Chapter 274: Confrontation
Fortunately, this is an eagle, if you are a man, attack your exposed neck and temples, where is your life? Young Qingyun thought so, but saw that those eagles really wanted to use sharp claws to grab the necks of these two people. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Young Qingyun was secretly surprised, and without thinking much about it, the sword and the hidden weapon were strange, and the two eagles were cut down, and the two of them stood up to fight.
The two had just removed the arm that was blocking their faces, when they saw a huge figure coming overwhelmingly, and they screamed in surprise and squatted back at the same time. Lying on the ground shivering, he didn't dare to make a sound.
This time, not only the two of them, but also those who had cut down the eagles one by one, let out a terrifying cry. Nian Qingyun didn't need to look up, he could feel a gust of fishy wind coming over the world, and an eagle claw had already grabbed the back of his neck.
Nian Qingyun was just about to turn around to resist, only to hear the scream of the eagle "Ga" behind him, Nian Qingyun turned around and saw that it was the apprentice Wei Rong, holding a long knife in his hand, and splitting the eagle that was more than one person tall into half. The black feathers of the eagle owl are like scattered flowers of the goddess, and together with the blood of the eagle, splashing everywhere.
The smell of blood in the forest also spread, attracting more eagles to fly here, and everyone finally saw clearly, the large and small eagles in the sky continued to rush to this side as if someone was leading the way. Needless to say, this is a flock of eagles domesticated by humans, but I don't know how to train these birds of prey as tall as a person to be so obedient, and I don't know how to control them.
In the continuous sound of eagle chirping, there was a "rustling" sound on the trees and the ground.
"Snake!"
A wave of fear surged in Nian Qingyun's heart, these natives were so terrifying that they could actually train eagles and snakes to fight at the same time. Aren't they natural predators?
"Withdraw! Be vigilant! ”
The twenty people were almost well-trained, they didn't panic, they kept the formation and the back team changed to the front team, and Young Qingyun and Wei Rong remained vigilant at the rear.
It's not that Young Qingyun has to take the lead, but there are twenty people here, only Young Qingyun has this kind of life experience in the primeval forest, and only he and Wei Rong have that kind of hidden weapon among these twenty people. The two of them had hidden weapons frequently, and this kind of flying needle was impossible to prevent, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen eagles and snakes were nailed and disappeared.
These eagles and snakes still chased after them relentlessly, as if they were spiritual, bypassing the most lethal young Yunyun and Wei Rong, and chasing and killing the soldiers in front. scared the two people who were scared before to the point that their legs were weak, and they had to be carried by people to run forward, which tired the speed of a group of people.
Wei Rong was impatient, rushed over and grabbed one with one hand, ignoring the wailing of the two, and threw one into each of the places where the eagles and snakes were dense.
The two were already wounded, and there was blood on their bodies, and most of the eagles and snakes stagnated and pounced on them. In a wail, the two of them fell in a pool of blood, which became the rations of these animals.
The rest of the people didn't care to sympathize with these two men, and they all drew their swords, slashed and slashed the remaining eagles and snakes, which were still unrelenting, and withdrew from this dense forest.
After questioning the locals, they learned that this training of birds and reptiles as weapons has been going on for a long time. The sorcerers of the seventy-two tribes of the temple are many of them who know how to tame beasts, eagles and snakes are the least terrible things, and the most terrifying are the pervasive flying ants.
It seems that either the native wizard they encountered is located on the periphery of the seventy-two tribes and has no ability to control the flying ants, or the other party does not want to kill them, this is just a warning to the invaders.
With this battle, Nian Qingyun no longer wanted to fight with this group of natives in this primeval dense forest with complex terrain, and he didn't dare to let the natives who had just surrendered to join the army for the time being. These people's worship of the saint is from the bottom of their bones, and no one knows if they will defect.
What's more, the closer the tribe is to the temple, the stronger it must be. These natives who have surrendered to Cheng may not be able to deal with the tribal wizards in front of them, who are all soldiers of birds and reptiles.
All this, Wang Rongchang naturally had to send someone to report to Li Chengyu on the new island.
Li Chengyu coincided with Nian Qingyun, and ordered the army to set up camp on the edge of the naturalized area, dig trenches, and transport a large number of bow carts to the front line, ready to use a dense array of arrows to deal with any birds of prey that appeared in the sky.
You must know that today's Pearl Island, although it is still not within the scope of the imperial court's taxes, has long been reported to Lingnan, and since it is a good citizen who pays taxes in the territory, of course it must be protected by a way.
The southern tip of Pearl Island is different, these natives occupy the vast forest, but they will not give anything to Lingnan! How can Lee Seung-woo, who has already seen the benefits from the northern tip of Pearl Island, endure it? You must know that Li Chengyu, who is ambitious and a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, needs money everywhere!
Therefore, as soon as he heard that Wei Youqing was back, Li Chengyu immediately ordered Mi Li'er to take Wei Youqing back to Xindao. According to Li Chengyu's thoughts, the power of the saint and the priest is one and the other in the south of Pearl Island, although she is still a child, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will use the child to "coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes".
In the square in front of the temple, the annual sacrificial ceremony is about to begin. The square was filled with the leaders and wizards of the seventy-two tribes, and unlike in previous years, due to the rapid advance of the army at the northern end, almost all the outer tribes in the north that were far away from the temple had been converted into carp settlements.
The atmosphere before the temple became strange because of this. Many northern tribes arrived at the temple to wait for the holy woman's decree, until today, not to mention the holy woman, even the real power to speak has not shown their heads, these people's patience has reached the extreme, if it weren't for their own subordinates all running away with the northerners, they had to clamp their tails and be people, I'm afraid this time would have been a big trouble.
Wei Youqing and Mi Li'er and his entourage also came to Pearl Island again, Wei Youqing is bound to come, the annual sacrificial ceremony, as usual, must be presided over by the priest, but the saint does not have to show up every year, in fact, the saint only needs to come out once at the age of fifteen coming-of-age ceremony, and the rest of the time, the saint's orders are carried out through the eldest man.
Of course, if the saint thinks that the eldest male or priest is not enough to take on the important duties, she can show up.
The priest represents the will of God, and if he has enough evidence that the will of God is not on the side of the saint, the saint will also step down. It's just that this kind of thing hasn't happened.
In fact, when Shangyang Zhenren did not come to Pearl Island, there were no priests on Pearl Island. In the decades after the priesthood, from the first saint to the present saint, a total of three saints were produced.
The first saint is the priest's woman, the second is the priest's daughter, and the third saint is the flower cherish.
That is to say, except for Nuhan, who is a special eldest man, the other two holy women's men are both eldest men and priests.
