Xia Ye, who didn't drill out of the fire one night, was stimulated by the wolf's footsteps, and her hand unconsciously sped up a lot, and finally within a distance of less than five meters from her, the wood in her hand was rubbed with sparks, igniting a pile of dry leaves on the ground, and the flames slammed up, making Xia Ye feel like she was in a sea of fire for a while.

Wolves are indeed afraid of fire. This wolf probably had never seen fire in his life on Shu Mountain, and he was so frightened that he ran out a long way away, and Xia Ye temporarily relieved the crisis, so he wiped his sweat and sat down weakly.

The dry leaves on the side quickly burned away, and she had no choice but to venture out of the ring of fire and go around to pick up some branches and burn them.

At the same time, in order to prevent the wolf from attacking again, she used her green sword to cut down a lot of spare wooden branches, and at the same time lit many roots and planted them around, isolating herself from the outside world.

But she still didn't feel safe, and looked up at the big tree below, and she thought that it might be safer to hide in the tree.

So, with a leap of light power, he flew up.

Hiding in a tree really felt much safer. Xia Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and found a branch that could nest people to lie down, she kept her body relaxed and rested, but her ears were always alert.

After some time, she suddenly heard a slight footstep.

The footsteps don't sound like wolves. Wolves walk in the mountains and forests all year round and do not make any noise. Moreover, there was a lot of fire lit underneath, and the wolves did not dare to come.

So, in the middle of the night, who's coming?

Natsuha hid in the tree, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, just in case, she glanced up, lifted her breath and ran up again. The woods were really dense, and the hundred-foot-tall trees completely hid her body, and she was sure that even a group of ill-intentioned people below would not find her hiding place at this moment.

Sure enough, within a while, a group of men dressed in black and wrapped in black turbans appeared underneath.

Xia Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, he was calm, and roughly counted, there were about six people, looking at their burly figures, holding the big sabers used by the men of Xishu in their hands, Xia Ye almost didn't laugh. The national symbol is so obvious, what do you need to do with a headscarf?

Xia Ye knew very well that he had no enmity with anyone in the Xishu Kingdom, so this group of people must have come for Xilei, but looking at their appearance, they probably didn't know that Xilei had returned.

Sure enough, the group of people cautiously raised their knives close to the fire, cautiously looked around, and then approached the fire, looked left and right for a while, and one of them asked: "General Mengtuo, there is no one here." ”

General Montuo......? Whose subordinates? Xia Ye squinted and carefully went through the name in his mind a few times and remembered it. When the time comes, go down the mountain and ask Siray.

General Meng Tuo had much wider experience than the little soldier, and his performance was more calm, he suddenly remembered something, beckoned a small soldier to come over and asked: "Didn't you say today that when you prepared supplies for Xilei, you didn't bring a fire fold?" ”

"Ah yes, I didn't bring it...... the little soldier nodded subconsciously, and then his eyes widened suddenly: "But this, this ......"

What's going on?

There are a lot of torches lit here!

Where did this fire come from?

They directly removed the possibility that Xilei originally had a fire fold on his body, because the Xishu royal family is different from other places, they don't use fire folds for lighting, they all use night pearls.

Therefore, in the barren mountains and wilderness here, so many torches have been lit, and it has become very strange and dangerous.

General Meng Tuo directly grabbed the collar of the soldier and asked angrily: "Say!" Didn't Silei let you lie to us! Want to catch us all? ”

The little soldier was so frightened that he couldn't speak: "General Meng Tuo, wronged!" I didn't! I will swear allegiance to Prince Tukai for the rest of my life, and I will never betray you! ”

"Humph! Rather believe it! General Mengtuo's eyes narrowed slightly, shooting a cruel light, and the knife fell in his hand, and the little soldier's head was separated from his body, and he rolled on the ground a few times, rolling out of the circle of fire.

Natsuba couldn't bear to look straight at him. The soldier died very miserably, but he didn't deserve sympathy, after all, this was an ancient society, and it was necessary for his subordinates to be the center, but this thing didn't know why he betrayed his master Xilei and took refuge in Prince Tukai, so he would have today's end.

These thoughts flashed through him, and then Xia Ye began to think, it turned out that Prince Tukai wanted to kill Xilei. However, Prince Tukai did not come in person, but sent his capable men to encircle and suppress him. But alas, she had the foresight to let Siray go back first. Although he used soft tendons for Xilei before, it seems that these people have not encountered them, so Xilei should go back safely.

Then the question arises: now that Prince Tukai is not here, he is still in the grassland. Prince Tukai wanted to kill Silei, but Silei didn't know...... Xia Ye's eyes are slightly bright, will Xilei be in danger? Can he have a sense of self-preservation?

Ahh......h I just hope that you can live well, protect your mother well, let her old man live until I go back, and tell me a little about my mother's past...... Can't we be the enemy? But what's the matter?

Xia Ye hooked her lips and smiled faintly.

Then, she suddenly saw a cluster of green glow flickering not far away.

It's the wolf!

She immediately lifted her spirit, carefully grasped the green sword in her hand, and held her breath and did not dare to make a sound.

At the same time, she was also thinking about a question, should she tell the people below?

The five people led by General Meng Tuo were still looking around in the firelight. But because the fire was so close that it was dim all around, they didn't notice that the wolves were not far from them.

Well, don't actually put out the fire, as long as the fire can last until dawn and the wolves retreat, they will be fine.

But...... At this moment, Meng Tuo suddenly ordered: "This fire may be a trap set by Prince Xilei and that woman, deliberately luring us here." We can't let them succeed in their schemes, we have to put out the fire. ”

He nodded, and first got a torch down and stepped on it.

Then the four followed suit, and in a short time the fire was extinguished.

This bunch of idiots!

Xia Ye covered his face, wondering if he was going to jump out and remind the killer who was going to chase him to wake up, they might not see the sun tomorrow?

Forget it, it's still important to save your life......

She finally chose to cover her mouth and hide in the tree to prevent her from coming out.

General Meng Tuo quickly extinguished all the fires, and then pointed up the mountain very proudly: "This road is the closest to the top of the mountain, they must go up from here, and we will chase it!" ”
