Chapter 2: The Siege
Eleven people in the village participated in the hunting test this time, with Ye Tan as the captain.
Compared with previous years, the number of people in this hunt is not too many, strictly speaking, there is one person less.
The previous hunt had a minimum of 12 people, so this was the smallest ever in the village.
But despite this, the village decided to let them participate. It's not that the children's parents are ruthless, but that they are in a small village in the middle of the wilderness, and they must learn to be self-reliant and learn to survive in a harsh environment from an early age.
So the village decided hundreds of years ago that the village should be full of twelve-year-olds and have to go out together and cooperate to hunt an adult beast.
And this time, Ye Tan's chosen target was "Wind Wolf." ”
Of course, adults don't put their own lives at risk.
So every time the hunting test is carried out, the children will be followed by the experienced hunters of the village, but the children don't know it.
"Boss, there are still a few miles to go before the Steep Wind Cliff, shall we continue to move forward?"
The fat man, who was very "strong" among the eleven people, panted and asked Ye Qin.
The fat man said everyone's questions, and everyone looked at the front at the same time, wary of the black-clothed young man around him.
At the age of twelve, he has a height of about 1.7 meters, his short hair is simple and neat; his childish face has a sense of maturity and sophistication that only adults have; a pair of smart eyes look ahead, and everything around him is reflected above his black and shiny pupils; under the dark skin, there is a "strength" that should not be there at this age, and the strong muscles are accompanied by green tendons like little fingers, which are slightly raised because of the long time of hurrying, densely covering the whole body, giving people a feeling of full strength.
Therefore, the teenager hurried up and seemed very relaxed!
But for others, it's not that easy!
Ye Tan turned around and looked at the friends behind him.
Except for himself, Dai Shao and Skinny Monkey, who went out hunting with his father all the year round, the other six teenagers and the only two girls in the team all looked like they were out of breath. And the fat man has a tendency to fall down soon.
After all, not everyone is willing to follow their parents out to hunt and endure hardships when they are young.
"Yes, Yezi, it's coming soon, let's rest and decide what to do next. Ye Ling, who wiped the beads of sweat with her palm-clad sleeves, said.
Seeing that everyone wanted to rest, Ye Tan, as the captain, was also helpless. But he still said firmly: "No, this is still in the heart of the Misty Forest, and there are too many unknown dangers. It's so unsafe to rest here and let your guard down."
So, let's cheer up and keep going!
"Okay....... ”
Everyone looked disappointed when they saw that their request for rest was denied.
Everyone looked like frosted eggplants and continued to move forward.
"Fatty, cheer up, look at your appearance, it's not as good as Zhao Qing'er!" Ye Qin pointed at Zhao Qing and said to the fat man.
"Boss, you can't say that! I have a lot more flesh than you, you know......?
"Fatty, what did you say? Those things you prepared, we didn't have them on our bodies, you carried more than us, who told you to eat more, you deserve it!" Zhao Qing gasped and scolded the fat man.
"Fatty, you don't listen to you to lose weight usually, now you know the burden of your body, right? It seems that you will have to eat for many days when you go back this time to make up for the fat you lost this time!" Ye Qin continued.
"Hahahaha......"
“.........”
The fat man was speechless for a while.
The team was suddenly enlivened by this little episode, which revitalized the team that had been lifeless from exertion.
In this way, even the mental power of the team members who are vigilant around them is more concentrated.
Except, of course, the fat man!
A few hours later, the sun set, and the orange sun shone down through the green clouds, dyeing half of the sky orange red.
The sunlight that shines through also turns the earth below into an orange-red world.
Eleven people walked on this orange-red land, as if people had also turned orange. Some are tall and some are short, some are fat and some are thin, and they are orange-red.
"There's a steep wind cliff ahead, so let's find a place to rest for the night. It's getting dark, and everyone is tired, so we have to start tomorrow morning!"
"Good ......."
The world is flooded with this "good"!
"Captain, there is a stone platform in front of you, and there are no trees around it. The fog is also sparse somewhere, and I think we can camp somewhere. ”
In the team, three thin monkeys who could still speak with their waists straight now said to Ye Tan.
Ye Qin had also seen that place a long time ago, but he saw that that place was too conspicuous in this misty forest and was prone to problems, so he didn't say anything.
"Yezi, let's go there, you see that we have been walking in this misty forest for such a long time, and the surroundings are wet, and the clothes on our whole body have long been wet, which is particularly uncomfortable. If there is no fog on either side of that stone platform, it will always be better. Besides, without the fog, our eyes can see farther, and we can know the situation around us in advance, wouldn't it be safer!" said the two girls.
But with years of wilderness experience, Ye Qin still felt that it was not too safe to camp there.
But looking at the fat man's tired appearance, as the captain, I also hope to be able to let them rest in a better place. Therefore, he also agreed to the proposal of the thin monkey and Ye Ling and Zhao Qing.
After the big deal arrives, it would be nice for the three of us to pay more attention to the three of us.
decided to go to Shitai, and Ye Qin immediately called his partners to continue walking towards Shitai.
Not for a while.
"Ah...... It's comfortable!"
Sitting on the dry stone platform, and then following the weight of the luggage behind him, the fat man who lay down moaned.
"Oh, I'm so tired! this place is much more comfortable than the stinking wet forest everywhere!" the two women complained.
"Don't say it, hurry up and get some firewood to come and make a fire, otherwise it will be dark in a while." Ye Qin commanded.
"Got it!" of course everyone knew that if it was dark and there was no fire, it would be very dangerous in the forest.
Everyone didn't say anything, endured their exhaustion, and went their separate ways, starting to work step by step.
As the captain, Ye Tan was not idle, and planned to rush with Dai Shao to find out the news and observe the movements of the wind wolf.
After all, this is the main part of their hunt, and they can't afford to make mistakes. The more you know about the situation, the more confident you will be that they will complete the task.
"Skinny monkey, I'll go out with Dai Shao to take a look around, and you stay to help prepare the things you want for the night. Ye Tan commanded.
"Okay. ”
Yan Sanhuo, who is also about 1.7 meters tall, but has a very thin figure, replied.
It is precisely because of emaciation that he is called a skinny monkey by everyone.
But don't look at his appearance, he is the one in the team who has the most experience and physical strength in the wilderness besides Ye Tan. This is also the reason why Ye Tan asked him to stay and help, after all, everyone is tired now, and an experienced person must be left to protect everyone.
"Okay, that's it, Dai Shao, let's go. ”
Seeing that Ye Qin had finished giving his order, a beautiful young man sitting at the back of the line stood up.
This is Dai Shao, the "beautiful man" Dai Yuanshu in this group of children, known as Dai Shao. Like Ye Qin and Skinny Monkey, about one meter seven.
The difference is that he is indeed more handsome than the two. But his handsomeness did not affect his strong physique at all.
The two of them already had sufficient physical strength, and they didn't have a fat man to follow behind, so they were much faster than before.
"Dai Shao, stop, the territory of the Wind Wolf is ahead. “
I heard my father say, "The Tempest Wolf will set up a guard at the edge of the territory, and if anything foreign is there, it will be spotted immediately." Moreover, the wind wolves are cold-blooded and crazy by nature, and have a strong sense of territory, and once they find out, they will be besieged by them. ”
So you can't go any further, just observe it here!
"Well, good", replied Dai Shao, who had stopped.
"What's the matter with these wind wolves? Why are there so many on the periphery? It can't be all sentry posts, right?" Dai Shao asked, looking at the dozen or so wind wolves in front of him.
"I don't know what's going on! Wind Wolves are wolves, but unlike most wolves, they are inactive at night and stay in their territory. But now it's getting dark, and these wolves are looking like they're coming out, which is a bit strange!"
The two of them bowed down and whispered to each other.
At the edge of the territory, more than a dozen wind wolves bared their teeth and erected hair, looking ahead in a stern formation.
In front of Ye Qin's invisible wolves, a Xuan-level lightning rabbit also stared at the red eyes angrily, staring vigilantly at the wolves in front of them.
Although these wind wolves are all yellow-level beasts, they can't even be called demonic beasts, but they are huge in number. And although the lightning rabbit is a Xuan-level Warcraft, it is also a very low-level existence among Warcraft.
It's just that their talent speed is very amazing, and it is not an exaggeration to have the speed of lightning, so they are ranked at the Xuan level.
Both sides are in a stalemate, and it looks like the enemy is not moving and I am not moving.
Due to the topography, although Ye Tan and Dai Shao were secretly observing not far away, they could only see a dozen wind wolves standing like wood, and they couldn't see the lightning rabbit in front of them.
So both of them were confused and didn't know what was going on.
Suddenly, the wolves moved, and ran like a gale
。
At the same time, Ye Qin and Dai Shao also moved.
"What's the matter? Why are these wind wolves coming towards us? so far away, they shouldn't be discovered!"
Dai Shao, who was running wildly, asked Ye Tan.
At this time, Ye Qin was also full of questions, and he also didn't know what was going on.
But one thing you know is that you must run away now, or it will be over.
The two teams are chasing after me, although Ye Tan and they are running hard, the distance between them is still very significantly shortened.
"It's over, we'll die before we get out of the school!Before we start hunting the wind wolf, the two of us are about to be surrounded by prey!" Dai Shao shouted loudly from behind.
Ye Qin didn't say much, just turned his head and encouraged Dai Shao: "Don't give up, we still have a chance."
"It's going to get dark, and the nighttime Storm Wolf's eyesight will be greatly reduced, and then we will be able to get out. ”
But before Ye Tan could turn around, a snow-white thing hit his face, and Ye Tan was instantly knocked to the ground.
Dai Shao, who didn't see the situation clearly, saw Ye Tan fall down for some reason, and hurriedly sped up and came to Ye Tan's side to check Ye Tan's situation.
In the time of going back and forth, more than a dozen wind wolves chased after them, surrounding the two of them and the snow-white thing.
Dai Shao picked up Ye Tan and looked at the wind wolves around him.
"Oh no, I can't run away. ”
