I thought to myself, it's funny to be attacked by wolves when I came to Rouran! I was in the carriage at the time, how did I not know that there was such a thing! Moreover, even if they encountered a pack of wolves, their hundred carefully selected guards at that time were still afraid of wolves!

A gentle man next to me was quite unconvinced when he saw me mocking them, and said:

"Your Royal Highness! There are many wolves on the grassland, we are not afraid of wolves, but the last time we encountered it was not an ordinary wolf, but a group of giant wolves, do you know why the captain of the guard, General Tebilie, was injured, it was he who led people to lure away the giant wolf, we can escort you away, Captain Tebilie He is the strongest warrior of the Rouran clan. ”

At this time, the eldest brother, who had been sitting on the side and had not spoken, suddenly asked me: "Sister! Do you remember your father's favorite leather suit? ”

I was puzzled for a moment and nodded: "Of course I remember, my father always wore that leather coat in winter!" It looks like it was made of a whole piece of animal skin! ”

The eldest brother sighed and said, "That's a wolf skin!" ”

I was taken aback and exclaimed, "Wolf skin?!" How can it be? "I can't believe it when I hear my eldest brother say this! My father was a burly man, and he wanted to make a leather coat for him out of a whole animal skin, unless it was a cowhide, and now the eldest brother actually said that it was made of a wolf skin, how big should that wolf be?

At this time, even the Rouran people on the side no longer eat roast mutton, and they all looked at the eldest brother!

The eldest brother picked up the water bladder, drank a sip of mare's milk wine, and sighed: "Ayimu! Mu Gu Lu didn't lie to you! In this vast grassland and Gobi, there are really giant wolves! And I'm afraid there's something more terrible than a giant wolf! ”

I was inexplicably scared in my heart, and I knew that my brother would not lie to me, so I couldn't help but ask, "You mean that you have not only encountered a giant wolf, but also encountered a demon beast that is more terrifying than a giant wolf?" ”

The eldest brother nodded, was silent for a moment, and said, "That was two years ago!" Father took me and your second brother to fight with the Rouran army, due to the unfavorable war, we were forced to retreat into the valley of death, this valley of death is located at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, perhaps because of the abundant snow and water flowing down the Tianshan Mountain, so the valley of death is lush with vegetation, but whether it is in Loulan or Rouran since ancient times, there are monsters in the valley of death, once people and animals enter the valley, there is no entry and no life, so the valley of death has always been a forbidden place for herdsmen in the two countries, Rouran and Loulan do not dare to enter the valley easily. At that time, my father and several generals thought that we had 5,000 men and horses, and even if there were really man-eating monsters in Death Valley, we could deal with them, not to mention that the mountains in this Death Valley were steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the vegetation was lush, and there was a water source, we could hold on to the valley and wait for reinforcements, which was better than the annihilation of the whole army! ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask, "Why have I never heard you mention it to your father?" ”

"My father can be said to have been a fiasco in that battle, and less than 5,000 of our 10,000 horses in Loulan went back in the end, and one of my father's most relied on henchmen was also sacrificed in that battle to save him, so it can be said that it was the eternal pain in my father's heart! How could we still talk to you about this when we come back! My father often wears that wolf skin coat not because he likes it so much, but because he always reminds himself that he will not forget the shame and avenge the soldiers who died in that battle! So Mukuya will negotiate peace with them later, don't say that my father doesn't agree, and your second brother and I won't agree either!

The eldest brother looked at the fire with a gloomy expression and fell silent, I knew that he must have thought of his father and second brother again, and his heart was also full of pain.

"General Dorey, did you really encounter a giant wolf after entering Death Valley? Is there an even more terrifying monster? Loulan Rensheluna's words broke the silence.

The eldest brother continued: "After we entered the Valley of Death, in fact, we didn't encounter anything unusual at first, the army camped in the mountains, and set up an ambush at the mouth of the valley to prevent the Rouran people from chasing into the Valley of Death, but fortunately they didn't chase in, they just blocked the valley mouth.

But at that time, I had a faint uneasiness in my heart. Speaking of the number of men and horses, the Rouran people who pursued us had at least 10,000 cavalry. They didn't even dare to enter Death Valley! I don't know if they're afraid of being ambushed by us when they enter Death Valley, or if they're really afraid of the legendary monsters in Death Valley.

On the third night after we entered the valley, in the middle of the night, the originally peaceful night was broken by a strange cry from the dense forest in the distance, and all the soldiers of the whole army heard it!

The next day, during the day, soldiers began to talk nonsense in the camp, saying that they had seen their dead relatives last night, and some even said that they had seen the ghosts of hell! At least a few dozen people have gone crazy because of this! For a while, the army's heart was in turmoil, and the people's hearts were panicked!

My father and I couldn't think about it, so we had to send troops around the camp to search around to see if there was anything abnormal, but in the dense forest under a low mountain, the soldiers found the body of a giant wolf, my father and I went to check it in person, the giant wolf was about the same size as a bull, and it had been disemboweled, and the soil under it had been stained red with blood, and the surrounding trees were even more in a mess, and several large trees hugged by one person were also broken alive, It is clear that this giant wolf had fought fiercely before he died, but it is not like it was bitten to death by something, because the wound on his stomach was neat, as if he had been cut with a knife, and the body of the giant wolf showed no signs of being eaten! Otherwise, we wouldn't have gotten a whole wolf's skin! Because there was not much food in the army, we skinned the wolf, and the wolf meat was also eaten by the soldiers.

After listening to my brother's words, I was so frightened that I couldn't speak for a long time, there is really a giant wolf like a cow on the grassland! It's horrible! But what scares me even more is what is it in Death Valley that can kill the giant wolf? And it didn't gnaw on the carcass of the giant wolf, didn't it kill the giant wolf to eat meat? ”

Your Royal Highness, I didn't lie to you, but you don't have to worry too much, this giant wolf is not often encountered! These eighty of us are all crossbowmen selected by the Great Khan from the guards, which is enough to protect His Highness to reach Loulan safely!

I nodded absentmindedly! Alas! According to my luck, I might actually meet a giant wolf.

The next day our group continued to walk, gradually the grass on the ground became more and more scarce, revealing the yellow soil, and by noon, there was no grass on the ground, all turned into gravel ground, I looked up, the sun was shining between heaven and earth, but there was no one in the sky. Starting from the foot and extending to the end of the line of sight, there is an endless Gobi Desert, occasionally some strange-shaped boulders that have been corroded by wind and sand for thousands of years are erected on the Gobi Desert, and in the sky is a rolling high mountain, halfway up the mountainside is already snow-capped, and the top of the mountain is even more straight into the sky, half hidden and half visible are submerged in the clouds and mist! It gives a sense of desolation and emptiness.
