Chapter 18: The Wolves
The caravan moved slowly, and the bantam horses pulling the cart tried to move forward, but although the heavy rain stopped, the muddy road did not dry so quickly, and each turn of the wheels of the carriage brought up a large lump of mud, making each step require greater effort.
Just after noon, all the bantams pulling the cart were already sweating through their fur, and even the snorts were tingling with a puff of air.
"Boss, you can't go on like this, I've only traveled more than ten miles in the morning, and the horses are already tired. The groom who led the caravan, nicknamed Lao Ma, was one of the best coachmen in Xicambu, and he told the owner of the caravan with a sad face, which made Crewe also start to worry, you must know that Xicambu is more than 300 miles from Waterdeep City!
"Let the convoy stop first, untie the horses, rest, and eat some grass. ”
The convoy slowly found a meadow on the side of the road and stopped, and several coachmen untied their beloved horses and pulled them to the meadow to eat, while Mark and his team began to scout the surroundings to ensure the safety of the convoy.
"Shavina, you go to the roof of the car, you can see farther away. Zhu Ba said in Shavina's mind.
"What about you?Guan Haifa?" Shavina began to care about Zhu Ba.
"I went to the bushes nearby to search for clues. Zhu Ba explained his whereabouts, so that Shavina did not have to worry about her safety. But Shavina still muttered in her heart.
"Okay, stay safe. ”
The soldiers were divided into two ways, Shavina tapped her toes, and she had already jumped to the top of the caravan carriage vigorously, and the fifth-level ranger already had a spell to assist reconnaissance: Night Stalker Perception. Attaching a night owl perception to herself, Savina, who felt more keenly, kept a close eye on her surroundings.
Zhu Ba jumped out of the carriage and quickly ran towards the surrounding bushes, and he began to patrol in a circle, gradually expanding the range.
The energy is slowly sent out from the hexagonal crystal, moisturizing Zhu Ba's bones and muscles, so that Zhu Ba will always be energetic, in fact, the gods don't need to sleep, every day when Shavina is asleep, if it is in the wild, Zhu Ba will keep watch and keep vigil, if it is in the hotel, Zhu Ba is to study the crystal chip in the brain and the crystal disc in the abdomen, but there is no gain so far.
The rest was soon over, the dwarf was reined again, and everyone got into the carriage again and began to move forward.
"Shavina, have you found anything?" Back in the car, Zhu Ba asked Shavina.
"No, there is not a single animal in the whole meadow and bush. Sha Weina said with a frown, and then asked Zhu Ba rhetorically.
"That's right, it means that the wolves have been following us, and the little animals here are frightened by the breath of the wolves and the canine demons, and they don't drive out to move. Zhu Ba analyzed confidently.
Then, Zhu Ba raised his paw cheaply, "However, this is the most perfect evidence." ”
In the cracks of Zhu Ba's claws, wisps of wolf black-gray thick and hard long hair were sandwiched there.
------------------ the dividing line of the rush--------------
It is getting farther and farther away from Xicambu, the road has been dry under the increasingly fierce sun, and the dwarf ** can already move forward very briskly, and the crisp sound of hooves brings up bursts of flying dust.
Getting closer to the Adip Forest, the bushes on the roadside are getting higher and taller under the influence of the humid air of the bay. Even the howl of a wolf could already be heard in the distance, and although it was not a wolf, it was enough to make people nervous.
Zhu Ba had gone out to reconnoiter many times, and had found enough evidence that the wolves had been following the convoy. But the cunning dog demon never let Zhu Ba catch a wolf pack, which made Savina and Zhu Ba very nervous.
"Sure enough, a cunning demon, who didn't show a trace of his feet, where would he be waiting to attack this convoy?"
Zhu Ba and Sha Weina thought while on guard.
It's also getting closer to the Desha Glades, the only way to Waterdeep, and where Savina's lies are located.
"It's time for lunch! All the people are rest~"
According to the old rules, the caravan found a meadow where the horses could eat some grass to replenish their strength and save some fodder when they were resting and eating.
However, when the coachmen went to untie the reins of the horses, an accident happened.
The dwarfs' watery eyes suddenly turned red, and they raised their front hooves and kicked fiercely in the groom's chest or bit their master's throat with their usual forage-eating fangs.
This sudden attack seriously injured three grooms on the spot, and one groom was bitten directly by the throat, and he was not alive. Only the old horse escaped the doom. He asked another groom to help him untie the reins.
The priest in Mark's five-man squad went to rescue the injured under the protection of the others, while the mage in the team unleashed the sleep spell and put the dwarf ** into a deep sleep, these horses are still useful, what can they do without them?
"Attention everyone, the wolf is coming!"
Savina had jumped onto the roof of the carriage where the dog demon was being held, shouting loudly, alerting everyone.
In Shavina's shout, more than a dozen black-gray giant wolves with a length of nearly two meters and a height of about one meter jumped out of the bushes, led by a hybrid creature that looked like goblins and wolves with terrifying jaws and sharp claws, this is the dog demon.
--------------- dividing line for role transitions-------------
Inumo Yuka is very excited and proud, after arranging so many days and tracking for so many days, his plan has finally been implemented flawlessly, and he has caught these humans off guard, what a good plan!
"Humans, don't be afraid, I'm just looking for my companion, as long as you release him, then you can leave safely, or else. ”
The dog demon Yuka walked back and forth around the people who had tightly surrounded the wounded in the inner layer and had their backs to the carriage where Savina was, and as he spoke, suddenly his voice stopped, and the wolves that had surrounded them let out a low roar of intimidation!
"Otherwise, you'll just become lunch for my men!"
"But my caravan has only goblins, no companions of yours!" said old Krewe, the caravan, trembling in the encirclement.
"My companion is there!"
Yuka stretched out his slender claws, like goblin hand bones, and reached out towards the surrounded carriage.
Crewe immediately shuddered and took out the key, fumbling for the lock, gesturing to open it.
"No, how can you trust a demon's assurance, knowing that demons are chaotic and evil!" a sharp arrow shot down from the carriage, and Shavina shot the key in Crewe's hand to the ground.
"What then?" Crewe lowered his hand weakly.
"You have to hurry. My patience is limited!"
Inu Demon Yuka shouted excitedly outside the encirclement, he liked this kind of drama very much, and the infighting surrounded by strong enemies was really exciting.
Crewe didn't speak, but quickly picked up the key on the ground, inserted it into the keyhole, and opened the cage where the goblins were kept, and a dark goblin jumped out of it, and when it fell to the ground, it had transformed into its true form, a blue-skinned dog demon of Biyuka Xiaoshang No. 1.
"Haha, you've been fooled, wolves, let's start eating!~" Seeing that his kind was rescued, Yuka immediately excitedly ordered the wolves to attack, and a good show was about to be staged!
"What a stupid human, don't you say?" said Yuka, looking down at his fellow humans.
"Yes. The same kind of answer.
"No, it's not Ukka's voice. Yuka immediately heard the difference and dodged urgently, but it was too late.
"Uka is long dead, I'm just wearing his skin, stupid demon!" Zhu Ba raised his head, shook off the fur of the dog demon on his body, and pounced on the dog demon Yuka.
A pair of silver claws clawed across Yuka's chest, his throat, heart, and forelimbs all within the range of his attack!
