Traveling back to ancient times to determine the zodiac

Seeing this, the dog-headed military advisor next to him stepped forward and said to Emperor Nian, "Emperor Nian, show how powerful you are and how majestic you are. Do you see that big tree next to you? Pull it up now and show it to the people."

When Emperor Nian heard this, he looked around and saw a two-foot-thick pine tree. He shouted, "What Doghead said is right. Let them see how powerful I am."

After saying that, it jumped off the horse, twisted its body, and wrapped its long tail around the pine tree three times. Then it exerted all its strength and pulled the pine tree up by the roots. Then it swung it violently, and the tree and the soil together smashed towards the crowd.

This big pine tree was lush and leafy, weighing at least a thousand pounds. Seeing the Nian beast's power, everyone was stunned.

The people screamed in disbelief: "Oh my God! The Nian beast is so strong, it must weigh at least five thousand kilograms."

Xiao Xing was also shocked and shouted, "Fuck, Brother Xia, I think the Nian Beast's strength is off the charts, at least 10,000 pounds."

Although Dong was brave, he was too shocked to say anything. Xi said in panic, "Brother Dong, the Nian beast is so powerful. If we can't defeat it, I'm afraid we're finished."

"Xi, the war hasn't started yet, so don't be so discouraged." Dong scolded Xi.

When the tree fell, everyone hurriedly dodged in all directions. Two of them who were slower on their feet were pinned to the ground by the tree, howling and screaming, unable to move. The rest of the people rushed over to rescue them.

Seeing people in such a panic, Emperor Nian and his subordinates, including pigs, dogs, horses, rats, and chickens, all laughed out loud.

The dog-headed military advisor asked proudly: "You people who boast of being 'human gods', now you should understand how powerful Emperor Nian is, right? If you are smart, you should admit defeat and surrender to Emperor Nian immediately, otherwise you will suffer a catastrophic disaster."

Qiu was busy directing the rescue and had no time to answer. Xiao Xing, who was standing beside him, was furious. He pointed at the Nian Beast with his eyes wide open and said sternly, "You stupid beasts are so proud of your own brute force. It's really ridiculous. Now, I will let you see how powerful our weapons are. Do you still dare to be so arrogant?"

After Xiaoxing finished speaking, he took a strong bow from his back and a sharp arrow from his waist bag. He looked up and saw two hungry eagles circling in the sky, looking for food. They kept calling out, "Hungry, hungry!" Xiaoxing drew his bow and shot at the eagles. With a "bang" sound of the bowstring, one of the hungry eagles fell headfirst, right in front of Emperor Nian's horse. The other hungry eagle was so frightened that its feathers almost fell off its body. It panicked and hurriedly flew away.

"You monsters, did you see that? I advise you to retreat quickly and never attack humans again. Otherwise, you will die in an instant like this eagle. Then I will peel off your skin and roast your meat." Xiaoxing pointed his bow at the dead eagle and spoke sternly to Emperor Nian.

Except for Emperor Nian, other beasts such as rats, chickens, dogs, pigs, and horses, saw Xiaoxing's magical skills, and their smiles instantly froze, and they were all stunned. You know, the most powerful animals in the animal kingdom, including the Nian beast, do not have such a long-range killing power. Therefore, they dare not underestimate humans anymore.

Emperor Nian was not impressed by this and said indifferently: "Humph! It's just killing a little eagle. How can such a petty trick scare me? You are an overconfident fellow. If you don't surrender quickly, I will start to eat."

"Xing, stop talking nonsense with them. Watch me shoot an arrow through the head of the Nian Beast." The irritable Xia impatiently bent his bow and drew his arrow, aiming at the head of Emperor Nian and yelled, "You monster, don't be so arrogant, watch out for the arrow!"

Two arrows flew towards Emperor Nian.

The Nian Emperor sneered, without dodging or evading. The two arrows hit its forehead perfectly, but it fell to the ground without any damage. It turned out that after tens of thousands of years of cultivation, the Nian Beast's skin had become as thick as armor, so it was impossible for the arrows to penetrate it.

Emperor Nian shook his head and said, "Little monkey, this thing can only tickle me. Come on, shoot two more arrows at my butt."

"Oh my God, this monster has thick skin and flesh, and the arrow can't penetrate it." He threw the bow away in frustration.

"You monkey-like humans, you have finished your show, now let me show you how powerful I am." The Nian Beast shouted, and then turned to the Rat King and ordered: "Rat King, lead your rat army and come to me quickly. Now is your chance to make a contribution. If you defeat the humans, I will exempt you from the grain service and give you a generous reward."

"As ordered." Although the Rat King was timid and afraid, he was intimidated by the tyranny of Emperor Nian and had no choice but to give the order, "All rat soldiers and generals, begin to attack humans."

Immediately, the rat spirits and rat soldiers swarmed up and rushed towards the people.

The Nian Emperor had completely lost his bestiality and ordered his dog-headed military advisor and pig-headed guards to attack together, while the rooster and the horse king watched from behind.

The Nian beast rushed towards people with unstoppable force. The impact force of tens of thousands of pounds plus its thick and long sharp horns were so terrifying that people were terrified at the sight of it.

Qiu and the others lifted up the pine tree and rescued the two hunters. Seeing that Emperor Nian had ordered an attack, Qiu also quickly ordered everyone to pick up their weapons and start fighting.

Those rat kings and rat spirits had already fought a battle last time and had no attack power. The most terrifying ones were the Nian beast, the Pig King and the Dog King.

Qiu raised his spear and ordered loudly: "All warriors, listen up: These beast kings are very powerful. Everyone, go all out and try to destroy them in one fell swoop. Now, Zhi and I will lead the East, South, West, North, Middle, Lower, Star, Front, Back... and other 20 people to deal with the Nian beast; Ling will lead Chen and Yue, Ri, Feng, Yun, Lei, Dian, Yu, Sha and others to deal with the Dog King; Ping will lead Jiang, He, Hu, Hai, Shugen, Shuye, Heizi (Heizi's injury has healed), Guoer and others to deal with the Pig King; Sang, Tong, Yang, Liu and all other warriors will deal with the Rat King and the Rat Spirit."

"Yes! Cave Master." Everyone agreed, quickly formed a team, and split up to meet the enemy.

Except for Xing, all members of Qiu's group were experienced, brave and good at fighting. They held stone knives, stone axes, spears and sticks, stared at the Nian beast, and prepared to fight to the death.

"Everyone, come on!" Qiu raised his spear, led the charge, and shouted as he rushed towards the Nian beast.

Twenty people rushed forward, starting with Nan, Bei, Zhong, Qian, Hou, Lu and others who used sticks. They raised their sticks as thick as wine glasses and hit the Nian beast hard on the head. The Nian beast lowered its head and used its two long horns to hold the sticks, then raised them violently and swung them away. Nan, Bei and others felt their palms go numb, and their sticks were almost swung away.

The attack on the head failed, and several spearmen including Qiu Hezhi, Chuan, Teng, Mu, Du, Gui, and Gu surrounded the Nian beast and thrust their spears and javelins into its neck and abdomen. They bent their spears with all their might, but they were unable to hurt the beast at all.

The Nian beast twisted its body and swept towards the people with its long tail with great force.

"Everyone retreat quickly!" Qiu shouted and retreated quickly.

In a flash, Qiu, Zhi, Chuan, and Du managed to escape. However, Mu, Gui, and Gu were hit by a huge club and flew several feet away. They vomited blood and fell into a coma.

Dong saw that several people were injured at once, and he was so anxious that his yellow beard stood up. He roared like thunder: "Nian beast, go to hell!" He jumped up and swung the axe at the head of the Nian beast with all his strength.

When the Nian Beast heard this, it turned around and fought with the East. There were two loud noises, "Pa-" and "Ka-". Everyone looked carefully and found that the first noise was the stone axe hitting the root of the Nian Beast's horn. The second noise was the sound of the axe handle breaking.

Dong's stone axe had a force of at least a thousand pounds, but the Nian beast was still unharmed. It opened its bloody mouth and was about to swallow Dong in one gulp.

"Nian beast, we will fight you!" Xi shouted and rushed over waving his stone knife. Xia, Xiaoxing, Shi, and Tu also rushed over waving their stone knives and axes, and chopped fiercely at the head and neck of the Nian beast.

Although the swords and axes of the crowd were sharp, they were like chopping at thousand-year-old trees, and still could not hurt the Nian beast at all.

The Nian beast gave up trying to eat Dong, took two steps back, and waved its long horns to attack Xi and the others. Dong took this opportunity to turn around and run away.

Xihexia and Shi retreated quickly when they saw the situation was not good. It was too late for Xiaoxing to retreat. In a hurry, he threw away his stone knife and grabbed one of the giant horns of the Nian beast with both hands. Tu, who was standing next to him, was hit in the abdomen by another giant horn. Then the Nian beast shook its head, and Xiaoxing and Tu were thrown two meters away.

"Xing——" Xia screamed, and quickly ran to Xiaoxing's side, helped him up, and asked: "Xing, how are you? Are you okay?"

Xiao Xing just fell down and was not injured. He touched his butt and replied, "Brother Xia, I'm fine."

After Xiaoxing finished speaking, he struggled to get up.

When he turned his head to look at the ground again, he saw a big hole in his abdomen with his intestines exposed. His injury was very serious.

"Tu, you are seriously injured. Let's rescue you and take you back to the cave." He squatted down, lifted Tu's head, and was about to carry him back with Xiaoxing.

"Brother Xia, I can't do it anymore!" Tu waved his hands weakly and said, "Don't worry about me, help the cave master to defeat the Nian beast and avenge me."

He turned around to look at the Nian Beast, then at Tu, and had no choice but to put him down, saying, "Tu, hold on for now. We will come to rescue you after we defeat the Nian Beast."

The Nian beast was invulnerable to swords and spears. It had two long horns and charged towards the crowd. Qiu Ji ordered everyone to retreat.

"Cave Master, the beasts these years have thick skin and flesh, and are invulnerable to swords and guns! What should we do?" Dong had never encountered such prey before, and he screamed in despair.

"Cave Master, based on my fifty years of hunting experience, the Nian beast is indeed extraordinary and too powerful." Zhi shouted.

"Dong, Zhi, everyone, fight and retreat while I think of a way to deal with it." Qiu stared at the Nian beast, his brain working at high speed.

After a long standoff, everyone was still helpless and retreated step by step, keeping a safe distance of six or seven meters from the Nian beast.

The Nian beast screamed, "You monkey-like human, you actually dare to fight with me, the emperor? Give me your life!"

Lao Chuan looked at the arrogant Nian Beast and couldn't help but yelled, "Damn Nian Beast, go to hell with you!"

After Lao Chuan finished speaking, he tapped the ground with his long stick, did a pole vault, and leaped over without hesitation. He actually rode on the back of the Nian beast, then drew the stone knife at his waist and desperately chopped at the neck of the Nian beast.

Lao Chuan had just chopped twice when the Nian beast swung its tail and swept him back more than ten meters, knocking him unconscious.

"Brother Chuan——" Qiu Hezhi shouted and rushed over to save Chuan. The two men helped Chuan up and called out loudly, but Chuan remained motionless.

The Nian beast defeated another person and laughed triumphantly. After laughing, it shouted arrogantly: "Humans who are like monkeys are so vulnerable. Let me have a taste first."

After the Nian Beast finished speaking, it rushed straight towards Qiu Hezhi and the others.

"Cave Master, Uncle Zhi, the Nian beast is attacking, run!" Dong shouted hurriedly.

"It's over, it's over, Cave Master—" Xi cried out regretfully.

Qiu was pressing down on Chuan when he heard people shouting. He looked back and saw that Nian was close at hand. It was too late to run. At this critical moment, an arrow shot towards Nian and hit its left eye.

It was Xiaoxing who shot the arrow. Seeing that everyone had no idea what to do with the Nian Beast, Xiaoxing muttered to himself, "The Nian Beast is stubborn, we must find its weakness." He stared at the Nian Beast and quickly started thinking. "Oh, I got it." He frowned, and a plan came to his mind. He slapped his head and said, "The Nian Beast's body is as strong as steel, but its eyes are fragile."

So he immediately bent his bow and shot an arrow at the Nian beast's eye, which was as big as a copper bell, just in time to save Qiu Hezhi and Chuan.

Although the body of the Nian Beast was made of copper and iron, its eyes were indeed very fragile. The arrow shot out its eyeballs, and blood immediately flowed all over its face. The Nian Beast screamed in pain and stopped attacking.
