Chapter Thirty-Nine: Monsters

The vulture feeds on meat, and it is also a very distinctive creature in Tibet, which is very rare in the mainland, as I said before, the Tibetans choose to use this vulture for sky burial, which also symbolizes the intention of returning to nature.

When I thought of this, I asked Dora, "You mean there must be a lot of corpses up there?" ”

Dora didn't say anything, but I could tell from her expression that it would definitely not be a good scene, and of course it was impossible for the Tibetans to bury so many people.

A few people sped over, and then everyone in the audience was startled by the sight in front of us: the corpses of wolves were scattered all over the ground, and there were minced meat, severed limbs, and internal organs everywhere, and groups of vultures were scrambling to nibble on the delicacies of the land.

'Click... Click... Click...'

As one of his brothers fired two shots into the sky, the vultures scattered in fright, and we didn't care if we were further away and continued to peck at a distance.

We covered our mouths and noses and walked inside, judging what it was that could make such a group of ferocious animals end up like this, and the deeper we went, the more disgusting I went, and my stomach tumbled and was about to vomit out, and at the same time, I ran to the open space next to me, but the fright in front of me forced the little thing in my stomach back.

A giant gray-white wolf as big as a cow was lying dying not far away, and I walked in to see it, isn't this our dire wolf who wants to kill it a long time ago?

At this time, the wolf was panting violently, I squatted down, and gently closed the eyelids of the dire wolf, I really couldn't stand the hint of begging and despair in its eyes, which made me look at a burst of pity and sorrow, but then I was suppressed by a strong sense of fear that came over my heart.

What is it that can have such destructive power?

Definitely not human, I can clearly see that this is not a gunshot wound or a knife wound, it is clearly the work of claws and teeth, and it is an extremely large giant animal.

At some point, Dora stood beside me, stared at the dire wolf and said to me, "Actually, from the perspective of the dire wolf, it's not wrong, it's just its survival instinct to attack us, but we forced it to death, what is it running away from?" ”

As soon as she finished asking, we heard Xiaoyu call us over in the distance, and then we saw four fingers and paw prints on the ground that looked the size of a truck tire, and the clearest one was the mark of it crawling in front of us.

Judging from this paw print, is it really a dragon?

Damn, no, I'm not going to believe in such a thing.

Dora seemed to see through my thoughts again: "It's not a dragon, it's definitely not, this thing is a palm." ”

I relaxed and asked, "Is it a huge duck?" ”

Xiaoyu glanced at me, then pointed to the ground and said, "This is obviously a four-legged animal, your duck has four legs." ”

I was unconvinced and said: "It's not okay to string genes, what if it's a prematurely deformed duck." ”

After I finished speaking, I saw Xiaoyu quickly run away from the area of dead bodies, found a relatively clear footprint, and squatted down to seriously gesture with his hands.

We didn't want to stay here any longer, so as we went out, I asked Dora, "When is this battle taking place, can you tell it?" ”

Dora affirmed, "Within twelve hours." ”

I was shocked and replied, "In other words, we are only a day's journey away from it now." ”

Dora shook her head: "I don't know how long it will take to catch up, at least my purpose is not this monster, but Fire Lotus Root, if I can avoid it and find its habitat, it would be best to find Fire Lotus Harvest." ”

I quickly nodded yes, I don't want to have any contact with this thing, and in our current situation, I don't think we have any chance of killing a monster that can easily wipe out hundreds of wolves.

At this time, Xiaoyu had already finished researching, and he was very troubled when he dragged his chin with one hand, so I asked him what was going on, and he said it was very strange, and all the signs of this kind indicated that it was a crocodile.

At the same time, we said, "Crocodile! ”

Dora said: "How can there be such a big crocodile, and why is it in such a place, this Hoh Xil is at a high altitude and the climate is not suitable for them to live, how did it come here?" What is the purpose? ”

Xiaoyu couldn't help but shake his head, obviously he couldn't figure it out either.

But as Sherlock Holmes often said, if all the impossible is overturned, the final result is also a fact.

But I don't know what's going on, when Xiaoyu confirmed that this thing was a crocodile in a very positive tone, except for me who was a little relaxed, I closed the door and let them show a face full of disappointment.

One of the brothers also scolded and said, "Damn."

, Lao Tzu spent so much effort, lost so many brothers, and they won't come here to kill a giant crocodile, it's not too worthwhile. ”

"Don't say too soon, how can you be sure this is what we're looking for." ”

When he said this, everyone's originally relaxed mood was raised again, don't say it, what he said is true, who can be sure that this big crocodile is the treasure that countless people rush to find here?

Before nightfall, we could no longer venture forward, and by dusk we had found a terrain surrounded by mountains on three sides and set up camp, at this time our numbers were only three mercenaries who closed the door and let them go, and I and Xiaoyu and Dora were three, plus a kidnapping horse who didn't even let go of a fart along the way, but had a straight face the whole time.

When it was my turn to keep vigil, I sighed gloomily, looking at the stars in the sky, I suddenly felt that the weather in the past two days was surprisingly good, was it the calm before the storm?

No, it seems that the temperature has risen a little, we have entered the no-man's land of Hoh Xil, and the sun is only a little sunburning, but there will be no temperature rise, in order to verify my guess, I immediately ran up a relatively high mountain nearby, and was shocked by the scenery in front of me.

Sure enough, something went wrong with the climate, and there was no snow on the top of the mountain.

Although we have been climbing mountains and mountains along the way, in order to reduce physical strength and landslides and other accidents, we would rather take more detours and fewer roads to deliberately avoid high mountains, and try to choose lower ridges to walk, of course, also to be able to see some strange-looking mountain shapes in order to judge the direction.

But at this time, looking ahead, although the fog lingers on the top of the high mountain, it is too abnormal if there is no snow, and the snow on the top of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is normal to say that it does not disperse all year round, thinking of this, I don't know when Dora appeared beside me, and whispered to me: "Have you also noticed this change?" ”

I glanced at her and nodded, "What do you feel is the reason?" ”

Dora grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground, sniffed it gently, and said, "This place is like my hometown!" ”

I asked, "You mean, it's cold in your hometown overall, but it's warm in parts!" ”

Dora smiled slightly, and instead of answering me directly, she said: "Jiang Jun, there are some troublesome things in my hometown now, if I can, I hope to get your help one day in the future." ”

I wondered why she said this suddenly, but I didn't ask, I know Dora's personality, she is not the kind of person who will easily open her mouth to ask for someone because of a little thing, and she will not be in a hurry, since she can open her mouth to me, she must have decided that this favor may only be able to help, so I just nodded and responded: "No problem, if you need it, I can show up at any time." ”

I expected Dora to say thank you, but when she turned serious, she made a silent gesture to me and looked into the distance.

By the dim starlight, there was a small team of no less than twenty people speeding about a hundred meters away, and each of them had a spear in his hand, and when I saw the situation, I suddenly fell down and whispered to Dora, "Is it the gang that fought with us?" ”

Dora shook her head and gestured to me to let me go down, I will, and the two of them gently went to the vicinity of the camp to wake everyone up and explain the situation.

As the vigilance of the soldiers, after listening to the situation, Guan Men Fang and the others directly pushed open the insurance in order to counterattack at any time, and said at the same time: "Our main long-range forces are these three rifles, I don't think that a direct sneak attack can deal with more than 20 people on the other side, but if you don't take the initiative to attack, it will inevitably let them take the lead, now everyone starts to suggest." ”

I think that the seven of us present are elites, but if you want to say that you want to take the initiative to attack more than 20 enemies armed with firearms, you can't say that the defeat rate is 100 percent, but you can see that the hope is extremely slim.

But before I could react, Dora had already stood up, tightened the quiver behind her back, and said in a deep voice: "We don't take the initiative to attack, but we can't let them take the lead, our purpose is the same, whether they know the existence of the big crocodile or not, but I think they can always meet, so that they can go to the firefight first, and we will sit behind the yellow finch and reap the profits." ”

I'm not an arrogant person, but I won't see a person who is more awesome in all aspects and will admire him, including Senior Brother Chai's world-shattering popularity, I just praise it at most, however, Dora's performance has made me ashamed again and again.

Several people had no objection to Dora's suggestion, so Dora and the two of them took the lead to do the first echelon and touched each other's movements.

But after walking for only two or three hours, the other party also began to set up camp, and it is no wonder that we rested at night for the sake of safety, and it was only seven or eight o'clock at that time, although there was a sense of fatigue, but there was definitely no sleepiness, and now it was more than ten o'clock for a gang of their level of armed power, and they could not worry about the danger brought by the sneak attack of others.

Seeing this, several people planned to discuss countermeasures again.

However, at this moment, the sky-high red light seemed to be a flame about to burn into the sky, and once again reflected this cold and silent night like the eighteen layers of hell.
