Chapter 5: The Sorcerer's Codex (5)

Stepping into the jungle again is much more solid than before.

Perhaps because of the dim sunlight in the sky, or perhaps because of the noise of Dak's group of pedestrians, Jiang Jiu did not have a momentary sense of security, and no longer focused on vigilance, but instead looked at the world.

There were no birds in the morning light, only an inexplicable low rustle. Occasionally, a few dark shadows crossed the trees, but they couldn't really be seen. It looks like a giant prison in the forest.

This group of "idle people" obviously has no formation, and they walk in a scattered manner, which is generally in one direction. Duck led the team, and the bone stick in his hand was slightly raised, as if he was positioning the direction.

"The scenery of this... It's special. ”

"This group of people doesn't feel like they have any fighting power."

"Let no man be a disfigurer. I feel like there's something about Nadak. ”

"My wife is still so beautiful today."

"Nine have not searched for the body.jpg upstairs, calm upstairs."

Duck's brow furrowed, and the bone stick in his hand swayed from side to side for a moment, then turned around and waved his hand, signaling the whole team to stop. An emaciated man beside him leaned up, pulled at the sound of a broken gong, and said:

"Head, black bat?"

"Hmm... Not like. ”

Duck replied as he stroked the black texture on the bone stick, as if sensing something. It took him a long time before he came to his senses, and with a look of horror on his face, he said in a loud voice:

"Quickly pull out your weapons, it's a wild wolf, a wild wolf with a wolf head!"

Hearing this name, the people around him all showed nervous expressions, and took out those strange-shaped weapons with all hands and feet.

Jiang Jiuwei squinted her eyes and raised her shotgun slightly—she had a feeling of being spied on from the beginning, and now it seemed that it should be the so-called "wolf head", and she had to deal with it carefully.

The group looked lazy, but did not panic when they did not want to be in danger, and immediately dispersed to the surroundings, wrapped Duck in the middle, and formed a circle.

She looked around, picked a position in the back, and took the time to raise her shotgun, keeping her eyes on Duck in the center.

He held his bone club high, and his expression was solemn and solemn. As the dull and frustrated voice increased, several clouds of swirling black qi condensed around Dark.

Jiang Jiu couldn't keenly sense the sense of oppression contained in it, and knew even more that it was definitely not something he could fight against now, so he gathered his mind and focused on what was in front of him.

At first there was the sound of dense footsteps and black dust raised in the distance. After that, a pair of turquoise and gloomy eyes weave through the trees in the early morning.

It was a pack of wolves.

They did not rush to attack the group of invaders who trespassed on the territory, but gradually spread out the ranks, surrounded the crowd, and then bared their fangs as a deterrent.

"It's hard to escape the wings."

"Is this a wolf? Why is it so big? ”

"Wife, run!"

"They seem to have spirituality... Waiting for the same"

"It won't be ......"

Glancing at the barrage, Jiang Jiuwei thought for a moment, and then raised his head vigilantly. The group of them had already lived some distance in the area, and with the sound insulation of the forest, it was too late to call for help.

Judging from last night's experience, she suspected that the wolves were waiting for the dark and using the night to kill the group.

Dark, apparently aware of this, turned pale, and then ordered:

"Listen to my instructions and find a chance to break through."

The followers around him nodded, tense and ready to strike. Jiang Jiuwei didn't have much confidence that these people could kill them, so he looked for other ways out.

Wolves are flawless—and Dark's talk of opportunity is probably just a habitual excuse. And the only person in this group who has the strength to escape alone may be Dark, but judging by his performance in the group, he doesn't look like the kind of person who will leave the team and escape by himself.

The wolves were still shrinking and surrounding, the crowd was still retreating, and there was not much time left for them to hesitate.

Duck gritted his teeth, swung his bone stick forward, and several wisps of black qi rushed towards the wolves like snakes, and immediately knocked away several wild wolves in front of the queue, and he hurriedly roared:

"Break through in that direction, quick!"

The crowd surged. The sword decomposes the flesh and blood, the fangs tear the skin and bones, and the sound of tooth ache comes and goes, Jiang Jiu is not wrapped in the left rear of the team, and he is safe for the time being, he has his hand free for a while, and instead raises his gun and glances behind him.

Duck was very experienced, and he pressed the back of the team to prevent the array from collapsing, but he only barely supported. The amount of black qi scattered around him was much less than before, and there were several more wounds on his body from wolves.

The battle ahead was very anxious, and for a while there was no progress on either side, but there were a few more harassing wolves on the flanks. Jiang Jiuwei had not learned to shoot systematically, and he was not sure of hitting such a long distance, so he could only shrink back and look for an opportunity.

"Head, something is wrong!"

Dark's face was gloomy, his hands kept moving, and he shouted without looking back:

"If there's a fart, let it go!"

"These wolves are not afraid of pain, nor are they afraid of death......"

"Nonsense, when has the wolf ever been afraid of death?"

The stout man put down the battle in front of him, looked at the gap and retreated, and continued:

"Head, they're wounded, and their movement isn't hindered at all."

Speaking of which, Duck also felt that something was wrong, although these wolves were usually fierce and ferocious, they would also whimper a few times when they were beaten. But the wolves in front of him were roaring all the time, fighting irrationally.

"The head wolf can't do it... Someone's playing tricks! ”

Dark's eyes were like torches, he scanned the surroundings, turned in the direction of the largest number of wolves, and asked in a loud voice:

"Who? Who is it?"

He was answered by the endless roar of beasts, and the constant forced contraction of the human front. Watching the people around him keep falling, and then being dragged away by the wolves. A great panic enveloped these temporary survivors.

Jiang Jiuwei raised her shotgun and fired a shot into the sky, the huge explosion sound attracted the attention of the wolves and the crowd at the same time, and she said calmly:

"Are you afraid of death?"

Seeing this, Duck moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't stop Jiang Jiuwei, but just took advantage of the weakening of the wolf pack's offensive to recover his strength.

Seeing Duck's acquiescence, she turned in the direction of the retreating crowd, and imitated the tone of the group, feigning provocation:

"After running in the woods for so many years, how many wolves have made you fearful? Kind of rush back with me and kill these brutes! ”

After speaking, Jiang Jiuwei didn't care about people's surprised eyes, missed his hand, carried a gun, and was about to rush to the front of the team, but was blocked back by a wisp of black gas.

["Bone Soul" Duck Friendship +20, current: +40 (Trust)]

"What's the need for you tender little girl to work hard... The wizard is on top, everyone kill back! ”

Dake stopped Jiang Jiuwei's pace, and then gritted his teeth, a few wisps of black blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, attracting more black qi, but he didn't protect himself, and threw all of them to the front of the team to help break through.

The pressure ahead suddenly cleared, and people were also encouraged to turn to counterattack one after another. The wolves in front of them were killed by the sudden attack, and a small hole was protruded in the encirclement.

The wolves in the rear seemed to feel something, and gradually focused the attack on Duck alone, using the method of wheel warfare, always exerting pressure on him, intending to bite the leader of the group here.

It was never a fair fight. As it stands, Duck is an elite hunter with good tactical instincts and a mastery of bizarre bone pattern sorcery.

But after all, wolves are several times more numerous than humans. There is also an unclear mastermind peeking in the shadows, and the human side has actually fallen into decline.

She couldn't run away on her own - she didn't have the confidence to escape the wolves, and she didn't want to gamble that she could scare the wolves with her musket.

But even if Duck is willing to sacrifice, it may not be able to exchange for real victory.

Jiang Jiuwei stood at the end of the team, looking at the wolves in front of him who were constantly reinforcing him, his face was not shocked, but he sighed secretly in his heart.

This is not the way to go.

Her fingers gently fumbled for the trigger, and her mind spun rapidly, but after all, she was limited by her weak physical skills, and she couldn't think of any way to break the situation and save herself.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a low, hoarse, ghostly and hollow voice in her ears:

"Wow, what does the young lady want to do, run away?"

It was a girl's voice, with a thick nasal voice, and a slightly sharp intonation, revealing a caustic and arrogant tone.

It seemed to sound from a very close place, but it seemed to come from another world—Jiang Jiu could not describe this torn and contradictory feeling.

She stiffened slightly, turning her head slowly, but she couldn't find the source of the sound.

"Don't move!"

The voice reminded sharply, and the tone was grim:

"Unless you want to die now."

Jiang Jiuwei turned back quietly, his expression unchanged, and said in a low voice:

"These wolves... Did you get it? ”

The girl sneered:

"What do you say?"

Jiang Jiuwei had never liked this kind of worthless conversation, but his tone was not affected, and he still asked calmly:

"Why?"

"Why should I tell you why?"

"In other words, do you know me?"

Jiang Jiu didn't turn around, narrowed the distance between himself and Dark, and waited until there were no more wolves in the vicinity before he continued:

"What exactly are you going to do?"

The girl did not seem to have the habit of answering questions rationally, and instead said in an excited tone:

"You're beautiful."

Jiang Jiuwei didn't expect her to suddenly change the topic, she was slightly stunned, her mind changed, she lowered her voice, and said tentatively:

"You're... Wolf King?"

She didn't respond, but her voice was a little more greedy with an unknown meaning:

"It's beautiful......"

Jiang Jiuwei didn't like this compliment very much, which made her feel a strange discomfort. But she also knew that she was not targeting herself, she just tightened her body and said lightly:

"Thank you, Your Excellency the Wolf King."

"Do you call me the 'Wolf King'?"

The girl let out a series of giggles, and her voice was full of playfulness.

Jiang Jiuwei didn't continue to ask, because she saw that Dake was covered in blood, surrounded by more than ten wolves in the middle, and there were only two black qi flying and hovering beside him.

Darker seemed to be aware of her gaze, and his eyes widened, and he exclaimed:

"Little girl, what are you still stunned about? Run! ”

"You're afraid."

The girl's tone became more and more sharp, as if she looked down on Jiang Jiuwei's timidity:

"Humans want to keep themselves alive first, right?"

Jiang Jiu was noncommittal, and said lightly:

"I don't need to prove anything."

The girl snorted coldly and said:

"So, are you going to wait to be captured alive and then eaten?"
