After Mo He and his entourage of five people left the boundary of Youmai Village, they headed south. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the way, I passed through several villages, but did not stop, and when the sun went down, I could no longer see other travelers and villages.

It is surrounded by a muddy, open marshland, sparsely wooded, some with a lot of reeds, and the fog of the late evening, which is difficult to spot if there are dangerous predators hiding here.

Because the road was not easy to walk, Mo He and Ren both got down to push the cart, and the eighth master put Sha Anna on his horse and let him lead the way.

Ah Fu controlled the direction of the carriage and proceeded so slowly that when the moon rose, everyone had not left the muddy swamp.

The environment here is humid, foggy, and the birds and beasts are cooing, making it an ideal place to rest overnight.

But as far as the eye could see, it was foggy and dark, so Ah Fu took the pine juice torch he had prepared in advance, wrapped one of them in hay, lit it with flint and steel, and then set fire to the other two that he had taken out.

The eighth master took one and put Shaanna back on the horse into the carriage, and then handed the horse to Wren.

Wren took one, took the reins of the horse handed over by the eighth master, and went to the front to explore the way.

Mo He took off the small shield on his arm and handed it to Sha Anna to protect himself, he took one, carried the silver iron gun placed on the cart, no longer assisted in the cart, and walked behind the carriage by himself.

Flutter - the sound of several large black birds flapping their wings and flying.

Then Wren's voice came: "Everyone, pay attention! There are several animal carcasses here, they have just died, and the murderer may still be nearby." ”

Wren's torch did not continue to advance, and after waiting for Ah Fu's carriage and Mo He and the others to come together, he saw the corpses of three short-haired animals within the light range of the torches, and looked at the antlers on his head, and could tell how many deer they were.

Mo He walked over and squatted down with Wren to inspect the animal's corpse, and found that there were traces of birds and beasts biting on the corpse, and the fatal injury was the neck, which was bitten by some powerful animal, and then the stomach was hollowed out, the smell of internal organs was still very fresh, and the time of death was not too long.

From the fact that the carcasses of the three deer were two or three meters apart, so close, they should have been rounded up by several beasts.

The two separated and searched for a while near the carcass of the deer, and it was easy to spot the tracks of some wild beasts.

Mo He didn't have the ability to identify animals by looking at footprints, but Wren used to hunt a lot, and he learned some skills to distinguish the footprints of wild beasts.

Wren felt that these were large wolf-footed beasts, with footprints similar to wolf claws, but much larger than ordinary wolves, and judging from the size and shape of the footprints, there were at least four such beasts hunting these deer.

Mo He looked back in the direction of the eighth master and said loudly: "Large wolf-footed beasts, more than four, everyone should be vigilant at all times." ”

Knowing that there were dangerous beasts nearby, Wren still led the horse to explore the way ahead, while the eighth master got out of the carriage and walked on the right side of the carriage, and Mo He was on the left side of the carriage.

Babbling

The surrounding reeds and grass are full of insect chirping, and there is no sound of birds and beasts.

It was so quiet! It seemed that the carriage was creaking and rolling, and the sound of walking on the muddy road was too loud.

The night wind rustled the reeds and the flames of the three torches, and by the flickering light, you could see the road under your feet, but it was difficult to make out from five meters away.

What's it? What's staring at you. Mo He felt something unusual.

He looked at the eighth master and Sha Anna next to the eighth master, neither of them noticed him, nor did he make any special moves.

Could it be that the beast only stares at itself, or does the eighth master and Sha Anna not have as keen senses as themselves.

Rustling, there was movement, behind him, some distance, the sound was very weak, mixed with the sound of the surrounding night wind blowing the reeds, it was not obvious.

Mo He was very sure that he heard the voice, was it a beast, or a small animal, or something else?

"Eighth Master, do you hear that? Just now, there was a noise seven or eight meters behind him. Mo He whispered to the eighth master.

"I noticed. It's okay. We concentrate on our journey. The eighth master touched Shaanna, and the little guy was turning his head to look behind the carriage.

The fog around him was getting thicker and thicker, and he could no longer see Wren's figure clearly, only a mist illuminated by the firelight.

"Wren, wait for us where you are, we can't see you. Mo He shouted to stop Wren.

"Okay! I'm in good condition here. Wren heard Mo He's voice and responded, and the bright mist that represented the position he had prescribed stopped moving.

Ah Fu looks silly and stupid, but he is not small. In such a situation, he did not look around in fear, nor did he nervously talk to everyone to distract him.

He just concentrated on controlling the carriage, careful not to let it deviate from the traces of his predecessors.

The road is usually less traveled, with people crossing nearby villages, and a few others harvesting the bog's produce at other times.

If you want to get to Blade Mountain in three days, this is the only shortcut, and you have to cross this area, otherwise it is really not the first way to travel.

"Ah Fu, do you know how long we have to walk before we leave this place?" Mo He asked Ah Fu.

"There should be another hour before you can get out. Ah Fu was still concentrating on catching the car, and said to Mo He without looking back.

It is time to find a place to rest in the afternoon, and it is really unwise to travel in the wilderness at night, if it is not suitable for camping, Mo He would not have planned to take such a risky journey.

From time to time, the strange thing he was staring at appeared behind him, and he was now sure that something must be following him, but he never showed up.

It was still the same all around, and I don't know where the reeds were hiding the predators.

Catching up with Wren who was waiting, his linen cloak had been taken off, and he was completely naked in bright armor, holding a shield in one hand and a torch in the other. The sword was still stuck behind the shield.

The horse didn't need a leash, it followed Wren himself.

Poof

The horse suddenly snorted and appeared a little restless. The horses of the carriage were similarly uneasy, and Ah Fu whipped again and again, and only then did it reluctantly move a few paces, and then stopped.

Ah Fu didn't whip again, and he also felt something strange.

Horses restless or standing in the wild can only mean one thing: there are dangerous predators around.

Wren handed the torch to Ah Fu, and Mo He also handed the torch to Sha Anna, and the eighth master held the torch in his left hand and the staff in his right.

"Be careful. It's coming!" The Eighth Master shouted a warning as he swung his staff, and three ice crystal spikes shot backwards, sending out a pig howl in a reed grass behind him.

The eighth master's attack was like a signal flare for attacking, and the grass in the rear and on the left and right were ringing, and it was impossible to see what was approaching because of the thick fog.

A thought flashed through Mo He's mind, and a beast with a pig's head and a wolf's body rushed out of the fog, revealing its original form under the light of several torches—it was the demon wolf pig he had encountered before.

Mo He hurriedly held the silver iron spear that had already secretly carried its internal strength with both hands, and stabbed it diagonally towards the beast that rushed over.

This guy doesn't hide, he bows his head and arches. But he underestimated the power of this gun and stabbed it to the side.

The demon wolf pig tossed with its front feet, kneeling in the muddy ground and making a loud noise, but it did not fall.

This one is not as big as the one I had encountered before, only as tall as a calf, but it is already a big guy for the size of a person.

On Wren's side, the sound of the shield being hit by a heavy object sounded, and there was a muffled bang, and he had already begun to engage the enemy.

Just when Mo He was about to give another shot to the kneeling demon wolf pig, another bigger figure pounced, the fishy wind was already close in front of him, Mo He hurriedly lowered his body, and at the same time withdrew the silver iron gun in front of his head.

The black shadow pressed down heavily, knocking Mo He backwards through the silver iron spear, and his back hit the wheel of the carriage heavily.

Mo He's arm muscles tightened, and he endured the pain in his back and pushed the black shadow away.

People got up immediately, and they didn't dare to be sloppy in their hands, and they were lucky, and the dancing sticks became flowers.

Bang bang bang - three muffled sounds of iron rods smashing fur, and the blade of the silver iron spear slammed down on his own black shadow.

The black shadow snorted a few times, and it was indeed painful to be beaten.

Mo He didn't stop, chasing the black shadow that was beaten back to the outside of the car, spun around quickly, and gave the head of the silver iron gun to the black shadow with a return shot.

The Shadow Pig howled and retreated into the fog.

Mo He didn't chase the black shadow who escaped, the head of the gun was turned, and Lun Cheng's windmill hit the head of the demon wolf pig who was kneeling on the ground before.

Let it just pull its feet out of the mud and lie down in the muddy ground.

On the big eyes of the demon wolf pig, which were illuminated by the firelight, a silver spear stabbed at it at an incredible speed, and the head of the spear pierced into the head of the demon wolf pig with a pop.

The entire demon wolf pig's body twitched and writhed like a convulsion, and the body fell into the muddy ground.

Finally got one.

Mo He withdrew the silver iron spear from the eye socket of the demon wolf pig, did not dare to be careless, put the gun on his back, and defended against the attacker who appeared at any time with the posture of a blind snake spitting out letters.

Wren hadn't gotten up since he was knocked to the ground by the demon wolf pig, he was wearing armor, and he was crushed by a huge beast, and he couldn't get up at all.

But fortunately, the armor and shield on his body protected the vital points on his body very well.

Neither the wolf claws nor the sharp fangs in the pig's head did any damage to Wren, so he lay down in the mud and stabbed the side of the wolf pig with his sword.

The Demon Wolf Pig was in pain, stopped attacking, and took advantage of this gap, Wren pushed the shield hard, and lifted the Demon Wolf Pig aside.

Just as he was about to get up, when he bumped into it, another demon wolf pig jumped out and pressed Wren.

Wren found that the sword attack could not penetrate the bodies of these beasts, so he let go of the hand holding the sword and the shield, grabbed the long fangs on the outside of the demon wolf's pig's mouth with his left hand, clenched his right hand into a fist, and beat the pig head of the demon wolf pig with a series of violent fists through the metal guard on his hand.

Wren grabbed the long fangs of the demon wolf pig and smashed the demon wolf pig's head with one punch after another.

Although the Demon Wolf Pig's body defense is very good, it does not mean that its head is not afraid of being smashed, it twists its head and drags Wren's body from side to side, but Wren just doesn't let go.

When the Demon Wolf Pig raised his head, Wren's entire body was lifted, and due to the slippery mud and water, the Fang of the Demon Wolf Pig finally broke free from Wren's control.

Wren, who was half-up, slammed his jaw at the demon wolf pig, and then hurriedly fumbled for the shield and sword beside him.
