Chapter 67: Escape

The autumn breeze is bleak

Plants and trees withered

On the endless plain, a patch of yellow and green is mottled, and it is even more lonely.

Suddenly, there was a dense and rapid sound of horses' hooves, like stones thrown into the lake, breaking the calm mirror of the lake here.

"Su Ming, it's not okay to run like this again, the two-horned horses can't run anymore, they must stop and let them rest and rest, otherwise they will run to death directly." Long legs rode on a two-horned horse that was wet with sweat, and shouted loudly to Su Ming next to him.

"Yes, if it weren't for the two-horned horse, we would definitely be overtaken by the white-clawed wolf. White Fang, who had recovered, also shouted from the side.

"Alright then, let's stop and rest for an hour, let the two-wildebeest recover its strength, and then set off. Su Ming saw the two-horned horse under him that had obviously slowed down, and he reluctantly agreed.

Five days have passed since Su Ming was on the hillside that day and accidentally saw a large group of white-clawed wolves tracking from a distance.

In order to increase their speed and widen the distance between the two sides, Su Ming and Shuangjiao immediately abandoned everything that could be discarded, and now everyone was left with only wind grass, street lamp trees, and the necessary food and water when rushing, and then there were the weapons they carried with them.

All the hides hunted on the road, as well as the extra lamp trees, the horns or fangs of beasts or savage beasts that were used as trophies and proof of personal success, were all discarded without hesitation.

Lightly equipped, Su Ming and the others had a speed that was slightly faster than the traveling speed of the white-clawed wolf, allowing them to stay at a dangerous distance that was not easy to be detected by the white-clawed wolf, and spent seven days safely.

However, as the two-wildebeest continued to deplete its physical strength and did not get enough rest, their speed began to decline rapidly. The distance between the two sides is also getting smaller and smaller. Now Su Ming and the others are already within the red line range of being discovered by the white-clawed wolf, and they may be seen by them at any time.

At that time, because the traces were exposed, and they were in full pursuit, according to Su Ming's current travel speed, I am afraid that they will be caught up by the white-clawed brute wolf in less than half a day, and everyone will be in danger at that time.

Seeing that the clansmen were all slumped on the ground tiredly, biting the jerky bite by bite, Su Ming felt very uncomfortable in his heart. We must find a way to delay the pursuit of the white-clawed wolf, otherwise if we continue like this, we will be caught up in a day or two.

"How long are these white-clawed wolves going to be pursued, it's been seven days now, and my ass is going to be turned into four by the two-horned horse. ”

"Hey, I'm used to this forbearance, but I don't know when I can make a fire, so I want to be able to eat a hot meal. I gnaw on jerky every day, which is not only cold but also very hard, and now my teeth hurt. ”

Firing?

Listening to the complaints of the clansmen, Su Ming suddenly felt like an initiation, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of a way to delay the pursuit of the white-clawed wolves. Looking at the yellowed grass and shrubs on the plains, I felt the coolness of the autumn wind blowing on my face, and the direction was right.

There is a high probability that this method can be achieved to achieve the effect of delaying the pursuit.

Soon, the rest time passed, and Su Ming, who was riding on the double-horned horse, was ready to move forward again, but the difference was that each of them was holding a few homemade torches in their hands, and the raging fire was burning.

"Let's start!" Su Ming gave the order, and took the lead in running towards the depths of the plain, and the clansmen behind him also followed him, but one would stay every other distance, and a very sparse human wall was formed in a few minutes.

The torches were thrown out, easily igniting the withered grass on the plains, and when the autumn wind blew, it suddenly spread into a large area. Seeing that Su Ming had already started, the other clansmen also continued to ignite the grass around them, and the wind helped the fire, which soon became a whole and quickly spread into the distance.

The raging fire, with billowing smoke and burning ashes, swept towards the white-clawed wolves, and the sky on the plains darkened.

"Let's go!" Su Ming let out a shout after throwing the torch, and controlled the two-horned horse's head to speed up and gallop away into the distance without looking back. He didn't know how long the fire on the plains could stop the white-clawed wolf, but he knew that according to the wisdom of the white-clawed wolf, no matter what the result was, now they had definitely exposed the distance between the two sides.

After avoiding the fires of the Plains, the white-clawed wolves will definitely chase after them as fast as they can, and now they are in a race against death, and they must be fast.

The white-clawed wolves were feasting on their freshly caught prey when they suddenly noticed a lot of animals running wildly past them. You know, these animals usually run away immediately when they see them, but now they run past them in a grand manner, and the situation is not normal.

When their eyes were lifted from the food to look in the direction where the animals were running, a white-clawed wolf with a large piece of meat in its mouth was biting, its pupils dilated, its mouth slightly open, and its barbed tongue did not hold the piece of meat, and fell out of its mouth.

The fire is burning!

That's the only thought in its head, and that's what it does. However, just after it turned and ran out a few steps, it saw the leader of its own clan standing in front of it, and the rest of its clan was quietly following it.

I saw that the leader had already bared its fangs, and a terrifying warning sound came out of its throat, especially when its cold eyes, which did not contain a trace of emotion, looked at it in a daze.

The little thought that it had just risen to escape suddenly melted silently like a small snowflake that suddenly appeared in the summer sun.

It consciously ran behind the leader, obediently waiting for the leader's order. Seeing that the white-clawed wolf was so sensible, the leader also looked away with satisfaction the terrifying gaze that had been staring at it.

There will be fires on the plains from time to time, and the leader of the white-clawed wolves knows it, but the time of the fires is in the winter, and the timing is not right, so what is the cause of this strange fire?

Suddenly, it thought of the possibility that the fire was caused by some kind of creature, either intentionally or accidentally, and it was okay to say accidentally, but what if they were intentional. So what is it for? Hunt prey or stop the enemy.

Since they can use fire, then they must be intelligent creatures, and they will not be so stupid to use fire to hunt prey at this time, and the effect is not good, then they will only block the enemy. The fire is coming this way, who is holding it back?

Those damned thieves!

The leader immediately ran to the top of a hill and quickly analyzed the impact of the burning fires on the surrounding environment, especially the general direction of the fire and the smoke with ashes.

Then, when it carefully observed the surrounding geographical environment to see if there was anything to use, when it saw the situation on the mountain in the distance, its eyes suddenly lit up, and it emitted a bright light of excitement.

As soon as the white-clawed wolf roared towards the hill, he took the lead towards the mountain range next to it, and the smoke from the burning did not affect the high part of the mountain......
