Chapter 16: The Legend of the Sand Wolf by the Crescent Spring

Said to be sent, it is impossible to send it directly to Dunhuang, the official sent out of Loulan City and returned, and the guide only sent to the pavilion at the edge of the desert to the east is the vast desert (today's Kumtag Desert) This desert takes five days, and you can also walk along the edge of the desert and the edge of the Gobi Desert, this distance is at least ten days away, and it is also on the edge of the Xiongnu Youxian King Land.

I asked the guide, is there a caravan with me, and the answer I got is no, there are few people walking here, generally through Loulan directly into the territory of King Youxian, along the northern edge of the Gobi Desert eastward, although the road is far away, not to be trapped in the desert. When you arrive in Dunhuang, there will be a caravan to travel along the Qilian Mountain through the land of the King of Youxian, cross the Yanzhi Mountain and enter the Guzang City of the King of Hutu, go east to the Yellow River, enter the territory of the King of Aries, and cross the river at Wanhudui (now Shapotou, Zhongwei City), and the rest of the journey guide has not walked, and I don't know. Gave the guide a small cut nugget of gold and said goodbye to him.

Since they had chosen the road through the desert, it was necessary to prepare for it, and they found sackcloth, cut it with a knife, made a hood for the horses, filled it with a cowhide bag by the river, and cut three sheaves of grass by the river, and a bundle for each horse, and that was their diet for these five days, and the camels were pulled to the river so that he drank enough water and ate enough grass. The horses were tied to the camels, and Buick and Guli had to follow them on foot. Only crossbows and daggers were hung on the weapons, and the rest were horses. I made two more hoods for the white wolf, just show two eyes, the difficulty of crossing the desert is much more dangerous than crossing the mountains and rivers.

Everything was ready to stop, starting from Tingyi, resolutely walked into the desert, when a person, two wolves, three horses and two camels disappeared into the sand beam in the distance, a few people hid in the woods not far from Tingyi. "Such a desert has to be forcibly passed, its ambition can not be underestimated, not afraid of difficulties, the preparation of fine, the courage to explore, its courage and wisdom to surpass ordinary people, I said that this person can be seen in this life, it is enough, quickly go to notify the big single Yu, can not tamper this person, if he is allowed to kill any king of the Huns, there is a meritorious service, it must be a great disaster for the alien races around the Han land", two groups of people in succession, hoping to stop the impulse of the monarch and minister Shan Yu.

The most feared thing in the desert is the sun and the wind, the first day everything went well, the two wolves were very excited at the beginning, chasing and frolicking before and after never stopped, walking for a long time is very tiring things, soft sand is the biggest enemy of physical strength. I can only stop and go, and the speed will not be very fast, and I have walked 60 miles in most of the day. In the evening, they set up camp in a sand den, where the beasts were no threat except for sand snakes and rattlesnakes, and fetched water to feed the brothers and sisters, but did not drink much for themselves. Find out the air-dried meat, and the man and the wolf eat some, and take a handful of grass for the horse to eat. I started to set up a tent. The tent is semi-buried, and the burial is completed. He dug two deep pits next to him, took off his camouflage jacket and put it in the hole, found another sheepskin, shaved off the hair, and put it in the hole, and then put the camel on two windward sides before he fell asleep, and the night was very peaceful. The night in the desert was cold, and the white wolf, which was so cold that it lost its hair, moved its nest to the edge of the camel's belly. When the sun rose warmly, the brother and sister were already squatting side by side on the sand beam, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the desert sunrise. The golden morning sun dyes the undulating yellow sand against the sun, and the unilluminated places are still that dim yellow. The white wolf's fur is dyed light red by the morning sun, and sitting there is a perfect statue. Quickly took two pictures with the camera, a wolf howl, called them back, when is it so poetic, you two are brothers and sisters, don't be incestuous all the time, it seems that in order to cultivate purebred animals, this is what later generations have done. If not, I'll give you two a sterilization operation. The two guys stumbled down the hill, only halfway there, stunned, staring straight ahead. Ouyang Xuan fixed his eyes on it, still afraid of anything, a rattlesnake with thick wrists came out of nowhere, and was raising its head in front of the brother and sister, wagging its tail and spitting out letters. This is not something that Buick and Guli can subdue, so they hurriedly went back to the tent and took out the crossbow arrows, put on the strings, and ran to the stunned brothers and sisters, fortunately, the two of them did not move, just stood still and stared at the snake's head, ran to the wolf's head from the side, raised the crossbow and shot, the crossbow arrow pierced the snake's head with the sound of the wind, and took more than 50 steps backwards before it passed out of the snake's head and rolled down to the sand. At this time, the snake's head was still very dangerous, so he quickly drew out the short knife with both hands, took a few steps forward to reach the attack distance, and the right-hand knife flew out, just hitting the snake's head, and took the snake's head backwards, passing through the snake's head. As long as you can't open your mouth, it's easy to do, a rush, to the front, the knife in his left hand quickly swung out to cut off the snake's head, the snake's body is still writhing on the sand, ringing its tail. Pick up the crossbow arrow, pick up the head of the snake, pull out the knife, throw it far away, and the snake body will stay here to feed the gerbils.

Took Buick and Guli down the sand beam, went to the pit to get a camouflage jacket, on which at least half a liter of water was collected, and the same was true for the sheepskin, put this water in a clay bowl for the horses to drink, eat some beef jerky to pack up and continue on the road. The vitality of the two wolves was still excessive, running around, and once when they came back, they actually grabbed the sackcloth mask and threw it to Ouyang Xuan. After more than ten minutes, Gu Li came back with a huge rat killer in her mouth, and this thing can't be eaten indiscriminately. Shake your head and throw away the gerbils, this thing can't be eaten unless it is absolutely necessary, and getting parasitic diseases is no joke.

It was almost noon, Ouyang Xuan smelled a strong smell of dust, there was no wind at all, but the smell of dust was very strong. Judging from years of outdoor experience, this is a precursor to a sandstorm, lying on the sand and listening, there is a roaring sound, and I can't judge the direction. Pulling the camel, calling the brother and sister, they found a sand nest on the sand beam, let the camel lie on the windward side, block the wind, the two camels head and tail are connected, the horse lies on the inside, find a few large cowhides, tie one end to the camel frame, cover the items on the camel frame and the horse, and tie the other end to the saddle, so that the two wolves can find a gap to get into. Hurriedly dug up the sand with an ordnance shovel and buried the camel and the camel frame on the windward side of the camel, creating an inclined plane. Only then did he return to the cowhide and buckle the wolf's head with a tiger's skin nest. I found a sheepskin and put it on to protect my head and face. After waiting for half an hour in this hot and dry weather, I saw the wind blowing the sand, judged the direction, a little off, quickly drove up the camel, lay on the side in the windward direction, and repeated the steps just now against the wind, and before the sand was dug up, the black sandstorm in the distance had already rushed to itself. I can only let the camel suffer a little sin. Hurry back to the cowhide, the sheepskin protects the head and face, and after a while, as the wind increases, the sky suddenly darkens, like night, the falling sand rustles on the cowhide, and the fine sand in the air makes it difficult to breathe. Quickly cover your mouth and nose with a fleece**. Camels don't have hearts, their nostrils and eyes have special protection, and wolves and horses have masks. The sandstorm lasted all afternoon, and when the wind had stopped, the sun was already in the west, and the windward side of the camels formed a sandy slope, and the sand on the cowhide was 20 centimeters thick. The sandstorm is gradually departing not far away, and I don't know if anyone will suffer.

Hurry up the camels and horses, this place is not suitable for camping, Buick and Guli actually fell asleep, it was really heartless. After cleaning the sand and dust on his body and camels and horses, he walked for more than 20 miles, found a nest surrounded by sand mountains on all sides, and then set up camp. It was still a fixed step, digging a pit and setting up a tent, digging a pit to catch the dew, eating some beef jerky, and feeding the horses and wolves. Took out the compass and set the direction, this is the desert, there is no way to locate the specific location according to the terrain, and the direction can only be corrected according to the general direction and the direction of the Sanwei Mountain in the distance.

The next few days were quite dull, and the bland Ouyang Xuan felt that this desert was still the place where people were left in the wilderness. It's okay to train Buick and Guli, it may be the reason for the big hot spring soak, these two guys are definitely not ordinary, their strength and speed are not much worse than the leopard, they are already very tall, if you look at it from the back, it is a short white horse, the current Buick's back has reached his waist, Gu Li is not much worse, it is only seven months old, it is so big, if you wait for 1 year old, it will not become a giant beast, and the speed and explosiveness will definitely exceed the few that Ouyang Xuan hunted. Since soaking in that hot spring, my strength and ability to reflect have also made a qualitative leap, and I know best that the hot spring is not only radon, but also other substances. The tongues of the two wolves no longer fluoresce, it seems that there is a limit to the amount of those substances entering the bloodstream, and there are more than 100 liters of hot spring water, hoping to use it to get out of the desert. The grass on the horse's back was running out, and half of the water was still there. From the changes in the distance of Sanwei Mountain in the past few days, I can probably judge the location, and the telescope I bring cannot measure the distance, otherwise I can use trigonometric functions to accurately position myself. The current location is roughly in the center of the desert in the north-south direction, and on the east-west side of the desert.

At 10 p.m. on the sixth day of the desert, I finally saw an oasis where the altitude could be below sea level, based on air pressure. The oasis is small, the size of two football fields in a puddle of water, surrounded by poplars and weeds. Set up camp in a sand nest on the leeward side of the sand beam far from the oasis, and because of the oasis, you don't have to worry about the water and unload all the camels and horses. He led the white wolf to the oasis to drink water and eat grass, cut down some dead poplar trees along the way, let the white wolf take care of the camels and horses, and returned to the camp behind the mountain beam. The oasis is life-saving but also fatal in the desert, where it is a fighting arena for all kinds of animals in the desert. In this era, there should be fierce beasts such as sand wolves and sand foxes, but no matter how lightly they are taken lightly, especially sand wolves, they are all evil ghosts, and their companions eat their companions when they die, as long as they are animal corpses, they will eat them, and generally a wolf pack must have at least more than 50 wolves. When the camp was settled, there was a whistle, and after a while, Buick and Guli drove camels and horses to appear on the mountain beams, and saw that their bellies were bulging, which was good, as long as they were full, they could go out tomorrow, and it was already dark, so they placed the camels and horses, picked up the binoculars and observed the oasis in the night, and the gerbils ran to the lake in groups to drink water, and then quickly disappeared. After a while, a rabbit came out of the hole in the ground, drank water, and was grazing with its ears not far away, and suddenly stopped while eating, turned its ears, and quickly ran back to the hole, and looked at it from a distance with a telescope, and it turned out to be a wild camel.

This thing is not easy to domesticate, or I really want to catch a peak. There is a water source here, and it should not be far from the crescent spring, judging by the mountain shape, it should be half a day away. I went down the mountain and went back to eat some air-dried meat. The fire roasted a few big pieces and fed the white wolf, how do you see how these two guys don't look like wolves, more and more like Hashqi, the eyes definitely have no wolf characteristics, not that kind of fierce gaze, you have to your big tail every day, if you put it in the city of the future, this is Hashqi. It's just that instead of a dog barking, it's a wolf howling. In the middle of the night, two lonely guys howled at the waning moon for a long time. Something was wrong, so he quickly drew his knife in his hand, grabbed the crossbow, hung the crossbow quiver and got out of the tent. As soon as they came out, the two wolves sat on the side of the camel and howled, and the mountain beam not far away was shining green under the headlamp. If there is a fierce fight, go back to the tent as fast as you can, take out the knife, and light the firewood.

After confronting the wolves on the mountain beam for more than three hours, the fish belly had already appeared in the east, and the wolves dispersed. I hurriedly went back to make up for my sleep, got up when the sun was high, packed my things, went to the lake, cut three sheaves of grass, filled them with cowhide water bags for the horses to carry, and then set off on my journey. Along the way, Ouyang Xuan always had a feeling of unease, as if there were always eyes looking at him in the dark.

Until more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I saw the crescent-like sand lake in the distance on a sand mountain, and the very famous Mingsha Mountain, there are some tents and camels not far from the lake, judging by the size of the tent, the distance is not very close, not to mention more than ten miles. Pulling the camel and whistling for the brother and sister to follow, they were also nervous along the way, looking at the mountain beams from time to time, and they were not frolicking. In the evening, I finally arrived at the crescent moon spring, the lake was several times larger than that of later generations, and there were no buildings that were unsightly, primitive and simple, and the reeds by the lake were growing wildly. Not far from the lake, there were about five or six tents on the mountain beam, surrounded by a sand building, and there were some people in Western costumes coming in and out.

Ouyang Xuan led the camel and said in Mandarin at the door, "Is there anyone inside?" "There is something wrong with this question, I can't think of what to ask for a while, I can't go in directly, in case there is danger, it will be troublesome, a Hu man in a linen shirt, walked out, looked at Ouyang Xuan, and said in Chinese, "Childe is going west or east", "I want to go east, I don't know where this is", "Childe, this is Loulan Shajing Station, if you want to stay, you can't be satisfied here, you can only build your own accommodation, this post can provide some travel materials for Childe, and you can also provide companionship with a lone person like Childe". "Oh, thank you so much, I don't know where to stay?" "In this post within a radius of 500 steps, not far away, the sand wolf here is particularly troubled, tomorrow there is a Great Xia caravan to the east, the son can come to contact it later." "Thank you, I'll visit you later."

There were six tents on the front and back, and he had to put his tent on the outside of the two large tents on the west side, or the camel on the outside, and the horse on the inside, and take off the head cover of the horse and the wolf. Tents were secured, stakes were erected, and the uneasiness grew stronger as night fell. The white wolf brother and sister even squatted and looked at the surrounding mountain beams, twitching their noses from time to time, letting the two guys look at the camels and horses, carrying swords and crossbows with headlamps on their backs, and going to the earth house to inquire about the situation here, Ouyang Xuan can now judge that this kind of uneasiness comes from the sand wolves, and there are a large number of sand wolves, and this kind of uneasiness is not found in the desert oasis.

The inside of the wooden house was very dim, only an oil lamp flickered and emitted a faint light, and under the light there was only the person who had just spoken to him, and when he came, he saw many people, but now there was only one, which made people wonder very much, there was no one in the tent outside, not even camels and horses. "Dare to ask Yicheng, where have all the others gone?" "Childe won't tell you, in the afternoon, someone saw several groups of sand wolves gathered together behind the sand mountain, at least more than 500, several people rode to Dunhuang, and some people are now in the sand cave with the post, it is too late for the son to go to Dunhuang now, but for the time being, the sand cave can be hidden, at present it can still accommodate 1 person, this post has this sand house to hide temporarily should be fine, just ask Tengger God to bless", it turned out to be the case, more than 500 wolves are indeed a bit much, and they don't know if they can cope with it alone. "How sandy is it here, how long does it take to dig a ditch 50 steps wide and three people deep?" "The sand here is hard because of the water, and according to Childe, it takes less than 3 hours", and the six hours are too late, "I wonder if I can accommodate the horses and camels to hide?" "You can take refuge in this sand hut for a while, so please ask the post man to go to the cave for a while, and bring a camel and horse over." It seems that this is a big wolf fight. "Please take care" After speaking, he moved a clay jar in the corner of the wall, leaked a hole, drilled into the hole, and moved the clay jar from the inside to seal the mouth. This method is still useful for a small number of wolves, a large number of basic decorations, as long as the clay jar is broken, the smell comes up, the people inside are the turtles in the urn, the hungry sand wolf is not like other wolves, it is an endless battle, and if you don't kill the last wolf, you won't stop attacking. Hurriedly led his camels and horses into the house, reluctantly stuffed three horses and two camels, and took all his backpacks and other equipment and supplies into the house, put them on the back of the camel, pulled out the shovel, and the whole house was stuffed to the brim, if only the camels could lie down, but obviously they were also very uneasy. The tent was also put away, put it into the house, and let the white wolf into the house, these two guys had to follow, since they had been training for so long, then follow. Holding a knife in his right hand and a sword in his left hand, he led the brother and sister out of the house.

Outside the door is closed, with a wooden bolt to help, there is no way back at all, only to fight. Take advantage of the time to dig a meter and a half deep, two meters wide round ditch around himself and the white wolf at the fastest speed, the diameter of the whole circle is about 5 meters, find some dry firewood and throw it into the ditch, look for a circle, do not find the oil, have to take out the dry firewood and throw it outside the circle, the wolf on the sand mountain has not yet appeared. Look at the time is already more than 9 o'clock, the waning moon is hanging in the sky, and today is a little extra white. According to the wolf's activity time, after 12 o'clock, he returned to the house and took three large pieces of beef jerky, came out to plug the door on the reverse, and found some dry firewood to enter the circle. He lit a fire, put three pieces of jerky with a crossbow arrow, one for himself and one for each of the two wolves, took off the water bag he had with him and fed him some water, and threw the rest of the jerky eaten by himself and the white wolf into the fire. Sitting by the fire, the headlamp scans every sand hill and sand beam with high beams. Feeling a little bored, I knocked each other with my sword, and beat the rhythm according to the song I was familiar with in later generations, and sometimes sang a song, how good it would be if I had a flute, although I didn't play it well, it was very appropriate at this time. When they were thinking about how to make the flute, Buick and Gu Lilu got up and stared at the highest sand mountain behind the sand lake, and the headlamps swept away, and a group of white eyes reflected.

Unintentionally reverie, he quickly got up, held the sword in his left hand, the knife in his right hand, and hung a good string on the crossbow arrow on his waist, this is for the head wolf, the white wolf brothers and sisters began to howl wolf for a while, and the voice was very domineering, much stronger than a few months ago by the hot spring. After a while, the surrounding mountain beams and sand mountains were full of wolves, which really seemed to be unkind. With a loud roar on the sand hill behind the crescent moon spring, the wolves around them rushed down the sand slope in a neat manner, rushing towards the fire that smelled of barbecue. The wolves come from all directions, and the ditches around them are in a backlit position under the firelight, and they can't be seen at all if they don't come to the front, and the white wolves protect their backs, and the claws of the two of them are enough to slap a skinny sand wolf to death.

In a moment's effort, the first group of the nearest sand wolves took the lead in jumping over the ditch, and Ouyang Xuan slashed down to cut off the head of a wolf that was rushing towards him head-on, and the long sword he held behind stabbed into the wolf's mouth accurately. The knife in the right hand keeps slashing diagonally to protect the front and the right side, and the left side is responsible for the long sword held in reverse, the white wolf's side is not bad, there are not many wolves attacking, all of them are resolved by their big claws and powerful bites, one bites the prey, the other is responsible for guarding, repeatedly alternating, with very skillful, repeated jumping and biting, are stable and ruthless. A bite must be important, if you want to break your neck, you will loosen your mouth, since there are not many sand wolves attacking the two of them, most of them are concentrated in front of Ouyang Xuan and left and right, as long as there is a gray shadow, he will swing his knife and split. On the left side is to supplement the position that the knife cannot protect, reducing the time delayed by turning. These wolves are also more particular about not attacking the legs, they should really wear the armor, more than an hour, the first wave of attacks can be stopped, the ditch one meter and five deep has been filled, the wolves outside the circle have begun to bite the corpse of their companions, and those who can't grab it behind have stepped on the body of their companions, dragged out the corpses of their companions from the ditch, and began to bite and eat. Ouyang Xuan hurriedly threw the sand wolf corpse in the circle out of the circle with a knife, cleaned up the inner circle, the white wolf had turned into a red wolf, squatting and staring at the direction of the crescent moon, there was no shadow of a wolf on the sand mountain, the head wolf was either hiding, or by the lake, and outside the circle was a gray wolf, all rushing to eat the corpses of their companions. Can't wait for the second wave to take the initiative, so many wolves are indeed a lot, if they all pounce, just the corpse can bury one person and two wolves.

Think, signal the white wolf root behind him, the sand wolf at this time only cares about his own food, it is a good time to take the initiative to attack, wait for a while The first wolf howls, it will be too late. Also sword into the sheath, the left hand holds the right hand into both hands to hold the knife, jump over the ditch, immediately with the fastest speed, left and right turn the knife to draw the arc and keep turning the wrist, from the bottom to the top obliquely, the outer arc, the inner oblique chop, to the high point and then turn the outer arc of the wrist downward, in an inner oblique chop, so repeatedly clean up the surrounding sand wolf, take two steps forward, the white wolf came over and signaled to follow, along the ditch circle running and waving the knife, a circle down and then outward expansion, repeatedly ran 8 times is already the sand wolf corpses all over the ground, less than half of the living wolves remain, Swept it with a headlamp, there were four pairs of white eyes reflected in the reeds by the lake, and the white wolf basically followed after a few laps, and few sand wolves reflected to attack from behind. In an expansion of the range of running laps, both hands are still fast swinging knives for two laps have been 300 meters away from the position of the head wolf, suddenly a disguised straight to the outermost circle of wolves, there are all wandering wolves, but also the most dangerous, it is very likely to quickly fill the gap in the past, the smart ones will attack the white wolf from behind, and must shoot the head wolf as fast as possible. On the outermost side, the wolves did not seem to be smart, but went straight to the corpses of their companions in the inner circle, and now only a quarter of the wolves remained. Quickly insert the knife into the ground, draw three arrows from the crossbow arrow belt, pick up the crossbow and shoot directly at the middle pair of shining eyes under the headlamp, and immediately release the arrow to wind, and draw the second one in the middle. After four arrows in a row, in less than 5 seconds, the crossbow pulled out the knife on the ground, the headlamp swept the reeds once, and there were no shining eyes, and motioned for the white wolf to go over and take a look. He kept chopping a few attacking sand wolves in the same place, and after a while, the white wolf dragged out four wolves from the reeds, and under the headlamp, they were all white. After a whistle to keep them up, they continued to charge and kill the sand wolves who only cared about eating their companions, and after another three laps, the few remaining wolves finally retreated, and there were about 100 or so, either to be full, or to adopt a new way of attacking. The way to retreat is not to turn around and run, but to gather in a group, slowly retreat, very organized, and it seems that there is still a wolf. Quickly take off the crossbow, put the arrow on the wind, hang on the waist, continue the pursuit, a slightly larger sand wolf suddenly raised its neck, a strange scream, it is it, the left hand picked up the crossbow, one-handed aim and fire, the wolf only barked half and fell. The other wolves don't know for what reason, they were retreating, and when the wolf fell, they suddenly charged forward in a cluster, or so orderly, there were intermediate assaults, and there were detours on both sides, it seemed that the wolf was a substitute for the ghost, and the wolf was hiding in a certain position, the wolf's temperament had to be understood by the wolf, and when the wolves charged over, Buick and Guli looked at a bunker not far away at the same time.

I don't have time to pay attention to the wolf, let's defuse the situation in front of me first. There are more than 20 wolves on each side of the roundabout wolf pack on both sides, and half of the frontal cluster charges, in the face of this cluster charge without weapons and horses, the best way is to brake quietly, signaling Buick and Guli to be responsible for the back, and they are responsible for the frontal charge, holding the knife with both hands to repeat the attack method just now for the attack in situ, but less than 10 minutes, there is no complete wolf corpse on the front, and the side is bitten and slapped by the white wolf, and a confrontation situation has been formed. Quickly inserted the knife and picked up the crossbow, took out four arrows, wound them, and shot two guys who looked like wolves. Signaling the white wolf to follow, he drew his sword and hung his crossbow and ran towards the sand pit, and more than 30 sand wolves followed slowly, it seemed that they had shot correctly, otherwise they should have attacked if they ran forward. When he arrived at the edge of the bunker, his headlamp swept away, and there were six wolves in the pit, all of them were not small, one of them was the largest white, and his size was about the same as Gu Li, but the hair on his neck was relatively short and very thin, and when Ouyang Xuan appeared at the edge of the bunker, five of these six guys actually prepared to attack. Quickly inserted the knife into the ground, held the crossbow in his left hand, drew four arrows in his right hand, plus two in his hand, fired 6 arrows in a row, killed, turned around with the crossbow, drew the knife, and rushed to the last group of wolves that were gathering. The knife was put into the sheath, and the short knife was drawn, and first he went down to the pit to take out the crossbow arrows, and then he went to find all the others, wiped the blood from the handles, and put them in the bag.

I went down to the sand pit and inspected the white wolf that was about the same size as Gu Li, the fangs were much longer than Gu Li, and the mouth was closed, the fangs were still exposed to a large extent, the head was also very large, the top of the skull was a little protruding, and when the tongue was opened, it was also shining, it was a special green, and the blood flowing from the wound of the crossbow arrow also had a faint fluorescence. It is also a monster that has been irradiated by radioactive materials, and there must be a radioactive source similar to the Tianshan Hot Springs in the vicinity. In addition to Sanwei Mountain, there is Qilian Mountain nearby, and a small reflective blue gravel was found on the claw. The other wolves have not changed in particular. I went to the reed to check on the four wolves, all of them were not small, and there was also green fluorescence in their tongues and blood, and the biggest gain was that Ouyang Xuan dissected the stomach of a wolf and found a larger blue stone inside.

When he was about to cut open the belly of the other wolf, he felt a little uneasy, Buick and Guli stared straight at the bunker, seeing their expressions a little frightened, this was the first time. Since there is a remnant of sins, you have to continue to fight, insert the short knife, take off the nu, draw the arrow and wind it, when the preparation is completed, the ground has already shaken slightly, Gu Li didn't know when to retreat behind Ouyang Xuan, biting his trouser leg and dragging it back. Turn around and pet its head and give it some comfort. When he turned back again, a huge black shadow appeared in the sand pit, the headlamp swept over, the eyes reflected a bright blue light, the upper and lower four brown-red giant canine teeth, at least two fingers thick, the size was much larger than the giant bear that Ouyang Xuan shot in the hot spring, the size of the bear in the moonlight was at least twice the size of the bear, but it was not a bear, it was an animal like a wolf, and its forelimbs were stronger and longer than its hind limbs. It looks terrifying, no wonder the Buick and Guli brothers and sisters are afraid, this thing can't be hand-to-hand combat, and he pulled out four arrows from the quiver and clamped them, judging by the wolf corpse on the sand, there is still a distance of 400 meters. motioned to the white wolf brothers and sisters to stay here, and greeted them with crossbows.

When the distance was only 300 meters, he pulled the trigger and shot directly into the eye, and shot four arrows in his fingers in a row, four straight into the left and right eye sockets, and one in the middle of the brain, and the distance when the monster fell was only more than 80 meters away from himself. wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, quickly hung up the crossbow, drew out the sword, and ran towards the monster with his right hand backhand sword at the speed of a hundred meters of sprint, and there were still two steps away, with the help of speed under the feet to jump hard, there was a straight body front flip in the air, there was no body * so perfect foot landing, Ouyang Xuan slapped the monster head-on, the sword in his hand was straight down with the help of the falling speed, poof, judging by the feel, the sword was inserted into the cervical vertebrae behind the head, through the bones, and then it sank rapidly. The front chest was heavily pressed against the tail of the hilt, and if it weren't for the left hand supporting the ground, it is estimated that at least it would have been broken. Can't delay at all, quickly close his legs, roll on the left side of the right loose sword, leave this wild beast, endure the pain in his chest, and the contusion of his left arm, draw the knife in his left hand and hand it over to his right hand, hold the knife in both hands, raise it high, run two steps towards the monster that is still struggling, and slash down to the neck with all his might, poof, click, the neck of nearly 1 meter thick is broken in response, and the action of the conditioned reflex of the forelimbs almost scratches Ouyang Xuan. He straightened up, waited for two minutes, and his head was completely still, before he drew his sword with his hands and feet, put his sword into the sheath, and drew his short knife and cut out five crossbow arrows. The blood on the ground glowed faintly green in the moonlight. Whistle called the white wolf brother and sister. After inspecting the entire battlefield again, the air was filled with a thick disgusting smell of blood, there were broken corpses of sand wolves everywhere, and the white bones left by their companions, this scene was no different from hell, and his body was also full of wolf blood, the white wolf was already a red wolf, and the white and yellow sand in the moonlight had become black.

led the white wolf brothers and sisters to the lake, found a place where there were no reeds and aquatic plants within 50 meters, took off their camouflage uniforms, wore only fleece**, and washed off the blood stains on their clothes by the lake. The white wolf brothers and sisters don't have to worry about themselves, they jump directly into the lake when they get to the lake, licking each other and cleaning. The blood stains on the camouflage uniform are easy to wash, just rub them a little in the water and they will come off. After washing, lay flat on the sand to dry. Then help the brother and sister rub it with sand to completely wash away the blood stains on their bodies, the smell of blood is not good for their growth, it will make them more bloodthirsty and their temper will become irritable.

Everything is finished, the morning star has appeared in the east, lying on the cool sand, admiring the lake and mountains under the night, the lake is blue, calm like a sapphire in the moonlight, reflecting the sand mountain, blue and yellow have a unique flavor in the moonlight, quiet and deep, if there is no sand wolf, here is a fairyland on earth. The pain in the chest and arms also gradually weakened, Buick and Guli were injured in different degrees on their legs and bodies, all of them were skin injuries, they had the miraculous effect of hot springs, and they would be fine in a while, and gradually Ouyang Xuan fell asleep.

When the first rays of sunlight shone down, one man and two wolves woke up, put on their camouflage uniforms, which were still a little wet, hung their weapons on their backs, and went to the sand hut. When he saw the dead monster on the road, Ouyang Xuan's back was a little cold. If the giant bear in the hot spring valley is big enough, then this guy should be called super huge, the size of a head is about the same as a bear's buttocks, the height of the forelimbs is higher than Ouyang Xuan's height of one meter seven five, at least one meter eight or more, the forelimbs and legs are as thick as Ouyang Xuan's waist, and the four brown-red canine teeth are scary to look at. This guy is a medium-sized elephant with long hair and no nose, and judging by its appearance, this monster should be a mutation of a wolf. Fortunately, my tactics are correct, shoot it in the eye first to make it fall, and then break its neck, otherwise I would really have to explain it here today. Look at this tooth is good, get it down in a while, carve it and put it on Buick Guli.

Get the camels, horses, and their own supplies out of the hut, and camp on the east side, the west side is too terrifying, so let's protect their young hearts, everything is in order. Then he went to move the clay jar and shouted to the entrance of the cave, it is safe, let them come out. After a while, people came up from the cave one after another, a total of two women, nineteen men, twenty-one people, five Han people, and the others were Hu people. Seeing Yicheng coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Please Yicheng, please have some manpower to clean up the west side of the sand house, it made a little mess at a certain time last night." Yi Cheng was already very surprised to see Ouyang Xuan standing here alive, and nodded, "A few tents, go to Dunhuang later to find someone to clean up, Gongzi is fine, Gongzi, please go to rest first, I will send someone to Dunhuang to invite people", "There is Lao Yicheng, can there be cow and goat milk here?" After speaking, he took out a small piece of cut gold from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand, "some", after finishing speaking, he removed the sand from a table, lifted a board, took out a small sheepskin bag, and threw it to Ouyang Xuan, "A bag of milk, sent from Dunhuang yesterday, given to Gongzi", Ouyang Xuan took the bag, and then returned to the camp to pick up some dry firewood to boil milk tea. The others waited for the light to get used to the light before pushing the door out of the house, and a few of them were directly vomited by the thick smell of blood in the air.

Note: The legend of the sand wolf in this chapter I moved the time from the Warring States period to the Western Han Dynasty, it is a Central Asian folk legend, I don't know where the manhole is, but according to the legend of Central Asian poetry: "Female singer: At the lake of the first moon, the sand mountain is ringing, the manhole is blue, the brave man, I am waiting for you by the manhole of the moon, the lake is like a crescent moon, waiting for you to defeat the hungry wolves, I am waiting for you to return in the blue crescent; Male singer: Beautiful girl, the wolf blood has soaked my leather jacket, the wolf blood has invaded the ground under my feet, the wolves as many as the grains of sand will not make me afraid, wait for me by the manhole, the beautiful wolf teeth will be worn on your chest, that is my soul, it is my eyes that look at you" (excerpt from the epic song played and sung by Kazakh folk Aken), I judge that it is probably the crescent moon spring, and the location is also here, increasing the aura of the protagonist, that monster, it is indeed recited in history, and there is also a giant wolf in the Altun Mountains mentioned in the Kazakh epic, The person who defeated the giant wolf was Algin, the great-grandfather of the King of South in this book, the original owner of the monarch and the minister who held a sword in his hand, and I moved the location of this legend hundreds of kilometers, and the time was also wrong by a hundred years, in order to increase the aura of the protagonist. If you have readers who know exactly where the manhole is, you can also leave a message to let you know.
