Traveling back to ancient times to determine the zodiac

"Your Majesty, Emperor Nian is the emperor of the world. How could such a powerful animal be unable to defeat humans? Why did he run here to seek refuge?" asked the white pig demon in confusion.

"Although Emperor Nian is extremely powerful, humans can use various weapons such as bows and arrows, swords, axes, sticks, etc. Look, one of Emperor Nian's eyes was blinded by an arrow shot by a human. And my anus was poked by a gun used by humans, and it bled. It really hurts this old pig. Because I can't defeat humans, I have to flee everywhere." Pighead explained.

"Oh, so that's the case. Then please, Your Majesty and Emperor Nian, go into the pigsty quickly." said the black pig demon.

"Black pig, white pig, the two of you continue to guard outside this muddy quagmire. If you find any humans chasing you, report to me immediately." The Pighead ordered.

"Yes, my king." The black and white pig demon agreed and stayed outside the muddy quagmire.

The pig head led Emperor Nian and the pigs back to the pigsty in the center of the muddy swamp, then stopped and said, "Emperor Nian, this is my pigsty."

"Pighead, your pigpen doesn't have any barriers. What if humans attack?" Emperor Nian looked around and asked worriedly.

"Emperor Nian, humans are attacking. If you can defeat them, then fight. If you can't, then run away!" The pighead replied, shaking his head.

"You pighead, what you said makes sense. This is the only way for now." Emperor Nian said helplessly.

The pig head lay down in the mud under the banana tree, rolled over comfortably, and said, "I have been running for more than ten days, and I am so tired and sleepy. Now I can finally have a good sleep."

"Pighead, you are just very sleepy, but I am starving. What food do you have? Bring it to me quickly." As soon as Emperor Nian was safe, he felt very hungry.

"Emperor Nian, please be patient. There is nothing to eat in my pigsty." The pighead replied.

"Pighead, you have so many fat pigs here, please offer a few as tribute to me to fill my stomach first!" Emperor Nian drooled as he looked at the fat pigs.

"Emperor Nian, this won't do. You've eaten all my people. If humans come to hunt us down tomorrow, who will resist them?" At the critical moment, Pighead was still smart and knew to use humans to scare Emperor Nian.

As expected, when Emperor Nian heard the word "human", he immediately shook his head and waved his hands, saying: "Well, you stupid pig is right, I'd better wait for the humans to retreat before feasting!"

Therefore, Emperor Nian could only wipe his saliva and stay in the mud with Pighead, enduring hunger and thirst.

Let's talk about the humans again. Led by the dog head, they headed straight for the pigsty. They kept going for more than ten days. This morning, Zhihe's army finally arrived outside the swamp of the pigsty.

"Great human, the pig king's piggy bank is in the mud ahead." Dog Head stopped and pointed ahead.

Zhi, Xiaoxing, Dong and the others looked up and saw that it was a large swamp. Dong laughed and said, "The Pig King is stupid. He chose to make his home in the swamp. This is much easier to attack than the Barren Mountain of the Sheep King, the Cliff Cave of the Monkey King, the Bird King Island of the Chicken King, and the Soul-confusing Cave of the Dog King!"

"Dong, based on my hunting experience of more than fifty years, there are one pig, two tigers and three bears. Although these pig spirits are not carnivores, they are very ferocious and strong. It is not easy to attack them." Zhi Laocheng reminded solemnly.

"Brother Dong, Uncle Zhi is right. Last time when we besieged the Pig King, we couldn't defeat it after fighting for a long time because it was invulnerable to swords and guns. Later, I had to poke its asshole with a gun to drive it away. Therefore, we must never take it lightly." Xiaoxing echoed.

"I say, Xing, is it that the pig spirit is too powerful, or are you too timid? You are really boosting the enemy's morale and destroying your own prestige. How about this, you and Uncle Zhi set up camp here, and I, Brother Dong, will lead people to attack the pig's den, capture the pig king, kill the Nian beast, and then go home together." Dong wanted to make a contribution, so he was about to attack.

"Dong, don't be careless. You should go and test it out with Xing. If you can attack, then attack. If you can't attack, then retreat quickly. Everything should be done according to the circumstances. Don't be too reckless." Zhi said.

"Brother Dong, what Uncle Zhi said makes sense. Let Uncle Zhi set up camp here, and we will go and try it out together!" Xiaoxing followed.

Dong nodded in agreement, and then called up 400 warriors including Xi, Chen, Bei, Zhong, Feng, etc., armed with swords, spears, sticks, and bows and arrows, they rushed into the depths of the swamp shouting.

As soon as we entered the swamp, a pungent strange smell hit everyone's nostrils, making us feel nauseous.

"Ah! What's that smell? It's so damn stinky." Dong asked, covering his nose.

"Brother Dong, there's a pigsty up ahead. I guess it smells like pig manure and urine." Xi guessed.

"Brother Xi is right. I guess it's the smell of pig manure." Xiaoxing also frowned.

"Xing, these stinky pigs are so smelly, I'm about to vomit!" Chen complained.

"Yeah, I feel like vomiting because of the fumes too." Feng also shouted.

“Brothers, please be patient. As long as the stench continues to kill us, we must fight to the death to defeat the Pig King and eliminate the Nian Beast.” Dong waved his axe to encourage everyone.

The crowd had no choice but to hold their noses as they moved forward. The closer they got to the muddy swamp, the stronger the stench became, almost suffocating. At this moment, Xiaodian suddenly shouted, "Brother Dong, Brother Xing, I really can't stand it anymore!"

After he finished shouting, his body went limp and he fell backwards.

"Brother Dong, Xing, something bad has happened! Dian fainted from the stench!" Lei, who was next to Xiao Dian, was startled and shouted.

"Xiaodian is really useless and can't stand the stench!" Dong wanted to make fun of him, but he opened his mouth wide and immediately felt like vomiting because of the stench.

"Lei, quickly call a few brothers to help carry the electricity back." Xiaoxing ordered hurriedly.

"Yes, Brother Xing." Lei agreed and called three people, who worked together to carry Xiaodian back.

"Brother Dong, the brothers can't stand the stench, what should we do?" Xiaoxing also felt that he couldn't take it anymore.

"Xing, brothers, hold on, be patient, and break into the pigsty in one go." Dong encouraged everyone while holding back his nausea.

Everyone turned around and prepared to move forward, only to see two pigs, one black and one white, running over from under a willow tree in the distance. Soon, they came to the crowd with a "wheezing" sound.

"Ah - the two-legged beasts in front, what animals are you? How dare you attack our pigpen?" the black pig demon shouted.

"Listen carefully, you fools. We are humans from Hongmeng, and we are here only to eliminate the Nian beast. If you know what's good for you, hand over the Nian beast and I will spare your lives." Dong answered sternly, waving a stone axe.

"You are humans?" Upon hearing this, the white pig demon looked at the black pig demon and said, "Brother Black Pig, it turns out that humans look like monkeys."

"What's so scary about monkey-like humans? I can knock them down with just one mouth." The black pig demon shook his head disapprovingly.

"Brother Black Pig, the king told us to report to him if we find humans coming. Let's go back quickly."

"Well. Let's report to the king first." The black pig demon nodded, then he and the white pig demon turned around and ran towards the pigsty.

Dong swung his axe and shouted, "Don't run, you two fat pigs! Leave your lives behind!"

After saying that, he chased after him regardless of everything. Xiaoxing and Xi and other brothers did not dare to neglect and followed closely.

After running for a while, the stench became stronger, and even the strong Dong couldn't stand it. He stopped at the edge of the mud and gasped desperately. Xiaoxing and the others also stopped, and many people began to vomit because of the fumes.

"Brother Dong, this pigsty is really full of shit and urine, it stinks, and flies are everywhere. Oh, I'm going to vomit too!" Xiaoxing said, and he couldn't help but squatted down and vomited.

"Xing, hey! Why are you all vomiting? What should we do?" Dong looked at everyone. Most of them were vomiting violently. He was stunned for a moment.

"Brother Dong, Xiaosha, Yue and more than a dozen other people fainted from the stench again." Shugen shouted in the crowd.

"Hurry, carry Xiaosha and the others back." Dong waved his hand and ordered.

"Brother Dong, this poisonous gas is suffocating. I suggest you withdraw your troops first. We can go back and think of ways to avoid the poison before attacking again." Xiaoxing suggested when he saw this.

"Xing, we have finally managed to get here, how can we retreat so easily? If you really can't hold on, go back first." Dong insisted on doing what he wanted and wanted to take the credit, so why would he listen to advice?

"Brother Dong, I'm worried that if we leave, you will be alone and weak. How can you defeat the Pig King and the others?" Xiaoxing said again.

"Humph, you really worry too much." Dong replied unhappily: "Brother Dong, I have hunted countless prey, when did I need your help?"

"Xing, since Brother Dong said so, let them continue to attack, and we will retreat first! Chen, who was standing next to him, was also fed up with the stench, and when he saw Xiaoxing propose to retreat, he strongly agreed.

"Chen, I'm worried that if we withdraw, something big will happen. How can we explain to Uncle Zhi when we go back? Ugh--" Xiaoxing couldn't help but vomit when he said this.

While everyone was arguing, a loud "whoosh" sounded from the pigsty. Dong looked up hastily, only to see the pig head leading hundreds of pigs rushing out of the nest and rushing towards the people.

It turned out that the black and white pig spirit had just run back to the pigsty and hurriedly reported to the pig head: "My king, disaster has occurred! Now humans are really attacking, what should we do?"

Before Pighead could reply, Emperor Nian beside him jumped up immediately and said, "Ah? Humans are catching up so soon. Pighead, go and block them for me."

"Emperor Nian, why are you in such a hurry? It won't be too late to leave after humans attack." Pighead said lazily as he turned over.

"You lazy pig, when humans attack, what can you do to resist?" Emperor Nian did not allow any explanation, stretched out his long tail, rolled up the pig's head and threw it far away.

With a "bang", the pig head fell on his back, and the mud splashed everywhere. Since he was in the mud, he was not injured. Now the pig head dared not be lazy and shirked, and immediately called all the pig spirits and monsters, and announced: "Listen, my people, now humans are attacking the pig nest. To protect Emperor Nian, everyone follow me to fight the enemy."

When the pig spirits saw the king's order, they had no choice but to obey, and they swarmed along with the pig head and rushed towards humans.

"The lingering humans have caught up with us so quickly. I will fight you to the death." Pighead shouted angrily.

"Hey! You stupid pig, when you see us humans, why don't you surrender quickly and hand over the Nian beast so that you can be spared from death. Otherwise, you will all be wiped out." Dong Qiang cursed, suppressing his discomfort.

"You want me to surrender and hand over Emperor Nian?" The pig-head was so scared that he quickly replied with his ears wagging: "If I surrender, I will be eaten by Emperor Nian. This is absolutely not allowed."

"You stupid pig, you are afraid of being eaten by the Nian beast, but aren't you afraid of being slaughtered by us?" Xiaoxing shouted.

The pig-head was still in a daze, and the black and white pig demon shouted, "My king, what special skills do these monkey-like humans have? If we surrender when he asks us to, how embarrassing it would be? We should give them a fight and see how it goes!"

"That's right, you want me to surrender, unless you defeat me. My people, charge at me!" The pig-headed man had been stabbed in the butt by humans before, so he knew how powerful humans were, but now he was forced into a desperate situation, so he had no choice but to fight.

At the command, those pig monsters, without thinking twice, rushed towards humans, roaring.

It turns out that pigs' hooves are straight, so they are not affected at all when running and jumping in the mud. The black pig demon rushed straight to Dong who was in the front and bit him. Its two fangs, more than one foot long, were like two sharp knives. If you were hit by it, you would be injured at best, or even die. Dong knew it was powerful, so he dodged quickly, but his feet were stuck in the mud and he couldn't pull his feet out. When he tried to pull out one foot, the black pig demon had already rushed to him. Dong was sweating profusely and could only swing the stone axe to chop it on the head.

With a "snap", the axe hit the black pig monster's long mouth. The black pig monster with thick skin and flesh felt some pain, but was not injured. It shook its fat head and made another move towards Dong's belly. Dong hurriedly retreated. If it was on hard ground, he would have avoided it. But in this muddy mud, he couldn't keep up with the speed, and the long fangs were about to pierce his belly. In a split second, at this critical moment, Xi behind him pulled Dong back hard, and he was able to avoid it. Xi then followed with an axe to chop the black pig monster's head.
