After walking non-stop for six hours, the caravan found a sheltered sand dune to set up camp. At this time, the setting sun cast its last rays of light, illuminating the remaining clouds in the sky blood red, which was heart-warming.
Under the huge sand dunes, experienced businessmen formed a huge defensive circle.
This defensive circle is not to guard against horse thieves, but to guard against wolves.
Horse thieves would never dare to provoke such a large caravan. In the desert, the biggest enemy of merchants is the desert wolf. Compared with forest wolves and prairie wolves, wolves that grew up in the barren and harsh desert environment are more violent and ferocious.
It is said that hundreds of years ago, when this trade route was still in its development period, the merchants at that time had no experience in dealing with wolves. They only had a dozen wolves and dragged a caravan of a hundred people to death in the desert.
middle.
Desert wolves are not only ferocious, but also extremely cunning, and possess extraordinary patience. It is common for them to spend ten and a half days stalking their prey.
No one likes to be followed by a pack of wolves.
The best way to prevent wolves from being stalked is to let the wolves know there is no opportunity to take advantage.
A caravan of three hundred people is enough to make any wolf pack retreat.
Of course, basic defense work still needs to be done.
After settling in, Zhou Sen found some hay and horse manure around and boiled some hot water to drink.
As we go deeper into the desert, the temperature difference between day and night becomes larger and larger. The current temperature is almost like wearing a cotton-padded jacket. Being able to drink a sip of hot tea is undoubtedly a kind of enjoyment.
Everyone ate some random food, then covered themselves with blankets and leaned against the camels to sleep. The porters were tired after a long day, and soon they were snoring loudly.
Zhou Sen couldn't sleep.
Inexplicably, Zhou Sen felt restless.
Why do you feel this way?
Zhou Sen has an almost instinctive reaction to danger, and it is precisely because of this instinctive reaction that Zhou Sen has escaped death many times.
The moonlight is very bright today. The porters are sleeping, the boss is chatting, and the camels are chewing cud with their necks raised. Everything seems peaceful and peaceful.
Zhou Sen couldn't help but glance in the direction of the handsome man. There was nothing unusual over there, except for the two women standing guard.
quiet!
Zhou Sen searched every corner of the camp bit by bit with his spiritual thoughts.
not found.
Zhou Sen, who couldn't figure out the reason, didn't bother to pay attention to it, and began to use his super powers to temper his body.
The majestic strength turned into thousands of strands, and then gathered in the skin, tempering bit by bit... A strange scene changed in Zhou Sen's body, Zhou Sen's meridians became detailed, as if they were magnified
Thousands of times.
What surprised Zhou Sen was that his muscle fibers and meridians were wrapped and tempered by super powers, making them tight and elastic.
The bones have also undergone earth-shaking changes. The pure super power fills the tiny spaces inside the bones, making the bones become more solid...
…
Time passed bit by bit, and Zhou Sen was immersed in that strange world and couldn't extricate himself.
After breaking through the "Body Tempering" realm and reaching the "Flying to the Moon" realm, Zhou Sen will become a true body of steel.
In the past, Zhou Sen relied on dragon armor and his body became invulnerable. However, that was just an illusion and not really invulnerable. If he encountered a powerful superpower, his body would be destroyed from the inside.
The "Body Tempering" state is different. Not only does Zhou Sen's skin become as solid as steel, his internal organs and meridians are all in a state of primary energy.
When he was on the Xiongnu grassland, Zhou Sen's dragon armor was easily destroyed and he was seriously injured. If it were now, Zhou Sen, who had entered the "body tempering" state, would never be as vulnerable as that time.
Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
…
Suddenly, a low howl sounded in the dark desert. The sound was like a wild beast lurking in the abyss. The desert was shaking and shaking, which was inexplicably terrifying.
The camels made a commotion.
Zhou Sen suddenly opened his eyes.
The porters and merchants all woke up from their dreams, stood up, comforted the camels, and looked into the distance.
"What's that sound?" Zhou Sen asked a porter beside him in a low voice.
"It's the sound of a wolf." The porter said with a disapproving expression.
"Yes, it's the Desert Wolf." The other porter also looked relaxed.
"Is it very common?" Zhou Sen showed a hint of uneasiness on his face, and the feeling of danger was getting stronger and stronger.
"Hahahaha, Xiao Zhou, don't be afraid, there are so many of us, the desert wolf will not come."
"Look!" Zhou Sen looked up and looked at the sand dunes.
"Ah... my mother!" The porter's face suddenly changed color and he exclaimed.
On the huge sand dunes, I saw countless frozen black shadows. The black shadows formed extremely clear silhouettes under the moonlight.
Wolves!
There was a commotion among the porters. Obviously, people did not expect to encounter such a huge wolf pack. Just by visual inspection, the number of wolves exceeded 200. Moreover, there seemed to be rustling sounds coming from behind the sand dunes. .
In the desert, a pack of more than twenty wolves is extremely rare, and a pack of more than two hundred wolves is simply unheard of.
"Get weapons!" Seeing so many wolves, Zhou Sen's boss immediately panicked and quickly called everyone to prepare for battle. Immediately, the people of each cavalry team had weapons in hand and were ready to fight.
What makes people feel strange is that the wolves on the dunes do not attack, but just stand quietly on the dunes, looking down at the humans below.
There is an enforced silence throughout the desert. The wolves on the dunes are confronting the humans below, seeming to be testing each other's patience.
Faced with such a huge wolf pack, people were prepared and did not dare to relax at all.
It was a painful night.
It wasn't until dawn that the wolves disappeared quietly behind the sand dunes.
When the wolves disappeared, the people breathed a sigh of relief, ate something hastily, and then set off.
When they rounded the sand dune, what was frightening was that the more than two hundred wolves were still waiting behind the dune with eager eyes.
The next day, people were enveloped in a depressing atmosphere, because the pack of wolves followed them from beginning to end, neither attacking nor leaving, keeping a distance of several hundred feet from the caravan.
"Too bad." A porter mumbled.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Sen asked.
"We are being targeted by these wolves. Either they die or we die." The porter's eyes flickered and he kept looking back and forth.
"Why?"
"They will follow us all the time, preventing us from eating and resting normally, waiting for us to show our flaws, and then kill us." The porter said while looking around, looking a little distracted.
Zhou Sen immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
It will take at least ten more days to cross this desert. If they don't sleep in these ten days, the porters' spirits will collapse and they will die from exhaustion.
Unless, these wolves are killed!
It is easy for Zhou Sen to kill these desert wolves. However, Zhou Sen went to the Er Empire this time to find the Penglai Immortal Way. If his identity is exposed, all his previous efforts will be in vain.
Organize these people to defend against the wolves?
Zhou Sen immediately gave up the idea.
If he takes the initiative to organize it, he will soon be exposed to the public eye.
In addition, Zhou Sen had a strange feeling. He believed that this wolf pack was not an ordinary wolf pack...
Just as Zhou Sen was racking his brains to think of a solution, he found that an atmosphere of panic filled the porters, and, in the distance, some bosses gathered together, seemingly discussing something.
The atmosphere in the entire caravan became extremely tense, and almost every porter's eyes were fixed on the bosses.
There is a dangerous atmosphere brewing in the air.
It was a hot and anxious day. When the sun set, the caravan stopped early to rest. This time, the caravan found a slightly higher place to set up camp and took great pains to build a defensive line. Compared with yesterday, the defensive line was obvious.
It's much stronger.
This time, the preparations were quite complete. During the trek, I collected a lot of camel dung and some weeds and dead branches. After setting up camp, I lit countless bonfires, which formed a huge circle in the desert.
.
However, it is impossible to burn these materials overnight, and the huge wolf pack is not afraid of campfires. They will bypass the fire and attack camels and humans.
During the chat, Zhou Sen finally understood how terrifying the desert wolves were.
Many people think that climbing trees can avoid wolves, but in fact, climbing trees is useless. Even if they encounter wolves in a desert oasis, experienced businessmen will never climb trees to avoid wolves.
If it is a wolf, climbing a tree is still feasible, but with a group of wolves, climbing a tree is useless. A thick tree can be bitten by the wolves in a few minutes. Besides, climbing a tree can only hide for a while.
, the patience of wolves is notoriously terrible. Once surrounded by wolves, they will starve to death. There is no doubt that climbing a tree is the next best option.
It is impossible to escape the pursuit of wolves even through speed.
There is no way a human can outrun a wolf. When a wolf is chasing its prey, it often relies on endurance to tire it out.
When encountering a group of wolves, the wolves are not afraid of fire, which is different from a single wolf. They will stop and observe three or four meters away, then go around the fire and attack people.
The most important thing is that wolves are very good at timing and can even master human psychology. When humans lower their vigilance, they will constantly harass humans, leaving humans in a state of collapse both physically and mentally.
edge.
It is said that the desert wolves in the Er Desert know some simple tactics and know how to avoid human bows and arrows.
In fact, it is not practical to use crossbows to deal with large-scale wolves, because the distance is long and the weapons carried by some porters are extremely limited. Moreover, they are all small crossbows and their range is not far.
In addition, although some porters and bosses are equipped with crossbows, they have not received professional military training. It is difficult to shoot the desert wolf at a slight distance, and the hit rate is extremely low...
…
Zhou Sen believed that if a caravan of 300 people worked together to deal with more than 200 wolves, they would have an almost absolute chance of winning.
However, Zhou Sen ignored the human heart.
There is no doubt that this is a ragtag group. If this ragtag group deals with horse thieves and bandits, they may work together. However, facing the ferocious wolves, the merchants have no intention of fighting the wolves.
When Zhou Sen, the owner of the cavalry team, returned to the camp, all the porters gathered around him.
"How is it?" a porter asked anxiously.
"It has been discussed. Tomorrow morning, the caravan will be divided into five groups and move in five directions. We...we..." The fat boss looked gloomy.
"How are we doing?" the porters asked in unison.
"We are alone."
"Ah..." There was a commotion among the dozen porters, with panic expressions on their faces.
"I'm sorry to everyone." The boss lowered his head and did not dare to look into the eyes of the porters.
"What's going on? Why are we separated? Isn't it safer to be together?" Zhou Sen looked confused and asked a series of questions.
"Xiao Zhou, it's like this..."
Everyone told Zhou Sen the reason.
It turns out that in the Er Desert, there is an unwritten rule that if a large group of desert wolves is encountered, the caravan will disperse into several groups.
The reason for this practice is very simple, it is to gamble on luck and see who will be targeted by the wolves.
Of course, the so-called gambling on luck is actually not that simple, because when acting separately, some wealthy and powerful businessmen often go together, while some businessmen who are weak and weak are often excluded.
Desert wolves are very smart, and they usually follow less powerful caravans.
If the desert wolf is a selfish animal that preys on the weak, then humans are essentially the same. In order to preserve their strength, it is commonplace to abandon their own kind.
Zhou Sen's caravan became human bait.
Zhou Sen's caravan has a total of eleven people.
Eleven people, three crossbows, six scimitars, and a dagger in each hand.
It is undoubtedly a daydream for such a small caravan and its simple weapons to deal with more than 200 wolves.
The average number of the other four caravans reached eighty people. Even if they were followed by wolves, they would still be able to fight with their sophisticated weapons.
Of the five caravans, four will remain unscathed.
It was a torturous night. A group of porters tossed and turned and had no intention of sleeping.
The moonlight shines brightly on the desert. Under the towering sand dunes in the distance, there are huge shadows, as if countless ancient beasts are lurking in the desert, which is inexplicable.
The dead branches and feces were gradually burned out, the campfire was getting darker and darker, and the wolves began to take action.
In order not to let humans rest, the wolves began to circle around the fire, and from time to time went deep into the fire. Humans had to be on guard against attacks at all times. Occasionally, the screams of desert wolves after being shot floated in the night sky.
Creepy.
Just when a group of porters were in panic, suddenly, the handsome young man walked up to the fat boss, whispered a few words and left.
After the handsome young man left, the boss beamed with joy and told everyone that the handsome man would go with them.
This news seemed to give everyone a shot in the arm, and everyone was immediately elated.
The more people there are, the more hope of survival there will be. Moreover, the group of heroic Yintan women all carry longbows, and it is obvious at a glance that they are good at riding and shooting.
Only Zhou Sen was unhappy.
Whenever he saw the handsome young man looking at him, he would feel goosebumps all over his body.
If he left alone with a group of porters, he could kill the wolves alone without exposing his identity easily. But now, the situation seems to have changed.
The weapons carried by the handsome young men were all extremely sophisticated, and the horses they rode were all fine horses worth thousands of gold. Moreover, judging from their clothes and demeanor, they were wealthy and noble people. It was easy to travel with them. His identity will be exposed and Zhou Sen's follow-up actions will be affected.
what to do?
After thinking about it, Zhou Sen couldn't think of a way to deal with it, so he could only take it one step at a time.
Finally, it was dawn.
That night, six wolves were shot.
In fact, none of the six wolves were shot to death, but only injured. However, the wolves were so hungry that after smelling the blood, they swarmed up and cut the injured wolves into pieces.
Hungry wolves are the most terrifying wolves, because as long as they set their sights on prey, they will fight to the death...
…
After a simple breakfast, the caravan began to split up.
The handsome young man really kept his word and followed Zhou Sen's caravan.
There were sixteen handsome young people, including two men and fourteen beautiful girls.
Now, the total number of people in this cavalry team has reached twenty-seven.
Twenty-seven people.
Obviously, it is a bit mysterious to rely on twenty-seven people to fight against more than two hundred vicious desert wolves.
The fat boss hoped that the other caravans would lure the wolves away, so he stayed at the very back.
"Sir, the weather is hot, why don't you ride a horse?"
The handsome young man nodded to a girl. Immediately, the girl jumped off the horse neatly, led the horse to Zhou Sen, and looked at Zhou Sen with a smile on her face.
Seeing everyone looking at him with strange smiles on their faces, Zhou Sen could only lower his head and remain silent.
At this time, the other four cavalry teams left the camp one after another. When people left, they all had expressions of pity or gloating on their faces. In their view, this cavalry team of more than 20 people had no chance of living.
In fact, the other four cavalry teams also saw that a group of women should be good at riding and shooting. However, they did not think that a dozen women could fight against more than two hundred hungry wolves, because the total number of their arrows was only about a hundred. , that is to say, even if they hit the target with perfect accuracy, in the end, they will end up in close combat due to exhaustion of arrow feathers.
The most terrifying part of the battle with wolves is hand-to-hand combat, because compared to humans, wolves are more ferocious and fearless of death. Moreover, they are much faster, and their endurance and flexibility far exceed those of humans.
Faced with the sympathetic and gloating eyes that gradually moved away, the mood of a group of porters who had originally been joined by more than a dozen women became depressed again.
"Let's go." The handsome young man walked up to the silent Zhou Sen and whispered softly, with the utmost gentleness.
"Let's go." Zhou Sen responded angrily, rejected the woman's good horse, and walked forward first, trying to keep as far away from the handsome man as possible.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My surname is Zhang and my name is Tianyi." The handsome young man looked at Zhou Sen's loyal look with a look of love on his face, wishing he could bring Zhou Sen to his side.
Sen hugged her.
"Humph!" A cold snort sounded, filled with boundless murderous intent.
"Bold!" Hearing the cold snort, Zhang Tianyi suddenly turned his face and shouted angrily at the snoring young man behind him, his handsome features showing a cold and fierce look.
"This slave deserves to die, this slave is guilty." The young man was so frightened that he rolled off his horse and fell to the ground. He turned over and knelt on the ground, kowtowing desperately.
"Forget it, don't forget your identity, get up." Zhang Tianyi glanced at the young man coldly, and then set his eyes on Zhou Sen's strong back. His cold expression suddenly turned tender.
Like water, eyes wandering.
"Yes Yes."
The young man climbed up slowly, respectfully, but there was a fleeting look of resentment on his face.
The camel caravan was ready and began to move forward in the lonely and vast desert.
At this time, Zhou Sen's camel team was not far away from the other four camel teams. The distance was about a few miles. This distance was specially left for the wolves. It was mainly for the wolves to observe and select targets. Once they were caught,
Being selected by the wolves is tantamount to being sentenced to death.
The camel caravan moves in the established direction. In fact, even if it deviates from the established direction, it has no meaning in escaping the tracking of the wolves, because the desert wolves are the real kings of the desert.
Along the way, no porters spoke, and the atmosphere was suffocating. However, the dozen or so women looked relaxed. They even got off their horses from time to time to play and play. Occasionally, they even took out snacks from the salutes on the camels' backs to share.
It didn't feel like I was on a long journey, but rather like I was on a spring outing. The atmosphere was extremely relaxed and lively.
The porters muffled on their way and the girls laughed like silver bells from time to time, which formed a sharp contrast.
Zhou Sen could only rush on his way in a dull manner. He really didn't have the courage to chat with that handsome young man. If he hadn't been afraid of exposing his identity, he would have escaped just like he did last time at Qingyue Sand Lake.
After walking for about an hour, no one saw any trace of the desert wolf, which greatly cheered up a group of porters.
However, the good times did not last long.
After walking for another half an hour, shadows of desert wolves began to appear wandering around.
The porters immediately sighed, and even the boss looked desperate.
Obviously, they have become the targets of the Desert Wolf.
Desert wolves are extremely smart. They know that this group of camels with the smallest number of people is their prey.
However, the desert wolves did not attack immediately because of the small number of the camel team. They still patiently followed the camel team within a hundred meters. This distance was enough to render the bows and crossbows useless.
Daytime is not a good time for wolves to launch attacks. Moreover, human beings are still strong in physical strength and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
Facing the hungry wolves that kept appearing around them, a group of girls still laughed and laughed. Occasionally, some girls would push each other and push one of them in front of Zhou Sen. When they saw Zhou Sen's shy look, they all laughed and Zhang
Seeing this, Tianyi also participated in the fun, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
Only, the young man just sat quietly on the horse, with a pair of gloomy eyes flashing fiercely.
Being pestered by a group of girls, although Zhou Sen pretended to be submissive on the surface, he was actually much more comfortable than talking to Zhang Tianyi. At least, the physical contact with the girls would be pleasurable and not repulsive.
Amid the anxiety of the porters, the sun was getting darker. The blood-red sun had already dropped to the horizon, and the entire desert seemed increasingly empty and desolate.
On the road, a group of porters were extremely diligent and collected anything that could be burned. Unfortunately, the route they took had neither bushes, hay nor horse dung or camel dung. After walking for several hours, they did not collect much.
burning things.
The wishful thinking of using a bonfire to drive away wolves all night came to nothing.
It was not dark yet, so everyone found a good defensive terrain to set up camp.
In the desert, the creepy howls of wolves kept ringing out, one after another.
The porters began to make tea and eat some hot food.
At this time, it is a time of life and death. No one dares to be lazy and sloppy, even when it comes to eating, because whether it is fighting or confronting wolves, it consumes a lot of energy. If you can't eat and drink enough, you are asking for death.
road.
Amid frequent howls, the wolves moved closer and closer to the camp under the cover of night.
Zhou Sen drew out the dagger assigned to him by his boss and stood ready.
"Xiao Zhou, don't worry, they are just testing." The strong porter looked worried.
"Test?"
"Yes, temptations also take turns torturing us, leaving us unable to rest. When we are exhausted and mentally broken, they will take advantage of the situation, swarm us, and tear us into pieces." Another porter explained.
"Are they so smart?" Zhou Sen was stunned.
"Actually, they are smarter than you think. They are very good at seizing the opportunity. Like tonight, they will not attack us until tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or a few days later. By then, we have been attacking us for several days.
After several nights of no rest, they are exhausted and they will attack." The porter said.
"so smart!"
"Xiao Zhou, don't be afraid, I will protect you." Zhang Tianyi came over again, with a passionate look on his face.
"Aren't you afraid of wolves?" Zhou Sen's heart moved.
"It's just a few hundred wolves!" Zhang Tianyi showed a nonchalant expression on his face. It was obvious that he didn't care about the wolves.
"How about we eat wolf meat today?" Zhou Sen suddenly suggested.
"Young master, you want to eat wolf meat? Wolf meat is very rough, why not eat the special dried meat we brought." Zhang Tianyi was stunned.
"Anyway, you have nothing to do. Let those beauties bring two wolves and let everyone roast and eat them to satisfy their cravings." Zhou Sen encouraged.
"That's right. After all, idle time is idle time." Zhang Tianyi gave Zhou Sen a thumbs up and smiled, which was meaningful.
"That's right." Zhou Sen's scalp felt numb and he said perfunctorily.
"Girls, we are hunting two wolves. Master Zhou wants to eat wolf meat, so don't let him down!" Zhang Tianyi shouted to a group of beautiful girls.
"Yes, Master."
The two graceful girls stood up, took their long bows, jumped on the horses, and disappeared into the darkness, only to hear the sound of horse hooves getting further and further away.
A group of porters looked at each other.
The two girls were too courageous. They were surrounded by wolves, so they dared to leave the camp. They were really audacious.
Suddenly, several death screams came from the darkness.
A dense sound of horse hooves came from the darkness.
The two heroic girls rode back to the camp in high spirits. On their horses, each carried a hungry wolf that had been shot by an arrow. The blood dripped from the wolf carcass onto the gravel ground, which was shocking.
Seeing the two girls escaping easily after shooting the hungry wolf, a group of porters suddenly burst into earth-shaking cheers.
"How's it going?" Zhang Tianyi looked at Zhou Sen with a proud look on his face.
"Not bad, not bad, so awesome!" Zhou Sen praised.
Zhou Sen's admiration comes from the bottom of his heart, because he has been monitoring the two women with "quietness" from beginning to end. These two women are well-trained, not only are they extremely skilled in horse riding, but their archery skills are also remarkable.
Point, in that darkness, the prey was in a dynamic and harsh environment, but his arrows were all missed, and he was killed with one arrow. He was indeed a master of mounted archery, completely comparable to the best archers in the army.
The porters' mood became high, and they happily peeled off the wolf skin, cut the wolf meat, and grilled it on the bonfire. Soon, the air was filled with a mouth-watering aroma of meat.
Wolf meat is not delicious, but it is a delicacy for porters.
The boss was overjoyed to have such a group of experts around him, and promised that as long as he escaped this disaster, he would double the remuneration for everyone, and treat this business as a waste.
Zhang Tianyi was so considerate that he actually brought out a lot of wine from his luggage to cheer him up, and he and a group of porters shared glasses and had a great time drinking.
Zhou Sen found that in this joyful atmosphere, the only one with a gloomy face and a sinister look on his face was the young man.
Ever since Zhang Tianyi set his sights on Zhou Sen, the young man had been ignored a lot by him, almost ignoring him.
This man is trouble!
Based on Zhou Sen's experience, Zhou Sen is almost certain that this young man with a cold temperament will look for every opportunity to cause harm...
…
While Zhou Sen was thinking about it, Zhang Tianyi actually became very familiar with a group of porters, and they were all hanging around like old friends for many years.
This Zhang Tianyi is not a simple person. Although his identity is respected, he knows how to win people's hearts. I wonder what his identity is?
Ouch, ouch, ouch...
Ouch, ouch, ouch...
Ouch, ouch, ouch...
…
Suddenly, in the dark desert, a roar of filial piety resounded. This roar of filial piety was earth-shattering, as if it came from hell.
What is frightening is that when this roar of mourning sounds, almost all the wolves look up to the sky and howl, one after another, echoing each other, in this quiet desert, it makes people's spines chill and hair stand on end.
Zhou Sen found that Zhang Tianyi, who had never taken the wolves seriously, had become nervous, and the girls, as if facing a formidable enemy, took off their long bows one after another, and their blue eyes became
Incomparably solemn.
The lively atmosphere suddenly became suffocating.
"Mr. Zhou, if something happens, you have to follow me closely." Zhang Tianyi walked to Zhou Sen and lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard.
"Why?" Zhou Sen looked honest.
"We are very unlucky, this is a wolf king that has become a monster." Zhang Tianyi looked a little nervous.
"The Wolf King who became a monster?"
"Yes, there has always been a wolf demon with profound knowledge in this desert. However, the probability of his appearance is not high. He usually only appears once every few decades. Every time he appears, the wolves in the desert will
There are thousands of people surrounding it at the most, and hundreds at the least. Our sharp arrows are not enough, and the girls are no match for the wolf king..."
Wolf demon!
Zhou Sen thought of the wolf demon Battle of the Notre Dame Mountain.
Could it be that he is destined to be a wolf demon?
Kill or not?!
Now, Zhou Sen has three choices. The first is to kill the wolf demon. After the wolf demon dies, the wolves will naturally disperse. The second is to frighten the wolf demon and make him retreat. The third is to use Shen Hui
He used a clever method to bring the wolf demon under his command.
Whether it is the first or the second or the third, the identity may be exposed, because in this dark night, Zhou Sen leaving the camp will arouse everyone's suspicion.
Just take it one step at a time!
"The boss paid for me to come here. I can't abandon the boss." Zhou Sen had a loyal expression on his face.
"Halo, you are a fool... Hey... Forget it, I fell in love with you because of your kindness and loyalty... If you don't leave, I won't leave either. I want to see that wolf
What are the interests of the demon?" A trace of helplessness flashed across Zhang Tianyi's face, and then a fierce expression appeared on his face.
"..."
Hearing Zhang Tianyi's explicit confession, Zhou Sen got goosebumps all over his body. He quickly lowered his head to avoid Zhang Tianyi's fiery gaze. However, in Zhang Tianyi's eyes, Zhou Sen's "shy" actions were shy and timid.
, extremely charming (ok, this passage makes me Luo BaDao feel off-putting).
Ouch...
There was another roar of filial piety that shook the ground.
If you didn't know it was a wolf howling, you would definitely think it was the roar of a wild beast in the abyss.
What is even more heart-wrenching is that every time the wolf demon roars and the wolves howl, the sounds come and go, echoing each other, and people have the feeling of being plunged into a vast ocean of wolves.
It seems that the number of wolves is increasing.
Suddenly, Zhou Sen thought of a question.
Why would the wolf demon go to war with a group of ordinary businessmen?
Obviously, this is both unreasonable and unreasonable.
Could it be that the wolf demon is targeting him?
Immediately, Zhou Sen abandoned this unrealistic idea, because his operation was a secret operation. Shen Huimin and the others did not know his specific whereabouts. Even if the wolf demon was targeting him, it was impossible to be so sure.
Could it be...
Is it for Zhang Tianyi?
Suddenly, Zhou Sen had a feeling of enlightenment.
If the wolf demon does not want to eat human flesh, then the problem lies with Zhang Tianyi.
If it is determined that Zhang Tianyi's problem is, then it is Zhou Sen who brought undue disaster to this caravan, because Zhang Tianyi stayed because of Zhou Sen.
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Sen's mouth. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the culprit.
After figuring out the whole story, Zhou Sen became more and more entangled. Now, he was in a dilemma, because he was the cause of the incident, and he had the responsibility to protect the lives of a group of porters, but this would expose his identity...
…
When a group of porters saw that the originally relaxed girls became nervous, they immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
The mood of despair and pessimism spread among the crowd again.
This time, not only were the porters pessimistic and desperate, but also a group of heroic and confident women also had anxious looks on their faces. They all held longbows in their hands, and each one of them looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Throughout the night, the wolves kept harassing humans, making it impossible for humans to sleep.
In the middle of the night, in order to prevent humans from having time to rest, the wolves rarely came within thirty meters of humans.
Thirty meters, this distance is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous distance. Humans must tighten their nerves and be on guard, because in this short distance, the wolves can rush into the human defense circle with just one sprint and jump.
At first, the girls' superb archery skills killed several wolves, but the consumption of arrow feathers was extremely large because the wolves adopted a circular approach and gradually approached instead of facing each other, which made
The girls' shooting efficiency is greatly reduced. On average, three sharp arrows can kill a bad wolf. Sometimes, they only hurt the bad wolf.
The consequences of shooting a bad wolf are actually very serious.
After being shot, a wolf will usually be bitten and devoured by the same kind. Therefore, every time a wolf is shot and injured, the trapped beast still fights, and immediately rushes towards the human defense circle without fear of death, hoping to be able to save the human beings at the last moment of his life.
The team contributes.
This kind of sprint will consume more sharp arrows.
By the time they got to the back, the girls had very few arrow feathers left, and even if the wolves were so close, they didn't dare to shoot easily.
By dawn, humans began to sort out.
No matter how trapped you are, you must keep moving forward. If you get entangled with wolves here, there is only one way to die.
If you keep moving forward, there may be a glimmer of hope. For example, you may encounter a powerful camel caravan, wear down the willpower of the wolves, approach a human settlement, or find a more suitable place for defense at the next camping place...
…
…
The scorching sun in the desert makes people lose interest in chatting.
The camel team trekked hard in the endless desert.
Because there was no rest for a night, both the porters and the dozen or so beautiful women were exhausted physically and mentally. What was even worse was that the huge pack of wolves appeared and disappeared around the camel team from beginning to end.
Ethereal and mysterious.
In order to prevent the camels from being scattered by the wolves, the porters had to exert all their energy to control the camels, which became even more painful.
Wolves appear more and more frequently, and the porters are no longer able to collect firewood because as long as they leave the range of the camel team, they may be attacked by wolves.
Sunset.
The setting sun on the horizon illuminates the entire sky like blood, which is heart-warming.
Usually, it is the best time to travel when the sunset is shrouded and the weather is cool. However, today, the exhausted humans found a steep rock wall to set up camp before it got dark.
We stopped early because this steep rock wall is very suitable for defense. Humans only need to face the wolves in one direction.
Not far from the rock wall, there were clumps of dead bushes. Under the protection of a group of girls, the porters found some dry firewood. Now, dry firewood is life, because dry firewood can not only be eaten by humans.
Eating hot food to replenish physical strength can also effectively defend against wolves and buy some rest time for humans.
As night falls, the wolves become more and more active, and the howls one after another are frightening.
Everyone discussed that it was not an option to continue like this. Even if the wolves did not attack, humans would slowly be dragged down and exhausted.
After discussion and decision, the more than 20 people were divided into five groups, with five people in each group defending and taking turns to rest.
After the decision was made, each group was assigned three women who were good at riding and shooting, and two porters holding scimitars.
Zhou Sen volunteered to serve in the first group.
The other people, after having dinner, took the time to rest and went to bed early leaning against the rock wall. Zhou Sen, a porter, and three beautiful shooters looked at the darkness outside the campfire. In the darkness, longing black shadows swayed.
, hungry wolves kept running left and right, stirring up dust all over the sky.
The wolves seem to be deliberately harassing humans.
Zhou Sen was fighting at the edge of the defensive circle, holding a sharp scimitar and staring at the wolves in the darkness. His body exuded a faint murderous intent. He hoped that the wolves could sense his power and retreat in spite of the difficulties.
Zhou Sen's combat value is not even comparable to that of Red Bull. It is easy to scare away a few wolves. Unfortunately, in order to hide his identity, Zhou Sen cannot unleash his murderous intentions unscrupulously.
Unfortunately, the wolves did not flee because of Zhou Sen's murderous intent. Instead, they became more active and began to tentatively approach the defensive circle. The wolf's ferocious teeth could already be seen in the light of the campfire...
…
"Mr. Zhou, don't be nervous. You are using a machete. Just stand behind us." A beautiful woman with a curvy figure walked up to Zhou Sen holding a long bow and said softly in relief.
"Thank you, no need. You don't have much arrow feathers anymore. Use them sparingly. I'll be fine. Three or five wolves are still no match for me, Mr. Zhou."
"Three or five wolves are not your opponent?" the woman asked in surprise.
"Yes, I have been born with supernatural powers since I was a child." Zhou Sen showed an embarrassed expression, with a shy and honest look on his face.
"How powerful do you have?" Another woman asked curiously.
"Haha, Xiao Zhou is very strong. We can all see it. The porcelain weighing several hundred kilograms is light and weightless in his hands," a porter said with a smile.
"so smart!"
"Just be stronger..." Zhou Sen pretended to be shy.
"Master Zhou, strength is of no use against desert wolves. They are very fast, so you should be more careful." A woman kindly reminded.
"It doesn't matter, I have a long knife. As long as they dare to come close to me, I will kill them with one knife!" Zhou Sen waved the long knife in the air twice, pretending to be upright and vicious, which angered several women.
Cover your mouth and snicker.
"The strength and momentum are good, but it's a pity that there is no structure." The leading woman sighed,
"It's okay, there should be no problem in dealing with wild beasts." Zhou Sen grinned.
"A wolf is approaching!" Another porter shouted in a low voice.
Zhou Sen looked over and saw three thin, fluffy wolves approaching little by little at the intersection of firelight and darkness, with their tails between their legs. They were extremely cautious in their steps.
The movements of these three evil wolves are somewhat unusual. When other wolves harass humans, they will keep moving their bodies and will never take the initiative to get closer little by little, because such slow movements,
It will only become a target for humans.
"They are evil wolves with no status. The wolves use them to consume our arrow feathers." The leader of the woman showed a trace of solemnity on her pink face.
Everyone looked at each other,
To cum or not to cum?
If these three wolves are allowed to approach, then the defensive circle will be meaningless, and other people who are resting will have to be woken up to prepare for battle.
The three wolves cautiously approached the bonfire little by little. The orange-red flames illuminated them, and you could see the three pairs of ferocious eyes and fangs dripping with saliva.
"Let me do it!" Zhou Sen said with confidence.
"Are you sure?" The leading woman showed a trace of hesitation on her face.
"fine."
Zhou Sen held a sharp scimitar, took a few steps forward, and formed a confrontation with the three wolves that were gradually approaching.
The three hungry wolves obviously did not expect that a human would stand up and confront them face to face. The three pairs of ferocious eyes looked at the sharp scimitar in Zhou Sen's hand. Apparently, they felt Zhou Sen's power and actually showed hesitation.
The color makes me afraid to get close.
Ouch ouch ouch ouch...
Suddenly, a low howl of a wolf was heard in the distance. The sound swept along the desert and was full of endless pressure.
Hearing the low roar, the three evil wolves showed a hint of panic in their eyes and suddenly rushed toward Zhou Sen.
"ah!"
The three women exclaimed in unison. They did not expect that the three evil wolves would suddenly attack. They were caught off guard and could no longer fire their bows. They watched helplessly as the three evil wolves rushed toward Zhou Sen...
