If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 889 Unexpected (25)

The huntress did not sleep well that night.

There are many factors that interfere with the quality of her sleep, the howling of the snowstorm, the anxiety in her heart, the staring and whispering of the 'devil' outside the house. She spent the whole night in a light sleep, and every crackle of the firewood in the stove It will make her eyelashes tremble, and the translucent eyelids are full of figures walking and whispering.

This kind of process is very tortured, and the torture ended with an uncontrollable exclamation the next morning.

Hearing the exclamation that was close to screaming, the huntress immediately jumped up from the thick fur, took off the wooden bow on her body in a half-kneeling posture, drew out an arrow and put it on the bowstring to aim at the source of the exclamation The bow is fully opened, and the fatigue of the whole body seems to be poured into the wooden bow that is ready to go through the shrinking and expanding back.

But after seeing clearly the source of the exclamation that the bow and arrow were aiming at, she was stunned, and slowly put down the wooden bow in her hand.

By the window of the wooden house, Dusha, wearing a bearskin hat, rested her hands on the window sill excitedly, poked her head out of the opened wooden window, and chirped something.In the hunter's wooden bow, a few wisps of snowflakes drifted in with the wind outside the window, falling on the floor of the wooden house and being melted by the heat from the fire.

The blizzard stopped.

After realizing this, the huntress immediately put away her wooden bow and walked quickly to the wooden window. Even Dusha, who had always been mean to her and wished she would die immediately, didn't care about her now, and devoted herself to the blizzard In the joy of stopping.

The cuckoo clock points to [-]:[-] in the morning, and the American Adam, who has been on the last night of the vigil, is not in the slightest. On the contrary, he is very excited to look out the window at the dark world where the sky is not yet bright, but the roaring wind and snow have disappeared.

The most surprising and relieved thing is that with the end of the blizzard, those golden-eyed 'devils' also disappeared, and no ghosts could be seen in the dark coniferous forest. Everything passed away with the blizzard. Those whispers and black silhouettes are like hallucinations in the snow.

"That's true." The huntress also had joy on her face.

"When did the blizzard stop?" Vika, who also woke up to find this scene, also hurriedly asked happily.

"Half an hour ago, it suddenly slowed down. I thought it was an illusion at first, but after watching by the window for a while, I realized that the blizzard had really cooled down!" Adam's face was all rosy, and a beam of joy stood out.

"Where are those things?" The huntress asked quickly.

"Disappeared with the blizzard. When the blizzard was about to end, they retreated into the depths of the coniferous forest. When the blizzard was over, there was nothing left."

"Those monsters can only appear in a snowstorm?" Dusha asked.

"Not necessarily, maybe it can only appear at night, just like the legendary vampire." Adam, an American who is a veteran vampire fan, put forward his own opinion.

"As I said, the blizzards here generally don't last more than three days." Compared with the blizzard, Vika cared more about the disappearance of the group of demons, he couldn't help but said with a big sigh of relief.

After finishing speaking, he looked at the KGB lieutenant colonel at the side, and everyone looked at the man who looked like an iron tower. After all, he was the one who "alarmed" the blizzard at the beginning and might not survive it for several days.In the end, they found that the lieutenant colonel's expression was not the slightest embarrassment or relaxation at the moment. Instead, it was as deep as a pool of water as always, and his eyes under the black eyebrows were fixed on the depths of the coniferous forest.

"Okay, okay, now that the blizzard is over, we should think about leaving here." Adam hurriedly smoothed things over, he seemed afraid that someone would suddenly say something strange, which would make the lieutenant colonel unhappy and start a conflict or something. Now they The most urgent task is to escape from here.

"How far is it from here to the town? I got lost here, so I don't know the way." Adam looked at the two locals, Vika and Huntress.

"It's a two-hour journey, and the woods are okay. If you're on the road, considering that the snow on the road will be very deep after the snowstorm, it will take about three to four hours." Vika calculated.

"Stay for five hours, we still have wounded to deal with." The huntress said suddenly.

"You want to take him on the road together?" Vika frowned subconsciously, looking at the old hunter who was still lying on the kang.

"Is there any reason to give up the wounded now?" The huntress never backed down in this regard. After the blizzard and the devil's crisis subsided, there was still no room for any relaxation in the conflict between her and the bandit Vika.

Vika doesn't quite understand what's wrong with this woman's head. She shot through his sister's hand with a bow and arrow, and he didn't even confront him. He shot an old man who had nothing to do with the other party, but the other party confronted him like something. . Are young people in Moscow brainwashed by the main tone of justice?
"The round trip is very long, more than ten hours, he may not last that long, and I think he needs the most comprehensive treatment in the town to get out of danger." The huntress stared at Vika and him. Unhappy younger sister Dusha, "This is also your chance to redeem your sins."

"Redeem your grandma!" Du Sha opened her mouth and cursed as expected.

Although they scolded fiercely, they didn't say any nonsense about splitting up, because everyone knew that the only town closest to them was Verkhoyansk. No matter how they went, the destination was the same place, and the trend of separation was inevitable. Some people had to take a long detour, but after what happened last night, no one was willing to leave the main force and go on the road alone.

Before arriving in the small town, the people in this wooden house are probably still a community of destiny.

"All right."

The KGB lieutenant colonel who had been silent all this time spoke. He looked up and looked out of the window, "It's still early, it's not yet dawn, and we'll leave after dawn. Take the wounded and go on the road together. He can still be rescued. The five-hour journey is not enough." Long, we have a whole day, and it is not a big problem to be a stretcher to carry the wounded forward in turn."

"Okay." Vika glanced at the KGB lieutenant colonel, took a deep breath and admitted the cowardice.Behind him, Dusha was still muttering and cursing.

"Prepare your breakfast first. If you want to carry people to the town on foot, you must have sufficient energy." Lieutenant Colonel Andre turned his head away from the window, "I have a hunch that this matter will not end so easily gone."

His voice was very deep, but this time no one took his words seriously, and they all thought it was just alarmist talk.

After all, yesterday the other party brought them the fear that the blizzard might not stop for a long time, but this morning, the truth slapped them hard. No matter how serious the lieutenant colonel was, no matter how terrifying his voice was, he couldn't give them a sense of crisis. .

But there are always exceptions. For example, the huntress looked at the back of the lieutenant colonel and followed up and asked, "Are you worried about any trouble on the road?"

The lieutenant colonel glanced back at the huntress, then nodded.

Adam, who was helping Vika move the cabinet in front of the wooden door, heard their conversation and looked towards the direction of the window with some insight. The deep coniferous forest outside was still shrouded in darkness.

It was not hard for him to understand what the "trouble" the two said was - the group of devils who came with the snowstorm, they hid in the depths of the coniferous forest when they left, so are they still hiding here? Somewhere in a forest?
After receiving the reply from the lieutenant colonel, the huntress thought for a while and picked up the large glass jar on the cabinet beside her that was pushed past. When Adam saw the contents of the large glass jar, he backed up a few steps in fright and almost hit Vika's body. Sister, because it is the arctic adder that is contained in the big glass jar.

The glass jar was placed by the stove by the huntress, and by the light of the fire, she just opened the lid of the jar and fished out the poisonous snake from it with her bare hands.Even if the huntress was wearing gloves, Adam watched this process with horror. After all, if this kind of place is bitten by a poisonous snake, there is no place to find serum.

"Snakes are temperature-changing animals. Generally, they will not wake up from hibernation. Many snakes will even be eaten alive by mice during hibernation." The huntress saw Adam's twitching expression and took the time to explain.

As she said that, she pulled out the dagger next to the fur boots, and cut off the head of the arctic adder with one knife.Afterwards, she poked at the triangular head of the polar viper again, cut the skin on both sides of the triangular snake's head, behind the eyes, and above the corners of the mouth, and began to search for it.But anyone who has some experience in dealing with snakes can see that this is picking up snake venom.

There are many ways for hunters to extract snake venom, generally there are two types: dead picking and live picking.The latter method is obviously not very useful when the poisonous snakes are hibernating in winter. The former method is to kill the live snake just like a huntress, then strip the venom glands from its head and press them out with your fingers. venom.

Soon a light layer of milky white foamy liquid had accumulated in a bowl next to the stove, and the huntress put down the quiver on her back, and carefully coated each arrow head with some venom .

"Just in case." The huntress looked at the strange expressions of the others and explained, "God knows if you will encounter those things on the way back to town."

"Do you think this snake venom is useful for those things?" Adam asked curiously.

"I'd rather make a mistake than do nothing." The huntress shrugged. "Isn't it normal to resist at the corner when disaster strikes?"

Vika held the shotgun, while his younger sister was secretly afraid of the words of the huntress, and spit softly and cursed the hunter's crow's mouth.

At this time, there was also a strange movement on the other side of the kang. The huntress looked over and found that the little girl who had slept all night had finally woken up. The tightly wrapped leather jacket was drooping behind her, revealing her red face from the low temperature in the morning. With a pretty face, the little boy in her arms was still snoring, looking at the flushed cheeks, he might still be suffering from a bad cold.

"Nine o'clock sharp, we'll leave as soon as it's completely bright." Lieutenant Colonel Andre not far away looked back at the kang and gave instructions.
