As soon as Hotaru finished saying this, she immediately spoke out against it, but it was not Chen Yao, but Jun Wuye - "No, there should be wolves around here after dark, and we can't take this risk." ”

"Wolves?" Chaolu was stunned, and suddenly remembered the experience of encountering wolves with Xiao Liu on the mountain a long time ago, she still clearly remembered the strength of the wolves described by Xiao Liu, and thought to herself how could a person like Jun Wuye be afraid of wolves, so she blurted out coldly when she thought about it in her mind.

“……”

The scene was silent for a while, and finally Jun Wuye sighed helplessly and explained: "Hey, this grassland wolf pack is much more ferocious than the wolves in the Central Plains!" ”

Immediately after what Jun Wuye said, Chen Yao also added expressionlessly, "So, with your negligible combat power, it's better to hide as far as you want." ”

"Stinky boy, don't you sarcastically mean that I'll die?!" I was really angry with this guy, and I glared at Lu angrily.

But calm down and think about it, if the red-eyed golden crow really only haunts at night, it would be a pity to go home now! Besides, the wolves can't always wander around in the same area to feed, right? Chaolu stood in place in a dilemma, with the opposition of Chen Yao and Jun Wuye on one side, and on the other side she wanted to gamble on it.

"No matter, just wait a little longer!"

She made up her mind to turn back to the two of them and said, "If we don't see the broken bird by the time we get there, we'll go back." ”

No matter how Jun Wuye persuades him, Chaolu doesn't plan to change his mind, if he doesn't enter the tiger's den, he won't get the tiger? If you are even afraid of this danger, it will not be until the Year of the Monkey that you can catch the red-eyed golden crow......

In this way, several people searched the vicinity for a long time.

As the minutes passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the wind around them became stronger, and the grass rustled through the knee-length grass.

Seeing that the red glow of the sunset on the horizon was replaced by night, Chaolu stopped dejectedly, "Hey, today is a trip for nothing, let's go back first!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Chen Yao's vigilant voice sound from behind her - "Be careful! There's movement ahead......"

"Know, so, so."

There was a small crumbling sound in the grass not far away, as if something was approaching this way.

"I said there would be wolves...... Jun Wuye shrugged helplessly, looking ahead.

Chao Lu was startled, and hurriedly looked up, and through the deep grass, he could see a pair of wolf eyes that emitted a dim green light, like a ghost walking through the night, which was terrifying.

Sadly, I ran into this blackened husky again!

"What now?" I swallowed nervously, this is a plain area that is not good for light skills, so if you want to compete with these four-legged guys, running is simply the rhythm of death! Hotaru, who was completely frightened, shrunk in Chaolu's arms trembling and couldn't say a word.

Without answering Chaolu's question, Chen Yao walked over a few steps with a cold face, raised his hand and stretched out his hand to Jun Wuye, "The thing you gave me before to suppress the internal force, take out the antidote." ”

"This can't be done," Jun Wuye shook his head with a smile, "With the way you are now, once you use internal force, you will definitely die." ”

Chen Yao looked around a little irritably, and his gaze fell back on Jun Wuye again, "Then what should I do?" Can you handle such a large number of wolves alone? ”

"You're ignoring my combat power again!" Hearing Chen Yao's words, Chaolu was immediately upset, what do you mean by "Jun Wuye alone"?

However, Chen Yao just turned his face coldly and glanced at Chaolu, and said in a very soft voice with a heavy sense of oppression: "Just stay behind and watch the woman." ”

Your Sister's ......

Chaolu, who was underestimated, instantly developed from a little unhappy to extremely unhappy, but before she could say anything, Jun Wuye and Chen Yao had already stood one after the other to protect Chaolu and Xiaohotaru in the middle.

"Woo-" Several dark shadows swooped down with a low roar.

Looking at it through the moonlight, I wiped it, the wolf on the grassland is too fierce, right? Not only is his physique strong, but the cold light reflected by the wolf teeth in his bloody mouth is simply terrifying......

Seeing that the two wolves were about to pounce, Chen Yao's figure flashed in front of him, raised his leg and swept his leg to kick one of the wolves in the chest and abdomen with unmistakable accuracy, knocking it out, and then quickly withdrew to avoid the minions of the other wolf.

"Stand back!" Taking advantage of the time to take a breath, Chen Yao glared back viciously, and directly scared Hotaru into tears.

Being noisy by this cry, Chaolu quickly came to her senses and patted Xiaoying's shoulder soothingly, "Don't be afraid, you just stay here, it's going to be fine!" After saying that, she resolutely broke away from Hotaru's hands and joined the battle.

"What are you going to do?" Chen Yao, who had repelled another wolf, frowned and turned around, and the corner of his flowing black clothes was blown up and down by the night wind.

Still minding about the things that were despised just now, Zhao Luli ignored Chen Yao's question, just pulled out the sword and unsheathed it with a "cang" sound, and then took two steps and stabbed at the gray wolf that came by, although it didn't hit directly, but the sharp sword qi still scratched the wolf's fur, "Don't you always think I'm weak?" After driving the gray wolf away, Chaolu retreated back to the same place, glaring at Chen Yao angrily, "Besides, who said that women are going to hide behind?" Women can also fight bravely, right-"

"......" was a little speechless by Chaolu's robbery, Chen Yao simply didn't care about her anymore, anyway, with himself and Jun Wuye by his side, nothing could happen.

In this way, Chaolu stepped forward and formed a formation with the other two to meet the wolves that were surging from all directions - and, compared to Chen Yao and Jun Wuye, she had the advantage of carrying a sword, which made up for her lack of force, and it was more than enough to deal with one or two wolves.

But at this moment, Chaolu, who was concentrating on the gray wolf in front of her, did not notice that a black shadow as fast as lightning was attacking her from behind, and only when she heard the low roar that was almost close at hand, did she realize that there was danger-"Ah! As Hotaru's cry of pain sounded, the gray wolf's paws that intended to sneak attack landed on Hotaru's shoulder, which used his body to block a blow to Chaolu, and threw her to the ground!

I didn't expect that the little girl who was so scared just now that she couldn't stand on her feet would have such courage to rush over to protect herself, and she roared in her head, and hurriedly retreated to beat away the gray wolf that was pressing on Xiao Hotaru.

"Hotaru-chan!"

The pale moonlight reflected Hotaru's scarred and weak body, and she looked at her heart tightly, and she hurriedly took out the wound medicine she carried from her pocket while muttering to herself, "Why are you so stupid? I have a sword in my hand, even if the gray wolf gets close, it will be slightly injured at most, you ......" Seeing that this girl, who had only known each other for two days, was desperate to protect herself, she felt very guilty.

After a fierce battle, Jun Wuye and Chen Yao were unscathed, but the group of gray wolves suffered heavy losses, and after delaying for a while, they still couldn't break through the defense line, and the wolves finally retreated and left.

After the surroundings were completely calm, several people rushed back to the Xifeng tribe with Xiao Hotaru, who was quite seriously injured.

Chaolu, who was very upset, stayed in the hospital to take care of Hotaru, and when she thought that this weak little girl rushed out without hesitation to block the attack of the evil wolf for herself at that critical moment, she blamed herself more and more.

It's been three watches, but Hotaru, who is lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed, has no sign of waking up.

Chaolu was so sleepy that she lay on the edge of the bed and fell asleep unconsciously......

……

Following.

Hotaru, who had been in a coma all night, finally woke up, and Asaka, who had been worried for a long time, finally put her mind at ease.

Ever since she had been injured by Hotaru, Chaolu has always felt guilty, so when the girl woke up, she spontaneously ran up and down to bring tea and water, and Hotaru was even more dependent on Chaolu, and she was so scared that she couldn't see anyone for a while - she got along for a few days to recuperate, and the two quickly became good sisters who didn't talk about anything.

It's just that Xiao Hotaru, who was already weak, recovered more slowly than ordinary people, so the matter of finding the red-eyed golden crow could only be delayed for a few days......

"Sister, it's a little boring to stay in the room these days, can you go out for a walk with me?" Hotaru sat at the head of the bed, her long black hair hanging straight down her shoulders, lined with a white and clear complexion like ice and snow, very cute.

Chao Lu turned around and just wanted to say yes, but suddenly remembered that Jun Wuye and Chen Yao had gone out to find out the news of the Red-Eyed Golden Crow, so let themselves stay here and don't run around, what if they came back and couldn't see that they were in a hurry......

Seeing the embarrassed look on Chaolu's face, the empathetic Hotaru pursed her lips and smiled lightly, and comforted: "It's okay, let's just talk to the shopkeeper before we go out." ”

"Well, that makes sense, let's go!" Thinking that there were no worries, Chaolu turned her worries into joy and walked over to help Hotaru up from the bed.

After leaving the tribe, the two walked and stopped to a vast grassland, where the weather was fine and the breeze was blowing, and many cows, sheep and horses could be seen grazing leisurely.

It's been a long time since I've been in such a relaxed mood to go out for a walk, and it's very pleasant to take a big breath of fresh air.

However, what is completely different from her is that Hotaru has always been sullen along the way, as if she has something heavy on her mind......

"Hotaru-chan, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that the other party looked uneasy, Chaolu stopped with some confusion.

After being asked by Chaolu, Hotaru's eyes instantly turned red, "Sister, I ......" hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to raise her head, "I want to see my father again......"

I thought it was something terrible, but I didn't expect it to be just such a small wish, but it made her cry and laugh a little, so she squeezed the girl's hand soothingly, smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go now!" ”
