Chapter 139 Defense
Yuan Shou returned to his own tribe. Xu Zhenfeng felt that he looked back at him several times.
After a while, Langdu came to the front of the team and whispered to Xu Zhenfeng, "After Yuan Shou returned to his tribe, Bao Yan asked him to lead the ape tribe to walk behind the leopard tribe. It seems that he was afraid that those high-level sky roar beasts would catch up, so he wanted the ape tribe and the dozen or so elephant bear monsters that were behind to block the first wave."
After finishing speaking, Langdu said disdainfully: "A dozen high-level Sky Howlers scared Bao Yan like a rabbit monster. He is also a genius from the patriarch's family. What the hell is that?"
Xu Zhenfeng did not comment. He took a look at the terrain ahead and saw a raised slope, so he ordered the team to stop.
Then, all the monsters started to cut down trees with their weapons, clearing the trees on the slope first, and then built a circular defense position around the arched slope.
All the monsters were working hard. Xiong Da and Xiang Rou'er also held weapons and cut down the big trees one by one and dragged them down the slope. The ape tribe built a simple triangular pile interception array according to the method taught by Xu Zhenfeng.
It is to insert three trees into the soil in a triangular position, tie the upper ends together with vines, and then place the tree with a sharpened end on the triangular stake with the pointed end facing outwards, and insert the tail end into the soil inside to fix it. Then stack more trees on the triangular stake to stabilize and heighten it.
In this way, there is a triangular pile every half a zhang, and trees are stacked in the middle to connect them, and the piles are two and a half zhang high.
In this way, as long as this piece of earth slope can be enclosed, it will become a simple offensive and defensive position.
With the little monkeys from the ape tribe patrolling on the treetops, Xu Zhenfeng also joined the ranks of cutting down trees.
Bao Yan and two leopard monsters stood on the slope, watching a group of monsters working hard below.
Xiong Da saw this and couldn't help but yell at him, "Bao Yan, you bastard son of a bitch! Everyone is busy setting up the position, what the hell are you doing up there?"
Bao Yan glanced at him from a distance and said coldly: "You don't have to do it."
Xiong Da was holding an incredibly large magic sword in his hand, and was so angry that he was about to rush over to fight him to the death.
Xu Zhenfeng called out to him, "Hurry up, we don't have much time."
He knew that Baoyan was unwilling to work together, and he stood on the slope to maintain a favorable position so that he could escape at any time when danger occurred.
There is no point in talking to such a monster. Instead of wasting time persuading him to join in, it is better to save some energy and build the position as soon as possible.
Xiong Da has always been convinced by Xu Zhenfeng's plans and arrangements. Seeing that he was trying to stop him, he ignored Bao Yan and concentrated on cutting down trees.
The demon tribe was powerful in itself, and with the support of demonic power, a large circle of triangular piles were quickly built around the slope.
At this moment, the squeaking sounds of little monkeys came from a distance, like a relay.
Yuan Shou immediately stopped what he was doing, ran to Xu Zhenfeng, and said to him, "There are nine high-grade Sky Howl Beasts that followed us in, and they are almost here."
"How long will it take to arrive?"
Xu Zhenfeng was still concentrating on chopping trees with the magic sword in his hand, and he asked without even raising his head.
Yuan Shou raised his head and squeaked a few times at the treetops. After a few breaths, he listened to the monkeys' answers and immediately said, "It will take at most a cup of tea. The trees in the forest are dense and the Skyhou Beasts are too big, so they can't walk very fast."
"Go back and continue to build, and let the little monkeys sound the alarm when the Skyroar Beast is fifty feet away from us."
Yuan Shou nodded, quickly returned to the foot of the slope, and kept urging the ape monsters to speed up the construction of the triangular piles.
Bao Yan could hear the conversation between Yuan Shou and Xu Zhenfeng. He looked at the defensive position which still had a small half gap and was struggling with whether to escape or not.
The earth slope had been cleared, but it was still too small to set up a few battle formations. Instead, it was more suitable for those Sky Roar Beasts to attack the demon tribe.
The leopards transformed into human form without losing speed. They were more agile than the Skyroar Beasts and were more suitable for running and hiding in the woods.
As the apes built up the triangular piles and connected them into a formation, there were still large gaps, enough for the Skyroar Beasts to rush in.
Bao Yan led the two leopard monsters out of the battlefield, came to Yuan Shou, and whispered to him: "Tell your little monkey to give the warning when the Sky Howl Beast is thirty feet away from here."
Yuan Shou suddenly raised his head and looked at him in surprise. He understood what Bao Yan wanted to do.
If the position is not set up when the Sky Roar Beast is thirty feet away from here, Bao Yan will lead the leopard monsters to escape and hide in the dense forest, allowing the slowest elephant and bear tribes to delay the Sky Roar Beast's pursuit.
Anyway, the elephant and bear tribes couldn't form their original defensive formation in this dense forest to effectively protect the main attacking monster tribe. So let them serve as meat shields to delay the Sky Roar Beast.
A cold light flashed in Baoyan's eyes, and he stared at Yuan Shou, "Quick, tell those little monkeys to do as I say."
Sarumori hesitated for a moment, but still made a squeaking sound towards the treetops.
Bao Yan stood beside Yuan Shou, looking at the dense forest behind him, and said to Yuan Shou in a low voice: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. If the defensive position is not set up well and those high-level Sky Howl Beasts come, you will follow me and escape into the forest.
You apes are not good at attacking, nor are you good at carrying heavy loads. Your speed is only slightly faster than that of the bears and elephants.
When that time comes, we can only use the elephant and bear tribes to delay the sky roar beasts, so that we can save our lives and try our best to delay until the big monster comes."
Sarumori didn't answer, but he worked faster.
But just as they had set up two or three more triangular stakes, the squeaking sounds of the little monkeys began to be heard again.
As soon as Yuan Shou heard the little monkey's cry, he immediately shouted to Xu Zhenfeng, "The Sky Howl Beast is getting closer, less than fifty feet away."
Xu Zhenfeng looked up at Yuan Shou and immediately ordered all the demons who were cutting down trees around to return to the slope.
Xiong Da and Xiang Rou'er, a demon, came running back dragging a tree as thick as two men.
The other monsters also dragged back any trees that had already been cut down.
Everyone worked together to pile all the trees on both sides of the defense formation that had not yet been closed.
Even so, there was still a gap of more than ten feet in this position.
Bao Yan looked at this gap which was neither big nor small and felt a bit troubled. This gap was big enough for two Skyroar beasts to rush in side by side.
But if the elephant and bear tribes can desperately block this gap, more than a hundred meat shield monsters can slowly consume them and delay the attack for a long time, maybe they can even kill a few Sky Roar Beasts.
Xu Zhenfeng has already started giving orders, asking the elephants to form groups of three and recover their original positions to plug the gaps.
The bear tribe also consists of three people, assisting on both sides of the gap. Once an elephant monster is injured and cannot hold on, the bear tribe will immediately fill in and delay time so that the next group of elephant monsters can take over.
Bao Yan stood outside the position, watching Xu Zhenfeng's arrangements, feeling extremely conflicted.
He could even hear the sounds of the Skyroar beasts crashing into trees and trampling on broken branches.
Xiang Rouer and the two elephant monsters have returned to their original forms.
Xu Zhenfeng frowned and looked at Bao Yan, "Do you want to come in?"
Leopard Yan glanced in the direction where the Skyroar beasts were chasing, gritted his teeth, and took the two leopard monsters back to the position.
Xiang Rou'er and the two elephant monsters formed a triangle, standing a little inside the gap in the position. They were fully armored and ready for battle.
In front of the gap, a small open space was cut out, and at this time, a Skyroar Beast had already rushed to the open space.
Although this is an open space, the tree stumps left after felling are densely scattered with high and low heights.
It is actually not as convenient as walking in the dense forest.
Xu Zhenfeng also returned to his wolf form, standing on the back of an elephant monster, looking down at the Skyroar Beast in the open space.
One by one, the Sky Roar Beasts came here. There were nine tiger-shaped Sky Roar Beasts, each of which was above the third grade of Earth Rank, with the highest being the sixth grade of Earth Rank.
These Skyroar Beasts are also led by the highest-grade Skyroar Beast.
It led the other Skyroar beasts to the gap in the position, raised its head and looked around, and saw the defensive formation on the slope.
Then he turned his head to look at the elephant monster that was blocking the gap, and Xu Zhenfeng on the elephant monster's back.
Xu Zhenfeng's face was serious. He ordered the apes to climb up the triangular stakes on both sides of the gap, ready to assist the wolf and leopard tribes in their attacks when the Skyroar beasts attacked the gap.
Bao Yan returned to the defensive formation and immediately asked several leopard monsters with the highest cultivation to form an attack team with him. The other leopard monsters were divided into several groups. Since they stayed, they had to do their best to defend.
The Skyroar Beasts did not observe for too long. After just a dozen breaths, three of them rushed towards the gap.
Xu Zhenfeng was hunched over, with Langdu and Langfu on his left and right.
The three wolf monsters were standing on the elephant monster's back, ready to swoop down and attack at any time.
The two Skyroar beasts rushed to the gap, stood up at the same time, and opened their mouths wide to bite towards the faces of the elephant monsters.
Xu Zhenfeng also swooped down and bit the Skyroar Beast's head.
The elephant monsters tried their best to hide their noses downwards. Facing such high-quality Sky Roar Beasts, their noses were no longer a defensive aid, but a soft spot that was easily bitten.
