Chapter 10: Crisis
In the valley, Ping Lei and his party were busy tying up their freshly captured prey. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Good guy!" Feng You tied up a snowcow and sighed: "Although I came late this year, I was lucky! ”
"This snowcow weighs at least two thousand pounds, and there are hundreds of snowcows in that group just now, rushing over to suppress a piece of black press, we can survive and catch three by the way, it's already good, don't be too greedy! Otherwise, it's easy to lose your life!" Seeing that Feng You was still not satisfied, Ping Lei Shu fell.
"What Brother Lei said is that I am greedy! I still want to live a few more days. Feng You pouted.
"But shall we go back to camp now? ”
Ping Lei thought to himself, the weight of two thousand catties can only be lifted by Feng You and himself alone, and the rest of the villagers have to have at least two people if they want to lift it.
"In that case, then you should carry the snow cow back to camp first. We will have enough food to eat for a few days, and we will continue to hunt to see if we can catch anything. Thinking about it, Ping Lei instructed the other six village names.
"Okay, then let's go back first and wait for Brother Lei to triumph!"
......
The Winter Hunting Team continued to move forward, and now only Pinglei, Ping'an and Feng You were left.
"Father! there seems to be an accident ahead!" "Walking Ping'an, he suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood, and there must be blood ahead.
After being washed and nourished by the blood mist, Ping'an's sense of smell, hearing and vision have become more sensitive and sharp.
"What's wrong?"
The two of them did not feel abnormal at this time.
"The smell of human blood, someone in front of me saw blood!"
This unique smell of blood from human blood is not unheard of in the previous life, even if you come to this other world, you will not forget it, and you can distinguish it at once.
"Why can't I smell it, you kid?"
Feng You took a few deep breaths and didn't smell the smell.
"Grab your weapon and be on guard!"
Ping Lei didn't smell the smell, but he knew that Ping An was not an ordinary person, so he naturally had to believe it.
The three of them were on guard and continued on their way.
"Hey, get down!"
Climb over a hill and the view ahead is wide. As soon as he showed his head, he saw a group of snow wolves not far in front of him eating the corpses of villagers who came to hunt in winter.
Ping An also saw it, and leaned down to observe through the cracks in the rubble.
These snow wolves were even larger than the lion tigers in their previous lives, with a body length of more than a zhang, silver-white hair, and thick limbs, and there were no less than fifty of them.
"Ping'an, I'm really convinced of you kid now! From the moment you said just now, I am afraid that it will be more than ten miles to get here, which is very powerful. Feng You also lay down to observe and couldn't help but sigh.
"Now you're still in the mood to say this! There were about twenty people who died in front of them, all lying in a ball, probably surrounded by wolves, and none of them escaped. If you haven't reached the beginner level of the Silver Knight's strength, you can't parry the snow wolf at all, if there are only a dozen or so, we can still kill them. There are too many snow wolves in more than fifty years, and they will be consumed to death if they are surrounded. Now while they are still gnawing, they have to retreat quickly, in case they are discovered, it will be dangerous!" Pinglei said eagerly.
"Then let's go now!" Feng You hurriedly agreed.
The three of them leaned over and returned the way they came.
"Watch your step!"
Just a few steps back, Ping An saw that Feng You, who was walking in front, was about to step on a loose boulder and hurriedly reminded him.
"Whoa... Burst!... Burst!... Poof..."
Still before he could stop it, the loose boulder was trampled down the mountain by Feng You, hitting the stones along the way, making several sounds that echoed in the valley.
The ears of the wolves that were eating suddenly pricked up, and one wolf raised its head and stared at the mountain in front of it, and the wolf's nose was raised and sniffed, and there was an intruder.
"Oh..."
The wolf howl sounded, and the wolves that were gnawing stopped eating and rushed towards the other side of the mountain.
"Oh no! Run!" "There was no time to blame, Ping Lei hurriedly beckoned.
Although Ping An is the weakest, he can run fast, and he can step several feet away in one step.
The wolves quickly caught up, but they did not rush to attack, and seemed to know that the people in front of them were not easy to mess with, and they would suffer a loss if they attacked rashly. Just follow the three of them and drive them deeper into the mountains, trying to exhaust their physical strength.
"If this continues, sooner or later, it will be over, what should I do!" Feng You didn't have time to regret it, and said anxiously while running.
"Hold on! Can't stop, let the wolves find the flaw and swarm and besiege. ”
Ping Lei now also knew that his physical strength would be exhausted sooner or later, but there was no better way to do it at the moment.
The three of them continue to run for their lives...
"Look! There's a lot of snow down that mountain in front of you! It should be the peak of yesterday's avalanche. ”
Ping An ran at the front alone, in fact, he could run faster and didn't feel a little tired, but he was worried that his father and Uncle Feng You would run out of strength and be surrounded by wolves.
"We're going to run there now, the snow that has just fallen is deep and loose, and the wolves will sink too deep into it. We still have a chance to live. ”
Originally, Ping Lei was close to despair, but he could see his life and death, but he was afraid that the young child would die today. I was very remorseful, thinking that I shouldn't have taken Ping'an out to hunt in the east, and I was ready to intercept the wolves alone and fight to the death so that my son and Feng You could run further, but now I saw a glimmer of hope.
In a short time, the three of them had fled into the snowdrifts that had slipped down the mountainside, and the wolves followed.
As it progressed deeper, the loose snow could not bear the weight of the snow wolf and sank.
Several wolves had fallen into the snow and could not climb out for a while, greatly slowing down the speed of the wolves.
The head wolf howled, and the wolves slowed down and slowly approached, for fear that the snow would sink again.
"Finally, I can rest, and if I run again, I will be almost gone!" After running dozens of miles of mountain roads along the way, Feng You's heart was beating violently at this moment, and he was panting heavily.
"The terrain here can only make it difficult for wolves to besiege, and we still have a chance to survive on our own. Feng You, you protect your peace, I'll deal with the snow wolf!"
Ping Lei raised his heavy sword with one hand and stared at the snow wolf who wanted to get closer.
A snow wolf that was walking in the front suddenly jumped up, showing its thick and sharp wolf claws and pounced on Ping Lei, and was about to pounce.
Seeing the snow wolf attacking, Ping Lei swung his heavy sword and found the opportunity to draw it out vigorously.
"Bang!"
The greatsword slammed into the snow wolf's stone-hard head, and the whole head was smashed into it. With inertia, it was pumped out a few feet away.
Another snow wolf on the side then jumped up and pounced on Ping Lei.
Ping Lei let out a loud sigh.
The fighting qi flowing in the meridians in the body converged to the right arm, and was guided into the heavy sword along the palm of the hand to swing a slash in the air, and the sword qi flew out and slashed straight past the snow wolf that was still flying in mid-air.
"Huh!"
The snow wolf was stopped by the flying sword qi, and its body separated into two sections in the air, and the bright wolf blood sprayed far away. The wolf corpse fell into the snow and could not move, and it seemed that it would not survive.
At this time, the wolves were so intimidated that they did not dare to attack rashly, staring at Ping Lei and baring their fangs and roaring.
The scene suddenly became deadlocked, and both sides were wary of each other.
A moment later, the wolf howled again. The wolves also rushed to Pinglei regardless of the fluffy snow, trying to solve this hard bone.
"Boom... Boom..."
At this moment, the mountain began to shake again, increasing in intensity and intensity.
The wolves immediately panicked, and they all leaned down on the spot and shivered.
The three of them didn't know what was going on, and they gathered together and didn't dare to move.
"Is this an earthquake?" Ping thought to himself, if there was an earthquake, the whole area should be moved together, but the other nearby hills were very calm. Not to mention, this is still a mountain range, and it is unlikely that only one mountain peak will shake. Fortunately, the snow on the top of the mountain had collapsed during yesterday's shaking and subsidence, otherwise it would have caused another avalanche.
"You can't sit still here, this place is more dangerous, get out of here now!" Ping Lei hurriedly beckoned.
The unknown danger is the most terrifying, seeing that the snow wolves are all lying on the spot and dare not move, the three of them quickly fled.
"Boom... Boom..."
The mountain continued to shake and began to sink into the ground again, this time it did not stop, and it sank faster and faster...
"Huh... Boom..."
As soon as the three of them escaped from the subsidence range, they heard a more violent sound of collapse from behind.
Looking back, I saw that the mountain behind me, which was still slowly sinking, was now sinking rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the entire mountain peak was completely submerged into the ground, leaving a large crater several miles in diameter, and the snow wolf, which was still lying in place and did not dare to move, also fell with the mountain.
"The whole bottom of the mountain has been hollowed out!"
Feng You couldn't believe it at this time, this was beyond the scope of his comprehension.
As soon as the words fell, an incomparably thick giant insect suddenly appeared in the deep pit, soaring into the sky.
Giant worms fill the pit, and their worm-like bodies are disgusting. The sight was terrifying, and when Ping An saw this, he immediately remembered that he had mentioned such a vision when he was studying with Master Kane.
"This insect is called the tunnel worm, which is the largest known alien worm, and it usually takes nearly 100 years for the tunnel worm to invade. ”
"The diameter of the tunnel insect can be several miles, the body length can reach hundreds of miles, and it can swallow and dissolve mountain stones, and it is born to drill into the ground. When it runs out of health and can no longer burrow into the ground, it will emerge from the ground and die. The giant insect body quickly festered and dissipated. The swarms will then swarm in and invade human territory through the tunnels. If it is discovered, it should be reported to the empire as soon as possible to send heavy troops to encircle and destroy the tunnel, otherwise it will cause a disaster. ”
Thinking of peace, he hurriedly informed.
"Hurry up, now we will return to the village as soon as possible, and take all the villagers to the county seat for refuge!" Pinglei had also heard some legends, but he was not sure, but now he listened to Ping'an's detailed explanation, and he was more convinced that a disaster was about to occur.
The three of them didn't care about getting tired, and ran towards the camp outside the mountains...
