Chapter 17: Strange Footprints (Part 1)
in tents.
Wang Shaoyi was asleep, suddenly felt a chill hit his heart, he opened his eyes suddenly, and then straightened up his upper body, raised his eyes to see that the bonfire outside the tent was still lit, raised his hand and looked at the watch in his hand, the hour hand pointed to 12 o'clock, just when it was time to change shifts, put on his clothes and walked out of the tent.
As soon as he stepped out of the tent, a bitter chill seeped into the cracks of his clothes, and he shivered violently from the cold, exhaled and reached out to rub the back of his hand, and then tightened the collar.
After feeling warmer, he raised his eyes and saw Mr. Liao lying on his stomach by the campfire, his head resting on his knees, and it seemed that he was asleep. He looked around vigilantly, but he didn't feel anything unusual, he rubbed his head, thinking that maybe he was having a nightmare, and then walked to Mr. Liao's side in three or two steps.
"Mr. Liao, it's time for you to sleep." Wang Shaoyi walked over and woke up Mr. Liao.
"Ahh It's time..."Mr. Liao said in a daze, looked up and saw that it was Wang Shaoyi, and climbed into the tent to sleep with an "oh".
Not long after Mr. Liao entered, there was a shocking snoring sound in the tent.
Wang Shaoyi shook his head helplessly, but the feeling of uneasiness in his heart did not dissipate, but the white snow around the fire did not move, could it be the feeling he got last night?
Thinking of this, he took out the Iron Birch Sword from his bag, and then took away the wrapped cloth, revealing the Iron Birch Sword that exuded a sense of warmth. After looking at it for a while, his eyes were involuntarily attracted by the glass beads on the hilt of the sword.
Under the dim firelight, the glass beads looked more and more bewitching, as if they were alive, reflecting a strange light.
He stared at it for a moment, and then shouted, instigated by the curiosity in your heart, "Donghao come out." ”
After he finished shouting, he looked around, but after waiting for a long time, no ghosts came out. picked up the iron birch sword and leaned against the bonfire, but there was no change on the glass beads, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart: Was that an illusion last night? Is this being pitted?
Suddenly, a voice suddenly sounded from the void: "Master, I have come out, but the last time it was too much for me." I can't conjure up now. ”
Hearing the sound in the void, Wang Shaoyi felt a burst of joy in his heart, and was about to speak, when suddenly a voice sounded from the void in a hurry: "Master, I feel the danger, there is something near here." ”
Wang Shaoyi was shocked when he heard this, the feeling before was really right! Quirky nearby! He jerked out a torch from the campfire team, then stood up, and walked out vigilantly with the Iron Birch Sword in hand.
The light of the torches illuminates the surrounding snow. There's nothing special about the white expanse.
After a dozen more steps, his eyes were drawn to something in the snow, and he brought the torch to that side, and the thing was exposed to his eyes.
It was a pair of footprints, and it was prepared that it should be a pair of foot paw prints, four of which were embedded in the snow four or five centimeters deep, and there were no snow marks on them. It's fresh, it should have just been stepped on.
He frowned. The feeling of danger came over him like a flood, and his body tensed suddenly.
I stood there and waited for a while, and there was silence all around, and nothing changed.
Could it be a wolf? He pressed the torches forward a little more, but there were no other claws on the side of the paws, just a lonely pair. It's like something flying out of thin air, stepping on it and disappearing from the spot.
After looking at it for a while, he didn't find any clues, Wang Shaoyi opened his mouth and said, "Donghao, do you have any special feelings?" ”
After a while, another voice came from the void. But it sounded even weaker than it had just been: "Master, that thing should have left." ”
"Left?" Wang Shaoyi's tense body relaxed.
Donghao's voice continued to come: "Master, I'm going to enter the glass bead, if the master needs to perceive the changes around him in the future, he can directly use his consciousness to control it, you don't have to call me, every time I come out, my soul will be weakened by a point." It takes a long time to recover, and this time the loss is too great, and I don't know how long it will take to recover. ”
"Well, you go back." Wang Shaoyi urged when he heard this.
As soon as the words fell, the surroundings fell silent, and "Donghao" should have returned to the glass beads.
Looking around again, Wang Shaoyi picked up the torch and walked back to the bonfire, trying to perceive it again, this time it was really smaller than the previous perception range, and it was not as clear as before.
But he didn't know what the purpose of the thing was when it was gone, and he shook his head again when he thought about it, and continued to light the bonfire, and the soldiers came to cover the water and the earth, and it was useless to think too much.
The second half of the night is really difficult, not only the temperature is low, but also the sleepiness invades from time to time, this half of the night stays up, the upper eyelids and the lower eyelids fight.
Time passed, and before I knew it, when the first rays of light in the sky reflected the snow, the wind in the snow had basically stopped.
Mr. Liao was pierced by the light and opened his eyes, closed them for a while, and then opened his eyes, got dressed and walked out of the tent, and as soon as he came out, he saw Wang Shaoyi standing a few meters away in a daze.
He didn't know what was going on, so he opened his throat and shouted, "Shaoyi, what are you doing?" ”
Wang Shaoyi stared at the open space in front of him, the footprints last night had been covered with snow again, and he couldn't see it anymore, hearing Mr. Liao's shout, he turned around and walked back.
As soon as he walked back, Mr. Liao asked, "What are you looking at this early morning?" ”
"Nothing." Wang Shaoyi shook his head, he didn't know the situation yet, and the more he talked about it, the more troublesome it became, so he pointed to the tent and said, "Put the tent away first." ”
Mr. Liao nodded, and the two of them packed up their things again after a while, and the unburned and remaining pine trunks continued to be tied up and taken away by them with ropes.
The next day, they went on the same itinerary as before for another day, and at night they found a leeward place and set up a tent again.
In the second half of the night, Wang Shaoyi didn't summon "Donghao" again, but the same thing was that he still found the strange footprints, as if he had been following them, which made him feel very uneasy.
Early the next morning, Wang Shaoyi hesitated for a while, but still told Mr. Liao about the situation, after all, he was more familiar with the snow mountain.
After listening to this, Mr. Liao's face became much worse, and he packed up his things and urged Wang Shaoyi to leave quickly.
This path was much faster than before, and after a few hours, they were already able to see Panlong Peak not far away.
It is a very special mountain, the peak has been going up, to the top when it suddenly divided into two, the angle is not big, but the direction of the opening is facing the sky, and then look at the mountain, I don't know if it is naturally formed, a circle of snow like a ladder, it looks really like the dragon scales, the name of Panlong Peak is true.
Looking at the destination that was more than ten miles away, Mr. Liao and Wang Shaoyi glanced at each other, and a knowing smile finally appeared on their faces, damn Panlong Peak, it has finally arrived.
was smiling, and suddenly Mr. Liao's smile froze suddenly, his eyes widened and he looked behind Wang Shaoyi, and began to stammer: "Sure enough, it's it, sure enough..."
Wang Shaoyi was smiling happily, seeing Mr. Liao's suddenly changing expression and the direction of his gaze, he also knew that there was a situation behind him, he took out the Tie Birch sword and turned around violently, but found that there was nothing behind him, and when he was strange, he suddenly heard Mr. Liao shouting; "Shaoyi, run, that thing can't be beaten."
After Mr. Liao finished shouting, seeing that Wang Shaoyi didn't move, he couldn't care about anything, so he pulled Wang Shaoyi's arm and dragged it back.
Wang Shaoyi also felt a strong sense of danger, and turned around and was about to go back, but at this moment, a strong force suddenly attacked, and he felt that his body was light, and the whole person flew out. (To be continued......)
