Chapter 0147: Snowy Night Terror
On a snowy night in early spring, although there is no cold north wind, it is also cold and windy.
The crowd huddled behind the snowdrifts, and there was a campfire to keep warm, but it didn't interfere with sleep.
Especially after a day of travel, everyone was tired, and soon fell asleep.
Even the personnel on duty at night dozed off in a daze and started the "fishing" time.
The sound of "whirring" breaths came and went, and they became one.
Occasionally, people grind their teeth in dreams, but no one is woken up.
More than 20 people slept very deeply, very deeply.
Bang, the people on duty at night seemed to be tired of "fishing", and they were dragged down by the "fish" one after another, lying in the snow next to the fire, and fell asleep.
In the snow, the cold wind is running and playing.
After discovering this group of sleeping humans, they also ran over mischievously, pulled the ears hidden under the hats, pinched the red noses of the humans, and then mischievously stepped on the flames of the bonfire and ran away.
Perhaps it was the mischievous cold wind that took away the heat of the camp, and the sleeping crowd couldn't help but wrap their fur coats and blankets tightly.
Bonfires, which can be deprived of guards, become smaller and smaller as time passes, and show faint signs of extinguishing.
Hiss~
In the silent night sky, an unnatural sound suddenly sounded.
In the distance, which no one could see, a group of white figures staggered forward in the wind.
"Uh~Woo~Wow!"
A snow wolf gave a warning voice to the white shadow floating over.
The beast's instinct made it perceive that the group of "enemies" in front of it was dangerous, and it hurriedly issued a warning as it retreated.
"Whoosh!"
Three grinning figures flew out of the pile of white shadows and floated straight towards the snow wolf.
"Woohoo!"
The snow wolf spat out three ice picks and stabbed at the white shadow that pounced on it.
Burst! Burst! Burst!
The ice pick pierces through the white shadow and lands in the snow behind the white shadow.
The speed of the white shadow did not decrease, and it instantly pounced on the snow wolf's body, like white smoke, and frantically drilled into the snow wolf's mouth, nose, and ears.
"Whew! Oh! Oh! Woo! ”
The snow wolf jumped and jumped frantically on the snow, letting out a terrified scream.
The sound was heard far away in the snow.
In the distance, a group of snow wolves heard these screams and jumped out of the snow and headed straight for this side.
However, before they arrived, the snow wolf that was pounced on by the white shadow could not convulse to the end, and it was silent in the blink of an eye.
White shadows floated out of its body, transforming into three white figures in the snow.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but the three white shadows floating out of the snow wolf's body seem to be larger than the other white shadows.
Stampeding, the snow wolves rushed to the scene, and when they saw the corpses of their fellow clans on the snow in the distance, they couldn't help but charge.
"Whew!"
A majestic wolf howl stopped the wolves that were about to move.
A snow wolf that is twice the size of other snow wolves emerges from the pack, and it is the snow wolf king.
The Snow Wolf King looked at the white shadows who had noticed the wolves in the distance.
"Whew! Oh! ”
The Snow Wolf King signaled the wolves to retreat.
There was a commotion in the wolves, and they could not understand the wolf king's orders.
In the past, no matter what the enemy was, as long as they injured their kindred, the wolf king would lead them to hunt down the enemy until death.
Why is it that today the enemy is clearly in front of him, but he does not even dare to approach, and he has to retreat.
Seeing the hesitant wolves, the Snow Wolf King felt that his majesty was being provoked.
"Woohoo! Uh~uh~"
The wolf king bared his teeth and gave his final warning to the wolves.
But at this moment, the white shadow pile in the distance was attracted by the wolves, and rushed towards the wolves.
"Woo~Woo!"
When the wolf king found out about the white shadow's movements, he let out a frightened cry, but he didn't care about the wolves, and rushed out like a fly, fleeing the way he came.
The wolf king's actions made the wolves suddenly chaotic.
The snow wolves in the snow wolf pack are not too high in IQ, but as magical beasts, they have their own intelligence.
The enemies who can make the Snow Wolf King, who is usually high up, run away with his tail between his legs regardless of his dignity, are obviously not something they can resist.
The clever snow wolf immediately turned around and chased after the snow wolf king.
Immediately, the huge snow wolf pack was suddenly split in two, and a large group chased the snow wolf king and fled.
But the other group plans to meet the enemy, establish their position with the corpses of the enemy, and return to the wolf pack to claim the position of wolf king!
So, a small group of snow wolves who were not afraid of death, under the leadership of an elite snow wolf that was a little smaller than the snow wolf king, pounced on the white shadow group that rushed over.
It's just that as soon as the two sides met each other, the wolves instantly turned into a rout.
Neither their claws nor their magic can damage their enemies.
But the enemy burrowed into their bodies by relying on their invisible bodies.
The snow wolf that was running in front fell to the ground in an instant under the siege of several white shadows and lost its life.
Seeing this, the snow wolf behind was so frightened that he turned around and ran away with his tail between his legs.
But how could the white shadow, which had already been entangled, let go of their prey, and hurriedly flew towards them.
So, the wolves fled all the way, leaving corpses behind along the way.
These corpses, after a few breaths, will drill out one after another powerful white shadows, and then continue to chase towards the wolves.
When the last white shadow disappeared from the scene, the earth seemed to return to calm.
However, at this moment, in the camp not far away, the leader of the merchants, Blue, with fear on his face, whispered: "Immediately take your luggage, let's go!" ”
At Blue's order, the originally peaceful camp boiled like boiling water.
More than 20 people performed their duties, packed their bags, and began to prepare for evacuation.
It turns out that when the first snow wolf encounters the white shadow, the snow wolf's screams wake up Nock and Leo from their sleep.
The two who woke up didn't have time to think about why the two of them could suddenly sleep and die in a strange place, and they were attracted by a series of screams and movements of the snow wolf.
The two of them hurriedly broke the ropes on their bodies, quietly climbed up the snow slope, and lay down in the snow to see what was happening.
Then I saw the scene of the white shadow coming out of the snow wolf's body.
The image shocked Nock and Leo.
The two of them did not dare to alarm the monsters in the distance, because there were too many of them. Densely packed, I am afraid of no less than 10,000.
They could only quietly retreat down the snowy slope, and then touched the side of the caravan leader, Blue, one covered Blue's mouth, and the other pinched Blue's nose to wake him up.
Awake, Blue found himself covered his mouth and held his hands and feet, almost not scared to death.
It wasn't until he saw Nock make a quiet gesture with his finger on his lips with a wary face, and then pointed to the snow slope and motioned for Blue to follow, that Blue calmed down.
Although I don't understand why these two strangers want to do this to him, it obviously doesn't look like they want to poison him.
And he noticed that his companions around him were still asleep, even the guards, which was a little wrong.
Could it be that you were stunned by these two people?
If that's the case, the two of them don't need to wake themselves up, and they have to take themselves to see something.
So, under the "hostage" of Nock and Leo, Blue followed the two to climb the snowy slope, and then saw a dense white shadow.
Blue recognized the origin of the White Shadow and was about to cry out in fright.
Nock and Leo, who had been prepared, covered his mouth and pushed him into the snow.
Instinctively, Blue struggled and was dragged down the slope by Nock and Leo, sitting on the leeward below.
Nock made a quiet gesture with his hand again, and after a few deep breaths, Blue quickly nodded in understanding.
Then, in the snow, Nock wrote by hand, "What are those things?" I find them weird. If we fight them, will we win? ”
Seeing Nock's words, Blue waved his hand in fright, and almost screamed again.
He stretched out his hand on the ground and wrote to the two of them, "That's a white ghost, no body. Able to devour the souls of living beings. All the lifeforms that encounter them can only wait for death except to escape! Neither vindictive spirit nor magic can defeat them, let alone kill them! ”
Blue's explanation surprises both Nock and Leo.
Is there such a strange and inexplicable existence on the mainland? Why haven't they heard of it?
But Blue looked scared, and it didn't look like he was lying, so Nock thought for a moment and wrote on the ground, "You two go and wake people up." Remember, we must not let them make a sound, or we will die. I went to keep an eye on them, and the situation was not right, so I had to flee for my life. ”
Blue was not upset with Nock's proposal.
Everyone met in the water, and the two of them did not directly abandon them and escape, which was already benevolent.
was really discovered by the white ghosts, but I am afraid that their caravan and its own people will only care about fleeing for their lives, who can take care of whom.
But fortunately, the white ghosts have not discovered them yet, and if they are quietly prepared and avoid the direction in which the white ghosts are heading, they may not have a chance to escape.
The three of them split up, and after Blue and Leo woke up a few of them by waking up Blue, Nock saw the wolves coming.
This movement was naturally discovered by the people who woke up, and they climbed the snow slope without listening to the advice to peek, and they were almost not scared stupid.
Fortunately, Nock and Leo, who had already gained experience, had two people and directly pressed the disobedient people into the snow, making them eat a mouthful of snow without screaming out.
The caravan members who had eaten a mouthful of snow finally realized that they had almost killed everyone just now.
Finally shivering down the snowy slope.
Nock made a "continue" gesture to Blue, then Blue made a few gestures to the frightened members, and then a group of people followed Leo and Blue's trick and woke everyone up.
Although some people were still confused, the members who had been awake and knew what had happened were staring at the people who had just woken up.
As long as the other party moves his mouth, he will be covered and thrown to the ground.
After one or two such situations, even if the later people don't know what happened, they know that this is to keep quiet.
Until Blue asked them to cover their mouths and then took them up the slope one by one to see the truth.
Fortunately, they came one by one, otherwise they really couldn't control the situation.
Even if the white ghosts were already fighting the wolves at that time, if they made a movement and were discovered, I believe that the white ghosts would definitely abandon the wolves to hunt them down.
Humans are the favorite nutrients of white ghosts!
So, when everyone was scared to pee, they finally understood what was going on.
Fortunately, the wolves fled and lured the white ghost away.
But they don't know that the white ghost can't come back, and the safest situation now is naturally to run away in the opposite direction where the white ghost left.
So, at the sound of Blue's order, everyone moved.
