165. The night is long, why not walk together?
Chu Fengci took out the fire fold from his arms and quietly slipped to the heights around him when the wolves didn't notice her.
In a few moments, the flames suddenly lit up all around, and there was a whistling sound among the grass and trees, and the wolves were frightened, and fled in all directions, and burrowed into the woods, and soon disappeared.
The dying fox lay on the ground, its red eyes dancing with the distant firelight.
After Chu Fengci extinguished the fire, he ran towards the fox quickly, and as soon as he got close to the fox, he heard a "whoop", and then the sound of "whoo" came and went.
Countless green dots flashed around the originally dark area, and slowly wolf shadows appeared, all of them roaring from all directions.
Chu Fengci secretly said no, pulled out the dagger, protected it in front of the fox, and stared at the wolves that surrounded him.
Adult wolves are all very large, and they are as tall as her when they stand up, and it is false to say that they are not afraid, but now she has no way back.
With foxes and high stones in the back and wolves in front of her, she can only fight to the death and fight her way out.
Thinking so, she raised her hand and tore the strip of cloth from her clothes, tying the dagger and her hand tightly together to prevent the dagger from coming out of her hand during the fight.
Although the dagger stained with snake blood could not see the color of the original blade, the bright red blood stains could stimulate people's nerves, which could not help but excite people, and also made the wolves begin to be restless.
Chu Fengci's right leg took a step back slightly, bent his knee, and prepared to attack, his sharp gaze swept through the wolves, and he quickly determined his ultimate targetβthe adult wolf standing on the high rock opposite.
If she guessed correctly, the adult wolf was the head wolf of the pack, and all the wolves were centered around it.
Therefore, as long as the wolf is killed, the wolves will naturally rout and flee.
Just want to kill the wolf, how easy is it?
Chu Fengci looked at the approaching wolves, gritted his teeth, and charged to attack, just about to attack, only to hear a "whoosh", the head wolf standing on the high stone weakened, and fell from the high stone.
For a time, the wolves without a head collapsed, fled in all directions, and soon disappeared into the forest.
The forest was quiet again, except for the corpse of the head wolf that had fallen from the high rock, it was completely unclear that it had just been surrounded by wolves.
Chu Fengci came to the side of the head wolf, and the head wolf had a crossbow arrow on his body, which pierced through the heart, and the blood that flowed out stained the silver-gray hair red.
She crouched down to get a closer look at the bolt, and just as her hand was about to touch it, the wolf suddenly opened its mouth and bit at her, so fast that she had no time to dodge.
At the last moment, a black shadow flashed in the afterglow, and then someone grabbed him around his waist, and the whole person was lifted up in the air, and then he saw that the wolf that jumped up had been smashed into his skull and fell in a pool of blood.
The man who surrounded her was a man, dressed in a black robe, with a silver mask on his face, and the dragon's beard that fell from his sideburns was blown up by the wind, obscuring her eyes.
However, through her hair, she could still see clearly the eyes under the mask, those eyes were as dark and deep as ink, calm as a pool of stagnant water.
She was placed firmly on the ground, and the next moment the man was about to leave, but she quickly reached out and grabbed the man's wrist, blocking his way, "You are the one who secretly reminded me." β
This is an affirmation rather than a question, I don't know why, she always feels that the man in front of her is very familiar, as if she has known each other for a long time.
"Who are you?"
If he hadn't appeared, Chu Fengci wouldn't have asked this sentence, but he did, and every time he appeared, when she was in danger.
This kind of help makes her feel very weird, there is never a good thing in this world for no reason.
"Why are you helping me so much?"
The man didn't speak, just took out the jade pendant from his arms, Chu Fengci glanced at it and recognized it, this was the jade pendant she had given in the secret room before.
"I see. β
Chu Fengci didn't ask any further, the man's meaning of showing this jade pendant was very clear, and helping her was just that he had promised her before, and there was no other meaning.
The man pinched the jade pendant in his hand and gently rubbed it twice before putting it in his arms.
Chu Fengci let go, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving your life." β
The man looked at her and did not speak.
After a moment of silence, the man turned around to leave, and as soon as he left, he noticed that the corners of his clothes were being pulled, and when he looked down, he saw that Chu Fengci had buttoned the corners of his clothes with the corners of his clothes.
He looked at her puzzled, only to see her clapping her hands and smiling slyly, "It's a long way, since Your Excellency has already appeared, why don't you go along?"
The light in the man's eyes moved, and he looked at the corner of his buttoned clothes and didn't speak, letting Chu Fengci drag him away.
"It hurts. β
Chu Fengci squatted beside the fox, the fox didn't even have the strength to raise his head at this time, so he could only look at her with his eyes blank, his red eyes were full of sadness, and she felt very uncomfortable.
The man looked at the fox, the injury was too serious, so he relied on his last breath to hold on, and there was no value to save at all, but he still took out the medicine bottle and handed it over.
Chu Fengci hurriedly tore off the strip of cloth from her clothes to help the fox bandage it, and the fox licked her fingers, and finally swallowed her breath before the bandaging was finished.
Her palm dragged the fox's head, and she could feel the weight in her palm getting heavier and heavier, and her heart was like a stone pressing down, heavy, making people breathless.
The man always stood silently, even at the moment when his life was gone, his eyes were still as silent as stagnant water.
"In fact, sometimes, human life is as fragile as it is. β
Chu Fengci didn't know if he was saying this to a man or to himself.
She gently placed the fox's head on the ground, at least, she tried to make it feel warm in the last moments of its life.
The light in the man's eyes flickered for a moment, glancing at the corner of the buttoned up clothes, in fact, he only needed a little force to tear it off, and turned to leave, but he didn't.
"Let's bury it. Chu Fengci said.
The man didn't speak, but just stepped forward to pick up the fox, and as soon as he picked it up, he found that there was a little fox hidden under the fox, which was snow-white, with only a tuft of small red hair on his forehead, which looked particularly cute.
"No wonder it didn't want to move half a minute when the wolves besieged it, it was to protect it. β
Chu Fengci held the little fox in his arms, it was too small, so small that its eyes had not yet opened, and its whole body was soft as if it had no bones.
The man just glanced at the little fox, and then carried the fox to the stream and washed away all the blood stains on the fox.
Only then did Chu Fengci see clearly the fox's original coat color, which was the same as the little fox, snow-white, and very beautiful.
