Perhaps it’s because Changshengtian is off today, so I didn’t hear Jieli’s prayer.
When he stumbled all the way to the black horse that kept whining, he only had time to take a look, and his heart was completely cold!
The black horse's front legs have been broken!
And not only was the leg broken! The white broken bone penetrated deeply into the horse's belly, and blood spurted out!
"ah!!!"
Jie Li knelt down on the ground, holding the thousand-mile-long horse that had saved him in danger many times and roaring to the sky!
That roar full of unwillingness and helplessness kept stirring in the wilderness, even scaring the vultures in the sky into flapping their wings and flying away!
Jieli is unwilling to give in!
He was unwilling to die like a humble wild dog in this barren land!
He is the king of the grassland! He is the king of the whole world! Even if he dies, he does not deserve to be so unknown!
"I can't die here! I still want to whip my horse! I still want to enjoy everything in the world!"
Jieli's eyes gradually turned red! He struggled to stand up, then looked back at the black horse, whose whining gradually became smaller, and finally, like a wild beast, he pounced on it viciously...
————
Darkness gradually enveloped the earth.
In the darkness, countless shining green eyes wandered and jumped in the desert!
This is a group of wild wolves living in the desert!
At this time, they are competing with their companions for the horses and human flesh that died during the day!
For the barren desert, this group of wild wolves had not enjoyed such a sumptuous meal for a long time! So after the first wolf enjoyed the first bite of food, the other wild wolves immediately pounced on it, desperately fighting for the rare food.
Delicious food at first sight!
"呲呲......"
A little wolf with no eyes accidentally ran up to the alpha wolf during the fight. The alpha wolf was disturbed and showed no mercy, biting the little wolf's neck hard!
"Aww, oww..." The poor little wolf whined incessantly. His four claws dug hard at the ground, grinding out several deep grooves on the ground, but the alpha wolf didn't seem to relax at all.
It wasn't until the little wolf's body gradually stiffened that the alpha wolf shook it hard, flinging the body away, and continued to enjoy the food under the awe and fear of the other wild wolves.
This is the law of the wilderness, the strong have everything, the weak have nothing!
"Da da..." A crisp sound of horse hooves came from a distance.
The alpha wolf who had just established his authority in front of the clan wolves immediately raised his head alertly and roared into the distance.
The sound of horse hooves did not weaken, but became increasingly clear.
The alpha wolf was enraged!
It raised its head angrily, opened its bloody mouth, and wanted to roar!
However, a little black light is faster than his roar!
Almost the moment he opened his mouth, the black light was already in front of him, then penetrated from its big mouth and flew out from the back of his head!
"Boom..." The first wolf fell down, his eyes wide open. Even until his death, he couldn't figure out how those four-hoofed animals that were common in the desert killed him!
Of course, it won’t be the horse that kills it, but the person on the horse!
This arrow was not the only one. After that, several more sharp arrows flew out, pinning the wolves that had no time to dodge to the ground one by one. In the end, only a few wild wolves that were lucky enough to be uninjured held their tails between their legs and whined.
Run away into the distance.
The wild wolf fled, and the sound of horse hooves gradually stopped.
Under the moonlight, a Tang cavalry group of only a dozen people slowly came to the land full of blood and corpses.
If Xiao Han could see the appearance of these ten people at this time, he would definitely take a breath!
Li Jing! Xue Wanche! Chai Shao! Li Daozong!
These generals of the Tang Dynasty who had announced that they could not find Jieli, suddenly appeared behind Jieli!
"General, there are about forty or fifty people here. It looks like they killed each other!"
Su Dingfang held a torch, came back from the pile of torn and disfigured corpses, and reported to Li Jing with a strange look on his face.
Li Jing looked at the dead wolf corpses around him expressionlessly, and asked in a deep voice: "Where's Jie Li? He's not dead, right?"
"No, there is no body of his in here!" Su Dingfang answered with certainty, handing over his hand!
"His life is really tough!" Li Jing nodded when he heard this, but there was no emotion on his face, and he didn't know whether he was praising or ridiculing.
"Report..."
Suddenly, another scout came galloping in the distance, and from a distance away from Li Jing, he shouted anxiously: "Jieli's war horse was found ten miles ahead!"
"Oh?" When Li Jing heard this, his expression finally changed: "What's going on!"
The scout had already rushed forward. He didn't have time to take a breath and hurriedly handed over his hands to report: "My subordinates were searching along the road and saw Jieli's war horse on the roadside in front! The horse broke its leg and was covered with wounds.
There are no traces of sharp blades cutting flesh, but no trace of Jieli!"
"The horse broke its leg? This old boy can't be so unlucky, can he?" Xue Wanche on the side rolled his eyes when he heard this! They are all so angry, and this guy can't escape from this desert? I'm so sorry for people like myself.
Bar?
"Let's go! Go take a look!" Li Jing said nothing, shook the reins, and urged the scouts to move forward.
For the cavalry, a distance of ten miles is only the time it takes for a cup of tea.
Soon, Li Jing and others arrived at the dead black horse.
Perhaps it was the pile of corpses in front that attracted the attention of all the carnivores. Apart from the traces of being bitten by ants, this black horse lying alone on the roadside had never been eaten by other large animals!
"This is indeed Jie Li's horse!"
Among the team, Li Daozong was the first to arrive. He jumped off his horse, lit a torch, carefully identified the body lying on the ground, and then nodded affirmatively to the few people who came behind him.
This dark horse is not a simple horse, but a thousand-mile BMW that has come all the way from the Western Regions!
The appearance and size of this kind of horse are very different from the local Turkic war horses. Therefore, for generals like them who deal with horses all day long, it is indeed easy to identify.
"The knife marks on this body..."
At this time, Chai Shao also came here. He jumped off his horse and carefully observed the neat marks on the horse corpse with the dancing firelight. Then he couldn't help taking a breath: "This can't be done by Jie Li."
Was it cut?"
"He should have done it!" Li Jing came late, but he only glanced at the body and said in a deep voice: "Jieli was worried that the horse would survive, so he cut the horse meat to use as food! And it was not just for eating.
If he drank horse meat, he should also drink horse blood!”
"Eat the flesh of your own mount and drink its blood? Bah! This is a killer!" Su Dingfang is the youngest among these people, so he has the most impulsive personality!
At this time, when I heard that in order to survive, Jieli would not even let go of a horse that the cavalry regarded as life, I suddenly became furious, rolled up my sleeves and wanted to catch him back!
