Chapter 493: Guardian (Combined Chapter)

The wolves were surging, and the warriors of the North Wind Clan were all frightened, even their commander, Bo Wei, was no exception.

They were from the Shandi tribe, and they knew it better than anyone else.

The Bone Burial Wolves were cunning and ferocious. In the past, even if there were only one or two approaching the pasture, they would be enough to harass a tribe for several days, and even the most agile warriors would not dare to go out to graze alone.

The bone dogs tamed by ordinary herdsmen would not even be able to bark in front of them.

But this time,

they came in groups, all over the mountains and plains.

This is the normal state of the bone wasteland in the south.

"Release!"

A sharp shout woke them up, and after hearing the order, they subconsciously loosened the bowstrings.

Arrows rained down and splashed in all directions.

The Bone Burial Wolves wanted to dodge vigilantly, but there was also a disadvantage for the wolf pack to gather together, that is, they could not run out of a complicated route like the lone wolf before.

The Bone Burial Wolves that reacted the fastest bumped into their companions instead.

Then they were pierced by long arrows.

There were wailing sounds mixed in the long howls.

"Keep going, draw your bows!"

Bo Wei, who had reacted, took over the command, and the warriors also acted quickly.

They didn't have time to look at Lu Meng who had just given the order, and they were also glad that if the other party hadn't discovered the wolf pack earlier, if they had waited until the wolves of the Bone Burial Ground approached the white tent and suddenly appeared, it would not be a charge but a pounce.

It's not too late now.

These warriors of the North Wind Clan don't have to herd cattle on weekdays. They practice archery, wrestling, and fighting skills all day long. Even though they didn't have much chance to fight in the past because they succumbed to the sand bandits, their blood and courage still exceeded that of ordinary herdsmen.

Under Bo Wei's command, rounds of arrow rain were poured out.

Every time a Bone Burial Ground Wolf was shot and fell to the ground, there were gaps in the rushing wolf tide, but they were quickly filled by other Bone Burial Ground Wolves.

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

Bo Wei opened his bow left and right, shooting two arrows in a row.

One arrow pierced through the head of a Bone Buried Wolf as before, but the other one seemed to have been exhausted and passed through the corner of a Bone Buried Wolf's eye.

Juice was overflowing, and its eyeball was directly cut and exploded by the arrow.

But it did not cause fatal injuries, but aroused the ferocity of the beast.

The howling of wolves sounded one after another, like singing in harmony with each other and like a cry with blood.

The bone burial wolf has thick bones and a strong body.

Strong bows and crossbows can injure them, but it is difficult to kill them immediately. Many injured and fallen Bone Buried Wolf howled a few times, then got up from the ground and continued to run with long arrows piercing their bodies.

Their companions behind them licked the saliva at the corners of their mouths as if regretful.

With an empty stomach, they had no choice but to keep up.

The migration of the wandering tribes still worked.

From here to the south, at the junction of the Shem Land and the Skeleton Wasteland, there are almost no large herds. As for those small wild animals, they are not enough to feed the Bone Buried Wolves.

They have been marching for a long time in hunger.

If they go further, even the leader wolf may not be able to suppress the wolf pack, and the Bone Buried Wolves will retreat or move to other places in the midst of infighting.

But for the current situation.

Hunger also makes the current Bone Buried Wolves even crazier!

In their eyes, the hundreds of people in the distance are no longer powerful enemies with swords and bows, but blood-eating prey that must be swallowed no matter what.

The sound of the bowstrings continued to vibrate, and the warriors' muscles gradually ached.

But no one dared to stop.

They knew that their North Wind Clan had not gone far.

Plus the speed of the tribe's march.

No matter how long the Bone Buried Wolves can hold on, there is no doubt that they can at least catch up with the North Wind Clan in front.

At that time,

For ordinary herdsmen, it will undoubtedly be a massacre.

The wolf pack that had replenished its food and strength would not be satisfied. They would only continue to linger in Shandi and plunder, and even catch up with the tribes that migrated earlier... This was a chain reaction.

"Ah--"

A burial ground wolf that was obviously larger than the surrounding wolves let out a long howl.

Under the urging of this sound, many burial ground wolves charged a few points faster.

Even if it was not the leader of the entire wolf pack, it was also an old wolf with considerable prestige.

Bo Wei aimed at it.

He shot an arrow immediately.

Unexpectedly, this burial ground wolf not only did not avoid, but pounced on it and jumped into the air.

It bit the long arrow directly.

The pair of dark green eyes seemed to be full of mockery.

"Pah!"

A bloody hole suddenly exploded in the half body of this old wolf, which was empty and the giant full moon behind it could be seen directly from the front.

Only an iron arrow pierced its chest.

The fishy wind blew up Lu Meng's cloak. He held the crossbow of the old world in one hand and calmly pulled the trigger.

The old wolf's limp body fell to the ground, and the mockery in his eyes didn't fade away before his pupils went out.

The surrounding Bone Burial Wolves were obviously frightened.

There was a commotion.

The crossbow of the old world was indeed the weapon closest to modern firearms in Lu Meng's impression. Both the firing speed and the range exceeded the general cold weapon long-range.

He fired one after another, and each arrow was bloody.

There was no way to dodge, and no place to escape.

Some smart Bone Burial Wolves discovered the pattern and paid special attention to the human in the white-haired cloak. As long as he raised his hand, they scattered.

The scene was extremely chaotic for a while.

Unfortunately, the enemy on the opposite side was a large-scale enemy... Such a battle situation could not be changed by a single sharpshooter.

And the rain of arrows from the North Wind Warriors only slowed down the speed of the wolf pack.

The Bone Burial Wolves jumped over the trough and finally rushed towards the location of the crowd.

Under the illumination of the torch.

People can already see the full appearance of each Bone Burial Wolf.

Transparent and smelly wolf saliva, green pupils, pale and uneven fangs... became clearer.

Their fur was not completely black like the bone dogs, but brown-red, as if they were bathed in blood and dried by the long wind.

Such fur color is a natural protective color in the Skeleton Wasteland.

But it is more conspicuous among the green grass in the Flash Land.

It is no wonder that they chose to launch a surprise attack at night.

"Your Highness, what should we do!" Bo Wei rushed to Lu Meng, his voice more sincere than before.

They have at most two rounds of arrow rain.

The wolves will pounce on them.

"What else can we do." Lu Meng hung the Old World Crossbow back on his waist, turned his hand and held the Ming Blade Horse Slashing Sword, "Prepare for close combat."

"This..."

Bo Wei's pupils dilated instantly.

They knew that the other party was a legendary war-level existence, who could form an army by himself... but that was an equal to a human army, an army that would surrender, retreat, and be afraid.

After all, with reason,

he would not fight against enemies that he could not defeat anyway.

And facing this crazy wolf pack, even if he really had the strength to catch up and kill them all by himself, how long would it take?

One day and one night?

In that time, the remaining burial ground wolves would have avoided him and run away.

After regrouping, he could start hunting again.

But what about the others who stayed here?

Wouldn't it be a waste of the wolves?

"That's right," Lu Meng glanced at him, "but if there has never been 'me', what should the North Wind Clan do?"

-A certain timeline, there is no 'nameless person' in the world.

At this moment, the North Wind Clan is still serving the Sand Bandits. Although they can also get news of the Beaked Beast Disaster, the White Eyebrow Clan will not come to support them.

The North Wind Clan migrated in a panic,

Then, the burial ground wolves arrived as expected.

So...

"You are the only ones who can stop the wolves."

What's even better than the above possibilities is that because of Lu Meng's arrangement, the warriors of the Beifeng clan stayed behind and occupied the best terrain within a few miles, at least successfully blocking the wolves.

At least they can delay time and give the tribe a chance to retreat.

As he spoke, the Bone Burial Wolves pounced on the hillside, and a rain of arrows shot straight down. At such a close distance, even a less skilled archer could hit their chests.

Another group of Bone Burial Wolves fell to the ground.

Then, more of the same kind jumped over their bodies.

And Lu Meng's words reached everyone's ears.

The warriors' hearts trembled.

The long-term stable life has made the Beifeng clan lose their sense of crisis, forgetting that they are actually in a world full of dangers, and forgetting that outside the perennially fertile grassland, there is actually endless wind and dust.

No one is obliged to protect them forever.

The authorization of the Sand Bandits was for enslavement, and the White Eyebrow Clan could withdraw their help at any time.

Even the Red King in front of them was the same.

Compared to others, he was at least standing with them at this moment.

And the only ones who could truly protect the tribe and continue hope were themselves.

Otherwise, the final outcome would also be destruction.

The wolves continued to pounce, and the warriors of the North Wind Clan did not shoot arrows, but pulled out the torches on the ground and threw them down.

The torches soaked in sheep oil hit the brown hair of the Buried Ground Wolf, and they burned with a "swish", making them howl in pain.

And the sparks fell on the half-dried weeds with oil, instantly raising a layer of fire circles, pushing down, and the flames shot up into the sky.

The fear of fire is buried deep in the genes of wild beasts, even the Buried Ground Wolf is no exception. They were frightened and retreated, and bought a lot of time.

But the weeds on the grass hill were soon burned out.

The team surrounding the white tent, which had lost many torches, became even dimmer, which in turn highlighted the moonlight in the sky.

In the dark night, those green eyes were even more terrifying.

The Bone Burial Ground Wolves continued to charge, and the warriors put their arrows on the strings, pulled them to the limit with all their strength, and refused to let go.

They knew this was the last round of chances.

"I'll give you two choices," Lu Meng spoke again at this time, "One, follow me, I'll lead you out."

In terms of strength, although the Bone Burial Ground Wolves are ferocious.

But they are still far from trapping Lu Meng.

"You know, with my ability to tame beasts, I am very confident that I can lead you out."

Under normal circumstances, Lu Meng can forcefully control or shock thirty beasts at the same time, which is the upper limit of this world, but he can also remove this limit through modules.

Of course, with Lu Meng's current perception and mental strength, he can't reach the full number of 256. To put it in an analogy, the computing power is not enough and the CPU is going to explode.

After all, if you want to divide it into 256 parts, you will become a madman if you are not crazy.

The last time he controlled the Blood Spider Legion, he felt dizzy before the number of nodes directly controlled exceeded 100.

It is the current limit.

But even so, with his own fighting power and the North Wind Warriors, they were not a burden to hold back, and they were more than enough to rush out of the wolf pack together.

However,

After hearing the Red King speak, a glimmer of hope was in front of them, but none of the soldiers of the North Wind Clan responded.

These faces, young or old, just clenched their teeth tightly.

The muscles on the side of their faces were stretched into a firm straight line.

They knew what this choice meant, and they also knew the deeper meaning that Lu Meng did not say.

Those who stayed behind could break through,

but after breaking through, the wolf pack would rush towards the migrating North Wind Clan without a target to attract them, and would drive straight in without any obstacles along the way.

After losing this position,

they would not be able to catch up with the speed of the wolf pack.

They could only wander with the Red King, or establish a new clan, or join his army...

Of course, at least they could keep their lives.

Lu Meng paused as if waiting for an answer, and then said: "The second choice..."

A voice interrupted him.

"Release!" Bo Wei roared.

The taut longbow was released in an instant, and the deadly sharp arrows shot into the chest of the Buried Wolf. The force was so strong that even the arrow shaft broke, and a series of blood flowers spurted out.

"The second choice... It seems that there is no need to listen."

Lu Meng stopped talking.

He saw the North Wind Warriors throw away their longbows, then draw out their sharp knives and hammers, and hold their spears and cleavers.

The iron was cold and cold.

In an instant, the murderous aura was as heavy as substance.

Even the Buried Wolf, with the extremely hungry madness in his eyes, was shocked back a little.

"My father's legs are not good, he can't walk fast..." A young voice said, "Your Highness the Red King, please help me buy more time."

"My old woman has only a few pounds of meat on her body, even if she feeds the wolves, they can't be full," a voice said with a smile, "Why not let me take over, my bones are hard, maybe I can shut up those beasts."

"Yes, yes, I..."

Wolves howled and roared all over the field, and the people on the grass hills were laughing and talking.

It's not that they are not afraid,

but behind them are their loved ones, and it is the thoughts that support them to persist in this cruel world.

Lu Meng took a last look at Bo Wei: "You are not from Shandi, I thought you would at least be willing to follow me."

"Red King." Bo Wei's smile was slightly bitter, "My hometown is indeed not in Shandi... But how much affection do you think a person will have for the hometown that has sold him out?"

"By the way, I want to share a happy event. My daughter was just born last year. She is very cute... If you have a chance, you can go to see her for me."

Hearing the last bit of pride in the other party's words, Lu Meng smiled: "That's really enviable."

"Ah——————"

A louder and more distant wolf howl than ever before resounded in the wilderness.

In the distance, an unusually tall Buried Wolf with scars all over his body slowly poked his head out and howled to the sky.

Under its urging, the wolf pack ignored the shock brought to them by the strange crowd, and flooded Qingqiu like a countercurrent tide.

The Buried Wolf finally fell in front of everyone.

However, just as the North Wind Warriors were fearlessly rushing towards them, they saw a surprising scene:

Lu Meng held the inscribed blade, but did not swing it at the Bone Burying Wolf,

but pressed the blade directly against his chest.

He pulled it, and blood splashed.

With Lu Meng's current [Toughness], ordinary weapons could hardly hurt him, but with the peerless inscribed blade, it was easy to break his flesh and blood.

"Red King!" Bo Wei couldn't help but scream.

"But, in fact, you should listen to my options," the thick blood dyed Lu Meng's cloak red, but he didn't change his face, "If you choose to fight to the death..."

"Then I can also keep you safe!"

Then, he rushed into the wolf pack before everyone else!

The wind blew,

The sweet smell made the hungry beasts completely crazy.
