Volume 65 Encirclement
"Brother Ou, wake up!" Ming Xuan said lightly patting Ou Zhiyang.
"Hmm, what's the matter, this big night!" Ou Zhiyang said in a daze, he was relieved, in this environment, he still slept very peacefully.
"Get up, I feel something's wrong!" Ou Ming said with a frown.
"What's wrong, what's wrong!" Ou Zhiyang suddenly woke up and asked cautiously.
"Brother Xuan, do you feel it too?" Zi Luo said coldly.
"Ziluo, are you awake too?" asked Ming Xuan in surprise.
"Well, I can't sleep, I always feel uneasy. Zi Luo nodded and said anxiously.
"You go and wake up Yi Ling, I don't think it's appropriate to stay here for a long time!" Ming Xuan trusted his instincts.
After a while, the four of them were ready.
"Let's go, get out of here quickly!" Ming Xuan waved his hand and led everyone forward quickly.
The mountains and forests of Zishi were pitch black everywhere, but Ming Xuan didn't dare to light the light, but sneaked quietly, trying to leave quietly.
"No!" Before he could take a few steps, Mingxuan stopped again, and the familiar sense of crisis permeated his heart!
"What's wrong?" Ou Zhiyang hurriedly asked, he trusted Ming Xuan's instincts very much.
"There's danger approaching nearby!" Ming Xuan said solemnly, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
"So what should we do?" said Yiling anxiously.
"Ziluo, are you digging holes fast?" Ming Xuan asked Ziluo instead.
"Well, what I like and do best is digging holes!"
"Okay, you hurry up and dig a hole, let's hide for a while!" Ming Xuan said cautiously.
Seeing that Ming Xuan was so cautious, he didn't have much to say at the moment, Zi Luo chose a good location nearby, and began to quickly dig up the hole, Ming Xuan and Ou Zhiyang stayed around to be vigilant, and Yi Ling was responsible for disposing of the excavated soil, so as not to leak his whereabouts, and after a while, a deep hole more than ten meters deep was dug.
"Hurry up and get into the hole, I'll take care of the tail!" Ming Xuan urged everyone to hide in the hole.
After the three of them hid in the cave, Ming Xuan carefully restored the surrounding area into its original state, jumped into the hole, and then covered the hole with thorns, and then confidently drilled into the depths of the cave, Ziluo dug the bottom of the cave very large, enough for the four of them.
"Ziluo, how do you feel?" Compared to her own vigilance, Mingxuan now trusts Ziluo's intuition more, after all, the danger is brought by the demon, and she feels it more delicately and strongly.
"I feel better, it's better to hide in the cave and be comfortable!" Zi Luo smiled slightly, not as dignified as before.
"That's good, you stay here to rest, I'll go to the entrance of the cave to find out the situation!" Seeing Zi Luo say this, Ming Xuan was much more relieved.
Since they had prepared to cover up the smell in advance, Ming Xuan was not worried that the demon clan would find them along the human smell, but what they were facing now was the demon clan after all, not beasts, they not only relied on their senses, but also on the mysterious and unpredictable demon power.
The night was quiet everywhere, there was no even the sound of insects and birds, it was a little unnatural, and there was some strange atmosphere around it, what kind of feeling it was, Ming Xuan couldn't say, but he always felt depressed and uneasy.
After about half an hour, the surroundings are still so quiet, without the slightest change.
"Am I feeling wrong?" Ming Xuan had some self-doubt, but he didn't dare to relax at all.
After another quarter of an hour, in this quiet atmosphere, there was a sudden sound of rustling, almost inaudible, but it could not escape Ming Xuan's ears.
"It's finally here!" Ming Xuan looked cautious, paying attention to the movements around him intently.
After a while, the sound of rustling became clearer and clearer, and it sounded on all sides, as if they had surrounded them!
The voice was getting closer and closer, and it felt like it was already ringing in his ears, Ming Xuan cautiously looked out through the gap in the thorns, since the entrance to the cave was set in the thorn bush, so Ming Xuan was not worried that they would search for the entrance to the cave.
Due to his limited vision, Ming Xuan couldn't see much of it, but after waiting for a while, a strong thigh suddenly appeared in front of Ming Xuan's eyes!
According to Ming Xuan's years of experience in the jungle, he quickly judged that this was a wolf leg, but compared to ordinary wolves, this leg was undoubtedly much larger and stronger, the muscle lines were very clear, and the claws of the beast were sharp and hard, which were better than the claws of the fish demon.
"Wolf demon?" This must not be an ordinary wolf, then it will only be a wolf demon.
The wolf stopped for a moment, then continued on his way, apparently searching for something.
Ming Xuan's face became solemn, this wolf obviously didn't come here unintentionally, it was very likely that it was for them, and what's worse is that wolves rarely act alone, even if they become wolf demons, their nature will not change lightly, a wolf demon will be difficult to deal with, if it is a group of wolf demons, the consequences can be imagined!
Just when Ming Xuan was thinking about it, the wolf demon seemed to have completed the search, and the voices from all sides gradually concentrated in one place, not far from the location of the cave entrance, and it sounded like only ten meters, but due to the limited field of vision, Ming Xuan could not see the surrounding situation.
Suddenly, a wolf roar sounded, and then wolf roars rang out everywhere in response, and they began to roar at each other, as if they were communicating something.
Although Ming Xuan was very close, he couldn't understand what they were saying at all, so in order to avoid revealing his whereabouts, Ming Xuan quietly retreated to the bottom of the cave.
"What's the situation? I seem to have heard a wolf roar just now!" Although the wolf roar was small, it was enough for everyone present to hear it, and Zi Luo's face turned even pale, because wolves are the natural enemies of rabbits.
"There's a bunch of wolf demons up there, and they seem to be searching for something, and if they didn't guess wrong, they should be looking for us. Ming Xuan said truthfully.
"Wolf demon! this is going to be troublesome!" Although he had thought so in his heart, after Ming Xuan's confirmation, Ou Zhiyang's face still became solemn.
"But they've searched and haven't found us. Seeing that everyone was so nervous, Ming Xuan hurriedly spoke of relief.
"How many wolf demons are there?" asked Eileen.
"I don't know, but judging by the sound, I'm afraid there are no less than four. The sound came from all sides, which proved that there was at least one wolf demon in each direction, because the footsteps were not real, and Ming Xuan couldn't tell how many there were.
"It seems that we are not opponents at all, what should we do next?" Faced with such a predicament, Ou Zhiyang calmed down.
"Let's hide for now, I hope I can dodge, and then I'll go up and check the situation. Seeing that everyone's affection was quite stable, Mingxuan quietly climbed up again.
Ming Xuan didn't delay for too long, the wolves were still roaring and communicating, and there seemed to be some arguments, but soon the arguments were over, and the wolves began to scatter away.
"The people surrounding me have disappeared out of thin air, it must have aroused their suspicions, and it seems that they will continue to search!" Ming Xuan thought with a frown.
Seeing that the wolves were so unrelenting, and he couldn't understand what they were saying, there was no need for Ming Xuan to continue to stay at the entrance of the cave, he carefully climbed down, and quietly sealed the hole with mud, leaving only a small outlet, in case the wolves found here, they would not find anything, and after doing this qiē, Ming Xuan was relieved and returned to the bottom of the cave.
"Don't worry, there shouldn't be any danger for the time being, but the wolves haven't left. Seeing everyone looking at him expectantly, Ming Xuan hurriedly said.
"Then what should I do?" said Yi Ling anxiously, she had never encountered such a predicament, and she looked a little flustered.
"You don't have to do anything, rest in peace, I'll keep watch, I'll notify you immediately if there's a situation!" Ming Xuan said with a smile, wanting to relax the atmosphere.
Among the four, Zi Luo is still an ignorant child, and Yi Ling has been growing up in a greenhouse and has not experienced much wind and rain, only he and Ou Zhiyang have more experience, but Ou Zhiyang rarely sets foot in the mountains and forests, and has almost dealt with demon beasts, and now the only reliable point is only Ming Xuan, yes, he has become their spiritual pillar.
"How can I sleep in such a situation!" Yi Ling said with a bitter face.
"The sky is the quilt, the earth is the bed, what can't you sleep, don't be so nervous, the one who should come will always come, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, there is nothing to be afraid of, such a predicament has been experienced a lot, and you will slowly adapt to it." Ou Zhiyang said indifferently, he is also a time-tested person, and he is very calm.
"Ziluo, in fact, your strength is very strong, but why have I never seen you show it?" Ming Xuan asked Xiang Ziluo instead, if she could provide assistance, she wouldn't be so tired.
"I also asked my dad before, and he said that although I have good strength, I am still a child after all, and I can't control it now, and I still need to keep honing it, and when the time comes, they will help me awaken it and let me completely control this power. Only when Zi Luo has completely mastered this strength will her parents rest assured that she will let her out.
"Oh, I see. "Ming Xuan understands, it seems that Zi Luo can't help much.
There are strong enemies outside, everyone's interest in talking is not very high, after chatting a few words casually, there is no more to say, and except for Ou Zhiyang, no one can sleep, the three of them just sat and survived the night, waiting until dawn.
"Are they gone?" Mingxuan had just come back from inquiring about the news, and everyone couldn't wait to ask.
"I don't see the slightest movement, I don't know if I've left. Mingxuan told the truth.
"The wolves hide at night and act, and they rarely come out during the day, so they should leave!" Although he has cultivated into a demon, it is still difficult to change his habits for many years.
"What if you go?" asked Yi Ling rhetorically.
"Then we can't wait here for the rest of our lives, right?" said Ou Zhiyang with a shrug.
Once agreed, everyone decided to go out to investigate the situation, and after carefully paying attention to the surrounding movements, the four of them climbed out of the deep hole one after another and returned to the ground.
"It's better to leave quickly, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time!" Ming Xuan always felt uneasy in his heart.
However, when the four of them were about to move forward, a "deafening" wolf howl suddenly sounded! Hurried footsteps were quickly heard from all sides.
"Be careful, everyone! We've been discovered!" Ming Xuan suddenly raised his voice, on guard.
After a while, four giant wolves quickly walked out from all sides of the forest, surrounded them, and looked at the four of them with cold eyes, glowing green as if they had seen prey.
