Chapter 266 (1/2)

”Moo...! baa...!” then several war horses hissed.

In the darkness of morning and evening, several solitary livestock galloped around the small hill, leaving three people with a blank face.

”What's going on?”

It's not strange to see a few solitary animals on the grassland, but it's their reaction. It's obvious that these livestock have been running for a long time, with clear and rapid breathing, and their weak body doesn't mean to stop to rest at all, which is obviously very abnormal.

His eyes moved with the frightened livestock, and soon his eyes looked to the west again, with grave and uneasy anxiety between his eyebrows.

Behind the three people is the direction of Zhuoma's camp. The shadow of rat tide lingers. I don't know whether Zhuoma will adopt the strategies left. Whether the nomads who are busy competing for power and profit will unite in a critical moment is an unsolvable mystery.

”Our time is running out. Edita stays here to guard the horses. David and I quickly collect dry branches.”

Soon, several piles of dry and wet firewood were scattered around the small soil slope. ”Road! Is this OK?” David dragged a branch and sat panting on the firewood.

”What do you say?” Lu Ziming had no good way.

David bowed his head and said in frustration, ”edita and I are a burden. I didn't think you didn't take the opportunity to leave us. We are very satisfied to live until now.”.

Lu Ziming looked at David and said nothing. As David said, he could leave them here and run away alone, but he would be upset. Damn kindness, maybe this will kill himself, but he still chose to stay.

A wisp of fish white rose slowly from the eastern horizon, dispersing a small piece of darkness. The star was shining white and hung in a corner of the sky. The gray dawn was eroding the earth. The grass was covered with crystal dew, like beating pearls.

”They're coming!” Lu Ziming looked up at the dark scene in the west, handed two steel knives inserted in the grass to David and aidita, finally checked the equipment and said, ”it's up to you to leave here alive. I can't protect you all the time.”.

Adita took the knife, reached out and touched her belly, showing a faint smile.

”Yes! No matter whether we can survive or not, you are the most trustworthy person I have ever seen.” David held the steel knife tightly in both hands and stared at the increasingly clear shadow in the West.

”Fire!”

Plumes of flames with thick smoke billowed into the sky on the dry and wet firewood, blackened half the sky, the war horses restlessly stepped on the wet grass, and made a whistling cry in their nostrils.

The sound of ”Chi Chi, Zhi Zhi” came from a distance, and a dark gray and black fast-moving shadow appeared at the end of his eyes.

”Prairie mutant vole!” adita screamed.

Ordinary lamb sized prairie voles appeared around the hillside. Out of the instinctive fear of fire, prairie voles quickly spread towards both sides of the hillside. Some prairie voles exposed rows of sharp spikes towards the fire and made ”squeak” uneasy noises.
