Cute Beast Food Garden

Qi Yan was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe, his mind went blank.What's going on here... These beasts, these wolves, actually have such an amazing IQ, adopt teamwork and decoy tactics, and even the one in front of them has learned to walk upright and change its skin for camouflage!

This is simply not something that ordinary animals can do!Could it be that these wolves have become spirits?Or is it a mountain ghost?

However, for the time being, it doesn't matter whether these things are wolves or wolf spirits.The first thing they have to do now is to rescue Ah Cai and escape from here.

Before chasing him, the man took off his cloth bag, and only carried one weapon—a blade.

In Qi Yan's field of vision, including the "pretend wolf" standing upright in front of him, he saw a total of seven wolves.Although the other party was silently stalemate, Qi Yan could see that the positions of these wolves were not arbitrary, but ulterior motives.

Two of the largest wolves stood at the farthest distance, observing the movement here intently; two smaller wolves stood on both sides of Ah Cai, with a light and agile figure, obviously fast attacking players; Standing on a higher place near the cliff, one left and one right, bowed nervously, ready to jump down from above at any time and attack from a high place.

Even if Qi Yan is as smart as Qi Yan, his mind is almost blank under this situation.It was hard for him to imagine that he even survived the most difficult time of rafting on the river, and that he would be surrounded by wolves designed by the wolves on the seemingly easiest and safest return journey in the mountains, and he was about to die in the mouth of wolves.

It was indeed their carelessness to chase after them rashly this time.The newborn calf who entered the mountain for the first time only saw the rich side of the mountain, but relaxed his vigilance and ignored the key point-nature is full of potential dangers all the time.

These wolves were both in disguise and in ambush, and it looked like they had come prepared.Maybe when the men and his party were happily picking nuts, these sinister and weird guys were already following them, planning a countermeasure to ambush them, and making sufficient preparations for this hunt.

But even so, Si Dongmo still did not choose to give up.Although his personality is gentle and dull on weekdays, he is not easy to admit defeat in his bones, and there is a faint fighting spirit and stubbornness.

"Xiao Hong," Qi Yan heard him whisper, "I have matches in my pocket. Later, escape and help me find a fire."

Wild animals are afraid of fire, and wolves are no exception.With the torch, at least they won't approach rashly.

Wolves are unusually cautious creatures.Generally speaking, they will not attack easily until they see through the opponent's details, and if the prey panics, they will immediately rush up.

Despite the fear, despite the bleak hope of survival, Qi Yan did what he said without hesitation.The small body nimbly got into the man's clothes, stretched out his wings, took out two matches from his pocket, and then slid towards the ground quietly.He tried to minimize the range of movements, and did all this quietly, so as not to startle the snakes and stimulate the wolves.

Although his strength was too small to be worth mentioning, even in the most dangerous moment, he still chose to believe in Si Dongmo's ability.Since Si Dongmo is still fighting, Qi Yan will not collapse on the ground waiting to die.

At the very least, the two of them have to exchange their lives for the other, and take the two of them to accompany him to hell!

In the blink of an eye, the two little wolves were the first to move out.As fast as lightning, he attacked Si Dongmo from left to right.The other wolves chose to sit still—maybe they were testing, or maybe they felt that a human in front of them didn't need to be attacked by all of them to be wiped out.

And Si Dongmo's advantage lies in the moment when the enemy is probing and watching.

The blade in his hand fluttered, and at the moment when the two little wolves rushed in front of him, Si Dongmo slashed twice in the air, piercing the neck of the left wolf with one knife, and cutting off the eye of the right wolf with the other.Two bloody lights flashed, and the raiding enemy had already fallen to the ground, howling.

Taking advantage of this first confrontation, Qi Yan slid down from the man's back and ran forward like crazy.

Fire, fire, fire.

Jumping into the grass, Qi Yan quickly rubbed against the matches and plants, whatever he wanted - race against time, as long as there is a glimmer of fire, there is hope for the lives of both of them!

While he was rubbing the matches with his wings and igniting the trees, the wolves, who were unable to hit once, launched a second wave of attack and were wrestling with the man on the spot.

"Clap clap clap..."

Holding the lit branch, the little bird ran over anxiously.Seeing a group of flaming birds holding up a group of flames, rushing towards this direction without any hesitation, the wolves backed away warily.

Qi Yan was worrying about how to pass the torch, but saw the man hooked his foot back, kicked the torch off the ground, grabbed it in his left hand, and continued to hold the bloody blade in his right hand, carefully confronting the wolves.

However, just before he was distracted to hold the torch, the two wolves standing on the high ground saw this last chance to approach and swooped down.

Seeing two groups of black shadows attacking from above, Qi Yan was so nervous that he even stopped breathing at this moment.But Si Dongmo was unusually calm, seeing the subtle speed difference between the two wolves, and took a step back to open up the braking space.

When the wolf on the left fell to the ground first, the man struck out swiftly and cut its face with a backhand knife, forcing it to pause; Dare to approach.

At the critical moment, only a few piercing "swish" sounds were heard, and several arrows flew through the air from behind the man.

One of the arrows hit the wolf on the right between the eyebrows, and immediately blood spattered, knocking it to the ground; the three standing at the end saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately left their dead and wounded companions, howling a few times Voice.They fled down the cliff one after another in a panic, and soon disappeared.

"Brother Mo! Ah Cai!"

A familiar voice came from the bushes.It was Ah Jin and Le Bo, father and son, carrying bows and arrows, hurrying over from the rear.After turning over the bushes and stepping forward, they saw the wolf corpse lying on the ground, and A Cai who was lying face down and motionless.

Ah Jin hurried forward to check on Ah Cai's condition.Le Bo looked at Si Dongmo's whole body: "Dong Mo, are you alright?"

The man shook his head lightly: "It's okay, I'm not hurt. Thank you Uncle Lo for coming to rescue us."

Only now did Si Dongmo take a breath, and beads of sweat trickled down from his forehead.Qi Yan stood on the ground and looked up, only to see that the clothes on the man's body were soaked with sweat.Just now, Si Dongmo did manage to stay calm, but after a tense confrontation, he finally relaxed, his face turned pale.

Ah Jin carried the unconscious boy on his back, and said nervously: "It's not safe here, let's get out of the mountain quickly."

The man put the little bird on his shoulder again, and gently comforted him.The little bird pecked his fingers wearily, then sat down and took a few breaths.

I was really scared to death just now!

People didn't say much, and rushed forward all the way.After making seven bends and eight turns on the mountain road, he finally returned to the right way out of the mountain.There, another son of Le Bo, A Sheng, was in charge of guarding the luggage and the donkey cart they left behind. He squatted behind the cart, holding a simple black bow and crossbow in his hand, and watched his surroundings vigilantly. movement.

After several people assembled, they immediately counted their belongings.The weird encounter with a wolf just now cheered up everyone, and they dared not rest, so they could only walk out of the mountain without stopping.

Si Dongmo asked: "How is Ah Cai?"

Ah Jin replied: "Fortunately, he is still alive. After arriving in the village, I will boil some herbs for him." He sighed and said: "You are the first time to enter the mountain, there are many rules that you don't know. Lord of the mountain god, he will give him Our inexhaustible good things can also change their minds and eat people into their stomachs, so that there is no leftover leftovers!"

Seeing the man and the bird listening intently, Ah Jin added: "Think about it, as long as you find the right way, anyone can pick a big bag of these fruits, medicinal materials, etc. But why go to the mountains to collect goods? There are so few people, and the mountain products are so expensive? It is because there are all kinds of strange things in this mountain, not to mention wolves, even unknown gods and ghosts have been seen.

The business of mountain goods is not difficult, but dangerous!Few can really do it for many years.Many people have put their lives on this mountain, and some don't even know how they died! "

Si Dongmo hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "That wolf...what's going on?"

Lobo on the side spoke: "We just met a small pack of wolves with only a few wolves, which is considered lucky. Generally, there are tens or hundreds of wolves. However, even if there are not many wolves in this pack, Even if you are a wolf, you must not take it lightly. There is often a battle for the throne among the big wolf packs, and the wolf that loses the throne will be forced to leave the wolf pack.

In order to survive, these wandering wolves will gather in small groups to hunt together.They all have the strength to compete with the wolf king, they are extremely ferocious and scheming, and they are not easy to mess with if they are picked out casually! "

He glanced at the dying boy on his back: "Before entering the mountain, Ah Cai kept talking about grabbing ginseng and selling it back, but just before leaving the mountain, he saw the 'ginseng doll'. This is not a coincidence, but his wish It was discovered by the painted wolf and used."

"Painted wolf?"

"Yes, the wolf that pretended to be a ginseng doll and stood on two legs just now is a painted wolf." Loeb said in a low voice, "That kind of wolf is actually a kind of spirit beast. It can understand human language and understand human nature. , reading people's hearts, extremely rare."

Recalling that the painted wolf stood on two legs like a human, paced with its hands behind its back, and opened its mouth to show a sinister and weird smile, the bird above the man's head couldn't help shivering.Unexpectedly, his intuition turned out to be true, and that strange wolf was indeed not ordinary.

"The painted wolf is very good at camouflage. It often wears a piece of skin, and can pretend to be all kinds of strange beasts, trees, and even... people."

Si Dongmo asked in surprise, "Pretending to be a human?"

Le Bo nodded: "Yes. It is said that there used to be hunters in our village who went hunting in the mountains and stayed overnight in wooden houses in the mountains. At night, they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. The hunter got up and opened the door, and saw What a fair and tender girl! The girl said that she was lost in the mountains and asked to rest in the hunter's cabin for the night.

The hunter thought it was a ghost knocking on the door in the middle of the night, and he didn't dare to let the girl in, but then he found that the girl had a shadow, and she was still breathing hot air in the winter, so he temporarily dismissed this idea and believed that she was really human. , let her into the house. "

"Guji!" Qi Yan couldn't help but screamed.Then what?

Loeb looked at the little bird, and then said: "When the hunter returned to the house to get water for the girl, the moment he turned around, the girl suddenly 'turned' into a wolf, and jumped on him from behind. He fell to the ground and bit his throat from the front..."

Qi Yan took a sharp breath.

Loeb swallowed, and found that the people around him were listening to him with breathless concentration, so he whispered again:

"The more mysterious things are not over yet. Ever since the story of 'wolf turned into a girl' spread in the village, when the hunters and hunters spent the night in the woods, they all grew up careful not to open the door to strangers easily.

A few months later, two more hunters spent the night in a mountain hut.They heard bang bang knocking on the door again in the middle of the night, so they took bows and arrows and hunting knives and stood behind the door, ready to shoot at any time.

After a while, the knock on the door disappeared.One of the hunters bravely opened the door, but found nothing outside. ——The wolf had predicted their actions long ago, and ran away before opening the door!

The two hunters were relieved to find that the wolf was not there, but they went outside to take a look just in case.They found nothing on the grass, leaving only a series of footprints of wolves..."

People were quiet for a while.Suddenly, Si Dongmo frowned and said, "Uncle Le, you mean, 'the footprints of a wolf'? That means..."

Le Bo said indifferently: "Yes, there is only a line of wolf footprints on the ground that walked from a distance to the front of the house, but there is no trace of turning back. This shows that the wolf has come, but it has not left..."
