Traveling back to ancient times to determine the zodiac

"This is a great plan. Let's give it a try." Dong nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"Okay!" The bandicoot nodded and said, "Don't worry, let me listen." After that, it lay on the ground and listened. After a long while, the bandicoot stood up and said, "Awesome human, I already know how to stop them. Come with me."

"British coward, you're awesome!" Xiaoxing gave the british coward a thumbs up in praise, then turned to Dong and said: "Brother Dong, let's split up now. You and Brother Xi will lead a team to continue chasing. Chen and I will lead a team to follow the british coward to intercept them. How do you think?" Xiaoxing asked.

"No problem. Xing, we'll proceed as planned." Dong raised the stone axe in agreement.

So the troops split into two groups. Dong led the West, North, Central, etc. half of the people to continue chasing along the route that Doghead escaped. Xiaoxing led Chen, Yue, Feng, Yun, etc. half of the people to take a detour with the bandicoot to intercept them.

The bandicoot was not only faster than the turtle spirit, but also could distinguish the smallest details in the dark. With its keen hearing, it could actually identify the road. The group turned one after another, and at an intersection, the bandicoot stopped and said, "Awesome human, we have intercepted the road in front of the dog king."

"Great! Bandicoot." Xiao Xing shouted excitedly, "Listen again and see how far away we are from the Dog King.

"As you command." The bandicoot just pricked up his long ears and immediately replied anxiously: "Oh no, powerful human, the dog kings are less than a mile away, what should we do?"

"What should we do? Apart from fighting them, what else can we do?" Xiao Xing answered, turned around and waved to everyone seriously, "Brothers, the Dog King and the Nian Beast are just ahead, everyone pick up your weapons and charge forward!"

"Charge! Capture the Dog King alive and eliminate the Nian beast!" The crowd shouted slogans and rushed forward.

As for the Dog King, after his victory in the anti-encirclement, he boasted in front of Emperor Nian and no longer paid attention to humans. When humans attacked the water cave, the big black dog Big Gray Wolf, who was in charge of guarding, heard the noise and hurriedly reported to the Dog King: "Report to the King, disaster has occurred, humans are attacking again, what should we do?"

Before the Dog King could answer, Emperor Nian jumped up from his sleep and asked, "What? Humans are attacking again? Dog Head, move quickly, move quickly."

"I am the boss of my territory." Doghead stretched lazily and replied calmly: "The humans have just entered the water cave. It won't be too late to run away after they enter the amethyst cave."

"Doghead, for safety's sake, let's run!" Emperor Nian said, and then he kicked the sleeping pighead and shouted, "You dead pig, humans have already invaded, why don't you get up quickly? You won't know how you will die later."

"Hmph-hmph-hmph - humans are invading. Where are they? Where are they?" The pig-headed man got up and ran away in a daze. Due to his panic, his long mouth bumped into the amethyst column, causing him to scream in pain.

"Pighead, you are such a coward. You got so scared when you heard humans coming that you lost your way. Hahaha..." Doghead laughed endlessly.

"My king, humans are almost at the Amethyst Cave." The big black dog reported again.

"Doghead, hurry up. Otherwise, we will be caught up by humans!" Upon hearing this, Emperor Nian urged anxiously.

"The humans are really fast this time!" Doghead muttered in confusion, and then gave an order: "Big Black Dog, Big Bad Wolf, all my people, the humans have invaded the cave again, now everyone follow me and move."

After saying this, Doghead led Emperor Nian and Pighead to flee to the next flat land as usual before they rested. While the beasts were still catching their breath, Emperor Nian ordered Doghead: "Doghead, listen quickly, where are the humans? What are they talking about?"

The dog head lay down and listened for a while, then raised his head and replied, "Emperor Nian, no wonder the humans were so fast this time, it turns out they asked some bandicoot to help. They have already attacked the doghouse, and they said they would send a team to get ahead of us and intercept us."

"Doghead, what are we waiting for? Let's run away?" Upon hearing this, Emperor Nian was panicked and wanted to run again.

"I am the boss of my territory." Doghead shook his head disapprovingly. "Do I feel scared just because they asked a bandicoot to help? There are thousands of forks in the road here. It's lucky they didn't get lost. How could they possibly get ahead of us?"

"Doghead, we should be prepared for the worst. If they really find a way to get ahead of us, we will have no way to escape." Emperor Nian is not that optimistic.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Even if they can get ahead of us, we don't know how long it will take. It's okay for us to take a rest first." The dog stuck out his tongue and panted.

"Emperor Nian, we are tired after running this long. Why don't we listen to Doghead and take a rest before running again!" Pighead sat down, breathing heavily.

Emperor Nian himself didn't know the way, so he could only lie down helplessly. After taking a short rest, he called out to Doghead impatiently, "Doghead, you've rested enough, let's run!"

"Emperor Nian, we just lay down, why are you saying you want to run?" Although Dog Head's face was full of displeasure, he could not resist Emperor Nian's repeated urging, so he had to lazily get up and lead the beasts to run forward.

The dog king and his entourage ran forward slowly, while the humans, led by the bandicoot, quickly copied over and blocked the way in front of the dog head. The humans shouted slogans and rushed from the front, scaring the Nian Emperor, the dog head, the pig head and the dogs so much that they lost two of their three souls and six of their seven spirits.

"Doghead, why are humans coming to attack us from the front?" The thunderous shouts of killing frightened Emperor Nian so much that he stood still on the spot, and he asked Doghead.

"This, this..." Doghead was also shocked when he heard the sound, and replied in disbelief: "Humans actually got ahead of us. How is it possible? How is it possible?"

"You dead dog!" Emperor Nian was furious. He stretched out his long tail and swung it over the dog's head, cursing, "I told you to run, but you didn't. You said that humans couldn't get ahead of us, but now humans are really attacking us from the front. What should we do now?"

The dog head was thrown ten feet away. He dared not to force it anymore. He climbed up with pain and said, "Since we can't go forward, we have no choice but to turn back."

The beasts turned around and ran back in panic. But within half a mile, they heard the majestic slogans of humans in front of them: "Capture the Dog King alive, and destroy the Nian beast!..."

"It's over, it's over. The humans behind us have caught up. Damn dog head, where are you going to run now?" Emperor Nian collapsed and screamed.

"Emperor Nian, there is no branch road on this road. Now it is blocked in front and behind. There is no way to escape." Dog Head looked up at the high and steep amethyst stone walls on both sides of the road and said helplessly.

"Emperor Nian, there is no way to escape, we are dead this time!" Pighead shouted in despair.

"You damn dog head, you can't lead me out of this cave. I will eat you first!" Emperor Nian roared like thunder.

"Yes, yes...Emperor Nian." The dog-head trembled, turned around and walked quickly forward, looking left and right, hoping to find a fork in the road.

Less than half a mile away, we saw flashes of fire and deafening shouts ahead. It was Xiaoxing and Tuli's team attacking us.

When Goutou saw this, he was so scared that he turned around and ran back. But after half a mile, the east and west teams behind him had caught up with him. Goutou was in a dilemma, like an ant on a hot pot, and he shouted in despair: "It's over, it's over, I'm really dead this time, I'm really dead this time..."

"Damned dog head, you killed me, I will never forgive you this time!" Emperor Nian rolled up the dog head with his long tail like a madman, opened his mouth wide and was about to push it in.

"Emperor Nian, Your Majesty, there is a road here, we can escape from here!" A life-saving voice suddenly came.

Emperor Nian and Goutou looked in the direction of the sound and found that the big bad wolf had discovered a gap not far away. It jumped up with all its might and saw a fork in the road, so it quickly called them over.

The Nian Emperor immediately dropped the dog's head and ran over there with the other beasts. At this time, Dong led the others to chase them and shouted, "The Nian Beast and the Dog King are right in front of us, don't let them get away!"

The beasts ran to the gap, and Doghead was the first to go up, but Emperor Nian used his long tail to roll him up and threw him aside, shouting angrily, "Damn Doghead, you put me in a deadly situation, and you still want to escape? It would be fine if you just block the humans from chasing you, otherwise, you will be killed without mercy."

After saying that, he quickly climbed up the gap and fled with the wolf. The pig head hurriedly followed behind, and then the wolves and dogs scrambled to climb up.

The dog head was knocked unconscious by Emperor Nian. When he finally stood up and tried to escape, it was too late. Dong and Xi found the dog head and his group in the light of the fire, and rushed over with stone axes. The dog head had no choice but to turn around and run with the big black dog and the dogs that didn't climb up the fork. Before he could run more than a few dozen feet, Xiao Xing, Chen and others came to kill him. The dog head was attacked from both sides, howling and ready to fight.

"Evil dogs, you have no way to escape now. Hand over the Nian beast and die together!" Dong looked at the pack of dogs and shouted sternly.

"You cunning humans actually cut off our way. But what you don't know is that there is a fork in the road. Emperor Nian just escaped from there. If you want to chase me, I have no choice but to fight you." Although Emperor Nian abandoned Dog Head, Dog Head, who had been under the tyranny of Emperor Nian for a long time, still did not dare to disobey his orders.

"What? The Nian beast ran away again?" Dong shouted angrily, "Okay, then we will kill you, the evil dog, first."

Dong swung the stone axe and chopped at the Dog King. The Dog King and other dog spirits such as the big black dog and the big spotted dog also rushed over with their fangs and claws bared, and fought with the humans.

The dog king opened his mouth and pounced at Dong's throat. Dong held a torch in his left hand and a stone axe in his right hand. Seeing the dog king rushing towards him, he was not panicked. He immediately blocked the burning torch in front of his chest. With his right hand, he swung the axe and chopped the dog king's belly. Seeing the torch, how could the dog king dare to bite again? He had to stop halfway, and his belly had already been hit by the axe. Fortunately, his skin was thick and tough, and he was invulnerable to swords and spears. He quickly twisted his waist and attacked Dong's thigh again. Dong still blocked with the torch and attacked with the stone axe. A man and a dog fought together.

Although these dogs were tough and resistant to swords and guns, they could not hurt the humans holding torches. Gradually, the dogs were at a disadvantage and could only be beaten without any ability to fight back. Finally, the dog king was hit on the front foot by Dong's axe and could not stand up immediately. He curled up on the ground and wailed, "Powerful human, please don't kill me. I am willing to rebel against Emperor Nian and surrender to you humans."

"Hmph! You vicious dog, you trapped us in the cave for a day and a night, and we almost starved to death. Now you want to spare your life? Dream on!" Dong raised the stone axe angrily, ready to kill Dog Tou.

"Powerful human, I was forced by the Nian beast and had to obey it. If you surrender, you will regard humans as your master from now on, always submit to humans, be loyal to humans, and do anything for humans. If you betray me, you will be dealt with at your will." In order to stay alive, Doghead was willing to agree to anything.

Hearing this, Xiao Xing walked over and held Dong's hand, saying, "Brother Dong, since Doghead is willing to surrender, let's catch him first like the Monkey King, and then hand him over to Uncle Zhi for the decision!"

"Xing, this vicious dog is more cunning than the Monkey King. If we don't kill it now, I'm afraid it will cause trouble again in the future." Dong said worriedly.

"Powerful humans, Emperor Nian has escaped. I swear: from now on you are my masters, and we are willing to eat even your shit." In order to save his life, the Dog King gave it his all.

"Since you, a vicious dog, are willing to be my slave, I will spare your life." Dong Jian said so and then took back the stone axe.

Seeing that Dong spared the Dog King, Xiao Xing asked it, "Dog King, since you have surrendered, tell us where the Nian Beast has fled to? Then take us to chase it and destroy it."

"Powerful human, Emperor Nian and Pighead followed the Big Bad Wolf and escaped from a fork in the road over there. They must have escaped out of the cave." Doghead replied, pointing at the gap.

"The Dog King is right. The Nian beasts have already escaped to the entrance of the Mihun Cave." The bandicoot turned his long ears and said.
