Chapter 39 Preparing for War
After entering White Tiger City, there were many cultivators here, and Concubine Mo did not force the carriage into other people's dreams, but just galloped on the road.

After a while, they arrived at the gate of General Huwei's mansion.

The carriage stopped, Zhou Tieyi landed on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's so fast."

This is more than four times faster than going to Suzaku City.

"Thank you, Miss Mo Fei."

When Zhou Tieyi turned around to thank him, he saw Mo Fei with a sad and melancholy look on her face, as if she had a thousand words to say.

Concubine Mo hesitated and finally said, "Second brother of the Zhou family, remember to come and play often. Next time, ask Wenlang to drive you back."

After saying this, without waiting for Zhou Tieyi's answer, he drove the Yunxiang carriage back the same way.

Isn't this just making you make one more trip at night? Is there any need to be so complaining?
Zhou Tieyi couldn't help but sigh to his brother, "Is Concubine Mo's temperament changing so quickly?"

Wasn't she gentle and elegant before?
It must be that kid Hu Wenlang is used to exploiting Concubine Mo!
Zhou Tiege knew a little about Concubine Mo and said, "She is an elf from the book, without flesh and blood, so it is normal for her to have big mood swings."

Silent all night.

The second day, the wild world.

The bonfire was burning brightly, and the Buddha's light was shining everywhere, once again covering the west mountain for another mile or two.

But this time, there was no tiger roar coming from the mountains for a long time.

It looks like the war will start in the next day or two.

Zhou Tieyi said in his heart.

During this period, he has learned about the distribution of wild animals in the West Mountain through the witch.

First of all, in the four hundred miles of West Mountain, there is no beast more powerful than the tiger.

There were only two or three small wolf packs of more than ten people, two herds of more than ten wild boars, and several herds of deer and cattle of varying numbers. These were common animal groups that could be used as charging herds and posed little threat to the tribe that had prepared ravine traps.

The real threat is the monsters in the mountains!
There are mountain cliffs with claws that can easily lift skulls, water spirits that hide in the dark and can pull people into the water, tree people that move slowly but have strong bodies, and dream tapirs that are silent and can make people intoxicated...

These monsters have their own methods and are usually scattered throughout the mountains and forests. Only the mountain master can drive them out of the mountain by force.

However, you don't need to treat all wild beasts as enemies.

Zhou Tieyi's eyes were on the entire tribe's territory.

The fire pit where he was located was in the center of the entire tribe. It was a gentle hill no more than 30 meters high. With the fire pit as the center, the houses of the tribe extended outward. The outermost layer facing the west mountain had been dug with large and small pits. The pits were filled with sharp wooden thorns and covered with weeds and soil.

Behind the pit is a circle of mud walls that are one and a half meters high. This was built by the tribe in the past. There are holes in the mud walls, from which spears can be thrust out. Then there are eight built watchtowers, each of which can accommodate six people shooting arrows at the same time.

The defensive fortifications facing the West Mountain were indeed well done, but what if everyone's attention was attracted by the ferocious beast rushing out of the West Mountain?

Zhou Tieyi looked at the still frozen river surface. Given the tiger's intelligence, it would most likely try to attack the fire pit.

After all, I am His real prey.

However, this was exactly what he wanted. When arranging the defense, Zhou Tieyi specifically asked Wu to focus on defending the west mountain direction.

The tiger could indeed launch a roundabout attack, but it could only bring a small number of elite troops with it, and the movement of the large force could not be hidden from his perception of Xishan.

Zhou Tieyi was also happy to let the tiger launch a surprise attack, because as long as the master of West Mountain was killed, the attack of the beasts would be defeated.

The tribe can indeed resist the beast tide, but they also have to consider the casualties. There are a total of 443 people. The death of three people a few days ago already made Zhou Tieyi heartbroken. This is not a game where people can grow out of the ground after being idle for two days.

Even though the people of the Manghuang tribe are born with strong physiques, it still takes at least twelve or thirteen years for them to become combatants from birth. "How are the arrangements for the women and children going?"

Zhou Tieyi asked Wu.

Wu bowed his head respectfully and replied, "According to your instructions, children under the age of twelve and women who are more than three months pregnant, a total of 170 people, have already hidden in the cellar."

Autumn is the peak period for pregnancy in the tribe so that newborns can avoid the harsh winter.

Then the witch asked, "God, we have no defenses on this side of the river. What if the mountain master leads his elite troops to attack from the frozen river..."

"I just want Him to attack from this side of the river!"

Zhou Tieyi sneered and said that if the mountain master did not attack from the frozen river, it would cause considerable losses to the tribe. He remembered that the witch said that the tiger could temporarily summon fog.

"You arrange for an elite force of thirty men to guard the fire pit for the next two days."

Wu rarely objected to Zhou Tieyi's risky proposal, "Yes, I will lead the team to garrison there myself."

In these two days, Zhou Tieyi looked at the strong men who were offering sacrifices in front of him. The shapes of ferocious beasts around the clouds above their heads became more and more obvious. Also, many of them had a layer of gray on their heads, just like Ah Da before he went on the stage.

At the edge of the Xishan Mountains, when Zhou Tieyi once again converted the Xishan earth veins, a pair of golden vertical pupils lit up in the dark forest, and glanced coldly in the direction of the tribe.

Then the white tiger's huge body shuttled around the edge of the mountain, as if looking for something.

After a while, in front of a towering cypress tree, the white tiger found dozens of scratches that could dig into the heart of the tree. He sniffed again and found that it was indeed the smell of the bear.

The bear that challenged him as the Lord of West Mountain and ran away after he blinded one of its eyes.

At the beginning, Baihu was unable to keep and kill the bear, which was also a mountain spirit, so naturally he did not expect to be able to command the other party as the master of the mountain now.

That bear has been lingering on the edge of West Mountain. Isn't it waiting to take revenge on me and compete for the position of the lord of West Mountain?

The white tiger walked around the surrounding trees several times, and the wounds on his hind legs, which had already healed, oozed blood and fell around.

After the white tiger disappeared for a long time, a huge brown bear, nearly six meters long, walked slowly from the woods outside the West Mountain. However, it seemed as if only a line could be seen and it did not go into the edge of the West Mountain at all.

As usual, the brown bear was ready to sharpen his claws.

Suddenly, its originally lazy single eye became sharp and fierce, and then it lay on the ground carefully, and its dark nose searched among the dead branches and leaves for a while.

The fresh, pungent smell of tiger blood conveys rich information.

The tiger was injured and its breath weakened a lot!
The brown bear suddenly raised its head and looked towards the West Mountain with a human-like, covetous look.

As a spirit born from Xishan, it can only be complete if it controls Xishan.

The bear's claws tentatively stepped into the territory of Xishan and into the invisible red line. After a moment, the brown bear felt the current atmosphere of Xishan.

It was a solemn and chaotic collection of information.

Every animal in the mountain was being chased by the mad tiger.

For the owner of Xishan Mountain, there are only two possibilities in this situation.

One is that the mountain owner is about to become pregnant and give birth, and the second is that the mountain owner is in great danger.

Either way, it's a good thing for brown bears.

It slowly stepped into the territory of Xishan.
