Chapter 1494: Brave New World (12)
"What?!" Before the thieves could react, a large group of wild wolves had already surged out of the dark woods, and pounced, bitten, and gnawed at the face, throat, and abdomen of the thieves!
"What, what?!" The leader of the thieves panicked when he saw that his men were suddenly scattered by the army of wolves!
However, his panic was only a matter of moments. In the next second, a silver wolf as tall as a human had secretly appeared from behind and bit the throat of the leader of the thieves in an instant!!
"W-what?!" the leader of the thieves, whose throat was torn to a bloody pulp, fell down with a low cry of exclamation.
At the same time, the wolves who took advantage of the chaos to sneak up on the thieves had also eliminated most of the thieves, and were busy tearing off the flesh and eating the internal organs from the half-dead people little by little!
This blood-spurting scene shouldn't have frightened Arthur, after all, Arthur had already experienced a battlefield hundreds of times more brutal than this. However, in this dark woods, in this isolated barren mountains and mountains, facing this army of wild wolves full of primitive madness, even Arthur couldn't help but be nervous!
There were at least thirty wild wolves present, and the heads were nearly half a human height, fat and strong, and they were adult wild wolves. Although the appearance is still wolf-like, the terrifying size of these wolves can already be included in Warcraft and the like!
Within tens of seconds, the group of thieves were killed and wounded, and those who were seriously injured could not escape death, and those who were lightly injured wanted to escape were chased and killed by wild wolves in an instant! The group of thieves besieging Arthur was wiped out in an instant!
However, the situation of Arthur and the girl behind him has not changed at all, and it is still not optimistic!
The army of wild wolves has no plans to attack for the time being, but Arthur knows that this group of menacing wolves will not be able to simply let him and the girl go! They have just survived the crisis of being hacked to death by the thieves, but Ma Shan has fallen into another crisis, and I am afraid that they will soon be eaten by the wild wolves, and they will die even worse!
More cold sweat broke out from Arthur's forehead. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't escape his own death!
But, wait, why? The wolves didn't immediately besiege Arthur, but circled around Arthur and the girl. More than thirty wild wolves surrounded the young girl and stared at the wolf, their eyes radiating a wild and greedy light, but strangely, with a hint of fear.
Why the hell? Arthur thought about it and instantly understood!
It's because of the lightsaber in his hand! The lightsaber in Arthur's hand, in this era, is actually quite a supernatural thing, and ordinary people don't understand the principle of this lightsaber at all, let alone a beast!
Probably because the wolves mistook Arthur's lightsaber for a torch!
The beasts were afraid of fire, and of course they were afraid of fire! They did not dare to attack because they were frightened by the "firelight" emitted by this lightsaber!
Thinking of this, Arthur immediately had a solution.
"Stick behind me, moving towards the tree. Arthur said as he shook the lightsaber in his hand.
"But, Mistress Michael—" The girl looked at the wound on Arthur's shoulder.
That's right, Arthur thinks that the wolves can't climb trees, as long as the situation is stabilized, and when she gets close to the thirty-foot tree next to her, the girl can climb the tree to dodge, and she will be safe. However, the girl had already guessed Arthur's plan, and she looked over Arthur's shoulder, precisely out of concern for this plan. Arthur, who had suffered a shoulder injury, could barely stand on his feet now, and his physical strength was still running out. Where does Arthur still have the strength to climb a tree? So this plan can only save the girl, but Arthur must stay under the tree and wait for death!
"Do it! there is no other way!" Arthur insisted, and began to slowly move his body towards the tree!
The girl obeyed and followed the boy. There were countless times during this period, and the wild wolves tried to pounce and attack the teenagers and girls. However, Arthur reacted quickly and was able to see in all directions, and swung his lightsaber to deter the wolves the moment they began to move!
"Climb up and leave me alone!" Arthur commanded without emotion.
"What about you, Mistress Michael?" asked the girl.
"Without you as a burden, I can think of a way to survive. Arthur said without emotion. Actually, it hurts to talk like this, but at this moment, this sentence is exactly what it should do. The girl obediently began to climb the tree. Maybe she really thinks that Arthur is a god or something, as long as there is no burden to her, no matter how dangerous the opponent is, there is no need to be afraid.
However, by the time the girl climbed to the trunk of the tree and was not completely out of danger, Arthur was already a little delirious. Blood loss was a very serious problem for him, and he felt that his whole body was cold, so cold that he could barely hold the lightsaber in his hand. If it weren't for Arthur's astonishing concentration and willpower, he would have fallen by now.
What am I doing? Arthur couldn't help but ask himself. Everything he did today was stupid to death, why did he protect a girl who had nothing to do with him? He still had his own mission to do, he had to find his wife Greenway in this other world nine hundred years later.
Fortunately now, it looks like he must die in this place where he is nothing, and he can't save Greenway, even Bediwell.
What am I doing?
Arthur's eyes darkened.
And the wild wolves had already tightly surrounded the big tree, squeezing the surroundings to the brim. This is a complete place of death, and even if Arthur is not injured and has plenty of strength, it is absolutely impossible for him to escape alive from such a dense encirclement - not to mention that he now does not even have the strength to swing his sword and cut people!
Are you going to die here?" Arthur sighed. His eyelids were like lead, drooping to the point where they almost fit into his eyelids, so that his vision had become a line, a blurred line, and he could only faintly see what was very close in front of him. In a few seconds, even the only landscape in front of him will close forever, Arthur thought to himself.
However, before the stitches were closed, Arthur could vaguely see a large wolf approaching him. It was the leader of the pack, the majestic silver wolf that was almost as tall as a man.
Arthur thought of something inconsequential. It is said that the leader of the wolf pack has the right of first refusal to eat the delicacies. So, this big silver wolf came here to eat Arthur. It is estimated that it is about to be aimed at the young man's neck, and it bites down fiercely.
However, Arthur did not wait for the moment when he was bitten to death by the other party, he lost too much blood and had already lost consciousness.
Dark.
More darkness.
Boundless darkness.
However, this is not nothing.
If a person dies and loses consciousness, detached from the body, and even his consciousness will be reduced to nothing, then what Arthur experienced is probably not death. What he experienced was more like a kind of prostration. That sense of hopelessness that life is burning out little by little, coming to an end but not completely coming to an end.
Yet he could feel someone approaching, applying something cold to the wound in his shoulder, and at the same time sending some kind of sweet honey-smelling juice into his mouth.
Someone was treating him.
One night passed, and the next morning, Arthur opened his eyes slightly, and found himself in a haystack, which in turn was in some kind of cave. The surroundings are filled with the smell of beasts, mysterious and dangerous. It was supposed to be some kind of beast's lair, and lying in it was by no means comfortable, but Arthur was at least alive for now.
There was a burning pain in his shoulder, and the wound was swollen. However, Arthur saw that some kind of herb was applied to the wound, and the herb was bitten into a green mud-like object, which was half-dry and half-wet and stuck to the wound, but it had a certain degree of anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect. Thanks to this herb, Arthur's wounds did not become infected and suppurated - in this uncivilized world, infected wounds often lead to direct death, and even if Arthur survived, he would probably have to undergo amputation!
The hunger in Arthur's womb since last night had been alleviated, and it was clear that someone had fed the boy while he was unconscious. Who, not only treated Arthur with herbs, but also took care of Arthur who was in a coma to eat.
It's a mystery.
The boy struggled to get up from the haystack, his head still dizzy. He only remembered that he had sent the girl up the tree last night in order to save the girl, and had been staying under the tree until the girl's safety was guaranteed. The wolves had clearly surrounded Arthur, and the leader of the wolves had already approached the dying Arthur, ready to bite Arthur's throat. But why? Why is Arthur still alive, alive from the mouths of that ferocious beast, and still being cared for?
Could it be that someone stopped the wolves and saved Arthur in the most dangerous moments? His conjecture seemed to be correct, but it seemed to be a little different from the original guess.
If [someone] had saved Arthur, then Arthur would have been lying on a bed in a room with bandages on his shoulders, and he would probably have had some enthusiastic Frenchman's face to say good morning to him when he woke up. But what the hell is going on now?--he was lying in the den, with a tidal mass of herbal ointment sticking to his shoulders, and there was no figure to be seen around him.
Had he been rescued by some kind of barbarian? Regardless of the civilization of the world, Arthur was now in the interior of France, in a densely populated area! Isn't it strange that there are barbarians in France?
The more Arthur thought about it, the more confused he became, and the more he thought about it, the more dizzy he became. At this moment, a creature suddenly appeared at the mouth of the cave.
