Chapter 21: (22) Fight

Night came for them

Raindrops fell to the roof of their shelters. Everyone looked outside of their doors, but they heard Zhou Qing shouting.

"Everyone don't leave your houses! 

This is another world and we can't be sure if the rain is safe! "

They immediately closed their doors and hid inside. He is right, it hasn't rained for weeks now and this world is different from theirs.

As the rain continues to hit hard, a soft growling could be heard outside.

Everyone trembled at the sound and quickly prepared their weapons.

Jiang Yin Yue wore her clam armor and her spear. Similarly, Song Nuan got his shield and club.

The soft growling continued until it stopped. 

They waited for some hours before the rain finally stopped. 

"Stay quiet, let's wait here until it's morning" 

Zhou Qing whispered to them. Zhao Xiu and her team are also at the side, they just visited to join the feast they usually have at night.

No one managed to sleep.

Midnight

Soft growling occasionally appeared and also scratching sounds on the wall. 

They are still highly alert, suddenly a loud sound of falling lag sounded not far from them. It is the sound of one of their traps for intruders being activated, but even so, no one dared to whisper.

Morning eventually came.

"Everyone, behind me" 

Song Nuan exit the house with his shield in front of him and everyone follows him with their weapons.

Not far, there is also everyone coming out of their shelters with others carrying shields to protect everyone.

"Those are wolf tracks!" 

Someone from the animal group pointed at the vague tracks on the wet soil.

People from the animal group feel surprised, they never saw anything big in the forest by the times they always search there.

"Wolves? Everyone, guard the food and water, we are going to investigate the traps."

Zhou Qing feel alarmed at the development of things. 

He immediately ordered everyone to postpone their usual resource gathering and rather plan to defend the area and create traps and defense.

He then went to the traps with Jiang Wang Shue and Jiang Yin Yue together with some people

They soon arrived at the traps and the scene surprised them.

Hanging tied by the thick vine is a creature new to them. 

"It doesn't look like a wolf at all"

Everyone gossip among themselves

The beast is still struggling on the vines. It is the size of a human with a muscular body, it is also quadruple and possesses 2 horns twisted like a drill, a long snout, and a long whip-like tail. Its Back has 6 long sharp spikes growing on it.

It growled at them, the same growl they heard last night.

They all backed down then they saw it about to sweep its claws.

"Let's return, we can't kill it right now"

Jiang Wang Shue suggested and they all agree.

They backed down and retreated, but they didn't leave their eyes on the beast, afraid that it will escape and pounce at them once they turn away.

Soon they arrived back at their base.

"What is it?"

Chen Huan, Song Nuan, and everyone surrounded them.

They then explained what they saw

"That can't possibly be the only one..."

Chen Huan said with a look of uncertainty

"We feared too, we need to go now and execute the plan ahead of time or we can defend our home"

Zhou Qing said with seriousness in his voice

"But this is our home, we can't possibly leave this place without a fight!"

Song Nuan answered and everyone have the same feeling

"Yes! We are not cowards we will fight!"

Someone shouted

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" 

Everyone erupted with adrenaline in their blood. 

Zhou Qing and the select few feel conflicted. They didn't want to split the group, but they have more future on the other side

"Ok! But this is the plan, we will fight for 1 night, but if we can't defend our home in one night then prepare everything and we will cross that water"

Zhou Qing said with seriousness

This made everyone silent

"Is there really no hope?"

Jiang Yin Yue asked.

"There is, but do you want to leave the competition without being able to walk to the other side? You saw one of those things, do you think we can defend ourselves against a whole group of those?" 

He's starting to lose it, then he took a breath with a glint in his eyes

"Fine, we will fight

Brother Huan, one of the creatures trapped might give us the right equipment from the materials its body will give us"

Seeing their leader finally made his mind to fight boosted their morale

"I can"

Chen Huan nodded repeatedly

"Good, everyone, bring all the spears we have, we are going to harvest some materials

Also, bring the shields, we will need them"

With that command, everyone goes to work.

At this point, they are not fellow disciples, they are now brothers and sisters in arms. 

"We will succeed"

Chen Huan slapped his shoulder and give a smile before going.

"You are our leader, wherever you go, we will go"

Jiang Wang Shue also slapped his shoulders

"I decided, you're my boss now after this competition"

And so the annoying Song

"I might be able to help you go after Zhao Xiu"

Jiang Yin Yue winked at him 

Zhou Qing can't help but sigh

Soon everything was prepared and they began marching to the still trapped beast.

"Ready the shields and protect everyone from the claw! "

Zhou Qing shouted 

They formed a circle with the shields facing the beast. It roared and slashed. The incredible forces sent 3 men backward, but they still held their positions.

"Forward! Aim for the eyes!"

The beast continues to struggle hard, but because most of its strength and stamina were already exhausted there is nothing It can do to resist.

The skin of the creature is incredibly tough and broke so many spears.

It opened its mouth to roar, but that is when a disciple took this opportunity and stabbed it on the mouth and directly went in and it stopped moving.

They all cheered and some even kicked the beast.

Looking at the broken spears and 3 broken shields hurt the heart of Chen Huan

"Check of it is really dead"

Song Nuan said to Jiang Yin Yue who's about to lower the vine.

"Sure" 

She shrugged her shoulders before stabbing it on the eyes and the spear going to the other eyes

They all sigh a sigh of relief

"Now, Brother Huan, do you think you can process these spikes?" 

Zhou Qing pointed at the incredibly sharp spikes on its back

"I can, but we can only equip 6 people with spikes

The bones can be used to make stronger clubs, the claws will make for good spearheads and the tail can be turned into a whip which will be very effective. The horns too will make for good spears.

The hide can make for excellent defensive items."

Chen Huan said and Zhou Qing is satisfied with that.

"Everyone let's get to work!"

And with that, they dragged the corpse to their base to start dissection.

Looking at the dangling thing on the stomach of the beast, Chen Huan and the others can't help but feel envious.

"Stop staring and just cut it already"

Song Nuan sits on the side with a sharpened shell knife. 

He stabbed it on the stomach, but it required so much force just to slice a hole

The other guys stopped staring and helped him. Others pulled the 2 sides of the cut skin while 2 are cutting the skin on the stomach.

While they are cutting the beast, others are not idling either. They are cutting trees and putting trip vines and holes all over the ground so the beasts can't run properly, it's like how ancient people used to dig holes to trip horses.

Of course, those are not proper holes if they don't have sharp things at the bottom. Small thick pieces of clamshells are deeply stabbed on the sides of the holes with the tip pointed downwards so it will be harder to pull your legs without injury once you fell. These are the ideas of Wang An and the others. The holes are placed close to each other and covered by a thin layer of a leaf with a thin layer of soil to conceal the holes. Snares made of vines were also placed on top of the holes. The animal group really did put their skills on the test.

Foods are also being prepared in case of the worse scenario where they have to escape.

Time passed and it's only meat hours before night.

"It's cutting easily and it's not even sharpened!"

Chen Huan exclaimed at the sight, he cut the same skin using the claw of the beast and it cut much easier.

Beside him are 6 long-headed spears.

Instead of 1 wood, they instead used 3 to tightly hold on to the spine part of the spike. The three woods are tightly tied and even the whole shaft is covered by the vine for better grip.

The whip is also there with small shards of sharp clamshells on it to inflict pain.

There are 6 knives and 6 spears from the claws.

The bones were surprisingly very durable and there is a lot of them. The ribs can be turned into armor, but they don't have time, and bone clubs need no preparation at all, just get a bone and it's done. 

The horns are impossible to remove from the skull and thus turn into something akin to a shield with 2 horns.

The jaws which can be separated into two was turned into two knives. 

The flesh and organs are all discarded, they don't know if they are edible or not, and it is not the time to experiment.

Soon night finally set.

Huge campfires are everywhere and effectively lighting up the entire place. There are huge stocks of thick woods that the fires can freely feed on for hours.

Growlingwase soon heard

The fight is about to begin
