"David, get ready to retreat", looking at the weaker and weaker fire, the surrounding prairie voles were already ready to move, and some "anxious" voles had already crossed the fire and surrounded the three people.

David didn't speak, but took the horse and helped Adita up, and climbed on the horse's back with great difficulty to leave.

The situation was worse than expected, leaving Lu Ziming alone in the face of hundreds of voles had no chance of winning, if it was three super people, the situation might be much better.

Lu Ziming used a knife to pick up a pile of ashes that were about to burn out, and the passage was just enough for a steppe vole to pass through guò, and he waved the steel knife in his hand to slash at a vole that was trying to enter, and then blocked the vole's corpse in the passage and let it be eroded by the flames.

This was repeated many times, one by one the "brave" voles died in the passage, the air smelled of burnt barbecue, and the "smart" voles found that it was a man-made trap and no longer dared to rush in through the passage.

He did not retreat in a panic, looked around at the restless voles, and when he found that there was no danger, he walked up to the two mutant voles and found crystals and strengthened meat from the mutated voles.

"Are you two ready?"

David nodded, looked back at Adita, reached out and pulled the reins of Aditama, fully showing the style of a gentleman, if he said now: "Beauty first, please", it is definitely very touching.

Lu Ziming suddenly discovered that David, a middle-aged man, has European chivalry, which has nothing to do with strength, but with character and faith.

He jumped on his horse, stood on the horse's back and looked around, and not far away a silver-white ribbon loomed, where a small river that was not too wide meandered: "Continue to the southeast, drive!"

The war horse jumped over the fire that was about to burn out, and the horse's hooves flew up and stepped on the body of a steppe vole, making a sharp scream, and the three war horses rushed down the hill like arrows from the string, stepping on the body of the panicked vole group, leaving a messy corpse on the ground, and the figure disappeared from the hillside.

The prairie voles seemed to have evolved into a group of organizations, and as if driven by bloodthirsty instincts, after a short period of confusion, the vole group turned around and chased in the direction of the three people fleeing.

The speed of the war horse is not much faster than that of the steppe vole, which is related to the riding skills of the three people, and because the three war horses have not reached the age of riding, the maximum speed is only half of the speed of the normal war horse. Fortunately, the prairie vole failed to react in time, and the hillside was not far from the river, so when the prairie vole was about to catch up, the three of them had already crossed the river.

"You guys go quickly, I'll stay and cut off!"

Lu Ziming, who had just crossed the river, jumped off the war horse, and the grassland voles were all able to swim, although the swimming skills were not very good, but it was not a problem to swim through the small river that was not wide.

"You have to be careful!" said Aditta, the first words of concern.

"Let's go, I won't be able to stop them for long, you will reach Qi City south, and we may meet there?"

Qi Cheng is Ren Yan's sphere of influence, and it is also the only gateway from the grassland to country Z, Lu Ziming expects that Zhuoma and others will not let go of the opportunity to chase and kill Ren Yan, Qi Cheng is very likely to be captured in a short time, and it is not dangerous for David and Adita to go to Qi City.

As for himself, Lu Ziming thought very simply, if he couldn't beat him, he would run, and it would be easier to get out without David and Adita being involved.

The three of them have no experience in grassland survival, relatively speaking, Lu Ziming's situation is a little stronger than them, at least he will not panic when he encounters any danger, and he is not willing to watch the two die because of his decision.

He patrolled back and forth on the bank of the river with a steel knife, and when he saw the prairie vole crossing the river and coming ashore, he stabbed it as much as possible to buy time for the two to escape. As the minutes ticked by, as more and more voles swam to the other side, he knew he had done his best.

Fighting with voles is very tiring, energy can not be used, close combat has to bow down and bend over to run back and forth, coupled with the vole's too flexible body, often need a few knives to kill a vole, tired he is out of breath, and then fight not to be bitten to death by voles, will also be tired to death.

Unable to dwell any longer, he fought and retreated, waving his hand to kill a vole that pounced on him, taking advantage of the cannibalism of voles, he quickly climbed onto his horse and chased David and Adita south.

The morning sun had just jumped out of the horizon and into the dark clouds, when a bolt of lightning pierced the curtain and illuminated the river. The banks of the creek were crawling with dense voles, and I don't know when, the number of voles increased again, and the whole green meadow turned into a gray patch as far as the eye could see. A large number of voles are no longer swimming across the river, but piled together, a vole just went down the river, immediately another vole stepped on the back of the previous vole and rushed into the river, and then the back vole stepped on the front vole and rushed into the river, and so on, soon the river was covered with a field of mice that were crossing the river, forming a river crossing channel composed of voles.

In the face of nature, the power of man is small, and compared with the entire grassland vole group, Lu Ziming's strength is even thinner, and he does not even have the courage to resist.

I don't know when, a gust of wind blew on the grassland, and the wind mixed with the raindrops the size of soybeans poured down, hitting the face and hurting. The rain soaked his clothes, lost his eyes, and lost his sense of direction, so I don't know how long it took, looking back, the rainy day was foggy and gray, and the visibility was reduced to within ten meters, and I could no longer hear the "squeak" of the voles behind me, only the "crackling, crackling" sound of the raindrops, and the "click" sound of the horse's hooves in the distance.

In such bad weather, it was impossible for the vole to catch up with Lu Ziming, he didn't even know where he was, so he could only roughly choose a direction and keep urging the war horse forward and forward.

He touched the rain on his face and checked the equipment on his body, and the arrows were gone, and the bow and arrows were useless. Fortunately, the food in the backpack is enough to eat for a few days, otherwise I will really starve to death, the compass can not be counted on, looking at the hands that are spinning around, my heart sinks suddenly, I don't know if I am lost now, only after the rain stops, I can continue to hurry.

I don't know how long I walked in the rain, the grass under my feet became sparse, and a large area of sand appeared in the field of vision, at this time the rain finally stopped, I don't know if the rain finally stopped, or I walked out of the rain area, the scenery in front of me made Lu Ziming feel strange and uneasy, he actually walked to the edge of the desert, this is a yellow-brown sand and gravel land, there is not a trace of clouds in the sky, and behind him is a dark and dreary sky, did he go to the Gobi.

ps: In the next volume, the storyline and the feelings of the characters will go deeper, and the pit will continue to be dug and buried until the end of the story.
