Chapter 4: The Chase
It's just such a subtle change, but it makes him as stunning as a hibiscus under the moon.
Seeing this scene, Ye Lingyi's heart was shocked, and then she reacted and quickly and unnaturally looked away.
It seems that he is only eighteen or nineteen years old at most, and he is still a child......
"I don't think this little girl can stay, the third brother is right, this little girl is powerless at a glance, how can the wolf king be killed by her? It is true that we were ordered by my father to find the winner of the original twenty people, but if there is a mistake, if there is someone else alive in the original twenty people except this girl, and that person also killed the wolf king, and we not only do not know the truth, but lead a fake killer back, how should we give an account to our father when the time comes? ”
The cold voice of the leader man drilled into his ears, which made Ye Lingyi slightly stunned, what is the situation?
If she didn't understand it wrongly, the man meant to kill her? Just because I'm not sure if she killed the so-called wolf king in their mouths?
On the other side, after listening to the words of the leader man, the nasty ghost who was called the third brother by the other two with a long whip immediately opened his mouth with confidence: "That is, what the eldest brother said is the right thing, how can anyone conclude that this animal is the final winner without finding out the truth?" Could it be that the second brother wants to cheat for personal gain, and in order to make meritorious contributions in front of his father, he wants to pull someone to seize the opportunity? ”
After the nasty ghost finished speaking, he let out a strange grin.
The masked young man in a wide dark blue robe was not in a hurry to speak, but just lingered his gaze between the two, his thin lips smiled slightly, and he coughed for a while with one hand loosely clenched into a fist against his thin lips, and finally raised his head and said unhurriedly: "If I remember correctly, the list of twenty people who were put on Cangzhi Mountain was registered by the eldest brother one by one, and as for those people, they froze to death and starved to death...... or kill each other, snatch food and die in the wolf's mouth with the wolf, and the final report is that the third brother is responsible for dealing with the aftermath, have these eldest brothers and third brothers forgotten? If there are really other people alive, can it be understood as ...... Is someone derelict in their duties? ”
The masked boy's gaze was fixed on the two of them with great precision, and a pair of dark eyes faintly revealed a bit of sharp coldness.
The man and the nasty ghost were dumbfounded on the spot.
After a while, the nasty ghost finally spoke in a weird voice: "Second brother, why do I look at you as if you are maintaining this little animal?" Could it be that the second brother has a personal relationship with this little beast that my eldest brother and I don't know? If that's the case, it's okay to leave her alive, after all, my father has always favored you, and my eldest brother and I can't beat it. ”
The words were full of sarcasm.
Ye Lingyi looked at the masked young man, only to see that the coldness in his sight gradually faded, and then smiled: "Third brother is too worried, I just talk about things, after all, we Helian clan killers only choose one person in three years, if something goes wrong, no one can afford my father." ”
A seemingly ordinary sentence, but the weight is significant.
The nasty ghost took away the taunt from his face and said no more.
A chill gathered in the eyes of the leading man, and his face full of evil aura became much deeper, and soon, he raised his chin slightly and shouted behind him: "Come on, bring the black leopard up." ”
As the man's voice fell, a sturdy black hound was led over in a short time.
Ye Lingyi glanced at it, and saw that the dog was snorting and panting with its bright red tongue at the moment, and a pair of round eyes were staring in Ye Lingyi's direction like a goshawk, as if as long as the person on horseback shouted, it would rush up and bite her neck at any time.
"Little girl, I'll give you a chance......"
A faint voice floated above his head, Ye Lingyi turned his gaze suddenly, and saw the man in the lead staring at him with cold eyes, and the nasty ghost holding a long whip behind him was full of a good look.
Looking at the hound that was on standby, Ye Lingyi had some bad premonitions in her heart, and after hesitating for a while, she finally pulled her dry throat and asked, "What chance?" ”
"A chance to prove yourself!" The man tightened the reins, his expression became confused, but his words were full of malice, "My hound is called Black Panther, just like you, when I locked it in a dark room with its brother and cut off water and food for two months, in the end it was the only one who survived, and it lived vigorously and vigorously without any dissipation, do you know why?" ”
The man paused deliberately, and a mischievous smile appeared in her eyes: "Because it bit all its brothers to death, and fed on their flesh and blood, it survived and was born so strong, oh yes, and your companions......"
When he said this, the man's eyes suddenly froze, and a smile appeared on his lips: "The wolf king is the last to be put on the mountain, usually those wild wolves are not useful, they always give up after chasing people halfway, the black leopard is much stronger than those wild things, and once it bit off your companion's head in one bite!" ”
With that, the man slowly narrowed his eyes and raised his hand.
Ye Lingyi's bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, staring at the black hound with fangs and tongue and drooling, he had to shake his head in horror and retreat step by step.
The man smiled weirdly, and his index finger curled slightly to slowly close to his mouth......
Without waiting for his whistle to sound, Ye Lingyi pulled out his legs and ran.
When the hound behind him saw Ye Lingyi fleeing, he immediately barked like crazy, digging the soil viciously, breaking free from the rope in the hand of the attendant, and rushing towards the direction of Ye Lingyi's escape like a storm.
As for those on horseback, they whistled and cheered, and gloated their horses to follow.
In the wild running, the cold wind cut every inch of Ye Lingyi's skin like a blade, she should have felt extremely cold at the moment, but her whole body felt as if she was on fire, although the sweat had completely soaked the thin layer of clothes on her body, but there was no longer the slightest chill.
In the current situation, Ye Lingyi has no time to think about other things, and there is only one thought left in his mind, that is, to get rid of that group of inexplicable people and the vicious dog with teeth and claws.
It's just that the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes, through the snow in front of her, she actually panicked and broke into a mountain col, and suddenly fell into the gray snow mist, and couldn't see the road under her feet at all, so she had to run wildly, praying in her heart that there would be no obstacle under her feet, because behind her...... The hound's wheering and panting was as close as it was to her ears.
She knows very well her current situation, if her steps are a little slow at this time, whether the consequences fall into the hands of that group of people or be bitten by vicious dogs, there will be only one death waiting for her!
But then again, running like this is not a way after all, after all, this body is too weak, and if her physical strength is exhausted, she will still not be able to avoid the vicious dog in the end.
Looks like we'll have to figure out a way.
Ye Lingyi ran desperately and finally distanced himself from the hound, and when he was thinking about how to get rid of the trouble behind him, he saw a little bit of color in the vast snow and fog in the corner of his eye.
Is that?
Ye Lingyi's heart jumped suddenly, and his footsteps involuntarily ran towards him.
And as she got closer, the color became clear in the snow and mist.
Eventually, the snow fog lifted and she saw an exposed rock mass.
It looks like the rock mass is two or three people high, it is a part of the mountain, for some reason the surface seems to have been cut by someone, the blue-gray stone surface is vertical and smooth like a stone wall, and it is particularly eye-catching in the white snow around it......
That's right, this stone wall!
Ye Lingyi's mind flashed with inspiration, and then he suddenly stopped his frantic steps.
This situation can only be tried!
The unruly girl's eyes unconsciously brought out a bit of ruthlessness, and quickly picked up the dead branches covered with snow from the snow, turned around sharply, and bluffed in the direction where the hound might appear.
The hound behind him chased after him like a wind, and when he saw Ye Lingyi holding a branch in his hand, he didn't dare to approach immediately, but just lowered his head and wandered left and right in front of Ye Lingyi to observe, a pair of sharp eyes stared at the almost completely rotten and withered branch in her hand, and that posture would jump up and bite her neck as soon as she was a little sluggish.
On the other side, there were faint sounds of horses' hooves smothering into the snow in the gray snow mist.
It was those people who came after them.
Ye Lingyi frowned, the ears of this body were too sensitive, sensitive like a beast, the voice seemed to be far away, but Ye Lingyi heard it very really, and it was still in his ears.
Time is running out, and she must deal with the vicious dog before the group arrives to make it out!
The movement of waving the dead branches in her hands did not relax in the slightest, but her thin body did not know whether it was because of the violent running just now, or because she was too scared in her heart, and she began to sweat coldly.
What's even more terrifying is that this vicious dog seems to be able to guess Ye Lingyi's thoughts, thinking that she has been forced into a desperate situation and has no way out, so she is more cautious than before, and at this time she has bared her teeth and began to slowly approach.
"Fuck off! Stay back! ”
Ye Lingyi roared with all his might, and the withered branches in his hands waved wildly, inadvertently slashing across the body of the hound.
The hound was startled, and the footsteps that were originally slowly approaching finally settled in the snow, and then lowered his head, staring at the branch in Ye Lingyi's hand with heavy gasping and grinning, although a pair of black eyes were full of fierceness, but because of this, he was a little more jealous and vigilant.
Ye Lingyi swallowed violently, and the fingers that grabbed the dead branches tightened and tightened, and the fingers were full of cold sweat, and he didn't dare to take his eyes off it at all: "You, your name is Black Leopard, right?" ”
Ye Lingyi's dark mouth trembled involuntarily, trying her best to control herself to make her tone sound calm, and her steps moved forward tentatively, and after seeing that the hound was indifferent, she let out a long sigh: "Let me tell you, in my society, dogs will not bite people casually except for rolling on the ground with cuteness and coquettishness, and there is no one like you who is so short-tempered, you are so ...... It's not right. ”
Ye Lingyi tried to distract the hound with words, but his steps tried to take a small step forward again.
The hounds didn't seem to notice her moves.
Ye Lingyi gradually began to become bolder.
In fact, her sudden overtures did not win her much indulgence.
The black hound first observed Ye Lingyi's every move, and after finding that her footsteps moved slightly, he completely lowered his head, his forelimbs fell to the ground, his hind legs tilted back slightly, and he grinned his teeth, as if he was ready to attack.
At this moment, if she takes a small step forward, it will immediately pounce......
