Chapter Ninety-Two: The Wolves
"Grass buckles!"
Looking at the densely packed tents all over the mountains, Lu Chuan's pupils shrank, and he turned around to return the same way.
Mo said that he was only a fourth grade, even if it was a first grade, in the face of such a large army of grass barbarians, it would definitely be nine deaths.
But now is not the time to wonder why the steppe barbarians suddenly appeared.
"There are tigers in front and wolves in the back!"
Lu Chuan's eyes were ruthless, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and roared.
Roar!
The roar that was exactly the same as the white-eyed tiger spread across a radius of dozens of miles in an instant, almost like thunder on the ground!
The viscera has been refined by the flesh and blood of the ichthyosaurus and the beetle snake, and the cultivation has reached the fourth grade, and even after most of the root of the disease has been removed, its breath is long, far exceeding that of martial artists of the same level.
Even if it is a master of the three-grade internal qi realm, it is inferior.
This roar is really like the resurrection of a white-eyed tiger, and even a victory!
Whew!
In an instant, countless torches rose in the tent camp at the bottom of the mountain, and a number of people rushed out of the hulala, and after a chaotic shout, I saw a team of people and horses holding torches and rushing towards the mountain.
But looking at the speed of these people, although they don't know how to cultivate, they are not slower than the four-rank masters.
Whew!
What is especially terrifying is that the mad wolf mooing comes and goes, accompanied by the neighing of the horses, and there is a special slogan that seems to have some kind of law, ordering all people or animals to obey orders.
Lu Chuan's expression tightened, and he instinctively felt that there were existences that could threaten him, and there was more than one.
Swish!
With a wrong step, his body swept longitudinally, changed direction slightly, and headed northeast along the ridge.
In terms of foot strength alone, Lu Chuan is confident that he will not lose to anyone, even if he is a master of the three-rank internal qi realm, he may not be able to consume him.
But the steppe barbarians are different, almost all of them are different from ordinary people, they can hunt on horseback at the age of seven or eight, they are skilled in bows and horses, and they are qualified hunters or soldiers at the age of eleven or twelve.
The grassland people who grew up in a harsh environment also have their own special cultivation system, which is similar to the lower three grades and middle three grades of the Central Plains Great Jin people, and there is almost no cultivation method that directly enters the upper three grades.
This knowledge was obtained by Lu Chuan from the martial arts biography obtained from Tao Hu, although it may not be completely accurate, but at the same time, it can be seen that most of the grassland people have abandoned the step-by-step cultivation method of directly entering the upper three grades.
Through cruel cultivation methods, the physical body has been tempered thousands of times, and each one of them is a leader in the same rank.
Lu Chuan didn't want to be targeted by such an existence, especially since the other party still made a big move, God knows what kind of monsters would be inside.
"What was it just calling? Why does it sound like a tiger?"
"There are no strange beasts and tigers in Siliang Mountain......"
"Whatever it is, the most important thing is to catch people!"
The Pegasus Gang hurried slowly, but under the roar of a tiger, the mount under the crotch seemed to be afraid, and it actually stopped for a long time, looking up to the sky and hissing.
The Pegasus Gang disciples, who are familiar with horse nature, know very well that this is indeed fear, and it seems that the roar may really be some kind of terrifying monster.
never thought that this voice was made by Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan also used this trick to fight the enemy, but he was chased and killed by the Huoyun Iron Cavalry a month ago, and when he faced Han Baohu, a four-grade master, he roared and startled the horse, which caught him off guard.
But Lu Chuan is a human after all, and the horses themselves have spirituality, especially those who follow humans all the year round, and they are the good horses carefully selected by the Pegasus Gang.
If you are facing each other in broad daylight, this method is at best to keep the horse on your toes, and it is difficult for the horses to stop.
Only in the case of surprise can it have unexpected effects!
Halfway up the mountain, there are not many people who can catch up, after all, not all horses can cross mountains.
"How can there be so many torches?"
When the Pegasus Gang reached the top of the mountain, they couldn't help but be stunned to see such torches winding up like a fire dragon!
Poof!
In the darkness, the sound of a sharp blade penetrating flesh flashed, and the mountain peaks were slow, and there was a hidden bloody aura!
Four or five Pegasus Gang members were killed one after another, which also made the rest of the people gradually alert, after all, Lu Chuan had blindly fled before and did not return to kill.
But now, these horse thieves, who are usually very vigilant and accustomed to a life of licking blood with knives, are gradually coming back to their senses!
"Prairie barbarian!"
"Retreat!"
"Hurry ......"
The shouts were filled with fear, and some even stopped abruptly, and the silent mountain forest soon fell into chaos.
The Pegasus Gang was formerly a grassland horse thief, and some of them were grassland people, but they were later divided into two parts, and one part came to Wutong Mansion to settle down and became the Pegasus Gang.
On the other hand, they are still mixed in the grasslands, and the two sides exchange what they have, exchange horses or various scarce resources, and make ends meet.
Phew!
In mid-air, the Iron Feather Eagle hovered, and it was already difficult to distinguish its figure, but it was still closely following behind Lu Chuan.
"Is this guy crazy?"
Although Lu Chuan couldn't see the Iron Feather Eagle, he could vaguely feel that a pair of eyes as sharp as a hook were staring at him all the time.
It stands to reason that this iron feather eagle is a pet kept in captivity in Yaotang, and it is mostly used to reconnoiter the enemy, and the grassland barbarians are the primary target.
Now, the grassland barbarians have set up tents at the door, and the other party has not reacted, which is really beyond Lu Chuan's expectations.
"No, what does it smell like?"
Suddenly, Lu Chuan's nose fluttered, and there seemed to be a special fragrance in the air, but even he could hardly distinguish it, and he only noticed it with his powerful senses.
Phew!
The Iron Feather Eagle flapped its wings in mid-air, bringing gusts of wind with it, and seemed to be closer.
Boom!
At this moment, a thunderclap was shocked, and the sound of breaking through the sky like a cloud and cracking stone suddenly appeared, and a faint black light rose into the sky in the darkness.
Phew!
The screams of the Iron Feather Eagle came to an abrupt end, and after a few breaths, a huge roar of a heavy object falling into the air sounded in the mountain forest, accompanied by the click of a giant tree breaking.
"Falcon crossbow!"
Lu Chuan's pupils shrank, he didn't want to think about it, his body was short, and he jumped forward quickly.
When I was at Xiaoliang Fort, I had nothing to listen to the old soldier bragging, the lame old cavalryman once said that the steppe people had a powerful bow and crossbow, the specific name of which was unknown, and it was specially used to hunt and harass the giant eagle that attacked cattle and sheep.
Over time, it became known as the Falcon Crossbow!
This kind of crossbow is huge and bulky, far less dexterous and convenient than the bow and crossbow of the Central Plains Great Jin, but it is superior in its extremely long range and huge power, even if it is hundreds of zhang away, it can easily kill the target.
Obviously, the steppe people had long been aware of the Iron Feather Eagle, and deliberately turned a blind eye, and I don't know what method they used, they attracted it down and shot it with an arrow.
Lu Chuan would not be grateful to the grassland people for helping to solve this major problem.
If nothing else, the next step will inevitably be pursued by the steppe people, and it will be an unprecedented crisis.
The grassland people made such a big battle, and quietly touched the vicinity of Siliang Mountain, which was surrounded by the border army fort of the Great Jin Dynasty, but they did not receive any rumors.
It can be seen that the other party has made sufficient preparations and will never let the news leak out.
Whew!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the wolf howls to be heard one after another, and they were getting closer and closer, much faster than the Pegasus Gang's pursuers before.
Moreover, there are still a few Pegasus Gang members who are persevering behind them.
Lu Chuan originally wanted to hide his figure and get rid of the grassland people, but the Pegasus Gang completely exposed his traces in the back.
Almost all of the steppe people are experienced hunters, even in the dark, they can still accurately find the traces of their prey, not to mention the help of steppe wolves.
Lu Chuan turned around and looked at the side of the ridge, and could even vaguely see the huge shadows scurrying in the darkness under the firelight, as well as a pair of green eyes.
Steppe wolves, herd alien beasts, even alien beasts brute bears and tigers, do not want to provoke the existence.
This beast is extremely retaliatory, extremely patient, and very good at hunting.
There is almost no chance of escape from the target!
Lu Chuan's speed is not slow, but after all, he is not a real beast.
The white-eyed tiger can run hundreds of miles without sleep, or even thousands of miles, and hunt as usual, but he can only rely on two legs, and the consumption of himself is too great.
In addition, he was chased by the Pegasus Gang cavalry before, and ran all the way up the mountain, and his physical strength was already consumed, and at this time, he could already faintly hear the breathing sound of the steppe wolf running wildly.
It's close!
Lu Chuan squinted, looked left and right, and determined his position.
Xiaoliang Fort has a radius of dozens of miles, or even a hundred miles, which can be said to be the terrain he is most familiar with, and he had planned more than one escape route at the beginning.
It's a pity that the cliff jumping that was surrounded and killed by Chen Jinnian led the troops at the beginning, only that place is suitable for the escape route of the flying squirrel suit.
And here, there is only the Wuding River a hundred miles away!
In other words, it is necessary to endure the pursuit and killing of the Pegasus Gang and the grassland people within this distance, and escape all the way to the Wuding River to escape this catastrophe.
Whew!
Just as Lu Chuan was thinking, a giant cyan wolf like a calf jumped out of the darkness, opened its bloody mouth, and bit Lu Chuan's neck.
Zheng!
The blade was unsheathed, the white light flashed in the darkness, there was a muffled sound, the bloody breath was great, and a huge and hideous wolf head rose into the sky.
Lu Chuan shook the black knife, put the knife back into its sheath, and continued to sweep forward with a cold face.
Although it is true that the steppe wolf is a strange beast, it is comparable to a seventh-rank martial artist alone, and with its extraordinary speed advantage, even a fifth- or sixth-rank martial artist can only be exhausted.
Among them, the best can even hunt and kill the fifth grade, and the fourth grade will flee from the wind.
But Lu Chuan is not an ordinary four-grade, under the full explosion, he can fight with the third-grade martial artist, and of course it is no problem to deal with a steppe wolf.
But the key point is that steppe wolves never go alone, especially when these wolves are still kept in captivity by the steppe people.
Woohoo woohoo!
This time it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the wolf howls came and went, echoing in the silent mountain forest like a drum, accompanied by bursts of miserable screams and wails.
Regardless of asking, it can be known that the pursuit team of the Pegasus Gang, when encountering the grassland people, must have suffered heavy casualties.
But now, the steppe wolves smelled the blood, and they were already swarming, and the steppe people who followed closely behind did not pay much attention to the people of the Pegasus Gang, and also followed the trail to chase and kill Lu Chuan.
It's not that the Pegasus Gang has spared the people, but there is still a steady stream of grassland hunters rushing into the mountains and forests, and they must be killed.
Otherwise, once the news leaks and the Central Plains has precautions, their border action will inevitably be greatly discounted.
