Chapter 3: The Bait of the Wolf Hunt

What he saw and heard tonight was completely beyond the scope of Slave Thirteen's cognition.

He also lived hungry until now, but Nu Thirteen never thought of eating people.

No one has ever told Slave Thirteen what the bottom line is to be a human being, but he just knows that even the most ferocious wolf will not eat his own kind.

But today, the gray-clothed slave is in the wolf's mouth, snatching human livers.

This shocked Slave Thirteen and couldn't help but feel creepy.

What surprised Slave Thirteen even more was the calmness of the gray-clothed slave.

From beginning to end, the guy didn't show the slightest fluster, even if he turned around and walked out of the sinkhole now, he didn't take a slow step, and he didn't look at the wolves behind him.

What was even more puzzling to the Slave Thirteen was that the wolves did not run out to chase after them, and only after the gray-clothed slaves had gone away did they gather around the corpse and continue to eat.

And the gray-clothed slave, chewing the liver in his mouth so calmly, extinguished the torch, and disappeared into the night.

......

Nu Thirteen regretted coming to see this scene, which made him unable to calm down for a long time, and even lost the desire to continue eating.

After hiding in the stone shadow for a long time, Slave Thirteen dared to leave to return to the slave cave.

He didn't want to be noticed by the grey slave.

Slave Thirteen felt that the guy was more dangerous than a wolf.

......

Soon after, he quietly returned to the slave slum.

You have to go to sleep and get up tomorrow morning to work.

In this way, the life of Slave Thirteen continues to repeat everything from yesterday.

Work, eat, and sleep.

He still secretly got up in the middle of the night and went out to dig in the soil, but he didn't run far anymore.

And so it went on for four days.

On the night of the fifth day, Nu Thirteen, as usual, came to the foot of the back mountain and dug grass roots to fill his stomach.

At this time, he squatted in the grass family and swallowed the bitter grass root juice in his mouth. Just as he was about to dig up the roots of another weed, he suddenly felt an eerie cold wind blowing behind him.

Slave Thirteen was shocked, and quickly stood up, turned to look behind.

Yet, there was nothing.

......

It's not that Slave Thirteen is making a fuss, but because, when he came out three or four nights in a row, he vaguely felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him behind him.

But when I looked back, I couldn't find anything.

This feeling made Slave Thirteen very uncomfortable.

He plans to go back early today to rest.

Throwing the remaining half of the blade of grass in his palm into his mouth, Slave Thirteen jumped out of the grass and turned around to leave.

"What? Are you full so quickly today?"

Slave Thirteen, who was about to move and walk, suddenly heard this sentence coming from behind him, and his pupils suddenly shrank, and his body jumped forward like a frightened cat!

When he landed, Slave Thirteen picked up a branch in his hand, and after quickly making a defensive posture, he looked at the source of the speech with wide eyes.

I saw a tall and thin man standing on the grass under the moonlight.

Through the moonlight, you can see the general appearance of this person. He has high cheekbones, a long chin, and a ragged gray coat.

Slave Thirteen recognized it at a glance, this guy was the gray-clothed slave who snatched human livers under the wolf's mouth in the sinkhole at midnight five days ago!

After recognizing the slave, Slave Thirteen immediately became vigilant. His hand gripping the branch clenched tighter, and his palms were sweaty.

The gray-clothed slave grinned, smiled, and asked, "Don't you know me?"

Slave Thirteen's eyes were fixed on the man, and after a long time, he replied in a hoarse voice, "I don't know." ”

The gray-clothed slave laughed, "Don't you recognize, wasn't it you who peeked at me outside the sinkhole the night five days ago?"

Hearing this, Nu Thirteen's eyes froze, and he was silent for a moment and said, "It turns out that you noticed it at that time!"

The gray-clothed slave smiled and nodded, "Not bad." Since that day, I have been secretly watching you every night. ”

Hearing this, Nu Thirteen's eyes gradually became cold, "Observe me, what is your purpose?"

"I see you going out every night in search of food......"

The gray-clothed slave smiled and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you're already completely sure of becoming a slave, right?"

With that, the gray-clothed slave continued, "You can already lift the stone lock, right?"

Slave Thirteen replied in his low, hoarse voice, "It's your business?"

Slave Thirteen originally thought that the gray-clothed slave would be provoked, but the guy still kept his smile at the moment, "Of course it's my business. Because we all have the same purpose, we are all so diligent in exercising our bodies and looking for food to replenish our vitality in order to become slaves. So...... We are like-minded. ”

Nu Thirteen was a little impatient: "Like-minded, how about that? If you have anything to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush anymore." ”

The gray-clothed slave nodded, began to smile, and said solemnly, "I want to cooperate with you to get some meat to eat." ”

"Meat?"

At this moment, Nu Thirteen suddenly recalled the night five days ago, when this person cut off the liver of a dead man and chewed on it.

couldn't help frowning, "I don't like to eat human flesh." ”

The gray-clothed slave laughed, "You misunderstood, I don't like to eat human flesh either." ”

The gray-clad slave seemed to sigh.

"Competing with wild beasts for food is also a helpless move...... We slaves, in order to survive, sometimes have to use a little extraordinary means. ”

With that, he looked up at Slave Thirteen.

"However, if I succeed with you this time, I won't have to eat those dead people anymore. And you don't have to eat these grass roots and bark anymore. ”

When Slave Thirteen heard this, his heart moved.

He lowered the branch he was using for defense, but he still held it tightly in the palm of his hand, never letting go.

"What are you going to do?"

In the dark shadow of the moon, the gray-clad slave grinned open, a mouthful of white teeth leaking out.

"I'm going to hunt wolves!"

Hearing this, Slave Thirteen frowned.

Wolf hunting is a very dangerous thing to do. If you are accidentally injured, let alone become a slave soldier, it is unknown whether you can survive in the slave cave.

However, Slave Thirteen does need to eat meat. There are still two months left to participate in the selection of slave soldiers, and it is too reluctant to eat grass roots and bark......

Nu Thirteen's eyes flashed slightly, and he was a little hesitant.

After a long time, Slave Thirteen looked at the gray-clothed slave and asked, "Why did you choose me to hunt wolves together?"

"Because in my wolf hunting plan, I need a companion who is agile and has a lot of strength. ”

Nu Thirteen continued to ask, "What kind of plan is the wolf hunting plan?"

The gray-clothed slave smiled slightly, "If you want to know, please come with me!"

With that, he jumped up from the grass, flew over the head of Slave Thirteen, and leaped in one direction in the night.

Slave Thirteen turned and looked in that direction for a moment, and then chased after him in a few jumps.

......

Under the moonlight, Nu Thirteen followed the gray-clothed figure in front of him, and had been running between the steep mountain walls for half an hour, and finally came to the top of a cliff valley.

At this time, the gray-clothed slave was standing at the head of the cliff, he looked back at the slave thirteen who came with him, and beckoned, "Come and see this cliff valley." ”

Hearing this, Nu Thirteen slowly approached the edge of the cliff and leaned down through the moonlight.

It is a pocket-like valley surrounded by cliffs on three sides, with narrow passages on only one side.

At this time, the cliff top where Nu Thirteen was located was about a dozen zhang high from the bottom of the cliff valley below.

Seeing such a cliff valley, Nu Thirteen immediately guessed the wolf hunting plan in his heart.

At this moment, the gray-clothed slave opened his mouth and asked, "How do you feel about this terrain?"

Nu 13 looked at the bottom of the dark valley from afar, his eyes flashed slightly, he nodded his head, and responded, "This is a good place to set up an ambush!"

The gray-clothed slave laughed, "You're really smart...... Yes, my wolf hunt plan is to lure the wolves here. When they enter this pocket array, we can block the only passage with boulders, and the wolves will be trapped at the bottom of the valley and slaughtered!"

Slave Thirteen was silent for a moment, then straightened up and looked at the gray-clothed slave, and said in his hoarse and deep voice, "This is indeed a good plan...... Only, who's going to be the bait?"

The gray-clothed slave smiled faintly, "I took the initiative to propose the wolf hunting plan. So, of course, I was the bait. ”

Slave Thirteen's eyes flashed, and he asked, "When I first saw you five days ago, you were fighting with wolves for food. Now he is willing to be a bait and take the initiative to hunt wolves...... Aren't you afraid of wolves?"

The gray-clothed slave smiled when he heard this, "Of course I'm afraid of wolves, but I'm even more afraid of starvation. ”

After laughing, he continued, "Actually, I am not a reckless person. Before approaching the wolves, I also thought about it seriously...... There are often dead slave corpses in the sinkhole, so most of the wolves that live near here are not hungry wolves, as long as you are calm enough not to make the wolves aware of the fear in their hearts, you can easily force the wolves back and cut something out of their mouths. But this process must be fast, and the patience of the wolf must not be provoked! After obtaining a piece of meat, immediately turn away and do not be greedy. As long as enough food is left for the wolves, they will not chase the living. ”

"I see......"

After listening to the words of the gray-clothed slave, Slave Thirteen couldn't help but admire this guy a little.

This person is bold and careful!

......

The gray-clothed slave looked up at the sky for a moment, and then looked at Slave Thirteen: "It's too late today, let's start the wolf hunt plan tomorrow." To save time, we don't have to meet again tomorrow and can go our separate ways. Come to this cliff when you are a child, and prepare the boulders to wait. Be sure to keep an eye on the movement at the bottom of the valley, and as soon as I lure the wolves into the pocket array, I will immediately drop boulders to block the intersection, so as not to miss the opportunity. ”

After a thoughtful pause, Nu Thirteen asked, "If I block the intersection, won't you also be in the middle of it?"

"I've surveyed the bottom of the valley, and there's a gap in it that can accommodate one person and is about two feet deep. Tomorrow night, as soon as I bring in the wolves, I will hide in that crevice. When you trap the wolves, the brutes will panic and ignore me. When the time comes, you can use rocks on the top of the cliff to kill the wolves. ”

Slave Thirteen nodded silently.

After a long time, the gray-clothed slave spoke, "So...... That's it for today, you can go back and rest early. We'll see you tomorrow night when we're done eating wolf meat. ”

With that, he turned and walked into the darkness.

Slave Thirteen looked at the gray-clothed figure that gradually disappeared into the night, slightly distracted, and his heart turned a thousand times.

After a long time, he sighed, "I didn't expect that there would be such a thoughtful person among the slaves......"

The gray slave's entire wolf hunt plan was perfect, and there were almost no flaws.

Nu Thirteen felt that in this plan, the advantage he took was really not ordinary.

In comparison, the grey slaves took more risks.

Obviously, this was not fair to the gray-clothed slave, and this unfairness also made Slave Thirteen feel a little uneasy.

He always felt that he had to do something more to be worthy of such a perfect wolf hunting plan.

While thinking, Nu Thirteen moved his steps lightly, preparing to go down the mountain.

After walking about two or three steps, I suddenly felt that I stepped on something. He quickly looked down, then bent down to pick up something at his feet.

Straighten up, and by the moonlight, take advantage of the things in your hands.

It turned out to be a pile of withered grass.

Looking at the withered grass in his hand, the corners of Slave Thirteen's mouth rose and a smile was raised.

After a long time, he muttered to himself, "What a good plan......

After saying to himself, Slave Thirteen threw away the withered grass in his hand, and his figure flashed, and in a few jumps, he disappeared into the darkness under the mountain.

......

After dawn, Slave Thirteen, along with the other slaves, went through the daily routine of doing hard labor in the Lingyu vein as always.

It wasn't until night came again that he sneaked out of the slave cave and jumped towards the top of the cliff that he had agreed with the gray-clothed slave yesterday.

An hour later, Slave Thirteen had everything ready on the edge of the cliff.

He carried a dozen boulders and placed them on the edge of the cliff, and then lowered a rope down the cliff valley.

......

Soon, the time was approaching.

At this moment, in the midst of the moon shadow and frost, a figure in ragged clothes crouched on the edge of the cliff.

The crouching figure is the slave thirteen who made an agreement with the gray-clothed slave and paid close attention to the movements at the bottom of the valley.

He remained motionless, as if he was afraid that some superfluous movements would delay the best time to hunt wolves.

The cold wind blew, and Nu Thirteen's figure seemed to stir slightly.

Suddenly, a black shadow jumped up from behind Slave Thirteen and kicked him in the back!

This kick is powerful and heavy, and the killing opportunity is revealed.

With a "bang", Slave Thirteen fell headlong into the bottom of the cliff valley......

At this moment, on the edge of the cliff, there is a human figure looking down. Through the moonlight, you can see his face with a hideous smile.

Exactly the Grey Slave!

He smiled and whispered to himself, "Naive fool...... The best bait for wolf hunting, of course, is your bloody corpse!"

......

"You're right. ”

......

The gray-clothed slave who was smiling proudly froze in an instant! Immediately after, he felt a chill in the back of his heart, and a sharp pain penetrated his chest!

The gray-clothed slave's eyes widened rapidly, and with a "wow!", he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then, his gaze wandered. He saw a spear made of animal bones from his chest!

The gray-clothed slave endured the severe pain, turned his cheek with difficulty, and saw a slender figure with a naked upper body standing behind him.

That man, although thin, was covered with interwoven muscles!

On the half of his cheeks, which was covered by his long and scattered hair, there was a coldness and resoluteness beyond his age.

A pair of eyes, implying the cold glow of a wild fox's eyes.

This person is none other than Slave Thirteen!

He held a bone spear in his hand, piercing through the chest of the gray-clad slave.

The gray-clothed slave at this moment, with a look of unwillingness and disbelief on his face. He struggled to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth: "You...... You're not ...... Kick it down?......"

The corners of Slave Thirteen's mouth curled into a sarcastic smile, "What you kicked into the cliff was just a scarecrow in my clothes." ”

The gray-clothed slave was full of remorse, and couldn't help but grit his teeth, "Damn stinky boy...... You!...... Hello deep city!"

Slave Thirteen slowly twisted the spear in his hand and said slowly, "You are wrong. I don't have any cities, I just never trusted anyone. ”

Because the flesh in his chest was being stirred by the tip of the spear, the gray-clothed slave's face was extremely distorted in pain, and he screamed continuously.

Immediately after, Slave Thirteen jerked his spear out of the gray-clad slave's chest.

"Wow!" the gray-clothed slave spurted out another mouthful of blood, and his body fell forward and fell to the bottom of the cliff.

......

In the moonlight, Slave Thirteen stood on the top of the cliff with one hand leaning on the spear.

He bowed his head slightly, looking down.

After a long time, he muttered to himself, "But...... Thank you so much. Not only taught me such a good wolf hunting plan...... I also personally presented such a wonderful ...... Wolf hunting bait ......"
