"Where are we now?" Hodge asked as he walked.

"I don't know, the moss is still like that, maybe when this abnormal cold wave passes, the sun rises in the sky, and we can tell where we are. ”

Luisa crossed her waist angrily and said, "By the way, this is the seventh hundred and thirty-first question you asked." ”

"Don't be so impatient, Miss Louisa. Hodge's tone was grim, like a frosted eggplant, or a cucumber, and his languishing mood could be heard, "You know, this is not the last time, and soon I will be raising this question with you for the seven hundred and thirty-second time." ”

"As you please, Mr. Harlow. "You should be more concerned about our supplies, for though the food is plentiful, the white powder is almost depleted, without which strips of cloth and firewood alone cannot withstand the howling wind." ”

"How else can you care, only alchemists know the recipe for this thing, even if I am in a hurry for a long time, I can't make a white brand. ”

Hodge said: "It's actually the same problem, if you can't get out, it's a dead end, and if you can't make a fire, it's also a dead end, depending on which way you meet first." ”

"Shhhh

She pointed ahead, and in the shadows deep in the forest, there was indeed a faint stream of light flowing through the gaps in the leaves.

"Anyone?"

"No, don't you think there's something strange about that light when you look closely? it's just a matter of flickering and dimming, and the colors are constantly changing, and the torches don't emit anything other than orange. ”

"What then, walk around?"

Luisa thought for a moment and shook her head: "No, if it's really human, we can ask for some supplies, if not, we should also have time to escape, but we need to be careful not to alarm there." ”

"Good. ”

The two of them cautiously shifted their positions through the bushes, looking for the distant location of the light.

What unfolded before me was a startling scene, an oval-shaped sphere floating slightly off the ground, about half a human in size, like an enlarged goose egg, its shell separated into dozens of willow leaf-like strips, blooming on the ground like a flower, and it was the body of the "egg" that emitted light.

Several thin lines of light separated from the oval-shaped sphere to the periphery, and beside it crawled four long-clawed wolves that had mutated once, the silk threads were wrapped around their bodies, and the tips of the threads had faintly penetrated into the wolf's body, and under the flickering light, the wolf's size gradually shrank, and the color of its fur began to become dull, and in the slow change, it became closer and closer to the appearance of the intelligent wolf that Hodge had seen.

"That's where the mutation comes from......" Luisa muttered.

Hodge took out his knife and made some markings on the trunks of nearby trees: "When we get out, tell the army to follow the markers to destroy this strange thing, now it's time for us to go." ”

"Well, let's get out of here. Luisa couldn't agree with him more, and the two of them rushing forward would only increase the casualties.

The moment Luisa turned around, the light behind her suddenly fell, and everything was dark, and they had extinguished the torches for the purpose of stealth, and now they couldn't even see each other's positions.

"What's going on. Hodge lowered his voice and said hoarsely, "You alarmed it?"

"I don't know......" Louisa's voice also carried a flustered mood, which is really rare, you must know that Hodge has never seen her flustered side since he met her, "I've been careful." ”

"The question is, did it find us at all. ”

"It's too dark, how can you let me know for sure, but I haven't seen the reddish glow of the eyes yet. ”

Hodge made up his mind: "Let's light the fire, the dark environment is not good for us, and those mutated hybrids have much stronger night vision than us." ”

The fire ignited again, and the two who had recovered their vision took a breath of cold air together, and between the two of them, four pairs of red pupils lit up at the same time, and the little wolf of the second mutation was always hidden beside them in the dark, and only then did they open their eyes.

Their breathing was unconsciously held, and the four little wolves also watched them quietly, never moving, which made the two more and more nervous.

Finally, a wolf couldn't help but open its mouth, and Hodge immediately grabbed Luisa's hand and turned around and retreated, shouting, "Draw your sword!"

Scold!

The blade was unsheathed, and the peerless blade made of fish scale steel was held by Luisa with both hands, and he slashed forward without thinking about it, and the little wolf kicked the minions as quickly as lightning to withdraw from the attack range of the long sword, but he didn't want the blazing invisible wall behind him to block their movements, and the pain made them slow down for a moment, and in such a short time, the blade swung down, and a little wolf who didn't have time to withdraw was cut into two parts.

The triumphant start was far from the time to celebrate, and the remaining three wolf cubs were not easy to deal with, and their long sharp claws would cut open their bellies and feast on their flesh and blood.

"Can you still wield a sword?" Hodge asked Louisa, leaning back to back.

Louisa breathed a sigh of relief, shook her hair and pretended to be relaxed: "I'm not as unbearable as you think, I can swing as many swords as I want." ”

"Don't be pushy, miss. Hodge smiled knowingly, leaned back, and with the help of each other's backs as a support, the two quickly separated, and he yelled, "Swing your sword to your left rear!"

The wolf's claws landed in the established position, and he immediately used a high-intensity microwave stream to shoot towards the location where he landed, and Luisa's long sword also landed accurately at this moment.

But in the end, the blow failed, and the little wolf was already on guard, twisting his body to break free from the scorching restraint before the sword fell, and his claws scraped the soil, opening his bloody mouth, and immediately launched a counterattack.

The two of them wander the line between life and death, struggling to resist the wolf's attack, looking for a suitable gap to try to break through the wolf's defenses.

Blood and sweat flowed at the same time, and it was long impossible to distinguish the junction between each other.

Both Hodge and Louisa were completely soaked with their own blood and that of the wolf, their heavy coats torn from their long claws, and cotton wool fluttering all over the sky, stained with a dark red tint.

"Right now!"

Luisa swung a sharp sword with all her strength, and finally slashed the little wolf's head, this mutated guy's skull was extremely hard, even the fish-scale steel long sword was only cut in half and could no longer move.

Three, they have already dealt with the three wolf cubs, and there is only one left.

Perhaps it was the anger of the blood, the speed of the last wolf soared, and the moment Hodge turned around, he saw a black shadow leaping over his shoulder, and his shoulder blades were scratched by sharp claws and aching hotly, but he didn't care about his injuries at all, and shouted at Luisa: "Get out of the way!"

The real purpose of this little wolf was Luisa behind him, and at this time her long sword was still stuck in the skull of the wolf corpse, and she was not able to defend against the little wolf's attack at all.

Seeing that the wolf's claws were about to hit her in the abdomen.

Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air in the dense forest.

The little wolf that flew in mid-air was stunned, and then was carried down by the huge penetrating force, flew down to the big tree next to it, and slammed into the trunk of the camphor tree, and moved for a while before moving again.

Three arrows appear on the right side of its abdomen.

To be precise, three arrows and a wooden pole, although these three arrows appear at the same time, but not the same shot, the three arrows are arranged in a straight line, at the same time the first arrow hits, the latter arrow will follow, the arrow will pierce the body of the previous arrow into broken pieces of wood, straight against the steel arrow, superimposed on the strength of the three arrows, so that the wolf flies upside down in the air.

"Are you alright?"

Hodge blinked, feeling the voice familiar.

The hunter jumped out of the dense forest next to him, patted the grass ash on his body, and looked up at the two of them: "I saw that there was movement here and followed, but I didn't expect to meet a living person." ”

Hodge's mouth opened wide: "Oliver?"

Only then did the hunter recognize his blood-stained face, and he was also stunned: "Hodge, is that you?"
