The horses galloped for most of the night and gradually slowed down. Muse's whole body ached, and she felt the Tulip Duke's body behind her pressing harder and harder on her back. She called several times, but there was no reply.
Seeing that he had been running for so long and there was no sound of chasing horses' hooves behind him, Muse just stopped his horse and managed to lift Rody off the horse. She didn't have much strength to begin with, and her hands and feet were so tired that she was so weak. He didn't dare to light a fire, but used the faint moonlight to carefully check the injuries on Roddy's body.
There was nothing wrong with the sword on Rody's leg, but his upper body was covered in blood. Muse gritted his teeth, pulled open Rody's clothes, and after just one glance, he was so frightened that he couldn't help but exclaim.
I saw a bloody wound on Rody's shoulder. Under the wound, white bones were faintly visible. If Roddy hadn't dodged quickly at that time, one of his arms would have been removed long ago. Looking over the back, it was even more shocking. A long wound was half a foot long. Although the injury was serious, it fortunately did not damage the bones.
When he reached out and touched it, he felt that Rody's breathing was getting weaker and weaker. Muse felt panic in her heart. For these days, she had relied on Rody for everything. At this moment, she had just escaped with her life, but Roddy was seriously injured and fell into coma. The surrounding vast grassland was pitch black, with not even a single person in sight. There was a faint howl of wolves in the distance, and the sound frightened Muse even more.
After taking a few deep breaths, Muse took out the medicine that Rody had stolen that day from his arms, took the water bag from the horse, pulled off all of Rody's clothes, rinsed it with water, and then applied it carefully. Although her movements were gentle, they would inevitably touch Rody's pain. Although he was in a coma, he could only hear Rody groaning in pain subconsciously. His forehead was covered with cold sweat and his eyes were tightly closed.
Muse's tears fell one by one, her hands trembled, and she felt that she had never been so panicked in her life. After finally smearing all the medicine on the wound, after thinking for a moment, he took off his personal clothes, pulled them into strips, and bandaged them for Rody. She had never done anything like this before. Although the bandages were messy, after a lot of fuss, she finally wrapped Roddy's whole body.
Gently wiped the cold sweat from Rody's head and looked at the handsome pale face in front of him. Muse only felt a feeling that she had never experienced before coming into her heart. Thinking of how Roddy risked his life to protect himself during the flesh-and-blood fight just now, and how he shouted for him to leave quickly during the fierce battle in the dark, Muse couldn't help but become obsessed with thinking about it.
There was a subtle sound of grass stirring in her ears. Muse trembled and looked around nervously. This sight made her break into a cold sweat. I saw a few low shadows scattered on a small soil slope in the distance. In the dark night, a few green and cold lights were looking at me faintly.
It's a wolf! !
There were only a few whines and a few low growls, and the two wolves took a few tentative steps closer, slowly walking towards me.
Muse was so frightened that she immediately let out a scream, but the wolf was frightened by her scream. He took two steps back, arched his body, and made a whining sound.
Muse was frightened and moved Roddy to the horse with force, then got on the horse and ran away.
The horse was stolen from the herdsmen on the grassland. When it heard the howling of the wolf, it was already so frightened that it ran away.
Muse sat on the horse, holding Roddy in one hand, and looked back, only to see seven or eight wolves running wildly behind the horse. Those wolves grew up in the grasslands and were extremely bloodthirsty. Although they saw their prey escaping, they smelled the bloody smell of Rody in their noses and refused to give up.
After all, the horse Muse was riding had already been running for half the night. Two more people immediately sat on it, and its speed gradually slowed down. After running for hundreds of steps, seeing the wolves behind him getting closer and closer, Muse kicked the horse's belly with all his strength, but the horse could no longer run any faster.
Seeing a forest in front of him, Muse immediately rushed towards it. Before the horse could stop, he rolled off the horse with Rody in his arms. Seeing a short tree next to me, I grabbed the trunk with one hand and dragged Rody with the other, trying to get up.
But as a woman, she would have no problem climbing up if she was alone, but if she had another person in her hand, she couldn't get up.
The wolves behind him had already arrived, but they did not pounce for a moment. More than a dozen wolves formed a circle from a distance, surrounding Muse Roddy and the horses. Muse was extremely frightened. In fact, as long as she left Roddy and climbed the tree alone, she would be able to escape... But she held the Tulip Duke tightly in her arms and refused to let go. Muse's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and pulled out a dagger from his boot. He kept shouting and waving the dagger in his hand, trying to scare away these beasts.
Seeing that several wolves in the pack could no longer hold back and slowly pressed forward, Muse dragged Rody back step by step, holding the dagger tightly in his hand. Suddenly remembering that there was a "Fireball Magic Crystal" in his arms, Muse quickly took out a small crystal and smashed it on the ground.
With a popping sound, a ball of flame rose from beneath his feet. The wolves were so frightened that they immediately scattered and took a few steps away, but refused to leave from a distance. They just looked at Muse and Rody with a green light in their eyes.
Muse knew that the fire with a piece of crystal would fade away in a moment at most, so she just pulled Roddy back to the tree trunk. Picked up Rody.
At critical moments, people can always stimulate the potential in their bodies. Although Muse was a weak woman, in desperation, she actually pushed Rody onto a branched trunk of the short tree.
Using his hands and feet, Muse himself climbed up the tree, then grabbed Roddy tightly with one hand, and just pulled him a little higher on the trunk.
Seeing that the flame under the tree gradually dimmed, the wolves slowly gathered again. The fire got darker and darker, and finally went out. The wolves swarmed up, and several vicious wolves had already knocked down the horse. Only the horse's sad neighing was heard, and its throat was finally bitten off. Muse was so frightened that she could not help but tremble, and in her ears she could only hear the whine of wolves and the sound of horses biting under the tree. A chill ran through my bones.
More than a dozen wolves tore the horse corpse into bloody pieces, but still refused to disperse. They just looked up at the muse on the tree and howled incessantly. A few violent ones pounced on the trunk, biting and scratching. Fortunately, the tree was very strong. The wolves pounced and scratched on the trunk, but the tree only shook slightly.
Muse was so frightened that she had already cried. She felt that she had never experienced such a terrible thing in her life. She held Roddy tightly in her arms, tears streaming down her face, but she didn't know when she dropped the dagger in her hand.
The wolves were aroused by the smell of blood and refused to leave. Although they bitten and separated one of the horses, the wolves gathered together and hid more and more. They just circled around the tree uneasily and flapped endlessly.
Muse's eyes widened, not daring to relax for a moment, just looking under the tree.
The two sides have been fighting for who knows how long. The sky in the east has turned a fish belly white, and the wolves are walking around impatiently. A few strong ones jump high from time to time, but how can they catch them
Suddenly I heard a loud "whoosh" sound! A sharp arrow shot out from the forest and hit a wolf in the neck! The arrow was so powerful that it actually pinned the wolf to the ground!
Then there was a constant "whoosh" sound in my ears, and several more sharp arrows flew out! The archer was extremely accurate. His arrow hit the target, and amidst the roar of the wolves, four or five wolves were killed. The remaining wolves finally got timid, whined a few times, turned around and ran away.
Muse was pleasantly surprised. After a while, a horse slowly walked out of the woods. On the horse was a strong man, wearing a thick fur coat and a fur hat. Sitting on a horse, holding a long bow in his hand. The man rode up to the dead wolves, jumped down, looked carefully, and then picked out two wolf carcasses with shiny fur and carried them to his horse. After he finished all this, he turned around and laughed loudly at the muse on the tree: "Okay, the wolf has run away a long time ago. Come down!" The voice was loud and spoke the foreign language of the grassland of the Big Moon Kingdom.
Muse was frightened and did not answer, but the man thought Muse didn't understand, so he paused and spoke again in the common language of the Empire of Light. Seeing the unconscious Rody next to Muse, he frowned and asked, "Is your companion injured?" After that, he strode to the tree, opened his hands, and motioned to Muse to drop Roddy down first.
Muse finally breathed a sigh of relief, first slowly put Roddy down, and then climbed down from the tree.
The strong man held Roddy and slowly laid him on the ground. He looked up at Muse again and saw Muse's unusually beautiful face. He was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Who are you? Why did you come here at night? Come?"
Muse hesitated, but didn't know how to answer. The strong man waved his hand and said calmly: "If you don't want to say it, forget it. But wolves have been infested here recently, and many people have moved away. Fortunately, I came here to get some wolf skins in exchange for money, otherwise you two would probably be alive." No more!”
Muse frowned: "We have been hiding in the tree for a long time, why don't the wolves run away?" He was speaking the language of the Empire of Light.
The man smiled and said first: "So you are from the Empire of Light." Pretending not to see Muse's blushing face, he continued: "The wolves on the grassland are the most cunning and greedy. They see their prey right in front of them. , they will never give up. Even if you hide in the tree for a day or two, they will not leave, and most of them will pretend to disperse and wait for you to come down. "
Muse thought for a while, sighed, and whispered: "Thank you very much." He glanced at Roddy on the ground and hesitated whether to ask for help.
When the strong man saw the expression on her face, he had already guessed it. He smiled and said: "Your friend seems to be seriously injured. My tent is not far away. Why don't you go back with me first? I'm here." There are also herbs that you prepare yourself.”
The strong man took another look at the horse carcass on the ground that had been bitten to pieces by the wolves long ago, and said with a smile: "It's just that your horses are gone. I can't carry three people on one horse." After saying that, he was so big He walked up to his horse, pulled the dead wolf off the horse and threw it to the ground. The prey he had hunted all night long was thrown away casually without frowning, and his words and demeanor were quite heroic.
Immediately, Muse was asked to hold Roddy on the horse, and the strong man led the horse on foot, and the three of them left together.
