Volume 4 The Burning Prairie Chapter 77 Singing Lines
In the vast sea of clouds, a white-tailed flower eagle is hovering with its wings outstretched, and its sharp gaze is cast on the reckless grassland under the sea of clouds.
A group of wolf cavalry on the back of a wolf stood on the grassland, pointing at the white-tailed flower carvings in the sky, as if to say something, and one of them, a tall and sturdy wolf boy, was holding a longbow in the style of an elf, and aimed at the sky.
The white-tailed eagle noticed the werewolf boy's actions on the grassland, and immediately chirped provocatively at him, as if he was not afraid of the werewolf boy who tried to shoot it down, after all, it was far away from the werewolf boy, and at this distance, it had faced many arrows shot by hunters, but these arrows often fell with all their strength when it was still some distance away, and never posed the slightest threat to it.
Zheng!
The werewolf boy's right hand pulling the string suddenly loosened, and in the sound of the string, the arrow went straight to the white-tailed flower eagle like a bolt of lightning.
The white-tailed flower eagle felt a flash of black light in front of it, and before it could react, it felt a sharp pain coming from its chest, and then it lost consciousness and fell headlong from the air.
"Good!" Seeing the werewolf boy shoot down the white-tailed flower eagle in the sky with an arrow, the wolf cavalry next to him applauded.
The werewolf boy slowly put away his bow and arrows, turned his head and smiled at a wolf cavalryman next to him who was not much older than him, and said, "Brother Landuri, how about it, I shot this eagle!
"I can only barely pull out your strong bow, and the arrow that shoots out will naturally be inaccurate. Broken claws, you pull this bow as you like, and the archery is even more amazing, and I am ashamed of myself. I'm throwing in the towel!" the wolf horseman named Landuri shook his head and smiled bitterly as he untied a wine bag from his waist with pain on his face.
This werewolf boy who bends his bow and shoots the eagle is a sharp blade. However, the name he used at this time was 'Shatterclaw'.
After joining forces with the human female knight from Byzantium, he eliminated the undead in the Alterac Mountains, and after completing his own rite of passage, Blade officially joined the army and went to the northern steppes to join the Bloodfang Cavalry. Because he is the son of the wolf leader overseer, his identity is too special, in order to avoid people's eyes, he did not use the real name of the blade when he joined the army this time, but used the pseudonym of 'broken claw'. As for his true identity, only a few high-ranking people in the Bloodfang Cavalry Regiment knew about it.
The team of wolf cavalry that accompanied the blade were all very young, and among the thirteen people, except for the slightly older wolf cavalry named Landuri, who was a veteran of the Blood Fang Cavalry Regiment, the rest of the wolf cavalry, like the sharp blade, were all wolf cavalry recruits from the werewolf clans from all over the Beamon Empire who came to the northern grassland to join the Blood Fang Cavalry Regiment.
After these recruits arrived in the grasslands of northern Xinjiang, they stayed at the recruit transit station on the grasslands until the various wings of the Bloody Fang Cavalry Regiment sent people to lead them away. And the wing that the new recruits of the Blades went to was the third wing of the Blood Fang Cavalry Regiment stationed at Warsong Castle.
Blade brought the ancestral elven strongbow with him on this trip, and because the style of the elven bow was very different from that of the orc bow, it naturally attracted the attention of others. Several people, including Landuri, had tried the Blade's Elven Bow, only to find that except for Landuri, who could barely pull the bow, the others couldn't even pull the bow. So, on the heckle of the crowd, Landuri made a bet with Blade to see if Blade could actually use the bow.
As for the bet, it was the drinks that each of them carried.
This is the scene of the sharp blade bending the bow and shooting the eagle.
Sharp Blade took the wine bag handed by Landuri, pulled out the wine stopper, and after taking a full sip, he exhaled a long sigh of satisfaction, and then laughed at Landuary: "No way, Brother Landuri, I don't have much wine left, I can only think of ways to win your wine to drink!" After speaking, Blade slapped the wolf's head, and the wolf ran to the place where the white-tailed eagle fell, and after a while, he returned to the team with the body of the white-tailed eagle, and said with a smile: "When I have lunch, I will take this bird as a drink!"
As he spoke, Blade poured a few more sips of wine to quench the cravings in his stomach. He looked around the endless grassland, only to feel that his heart seemed to be a lot broader, and the pride in his chest suddenly grew, and he pulled the mane on the neck of a wolf, and the wolf ran wild on the grassland. Landuri was infected by him, and he also ran wildly.
In the wind, I don't know which Wolf took the lead, and suddenly sang a song "Song of the Wolf Cavalry" from the Wolf Cavalry of the Beamon Empire, and in the end, all Wolf sang this song! .
"The morning breeze swept the flags,
The cavalry polished the steel sword,
The whining of the wind,
It's the angry roar of a wolf,
Facing the rising sunrise,
We rushed to the enemy,
It's as swift as the wind,
Qi Xu Rulin,
Plundering like fire,
Immovable as a mountain,
Fenglin volcano,
is a portrayal of our battles,
We eat meat in large chunks,
We drink in big bowls,
We are brothers-in-arms,
Ah, mighty wolf cavalry, glorious wolf cavalry!"
The thick and long song came out of the mouths of the young wolf cavalry, and reverberated in the grasslands of the northern country, never dissipating for a long time.
This is exactly what it is like for a young man to leave the grassland and sing away!
In the distant grassland, under the illumination of the noon sun, there is a crystal dreamy light, where there seems to be a lake, and the dreamlike light is the sunlight reflected by the lake.
The sharp blade that was running wildly suddenly stopped the wolf, pointed ahead, and asked Landuri beside him, "Brother Landuri, is that lake in front of you the Star Lake?"
"Yes, there's Star Lake ahead. The Crescent Moon Forest is just north of Star Lake, and if we circumnavigate the Crescent Forest, it will take about six days to reach Warsong Castle. If you go directly through the Crescent Forest, you will be able to reach Warsong Castle in two days at most. It's just that although the area of the Crescent Moon Forest is not large, there are a lot of demonic beasts in it," Speaking of this, Landuri paused, looked around at the team of recruits he led, and slowly asked, "Do you want to go around the Crescent Forest, or go directly through the Crescent Forest?"
"Straight through the Crescent Forest, of course!"
"Yes, if you encounter a monster attack, you can just slaughter it and eat it! Hehe, I haven't tasted fresh monster meat for a long time!"
......
The young and vigorous Wolfes shouted one after another, unanimously demanding to pass through the Crescent Forest.
Landhuri smiled and agreed to the recruits' request, which was actually his idea. Because he knew that since these recruits in front of him could be selected into the Blood Fang Cavalry Regiment, their combat effectiveness would not be weak, and it would not be too difficult for a dozen or so people to cross the Crescent Moon Forest together.
At this moment, Blade suddenly remembered a rumor about Xingchen Lake mentioned in the book before he came to the Northern Xinjiang Grassland, when he was flipping through the books that recorded the customs and allusions about the Northern Xinjiang Grassland.
"Brother Landuri, I heard that there are water monsters in this Star Lake, is this true?" Blade asked curiously.
Several of the recruits had heard of the Star Lake Monster, and Blade's words piqued their interest, and everyone asked Landuri about it.
"I don't know. Although I came to the Northern Grassland a few months before you, I have never passed through this Star Lake. Speaking of this, Landuri scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, this time when I set out from Warsong Fort to pick you up, because I was the only one on the road, I didn't dare to go directly through the Crescent Forest, but the Crescent Forest, so I didn't pass the Star Lake when I came." ”
"Brother Landuri, why don't we rest by the Lake of Stars for half a day and see if we can see the rumored Lake Monster of the Lake?" Blade suggested again. Clearly, he was a curious wolf.
Blade's proposal was seconded by all the recruits. The leader of Landuri was originally curious about whether there was really a water monster in this Star Lake, but now he saw that the recruits wanted to find out about it, and he felt that even if there was a water monster, his party would be crowded, and he might not be afraid of the water monster, so he promised not to move forward today, but to rest on the shore of Star Lake, and set off through the Crescent Moon Forest early tomorrow morning!"
Xingchen Lake is named because it is said that it is a lake formed by the falling of stars in the sky on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang.
There are many rivers around Xingchen Lake, and there is a forest full of broad-leaved trees on the north side of the lake. The forest stretches for two or three hundred kilometers, the widest part in the middle is only more than 40 kilometers, and the narrowest part at both ends is only more than 10 kilometers, showing a long and narrow half-moon distribution. Therefore, the forest on the north side of Xingchen Lake is called the Crescent Forest. From time to time, there are monsters coming out of the crescent moon forest and coming to the lake to drink water and rest.
When the Blades and his group of more than a dozen rode to the shore of Xingchen Lake, a group of more than 20 Bladehoofed wild buffaloes were drinking water comfortably by the lake. The four hooves of the blade-hoofed wild buffalo have sawdust-like hard substances at the end, sharp as a knife blade, and it is a kind of powerful and domineering monster on the northern Xinjiang grassland, but the temperament is quite gentle, generally as long as they do not take the initiative to provoke them, whether it is a human or a monster, they can live in peace with them.
Of course, although the blade-hoofed buffalo is easy not to get angry, once they are provoked to anger, this anger is not something ordinary people can bear.
The Bladehoofed buffalo also noticed the Blades' arrival, but they only glanced up and then buried their heads and drank to themselves. After drinking the water, they spread out and nibbled on the grass by the lake, leisurely flicking their tails to drive away the gadflies on their bodies, occasionally mooing a few pleasant calls, with a leisurely expression, treating the uninvited guests of the blade as if they were nothing.
A recruit named Jonathan scolded with a smile: "It is said that the bladehoofed buffalo has big nerves, and it is true, seeing that we strangers actually have no vigilance, if we are a group of hunters who want to hunt them, this hunting package will definitely make them unable to escape!"
After Jonathan finished speaking, he involuntarily swallowed his saliva, turned his head and said to his companions, "How about we hunt this group of Bladehoofed buffalo?
