Chapter 20: The Siege of the Wolves (I)
When Zhang Yuxin heard Chen Keyi say that she saw a shadow, she couldn't help but be curious, and said, "What kind of shadow? Is it a human shadow?"
Chen Keyi shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be a human, looking at its appearance, standing on all fours, it seems to have a very long tail, standing towards the sky, it should be an animal." But what it is, I don't know. At that time, I just inadvertently swept the afterglow, and when I looked again, it was gone!" she said, and suddenly she sighed, and said, "I remember, I seemed to see two green things flashing at that time, and now I think about it, it should be the eyes of that thing!"
The knife groaned for a moment, and finally shook his head, saying that he didn't know. The knife tells them that many animals have special crystalline spots in their eyes that can gather faint light, which can then be reflected and flickering at night. However, although the jungle in Wuling Mountain is dense, there are not many large animals whose eyes will glow, such as tigers and leopards, and there are generally many small animals such as foxes, and the fox's eyes will also flicker at night.
As soon as Xiaodao said about the fox, Zhang Yuxin shouted and said, "Ah, you said fox! Big brother, Sister Keyi, do you still remember the dead fox during the day?"
"That's it!" Xiao Dao suddenly said, "I know, that fox was sucked dry by Brother Yang, his soul was scattered, and his death was unknown, and now he is coming back to take revenge on Brother Yang!" As soon as Xiao Dao finished speaking, a gust of cold wind hit, and people shivered all over.
Zhang Yuxin shuddered a few times and said, "Little knife, don't say it, it's scary." ”
Chen Keyi's expression suddenly became serious, looked at the direction of the wind, and said, "There is something wrong with this wind!" Chen Keyi saw that everyone was stunned for a moment, so she explained, "This wind is weird, there is no sign in advance, and what is even more suspicious is that there is a fox smell in this wind!"
As soon as Chen Keyi said this, Yang Xiaowu also noticed it. He was about to ask Chen Keyi what was going on, when he felt his whole body sore, and then he saw the knife and the sword slave fall to the ground.
Zhang Yuxin saw them fall to the ground, and immediately ran over to check and found that they were all unconscious. When Zhang Yuxin encountered this situation for the first time, she couldn't help but get anxious, and said anxiously: "Sister Keyi, what's going on? Why are they all fainting?"
Chen Keyi said: "Judging from the current situation, our speculation is indeed correct, there are evil spirits peeping here!" she said, looked at Yang Xiaowu again, and said, "Are you okay?"
Yang Xiaowu shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem to be a big deal, but I feel soreness and weakness, but there is no sign of being unconscious." Yang Xiaowu tried to move his body, but he couldn't move.
Chen Keyi helped him up and leaned against the tree, making his body a little more comfortable, and then said: "It seems that we have fallen into the demon magic of the evil spirit! The knife and the sword slave are already unconscious, and you are about the same, only me and Yu Xin are fine, it seems that this technique only has an effect on men! Judging from the smell of the noise just now, it should not be Tong Baichuan or Lei Batian, there may be a fox spirit hidden here!"
As soon as Zhang Yuxin heard the vixen, she immediately became excited, completely forgot about the crisis of the situation, and said: "Sister Keyi, you said that there is a vixen here? Do you know where it is? I often hear people talk about vixens, but I can't imagine that there are really vixens in this world! I really want to see what the vixen is like!"
The legend about the fox spirit first originated from the ancient mythology of Yu who has the power of controlling water for the world. Legend has it that Yu went to Tushan, saw a nine-tailed white fox, and heard the nine-tailed white fox song sung by Tushan people, and felt that his marriage should be here, so he married Tushan girl. The mythical nine-tailed white fox is changed by Tu Shan's girl, and the nine-tailed white fox is Tu Shan's spirit animal. If you marry Tushan Nu, you can be happy and prosperous. Therefore, when Yu saw Tu Shanhu, he actually saw Tu Shannu, so he decided to marry her. Since then, there has been a legend of the fox spirit in the world. Among them, the most famous are Bao Xi and Daji in the Xia and Shang periods, and later Zhao Hede and Zhao Feiyan sisters are also said to be fox spirits, but the specific authenticity is unknown.
Chen Keyi told Yang Xiaowu and Zhang Yuxin that everything in the world has spirituality and can be cultivated, but foxes are smart and cunning by nature and wild, and they can't be forged, so they often take shortcuts. The vixen is good at demagoguery and is proficient in illusion. The illusions of the fox spirits are different from ordinary illusions, they are based on charm, so most men are confused.
Zhang Yuxin snorted and said, "That's why people often say, there is a knife on the head of the color character! Big brother, you can't be half-hearted with Sister Keyi in the future!"
Chen Keyi didn't expect Zhang Yuxin to say this suddenly, her face burned suddenly, and she turned her face away unnaturally. Zhang Yuxin saw Chen Keyi's face flush, and also laughed, and was about to speak, but was glared at by Yang Xiaowu, and his mouth was immediately closed tightly.
At that moment, a strange howl suddenly sounded all around! The cry was at first a howling sound, but before it was exhausted, the voice suddenly changed, as if a wolf were wailing. In just a few moments, the same wolf howls continued to join the camp.
When Chen Keyi heard the voice, her face changed sharply, and she snorted softly, and asked Zhang Yuxin to quickly take Yang Xueying out of the tent, and she herself dragged the knife and sword slave to Yang Xiaowu's side. Chen Keyi and Zhang Yuxin put Yang Xueying and the three of them beside Yang Xiaowu, and surrounded them around the tree he leaned on.
Zhang Yuxin took a lot of effort, and finally finished fiddling with Yang Xiaowu and the others, and couldn't help but be curious, and said, "Sister Keyi, why do you want to leave them like this! Is something happen......ing?" Sister Keyi, look over there. No, there are them here, there are them, there are so many things that flicker, what is that? It's a big night, it's scary!"
Chen Keyi picked up the short knife of the sword slave, handed it to Zhang Yuxin, and said, "That's the wolf's eyes! The fox is really cunning, it probably may not be our opponent, so he learned to howl and attracted the wolves around him." Chen Keyi saw Zhang Yuxin's stunned face, so she explained, "The howl we heard at first was made by a fox. Most foxes have a talent for learning the sounds of other animals! The wolves are attracted by the fox's cry. ”
While speaking, the wolves gathered more and more, and they had already surrounded Yang Xiaowu and a few people in the middle. The green eyes, full of greed and desire, stared at a few people, as if they were already planning to wait for something to be eaten first! The wolves seemed to be waiting for something, they just stared at them, did not pounce, and let out a few terrible wails from time to time.
Zhang Yuxin also realized this problem, she held the short knife that Chen Keyi gave her tightly, and asked Chen Keyi softly, "Sister Keyi, why don't they attack! Could it be that these wolves still have leaders, and they still have to wait for the leader to give an order?"
Chen Keyi nodded and said, "That's right! Don't underestimate these wolves, they can survive in the natural world of Wuling Mountain, the law of the jungle, and they must have their rules of survival." I have heard my master say before that the wolves on the Wuling Mountains are no better than those in the plateaus of Tibet. The wolves on Wuling Mountain are not very fierce and their attack power is not strong, but they are very clever and good at using terrain to attack. ”
Zhang Yuxin listened to Chen Keyi's words, and couldn't help but pout, "I can't imagine that these beasts are really not simple!"
As soon as Zhang Yuxin's words fell, a rapid howl sounded. Yang Xiaowu recognized that this business was sent by the fox that Chen Keyi said, and it seemed that this fox was now the leader of these wolf packs.
As soon as the howl sounded, several wolves rushed towards Chen Keyi. Zhang Yuxin was about to rush over to help, but Chen Keyi had already screamed and said, "Yuxin, don't come here, just take care of them!" Before Chen Keyi finished speaking, the wolves had already rushed in front of her.
Chen Keyi saw the wild wolf pounce, and he also greeted him. Chen Keyi is not the same as before this time, basically all of them are legs. Although her legs are not as powerful as Zhang Yuxin's steel fists, she is flexible and changeable, which is suitable for fighting the wolves now. I saw Chen Keyi kicking one by one, almost not missing, and every kick hit the wolf's stomach. After a few efforts, several wild wolves fainted to death, rushed over and did not lie down, and they all fell step by step, and slowly crawled back to the wolves.
Yang Xiaowu looked at the deep paw prints left by the wild wolf on the ground, and suddenly understood why Chen Keyi only used his legs. The wolf's claws are as sharp as a sword, and if you give them close, they will be scratched if they are not careful, and in this case, they can only use their legs to distance themselves from the wolf. It's just that although it is extremely physically exhausting to use leg skills, and if you accidentally bite a wild wolf, not to mention the severity of the injury, at least you will lose your combat effectiveness temporarily!
The first wave of wolves had just retreated, and the howl was heard again! Immediately several more wild wolves escaped from the pack, this time a few more than in the first wave.
Chen Keyi is worthy of being the most prestigious celestial master in Xiangxi, and her leg kung fu is really not weak, I saw her kicking left and right, only a few strokes, and the wild wolf that rushed over was dead and wounded.
Zhang Yuxin saw the highlights on the side, and couldn't help but applaud, saying: "It's worthy of Sister Keyi, it's really unusual!"
This time the wolves had not yet retreated, and the howl had already sounded, followed by the howls of all the wild wolves. Looking at this formation, it is a bit like the roar of the army when it attacked in ancient times. Sure enough, before the sound stopped, another group of wild wolves pounced on Keyi. The number of wolves this time is no longer comparable to the previous two times, there are one or twenty at any glance! And as long as there are those who are kicked to death by Chen Keyi, there will be follow-up wild wolf substitutes.
Yang Xiaowu and Zhang Yuxin were worried when they watched from the side, Zhang Yuxin wanted to rush forward several times, took two steps, and turned back. She knew that as long as she went up at this time, she would be trapped by the wolves immediately, and it would be impossible to get out again, so that Yang Xiaowu and the others would be in danger of their lives.
Yang Xiaowu was watching Chen Keyi fight with the wild wolf intently, and suddenly he felt as if something had bitten his leg and dragged him behind the tree. Yang Xiaowu turned his head and immediately found that three or four wolves had come to him unconsciously, and one of them had already bitten his calf and was dragging him behind the tree.
As soon as Yang Xiaowu wanted to call Zhang Yuxin, he found that the wild wolf that had bitten him began to foam at the mouth, twitched a few times, and then stopped moving. The wild wolves who rushed over, seeing that their companions were dead, ran over again and bit Yang Xiaowu's calf. This time, Yang Xiaowu had not been dragged by the wild wolf, so he saw this wild wolf foaming at the mouth and fainted! The remaining wild wolves saw that the previous two wild wolves died inexplicably, and they were not angry, but they all pounced, biting Yang Xiaowu's legs, and pulling him hard to retreat to the wolves.
