Chapter 602: The caravan is surrounded

"Crackle, crackle," the roaring bonfire made a dull popping sound from time to time, and after the caravan had been marching on the Yingfeng Grassland for half a day, the people were sleepy and tired, so they decided to rest for the time being.

After resting and eating, we could continue our journey, gathering the moose together, and the caravan guards and men were in groups of three or five to raise a bonfire beside the moose.

In addition to the dead grass and leaves collected from the surrounding area, the fuel for the campfire is mainly dried moose dung cakes, which are smokeless and durable, and the light smoke has a faint grass fragrance, which is necessary for caravans to walk underground.

"Zi, zi," Liu Yu sat alone beside a bonfire, on which there was a hare that had been hit, and it was bubbling with oil, and there were many rabbits in this grassland in addition to cave rats.

In addition, the intermittent wolf howls from the open grassland in the distance indicate that there are many wolves here.

"Hmm!" When Liu Yu was turning the roast rabbit on the bonfire, he suddenly felt a thorn in his back behind him, and turned around suddenly, and the few strange northerners sitting around the bonfire not far behind him were looking at this side and whispering, and when they saw Liu Yu turn around, they hurriedly turned sideways.

Soon after setting off from the town, along the way, Liu Yu found that someone was secretly peeking at him, and after paying attention, he found that it was the people around the campfire behind him.

These men were all fresh faces, and judging by their mannerisms, they should have been risky servants hired by the grain merchant, and like him, they were temporary guards.

Liu Yu frowned, he was sure that he had never seen these people, so he didn't know what the intentions of these people were?

Could it be the people of the Ghost Shark Gladiatorial Arena? Liu Yu's heart couldn't help but be covered with a layer of haze, as the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and he is afraid that he will be targeted, so he needs to deal with it carefully.

"It's so fragrant!" Just as Liu Yu was deep in thought, a man from the north who was as strong as a bear, and the captain of the caravan's guard, "Red Bear", came over, looked at the scorched yellow rabbit meat that was sizzling in the fire, and sat down with his mouth and said.

"The heat is about the same, it will be fine in a while!" Liu Yu flipped over the roast rabbit, sprinkled a handful of salt and spices, and then roasted it for a while, tore off one of the rabbit's hind legs, handed it over, and let the other party taste it.

"Then brother, I'm welcome!" Red Bear took a big bite of his hind legs, just one word "fragrant", I didn't expect that the craftsmanship of this Zhongzhou Taoist was good, no worse than the one in the tavern.

"How can good meat be without good wine, come, Dao Chief, drink some!" After eating the meat, Chi Xiong smiled and took out a pot of good wine and handed it out, this Zhongzhou Taoist is a foundation building monk in the escort team in addition to him.

Along the way, the red bear intends to make friends, in fact, it is nothing more than hoping that if something happens to the caravan, this person can reach out and make some efforts, instead of patting his ass and slipping away.

Red Bear knew the little reward given by the owner, and this lord would definitely not look down on it, and he could take on this escort mission.

It was nothing more than a way, and in this case, for a veteran like him, who had been roaming underground all year round, it was clear at a glance that each caravan had its own official escort, and Red Bear had been the captain of the guard of this caravan for many years.

Caravans traveling underground, in addition to their own escorts, usually hire some adventure mercenaries from the adventure union as temporary guards at a low price before departure.

The bid is not high, but it can always recruit some people, because many adventurous mercenaries who are on the way, with the mentality that they can earn a spirit stone is a spirit stone, most of them are willing to become temporary guards.

Besides, traveling with a caravan, at least you don't have to worry about eating and drinking.

"Whew~!" Just as Liu Yu and the guard chief had a casual chat, two northland people carrying an iron cage were flying from far to near with the art of resisting the wind.

This sudden change caused the personnel of the three caravans to get up and stand up one after another, which was all the one who robbed the road, but it was not right, only two people came.

When the two men approached, they stopped, and sat down casually in the outer circle of the caravan, and the two men were out of breath, apparently having traveled a long way.

As soon as they sat down, the two of them took the elixir, and no one began to exercise and regulate their qi, and there was an iron cage covered with black cloth between the two, which was mysterious.

"Whew!" Seeing that these two men were passers-by, they should have seen that there was a bonfire here, so they hurried over to rest, and the caravan did not pay much attention.

But as soon as there was a pillar of incense, everyone felt that something was wrong, and the wolf howl from a distance became more and more urgent, and louder and louder, obviously this was a wolf pack approaching quickly.

This change took place shortly after the arrival of the two strangers, and when the caravan was about to question the two men, the two men did not say a word, got up and lifted the iron cage, and sped forward, and the figure disappeared into the dim meadow in a few breaths.

"It's not a good place to stay long, let's go!" something was wrong, the red bear shouted with a solemn face, and the three caravans began to pack up, extinguish the campfire, tie up the harness, pull up the moose that had been fed, and prepare to start on the road.

"What kind of person!" Not long after the caravan hit the road, two more figures appeared in front of him, and if he looked closely, it was not the two people carrying the black cloth iron cage, going and returning.

"Whew!" no longer had to be answered by the two men, and everyone knew what had happened, for two sturdy wolves rushed out from behind them.

One black and one white, the stronger one has a black mane, bared teeth, and looks hideous, while the slightly petite one, covered in snow-colored wolf hair, has a slender body, revealing a sense of agility.

Judging from the spiritual power exuded by these two giant spirit wolves, they have all reached the foundation building period, and the red bear secretly screamed in his heart, isn't this a two-headed "Steppenwolf King"?

The conjecture in his heart soon became clear at a glance, because from the darkness in the distance around the caravan, a pair of green and faint wolf eyes were constantly emerging, and a suppressed low roar made everyone in the caravan feel cold.

"Get all the moose together, quick!" shouted the experienced Red Bear, who didn't think much about it.

The three caravans moved quickly, all of them were old packees who had been walking underground for many years, and soon rushed to a group of nearly 100-year-old moose, blindfolded them with sackcloth, and at the same time took out the "silent note" and stuck it to the door of the moose's head, making the moose temporarily deaf.

In this way, the moose will not panic because they hear the wolf howl, and it is a small matter if the moose are lost, or they are bitten to death by these cave wolves, it is a big loss.

Together, these moose can also free up more manpower to defend against the next wolf attack.

"If you get closer, I'll kill you!" The two northerners carrying the iron cage also wanted to enter the defensive circle, but before they could get closer, a few sword qi stopped the two people, and it was the group of people who were secretly watching Liu Yu who attacked.

"In the cage are the two wolf king cubs that our brothers stole from the wolf cave not long ago, both of them are mutated fifth-order "moon wolves", but good things, if you let us in, keep our brothers safe, and wait for the wolf cubs to make a move, and the spirit stone will share with you. Seeing the dilemma, one of them suddenly lifted the black cloth covering the iron cage and pointed to the two sleeping white-haired wolf cubs in the cage and said.

It turned out that a team of adventurous mercenaries, including these two people, stumbled upon a wolf cave lair and found that the two wolf cubs born to the wolf king were actually fifth-order "moon wolves" with higher bloodlines.

The so-called people die for money, birds die for food, these people also don't want to die, they dare to hide not far from the wolf den, secretly stare at every move in the wolf's den, the hard work pays off, and they are really waiting for the opportunity by these people.

Just today, the two wolf kings went out together, the group was overjoyed, and after the two wolf kings went away, they actually stormed the wolf cave, although they paid a heavy price, but they successfully captured the two wolf cubs.

It's just that the good luck of this group of people has also come to an end, and when they fled, they happened to meet the two wolf kings who rushed back in a rage, and this group of people was chased by wolves all the way, and now only these two people are left in the team.

"Boss, or..."Someone was obviously moved, the two fifth-order "Moon Wolf" cubs, if they were successfully brought back to Moby Dick Harbor, the price of each cub would probably not be less than one million.

I don't know how these two cubs fell into the hands of these two people, not only the group of people who secretly watched Liu Yu were moved, but even the rest of the caravan was also a little moved.

"Whew!" Just as everyone hesitated, the black-maned wolf king, who was originally afraid of the many monks in the caravan, let out an angry roar, it couldn't wait any longer, and ordered the wolves to attack, obviously in the eyes of the wolf king, the caravan and the two thieves were in the same group.

As soon as the wolf king gave an order, the surrounding "cave wolves" rushed towards the caravan surrounded by a circle like arrows from the string, black pressure was like a wave, I am afraid that there are hundreds, Liu Yu couldn't help but sweat in the palms of his hands, this is really a disaster from the sky, luck back home.

"Prepare for battle, hold the line!" Several captains of the guards shouted loudly and cheered on the "cave wolves" who rushed in all directions, cheering up their guards and adventurous mercenaries.

There are so many "cave wolves", just their own people, they can only defend the circle formation, if the circle is broken and the caravan is scattered by the wolves, then everything will be over.
