Chapter 20: The Trek of Death

"Childe, it's no good, we're being targeted by wild wolves!"

Ai Ye whispered in horror, almost crying.

In an instant, Xie Xiang actually had a kind of madness that wanted to laugh.

Let's just say, how can such a deep mountain be so peaceful? Sure enough, there were beasts.

Well, it's already a fluke, I think he and Ai Ye have been wandering around blindly since last night until now, and they were only discovered by the wild wolf, which shows that the beasts in this mountain are not very dedicated.

Xie Xiang really wanted to go back and see what the real ancient wild wolf looked like, so as not to bury himself in the wolf's belly immediately and not know what his grave looked like?

However, Ai Ye, who was about to cry, reacted as fast as ever, and he jumped up quickly and rushed to the side of a big tree in front of him that happened to be cut down by the lightning fire.

"Don't look back, come here, Childe, grandpa said, when you meet these things, you have to find a good guy first."

Fear had already made Xie Xiang forget that it was a young child who was commanding him at this moment, and he really didn't look back at the angry thing behind him, and rushed to Ai Ye's side.

Xie Xiang couldn't believe that the young Ai Ye was already holding a thick stick in his hand.

He couldn't even figure out how Ai Ye had broken that wooden stick from the big tree.

"They're smart and they're going to wait until we run out of energy...... Now it's time for us to run out of the mountains...... Childe, what should I do? ”

Seeing that Xie Xiang had desperately broken a thicker wooden stick and held it in his hand, Ai Ye said loudly.

Xie Xiang held the wooden stick in his hand before he dared to take a closer look at the wild things that were still a little hidden.

At first glance, his heart suddenly cooled in half.

This is not one or two, except for the two horses that are particularly tall in the lead, the rest of the big and small, there are six or seven wild wolves.

It looks like a family round-up.

"What? So, did they already know that we were in the mountains? ”

Xie Xiang's heart was already full of sadness, there are really tigers in the city and wolves in the mountains, the way of this world is not to let people live!

"It seems to be ......"

Ai Ye couldn't hide the horror on his little face, he even looked at some of the thicker trees that grew on the cliffs, if he was alone, when he met these wild wolves, he would definitely choose to go up the trees to avoid without hesitation, because wolves can't climb trees.

However, he immediately thought that this son's brother would definitely not be able to climb a tree, and if he left him alone to climb a tree and escape, it would be too unrighteous.

Since Brother Childe has never abandoned him, even if he dies, he will not leave Brother Childe alone to face these vicious wolves.

Therefore, Ai Ye immediately withdrew his gaze.

"Grandpa said that wild wolves are hemp legs, they are naturally afraid of people, and wild boars are the most terrible, but it is not autumn, and wild boars rarely run out to forage. If there are many of us, and we all have strength, the wild wolves will hide far away even if they see it......"

Ai Ye was a little sad, if he was already a powerful man, even if he was alone, he would not be afraid of this wild wolf with hemp legs, and he could protect his brother.

Fortunately, those wolves who had already followed Xie Xiang Aiye to a very close distance, out of the instinctive fear of human beings in the daylight, especially Xie Xiang was still a tall and middle-aged man, so he didn't dare to kill rashly.

The wild wolves in the mountains are not as good as the wolves on the grassland, they can only prey on some very small animals in the mountains, and the limitations of the rugged mountain roads do not have much tempering against the enemy, so they are much worse in running courage.

Moreover, the wolves in the inland mountains are not very numerous, and it is difficult to carry out an organized hunt. Just like these small groups of wild wolves that are tracking Xie Xiang and Ai Ye, there are only a few big wolves with combat effectiveness, so these wolves hope that Xie Xiang and Ai Ye will be weaker.

But only if they can't run out of the mountains.

Now, the wolves who were following suddenly saw the two tired prey in front of them, and suddenly became a little busy.

However, these scorching wolves had no intention of giving up, but only became more agitated.

Xie Xiang's greater regret at this moment turned out to be why he didn't bring the Golden Snake Sword?

Sure enough, people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries.

Even if it was ominous, even if it was heavy, I believe that he and Ai Ye wielded a cold and glittering sword in their hands, which must have made these wild wolves fear and retreat more than wielding a tree stick.

"Ai Ye, do you see the big tree on the cliff? If these wolves pounce, run over and climb up the trees......"

Xie Xiang felt that the righteousness he could do was the only way to do it.

"Childe, what about you?"

Ai Ye immediately asked.

Xie Xiang shook his head helplessly: "I don't know how to climb trees anymore......"

Indeed, when he was a child, when he and Xia Xueyi were naughty, they climbed the trees at the entrance of the village a few times, including the big banyan tree that Xia Xueyi hid him in the hollow of the tree later.

But then he gradually became obsolete of this amateur skill, and who knows that he could climb trees and use it to escape?

I knew it was like this, and he used to practice climbing trees when he was lazy to read and doze around with nothing to doze.

Even if he was indeed frightened, Xie Xiang knew very well in his heart that if he was not agile enough, under the siege of these wild wolves, clumsily climbing up the tree would be tantamount to being torn apart faster by them.

It makes sense for him to ask Ai Ye to climb up the tree, first he can stop these wild wolves for a while, and then, with the lightness of Ai Ye climbing the cliff, it is conceivable that there must be no problem in climbing a big tree.

And under normal circumstances, wild children are very good at these things that are crawling.

Xie Xiang asked himself that he had never been a living bodhisattva who was willing to sacrifice his life to feed the tiger, and he was not great in heart, this kind of decision was just a choice he had no choice.

If sacrifice is necessary, it must be minimized.

It's better to die one than two.

This is the most practical thought, and there is not the slightest great reason to elaborate.

However, Ai Ye's answer was even more tragic: "I don't, Childe, Ai Ye is dead, and I have to deal with them with you!" ”

He didn't even look at the big trees that grew on the cliffside that could make him flee for his life, and his two small hands only grasped the sticks in their hands more tightly.

"Artemisia ......"

Xie Xiang whimpered a little, this little child loyally made people cry.

"Childe, you see, these wild creatures are still a little afraid of us, as long as they don't dare to pounce, we will hurry out of the mountain, maybe we will meet the passing hunters, in that case, we will be saved."

The horror on Ai Yexiao's face didn't know when it had disappeared, and it was replaced by a sonorous and resolute face that made Xie Xiang feel ashamed.

For the first time, Xie Xiang truly understood that some people are born brave, even if he is still just a little child.

"Hmm", Xie Xiang nodded vigorously, "But what if we just run and can't see behind, and they suddenly pounce on us?" ”

To be honest, Xie Xiang really has no experience in dealing with these things.

He had no choice but to put the huge responsibility of taking the idea back into the hands of little Ai Ye.

"Look at me, these things are scared of loud noises, so let's scare them off a little bit."

After Ai Ye finished speaking, he waved the wooden stick in his hand decently, opened the bow left and right, and desperately beat the weeds and basils around him, making a loud fluffy sound.

Sure enough, those wild wolves that were originally very close didn't know what Ai Ye was going to do, so they jumped behind one after another, and a young wolf was so frightened that he sat next to a rock.

Xie Xiang's fear immediately decreased.

It turns out that these angry wild wolves are also strong on the outside and dry in the middle, without being frightened.

In fact, Xie Xiang didn't understand that some animals are naturally afraid of light and sound, and he and Ai Ye are currently lucky because it is almost noon.

Xie Xiang suddenly came to his senses and shouted to Ai Ye: "Ai Ye, don't run out of strength, you run first, I'll scare them!" ”

After all, he is an adult, and when he musters up courage, he must be braver than a child.

As long as he can temporarily scare off these guys who are eyeing him, even if he meets a person who collects medicine, he and Ai Ye will have a much better chance of survival.

The stick in Xie Xiang's hand was much thicker than Ai Ye's, he deliberately took a few steps forward, and out of a strong desire for business, he tried his best to smash down some of the taller shrubs and basils.

There were a few loud noises, and with the branches and leaves of those bushes, six or seven wild wolves, who were already a little frightened, were so frightened that they fled in all directions.

"Childe, let's go!"

It's a real outlaw horror road.

Compared to yesterday's evening and night, the situation is much more pressing.

The attack of those snakes and scorpions yesterday evening was only based on a kind of terror in terms of stinging, and Xie Xiang still carried a pill given by He Hongyao in his arms, no matter what, he was somewhat psychologically dependent.

Seeing the scene that happened outside in the cave at night, although it was terrifying, after all, there was no real psychological deterrence on them, especially after listening to the conversation between the two old men, Xie Xiang and Ai Ye just felt terrifying, but as long as they kept quiet, the danger seemed to be minimized.

Now, it's completely different.

First of all, they are very tired.

Then, the wild wolves, who were temporarily frightened and took a few steps back, completely put on an attitude of resolute not to give up, and soon followed unhurriedly.

Hunger had debilitated them severely, and the reason why the wild wolves dared to swagger and follow them was because they saw their obvious weakness and weakness.

If the road under his feet was not a rugged mountain road, Xie Xiang would also thank the blue sky above his head for a few words, at least he could run as fast as a child; Aiye is much lighter than him.

Everyone knows that for a scholar who grew up in a comfortable environment, suddenly asking him to trek on the mountain road is tantamount to asking a person who has never been through an acrobatic performance to go up to Daoshan Mountain.
