With the help of escape skills, Machida Ryuuji finally got rid of the pursuit of the Wolf Fang behind him, but he also knew very well that this was only temporary. The Wolf Fang behind him had tracking skills beyond ordinary people. They had been separated by at least dozens of miles before, and It was still such a blizzard, but we were still able to catch up, even more so now.
Because now the distance between the two of them is only five to six hundred meters.
At such a close range, that damn Wolf Fang can catch up in a matter of minutes.
Therefore, after temporarily getting rid of the wolf fang, Machida Ryuuji never dared to stop for a moment. He chose a direction and ran forward, running for several kilometers, and even changed two different directions in the middle. When changing directions, Ninjutsu was used as much as possible to hide the traces and aura.
Then, Machida Ryuji finally dared to stop and bandage the wound on his right rib.
The large backpack containing supplies was usually carried by war horses, but it had been lost together with the war horses and tents. Machida Ryuuji also wanted to go back and retrieve the backpack, but after careful consideration, he gave up the idea because it was too difficult to do so. It's a risk, what if that wolf fang is ambushing there? Isn’t this just throwing yourself into a trap
Fortunately, he also carried a small backpack with a first aid kit inside.
I opened the first aid kit, braved the biting cold wind and blizzard and took off my military uniform, only to find that it was soaked in blood.
I saw a three-inch long wound opened by a sharp blade in the middle of his right rib. Fortunately, it was not deep enough, otherwise it would be fatal. However, even so, he could not stop because he had been running at high intensity. He came down to take a breath, so the blood seeping from the wound had stained his inner clothes red, and even the outer woolen military uniform had been soaked.
After cleaning the wound, sprinkle sulfonamide powder on it, and then quickly wrap it with gauze.
After hastily bandaging, Machida Ryuuji began to escape again. This time, he no longer changed directions, nor did he deliberately hide his appearance or breath, because he understood that for a true tracking master, his ninjutsu was only It can buy a little bit of time, but it is impossible to completely get rid of the opponent's tracking.
Moreover, there is a price for using ninjutsu, which will greatly consume his physical strength.
Therefore, there is no need to waste any energy on performing any ninjutsu, just run forward at full speed for your life.
Of course, this does not mean that we should not use ninjutsu at all, but that we should use ninjutsu in key places!
However, escaping in such a blizzard is really hard, and it tests one's mental will. The loneliness and desolation of you alone in the wind and rain can really make people go crazy, and they ran for almost 20 kilometers. , Machida Ryuji's physical strength has reached its limit, he is hungry!
You have to eat something, otherwise you won't be able to run!
However, the packs of biscuits in the backpack had been eaten long ago and there was no food left.
Moreover, the storm got even worse, showing no signs of stopping.
To make matters worse, it was getting dark, and the visibility on the snowfield was even worse.
Machida Ryuji seemed to be forced into a desperate situation at once, and his living situation was worrying.
The only good thing is that he has dragged the Wolf Ya behind him for at least twenty miles. Although there is no very clear evidence, Machida Ryuji has such confidence. After all, he only needs to keep his head down and run forward, and the Wolf Ya behind him While tracking, you also need to stop frequently to identify the direction to avoid chasing in the wrong direction.
The current situation is very bad, but Machida Ryuji has not messed up.
Grab a handful of snow and stuff it into your mouth, letting the snow water slowly melt and flow into your throat. The burning feeling in your throat is finally better, but your stomach is getting hungrier, and you are screaming! He was indeed very hungry, but Machida Ryuuji's consciousness became clearer than ever before. Then he turned over and lay down on the snow, and began to listen.
After a moment, Machida Ryuuji's body suddenly rose up from the snow, and then quickly reached out with his hands, piercing the snow up to his thighs like a knife, directly inserted into the grass under the snow, and hidden under the grass. A plump wild rat was pulled out from a few inches of hole in the ground. The wild rat was still alive and squeaking.
With a smile, Machida Ryuuji tore the wild rat open, removed the internal organs and skinned it, then stuffed the bloody rat meat directly into his mouth and chewed it loudly, making a crunching sound. For those who didn't know, he thought he was here. What delicious food to eat? It’s actually just a wild rat, and it’s still raw meat!
After eating the wild mouse, Machida Ryuji felt that his physical strength had recovered somewhat.
Then, Machida Ryuji chose a direction and continued to escape.
…
After almost three hours, one person and one horse appeared at the place where Machida Ryuji had just eaten the wild rat alive.
This figure was none other than Leng Tiefeng. Leng Tiefeng first lurked near Machida Ryuji’s tent for almost half an hour. After realizing that Machida Ryuji could not return, he rode on Machida’s tent without hesitation. The war horse then followed the aura left by Machida Ryuji based on the tracking technique taught to him by Xu Rui.
Because he had to determine the location, and he was confused by Machida Ryuji's ninjutsu, he wasted a lot of time. By the time he caught up here, it was already three hours later, but it didn't matter. , because this is Suiyuan after all, and it will take at least several days for the little devil to escape back to the Japanese-occupied area!
Therefore, Leng Tiefeng had plenty of time to play with the little devil.
And when the wind and snow stop, the accuracy of Leng Tiefeng's tracking technique will become even higher.
In addition, there were horses, but the Japs were only escaping on foot. Therefore, after the blizzard stopped, Leng Tiefeng was confident enough to catch up with the escaping Japs, sooner or later!
After catching up to where Machida Ryuji was standing, Leng Tiefeng reined in his horse and stopped, sniffing twice.
In an instant, a faint smell of blood rushed into Leng Tiefeng's nose. Leng Tiefeng immediately turned over and dismounted, and used both hands to dig open the snow under his feet. After a while, a piece of snow was revealed in the cleared snow. The internal organs and fur of a group of wild rats. Seeing the fur and internal organs of a wild rat, Leng Tiefeng's lips immediately evoked a ferocious murderous intent.
It was not wrong, the little devil from Gouyue really ran in this direction.
After confirming that the direction was correct, Leng Tiefeng immediately got on his horse and chased forward again.
A moment later, the figure of a man and a horse disappeared into the boundless wind and snow. After another moment, the footprints left on the snow after the man and horse passed by were completely covered by the heavy snow, as if the little devil was still cold. It was as if Tiefeng had never been here before.
…
After dawn, the snowstorm finally stopped.
Machida Ryuji woke up from his sleep and sat up from the haystack where he was hiding.
This little devil's luck was really good. He actually found a mountain col in the middle of the night yesterday. What surprised him even more was that there was a camp in the middle of the mountain col. It seemed that it was once a herdsmen's settlement. The herdsmen didn't know where it was. They moved because they ran out of water and grass, or because the snow was too heavy, they moved to another camp.
All in all, Machida Ryuji found an empty camp.
There is not only hay in the camp, but also a small amount of dried meat.
After fleeing in the wind and snow for nearly a day and night, Machida Ryuuji finally took a sip of broth.
He drank a can of hot broth into his stomach, then poured it on the haystack and fell asleep.
When he woke up in the morning, the bonfire in front of him had long been extinguished, and even the ashes were cold. However, after Machida Ryuji had eaten enough and slept well, both physical strength and energy had been fully restored, and even the wound on his right rib had been completely restored. I also felt the slightest itching, it was the wound that was about to become scarred.
After a long stretch, Machida Ryuuji was about to raise the bonfire again and heat up the remaining broth in the earthen pot to drink it, when a warning sign suddenly surged in his heart.
Machida Ryuuji's brows immediately tightened.
Baga, the damn wolf fangs are catching up with me again, they are like maggots attached to their bones!
Since breaking through the realm, this little devil has an extremely keen sense of danger.
At that moment, Machida Ryuji swept the snow from the side of the haystack, covered the fire and ashes, and used hay to sweep away all the nearby footprints. Finally, he walked backwards to the north of the valley, sweeping away the footprints on the ground as he walked backwards. It's enough to hope that such a little trick can deceive the pursuer behind him, just to delay it for a moment.
This sounds complicated, but actually it only takes a moment to complete.
…
About two hours later, Machida Ryuji had long since disappeared.
A man and a horse appeared on the south side of the mountain col. This man was naturally Leng Tiefeng.
Machida Ryuji slept for at least a few hours, but Leng Tiefeng didn't sleep all night. However, he was not injured and did not lose blood, so he was in good spirits. At least there was not much tiredness on his face, but he* However, the Japanese war horse was already dying and began to foam at the mouth.
After arriving at the south side of the mountain col, Leng Tiefeng first prepared to turn around and walk eastward, but after walking a few steps, he immediately turned back and stopped at the entrance of the mountain col. A contemptuous sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Fake it, little devil. Entered the col! At that moment, Leng Tiefeng rode his horse straight into the mountain col.
However, after walking a few steps, the naked war horse's legs weakened and fell to its knees on the snow.
Leng Tiefeng got off the horse and realized that the Oriental horse was already exhausted. This was reasonable. The Oriental horse is a new breed of horse that was introduced and improved after the introduction of Arabian horses. Its explosive power has increased a lot, but its endurance Far inferior to the Mongolian horse, after walking in the snowstorm for such a long time, it has already reached the end of its strength.
Without any mercy, Leng Tiefeng killed the Japanese horse in this area with a knife.
Even without his horse, Leng Tiefeng was confident of catching up with the Japanese on foot.
It might not be that easy to escape from Leng Tiefeng's pursuit!
