Chapter 113: Must Act Immediately

"Run!"

In such a predicament, there is no other choice.

Although the Teng Jiao looks terrifying, it is a low-grade cold beast after all; the individual strength of the Gnawing Mouse is not strong, and although seven or eight are not few, they don't pose much threat to the three in a non-sneak attack situation.

The key is that if they don't run, half an hour will pass.

Xia Hong already clearly felt a little dizzy and swollen in his head, and the temperature was dropping faster and faster, proving that it was not far from dawn.

As soon as he gave an order, the three lifted their knives at the same time and rushed toward the direction of the two Gnawing Mice.

The six Gnawing Mice on the other two sides reacted very quickly and rushed over to try to block the three from escaping, but before they could move, the Teng Jiao above them moved first.

Hu…………

A giant tail fell from the sky, smashing toward the three.

Xia Hong didn't need to look up. Just from the wind sound caused by the giant tail falling, he realized how terrifying the Teng Jiao's strength was. He gave up the two Gnawing Mice in front of him directly, dodged sideways before the giant tail fell, and lifted his knife with force.

Peng…………

The Teng Jiao's giant tail smashed into the ground, raising the snow for more than ten meters. Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan, although they dodged left and right at the last moment, were still hit by the Teng Jiao's subsequent sweep and were knocked away for more than ten meters.

Pu chi…………

After the two fell to the ground, although they stood up quickly, they vomited blood one after another. Obviously, they were injured in the internal organs by the Teng Jiao's terrifying force.

Unlike the two, Xia Hong not only dodged the collision of the Teng Jiao's giant tail, but the broadsword in his hand even slashed into the Teng Jiao's tail. Taking advantage of the Teng Jiao's last sweep, he pulled out the broadsword.

A deep knife wound more than a meter long had already appeared on the Teng Jiao's tail.

"Strength is above me, it should be over twenty-five thousand jin, but the defense is average. Iron tools can hurt it!"

Xia Hong took a deep breath, and a trace of joy floated on his face.

Just now, when the Teng Jiao's giant tail smashed down, he didn't take the initiative to attack, but held the knife in mid-air. The wound on the Teng Jiao's tail was caused by its own inability to hold back its strength. The last sweep was obviously caused by the broadsword, and it made the move subconsciously because of the pain.

"Leader, the Gnawing Mouse's movements have slowed down!"

"Not bad, they are not as agile as before."

At the same time, good news came from Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan on the other side.

The reason why the two were hit by the Teng Jiao's sweep just now was because they blocked the two Gnawing Mice in front of them. The bodies of those two Gnawing Mice were now covered with knife wounds caused by the two.

With the normal speed of the Gnawing Mouse, the two of them would definitely not be able to hurt them.

Xia Hong turned to look at the knife wounds on the Gnawing Mice, then looked around at the eight Gnawing Mice, and found that their red pupils were all showing obvious confusion, and their body movements were indeed much slower than before, so he realized immediately.

"Poison mist, the poison sprayed by this Teng Jiao has a greater impact on the Gnawing Mouse than on people!"

Hu…………

As soon as the voice fell, the wind sound came again. Xia Hong hurriedly took the two and ran rapidly toward the south, which was the position where the Gnawing Mouse group had been chasing the three of them and finally stopped.

"Nature is mutually exclusive. These two cold beasts are indeed natural enemies. Fortunately, their individual strength is not strong. As long as we can solve the Gnawing Mouse group and escape safely, it will not be a problem."

Seeing the restraint of the poison mist on the Gnawing Mouse, Xia Hong made a decision immediately. The Teng Jiao is strong, but the threat to them is limited, and escaping is not a problem. The Gnawing Mouse group is their biggest obstacle to survival at the moment.

That large group of Gnawing Mice underground, regardless of whether they retreated or not, taking the Teng Jiao over is the most stable. It would be best if the two sides could fight. Even if they couldn't fight, scaring away the Gnawing Mouse group would be enough for them to survive.

The Teng Jiao ate that knife just now, and obviously had great hatred for Xia Hong. Seeing the three flee, it chased them without thinking, bypassing the trees.

Of course, in the process, it didn't forget to swoop down and swallow the eight Gnawing Mice on the ground that were about to faint.

Hu... Hu... Hu... Hu...

The trees in Seeing Hong Mu Ridge are unusually thick and tall. The Teng Jiao doesn't need to land at all. It only needs to borrow force to climb and bypass the trees to keep up with the three. In less than a moment, the distance was drawn closer.

"The ground is moving, it worked, that group of Gnawing Mice is retreating!"

During the escape, passing near the area where the Gnawing Mouse group stopped earlier, feeling the movement of the mouse group retreating from the ground, Xia Hong didn't dare to stop his feet, but joy gradually appeared on his face.

"Throw the torch!"

Xia Hong gave an order, and Xia Chuan beside him immediately understood. While running, he lit the torch and threw it fiercely in the direction the Gnawing Mouse group was retreating.

Almost the moment the torch lit up, the movement underground stopped abruptly, and the Teng Jiao chasing from behind also contracted its pupils, and its body stagnated.

"It worked, run quickly!"

Once again, Xia Hong couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the attraction of torches to cold beasts could be so great.

The Gnawing Mouse chased them from the north slope of the mountain wall to here, nearly two kilometers. Even if they encountered the Teng Jiao, they were unwilling to retreat, which shows their murderous intent toward them; the Teng Jiao was slashed by him, and its hatred for him must also be not low.

But even so, these two parties stopped immediately upon seeing the torch, and their targets all became the torch.

Xia Hong didn't dare to look back at the rear anymore. Even if the Teng Jiao and the Gnawing Mouse group broke out in a battle, he didn't have the courage to go back and pick up a bargain.

Being able to save a life tonight is already a blessing.

Going back is looking for death, playing with life.

"Bring the two Gnawing Mouse corpses, hurry back to the camp!" The three ran wildly all the way, brought the two Gnawing Mouse corpses on the way, and finally returned to the camp at the last moment before dawn.

The new wooden house is nearing completion, with only internal work left. In the case of closed light sources during the day, it can also be constructed normally, so except for those who are resting in rotation, a small number are still constructing normally in the wooden house.

However, most people are hiding in the temporary wooden house.

The embarrassed appearance of the three Xia Hong returning immediately caused panic among the people in the camp, and everyone surrounded them with worried expressions.

Peng…………

As soon as they entered the wooden house, Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan immediately put down the two Gnawing Mouse corpses, greeted people to process them quickly, and immediately followed Xia Hong to the iron smelting furnace.

Several women in the camp immediately carried Golden Sore Powder and soft leather to treat the wounds of the three.

Luo Yuan had blood overflowing from the corners of his mouth, and there were four or five claw marks on his left arm and chest. Although they had been applied with Golden Sore Powder earlier and were healing, they were still bloody. His back was bruised, and it could be seen that several bones had collapsed. His injuries were the most serious;

Xia Chuan's back collapsed, blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and there were several scratches on his arms. Compared with them, his injuries were the lightest;

The most miserable one is Xia Hong. His injuries were not as serious as Luo Yuan's. There were three deep claw marks on his waist. Although some flesh and blood were still hanging on it, after applying Golden Sore Powder earlier, it was also recovering.

Mainly, there was a scar three or four inches long on his face, and the flesh and blood inside were still turned out, which was extremely terrifying.

The three of them were not only injured, but their faces were obviously flushed, and their pupils were a little scattered, obviously showing signs of poisoning. Others didn't know, but people like Zhao Long from the former Luo Ge camp knew at a glance that it was the poison of the Cloud Mist Teng Jiao.

=9+Book_Bar

Looking at the broadswords brought back by the three, not only were there gaps, but there were also large areas of curled blades. It is not hard to imagine what kind of dangerous situation the three encountered in the past hour.

Not to mention the women who treated the three, all of them were wiping tears, and the others watching around also had worry and horror on their faces. Some young ones even cried directly, but the adults were worried about affecting the rest of Xia Hong and the three, so they covered their mouths and didn't let them cry out.

"Chuan, what's the situation?"

"What happened to the leader?"

"Will the leader be okay?"

…………

The first to wake up among the three was Xia Chuan. Seeing that Xia Hong and Luo Yuan were still resting with their eyes closed, the others surrounded them to ask about the situation.

"Don't make noise first, wait until the leader wakes up."

Xia Chuan shook his head, signaling others to be quiet.

Half an hour later, Xia Hong's scattered pupils gradually returned to normal, the flush on his face faded, and he completely recovered.

"Have those two Gnawing Mice been processed? Bring them over quickly for me to see!"

The first thing Xia Hong did when he woke up was to see the two Gnawing Mice.

Xia Chuan immediately ordered people to bring the processed Gnawing Mice over.

"Leader, there is not much meat on the Gnawing Mouse, only 287 jin, the internal bones are 120 jin, and the two gnawing teeth alone account for 20 jin, which is very hard. The other 100 jin of internal bones are the same as the previous cold beasts, all of which can only be ground into powder; in addition, the fur of this Gnawing Mouse is very soft, and the warmth function is much stronger than other cold beasts."

The value of cold beasts is not just meat; cold beast fur can be used for leather scrolls for writing, clothes worn by people, various leather products; the internal bones of some cold beasts can be ground into powder and used as medicine; some key parts can also be used as other tools, etc…………

Early on, in order to make greater use of the prey, Xia Hong had already handed over the matter of processing cold beast prey to the people in the craftsman workshop.

After the Gnawing Mouse was processed, the results were naturally reported by the workshop owner, Mu Dong, one by one.

Hearing Mu Dong's report, Xia Hong touched the silver mouse skin, although there was light in his eyes, it disappeared quickly.

But when he saw the azure blue Gnawing Mouse meat and the two fifty or sixty-centimeter gnawing teeth, not only did the light in Xia Hong's eyes rise again, but his face was also full of surprise.

"Leader, is there a strong enemy?"

"How did you get injured like this? Is it a very powerful cold beast?"

"Leader, let us go out with you tonight, fight with that cold beast, our Does Da Xia has so many people, we are not afraid of it!"

"Not bad, fight with the cold beast, even if I use my teeth, I will bite a piece of meat off it."

…………

The circle of people around him suddenly started talking one after another. Xia Hong was stunned, looked up at the expressions on everyone's faces, from panic and worry gradually developing into righteous indignation, shouting to fight with the cold beast, and a warm current rose in his heart.

He, Xia Chuan, and Luo Yuan are basically the three strongest in Does Da Xia at present.

Even the three of them are like this, how could these people in the camp not understand that even if they really fight, it is a dead end.

But even so, seeing him injured like this, they still threw away the fear and worry that first rose in their hearts, and instead showed a bloody side.

If it weren't for the high recognition of him as a leader, these hundreds of people would definitely not have made this reaction.

"On the north slope, a pile of………… appeared"

Xia Hong didn't hide it, and directly told the matter of the Gnawing Mouse group.

Since the camp's hearts are available, just say it directly, and originally, in his subsequent plan, he was also going to use these people in the camp.

After Xia Hong finished talking about the situation of the Gnawing Mouse group, everyone in the camp quieted down, and worry appeared on their faces involuntarily.

Xia Hong is also the same. He pondered for a moment, looked directly at everyone, and said:

"The north slope is only two kilometers away from the valley. Once discovered by that group of Gnawing Mice, everyone in the Does Da Xia camp will be on a dead end, so we must think of a way quickly, either drive them away or guide them away, and we must act immediately. The longer we drag, the more dangerous our situation will be……"
