Chapter 36: The Wolf Hunt
Although passerby A didn't say much, he was obviously very deterrent, Mao Degui wanted to say something more, but in the end he only muttered a few words and rested wrapped in a sleeping bag.
The night was enough to choke, Xiaohua took a sleeping bag for me, and I didn't have time to think about anything else, so I slept as soon as I got in.
When I woke up the next day, the sky was bright, and my eyes were full of white flowers, and the ice picks reflected the sun's rays, and everywhere was bright. I rubbed my eyes and felt a little headache, probably because I was too tired from the night. When I rubbed my eyes, the chilblains on my fingers were rubbed, and I twitched and twitched, and my brain, which was still a little chaotic, suddenly hurt a spirit.
I glanced at my hands, and my heart skipped a beat, although I had seen others grow before, but they were also east and west, but my whole hands were long, dark red, and swollen in a circle.
I was shocked, it's only been one night, how did it grow so much?
The fingers moved a few times, and the slight friction hurt terribly. Xiaohua and the others were sorting out their equipment, and they didn't plan to stay here for long, so I hastily wrapped my hands in gauze a few times, and then picked up a piece of equipment that Xiaohua had divided, which was mostly filled with food and no offensive weapons.
Where we are now, the entrance is an hourglass-shaped passage, still in a canyon, looking up, you can see the ice walls rising on both sides, and the upper part is covered with snow, the sky is obscured, revealing only a clear blue sky.
We don't know where the exit from this canyon is, but based on the bearing, our path was not disrupted, so we decided to follow this canyon.
Then there was nothing to say all the way, our group of people walked in the canyon with their heads bored, and when they stepped on it, they fell deep into the snow, the wind and snow were already small, and the ears were full of the click of stepping on the snow, and the road ahead was a vast fog, and everyone's mood seemed to be frozen by the snow.
And at this moment, Xiuxiu suddenly stopped and screamed. The short cry was quickly suppressed by her, but the voice pulled our stiff minds back, I turned my head and found Xiuxiu standing stiffly in place, her face a little ugly, I asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiuxiu's dark eyes turned to me, and then, she stretched out her hand and pointed to her feet, and said, "It seems to ...... Something grabbed my feet. Before we could reflect it, one of Mao Degui's subordinates suddenly changed his face and said, "Boss...... I seem to have been caught, too. ”
I subconsciously felt like pulling my legs, but as soon as I moved, my calf touched something stiff.
A group of us stood in place, looking at each other, and then, passerby A formed a claw with one hand, and his hand with Ugin gloves turned around the snow around his feet, and then stopped in front of his calf, and then saw that the hand was thrust into the snow, and when he came out, he brought out something in his hand, and pulled the snow around him out of the snow foam.
When I looked at that thing, I was shocked,, this is an old acquaintance.
I saw passer-by A holding a fluffy thing in his hand, and around that thing, there were also dark green tentacles, and the end of the tentacles was a baby-like little claw, as thin as a dried corpse.
Furball brothers? I want to cry without tears, let's meet again, can you not like me so much?
Then what is under my feet is now...... Thinking of this, I hurriedly pulled out my leg, and as soon as I pulled it out, I brought out a dry claw, and the sharp finger claw hooked my trouser leg, and the trouser leg was hung out of several holes.
Only then did I realize that the furball brothers had long since died, their bodies had become dry and flat, and they were covered in ice slag, and it was clear that they had been frozen here for quite some time.
Passerby A glanced at the thing in his hand, then looked up, and we looked in his direction, and froze for a while.
On the cliff above, there is a dense pack of wolves, standing on the top of the mountain, looking down on us in the canyon, I don't know how long I have been watching. For a moment, I had the illusion that the wolves had already settled down and drove us into their trap.
Lao Mao scolded his mother and said, "What's the matter? When did these things appear? ”
I looked at the wolves above, but I didn't see the wolf king, only the white-haired wolves standing on the edge of the mountain wall, like guards. The strange feeling in my heart became stronger and stronger, and at this time, my eyes suddenly looked at the furball brother buried in the snow, and suddenly my head was agitated, and I shouted, "No, let's run." ”
Xiaohua was stunned and said, "Wu Xie, what's wrong?" ”
If I'm right, it's probably a hunting ground for wolves who drive their prey into this canyon and somehow kill it, store it here, and the furball brothers are their food rations. I haven't thought of the specific method, but I've dealt with the hairball brothers, this thing has several tentacles, and its actions are extremely agile, and it is easy to kill, even if it really encounters any crisis situation, with the unique body structure of the hairball brothers, they can also climb the ice wall to escape.
So, what's going on? So that they can't escape, and they all die here?
I can't imagine what method these wolves used, but it must have been unexpected.
I didn't care about explaining to Xiaohua and the others at the moment, so I screamed, and I took the lead in running, but the snow here was too thick, and there were countless hairball brothers buried under the snow, and after running a few steps, I was tripped by the corpse below.
At this time, passerby A also seemed to understand something, and immediately gestured to everyone, saying, "Go first." His words were obviously more effective than mine, Mao Degui and the others immediately ran up, and our group ran forward without a life, I subconsciously looked up, and at a glance I saw the wolf king hidden in the wolf pack, and the scarlet trace on his forehead seemed to be more and more vivid.
At this moment, the wolf king suddenly took the lead and let out a wolf howl, followed by the surrounding wolves also howled, and their howls were very strange, when the wolf howled. It must be looking up and looking up at the sky with the tip of the nose, which has something to do with their vocal system, which can make a long wolf howl. And these wolves, they were with their heads down, and they were howling in the canyon, the kind of howl that lowered their necks, like the sound of bones rubbing, low and dark.
This kind of cry, one howl, can still be ignored, but thousands of wolves howl towards the canyon at the same time, and that kind of sound is like a mountain and a sea. The sound shuttled back and forth between the ice walls, constantly echoing and amplifying, and at the end, my ears roared, as if there was only this strange wolf howl left between heaven and earth, and after listening to it for a little longer, it seemed that the ice walls were trembling by this sound.
I thought it was just my own hallucination, but in the end, I realized that the ice walls were really shivering.
The sound was still trembling, but the wolves suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, the snow that had accumulated above the ice wall smashed into the canyon as if disturbed, and the snow-capped mountains higher up were also affected by this strange sound, and a white line could be faintly seen rolling quickly like where we were, as if it would fall on our heads in the next moment.
Damn, it turned out to be a snow jump.
At this moment, I finally understood why the hairball brothers died here, no matter how fast they were, they couldn't be faster than the speed of snow jumping. These wolves are really good, and they actually know how to use sound to induce avalanches to hunt.
In the blink of an eye, the rolling snow line had reached the top of our heads, and no one had time to react, and this overwhelming pressure overwhelmed everyone in just an instant, and I only felt that there was a thousand pounds of force pressing down on my head, and then, with a sharp pain in my brain, I didn't know anything.
The moment I closed my eyes, I was only unwilling in my heart, I first thought of the third uncle and the fat man, then thought of the stuffy oil bottle, and then thought of my parents, I haven't been home for a year.
But whether it's the ten-year appointment of the stuffy oil bottle or the wish to see my parents, I'm afraid I can't fulfill it.
I don't know how long it took in the dark, maybe it was a long time, maybe it was only a moment, I felt something digging at me, and the first thing I felt was a pair of cold human hands, which pulled me out, and then I was carried by a man.
Who is it? Florets? Passerby A?
Aren't they also buried in the snow? So who dug me up? I couldn't open my eyes, the whole person was obviously conscious, but the consciousness seemed to be stripped out of the body, I could only think quietly about everything, but I couldn't make any judgment, I was carried by that person, it seemed that I had been walking for a long time, the weather was very cold, I felt the frostbite on my hands like a fire.
I don't know how long it took me to open my eyes, and the first thing I saw was a mountain wall, and then I saw a grimace.
With a pale, flabby face and green eyes staring straight at me, I was stunned that it was the German.
He looked at me, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was hoarse, and he actually spoke in Chinese, although some pronunciations were strange: "What about Xingle (are you awake)?" Instead of answering him, I turned my gaze away, and I found myself in a dry cave, outside which was blowing with a white-haired wind, and in the cave it was just me and the Germans.
I asked, "What about the others?" "A bad premonition filled my mind, such an avalanche, they were probably all buried alive.
I hoped that the Germans would give other answers, but he was honest and said: "They ...... My sister wow out (I didn't dig it out). "My heart was cold all of a sudden, and my whole body was stiff, and I didn't know what to do.
I never thought that Xiaohua would die, even if passers-by A and Xiuxiu hung up, Xiaohua would definitely be fine, he was Xie Jiuye, the head of the Xie family, when I was still secretly in school with a girl, he had already followed the old man in the family to fight, whether it was his mind or heart, he was stronger than me, but now ......
