Chapter 22 The mausoleum is surrounded by wolves
The mountain wind was astonishing as the gods waving a huge broom, whistling across the increasingly yellow grassland.
The wind is mixed with a fishy smell, which is the smell of a bloodthirsty beast.
On the mountainside, a hare eating grass had a slightly trembling nose, and suddenly she ran away during the summer vacation.
In front of it was a poplar forest. The tall poplar trees were like solid barriers. The hare seemed to be able to hide its figure in the eyes of the beast as long as it hid behind.
However, just as it was less than three feet away from the poplar in front of it, a little silver light appeared silently behind the tree, and then turned into a deadly lightning and shot out at the hare.
Poor rabbit just thought he was going to escape from danger, but was struck by the lightning. With a wail, he was nailed to the ground.
The thin figure turned out from behind the tree, pulled up the feathered arrow stuck on the ground with a smile, and held the dying rabbit hanging on the arrow shaft, sank into the depths of the dense forest.
After walking through the forest for about a quarter of an hour, the orange flame began to appear in the eyes of the man. He hurriedly took a few steps, quickly passed through the poplar trees, and came to the fire.
It was a ignited fire. More than twenty men of different figures sat around the ground, eating a boar with a strong meaty aroma. The man swung his hand and threw the rabbit into the open space beside the fire, and said proudly: "Brothers, I just beat a rabbit and add a meal for everyone!"
"Oh! The thin bamboo pole! Not bad!" "Not bad! Come and try this mountain pork too!"... The men shouted the nickname of the visitor and enthusiastically invited him to take his seat.
Xizhugan smiled and sat down with his legs. Then, he bowed to a strong man in the crowd and said seriously: "Brother, I have been by the forest for more than half an hour, and no one follows me. They should not have noticed us!"
The man named Big Brother nodded: "Very good, then we can stop here for the time being and discuss the next plan."
"Okay!" people responded in unison.
The man looked around and said in a low tone: "In the past few days, we have discovered a total of twenty-eight caves suspected to be tunnel entrances. After in-depth exploration, twenty-three of them have been ruled out, and the remaining five are guarded by people, so they may all tunnel entrances."
"But maybe not!" A sinister voice came from the man, a man who covered half of his face with a hood of his cloak.
"Mr. Wuchang said!" the man nodded, "The military strategy is empty, and the real one is empty. These five caves may indeed be the suspicious formation set up by Li Fuguo."
"We are a rough man and don't understand military tactics!" Xizhugan smiled and inserted into the words, "I only know that everything is heard from my elder brother now. We will do whatever the elder brother says!"
"Yes!" "Yes!" People agreed.
A guilty smile appeared on the man's face: "Everyone, Zhang just helped everyone, but everyone was willing to sacrifice their lives to help me. How could I be grateful for this..." As he said that, he stood up and bowed to everyone.
"Brother, what are you doing?" "Brother, get up!" People rushed forward and helped the man up with all their might.
"I will never thank you for your kindness!" The man bowed to everyone again, "After this matter, if you speak, Zhang will sacrifice his life to help you!"
"What's the fate?" Xi Zhugan curled his lips, "If you really thank me, I'll just treat us to a meal!"
The man was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "Okay! Big fish and big meat are enough!"
There was a generous smile on his face, but there was a surging light in his eyes.
For a moment, the laughter of people was everywhere.
"So brother, what exactly do we do?" The laughter gradually stopped, and someone reiterated the words that had been interrupted before.
So the man coughed lightly and said seriously: "Brothers, the entrance of the cave that someone guards may be a trap, but this is also the only clue we have now, so I decided to let's take a gamble!"
While speaking, the man picked up branches and outlined the nearby mountains on the ground. Five of the points were crossed by him to mark the location of the cave.
"Then we divide into five groups?" someone asked.
"No," the man shook his head, "We have a limited number of people. If we divide the troops again, the number of people in each team will be too small. Even if we discover something, it will be difficult to achieve something. So we can only take a single gamble and concentrate our strength to sneak into the entrance of the cave. That's it!"
The man's fingers stayed next to a mark: "This cave entrance is located in the middle of the hillside, with a vast belly behind the mountain, and the most likely connection is the crypt with treasures. We will sneak in from here when it is late at night!"
"Okay!" Everyone responded in unison.
But at this moment, the man's expression suddenly sterned. He snorted, held his finger in front of his mouth, and then looked vigilantly in the direction outside the forest.
But later, his expression became relieved: "I thought I was noticed, it turned out to be a few beasts!"
More than ten feet away, five ferocious wolves were approaching quietly from the gaps between the trees. Gradually, their pairs of green eyes became more and more weird in the dense night.
When ordinary people encounter such a scene, they are afraid that they will run away with their heads in their arms. But the people present just smiled and looked at the wolves, without any intention of taking action.
Those wolves came chasing the smell of hares, and they did not expect to encounter so many people. But according to their past experience, people are just two-legged sheep with no ability to resist, and their escape speed is not as fast as that of goats.
They are strange. Why don’t these people escape when they see them? Are they scared to death?
So the wolves looked at each other like humans, and then they threw their doubts behind their heads, howled, and rushed towards the crowd.
"Do it!" The man in charge moved his lips and spit out two short words.
More than a dozen cold lights flew out, including short spears, feather arrows, iron cones... and Mr. Wuchang's iron mourning stick.
The next moment, the cold light fell to the ground and wailed everywhere.
A moment ago, the evil wolf, which was like a bloodthirsty maniac, was penetrated by the deadly cold lights, and fell to the ground weakly, making a moan of death.
At this time, they are the ones that have no power to resist.
"Have you tasted wolf meat, brothers?" the leading man said with a smile.
...
"It's really not!" Everyone looked at each other. After a while of silence, the thin bamboo pole spoke first.
"Then let's try it first today!" The man strode forward, waved his hand and cut off a wolf's head.
"I, Zhang Yi, swear to the sky, if I let you down in the future, I will let my body and head be in a different place like a wolf, and I will not die well!" Zhang Yi raised his wolf's head and said with a look of fire.
