Chapter 390 Food
The snow stretches across the sky, and there is no way forward.
A team of nearly a thousand people bent forward in the snow. The horses neighed and the giant wolves roared. The scouts at the front became more and more confused. The leader's face was ugly. He knew that his group was lost and had to camp on the spot.
Wait for the snow to stop or find a village. Without shelter, you will freeze to death.
He grabbed the scout by the collar and roared angrily, spraying spit foam all over the scout's face.
"Where's the village! If we go any further we will freeze to death!"
"No...gone..."
"Stupid! You are lost! Go to the back and look after the animals! Get out!"
The scouts crawled and ran towards the back of the team. The angry leader stared at the white snow with an ugly face. He decided to find a leeward place to camp and wait for the snow to stop. The more he thought about it, the weirder he became. Before setting off, the old mage clearly said that it would not snow, but now it was snowing heavily.
It’s not a lie. Could it be that the old mage is getting old? Or maybe the god he believes in is not that powerful?
Thinking that he had doubted the great God, he shuddered violently and hurriedly put the disobedient thoughts behind him.
"Hurry up and hurry up! Find a leeward place to camp!"
A long team marched forward in the snow, their animal skin coats were stained with snowflakes, their beards and eyebrows were white, and the collars of their fur coats were filled with snow. Their faces and foreheads were red from the cold. It was impossible to ride horses in the snow. Groups of war horses, like people, kept their heads down and moved forward hard.
There are also eight wolf riders in the team. They are really tamed by huge wild wolves and used as mounts. They have better endurance than war horses and run faster. They can also assist their masters in fighting. Only true warriors deserve to have wolf riders. This team is because of the wolves.
The knights became powerful, and ordinary cavalry were no match for them.
For no reason, the eight wolf cavalry suddenly became covered in hair and roared...
The wolf knight roared and pulled, but nothing could make the wolf knight move forward even one step further. The giant werewolf stood upright, and the strong man pulled in the snow to prevent the giant wolf from losing control. The wolf howl echoed in the vast snowfield...
The leader felt intense uneasiness in his heart, and the fearless and vigilant Wolf Rider would not behave abnormally for no reason.
Turning his head to look ahead, he felt a faint fear of being stared at by a ferocious beast.
Suddenly, a mound appeared in the wind and snow in front of the team.
"Ouch~!"
The giant wolf was covered in wolf hair, bowed its waist, lowered its head, bared its teeth and roared with its throat. The abnormality of the eight wolves attracted the team's attention, and they immediately drew their long bows and set arrows!
The bow creaked and groaned, and the iron arrow pointed forward.
Snowflakes rustling...
The white snow gradually faded. From a distance, I saw a dead tree on the mound. The trunk was soaked in snow water and turned a little black. The branches were covered with snow. Under the tree, there was a woman in a long skirt, with her back to everyone and looking at the snow. Her long hair reached her waist.
Like a waterfall and ink, the red headband is decorated with black and white, and the oil-paper umbrella above the head is filled with blooming red plum blossoms.
Weird, weird everywhere!
The leader plucked up the courage to shout in the Central Plains dialect, as if the louder the voice, the less scared he became.
"Who are you!"
There was a loud roar and then silence. The girl under the dead tree remained motionless, as if she had not heard the sound. She quietly looked at the snow like ice sculptures. The atmosphere was tense and depressing...
Among them was a young man in a leather jacket and fur hat who couldn't keep his composure, and an arrow flew out accidentally!
Whoosh~!
The arrow trembled and left the bowstring, and flew towards the woman in an arc through the snowflakes. With everyone nervous and worried, the arrow pierced into the dead tree with a thud, and was only a few feet away from the long-haired woman in white.
The arrow tail was still trembling, maybe the sound startled the mysterious woman.
Bai Yujun slowly turned his head, frowning slightly as he looked at the arrow shaft that gradually stopped trembling. His profile fell into the eyes of the cavalryman holding the weapon. He was quiet for a moment, shocked by the girl's beauty, like a goddess on the legendary sacred snow mountain.
Jue put down his weapon for fear of disturbing the goddess.
The young man's face turned red and he was shy, while the older man had shortness of breath and evil thoughts.
"Ouch~!"
A wolf howl woke everyone up, and the wolf rider made a vigilant posture but did not dare to rush forward.
The leader's face turned pale, and fear spread. How could a young and beautiful girl appear for no reason in the ice and snow wilderness? Lenovo was even more frightened by the strangeness he encountered along the way, as if he was being pulled here by something...
"who are you!"
Hearing the roar, Bai Yujun turned to look at the bearded man with a red face and a thick neck, and finally his eyes fell on the eight giant wolves. The temptation of food was irresistible. In winter, he needed enough nutrition to maintain body functions, and the food in front of him was just right.
Danfeng's eyes glowed strangely red, and she opened her small cherry mouth to reveal four sharp teeth!
A roar.
The eight wolf riders suddenly clamped their tails and whined, unable to stop retreating. The leader who saw this scene knew that he had encountered some kind of terrifying monster. The behavior of the wolf riders said it all.
The wind and snow started again, and the vast flying snow obscured everything, making it difficult to see the mounds, the dead trees, and even the monster!
Something flew over my head, it was a familiar red hair rope...
Suddenly, there was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground in the invisible flying snow, as if some huge monster was moving around, and the thumping sounds shook everyone's hearts.
"Surround! Defend! Run away and die faster!"
Some people were frightened, and a young man got on his horse with panic and shortness of breath, whipping his whip to drive the horse. Being accustomed to life on horseback, he only felt safe when the horse was running.
"idiot!"
In the blink of an eye, the young man disappeared into the wind and snow. As expected, frightened screams and the neighing of war horses were heard in the snow, and calm soon returned...
The cavalry who formed a group placed their horses and slaves on the outside, holding bows and arrows, searching for the target with wide eyes.
For a long time, the oppressive atmosphere almost drove people crazy.
The leader patted the shoulder of the tribesman next to him and pointed in a certain direction. Without saying a word, the tribesman drew his bow and shot an arrow. The arrow swished into the heavy snow!
Ding~!
There was a crisp sound of metal clashing. No need to remind everyone, everyone bent their bows and shot arrows! Countless arrows swished into the vast white snow. This was their instinctive action for many years.
The tinkling sounds are endless, and the strange thing is that many arrows that are out of position also make impact sounds...
The wind picked up, and the snow in that area became sparse. The group of cavalry who came to clear grass in the northern part of the Central Plains saw a huge body covered with scales looming in the snow!
"Holy wolf god..."
Thump…thump…
The heavy footsteps shook the snow on the ground, and when the wind and snow cleared, nearly a thousand people finally saw what monster was in front of them, because a ferocious huge head full of bone spurs appeared above their heads!
He lowered his head and opened his mouth to bite down, picked up a giant wolf in his mouth, raised his head high, and swallowed the giant wolf whole in one go.
Then he lowered his head and picked up the giant wolf and swallowed it, one bite at a time. The wolf cavalry that once frightened the people of the Central Plains became food like a weak chicken. No matter how hard they struggled, they could not avoid the fate of being devoured. The cavalry roared and shot arrows wildly, and the tiny arrows were flying in the air.
The white scales leave sparks that cannot break through the defense. The scales are stronger than shields and the teeth are sharper than scimitars. They remain motionless and are allowed to be attacked by weapons.
The leader knew that even if they grouped together, they would not be able to defeat this monster, so it was meaningless.
"Run away! Get on your horse and run! Don't look back! Run out one by one!"
