Chapter 55: On the Road to Treasure Hunting

Early the next morning, after the ambition and others were assembled, they set off on horseback. Seeing that Ambition led four guards, Greedy complained a little unhappily: "Ambition, didn't you say that you would bring a team of guards with you?" How can there only be four? ”

"Shhh Ambition argued.

"Makes sense, or is it thoughtful." Greedily tacitly smiled.

In this way, everyone stepped on horseback, and only listened to the order of ambition, and everyone immediately rode their horses towards the gold rush mountain.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Ambition In order to get the treasure on the treasure map, they did not hesitate to take risks to explore, which is knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and they prefer to go to the tiger mountain.

After a day's journey, they climbed over a large mountain. When the sky darkened, they found a nearby place to stop and rest. They worked together, some fed the horses, some collected firewood, some made a fire, and when everything was ready, everyone gathered around the fire to chat, and talked about the treasure hunt, everyone was happy to have a large amount of gold and silver treasures immediately, and each took out the dry food they carried and put it on the fire to roast and eat, and after eating and drinking, everyone was also sleepy.

For the sake of safety, Ambition takes turns on duty so as not to be eaten by wild beasts. However, I didn't expect that night to be surprisingly calm, there was no trace of wild beasts at all, and I couldn't hear the howls of lions, leopards, tigers and wolves, maybe because this place was not far from Lingxin Village! And they haven't really entered the deep mountains and old forests yet.

The next morning, when everyone had had eaten, Ambition ordered the group to continue on their way, and in order to reach their destination earlier, they had to walk a long way before they dared to stop and rest, and each time they could only rest for a short time, just to let the horses breathe, and then they had to set off again.

And a few of them can only wait until the evening when they can't catch up to stop and rest completely, so that at the end of the day, they have finally crossed a big mountain of ambition. At this time, seeing that it was getting dark again, everyone had to find an open place, and after taking care of everything like last night, they began to rest again. After a whole day of tossing and turning, they were all tired of ambition, and they all fell asleep when they each leaned under a big tree.

However, tonight is not as peaceful as last night, they have entered the circle of life where the wolves gather, and at this time, they can clearly hear the howl of the wolves not far away, so everyone has increased their vigilance and put all the weapons they carry with them in case something happens. And tonight it was the turn of greed and thief on duty, both of them were too sleepy because of the day's journey, plus they were already sleepy and extravagant, and before they knew it, they both fell asleep, and the burning fire was gradually extinguished because there was no subsequent firewood.

At this time, the wolves took the opportunity to quietly approach them. The ghostly eyes of the wolves flickered in the darkness, like ghostly fires burning in the darkness, flickering towards them, and the surrounding environment suddenly fell into boundless fear. One of the wild wolves took the opportunity to come up to Greed, and sniffed at him, stretched out his tongue and licked and licked, and Greed slept soundly, and in a daze, he thought that the thief was playing tricks on him, and without opening his eyes to see clearly, he pushed it away indiscriminately. Enraged by this humiliation, the wolf howled and attacked them.

Ambition They were awakened by this sudden attack, and their bodies trembled. Ambition and ruthlessness drew their swords and prepared to fight the wolves to the death. Suddenly, the valley reverberated with the howls of wolves and the screams of the guards, one of whom became a ghost under the wolf's fangs, and the ambition slashed with their swords, and the wolves did not dare to approach rashly, but waited for an opportunity to attack him not far away.

At this time, Ambition slowly calmed down, and he knew that it would not help to swing his sword like this, and once he ran out of strength, the wolves would attack him, and then he would die even worse. What to do? He had an idea and said, "Yes, aren't wolves afraid of fire?" As long as we light a fire and then counterattack it with the help of torches, we will definitely be able to defeat them. ”

When he heard this, he realized the idea of ambition, so he responded: "Thief heart, you should hurry up and add some dry wood to the fire. Ambition, I'll go and bring the wine now, and you cover me by the fire, so that we can make a fire with wine. ”

"Okay." Ambition also realized the meaning of ruthlessness, and after speaking, I saw them act together.

The thief quickly put the dry wood on the fire, and the ambition sprinkled the fire with spirits, and the flames in the fire began to burn violently when they encountered the alcohol, and suddenly illuminated the surrounding environment through and bright. When the wolves saw that the fire was burning again, they all raised their heads to the sky and howled sadly.

Greedy was overjoyed to see this, but he still thought that the fire was not burning violently enough, so he immediately poured the liquid from the vat next to him on the flame pile, but the flame suddenly cooled down. Seeing this, he scolded angrily: "Greedy, you stupid pig, that vat is filled with water instead of wine, don't you have nothing to smoke." ”

The thief also made up the knife and said: "You idiot, you are really not enough to achieve, and you are more than defeated." ”

At this time, the wolves also took the opportunity to attack, and the ambition and ruthlessness had to deal with the wolves. At this time, Ruthless complained again and scolded: "Greedy, can you hurry up, or just throw you to feed the wolves." ”

When he heard this, he was so angry that he threw the flint into the fire, and shouted, "Ruthless, you have tried to show me so much!" As soon as the words fell, I heard a muffled "bang" in the fire, and then a fire ignited, which frightened the greedy himself. Suddenly the fire shone brightly, and the forest was red everywhere, and the wolves all howled when they saw this, but they refused to leave, but put on a final battle to the death.

Ambition observed the surroundings with the help of the firelight, and then passed the torches from the fire one by one to the hands of the ruthless ones, and ordered, "We must now make a concerted effort to attack the wolves with torches in order to drive them away." ”

The men were ordered, and they took the torches and formed a circle again,

Seeing this, the wolves showed weakness, and carried out a new round of attack under the leadership of the she-wolf, and frantically culled and killed. Seeing this, they brandished torches to resist, burning the attacking wolves to the point of curling hair and howling, and the tense air was filled with the smell of burnt feathers.

At this time, ambition dodged the leading she-wolf who came towards him, and took the opportunity to raise the sword in his hand, and stabbed a sword on the hind legs of the leading she-wolf.

After this night of tossing, everyone was now sleepy, and soon, the sky was slightly brighter. I didn't sleep well all night, everyone looked tired and embarrassed, and it was difficult to keep their eyes open. After eating the dry food to replenish his strength, Ambition had to order the group to continue on their way, in order to leave this dangerous place of right and wrong as soon as possible, so as not to be infested by wolves again.

After a long day's journey, they finally came to the opposite side of a majestic mountain, on which a huge rock was prominently engraved with three large characters: Gold Rush Mountain. Ambition looked at the treasure map and said happily: "It's great, we have reached our destination, the legendary treasure is hidden in the gold rush mountain on the other side, as long as we cross this river, we can get the treasure." ”

This remark of ambition greatly invigorated the ruthless spirits and immediately boosted their morale. I only heard them shouting happily, "It's so good that we have finally arrived." ”

However, the "barricade river" in front of them stubbornly blocked their way. Ambition commanded: "I know you are all tired now, but we cannot rest yet, we must work together to overcome the difficulties before us, and first build the wooden boat to cross the river, so that we can cross the river early tomorrow morning." If you work hard, you can have a good rest at night. ”

"Okay. Obey the arrangement. Ruthless was the first to reply.

When the greedy and thief heard this, they had no choice but to reluctantly reply: "Obey the arrangement." ”

In this way, under the division of labor of ambition, everyone performed their duties, and various tasks such as logging, shipbuilding, and cooking were rolled out at the same time. In the evening, the wooden boat was finally built with the cooperation of everyone, and the fragrant meal was baked.

After a hearty meal, Ambition commanded, "Rest early, so that you can cross the river early tomorrow morning and get the treasure as soon as possible." ”

"Yes." Everyone replied in unison, but by this time, they were already exhausted, and they all leaned under a big tree, their eyes slightly closed, and then they all fell asleep beautifully.
