Chapter 397 Snow Disaster
The mountain roads were rugged and difficult to navigate, and the hillsides were mostly covered with layers of snow whose thickness was unclear, which caused many obstacles to the pursuit of the Sword Tribe Alliance.
Fortunately, despite the strong wind and snow, they had not been lost. The Sword Tribe Alliance had been biting the enemy's tail and moving forward with difficulty.
It was not until they were suddenly attacked by two thousand old men who were ambushed here in a col that the Sword Tribe Alliance, which suffered heavy losses, decided to change the pursuit method.
"Let the Spirit Snow Ape Tribe explore the way on the hillside and take a shortcut to stop them."
The leader of the Sword Tribe glanced around the surrounding environment, and finally pointed to the hillside on one side and said.
The witch of the Spirit Fox Tribe looked over and saw that it was not a very steep place. With the Spirit Snow Ape Tribe's ability to climb in the snow, it would not be a problem to explore.
"If they go alone, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop them."
The witch of the Spirit Fox Tribe expressed her concerns. With the fighting power of the Four-Corner Cavalry, the Spirit Snow Ape Tribe might not be their match.
"The Spirit Monkey Tribe and the Spirit Horse Tribe are behind them,"
said the leader of the Sword Tribe.
The witch of the Spirit Fox Tribe thought for a moment, stepped forward and whispered, "The Spirit Monkey Tribe is fine, but the Spirit Horse Tribe
has always been undisciplined. Let them..." "Let them go, and tell them that I said so. It's okay if they don't dare to face the Four-Corner Cavalry head-on, but at least they can stop them."
It can be seen that the leader of the Sword Tribe has been accumulating dissatisfaction with the Spirit Horse Tribe for a long time.
In the end, the witch of the Spirit Fox Tribe still failed to persuade the leader of the Sword Tribe. The Spirit Snow Ape Tribe led the way, and the Spirit Monkey Tribe and the Spirit Horse Tribe followed closely behind, starting to climb up through the not-so-steep slope.
Diwu Xuan's team was in the front, looking down from a high position. Naturally, they could see the changes in the Sword Tribe Alliance, but he only urged the team to speed up, but did not immediately issue any orders.
"Baxia, rush to the top of the mountain in front and take a look at the terrain on the other side of the mountain."
Baxia ran at full speed, and Diwu Xuan temporarily left the team to explore the way forward.
When Diwu Xuan moved forward, the Xingchen Tribe and Chun Tribe began to select the elders for the second time during their progress. This was arranged by Diwu Xuan.
In order for more people to survive, it is necessary for the gecko to cut off its tail.
When they arrived at the top of the mountain, they saw a rather steep slope at first glance. The slope spread out for a long time, as if plunging into a valley.
"Let's go along the ridge. We can't escape if we go down from here."
Ritu Teng said, looking at the long slope.
Diwu Xuan frowned and looked at the ridge.
The ridge was quite long and the path was narrow. If they took this path, they might not be able to win even if the enemy attacked from the slope. The enemies chasing behind would be trapped by the terrain, and their huge numerical advantage would be suppressed by the terrain.
Ritu Teng's method was very sophisticated and it was a good choice, but Diwu Xuan still shook his head.
"Baxia, go see how thick the snow is on the slope."
Diwu Xuan said, looking at the winding slope.
Baxia took a few steps down the mountain, and his body almost sank into the thick white snow. He waded down a few more steps, and his feet were quite slippery, and he almost stepped into the air.
"Ang."
Baxia shouted violently, and his pillar-like feet stomped hard on the ground, and the mountain seemed to be shaking.
Diwu Xuan was in the eight-part space, looking down from above, and found that the snow was shaking slightly, with a tendency to slide down.
Seeing this scene, his eyes lit up, and he ordered Ba Xia to return, and not to howl or trample hard.
Arriving at the top of the mountain, Ba Xia quickly returned to the team, and at this time, the Xingchen Tribe and the Chun Tribe had already selected more than 3,000 old men - many of whom were warriors with good combat power but older.
Diwu Xuan did not select these warriors, but let them join the death squad, and directly sent them down the slope to the area to rush up the Spirit Snow Ape Tribe warriors and the Spirit Monkey Tribe and Spirit Horse Tribe warriors.
There was not even time to say goodbye, and the 3,000 old warriors rushed down without hesitation, and the teams of the Xingchen Tribe and the Chun Tribe accelerated again.
The Mi tribe, which had had enough rest, let Diwu Xuan stay in the rear to resist the warriors of the Sword Tribe Alliance who kept trying to advance.
"Fire Totem, what should we do next?"
The leader of the Star Tribe asked with a worried look on his face, looking at the slopes on both sides.
He didn't expect that the slope behind the mountain was steeper and longer than the one in front. Such a path was not suitable for escape. If one was not careful in getting stuck in the thick snow, he would be easily chased by the enemies behind.
"Go down."
Diwu Xuan ordered.
He looked at Ba Xia in surprise - he thought that this was looking at Diwu Xuan - but the words on the thick mist remained unchanged, and the Fire Tribe warriors still translated these two words.
"Go down."
Without Diwu Xuan's urging, the Star Tribe witch spoke with pain.
The leader of the Star Tribe sighed helplessly and was about to lead the warriors down the mountain, but the warrior of the Fire Tribe stopped him.
"Follow me."
A warrior of the Fire Tribe stepped forward and took off his animal skin clothes and laid them on the ground.
The animal skin clothes were quite thick, and the warrior did not sink into the snow after sitting on them. He rolled up a part of the animal skin and held it in his hand. The warrior of the Fire Tribe behind him pushed him, and his body slid down quickly. The
warrior who pushed him away looked at the leader of the Star Tribe: "This is fast, even if you can't control it well, don't be afraid. This is snow, it's hard to get hurt."
The leader of the Star Tribe nodded and immediately took off his outer linen clothes, revealing the animal skin clothes inside.
Only then did Diwu Xuan notice their attire, but this was obviously not the time to study it in detail. Diwu Xuan began to pay attention to the situation of the rear troops.
The warriors of the Mi tribe could not fight for a long time, so they took turns to defend. At this time, fighting and retreating were not a problem.
The three thousand old warriors were not good at fighting, but relying on the terrain and their determination to fight to the death, they fought well and blocked the enemies coming up the slope.
Neither battlefield collapsed, so there was still time. Diwu Xuan began to carefully observe the terrain.
When he found a place that satisfied him, many warriors of the Star Tribe had already started to slide down in their animal skins, which made the speed much faster.
Diwu Xuan called three warriors and gave them a few instructions. Then they rode their ghost wolves and ran along the ridge. When they reached a far enough place, they roared and started running back the way they came.
He sent warriors to contact Zhuo behind him. Diwu Xuan sent three more warriors to dig snow in the place he liked. After digging a deep enough pit, he called the witches and leaders of the Star Tribe, Spring Tribe, and Mi Tribe.
"Go down, don't look back, go to the hillside in front and wait, line up and prepare for a counterattack."
The order was simple, but it made everyone confused.
Counterattack? What to rely on for counterattack?
"The reinforcements from the Fire Tribe have arrived."
Diwu Xuan gave such an answer, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, with excited expressions on their faces.
If they knew that there were only a thousand reinforcements, I don't know what their expressions would be in the end.
But they didn't know this, so they excitedly told everyone the news. This heart-strengthening drug made everyone see hope, and they were faster and more powerful in action.
Seeing that everything had been arranged, Diwu Xuan asked Ba Xia to walk into the deep pit, and asked the Fire Tribe warriors to bury Ba Xia and himself in it, and sprinkle snow on it.
These warriors finally left with the Star Tribe. The mountaintop gradually became quiet, with only the sound of shouting and killing from the other side of the mountain. It was the last cry of the old man who was going to die.
The sound of fighting became smaller and smaller. Diwu Xuan quietly hid in the snow and listened to the sounds outside. Soon, there were noisy footsteps and voices. The Sword Tribe Alliance had already reached the top of the mountain.
"They are so fast..."
"How did that person slide on the snow?"
"Is it the method of the Fire Tribe?"
The voice of the Sword Tribe Alliance warrior not far from Diwu Xuan came, and Ba Xia's claws moved. Diwu Xuan hurriedly soothed him and prevented him from making any movements.
The noise from above was still there and it hadn't subsided for a long time. After a while, the sound of them walking down the mountain could be heard. It should be the leader of the Sword Tribe who ordered a pursuit.
The sound came continuously, as if there were countless people above. Diwu Xuan waited quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound from above became smaller and smaller, while the sound from below was louder. It seemed that most people had gone down the mountain.
Diwu Xuan asked Ba Xia to slowly stick his head out. He was the first to see the scenery outside. The Sword Tribe warriors had already gone down the mountain, and they were almost halfway down. Even the fastest one was almost approaching the bottom of the mountain.
The warriors of the Star Tribe, the Spring Tribe, and the Mi Tribe were also climbing up the hillside that Diwu Xuan pointed to, but their speed was not fast, and they kept looking back from time to time.
"Baxia, start running to the northwest from here, step on all the snowflakes, roar, roar hard."
Diwu Xuan immediately ordered Baxia to take action. After confirming Baxia's work, Diwu Xuan ordered the totems to release their power, but not to use the hot totem fire, but to use the totem power to push the snow down.
He borrowed the power of the wind totem column to blow the snow around him and make it roll down.
"He..."
Baxia first raised his head and roared loudly. This was a place similar to a valley. The sound echoed between several mountains. The snowflakes were shaken by the sound and trembled.
"Keep running."
Diwu Xuan ordered Baxia while controlling the power of the wind totem column to blow the snowflakes.
"Boom boom..."
Ba Xia started running, his big feet hitting the ground hard every time, and the snowflakes around him rolled down under his feet.
The leader of the Sword Tribe and the witch of the Fox Tribe turned around in surprise and saw the Fire Totem going crazy.
At first they didn't understand what the Fire Totem was doing, but when the Fire Totem ran over and ran back, more and more snow slid down the slope, and they understood something.
"Snow... snow disaster..."
The witch of the Fox Tribe shouted and rushed down first.
The warriors in the Sword Tribe Alliance have also lived in the Ice Age for decades, how could they not know about the snow disaster.
When the snowflakes rolled down from the top of the mountain, the majestic momentum was simply not something that could be stopped by human power.
Thinking of this horrific scene, the warriors began to flee frantically, but it was too late to run now.
Snowflakes had already rolled down the mountain where Baxia had stepped, and more and more snowflakes joined in, rolling down like a torrent.
If it were just snowflakes, it would be fine, but if there were some gravel mixed in, it would be a real fatal injury.
"Boom boom..."
The whole valley echoed with the terrifying sound, an avalanche, a snowstorm came.
