Chapter 66: A Chance Encounter with a Sand Fox

Dekang's right limb pointed to the hoof prints and drew an arc in the air at the bend: "You see, although the hoof prints at the bend are messy, there is no sign of scattering, which shows that the donkeys run in a big arc and follow the donkey to turn naturally; If it is ambushed or chased, the marching team will inevitably disperse in an instant, and emergency turns and sharp turns are the normal reaction in that situation, and there will never be such a natural large arc.

Baoyue and the others were stunned when they heard it: "This is amazing! ’

Dekang inadvertently penetrated the huge arc-shaped bank created by the diversion of the Haxia River at the three-way junction, so he saw the hoof prints of the donkeys in front of him at a glance, and after a little thought, he figured out the information contained in it.

How can ordinary jackals and wolves pay attention to these inconspicuous details.

"There is no opponent within two thousand paces ahead, go ahead." Dekang said to the thorn.

Thorn nodded vigorously and ran forward to continue his path.

He found that even as a direct warrior of the proud Jackal Clan's great leader, Dekang's strength and wisdom were far beyond his imagination.

As the sky grew dark, Decon ordered Scud to come forward and tell the Thorn to continue exploring his path until he was close to the west of Montene.

Although Baoyue didn't care about traveling at night, she felt that it was not necessary, so she asked on the side: "Second brother." Anyway, this is the road, it's not all the same to go early and late, and besides, the fugitives are still behind? ”

Hearing Baoyue speak, the scud who was about to leave turned to look at Dekang, who waved his forelegs at him: "Don't delay, go." ”

When the scud ran away, Dekang explained the reason to Baoyue carefully: "Originally, from Ayahu Lake to the Kumu Desert were the territory of our Dekang family, but with the continuous influx of humans, our ancestors had to retreat from Ayahu, and then humans invaded the Kardun Grassland, so we still had to withdraw?" ”

"Second brother. Didn't you say that there were very few humans in the Karldun area, so why hold back? Baoyue was puzzled.

Dekang nodded: "There are not many humans in Ayahu, and in summer, humans mainly live in the Shahe area for a long time, and they herd large herds of small fat sheep and yaks. However, Ah Da warned us that we must disengage with human beings and keep a safe distance so that they will not be aware of our presence. Once human beings are aware of the activities of our Dekang family, because our physique is completely different from that of ordinary steppe wolf clans, human beings will definitely come in to find out, then our family will not want to be peaceful in Altyn, and will probably have to go away, but where can we find a peaceful place to live in this land! ”

"Abominable human beings ... Second brother. Didn't you say there was a way to deal with them? ”

Dekang was noncommittal: "After subduing the wolf clan and jackal clan on the grassland, I will make plans, and at present, this little bit of power will fight against humans, which is to find death." ”

"Hmmm... By the way, it has nothing to do with traveling at night. Baoyue remembered the original question.

Dekang shook his head: "Of course it matters. Disengagement must establish a buffer zone, and the pass outside Montenegro is already a buffer zone, where any character may exist, and any situation can happen, so the second brother must rush to the vicinity of Montenegro day and night, and then raise his spirit to get out of the pass. ”

"I see." Baoyue suddenly realized, cheered up and ran forward with Dekang.

The small group did not rush to the foot of the Black Mountain in one go, but camped on a relatively flat sandy land between the Langya Mountain and the Black Mountain, and there was no special situation, but when Dekang drove the donkey herd before, Baoyue and they used all their strength to chase him, resulting in obvious physical strength after nightfall, and Dekang had to order to rest on the spot.

Despite the snow-covered ground, Dekang was able to discern that he was located about the east side of a small lake, halfway between the two mountains.

This is a relatively safe area, Dekang hastily pulled a simple snow cave for Baoyue to climb in to sleep first, and the cave where Thorn Head and Scud were also pulled up about ten paces away on the opposite side was looking at Dekang who was walking towards them in confusion.

"You two should also hurry up and rest, and you will have to get over when it is dawn. I'm going to look around here for a while. Dekang instructed them not to be suspicious and suspicious.

This area is the most familiar and fruitful hunting ground for the Dekang family, and in different seasons, Altyn's various delicacies will magically appear here.

The last time Ah Da and Ah Ma went out hunting, they came to this area.

However, due to the thick snow cover, although Dekang thought about it all the way, he still didn't find any clues. Tonight he wanted to take a circle north of this flat area and see if he could get some gains.

The cold wind was bitter, and the snowflakes rolled up like long curtains, tumbling up and down, swaying from side to side and sweeping across the flat ground, and the visibility was so poor that Dekang could only keep his guard distance by straightening his ears and distinguishing even the slightest different sounds around him.

ran thousands of steps to the northeast, and Dekang didn't even see a little mouse, no wonder, such a cold wind, as long as it wasn't a character who was about to starve to death, who would want to come out to find guilt.

Dekang stopped to listen to the north for a while, then reluctantly turned around and ran west.

At this moment, the wind and snow hit him directly, the knife-like cold wind only drilled into the fur, and the snow beads continued to pour into the nostrils one after another, Dekang had to half-bow his head and go forward against the wind, which was completely different worlds from riding the wind to the east.

After a few hundred paces, Dekang felt that the possibility of trekking in such an environment to get a little clue was almost zero, he turned around and ran south diagonally back to the camp, the hateful snow beads continued to pour into his right ear, Dekang couldn't help but shiver, and finally had to hang his ears and shrink his neck to run forward.

Dekang shook off the snowflakes at the entrance of the snow cave and put the divine sword and climbed in, seeing that Baoyue had fallen asleep, except for the time when the little cub had just escaped, the rest of the day and night, as long as he could be with the second brother, everything else was not so important.

She seemed fearless.

Dekang closed his eyes and lay at the mouth of the snow cave and wanted to sleep for a while, but his mind was chaotic for some reason, and he seemed to be a little restless.

Listening to the cold wind howling outside, Dekang felt even more irritable.

He tightened his body and turned around, squeezing his head between Baoyue's ass and the cave wall, and began to fall asleep next to Baoyue.

Baoyue probably felt Dekang approaching, let out a few soft snorts in her nostrils, shrunk her body and continued to sleep.

The sky was slightly pale, and Dekang woke up somehow, only to realize that he had turned around again at some point, and his head was still towards the hole.

He pricked up his ears and listened to the movement outside, and there was nothing else to gain except the whirring wind.

He turned around and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, waiting until it was completely bright before getting up, Dekang's little movement from getting up disturbed Baoyue, who was about to wake up, she opened her eyes and glanced at them and closed them, and then asked, "Second brother." Is it dawn? ”

"The sun will shine into the cave in a little while." Dekang poked half of his head outside the cave and slammed the sword on his back as he spoke.

"Squint for a while, and then you'll get up." Baoyue is coquettish.

In the past, whenever Baoyue was woken up, she would immediately get up and follow Dekang, even if her mind was still confused.

Now, she will sleep for a while, of course, Baoyue will never admit that she sleeps lazily, in her words, waiting to wake up.

Dekang ignored her, stretching his forelimbs and kicking his hind legs at the entrance of the cave to warm up, and then running back and forth a few laps around the hole, activating his muscles and bones that became a little stiff.

The thorn and scud on the opposite side almost woke up, and when they heard Dekang's movement, they crawled out of the cave in turn, and they yawned and stretched out with their forelimbs, and then the two began to play and play, so as to rejuvenate their muscles and bones.

When they made such a fuss, Baoyue was no longer embarrassed to nest in the hole, and reluctantly crawled out of the hole to stretch her waist and stretch her muscles.

The small group nibbled on a few mouthfuls of snow, and Decon then ordered the Scud to leave a mark on the nearby rocks, and the group prepared to head east.

This time, Dekang asked Thorn Head and Scud to form a wide passage to explore the way forward, and Dekang asked them to see each other, and there could be no omission in the middle, and he and Baoyue followed up in the middle.

Such a small community formation is so big, Thorn Head and Scud are a little confused but they don't dare to ask, they look at each other suspiciously and lead away.

Baoyue is also a question mark, the second brother clearly said that the territory of the Dekang family is outside Montenegro, and there is a vast buffer area, why haven't you seen the shadow of Montenegro, but she is so cautious.

Shamelessly asked, Baoyue's good character in front of Dekang: "Second brother." How do you send out two samples, and make such a big passage on the left and right? ”

Dekang looked ahead: "This area used to be very safe, but for a whole winter, we haven't patrolled here, and now the specific situation here is difficult to say. ”

Baoyue nodded: "Second brother." You don't need such a wide passage to explore. ”

Dekang smiled at her: "Not bad." Our family Baoyue can also use her brains. ”

"How can there be anything like the stinky second brother said, Baoyue has always been very brainy and smart." Baoyue glared at Dekang unconvinced.

"My family Baoyue is the smartest!"

"Second brother... You haven't answered Baoyue yet... ”

"It's a surprise. As a last resort, the second brother doesn't want to be exposed, so that the enemy can't figure out our situation, and when necessary, the second brother can take them by surprise, so try to be cautious at the moment. ”

Hearing that there was a chance to fight, Baoyue was a little excited: "Second brother." When the time comes, Baoyue will rush to the front. ”

"Done. When the time comes, Baoyue will beat whoever she wants. "Dekang played a trick.

As we pushed forward a little further, the ground in front of us became a little higher and lower, and gullies began to appear in some places.

Dekang thought about it for a moment, and took Baoyue to catch up with the thorn on the left, and ordered him to leave a mark to the right, and then move closer to the flying hair, and advance along the south side of this undulating area, still maintaining a wide passage.

Baoyue took advantage of Dekang's order to climb a high point and look around, after looking at it for a while, she felt that it seemed that the left area was better than the right side, and ran over and asked Dekang: "Second brother." Baoyue felt that the area in the north was empty, why did she go to the south? ”

Dekang gently gave her a scalp: "Stupid." The terrain is much smaller, and the terrain is more complex for concealment, and you can get out of the mountain pass to the western edge of the Kardun Meadow. ”

Dekang pointed to the mountains in the south in the distance and said, "Baoyue, do you know what is behind the mountain?" ”

"I don't know, I haven't been here." Baoyue muttered quietly.

"Straight across the Alka Mountains is our Lake Beylik."

"Ahh It turned out that I had gone around such a big circle and ran to the other side of the mountain. ”

Dekang was speechless; 'A big circle... It's only been a few days and nights, and it's called a big circle to patrol around the whole Altyn. ’

I ran along the sand on the south side of the two dunes, and I saw that the scud on the top of the previous dune was running back.

"Second brother. There is a case. Baoyue became excited.

Scud ran over and gasped and reported, "Lord." The little ones found a nest of sand foxes in a hollow in front of them, and the little ones probably smelled the smell of the two of us, and they all retreated to the mouth of the cave to look around, and their stingheads watched over the top of the dune. ”

"Sand fox? Why didn't these samples run to the east, but they came here? Did you two show up? Dekang thought it was strange.

I wouldn't have come so early to catch the summer, and the southeast was always warmer than the Altyn region, so the sand foxes should have migrated there.

The little one ran up to the dunes and retracted his head at a glance, and the sand fox certainly didn't see it. The little ones know to be cautious. Scud explained, not forgetting the opportunity to show his skills.

Dekang squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "You go back immediately, surround it with the thorn head, and pretend to be a warrior sent by the big leader to hunt down the fugitives, first ask about the situation and then pick a clever sample and say that it is to lead the way, and I will send it to use." ”

'It was originally a warrior sent by the great chief to hunt down the fugitives, so there was no need to pretend. This time it was Scud's turn to be speechless.

"Baoyue and I don't want to be discovered by them, you two will drag it there for a while and continue to the east, warn the sand fox not to continue to the west, let's run south for a while and then go around." Dekang thought for a moment and then commanded.

Hearing that there was no part of herself, Baoyue curled her mouth, and at a glance she saw the scud stunned, and raised her forelimbs to be a scalp: "Sample." Don't go yet. ”

Scud exaggeratedly shrunk his head and covered his head: "Lord." Princess. The little fox is cunning, and there is nothing good. ”

"You're no better. Get out of here... Baoyue expertly kicked it up.

Scud fell to the ground and rolled twice.

"Baoyue. You open the way ahead, and we go. Dekang pulled off the footprints at the stop and acted immediately.

Baoyue was in front, and Dekang was in the back, running south.

Dekang was a bit strange when he ran, he looked a little limping as he stepped on Baoyue's footprints, and when the footpads left the snow, he would pull up a small snowflake backwards.

From behind, there was only a series of vague small snow pits behind them, and the footprints that could identify them were completely destroyed by Dekang Shun; Of course, this is more physically demanding, but Dekang doesn't want to kill the nest of sand foxes, so he can only ask for some hardship himself.

Dekang believes that as long as it is an enemy of mankind and as long as it is beneficial to the prairie, it can be an ally.

Dekang commanded Baoyue to run a long way south and then turned to the east, and after a while he began to look diagonally northeast, estimating that he had almost made a roundabout, running up to the top of the sand dunes to search for the Thorn Heads and their footprints, and the snow-white fields showed no signs of activity.

Dekang and Baoyue ran to the other side of the dune to wait, combing to escape the cold wind.

After waiting for a while, there seemed to be something different in the cold wind, Dekang quickly inhaled deeply and carefully distinguished, yes, the smell of the jackals.

Dekang rushed to the top of the mound in one breath and saw two black dots on the left and one on the right in the distance, and the black dots were at least a thousand apart; As the black dots get closer, the rhythm of the leap can be seen, and after a while, the black dots on the left become two and the right dot is still the same.

Thorn Head and Scud arrive with a young, sturdy sand fox to rendezvous.

The sand fox is not large, it looks a bit like a big rabbit from a distance, the fur on its body is light tan, his ears are more interesting, almost a standard triangle, and his tail is too conspicuous and familiar, with the same proportions as a large tail.

"Lord. The sand fox brought to you. Thorn Head and Scud licked Dekang and Baoyue's forefeet, wagged their tails around them a few times and began to report.

The new little character glanced at Dekang and Baoyue a little frightened and curious, and quickly clamped his big tail and lowered his head on the snow without saying a word.

"What's the situation?" Dekang asked the prick.

"The little one asked the leader, according to him, they have been operating on the edge of the prairie, this winter savannah is very cold, the snow is very, very thick, so they are forced to go all the way to the southwest to come here, and in the winter they are basically active in the Karldun meadows, and they have not been anywhere else." Thorn quickly replied.

"The little one also asked about the situation in the prairie." Thorn looked at Dekang cautiously.

"Speak."
