The eastern horizon has been covered with a touch of fish belly white, black as ink in the night sky, after the stars gradually faded, revealing a deep and pure royal blue, looking distant and mysterious.

Tang Hezhi sat down by the fire, took the last saddle apart, added a few pieces of wood to the fire, and the faint and dim flame was refueled, and after a while, it became bright again.

Looking around, although the wolves still did not retreat, it was almost dawn, and years of experience in grassland survival told him that as soon as the sun came out, most of these animals would retreat.

Wolves are reluctant to be active during the day, and the heat and harsh sunlight will cause them to lose their physical strength quickly, and hunting at this time is often futile, preferring to hunt at night, especially in summer.

In the end, this saddle was enough to last until the sky was bright, and Tang Hezhi was full of confidence in this.

Lin Qiao hugged the sunspot, lying on the ground and sleeping soundly, his small body curled up in a ball.

Several Mongolian men also lay around the fire horizontally, they all reached the point of running out of oil and lamps, they were all supported by one breath, since Tang Hezhi came up with the trick of using the saddle to continue to make the fire, under the hope of survival, they could no longer support it, and they all fell asleep one after another.

On the outermost periphery, Tang Hezhi used the fallen war horses to surround them, which was regarded as a barrier.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, Tang and Zhi didn't think it was strange at the beginning, they were hunted down and killed before, the food was taken away, most of the manpower was lost, and the rest of the people were almost all injured, and they lost a lot of blood, so it was not strange that there was a smell of blood.

But he soon realized that something was wrong, the smell of blood was much stronger than at night, and there was a faint "click" sound in the distance.

Tang Hezhi looked around, only to find that there were several dead horses that he used as barriers, their thighs, necks and other places were already blurred with flesh and blood, and next to them, there were several gray wolves, tearing the pieces of meat on the ground, blood and saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths, and the sound of "click" was coming from their mouths, and it seemed that they were feasting.

Tang Hezhi was terrified, when did the wolves take away the dead horse meat, but they didn't notice it, if they suddenly attacked..., I shuddered when I thought about it.

Thinking of this, Tang Hezhi gave himself a mouthful, he had been on duty last night, and he didn't know when he fell asleep, which made the wolves take advantage of the loophole.

Fortunately, there is still a fire, and if the fire hadn't been extinguished, they would have been left without a human being.

They were the wolves they had met yesterday evening, and the first night had been so hard that even the saddle had burned to the ground, and if they had been targeted by these wolves and chased after them, they would have been spared tonight.

"Brother Tang, what's wrong?" Lin Qiao was awakened by Tang Hezhi's own slap on his own, and got up from the ground and asked.

"There are mosquitoes, Qiao'er." Tang Hezhi naturally wouldn't tell the truth, and instead comforted, "Awake? Rest assured, the sky will soon dawn, and the wolves will definitely retreat by then. ”

"Brother Tang!" Lin Qiao pointed to the messy horse corpse on the ground and screamed.

"Don't be afraid, Qiao'er!" Tang Hezhi comforted, "It's a dead horse, the wolf has eaten horse meat, and we will be safe when we are full." ”

After saying this, Tang Hezhi felt a trace of luck in his heart, maybe these wolves would not pester them anymore after eating horse meat.

"I don't think so," said Morrigan, who also woke up, reclining on the ground, "and these wolves may become more ferocious. ”

Mo Rigen was right, the hungry wolf who had not eaten horse meat, under the double stimulation of hunger and the smell of blood, the wolf's eyes were full of fierce light, and he slowly pressed up, and he was anxious, opened his mouth and began to grab horse meat, and those who couldn't grab horse meat looked at Tang Hezhi and others, eager to try, the only scruple was the fire that was still burning.

Tang Hezhi secretly screamed badly, simply threw all the wood in his hand into the fire, and after taking a deep breath, he blew the bonfire vigorously, and under the firelight, it also had some effect, and the wolves took a few steps back, but they still stared at them fiercely.

At this time, the sun finally showed half of its head, and the golden sunlight sprinkled down from the distant horizon, gilding everything with a golden edge, and the wolves were startled by the sudden appearance of light, and they took a few steps back.

Tang Hezhi took a long breath, "Brother Mo Rigen, the sun is out, these animals should retreat." ”

Mo Rigen sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a piece of grass root in his mouth, noncommittal, his eyes staring into the distance.

Other Mongolian men shouted, "Wolf King! ”

Tang Hezhi didn't know why, and looked at everyone's gaze, a big wolf with a snow-white body and a body that was obviously taller was sitting there majestically, looking at them with a condescending attitude.

"It's... Is this the Wolf King? Tang Hezhi's voice trembled slightly, although he had been on the grassland for a long time and had seen wolves, but it was the first time he had encountered such a large wolf pack, not to mention the legendary wolf king.

"Phew!" Mo Rigen spat out the chewed grass roots in his mouth, "That's right, you see, there are guards around it." ”

Sure enough, there were several black wolves scattered around the white wolf, looking like they were defending their own king, if there were wolves who didn't know what to do and wanted to break in, the black wolves first roared in a low voice, as if a warning, if they broke in again, there would be one or two black wolves, knocking them out.

Although the black wolf is one size smaller than the white wolf, it is still much stronger than other wolves.

After staring at Tang Hezhi and them for a long time, the wolf king raised his head and raised his neck and let out a long, "whine" cry.

This cry was long, and it took a long time to stop, and among the wolves, those who did not grab the horse meat did not rob it, and those who grabbed it swallowed the meat in a few bites, and did not dare to delay, and retreated one after another.

When the wolves retreated, everyone gasped, and in just a few moments, most of the horse corpses had been gnawed, revealing the white bones of the forest, and the bright red blood stains on the bones were visible.

"It's time to go, right?" Tang Hezhi said in a low voice, and he didn't know who he was asking.

"Not necessarily," Mo Rigen stood up at this moment, holding a scimitar in his hand, "In the past, as soon as the sun came out, the wolves almost retreated, but today is a bit evil, I don't think they are going to retreat, but more like they are going to launch a general attack." ”

As Mo Rigen said, the wolves did not retreat, they stopped after retreating a few steps, and turned around, and the wolf's head was facing Tang and Zhi, but the encirclement was a little bigger.

"And that howl...?" Tang Hezhi was puzzled.

"I guess it's to keep its wolves from killing each other." Morrigan reasoned.

When everyone thought about it, it seemed that it was really like that, in order to compete for horse meat, the wolves had already fought with each other, and if it weren't for the wolf king's cry, maybe they really began to kill each other.

At this time, the sun has completely risen, but the wolves have no intention of retreating, the wolf king led his neck, and there was a long howl, this sound, longer than just now, the wolves in the wolf king's cry on the ground with their front feet, their bodies bowed back, their neck hair stood upside down, and they put on a picture of an imminent attack, and the flames that rushed to the sky just now have gradually faded.

"Get ready for battle." "As soon as the fire is extinguished, I guess they're about to launch a final attack." ”
