The twilight sun set down the western grassland, and the sky rolled up with black clouds, leaking out a few sparse stars, and the howling cold wind was like the sound of gluttony. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two horsemen stopped at the entrance to the forest, and General Marco ordered Ji An to dismount.

General Marco took out the flint on his body, lit the end of a long piece of wood, handed it to Ji'an, and then gave the order: "From this forest through, near the cliff, there is a hidden rock crack, and there is a petroglyph in the middle of the rock crevice, come back and tell me what is painted on it." ”

Ji An glanced at the torch that was almost extinguished by the wind, and hurriedly said, "Report to the general, can you give me the flint too?" ”

As we all know, wolves cherish their lives and are afraid of fire, holding this wooden handle is like a life talisman, as long as they do not encounter a large number of wolves, the lone wolf will basically not attack him rashly...... But if you go halfway and the fire is extinguished, it's hard to say.

General Marco nodded.

Ji An put the flint in his pocket, and walked into the wooded jungle with a torch in one hand and a dagger prepared in the other.

The climate here is more humid than the grassland, and the terrain is gentle, and the road is not rough, but in the dark night, every tree looks exactly the same.

Ji An was worried that he would be lost in this forest labyrinth, so he could only mark with a dagger wherever he went.

In the dark depths of the desert, the light of the fire in his hand became the most important guiding light, so that he would not be digested in the vast darkness of the night.

Suddenly, a howl in the distance pierced the silent sky, although the distance was very far, but the wolf howl still reminded Ji An: this is the territory of the wolf, and as long as he is discovered, he will definitely be regarded as an invader of the territory.

His greatest fear was when the torches were extinguished several times in the middle of the process—as if several wolves were waiting in the dark corners with red eyes, waiting for him to be unprepared and kill him with a stunt to warn the world never to set foot in their territory.

Ji An listened unusually vigilantly. The wind was blowing, and every sound was a warning to him, and he pricked up his ears and walked slowly.

At last, he saw the crevice in the rock that General Mark had spoken, and that the narrowest part of the entrance could only accommodate one person, and he immediately slipped into it, like a deer that had survived the catastrophe, and had a chance to survive for the time being.

He walked out into the open area of the rock, carefully pasted the light of the fire, and examined the petroglyphs drawn on the stone wall: the stone face was two square meters, slightly lower than two meters high, and on the wall was a picture of a man pulling a deer, to be exact, an elk.

When he was a child, Yan Mu liked to watch all kinds of animal documentaries the most, and Ji An remembered that Yan Mu told him: Among cervids, sika deer, red deer, moose, etc. are all short-tailed, and only the elk is long-tailed. Therefore, the animal with a long tail and horns on the head must be an elk.

Since he didn't know if General Marco would ask for details, even though Ji An wanted to escape from the forest as soon as possible, he still dared to continue to look at the painting and not let go of any tiny place.

When Ji An was about to go through the rock crack to the other side to see clearly, a frightened wolf rushed in, and happened to meet Ji An's eyes.

The inner corners of the wolf's eyes are low and the outer corners are high, which are more vivid than the hanging eyes drawn by Peking Opera actors, and the iris is yellow, just like the lamp that shines directly on the prisoner in the interrogation room, with an invisible penetrating power, as if it can peek into the hearts of others.

All this came so suddenly that Ji An didn't even have time to be afraid, but the wolf suddenly lay on the ground, lazily squinting at him.

Ji An looked at it, its pupils were much larger than ordinary wolves, and the jet-black circle almost covered half of the yellow iris, so that face revealed a bit of cuteness belonging to pets such as kittens and dogs.

The steppe wolf is naturally smaller than the North American gray wolf, it is a few points smaller than the average steppe wolf, perhaps because it is a juvenile, and its shape is very similar to that of a dog.

It closed its mouth, hid its fangs, and looked like it was lying on the ground, which for a moment created the illusion that a wolf dog was indistinguishable.

The strangest thing was that it actually emitted a colorful glow, which was the first time Ji An had seen this kind of glow from an animal other than humans.

The wolf just held its head high and looked at Ji An and the torch in his hand, not as afraid of fire as rumored, Ji An saw its tail curled up around his feet, very lazy.

In this process of seeing and being seen, curiosity occupies Ji An's heart.

Why did this wolf rush in? Could it be that something is going on outside?

Even though this dog-like wolf didn't seem to have any intention of attacking him, it was a wolf after all, so Ji An didn't step over it directly, but just went around to the end of the rock crevice to look at it.

On the edge of the cliff lay another wolf, the larger one, with its back to Ji'an, as if looking down on the forest in the shadows.

The giant wolf was lying quietly on the edge of the cliff, its ears moving a little as the wind blew through its scattered silver hairs.

Suddenly, the giant wolf realized something and stood up.

Ji An thought that he had revealed his whereabouts, but unexpectedly another gray wolf appeared, and the gray wolf accelerated with all his strength to rush towards the white giant wolf, and at the moment when the two wolves touched, the white giant wolf flashed to the side, stretched out his right paw to grab the gray wolf's abdomen, but the gray wolf turned over and got rid of the attack, and pounced on the white giant wolf again, and the two wolves scuffled.

At the time of the earthquake, roars and howls filled the entire mountain.

Ji An suddenly understood.

Yan Mu once said that although wolves are united, they also have a clear hierarchy, and they will choose the steepest rock on the cliff as a symbol of supreme authority in the wolf pack.

Tonight, it is the struggle of two wolves for the status of king.

Ji An found that although the white giant wolf's bite technique was more varied, his actions were gradually slowing down, but the gray wolf was becoming more and more courageous, and his advantages in speed and strength became more and more obvious.

Finally, a strong, pungent smell of blood filled the air - the winner was decided.

The white wolf fell to the ground with a crooked body.

The gray wolf leaned down, sniffed, and made sure that the white wolf was dead, so he let out a cry of ecstasy, and then slid down against the rock, eager to announce his victory.

Wolves, although they also fight each other, are not in the habit of eating their own kind.

With the departure of the gray wolf, Ji An knew that this was his best chance to get out, he immediately got out, only to find that the little wolf who was in the same "room" with him, the wolf that looked like a dog, ran out quickly, it lowered its head and kept arching the white giant wolf, like a child who spoiled his parents.

It's just that the giant wolf has long been stiff, and there is still dark red blood on its neck, and it is impossible to give any reaction.

I don't know if it's Ji An's illusion, he seems to see the little wolf looking at him with tears in his eyes.

Do wolves shed tears? Do wolves speak with their eyes? Ji An didn't know, but he seemed to really feel some kind of emotional connection between him and the little wolf.

It was begging him to do one thing for it......
