Twenty-Nine: The Legend of the Wolf King

"It was said that the winter was so cold that it snowed three feet thick. Even though the valley was warm, there was still a thick layer of snow on the grassland."

"The snow covered the grass and the herbivores froze to death without food. The raging blizzard, coupled with the scarcity of prey, has put the wolves in danger like never before."

"On this day, the wolf clan went out to hunt, and they were about to catch up with their prey, but they didn't want to have a slope in front of them. The prey rushes over the slope and sinks into the snow. The wolf clan saw the prey disappear from their eyes, and walked up to take a look, but saw that the prey was struggling not far away."

"At that time, there was a young and vigorous male wolf who wanted to go down and take out the prey, but the wolf king stopped him. But seeing that the snow is going to fall endlessly, the wolf clan has not eaten for many days, if this hunt is not successful, I am afraid that the next hunt, some people will be hungry and unable to run. ”

So even though he knew that it was dangerous to go down, the wolf king thought about it again and again, and still felt that it was worth a try. So he sent his right-hand men down to bring the prey back. ”

"The Wolf King sent a subordinate called the Grey Robe. This wolf has followed the wolf king for a long time and is the wolf king's right-hand man."

The grey-robed cautiously walked down the slope to the edge of the prey. The prey was already nervous when it was stuck in the snow, and it was even more anxious when he saw the gray robe approaching step by step."

"When the gray robe reaches the side of the prey, he is about to open his mouth to the throat of the prey. The prey struggled and broke free from the snow. The gray robe was caught off guard and hurriedly chased after him. A wolf and a sheep are going farther and farther."

"Seeing the gray robe chasing the sheep, the wolf king knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly and anxiously called the gray robe to let him come back."

"But how could the gray robe let the prey that had already been in hand run away, and chased after him without heeding the warning of the wolf king."

"The wolf king saw the gray robe running away, sinking into the snow little by little, and finally couldn't move."

"In this hunt, the wolf clan lost a general, but they didn't hunt anything, and the authority of the wolf king was challenged like never before."

"After I went back that day, some people immediately stood up to challenge, thinking that the wolf king was no longer qualified to continue to be a man."

"The gray robe is dead, and the saddest thing is the wolf king, who has been with the gray robe for many years and has experienced many ups and downs. The relationship is not an ordinary friendship can be compared, this time the gray robe died, the wolf king has already given birth to the heart of retreat, but now is the most difficult time for the wolf clan, the wolf king wants to help the wolf clan through this difficulty and leave."

"But the clansmen don't seem to think so, they think that the wolf king is now old and can no longer lead the wolf clan, so the wolf king must abdicate today."

Seeing this scene, the wolf king knew that it was useless to talk too much, so he could only fight. The wolf king is indeed old, but after a short period of effort, he has been bitten and covered in wounds, and blood has flowed all over the ground."

"The young male wolf had the intention of biting the wolf king to death, but several elders in the clan tried their best to dissuade him, and the wolf king was able to stay alive."

The wolf king has since left the group. ”

Speaking of this, the Serpent King stopped.

Seeing that the Snake King didn't say anything, Shangyuan blinked and asked, "Senior Snake King, the old wolf king left the clan, and then what happened?"

The Snake King looked at Shangyuan and smiled slightly and continued: "The Wolf King left, but he didn't go far, he hid from a distance and watched."

"In fact, this seizure of the throne is far from over, now it is just to drive the old wolf king away, and the new wolf king still needs the young male wolf to continue to fight and finally decide."

"The wolf clan has not eaten for many days, and now there is another bloody battle, and many young male wolves are exhausted and finally die."

"By the time the new wolf king was born, the young male wolf of the wolf clan was almost dead. Seeing that a bloody battle had just been fought, the wolf clan was no longer able to hunt. In the end, he actually ate the corpse of the wolf clan youth who died in battle. ”

The wolf king was disheartened when he saw this scene from a distance, and left gloomily. ”

"But soon news came that the other people were coming to invade. Because of the constant snowfall, there are fewer and fewer prey on the grassland. When the other tribe heard the news of the old wolf king's departure, they attacked in a big way. Although the wolf king has made up his mind, he will never interfere in the affairs of the clan again. But when other people invade, the wolf king cannot stand by and watch."

"The wolf clan is invincible to foreign races, and they are losing and retreating, and they are about to be wiped out."

At this moment, the wolf king suddenly appeared, he was dressed in wind and snow, like a god's mansion, the wolf clan saw the old wolf king coming, and their morale was greatly boosted. In the end, under the leadership of the old wolf king, the wolf clan repelled foreign enemies and held the territory."

"After the victory, everyone is looking for the old wolf king, and they want the old wolf king to continue to lead everyone. But the old wolf king did not stay, and quietly left."

"Since then, no one has seen the old wolf king again. Only legends about the wolf king were left on the grassland."

After the snake king finished speaking, everyone was still immersed in the story of the wolf king. The bonfire made a "pop" sound, pulling everyone's thoughts back.

Everyone seemed to follow the old wolf king back to that winter. I saw the lonely figure in the snow.

"And then, what happened to the Wolf King?" Shangyuan asked.

"And ......" the Snake King narrowed his eyes and paused. continued: "Then, as if the old wolf king disappeared from the grassland, he never appeared again."

"Even the wolf clan itself is not sure if the old wolf king really appeared that night."

After the Serpent King finished speaking, he looked at the crowd. I saw Shangyuan's infatuated face, and he yearned for it infinitely. I couldn't help but quip: "Shangyuan, what are you thinking?"

Shangyuan hurriedly came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

The snake king didn't ask, and said to everyone: "It's not early, we have to hurry tomorrow, let's rest early."

Everyone answered "yes" and went to sleep.

Shangyuan found a big tree and lay under it, just like at home. But the prairie is not like home, and the trees are far less tall. However, Shangyuan didn't care, the trees in the grassland had their own flavor, and through the branches of the big trees, Shangyuan could see the twinkling stars in the sky.

After a day of running, everyone is tired. Shortly after lying down, someone was already snoring slightly.

Shangyuan lay under the tree, tossing and turning and unable to sleep. The story told by the predecessors of the Snake King today is unheard of in Shangyuan. At this moment, his heart has been thinking about the old wolf king. What happened to the old wolf king in the end? Will he starve to death if he loses his clan? Will he be bullied when he encounters other clans?

The image of the Serpent King came alive before his eyes. He seemed to see the back of the lonely man in the vast wind and snow.

So lonely, so majestic.

It was late at night, and the earthworm next to it was already asleep. Shangyuan was sleepy, and his lying body was a little numb. He stood up, trying to move his muscles, but he was afraid of waking everyone up, so he walked away.

The night of the grassland is very beautiful, the moonlight spills down from the sky, illuminating everything in the grassland very brightly, a little firefly flying on the tip of the grass, and the rustling of insects comes from afar. The body takes a breath, and the heart and lungs are indescribably smooth.

Since he was born, Shangyuan has never been to the grassland, and of course he has never seen the night view of the grassland. He was fascinated by the beautiful scenery and couldn't help but be fascinated by it. As if bewildered by the night, his footsteps involuntarily walked into the distance.

At this time, everyone was asleep, and no one noticed that Shangyuan was gradually moving away. All the way to the depths of the steppe.
