One

In the vast grassland, a cavalry of 30 men rushed quickly, each dressed in uniform orange clothing, a soft armor, equipped with a long sword, and carrying a longbow.

This team set off from Heyang Village, and it seemed that they could not abide by the village rules and ran straight out.

The dress of the leader is slightly different, the orange clothes are embellished with more patterns, the golden armor, each scale exudes a dazzling light, the long sword is unusually wide, hidden in the scabbard wrapped in deerskin, it can still feel its murderous aura from afar, the black leather boots are tattooed with gold patterns, symbolizing the dignity of status, the horse under the crotch is even rarer, the whole body is white without a single miscellaneous hair, the thick ponytail, long but not messy, strong limbs, the color of the hair is shiny, and he does not feel tired in the rapid running, it is Aza's mount blizzard. After Azam lent it to Mulberry at the conference, it was never returned, and Azam seems to have acquiesced.

Sang Mu hurriedly whipped his horsewhip, and the blizzard lived up to his promise, taking the lead, running faster and faster, and the horses behind him could only watch him farther and farther.

Within half a day, they came to the vicinity of the Shiquan River, where there was already a panic, making the muddy land more difficult to walk, the washed down trees were lying on the ground, stones of different sizes blocked the road, everyone had to pick a good way to go, but in fact, people carried horses in the place where they did not go in the past, and opened up a new road, and when they approached the river, it was already dusk.

Some of the soldiers were somewhat sleepy, and Sang Mu was very anxious, but he still went his own way, completely ignoring the others, and still searched along the river, for fear of missing something.

These soldiers were chosen to protect Aza, without complaint, and fulfilled the nature of a soldier - absolute obedience to orders.

When night fell, the weather was a little cool, and it happened to get rid of the heat on my body, which made people a little lighter, and the pace was much faster than before.

The moon was particularly round tonight, and from time to time there was the cry of owls in the woods, and the shadows were reflected in the springs.

One of the guards said, "Report to the captain, the road ahead is impassable, so you have to take a detour." ”

Kuangki: "Got it. ”

At this time, everyone stood still and waited for him to give orders.

Mulberry said firmly, "Keep going." ”

The procession marched neatly into the depths of the forest.

Although this is under the jurisdiction of Heyang Village, it is one with the Mystic Forest, and it is a place that is expressly forbidden to be reached in the village, so even the Vulcan Battalion, which is responsible for the security of the perimeter, knows very little about it, let alone the guards in charge of the village's guards.

The first time I walked in this strange woods, the horses were a little nervous, I didn't feel that I had slowed down, and then I looked at the woods around me more and more densely, blocking the bright moonlight, only to feel that the more and more cold I walked, I don't know how long I walked, there was a faint light from the depths of the dark woods, everyone opened their eyes and looked at it again, thinking that it was an illusion - there was a dilapidated low house...

That's right, this low house is the residence of Mu Ke's third grandfather, and Sang Mu is also curious, besides, people are sleepy and horses are tired, even if the warriors do not complain, the horses will not be able to hold on, so he decided to spend the night here.

By this time the old dog had fallen asleep, and when he heard the sound of noisy footsteps in his ears and thought he was dreaming, he opened his eyes lazily, and then there was a roar, and the old horse was awakened and neighed together.

Although they were old and their voices were not so loud, they still alarmed the old people in the room.

The old man still held a lamp in one hand and a knife in the other, vigilantly opened the door and looked around, then his eyes swept to Sang Mu, and the two looked at each other.

Sang Mu did not dismount, and then the guard next to him said: "Old man, it is getting late, let's spend the night here." ”

The old man did not speak, but slowly closed the door and sent a closed door.

This guard is also considered to be a high-ranking position in the village, where has he received such treatment, and then he drew his long sword and planned to dismantle the door.

Sang Mu scolded loudly: "Presumptuous, retreat, and take fifty military sticks when you go back." ”

The guard was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy, and the people did not dare to intercede.

Sang Mu asked viciously, "Are you guilty?" ”

The guard nodded as if pounding garlic: "The villain is guilty, and he won't dare next time." ”

Seeing that Sang Mu's tone was somewhat relaxed, everyone immediately stepped forward to plead.

Sang Mu secretly thought that now was the time to employ people, and it would not end well if he made them all complain: "This military stick will be written down first, and then you will make a decision after seeing your future performance." ”

The guard was relieved and thankful: "Thank you, my lord, the little one must have sold his life to find Lord Muke." ”

At this time, the door of the house opened quickly, and the old man asked suspiciously, "Who did you just say?"

The guard was also well-behaved, and said with a smile, "Have you seen Lord Mu Ke?"

The old man muttered, "I've returned to the village, why are people still looking for me?"

Sang Mu: "Old man, who did you say went back to the village?"

Old man: "Back to my lord, more than a month ago, Mu Ke returned to the village. ”

The guard suddenly said loudly: "You old thing, are you making fun of adults, don't ask around if you don't know, Lord Mu Ke has just been missing for a week, where did he come from and returned to the village a month ago." ”

Sang Mu glared at the guard, and he shrank back in fright, and then the old man anxiously asked, "What's wrong with Mu Ke, why did he disappear?"

Sang Mu saw that the old man cared so much, and he must have an unusual relationship with Mu Ke, but after dating Mu Ke for so long, he knew that he was used to being alone, and he had never heard any news about the old man, so he immediately asked: "I don't know who the old man is, is he very familiar with Mu Ke?"

Old man: "Back to my lord, I am his third grandfather." ”

Sang Mu was stunned, and everyone was even more stunned, wasn't Mu Ke's third grandfather the famous former elder Wood Master?

Mulberry immediately dismounted and saluted, and everyone followed suit, and the guard trembled with fright, and hurriedly apologized and begged for forgiveness.

The old man helped Sang Mu up, exempted everyone from courtesy, and ignored the guard: "Tell me quickly, what happened to Mu Ke?"

Sang Mu explained the cause and effect clearly, and the old man suddenly stumbled, but fortunately, Sang Mu reacted quickly and grabbed him.

Old man: "If this is the case, I am afraid that it is more than lucky, even if I am not drowned in the flood, I am afraid that I will not survive in the mysterious forest, my hard-working child." He wiped tears from his eyes.

Sang Mu: "Third grandfather, don't worry, I will definitely get him back." ”

The old man nodded with satisfaction: "It's really Mu Ke's blessing to have a friend like you who is willing to die for him." ”

Then he asked, "I wonder how many days of dry food you have brought with you, tents, change of clothes, medicines, whether you have brought them." ”

Sang Mu replied hesitantly: "Today came suddenly, and I didn't make a long-term plan." ”

The old man took a breath of cold air: "It's good that you met me today, otherwise I'm afraid you would also be trapped in the woods." ”

Two

Mu Ke and the others finished eating the tiger meat, packed up, and were about to leave.

​

At this time, there was a rapid salsa sound in the grass in the distance, which seemed to be very long, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and the two hurriedly hid in the thick grass, holding their breath, and the salsa sound seemed to be getting more and more mixed, coming from different directions, and sounding even more rapid than just now.

What the hell is it, is it a rabbit?

The voice seemed to come to the feet, the two of them carefully investigated, for fear of missing something, at this time the grass was the first to show a head, the head was as big as a bucket, smooth without a hair, the head was covered with scales, there was no expression on the face, the mouth kept sticking out the tongue, it was a python, not it should be said to be a giant python, after a while it showed its body, the gray scales were unusually obvious on the grass, it squirmed and wriggled, it seemed to move not very quickly, and then after a while most of the body was exposed, about 15 meters long, the smooth body had a perfect streamline, but it was deformed when it reached the abdomen, as if it was a pregnant bulge。

This python is the owner of the hole, at this time it has just come back from foraging, because he usually devours live animals, it takes 4-5 days to digest food, so the snake that has eaten is the weakest time, it just wants to return to the nest quickly and sleep beautifully.

Irina was most afraid of snakes, and almost screamed when she saw it, but fortunately Mu Ke stopped her.

Mu Ke: "Let's go, don't disturb it." ”

Irina nodded quickly.

At this time, a few rare faces quickly sprang out of the grass in front of them, more and more, there were more than 20 in the blink of an eye, they viciously tore the scales of the giant python in turn, and after a while, the scales began to fall off, revealing tender flesh.

It should also be that this snake is unlucky, what to eat is not good, today preyed on a wolf that was scattered, and when it was swallowed, it happened to be discovered by other wolves, which attracted the pursuit of wolves.

The python had no intention of fighting, looking at the nearby cave, and burrowed into it without looking back.

The wolves were willing to give up, and seeing that the python did not resist, they changed their caution and stepped forward to bite, which is also strange to say, they seem to have organized bites, some bite their tails, some bite their necks, and most of them are biting their abdomen.

The python felt a huge pain, and knew that he couldn't run away, so he immediately turned back and counterattacked, but was attacked by several wolves left and right, and at this entanglement, the python's abdomen was completely torn open with a big hole, and the internal organs were spilled out in an instant, and a wolf's figure was revealed in a pool of blood, but unfortunately the wolf had lost his breath.

Irina closed her eyes in horror, thinking about the bloody images in her mind and still wanting to vomit.

Even though Mu Ke was a man, he didn't feel a cold sweat.

Looking at the slain companions, the wolves let out a wail, causing a panic in the woods, and soon the python was also eaten by the wolves.

At this time, someone in the wolf pack seemed to sense something, and cautiously approached Mu Ke, sniffing incessantly.

Mu Ke lowered his head before he realized: "It's not good, I'm covered in the blood of a tiger, and I must have discovered us with the wolf's sense of smell." ”

The wolf let out a low intimidating sound at the grass, and the wolves gathered.

Seeing that he couldn't hide anymore, Mu Ke boldly walked out and told Irina not to come out.

When the wolves suddenly saw humans, they also seemed to be a little frightened, and they all took a few steps back, sniffing from a distance, and then the wolf in the lead howled loudly.

This sound spread as quickly as a plague, and then the wolves all over the forest responded, and Mu Ke was not surprised, hearing this cry, the number of wolves was not less than a thousand.

It wasn't until the last wolf roared that the forest returned to calm, and the wolves in front of him ran away without looking back...

Mu Ke was left standing there, not knowing whether it was good or bad.
