Chapter 5: Wolves

When Bilier woke up, he found himself in an endless stretch of yellow sand, and on the surrounding sand, Xue An was still lying, and not far from Xue An, there was a corpse that had begun to stink.

Billier couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it, because the corpse was the three stunned people who had disappeared.

What's going on?

Could it be that the sand wolves killed him? But why didn't the sand wolves eat him?

No, what's really strange is, what is this place, and why are you still alive? Thinking of this, he hurriedly looked at Xue An next to him: "Brother Xue, Brother Xue, how are you?" The strange thing is that Xue An is not dead, suddenly, Xue An woke up, and the two of them were stunned at the dead body of the three stunned people.

Xue An was sad at the time, so he basically had no ability to think, but although the Bilier people were small, they were very courageous, and they took the lead in recovering and said: "We can't see the grassland from here, and we must have been taken to the depths of Tengger by wolves." ”

Xue An spoke at this time, and said in a hoarse voice: "Why did they get us to this place?" Borrowing the wisdom of the grassland, Bilier analyzed: "Wolves have the habit of storing prey, but it generally occurs in winter, and they hunt in large quantities at the junction of autumn and winter, and use the cold weather to store prey in order to survive the winter." ”

Xue An said: "But now is not spring. ”

Bilier also expressed his incomprehension, he helped Xue An and said, "Brother Xue, let's take advantage of the absence of the wolves and the fact that it's not dark, let's go back quickly." Xue An looked at the strong young man in front of him, probably feeling that he was an adult and should not be taken care of by a child like this, so he cheered up, and the two dragged the stunned corpse back. Children who grow up in the grassland desert have a set of ways to identify the way, and they never get lost in the desert.

But after a few steps, at the sand dunes in front of him, yellow sand wolves suddenly sprang out, forming an arc-shaped encirclement line at the end of the dunes.

Xue An and Bilier stopped, the two looked at each other, and immediately retreated, and in a hurry, the body of the stunned man also fell to the ground, but there was no way to get it up again. The two were unarmed, retreating step by step, but the wolves were pressing over step by step, and the leader was an old wolf with yellow and white fur, such wolves often had extremely high intelligence. Next to the old wolf was a sturdy, red-haired adult wolf, the same pioneer wolf that had attacked them last night.

At this moment, the vanguard wolf's eyes are normal pale yellow, and the strange green eyes of last night are completely invisible.

At this time, with the wolf howl of the head wolf, the surrounding wolves immediately accelerated, and Bilier and Xue An ran away. Fortunately, the distance before was relatively large, and the human body in that era was good and fast, so it was not caught up by the wolves for a while.

But no matter how fast people run, after all, they can't run away from wolves, and after a few clicks, the gap between the two sides is getting smaller and smaller, and they are about to be discovered.

Since the two of them were running to the height of the sand dunes, they simply closed their eyes and rolled straight down, and they rolled directly into the broken wall. The wolves chased them all the way, and the two of them went deep into the ruins in a hurry, and because of the shelter, they were much safer for a while.

Billier thought to himself, we are surrounded by so many wolves, it is impossible to get out on our own, the only way is to stall for time and wait for rescue. Billier had a tradition of falconry in the grassland, and he whistled at the eagle, and the eagle hovering in the sky rushed back to report the news.

The two climbed to the top along a high yellow wall, and the wolves were not good at climbing high, so they were safe for the time being. A pack of sand wolves stalked under the earthen walls, and from time to time let out a creepy howl. Xue An and Bilier leaned close together, and because of the narrow earthen wall, they didn't dare to move, fearing that they would fall.

Looking at the ruins of the ridge that emerged from the yellow sand around him, Xue An asked Bilier what kind of place this was, and if anyone had lived there before. Billier shook his head and said that he didn't know, this place is already a deep part of Tengger, and the herders basically don't run into the desert without anything, at most they are active at the junction of yellow sand and grassland, so there will be some signs of human activity here, and Billier also thinks it is very strange.

Xue An thought for a while and analyzed: "There is no water source or oasis around here, so it is not suitable for people to live at all, it is estimated that this should be the site of an ancient civilization, of course, I didn't think about it so much at the time, the two of them just tried to make themselves safer."

The wolves are very patient hunters, and they stand guard around the ruins, staring at the two people sitting on the high wall, not arrogant or impatient, and the pace is leisurely, as if they are watching two dishes that cannot run away, and this feeling is very bad.

Xue An and Bilier hid on it like this, until the night, the wolves couldn't bear it anymore and began to get agitated, and in fact, the water and rice were not exhausted for a day and a night, and Xue An's bodies became very tired, weak, and almost crumbling in the dark.

After holding out all night, the wolves finally gave up the next day, first scattered, and finally disappeared without a trace. Wolves are very intelligent animals, and they have many tactics when hunting, such as ambushes and lures. The Mongols knew about the wolves, and when they saw the wolves leaving, Bilier stopped Xue An, who was about to go down, and the two squatted on the wall and waited for more than two hours, and at this time, the wind gradually rose in the desert, blowing the yellow sand like smoke, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.

The two of them already had a dry tongue, no body to replenish energy, soft as boiled noodles, such a body, there was no way to walk back, and even at this moment, the two stood up and their legs were weak and trembling. There is no way to go, plus the wind and sand are too big, people can't open their eyes, and the people who blow are shaky, so helpless, the two had to find a corner of the leeward place to hide, waiting for 'Haizi' to bring people to the rescue.

Haizi is Xue An's name for the big eagle domesticated by Billier, the eagle is valued by Hai Dongqing, Hai Dongqing, that is, the Su Shen language "Xiongkulu", which means the highest and fastest bird in the world, with the meaning of "the god of ten thousand eagles", the legend says that one hundred thousand eagles only produce a "Hai Dongqing", Bilier attaches great importance to his big eagle, so he calls it Hai Dongqing, and Xue An calls it Haizi.

After all, Billier was not very old, and when he was safe, he shrank aside, his eyes closed, unconscious.

Xue An was worried that there would be danger, even if he was exhausted, he didn't dare to sleep, and kept pinching his eyelids to keep it open. The wind outside was blowing stronger and stronger, making a whirring sound in the dark, Xue An felt that he had already heard some tinnitus, and at this moment, another unique sound was suddenly mixed with the whirring wind.

Brush...... Brush...... Brush......

Xue An felt that something was wrong, and stood up with his body bold, squinting out in the dark. It was dark at the moment, and there was no source of lighting, and the only thing that could be borrowed was the hazy moonlight. In the moonlight, Xue An suddenly discovered that the originally huge sand dunes next to the ruins were rapidly uplifted and became taller at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a huge mountain in the dark. And this mountain, like a surging wave, is coming towards this sustenance site!

At that moment, Billier himself seemed to feel the threat brought by that force, so he woke up suddenly, and before he could see what was going on, the whole person was carried by Xue An on his shoulders and ran out, very fast.

It stands to reason that Xue An did not have such a body at that time, but perhaps this is the explosion of human potential at the moment of crisis, and Xue An at that moment ran faster than ever. And Bilier, who was still very weak and had just opened his eyes at that time, was in a kind of chaos for the qiē around him.

Immediately afterward, Bilier suddenly felt himself being thrown high, and after a long parabola in the air, he fell heavily to the sand. This fall was enough to choke, and the person fainted directly, and the last bit of consciousness before fainting was to see a huge black shadow, a black shadow composed of yellow sand.

When Billier woke up the next morning, the undulating sand dunes around him had completely disappeared after the previous night's strong winds, and the ruins that had been lying in the low ground had been covered with yellow sand.

Xue An is gone.

Billier recalled the previous night's situation and immediately realized that he had been vigorously thrown by Xue An as the dunes were slapping down on the ruins.

Looking at the desert in front of him, Bilier was extremely uncomfortable, his weak body made him unable to move, and he could only lie on the ground and weep. He thought that Xue An must have been buried in the yellow sand, and he might not live long. Even after thinking about it, Billier couldn't understand what happened last night.

Later, Xue An told him about the situation, but no one could explain why the sand dunes suddenly rose up at that time.

Of course, Xue An was not dead, and within a few hours, Bilier heard an eagle roar, it was his Hai Dongqing who came, and in the distance, he followed the people who came to the rescue. Under the search and rescue of everyone, Xue An was also found, but the bizarre thing was that he was far away from the place where the incident occurred, that is, the location of the ruins at that time.

Fortunately, there was no damage to people or property, so the matter was quickly revealed, but Billier always remembered that he was thrown high by the man when the huge black shadow of the dunes came over.
