Chapter 22: Rescue
With her eyes closed, the woman waits for death. But she waited for a long time, only a few drops of liquid flew to her face. The liquid was tinged with warmth and was leaving on her forehead.
When she opens her eyes, the liquid that cuts through the corners of her eyes fills the woman's gaze with red.
But the woman didn't have time to care about that, because she saw a figure standing in front of her. The arm of the black figure was being bitten by a wolf. But the figure didn't seem to feel pain, and was looking back at her. There was a hint of guilt in his eyes. "I'm sorry. A voice came from the mouth of the black figure.
Why should he be sorry, the ink knife didn't know, but for a moment he felt that he should say this.
Enduring the pain, the ink knife swung its arm and slammed the wolf's body into the trunk of the tree beside him. With a bang, the wolf let out a terrible howl and finally let go. Lying on the ground and wailing, blood flowing from his mouth. The unnatural bending of the body lets people know that its spine has been broken. It's only a matter of time before you die.
The death of one wolf is insignificant to the entire pack. But the ink knife arm had a few more wounds because of the wolf, and the wound was so deep that it was almost bone, and it was hanging weakly on the side of the ink knife at the moment.
The threat of wolves is unabated, but the combat power of the ink knife has plummeted.
Approaching, the wolves began to slowly approach the ink knife. I never thought that since the destruction of immortals, one day I would be sent into reincarnation by a group of wolves. Is it really going to be reincarnated? No, not yet, at least not now. Driving away the negative thoughts, the ink knife stared fiercely at the wolves in front of him.
"You...... Take Niu Niu and go. The woman said. Her voice was shaking, her body was shaking, she was afraid, afraid of facing the wolf, afraid of the bloody mouths, afraid of the bloody fangs like the tip of a knife. But even though the woman was scared to the extreme, she was still willing, willing to stay, and not be a burden to the ink knife.
"No, I don't. The ink knife said to protect the woman and Niu Niu more strictly.
"Whew!!!" In the distance, a roar came from the Wolf King, as if giving the order for a final attack. With that roar, the wolves swarmed up.
One-handed, the ink knife is only available with one hand at the moment. In order to better protect women, Modao even gave up the way he was lazy to survive. The legs are like tree roots, and the rock is firmly rooted in the ground.
One, two, three. Wolves are falling, and wolves are following. And there were more and more wounds on the ink knife's body, so much so that his original black clothes were stained red.
"Stop, stop, leave me alone, you hurry up and run away!" The woman finally understood why Modao refused to leave, but the woman didn't want to see Modao sacrifice for her in vain. After all, women are kind after all.
"No!" Modao's voice was firm. Guarding in front of the woman and Niuniu, not taking half a step back.
Time passed, and finally, the ground was covered with wolf corpses. But the ink knife has also reached its limit, and can only barely stand on the back of the tree trunk. At this time, Modao only felt weak, his vision was blurred, and he would faint the next moment. It's just that he can't, because the wolf king is still there.
"Whew!" roared the wolf king, his voice full of anger. The Inkblade of Wrath slaughtered all its people. At this point, there were no wolves available, so it could only take action in person.
Running wildly, the wolf king rushed towards the ink knife. When he approached the ink knife, he jumped up high, opened the bloody mouth and bit the neck of the ink knife.
"Blood returns to heaven. Ink Knife whispered. The ink knife, who had no power to fight back, wanted to use blood to return to the sky to solve the last wolf king, although there was a trace of reluctance in his heart, but at this time he had no other way. "I don't know if we'll see you again. Mo Dao said in his heart.
The next moment, the originally black sky suddenly turned blood red. It was as red as the clouds and the night were stained with blood. A strange aura filled the entire forest in an instant, like Shura descending, like purgatory rebirth. The smell of blood was everywhere, and the smell was so thick that it looked like the burial place of thousands of troops.
In a trance, I saw a huge red arm appear in the sky, slowly poking out of the clouds.
Modao never thought that he would one day use blood to return to the sky, and he never thought that it was just for a wolf, a wild wolf who was usually only worthy of his own food.
At this moment, just as the wolf's bloody mouth was about to bite the ink knife, just as the big red hand was about to fall, suddenly a voice came from a distance. "Be careful. With a thud, a feathered arrow flew from a distance, striking the wolf king's throat.
With a scream, the wolf king fell to the ground, pulled out a few blows, and turned into a corpse.
The wolf king died, and the ink knife stopped bleeding and returned to the sky. As for who came to the rescue, Modao has no way of knowing. It was dark in front of him, and the ink knife finally fainted.
"Are you all right? "A handsome boy came on horseback, with a longbow on his back, and it was evident that the arrow had been shot by him.
The handsome boy was just over twenty years old, dressed in a silk green coat, a jade belt around his waist, long boots under his feet, and a green crown on his head, looking like a rich child.
"Please, save him. Putting Niu Niu down, the woman suddenly knelt on the ground, crying and pleading.
"Girl, please get up. The handsome boy turned over and dismounted, and helped the woman up.
"Uncle, uncle, what's wrong with you, wake up. Seeing the ink knife covered in blood, Niuniu's tears flowed out at once.
"This is ......" The handsome boy couldn't help frowning when he saw the wolf corpses all over the ground, one person could fight so many wolves with his bare hands, and kill them all, which made him a little jealous.
"Please, save him. The woman said and knelt down again.
"Girl, don't worry, I, Zhuo, am not a person who can't be saved when I see death. The handsome boy said, and once again reached out to support the woman.
"The girl waited a moment, and the slave came soon. When the girl and others go home with me, I will definitely ask the best doctor to treat their wounds. The handsome boy said earnestly.
"Thank you, childe. Hearing that the man promised to save the ink knife, a heart finally fell. The woman did not kneel again, but made a salute, a salute that only a lady from a large family would do.
Seeing the woman's salute, the handsome boy was slightly stunned. At the beginning of Qichu, he saw that the woman's clothes were tattered and her body was emaciated, and he thought that she was just a poor person who had fled from nowhere.
"I didn't expect the girl to come from a big family, so she dared to ask the girl's name? ”
Hearing the word "big family", a trace of sadness flashed in the woman's eyes. "I'm not from a big family. Childe misunderstood. ”
"It's abrupt. When the handsome boy saw the sadness in the woman's eyes, he understood something, so he didn't ask more.
"Childe!" At this moment, several people in the distance came in a carriage. "Childe, I found you. How did you get here? How dangerous. One of the butler-like men said.
"You have come just in time, and you are quick, and you will carry him to the carriage and take care of me. If something goes wrong, I'll cut off your hands. ”
