Chapter 14 Chase(1/2)
The moment before, when the cloaked man looked over, Cheng Ke suddenly felt as if the fur on his entire body was about to unfurl, as if the danger he had been intuitively aware of since entering the forest was suddenly fulfilled.
A similar strong feeling came over his heart, and Cheng Ke was immediately certain that the target of the man in the cloak with the face of a wolf was himself. However, this man in the wolf cloak seemed to have an irreconcilable hatred for the wolf monsters, otherwise
, nor would he be the first to shoot the newly transformed wolf monster without saying a word.
In the vast forest, the howls of wolves come and go, sometimes far away and sometimes near.
Feeling that there seemed to be a tremor and commotion under his feet, the black cat Cheng Ke stopped and squatted on a branch and raised his ears alertly.
Suddenly, a huge wolf monster ran past under the tree, its shiny black fur blinking in the blink of an eye. The howls of a pack of wolves could be heard in the direction of the run, extremely high-pitched and loud.
Cheng Ke's heart skipped a beat, and a thought came to his mind. His running figure suddenly stopped. Suddenly, he turned a corner and was followed by a wolf monster.
The dangerous intuition appeared and disappeared, and Cheng Ke immediately knew that the man in the wolf cloak was still behind.
The wolf monster ran extremely fast and disappeared in two seconds.
Seeing this, Cheng Ke quickly jumped down from a high branch. Now, his body's strength and coordination are almost comparable to those of a wolf monster. Jumping from a height of six to seven meters, for him,
It would not cause any harm at all. At this time, he was not afraid that his traces would be exposed. Intuitively, the cloaked man seemed to have followed him all the way from the coast. Since he could follow him all the way here, then on the tree
Hiding your whereabouts is simply a waste of effort.
After climbing over several dense forests and mountains along the way, relying on his night vision, he could barely keep up with the wolf monster, and after narrowly missing several packs of wild wolves, Cheng Ke finally arrived at his destination.
The front is where the wolves and monsters gather.
The wild wolves that had been following Cheng Ke seemed to have stopped in their tracks with uneasy expressions, letting Cheng Ke leave their sight.
His nose was sniffing the unpleasant smell of the wolf monsters in the air. Not far ahead, the body odor of the beasts carried by the night wind was extremely strong. Cheng Ke guessed that there must be a considerable number of wolf monsters ahead.
——The more wolves and monsters there are, the better.
As long as Cheng Ke is careful and is not noticed by the wolf monsters, he can smoothly pass through this gathering place of wolf monsters like a mouse; as for the cloaked wolf-faced man following Cheng Ke based on his scent, his size is
They are so conspicuous, and they seem to have hatred towards the wolf monsters. Then this group of wolf monsters can completely prevent the cloaked wolf-faced man from tracking for one to two days, and may even kill him.
In the gaps between the wild grass, there was a red flickering firelight.
The black cat Cheng Ke jumped onto a big tree again and slowly climbed closer along the branches extending from the height.
This is a very vast flat land. Six 3-foot-high boulders are arranged in two rows in an orderly manner. On a 4-foot-high boulder, in front of the central boulder, there are two fires with billowing smoke.
, two fat wild boars with crispy skin and crispy meat were roasting above the fire.
A wolf monster, one foot three feet tall and extremely muscular, stood on the boulder, raising his hands in the air and roaring wildly.
More than twenty wolf monsters lined up neatly together, huddled in the center of six boulders, sometimes looking up at the wolf monsters on the boulders, sometimes whispering.
The black cat Cheng Ke looked back at the way he came. A figure with a cloak and a wolf face seemed to appear in the dark and obscure depths of the jungle at any time, and a soaring eagle seemed to appear on the full moon at any time.
Cheng Ke's intuition seemed to be telling him that the faster he could move, the better. He finally mustered up the courage, lay down on all fours and kept his body as close to the ground as possible, and slowly crawled out of the dense forest.
Feeling the direction of the night breeze, the black cat Cheng Ke chose the route on the right. He silently prayed that the wolf monsters' sense of smell would not be too good.
The whining night wind blew slowly, bringing with it the strong body odor of the wild wolves.
The black cat Cheng Ke lurks behind the grass or rocks, moving little by little. As long as the wolf monsters become quiet, the black cat Cheng Ke will stop, waiting for the wolf monsters to make another commotion and fight.
noisy.
Time passed little by little, and Cheng Ke had successfully passed through most of the wolf monster gathering points.
The whispers of the wolves and monsters were carried bit by bit with the night wind.
"...Lack of food...nervous...expanding territory...Viscount Dortmund...castle...master...powerful..."
..."
"...we will never surrender...stinky bats...my life...never..."
".....Mondo Swamp...scary...monsters...stinky bats...dignity...
Lower your head..."
The words of the wolf monsters are not much different from those of the wild wolves, except for the changes in the accent and voice, and some rhetorical or language decoration techniques. The content is probably about the theme of "food and surrender", involving
To "Territory", "Viscount Dortmund", "Bat", "Mondo Swamp", "Monster" and so on.
When he heard "bat" and "viscount", the first word that came to mind was the "vampire" in Western legends.
Legends and stories of the enmity between wolves and vampires have persisted throughout Western stories.
The quarrels among the wolf monsters seemed to be so intense that the two groups even disagreed and almost started fighting. None of the wolf monsters would pay any attention to the surrounding smells and slight noises.
The wolf monster on the boulder seems to be the leader of this party.
After howling twice, the wolf monsters became quiet again.
Suddenly, a high-pitched eagle cry came from the sky.
Cheng Ke's heart stirred, and with a powerful jump, he ran straight into the dark jungle regardless of whether he would be noticed by the wolves and monsters.
The many wolf monsters below the stone platform only heard a rustling sound coming from the stones and grass, and saw a black shadow flash out of the corner of their eyes, disappearing into the dark trees.
Before the many wolf monsters could react, the sharp sound of arrows piercing the air suddenly came from behind them.
The wolf monsters at the edge of the party fell to the ground one after another, with arrows in the back of their heads and piercing their heads. Before they could even cry out in pain, seven or eight of them fell down in an instant.
All of a sudden, dozens of strong shadows were paddling rapidly with their powerful limbs.
The wolf monsters divided into several groups and dispersed. A few brave wolf monsters turned around and pounced in the direction where the sharp arrows were shot, while several wolves pounced straight into the dark jungle on both sides, while more wolf monsters were
As the wolf monster leader hid behind the hard and tall rock, all this happened in less than ten seconds.
Following a low cry from the wolf monster leader, seven or eight more wolf monsters rushed straight into the dark jungle on both sides of the clearing like lightning, as if they wanted to use the cover of the trees to counterattack from both sides.
Two screams of two wolf monsters came from the front, the trees shook, and a tall human smelling of blood walked out of the darkness. The hood blocked the bright moonlight, and the face, bow and arrow could not be seen clearly.
The tube was already slung behind his back, holding two wolf monster heads with frightened faces in one hand, and a bright and sharp hunting knife in the other hand.
The howl of wolves came loudly from both sides, and only the rustling between the trees was heard. Eight wolf monsters rushed out from both sides, circling around the cloaked man, with gaping teeth and yellow-green eyes.
A biting and murderous light appeared from time to time.
At this moment, the black cat Cheng Ke had climbed up a towering tree, carefully lying on the branch, staring at the gathering place of the wolves and monsters.
Although he was surrounded by eight wolf monsters waiting for an opportunity to attack, the cloaked man did not show the slightest trace of panic.
With his left hand, he threw the two wolf monster heads high into the sky. With his right hand, he moved his wrist a little, and the hunting knife turned in his hand. The blade of the hunting knife that was originally in the front was turned to the back, and he suddenly held the knife.
handle.
At the moment when the hunting knife was turning, the eight wolf monsters finally couldn't hold it any longer. The two strong wolf monsters on the left moved their hind limbs, and the two huge bodies pounced on them first.
The cloaked man turned left, kicked off his right leg, and like a black lightning, he immediately appeared in front of the two wolf monsters that were still kicking in the air, teeth and claws bared.
A flash of snowy white suddenly flashed in the darkness. The cloaked man nimbly passed through the gap between the two wolf monsters jumping in mid-air, and landed on the ground with his legs bent. Then, with another dexterous turn of his wrist, the blade of the hunting knife opened again.
Turning forward suddenly, he held the handle of the knife with his right hand, jumped sideways, and swiped the sharp blade casually. A wailing scream immediately came to mind, obviously hurting the wolf monster that came up to attack from behind on the left side.
A large amount of steaming liquid instantly sprinkled on the ground like a downpour.
The cloaked man who fell to the ground again did not stop, and with a dexterous movement of his wrist, he held the blade in front again, and the blade was also facing forward.
In front of them were the remaining five wolf monsters. They opened their long mouths and waved their thick limbs, almost forming an encirclement and swooping towards the cloaked man inside.
The cloaked man kicked his feet hard on the ground and suddenly jumped two feet into the air.
The wolf monster that rushed towards him watched helplessly as the black shadow flashed past from below and jumped to the sky above its head. Immediately afterwards, it felt a big hand pressing down on its head. Ouch - it was frightened.
The sky roared furiously.
Like an ape, the cloaked man jumped high into the air, and actually turned over and rode on the broad back of the wolf monster directly in front. He pressed the head of the wolf monster with his left hand, and suddenly waved his right hand holding the hunting knife, and a snow-white flash came from it.
The wolf monster's throat flashed past.
Two or three seconds ago, the place where the cloaked man was half-kneeling was empty. Four wolf monsters on the left and right sides passed by each other and fell to the ground.
The cloaked man who succeeded in the move did not stop the attack. He jumped with his legs on the wolf monster's back and jumped to the right. Before the two wolf monsters could react, he stepped on the first one with his two feet.
On the back of the wolf monster, the right hand holding the handle of the knife suddenly waved, and a sharp light flashed across the neck of the first wolf monster. The second wolf monster had already reacted, turned around, and rushed towards the cloaked man.
Two thick sharp claws swung at the cloaked man from left to right.
The cloaked man's legs connected with the wolf monster's body and he jumped, then he just turned over the wolf monster's head. He stepped on the wolf monster's back with two feet like a gourd, and stabbed downwards with his raised right hand, and immediately raised the hunting knife.
It penetrated deeply into the head of the wolf monster. The wolf monster couldn't even scream and fell to the ground.
The two remaining wolf monsters on the left immediately turned around and pounced on the cloaked man. At this moment, the cloaked man just inserted the hunting knife deeply into the wolf monster's head. He didn't even look at it and just let go.
Open the handle of the knife and pounce at the two oncoming wolf monsters at a faster speed.
Suddenly two big furry hands came deep under the cloak. Their sharp nails were like wolves. They passed over the sharp claws of the two wolf monsters like lightning. The long arms were not even human length, and they directly grasped the two wolf monsters.
neck.
bump--
The huge force knocked the two wolf monsters to the ground. The cloaked man exerted some force with his fingers and pinched them, and there was a muffled sound of broken bones.
Not far away, the two wolf monsters that attacked first and remained motionless after landing on the ground slowly changed. Their claws and heads slowly tilted down, and they slowly fell from their huge bodies. Then the incomplete body
Then he suddenly fell to the ground.
