Volume 1 Dark Rising Chapter 43 Wild Wolves
Angelina followed the snow eagle in the sky and galloped southward, but because of fear and eagerness, she didn't notice Zhou Chang who came with her.
Angelina climbed over two mounds and a bumpy road to a meadow overgrown with weeds. She was about to step into the grass with one foot when suddenly there was a sound of a rope in the grass. Namai's foot was taken back, and she swept her staff through the grass.
A black shadow emerged from the open grass, and the shadow seemed to find itself exposed, and its body jumped towards the deeper grass in front of it, and the sound of Suo Suo was far away with the sound of the weeds shaking.
At this time, Angelina heard hurried footsteps behind her, and when she looked back, the bright moonlight illuminated Zhou Chang's thin face very clearly.
"Why did you come along?" Angelina's tone was a little complaining, but more touching.
Zhou Chang heard Angelina say this, he didn't know what to say for a while, and when he encountered this kind of dilemma, he always touched the back of his head and smirked.
Angelina didn't speak when she saw Zhou Chang's smirk, and she was also amused by his behavior.
Just as the two of them were giggling, a frightened cry suddenly came from the depths of the grass.
At the same time, there was also a rapid cry of a snow eagle in the sky, and even a person like Zhou Chang, who didn't understand the language of eagles, could hear that the target of the snow eagle's search was in danger.
So, Zhou Chang and Angelina hurriedly ran to the place where the sound came from.
The two of them didn't go far before a thick and gloomy cloud obscured the moon, and dozens of pairs of green and faint light suddenly appeared in front of them.
Zhou Chang had seen this kind of thing, and at night, the eyes of the mountain wolves on the mountain would show this kind of terrifying light.
He tugged at Angelina's sleeve beside him, and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, it's a wolf." ”
As he was talking, he suddenly noticed that the green light suddenly floated towards them, forming a circle shape.
In the darkness, the cyan gem on the staff in Angelina's hand suddenly lit up, and the surroundings were suddenly illuminated as if it were day.
This time, Zhou Chang saw the surrounding situation clearly, but if he was given a choice, he would rather not see anything. Because, he saw dozens of wild wolves around him wrapping them in dumplings. The wolves looked at them fiercely, and their mouths showed rows of white fangs, and the fangs were dripping with milky white saliva downward, like a slanderer seeing delicious food.
Zhou Chang wanted to pull out the iron sword behind his back, but because he was too nervous, he reached behind his back and grabbed it a few times without grabbing the hilt.
At this moment, a flickering fire suddenly appeared not far ahead. The light of the fire grew closer and louder, and with it came the screams of terror that had just come out.
It didn't take long for Zhou Chang and An Yelina to see clearly, only to see Herman waving torches, driving away the wolves, and running towards this side.
"Mr. Herman, come here. Angelina shouted at the terrified Herman.
Herman had only seen the light from Angelina's staff before running this way, but now when he heard someone calling his name, he couldn't help but feel happy, and he quickened his pace and ran towards Angelina.
The wolves who were originally going to attack Zhou Chang and Angelina couldn't help but be startled when they saw Angelina's staff suddenly glow as bright as day, and took a few steps back.
The wolf was naturally cunning and suspicious, thinking that the light was from a terrible fire, and hesitated for a moment. Seeing Herman coming with a torch, he couldn't help but dodge a path and let Herman enter the encirclement.
Herman ran to Zhou Chang's side, and only then did he stabilize his mind a little, and when he saw that it was the beautiful and kind girl who gave him food, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and stared at Angelina with both eyes and said, "Oh, dear Miss Angelina, why are you here?"
Without waiting for Angelina to answer, Zhou Chang on the side couldn't help but complain: "It's not to find you." ”
Zhou Chang was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Angelina, "Don't talk about these useless things now, let's think about how to go back." ”
Zhou Chang had encountered mountain wolves on Mount Lubi, and he had some experience in dealing with wolves, but it was only one or two heads, but there were dozens of them cut here, and his scalp was numb when he thought about it.
Wolves are cunning and suspicious by nature, and they are extremely patient, and once they have identified their target, they will not attack immediately. Instead, they will stare at their prey until they think it's the right time to launch a deadly attack.
Thinking of the terrible thing about the wild wolf, Zhou Chang couldn't help but shudder, and now the wild wolf didn't dare to attack for a while because he was afraid of the inexplicable light around them. However, Herman's torch was about to burn out as soon as possible, and Angelina's staff didn't know how long it would last. Their only way to survive now was to rush forward to disperse the wolves while the torches were burning and their staffs were lit, and then flee to the camp.
Zhou Chang looked at Angelina, and Angelina also looked at him.
Just as Zhou Chang was about to say what he thought, the heavy dark cloud that covered the moonlight suddenly drifted away, and a full moon began to shine on the earth again.
When the wild wolves saw the bright full moon, they suddenly raised their heads as if they had eaten a tonic, and howled at the full moon.
The terrible wolf howls came one after another, and Zhou Chang was so frightened that he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
At this moment, a wild wolf quietly approached Angelina, and Herman, who saw the opportunity, swept towards the wild wolf with fire.
The wolf shrank its neck back, swung its body, and ran back into the pack.
Just as the wolf ran away, another wolf had quietly come behind Herman. The wolf bent slightly, ready to pounce on Herman.
Zhou Chang noticed the wolf's actions, and he wanted to warn Herman, but the wolf howl around him still did not stop, even if it was only a few steps away, but his voice Herman still couldn't hear it.
Zhou Chang had to hold back the fear in his heart, and his right hand quickly reached behind him, this time he grabbed the hilt of the sword very accurately. Quickly drawing his sword, he rushed behind Herman with an arrow step, and the iron sword in his hand swung out indiscriminately.
The iron sword swinging out of Zhou Chang's hand happened to slash at the stomach of the wild wolf, but due to the age and the fact that it had not been sharpened for a long time, the iron sword had long lost its sharp blade, and it was like smashing it on the wolf with a wooden stick.
His arm strength was not large, and the sword smashed out, although it stopped the attack of the wild wolf, but the iron sword in his hand also flew out of his hand due to the fierce impact of the wild wolf.
Herman finally noticed the movement here, and when he looked back, he saw a wild wolf lying in the grass groaning and standing up from the ground, glaring at Zhou Chang viciously, and then limping back to the wolves.
Herman glanced at Zhou Chang gratefully, and Zhou Chang nodded to him and picked up the iron sword that had fallen in the grass. The three of them worked very tacitly back to back, eliminating the deadly threat behind them.
At this time, the wolves stopped howling, but the wild wolves that heard the howling cut more and more, surrounding Zhou Chang and the three of them like iron buckets.
The three of them looked at the countless wolf eyes that flashed with green and faint light, and they all felt each other's bodies shaking constantly, obviously terrified to the extreme.
Herman's hand holding the torch shook like chaff, and he had to grasp the torch with his other hand, which stabilized a little.
Although there were many wild wolves, they did not take the initiative to attack them, but just watched them, as if they were waiting for something.
Not long after Zhou Chang and the wolves confronted each other, the light on Angelina's staff suddenly weakened slowly, and soon went out like a burnt lamp.
The moment Angelina's staff went out, the wolves took a few steps forward.
Watching the wolves' actions, no matter how stupid the three of them were, they understood that the wolves were waiting for the torch in Herman's hand to be extinguished, and then launched a fierce attack, tearing the three of them into countless pieces of minced meat and swallowing them as a delicacy.
"Don't perish, don't perish. Zhou Chang squinted at the torch in Herman's hand, and his heart rose to his throat.
Just when Zhou Chang was silently praying that the torch would burn until dawn, he suddenly heard Herman scream and threw the torch out.
It turned out that the torch was getting shorter and shorter, and it had burned to the place where Herman was holding, and burned several blood blisters on his hand. Herman couldn't help the pain and threw the torch out.
The torches fell in the grass and were quickly extinguished.
At the moment when the torches were extinguished, the first few wild wolves rushed towards Zhou Chang and them violently.
At this critical juncture, Zhou Chang felt the fear of death from the depths of his heart, and his body was suddenly filled with strange power again. However, this time it was different, and there was no black smoke coming out of his body.
Herman and Angelina, who were leaning against Zhou Chang with their backs, suddenly felt cold and piercing in their backs, and the chill quickly spread to their limbs. The two shivered a few times, and couldn't help but straighten up and no longer make contact with Zhou Chang's back.
Despite this, the biting chill still penetrated through Zhou Chang's body and soaked into the bodies of the two.
At this moment, the heads of the wild wolves that were approaching Zhou Chang suddenly seemed to be pressed by some heavy object, lowered downward, and soon buried themselves in the grass. The whole body went limp, like flesh that had been cut off bones, and fell to the ground softly.
Soon, the smell of carrion came from the wolves.
The other wolves seemed to sense a powerful threat and stepped back.
Seeing that they were temporarily out of danger, Herman and Angelina couldn't help but look at Zhou Chang one after the other, and suddenly they found that Zhou Chang's eyes were shining with a deep dark blue light.
Herman screamed in fright, and Angelina also grabbed Zhou Chang's arm and asked with concern, "Zhou Chang, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Chang was startled by Herman's scream, and this frightened, the consciousness of death began to fade slowly, and those eyes returned to normal. At this time, he heard Angelina's words again and felt a little inexplicable, but still replied, "It's okay." ”
Before he could finish speaking, the wolves let out a more terrible cry than before.
Zhou Chang saw that it was not a way to go on like this, so he turned his heart sideways, pointed at the wolves and began to scold: "You forced the master to make a move." ”
As he spoke, he put the iron sword back on his back, took out the book of the Apocalypse with mysterious power from his bosom, and quickly turned to the page with bone writing in the bright moonlight, and took off the bracelet of the Apocalypse that he wore on his wrist to unlock the endless power of the book.
Zhou Chang did not hesitate, although he was not familiar with the wild wolf, he was very familiar with the same kind of mountain wolf of the wild wolf, the wolf is very cruel and vicious, if you don't kill it, it will definitely kill you.
Zhou Chang put the bracelet on the book and aimed it at the wolves, and the lilac light suddenly lit up and shot forward in a line.
The wolves were suspicious of the light, but they were unaware of the terrible danger.
The lilac light shot on the head of a wild wolf, and there was a bloody hole in the wolf's head, and blood shot out from its head and sprayed on the other wild wolves. The wolf whimpered and fell to the ground.
Then the lilac light pierced through the body of another wolf, which also gushed blood, and fell to the ground like a drunken man, convulsing for a while before dying.
In an instant, Zhou Chang killed more than a dozen wild wolves.
When the wolves saw their companions spurting blood to death at the slightest hint of light, they became less calm and began to stir.
Several wild wolves roared and rushed towards Zhou Chang and them, and when they were about to run closer, they suddenly bent their hind limbs and kicked the ground, like flying arrows off the string, and pounced on them like flying arrows.
At this time, Angelina silently recited the incantation, and the staff in her hand drew an arc, and an invisible barrier suddenly formed around the three of them. A few wild wolves that flew over slammed into the invisible barrier, and with a thud, they fell heavily to the ground.
