Chapter 213: Encountering Wolves at Night
The crowd continued to walk forward and walked out of the dense forest before the sun went down, after all, at night, the miasma born in the dense forest was not as easy to deal with as during the day.
Baili Shu was still distressed all the way for the immortal eight-colored thrush that was released, after all, it was a bird worth five hundred taels of silver.
"Okay, don't be annoyed, when you get to Jingjiang Mansion, I'll find another one for you, after all, this is the southern border, so it must not be difficult. Yu Zhong saw through his mind and comforted.
"Haha, this is what you said, you are not allowed to go back!" Bai Liyu's face immediately changed, it turned out that his chagrin was all pretended, and he was waiting here for the rest of the words.
"Don't mess around, don't you think Fang Cai's miasma is a little strange?" Yu returned to the topic.
"Brother Yu is saying that someone did it on purpose?" Ye Xiaoxiao replied.
"That's right, as Pu Huan said, most of the miasma in the dense forest occurs at night, and this afternoon is extremely rare, and this miasma seems to be targeting us, surrounded from all sides, which is really strange. Yu Zhong said.
"I think it's a little strange when you say that. If it's man-made, then who is it? It can't be Pu Huan. Bai Li said.
"Of course it won't be him, he won't take himself on the line in order to murder us, not to mention that his target is just goods, and there is no need to form other grudges with us. Yu Zhong shook his head and said.
"I know, it's Master Mu, he hasn't been seen since he disappeared the night before. Ye Xiaoxiao said.
"Smoke miasma, this is what Master Mu is good at, I think nine times out of ten it is him. He has repeatedly failed to rob darts, and he must have been unwilling to lose his troops, and it seems that he doesn't know what trap tracks are on the road behind him. Yu replied.
"Whatever, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, this time I want to see him again, I will spank him and bloom. Baili said nonchalantly.
However, this Mu Shiyou is indeed enough nonsense, and he made a package ticket in front of Pu Huan, promising to rob the goods, but he created a miasma without notifying Pu Huan, and almost even he was pitted.
At this time, Pu Huan's heart was also angry, and he secretly decided in his heart that no matter whether the thing was successful or not, he could never spare this person's life anymore.
On the other side, Master Mu led people to search in the dense forest for a long time, but they did not see the bodies of the dart team, so they knew that everyone had successfully escaped from the dense forest.
However, he didn't just prepare this hand, in order to get the goods in his hands, this time he took out his old bottom, and prepared several big gifts for Yu Zhong and others on the way, just waiting for them to go.
Because of the miasma, the dart team made some detours and could not reach the villages and towns in time to spend the night, so everyone had to set up thatched huts in the mountains and build bonfires.
The night in the mountains is cold, after all, it is already winter. Yu Zhong walked out of the tent and saw Ye Xiaoxiao looking at the stars in a daze.
"It's cold at night, don't catch the cold. Yu Zhong said, draping a cloak on Ye Xiaoxiao's body.
"Brother Yu, my master said that the dead relatives have turned into stars in the sky, watching us and guarding us, do you think this is true?" Ye Xiaoxiao said emotionally.
"Are you missing your family?" asked Yu Zhong.
Who knew that Ye Xiaoxiao heard this, but shook her head and said: "I don't have a family, and I don't know what they look like, the master said that I was picked up by her from the side of the road." ”
"I see...... Little girl, you don't have to be sad, your master should be very good to you. Yu Zhong didn't know how to comfort her.
At this time, Yu Zhong suddenly remembered Ye Xiaoxiao's little junior sister, Ning Xizi. She seems to be an orphan too, it turns out that the two of them have the same life experience, no wonder the relationship between the two seems so good.
"Brother Yu, look, there are a pair of green stars there, flickering and flickering, as if they are very close to us. Ye Xiaoxiao said suddenly.
In the direction of her finger, there was really a pair of green stars, flickering on and off, as if they were still moving. Yu Zhong looked in the direction, it didn't matter what he saw, and he broke out in a cold sweat, where is this star, this is clearly a wolf's eye.
At this time, many pairs of green eyes appeared all around, dotted with stars, more and more, and they had encountered a pack of wolves, and it seemed that there were at least thirty or forty vicious wolves.
The horses in the dart team began to be restless, and Yu Zhong hurriedly grabbed the reins of Teruyabai to reassure it. He felt that he had heard the low roar of the wolves, and felt the breath of the beast already beside him, and his back felt a chill.
Wolves are the most cunning animals, and when they are in packs, they even dare to snatch food from the mouths of fierce tigers, which shows the terrible nature of wolves.
Everyone noticed that something was wrong and gathered around the campfire. Wolves are afraid of campfires, so at least everyone can be safe.
Gradually, the wolves began to shrink their encirclement, exposed to the light of the fire, and even their sharp teeth and fierce light in their eyes could be clearly seen.
Suddenly, some of the horses were so frightened that they broke free from their reins and galloped into the darkness. In an instant, more than a dozen wolves chased after them, tearing the innocent horse to pieces.
"Don't panic, pick up the torch and wave it, the wolves will not dare to approach, as long as they hold on until dawn, the wolves will naturally retreat. Pu Huan was experienced and hurriedly said.
Everyone hurriedly picked up the torches, and sure enough, the wolves did not dare to approach a single step, but just wandered around. It's just a few hours before dawn, but I have to get through it.
I don't know if God is joking with everyone, or if they are too unlucky. After a while, it began to rain in the mountains.
I saw that the flames of the bonfire began to slowly grow smaller, and once the bonfire was extinguished, everyone might be reduced to the feast of the beasts.
Pu Huan's face turned white with fright at this time, and his whole body began to tremble, although he wanted to run, he felt that his legs were completely unable to pull up as if they were filled with lead.
"What to do, Boss. Bai Li asked him.
"Do you see the biggest wolf with white stray hair on the back of the pack?" Yu Zhong said, pointing to one of the wolves in the pack.
The wolf stood majestically in the midst of the wolves, and the wolves around him seemed to obey its command, which was obviously the wolf king of the pack.
Baili Yu immediately understood what Yu Zhong meant, he wanted to kill this wolf king, once there was no head wolf, the wolves would have no command, and they would become scattered, so it would be easy to deal with.
Seeing that the campfire would soon go out, they had to hurry up. Yu Zhong took the bow and arrow handed over by others, opened the bow and shot, who knew that this wolf king was extremely agile, and only easily jumped, and dodged this arrow.
Yu Zhong shot two arrows in a row, but they were easily dodged by the wolf king.
Immediately after, the wolf king snorted, and the surrounding wolves became impatient, and surrounded Yu Zhong and Baili Shu.
"It's over, boss, you seem to have provoked it, it wants to kill us first. Baili said in a panic.
Yu Zhong didn't expect that this beast would be so sensitive, and it seemed that he had to think of a different way.
"You cover me. Yu Zhong handed the bow and arrow to Baili Xuan, picked up the Yanjun sword, and he had a new plan.
"Boss, you don't want to fight in close quarters, these brutes are much more flexible than humans. Bai Li said.
However, he really got right, seeing that the long-range attack was ineffective, Yu Zhong could only risk a close attempt, but he needed someone to help him distract the wolves.
"We only have one chance, don't make a mistake. Yu looked at the fire, and the smoke was already rising, and if the rain was a little heavier, the bonfire would be extinguished immediately.
What's more important is that the range that the firelight can reach is getting smaller and smaller, and even if it is heavy, he is not confident that he can hit with a precise blow in the dark.
"Don't worry. After Bai Li Shu finished speaking, he immediately drew his bow and aimed at the wolf king, just waiting for Yu Zhong to give an order.
"Two young heroes, you must be careful, don't make a mistake. Pu Huan was muttering on the side, he had no other way at the moment, so he had to pray that Yu Zhong and Baili Yu could hit with one blow.
"Up!" Almost at the moment when Yu Chong's words fell, the feather arrow in Bai Liyu's hand broke through the wind, and Yu Chong's figure was even faster than the arrow, and he rushed out one step ahead.
Almost at the moment when the arrow left the string, the bonfire went out, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness. I heard a dragon groan in the darkness, and a dark red light flashed.
This was followed by a miserable wolf howl, and the surrounding green fluorescent suddenly pounced in one direction, followed by a series of wails, and the green fluorescent began to run in all directions, and soon disappeared.
Silence returned to all around, and so did the horses. With a long hiss, it rushed into the darkness, its snow-white hair glistening in the moonlight. And beside it, there was a faint figure.
With a "poof", a flame flickered in the darkness, and Ye Xiaoxiao held an oil torch in his hand and walked forward tentatively.
"Brother Yu, are you okay. She asked timidly.
"Of course it's fine. Hehe" Yu Zhong smiled and led Zhao Yebai, and walked out of the darkness covered in blood.
"Are you injured?" Ye Xiaoxiao saw that he was covered in blood, and hurriedly asked.
"No, it's it. Yu Zhong raised his hand, and he was carrying a dead wolf in his hand, which was the wolf king. Behind him lay the corpses of several wolves, apparently also to protect the wolf king, and were killed by Yu Zhong.
"I hate it, it scares me to death. Ye Xiaoxiao hurriedly wiped away the tears that came out of her eyes.
"I knew you could do it, hahaha!" Bai Li Yu rushed up and hugged Yu Zhong and said.
The dart masters present suddenly burst into cheers.
Pu Huan prayed to God and told the Buddha on the side: "God bless, don't let me encounter this kind of thing again, if I can return to Jingjiang Mansion safely, I will definitely accumulate more good karma." ”
Strange to say, soon after the wolves retreated, the rain stopped, and the night was spent in danger.
