Chapter 72 White Wolf King
"Daughter-in-law! How far is it to your Qiaonuo Department?"
Nan Yanxi sat on the horse and asked Qimuge: "Do I... need to pay attention to anything?"
By now, the wooden grid has generally begun to recognize the way.
Although they have left Liangguan, the territory within a few hundred miles ahead does not yet belong to Beiyuan territory.
This is a vacuum zone for both sides, a no-man's land.
Two people and four horses were walking on the vast grassland, and Nan Yanxi looked around.
This place is completely different from the beautiful scenery of the grassland that I imagined, with wind-blown grass and low cattle and sheep.
There are scattered bones everywhere, including those of humans, cattle, sheep, and horses.
A corpse that could not be identified fell into the haystack.
A flock of greedy vultures circled in the sky.
A few crows landed on a dead tree nearby and made a strange cry of "Wow... wow...".
Several strong wild dogs with long hair and curly tails were looking at them with red eyes.
Driving away the foxes who want a piece of the pie.
Stepping on the corpse, staring greedily at the humans passing by.
A scarlet tongue licked his lips.
I endured the rotten smell wafting from everywhere.
Nan Yanxi asked Qimuge with a painful expression: "Daughter-in-law, why is this different from the grassland you mentioned?"
Qimuge's face turned pale at this moment: "This is the battlefield for both sides, and it is also the buffer zone for both sides."
"I asked why this is the situation."
Nan Yanxi suddenly realized it and urged the horse to increase its speed slightly.
He didn't feel very good here, and he always felt slightly uneasy.
The black dragon next to him suddenly snorted warily again.
After a while, several other horses also appeared anxious.
Nan Yanxi seemed to have some feeling and turned around, and couldn't help being surprised.
Those sturdy wild dogs just now were following me not far or near.
These animals are different from the guard dogs raised at home.
They wander in the uninhabited areas of the grasslands, eating their hair and drinking their blood, and keep company with wild wolves.
When Nan Yanxi looked back at them, the wild dogs gradually quickened their pace and began to bark.
Pulling out the horn bow smoothly, Nan Yanxi thought bitterly.
There are just a few lost dogs, but they still dare to make plans of their own?
Then he drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and was about to teach them a lesson.
Qi Muge on the side suddenly exclaimed and looked to the side in panic.
Nan Yanxi hurriedly looked in that direction and saw the back of the hill not far away.
Suddenly a dark figure appeared, a muscular gray wolf.
Then the second one and the third one appeared...
Reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun, Nan Yanxi counted them carefully and found that there were at least twenty.
These wolves were divided into two teams. One team ran parallel to its own horse team along the hill, gradually approaching them.
The other team rushed down the mountain, met up with the wild dogs, and pursued the cavalry team.
It turns out that these wild dogs act as scouts for the wolf pack.
They are originally a family, and wild dogs can better approach human territory without raising alarm.
Now, they are wolves and dogs, and they join forces to get what they want.
Nan Yanxi didn't have time to think too much, so she had to increase her horse speed again.
The potatoes in the bucket were shaken out a lot, which made him feel very distressed.
Cursing secretly, Nan Yanxi turned around and drew her bow, and an arrow flew out.
But these guys seem to have been dealing with human archers all year round.
As soon as he saw Nan Yanxi firing an arrow, he instinctively avoided it.
Nan Yanxi shot three arrows in a row before he managed to hit one, which was a wild dog.
This made Qimuge on the horse very anxious: "Oh, brother, your archery skills are too bad!"
"Look at me!" After saying that, he grabbed Nan Yanxi's horn bow.
Taking the feather arrow from Nan Yanxi, he turned around, drew the bow, and released the arrow in one go.
With a "swish" sound, a scream came from the wolves behind him.
A hungry wolf fell to the ground at the sound.
"Good archery skills!" Nan Yanxi couldn't help but praise!
Looking at the little girl in front of him, he even had an illusion.
The moment Qimuge stepped onto the grassland, he truly came to life.
The heroic posture of turning around and bending the bow to set up an arrow is really graceful and sassy!
Nan Yanxi couldn't help but look straight in the eyes, and mechanically held the arrow against her in her hand.
Every time the little girl turned around to draw her bow, a hungry wolf would fall to the ground.
After a while, the corpses of seven or eight hungry wolves were already lying on the grassland behind him.
Qimuge raised his head proudly, stretched out his hand towards Nan Yanxi and said: "Brother...here comes the arrow!"
"Mu...mulie..."
Nan Yanxi suddenly had a grimace on her face and shook the empty arrow pot at her.
"Oh, why don't you get more?"
"I...I didn't know your grassland was so dangerous."
A bow without arrows is worse than a burning stick.
The wooden grid can only wait for the wolves to gradually approach, and then let out the empty strings backward.
At first, those beasts were subconsciously afraid and avoided.
But after a few times, I was no longer afraid.
Seeing the wolves getting closer and closer behind him, Nan Yanxi threw the Yanling knife to Qi Muge.
He himself picked up the long sword that he snatched from Wang Zhizhong.
He shouted towards Qimuge: "Daughter-in-law! You lead the cavalry to lead the way, I will stop behind!"
"Okay!" The little girl agreed and rushed to the front of the team with a wild goose feather knife in hand.
Nan Yanxi rode the black dragon and ran at the end of the team.
The copper ring on the broadsword rattled, and the sound of metal collision made the wolves afraid to approach for a while.
As they were running, Qimuge in front of him suddenly exclaimed and led the cavalry to quickly turn the direction.
Nan Yanxi looked up and secretly screamed.
Just now, the two of them were only focused on dealing with the pursuers behind them.
But they forgot about the main wolf pack on the hilltop on one side.
These cunning beasts had unknowingly circled to the front and right of him.
Qimuge was forced to turn left with the cavalry.
Nan Yanxi gradually had a bad feeling in her heart.
Sure enough, after the two of them ran not far, a small mountain of rocks suddenly appeared in front of them.
This hill is not big, but it just blocks the path that the horse team must pass.
The mountain is so steep that horses cannot climb it.
At this time, the hills on both sides and the road behind were completely surrounded by wolves.
Several wild dogs were among the wolves, cheering and cheering.
I completely forgot how I used to beg for food from the humans in front of me.
Seeing this scene, Nan Yanxi was heartbroken and hurriedly reined in the horse's hooves and turned the horse's head.
I thought to myself, uncle, I even killed a tiger, why am I still afraid of you hungry wolves and mixed-haired dogs?
The black dragon under his crotch seemed to think so too, and wasn't too scared.
At this time, the encirclement of the wolves gradually narrowed, gradually approaching the cavalry.
The four horses leaned in a tacit understanding at the foot of the rocky mountain, forming a semicircle.
His head rushed outwards, and his front legs struck the ground hard.
Maybe he smelled the faint smell of tiger blood on Nan Yanxi's body.
Or maybe it was because he was afraid of a few sturdy horses and the bright swords and guns in human hands.
The wolves just surrounded the horse team.
Although they were constantly harassed, they did not attack.
Nan Yanxi, who was waiting carefully, was immediately puzzled.
He turned around and asked Qimuge: "They put in so much effort, why didn't they attack us?"
Qi Muge held the Yan Fei Dao in his hand, and his face was extremely solemn: "They...are waiting for the Wolf King!"
"Wolf King?" Nan Yanxi heard this and was about to ask something else.
Several figures suddenly appeared on the hillside not far away.
Among them, a sturdy male wolf with silver-white fur is particularly eye-catching.
