Traveling back to ancient times to determine the zodiac

"Brother Dong, let's tie up the Dog King and chase the Nian Beast quickly!" Xiaoxing said.

"Okay." Dong nodded, then called a few people to tie the dog's head with a rope and pull it back.

When the other dogs saw the dog king being captured, they all wailed. Seeing this, the dog leader turned around and said, "Big Black Dog, Big Spotted Dog, all my people: Now I have surrendered to humans, and humans have promised to spare my life, so you don't have to be sad. From now on, our dog tribe will take humans as their master and will always be loyal to humans. Do you understand?"

"We will follow the king's orders!" the big black dog and all the dogs responded in unison.

Doghead nodded in satisfaction, then followed the crowd and ran outside.

The group was led by the bandicoot as usual. They walked out of the amethyst cave, passed through the water cave, and returned to the first earth cave. Suddenly, they heard a burst of shouting and killing.

It turned out that Nian Di, Zhu Tou and a small part of the escaped wolf group climbed up the fork road and followed the big bad wolf to run all the way out of the cave. They quickly ran out of the purple crystal cave and the water cave and came to the entrance of the earth cave. As soon as the big bad wolf stuck its head out of the cave, it was discovered by Zhi, Lao Yang, Lao Liu and others who were guarding the cave entrance. Zhi shouted: "The Nian beast and the evil dog are out, kill them!"

The two hundred brave warriors who had been guarding the cave entrance were already ready to fight. As soon as they heard the order, they immediately drew their swords and guns and rushed forward shouting.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the big bad wolf shouted: "Oh! My king, there are humans guarding outside. Run back quickly."

When Emperor Nian and Zhu Tou heard this, they were so frightened that they turned around and ran back into the cave. Zhi, who was leading the others, chased them closely.

The Big Bad Wolf led Emperor Nian and his party to run for a distance. Pighead panted and shouted, "Emperor Nian, Big Bad Wolf, there are humans inside too. We can't run back anymore."

"Yes, yes, Pighead is right. Big Bad Wolf, we still have to find a way to escape from the cave." Upon hearing this, Emperor Nian suddenly realized something and hurriedly stopped and gave the order.

"Yes, Emperor Nian. Let me find a way to get rid of them." The big bad wolf's eyes rolled, and relying on the complex terrain, he began to circle around.

Because the cave was dark and the terrain was complicated, and Zhi had ordered people to leave marks along the way, the speed was extremely slow. After chasing for a while, they fell behind for a while. After chasing for a while, they even lost their shadows. Everyone was holding torches, shouting slogans, and circling around in the cave, but finally lost them completely.

The Big Bad Wolf and Emperor Nian got rid of Zhi and the others who were chasing them, and once again came out of the Soul-Bizarre Cave to look around. As expected, there was no one in sight. Taking this opportunity, they immediately fled like the wind. They ran fifty miles in one breath before they dared to take a breath.

"Emperor Nian, I'm so tired. Let's take a rest." The pig head sat down on the ground and said breathlessly.

"Emperor Nian, now that we have escaped so far, humans will surely not be able to catch up with us for a while." The big bad wolf also panted heavily.

"Well, let's take a break before running!" Emperor Nian nodded, stopped, looked around, let out a long sigh, and said thankfully: "We finally escaped. I was really scared just now."

"Emperor Nian, we escaped, but our Dog King is still in the cave, and we don't know whether he is dead or alive?" said the Big Bad Wolf sadly.

"Big Bad Wolf, Dog Head must have been killed by humans, and now he should have become human barbecue." Emperor Nian guessed.

"Ah! My king, you died so tragically." Hearing this, the Big Bad Wolf howled and squeezed out two tears, then announced to the wolves that had escaped with him, "The old dog king is really dead. We dogs cannot be without a master for a day. Now I declare: I, the Big Bad Wolf, am the new king."

"This, this--" The wolves whispered to each other, seemingly disagreeing.

"Emperor Nian, you are the emperor of the world. Do you think I should become the new king now?" Seeing that he had no supporters, the Big Bad Wolf wanted to use Emperor Nian to justify his reputation.

Emperor Nian recalled that it was indeed the Big Bad Wolf who had helped them escape from the Soul-Breath Cave, so he nodded and said, "The Big Bad Wolf is right. Dog Head is dead, and now the Big Bad Wolf will replace Dog Head as the new Canine King."

The wolves thought that the Dog King would listen to Emperor Nian, so they stopped doubting and surrounded the Big Bad Wolf, shouting in unison: "King!"

"Okay! Okay! My people, you must listen to me from now on." The Big Bad Wolf ordered proudly.

"Emperor Nian, the Soul-Locking Cave has been breached and Dog Head is dead. Where should we escape to next?" Pig Head asked Emperor Nian as he watched the sky darken.

"I don't know where to escape to." Emperor Nian sighed and looked at the pig head: "Why don't I go with you to the pig's nest to hide!"

"Emperor Nian, I'm afraid my pigsty can't resist humans." Pighead replied.

"You are my bodyguard, you have to find a way to resist no matter what." Emperor Nian said angrily.

"Yes, yes, then let's go to the old pig's nest." Pighead saw that Emperor Nian was angry, and he would be in trouble if he didn't agree.

"In this case, we should not stay here for long. Humans will catch up with us. Let's go quickly." Emperor Nian said.

After the animals had discussed it, they headed southwards to the muddy swamp of Pighead that night.

Besides, Zhi, Lao Yang, Lao Liu, Hong'er, Lan'er... and others lost the target after chasing for a while, so they had to return the same way. On the way, they happened to meet Xiao Xing, Dong and others who had just rushed out.

"Uncle Zhi, how did you get into the cave?" Dong Ying came up and asked.

"Dong, Xing, we were guarding the cave entrance just now, and we found that the big bad wolf, Emperor Nian, Pig Head and others were trying to escape from the cave. I led everyone to kill them, and those beasts immediately retreated back into the cave. We immediately followed them in, and after chasing for a while, the Nian beasts disappeared." Zhi saw everyone coming out and hurriedly answered, and then asked: "How are you? Are you okay?"

"Uncle Zhi, we followed the bandicoots and attacked the purple crystal cave. Dog-head led the Nian beast to play hide-and-seek with us again. Led by the bandicoots, we got in front of them and successfully blocked them. Unexpectedly, the Big Bad Wolf and the Nian Emperor Pig-head were desperate and escaped. The Dog King stayed to fight with us in order to protect them, and was eventually defeated by us. Dog-head had no way to escape, so he surrendered to us. Based on previous practice, we allowed him to surrender and ordered him to help hunt down the Nian beast. He has now been captured here."

"Xing, Dong, you did a great job!" Zhi praised everyone and said, "Based on my hunting experience of more than fifty years, if the Dog King is captured, the Nian Beast will not be able to escape. Let's work harder and catch up with the Nian Beast and destroy it."

"Uncle Zhi, don't be anxious. Come, let's let the bandicoots listen and we'll know where they are hiding." Xiao Xing said, then turned to the bandicoots and said, "Bandicoots, help us listen to where the Nian beasts are now?"

"Yes, you are a powerful human." After lying on the ground and listening for a while, the bandicoot stood up and said, "The big gray wolf has led Emperor Nian and his party out of the cave, and they are now about fifty miles away from here."

"Oh, you cunning big bad wolf! You let them escape!" Zhi stomped his feet and shouted.

"Uncle Zhi, let's chase them before they get far away." Dong said, waving a stone axe.

"Well, we must not let them get away this time, let's chase them." Zhi followed with the order.

So the bandicoot continued to lead the way, and the group walked out of the Soul-confusing Cave. It was almost evening, and the sky began to darken. Dong looked around blankly and asked Zhi, "Uncle Zhi, the wilderness is vast, and I don't know where the Nian beast and its group have fled to. Where should we chase them?"

"This--I don't know either." Zhi shook his head and replied.

"Uncle Zhi, Brother Dong, won't we know if we let the fox listen again?" Xiaoxing said.

Then he called the bandicoot, who lay on the ground and listened. After a while, he stood up and said, "Powerful human, Emperor Nian and his entourage must have gone far away. I can't hear where they fled to."

"The damn Nian beasts escaped again! Alas." Dong cursed angrily when he heard it.

Zhi comforted Dong and said, "Dong, why are you angry? Nian can't escape." Then he turned to the dog head and asked, "Dog King, let me ask you, do you know where Nian will escape to?"

"Powerful human, there is only Pighead left by Emperor Nian's side now. I guess it must have escaped to Pighead's piglet - the mud." Doghead answered respectfully.

Zhi then turned to Xiaoxing and asked, "Xing, do you think that the Nian Beast escaped to the pig den with the Pig King?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhi, the Dog King is right. The Nian beast must have escaped to the pig den." Xiaoxing replied.

Seeing that Xiaoxing's answer was the same as the Dog King's, Zhi no longer had any doubts and asked Dog Head, "Dog King, since the Nian beast has escaped to the pigpen, do you know the way? Can you lead us to chase it?" Zhi continued to ask.

"Great human, I know the way to the pigsty, of course I can take you there." Dog Head replied.

"In that case, Uncle Zhi, Xing, let's continue chasing now?" Dong raised the stone axe and was about to set off.

"Dong, it's getting late now, it's inconvenient to travel. Let's rest for a night and chase tomorrow." Zhi looked around and saw the dusk, so he waved his hand.

"Powerful human, now that the Soul-Locking Cave has been broken and the Dog King has been captured, my mission is over. I want to go back to my Gui Mountain and will not accompany you to chase the Nian Beast." The bandicoot shook its long ears and walked eastward.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxing, Zhi and the others waved goodbye and said, "Tu Li, thank you for your help! Thank you very much!"

After the bandicoot left, Zhi ordered his men to lock up the beast kings, including the dog head, rat and ox, and then they lit a bonfire and started dinner. After dinner, they held a celebration meeting as usual.

This victory was due to the cooperation of everyone. Therefore, Zhi invited Xiaoxing and Dong, Chen, Xi, Feng, Yun, Lei and others to the public, and then said to everyone: "Dear warriors: The Soul-confusing Cave that has troubled us for half a month was finally broken by us today. Although the Nian Beast still managed to escape, we captured the Dog King, which is also a great achievement worth celebrating. With my hunting experience of more than 50 years, the victory of this attack was all due to the ability of the bandicoot to listen and calculate. Therefore, we must first thank Xing and Chen for taking the trouble to invite Bai Ling and get instructions. Everyone applaud them. "

After hearing this, everyone immediately applauded enthusiastically. Xiao Xing scratched his head and said modestly: "Uncle Zhi, this is nothing to praise. In fact, this piece of wood carving of the Nuwa statue was handed over to us by the cave owner, so this victory should be attributed to the cave owner."

"Xing, the cave master's achievements are naturally incomparable, but your perseverance is also worthy of our praise!" Zhi affirmed the two again and continued, "Next, it is Xing, Dong, Xi, Chen, Feng, Yun, Lei, Dian and all the warriors who should be praised. It was you who took the trouble to invite the bandicoots, and then led everyone to attack the Soul-Bending Cave, and finally defeated and subdued the Dog King. You are all great contributors."

After Zhi finished speaking, he applauded and everyone followed suit. After the applause, Zhi continued to say to everyone: "My fellow warriors, according to the Dog King, the Nian Beast is now following the Pig Head and his group to escape to the pig nest in the south - the muddy mud. In order to completely eliminate the Nian Beast, I declare: I will set off tomorrow to the pig nest to hunt down the Nian Beast."

"Yes, sir!" Everyone responded loudly after receiving the order.

Just as everyone was about to break up and take a break, Xiaodian asked Zhi in confusion, "Uncle Zhi, we have spent months and traveled thousands of miles to hunt down the Nian Beast, but it escaped again and again. If this continues, not only will they be annoyed, but we will be annoyed as well."

"Dian, if they try to escape, we will of course chase them. With my fifty years of hunting experience, one day, we will catch up with and destroy the Nian beast. What's bothering you?" Zhi asked back.

"Uncle Zhi, I just feel a little confused." Xiaodian said dejectedly.

"Dian, although the Nian beast escaped time and time again, we captured its minions horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, etc. one by one. Now it only has a pig king following it. I believe that when we rush to the pig's den and defeat it, the end of the Nian beast will come." Zhi answered confidently.
