Chapter 1 (02)

Shang Cheng hurried a few steps in the direction of the sound, turned around an ochre-brown mountain stone standing on the side of the path, and saw a thrilling scene not far ahead.

It was a gentle slope at the foot of the mountain, covered with ankle-deep grass and wild flowers that could not be named, and a small tree the thickness of an arm stood in the middle of the slope with scattered green leaves; There is a cliff two meters wide and four or five meters high near the mountain, as if a black scar has been drawn in the green of the mountain. A man stood in the depression between the cliffs, desperately wielding the machete in his hand, dealing with the two beasts on the left and right back and forth, and kept shouting:

"Autumn age! Autumn ......"

Those two beasts were two wolves. The small wolf, slightly larger than the adult wolfdog, with a grey coat and a slumped belly almost pressing against the tip of the grass, stood on one side of the cliff, roaring low from time to time, and occasionally jumping up the cliff with two jumps, and as soon as the machete in the man's hand swung over, it jumped down the broken rock. After a slight delay like this, the wolf on the other side of the cliff who had just been driven down immediately seized the opportunity to re-climb the broken rock, pounced and grabbed the ground and wrestled with people. This wolf is much larger, almost able to catch up with a calf, the fur on its body is yellow and green, deep and shallow, and in some places the thick hair has faded and the new hair has not grown neatly. Although it is also afraid of sharp machetes, it will seize the opportunity to bite when dodging, so that the person with the knife will be scrambling; Even if it is forced off the cliff by a machete, it will not hurry to find a suitable position and come up again. At this time, its companion will jump on the broken rock again to make a feint to create an opportunity for it.

The people in the middle of the cliff also saw Shang Cheng, and hurriedly waved two knives to drive the smaller wolf off Shiyan, and immediately shouted again in surprise:

“…… Autumn age! …… Shang, Autumn Age! ”

In such a trance, the big wolf jumped onto the stone cliff again, not only dodging the oncoming machete, but also turning his head and almost biting the man's arm. But the bite of the sleeve that tore down half of his shirt forced the man to take a step back and cling to the stone wall; It also gained a foothold on the broken rock for the first time.

Hearing the man call his surname, Shang Cheng couldn't help but pause. He really didn't expect that there were still people in this lofty mountain to know him! In an instant, a thought flashed through his mind: Could it be that a member of the search and rescue team was in distress? But seeing that the man had gradually become exhausted under the back and forth infestation of the two wolves, he didn't care to think about it further, and rushed over with the wooden stick in his hand.

The wolf with its bulging belly turned its head and stopped between Shang Cheng and the stone cliff, leaning over his knees, his lips and teeth bared, his eerie yellow eyes shining with a fierce light, and a low menacing roar rolling through his throat.

Shang Cheng rushed straight towards the wolf. His eyes were fixed on the wolf's eyes, his hands were tightly clutched on the stick, and his steps did not even have the slightest hesitation, he grew up in the countryside, and he had experience in dealing with wild dogs since he was a child......

He rushed closer and closer, and when he could almost smell the thick and choking stench emanating from the wolf's body, the wolf's eyes no longer met him, and the front half of his body was getting lower and lower, and its paws were still pulling at the mud and retreating back two times and one by one, and then it suddenly jumped up, opened its mouth wide, revealing its yellow-brown fangs, and bit at Shang Cheng's neck!

Shang Cheng whipped a stick on the tip of the wolf's nose! At the same time, he turned around and tried to dodge the wolf claws, flashing them one by one, the first failed to avoid the second, the hard wolf claws scratched his right upper arm, and several streams of blood immediately emerged from three or four wounds of different lengths.

But the wolf couldn't bite him. Not only did she not bite, but the she-wolf with her cubs was knocked into the barley with a stick and screamed in pain, and kept sweeping her nose back and forth with her two front paws.

Shang Cheng didn't want to pay attention to the she-wolf, and the human-wolf fight on the cliff one by one had reached the moment when he was exhausted, and the members of the rescue team could only be tired of defending, holding knives in both hands and desperately trying not to let the male wolf approach......

But the she-wolf was obviously not willing to let Shang Cheng go over to help, so she immediately took a detour to intercept him in front of the cliff, and once again made a fierce threat. This is a smart guy, and after learning the lesson of defeat, it didn't blatantly pounce on Shang Cheng's throat again, but jumped into his thigh! It could even swoop that leg backwards after Shang Cheng squeezed it on the grass with both paws, taking advantage of the momentum to change direction and pounce on the other leg......

"Get out!"

Shang Cheng shouted loudly and kicked on the she-wolf's soft belly!

The she-wolf was kicked and rolled on the grass several times in succession, and hit her head on the rock wall in front of the cliff. It howled miserably, its front and back paws fluttering, and it tried to get back on its feet, but each time it could barely hold up half of its body, and then it fell weakly......

The fight on the broken rock was also coming to an end, and the male wolf successfully tore off a large piece of the belt flesh on one of the rescue team members' wrists, and incidentally made the opponent abandon the machete in his hand; And it had forced its exhausted opponent into the deepest part of the cliff, and there was no room to dodge, all it needed now was one more simple pounce and a hearty meal...... But at this moment, the she-wolf howled sadly......

The male wolf apparently hesitated. It stared at its prey, which had given up resistance altogether, then turned around and growled lowly; The she-wolf's howl was shorter and louder, and seemed to contain the meaning of urging and warning; The male wolf turned his head and stared at his prey twice before reluctantly turning around and jumping down the cliff.

The male wolf only swirled around the she-wolf who was still crouching in the grass, and then pounced on Shang Cheng with lightning and two front paws running towards Shang Cheng's shoulder, biting him by the throat with one bite!

The stick didn't get to its nose!

The moment before the stick was about to hit, the male wolf turned his head, and the stick only touched one side of his cheek; Its fangs and claws didn't do much damage to Shang Cheng, leaving only a few small blood marks on its other arm.

The first round could only be considered a tie, with the male wolf having a slight advantage.

The man and the wolf briefly confronted each other six or seven paces apart, and then collided again.

Jumping, pounced, dodged, moved......

The second round was over in an instant. One of the shoulder straps of the basketball vest on the human body was torn off, the small half of the vest was loosely pulled down, the blood was dripping on the forearm of the right hand, and the wooden stick was thrown to the ground; The male wolf didn't see any damage, took a few steps back, his nose and mouth sprayed a fishy smell, and he kept throwing his head while wheezing.

Shang Cheng stood there with his fists clenched, staring at the male wolf with his eyes, not daring to blink. He knew that the few injuries on his arm were not serious, the key was that his left hand was probably reversed, and now it was so sore, that it could barely exert its strength. Only now did he believe that the wolf was a "copper-headed, iron-tailed, numb-waisted rod", and the two punches on the wolf's head just now seemed to have no effect, but he was almost breaking his fingers. Alas, if I had been able to use my right hand at that time, it would have been better than it is now......

Before he could tell whether the fist had worked on the wolf or not, the male wolf had already jumped over, and this time it didn't choose Shang Cheng's upper body as a target, but rushed straight to his legs and feet; When Shang Cheng curled up one leg, its two front paws kicked on the ground and ran to the other leg, which was its real goal!

With a click, its upper and lower teeth slammed together and it didn't bite anything! Before biting the person, it was also kicked by Shang Cheng like a she-wolf.

But the male wolf rolled on the ground and pounced again, and at the moment when he was about to approach Shang Cheng, Huo Ran stood up, and his two front paws immediately rested on Shang Cheng's shoulders......

Caught off guard, Shang Cheng only had time to stretch out his hands and clamp the male wolf's neck! In the next moment, he was knocked down in the grass by the male wolf with his momentum and weight!

He clamped the male wolf's neck tightly, not daring to slack off a little! The wolf's head was right in front of him, and he could clearly see the gray scars on the wolf's face; The ferocious nature and the spark of death were intertwined, shining in those yellow eyes; The stench of spewing from the wolf's mouth hit his face and almost suffocated him......

The male wolf fluttered, his front and rear paws working together, desperately poking his sharp teeth into his face! He could even see the charred ochre tartar on the roots of the wolf's teeth! His whole body was full of burning pain, and his arms and shoulders were hot and cold, heavy as if they had been filled with lead, and so sore, as if they would break at any moment. He felt that death had never seen him so closely, and the shadow of death had never been so clear, and the moment the wolf's fangs gently touched his cheek, a relief came from the bottom of his heart. He gave up resistance. He can't help but admit that he is still a timid person in his bones, and in the face of an irreversible fate, he did not choose to resist as he hoped, but chose to comply.

At the end of his life, he still smiled to himself in his heart and said one by one, it's all over, coward. Then he closed his eyes and waited quietly for death to come......

The four sharp canine teeth in the wolf's mouth hit his cheek almost at the same time, but the pain was not obvious, and it seemed that after he gave up his life, any pain was bearable. But the stench from the wolf's mouth made him almost want to vomit, and he couldn't help but push it......

With just a slight push, the wolf that pounced on him slanted softly to the side!

What's going on?!

His mind went blank, and he couldn't figure out what was going on. However, he was still sane, and almost at the moment when the male wolf fell, he hurriedly rolled to the side with his hands on his feet, grabbed a fist-sized rock in his hand, and stood up. Courage and boldness seemed to return to his body at once. He looked at the male wolf who was almost submerged in the grass with a hideous face, hey! It's hard to tell who will fall first!

After waiting for a long time, the male wolf still didn't move.

He hesitated for a moment, but walked over and gently nudged the male wolf on his tiptoes. The wolf corpses are already half-hard. He turned his head again to look at the she-wolf with her eye socket under the rocky cliff. The she-wolf's head hung limply in the grass, and there was no fierce and cruel look in her eyes, which was obviously dying. Glancing at the ambulance team member who was rescued from the wolf's mouth again, the guy stood on the edge of the broken rock like a clay sculpture in a temple, his eyes staring at him, his mouth open stupidly but not speaking......

See the fuck! I actually overturned two wild wolves with my bare hands! It's scary to think about!

It was only then that he suddenly felt that all the energy in his body had disappeared without a trace, his two arms were painful, and his legs were so weak that he no longer had the strength to support his body...... He sat in the grass.

The mountain breeze blows along the valley, the grass swaying in the wind, and the brilliant wildflowers loom in the green waves; The smell of grass and the lush fragrance of flowers linger around you, and you can breathe straight into your internal organs...... Recalling the hardships of trekking over the mountains in the past two days, and then looking at the spring scenery in front of me, I was in a trance like a dream; All kinds of hardships and thousands of sufferings experienced in the past two days were also eliminated in a long sigh.

"Business. Business ......"

Only then did he remember that there was a member of the rescue team next to him. Business? Where is this custom, why only call the surname instead of the name? He turned his face with a smile, ready to talk to the man one by one, although he saved him in the end, how can he say that others are also in danger to save him......

His smile instantly froze on his face......
