Traveling back to ancient times to determine the zodiac

"Xing, your guess makes sense, but you still have to be careful. If you can't do it, retreat immediately to avoid being bitten by the vicious pigs again." Zhi warned earnestly.

"I understand, Uncle Zhi. This is how tomorrow's matter is decided." Xiaoxing nodded.

Everyone agreed. After the discussion, everyone walked into the cave. Xiaoxing looked at the cave. Although it was not as big as Tianju Cave, it was also very spacious and could accommodate at least three or four thousand people. Dong, Xiaoxing and others said goodbye to Hai's body and found a place to bury him.

The next day, the wind and snow stopped, but it was unusually cold. After breakfast, Dong announced to the original 400 warriors: "Brothers, the wind and snow have stopped today, so it's a good time to attack the pig sty. Except for the brothers who were seriously injured last time, the rest of you, take your weapons and follow me."

"Yes, Brother Dong!" Everyone agreed, holding knives and guns, and followed Dong and Xiaoxing into the mud.

It was freezing cold, with snow all over the place. Under the more than a foot thick snow, the black, dirty, mountain-like pig manure in the pigpen disappeared, and the pigsty became white and clean.

Holding weapons and shouting slogans, they rushed into the swamp. Xiaodian, Xiaosha and others were afraid of being knocked unconscious by the stench, so they had covered their noses tightly. At this time, the leader Dong sniffed around and said in surprise: "Xing, Xi, brothers, the stinky smell is gone."

When Xiao Xing heard this, he took a few deep breaths and then shouted, "Brothers, that's great! The poison gas has really disappeared."

Xiaodian, Xiaosha and others let go and smelled the air. Sure enough, the air was fresh and pleasant, without any odor. They couldn't help but shout with joy.

"Brother Dong, brothers, I get it. It must be that the mountains of pig manure are covered by ice and snow, so the poisonous gas cannot be released." Xiaoxing said excitedly.

"Xing is right." Dong nodded, then waved to the people behind him and shouted, "Brothers, hurry up and follow me while there is no poison gas."

Dong strode deep into the swamp, thinking that he would be trapped in the mud again, but he soon found that the mud under his feet had become as hard as stone, and there was no trouble of getting stuck. Dong shouted in surprise and joy: "Xing, brothers, now this swamp is also frozen, and there is no need to worry about getting stuck."

When Xiao Xing heard this, he jumped forward a few times. Sure enough, the ground was solid and hard as iron. He couldn't help but shout, "Brothers, this is great. This mud is really frozen like stone."

When everyone heard this, they all bowed to the sky and said, "God is really helping us. Thank you for your blessing!"

"Brothers, this is all thanks to the Ice God. We should thank the Ice God." Xiaoxing corrected, then turned and bowed to the north.

"Yes, we should thank the Ice God." Chen and everyone else nodded in agreement and followed Xiaoxing in worshipping towards the north.

After thanking the Ice God, everyone turned around and continued to attack the pig nest. Dong led the group and shouted, "Brothers, charge! Defeat the Pig King, destroy the Nian Beast, and avenge the Hail!"

"Defeat the Pig King, exterminate the Nian Beast, and avenge the Hail!" Everyone followed and shouted as they moved forward.

The black and white pig spirit guarding the muddy swamp dug a big hole in the grass because it was too cold, buried its head in the hole and fell asleep. When the humans came close, it woke up in shock, got up quickly and looked up, and was so scared that it shit itself, and screamed: "Ahhh - why are humans attacking again? Quick, report to the king."

After saying that, the black and white pig demon ran towards the pigsty.

As for Emperor Nian and the Pig King, after seeing the humans retreat, they did not attack for several days, so they slept comfortably in the pig sty. While sleeping, Emperor Nian and the Pig King woke up from the cold, and when they looked up, they found that it was snowing heavily.

Pighead said: "Emperor Nian, it's snowing so heavily, no wonder it's so cold."

"Pighead, I remember it never snowed here before, why is it snowing now?" Emperor Nian asked in confusion.

"Emperor Nian, why should I care if it snows? As long as humans don't come, let's continue sleeping." After saying this, Pighead turned over and immediately fell into a deep sleep again.

It turns out that the pig spirits have thick skin and flesh, and they are not afraid of the cold despite the heavy snow. Emperor Nian saw that the pig head fell asleep again, and he had no choice but to sleep with him. Not long after he fell asleep, he heard the black and white pig spirits shouting: "My king, Emperor Nian, it's bad, the humans are attacking again!"

The news of the human attack was like thunder, startling the sleeping Emperor Nian so much that he jumped up immediately and shouted to Pighead: "Pighead, those stubborn humans are attacking again, go and hold them off for me."

The pig head cursed angrily with sleepy eyes: "Stubborn humans are so hateful. They didn't go back even though they were injured, and now they come to disturb my sleep. They are really fighting to the death."

"Yes! Pighead, you bit them last time and now they have recovered, so they are attacking again. You should try to bite the humans to death this time so that they won't come again." Emperor Nian nodded in agreement.

"Okay! Emperor Nian, this time I swear to heaven that I will never return until I bite a few humans to death." The Pighead said fiercely with great ambition.

"Good! Good!" Emperor Nian nodded in satisfaction and said, "Pighead, please don't let me down!"

The pig head stood up with all his strength, called the black and white pig spirits and the pigs, and rushed towards the human. Because of their victory last time, the pigs did not take the human seriously. Soon, the human and the pig met at the edge of the muddy swamp.

Dong raised a stone axe and shouted to the pig king: "Hey! Listen, evil pigs in front, the pig den is covered with snow today, and God is helping me. Hurry up and hand over the Nian beast and surrender. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret when the axe is on your neck."

"You defeated generals are so arrogant." The pig head sneered and said, "If you hadn't run fast last time, I would have bitten you all to death. I advise you to go back to your hometown and sleep quickly, otherwise I will bite you all to death."

"You evil pig, if you won't listen to my advice, then you'll die." Dong was furious, swinging his axe and shouting, "Brothers, destroy the Pig King and avenge the Hai. Charge!"

"Charge!" The people behind them followed suit, waving their swords and guns and rushing eastward towards the pig herd.

The Pig King also shouted to the other pigs: "My people, come and bite all the humans to death to prevent future troubles."

"Yes, my lord!" The pigs received the order and rushed towards the humans.

The black pig monster rushed towards Dong, who was in the front, and pushed forward with its long mouth and fangs. Dong saw that the black pig monster was very powerful, and when the black pig monster rushed to him, he turned around and dodged behind it, and then chopped it with an axe at its butt. The black pig monster was stunned, and just as he turned around to look for someone, he was hit on the butt. Although there was no bleeding or injury, it jumped up in pain, and then turned around and pushed forward again. Dong was not in a hurry, and turned around again, successfully avoiding the black pig monster, and then chopped it back with an axe.

The black pig monster pushed forward five or six times, but Dongling dodged them all, and was hit by more attacks. The angry black pig monster stood there confused: Why can't I push down the human who I pushed down easily last time this time?

The black pig monster could not hit the human, and the other pig monsters were the same. After a long battle, neither side could decide the winner. The pig king was supervising the battle from behind, and when he saw that he could not bite anyone, he racked his brains and could not figure out why the human had become more powerful than last time?

So it ran back to the pigsty and called for help: "My people, all of you, get up and help me defeat the humans."

It turned out that due to the cold weather, there were still three or four hundred pigs in the pig sty sleeping lazily. Now hearing the pig king's angry shout, they did not dare to neglect it and agreed, "Yes, my king." Then they hurriedly got up, followed the pig king to the battlefield and joined the battle.

There were more pigs than humans, and although humans were good at hunting, they could not withstand a group attack. Xiaoxing fought two pigs alone, but soon he could not hold on, so he said to Dong: "Brother Dong, the enemy is more numerous than us, let's retreat quickly."

Dong was also under increasing pressure from the two pigs, so he agreed and said, "Okay! Brothers, everyone, retreat quickly."

After saying that, he made a feint with his axe, and took advantage of the moment when the black pig demon was stunned, he turned around and ran away. Xi, Zhong, Chen, Yue, Shugen, etc., all heard what he said, and retreated while fighting, and then turned around and ran. Seeing that he didn't bite anyone, the pig king shouted angrily: "My people, I didn't bite anyone to death, hurry up and chase them."

The pigs got the order and started chasing. As they were running away, Yue, who was lagging behind, slipped and fell to the ground because of panic. Yue hurriedly got up, but he stepped on the ice again and fell again. The black and white pig spirits behind him saw this and quickly chased after him. Yue shouted for help: "Brother Xing, Brother Chen, come and save me!"

Xiaoxing and Chen heard the cry for help and turned around to see Yue falling on the snow more than ten feet away, and the black and white pig monster chasing him was less than ten feet away. Xiaoxing shouted anxiously: "Chen, let's go and save Yue!"

"Yes, Xing." Chen agreed, and the two immediately ran towards Yue.

Xiaoxing ran as fast as he could, but he couldn't run as fast as the black and white pig monsters. Seeing that they were about to catch up with Yue, Xiaoxing didn't have time to think about it and threw the stone knife in his hand at the black pig monster's head. Chen followed suit and threw the stone knife at the white pig monster.

The black and white pig demons were hit on the head by two stone knives respectively, and they could not help but stop. The black pig demon asked: "Who threw things at us?"

The White Pig looked up at Xiao Xing and Yue running ahead and replied, "Brother Black Pig, it must have been thrown by the two people who rescued us."

"Brother White Pig, we have to run faster, otherwise they will rescue us." said the black pig demon.

"Yes, Big Brother Hei." Upon hearing this, the White Pig Demon continued to chase after him.

Seeing that the black and white pig demon only stopped for a moment and then chased again, Xiaoxing was extremely anxious. He felt all over his body and found three sweet potatoes on his waist. It turned out that Hong'er was worried that Xiaoxing would be hungry outside, so every time he went out, he would let him carry a few sweet potatoes to satisfy his hunger. Xiaoxing took out two sweet potatoes and threw them at the black and white pig demons respectively. The black and white pig demons were hit again, and not only did they not feel pain, but they also smelled a fragrance, and they stopped involuntarily. The two pigs had not found food for several days because of the snow. When they found that what was thrown to them was a roasted sweet potato, their saliva immediately flowed three feet, so the two pig demons "grunted" and ate the sweet potatoes.

Xiaoxing and Chen took the opportunity to quickly run to Yue's side, helped Yue up, and just as they turned to run, the black and white pigs swallowed the sweet potato in two or three bites, and then quickly rushed towards the three people. At this time, the distance was less than three feet. Xiaoxing saw that the situation was urgent, so he threw the last sweet potato at the two pigs.

The black pig demon saw that there was food again and immediately lowered his head to look for it. The white pig demon was not happy and pushed the black pig demon aside with his mouth, and was about to grab it. The black pig demon did not give in and pushed the white pig demon away, shouting, "Brother Bai, this sweet potato is for me, why are you trying to grab it?"

"Brother Hei, this sweet potato was thrown towards us. Who said it was for you?" said the White Pig Demon unconvinced.

"Brother Bai, if I say it's mine, then it's mine." Relying on his height and strength, the black pig demon pushed the white pig demon aside with all his strength and snatched the sweet potato away.

Although the white pig demon was unwilling to accept it, it was helpless. Suddenly, it turned its head and looked at the three people running in front of it, and said to itself: "Why don't I catch up with them? Later, the sweet potato will be mine alone."

After the white pig demon finished speaking, he immediately chased after the three people again.

Xiaoxing and Chen pulled Yue and ran desperately. Soon they ran out of the swamp. Xiaoxing looked back and saw that except for the white pig spirit, the other pig spirits had stopped chasing. Xiaoxing couldn't help but stop and turned to ask the white pig spirit: "You stupid pig, why are you still chasing?"

"Hehe..." The white pig spirit panted and replied, "You humans are so biased. Why did you give the sweet potato to the black pig brother but not to me? You must give me another one today, otherwise, I will chase you all the way to your lair."
