Chapter Thirty-Eight: Encountering Wolves

The day after An Longma left, Du He handed over the affairs at hand to Liu Renliang to take care of, and asked Zhang Xiong to assist.

When Zhang Xiong heard Du He say that he wanted to go deep into the Dasha Sea to find someone, he immediately persuaded him not to go, saying that the Dasha Sea was more dangerous than Mohe Yanmoi. The danger of Moheyan Moraine lies in the climate, while the danger of the Great Sand Sea lies in the animals. The Great Sand Sea is full of all sorts of unknown dangers.

But Du He didn't care, insisted on going, took Luo Tong and more than 20 guards, hired a guide in Liuzhong City, and entered the Great Sand Sea.

Big Sand Sea!

As soon as you hear the name, you will know what kind of place it is, like Moheyan Moraine, which is also an endless desert.

However, compared to Moheyan, there is a lot more life here.

Moheyan moraine is vast and barren, and the only place with water is Mustang Spring. And here is the Gobi desert, empty, boundless, like the sea, but you can see sparse plants everywhere, camel thorns, sand holly, etc., and there are not a few small oases.

The main thing is the animals, in this big sand sea there are antelopes, sand foxes, wild camels, gerbils and larks, desert warblers, sand grouse, wild geese, bustards and so on, they come in groups of three or five, some live in the wind erosion caves of the hanging rock cliffs, and some haunt the bushes of the sand dunes...... They walk and fly less, and have a characteristic protective color, so they often only hear the sound of birdsong, but do not see its shadow.

On the third day of going deep into the Great Sand Sea, Du He also knew why Zhang Xiong said that the Great Sand Sea was more dangerous, there were not only those harmless creatures, but also lizards, rattlesnakes, vultures and other powerful characters that would attack people.

In particular, rattlesnakes are particularly powerful, hiding in the sand and soil, and if they are not treated in time, they will be finished immediately.

But the guide said that it was not a rattlesnake that was really powerful in the great sand sea, but a kind of eagle, a kind of overlord in the desert - the wolf-eating eagle!

"What kind of eagle is a wolf-eating eagle?" Du He has the experience and knowledge of the future, and rarely encounters things that he does not know, and this wolf eater is one of them.

The guide, who was in his fifties and looked like a simple face, replied: "The wolf-eating eagle is the overlord of the desert, with unrivaled claws, capable of tearing everything, and can directly grasp the wolf's skull. They are the nemesis of wolves, they like to eat wolves, and they often see wolf eaters attacking wolves in the desert, and in the face of the ferocity of wolf eaters, no matter how many wolves can only escape. My father once saw a wolf-eating eagle calmly crisscrossing a pack of hundreds of wolves in this sea of sand, killing fifteen wolves in a row before he left satisfied, and the wolves couldn't help it. ”

Speaking of the wolf eater, the guide had a look of pride and adoration on his face.

Du He thought for a moment and said, "What are you talking about, but the kind of eagle with a black-brown head on the top of the head, long feathers from the back of the head to the back of the neck, a row of willow leaves, a dark russet feather base, a golden yellow feather tip, and a black-brown feather dry pattern?" "If it's this kind of eagle, Du He knows it. This eagle was later called the golden eagle and was one of the most ferocious eagles in the world.

The most ferocious eagle in Asia is the golden eagle and the ape-eating eagle, as for what Jiannu said that Hai Dongqing is the most handsome eagle, that is nonsense, hairy children can't see the world.

Haidongqing is the largest 60 centimeters to the top, and the golden eagle is a meter long at will, and the ape-eating eagle is known as the world's largest eagle, with the reputation of "the tiger among eagles", and the body shape is also more than one meter.

The guide was stunned and said, "It turns out that Gongzi also knows about the wolf eater. This is tantamount to acknowledging Duhe's words.

Du He smiled and nodded.

They continued to walk in the sea of sand, and walked for another day, when the sunset was like blood, and the sky was darkening for a while, and everyone was about to find a place to rest.

The guide said, "I remember that there was an oasis in the land ahead, and we could go there to rest. ”

They went on for a mile, and their horses began to riot without any reason.

Duho struggled to control the horse before it was calmed down.

"What's going on?" Du He was surprised, his mounts were made from the strict training of horse trainers, and some war horses would not be like this even if they were attacked by enemies!

"Not good! There are wolves nearby! The guide let out a low cry of horror, he had encountered a similar situation, the horse's intuition was far better than that of humans, and he had a different sense of his natural enemies.

"Look, underground!" Not far from them there were rows of footprints, not of people but of animals. The guide stepped forward to take a closer look and said in shock: "It's a wolf...... It's the footprints of wolves, no, it's not a pack, it's a pack. Hurry back, we've met the wolves. ”

The wind came slowly, and in addition to the slight coolness, it also brought a slight sound.

"Wait......" Du He listened intently, and faintly heard the sound of fighting: "There has been a fight in front, since we have met it, we can't ignore it...... Guide, you're watching from the sidelines, brothers, copy guys! ”

Du He brought elite men, and it was not difficult to deal with a hundred wolves with twenty of them!

Under his orders, more than 20 people drew their sabers one after another, and listened to his orders at any time.

The guide also pulled out the scimitar he was wearing, and he was most afraid of walking alone at night in the Great Sand Sea, although he was afraid, he also knew that at this moment, only by following the troops was the real way to save his life.

Du He followed the footprints, and after walking less than half a mile, he came to a sand slope, and under the sand slope was a small oasis, and hundreds of wolves surrounded a burly man who was thirty-five or sixteen years old. The burly man held a scimitar in his hand and stalemate with the wolves, and beside him there were six wolf corpses.

He stood calmly, surrounded by wolves, but not flustered.

They looked down from the sandy slope and had an unobstructed view of the oasis.

The guide said in a trembling voice: "There are more than one hundred and fifty heads, it's over, this person is finished, let's retreat from us, don't lead the idea of wolves." ”

Du He was unmoved, just looking for the most suitable opportunity to attack. The wolves were one of the wisest and most cunning of the group, and they besieged the burly man and did not attack, apparently intending to drain his physical strength and let him survive in panic, causing them to lose their strength and give them a chance.

But brutes are brutes, they know how to use schemes, but they don't know how to analyze situations.

The burly man's expression did not show any panic at all, but always maintained a certain calmness. Looking at his eagle-like eyes from afar, Du He knew that he had found the right person, this burly man was the best in his life.

Du Ho's eyes searched among the wolves, looking for the shadow of a wolf. The wolves are like a well-trained army, and one of their leaders is called the head wolf, which is the wolf king, and as long as the first wolf is killed, the wolf pack will lose its backbone and become a mess.

In the night, a silver wolf in the wolf pack that was different from the other wolves came into Du He's eyes, the wolf was bigger than the average wolf, and the scarlet eyes stared at the burly man. There are several wolves that resemble guards around it.

Just as Duhor locked on to the wolf.

Suddenly, the burly man let out a long howl, followed by a sharp roar, and a black shadow fell from the sky, as fast as lightning in the wind.

When Duhe came back to his senses, he found that the wolf had fallen in a pool of blood.

The black shadow turned out to be a strange-looking giant eagle, its speed of hunting the head wolf, so fast that he didn't even have a chance to react, concentrating on it, his mind was like a slow motion replay, the situation of the eagle hunting the head wolf was clearly thought of: the eagle grabbed the wolf's waist as scheduled like a falling meteorite, and with a huge momentum, let one of its claws reach into the skin without reservation, out of instinct, the head wolf turned its head. Without hesitation, the eagle freed up its other claw and grabbed it in the eye, and as if it were comfortably embraced, the talon pierced its head from the weakest point of its head. Such a domineering blow directly caused the wolf to die.

With the death of the first wolf, the wolves were in a mess, they exclaimed, they were no longer formed, and rushed madly towards the burly man.

"Kill!" Duhe knew that the wolves had lost their leader, and it was the most turbulent time, so he shouted and rode his horse to meet him, he pulled out three throwing knives from his waist and shot them at the wolves, shooting them to the ground. Luo Tong also shot two arrows at the same time, taking the surnames of the two wolves with their lives. Then the downhill trend, Duhe took the lead, bravely cut into the wolf pack, left and right, just the first encounter, the wolf pack immediately reduced to half.

The head wolf died, and he was hit like this, and one after another vicious wolves, from the beginning to the present, have been limited to passivity everywhere. How dare they fight, in order to save their surnames, they fled one after another. The eagle soaring high in the sky kept taking their lives, so fast and ruthless that almost no wolf could survive under its talons.

"What a powerful eagle!" Du He immediately understood Tuoba Wushuang's method of saving people among thousands of people, since he could command the eagle to kill the head wolf accurately, it was not a problem to capture the human leader, as long as he made a surprise move and captured the leader, the rest would not dare to act rashly. Presumably, when he was saving An Longma, he used this method.

After killing the wolves, Du He came to the burly man and asked, "May I ask if Your Excellency is Tuoba Wushuang, right?" ”

"Yes, I'm Tuoba Peerless!" Tuoba Wushuang didn't know why Du He knew his name, but he had a life-saving grace for himself, so he didn't ask much, but just bowed deeply to Du He, "Thank you for this son's life-saving grace...... If it weren't for Gongzi, Tuoba Wushuang would have been buried in the belly of a wolf at this moment. ”

Du He turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "You are too polite, you have the help of the Divine Eagle, I believe that even if we don't come, you can persevere." You should have discovered our existence from the Condor earlier, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have killed the head wolf, you were deliberately provoking the wolves, in order to create such a good opportunity for us to attack. ”

Tuoba Wushuang didn't hide it, but just smiled: "Until now, I am still beating a drum in my heart, but fortunately, I believe in the right person and did not let me become the belly of those evil wolves." ”
