14: Chapter 14 Golden Juice's First Battle: Feathered Tail Wings Stabilize the Situation!

Tokugawa Ieyasu and his group were full of confidence at this moment, certain they could resist Xu Xuan's invasion.

First, he had already taught the savages how to make stone tools.

He had cut down the surrounding trees and turned them into large wooden planks capable of resisting arrow attacks.

Additionally, there was water; for this large alliance of over two thousand people, he had ordered all lords to use animal bladders to make water bags.

In such a primitive tribe, water bags were essentially fire extinguishers!

Everything was ready, and under his command, the savages held up wooden shields to form a Tortoise Formation.

This way, they didn't fear bone arrowheads and could completely block Xu Xuan's aerial strikes.

Seeing the approaching Floating Island, these Japanese Lords began to clamor, attempting to provoke Xu Xuan.

[Nearby Chat Channel]

[Ashikaga Hide: Here again? Another futile attack?]

[Yamashita Jin: Come on, come on, come down and play with me!]

[Moriguchi Daisuke: Come down, coward! What's so great about relying on a sky island? If you have the guts, come down and fight us one-on-one.]

Seeing their use of reverse psychology, Xu Xuan almost laughed out loud.

That Moriguchi Daisuke seemed to have something wrong with his head; Xu Xuan was in the Japanese region, facing a hundred million Japanese Lords.

He should go down and fight them one-on-one? If those hundred million Japanese Lords each spat once, they could drown him.

They wanted Xu Xuan to come down alone and fight a hundred million people?

Even if the opposition were over a hundred million pigs, he would still be exhausted from the slaughter and eventually gored to death by them.

Ignoring the provocations of these Japanese Lords, Xu Xuan had already prepared a surprise for them.

"Prepare to pour the Golden Juice, wait for my command!"

Xu Xuan looked toward Gong Clan and Tao Shi.

They were currently holding their noses, just waiting for Xu Xuan's order to pour down this pot of steaming, bubbling, greasy thick liquid.

Below, the Japanese savages were all holding up wooden planks, forming one Tortoise Formation after another, scattered across different areas.

They held their breath as they watched the Floating Island gradually approach; according to past experience, arrows would soon fall like raindrops.

But tonight, they waited with their eyes closed for the arrows to fall, yet for a long time, not a single arrow flew their way.

What was going on?

Was Xu Xuan playing with them?

One by one, everyone curiously poked their heads out from behind the wooden shields.

In the darkness of the night, they could vaguely see two people carrying a clay pot, pouring something downward.

The savages holding the shields felt them grow heavy, as if something had landed on them.

Before they could react, the Golden Juice flowed through the gaps in the shields, dripping onto their hands, feet, and other exposed skin.

For a time, screams of agony were constant; being dripped on by the scalding Golden Juice, even a tiny bit, would immediately cause a blister that was both painful and itchy!

As the Floating Island flew over this large tribe of a thousand people, Golden Juice was continuously poured down; the screams in the night were incessant and quite pleasant to his ears.

On the ground, the Japanese Lord Ashikaga Hide couldn't help but poke his head out to look when he heard the screams.

It seemed as if some thick liquid was being splashed down from above; in the dark night, these unknown liquids were illuminated by the moonlight in mid-air, shimmering with a luster.

In the next moment, a basin of Golden Juice descended from the sky, drenching Ashikaga Hide's head.

The viscous, high-temperature liquid instantly made Ashikaga Hide scream and roll on the ground.

The heart-wrenching screams were a testament to its power!

This was a favorite of ancient city-defending soldiers because boiled oil and fat had a truly terrifying lethal effect!

Anyone who cooked frequently knew that splattered oil sticking to the skin was incredibly painful.

Not to mention an entire pot of Golden Juice poured over one's head; it truly brought the old saying to life: Shit hitting the head!

Screams rose and fell, and since most people couldn't see what was happening in the dark, an invisible fear began to spread through everyone's hearts.

What was going on?

What on earth was Xu Xuan pouring down?

This was the Stone Age; had he somehow developed some secret weapon of mass destruction?

These japanese people couldn't figure it out even if they racked their brains; in this era, besides stones and arrows, what other major weapons could there be?

Furthermore, they couldn't see anything in the dead of night, and since they were defending in separate areas, they had no idea what Xu Xuan was pouring down.

The screams grew more frequent, causing the entire Tokugawa Alliance to begin feeling afraid.

[Tokugawa Alliance Internal Chat]

[Moriguchi Daisuke: What exactly happened up front? Can someone explain?]

[Tokugawa Ieyasu: What is that Xu Xuan pouring down?]

[Yamashita Jin: I don't know what it is, it seems like oil! Anyone it touches gets huge blisters, it's terrifying. What should we do, Alliance Leader?]

For a moment, panic spread through the tribal alliance; they had no idea how to deal with this Floating Island.

[Tada Arisu: I saw Ashikaga Hide fall, he looks like he's not going to make it. Help!]

[Tokugawa Ieyasu: Damned, cunning Xia country person! Counterattack, we must counterattack!! No matter what, we must give everything to strike back at him!]

[Tokugawa Ieyasu: Stop hiding! Everyone come out and draw your bows, shoot them!]

Tokugawa Ieyasu shouted desperately in the group, and the Japanese Lords one after another brought out their pitifully few bows and arrows to shoot at the Floating Island.

Seeing various arrows take flight and head toward the Floating Island.

Hu Zi Mei immediately shielded Xu Xuan: "Chief, be careful!"

Looking at the 1.8-meter-tall Hu Zi Mei, who immediately protected him to block the arrows.

It had to be said, Hu Zi Mei was truly loyal.

However, Xu Xuan wasn't worried about their shooting.

Because for now, their arrows were very primitive, mostly just sharpened pieces of wood; once these pieces of wood flew more than ten meters, they lost almost all lethality.

In the time it took to speak, three wooden arrows flew over and landed on Hu Zi Mei's animal skins; they had no lethality at all, as if they were just playing around.

Seeing the various wooden arrows shot from below, Hu Zi Mei couldn't help but sneer: "With just this stuff, they want to hit our island? Chief, aren't we going to fight back?"

Xu Xuan waved his hand, wearing a calm and composed expression: "I'll tell you an allusion called 'Borrowing Arrows with Straw Boats.' In our world, there was a Crouching Dragon strategist named Zhuge Liang who used a single scheme to borrow the enemy's arrows."

As he spoke, Xu Xuan picked up a sharpened wooden arrow from the ground: "Let them shoot all they want. We just need to take their arrows and improve them slightly, like this."

Xu Xuan tore a feather in half, used resin to attach it to the arrow, and fitted a bone arrowhead onto the tip.

An arrow with tail stabilization was thus born in his hands.

With that, Xu Xuan picked up a wooden bow and aimed at a Japanese Lord holding a torch.

He drew the bowstring to its limit and released!

The arrow flew, and within a distance of thirty to forty meters, the tail-stabilized arrow struck the Japanese Lord in the thigh.

Seeing this, Hu Zi Mei suddenly understood: "So that's why the Chief had me look for feathers—it was for this!"
