this spear!
I inserted the dagger into the tree trunk to stop myself, and the spear immediately penetrated deeply into the tree trunk under my crotch, making a buzzing sound.
There was a chill in my crotch, and I couldn't help but feel shocked. I had lost the opportunity to attack the priests by surprise. Some of these guards were quite powerful, and many of them had already pounced on the human-headed spiders outside.
In order to preserve my strength, I called to Yoyo to retreat quickly and escape from the priest's spell range.
Using the spear on my feet, I jumped behind the big tree next to me and started chanting incantations. The ground beneath my feet shook, and the ground beneath the feet of the priests and guards began to fall apart.
Obviously, these people did not expect that there would be someone who could also cast spells. The guards stopped their pursuit, looking for a foothold under their feet, while guarding against the coming danger.
The two priests have jumped to the tree and began to search for the person who cast the spell.
And taking advantage of this moment, all the human-headed spiders escaped and retreated. And I also hid my body shape and breath, not daring to move rashly.
