Chapter Twenty-Three: Desperate Situation

The horses gradually ran out of strength, but Bai Yan didn't know when Hu Xie behind him would catch up, so he could only continue to run forward, which reminded him of when Wei Ke took him to the Wing Forest, they also ran like this, and even ran to death a horse halfway, and later after arriving at the Wing Forest, Wei Ke kept the surviving horse in his mansion, and often went over to see it.

But the difference is that Bai Yan is now sitting in the original position of Wei Ke, and he knows how dangerous and exhausting this position is, if there is a choice, he is still willing to sit in front and let Wei Ke hold the reins. But looking at the badly injured Meteor Frost, he opened his mouth and clenched the stiff rope tightly.

The sky is getting dark, the wind is blowing on the grassland, and a trace of coldness hits Bai Yan's spirit, he must quickly settle down the meteor frost, after dark, there are more variables. After running for a while, he finally saw a relatively large stone, which should be enough to shelter from the wind, Bai Yan stopped his horse, he jumped off the horse first, and then gently took the meteor frost down. Meteor Frost had already fallen asleep, and White Flame carried him to the big stone and gently lowered it, then collected some hay around him, spread it briefly, and put Meteor Frost on it.

Bai Yan took out the dry food he brought with him and ate a little, and fed Meteor Frost a little water, he didn't dare to leave Meteor Frost by himself, let alone make a fire, for fear of attracting Hu Xie, he took off the clothes in the armor and covered Meteor Frost's body, and sat quietly next to him. The sky was still vaguely white, but it was already dark on the grassland, and the war horses not far away were already tired and resting on the ground. Bai Yan wrapped his clothes and looked at the sky in the dark night, unlike the city in the sky, the moon was huge and bright every night, and there was no trace of the moon in the sky this night, not even a few stars. The white flame in black armor melted into the dark night, he couldn't sleep with his eyes open, he remembered Biyifei, remembered the agreement he had with her before he came to fight the barbarians, and he would bring the barbarian gadgets back to her; He thought of Master Han, and suddenly wanted to go back to Zongheng Pavilion immediately to listen to him dance and give another lesson; But suddenly he remembered the night when the city was broken, he shook the knife in his hand, he no longer cried, but the surging sadness could not be stopped. He simply stopped thinking about it, closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep.

At midnight, Bai Yan was awakened by a loud noise, and he immediately drew his knife and stood up, looked at the meteor frost beside him, and looked into the distance. The sound came from the war horse, which stood up, digging the ground on its hind legs, and spewing rough air from its nose, as if full of uneasiness and fear.

Bai Yan walked to the side of the war horse with a knife and didn't find anything, sometimes animal instincts are much sharper than humans, Bai Yan turned around and climbed the stone, looking around, when he looked at the front side of the stone, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, where dozens of pairs of green eyes surrounded the place where they were. It's the wolves, and it's the ferocious steppe wolves.

Bai Yan hurriedly got down from the big stone, his first thought was to jump on the war horse and escape, but the war horse with the weight of him and Meteor Frost would eventually be caught up by the wolves, and he would definitely die at that time. He looked up at the boulder, then picked up the meteor frost and climbed up the boulder, as long as he held the boulder until dawn, the steppe wolves would retreat.

The wolves discovered White Flame's attempt, so they immediately attacked, and in the middle of the way, several wolves turned to attack the warhorse, which was chained to the stone by White Flame, and after a few neighing sounds, it was silent. Bai Yan pushed the meteor frost to the top of the stone with difficulty, the wolves had already arrived in front of the stone, a wolf jumped up and bit Bai Yan's trouser leg that was about to climb up and dragged it down, Bai Yan was startled, drew a knife and cut its neck, the wolf slid down without making a sound, Bai Yan quickly put his foot up.

Bai Yan took the knife and watched the wolves jump up one by one, he rushed forward and swung the knife to slash, these wolves are extremely smart, and they are much more flexible than those brute soldiers, Bai Yan may not be able to kill a wolf even if he swings the knife a few times, but will be bitten or scratched. He had to hurry up and drive down the wolves that came up, and if he waited for the wolves behind him to rush up, he would not be an opponent at all.

Now Bai Yan is like defending a city by himself, the enemy has already attacked the city wall, if he does not hurry up and kill the enemy on the city wall, he will die without a place to bury.
