Chapter 458: Mystic Power
What's even more terrifying is that this giant actually ate forty of their sled dogs in two nights, and in the whole process of eating the sled dogs, the sled dogs did not make any resistance or make any bark, which is the most terrifying thing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
What kind of power do these giants possess that allow the sled dogs to be slaughtered without any resistance? Will it be the same result if such a force is used against them, and they can only wait to be killed?
Both of them felt their scalps tingle and their backs were cold.
"Let's, what are we going to do?"
Huang Qiaoqiao originally wanted to say to Yang Xianmao, "Let's go quickly and get out of here." "But she said the same thing the other morning, and they left the snowfield, but the giants of the ice field followed them all the way here, and ate more than twenty of their sled dogs, which means that they could not escape the pursuit of these giants.
Yang Xianmao stared at the messy palm prints on the snow, and suddenly, he asked a strange question: "Could it be that these giants are crawling on the ground?"
Huang Qiaoqiao also felt a pang in his heart, yes, if it is a human being, if a person eats, the big deal is to sit on the ground and eat, and he will never lie on the ground with his hands and feet, and bite with his mouth. Hands are used to hold things, not to support the body. If his hands were used to hold on to the ground, rather than to hold things, would it prove that the giants were walking entirely on their hands and feet?
And this discovery made Huang Qiaoqiao feel even more numb, if these people were walking normally like them, he didn't feel how scared, the other party was nothing more than fierce, and he could fight if he really encountered it, but if the other party was crawling on the ground with his hands and feet, then he didn't know what kind of monster they were, they were definitely not people, people wouldn't walk like this. In the face of a monster that uses both hands and feet, she has no bottom in her heart.
Before Huang Qiaoqiao could recover from his fright, Yang Xianmao said another sentence, which made him feel creepy. What Yang Xianmao said was: "Why are there only handprints on the ground, no footprints, or knee marks?"
Indeed, when they looked at the handprints near the bloodstains, there were no footprints other than handprints, no dents left by kneeling in the snow, or traces of dragging. Does this mean that the monster is walking with his hands, or does it have a pair of feet that look like human hands and have five fingers?
Hearing this, Huang Qiaoqiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "By the way, I once saw an animal called a baboon, its feet look like human hands, but the fingers are not that long, maybe this monster is similar to a baboon, but its toes are longer than a baboon." ”
Subconsciously, Huang Qiaoqiao preferred to believe that it was an animal that hunted their sled dogs, not giants or monsters, and if it was an animal, there was nothing to be afraid of. They are in the wilderness and are sure to encounter a wide variety of animals. Animals are much less dangerous to them than humans.
Yang Xianmao glanced at her and did not speak. But another thought popped up in my heart. If he said this thought, it would make Huang Qiaoqiao even more worried. That is, if the monster's feet are as long as human hands, it means that it has a pair of feet that are as dexterous as human hands, and if it faces a monster with the same dexterity as its heels and hands, it is afraid that it will be more terrifying than a normal person.
Yang Xianmao didn't say anything more, he needed to keep the dog he left behind now, and really find the terrifying monster, even if he fought with him, he couldn't let it eat the remaining sixty sled dogs, otherwise, they would not be able to leave this vast ice field.
Of course, he had another option, which was to turn back at once and replenish forty more sled dogs.
But the problem was that these sled dogs had been obtained from the seat of the tribe of the chieftain of the Urangai, and after leaving that place, they traveled thousands of miles further north, and they did not see any sled dogs along the way. That is, they will either have to return to the seat of the chieftain of the Woorangai in order to be replenished with excellent sled dogs. In that case, the time spent along the way will most likely make it impossible for them to reach the extreme arctic cold at the winter solstice.
Therefore, Yang Xianmao only hesitated for a moment, and immediately made a decision, because the remaining sixty sled dogs, if they were used well, if they were not damaged, would be enough for them to go back and forth smoothly.
Yang Xianmao took Huang Qiaoqiao back to the tent and began to pack up his things, and quickly dismantled the tent, packed up his things, and loaded them into the sleigh.
Now there is a troublesome thing, when they lost sixteen dogs before, the sled was already a little difficult to pull, and now it has lost another twenty-four, and the remaining sled dogs are afraid that it will be more difficult to pull five sled cars.
However, everything on the sleigh is very important and cannot be abandoned, Yang Xianmao gritted his teeth and said to Huang Qiaoqiao: "We can only redivide it, and at the same time take two more breaks on the road to give the dog a rest time to breathe." ”
And this is exactly what Huang Qiaoqiao wants, she feels that she only stops once on the road for lunch, and the rest of the time she stays inactive on the sled, and her hands and feet are really cold. If it would be better to be able to stop twice on the road and rest and move her hands and feet, of course she nodded her head in agreement.
So, they took sixty dogs, pulled five sleds each, and drove the sleds on their way north.
The number of sled dogs pulling the sled has been reduced by nearly half, and the things on the sled are heavy, so the sled dogs pull very hard, while barking and running desperately. That kind of spirit of desperate effort made Yang Xianmao and Huang Qiaoqiao feel very moved in their hearts.
On the way, Yang Xianmao took two more breaks so that the sled dogs and them both got a rest.
When the time came, stop to rest and set up the tent. The two fed the sled dogs, sat by the fire in the tent, cooked beef broth, and roasted meatloaf.
Yang Xianmao said to Huang Qiaoqiao: "You sleep tonight, I'll keep an eye on it to see what kind of monster is attacking us." Our dogs can't die anymore. - Uh...... At night I am on duty, and during the day I sleep on the sleigh, and you lead the way. ”
The reason why Yang Xianmao added this last sentence was because he saw that Huang Qiaoqiao wanted to object, and she was obviously unwilling to let Yang Xianmao take on this matter alone. So he preemptively said it.
Huang Qiaoqiao nodded after hearing Yang Xianmao say this, he also felt that this might be the best way, they had to leave someone to supervise to prevent the monsters that might appear at night from coming to hunt their sled dogs again. In that case, they'd be in a desperate situation.
So, that night, Huang Qiaoqiao went to sleep in the tent, while Yang Xianmao sat on the bunk cover, and opened the curtain of the tent a small opening, and you could see the movement of the sled dogs outside.
The snow was not heavy that night, and he could see dozens of paces away, the sled dogs were right next to their camp, and all the sled dogs were within his sight, and he could see any movement. In his right hand he held the black dagger that was as sharp as clay.
The quiet night passed slowly, although the day here is the same as the night, but Yang Xianmao and Huang Qiaoqiao still regard the normal day hour as day, and the night hour as night. Although it is actually the same day and night, it is actually the same.
He knew that if the monster appeared, it would definitely be able to bite the sled dog without a trace and drag it away and eat it, so he couldn't rely on hearing, he could only stare at it, and he couldn't lose his mind for even a moment. He kept his eyes open and watched everything outside the tent.
Such a continuous and silent latent observation was not a problem for him who had cultivated his true protection before, but now, he no longer had the help of cultivation mana, all the pills had lost their effect, and all the pills with magic power had also lost their effect, in this case, what else could he count on?
Yang Xianmao kept staring, not daring to let herself sleep. When he was sleepy, he used five fowls to keep himself awake. The function of the five birds is very wonderful, when you want to sleep, run it, it will help you fall asleep. When you're awake, he will help you stay awake. The key is to use different exercises. The five exercises have five different effects.
The night passed quietly, and Yang Xianmao couldn't even feel the passage of time, because he had been staring outside. On the snowfield, the sixty sled dogs lying quietly in the snow.
That night, nothing happened. Yang Xianmao kept this position until Huang Qiaoqiao woke up and asked, "How is it?"
"It's fine. ”
Yang Xianmao shook his stiff neck, he had already squatted behind the curtain of the tent, quietly watching outside all night. His face, nose, and lips were numb from the cold wind blowing through the cracks.
But that night, nothing happened.
Under his nose, all sixty sled dogs lay silently on the snowy field.
He and Huang Qiaoqiao opened the curtain and came out, and when they saw that the sled dogs were all just looking back at him blankly, there were quite a few after counting, and there was no trace on the ground.
Yang Xianmao just hid behind the curtain of the tent and looked out through the gap two fingers wide. Could it be that the two-foot-wide gap made the terrifying giant humanoid monster aware that he was watching and sensing potential danger?
The giant who ate the sled dog did not appear, which made Huang Qiaoqiao breathe a sigh of relief, but it made Yang Xianmao's heart tighten even more. Could it be that the monster could have seen everything they were doing, and knew that he was peeping in the shadows, so he didn't show up at all?
Although they didn't lose a single sled dog that night, and the monster didn't take a single sled dog from them, there was a horror in Yang Xianmao's heart that was stronger than the fear brought by the previous two dawns. Because, the opponent they face is likely to have stronger intelligence than he imagined.
