Volume 1, Ming Chronicle Seventy-four, Wolves
The caravan rushed during the day, and when it encountered a small town or a village along the way, it would stop to buy or sell some goods, and it only drove more than 100 miles after a few days.
On the carriage, Li Shi asked, "Brother Qin, is it safe to travel this way?" ”
"Well, this is still within the power of the Aoki Immortal Gate, and I will know it after the old brother of Mizuki City." Qin Chen didn't want to say more, thinking about the Black Tiger Bandit he met last time, he was still afraid of himself.
Fortunately, it was sunny for a few days, and the weather was not very hot in the spring, and a slightly wider official road curved into a large mountain in front of it, and the dense trees obscured the sky.
The caravan stopped in front of the mountain, and the captain of the guard, Liu Hai, walked to the middle of the convoy and shouted: "Brothers, I am about to enter this Ten Thousand Wolf Mountain now, and the journey of about three hundred miles is a little dangerous, so cheer me up." ”
It was getting dark in the jungle very quickly, and it was a mountain that had been entered early in the morning, but in less than eight hours, the official road in the forest had become dark, and a slightly wide place was found, where the caravan planned to camp for the night. But that night was nothing.
After another day, before camping, bangs shouted loudly:
"Brothers, listen to me, last night because I just entered the mountain, the place is safer, tonight is different, although there are no bandits, but almost every time in this mountain will encounter wolves, from time to time there will be deaths and injuries, so tonight everyone should be vigilant, when the time is injured, don't blame me for not reminding."
Then he arranged for everyone to form a protective circle with a carriage, protect the horses, and told the vigil not to doze off, because there were so many mosquitoes in the mountains and forests that everyone was bitten and irritable.
From time to time, the campfire crackled and burst into a burst of sparks, and after a day's walk in the mountains, everyone was exhausted, and the few who kept vigil sat on the edge and fell asleep.
Li Shi took out a few animal skin bags from the ring and walked to sit down opposite the bangs: "Brother Liu, do you want to take two sips?" It's my own secret brew. As he spoke, he picked up the leather bag and took a sip, and suddenly the clear aroma of wine spread.
Liu Hai saw that Li Shi had drunk it, snatched the leather bag in his hand and said, "Thank you, brother, I'll drink this." He took a sip at the moment, let out a long breath, squinted his eyes and whispered, "Strong enough, good wine." He thumped his chest as he spoke.
Li Shi is not hypocritical, knowing that these people go out all the year round, they have to guard against it: "Brother Liu, do you often take this road?" ”
"Well, there are three or four times a year, rest assured that I have walked this road hundreds of times, nothing serious, unlike other places, there are thieves. The most you can do here is a pack of wolves. Bangs thought he was scared and comforted at the moment.
"I'm not afraid! Brother Liu, it's okay now, tell me about the fun things you encountered? ”
"There's nothing to say, it's mostly some things like licking blood from the knife edge and accidentally losing your head, what is there to say."
Hearing this, Li Shi's ears moved, and his spiritual sense swept: "I really said that Cao Cao Cao will arrive." "A few miles away, a white-haired wolf king is rushing towards this side with a pack of more than a hundred green-haired wolves, and it will be here in just a few minutes.
It's really good at picking the time, this moment is the darkest time before dawn, he laughed: "Brother Liu, what should I do if I encounter wolves?" ”
"What else can I do, kill the wolves when I encounter them, and I can't escape if I can't kill them." Bangs replied.
Li Shi took a sip of wine and threw the empty leather bag out casually.
The leather bag flashed a faint glimmer of light, flew out for miles, and smashed on the top of the head of a galloping green wolf. The green wolf screamed, his brain burst out, and the huge wolf body smashed down, stirring up a large piece of rubble, and died of convulsions.
The screams were particularly clear in the night, and Liu Hai stood up abruptly and shouted, "Get up! Get up! Get up! ! There are wolves! ”
At this moment, the white-haired wolf king saw that his subordinates were dead, and let out a roar, and then there was an endless roar. Speed towards the caravan camp.
Everyone heard the screaming sound of the patch, their faces instantly turned pale, and Liu Hai looked around at everyone and said: "Listen to this cry, I'm not afraid that there are hundreds of heads, everyone cheer up, don't think about running, we can't outrun the wolves, only fight to the death." ”
"And it's almost dawn, just hold on until dawn, and then the wolves will retreat."
There were about fifty people in the caravan, only twenty of the guards had blades, and the rest of the caravans took up wooden sticks and other weapons to defend.
Qin Chen stepped forward with a machete in his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, try your best to defend, it will be dawn soon." It will be safe then. ”
"Yes, don't be afraid, I can treat everyone if you are injured, as long as you survive for a while." Li Shi said.
In the middle of the circle formed by the carriage, the horses were restless and restless, neighing constantly, and the fiery red bonfire reflected the green eyes of the wolves, which was very penetrating, and everyone in the caravan could be regarded as having traveled south and north for so many years, and now seeing so many wolves, many people were also frightened, and the weapons in their hands were not stable.
"So much, what should we do, we are dead, we would not have taken this trip if we knew it. It's obsessive. ”
"It's not your fault, I came by pulling me hard, it's okay now, everyone is going to die here, if there is a next time, I won't be with you again."
"Shut up Lao Tzu, make a noise, have the strength to be noisy, it's better to think about how to drag it out until dawn."
Whoa, a green wolf jumped forward, only to see a cyan phantom pounce on the bangs, bah, exhaled, he stepped forward and cut through the air with the machete in his hand, and a white light slashed towards the green wolf.
With a pop, wolf blood spurted all over him, the wolf's head fell to the ground, and he kicked the wolf away.
Then he jumped up one after another and pounced on everyone.
I saw Liu Hai raise and fall with a knife, and in a few moments, he killed three or four green wolves. The rest of the guards also came out with all means. The dozen or so wolves that rushed over were all slaughtered.
Seeing that his subordinates were suffering heavy casualties, the white-haired wolf king roared, and more than a dozen rushed up, a white shadow flashed, but the white wolf king was hiding behind a green wolf.
A knife slashed to kill the green wolf that rushed up, and when the bangs were exhausted, the white shadow appeared in front of him, and a paw was pulled into his face.
He didn't have time to draw his sword, so he had to block it horizontally, and with a bang, his claws hit the single knife, making a sound of gold and iron intersecting, and he took a few steps back, knocking down several caravan members behind him, and at the moment from the people like rolling gourds, several people were entangled and fell together.
Seeing that the bangs fell to the ground, the white wolf turned around and pounced on Qin Chen, slashed the wolf's head in front of him with a knife, and slashed at the shoulder blade of the white wolf who rushed over with a backhand, the blade entered the flesh a few inches, but it was a loss of strength, and the blade could not move.
Whew, it screamed, a claw flew the machete, jumped up, opened its big mouth and bit at Qin Chen's neck, under the bonfire, Bai Sensen's teeth flashed with cold light.
Qin Chen shouted in his heart, my life is on hold, only to feel a strong wind blowing, and the wolf king flew upside down and smashed heavily into the forest.
When he came back to his senses, he grabbed the machete that fell on it, and killed the wolves again.
Bangs quickly got up, raised a knife and stepped forward to kill between the wolves that jumped over, the white wolf got up and fled back to the wolves, and a green wolf stepped forward to lick the wounds on its body, but was knocked away by its paws.
At that moment, he raised his head and howled, and the wolves behind him howled in unison, which immediately frightened the birds and beasts in the jungle. The white wolf kept howling, and the green wolf behind him bowed his waist and turned into a green shadow and rushed towards the caravan.
