Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 199 The Beast Under the Night ([-])

In this wave, Zhou Zhongshan can be said to have pulled a lot of hatred.

It's just that such a hungry and irritable beast, its hatred is not so easy to pull!
Facing the saber-toothed tiger that was culling towards him, Zhou Zhongshan basically had no room to bend his bow and set up an arrow. He immediately abandoned the bow and arrow to reduce the weight on his body, and avoided it.

However, due to the fact that the snowy ground is really slippery, Zhou Zhongshan's whole movements are extremely awkward.

Li Ce knew something was wrong when he saw it, so he immediately grabbed the crescent halberd and swept the saber-toothed tiger with a blow, forcing it to dodge and save Zhou Chongshan who was under attack.

Facing a target like a saber-toothed tiger, the crescent halberd, which has a longer attack distance, is undoubtedly a more suitable choice than a war knife.

During this period, while Zhou Xu mobilized the skeleton soldiers to look for opportunities to continue the siege, he also gave orders loudly...

"Fire! This beast should be afraid of fire, wrap the torch around the weapon and attack!"

Beasts are afraid of fire, which can be regarded as an instinct deep in their genes.

It was late at night, and many villagers and soldiers held torches in their hands for lighting.

Now that they received Zhou Xu's order, they also acted quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the crescent halberds with torches wrapped around them were quickly waved. While adding deterrence to their attacks, they could also illuminate the battlefield along the way, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

However, facing the combination of the torch and the crescent halberd, the performance of the saber-toothed tiger was not as embarrassing as they expected.

Zhou Xu could tell that the saber-toothed tiger was indeed somewhat afraid of the fire, but it was far from being afraid.

"The zip line is coming!"

Amidst the shouts, everyone took the zip line and threw it towards the saber-toothed tiger.

But this saber-toothed tiger is very agile, coupled with its swift action, it is really not so easy for the zip line to entangle it.

A round of ziplines was thrown out, only one of which was entangled with one of its hind legs, but it didn't have much impact on it at all.

At this moment, I don't know if it was driven into a hurry, the saber-toothed tiger roared angrily and started culling again.

Driven by the explosive power, the attack was extremely swift and violent. The villager who was locked at that time didn't even have time to react, and was thrown to the ground by the saber-toothed tiger.

This pounce was not just as simple as crushing him, the huge impact of force caused his internal organs to be squeezed crazily, and some spray came out of his mouth and nose, directly killing half of his life.

Amid the screams, led by Zhou Zhongshan, the soldiers rushed up holding the crescent halberd, trying to force the saber-toothed tiger back and save the villager.

However, the movement of the saber-toothed tiger is faster.

It opened its bloody mouth wide, and with the screams, it completely killed the villager!

Looking at it later, it seemed that they still wanted to take the corpse away, but the soldiers came very quickly, waving their crescent halberds and forcefully forced it back, forcing the saber-toothed tiger to put down the corpse.

At this moment, Zhou Zhongshan and the others were all furious.

However, as a nocturnal ferocious beast, the saber-toothed tiger was still its home field after all.

On the other hand, even though they had torches to illuminate them, they still couldn't change the influence of night on their vision and actions. At the same time, no matter which one, they lacked the strength to face the saber-toothed tiger head-on.

This, to a large extent, caused the saber-toothed tiger to run rampant in their village, and within a short while, there was one death and one injury.

This situation made Zhou Xu's face so gloomy that it was about to drip water, and at the same time, he couldn't help but urge him.

"Haven't you come yet?!"

As soon as the words were asked, the panting voices of Zhang Xiaoshan and Li Shitou, Zhou Xu's two followers, came from the village.

"Come, come, come!"

The two ran while shouting, and through the faint light of the fire, they could vaguely see Zhang Xiaoshan running in front, carrying something on his shoulders, while Li Shitou was following behind, responsible for supporting the thing.

That stuff was so heavy that the two of them were so tired that they almost couldn't breathe.

Seeing that they had brought the things over, Zhou Xu quickly directed two hyena men to take them over.

Then without saying a word, he threw it in the direction of the saber-toothed tiger!
At that moment, the saber-toothed tiger thought it was being attacked, its huge body bounced off the ground, and jumped aside.

During this period, a trace of smell penetrated its nose, making its eyes subconsciously sweep over.

At this moment, what caught its eyes was a raw horse leg that had been skinned!
How could the sabre-toothed tiger, who had been starving for a long time, resist such a temptation?He rushed over quickly, bit it in his mouth, and then looked at Zhou Xu and the others with vigilance.

During this process, the villagers and soldiers who hadn't reacted, their first reaction was to go up with the crescent halberd, but they were stopped by Zhou Xu and Li Ce at the same time.

"Don't do anything!"

Li Ce's sudden utterance caught Zhou Xu by surprise.

Needless to say, Li Ce should have already guessed his intention.

"Keep a distance from this saber-toothed tiger and let it go!"

From Zhou Xu's point of view, the saber-toothed tiger came to attack their camp in the middle of the night, to put it bluntly, for food.

Fighting against this ferocious nocturnal beast at night, not only would they have no advantage, but they would also suffer a great loss. Instead of doing that, they might as well give it food and let it go.

When they go back and pick another day, when they are fully prepared, they will go to this guy to settle the account in one go!
Sure enough, after biting the horse's leg in its mouth, the saber-toothed tiger's fighting spirit obviously began to fade, and its steps began to retreat.

It was clear that he had already got the food and was about to leave.

The surrounding soldiers and villagers had already received orders from their leader, so naturally they didn't intend to act rashly at this moment. They just looked at the saber-toothed tiger, biting the whole leg of the horse, and after retreating for a while, turned around and ran wildly. In the end, it completely disappeared into the night...

Seeing the back of the saber-toothed tiger leaving, Zhou Xu was greatly relieved.

"Night watch sentries and patrols continue to patrol, hurry up! Treat wounds to the wounded!"

This night was destined to be restless. After he finished his work and collapsed on the bed, he couldn't help showing a burst of pain on his face when he thought of the horse's leg that was thrown out.

The previous blizzard had already lost a lot of food. During the period, the dead cows and horses also filled part of their food reserves to a certain extent.

If there are only a few people, it must be enough for them to eat, but the problem is that there are dozens of people in their village, and there is also Chitose, a carnivore who is quite capable of cooking.

Under this premise, in order to cope with the battle that may break out at any time, they must also be well-fed and not hungry, which also leads to the lack of food in their village.

At that time, Zhou Xu saw that the situation was not good, so he asked two followers to bring a piece of meat.

In order to ensure that it can be stored at low temperature, the meat they have processed is placed outside, and it is still in large pieces, not cut into small pieces.

In addition to the urgent situation, how can Zhang Xiaoshan and the others have the energy to pick and choose?When I found a piece of meat, I immediately moved it over in a hurry.

As a result, their village lost a big leg.

But looking at this matter from another angle, this is considered good, after all, if they don't lose this horse leg, they will have to lose their lives.

In such a short time, two more villagers were killed on their side, six villagers and three soldiers were injured.
