Chapter 365 Encountering a Wolf Pack
Chapter 365 Encountering a Wolf Pack
There are wolves howling!
That means there are wolves nearby.
Li Junyong recalled the bloodstains on the pedestrian's body.
Somewhat angry.
Who knows, maybe the wolf behind is chasing that group of people.
"Qinghan, even though the wolves haven't caught up with us yet, it's only a matter of time before they do. We might as well just go up and kill them."
"No, one or two will definitely be no problem, but obviously not. Look at those guys just now. They seemed to be people with martial arts skills, but they couldn't be dealt with?" Gu Qinghan disagreed with Li Junyong's idea. A lone wolf is easy to deal with, but a pack of wolves is different.
Moreover, Lin Zhian and his servant, Wu Mingshi and Luo Xiqing did not know any martial arts. Lin Congjing was not sure whether they knew any martial arts. The others knew some, but they did not have many weapons. How could they fight a group of wolves with bare hands?
"What we can do is to leave this forest first and go as far as possible." Gu Qinghan had no intention of confronting those wolves.
However, when Li Junyong heard the wolf howling getting closer, his face turned anxious and he could no longer sit still in the carriage. He quickly took his bow and arrow, lifted the curtain, and sat next to Gu Qinghan.
The torch hanging on the side flickered.
It had rained not long ago and there was no dry firewood in the forest, so it was impossible to use fire to drive away the wolves.
Li Junyong decided that if they caught up with him, he would fight them.
If you don't catch up, then just be well.
Gu Qinghan suddenly remembered the speed-up talisman given by Xu Yuan. He didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
"Junyong, you hold it." After giving the horse reins to Li Junyong, Gu Qinghan flipped over, climbed onto the carriage, and exchanged for a certain amount of talisman paper.
With Wu Mingshi's reminder, those who were traveling ahead and had no idea what was happening also sped up.
No one wanted to have a head-on confrontation with the wolves, and after being travelled for so many days, they really didn't have the energy to deal with them.
"Hmm?" Feng Juesheng suddenly felt that the horse was running much faster, and the torch hanging on the side was the best proof.
Directly... destroyed.
It shouldn’t be my illusion.
Fortunately, there was moonlight, otherwise how could we travel in the darkness?
"Juesheng, do you feel that the horse seems to be running much faster?" Luo Xiqing held the carriage, leaned out and asked uncertainly.
"I felt it too. This is good. No matter what, it's good to be able to leave this dangerous place." Feng Juesheng nodded and responded, no longer hesitating. Perhaps it was a critical moment and the horse sensed the threat, so it was anxious to escape.
The sound of horse hooves and wheel ruts echoed through the forest, leaving marks all over the ground.
Gu Qinghan did not come down from the roof of the carriage immediately. He held a bow and arrow in his hand, his eyes fixed on the back, and saw the shadow of a person running towards him in the deep woods, projected on the ground.
"Ouch..."
The howling of the wolves became louder and louder.
"Ouch..."
It was sent out again, and everyone's faces changed instantly.
It’s very close, right in the woods.
"What happened?" Li Junyong was shocked and looked around. Because the carriage was speeding up, the torches had been blown out.
"Don't pay attention to it. Just watch the road." Gu Qinghan said calmly.
The speed was increased, and they were away from the wolves that were chasing them, so they became less of a threat.
As for those hiding in the woods, if they pounce on him seeking death, Gu Qinghan will definitely satisfy them.
Suddenly, the grass on the side of the road shook, and a gray wolf pounced on Li Junyong's carriage, scaring Li Junyong. Fortunately, it failed to succeed, as it missed the target and rolled directly to the ground.
Gu Qinghan noticed that the wolf's pupils were red and it bit Li Junyong fiercely, trying to tear Li Junyong off the carriage.
The wolf rolled on the ground, turned over, roared, and pounced again, chasing the carriage closely.
Gu Qinghan took aim on the roof of the car and threw an arrow, hitting the leg squarely.
The whole wolf flew out and then remained motionless for a moment.
"call."
"Scared me."
"Thanks brother."
Li Junyong let out a sigh of relief, thanked Gu Qinghan, and whipped the horse faster.
It's too dangerous. We can't stay here for long.
Damn it, it was definitely that group of people who just caused trouble.
……
The sky gradually brightened.
The group ran all night and finally got rid of the wolves. The horses were still running fast, not tired at all.
The first one to discover something was wrong was Lu Zhang Mingxiu, who was running in the front. Thinking that he had been running for a long time, he kept running at a fast speed. He also thought that he had escaped from the wolf pack, so he wanted to stop and rest for a while for fear of tiring the horse.
But no matter how I pulled the reins, the horse didn't stop and kept running fast.
Zhang Mingxiu was a little panicked now, but he couldn't stop and had no way of telling the people behind him, so he quickly shouted to Lu Zishi who was resting in the carriage.
Lu Zishi, who was sleeping, was suddenly awakened by a rapid shout, and then he realized that something was wrong.
The speed is too fast, and jumping out of the car is definitely not the first choice at this time.
"Forget it. If the horse is tired, it should stop." After trying many times without success, Zhang Mingxiu calmed down.
Fortunately, the horse ran fast, otherwise the wolf would have caught up with it, which would have been terrible.
Lu Zishi thought it made sense. It was impossible that the horse wouldn't be tired. After being jolted for so long, the horse wasn't tired, but the man was. Lu Zishi yawned and closed his eyes again.
After the crisis was resolved, Li Junyong finally calmed down. He looked at the sky, which was gray. He had been frightened all night and his mind was tense. He didn't get any rest and he could no longer feel his buttocks.
He could hardly bear the shaking anymore, so he quickly tightened the reins and wanted to stop and walk for a while.
But the horse did not react and continued running. Li Junyong was a little surprised.
How can you still run after running for so long? Aren’t you tired?
"Qinghan, come down quickly and take a look. Is there something wrong with the horse? Why won't it stop?"
When Gu Qinghan heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, and rolled down from the top of the carriage.
"How is that possible? Let me try."
He took the reins from Li Junyong's hand, and with a slight thought, he tightened the reins.
The horse gradually slowed down until it stopped.
Li Junyong was stunned and wondered if it was just an illusion. Did he tighten the reins just now?
"Why are you standing there? We have stopped now, go do whatever you want."
"Why wasn't I able to do it just now? Qinghan, what did you do?" Li Junyong asked in surprise, got off the carriage, stood still and stretched his bones.
Of course Gu Qinghan knew the twists and turns involved. Since he was the one who activated the speed-up talisman, he had to remove it himself. Otherwise, the horses would have to wait until the time limit expired, which was only one day.
A horse with a speed-up talisman will not feel tired, but will become more energetic than before.
"What else can I do? Maybe this horse recognizes people." Gu Qinghan would certainly not tell Li Junyong the truth, so he just said it casually.
