The Iron King Du Zhu moved the stones from the entrance of the cave and blocked four-fifths of the view from the entrance. The entrance of the cave was wide open just now, and the wind and snow kept pouring in from the outside. The trembling people's heads and necks were stiff, and now they are left
Some, and sure enough, the cold feeling weakened a lot in an instant.
More importantly, these two dogs kept barking and pointing outside, saying that they had seen something extraordinary in the snow, which also made people feel horrified: The snow is so heavy, let alone your eyelashes.
Open, even if you open it, what can you see in the vast white field?
Li Gengfa frowned, thinking that Ergou was confused by the cold. After all, he didn't seem to be very courageous, so he said to King Suo, "Give him some hot water. Let him drink some to warm him up first and let him rest."
Originally, Li Reform's intention was to take turns arranging people to explore the road when the wind and snow calmed down a bit, but now it seems that these two dogs are no longer useful.
King Suo nodded and thought so, but Ergou kept holding on to his sleeves and refused to let go, so he had to coax and coax him to calm him down. For a while, the cave returned to calm.
What happened is a bit strange. Even if these two dogs are so cowardly, a snowstorm can scare the shit out of them?
When the boiling water in the cave was boiled and everyone cooked some half-cooked bran cakes to eat, the wind and snow outside also subsided a little.
The big dog rubbed his belly happily and dozed off while resting his head on the package. There were still seven or eight hours until nightfall. This was obviously the result of being extremely tired from the long journey just now.
The big dog had already fallen asleep, and it was obvious that he was unwilling to wake him up to work. King Suo was old, and climbing mountains was already exhausting, so how could he be allowed to explore the road in a snowstorm again? The two dogs were frightened.
That way, this is unrealistic——
Upon seeing this, Li Gengfa whispered a few words to Duci Tiewang and Yeshe Tsering. Yeshe Tsering rolled his eyes, then poked his head out to take a look at the situation outside, and said softly, "It's okay, but it's okay.
You can't go too far. In order to prevent one party from having problems, it's best for two people to go out at the same time. This way, if something goes wrong, they can take care of each other."
This thought seemed reasonable. Li Gengfa and Du Xi Tie Wang exchanged glances, and the two of them put on their equipment bags and went out.
"clatter--"
"Pah——"
Because there were two people suddenly missing from the cave, it became even quieter for a moment. There was only a little burning sound of solid fuel, and the final "chi" sound turned into a wisp of blue smoke in the air and disappeared.
"Huhu——"
The wind and snow outside gradually subsided, but the chill did not subside much. However, due to the warmth inside the cave, even the occasional snowballs that were blown in quickly melted.
About an hour later, there was a sound like someone stepping on snow in front of the cave. Yeshe Tsering thought it was the two of them coming back, but the sound of stepping on snow seemed to be lingering, as if they were looking at the entrance of the cave, waiting for something.
After a while, the sound of stepping on the snow began to become tinny and mixed——
The two dogs, who had already calmed down at this time, became frightened again. They looked at the entrance of the cave and murmured to themselves, "They are coming. They are indeed coming. I knew they would come sooner or later."
Automatically ignoring Ergou Shen's whispers, Yeshe Tsering frowned: No, it's just the footsteps of the two of them. Why does it sound like there are at least five or six people here?? And what he didn't expect was
, after the sound of stepping on the snow continued, the low roar of animals began to penetrate the eardrums, and his face suddenly froze.
"Quick, quick, let's go quickly, there's something outside the cave -"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp scream broke through people's eardrums, and the stone at the cave door was rolled away violently. What caught the eyes of the four people was something, staring at them intently.
Looking at them, at this moment, the two dogs let out an expected scream, which spread far and wide.
At the same time, on the other side——
Li Gengfa and Duci Tiewang walked in the snow for a while. Following the route given by Yeshe Tsering, they found another cave a mile further. This cave was smaller and messy, filled with hay and dead wood branches.
, it looked like a nest of some kind of animal, but as far as I could see, I didn’t see any animals.
"Let's bring them here quickly. This place is closer to the destination. If they are here, they can rest here tonight."
The Duthorn Iron King nodded slightly, but suddenly he knelt down with a feeling and looked at the fluffy snow on the snow.
"What's wrong?"
"Look here, there are footprints."
Um?
Li Gengfa took a look and found that the area was very clean and there were no footprints.
The Single Thorn Iron King pushed aside the snow flakes that had just covered it, revealing a sharp and small foot mark, somewhat similar to the footprints of a jackal——
Li Gengfa lowered his head and saw that the footprints were not solid. It can be seen that the thing was not big and walked briskly. In addition, the distance between the soles of some footprints was as short as 35 centimeters and as long as 100 centimeters.
The above proves that this thing is very responsive and can run very fast. Once it jumps, it is almost as good as a cheetah. Look at the messy footprints, but there are still slight differences in size, and some are even larger than others, which also proves that this thing is very responsive.
There is not just one thing.
Li Gengfa picked up a piece of hair that fell to the ground and almost melted with the color of snow. He said cautiously, "Maybe what those two dogs saw was not an illusion, maybe there is something real."
The Iron King Du Xiu was also a little cautious and unsure.
The two stood up and looked around. Li Gengfa was suddenly startled: These footprints were fine at first, but later they became messy, and they all went towards the foot of the mountain. Could it be that——
The expressions of the two people changed greatly, and they were about to rush to the foot of the mountain, but a scream suddenly came from the cave at the foot of the mountain, which immediately tensed up the nerves of the two people.
"Huhu——"
Li Gengfa and Duci Tiewang arrived at the cave as quickly as possible, only to find that no one was in the cave. However, there were pools of blood on the ground and messy blankets. It was obvious that they had been attacked suddenly.
It seems that those things have indeed been here.
what to do?
Li Gengfa pursed his lips: For the current plan, it is better to find them first.
The two of them started to follow the messy footprints in front of the cave side by side, but the footprints went straight up the mountain.
On the mountain?
Li Gengfa twitched his eyebrows and trudged up the mountain.
The wind and snow were getting colder, but it was difficult to see the road clearly.
The two of them waded up the mountain through the snow, and the biting cold wind penetrated their ankles, making their tongues tremble. However, the footprints suddenly disappeared on a flat piece of land halfway up the mountain???
!!!
Yes, it disappeared suddenly.
It took at least fifteen minutes for the two of them to reach here after hearing the scream. What happened in these fifteen minutes is ever-changing, but when the footprints disappeared halfway up the mountain, where would they go?
Looking around, there was only a vast expanse of white snow. Iron King Duzi sighed slightly and had some bad thoughts in his heart.
dark place——
"call--"
Heavy breathing, mixed with the smell of blood, rushed into the person's nostrils, and Ergou's eyes were spinning in his eye sockets.
, pressing the big dog's wound, gently said, "Master, will we be discovered by those things here?"
King Suo had a few bruises on his face that looked like scratches from claws. He softly "shushed" and said, "Don't make any sound."
In a huge icicle cave, the big dog, the second dog, and the king of locks were hiding behind the rocks. They were on a thin line between life and death. Their eyes were fixed on the things outside the rocks, constantly patrolling and looking for the figures of a few people.
When those things walk, the contact between their soles and the ground is just like a dragonfly touching water, and the sound they make is very light and almost undetectable. It is precisely because of this that they can often approach their prey silently and bite out the throat of their prey.
.
"Cengceng——"
Several things seemed to have been searching this area for a long time but found nothing. They gathered together to exchange opinions and finally left reluctantly.
"call--"
Ergou let out a sigh of relief without hesitation, and veins suddenly popped out on King Suo's forehead. He covered his mouth and held it in tightly.
The thing that had just left not long ago had raised its paws and moved away with its head shaking. However, it suddenly sensed movement. It made a big jump and was about to come back, but there was a shrill animal cry over there, which seemed to be what happened among "those things".
There was some emergency. The thing that was about to rush over looked at this side with some dissatisfaction, but still had to jump away.
Ergou's eyes almost fell out of his eyes. In that moment of life and death just now, if Suo Wang hadn't covered his mouth, he might have sang "Shandandan is blooming redly". Now I saw those things walking away
, I felt relieved and at the same time I had to lament my good luck.
"Master?" Ergou called out, King Suo frowned, "Stop talking, pick up the big dog, let's go. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time."
"good."
On the ice and snow ground, I saw that almost a piece of meat was missing from the big dog's thigh, and the bones were visible in the bloody wound. It was obvious that even the main artery had been torn apart. King Suo sighed and hurriedly tore off the corners of his clothes.
He was bandaged, but the big dog had already passed out from the pain, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't wake up for the time being.
When the three of them struggled to help the big dog walk for more than an hour, they came to a rock with a low eaves. When they had an unobstructed view of the surroundings and no shelter, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, put the big dog down and began to rest by beating its legs beside the rock.
stand up.
King Suo quickly took out the kettle and untied the big dog's wound. The big dog's wound was in serious condition and was bleeding constantly. He cleaned it carefully with the kettle, took out a clean cloth and soft pad, and then began to bandage him carefully.
stand up.
Ergou patrolled around, scared, "Master, those things won't catch up again, right?"
"We have been walking for so long, and we have caught up long ago. I don't know what attracted the attention of those ghosts just now. It's good luck for us, but -" Sighing slightly: I just don't know that Yixi
How is Tsering doing?
Li Gengfa doesn't need to worry: he is an ordinary person, but the Iron King is not. Although those things are scary, if he offends the Iron King, it will be a dead end.
By the way——
King Suo looked around and sighed: Why did he fall in this place? And the farther he went, the farther he went, how could he get out?
Ergou just went to explore the road and hasn't come back yet.
King Suo looked at the comatose big dog: He didn't see anything. Big dogs are like this. It is estimated that it will be difficult to walk in the future, or else -
But suddenly, there was a shout of surprise from the two dogs in front, "Master, master, come quickly, I found something good!!"
