Otherworldly Chapter 9: A Distress Message

Entering the Baiyun Mountain Range, the mountain road became rugged, and the speed of the cavalry team in front slowed down significantly, and the three of them caught up with the team.

After a few hours of running, it was already dark. The road narrows and narrows, turning into a long, narrow gorge flanked by towering cliffs with dense trees that completely obscure the sky from the gorge as if it were night.

Hundreds of riders lined up in two rows, winding and slowing like a long snake. The gorge is extremely quiet, with only the occasional chirping of birds. The riders also rode silently and did not make a sound.

Slowing down, there was no need to keep galloping the horse, Su You took the opportunity to move the stride, soothe the numb legs, and at the same time stretch his arms to relax the stiff shoulder and back muscles. Tiredness is relieved.

Su You heard the crisp sound of Miss Sun announcing the distribution of dry food in front of him: the team kept moving slowly, and the knights could eat on the horse.

Su You saw that the other knights couldn't sweat, they couldn't breathe, and they sat on the back of the horse as if they were walking on the ground, and they were envious.

Su You and Bai Shan rode slowly, and the two talked in a whisper while eating dry food. Baishan is also the first time to take this mountain road, he and the knight surnamed Xu in front of him, take the opportunity to ask, it turns out that this is the only way to go to the Golden City.

The Ten Thousand Blades Shop in Baiyun Town is just a small branch of the Ten Thousand Blades Gold Commercial Building, and only Deacon Sun usually takes care of it here. This time, the commercial building has taken over a big business, and the local branches are making every effort to build weapons orders, and the completed equipment needs to be transported to the Golden City commercial building. Due to the lack of manpower, Sun Chongyuan and Sun Xiuyun temporarily came to the Baiyun Ware Shop to supervise the production and escort the goods.

Su You took the opportunity to ask: "Brother Xu, in the morning, Miss Sun was still in the instrument shop watching Master Ji and Master Yang build knives, why did she suddenly say that Master Sun had an accident?" I was around, no signs, huh? ”

Knight Xu looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "There is a secret technique of divine consciousness called 'Thousand Miles of Transmission' between our landlord and the young lady. They can use this secret technique to send messages to each other. ”

Su You opened his mouth and stammered, there was such a magical secret technique in this world. He felt incredible, and hurriedly asked: "Then can Miss Sun still receive a message from the owner of the Sun Mansion now?" Do you know what's going on? ”

Knight Xu said: "It may be an eyeless bandit. However, there are more than 100 people in the ambulance team led by the landlord, and any thief should be able to resist it. ”

The gap is too long. After a few more hours of walking, it was close to midnight that the narrow road gradually widened. A reminder from the rider in front of you sounded: "It's about to leave the gorge, everyone be careful."

Knight Xu walked through this road several times and said in a low voice: "Out of the Gorge Road, you will walk for another day to Shangguan Road, and then you will arrive at the Golden City in two days." ”

Su You can estimate that it will take four days for a single trip from Baiyun Town to Golden City. Of course, the carriage is slow, and it may take up to two days to gallop a horse, but if a horse runs 800 miles a day, the distance is 800 kilometers?

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead. Someone shouted "release the arrows", and then there was the sound of arrows breaking through the air.

Su You and Bai Shan were shocked, is there really an enemy? The two of them hurriedly took out their weapons from the horse leather and rushed forward with the cavalry, and at this time they were about to leave the gorge crossing, and the enemy chose to ambush here, which was the greatest threat.

Su You and Bai Shan were at the end of the line, and they hurried forward. I saw that all the knights were crowded at the exit of the gorge, showing an open view of the gorge.

Su You fixed his eyes and looked out, and couldn't help but be surprised, a group of wolf-like animals were rushing towards him. Farther away in the valley, more of the same kind could be seen besieging the suspected encircled carriage procession, and faint cries and howls could be heard.

The knights in front were already shooting arrows with their bows, and rows of arrows flew towards the group of animals, and the light was too dim to see what kind of animals they were, and they moved extremely swiftly, and ran like flying.

The "wolves" were the first to discover the cavalry in the gorge, and a small group of "wolves" roared and rushed towards them with a very fast speed.

The bows and arrows in the hands of the knights kept shooting, but these "wolves" were indeed extremely sensitive, as if they were sentient, and their bodies could still magically turn the direction and dodge the arrows in a galloping state.

After several rounds of arrow raindown, only a few "wolves" were hit by arrows because the arrow rain was too dense and blocked the dodge route. The "wolf" that was hit by the arrow did not immediately fall to the ground and die, but still rushed forward, but the speed decreased slightly, and the vitality was extremely tenacious.

In the face of the attack of the "wolves", the knights did not panic and launched the attack in an orderly manner, obviously they were all knights who had experienced a hundred battles.

The archers took turns to keep the arrows continuous, and some "wolves" still did not fall down after several arrows, and only when they hit the vital point, they would fall down with a wail. The "wolf" in the back jumps to avoid his fallen companions, and his speed does not decrease, and he can also dodge sharp arrows.

Su You's eyes widened, is this a pack of wolves? But it's too fast and too flexible.

Bai Shan also took out the bow and arrow from the leather bag of the saddle and shot at the wolves, and his archery skills were very good. It's just that the arm strength is a little worse, and it can occasionally shoot the "wolf" that pounces on it, but it only slightly affects its speed, and it can't give it fatal damage.

I heard Sun Xiuyun shouting loudly: "Father, did you hear it in front?" ”

Hearing the answer, the knights were greatly boosted, and the speed of the arrows was released.

It turned out that Lord Sun's convoy had encountered wolves. Su You sat on the horse, and he also took out his bow and arrows, but he did not shoot an arrow. After observing for so long, he knew that he would definitely miss these "wolves" with his arrows, and he didn't want to be embarrassed.

Several "wolves" rushed forward, the arrows were ineffective, and the knight in front drew his sword. One of them slashed his sword at a "wolf" that was jumping up and pounced, and this "wolf" twisted strangely, and actually made a turning motion in the air, dodging the long sword, and pounced on a knight next to him, extremely flexible.

The knight next to him hurriedly turned his sword and stabbed him, and the "wolf" suddenly sank down again, and indeed jumped towards his left leg, changing to the most tricky.

Seeing that it was too late to change his tactics again. The knight from before came to his rescue in time and saved him from the "wolf". The "wolf" turned around again and ......fled unscathed.

The swords and spears of several other knights beside him who slashed at the "wolf" group also missed, and only one unlucky "wolf" was struck by the double sword and hit in the head. But it didn't fall to the ground and die, it screamed and jumped to the side, away from the place.

More wolves leaped closer, leaping several meters at a time, as if they were flying.

Su You had seen clearly that it was a wolf, but where had he ever seen such a fierce wolf? He shouted at the god of relief: "Whoever has fire, immediately ignite the weeds in front of him and block the wolves behind from passing." The archer tied a cloth of fire to the arrows and shot them into the grass in the distance to disperse the wolves, which were afraid of fire. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Sun Xiuyun Jiaojiao: "Hurry up and ignite the fire!" Archers use rockets to drive wolves, and swordsmen line up to kill the wind wolves in front of them. ”

As she spoke, several "wind wolves" did rush towards Sun Xiuyun, and several knights around her hurriedly swung their long swords.

There was a terrible scream, and a knight was bitten on the arm by a wolf, and he fell from the horse with the wolf. A man beside him rushed forward and stabbed the wolf through the waist with a sword, then kicked the wolf away. The sword stab kick is done in one go, and the skill is extraordinary. It was the vice-captain Xiao Qiang!

The bitten knight was dragged to the back of the line by his companions, and he tore off his clothes and tied his arms with a miserable groan, and a piece of flesh on his arm had been torn open by the wolf's mouth. This is where armor does not protect.

Immediately, a knight filled his position and blocked the pounce of another wolf in time. A larger wolf attacked from behind the wolf, the knight was not in a hurry to return the sword, at the moment of crisis, he jerked the horse's head, the wolf's head was hitting the iron spear of the horse's helmet, and was immediately pierced through the head by the iron spear. The knight swung his sword again and cut off the wolf's head.

The wolves are suddenly dense, and the battle is becoming more and more tense.

Su You took the fire oil from the knight with the fire and lit the fire cloth. He did not shoot the wolf with his bow and arrows, but went to the grass in the distance, barely fell fifty paces away, and burned the dead grass there. It was autumn, and the weeds were all yellow, and they were quickly boiling.

He shouted, "Knights, light the torches and use them to drive away the wolves." All the rocketeers shot their rockets to the left and right of the burning fireweed in front of them, forming an isolated fire belt. ”

The rocketeers shot rows of rockets next to Su You's arrow as they were told, and the fire suddenly burst into flames, burning the surrounding weeds out of a clearing, and the fire circle was still expanding. In order to avoid the ring of fire, the wolves who rushed up were forced to make a detour to the periphery and attack again, giving the cavalry a chance to breathe.

Su You shouted again: "Now all the people abandon the horses, everyone gathers in a circle, and the knight with torches stands on the outside." Everyone moved forward together, crossing the fireweed to the middle of the fire ring. The wolf did not dare to enter the ring of fire, which was the safest. ”

The people gathered together in a circle, some with torches to drive away wolves, others with swords to kill wolves, and moved to the circle of fire. Fortunately, the weeds are not high, and after they are burned, they are only burned out against the ground. Everyone jumped into the fire ring and entered the circle. The fire ring has burned a large scorched black clearing, and it is still expanding, enough for this hundred people to settle down.

As the ring of fire expanded, the wolves kept retreating, and retreated farther and farther. The wolves were scattered outside the ring of fire, but they still kept an eye on the people in the ring of fire, lingering.

All the knights couldn't open their eyes under the smoke of fire, and they kept coughing, but they were safe for the time being.

Sun Xiuyun shouted to the front again: "Father, if you hold on for a while, we will come to save you immediately." ”

Su Youlang said: "Everyone covers their mouths and noses with cloths, and when the fire ring burns farther away, they won't be so choking." Now let's shoot rockets in the direction of Sun Lou to create a second ring of fire. Let's move to that ring of fire again, and after doing this a few times, we will soon be able to reach Lord Sun. ”

Sun Xiuyun's beautiful eyes were still shining in the dark night, and he glanced at Su You and said, "Everyone does what Su You says." ”

In less than half an hour, the crowd had advanced hundreds of meters. When moving from one ring of fire to another, you will also encounter fierce attacks from wolves, causing them problems.

The knights in the circle of fire sniped with arrows, and it was difficult to kill the wolf, but it was easy to force the wolf back. The knights moved between the rings of fire and forward.
