Chapter 20 The Horse's Feet Are Revealed
However, that unnatural smile was fleeting, and we naturally didn't even notice it.
The darkness of the night gradually spreads, covering the sky and the earth. The moon was full, but the moonlight was very light, and occasionally a few stars took advantage of the black curtain to burrow out and make up for the moon with a faint light. In the distance, there were a few long wolf howls wafting, which were creepy.
"Oops! There is no shelter in these four places, what can I do when the wolf comes? He Yunwu heard the wolf howl and said worriedly.
"Phew, crow's mouth!" Pin Qilei said, and slapped He Yunwu's head a few times, "Didn't you see that there is a mountain in front of you?" Where there are mountains, there are caves. We'll make a fire in it and spend the night to see which animal dares to come! ”
He Yunwei resisted back with greater strength: "You know, you know how to beat me!" It's okay to talk well! ”
I stopped, "Stop making trouble! The mountain is not far away, so let's hurry over. ”
"Okay. Hey? Don't learn from me! They didn't agree and started fighting again.
I looked at them helplessly, and took the first step, the little tail following closely behind.
A cool breeze whistled by, and although it was autumn, the wind was biting. I pulled the placket and walked faster. They probably felt a chill on their bodies, so they stopped and rushed over.
We walked a short distance along the mountain and found a cave with a circular entrance and a diameter of about three feet, barely accessible to people. After entering, it suddenly became clear that there was a zhang at the highest point, not to mention the width and depth, and six more people could sleep.
We picked up a lot of dead grass and lit it, and found a few large rocks to block the entrance to the cave, so that we could sleep peacefully.
The flames danced, the shadows danced relentlessly, and the sound of breathing came and went. Later in the night, a shadow on the cave wall stood up, growing in size, writhing like a monster, and moving slowly. Then, stopped in front of a person.
The shadow shrank as the master squatted, and as if unwilling, stretched out his black hand and grabbed the shadow of another object.
"Who?" I woke up because it seemed as if someone had touched the soul comb on my head.
"Hey, me." The man in front of him smiled and pointed to his nose.
"Big Brother Pin?" I wondered, "You haven't slept so late?" ”
"I slept, and I was woken up by a nightmare." He scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Old Mo, you sleep so lightly?" ”
I subconsciously touched the comb and watched him nod.
He saw my movements, and his smile froze inadvertently.
His stagnation was fleeting, but I still caught it: "What's wrong? ”
"Well, nothing." He doesn't look at me.
He once said that he dreamed of his wife and children asking for help, and eighty percent of them had the same dream today. I didn't want to uncover his scars again, so I didn't ask any more questions, but symbolically persuaded him, and went back to sleep. And he was right next to me, looking at me all the time, for a long time.
The little tail flipped over, and the conch given to it by the mirage fell out. Pin Qilei picked up the conch, took it to his eyes and looked at it carefully, then sneered and threw it into the fire. He stared straight at the fire, and the flames looked at him as if they had been poured with oil, and instantly went straight to the top of the cave.
Suddenly, in the crack of the stone cave at the entrance of the cave, a fierce gaze penetrated! With a low panting sound, the dark green eyes became deeper.
Feeling the malice, he turned his head to see that the eyes outside the cave quickly withdrew, followed by a mournful wolf howl that was louder and louder.
"Ahh
With an order, he stepped around in jagged paw steps. The unique bloody aura coming out of the wolf's mouth became thicker and thicker, and through the cracks in the stone, the air in the cave was stained black and purple. We sat up straight in shock and found that Pin Qilei had stood up vigilantly.
"You, don't worry, Brother Ling, I will protect you!" He Yunwu also picked up two stones and lifted them, his words were heroic, but his tone trembled, and then looked at his legs, he was even more trembling.
The little tail jumped up, and immediately remembered the conch given to it by the mirage, but after looking for a long time, he didn't find it. It thought it had lost it, and was annoyed. In desperation, it suddenly found a blackened conch in the fire, and it wanted to reach out its claws to get it, but unfortunately the fire was too big to claw.
"Sister Ling Ran! Conch can help us! Extinguish the fire, it's in the fire! Little Tail shouted anxiously.
When I heard the sound, I immediately cast a spell to conjure up flowing water and extinguish the fire. As soon as the fire was extinguished, the little tail stretched out its claws to grab the conch, but the moment it touched it, the conch turned into black powder and fell to the ground.
It couldn't believe its eyes, and was so anxious that it was about to cry: "Sister Ling Ran! ”
"Don't worry!" I comforted it, "As long as we hold this hole, we will be safe." ”
Before I had finished speaking, I stretched out my palm to the stone that sealed the entrance to the cave, and the water gushed out, enveloping all the stones, filling all the gaps, and with a stroke of my palm, the water condensed into ice, and a door mixed with ice and stone was completed. In order to ensure air circulation, I also deliberately left a few small holes with a diameter of one inch above this door.
"Bang-" "Bang-" "Bang-"
I never thought that this group of wolves would actually hit the "door"! Moreover, after a few impacts, the ice already had cracks. No way! If this continues, sooner or later they will rush in, and I must keep casting spells!
However, spells like physical strength, no matter whether I have strong power in my body or not, as long as I use them without stopping, they will always be temporarily exhausted. Therefore, after only an hour on the left, I was already dizzy and my eyes were full of stars. Those wolves are so patient, too!
I gritted my teeth and continued to hold on, but my body instinctively wanted to put my hand down, and immediately fell to the ground. Of course I can lie down, but my friends can't! I'm going to save them.
Another hour passed, and I was almost so weak that I could continue on my knees until I was half-kneeling. There was an iron smell in his throat that rushed upwards, and the hot liquid rushed out of his mouth! The chest cavity seemed to be filled with a thousand pounds of wine, and it hurt like a fire.
Let it go......
I can't let go, even if I die, I have to give my friends a way to live! One life for three lives, it's worth it!
"Brother Ling!" He Yunwu rushed up to hug me, and was afraid that I would be distracted by disturbing, so he raised his hands in a funny posture and begged me, "Stop casting spells, please!" ”
I ignored him and continued to cast spells. After a while, my heart felt like it had been pinched by someone, and I was so painful that I collapsed.
The wolves outside were still bumping into each other, and soon, the sound of shattering sounded. I struggled to my feet, using the last of my strength to cast the spell, but the spell didn't come out, and another mouthful of blood spurted out, and I really didn't have any strength at all.
"Bang-" There was another loud bang, and the "cave door" collapsed, and the broken stone and ice fell to the ground, and a pack of wolves stepped on them and broke in. If the fire in the cave was not extinguished, they might still be afraid, but now that there is no fire, they are not afraid at all, grinning, and their eyes are extremely fierce, slowly forcing us to the end of the cave.
He Yunwu carried me to the innermost, holding the stone and waving it constantly. Pin Qilei also held the branch nervously. But I don't know if the wolf thinks that he has a good chance of winning because of his wolf strength, or if he is really hungry and takes risks, in short, he doesn't care about the two people in front of him at all. I was about to cast the spell again, but there was a sharp pain in my heart, and I coughed up a lot of blood. Smelling the blood, the wolves became even more excited, and let out a low roar in their throats, and their paws moved faster.
......Suddenly, as if he had been tricked, a wolf flew out of the hole and fell heavily on a boulder, and a cry of pain and despair echoed in the night sky.
The other wolves didn't care about it and kept going. Suddenly, another wolf was thrown out like the wolf just now, but this wolf was not so lucky, its cry was cut alive with the sound of landing, and Xu fell to his death. The wolves were vigilant and stopped moving forward, just staring at us.
What's going on? I looked at He Yunwu, his face was full of doubts, and then I looked at the little tail, but it was calm. Then, my eyes moved to Pin Qilei's face, and I understood.
I saw that his expression was serious, frowning and staring ahead, and as his eyes closed and opened, two white lights shot out of his eyes, and another wolf flew out.
He actually knows how to spell!
Soon, all the wolves were "invited" out by him in this way. They scrambled to their feet, and ran away with their tails between their legs, not even having the courage to scream again.
After the wolf left, Pin Qilei closed his eyes and sat down according to his eyes.
He Yunwu was frightened, and after a long while, he realized something, he threw the stone to the ground, reached out and grabbed the placket of the pin, glared, and said fiercely: "Do you know how to spell?" ”
"What will happen? Spread it out for me! ”
"Then why didn't you help Brother Ling just now?"
"My spells can only be used to attack!"
"Then why didn't you use it before?"
"I don't want to use it!"
If his spells can only be used to attack, not to save lives, then it makes sense why he subconsciously blocked my ice dagger with his hand. However, along the way, he encountered so many hardships and dangers, and he only used spells today as a last resort. It was clear that he wanted to hide the fact that he knew how to spell, but why should he hide it?
I looked at Little Tail: "Little Tail, do you know that your master and husband know how to spell?" ”
It smiled proudly and said, "Yes, he's a great fighter." ”
"Why didn't you tell me before?"
It saw that my expression was wrong, thinking that he had made something wrong, and said pitifully: "I'm sorry Sister Ling Ran, I thought you didn't ask, so I don't need to say it." ”
I smiled helplessly: "You're right, don't apologize, I was too anxious to scare you." I said, touching its little head to comfort it.
"Smack-" There was a bang, and the pin was hit on the wall of the cave. He felt the bleeding from the corner of his mouth, wiped it with the back of his hand, glared at He Yun and said, "You dare to hit me!" Looking for death? ”
He Yunwu stretched out his head: "Come on, I'm just looking for death!" Do you have such a friend? Hide everything, calculate everything, if the wolf hadn't rushed in and threatened your dog's life, would you have watched Brother Ling die? ”
"I'll tell you He Yunwei! I've put up with you for a long time. To tell you the truth, I just want to keep the matter of hiding that I have a spell, if it weren't for Lao Mo, I wouldn't have made a move! Pin Qilei wiped his hands, and his tone became stronger and stronger.
He Yun went up and punched again: "Phew! Do you deserve it? You almost killed her! As he spoke, he tried to raise his foot and kick it again.
"Stop fighting! Isn't that okay with me? I yelled at him.
He looked at me incredulously: "You're vomiting blood!" ”
I wiped the blood on my face and said casually: "This is all a normal thing, you will be tired and vomit blood after running for more than ten miles." ”
"Brother Ling......" He wanted to say something more, but I interrupted him, "Don't call me brother, I can't stand it." ”
"You ......" He Yunwu had nothing to say for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he found the words to break the embarrassment, "Then what do you say I call you?" ”
"Whatever you want." I turned away from him, out of sight and out of mind.
"Hey......" he shamelessly leaned up, "call you Ah Ran?" ”
“……”
"Ah Ling?"
“……”
"Lingling?"
“……”
"Yet?"
“……”
"What the hell is it called?" He was a little impatient and sat down on the ground.
I looked at him, frowned, and asked, "Why do you have to give me another name?" Is it bad to call me by my original name? ”
He wondered, "Isn't this my intention to show that you are unique in my heart?" Huh? What shall I call you? ”
I really didn't want to deal with this verbose ghost, so I went out with my little tail in my arms.
"That's it! You can't go back! He shouted in the hole.
Inside the cave, Pin Qilei did not speak.
