Chapter 41: Encountering Wolves at Night
Wang Zhong was also polite and said goodbye and left. After a while, the escort agency had already set out on the south road under the banner, protecting two carriages.
Wang Zhong had already finished preparations, so he stretched out his head and shouted to the carriage behind him, "Young Master, we're leaving too." Then he picked up the whip and swung it gently. After the whip sounded, he drove the carriage over and followed him.
The convoy was rushing to the road, and from time to time, a shout from the escort agency's hand came, there was the sound of horse hooves and the sound of ruts hitting the ground, and from time to time, a wolf howl came from the mountains.
The night is getting darker, and a full moon hanging high illuminates everyone's way forward. A mountain wind blows by, making people feel a hint of coolness, and they can't help but speed up their pace.
The roads became steeper and narrower, and people had to line up in long rows. The howlings of wild wolves on both sides of the mountain gradually increased, and they only continued to rise and fall.
Everyone couldn't help but take out their weapons and looked around vigilantly to prevent wild wolves from attacking.
Wang Pengyu, who was following the convoy, reached out and patted the big black wolf and said, "Da Hei, there are so many wild wolves in the hills, it's good to be a real wolf king here in the future."
The big black wolf roared at Wang Pengyu in protest, feeling that it was not enough, and then roared at the hills on both sides, "Aowu"... The sound was long, covering all the howlings of wild wolves.
After the wolf king roared, he retracted his head back to his butt with satisfaction, closed his eyes and started to sleep. Wang Pengyu pulled the reins while talking nonsense: "It turns out that Dahei doesn't like these wild wolves. He thinks they are too rustic, right? He doesn't feel fulfilled when managing, right?"
This time the big black wolf did not respond, but the howlings of the wolf on the hills on both sides disappeared. The hills at night occasionally came back with the sound of horse hooves and rubbing when the ruts hit the ground.
The sudden silence, like the darkness before dawn, may be brewing unknown dangers. The bodyguards protecting the carriages all held the steel knives in their hands, watched the surrounding winds and movements vigilantly, and were always ready to welcome the arrival of danger.
The convoy turned a hillside and a wolf howl came from the front. Because the sound source was too close, the horse walking in front was so scared that it neighed, stopped, and the four hooves were restlessly knocking on the ground.
All the grooms got out of the carriage in a hurry, kept stroking the horse's head with their hands, comforting the frightened horse. Perhaps the grooms' movements played a role. Or in the trust of humans, the horse gradually calmed down.
Liu hurriedly took some escorts and went to both sides of the carriage, took steel knives to cut off the thatched thorns on both sides of the hillsides, cleared out a large area, piled the cut thatched thorns on the periphery, and all the escorts dispersed, stood behind the piled thatched thorns, and surrounded the two escorts.
But he left the two carriages that followed behind him. Wang Zhong got off the carriage, sighed, and shouted at the carriage behind him with a steel knife: "Young Master, come the carriage in front."
Wang Pengyu also jumped out of the carriage with the big black wolf and said to the carriage room: "Master Father, you should go ahead and ride with your mother. If this is dangerous, Grandpa Wang and I can handle it more easily."
Before Wang Pengyu could finish speaking, Wang Ruhai had already lifted the curtain and walked out. After jumping out of the car, Wang Pengyu was escorted into Wang Zhong's carriage.
Wang Pengyu handed the reins in his hand to Wang Zhong and said, "Grandpa just watch the carriage." After Wang Pengyu said that, he held a steel knife and slashed at the thatched thorns on the hillside. He only went to the ramps on both sides and cleared some open spaces. He stopped and patted the big black wolf and said, "Da Hei, I'll leave it to you here."
After Wang Pengyu finished speaking, he went to the other side, holding the Blood Demon Sword, staring at the hillside, pricking his ears, listening carefully to the movements from all directions, and ready to deal with them at any time.
It was strange that the horse escorted by Liu's escort was getting closer and closer when the howls of the wolf became more and more crazy. It needed the groom's constant comfort so that he would not be frightened.
However, the two carriages and horses around Wang Pengyu looked quiet, and looked indifferent to the howling of the wolf, quietly chewing on Wang Pengyu's thatched all over the ground.
Maybe he was often scared by the howling of the big black wolf along the way, and gradually got used to the howling of the wolf. Wang Zhong thought so, but it was best to do this. When the wild wolf approached, he could do his best to deal with the wild wolf, so that he would not be too busy.
Among these people, only the big black wolf was the most calm, lying on the hillside, looking at Wang Pengyu from time to time, and then barking a few more dogs.
Wang Zhongze looked at the rear of the car vigilantly. The two men and one wolf also protected the two carriages in the middle. However, the staff was thin and there were not as many people as the escort agency in front.
When everyone was ready, a pair of green eyes had appeared in front of the convoy, which looked gloomy and terrifying under the moonlight.
These eyes kept moving towards the convoy, and in a blink of an eye, they stopped in front of the convoy. Liu Mass. Hurry up to light the thatch beside him and looked at the wolf pack in front of him with vigilance.
The originally sparse wolves were growing, and there were only densely packed up the hillside road ahead.
Humans and wolves confronted each other, but not long after, the calm was broken by a roar from the wolves.
The wolves began to run and detour to both sides of the convoy. Before too long, they surrounded the four carriages in front and behind. For a moment, these green eyes kept flashing from all directions, densely packed and made people sweat coldly on their backs.
Wang Tianjun looked at the pack of wolves around him, frowned, and sweat appeared on the palm of his hand holding the hilt.
At this time, the big black wolf had already stood up, shook the thatch on his body, and roared at the hillside.
The pack of wolves on both sides suddenly stopped restless, stared at the big black wolf beside the carriage, wonderingly did not dare to move forward.
The escort surrounding the carriage was not so lucky. With the roar of the wolf, around the periphery of the carriage, the wild wolf, which was originally half-sitting, suddenly raised its butt and rushed towards the convoy. When he arrived in front of the fire, he jumped over the fire easily, and rushed towards the people in the escort agency.
The sound of shouts and slashing and the roar of wild wolves came one after another. A wild wolf fell down, and then another wild wolf rushed into the fire. As more and more wild wolves rushed into the fire, someone finally let out a scream, and was torn into his clothes by the wild wolf and threw them to the ground.
Although the corps robbers behind him killed the wild wolf and rescued his companions, they had already lost their steel knife and were seriously injured and had no power to fight anymore.
The shadow of the wolf flashed in the fire. The wolf pack behind might be too hungry. He jumped into the fire and first ate the dead wolf on the ground, but he did not rush to attack the escorts, so he gave the escorts a little time to adjust. However, it didn't take long and a new round of attacks began.
Although the stadiumers were dancing with steel knives and were not airtight, unfortunately these wild wolves were not afraid of death and rushed over one after another.
