Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Wolf
Ye Youhuan chose the road that led to Erxian Mountain.
He had heard that Hengshan was the shortest of the mountains around Yehuling.
In addition to Hengshan, the surrounding mountains are all deep mountains and old forests, where there are many poisonous insects and beasts, and it is easy to get lost, and few people venture into it.
Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling are bold artists, knowing the danger of the deep mountains, but they just went straight to Erxian Mountain along the path.
A few cool people who followed behind identified the horseshoe prints on the ground and learned about the Erxian Mountain chosen by Ye Youhuan.
Several of them continued to track, leaving two people to wait in front of the stone monument, passing on the latest information of Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling to the large army behind.
The sound of horses' hooves "rumbled" to this side, and it seemed that the large army behind had received the news left before, changed direction, and believed that it would not be long before they could reach the stone monument.
The two soldiers who stayed next to the stele had heavy faces, and from the content of the stele, it could be seen that the road Ye Youhuan chose led to the mountain, and it was conceivable that if Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling went into the mountain, it would be very difficult to search them out, especially at night.
……
"Big cousin, can this fog be dispersed?"
Zhong Ling asked Ye Youhuan.
The location of the two of them should not be far from the mountain.
Although they couldn't see anything in the black fog, the clear beast cry judged that the two of them should have reached the bottom of the mountain.
Because it was dark night, and they began to go to the mountains and forests, even if there was no black fog, it would be difficult for the enemies behind them to find the traces of the two.
But in order to be safe, Ye Youhuan still took Zhong Ling to ride the Smoke Beast and ran forward for a distance, until he saw that the mountain road under his feet had become a mountain road, Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling got off the Smoke Beast and stroked the chin of the Smoke Beast, which was an action to make the Smoke Beast retract its magical powers.
Ye Youhuan stroked the chin of the black smoke beast, and the black smoke beast closed its eyes and looked very enjoyed.
Soon, the black smoke beast's horn slowly faded, and its strong body gradually shrank, and finally turned into a black donkey.
Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling led the donkey and walked up the mountain road.
As the Smoke Beast's divine power was withdrawn, the black fog that had shrouded a radius of several miles finally dissipated.
Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling felt the movement, turned around to look, and found that the cavalry team was only a few hundred meters away from them.
The pursuing cavalry had torches in their hands, and from a distance they looked like a fiery dragon.
"They came along." Zhong Ling said.
"It's okay." Ye Youhuan said: "With such a big mountain forest, they can't catch us." ”
After speaking, Ye Youhuan took Zhong Ling's hand and fled towards the mountain.
On the long slopes of the hills, it is impossible to see on both sides what kind of ancient trees grow 'teeth and claws', and the staggered branches look like the claws of demons.
Looking up, there is a crescent moon at the top of the slope, and the moonlight is faint, so that the hillside cannot be found, and the dense woods on both sides cannot be illuminated.
In the rear, the pursuing enemy was helped by torches, and the speed of the journey was no slower than that of Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling.
Zhong Ling turned his head frequently and said depressedly: "It seems that there are thousands of people, if there are fewer people, it would be good to kill them all." ”
"It's okay!" Ye Youhuan said: "When we go deep into the deep forest, these people will inevitably search separately, and when their forces are dispersed, the hunters and prey will be replaced. ”
"Okay." Zhong Ling listened to Ye Youhuan's words, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to show his strength when the time came.
Ye Youhuan said again: "The goal is obvious on the mountain road, let's go into the forest." ”
"Hmm!" Zhong Ling nodded and followed behind Ye Youhuan.
At first, the forest that the two of them went into was short, I don't know what kind of tree it was, the trees were dense, the forest was pitch black, and there were thick fallen leaves on the ground, and they could even reach their ankles when they stepped on the ground.
After walking a distance deeper, the surrounding trees are replaced by pine trees.
There are many fallen pine towers on the ground, but there are no thick leaves.
The distance between the pine trees was not as close as the previous trees, and the light became a little better, but this also made Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling feel more comfortable.
Behind him, the flames burned.
From a distance, it looks like a firefly in the forest.
"They're scattered." Zhong Ling looked at the firelight and said.
"It's not scattered enough, let's go inside."
Ye Youhuan felt that now was not a good time to fight back.
He took Zhong Ling to the depths of the mountains and forests, most of the way was uphill, and these two people had good physical strength, if they were ordinary people, they would have been too tired to walk.
The pursuers chased for a long time, but they were too tired to do it.
The officers felt that the fatigue of the soldiers had reached the limit, and they had no choice but to order the soldiers to sit down and rest for a while.
But they didn't dare to rest for too long, and after a little tidying up, they hit the road again.
Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling thought that in this big mountain, the enemy would soon not be able to find the target and search separately.
But the enemy seemed to know where he was fleeing, no matter how Ye Youhuan changed direction, the Liang army could always follow behind him.
In this way, Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling could only flee all the way.
Although the Smoke Beast looks like a donkey and usually moves very slowly, it can easily keep up with its master at such a critical juncture, so it has not fallen behind.
"Cousin, they didn't disperse." Zhong Ling also saw the problem.
"Cut-" Ye Youhuan said: "Let's continue to walk into the mountains, these people can still follow behind us forever." ”
Ye Youhuan's idea is very simple, that is, he wants to go to the mountains.
This matter itself is not complicated, Ye Youhuan with this man and beast is no better than an army of thousands of people in the mountains.
If nothing else, let's just say that these people have been chasing for a long time, and eating will be a problem.
This night attack was very sudden, and the soldiers did not have time to prepare dry rations.
If Ye Youhuan is hungry, you can find some wild fruits and hunt some game.
But when thousands of people are gathered together, food is not so easy to find.
All the way deep, walking for nearly an hour, they did not walk, but went deep into the forest, the surrounding environment was already completely deep mountains and old forests, Ye Youhuan could sense that there was a fierce beast waiting for the opportunity to move around him.
It seems that a beast has set its sights on the two of them, wanting to treat it as a delicious dinner.
"Look over there!" Zhong Ling reminded Ye Youhuan.
Turning his head, he saw a pair of green eyes in the darkness at some point.
"It's a wolf." Ye Youhuan wasn't too nervous.
Now his strength no longer takes these ordinary beasts into account.
Even if he was alone, with the help of bloodline power, he didn't pay attention to these wild wolves at all.
After the wild wolf appeared, in addition to the army, there was also a wolf pack hanging behind Ye Youhuan.
There seemed to be twenty or thirty wolves in the wolf pack, and they followed behind Ye Youhuan, cautiously observing their prey.
If it were an ordinary situation, these wolves would have swarmed up long ago.
But the aura inadvertently emanating from Zhong Ling's body made the wolves a little jealous.
