[Slow Travel] Assassin System - Mingguang

Under the icy sky, the wind and snow are still raging, but all the deadly ice crystals have melted, and the howling ghosts and wolves outside the camp are still so scary, but everyone is keenly aware that the wolf who attacked the human camp is dead. There is no doubt that the group will lose.

Under the divine power of the alpha wolf, the ice crystals mixed in the wind and snow piled up on the ground to form ice flakes, which also covered the top of the felt tent. Even Nayan's big tent was no exception. An ice edge fell into the big tent from the gap, and immediately took the life of one person.

In the horror of dying at any time, the two youngest children of Darigachi burst out with extraordinary potential one after another. They released a huge power exceeding the limit with their immature bodies, which directly affected humans and wolves. As the packs fought, Alatan disturbed the pack of wolves, and Geriletu melted the ice crystals.

There is always a price to be paid for overdrawing power. Although the two young boys withdrew their grace in time, they were both in a very bad state. The older Alatan had bleeding ears and nose, and his eyes were closed tightly. Pale and sweaty, their mother stood aside anxiously and nervously, one of them gritted his teeth in silence, and the other cursed in a low voice.

At this time outside the camp, the howling of the wolves has gradually subsided. Although the wind and snow are still noisy, the voices belonging to humans are getting louder and louder. It not only conveys the dead silence brought by wolves, but also conveys the message of human superiority.

Immediately afterwards, the torch finally ignited again, illuminating Chilulian on the snowy night!

Flame is a substitute for the sun. When the blazing bright light competed for the small territory from the darkness, the door of the big tent was also lifted. Wuyun Yada rushed here under the escort. The old woman looked dignified but calm, she He ordered the two He Duns and the knights beside them: "Send all the wounded! I'll treat them right here!"

Nayan's big tent is the strongest and largest felt tent in the Lulv Company, and it has to be used for various final purposes in special times. The two He Duns are already familiar with this. They lit the brazier and moved out the felt blanket, commanding With the slaves repairing the damaged area, the layout was quickly arranged.

At the same time, Wuyun Yada hugged the two young boys for a closer inspection, and quickly came to the correct conclusion: "The children are not injured too much, so don't worry, this is a good thing, wait until they heal themselves After waking up, their respective Heavenly Graces will be greatly improved...even leap."

Having said that, the premise of ascension and leap is self-healing and awakening, which is a threshold that is not easy to cross-such a treatment plan can be described as brutal and rough, but the Tartars have always been like this when facing illness, not that they do not I am willing to treat him meticulously, but I don't have that condition at all, so I can only rely on my own strength to fight.

If the same thing happened in a southern aristocratic family, it would be inevitable to go to war, such as hiring dozens of doctors and martial artists, concocting precious nourishing medicinal materials, and using acupuncture and moxibustion to induce qi and other fancy methods... Half a year is not over.

It's a pity that this is the hinterland of the prairie, or the prairie before the cold winter, so Wuyun Yada just touched the foreheads of the two children, and stuffed a piece of candy in each of them (the old gold is expensive), and this was the end of the consultation, and then she Just rush to treat those wounded who are constantly sent to the tent, this is another heavy job.

Dari Gachi also led the knights to clean up the surrounding area of ​​the camp. Of course, the two He Duns also had to take charge of the overall situation. They couldn't be by the youngest's side all the time, and they couldn't fight for better treatment, but neither of them complained at all. Obviously, he has long been used to this kind of treatment.

...The child mortality rate of the Tartars has always been higher than that of the Southerners.

The ground in the big tent was already full of wounded people, most of them were severely frostbitten, and a small number of people were bitten by wolves. Excluding those poor people who were seriously injured and died, a large part of the remaining people had to die. Not facing amputation.

All this is already a very good situation. After all, with Wuyun Yada, people don't need to worry about the problem of infection.

The footsteps outside the big tent became more and more complicated. The men dragged the wolf carcasses back to the camp. The battle between humans and wolves was finally announced. In addition to the strength of the camp, all the knights went out in groups to wipe out the lone wolves.

Tonight, Qi Lulian was finally able to sleep soundly.

*

As soon as Alatan woke up, he fell into a dry and warm environment, and the surrounding light was very dim. He vaguely recognized that this was his father's big tent, but it was full of people's cries of pain and words, most of whom were newcomers. The bloody smell is mixed in the smoke of the flames, only the wind, snow and noise outside the tent remain unchanged, and I don’t know what’s going on now...

But in any case, the wild wolf did not break into the camp, and the green company was safe.

Alatan should have been happy, but right now his whole body seemed to be covered in hot mud, heavy, sultry and exhausted, his head felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, those bloodthirsty wolves And tyranny is constantly rolling, it seems that it will remain in his mind forever.

I'm so thirsty, I really want to drink water...

It was as if someone was calling his name, but Alatan’s ears seemed to be stuffed with a piece of cotton, and he couldn’t hear clearly. When he finally realized, he had been lifted up by his mother, and a bowl of milk was handed to his mouth. The warm liquid slipped into the throat...

But the sweet goat's milk in the past couldn't relieve the young man's thirst at all at this moment. He drank intermittently and kept coughing in a low voice. The terrible expression made He Dun panic. She put down the bowl and called for something loudly. , should be asking for help.

Alatan tugged at his mother's sleeve feebly. He wanted her not to expend such effort. The flame inside her body could not be extinguished so easily. There was always a price to be paid for overdrawing her strength. Wuyun Yada's strength was limited, and she Can't help him.

Alatan was lucky after all, because immediately after, a cold palm cupped the boy's side face, he turned his head along with this force, and looked into a pair of dark eyes with the warm light from the charcoal fire , reflected in this tranquility.

The owner of these eyes smiled comfortingly at Alatan, and then his power flowed into the boy's body, and the power belonging to the night gently suppressed the heat.

Immediately afterwards, the sense of hearing and smell finally returned to Alatan's body. He held Joelanle's arm weakly and heard the conversation between him and his mother:

"My power is too cold. It belongs to the power of the night completely. It is completely different from Wuyun Yada's treatment. It can only be used for emergency and cannot be cured for a long time..."

"No, it's enough that you can help them! My little Alatan is trembling in pain and can't even drink milk. Poor Gerilatu, he hasn't woken up yet! Yada won't help at all. As for them, they use the same method as you, can't they?"

"Sorry, this method can only be used by me. It requires a very strong power of grace, and it must be the grace of the night, so it can only be suppressed for a short time, but I want to really get out of this overdrawn state. It depends on the children's own efforts to recover."

"Oh, I'm impatient, but it's good news if the children wake up, Joelanle, I'll leave them to you first, I have to go and see the lambs, several sheep pens have been destroyed... "

……

The conversation between the two was soft and fast. He Dun put down the empty bowl, patted his youngest son's head affectionately, and then left in a hurry. Alatan leaned on his little uncle's arm obediently. They were only five years apart, but Huo Erlenle's chest was broad enough, as if he could let him draw protection and trust.

Alatan has been in poor health since he was a child, but he has never received personal care from his father. This is the first time he has been held in the arms of a father who is as strong as his father. This feeling is really good.

Perhaps for the sake of taking care of the patients, Joelanle took off the steel finger cots again, and he also rolled the dark red sleeves to the elbows, revealing the low, pale and well-knit forearms. In the dim light, this The huge contrast is so eye-catching that people can't help but feel dazed when they look at it.

Alatan raised his head, and was about to ask the teacher some questions, when he saw Geriletu, who was leaning on the other shoulder of Huo Erlanle, who was also half-embraced by him.

Aladdin: ...

Gerilatu ::)

What's more terrible is that Geriletu is playing with something in his hand. It has a ferocious curvature and a hard texture, and it exudes a soft color under the halo of yellow—it is a wolf's tooth.

Alatan was aggrieved, and said hoarsely: "Little, little uncle..."

Miao Xuan was still busy dispensing the medicine. Anyway, he had nothing to do after he was done with the wolf, so he might as well help Yada. At this time, he lowered his head when he heard the words, and immediately said, "Is it a wolf tooth? It doesn't matter." , I also left a copy for you, you successfully disturbed the wolves, of course you have a share of the wolf hunting this time."

Alatan's eyes lit up: "Are those the teeth of a wolf!"

"Yes, the wolf has a lot of teeth. I picked two better-looking ones for you. I will give you the wolf teeth after you heal. You can try to polish them yourself." Miao Xuan touched his forehead and laughed again. Said, "I feel much better now - you all did a good job this time, protecting your mother and the clan."

Alatan opened his mouth, maybe because his throat was dry, he couldn't say anything, he just stared blankly at the teacher.

Miao Xuan took it for granted that he misunderstood what he meant: "Do you want to play Spike now? Well, Geriletu, don't keep it to yourself, share it with your brother too."

The young boy lying on Miao Xuan's lap reluctantly agreed, and he handed Alatan a wolf tooth: "My uncle killed a wolf, so my uncle's canine teeth are the sharpest."

Alatan was still a little unresponsive until he took over the Spike.

It is cool to the touch, heavy and smooth, several times larger than ordinary wolf teeth, and I don't know if it is due to the power of heaven, this tooth is not the usual milky yellow, but a light silvery white with a hint of transparency. Like ice crystals that won't melt.

This is truly the most honorable trophy.

*

After whistling day and night, the wind and snow finally stopped, revealing a spotless gray dome, and the smoke rose from the human camp again, winding up into the air in the windless morning.

A column of horses walked briskly across the ground oppressed by frost and snow, and went straight into the withered forest. The cold winter crushed the branches of the trees, so the bare trees could no longer be an obstacle for the cavalry.

"It's here..." Miao Xuan reined in the horse, he was riding Baiyun today, and Youying lost his temper for some reason, spit and kicked as soon as he pulled it out the door.

Before rushing back to the camp, Miao Xuan had already cleaned the wolf's lair. He didn't spare the big wolves who possessed the grace of heaven, and of course he killed the ordinary wild wolves who took the initiative to attack him.

After successive heavy snowfalls, the wolves' lairs are now covered in silver, and almost all traces are covered under the vast snow. bones.

After finding the place, Miao Xuan turned around and said to Qi Xueba, who led the team: "I have killed all the wild wolves with heaven's grace, and there are some ordinary wild wolves, and the rest should be nothing to attack." powerful wolf."

Ba Ri listened carefully to Miao Xuan's words, and immediately understood: "In other words, there are only some old, young, sick and disabled left, so our work today will be easier... Even if some wild wolves have escaped from here, they will still be there." Will surely die in the coming winter."

This is good news. Now that there are such good conditions, Bari must complete this task perfectly. He turned around and shouted loudly to the horse team: "Brothers, let's start! Don't leave any wolf behind!"

Wolves attacked the camp, and there was no one in the Green Company who did not hate this beast. Of course, the Tartars were willing to worship wolves, and they were willing to make powerful wolves a part of their spiritual totem, but this did not stop them from hating it, let alone hindering They choose the weak to prey on the strong in the desperate situation of survival.

The horse team of the green company came here to cut the weeds and roots. They wanted to eliminate the threats hidden in the territory, so as to ensure that the children and livestock of the green company could roam safely in the wide area in the spring of the next year.

Therefore, under Bagen's call, everyone responded with a loud bang, and several cavalrymen released their hounds. These strong creatures could no longer hold back and barked at the wolf's lair eagerly.

At this point, the deep accumulation of ice and snow can no longer be a shelter for survivors. The scattered hounds and knights easily dig the snow caves and find out those hiding wild wolves, or furry cubs, or wounded and sick. Adults, or she-wolves with cubs...

They all get the same ending, but the way to death is different.

Miao Xuan did not avoid this cleanup, his movements have always been very straightforward, either directly destroying the wolf's brain, or breaking the fragile neck, Miao Xuan's movements are even stronger than the most experienced hunters in the Lulian. Be efficient - long before Miao Xuan entered the small world, he had been hunting and killing strange beasts on the surface of the original world for a living.

Perhaps aware of their inescapable fate, the wild wolves that were still hiding began to agitate. They tried to escape or resist, and soon someone cursed.

A knight who dug out of his nest was bitten by the arm of a wolf cub that was fished out. Although the immature teeth could not penetrate the flesh and blood, but he was successfully counterattacked by such a small livestock cub, it still made people angry——

The knight raised his hand high, and it took some effort to shake off the little wolf cub that was biting him tightly. Then, as if venting his anger, he raised his foot and kicked the little gray and fluffy body heavily. One time, the little wolf let out a shrill howl; the second time, the little wolf's mouth and nose overflowed with blood; the third time, the little wolf could no longer make a sound, only his limbs twitched desperately and powerlessly...

After a few moments, the little creature lost its breath, and its warm little body collapsed limply. Perhaps its internal organs had already rotted to death along with the bones and muscles.

"Hey, it's almost done!" The companion on the side frowned and stopped, "How can you spoil the skin like this, the wolf cub's skin is the softest, how can you ask someone to peel it like this?"

The knight still felt annoyed, but a depressed and apologetic smile still appeared on his simple and honest face: "Oh, I'm so sorry, I'll give you all the cubs I got next—your little son, hurry up!" He's three years old, he should have a good set of robes."

The two left talking and laughing. The small bones that rotted on the ground had lost their use value, so they naturally fell into the stomach of the hounds. There was a young boy who was staring at this little wolf motionlessly, as if he was caught in a nightmare...

The strongest wild wolves have been killed, and Huo Erlanle will accompany him, so Darigachi is very relieved to let his four sons follow the team to learn a lot, especially his two youngest two. The children——Alatan and Geriletu broke out together, which made Darigachi very proud, and he couldn't wait for them to learn more.

Alatan's grace is "pack of wolves". The old priest could not have named it more accurately. This is the power that belongs to the king. When a young boy uses this grace, he naturally becomes the "leading wolf" of the group. But it is not limited to the wolf, maybe as Alatan grows up, he can control other livestock populations, even humans...

But as a price, Alatan also needs to bear tremendous pressure, and even empathize with the controlled ethnic group, just like the current situation.

It was Miao Xuan who first noticed that something was wrong with Alatan. He pulled the kneeling child from the snow, touched his forehead, but found nothing unusual, so he asked, "Alatan, what's wrong with you?"

The little boy finally came back to his senses. He grabbed the teacher's sleeve and subconsciously begged: "Little uncle, can we stop killing wolves—no, I mean, I think—don't kill wolf cubs?"

Miao Xuan was stunned for a moment, and only then did he discover the problem. He knew that Alatan's grace was a "pack of wolves", which essentially used his own spiritual power to connect with a certain group nearby, and Alatan couldn't control the power well. Currently, this link is bidirectional.

After all, the wild wolf was Altan's first contact, so it was normal for him to have such a reaction.

Miao Xuan was thinking about how to explain it to the child, when the older brother Bagen passing by started to stare, he was still holding a half-dead wolf in his hand, and said viciously when he heard the words: "Hey, Alatan, you're right! What kind of weak words! Why do you still care about the life and death of these wolf cubs, you are not used to breastfeeding in Grandma's arms, are you afraid of such a small wild wolf?"

Miao Xuan frowned: "Bagen!"

Ba Gen retorted: "Little uncle, don't worry about this matter, my little brother doesn't look like a man at all! Let him learn a lot, so that he won't pee his pants when riding a horse to kill the enemy in the future!"

After saying that, Ba Gen immediately took action. He picked up the wolf in his hand. It was a female wolf with cubs. Its coat was clean and free of variegated colors. It was really beautiful. No wonder Ba Gen deliberately captured it alive— —Perhaps he wanted to peel off the skin and give it to his mother.

But now, this piece of material is doomed to be discarded.

"What are you afraid of? How about making such a worthless look, wolf cub—"

Bagen pulled out the dagger from his waist, and slashed open the she-wolf's stomach with a puff. The bright red blood spurted on the gray fur, which was shocking, and the severe trauma made the she-wolf struggle to the death. Bagen held on tightly. Pinching its neck, he wiped the dagger off the wolf skin nonchalantly, and put the knife back into its sheath cherishingly.

Immediately afterwards, Bagen opened the abdomen of the female wolf, reached in and groped for a while, then took out a few small meat balls together with the internal organs, and threw them on the ground: "Look, it's these little things. Son, what is there to be afraid of?!"

Miao Xuan couldn't bear it anymore: "Ba Gen! Don't torture the prey, do what you have to do, Alatan, come with me, your current state is affected by the grace of heaven."

Bagen curled his lips, but he was obedient after all. He crushed the wolf's head with his bare hands, left the body, and walked away bored; while Alatan seemed to wake up from a dream. He wanted to go with his uncle, but the snow The pool of blood on the ground firmly attracted his attention, and the red blood splashed white frost, which made him unable to move his eyes away.

He said quietly to Luomen: "Little uncle, you don't want to help Alatan again, do you? It's not necessary. Does he come to you every time he has a headache or can't figure it out?"

Miao Xuan: "Where are you from—"

"My work over there has been completed, and I'm really free now, and I'm happy to help brother!" Chao Luomen, who was passing by, immediately spread his hands to show his innocence, and then he said seriously, "Furthermore, although Ba Gen's behavior is very Rude, but he did the right thing. It only takes a few months for wolf cubs to grow up to be as fierce as adult wolves. No one knows whether they will have the grace of heaven. Since they have all made enemies, of course they must be killed as soon as possible. Lose."

"Brothers are right. Kill all the wild wolves you can find. That's the safest way." Geriletu poked his head, and he didn't know where he came from. He looked even stronger than Chaoluomen. Calmly, he even made a suggestion, "Alatan, you just go and kill one. If you kill the first one, there will be another one. There is nothing to hesitate, it's just killing wolves."

Miao Xuan: "Geriletu..."

Geriletu smiled at Miao Xuan, as if nothing had happened, but emphasized: "Little uncle, I have already killed seven of them."

Miao Xuan: ...

"Teacher, I was wrong."

Alatan finally raised his head. He stopped looking at the pool of blood of the female wolf, but said with a gloomy expression, "I shouldn't treat them as the same kind that I can sympathize with... I'm sorry, little uncle, did I make you worry?"

Facing the child's sight, Miao Xuan didn't know what to say. This is a grassland that follows the law of the jungle. If the cub of the beast is let go out of sympathy, it will be a harm to all human beings.

He was silent for a moment, and finally he could only say: "It's good if you can figure it out..."

Several cowards who hadn't gone far were also watching this scene. Seeing that the matter was resolved, they all laughed heartily. The team leader Bari strode over and waved to Miao Xuan: "Okay! Huo Erlanle , no wonder Nayan said that you are too kind to the students, you don’t need to look after them like babies, they are already considered little men, so you don’t need to preach—Alatan, this is for you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he actually threw a two- to three-month-old wolf cub out of thin air, and Alatan immediately reached out to catch it. The little furry body struggled in his hands, making a hot and coquettish moaning sound, obviously a wolf cub. living.

Alatan met the dark eyes of the wolf cub. After a few seconds, he finally made up his mind. He grabbed the wolf's tail and held it in his hand. Then he threw the little wolf high into the sky!

The Tartars believed that death without blood was the most honorable, so Alatan chose to fall to his death. He threw the little life in his hands like he had put aside his psychological burden. He watched it fall heavily on the bare ground with cold eyes. On the rock, when the black shadow fell to the ground and there was a muffled sound, the empathy for the wolves that had been troubling him seemed to have completely disappeared...

Alatan finally showed a relaxed expression, he raised his head and smiled at Miu Xuan: "Teacher, I feel much better."

Miao Xuan: "..."

Alatan turned to his little brother again, and asked excitedly, "Geriletu, let's compete! Let's see who can do the most things—I'm older than you, so the seven before you will also be counted!"

Geriletu refused: "No need, who asked you to let it go? Let's start like this. Let's go to the east. Now there is only one side that has not been searched. Can the little uncle be the referee?"

"You don't need to bother Teacher." He said quietly to Luomen, telling a ghost story, "Just go, I will watch..."

Alatan and Geriletu didn't appreciate the brother's thoughtfulness, they tacitly ignored the second brother's words, waved to Miaoxuan and then ran away one after another.

Miao Xuan looked at the back of them leaving, still a little dazed. He didn't know whether it was all the children of the Tartars like this, or the family education in Darigachi was the most special, but the children here were completely different from their peers living in a stable society. It was different, they seemed to have learned the law of survival on the grassland by their ears and eyes.

Perhaps only such a quality can bring about the [wolves devouring the sky] in the context of the world.
