43. Night wolf in the slums
"What did you say?" Gu Yuexi immediately flashed to the bottom of a low wall, sensed it carefully, and found that there was no one around.
"I said be careful." Sulmo deliberately dragged the last word out for emphasis.
"You mean, the Delhi soldiers have an ambush here, or a trap?" Gu Yuexi only felt a chill down her spine, but fortunately Su Lemo reminded her, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Not Delhi." Sulmo shook her head, motioning for her to stay where she was, not to move around, then stood up and walked into the courtyard.
These two houses look like "empty rooms" that have been left unattended for a long time, and not only are they covered with thick dust, but they have remained as they have been after the "catastrophe" of the day.
When he came to the gap between the two houses, he did not see the companion she had mentioned, but she must have not deceived him, for there was a black coat and a statue the size of a palm.
Slightly curious, he picked up the statue and recognized it at a glance as Krishna, the black god of Assam, and it seemed that her companion was a pious seal. The Catholics, in such a dangerous journey, still do not forget to carry the token.
"Your companion is gone, but he left this on the spot." Sulmo was silent for a moment, then handed her the coat and statue.
"Got it." Hearing him say this, she had an indescribable feeling in her heart, in short, she was both uneasy and calm, the reason for the uneasiness was that she was worried that he would be kidnapped by the soldiers, and the reason for her calmness was that he might have been rescued by Seviyin's people, after all, the chief Li Boling, it was impossible not to have a little response to the abnormal situation that happened during this mission.
"Miss Gu, let's go, they've already noticed us." As she was stunned, Sulmo grabbed her arm and pulled her behind a high wall.
"Who?" Gu Yuexi was slightly stunned, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that it is an existence ambushed here?" ”
"Exactly, it is said that this creature, like the Guzde, comes from another world, and its body is similar to a coyote, but it is much more ferocious than a coyote." Sulmo explained slowly to her as he looked around, as if to make sure of its whereabouts.
"Then you, generally call it ......" Driven by curiosity, Gu Yuexi was about to ask him for its name, but before he finished speaking, he saw a brown figure appear in the deepest part of another alley out of thin air.
On closer inspection, she noticed that it was a little larger than the average coyote, about 120-130 cm long; The shoulders are high but the hips are slightly lower; long mane on the dorsal midline from the back of the head to the hips; The sides of the body and limbs are distributed with several irregular yellow-brown stripes; As for the 40-centimeter-long tail, it is covered with thick and fluffy chestnut hair.
At the moment, the guy was running back and forth in the alley with an object similar to a football in his mouth, not knowing whether he was idly out of the corner or trying to dispose of the contents in his mouth.
"Miss Gu, the night wolf is now dividing up the food in the depths of the alley, the attention is not here, we just need to leave quietly." After observing it, Sulmo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time motioned to her: slow down and make as little noise as possible.
Gu Yuexi nodded slightly, followed behind Su Lemo, and walked slowly in the direction of five o'clock.
During this period, she saw some shocking blood stains on the ground from time to time, and these blood stains were all in the form of a large area of splatters, and it seemed that the spherical object in the night wolf's mouth was not a mutilated human head.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuexi's mood immediately fell into a slightly depressed state, and this state was even more serious when she inadvertently caught a glimpse of several broken corpses under the corner of the wall not far away.
"What, isn't it comfortable?" Sulmo was keenly aware of her strangeness and questioned her with concern.
"Nothing." She subconsciously waved her hand, and then said with a serious face: "Do you think that the King of Delhi, as a powerful monarch, would let such a terrifying thing wander around the city?" ”
Hearing her say this, Su Lemo couldn't help laughing, and then slowly explained: "Miss Gu's question is a good question, but it is actually not difficult to understand, because it is inseparable from one word in the final analysis, and that is rank. ”
"Level?" Gu Yuexi pondered silently repeatedly, and soon had an eyebrow, the Kingdom of Delhi, like the Zhemengxiong Empire, had a strict hierarchy, that is, the aristocratic class, as a parasitic class, firmly controlled the state power; The vast majority of the common people not only have no power, but also have to provide for them unconditionally; Unlike Zhe Mengxiong, there was also a class of untouchables (also known as untouchables) in the Kingdom of Delhi, who were no different from chickens, ducks, cats and dogs, lived in specific areas, engaged in menial jobs, and were constantly discriminated against by nobles and even commoners.
In this way, it may seem unexpected that the king of Delhi ignored the night wolves in the slums, but in fact it was reasonable.
Retracting the scattered thoughts, the discomfort in Gu Yuexi's heart was gradually alleviated, indeed, in this world, there is still full of inequality and oppression, but we must also believe that light will replace darkness, although the scope of its current ability is still very small.
Unconsciously, at the end of her vision, a dazzling light slowly appeared, and she thought that it must be the business district and the wealthy area of Patna City.
But just as she relaxed her extremely tense nerves, a fork in the road in front of her jumped out without warning, and two night wolves covered in blood jumped out.
Seeing this, Sulmo's face changed, and he had to flash to the side in a hurry, but fortunately, there were two rusty iron rods in the corner of the wall, which were perfect for self-defense.
Compared to him, Gu Yuexi seemed calm, only to see her holding her breath, slowly drawing out her long knife, and then half-squatting to meet the upcoming battle.
As the saying goes, dogs are afraid to bend over, wolves are afraid to draw knives, and her move undoubtedly slowed down the pace of the two wolves' attacks, and at the same time won him precious time when he was in a panic and neglected to prepare.
"Thank you." Sulmo hurriedly wiped the beads of sweat from his cheeks, then tightened his grip on the iron rod and stood firm, ready for battle.
In the next second, one of the smaller night wolves took the lead in attacking, only to see it baring its fangs, revealing its fierce appearance, Sen Han's eyes were round, and the corners of his eyes hung to the corners of his forehead, revealing murderous intent; The wolf's tail lifted slightly, fanning gently in the air; Then there was a low roar, and his legs violently exerted force, and he bit her neck.
Suddenly, she felt every part of her body become stiff and numb, and even her reaction was slightly slower by half a beat, but fortunately, the desire to survive forced her to dodge backwards in time, and finally avoided the night wolf's strong attack by luck.
Seeing that his attack did not work, the Night Wolf's morale weakened slightly, but it quickly suppressed the anxiety in its heart, and walked back and forth, hoping that it would quickly find the weakness of the strange prey.
But before it could see it, he saw that the prey was advancing instead of retreating, and took the weapon in his hand and pointed it at its head, and slashed it off.
The night wolf immediately dodged, and although the tragedy of the severed head was avoided, it was stabbed firmly at its side, and bright red blood gushed out instantly.
"A beast who doesn't know whether it's alive or dead." Gu Yuexi glanced at it that was about to fall unconscious, then turned around and focused on the other night wolf with a large physique.
Compared to the former, this night wolf appeared to be a little more conservative, not only did not attack quickly, but deliberately kept a distance of four or five meters from them, so as to create the illusion that it was afraid of them.
However, Gu Yuexi did not relax her vigilance because of this, after all, the really terrible opponent usually does not play cards according to common sense, you think that the person who strikes first is strong, but in its eyes, this kind of person is a butcher who can't think and can only use brute force.
After a while, the wolf seemed to notice that she was more difficult to deal with than he was, so he deliberately avoided her, and then pounced on Sulmo with lightning speed.
Seeing this, Sulmo hurriedly grasped the iron rod and used all his strength to slash at the night wolf.
However, a shocking scene happened quickly, because when the night wolf came to a place only 2 meters away from him, he suddenly turned around and headed straight for Gu Yuexi.
"What a plan to get away with." She immediately stood on her feet, clenched her long knife, and slashed at its head.
The next moment, she only felt a salty smell of gas rushing to her head, and at the same time, she clearly heard a crisp gunshot.
Looking closely, she noticed that the night wolf had a seven-eight on his neck. The centimeter-long scar must have been the mark left by her knife; In addition, she also saw that there was a hole about three centimeters in diameter in the back of the night wolf's head, which should have been shot just now.
Whose hand will it be? She couldn't help but think about it, so much so that she didn't have time to wipe the sticky blood off her clothes.
"Miss Gu, are you okay?" Just as she was about to think of the familiar sharpshooter in her mind, her thoughts were interrupted by that person.
Raising her head in a hurry, the hint of surprise in her eyes happened to be caught by him; And the little worry in his eyes was also caught by her.
In an instant, the unconscious expressions of the two were replaced by an indescribable embarrassment, yes, they both cared about each other, but they were afraid, this concern was discovered by the other party.
After a short moment of being stunned, Wang Wenyuan smiled helplessly, tore open the unopened handkerchief she gave him before, and gently wiped the blood splattered on her face.
"What did you do?" Her face couldn't help but sink, and between her words, it seemed to be angry, but in fact, it was more concern.
"I was rescued, and then I couldn't be relieved, and I turned back." He simply told the truth, but he couldn't help but speculate in his heart: Knowingly, aren't you the same?
"You won't, blame me." Thinking that she left in a hurry at that time, but did not tell him her thoughts, her heart was a little reluctant after all.
"How can I be?" He looked at her with a complicated expression, and said in his heart that he really didn't expect her mind to be so delicate and simple......
