The night was getting darker and colder.
In this cold night, a life-and-death battle was going on.
On one side of the battle was an army of skeletons, which was like the malice of the whole black forest, endless; on the other side of the battle was a group of villagers who had settled in this black forest and were doing their best to protect their homes and lives.
The process of the battle was a bit boring and monotonous. The skeletons rushed up one after another, trying to destroy the wooden fence around the village, while the villagers used burning sticks to go out through the gaps in the fence, beating and burning the nearby skeletons, using the flames to disperse the magic on them, turning them into temporarily harmless bones.
From Sui Xiong's side, he could see the black tide constantly surging, rushing to the village wrapped in the wooden fence, and then being blocked by the red flames, constantly rising and falling. Every time it rose and fell, one or several skeletons would become bones, scattered on the ground, and a small gap would appear. Then the follow-up skeletons would immediately follow up, fill the gap, and continue to attack.
This was a simple and repetitive process. At first glance, the villagers' defense seemed to be impeccable. No matter how many skeletons came, they could only be blocked outside the wooden fence, and when the sun rose, they all rolled back to the ground. But Sui Xiong knew that the balance of victory had completely tilted, and the villagers' defeat was imminent.
The reason was simple: they were tired.
Every attack they made needed to push back the skeletons that rushed to the fence. Only in this way could they avoid the skeletons' attack on the fence. And the strength of the skeletons was not weak. Every time they pushed them away, it took a lot of effort. From the time the army of skeletons came to the fence, the villagers had probably pushed it hundreds of times.
Hundreds of times did not seem to be much, but in fact, repeated pushing hundreds of times was enough to make the muscles of ordinary strong men tired to the point of muscle soreness. Sui Xiong also had fitness experience before he came to this world. He bench pressed the barbell fourteen or fifteen times a set, and he exercised four sets a day, adding up to about sixty times, which was almost the limit. And these villagers' "exercise intensity" was definitely higher than his, and they could not rest in between … To be honest, no one was tired until now, which made Sui Xiong admire their endurance.
However, these villagers, after all, were not monsters. Now they were all sweating, and they were completely holding on.
But looking at the sky, although the moon was already leaning towards the west, it was still far from sunrise.
"It seems that it's almost time for me to show up …" Sui Xiong said to himself. Just as he was about to jump out and make a dazzling appearance, things changed again.
The aura that shrouded the village every night and made Sui Xiong hate it suddenly became stronger. Like a wave, it rushed towards the army of skeletons.
All the skeletons that were close to the fence were directly smashed into pieces, turning into pale white bones that scattered all over the ground.
At the same time, Sui Xiong heard the sound of praying. Many praying voices joined together with a strange rhythm, pushing the aura to grow continuously.
He was shocked, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. This world was not Earth, and it had supernatural powers, such as those skeletons. In the face of supernatural attacks, it was only natural to use supernatural powers to defend.
Perhaps, this was the village's true defensive measure?
It turned out that Sui Xiong had guessed wrong again.
Just as he was in a daze, four girls in black robes came out of the stone house, each carrying a wooden cage wrapped in black cloth. They went to each side of the village and handed the wooden cage to the four strong men who had been waiting there for a long time. The strong men carefully took the cage, threw it out, threw it over the fence, and threw it into the army of skeletons.
After a while, the mournful cry of a chicken sounded in the army of skeletons, and four monsters from nowhere suddenly appeared in the group of skeletons, raging wildly.
These monsters had chicken heads and wings, but had a torso similar to that of a human. At first glance, it was obvious that the strength of their thick limbs was extraordinary. The chicken claws and hands were very sharp, and the skeletons fell and broke when they touched them. They were completely vulnerable. They were also very tall. The shortest one was almost as tall as three strong men, and the tallest one was even close to the height of five people.
"Strange! Where did these monsters come from? "
Sui Xiong was stunned. He could swear to Marx that he had been observing the village for a long time, but he had absolutely not found any trace of these four monsters. If he couldn't see such big things, wouldn't he be blind?!
So, where did these four big guys come from?
No, this was not the point. The point of the problem was that with these four big guys guarding the door, the army of skeletons seemed to be unable to do anything to the village …
Sui Xiong didn't have much combat experience, so he couldn't accurately measure how strong the four monsters were. But looking at their invincible rampage in the crowd of skeletons, it looked like a one-sided crushing. Although the skeletons had sufficient reinforcements and could be said to be endless, even if they were endless, they could not do anything to these four powerful monsters that could kill a group of skeletons in seconds with a wave of their arms.
Sui Xiong could not help but secretly sigh.
After all, he still underestimated these villagers who could settle down in the black forest!
But it didn't take long for him to find that his previous estimate was right. The strength of this village was actually not so strong.
About half an hour later, the four monsters suddenly let out shrill screams. Their bodies, which were basically unscathed from the fierce battle, began to tremble violently. A moment later, four explosions sounded, and each of them turned into a pool of blood.
Seeing this scene, the villagers seemed a little disappointed, but Sui Xiong was relieved.
It was still early, and his original plan of a shining savior should still be implemented.
No, in fact, the situation now was very good. Because of the struggle of the four monsters during this time, the number of skeletons had been reduced a lot, and it was no longer as dense as before. Although the reinforcements from the underground were still continuous, it would take some time to restore to the previous level. On the other hand, the villagers, after this period of rest, had recovered a lot of physical strength. Even if they could not hold on, at least the entire line of defense would not collapse at once, so that Sui Xiong could be sure to save everyone when he appeared.
This was a good thing. It was nothing more than that the villagers might be a little frightened, but after all, there would be no danger.
Sui Xiong was confident that as long as he jumped to the village and circled around the fence, he could destroy more than 80% of the skeleton army, and the remaining two or three kittens could slowly play whack-a-mole.
No problem, everything was in the calculation.
The destruction of the four monsters was obviously within the calculations of the villagers. They just sighed slightly and continued to devote themselves to the work of resisting the skeleton army.
The situation was no different from before. The skeletons rushed to the front of the fence, and the villagers pushed them back with burning sticks, burning them again and again until they collapsed.
But soon, Sui Xiong saw the problem.
The strength of the villagers was far worse than before!
After all, they were exhausted. Even if they had rested for more than half an hour, they could not recover much.
In fact, this was still a small matter. In the face of a crisis of life and death, even a pig would squeeze the last trace of strength to fight to the end, let alone people. Although these villagers were all panting, Sui Xiong dared to bet that they could at least hold on for more than an hour!
In comparison, there was another crisis that was more pressing.
The wooden fence around the village might not be able to hold on!
The wooden fence around the village was indeed strong, but no matter how strong it was, it was only wood after all. In this night, it was constantly attacked by the skeleton army and burned countless times by the burning sticks. It was really about to reach its limit. If this world was a game, the durability of the wooden fence would have turned red and was on the verge of collapsing.
Once the fence collapsed, the whole line of defense would completely collapse.
At this time, the village gate, which had been closed, was opened.
As if someone was secretly controlling it, the skeleton army, which had been madly attacking the fence, all stopped and hurriedly rushed toward the village gate.
Sui Xiong was stunned. He couldn't understand the thinking of these skeletons.
After struggling for most of the night, the whole wooden fence was about to be completely destroyed, and the village was about to be flooded. Why did they immediately ignore the wooden fence and go straight to the gate when the gate was opened?
What kind of logic was this!
Sui Xiong felt that perhaps only in those old enlightening games, there would be such a level of artificial intelligence.
Oh … these skeletons had died long ago. They were not even artificial, let alone intelligent …
Just as he was secretly complaining, the skeleton army, which had surrounded the whole village, had gathered at the gate and rushed up one after another.
The ones responsible for resisting them were naturally the strong men who had been conserving their strength.
These strong men, wearing animal skin armor, waved heavy weapons such as axes and hammers, and smashed the skeletons that rushed over. The strong bodies, which had been tempered by logging all year round, contained extraordinary power. The black skeletons were not their opponents at all, and a large number of them fell in a short time.
However, such a fierce battle was also amazing for physical consumption. In just about ten minutes, the strong men who had been logging all year round began to pant.
The bald man who had been guarding the gate waved his hand and directed them to retreat. He took two or three strong men to block the way.
His strength was obviously much stronger than that of ordinary lumberjacks. With a wave of his axe, several skeletons fell down, completely like cutting grass.
Sui Xiong could not help but be secretly surprised. At first glance, this bald man did not look particularly strong than those lumberjacks, but his combat effectiveness was completely different. It was like they were not the same species. What did he eat when he grew up to be so strong?
After he had a good relationship with the people in this village, he must have a good exchange with him. If he could learn from his experience of becoming stronger, with the foundation of his physical body, he would definitely be strong enough to go against the law of nature!
However, this strong man seemed to have a problem with his endurance. After fighting for about twice the time of ordinary people, he began to pant and retreat, letting other lumberjacks take over, and he retreated to the rear to have a good rest.
Of course, in this short time, he had knocked down at least two or three hundred skeletons, which was a brilliant record.
This guy was really strong!
