Traveling back to ancient times to determine the zodiac

Xiao Xing frowned. Although he was unsure, he could not be timid anyway, so he agreed, "Okay, I'll try it too!"

"Xing, try harder!" Chen shouted worriedly.

"Brother Xing, try harder!" Hong'er and Lan'er shouted.

Xiaoxing came to the big rock, took a horse stance, and using all his strength, he shouted "Hi" three times in succession, but he could only lift the big rock to the level of his chest. Finally, he had to give up helplessly.

"Haha..." Dong Shengli laughed loudly: "Xing, you lost! What else do you have to say?"

"Brother Dong, what's so great about lifting stones? If you want to compete, compete in archery! Do you dare?" Xiaoxing, who was extremely unconvinced, took a bow and arrow from Hong'er and challenged.

"Archery competition? Sure! How do we compete?" Dong Man agreed and immediately took a bow and arrow from the crowd.

Xiao Xing looked up and found two chicken spirits circling in the sky above his head, so he pointed at them and said, "Brother Dong, let's each shoot an arrow and see who can shoot down the two chicken spirits in the sky."

These two chicken spirits were ordered by the rooster to monitor human movements. They did not know the power of bows and arrows, so they did not fly high.

Since it is harder to hit a moving target than a fixed one, Dong looked up for a while and knew that this was not his strong point, but he could not refuse the challenge at this time, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's shoot, who's afraid of who?"

After saying that, he bent his bow, drew his arrow, aimed at one of the chicken spirits and shot.

Everyone's eyes followed the arrow as it flew towards a chicken spirit in the air, but at the moment of contact, the flying chicken spirit managed to dodge it. The arrow then fell down.

"Oh..." Everyone sighed and said with regret: "What a pity, it was just a little bit short."

"Brother Dong, you've finished shooting, now it's my turn!" Xiaoxing pulled the bow and arrow, held his breath, aimed at a chicken and shot an arrow with all his strength.

With a whoosh, the arrow flew towards the target like a meteor chasing the moon. The leading chicken spirit had no idea what was happening when it was shot through the heart, screamed, and fell down.

The chicken behind was so frightened that it flew back to the Bird King Island in a hurry to report the news to the rooster.

This perfect arrow stunned everyone, followed by thunderous applause and shouts: "Xing, you are so amazing! You are a well-deserved archer!"

"Archer, archer!" Hong'er and Lan'er became even more excited, jumping and shouting.

Dong Shi, who had the opposite expression from everyone else, was angry and annoyed. He said to Xiao Xing, "Xing, you lost the first game. You won the second game. It's a tie between us. If we want to decide the winner, we have to have a third game. Do you dare to come?"

"Okay, Brother Dong. No matter how you compete, I will accompany you to the end." In order to completely defeat Dong's arrogance, Xiaoxing gave it his all.

"Xing, in this third match, let's have a wrestling competition. Whoever falls first loses. What do you think?" Dong stared at Xiaoxing, wishing he could swallow him in one bite.

In a wrestling match, it is actually a competition of strength between two people. The one with greater strength will naturally win more easily. Obviously, in terms of strength, Dong Bi has a much greater advantage over Xiao Xing.

"Xing, you must not agree to Dong Ge's wrestling match. You will definitely lose." Chen advised worriedly.

"Yes! Xing, you should give up this game and switch to another one!" Zhiye advised with great concern.

"Xing, if you refuse this competition, then it means you admit defeat and you will have to listen to me from now on. How about that?" Looking at the hesitant Xiao Xing, Dong couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

"Brother Dong, I will not admit defeat. I agree to the game with you." Unexpectedly, Xiaoxing didn't buy his account at all and agreed readily.

"Xing, with your strength, how can you compete with Brother Dong? You might as well just admit defeat!" Xi was very pessimistic about this match with such a huge disparity in strength.

"Uncle Zhi! Brother Xi, since I will lose if I refuse the competition, then why don't I accept the competition? That way, even if I lose, I can still give it a try." After Xiaoxing said this, he took two steps forward and prepared to start.

"Xing, you're really great!" Dong praised, then stretched out his arms and signaled: "The game starts now."

Xiaoxing also stretched out his arms, and the two of them wrestled each other's arms, struggling to make each other fall to the ground. The two of them were like fighting bulls, deadlocked, and kept turning around. After a while, Xiaoxing seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and was thrown to the ground by Dong twice in a row. Fortunately, he was flexible and adjusted himself immediately.

"Xing, push harder, push harder!" Chen shouted.

"Brother Xing, come on! Brother Xing, come on!" Hong'er and Lan'er acted as cheerleaders, cheering for Xiaoxing.

"Dong is much stronger than Xing. It looks like Xing will definitely lose. Oh! What should we do?" Although Zhi likes Xiaoxing, as the leader, he cannot favor anyone, so he can only sigh.

"Uncle Zhi, they are competing and no one else can help. Alas, we can only leave it to fate!" Feng, who was watching the game, sighed helplessly.

"Uncle Zhi, Brother Feng, I have an idea!" Chen, who was standing next to them, heard the two talking and interrupted.

"Chen, is there any way you can help Xing win this game?" Feng asked hurriedly.

“Hehe——” Chen smiled mysteriously: “I’ll tell you later, keep it secret for now.”

After saying that, he pulled Yue out of the crowd and ran away.

On the field, Xiaoxing was sweating all over and it seemed increasingly difficult for him to hold on. Dong, on the other hand, was as calm as ever, confident. Suddenly, Dong exerted force with both arms again, causing Xiaoxing to stagger. Xiaoxing used all his strength to stabilize himself. The hearts of the spectators were instantly in their throats.

"Xing, you are no match for me at all, just admit defeat!" Dong said.

"Hmph! I won't give up unless you make me knock down!" Xiaoxing said stubbornly.

"Okay, I'll make you admit defeat sincerely!" Dong finally exploded and fought hard like an angry bear.

Xiaoxing fought hard, and just when he was about to give up, Dong suddenly shouted "Ouch!" and withdrew his right hand to touch the top of his head, seeming to be in great pain.

Xiaoxing took this opportunity to fight back bravely, knocking Dong to the ground with a "thump".

This dramatic scene changed so quickly and so unexpectedly that everyone was stunned at first, and then they started shouting wildly: "Xing, you won! You won!"

"Xing, I didn't expect you to be the most powerful among us!"

Hong Er was so excited that she almost shed tears, repeating over and over again: "Brother Xing, that's great! You are so great!"

Feng, Yun, Lei, Dian and others excitedly lifted up Xiaoxing and threw it up to celebrate.

Everyone was cheering when suddenly a loud shout came: "Xing, you used a hidden object to hurt someone, this fight doesn't count!"

Xiaoxing quickly got up and stood up, looking in the direction of the voice. It turned out that it was Dong who had crawled up from the ground and was angrily scolding him.

"Brother Dong, what nonsense are you talking about? How did I hurt anyone with my hidden object?" Xiaoxing asked in confusion.

"If there hadn't been a stone that suddenly hit my head just now, causing me unbearable pain, how could I have let you win by chance?" Dong rubbed a big bump on his head and continued, "This stone only hit me and not you. Wasn't it you who hit me?"

"Brother Dong, you said you were hit by a stone, so how come no one saw it? Even if you were hit by a stone, how can you say it was me?" Xiaoxing retorted unconvinced.

"Dong," Zhi interrupted, "Xing is right. You said that Xing hit you with a stone. Do you have any evidence?"

"This..." Dong was speechless for a moment, lowering his head to look for the stone, but there were similar stones everywhere on the wasteland, how could he recognize it? He swore and said, "Uncle Zhi, although I have no evidence, I really didn't lie to you. I was hit by a stone and had to let go."

"Dong, since you have no evidence, you can't blame Xing for cheating." Zhi looked up at the sky and continued, "Based on my hunting experience of more than fifty years, there is only rain, snow and hail in the sky. If this stone was dropped by the sky, then you can only blame it on your bad luck. So this game is still valid."

Dong had nothing to refute at this moment and could only curse.

Zhi ignored him and announced the result of the match to everyone: "Listen, all warriors: After three games, Xing finally won. Now according to the pre-match agreement between Dong and Xing, the losing side must obey the winning side. Therefore, Dong must listen to Xing's opinion from now on and is not allowed to change the attack route."

After the announcement, everyone was silent. Then, Xing led the group back to the camp.

"Xing, now that we have failed twice in our attacks and you don't change your route, what should we do?" After the meal, Zhi asked Xiaoxing.

"Uncle Zhi, wait for me to think of a solution. I will definitely find one." Xiaoxing said.

"Xing, don't worry. You are our wise star. Uncle Zhi believes that you will come up with a good idea." Zhi patted Xiaoxing's shoulder and comforted her.

"Well, thank you Uncle Zhi!" Xiaoxing nodded vigorously, then buried his head in thought.

At this time, Hong'er, Lan'er, Chen, Yue and others came over. Hong'er shouted, "Brother Xing, let's work together to help you find a solution."

"Hong'er, to be honest, I really have no idea what to do now!" Xiaoxing smiled bitterly.

"Xing, I believe you can find a way, otherwise, I would not have helped you during the competition just now." Chen said.

"What?" Xiao Xing shouted in surprise, "Brother Dong was hit by a stone just now. Was it really you who did it?"

"That's right." Yue said proudly, "Just now, Brother Chen found a small stone, took me to the eagle, and ordered the eagle to throw the stone at Brother Dong. Then the eagle flew high into the sky with the stone in its mouth, and then dropped it on Brother Dong's head. Although the stone was small, it was very high, so it was very painful to be hit, and that's how you won the game."

"Chen, how could you do this?" Xiao Xing was very angry when she heard it, "No wonder Dong Ge was unwilling to accept his defeat, this is called an unfair victory."

"Xing, we helped you because we saw that you couldn't hold on any longer." Chen cried out in grievance.

"Yes, Brother Xing, we just don't want Brother Dong to command us." Yue also seemed very aggrieved.

"Okay, okay, Brother Xing, now that things have come to this, don't blame them anymore. We should all quickly come up with a plan to defeat the enemy." Hong'er advised.

"This Bird King Island has those nasty goose and duck spirits causing trouble, and the chicken spirits taking advantage of the situation to snatch and peck fiercely. It is really hard to break through!" Xiaoxing sighed.

"Brother Xing, whenever my father encountered difficulties in the past, he would always pray to Nuwa. Now that the attack is encountering difficulties, you can also pray to Nuwa!" Hong'er said.

"Yes!" Xiao Xing slapped his head and smiled embarrassedly: "I have been too busy recently and forgot about it. Hong'er, thank you for reminding me."

After that, Xiao Xing took out the wooden sculpture of the Nuwa statue that Qiu had given him, and respectfully placed it on a large stone. Then he kowtowed to the statue again and again, and prayed: "Nuwa Goddess, Bai Ling Angel, the brutal Nian Beast has now fled to the Bird King Island of the Rooster. We have attacked twice, but both failed miserably due to the resistance of the goose spirits and duck spirits, and caused the unfortunate death of Brother Da Dao. In desperation, I sincerely ask Nuwa Goddess and Bai Ling Angel to show up quickly and show us: How to defeat the Rooster, break through the Bird King Island, and eliminate the Nian Beast?"

After praying once, Bai Ling did not show up. Xiao Xing felt disappointed and said to Hong Er and the others, "This Bai Ling is mysterious. Sometimes he appears, sometimes he doesn't. Alas..."

"Xing, Bai Ling may have no solution, so she avoids us. I think it's better for you to find a way yourself!" Chen said.

"Brother Xing, maybe sometimes Bai Ling didn't hear us, or maybe sometimes it went out to play, so we should pray a few more times." Hong'er said.

"Well, Hong'er, you are right. With sincerity, even metal and stone can be moved. As long as we pray sincerely, Bai Ling will definitely come out." After hearing Hong'er's advice, Xiaoxing gained more confidence and continued to pray.
