Chapter 30: The Mysterious Cave

In the dark night, the moon did not come out, only a few scattered stars, hanging in the night sky, flashing and muttering the whispers of dreams, and the flickering revealed a sad and frightening loneliness.

A wolf howl pierced the night sky, echoing in the basin where the Xingyue tribe was located, in a cave in this basin, a group of people held shields, a group of people pulled bows and arrows, people looked solemn, and the arrows meowed tightly to the whistling wolves.

"Archer prepare!" Duoye knew that he was inferior to Ye Feng in terms of command, so he handed over the command to him. Ye Feng stood on a high platform made of stones, and saw that the wolves were getting closer and closer, so he ordered: "Release!" ”

Dozens of arrows pierced the air, and there was a whining sound, and after a second or two, five or six wolves fell in response, and the other gray wolves did not look at their fallen companions, and rushed forward with undiminished might.

Seeing this scene, Ye Feng hurriedly ordered: "All archers, shoot freely at great speed!" Shieldholder, get ready to take on the impact! ”

Everyone has been trained by Ye Feng in their spare time, and the execution of these passwords is very thorough, the archers no longer have scruples, skillfully open the bow and shoot arrows, one by one the gray wolves fell under their arrows, and the shield hand, hearing Ye Feng's order, knelt on one knee in unison, with his side shoulder against the shield, ready to accept the impact of the gray wolf.

Dozens of gray wolves outside fell, and more than a dozen wolves rushed through the rain of arrows and came under the shield, they slammed into the shield, they were not big, but their strength was not small, and the shoulder of the shield hand behind was hit painfully, but no one dared to let go of the shield.

When the wolves saw that they could not break the shields, they gave up their impact and jumped towards the shields, which were high enough for them to jump over.

Since these gray wolves are under the shield, in the blind spot of the bow and arrow, the archers standing behind the shield cannot shoot at them, but can only shoot arrows at the gray wolf in the distance.

An archer pulled out the bow, the hand holding the bow stretched out the upper edge of the shield, aimed at a gray wolf in the distance, and was about to release the arrow, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left arm holding the bow and arrow, and then lightly, the bow and arrow slipped down, he looked down and found that his left forearm had disappeared without a trace, bubbling with blood, he screamed heartbreakingly, fell to the ground and wailed, and in the distance, a gray wolf ran towards the wolves with a human hand in his mouth.

"Brute!" Ye Feng raised his bow and arrows, killed the gray wolf with a human hand, and shouted: "Carry that injured person down too much, everyone pay attention, don't stick any part of your body, or even anything out of the shield!" ”

When everyone heard this, they took a step back and continued to fight.

Ye Feng's eyebrows tightened, and suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he patted his head, remembering that the gray wolf is a notoriously afraid of fire, and while annoying at his stupidity, he ordered: "Light a little more torches and throw them where the wolves are gathered!" ”

Suddenly, torches smashed towards the wolves like meteors. When the gray wolves see the fire, whether they are hit or not, as long as the torch is near them, they will hide far away and dare not approach.

Seeing that this trick was effective, the torches thrown out became denser, and soon, there was not much wood for making fires and cooking, so Ye Feng had to order to take out the winter reserve wood to make a living handle.

Late autumn vegetation is always dry, and the torches thrown quickly ignite the dry grass, shrubs, and even a few large trees, and suddenly the outside is lit up, illuminating the outside as bright as day.

In this case, the gray wolf had no choice but to retreat, staring at the entrance of the cave from a distance, with no intention of leaving.

Since the wolves have escaped the effective range of the bow and arrow, the archers have stopped shooting, the fire outside is burning, it seems that it will be difficult to attack for a while and a half, Ye Feng hurriedly said: "The archers leave two people on guard, once there is a situation, report immediately, the shield bearers change a group of people, and those who are replaced will rest immediately!" ”

The crowd drank their promises, and the archers and the shield-bearers leaned against the corners, closing their eyes and recuperating.

Duoye walked into Ye Feng and said, "It's not a way to go on like this!" If we don't drive these wolves away, tomorrow we will have to eat the food we have stockpiled for the winter! ”

"That's right, we have to discuss a countermeasure, and I can't think of it alone." Ye Feng said in a low voice.

"Old man, I have a way!" At this time, an old voice came, Ye Feng looked at it, this person was the old man that the Xingyue tribe met when they attacked the Sky Wolf tribe.

I only heard the old man say: "In this cave, there is actually another hole, it is connected to another exit, this hole was sealed by the old chief of the wolf tribe when I was a child, and the old chief also ordered to keep it a secret, not to tell this hole to future generations and outsiders, now I have a group of people have died, they have not told this secret to their descendants, only me, the old man, survived, and only I know this secret!" ”

The old man's words shocked the four people, especially the people of the original Heavenly Wolf Tribe, who had lived in this cave all their lives, and they didn't discover this secret.

Ye Feng was also shocked in his heart, and asked the old man three questions: "Why did the old chief seal it, what was in that hole, and why did you only tell it now?" ”

The old man replied, "When the old chief wanted to seal this cave, we didn't understand what he did, and when I asked why, he vaguely said that the secret of the gods must be kept, and that I used to play with that cave when I was a child, and other people often lived in it. ”

"Until one day, the stone wall on one side of the cave collapsed, and there was a hole in it, and we didn't dare to go in at that time, only the old chief went in. As soon as he came out, he ordered the hole to be sealed, and we had to do as long as he was a chieftain. ”

"As for why I'm telling it, it's because I think I've been alive for a long time, and now the tribe has been attacked by the gray wolf, and if you can find someone to escape by saying it, these are still secondary, and most importantly, I don't think it's that simple! Posterity must know. The old man said slowly, and then did not say a word.

Ye Feng was curious about this, and hurriedly asked the old man to lead the way, and in the innermost part of the cave, the old man pointed to the ground and said: "Dig up the soil here, there is a stone slab underneath, and inside is the hole that has been sealed."

With the joint efforts of several people, this hole was finally opened, and there was a slow passage inside, through which Ye Feng found that this place was very large, and the cave of the original Xingyue tribe was out of reach compared to it.

The people took the torches, and soon they came to the collapsed cave wall, where the stones were piled up like a hill, and if they were not careful, they would step on the air and fall and be injured.

Ye Feng and the others finally climbed over the rocks and entered the cave that the old man said.

Looking at the situation in the cave, Ye Feng felt that his brain had lost the ability to direct his own actions, and he stood there like a log, looking at the cave in front of him with two eyes in a daze.
