From the moment they entered the grassland, the soldiers began to shrink their range of activities and increase their vigilance carefully, and no one knew what would appear.

Hughes was unaware of the dangers in the Sunset Grassland, so he could only stay with the convoy honestly, and gave up looking for something useful to him alone.

However, this Sunset Grassland is indeed dangerous, and along the way, Xius has seen the bones of many people, scattered around.

The convoy entered the grassland and began to move forward, the speed began to slow down, and the road began to be difficult to walk.

"Bang bang bang" heard the familiar sound of knocking on the carriage, and Xius knew it was time to eat again.

Stepping out of the carriage, the evening glow turned the sky red.

Xius's convoy stayed next to the few uncles, although it was a tree, but it was almost withered and shriveled, there were a few birds on the tree, and Xius didn't know it, and the crows looked quite like the whole body was jet-black, but there was a white line in the middle of these jet-black bodies, and the cry was different from the crows.

When the soldiers were eating, they hurried to clear the surrounding area before it was too dark to prevent poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, and saw the soldiers holding white powder and scattering it around the camp, emitting a pungent smell.

On the grassland, even bonfires are not dared to be lit at night, for fear of attracting some nocturnal foraging beasts.

As the sky grew darker, and the sunless earth was dark, the soldiers went in twos and threes and crowded the wagons loaded with supplies, leaving only two or three men to patrol around, wearing heavy leather armor to ward off the cold winds of the night.

Hughes couldn't sleep, so he got into the carriage and lay down and looked up at the starry sky, a river of stars running through the sky, which was very beautiful.

"It's beautiful!" Theseus muttered as he squinted at the sky.

"Dead man, dead man, two of them dead."

In the morning, Theseus was woken up by a cacophony of noises. Rubbing his eyes, he sat and reacted for a while before he could hear what was being said outside.

"Dead!" said Hughus, who came out of the carriage and saw a crowd of people surrounding one car.

"What's going on, how could anyone be dead" The soldier heard Hughes's voice and took the initiative to get out of the way.

"Master Xius," Belita hurriedly greeted when she saw Xius.

"What the hell is going on, Belita," Theseus looked at the two soldiers lying in the carriage.

"Young Master Xius, the two of them didn't respond when they were called in the morning, only to find out that they were dead"

"How did you die, does my father know about it?" said Theseus, who walked in to see the two bodies.

"Young Master Xius, Lord Earl has already come, let's find a place to bury it."

"As for the two of them, they were bitten by poisonous snakes and died of poisoning," said Belita, who led Hughes to the corpse and pointed to the two bloody holes in his ankles where the blood had dried up and blackened.

"This is the location of the bite, it should have been bitten while sleeping, did the soldiers on the night watch hear the movement, alas!"

Hughes looked up the blood hole, and the faces of the two soldiers were purple, and there was no sign of pain and struggle on their faces.

"Scan these two bodies"

"The scan found that the blood contains a large amount of neurotoxin, and after analysis, this toxin will completely destroy the human nerve when it enters the human body for one minute, resulting in death (note: the host body cannot resist this poison, it is recommended to stay away)"

When Xiusi saw the scan results, not only did he break out in a cold sweat, but if he was bitten in his sleep, even if he had a chip, there would be nothing he could do.

"Chip! stay vigilant, and tell me if you find anything dangerous to me" Thinking of this, Theseus hurriedly gave an order to Chip.

"Drop, task establishment completed, continuous scanning"

It was obvious that the convoy could not take the two corpses on the road, and after some inspection, they dug two shallow pits, both of which were poisonous inside, and they did not fear being eaten by some wild animal, so they put the corpses in.

The convoy soon set off again, and you can be cautious along the way, beasts can still fight, but poison, nine lives can't be helped.

"Stop!" suddenly shouted the soldier at the front.

When the convoy behind heard it, it immediately stopped, and a gust of wind blew, and the group immediately smelled a foul smell.

"Lord Earl, Master Hughes, there seems to be something ahead, let's go and take a look" Belita walked forward with a few soldiers.

After a while, a few people came back with ugly faces.

"Lord Earl, a large number of animal carcasses have been found in front"

Count Clay and Hughes stood beside the carcasses of the animals, and the stench of hunger came from them. More than a dozen antelopes lay on the ground with their stomachs disemboweled, and only the white skeletons were left on the corpses, and the blood stained the earth red, which was disgusting.

Count Clay personally squatted down and examined it, and found that the blood inside had not fully coagulated.

"Look at these corpses, the time of death has not been long, and you see, although there are many wounds on these corpses, they are not deep, all the fatal wounds are in the neck, and they are fatal with one blow, until they die, it seems that there is a group of beasts here, and it is not far from us"

Count Clay stood up and said with a solemn face.

"We're going to hurry up, we're going to get out of this sunset meadow in four days, it's more dangerous to stay for a long time, well, get around these corpses, hurry up," Count Clay ordered.

The convoy walked alone on the grassland, and there was a strange atmosphere between the convoys, and the atmosphere became gloomy.

It was only the second day after entering the grassland, and two people had already died, and a large group of animal corpses had been found, which showed that there was a large group of wild beasts in the vicinity. No one knows what will come in the next few days, and no one wants to die.

Sitting in the carriage, Hughes was also in a bad mood, and when he saw these scenes today, his heart was even more thirsty for strength.

At night, the convoy camped as usual to rest, and the whole camp was quiet, no one spoke, and there was a dead silence.

Xiusi secretly went to a place not far from the camp by himself and began to practice the basic knight's breathing method and basic swordsmanship. Xiusi took off his shirt and began to cultivate, while keeping an eye on the camp from afar, and if there was any situation, he could go back as soon as possible.

"Woooo

Xiusi, who was cultivating, suddenly faintly heard a cry, although it was a little unclear, but Xiusi could be sure that it was the cry of a beast, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

"Chips! What is this thing?"

"Drop! analysis results, the probability of wolves is 97%"

"Wolves!" Hughes knew that wolves were social animals, and as long as they appeared, they would definitely not be small.

"No! I'm going to tell my father," said Theseus, picking up his clothes and sword, and hurried to the camp.

The soldiers on the night vigil suddenly heard movement in the grass, and hurriedly grabbed their weapons and prepared to see what it was.

"It feels like it's calling everyone up," Theseus said, running toward his father's carriage.

The soldiers on the night vigil were relieved when they saw that it was Master Xius, and when they heard Xius's words again, although they didn't understand it, they could only do it.

Count Clay was in the carriage, still reading with a candle lit, and when he heard the movement outside, he immediately came out to take a look.

"Father," Count Clay turned to see his son calling himself, and his face was anxious.

"Why do you let these soldiers wake up all the people if you don't sleep so late?" Count Clay looked at Hughes.

"Father, I was just cultivating around the camp and heard the sound of wolves howling, so I hurried over and told you"

"What!!!" Hearing Hughes's words, Count Clay was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that he had just found traces of wild beasts during the day, and then encountered wolves at night.

Hughes and Count Clay walked to the middle of the convoy and saw that everyone had been assembled. I had expected something to happen, otherwise I wouldn't have woken them up in the middle of the night.

When they heard the news that there were wolves, everyone took up their arms one after another, and no one dared to sleep, but they all cheered up and prepared to meet the enemy.

"It is impossible to travel at night, we can only wait until dawn or until the wolves take the initiative to attack, otherwise the environment will not be good for us, everyone be ready," commanded Count Clay.

"Whew~~~Wow"

Wolf howls came one after another around the camp, dozens of pairs of dark green eyes were particularly bright in the middle of the night, and the wolves were in a stalemate with Xius and his party at a distance from the camp.

"It seems that there is no way to leave, we have been targeted by wolves, Belita, you first find someone to light a bonfire around, and then send a few more people with bows and arrows to wait, and the wolves will shoot directly if they dare to approach"

"Yes, Lord Earl," Belita hurriedly found someone to start lighting the bonfire.

Hughes also took a bow, he had chip support and a duel advantage, and there was no difference between night and day for him.

"Hughes!" Hughes was trying the strength of his bow when he heard his father call him.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Count Clay walked up to Theseus and whispered in his ear.

"In case there is really any accident in a while, you don't have to worry about us, go first, follow this road, and you can get to Soto City"

"Father will be fine" Theseus was a little moved in his heart, he was an orphan in his previous life, and here Count Clay gave him a feeling that he had never felt before.

"Well, hopefully, I don't know how many of these wolves there are, and we must fight quickly, or we may attract other beasts of the night," Count Clay frowned.
