Chapter 418 [In the Wasteland] (II)

As the snow mastiff attacked, the two vultures in the air also swooped downward, and as predators, they could not let the green wolf take the lead under their noses.

The speed of the snow mastiff was obviously affected, and when it was still about five meters away from the antelope, the two vultures had already rushed to less than three feet away from the antelope, but they chose to give up when they were about to catch their prey, although the snow mastiff was fierce, but it was injured after all, and the ferocious and greedy vultures would not take it seriously.

What really made the vultures give up was because there were nearly twenty hungry wolves surrounded from the center from all sides, and they wanted to hunt more than just the fallen antelope.

The snow mastiff did not continue to hunt the antelope, it looked vigilantly at the hungry wolves running from the surroundings, the battle between them had been going on for a day and a night, the snow mastiff killed seventeen hungry wolves, these remaining predators obviously did not give up, they tracked all the way, the antelope was actually a bait they deliberately set up, using the antelope to lure the snow mastiff to appear, and then surround it.

In this battle, they want to kill the snow mastiff here.

The snow mastiff raised its huge head, the cold wind made its white hair rise and fall in the wind, and its blue-gray eyes revealed a bit of sadness and heroism, it knew that it was powerless to break through the encirclement of this group of wolves, and then it could only face the end of the battle, as long as there was a breath, it would fight to the end.

The snow mastiff let out a howl and charged towards the wolves. Twenty wolves surrounded the snow mastiff, and a fierce battle ensued on the wasteland.

The antelope tried its best to raise its head, it was no longer able to stand up, a pair of innocent eyes looked at the bloody battle in front of it with trepidation, a vicious wolf was bitten by the snow mastiff and fell hard in front of it, and when the wolf landed, there was already a bloody hole in the neck.

The snow-white body of the snow mastiff was surrounded by wolves, and the two vultures in the air did not fly far, they circled low, waiting for the end of this battle, for them today is a good day, no matter which side wins, they have a hearty meal to enjoy.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out in the wasteland, and a vicious wolf was shot in the eye, and its body that flew into the air fell heavily to the ground.

In the distance, a knight galloped on horseback, he carried the reins of his horse in one hand, and fired a gun with the other, and in an instant, six wolves were killed by the bullets. The snow mastiff had already fallen into the wind, all supported by will, but he didn't expect someone to suddenly help him at the moment of life and death, the snow mastiff lifted his spirits, bit the neck of the evil wolf who tried to attack him from the side, and bit off the wolf's cervical vertebrae with a little force.

The knight wore a mask, which could not only protect him from the cold but also the sand, and after the magazine was fired, he completed the replacement of the magazine with one hand, and then aimed at a wolf that turned around and pounced on him, and the bullet was fired into the wolf's mouth.

Most of the wolves had been lost, and the remaining wolves saw that the situation was not good, and immediately fled.

The snow mastiff was powerless to catch up, and after a few steps towards the antelope, it finally fell on the moor, and let out an unwilling low roar in its throat.

When the knight came to the snow mastiff, he did not rush to dismount, but raised his gun and fired a shot into the air, which was not aimed at the target, and the two vultures, which had been hovering in the air for a long time, were frightened by the sound of the gun, and flapped their wings and flew into the distance.

The knight turned over and dismounted, ripped off the black cloth on his face, he was the Luo Hunt who came to the West Sea to fulfill the covenant of the nine years of peace and wind Jiuqing, Luo Hunt left Huangpu and went southwest into Sichuan, and then entered the plateau through western Sichuan, the ultraviolet rays of the plateau made his skin tanned black, and his hair grew a lot, he didn't build a beard for a few days, and his cheeks were all beards like steel needles, and now Luo Hunt looks a little less bookish, but a little more rough.

Although several old friends wanted to accompany him, Luo Lie still declined their kindness and chose to come alone, nine years have made them change too much, everyone has become a family, most of them have children, Luo Lie doesn't want them to sacrifice their happiness and risk their lives with them.

Ye Qinghong made a request at the time of separation, she asked Luo Lie not to think about his family after leaving, only by devoting all his energy to his adventure, his hope of coming back safely will be greater, and the attachment and concern for the family will make Luo Lie fearful, and will make him hesitate when facing a life and death decision, but this hesitation may affect his judgment.

Along the way, Luo Lie looked up at the starry sky countless times, during this time he tried to forget everything he had before, trying to get used to loneliness, loneliness can calm him down.

Luo Lie looked at the snow mastiff covered in scaly wounds, he came to the antelope, the antelope was dead, Luo Hunt cut off a piece of meat from the antelope's body and put it in the snow mastiff's mouth, the snow mastiff swallowed hard, Luo Lie began to treat the wounds for the snow mastiff, although the snow mastiff was covered in scaly wounds, there was no fatal wound, it was just too tired, and it had not eaten for several days, and it had just experienced a battle of life and death, and was exhausted.

According to Luo Lie's original plan, he would camp and rest at dusk, but he decided to advance, if he left now, the snow mastiff would probably die because he was not cared for.

Luo Hunt lit a bonfire next to the snow mastiff, then set up a tent, and sure enough, the two vultures went and returned, this time not the two of them, and recruited six more companions.

After Luo Lie fed the snow mastiff, he also ate some dry food, found out the map, and estimated his distance from the West Sea, and he would be able to reach the West Sea smoothly in ten days. His mount was a black horse, and the horse seemed to be a little afraid of the snow mastiff, hiding under the grassy knoll in the distance and grazing on hay.

The snow mastiff rested for a while, regained some energy, and slowly came to the dead antelope and began to continue gnawing.

The law of the jungle is no longer strange, the antelope is dead, but the snow mastiff is still alive, and only by relying on the flesh and blood of the antelope can it survive in this cold wasteland.

After the snow mastiff was full, he limped into the distance, and Luo Lie did not stay, watching the figure of this proud creature disappear into the sky at sunset.

Luo Lie decided to continue to set off tomorrow morning, the night fell unconsciously, looking at the stars on the plateau had an illusion of being within reach, Luo Lie couldn't help but think of his wife and children, he quickly drove his thoughts out of his mind, the more worries in his heart, the less courage he had. This adventure was unlike anything else before, and Luo Lie even felt that he might never be able to return. Ye Qinghong should have felt this, so she insisted on not shedding tears in front of her, so she said that if she didn't go back in three months, she would take her children to the United States.

When Luo Hunt was about to go to sleep, he saw a white shadow in the distance approaching the camp, it turned out that the snow mastiff had gone and returned, it came to the campfire and curled up and lay down, it seemed that it could not find a suitable place, and returned to the campfire to enjoy the warmth.

Waking up early in the morning, the snow mastiff still didn't go, Luo Hunt put away the camp, turned over and got on the horse, the horse galloped westward, ran out of a distance, Luo Hunt looked back, but saw the snow mastiff limping behind, but its injuries affected its speed, and the distance between Luo Hunt became farther and farther.

Luo Lie slowed down the horse's speed so that the snow mastiff would not follow so hard, and the snow mastiff followed all the way, and after it recovered from its injury, it did not leave, obviously taking Luo Lie as its master. With this snow mastiff with him, Luo Hunt also found that it added a lot of convenience, at least he no longer worries about hunting, the snow mastiff will always catch prey such as yellow sheep and hares, and every time it will bring the prey back to Luo Hunt intact, waiting for Luo Hunt to distribute it before eating.

By the time he came to the West Sea, the snow mastiff had fully recovered from his injuries. Luo Lie came to Tianma Bay, but found that Tianma Bay was very different from when he came over nine years ago, a military camp was built on the ruins of the ancient city of Tianma Bay, this military camp was Ma Yuliang's troops, stationed a thousand people. There is also a small pier in Tianma Bay, equipped with five gunboats.

Luo Lie used a telescope to observe the scene of Tianma Bay on the sand hill southwest of the barracks, and drew a map of the barracks with a pencil on paper while observing.

When Luo Hunt was busy, the snow mastiff screamed vigilantly, Luo Hunt reached out and patted the snow mastiff's head, signaling it to calm down, and at this time he saw a person not far away leading a horse towards him.

Luo Lie recognized that the person was Feng Jiuqing, and Feng Jiuqing smiled and nodded at him, which was regarded as a greeting.

Luo Lie said: "I thought you wouldn't come. ”

Feng Jiuqing said: "Of course you don't want me to come, if I don't show up, you can go back to reunite with your family, right?"

Luo Lie handed her the binoculars and said, "The barracks and docks, is there anyone else who knows about Jiuding?"

Feng Jiuqing said: "It's me who revealed the news." ”

Luo Lie was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Feng Jiuqing must have done this on purpose.

Feng Jiuqing said: "Ma Yuliang is very greedy, he heard that there is treasure under the water, so he will not hesitate to move the people to come to hunt for treasures, he has been tossing in Tianma Bay for a year, I let him find some treasures, if he doesn't taste the sweetness, how can he spend so much money?"

Luo Lie said: "You want to use him." ”

Feng Jiuqing said: "In addition to the five gunboats you saw, he also purchased a submarine, and it is that submarine that we want to use." ”

Luo Lie said: "Do you know the specific location of Jiuding?"

Feng Jiuqing said: "Between the water and clouds, the West Sea opens, Jiuding is now, and heaven and man come to ......"

Luo Lie frowned and said, "When?"

Feng Jiuqing said: "Three days, after three days, we will explore the West Sea again!"

Feng Jiuqing's grasp of the celestial phenomena was extremely accurate, and after three days, the clouds were overcast, and the dark clouds hung low to the surface of the water as if they had been filled with lead, and from a distance, it was as if they had been pulled into the water by an invisible hand. It was just past noon, and the sky had already darkened, as if the night had suddenly fallen.
