Chapter Forty-Eight: Wolves at Night
A small bonfire burned on the Gobi at night, and Dugu Yi and Yiqian, who had been traveling for a day, were sitting next to it at this time. Dugu Yi was originally reluctant to do such an extremely exposed thing, but in order to prevent Yiqian's weak body from being exposed to the wind and cold, he could only light a bonfire.
"Xiao Yi, who are you?" Yi Qian looked at Dugu Yi on the other side of the bonfire, and pressed the question in his heart for a whole day, and now he finally had the opportunity to ask.
"I ......" Dugu Yi stopped as soon as he said the word, not because he didn't want to answer, but because he didn't know how to answer. Before he met Qin Qin, he was just an ordinary beggar who could be seen everywhere; but when he looked back, he was not born a beggar; he became a beggar after his mother left and his father died tragically; so why did his mother leave, why did his father die tragically, and what was the curse in his right eye? Dugu Yi thought a lot at this moment, but these were all thought about before, and there was no answer, so now he could only turn into a weak sigh: "I, who am I?"
"Xiao Yi?" Yi Qian also saw the bitterness and confusion on Dugu Yi's face at this time, so although the doubts in her heart added another layer, she didn't ask anything.
"Once, I knew who I was. Dugu Yi raised his hand and touched the blindfold on his face, and then said, "But now, I really don't know who I am. ”
"If you don't know, you don't know. Yiqian walked up to Dugu Yi and squatted down, comforting: "As long as you live well, who you are may not matter so much." ”
Dugu Yi shook his head slightly, but did not speak.
Yi Qian sighed softly in her heart, looked up at the dark surroundings, and asked with some concern: "Is this bonfire, is it really okay?" Not to mention the Zhao family's pursuers, even the Yuan Beast will be attracted by this firelight." ”
"If it's just a primordial beast, there shouldn't be a problem?" Dugu Yi said uncertainly, turning to look at the colorful bird. The fourth-order primordial beast Shadow Tiger can only obediently listen to its words, so the first-order primordial beast wind sand wolf living on this Gobi should not be among them, right?
"Boom!" the colorful bird tilted its head and patted its chest.
"What do you mean 'should be fine'?" Yi Qian stood up very excitedly and was about to put out the fire, she didn't see the movement of the colorful bird at all, but even if she saw it, she shouldn't take it seriously, what can a bird with a big palm do? Although it is smart and can communicate with people, Yi Qian also thinks that this is something that Dugu Yi has been trained by.
"......" Dugu Yi stood up and wanted to stop Yi Qian, but out of the corner of his eye, he first swept dozens of torches cruising in the Gobi like long snakes, and the 'snake head' was only seven or eight miles away from them, and they should have heard the sound of horses' hooves, but because the two of them were only thinking about their own thoughts before, they ignored the surroundings.
"Let's go. Dugu Yi shouted, jumped to the horse, and began to untie the reins.
Hearing Dugu Yi's exclamation, Yi Qian turned her head to look in the direction that Dugu Yi had looked at before, and also saw a row of torches; although I don't know if she really said it, was it the people of the Zhao family who chased after her overnight? But she didn't dare to stay longer, came to Dugu Yi's side, took the reins from him and climbed on the horseback.
"Drive!"
The two whips were waved at the same time, and the two horses, who had not rested enough, began to gallop again in the night.
"Are there any primordial beasts around here, can you let them stop those people?" Dugu Yi on the galloping horse turned his head to look at the colorful bird flying beside him.
"Qiang Qiang!" the colorful bird seemed to say, 'I'll go and see' and flew away from Dugu Yi.
Although Yiqian was not far away from Dugu Yi, she didn't hear what Dugu Yi said to the colorful bird because of the whirring wind ringing in her ears.
Although it was a moonless night, those who pursued them also saw two figures fleeing from the campfire, so their mounts were forced to speed up by the frequent whiplash of their horses.
The people in the rear suddenly accelerated, and Dugu Yi was more sure that the other party's target was him and Yi Qian, but although he knew that the Zhao family would inevitably chase after him, he didn't expect that so many people would be sent this time, and the number of people chasing behind him at this time was more than half a hundred.
"Xiao Yi!" Yi Qian glanced back at the pursuers who were getting closer and closer behind her, and shouted to Dugu Yi: "Let's run away separately, if this continues, both of us will be caught up by them." ”
"It's useless. Dugu Yi immediately replied.
Yi Qian didn't know, she just wanted to lure away the pursuers by herself, so that Dugu Yi could escape, so she didn't listen to Dugu Yi's words, and left towards Dugu Yi's left front as soon as she pulled the reins.
"It may not do much, but I hope Xiao Yi can escape. Yi Qian turned around at the moment of leaving, and showed a bright smile to Dugu Yi.
"You ......" Dugu Yi didn't know whether to be angry or angry, gritted his teeth, and pulled the reins urgently.
"Xiao Yi!" Yi Qian was also angry when she saw Dugu Yi chasing after her, which not only made her kindness in vain, but also made the pursuers closer to the two of them, and now they can see their faces under the torches clearly.
"Why ......" Before Qian'er's reproachful words could be spoken, a dark shadow flashed past her with a strong gust of wind.
"Whew!" "Whew!", "......"
Before Yi Qian came back to her senses, a few more black shadows flashed and pounced straight towards the torch snake.
"What's that?" Yiqian's eyes looked over in confusion, and when she saw the black shadow clearly, the confusion in her eyes instantly turned into horror.
"Yuan Beast...... Wind Sand Wolf!"
Five unusually burly wind sand wolves were rushing towards more than fifty people behind them with the momentum of the wind, and behind them there were wolves composed of nearly a hundred ordinary beast wolves, such a huge wolf pack had already made Yi Qian frightened, but what surprised her was that these wolves seemed to not see her, her mounts had already stopped in fright, and the wolves walked around without looking at her.
"Found it!" Duguyi's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little at this time.
"Qiang Qiang!" the colorful bird fell triumphantly from the sky, and Dugu Yi raised his hand to catch the colorful bird.
"Wolf...... Wolves!"
When the wolves appeared, everyone on the Zhao family's side was already panicked, five wind sand wolves were equivalent to five first-level martial artists, and that was still limited to the lowest-level Yuan Beast, but the current leader was already a second-order Yuan Beast no matter how you looked at it, and the second-order Yuan Beast already had the strength of a human martial sect.
Among the fifty people in the Zhao family, the highest martial artist is only a fourth-level martial artist, although there are more than ten other martial artists, but fifty people have no chance of winning against this huge wolf pack.
"Quick, go. One shouted in a panic, and then turned his horse's head and fled.
When others saw this, they naturally followed suit, but ......
"Whoa......" When the second-order wind sand wolf let out this howl, there was already a corpse lying under its sharp claws.
At this time, not only the other four sand wolves approached the Zhao family, but also those ordinary wolves were close to them, and without the slightest pause, they pounced on the horses or humans, and then, a wail and scream pierced the quiet night sky.
"This ...... That's what it called?"
Yi Qianmu turned her head and looked at the colorful bird on Dugu Yi's arm, and her blank mind had no ability to think at this time.
"Hmm!" Dugu Yi nodded lightly and said, "Let's go." ”
"Oh...... Oh good. ”
Yi Qian nodded in response, but waited until Dugu Yi had already walked up before she waved her horsewhip and looked at the human-wolf battlefield behind her from time to time.
"How did it do it?"
"It, maybe it's a high-level primordial beast, right?" Dugu Yi looked down at the colorful bird and said to Yi Qian: "I also met it ten days ago, so I don't know much about it. ”
"Uh!" Yi Qian looked at Dugu Yi and the colorful bird standing majestically on the horse's head in amazement. I secretly asked again in my heart: Who is this young man, and what kind of primordial beast is this colorful bird?
