After walking for a long time, Zhang Xiaowu saw a dead tree, which was a poplar. Poplar is one of the most common trees in the wilderness, and it is also the firewood that many people in the northern part of the country rely on for cooking. Poplars have a short growth cycle and are small.
After the sapling is planted, it can grow to the height of two people in one year and three feet in height in three years. Although the poplar tree grows quickly, the tree
It was dry but not strong. It could be used for burning firewood but not suitable for making furniture and wood. Looking at the tall poplar tree that was about to die, Zhang Xiaowu pushed it hard as if to test. Maybe the roots of the tree were not really dead, but died due to lack of water and drought in the area.
The crown of the tree was still very strong. He climbed up the tree in twos and twos, sat on a thick branch, and rested for a while.
When the wind stopped, Zhang Xiaowu thought to himself that God is blessing me. He held the sword in his arms, hung the bow and arrows on his body, twisted his cloak into a rope and tied himself to the tree trunk. He decided to sleep in the tree tonight. Maybe.
He was very sleepy, so Zhang Xiaowu was tied to a tree and fell asleep. As he fell asleep, he felt someone pulling him, and when he opened his eyes suddenly, he was shocked.
A grass wolf actually bit a corner of the cloak hanging down, hanging in the air, biting and shaking hard, trying to shake the sleeping person off the tree.
Seeing Zhang Xiaowu wake up, the grass wolves took a few steps back. The grass wolf biting the cloak didn't realize it, and still twisted its body with all its strength, biting as much as it wanted.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiaowu pulled out his sword and drew it out like lightning.
There was a flash of silver light, and the wolf's head was still biting the cloak, but its body fell to the ground in two parts.
"Ouch"
In the distance, the white wolf king howled violently. After hearing the sound, the wolves continued to take a few steps back, looking at Zhang Xiaowu with eyes filled with hatred.
Zhang Xiaowu also understood that now, he and the White Wolf King's wolf pack are fighting to the death. According to the habits of grass wolves, once they become enemies, they can only die. Zhang Xiaowu doesn't want to die, so he can only die.
It could be a pack of wolves. He looked carefully and saw that there were nineteen wolves in the pack. Apart from the wolf he killed, there should be some wolf cubs around.
Behind the White Wolf King, some half-grown wolf cubs appeared at the right time, and one of the wolf cubs had a bloody human hand in its mouth.
Manpower, people, fugitives!
These people escaped from the epidemic village, but they did not escape from the wolves. Zhang Xiaowu suddenly worried about Xiao Kai, wondering whether this one-eyed archer would encounter the wolves. Thinking of this, he silently drew out his arrows and opened his bow.
The arrow was aimed at the nearest strong grass wolf.
The arrow was like a shooting star, and the strong grass wolf suddenly fell to the ground with a howl. Zhang Xiaowu's arrow was so fast and fast that it pinned the grass wolf to the ground. The other grass wolves were immediately frightened and scattered. Seeing Zhang Xiaowu pull out the second arrow
Arrow, the White Wolf King howled, and the other grass wolves fled away one after another.
Zhang Xiaowu took the opportunity to shoot three arrows in a row, hitting two of the grass wolves. However, the vitality of the two grass wolves was much stronger than that of humans. They did not die immediately. Even though they were shot through their bodies by the arrows, they still howled and staggered and tried to escape.
Return to the White Wolf King.
The White Wolf King was furious, and his eyes looking at Zhang Xiaowu became more and more full of hatred. As the blood flowed out of their bodies, the two grass wolves staggered more and more, and fell to the ground after taking a few steps, but they still insisted on returning to the wolf
Several wolf cubs rushed out from beside the king, but were stopped by the wolf king's cry. They looked sadly at the injured grass wolf. Finally, the white wolf king suddenly rushed up like crazy and bit the grass wolf.
neck, and bit the two wolves to death in cold blood.
Zhang Xiaowu was extremely shocked. For the first time, he realized the horror of grass wolves. They are bloodthirsty, calm, united and tolerant. They did not rush to attack after discovering danger. They are natural warriors.
"Ouch"
The White Wolf King roared and turned away, leaving an old grass wolf sitting on a high place staring at Zhang Xiaowu, as if he was a sentinel. Zhang Xiaowu did not dare to jump down from the tree easily, he was worried that this was a trap set by the grass wolf.
Trap. After waiting patiently for a stick of incense, Zhang Xiaowu estimated the range in his mind, tested the hardness of the bow and arrow, and then aimed at the old wolf.
Although the old wolf was old, he was extremely cunning. When he saw that he was targeted by a bow and arrow, he immediately turned and ran away. Zhang Xiaowu knew that the old wolf would never give up on him, so he put away his arrow and continued to wait patiently. The old wolf really did not go far, and after a while, it came again
He appeared at the same place once and stared at Zhang Xiaowu carefully. As expected, he did his duty, but this time Zhang Xiaowu did not let it go.
"Whoosh"
The arrows shot out rapidly, and the old wolf dodged decisively, but was still shot in the hind leg. The old wolf fell to the ground with a howl. Zhang Xiaowu observed that there were no wolves around to come to the rescue, so he got down the tree and fled south.
However, Zhang Xiaowu underestimated the cunning of the grass wolves. They just hid and did not leave. After Zhang Xiaowu came down from the tree, under the leadership of the White Wolf King, they reappeared and surrounded him.
The grass wolf made no sound when attacking, and lowered its body when running, almost burying its body in the grass. When Zhang Xiaowu turned around, he only saw the grass moving on the ground. He realized the grass wolf's actions. But he was too late.
After returning to the tree, he continued to run forward as hard as he could, always looking for a place to rely on to avoid being attacked from both sides.
Animals running on all fours are always faster than animals running on two legs. Before Zhang Xiaowu could find a place to rely on, the wolves caught up with him first. A wolf jumped up and bit Zhang Xiaowu's neck.
Zhang Xiaowu suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground, which caught the grass wolf off guard and jumped up and over his head. When Zhang Xiaowu got up, he found that his foot was twisted. Knowing that he could not run, he drew his sword and prepared to fight to the death.
The wolves immediately rushed up, and Zhang Xiaowu raised his sword to meet him. Suddenly, his body trembled again, and everything in front of him became different. The wolves took off into the air, but seemed to be unusually slow. Flying by
The flies, the grasshoppers stirring in the grass, and the beads of sweat shaking off his forehead all seemed to be moving forward slowly.
Everything has slowed down, except myself.
He even saw the splashing tongue of the wolf closest to him slowly flicking to the left, then slowly to the right, and the grass wolf slowly flew to his side in the air.
"Poof!"
Cutting off the head of the wolf in front of him with one knife, Zhang Xiaowu dodged the danger, threw three more swords, and chopped off the heads of the three surrounding wolves. He heard the voice behind him and turned around, only to see the White Wolf King and
Several other wolves rushed up, some wanted to bite his neck, some wanted to bite his ankles, and some wanted to bite his belly.
Zhang Xiaowu ran forward, stepped on the top of a grass wolf that was about to bite his ankle, and cut the grass wolf that was biting his stomach into two pieces with a lightning-fast knife. The grass wolf that flew up and was about to bite Zhang Xiaowu's neck
The White Wolf King seemed to regret taking action too early, but it was too late. Zhang Xiaowu raised his waist knife and chopped off the White Wolf King's head.
The White Wolf King's body collided with Zhang Xiaowu's, knocking him staggering, but he immediately got up, held the knife in both hands, and advanced instead, charging back into the pack of wolves.
