Chapter 451: Stalemate
When a group of porters saw that the girls who had been relaxed became nervous, they immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
Despair and pessimism spread among the crowd again.
This time, it was not only the porters who were pessimistic and desperate, but also a group of heroic and confident women with anxious looks on their faces, all of whom held their longbows in their hands, one by one, as if they were facing a great enemy.
All night long, the wolves harassed the humans, and the humans could not sleep at all.
In the second half of the night, in order not to let humans have time to rest, the wolves actually rarely approached humans less than thirty meters away.
Thirty meters, this distance is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous distance, and humans must be nervous and vigilant, because, in this short distance, wolves can rush into the human defense circle with just one sprint and jump.
At first, the girls' superb archery skills still shot a few wolves, but the consumption of arrow feathers was very large, because the wolves took a circular and gradual approaching method, rather than approaching in the opposite direction, which made the girls' shooting efficiency greatly reduced, and an average of three sharp arrows could shoot a vicious wolf, and sometimes, only to shoot and injure the wolf.
The consequences of shooting a wolf are actually very serious.
After being shot, the wolf will generally be bitten and devoured by the same kind, so every time a wolf is shot, the trapped beast is still fighting, and immediately sprints towards the human defense circle without fear of death, hoping to contribute to the team at the last moment of life.
This sprint consumes more arrows.
When they got to the back, the girls had very few arrows left, and even if the wolves were close at hand, they didn't dare to shoot arrows easily.
At dawn, humanity began to tidy up.
Even if you are sleepy, you have to keep moving forward, and there is only one way to die when you are entangled with wolves here.
If you keep moving forward, there may be a chance of survival, for example, if you encounter a powerful camel caravan, wear down the willpower of the wolves, approach a human settlement, or find a better place to defend in the next place to set up camp......
......
The scorching desert makes people lose the interest in chatting.
The caravan trekked through the endless desert.
Because there was no rest for a night, whether it was the porter or a dozen beautiful women, they were physically and mentally exhausted, and what was even worse was that the huge wolves were always around the camel caravan from time to time, and they were haunted.
In order to prevent the camels from being scattered by the wolves, the porters had to mentally control the camels, which made it even more tormenting.
The wolves are appearing more and more frequently, and the porters are no longer able to collect firewood, because as soon as they get out of the range of the caravan, they are at risk of being attacked by the wolves.
Sunset.
The sunset on the horizon illuminates the entire sky like blood, which makes people palpitate.
Normally, sunset is the best time to travel, and the weather is cool, but today, the weary human beings have not waited for darkness to settle down, and have found a steep rock face to set up camp.
Stop early because the steep rock face is perfect for defense, and humans only need to face wolves in one direction.
Not far from the rock face, there were clumps of dead bushes, and under the guard of a group of girls, the porters had found some dry wood. Now, dry firewood is life, because dry firewood can not only allow humans to eat hot food to replenish their strength, but also effectively defend against wolves and buy some rest time for humans.
As night fell, the wolves became more and more active, and the howls of wolves were terrifying.
Everyone discussed, it is not a way to go on like this, even if the wolves do not attack, human beings will be slowly dragged down and exhausted.
After deliberating and deciding, the more than 20 people were divided into five groups, each group of five people defended, and took turns to rest.
After deciding, each group was equipped with three women who were good at riding and archery, and two porters who were armed with scimitars.
Zhao Yuan volunteered to be on duty in the first group.
The others, after eating dinner, seized the time to rest, leaned against the rock wall and went to bed early, Zhao Yuan and a porter, and three beautiful female shooters looked at the darkness outside the bonfire, in the darkness, the longing black shadow swayed, and there were hungry wolves running left and right, kicking up the dust in the sky.
The wolves seem to be deliberately harassing humans.
Zhao Yuanzhan was on the edge of the defensive circle, holding a sharp scimitar, staring at the wolves in the dark, his body exuding a murderous intent, he hoped that the wolves could feel his strength, so that they could retreat.
Zhao Yuan's combat value didn't even dare to compete with the blood barbarian bull, and it was easy to scare away a few wolves, but unfortunately, in order to hide his identity, Zhao Yuan couldn't unscrupulously release the killing machine.
It's a pity that the wolves didn't flee because of the killing machine released by Zhao Yuan, but became more and more active, and actually began to tentatively approach the defensive circle, and the light of the bonfire could already see the hungry wolf's hideous teeth......
......
"Zhao Gongzi, don't be nervous, you are using a scimitar, just stand behind us. A beautiful woman with a bumpy figure walked to Zhao Yuan's side with a longbow and said softly with relief.
"Xie Lu Xie, no need, you don't have many arrow feathers, save some use, I don't have anything to do, the three or five wolves are not my opponent Zhao. ”
"Three or five wolves are no match for you?" the woman said in surprise.
"Yes, I was born with divine powers since I was a child. Zhao Yuan showed an embarrassed expression, with a shy and honest expression.
"How much strength do you have?" asked another woman curiously.
"Hehe, Xiao Zhao's strength is great, we can see it, the hundreds of pounds of porcelain in his hands, light and fluttering, as if there is no weight. A porter laughed.
"That's amazing!"
"It's just a little stronger......" Zhao Yuan pretended to be shy.
"Zhao Gongzi, against the desert hungry wolves, the strength is useless, they are very fast, you better be careful. A woman kindly reminded.
"It's okay, I have long knives, as long as they dare to come close to me, I will kill them with one slash!" Zhao Yuan waved the long knife in his hand twice in the air, pretending to look vicious and vicious, causing several women to cover their mouths and snicker.
"The strength and momentum are good, but unfortunately there is no discipline. The woman at the head sighed,
"It's okay, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the beast. Zhao Yuan grinned.
"There's a wolf approaching!" the other porter shouted in a low voice.
Zhao Yuan looked at the past, and saw that at the junction of fire and darkness, there were three thin and fluffy wolves approaching little by little with their tails between their legs, and they were extremely cautious in their steps.
The movements of these three wolves are a bit unusual, and when other wolves harass humans, they will keep moving their bodies, and will never take the initiative to approach little by little, because this kind of slow movement will only become the target of humans.
"They are wolves with no status, and wolves use them to consume our arrow feathers. The woman at the head showed a hint of solemnity on her face.
The people looked at each other,
To shoot, or not to shoot?
If the three wolves were allowed to get closer, the defensive circle would be meaningless, and the rest of the resting people would have to be woken up to prepare for battle.
The three wolves cautiously approached the campfire, and the orange flames illuminated them so that the three pairs of hideous eyes and saliva fangs could be seen.
"Let me come!" Zhao Yuan said with a confident face.
"Are you sure?" said the woman at the head showed a look of hesitation on her face.
"It's fine. ”
Zhao Yuan carried the bright scimitar, took a few steps forward, and formed a confrontation with the three wolves that were gradually approaching.
The three hungry wolves obviously didn't expect that there would be humans standing up and facing them face to face, the three pairs of fierce eyes looked at the bright scimitar in Zhao Yuan's hand, obviously, they felt Zhao Yuan's strength, and actually showed hesitation, not daring to approach.
Whoop......
Suddenly, a low wolf howl was heard in the distance, and the sound swept along the desert, filled with infinite oppressive force.
Hearing the low roar, the three wolves showed a trace of panic in their eyes, and suddenly pounced on Zhao Yuan.
"Ahh
The three women exclaimed in unison, they didn't expect the three wolves to attack suddenly, and they couldn't shoot with their bows when they were caught off guard, and they watched the three wolves pounce towards Zhao Yuan......
