Lord Helanza

When it snowed, the snow grits fell on the ground and melted quickly, and a thin layer of ice formed on the ground. The snow that fell behind did not continue to melt. There is a thick layer on the ground, so the road within the valley is very difficult to walk.

The road between the valleys is completely covered by heavy snow, and he can only walk through the seemingly flat snow with one deep foot and one shallow foot. He doesn't even dare to step on the flat snow, but can only look for dry grass. Stepping into the place where the leaf is exposed, this kind of place can at least ensure that the body will not completely sink into it, leaving only a string of footprints.

Surdak’s arrow technique is terrible, but to catch pheasants on a snowy day, bows and arrows are simply not needed. Experienced hunters only need to drive away the pheasants in the snow for food and wait for them to fly tired. When you are hungry again, you will plunge into the snow urn. At this time, the hunter will take the opportunity to walk over and pull the pheasant out of the snow pit like a carrot. The harvest should not be too easy.

So it didn't take long for Surdak's waist to hang a bunch of flower-tailed pheasants.

He carried the woman Swordsman who had fallen into a coma on his back, and he looked very bloated from a distance.

He also holds a wooden stick in his hand to avoid falling down while walking. A burst of white water vapor will be sprayed from his nostrils every time he breathes. Each step seems to require twice his strength, each step It’s so much easier to go. Surdak cursed Old Thief Heaven in his heart. It happened that it was snowing at this time, so he would really be in a hurry. I don’t know if Karl received such news, would he send someone to look around for him. .

Two white-rumped deer ran out of the forest. Their light bodies were jumping back and forth in the snow. They only found Surdak within the valley, and blinked those innocent eyes continuously. Ah blink, it seems a little curious about this guest within the valley. They even walked several hundred meters behind Surdak, gradually losing interest in Surdak, and then jumped into the pine forest within the valley.

Surdak was not ready to hunt these two white-rumped deer. In the sky, there were a few birds that kept circling above the valley. At first, Surdak was worried that it was the kind of night harrier that Dark Red Knight used to be around, so he stopped. The footsteps did not continue to move forward. Instead, they dived into the woods and found that the birds had not left. They continued to hover over the valley until a plump gray guinea pig appeared in the snow of the valley. The ground was awkwardly planing plant roots, and those few birds swooped down from high altitude like bombers, scrambling to kill the gray guinea pig in the snow.

Seeing those birds that hunt squirrels is just the most common short-beaked eagle, Surdak lightly sighed in relief, this kind of bird is greedy, cunning and treacherous, difficult to domesticate, It shouldn't be black magic The detective sent by the monastery.

Although he thought this way, he did not get out of the woodland. With the cover of the red pine forest, Surdak proceeded cautiously all the way. After he was going out of the valley, he found a higher place. Observe again where he is going, but before his hanging heart falls down, he feels a faint and whispering sound from the depths of the pine forest. Before he becomes vigilant, a few forest gray wolves start from A bush in the depths of the pine forest came out of it. These few forest gray wolves still have some unknown animal fluff hanging from their mouths. At this moment, they are staring greedily at the pheasants behind Surdak and sending out from their throats. gu gu's voice.

Seeing their skinny bodies and shriveled abdomen, Surdak knew it was difficult to get rid of them. They are a group of hungry wolves who don't know how long they have been hungry.

Although I can’t figure out how they mixed up like this, they hardly have too many natural enemies in the forest. Brown bears and tigers, which are more powerful than them, don’t like to eat the sour meat of Timberwolves. After they die , Only the carrion birds in the sky will treat them as delicious food, so the enemy of these forest gray wolves is only themselves, maybe they have just migrated from resource-poor areas.

Seeing the Timberwolves chasing behind, Surdak drew close to him continuously, and drew out the alloy bow he carried with him from the magic pocket. The standard hunting bow issued by the army is actually very powerful. , The shooting range is far longer than other hunting bows. He hides behind a pine tree, only waiting for the forest gray wolves to slowly approach until they are only twenty steps away from him, so that he can aim at the strongest wolves in the pack. The head wolf shot an arrow.

Surdak's arrow technique is average, but it can at least not miss the target within a distance of 20 meters. The feather arrow almost turns into a white glow in the air. Obviously the speed has reached the extreme,'swish' With a sound, the feather arrow flew over a distance of more than 20 meters, deeply passed through the waist and abdomen of the wolf, and nailed it firmly to a pine tree.

The Timberwolf uttered a whine of'whispering' in its mouth, but couldn't get rid of the barbed feather arrow no matter what.

When the other Timberwolves saw the wolf being hunted and killed, they quickly ran away and disappeared into the pine forest in a blink of an eye.

Surdak lightly sighed in relief, stepped away beside the wolf, it was nailed to the tree by a feather arrow, and still issued a low roar to warn Surdak. Naturally, Surdak would not care about the Timberwolves. In a counterattack before he died, he stabbed the Timberwolves to death with the Knight long sword in his hand. The fur of this gray wolf was as dry as grass, and it was very pierced. Simply no leather shop was willing to buy this inferior wolf. Skin, Surdak was not in the mood to peel off its skin and take it away.

Surdak also thought that if Linna and Nedra were there, maybe this wolf is a good teaching prop. They shouldn't be mind skinning the wolf.

However, after Surdak continued to move forward out of several hundred meters, a group of Timberwolves appeared again in the pine forest. The gray wolves that appeared this time were not as few as before, but there were thirty. Many, they came from three directions in the forest, probably because they were afraid of Surdak and didn't dare to get too close, but they always followed behind. Surdak walked forward, and they followed silently, as if It was to wait for Surdak to relax his vigilance, and immediately rushed to tear him to pieces.

Two hours later, Surdak couldn’t help but feel a headache when seeing more and more Timberwolves behind him. These Timberwolves have gradually expanded from the first few to forty-fifty only, and they They all showed extraordinary endurance, but they followed Surdak and were unhurried at all.

Surdak tried to drop the pheasants, make them into traps, lure the Timberwolves to grab food, and then take the opportunity to hunt them down.

There are a few extremely hungry Timberwolves who couldn’t help this temptation. Seeing the pheasant hanging in the air, they rushed up like crazy. Several hungry wolves competed for the pheasant at the same time, Surdak Killed a few Timberwolves with alloy bows, but found that their situation did not improve at all. It was not those Timberwolves fierce and unafraid of death, but more Timberwolves emerged from the pine forest.

They seem to know Surdak not to be trifled with, and they dare not get too close, but they have followed closely. The group of Timberwolves followed Surdak for a whole day like this, and did not leave until dark.

At noon, Surdak made a pheasant on a fire in the pine forest. This time he didn’t have the luxury of roasting chicken with the magic flame on the magic scroll, but used the “fire-gathering technique”. 'The magic scroll ignited some pine hairs and pine towers, set up a bonfire in the woods, and directly roasted the peeled pheasant carefully, half of it was delivered to her stomach, and the other was given to Dassy Christie who had just woke up. .

After a small pheasant is cooked, it is not enough to fill the stomachs of two adults. But Surdak did not grill a second one. Since the group of Timberwolves followed, Surdak has not encountered any prey along the way. He still doesn’t know how long it will take to get out of this mountain forest to see how unscrupulous Timberwolves look like. , Probably it should be far away from Helanza city, at least this mountain forest is uninhabited.

I don’t know how long it will take to hunt for food again. If you don’t want to eat these sour wolf meat, Surdak must carefully plan the existing food.

Daxi Christie woke up this time and became quiet. She lay obediently on Surdak’s back and naturally saw the wolves following behind. She did not forcefully ask Surdak to She put it down, probably too hungry, and never refused the food Surdak handed over.

She was still in poor condition. In the afternoon, Surdak carried her and continued walking along the valley, and she fell asleep again groggy.

When it was about to get dark, Surdak found a crack beside the rock wall. There is no roof in this crack, but a crack between the rock walls. The advantage is that the exit is narrow. If the exit is blocked If you live, it will form a safe place. It's just that cold wind is continuously pouring in from the top of the crack, and there are even a series of lance-like ice skates hanging above the crack. It's a bit dangerous no matter how you look at it.

Surdak set up a tent in this stone crevice, put Darcy Christie in the tent, made some pine branches, and set up a bonfire at the stone crevice, and then he sat At the entrance of the tent, I rummaged in and out of my magic pocket and the black magician's pocket, and found out what can be eaten. All in all, there are only three flower-tailed pheasants, a rabbit, three packs of marching rations and arms. It was a rough piece of white bread. Obviously, the black magician was not a traveler who often went out, nor did he have the habit of preparing rations with him.

Surdak thought that he should save a little bit, but he didn't care too much. At worst, he would eat these Timberwolves. Although the meat is a bit sour and really hungry, who would care about them.

Looking at Surdak sitting in the entrance of the tent looking for food, Dassy Christie also realized the difficult situation of the two at present, lost in this mountain forest, and was stared at by a group of Timberwolves. , It seemed that they could not hunt for other food. These should be all they could eat in front of Surdak. Looking at this pitiful little food, Darcy Christie was a little worried.

For dinner, two people share a roast chicken, but this time Surdak also cooked half of the marching ration. This kind of wheat flour with salt and meat powder can be boiled into a paste-like porridge. Although these marching rations are definitely the most difficult thing to swallow in normal times, the two of them now eat these foods in a tacit understanding.

After dinner, Darcy Christie, who drank some hot porridge, sweated a little, and her body improved a lot. She was wrapped in a sleeping bag, curled up and sat at the door of the tent, although from beginning to end Did not say "thank you" to Surdak, but at least the hostile look in his eyes had disappeared.

The blonde hair was wet and dry, and after repeated drying and wetting several times, she was very embarrassed and stuck it on Darcy Christie's head. Her face was still a little sallow, except for her stubbornness. The pride of aristocratic status, her face is a typical Helanza, her cheeks are a bit long, she is also secretly looking at Surdak's profile under the campfire.

Night fell, and a pair of green and greedy eyes appeared in the pine forest not far away. The Timberwolves were a little afraid of the flames, but they still did not leave.

Dassy Christie finally said to Surdak who was sitting by the fire after brewing for a long time: "You can rest for a while. I slept for so long, and now I can’t sleep. Let’s watch here. The bonfire, these forest gray wolves will not leave easily, they fear fire, and as long as the bonfire is not extinguished, they will not rush up."

Surdak looked at Darcy with a surprised look, and said: "I thought you would keep silent..."

Seeing that Darcy Christie didn’t want to talk to him anymore, she said hurriedly: "Okay! Then I’ll go to bed, and call me if you’re sleepy. , Don’t look out the fire!" Surdak was also very simple. After speaking, he piled the prepared pine branches to the side of Qian Christie, and then got into the tent and fell asleep.

Surdak soon fell asleep, Dassy Christie looked away from the dagger tied to her leg, looked towards somewhere else, she never thought that she would have such an embarrassing day, she was obviously sick In a fragile situation, but they still have to take the initiative to propose a night watch. The young Knights who surrounded him before can't count on them at this time. They obviously hate the man lying in the tent, but they have to send someone under the fence. The embarrassment made Da Qian feel inexplicably embarrassed.

Perhaps because she has been sweating, her body is a little slimy, which is definitely the most unbearable for Dassy Christie who has a little bit of cleanliness.

Seeing the iron pan cooking gruel next to the campfire, she had a bold idea. She wanted to use the iron pan to melt some of the snow water. After it heated up, she secretly wiped her body, but she acted. But I found that the idea is simple, and the operation is not easy. I need to continuously add new snow to the iron pot, and the amount of snow water is still not much.

She was tired of sweating, was blown by the cold wind, and had two consecutive cold wars all over her body. She added some pine branches to the bonfire again, and then entered quietly waiting for the snow in the iron pan It was hot, and when the mountain wind blew through the cracks in the rock, it made a strange sound of'hu hu' at night, and it was terrifying quiet outside, and even the forest gray wolves disappeared.

Dassy Christie couldn't help but yawned. She stared at the jumping firelight in front of her a little groggyly, her sleepiness surged, and she fell asleep again.

Only the last few embers of the bonfire are left, waiting for the group of gray wolves in the pine forest to sneak up...
