Chapter 42 The Beast is Coming
The stones cleared from the cave before, the wood cut in the past two days, the firewood pile picked up, behind the big iron pot, the wheelbarrow, behind the tree where the tent is tied, etc., can all be used as shelters.

The villagers were either lying down or squatting, and even though they were so nervous and frightened that their bodies couldn't help shaking, they still tried to hold the weapons in their hands tightly to calm themselves down.

They kept repeating in their hearts that their family members were right behind them, their aunt was right behind them, and if they didn’t live up to their expectations and failed to protect their aunt, they would not be able to face their ancestors in the underworld…

When the people of the Burt tribe saw this, they laughed wildly and mocked the villagers in a clumsy way. They liked to watch these two-legged sheep struggling in despair.

"It's useless, you two-legged sheep, if you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you."

"Look at you guys, you're shaking like drowned dogs..."

"Our warriors are the most powerful eagles on the grassland. They are brave and invincible. Your army dares not to meet us. We..."

People who can still show half of their body and half of their head when hiding, even if they have sophisticated crossbows in their hands, are like children's toys that can only be looked at but not used.

Speaking of which, the people of Jin are rich. The fences and ropes used by these two-legged sheep to drive away the beasts are all made of exquisite iron tools, and there are also those bows and crossbows that look very exquisite.

But what's the use? It just stops them for a moment.

These things, like these two-legged sheep, will eventually belong to the warriors of their Burt tribe.

Bai Tao was also carried into the cave by Bai Chunhua, but she ignored the persuasion and obstruction of everyone in the cave and came to the cave entrance.

Seeing these barbarians start to dismantle the steel coils, Bai Tao ordered the villagers to shoot freely to interfere and stop them, and then shouted at Lao Heitou who was not far from the cave entrance.

"Have you sprinkled the powder I gave you before?"

"Spread it." Old Blackhead didn't understand, but he still shouted back at the same time as he shot the crossbow arrow.

The villagers didn’t have much combat experience after all, and the little experience they had came from dealing with the tigers, black bears, and wild boars that had burst into the melee yesterday.

But shooting wild animals is different from shooting people. Many people felt the bows and crossbows in their nervous hands become heavy, their breathing became heavier, and their faces became paler.

Seeing this, Bai Dashan shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone cheer up, there are no cowards in Taohua Village."

"Behind us are our parents, wives and children. We have never seen or heard of the barbarians burning, killing and looting. Today, either they die or we die."

"My aunt is watching us from behind. We can't let her down."

"Everyone, take aim. Kill one to break even. Kill two to make a profit..."

Due to the interference of crossbows from Taohua Village, the people of the Burt tribe were extremely slow in dismantling the wire mesh, and some were even injured by crossbows because they were not paying attention.

Just when they were furious and ready to abandon some slave laborers and kill some villagers, they saw two crossbow arrows shot out from the cave entrance one after another and hit the steel barbed fence behind the steel wire ring, followed by a third crossbow arrow.

The Hu people surrounded them in three directions, one for each direction.

This crossbow arrow is different from other crossbow arrows. It has a small bag tied to the tail. When the crossbow arrow hits the ground, it explodes immediately and light green liquid splashes out.

A few minutes later, tiger roars, wolf howls, and beast roars were heard one after another.

When the people of the Burt tribe were attacked by the beasts in the bushes one after another, they could no longer look at the people of Taohua Village as if they were ants. There was no more arrogant grin on their faces, only fear and panic. They shouted and chattered, and kept aiming their machetes, axes, and crossbows at the beasts in the bushes.

But there are too many of them, and there are ferocious beasts everywhere.

Black bears, wild wolves, big cats, lynxes and leopards… There was only one big cat on a hill, unless it was a male and a female, but at this moment, there were three or four of them appearing to attack them.

These beasts bared their teeth and drooled, their red eyes filled with ferocity and madness.

At this time the wild beasts were extremely good at cooperating with each other, pouncing, grabbing, sweeping, gnawing, pulling and biting. In just two or three minutes, more than twenty people of the Burt tribe were killed or injured.

It's broad daylight now, and we suddenly encounter so many wild beasts, especially different kinds, gathering together and attacking crazily. It's simply against common sense.

Soon, the people of the Burt tribe reacted and looked at the crossbow arrow that exploded with light green liquid. They shouted something angrily.

Before shooting the three crossbow arrows, Bai Tao shouted to the people of Taohua Village to be on guard, and no matter whether it was the barbarians from the Burt tribe or wild beasts that broke through the steel wire coil, they must be shot to death with crossbow arrows.

Seeing this scene, the people of Taohua Village were both surprised and happy. Bite, yes, bite them to death, these damn Hu people.

At the entrance of the cave, Bai Chunhua looked at Bai Tao beside her, her eyes full of astonishment. It turned out that the crossbow arrow that her aunt asked her to shoot was hung with animal-luring potion.

No wonder my aunt kept muttering to herself just now, she depends on them.

When Bai Tao saw this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she finally caught up.

The animal attracting potion is made by dissolving concentrated animal attracting powder. The reason why it can attract these wild beasts so quickly is actually the effect of the traps set up by Lao Heitou and others before.

Bai Tao was merely using concentrated animal attractant powder to lure the wild beasts heading towards the trap to attack these Hu people. After all, the Hu people were blocking the wild beasts' way towards the animal attractant potion.

Now the people of the Burt tribe are like a sandwich. They have to resist the attacks of wild beasts, and also beware of sneak attacks from the people of Taohua Village behind them. They have no time to deal with it.

However, they were obviously overthinking it. When the beasts started attacking the people of the Burt tribe, Bai Tao called on the villagers to stop and asked them to keep a close eye on them and shoot arrows to stop them when the Hu people tried to break free from the steel coils and cross the barbed wire fence.

You must be kidding. While these beasts are fighting with the barbarians, the people of Taohua Village are the ones who reap the benefits.

It’s not that there were no people from the Burt tribe who tried desperately to shake off the wild beasts and enter the Taohua Village camp. Even a fool could see that these wild beasts were attracted by the people of Taohua Village.

But turning your back to the beast at this time is simply seeking death. Not to mention turning your back, even if you turn around, or even if you raise your hand half a second slower, you may get a piece of your flesh torn off.

The people of the Burt tribe were filled with regret, despair, and anger. If they had rested and left, if they had not come to the trail to cause trouble for these despicable two-legged sheep, if...

In just twelve or thirteen minutes, only a dozen or so people were left out of the more than one hundred Hu people.

The incomplete sets of armor they were wearing were already in tatters, and they were covered in wounds and were on the verge of collapse.

At this time, Bai Tao nodded, and Bai Chunhua, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly loaded three crossbow arrows and shot them one after another at the place where the animal-luring powder had just been thrown.
