Chapter 43: Deep in the Forest
When Zhuang Meiyan heard the sound, she was immediately vigilant and turned her head to look. I saw a sika deer quietly parked in a clearing in front of me, the golden sunlight sprinkled on its two beautiful horns, the perfect lines forged by nature undulated like a mountain, smooth and free, and the torso was inlaid with a little snow petals.
The deer met her by chance in the woods, and looked at her with the same wariness. Zhuang Meiyan breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the deer seemed to have lived in the mountains for a long time, he thought he was the owner of the mountain forest, and when he saw that the living person did not turn around and run, but turned his head and looked at Zhuang Meiyan curiously. Zhuang Meiyan saw that it was docile, and for a moment became childlike, and slowly leaned forward, trying to caress the soft fur with a beautiful luster.
Zhuang Meiyan slowed down and moved as gently as possible, lest she alarm it. The deer, however, was so clever that he did not allow her to come near, but quickly moved two steps forward, stopped, and looked back at her curiously. Repeated like this several times, Zhuang Meiyan chuckled, this little naughty was actually playing with her!
The more he walked like this, the deeper he went into the forest, Zhuang Meiyan was still unconscious.
After a long time, the deer finally relaxed its vigilance, did not care about Zhuang Meiyan's existence, and ran alone to the mistletoe bushes to nibble on the spring shoots. Zhuang Meiyan held her breath, getting closer and closer, her heart couldn't help but pound, and there was an indescribable joy in her heart.
She stretched out her right hand, her fingers spread out, and the soft fur was within reach.
Suddenly--
Zhuang Meiyan just suddenly warned in her heart, in fact, her senses had not found anything abnormal, but the deer quickly slipped away from under her hand and rushed into the forest, almost at the same moment, Zhuang Meiyan's ears swept a huge wind sound, and rude gasps, a dark shadow shot towards the sika deer like lightning, and their shadows turned into wind and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.
Zhuang Meiyan looked worriedly in the direction they were heading, where only the broken branches showed the traces of their passing. She was slightly annoyed in her heart, if it weren't for her interference, the deer might have discovered that there was a beast lurking nearby, and she didn't know if it would have been able to escape.
She was frightened, her palms were unconsciously soaked with sweat, and she realized that she had entered the heart of the dense forest, and then she remembered the old hunter of the village who had warned that the beasts of prey had been hungry for a winter in the spring, and they were particularly fierce.
She turned, trying to hurry back the way she had come. However, when I turned around, I saw a pair of eyes.
The dark green eyes peeked at themselves quietly in the dark part of the forest. Zhuang Meiyan felt as if a small insect had crawled on her back, her pores were all open, and sweat was oozing out, stinging and painful, but she didn't dare to move a bit.
Even if Zhuang Meiyan rarely enters the deep mountains and old forests, even if Zhuang Meiyan has not participated in hunting, as long as he is a person with a little common sense, he should be able to think that at this time, those dark green eyes belong to a wild mountain wolf in the north, and it is a wild mountain wolf who has been hungry for a winter and has not officially eaten.
The Northland Wild Mountain Wolf is the most ferocious animal in the forests of Qiyang Mountain, with strong size, quick movements, and suspicious and cunning, often living in groups, not to mention Zhuang Meiyan is an unarmed weak woman, even the bravest hunters in the "Phoenix Nest" have to retreat when they see them.
At this time, Zhuang Meiyan was facing such a ferocious animal.
Before Poor Zhuang Meiyan could think about it, what could he do to escape this, the beast was already approaching, and bared its fangs menacingly, and its heavy aura rose and fell in the dark forest, perhaps, its accomplices were still hiding in the dark places.
Zhuang Meiyan closed her eyes in despair, only to hear the sound of the wind blowing, and her body was thrown to the ground. However, she didn't feel the pain of the claws piercing through the flesh, nor did she feel the horror of the sharp teeth tearing through the skin, and there was still a rapid gasp ringing in her ears, the rhythm was uneven, the thickness was uneven, and the heat that spewed out made her feel a sense of déjà vu.
She quickly opened her eyes.
Oh my God!
If she remembered correctly, this was the second time he had stood in front of him when danger was coming.
Xiaobai!
She exhaled weakly, and silently repeated the name in her mind, in fact she could only repeat it silently in her heart, and her whole body was almost collapsed, and she had no strength to speak.
The man didn't care about being polite, or the guy didn't have the concept of "politeness" in his head. He quickly pushed Zhuang Meiyan to the bushes to the side, and he turned over and tangled with the hungry wolf that pounced on him for the second time. Zhuang Meiyan struggled to get up, only to see the wolf pounce Xiaobai to the ground, his front paws stepped on Xiaobai's chest, his fangs were bared, and he desperately wanted to bite off Xiaobai's throat, but fortunately, Xiaobai stuck its neck to death, and one person and one wolf were in a stalemate.
Zhuang Meiyan's legs trembled, and she wanted to step forward to help Xiaobai, but she couldn't move a step, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry.
After a while, Xiaobai finally gathered his strength, kicked his legs hard, and kicked the wolf far away. In this battle, the wolf suffered a loss, his hind legs limped, and Xiaobai was not much better, his front shirt was torn, and his face, neck, and arms were covered with blood marks.
The greedy eyes of the mountain wolf scanned the two of them, although it suffered a loss, but it was still unwilling to give up the prey with a quick mouth, the wolf is cruel by nature, it is the most difficult type of all beasts, so the hunter is unwilling to fight with them, generally targeted by them, will not die. And wolves are vindictive, and if you kill their kind, then you don't want to set foot in the mountains and forests again, and they will wander in the mountains and forests all their lives, looking for traces of their enemies.
The wolf circled around them with bad intentions, but did not attack again, apparently looking for the best time. Xiaobai was short of breath, not daring to relax his vigilance at all, and his eyes always moved with the wolf's figure. Under such a confrontation, the two sides have always faced each other head-on, and there are no loopholes at all, but this is not a long-term solution after all.
Xiao Bai suddenly bowed down, roared, tore open the placket on his chest, revealing the wolf head tattoo on his chest, his expression instantly became fierce and strong, and a pair of bright eyes as clear as a lake were full of bloodshots, revealing a ruthlessness that Zhuang Meiyan had never seen before. Such a pair of ruthless eyes looked at the mountain wolf fiercely, and at the same time supported the ground with his arms, making a prostrate shape, and the tattoos on his chest looked even more hideous and terrifying, especially the wolf eyes inlaid with blood jade, the essence flowed, as if he was alive.
The mountain wolf was shocked by his momentum, and actually had the intention of retreating, Zhuang Meiyan somehow, only felt that Xiaobai seemed to be imitating the wolf's attack, his teeth were bared, and he even raised his neck like a wolf and roared loudly.
"Whew--whew!"
In the end, the figure of the mountain wolf finally retreated to a dark place, and Zhuang Meiyan watched the two points of dark green gradually shrink and finally disappear, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Zhuang Meiyan finally relieved herself, trembled and moved her body, and came to Xiaobai's side. Xiaobai still maintained that fierce posture, and the muscles of his body seemed to be stiff and motionless.
Zhuang Meiyan felt that he seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, and pushed him on the shoulder tremblingly.
"Small--white!"
The last word was squeezed in his throat and almost unrecognizable, Zhuang Meiyan stared at the face that was only an inch away from him with wide eyes, his reaction was amazing, he couldn't figure out what was going on, he was pressed under him, and a pair of hands stuck in his throat.
She looked at the murderous face in horror, her mind went blank, and her hands pushed in vain, to no avail.
She was already completely out of order, and suddenly shouted a word without thinking.
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, it's me, I'm a lady!"
