Chapter 71 Wolf Corps
Now that the sky has cleared, Locke and Angelina will have to start thinking about today's food. Yesterday the two had eaten the last bit of food.
"Are there a lot of animals around here?" Locke asked nonsense, where are the animals coming from in the snowy mountains at the moment.
After Angelina gave a "no" answer, Locke began to wonder what the two of them would rely on next. Locke, who has machismo in his heart, doesn't want to wake up by himself, and relies on Angelina to bear the food for the two of them.
Angelina also quietly waited for Locke to find a way, to be honest, if Angelina went out to find food now, she would only dig a trap like before, and wait for the prey to take the initiative to send it to the door, and there was still a lot of Huoyun Fruit left. But looking at this white snow field on all sides, with the thickness of the snow layer reaching almost half a meter, it really depends on God whether there are any beasts.
Locke used to be in the barracks, and in the winter, when he was repairing after the battle, he relied on playing cards in the military tent to waste time. The winter in Charlotte is not colder than that of Faustin, the difference here is that it snows more than Faustin, and when a snow falls, it can reach people's waists when it is deep.
In this environment, it is difficult to carry out normal activities, let alone find other pleasures.
Locke looked around, the cave they lived in was halfway up the mountainside, the field of vision was relatively wide, at this time the surrounding area was really a white land, the previous jungle could not see the traces at all, all under the snow, only a few more than ten meters high hundred-year-old trees are still standing, but looking at their appearance, only a small part of the exposed part.
Looking back at the area where he and the Moonlight Wolf were fighting, several "little saplings" stood up with iron bones, as if no amount of snow could crush their backbones. Locke seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and he asked Angelina, "Do you remember where the corpse of that moonlight wolf is?"
"Huh?" Angelina didn't understand what Locke meant at first, and pointed in a daze and said, "It should be in that place." ”
"Let's go! let's go to the corpse of the moonlight wolf!" Locke lifted his leg and left, now the only hard wound on his body was a broken rib in his chest, and he couldn't do a lot of hard work, but he couldn't walk.
"Hey, do you want to?" Angelina seemed to understand Locke's thoughts, and hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Do you want to eat its corpse?"
"Of course!" Locke limped along, didn't take two steps to cover his chest and bared his teeth, Angelina hurriedly stepped forward to help Locke, Locke walked fine, but a little more violently, the broken ribs in the chest would prick its spleen and stomach pain.
Arriving at the location of the battle that day, Locke also roughly deduced the location of the moonlight wolf from the surrounding trees.
"Dig!" said Locke.
Without the right tools, the two had to dig the snow by hand. Fortunately, although the weather is sunny at this time, the snow has not melted due to the low temperature, and the fluffy snow is easier to excavate.
It has been more than 20 days since the battle, and there have been several large and small snows during this time, and the depth is a full two meters, and it took Locke and Angelina half a day to dig to the end. The main thing is that there are no tools, if there is a shovel, even if Locke is injured, he can definitely do it by himself for an hour.
When digging underneath and touching the soil, a hard wolf corpse appeared, and the gray wolf hair had been frozen so that the hair stood on end, and it even hurt to the touch.
Locke and Angelina worked together to pull the body of the moonlight wolf out of the snow pit.
Although the two-meter-long, one-and-a-half-meter-tall moonlight wolf has long since died, it is still relatively well preserved under the snow, and it is still alive at this time, the hideous wolf head, and the blind eyes of the black hole staring at the front in a daze, giving Angelina a lot of pressure.
Locke stepped forward in surprise, he had seen more dead corpses than Angelina had ever seen, and there were countless more terrible than this, a dead wolf that he killed, what was he afraid of. Mobilize a little fighting spirit in the palm of his hand, and slap at the hard wolf corpse, after the click, the wolf corpse collapsed, and the flesh and blood of the moonlight wolf were broken apart, only wrapped in a wolf skin.
Angelina was taken aback by the sudden turn of events. But the recent encounter made her nerves sharpen, and she was not frightened to scream.
"Sure enough. Locke secretly said, he was still a servant soldier in the winter when he first joined the army, and once he was shouted to pull the corpse after the war, there were too many soldiers who died in Faustin, and these corpses were to be burned into ashes in the camp and brought back to Faustin, and there were very few orphans like Kane who came to serve as soldiers, most of them had families, and the ashes of those who died in the war were brought back to their families, which could be regarded as a memory for their families.
Locke's battalion was also the first time to go to war that year, and many of the unlucky guys died before they could understand what war was, and the casualty rate of Faustin's army in the first year was quite high. I still remember that it was after a heavy snowfall, Locke went to the battlefield to clean up the corpses of the dead people in their camp, the snow was so heavy that it often took a long time to dig people out before they could be pulled away.
Locke was impressed by the fact that with just a slight bump, a corpse he was pulling was broken into several pieces, which really scared Locke, who had just joined the army for less than a year. Uncle Yoshak, who was also old at the time, explained to him, "It's all frozen, you see the broken ballast, the blood and flesh are fresh." "Locke used to pull corpses a lot, and under normal temperatures, dead corpses would stink and turn black within half a day, which was very different from this kind of frozen.
The body of the moonlight wolf at this time was not much different from the frozen corpse that Locke had seen a few years ago, "I hope I can still eat it." Locke said.
The corpse of the moonlight wolf, whose flesh had been shattered into several pieces, was easy to carry, and Locke and Angelina dragged the wolf fur back to the cave where they lived without much effort.
After the two of them got the moonlight wolf back, Locke took his short dagger and began to cut the wolf skin of the moonlight wolf, he used to hunt game, for the skin of the live car is familiar with the road, the skin of the moonlight wolf is so good, smooth and smooth, and the most important thing is white, Angelina must be very beautiful to wear, Locke thought so in his heart.
With a "sting", the moonlight wolf's fur was torn open, revealing the flesh that was broken into several pieces, the flesh was still red, and a fishy smell came out. Luckily, it didn't break, and Locke breathed a sigh of relief.
The food of the night is roast wolf meat. The barbecue sprinkled with Huoyun fruit powder and salt, the two of them ate it with relish, although they have been eating the barbecue for almost a month, but for those who are hungry, it is nothing. In the first two days, both of them ate very little in order to save food.
"By the way, this wolf has been dead for several days before it snowed, why is the wolf meat so fresh?" Locke wondered, and he learned from Angelina about the days he was in a coma.
"The flesh of the monster contains magical power, and even if the monster dies, as long as their flesh still contains magical power, the body will maintain its own attributes. Angelina said, "Freshness is even more trivial for ice-type Warcraft, if it is a fire or dark one, it will not work, one rots quickly, and the other is corrosive." ”
"Fortunately, this is a headlight system. Locke said, after Angelina's popular science, he learned some common things about magic, the light system has the ability to heal itself, and the wolf meat can stay fresh for so long, it is estimated that the light magic has been repairing the activity of the demon wolf's muscles.
Locke took a big bite of the meat in his mouth, he hadn't eaten a demonized creature yet, he ate the meat of the monster for the first time, of course he didn't want to waste it, and Uncle Yoshak told him that the meat of the monster was a nourishing ability for these knights, and he wouldn't let it go.
Angelina is only a 16-year-old girl now, but in terms of physique alone, she is close to the third-class soldier who has worked hard in the barracks for several years, and this is all by eating and eating. In this world, most of the time, birth determines height.
Wolf meat and horse meat are the meat that Locke hates the most, one is astringent and the other is sour, if he has to do it, Locke will never eat these two kinds of meat, he would rather nibble on black bread.
But the wolf meat of the moonlight wolf is different from ordinary wolf meat, Locke does not have any astringency in the bushes, but there is a tender feeling in the mouth, just like eating dog meat. Dog meat and chicken were Locke's favorite foods, and when he was a team leader, he often took his brothers to the occupied villages of Charlotte to fight tooth sacrifices.
It's delicious, then eat more, Locke may also be hungry, or it may be to recover his body's needs, just one meal has killed nearly the amount of food he had eaten in the previous two days, this is pure meat.
Fortunately, the corpse of the moonlight wolf is big enough, and now there is snow to keep it fresh, so it is not a big problem for the two of them to eat it for a week.
After the meal, Angelina touched her round little belly and lay on Locke's chest, she would never have imagined that she would eat so much meat in one meal. Fortunately, she has lost weight wildly these days, and she is not afraid of eating fat herself.
Now that Angelina and Locke are no longer a little estranged, there is no longer a small class influence between the princess and the commoner boy like Locke just saved Angelina, and at this time they only have each other's dependence in their eyes.
In the evening, when Locke and Angelina finished practicing separately and were ready to go to bed, Locke said to Angelina, "Three days later, let's leave!"
Angelina nodded yes, and the two hugged each other and fell asleep.
Although they have met frankly many times, the two have not made the last step, one is that Locke really doesn't dare to do anything to Angelina now, the two have to go out, and they have to face friends, subordinates, and bosses around them, if the nobles know that Locke, a commoner boy, has an affair with their princess, it is estimated that there is only one way to wait for Locke.
The second is that Angelina is not ready, she is only 16 years old, although Locke is not a junior brother at this age, and most Faustin people are also married and have children at this age, but Angelina is a royal family, and members of the royal family stipulate that they can only marry or marry when they are 18 years old, which is to ensure the quality and purity of the royal bloodline.
As for why Locke is not the first brother, well, in the first two years of joining the army, the little guy who just joined the army hovered between life and death every day, if there was no venting, Locke really didn't know if he could bear it. At that time, Locke was a frequent visitor to the logistics quartermaster's office.
