Chapter 90: The Gray Wolf's Turnaround
Running on a snowy night is really a test thing. Everyone has to control their physical strength, distinguish the direction, and pay attention to keeping warm and guarding against wild animals, etc., which is really tiring.
These people are basically born with physical strength and direction, but keeping warm is not enough. As the temperature drops at night and the physical strength is consumed, everyone is cold in the middle of the night.
In addition, guarding against wild beasts is also quite consuming.
Everyone gritted their teeth and walked for most of the night, and when they came to the vicinity of the river valley where the gray wolf tribe lived, even Xu Yu felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only stop and rest.
Originally, it was best to raid at night, but after such a long time of rushing, everyone's physical strength dropped greatly. Several injured patients came all the way, and there were some bleeding and dizziness. In the end, everyone decided to fight again at dawn.
Lin Ji insisted on all the way, and almost the whole person was paralyzed as soon as he stopped. The little wolf dog is no better, and he is almost tired. Only the little snow monster has no problem at all. Seeing Lin Ji sit down, it leaned over to Lin Ji and squatted down to keep warm.
Everyone is taking out clay pots, lighting fires, and boiling soup to keep warm. Lin Ji insisted on getting up, and commanded people to cut out snow blocks with machetes and build a one-man high snow wall to block the wind for everyone. Finally, everyone drank some hot soup and took turns resting and waiting for dawn.
In the valley, the barking of dogs begins in the middle of the night and continues until dawn.
The vigilance of the fangs and the worry of yesterday's battle kept the wolf mother awake almost all night.
When it was dawn, she burrowed out of the semi-crypt house, wrapped in dog skins, and began to wake up the tribesmen loudly.
"Burn the fire! All hands on arms! The man took the wolf out on patrol to see what was approaching. Mama Wolf's masculine voice began to echo through the valley.
Soon after, men and women came out of the huts, some lit large fires, and some went out with dogs. The children also came out of the hut somewhat naked, but they made a break by the fire and quickly went back again. There were not enough hides, and they could barely hide in the house for the whole winter.
The wolf mother in the valley began to chant in a vague and difficult way, making the whole valley cloudy. The women, with sticks, spears, or bows and arrows that the men did not use, watched the men patrol the distance.
Sometimes the fight is not necessarily against people, hairy monsters, giant bears, tusks, and even wild boar herds will make them fight hard.
Men go fast and come back faster. The man and the dog ran back in a panic, and under the valley they cried out in a mournful voice: "Tiger barbarian! Tiger Man! Tiger Man! It was the Tiger Barbarians who came, and they said that our people were going to kill them, and they had already killed them. Now, they're going to destroy us—"
The cry was so miserable that the whole valley was silenced, except for the whirring sound of the fire.
Looking behind the men on patrol, two strong men were stepping towards with giant spears, followed by a group of murderous people.
The two strong men in front of them were the mountain-like warriors that the wolf mother dreamed of, and they were also stepping on the river between the valleys, but they were not here to be loyal, but to ask for their lives.
The wolf's mind was in chaos, and the whole tribe was trembling.
War? Die.
No war? Buried by a glacier.
Is the Gray Wolf Department going to be wiped out today?
How could the people of the Jilin tribe who went out to fight yesterday and just rushed into become tiger barbarians? Mama Wolf couldn't figure it out.
Some women dropped their weapons and began to cry loudly. The wolf mother reprimanded loudly: "What are you crying about, we have Huo'er Mountain and Naiya in the tiger barbarian, they won't do anything to us." It must be a man who made a mistake, ask again! ”
No one went out, but those who wept did not dare to cry anymore. Everyone saw the hysteria of the wolf mother, and if they cried at this time, they didn't know if the tiger would kill or not, and the wolf mother would definitely kill them first.
An old man who had been to Human several times muttered: "I'm afraid that it is useless to Hu'er Mountain and Naiya." They are just raising wolves in the tigers, and they are the barbarian guards. ”
Barbarian guard, the warrior beside Tiger Aman, the strongest man in the entire Tiger Barbarian tribe. These people are almost the most powerful warriors in this land. How can two people who used to help raise dogs compare?
This was almost the last straw that crushed the gray wolf, and the people in the valley had already collapsed before they could attack.
The weapon fell to the ground, and the cries rang out, and many children ran out naked to find their mother, and even hugged them tightly and cried loudly.
It's over, it's over. The wolf mother's eyes looked into the distance of the river valley, the warrior who went out yesterday did not appear, and the wolf god who could cross the river in one step in the dream was also nowhere to be seen. Is the gray wolf just gone? The other party is clearly only a dozen people.
If only those men were still there or if the wolf god appeared...... The desire to survive made the wolf mother start to think wildly, and it seemed that something had heard her call, and there seemed to be something around the valley.
The little wolf dog and the little snow monster at the foot of the forest trail reacted first, and followed the forest trail to turn back and see something.
"Back, look back." Lin Ji reminded loudly.
The murderous team gradually stopped, and everyone turned their heads to look behind them.
Five saber-toothed tigers came out of one side of the hill and watched the ranks of the crowd with intent.
Everyone glanced at the little snow monster at the foot of the forest trail and said, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'm chasing this snow monster." ”
"How did they come back so quickly?"
"I'm afraid that another snow monster will escape, and they will come to kill the little one to vent their anger."
"What now? Kill this little one? ”
Xu Yu looked at the saber-toothed tiger in the distance and said, "It's useless to kill these little ones." We also stripped their companions and almost ate them. And they should not be afraid of people. ”
These saber-toothed tigers have some burnt marks, suggesting that they may have experienced hunting or human fighting. Either way, they will have a strong vindictive psychology towards people.
Before, everyone thought that there were only a dozen or so men left in the gray wolf, and their side was sharp, and it was nothing to destroy them, so their mentality was relatively relaxed. Several wounded and forest trails were in the ranks.
But as soon as the five saber-toothed tigers appeared, the team had no advantage. You must know that these five saber-toothed tigers are enough for everyone to work for a while, and if the gray wolf people seize the opportunity to come again, everyone will probably have to fall here.
Before Xu Yu said that he could fight with six saber-toothed tigers by himself, it was at most the kind of fight that Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and if he couldn't beat it, he would leave, not that he could subdue or kill all the immortals in the sky. That is, it can be as if he didn't say it.
Instead, the situation became unpleasant for everyone.
What's even worse is that the appearance of the saber-toothed tiger and the stop of everyone have given hope to the gray wolf's people. Under the desire to survive, the wolf mother really seized the opportunity and began an amazing operation.
"Wahahaha......" Wolf laughed with tears in her eyes, "cheer up." We don't deserve to die! ”
"The tiger man wants to kill us, our wolf god has abandoned us, and from today on, we no longer believe in the wolf god!" The wolf screamed, and struck the well-behaved and faithful dog on the ground with the cane in her hand.
