Traveling back to ancient times to determine the zodiac

The bison fled in panic with their tails between their legs, and the crowd could not catch up with them, so they had to give up.

On the way back to the battlefield, Qiu stroked his white beard and praised Xiaoxing in public, saying, "Xing, your trap plan is really brilliant! As expected, all the wild buffaloes fell into the trap and were helpless. Now, we can capture the bull kings without any effort. It can be said that you have made a great contribution to the people of the whole cave!"

Zhi followed and praised: "Master, this is really a plan that can defeat thousands of troops. This time, so many evil cows were trapped. This is really unprecedented. Xing's plan is really smart!"

The others were also full of admiration and couldn't help but praise him. Feng said enviously: "Brother Xing, you can come up with such a great idea, you can really be called a wise star!"

Yun followed up, "Yes, even if a person can move mountains, he is not as powerful as wisdom."

Warrior Jiang Zhi nodded and said, "That's right! How can we subdue such a ferocious buffalo without taking such measures?"

After hearing these words of praise, Dong felt as if he had been slapped in the face and his expression became extremely ugly.

Everyone praised the Bull King endlessly as they came to the Bull King's trap. Everyone looked at the Bull King who was trapped in the trap and was still fighting like a trapped beast, and they couldn't help but sneer.

Qiu pointed his spear at the Bull King and cursed: "You evil bull, now that you have fallen into this trap, do you still dare to be so arrogant? Do you still dare to underestimate humans? Today, you are not trying to kill us, but we want to catch you all in one fell swoop and smash you to pieces to avenge our Lao Zong and Lao Du, Lao Cheng, Guo, and Nan warriors."

The Bull King looked up at the crowd with two bloodshot eyes, and answered angrily: "You damned humans, you actually took advantage of our absence to dig a trap overnight, causing me to fall into the trap. What kind of ability do you have to do this? Save me now!"

The yellow cow spirits and milk cow spirits nearby immediately followed suit and shouted, "Monkey-like humans, if you have the ability, don't dig traps. Let's fight on the ground together. Whoever wins and whoever loses will be the real powerful one."

"Rescue you guys?" Xiao Xing couldn't help laughing when he heard it, "Stupid cow, I can rescue you guys. But I have to wait until all of you are dead. Hahahaha..."

The Bull King was shocked and angry. He pushed a corner of the well wall in annoyance, and then cursed at the top: "Monkey-like human, playing tricks, what kind of ability is that?"

"Listen up, you stupid buffaloes." General Qiu pointed his spear at the Bull King and shouted, "You only know brute force, not wisdom. No matter what methods and means we use, as long as we can defeat you, we are stronger than you. Why don't you submit?"

"Of course I don't accept it. I was trapped because I fell into your trap, not because I was defeated by you based on my strength. Humph! I'm not bragging, if you have the courage to let me go, I will definitely defeat you miserably." The Bull King said angrily with his head held high.

"A defeated general still dares to talk about bravery. Cave master, stop talking nonsense with this evil bull. Catch it and kill it now. Firstly, we can avenge the dead and wounded warriors. Secondly, we can use it as food. Isn't this the best of both worlds?" said the lower one.

"Yes, kill this bison king, skin it, remove its tendons, cut it into eight pieces, and make roast beef. With such a big piece of meat, there must be several thousand pounds of meat, which can be eaten for several days!" said the tree root.

"Haha, I wonder if such an old bison can chew it? I think those two big and long horns will be very loud if they are cut off to make horns." Leaf said, pointing at the horns of the Bull King.

"There is also cowhide, which can be peeled off and made into leather shoes, belts, and leather bags." Xiaoxing followed.

Everyone was talking about killing the cows and eating their meat. The Bull King was panicking. Although he was rude, he didn't want to die like this. The Bull King asked Qiu fearfully, "Monkey-like humans, do you really want to kill me?"

"Of course. If we don't kill you, will you live to cause trouble to us again?" Qiu replied coldly.

"You monkey-like humans, if you dare to kill me, Emperor Nian will definitely come to eat you!" The Bull King was helpless and brought out Emperor Nian to threaten him.

"Evil bull, are you still trying to scare me with the Nian beast? Let me tell you, the last time the Nian beast came, we shot one of its eyes blind. If it hadn't run away quickly, it would have been turned into barbecue." Qiu replied again.

The Bull King was speechless. The stupid Bull King finally understood that his life was in danger. So, the Bull King's arrogance disappeared, and he showed a pitiful look and begged, "My powerful human, I came here to conquer you not because I wanted to, but because I was forced by Emperor Nian. Now that I have been captured, I am willing to betray Emperor Nian, surrender to you humans, and worship you as my king. Please spare my life and let me go!"

"Master, this evil bull is very eloquent. Don't believe it." Dong Xiangqiu pointed at the Bull King and shouted, "Evil bull, you keep saying that you were forced by the Nian beast. Let me ask you: there is only one Nian beast, and you have so many bulls. Can you not defeat it? Will you not resist? This is clearly an excuse."

"Resist?" Upon hearing this, the Bull King's eyes widened, and he shook his head continuously, and quickly denied it: "If we fight against the Nian Beast, there is no way we can win. It is impossible to win. It will eat us all." Resistance seemed to have touched its hidden pain, and then he slowly said: "I will tell you a story, and you will understand. A thousand years ago, when I was only more than two hundred years old, one day..."

It turns out that more than 1,500 years ago, there were no humans in the world, and there were only two types of cattle, numbering no more than a thousand. The ancestors of the buffalo king lived leisurely on the glacial grasslands with abundant water and grass. They were extremely strong, had almost no natural enemies, and lived a very comfortable life.

Suddenly one day, the Nian beast came to the grassland and found a group of huge wild buffaloes. It shouted excitedly: "Hehe, hehe... so many fat cattle, it's time to have a big meal."

After it barked, it quickly rushed towards the herd. The father of the Bull King, the Big Bull, saw the Nian beast coming and immediately led his three brothers and four brothers to meet it, shouting: "Moo, what kind of monster is coming over here? How dare you invade my territory?"

The Nian Beast cursed: "You stupid cows actually called me a monster. You really deserve to die."

"You have long horns, long fangs, and a long, thick tail. If you are not a monster, what are you?" asked Boss Niu again.

"Stupid cow, listen to me carefully. I am the Nian beast, the first animal in the world, and the emperor of animals. All animals in the world, including you, are under my control." After introducing himself with his head held high, Emperor Nian continued, "I am touring the world now. I am lucky to meet you today. Please send a few calves here so that I can have a taste."

The eldest cow was furious when he heard this and said, "Bah, you monster, what right do you have to be an emperor? Why do you want to eat our children? You are so arrogant. Let me tell you, although you are bigger than us and have horns and fangs, we are more numerous and powerful. We will push your intestines out."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Nian was also furious and cursed: "Jiji, you stupid cows, how dare you resist me? I will eat you all up and exterminate you."

In this territory, the bull boss had never seen such an arrogant animal. His temper instantly flared up and he roared, "Damn monster, go to hell!"

I saw the old cow holding its long horns and rushing towards the Nian beast with all its strength. Its weight of four or five thousand kilograms was so heavy that the earth was shaking.

The Nian beast showed no fear, with its long tail propped up on the ground, and it used its long horns to butt against the ox boss. With a loud bang, the ox boss's huge body fell to the ground, gasping for breath, and his limbs twitching. He could no longer get up.

Looking at the Nian beast again, it was motionless, shaking its head as if nothing had happened, and said disdainfully: "It is so vulnerable."

“Brother, brother…” When the third and fourth brothers behind saw that their eldest brother could not get up, they hurried forward to check.

"Brothers, big brother is dying. You must defeat Emperor Nian and avenge me!" Boss Niu died after leaving behind these last words with great difficulty.

“Big Brother!” Niu Lao Er screamed in pain, his bloodshot eyes turned from the corpse of the boss to look at Emperor Nian, and he roared, “Monster, I don’t believe I can’t kill you!”

Niu Lao Er spread out his four hooves, turned around, about a hundred meters away from the Nian Beast, and then accelerated and rushed towards the Nian Emperor.

Niu Lao Er's speed was getting faster and faster, and the impact force was at least tens of thousands of pounds. The Nian beast was not in a hurry and continued to charge head-on. "Bang--" After a louder noise than before, Niu Lao Er not only fell to the ground with a bang, but also broke one of his long horns. After struggling for a few times, he died.

The Nian beast remained motionless, shook its head and said, "Another one died, who else will come?"

The remaining Niu brothers looked at the Nian beast in disbelief, and then looked at each other. Niu Lao San said, "Brothers, this monster is too powerful. Let's attack it together."

"The third brother is right. In order to protect the children, we must work together to kill Emperor Nian." Niu Lao Si followed.

Upon hearing this, the fifth and sixth brothers nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, we will listen to the third brother and attack together!"

The cows had made up their minds and surrounded the Nian beast at a distance of about 20 steps. Then the third cow gave the order: "Brothers, charge!"

The four cows attacked the Nian beast from the front, back, left, and right. Seeing them attacking together, the Nian beast was not afraid. It knocked over the third cow in front, then swung its thick tail and knocked down the fourth cow behind. At this time, the fifth and sixth cows on the left and right had already attacked, each pointing their horns at the beast's belly. However, the Nian beast's skin was as hard as a slate and could not be pierced at all. The Nian beast screamed, turned around, knocked over the fifth cow with its head, and knocked down the sixth cow with its tail.

Just as the four cows were struggling to get up, the beast Nian became ferocious, opened its huge mouth as big as a hippopotamus, revealed its fangs longer than a tiger's, and bit the necks of the four cows on the ground one by one. With four "crackling" sounds, the necks of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth cows were bitten off one by one, and they died instantly.

The cows watching nearby were so frightened that they stood there in awe. The Nian beast laughed loudly, and then said proudly, "You ignorant and stupid cows, now you know how powerful I am. I will eat all of you stupid cows!"

After saying this, it rushed towards the stunned cattle. The cattle immediately scattered like a pot of boiling water, and many calves were trampled to death. The Nian beast chased the fleeing cattle, biting them one by one, and killed and injured countless of them.

The big buffalo, who was running in the front, now the Bull King, suddenly found that there was no road ahead. What came into view was a cliff hundreds of feet high. The Bull King was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped his four hooves. The stone that was kicked off the cliff did not hear the echo for a long time.

"Brothers and sisters, there is no road ahead, everyone stop!" the Bull King shouted loudly.

"There is a dead end ahead and the Nian beast is chasing us from behind. What should we do? What should we do?" the herd of cattle at the back asked in despair.

"It's all over, it's all over, we're all going to be eaten by the Nian beast!" some cows cried.

"Don't panic, there's no way out here. Let's escape in another direction." The Bull King comforted the bulls, then turned around and ran back.

Before they had run half a mile, the Nian beast had already caught up with them. Seeing the cows running back, it was overjoyed and said, "You stupid cows, there is no way to escape. Hurry up and die!"

The Nian beast opened its bloody mouth and rushed towards the Bull King. The Bull King knew he could not win, so in order to save his life, he knelt on his knees and begged for mercy: "Emperor Nian, I am willing to worship you as my king! I beg you to spare my life, I am willing to do anything for you and serve you forever."

The Nian beast was also tired, so it stopped attacking, stretched out its right paw to touch the head of the Bull King and praised him, "You are quite clever, little calf. As the saying goes, a man who knows the times is a hero. If those dead cows had recognized me as their king earlier and obeyed me in everything, they wouldn't have lost their lives."
