"David, get ready to retreat". Looking at the weaker and weaker fire, the surrounding prairie voles are ready to move. Some "anxious" voles have crossed the fire and surrounded the three people.
David didn't speak. He took the horse and helped edita up. He climbed onto the horse and was ready to leave.
The situation is worse than expected. Let Lu Ziming face hundreds of voles alone, and there is no chance of winning. If it is three Superman, the situation may be much better.
Lu Ziming picked up a pile of burning ashes with a knife. The passage was just enough for a prairie vole to pass through. He waved his steel knife and cleaved at a vole trying to enter, and then blocked the vole's body in the passage and let it be eroded by the fire.
So many times, a "brave" vole died in the channel, and the air smelled of charred barbecue. The "smart" vole found that it was an artificial trap and dared not rush in from the channel again.
He didn't retreat in a hurry. He looked around at anxious voles. When he found there was no danger, he went to two mutant voles and found crystals and fortified meat from mutant voles.
"Are you two ready?"
David nodded, looked back at adita, stretched out his hand and pulled the reins of adita Ma, fully showing the due style of a gentleman. If he said "beauty first", it would be absolutely very touching.
Lu Ziming suddenly found that David, a middle-aged man, has European chivalry, which has nothing to do with strength, character and faith.
He jumped on the horse's back, stood on the horse's back and looked around. A silver ribbon loomed not far away. There was a small river that was not too wide winding and flowing: "continue to the southeast, drive!"
The horses leaped over the burning fire, and their hooves soared and stepped on a prairie vole, making a sharp scream. The three horses rushed down the hillside like arrows, stepping on the panicked voles, leaving a mess of corpses on the ground, and disappeared from the hillside.
Prairie voles seem to have evolved into a group, and they seem to be driven by bloodthirsty instinct. After a short period of chaos, the voles turn around and catch up with the three people.
The speed of the war horse is not much faster than that of the prairie vole, which is related to the riding skills of the three people, and because none of the three war horses has reached the riding age, the maximum speed per hour is only half of the speed of the normal war horse. Fortunately, the prairie vole failed to respond in time. In addition, the hillside was not far from the river. When the prairie vole was about to catch up, the three had forced across the river.
"You go, I'll stay and break the back!"
Lu Ziming, who had just crossed the river, jumped off his horse. Prairie voles can swim. Although their swimming skills are not good, it is not a problem to swim across a narrow river.
"Road! Be careful!" adita said the first word of concern.
"Come on, I can't stop them. How long will it take you to the south to reach Qi City? Maybe we will meet there?"
Qi city is Ren Yan's sphere of influence and the only gateway from the grassland to state Z. Lu Ziming expects Zhuoma and others will not miss the opportunity to pursue and kill Ren Yan. Qi city is likely to be captured in a short time. It is not dangerous for David and aidita to go to Qi city.
As for himself, Lu Ziming thought it was very simple. If he couldn't fight, he ran away. It was easier to get away without David and edita.
None of the three people had any experience of grassland survival. Relatively speaking, Lu Ziming's situation was a little stronger than them. At least he wouldn't panic when encountering any danger. He didn't want to watch them die because of his decision.
He patrolled back and forth along the river bank with a steel knife. When he saw the prairie vole crossing the river, he came forward with a knife and tried to buy time for the two to escape. As more and more voles swam across the river, he knew he had done his best.
Fighting with voles is very tiring and energy can't be used. In close combat, voles have to bend their heads and run back and forth. In addition, voles are too flexible. It often takes a few knives to kill a vole. He is breathless. If he doesn't get bitten by voles, he will be exhausted alive.
No longer entangled, he fought and retreated, waved and killed a vole nearby. Taking advantage of the characteristics of voles, he quickly climbed up the war horse and chased David and edita south.
The morning sun just jumped out of the horizon and went into the dark clouds. A lightning cut through the darkness and lit up the whole river. Both sides of the river are covered with voles. I don't know when the number of voles has increased again. Looking at the whole green grassland, it has become a gray one. A large number of voles are no longer swimming across the river, but piled up. Just after a vole goes down the river, another vole rushes into the river on the back of the previous vole, and then the latter vole rushes into the river on the back of the previous vole. In this way, the river is soon full of voles crossing the river, forming a river crossing channel composed of voles.
In front of nature, human power is small. Compared with the whole prairie vole group, Lu Ziming's power is even weaker, and he doesn't even have the courage to resist.
I don't know when there was a strong wind on the grassland. The strong wind mixed with rain the size of soybeans poured down and hurt my face. The rain soaked his clothes, lost his eyes and lost his sense of direction. I don't know how long it took. Looking back, the rainy day was foggy and gray, and the visibility dropped to within ten meters. I could no longer hear the "squeaking" sound of voles behind me, only the "crackling" sound of raindrops and the "clattering" sound of horse hoofs.
In such bad weather, the vole couldn't catch up with Lu Ziming. He didn't even know where he was. He could only roughly choose a direction and kept urging the war horse to move forward and move forward.
He touched the rain on his face and checked his equipment. There were no arrows, and the bow and arrow were useless. Fortunately, the food in the backpack is enough to eat for a few days, otherwise I will really starve to death. The compass can't count on it. Looking at the rotating pointer, my heart suddenly sank. I don't know if I'm lost now. I can't continue on my way until the rain stops.
I don't know how long I walked in the rain, the grass under my feet became sparse, and a large area of sand appeared in my vision. At this time, the rain finally stopped. I don't know whether the rain finally stopped or whether I walked out of the rain area. Lu Ziming felt strange and uneasy about the scenery in front of me. Unexpectedly, he walked to the edge of the desert, which is a yellowish brown sand and gravel land, There was no cloud in the sky, and behind him was the dark sky. Did you come to the Gobi.
PS: in the next volume, the plot and the feelings of the characters will go deeper, and the pit will continue to be dug and buried until the end of the story.
