281: Chapter 159: Blood and Flesh Wall, The Leader Hasn’t Broken Through Yet?
The hundred-meter-thick wooden walls, arranged in a slanted cross pattern, began to collapse like a withered tree.
As the wooden walls began to collapse, the emotions of the Cold Beasts seemed to surge as well.
They let out several roars and charged violently towards the wooden houses on the east side.
“Shoot arrows, faster, don’t stop.
Aim for the Demon Sheep first, don’t let them continue to destroy the wooden walls.”
Xia Chuan shifted targets, aiming at the leading Demon Sheep.
The Iron Arrows shot through the air.
Although they hit the Demon Sheep, most of them struck their backs, and a few were even deflected by their sharp horns.
These Cold Beasts are no fools.
Except for the first Snow Mane that was shot down easily, the subsequent Cold Beasts charged with their heads down, not giving a single opportunity.
Originally standing on the third floor, overlooking everything, Xia Chuan and the others were now dumbfounded by the intelligence of these Cold Beasts.
From a high position, indeed, one can see far and shoot far.
But hitting the vital parts of these Cold Beasts is difficult.
The Demon Sheep’s back golden eye must be opened to be the fatal point;
The Snow Mane’s fatal points are only the eyes and abdomen.
These two positions are impossible to hit from a high vantage point.
The more than hundred-meter wooden walls, in a matter of moments, collapsed completely, leaving the front row of Snow Manes and Demon Sheep only twenty or thirty meters from the west wall of the wooden house.
The first Snow Mane to arrive, not knowing if it was too smug or sending signals to its kind, suddenly roared at the sky.
In that moment of looking up, two swift Iron Arrows each carried a white beam, piercing straight through its eyes.
The Snow Mane howled in pain as its eyes were pierced.
Its ferocity surged, lowering its head, charging madly at the wooden house wall.
Unfortunately, it only charged two or three meters before its limbs gave way, slipping and falling to the ground.
The blinded Snow Mane seemed to detect something terrifying, struggling on the ground, trying to stand up, but no matter what, it couldn’t.
The sudden change in the Snow Mane left others momentarily stunned.
Getting its eyes shot out is indeed fatal.
But with the Snow Mane’s vitality, even if it were to die, it wouldn’t be this quick.
Moreover, the Snow Mane’s reaction clearly wasn’t a near-death one, just a sudden weakness in its limbs.
The next scene left everyone more baffled.
The Cold Beasts trying to charge the wooden house wall, be it the Snow Manes or Demon Sheep, began slipping as they neared the wall, then went weak on the ground.
In an instant, a dozen Cold Beasts were floundering at the wooden house entrance, trying to stand, but no matter what they did, it was impossible.
“It’s the Teng Jiao Poison, it’s the Teng Jiao Poison!
The wooden wall is lined with Intermediate Teng Jiao Skin.
They got stained when they crashed into it!”
As Shi Ping spoke, everyone immediately reacted, and those who helped line the Teng Jiao Skin realized it after the fact.
In a flash, everyone looked at Xia Chuan, their eyes filled with admiration.
Xia Chuan wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to the others.
Seeing so many Cold Beasts hit at the front of the wooden house, a fleeting joy flashed in his eyes, and he immediately turned to call Zhao Long.
Zhao Long nodded, retrieving a pure white sphere from his chest, attaching it to an Iron Arrow, igniting it with flame, and shooting it directly into the distant cluster of Cold Beasts.
The instant the white sphere ignited, it spewed thick white smoke, and as it exploded in the midst of the Cold Beasts, it erupted into an enormous white fog, encompassing the entire valley in less than ten breaths.
Before the white fog spread, Xia Chuan had already taken a Detoxification Pill and swallowed it.
Without his reminder, when others saw the white sphere, they had already taken theirs in advance.
“Yes, the poison sacs of Low-level Teng Jiao should also have a considerable effect on these Cold Beasts.
Lord Xia Chuan is truly brilliant!”
In the crowd, Hong Mu, who was shooting arrows, turned to look at Xia Chuan at the forefront, his eyes filled with even more admiration.
Come to think of it, he was two years older than Xia Chuan.
The wooden wall, the Intermediate Teng Jiao Skin, the Low-level Teng Jiao poison sacs, including the early mining and forging, the reinforcement of the wooden house, and a whole series of preparations.
Not to mention doing it, he wouldn’t even have thought of it.
Facing this mountain-like storm of Cold Beasts, anyone else would despair, but under Xia Chuan’s step-by-step strategy, a strange sense of hope was kindled within him.
Maybe it can really be stopped?
Hong Mu wasn’t the only one thinking this; the others were as well.
From the Cold Beasts breaking through the valley entrance till now, seven or eight minutes have passed.
Hundreds of Cold Beasts around the wooden house still haven’t reached its side.
Maybe it really can be stopped!
The idea is vast, but reality is often harsh.
The hope that just rose in everyone’s hearts was snuffed out by the intense tremors underfoot.
“It’s the Teng Jiao at the back!”
Feeling the tremors coming from the east side of the wooden house, Xia Chuan immediately reacted.
It was the Teng Jiao that had just come down from the crossed path over the valley now starting to strike the wooden house from behind.
“Where are Luo Yuan’s people?”
Xia Chuan turned his head, finding only five or six people left in the shadow inside the wooden house, and immediately voiced his inquiry.
