C40 (1/2)

On both sides were high mountains, and on the mountains were green trees and strange looking rocks. This road was right in the middle of the valley, although it wasn't a bad one, but it wasn't a dead end either. Looking at the faint traces of hooves in front of them, although they didn't know when this was done, at least it could be said that they weren't the vanguards here. If there was someone who had done it before, it meant that there must be a way out ahead!

Dusk was faint, but it was already dusk.

Although Mei Xiang's eyes were still shining brightly in his embrace, it was obvious that she was already exhausted. She had done too many things today, and from morning until now, she had never stopped. The morning's ransom, the afternoon's County Yamen disturbance, the afternoon's annihilation, and all the way until dusk's journey, she had always been in a state of high excitement. This excited state lasted for too long, and directly caused people's minds to become drowsy. Otherwise, as a timid, ordinary girl, she wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long.

Long Feiyu lightly patted her shoulder. ”Mei Xiang, let's find a place to rest!”

Mei Xiang nodded, ”Alright! ”But how can I rest here in the wilderness?”

Long Feiyuwei laughed: ”There are so many stones here, there must be caves. Let's take a look!”

Mei Xiang looked around, and was slightly nervous: ”Everything is pitch black here.”

Long Feiyu picked her up and jumped down, ”What are you afraid of? With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything! ”

These words were true, he was here. The wild beasts in the mountains were only his food, even if there were enemies, they could only be his appetizers!

The two slept all the way until the morning of the second day. Long Feiyu was awoken by a series of loud yells, he realized that the sound was coming from a valley beside the forest, and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a magnificent scenery.

On the left side of the valley, there was a waterfall that was like a jade dragon flying down. It was powerful enough to move a person's heart, and it also had Angry Stones flying in the air in an attempt to obstruct their momentum.

This waterfall formed a huge stream in the cave, flowing towards the north. Right next to this stream, there were two to three hundred wild horses happily drinking water. In the distance, there stood a black horse that looked more than two feet taller than an ordinary horse. This black horse's body was as black as if it had been dipped in oil, and it stood alone on the slope, unceasingly hoof up, its neat and smooth mane dancing in the mountain breeze, looking lonely and proud. All the wild horses at the foot of the mountain did not dare to approach it.

Long Feiyu looked at the girl in his arms and was slightly shocked. When did he hold her? Perhaps the night was cold and she had entered by herself? Other than hugging her, there was nothing else he could have done, right? Seeing that the two were dressed well, Long Feiyu was slightly relieved. Her sleeping posture was very sweet, and her face seemed to be slightly red. Was she having a beautiful dream? Her body was very soft and very light, just like a sweet dream! Long Feiyu also didn't want to disturb her sweet dream, so he held her and didn't dare to move. However, he didn't know that she had woken up long ago! He could not bear to wake up the sleeping Mei Xiang. Actually, how could he know that Mei Xiang had already woken up?

”I'll go take a look. The horses over there are barking. Sleep well.” It was also because he liked the dark horse that he decided to take a look. Only then did he unconsciously say this to Mei Xiang, who was pretending to be asleep.

The way down the mountain was difficult, but to Long Feiyu, it was just a plate of side dishes. Fortunately, the black horse had not left yet, and was walking leisurely on the mountain slope, occasionally eating some fresh grass with its head down, but before Long Feiyu even got close, it was already keenly aware that there was a stranger in the valley. This black horse was also not as afraid of strangers as the other wild horses. It looked at Long Feiyu and suddenly let out a long hiss.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! The fifty to sixty strong and tall wild horses galloped up the hill, surrounding Long Feiyu. Long Feiyu saw that all the wild horses had hostile looks in their eyes, they kept plowing their hooves, like warriors facing an intruder, waiting for the order from the black horse, they brandished their hooves and rushed towards him.

Long Feiyu knew that these horses were wild and untrained, if they really attacked together, he really did not know how to deal with them, and could not help but feel apprehensive. At this critical moment, the horses that were drinking water at the bottom of the slope suddenly let out a long panicked hiss, as if they had encountered some sort of danger. Long Feiyu turned his head to look, only to see over twenty large and sinister looking lions rushing out of the valley. Their four hooves moved extremely quickly, with their mouths wide open, they roared and pounced towards the herd of horses. Not long after, seven or eight wild horses were brutally kissed by the lion and fell to the ground, their bodies covered in blood.

The black horse let out a long hiss, spreading its hooves as fast as the wind, and welcomed the lions like lightning. The other wild horses on the hillside also followed the black horse, letting out hissing sounds. This was a rare contest between nature and nature. From time to time, the male lion would use his sharp teeth and claws to attack the wild horse, swinging his tail with force, causing grass to fly everywhere, while the wild horse would constantly use his front hooves to trample on the male lion's body, but the difference in strength was too great, in just a short time, more than ten gallant wild horses covered in blood fell to the ground.
