This time, Zhao Zheng won the bet, probably because the life-and-death situation stimulated his body's potential. He successfully performed Luo Yanbu. His whole body felt light, and his body rose into the air, grabbing the tree trunk above his head. He used both hands to
He pressed down hard with his arms, pushed his body up, and swung his legs onto the tree trunk.
As soon as Zhao Zheng stabilized his legs, a wolf on the right pounced, opened its sharp teeth, took a bite in mid-air, and flew away.
The remaining wolves howled and communicated with their voices, and divided into two groups in an orderly manner. One group continued to pursue, while the other group stayed under the tree and surrounded the tree. Because the wolves' claws were not good for
Climbing, this pack of wolves cannot climb trees.
Zhao Zheng was still uneasy, so he jumped up and grabbed a higher trunk, relying on the buoyancy he still had in his body, and climbed up. The tree was not very strong, and the branches further up were very thin, so it might be difficult to
Supporting the weight of a person, Zhao Zheng did not dare to climb any higher, so he stopped on this branch, breathing heavily.
There were five wolves left in place. These wolves raised their heads and howled at Zhao Zheng above, their voices full of threats.
The remaining six wolves ran away and soon caught up with the bay-red horse. One of the wolves pounced on the bay-red horse's hind legs and bit it with its mouth. The bay-red horse let out a wail and fell to the ground. The other three wolves
Their legs kept scratching the ground, knocking away all the fallen leaves. The other wolves attacked and bit the bay horse all over its body. One of the horses bit the vital part of its throat, tearing out a lot of blood.
The bay-red horse screamed in agony, and more and more blood flowed from its body. Under the bites of the wolves, it finally died and completely died.
These six wolves did not abandon their companions to eat alone. They bit the carcass of the bay-red horse and dragged the body to the tree where Zhao Zheng was. The tallest wolf king took the lead in eating. The wolf king circled the tree.
Shu walked around a few times and roared a few times. Seeing that Zhao Zheng could not come down obediently for a while, he stopped paying attention to Zhao Zheng and began to enjoy a feast of flesh and blood.
When the wolves eat, they have to eat in order according to their status. The wolf king has to eat first. After the wolf king has finished eating, it is the other wolves' turn to eat. The wolf king tears the flesh and blood of the bay-red horse with a big mouth, and the rich bloody smell wafts out.
It appears particularly pungent in the dry and cold air.
Zhao Zheng was about five meters away from the ground, but he could still smell the smell of blood. His stomach churned and he almost vomited it out. Somehow, the smell of blood seemed much stronger than the usual smell of blood. His
After his breathing calmed down a little, he glanced down with lingering fear, only to see the eleven wolves entrenched under the tree, staring at him with eager eyes. The eleven pairs of eyes were as cold as sharp blades.
One wolf saw that the Wolf King was eating with gusto, licked his mouth, then looked up at Zhao Zheng, the second "prey", bowed his body, and jumped high. Unfortunately, it lacked jumping power and was still a little short of
Only a short distance can reach the tree trunk where Zhao Zheng is.
Zhao Zheng looked down at the wolf. The figure of the other party quickly enlarged and then shrunk in his eyes. A strong wind caused by the wolf hit his face, and the hair on his temples trembled twice. He hit
With a shiver, he withdrew his gaze and leaned against the tree trunk.
Time passed little by little in the tense confrontation. After the wolf king had eaten and drank enough, he licked his bloody mouth and stepped aside. The other wolves rushed up and started to fight for the remaining flesh and blood. Although a horse was large in size, it was
There was simply not enough food for this group of wolves. During the fight, conflicts broke out frequently among the wolves. The stronger wolves drove the weaker wolves aside and then bit into them. The driven wolves were unwilling to starve and found opportunities.
After that, they will squeeze up again to pick up the leaks and eat some unpalatable parts.
The whole scene was extremely bloody!
Zhao Zheng was leaning on the tree, thinking about how to escape. He had a fire stick and a torch on him. If he lit the torch and threw it into the withered grass, it would cause a fire and scare the wolves away. However, the wolves may not be able to escape. Even if he ran far away, he still couldn't get off the tree easily. When the fire spreads, it would be easy to trap him inside.
This idea was really not that good. He shook his head and continued to think of other ideas. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he remembered the kaleidoscopic firecracker tube that Shen Luoxia gave him before. With this thing, he could shoot out to the sky. A distress signal, if there are people from the Wanhua Valley Hua Family or friends of the Hua Family nearby, they will come to help.
If this thing can be used to call an expert from the Hua family, he will be saved. However, the chance is too low. This is a wilderness and inaccessible, let alone a member of the Hua family. .
"No matter what, let's treat a dead horse as a live doctor." Zhao Zheng had no other way to escape, so he had to try his luck. He reached into his arms, took out the finger-thick Wanhua firecracker tube from his arms, and opened it. Lift the upper cover, and then pull the mechanism at the bottom hard. A spark lights up in the metal tube, igniting the gunpowder inside, and a peony-colored firework shoots out. After the firework blooms in the sky, it forms the shape of a peony flower. , extremely beautiful.
The Wanhua Firecracker Container makes a "chichi" sound and shoots out a firework every five seconds or so. After shooting ten fireworks, it stops completely and the sparks inside are naturally extinguished. The Wanhua Firecracker Container can be used three times in total. Shen Luoxia has used it once before, and Zhao Zheng has used it once again. Now there is only one last chance to use it.
Zhao Zheng took back the hot Wanhua firecracker tube into his arms, planning to release it one last time after a few hours to increase the hope of being discovered. If the two fireworks failed to attract anyone, he would have to consider An escape plan from setting fire to the forest.
This group of hungry wolves ate very quickly, and it didn't take long for them to eat the bay horse until only its skeleton was left. Several wolves that were not full gnawed on the skeleton, peeling off the meat hidden in the gaps between the bones.
A group of wolves stood guard under the tree, sometimes roaring and threatening Zhao Zheng, and sometimes circling the tree, waiting for Zhao Zheng to come down and die.
Zhao was praying in his heart, hoping that the thousands of firecracker tubes could be brought in to rescue the troops.
The reinforcements did not come, but the wolves made new movements first. The wolf king roared at the sky, and then led the wolves away together, seeming to have given up on Zhao Zheng, the superior prey.
Zhao Zheng was inexplicably happy to be saved from a desperate situation, and kept watching the wolves go away. At first, he thought that the wolves were really going away, but then he discovered something was wrong. After the wolves walked far away, they looked back from time to time. , and did not really go far, always keeping a certain distance. This group of wolves obviously set a trap for Zhao Zheng deliberately, luring Zhao Zheng to get off the tree!
"These cunning beasts!" Zhao Zheng cursed, seeing firsthand the power of predators like wolves.
The Wolf King and his pack of wolves watched from a distance and formed a circle. They watched for a long time and saw that Zhao Zheng had not fallen into the trap, so they walked back unwillingly and continued to squat in place.
Zhao Zheng was confronting the wolves under the tree, waiting hard for reinforcements to appear. Before the reinforcements came, he felt hungry first. Fortunately, he had a few self-refined satiety pills on him. This pill has It has a very good hunger-satisfying effect. He smiled bitterly. He originally refined this elixir just to practice his skills, but he didn't expect it to be of great use now. He took the medicine bottle out of his arms and poured out a pill as big as a jujube. , bit off half of it in one bite, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it into his stomach. Half of this belly pill is made of condensed grain, and the taste is similar to rice balls, which is quite delicious.
He felt that half of the Fruit Belly Pill was enough, so he put the remaining half of the Fruit Belly Pill back into the medicine bottle and continued to wait.
At this moment, a strange voice suddenly came from above: "Little doll, who are you? Why do you have such a thing as a kaleidoscopic firecracker tube in your hand?"
Zhao Zheng was filled with surprises. It was the first time in his life that he was so happy to hear someone's voice. He raised his head and looked around, and at a glance he saw a black figure squatting on a tree trunk.
This man was wearing a black robe, his head was wrapped in black silk, and his face was wrapped in a black scarf. Only a pair of sinister eyes were exposed. He was slightly stout and had a bulging belly. He could dance silently. To reach such a high tree and not let Zhao Zheng find him shows that his martial arts is very high and he is capable enough to rescue Zhao Zheng.
"Senior, I am a friend of the Hua family in Wanhua Valley, and the Wanhua firecracker tube in my hand was given to me by someone from the Hua family." Zhao Zheng, having survived a desperate situation, replied happily.
"Who do you know from the Hua family?" the man in black robe asked in a strange voice.
"This thing is a flower...a woman named Hua Rongrong gave it to me." Zhao Zheng was overly cautious and lied. Shen Luoxia had told people to say that Hua Xiangrong gave it to him when asked. But Hua Xiangrong had many enemies in the world, and he still didn't know the details of this black-robed man, so he didn't dare to take Hua Xiangrong out casually.
"Hua Rong Rong? I've never heard of such a famous person." The man in black robe squinted his eyes slightly, and his eyes were even sharper than the wolf's.
"She is still young and is a new generation talent of the Hua family. She is not well-known in the world yet. It is normal that the seniors have not heard of her name." Zhao Zheng looked at the man in black robe and felt something bad. From this black Judging from the tone of the robe man, it seems that he has no direct relationship with the Hua family.
"The Wanhua Firecracker Tube is a token that can only be owned by the elders of the Wanhua Valley family. How could a junior like her have such a thing?" the man in black robe asked again.
"Although she is not an elder, her grandfather is an elder in the clan and has a high seniority. This Ten Thousand Flowers Firecracker Cone was given to her by her grandfather." Zhao Zheng continued to lie.
"Jiejie, she gave you such an important thing. It seems that you two have a good relationship. If you die at the mouth of these wolves, she will definitely be very sad." The man in black robe laughed strangely. The sound, the sound is indescribably unpleasant.
"Senior, you are joking." Zhao Zheng laughed dryly, thinking to himself that it was not good. Although the man in black robes was attracted by the Ten Thousand Flowers Firecracker Cone, he did not seem to intend to save him. Instead, he wanted to watch. He was eaten by wolves! Could it be that this man was not a friend of the Hua family, but an enemy of the Hua family? If that were the case, Zhao Zhengke would be crying without tears.
"I never joke." The man in black robe laughed strangely a few times, and his shoulders swayed. He looked at Zhao Zheng several times, raised his hand and grabbed the corner of the black scarf, "You look like you have some experience in the world. Let me show you my face, maybe you can recognize me." As he said that, he pulled off the black scarf, revealing his true face.
