Chapter 16 Act 2 Black Armor Cavalry Three
The pouring rain made the mountain road ahead become muddy and difficult to navigate, and the footprints and smells of the two children were quietly hidden. The rain showed no signs of stopping, and they could only rely on the flickering torches in their hands to illuminate the difficult journey. They climbed step by step towards the top of the mountain. But now, their clothes were soaked through, they were cold and tired, so they had to stop temporarily.
"Little Stammer, you just said, what kind of wolf is chasing us?"
Ning Yue was out of breath, holding on to a big tree and panting. Her face was full of panic and confusion. It was obvious that she had never seen a real wolf.
"Yue'er, do you still remember the skin I was wearing before? It was just an ordinary mountain wolf skin. In fact, the size of the wild wolf in Leiyin Mountain is one of the largest among the four states in the south. But according to legend, a thousand years ago , there is also a giant wolf that is larger in size and much more ferocious on this continent - that is the Chi Wolf."
Seeing that the beast behind him had not caught up for the time being, Jiang Yan explained, but still looked worried, "This kind of wolf is more than seven feet long. Standing on the ground, it is almost as tall as an adult. It can easily kill a leopard, and even Even tigers and bears will retreat when they see one. Fortunately, they are solitary by nature and rarely appear in groups like ordinary mountain wolves. Otherwise, how could we have escaped so easily just now? It’s just——”
"Just what?" Hearing what the young man said, Ning Yue looked towards the way she came from with lingering fear.
"It's just that I remember that as early as the rise of the dynasty, these giant wolves should have been killed. Even if there were a few fish that survived, they were all driven away to Shuo by Emperor Baijiang's troops. He was hiding in the insurmountable Baimang mountain in Wanzhou, how could he suddenly appear in Wanzhou now?"
Just as the young man was speaking, the torch in his hand suddenly jumped a few times without warning, and the light quickly dimmed. Although it was fueled by rosin, the weak fire struggled feebly for a long time and finally resisted. But the cold rain was completely extinguished.
Before his eyes could adjust to the sudden darkness surrounding him, Jiang Yan heard a muffled sound beside him. It seemed that Ning Yue, who had fallen into the darkness, lost her balance and slipped on the hillside. The young man immediately bent down to help his companion up, but Halfway through his hand, he froze in front of the girl, and then shouted two words loudly:
"Flash!"
Hearing that even the voice of her companion had changed, Ning Yue did not dare not listen, and immediately twisted her body and rolled towards the darkness. At the same time, she clearly felt that there was a living thing scurrying through the dense rain curtains. Coming up, his feet landed heavily on the place where he fell.
Even in the torrential rain, the girl could clearly smell the strong stench brought by the thing. She struggled to use her two arms to support her upper body in the slippery soil. When she turned her head slightly, a figure appeared in her peripheral vision. The huge black shadow was shaking less than a foot away from me. It was a huge wolf head!
The giant beast twitched its nose and turned towards the prey that had managed to escape. Now Ning Yue could finally see clearly - the long red tongue of the wolf was hanging at the corner of its mouth, and there was still liquid flowing down it, whether it was rain or saliva. The tip of her tongue was dripping. She wanted to run, but her body didn't obey her orders at all, and she couldn't move at all.
The girl knew that there was no way she could defeat the beast beside her that was ready to attack. Just when she thought she was about to be killed by a wolf, the little white fox in her arms came out with a squeak and jumped up to its owner. He raised his shoulder to the Chilang opposite and started to demonstrate with "chirp, chirp, chirp".
Chilang had probably never seen a white fox before, and he couldn't understand why such a little kid dared to provoke him so boldly, and didn't bite Ning Yue immediately with his already open mouth.
In this flash of lightning, the giant beast was suddenly pushed from its side to the ground. The force was so great that it rolled several times on the hillside, completely away from Ning Yue's side. .
The one who emerged from the slanting stab was none other than Jiang Yan, who was bent on saving others. The black-eyed boy didn't know how he had exploded with such amazing power, but he had no time to think about it. Before Chilang got up from the ground again, He jumped onto its back, pressed his body close to the wolf's body, entwined his legs and feet around the slender waist of the wolf, and grabbed hold of the two upper limbs on the giant beast's head that were larger than his own hands. A circle of ears.
The galloping wolf spun wildly in the mud, but it couldn't bite the two legs of the young man on its back, which were so close.
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Yan roared loudly like a fierce lion, strangled Chilang's neck with his left arm, and clenched his fist with his right hand, hitting the side of the beast's head hard. After a few punches, , the Chilang couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, and was knocked to the ground forcefully by the young man. He struggled several times and couldn't get up.
However, Jiang Yan did not relax because of this. Instead, he pushed his feet hard on the ground and quickly pulled out the bright Bai Pi from his waist, pointing the blade directly at the exposed soft belly of the wolf.
The short knife, which was as sharp as clay, sank into the wolf's skin effortlessly. The galloping wolf let out a scream of pain, stretched out its hind legs in an extremely weird posture, and kicked the young man on the chest.
Jiang Yan did not dare to let go easily, so he had to take the kick. Although he was not kicked away by the giant beast, the short knife still fell out of his hand. He immediately felt a burning pain in his chest. When he lowered his head, he saw only several layers of clothes. It had been torn to pieces, revealing four claw marks that were several inches long and dripping with blood.
The opportunity to fight was fleeting, and the giant wolf struggled more and more violently after being stabbed. Seeing that the giant beast beneath him was about to break free, Jiang Yan immediately shouted to his companions:
"Help me find the knife quickly!"
Ning Yue, who had been frightened for a long time, just came back to her senses, and quickly found the fallen Baipi in the dark in the mud, and then hurriedly threw it away following the voice of her companions. However, because she was too nervous, the girl could not control it at all. The strength in his own hand. Although Jiang Yan caught the short sword in the air, he could not hold it on the handle. But at this time, he could not care about so much. He directly clenched the only weapon in his hand and moved towards the wolf who was held by his left arm. The neck was cut hard.
A stream of scalding liquid surged out from under the sharp tip of the knife. This time the boy exerted a great deal of strength and pulled out a large gash half a foot long on the neck of the giant beast.
Under the severe pain, Chilang's steel-needle-like mane exploded. It suddenly tightened its muscles and stood up on the hillside again, trying to break free from Jiang Yan's arm. But it was very difficult. Quickly, the huge body suddenly stopped struggling and fell down like a hill.
Jiang Yan rolled on the spot and avoided the heavy body pressed down by Chi Lang. He was still frightened. It wasn't until the red-haired girl came to him and tried to help him up that he noticed that Bai Pi had cut a gash in his palm. The cut to the bone was deeply visible. The previous stab wounds on his back also burst out again during the struggle, staining his whole body bright red. The blood dripping from his fingertips and corners of his clothes was unknown whether it was human blood or animal blood.
"It doesn't matter if you want me, little stutter!"
Ning Yue's voice was trembling and she wanted to stop Jiang Yan's bleeding, but he refused. The boy washed the wound on his palm in the rain, then tore off a rag from his sleeve with a sneer, and bandaged it randomly, while still speaking Full of uncontrollable tension:
"What I just killed was just an underage wolf cub. If the cub is here, the mother wolf will not be far away. The air is full of the smell of blood, and it won't take long for it to follow the smell and find it! If we meet again, I’m afraid we won’t be able to fly even if we have wings. We can’t stay here for long!”
Ning Yue also knew that what her companion said was true, so she hurriedly picked up the blood-stained Baipi from the ground and put it in her arms. Then she and the young man supported each other and continued to climb higher along an ancient road on the ridge that had long been abandoned. He climbed up. However, the injuries on Jiang Yan's body caused his remaining physical strength to drain away rapidly. His legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead water, and he walked slower and slower.
I don’t know how long they walked, but the continuous sound of water finally reached the ears of the two children. The mountain stream swelled sharply under the heavy rain, and the flowing water clearly reminded them of their location.
The Pheasant River, the second largest river in Wanzhou, originates from the Leiyin Mountain. It rushes eastward, merges into Qinmengze with Lishui in the south, and then flows northward into the Yanjiang River. To understand Yan, he only needs to follow the roaring If the stream goes down the mountain, you may be able to find a settled village and ask for help.
However, things were not that simple. The two finally followed the flowing water to the east side of the mountain, only to find that what lay in front of them was a bottomless cliff. The stream, which was more than ten feet wide, was pitch black at the end of the cliff. Plunging straight down into the deep valley, the sound of water echoed for a long time, and even speaking face to face, one had to shout with all his strength.
As the saying goes, misfortune never comes alone. Just as the two were about to turn back and find another way to get down the mountain, several more figures emerged from the darkness in front of them. The other party was several warriors wearing black armor. In the darkness, they would Yan could only see the faint skylight reflected on his armor, and the long blade as bright as a torch in the night.
Perhaps attracted by the fire that was previously lit in the mountains, or perhaps because they heard the roars of the previous human-wolf battle, the Ye Kingdom cavalry who had been following behind them like a shadow these days actually found traces of the two children again. , and blocked their only escape route!
"This kid is quite capable. He actually killed that wolf cub with his bare hands."
The warriors were talking in low voices, but they seemed to be quite afraid of the black-eyed child in front of them because of the Chilang corpse they saw on the hillside. The night also cleverly concealed Jiang Yan's injuries, so that the other party did not dare to do so for a while. Easily rush forward and launch an attack.
The young man once again reached for the knife behind his waist, but suddenly realized that Baipi was still with his companions. But even if he had the knife in his hand at this moment, how would he fight the opponent next, and how would he escape if he lost? No idea at all.
Ning Yue also realized that the situation was dangerous, so she quickly closed her eyes tightly, trying to concentrate on arousing another whirlwind to help herself and her companions escape. However, the power in her body was uncontrollable at all, and her efforts made her more and more desperate. That’s all.
"Little Stammer, what should we do?"
The helpless girl stood beside her companion and shivered.
"I will never let them hurt you!"
Jiang Yan just gritted his teeth and comforted him, but did not ask the girl for his dagger. Because just a simple breath now made the wounds on his body hurt like fire. He knew clearly that, He and Ning Yue have become flesh and blood on the chopping board. Unless a miracle happens, they will have no choice but to be slaughtered by others.
However, just as the two sides were standing in a stalemate in front of the waterfall, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky. In the dazzling white light that illuminated the sky, the boy suddenly saw a black figure as big as a bear, with pointed ears and a long tail, and a body covered with fur. , and a pair of eyes that reflect frightening fluorescence.
"It's the she-wolf! She followed the smell of blood left on the road to find her!"
Jiang Yan shouted in panic. Before he finished speaking, Chilang had already pounced towards the crowd!
It was only then that the black-armored warriors noticed something strange behind them, and turned their heads to look. But the giant beast was so fast that it scattered them in an instant. The wolf claws easily flattened and tore the armor on one of them. , and then disembowelled the wolf. When the remaining people saw this, they had no choice but to leave the two children behind temporarily and slashed at the female wolf's body with their knives.
The black armor cavalry in front of him was engaged in a fierce battle with Chi Lang, but Jiang Yan saw life again. Without saying a word, he took his companion's hand and planned to escape in the chaos.
However, the darkness made it difficult to tell the direction. Even the sound of roaring water surged into their ears from all directions, making the already panicked two people even more dizzy. In a panic, they headed towards the cliff. He ran towards where he was. When he felt that the solid ground under his feet was suddenly empty and he wanted to stop, it was already too late!
