Traveling back to ancient times to determine the zodiac

"Xing, this monster is invulnerable to swords and guns. We can't do anything to it. What should we do?" Feng asked helplessly.

"If we can't defeat the egg-eating lizard, Dapeng won't cooperate with us. Brothers, let's quickly think of a plan to deal with it." Xiaoxing gathered everyone to discuss.

"The egg-eating lizard's defense and combat power are comparable to the Nian beast. It is indeed not easy to defeat it in a short time." Chen said.

"We are not even afraid of the Nian beast, so why would we be afraid of this lizard spirit?" Lei shouted.

"Ouch!" Dong groaned and said, "It's a pity that I was injured, otherwise I would have cut off the head of this lizard monster and roasted its meat for food."

"Brother Dong, brothers, I have an idea!" When Xiao Xing heard Dong talking about barbecue, he couldn't help but think of fire, so he said to everyone: "This lizard spirit is so naughty, why don't we use fire to attack it? I don't believe it can withstand fire."

"Yes, use fire, roast it and eat it directly." When Shugen heard that there was something to eat, he immediately raised his hands in agreement.

"Brother, this monster's meat is rough and coarse, I guess it doesn't taste good." Ye Zi said with a pout.

"Brother Leaf, no matter whether it tastes good or not, we need to defeat it first. Now everyone go and find dry branches and firewood, and then light a fire together and attack." Xiaoxing ordered.

"Got it, Xing." After receiving the order, everyone scattered to look for firewood.

Dapeng saw everyone leaving and thought that humans were going back helplessly because of failure, so he screamed even more miserably. The egg-eating lizard looked up and laughed wildly: "Incompetent humans, you are like an ant trying to shake a tree, and you still want to stand up for Dapeng. Now you know how powerful this lizard spirit is, right?"

"Hey! You damn lizard spirit, run away now, or I'll turn you into a fire egg lizard." Suddenly, a loud shout interrupted its laughter.

The egg-eating lizard opened its eyes and was immediately surprised. The humans who had just left had actually climbed back onto the boulder, and each of them was holding a torch in their hands, which was burning with a crackling sound.

The egg-eating lizard took two steps back, still shouting indifferently: "Humph, incompetent defeated general, do you think I'm afraid of you just because you hold a torch?"

"You damn lizard monster, it's still not too late for you to admit defeat. Otherwise, you will have no way to escape." Xiaoxing shouted.

"Xing, stop talking nonsense with this beast. Brothers, let's go together." After Chen said that, he raised the torch and rushed forward.

Although the egg-eating lizard had thick scales, it was still a flesh and blood body after all. When it was burned by the torch, it jumped up immediately due to the heat, and then swept its tail hammer towards Chen.

Chen had been prepared and dodged quickly. The others followed suit and burned the egg-eating lizard with torches, burning it all over. The egg-eating lizard struggled desperately, but its flailing tail could not reach anyone.

The egg-eating lizard retreated step by step, and the people pressed on. Suddenly, the egg-eating lizard missed a step and almost fell off the cliff. It turned out that it had retreated to the edge of the cliff. It couldn't win the fight, and it had no way to retreat. Finally, the egg-eating lizard was afraid and begged for mercy: "Awesome human, I admit defeat, please spare me!"

"You damn lizard monster, weren't you so arrogant just now? Now you're begging for mercy. We won't spare you." Xi roared and threw the torch in his hand at the egg-eating lizard's head.

An arc of fire reflected in the egg-eating lizard's small eyes, scaring it so much that it rolled off the cliff, then limped away in panic, with its tail between its legs.

"Hahaha! You damn lizard monster, you finally realize how powerful we are!" Xi laughed.

"You damn lizard monster, if you dare to come and steal eggs next time, I will kill you without mercy." Xiaoxing warned.

"Great human, next time I will never come to steal Dapeng's eggs even if I starve to death." The egg-eating lizard didn't dare to look back and hurried away.

Finally defeating the egg-eating lizard, Xiaoxing asked Dapeng for help again: "Dapeng, we have defeated the egg-eating lizard, and it will never dare to come again. Now it's your turn to help us defeat the rooster, right?"

"Thank you, great human, thank you so much!" Dapeng ran to its nest from the other side of the boulder, only to see a nest full of more than ten eggs, only three were left after being eaten by the egg-eating lizard. Dapeng said to Xiaoxing with sadness and gratitude: "Thank you for helping me defeat the egg-eating lizard, otherwise, all my eggs would have been eaten by it. I promise you, I will do my best to defeat the rooster and eliminate the Year Emperor."

"Great!" Xiaoxing shouted happily, "Dapeng, in that case, let's go!"

"Okay, let's go now." Dapeng agreed.

"Dapeng, are you going alone? Can't you call a few more to help?" Dong remembered that the last time he asked the beasts to help, they all came in a group.

"Powerful human, our Dapeng family is often persecuted by Emperor Nian because we don't want to be slaves to Emperor Nian, and we have to hide everywhere. Our family is small to begin with, and it is difficult to gather all the birds to obey your orders at once." Dapeng sighed helplessly.

"Dapeng, it turns out that you also have a grudge against the Nian beast. Now we share the same hatred and enemy, and we must work together to defeat the Nian beast." Xiaoxing said.

"Powerful humans, you are the only ones who dare to resist Emperor Nian. You are truly great!" Dapeng was full of admiration.

At that moment, Dapeng and the others returned together. Dong was injured, so they carried him along the way. After walking for two days, they returned to the camp by the Bijiang River.

Since Xiaoxing and the others left, Zhi had been looking forward to their early return. At noon one day, Zhi was looking out on the road again, and suddenly saw Xiaoxing, Chen and others returning with Dapeng. He hurriedly called Hong'er, Lan'er and others to greet them, and when he saw Xiaoxing, he asked, "Xing, you are finally back! Did you invite Dapeng?"

"Uncle Zhi, look, this giant bird is the Dapeng." Xiaoxing replied, pointing at the Dapeng behind him.

"Great!" Zhi heard that Shengli invited Dapeng over, and finally put his heart at ease. He asked, "Xing, how is everyone? Is everyone okay?"

"Uncle Zhi, except for Brother Dong who was injured, everyone else is fine." Xiaoxing replied.

"Dong, how did you get injured? Is it serious?" Zhi hurried forward to check on Dong who was being carried by everyone, and asked with concern.

"Uncle Zhi, when we found Wanjun Mountain, we happened to encounter a huge monster, the egg-eating lizard, which was trying to steal Dapeng's eggs. In order to ask Dapeng to come out of the mountain to help, we decided to help it defeat the egg-eating lizard. The egg-eating lizard has thick and hard scales that cannot be cut by a knife. There is a tumor on its tail, like a sledgehammer. During the attack, I was hit by its tail hammer and was injured. But it doesn't matter, I'll be fine after a few days of rest." Dong replied.

"Dong, Xing, you have fulfilled your mission and thank you for your hard work!" Zhi said gratefully.

"Uncle Zhi, as long as we can defeat the rooster and eliminate the Nian beast, we will have no complaints no matter how hard it is." Dong said.

"Uncle Zhi, now that Dapeng has been invited here, let's discuss the most important business. How should we attack next?" Xiaoxing asked.

"Xing, what do you think?"

"In my opinion, we need to cut down some wood to make a raft, and then take Dapeng with us on the raft to attack. If the rooster still resists, Dapeng will deal with it." Xiaoxing told the plan he had already planned.

"Well, okay, let's proceed according to your plan." Zhi nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

So he sent people to the west mountain to cut wood and build rafts. Two days later, he built more than 50 rafts. When everything was ready, he was ready to attack.

Dong had recovered from his injuries after a few days of rest. After breakfast, Zhi said to all the warriors, "My fellow warriors, in order to capture Qinwang Island and destroy the Nian Beast as soon as possible, today, Xing and Dong will lead the team to attack Qinwang Island again. I hope this time we will succeed and return victorious."

"Follow the order."

"Yes, sir." Xiaoxing and Dong agreed, then led the original 400 warriors and took Dapeng to set off on the raft again.

The chicken spirits hovering in the sky saw humans attacking again, and hurriedly flew back to the Bird King Island to report to the rooster.

On the Bird King Island, the Chicken King, Goose King, Duck King, Year Emperor, Dog Head and Pig Head were still immersed in the joy of defeating the human attack for the second time. The beasts gathered together and were talking nonstop.

"Report to Emperor Nian, after the desperate resistance of me, the Goose King and the Duck King, we have once again defeated the humans. They fled in a panic, and one of them even drowned in the river. They even abandoned the rafts." The rooster shouted proudly.

The frightened Emperor Nian heard this and then his anger turned into joy. He praised: "Well done! Rooster, Goose King, Duck King, I didn't expect you guys are so resourceful. Alas--" At this point, he sighed and drooled, "It's a pity that the drowned person can't be brought back, otherwise this emperor could have tasted human flesh."

"Emperor Nian, I have said it long ago that we waterfowl are the most powerful in the water." As soon as the Goose King won the victory, he forgot the embarrassment of fleeing in fear just now and started boasting again.

"Emperor Nian, if humans dare to attack again, we will create huge waves and drown them all. That way, you can eat human flesh." said the Duck King.

"Emperor Nian, since the Chicken King and the others are so powerful, let's just sleep soundly and rest assured." After saying this with a grunt, Pighead went to find a place to sleep again.

"You dead pig, if you want to sit back and relax, you have to wait until all humans are dead." said the dog-headed man.

"What Doghead said makes sense. As long as humans don't die, we won't have peace. Alas!" Emperor Nian couldn't help but worry again.

"Emperor Nian, let me, the old pig, say that we should not have conquered these troublesome humans in the first place. Now we don't even have a place to sleep peacefully." The pighead complained.

"Pighead, Emperor Nian, don't worry. This Bird King Island is surrounded by water. Unless humans can fly, they will never be able to attack it." The rooster won two games and did not take humans seriously at all.

As soon as he finished speaking, two chicken spirits came flying over in panic, reporting loudly: "King Rooster, it's bad, humans are attacking again!"

"What? Humans are attacking again?" Upon hearing this, Emperor Nian became nervous: "Rooster, Goose King, Duck King, go and fight. It would be best if you drown all the humans. That way, there will be peace forever."

"Yes, Emperor Nian." The rooster agreed and then led the goose king and the duck king towards the river.

"Quack, quack, quack..." As usual, the Goose King and the Duck King led tens of thousands of waterfowl to swim towards humans, ready to fight. The roosters and chicken spirits circled in the sky, ready to help.

Soon, the two sides were getting closer and closer. Xiao Xing stood at the bow of the raft, brandished a knife and shouted at the Goose King: "You damned geese and ducks, listen again: "Quickly surrender and hand over the Nian beast, otherwise, I will kill you all and turn you into roast ducks."

"Hahaha..." The Goose King laughed and said, "You defeated generals have fled in disgrace twice, but you are still talking nonsense. It's really a joke. Today, we will make sure that you have no way back and will all drown."

"King Goose, stop talking nonsense with them and make your move!" shouted the rooster.

"There are waves without wind!" The Goose King shouted, and all the waterfowl pushed the water together, creating big waves.

The waves surged and the raft rose and fell with them.

"Xing, these waterfowl are making trouble again, what should we do?" Chen asked.

"To catch a thief, we must first catch the king. Let Dapeng defeat the Chicken King, and then we will focus on dealing with the Goose King and the Duck King." After Xing finished speaking, he ordered Dapeng beside him: "Dapeng, the rooster is helping in the sky. Go and defeat it now."

"Yes, great human!" Dapeng received the order, spread its wings and flew straight towards the rooster.

"Rooster, you have assisted Nian in his evil deeds and colluded with him to resist humans. You deserve to die. Today, I, Dapeng, have come to surrender you at the request of humans. If you repent and surrender, it will be fine. But if you remain stubborn and resist stubbornly, I will tear you to pieces." Dapeng flew in front of the rooster and scolded.

"Dapeng, you were forced to hide everywhere by Emperor Nian, and I thought you were dead! What? You want to defeat me for mankind? Humph! Don't forget that we became spirits at the same time, and it's still unknown who will win!" The rooster showed no fear and shook its wings to meet the attack.
