Chapter 30: The White-Eyed Wolf
The team that has been tortured several times, just sent away the very difficult old eagle, and now it is targeted by the cunning and ferocious wolf. At night, Smoke Man and Guide You decided to keep vigil together, and I knew that the two of them were worried that the wolves would come and sneak attack.
Although I was very worried, I still had to sleep, or the next day, I really didn't have the energy and body to continue to cope with the rapid rush.
In the middle of the night, I was woken up and sat up in a daze, thinking that I was going to change shifts and keep vigil.
As soon as I jumped out of the hammock, I was dragged behind a tree by the guide who shook me awake, and he motioned for me to be silent, and told me to quietly stick my head out and look out into the woods.
Puzzled, I stuck my head out from behind the tree, and saw a wolf and a man outside the woods engaged in a tense confrontation, so frightened that I almost screamed.
Under the moon confronting the wolf was the smoke man, he held the iron rod in both hands, and in the night light, he was dressed in black, and he faintly exuded wisps of white cold air, which made people look at it and couldn't help but be in awe. And standing opposite the smoke man is a white-eyed wolf, a pair of white hanging wolf eyes, glowing with a green cold light, and dragging half a white tail behind him, which shows its ferocity even more, making people can't help but turn their legs and stomachs, and they can't stand on their feet.
I have heard that wolves are known for their ferocious nature, and have always been used as a symbol of ferocity and cold-bloodedness, that is to say, they are inhuman. Among the wolves, especially the wolves with "hanging white eyes", they are the most cunning and ferocious.
Looking at the sturdy white-eyed wolf in front of him, with his vicious eyes and steely face, he couldn't help but say: It's over, we have encountered the most difficult enemy to deal with so far. At the same time, I have to admire the smoking man. He is only mentally tenacious to the extreme, facing such a powerful enemy. In order to be able to calmly face each other without changing color. If it were someone else, it would be difficult to be so calm. What's more, you may be scared to pee your pants.
The white-eyed wolf and the smoke man looked at each other for a long time, neither of them made any moves, I hid behind the tree and thought: they both seem to be waiting for the other party to make the first move, so that they can find a flaw and defeat the enemy with one move. The master has made a move, just one move can distinguish the winner from the loser, and if there is a slight mistake, he will die in Huangquan.
Just when I could see God. The white-eyed wolf suddenly moved, and it first turned its head to look at the big tree where You Gui and I were hiding, and the cold gaze that came from it threatened, as if it was about to shoot through my body, made my heart tremble. Immediately after, the white-eyed wolf immediately turned around quickly, and the smoke man also made a move at the same time, jumping up with an iron rod, and the white-eyed wolf jumped forward with all his might. Like a sharp arrow off the string, it disappeared into the moonlight without looking back.
The cigarette man walked back into the woods with an iron rod, and I walked out from behind the tree to see that the cigarette man's forehead was covered with cold sweat. I couldn't help but be shocked in my heart, and thought to myself: Smoke Man is so nervous in the face of white-eyed wolves, then we will face the whole wolf pack next. What should I do?
It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.
After the white-eyed wolf appeared in the middle of the night. The cigarette man told me that the wolves might be ready tomorrow night, so I was prepared.
I'll hear it. The head is big, and the heart says: What to prepare, Guide You has said, there is no other way but to escape.
But after thinking about it, escaping is not the way, how can we, two-legged humans, outrun a four-legged wolf in a strange jungle!
So I gritted my teeth and decided to face it head-on, since it was inevitable to die, it was better to fight to the death.
The three of us were now sleepy, and began to discuss ways to deal with the wolves, but finally we felt that the old method was the most effective, which was the method that hunters often used to catch their prey, and set all kinds of traps.
First, the team rested and retreated to a deeper and denser part of the woods. Then at night they all took refuge in the tall trees and set traps in the woods. The trap is undoubtedly the best tool for wolf hunting, but with the tools we have, we can set up simple tripwires and dirt traps at best.
After daybreak, I ordered my team to advance deep into the woods, and then began to work on the trap. The tripping rope is set up on the outer part of the woods, so that the wolves can stumble on their backs and get off the horse first. The pit trap is set around the large tree where everyone lives, so that the wolves cannot climb out of the trap after falling into the trap.
The stumbling rope was set up by Guide You, who took a few people and went to the outskirts of the woods, where the fat man and I were in charge of digging deep pit traps.
It is not difficult to dig a few traps for inverted craftsmen who often dig holes for thieves. After digging the deep pit, insert some sharpened branches upside down and then spread some branches and fallen leaves on top of the trap, and all the work is done.
In the midst of the busyness, night soon fell, and tonight the fierce battle was imminent, and everyone was full, and climbed up early to hide in the trees.
I'm not an expert climber, so I can't be as comfortable in the woods as I am in the water, but climbing trees is not too difficult for me. Everyone else is okay, Liu Shao, a short and fat man who can do light work, uses it to the fullest to climb trees, and can jump freely between trees easily, very easily. However, there are also people in the team who have a hard time climbing trees, that is, the locksmith Wang and Zha Ling'er, and I found that the speed of the monkey climbing the tree is not as good as mine, and he was out of breath before he climbed the tree, and then gave an answer to my question about his doubts: "Master Wen, I practice bone shrinking skills, and it is normal that I am not good at climbing trees." ”
The fat man laughed and teased the monkey and said: "Your name is monkey, and your figure is not much different from that of a monkey, you said that you can't climb a tree, and you are not ashamed!" ”
The monkey was so tired that he stuck out his tongue, and I said to him very worriedly, "If the wolves come, you must hide it, because if you accidentally fall down the tree, you will die." ”
The monkey nodded, and rested on the trunk of the tree to drink.
I saw Zha Qiye, who was carrying Zha Ling'er on his shoulders and letting her climb up. As a result, Zha Ling'er was so anxious that she kicked her legs, but she couldn't climb the tree on her own, and I felt that climbing the tree was really a little difficult for the eldest lady of the Zha family, so I immediately jumped off the tree, took Zha Ling'er to the fat man's tree, raised her head and shouted to the top: "Fatty, tie the rope to the tree and hang down, pull Ling'er up, you protect him." ”
When Zha Ling'er heard this, she immediately pouted and said, "I'm going to hide in a tree with Brother Sven." ”
I handed the rope hanging down to Zha Ling'er and said to her: "Your fat brother is better at climbing trees, and I am more relieved that he will protect you." After saying that, I held Zha Ling'er's waist and lifted her up.
Zha Ling'er was very reluctant to pull the rope, and was pulled to the tree by the fat man little by little, and then I heard that they were arguing on the tree, and I had to frown and scold them not to quarrel, and they all recruited the wolf for a while.
As soon as I said this, the night owl who hid in the tree and watched the wind shouted "Coming", and then I heard a terrible wolf howl, which startled my heart and I hurriedly climbed to the tree, and beckoned everyone to hide quickly.
I thought the wolves would take advantage of the darkness and wait until it was dark in the middle of the night before they attacked. Unexpectedly, it was just a day before the wolves came.
And to my surprise, the wolves had somehow managed to get through the first line of defense set up by Guide Yu, and they had all come to the front of the trap.
The white-eyed wolf at the head stopped in front of the trap, followed by seven or eight fierce gray wolves.
The white-eyed wolf stood in front of the trap and suddenly looked up at the tree where everyone was hiding. I was shocked and said, "Oops." This white-eyed and severe-tailed wolf is so clever and cunning that he has already discovered our hiding place early. But we are all hiding in the tree, and no matter how capable it is, there is no way to climb the tree. And the traps full of sharp blades in front of them are enough to make them drink a pot.
My joy and confidence were destroyed in the blink of an eye by the white-fanged wolf.
The white-eyed wolf standing in front of the trap suddenly stretched out its wolf claws, and I immediately silently said in my heart, "Step on, step on." ”
As a result, the white-eyed wolf raised its front paws high and tapped the top of the trap, and the trap hidden under the fallen leaves collapsed with a bang. Then the white-eyed wolf raised his head, and as if to show off, he pointed at the top of the tree where I was, and pulled the corners of his mouth contemptuously, and then walked over to another trap, and destroyed it again according to the law. Then the traps were destroyed one by one.
The white-eyed wolf then led the wolves and jumped over the exposed pit on the ground and came to the tree where everyone was hiding.
All the wolves stretched out their limbs, arched their backs, bared their teeth and grinned, and outflanked the trees where everyone was hiding.
I hid in the tree, and when I saw the shocking scene that had just happened, I felt that the wisdom and ferocity of this wolf pack led by the white-eyed wolf had reached the point of horror. And the next action of the wolves made me even more frightened to the point that the soles of my feet were cold, and my eyes were straight.
The wolves crossed the traps, and most of them gathered under the tree where Liu Shao was, and began to dig the soil under the tree with their claws, and the wolves soon dug the soil under the trees into a deep pit.
The tree where the sixth young man was not tall, and after the soil at the root of the tree was cut away, the tree immediately shook, and my heart immediately tugged. Fortunately, Liushao knew how to do light exercises, so he jumped lightly on the treetops and jumped to another tree next to him.
When the wolves saw that their prey had escaped, they changed the target of their capture and came to the tree where the fat man and Zha Ling'er were. However, the wolves gathered under the tree no longer digging the soil, but first one wolf lay under the tree, the other wolf stepped on its back, and then grabbed the tree with its front paws. Then the wolves folded up one by one into arhats, and they were about to climb in front of the fat man and Zha Ling'er! (To be continued......)
