The next morning, when I woke up from morning class, the mountain was already in a mess.
Having a meal, roping the deer, tightening...the bows were strung and crossed on the shoulders. The border residents looked calm. For them, this was part of their daily life.
What is in chaos are the old, weak, women and children in the team. They need to decide what to take with them and what to leave behind. This is a painful choice, because these things are all they have and are the guarantee for the survival of Anhe Country in the past.
While weeping, they each got on the deer sled with their small burdens. With the help of the border people, they tied them tightly with ropes, and then covered them with a huge leather, so as to isolate the human breath from leaking to the maximum extent.
, at least prevent the creatures in the forest from finding the target immediately.
This is the experience gained by the blood of the border people for thousands of years. It is something that Hou Zi could not have imagined for a moment. These twenty spirit stones are well worth the money!
After everything was ready, the deer sled team set off. Each deer sled was pulled by two strong male forest deer. They are forest creatures and are very adapted to the environment here. Now there are a few people pulling on the hard road.
It's strenuous, but once you enter the forest, it becomes much easier.
There are six deer sleds in a long snake formation, the last one is empty, in order to restrain those who fell off the sled.
Hou Zi and the young man rode side by side. They did not need to change horses. They only needed to run their exercises to reduce the burden on the horses. Moreover, there were no extra forest deer for them to change. This kind of creature has a weird temper and cannot be controlled by ordinary people.
The young man's expression was as usual. For a hunter who has lived in the wilderness and dealt with monsters all year round, this time was no different from the past.
But he is also worried, "I can only be in the front because you don't know the way; but in my experience, deer sleds are very fast. When they feel that there are foreign creatures intruding and gather around them, in fact, the ones at the front are actually
No pressure.
The pressure is behind..."
Hou Zi smiled slightly and said, "You do what you should do, and I will do what I should do. Don't worry about others, that's all."
The young man is still searching for the root cause, "What if one of us makes a mistake?"
Hou Zi took it for granted, "Then they deserve to be unlucky!"
The young man smiled. This was what he loved to hear, about surviving in the wild and dealing with monsters. What he feared the most was pretending to be a saint and being benevolent and righteous, which would drag everyone to death!
No one can guarantee that nothing will be lost. Hunters who have been traveling all year round know that today may be their last day. This is a must-have awareness; they have it, and so must the old and the weak!
Natural selection is the only way to survive! If this strange monk didn't have a mother-in-law behind him, they would really be able to take most of the people out.
Hou Zi looked at him funny, this young man was very angry with him, "What's your name?"
The young man looked back proudly, "On the border, only friends know each other's names. If I can get out, if you are still alive, I will tell you!"
Hou Zi laughed and slapped the boy on the hip, "It's time for you to lead the way."
In the angry glare of the young man, Hou Zi controlled his horse and inserted himself between the fifth and sixth deer sleds. This was his position, making it easier to throw the fallen people into the last deer sled.
The sky finally stopped raining, but it was also dark and gloomy. The sunshine they wanted did not come out, but the sled team had slowly begun to speed up, and there was no going back.
The young man took the lead and rushed into the poplar forest and began to lead the way in the forest. Unlike the path measured by human legs and feet, the deer sled has certain requirements for the road. If it goes forward in a zigzag way, it will not take nearly forty miles to run sixty miles. What's new.
The six deer sleds entered the poplar forest one after another. The drivers were very experienced and kept a tight distance between each other. This would not only prevent the traces of the deer sleds in front of them from being lost, but also leave a distance between the two sleds to prevent accidental collisions. Hou Zi once again lamented the value of this spiritual stone flower.
Six huge torches are soaked in grease and emit blazing light, which can act as a deterrent to creatures that are sensitive to flames.
Everything that can be done has been done to the extreme, and the speed of the entire deer sled can barely reach half of the horse's full speed; it sounds ordinary, but considering that this is in a dense poplar forest, there are six or seven people behind it. , this speed is already amazing.
It started very smoothly. In the first ten miles, we didn't even see any unusual creatures coming. On the contrary, wherever we passed, the creatures hiding in the tree tops and rotting leaves all abandoned their homes and fled, just like a dog covered in danger. The long dragon of fire.
Hou Zi didn't know what the boy encountered in the front, but he didn't encounter anything anyway, and the occasional creatures that appeared were also crushed by the deer sled.
This made Hou Zi realize that their biggest advantage here is speed! Before the creatures can react.
If they could walk in a straight line, it would really be possible to rush through the forest forty miles all the way. However, humans can walk in a straight line, but deer sleds cannot!
In many cases, it was impossible to squeeze out between the poplar trees with a deer sled that was nearly three feet wide. They had to go far away, which not only delayed time, but also gave the forest creatures time to react.
Hou Zi hurriedly picked up his horse, hurried a few steps, and slashed a rhinoceros fox lying on the skin in half with a sword. This guy was trying to bite a hole in the skin. Apparently, it had smelled some kind of human being. the breath.
In the second ten miles, forest creatures began to actively attack, appearing suddenly from the tops of trees and out of the fallen leaves, catching them off guard.
At this time, the two borderers on each deer sled showed their good quality and rich experience. The driver's control was very flexible, avoiding head-on confrontation with some large creatures; the hunters bowed far and near, They have little foundation in martial arts, but every move they wield with Tiecha comes from real training. There are no tricks, just ruthlessness.
Occasionally, some difficult creatures will be dealt with by Tsuta. Although there are constant conditions along this section of the road, there are still no dangers.
But the trend is changing!
Most of the most threatening creatures in the forest are concentrated deep in the forest. If calculated this way, as long as they persist for two more miles, the situation will develop for the better, but this is theoretical.
Deer Sled entered the third ten miles, and they were almost halfway there. Although the number of abnormal creatures was still increasing, the increase was very limited, which allowed Hou Zi to see the light of day.
So far, he has not consumed much and has retained most of his combat power. The spiritual power contained in the meridians in his body is still abundant, but his good mood was interrupted by a tiger roar!
He was sure it was a tiger's roar because it was so different, but he didn't understand what it meant?
He finally understood that what was probably wrong was not the abnormal creatures, but the reaction of the border residents; their faces, which had always been calm and composed, showed a look of fear, as if the end was approaching!
"What happened?" Hou Zi yelled.
A border citizen responded, "It's the tiger god in the forest. We can't escape. When the tiger god roars, the forest beasts report in. This is a signal that the tiger god wants to encircle and suppress us!"
Hou Zi scolded him back unceremoniously, "Listen to me, no one in this world dares to call himself a god. If there is, it must be a human being! Go ahead and don't look around. Even if it is a god, I will not." I need to smooth out some of its hair!"
You must not weaken your momentum, it will kill you!
...Nine winding Yangchang Road, Thousand Layers of Sword and Halberd Mountain. There are vines and thorns running along the road, and tiger stripes are sitting on them. The trees are hairy in the late autumn, and the clouds are returning to thousands of valleys. We go sledding together in the forest, although we are tired and don’t know how to return.
