Chapter 20: The Lone Wolf King of the Desert

Fan Lao got up crookedly, swallowed his saliva, and unconsciously got closer to Shi Hu.

"It's a desert wolf! It looks like we're not far from the edge of the desert! ”

"Wolves? Wolves in the desert? ”

"Of course there are wolves, but since there are wolves here, it proves that we are about to get out of the desert, and even wolves can't survive in the depths of the desert."

Tiemo rushed up with Zhou Dingshan, looked at the situation in front of him, and said worriedly: "Old Fan, do you want to drive this lone wolf away?" ”

Fan Lao waved his hand in a hurry.

"No, don't, let's keep going. Wolves are packs, they are the smartest creatures in the desert, and as long as we stay in good shape, the wolves will not dare to attack us easily. ”

"The more panicked we are, the more vulnerable we are, wolves, we can smell fear."

Tie Mo nodded, signaling the soldiers under his command to be fully alert, and for a while, the camel team became closer.

The caravan crossed the dunes and continued on its way, while the lone wolf followed not far away.

After some time, the camels began to panic, and the camel bells rang in a chaotic manner, which made people uneasy.

Before the camels could be appeased, dozens of pairs of dark green eyes were seen on the sand dunes in the distance.

The wolves finally appeared.

The soldiers hurriedly pacified the camels, and then divided some men to draw their swords, ready to meet the wolves that could come at any moment.

"Woo...... Whew......"

The wolves roared, and spread far away in this empty desert.

Although the wolves appeared, for some reason, they kept a distance from the lone wolf before. The lone wolf didn't move, and neither did the wolves.

The camel team and the wolves confronted each other like this, and no one dared to act rashly.

The lone wolf slowly walked along the dunes towards the caravan, and Tiemo drew his waist knife and strode up to meet it.

Man and wolf, king against king.

Tiemo is also a temperamental person, a lone wolf dares to come alone, and I can't lose the momentum of human beings.

The lone wolf stopped ten feet ahead, and in the night, it was impossible to see its body clearly, only those two eyes sparkled and breathtaking.

Tiemo held the knife, not afraid at all.

After some time, the lone wolf suddenly turned around and let out a series of piercing howls.

"Woohoo..... Whew....."

With a roar, the lone wolf turned and walked towards the dunes, and the wolves gradually disappeared.

The wolves disappeared, but the lone wolf did not go, still maintaining its inherent distance.

Tiemo was a little confused, what does this lone wolf mean? Is it contempt or something else?

Does it find suspicious of a lone wolf fighting a pack?

"Old Fan, what's going on? Did this wolf king take the wrong medicine? ”

Fan Lao's cheeks twitched, and he hugged his arms with some fear, "I haven't encountered this kind of thing either, don't worry about this for now, since the wolves have temporarily retreated, let's continue to hurry." ”

"Yes!"

Tiemo thought about it carefully, the wolves have all retreated, are you still afraid of you being a lone wolf king?

The frightened caravan, under the command of Fan Lao, continued to hurry. But for the rest of the way, Fan Lao Crooked said that he didn't dare to walk in the front.

Strange to say, the lone wolf was still not far away, but when the dawn sun appeared, it disappeared again.

A broken wall appeared on the sand dunes in the distance, and Fan Lao ran forward in surprise as if he had seen a golden mountain, and fell several times in a row because he ran too quickly.

"It's here, haha, it's time to Mochizukipo."

"Mochizuki Slope?"

Tiemo and the others didn't know why, but the gopher who had been pretending to be dumb all the way finally opened his mouth.

"Legend has it that when the ancestor Yongle Emperor went on an expedition to Mongolia, he got lost on the night march. Just when he was on the verge of despair, he saw a broken city wall, stood on top of the broken wall, watched the moon rise, marched for more than ten miles, and found a source of sand and sea water. With the water, the army survived, and the next day the sky brightened, and the compass returned to normal, and on closer inspection, the water source and the place where the moon rose were due east. Since then, the Yongle Emperor named the place Mochizukipo, where the lost can find their way and those who are dehydrated can get water. ”

Tie Mo pursed his chapped lips and poked the drill gopher in disbelief, "Is what you said true?" ”

"It's not true, everything is hearsay, but it should be true that there is a water source, or can the surname Fan be happy to be like this bear?"

Sure enough, at this time, Fan Lao was leaning against the remnant wall and drinking water, and he was not afraid of wasting it at all.

Seeing this, Tiemo and the others couldn't bear it, they each took out a water bag and drank a lot, and of course they didn't forget to let the camel have a good meal.

On the east side of the remnant wall, a natural water source was found, and somehow, in the cold season, the water source did not freeze.

After replenishing the water source and resting for about an hour, Fan Laowei began to urge the camel team to hurry up.

"Let's not rest today, when we get to Mochizuki Slope, walk north for five hours, and you can get out of this damn desert. Let's hurry up and carry it, as long as we can hold on, we can get out of the desert before dark and spend the night on the grassland. ”

The camel team continued to hurry, and without the threat of the lone wolf king, Fan Lao's mood seemed to be much better, and he began to be the vanguard of the team again.

Tie Mo frowned, he glanced at Zhou Dingshan, his eyes were full of vigilance, but he didn't say anything.

Hurrying at night, threatened by wolves, camels can still hold on, but people can't hold on. A few military households fell asleep while walking, and even Han Niu'er couldn't help but complain.

"Lao Fan, if you don't rest, the brothers really can't hold on, if you continue like this, before you get out of the desert, the brothers will lie down first."

"No, victory is just around the corner, hurry up and keep up!"

Fan Lao stared at each other, and there was no room for negotiation at all.

Tiemo walked in front of Fan Lao, pulled him away, and said with a smile: "Old Fan, you can do it, anyway, you are about to leave the desert, and you are not in a hurry at this moment, do you say?" ”

"Tie Ye, I'm about to leave the desert, and I'll be patient."

"Lao Fan, you said that if I don't want to endure it, I want to rest."

Fan Lao's crooked face suddenly became extremely ugly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he smiled sadly: "Tie Ye, we said it before, but if you do it now, it will be difficult for Fan." ”

"Old Fan, what are you doing so angry? Is it okay to give iron a certain face? Tiemo beckoned, and Zhou Dingshan ran over with his burden.

Without the need for Tiemo to speak, Zhou Dingshan took out two ingots of silver from his baggage and handed them to Fan Lao.

"Old Fan, take it, let the brothers rest!"

Looking at the silver in front of him, coupled with Tie Mo's cold eyes, Fan Lao Crooked sighed helplessly.

"Yes, just do what Tie Ye said, but don't take it as an example."

"Don't worry, there will never be a next time. Lao Fan, you have to understand, these brothers of mine are on the road for the first time, and they can't compare with you! ”

Tiemo said a few good words, and Fan Lao Crooked was a little happy.

Since it was a rest, Fan Lao was not polite, and found a place to hide under the belly of the camel and sleep.

Tiemo glanced at Fan Lao Crooked from a distance, and his brows slowly twisted, "Dingshan, quietly inform the brothers, from now on, cheer up your spirits, without my order, no one should move, even if you, you have to pull me in the crotch." ”

"Hmmm! It's just, Brother Tie, is something really going to happen? ”

"I don't know, anyway, be prepared, we're all raw melons and eggs on the road, it's always right to be more careful!"

Tiemo didn't know whether he was right or wrong, and always felt that there was something wrong with Fan Lao.
