Just when Chu Yi and Sang Bu went to where the yaks were, dozens more long-horned sheep fell from above.
This continuous stimulation made the yaks restless. Fortunately, the two guides arrived in time and calmed down the yaks before they rioted.
After seeing that there was no problem with the yak herd, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his attention to the long-horned sheep carcasses in front of him with broken bones and tendons.
"If nothing else, these long-horned sheep should come from the same ethnic group." Hu Bayi also looked at these sheep corpses and thought for a while.
Chen Ziyan nodded: "It seems so."
This is an obvious thing. Longhorn sheep are creatures that live in groups, and they will never choose one from a flock.
"Why do you think this is so small?" Wang Kaixuan also scratched his head and wondered: "We just entered the Zanggu Valley, and one foot is still outside the door. This Zangma Bear And the long-horned sheep fell down."
He now somewhat believes in the legend of Zanggugou.
Others also had slightly condensed expressions. The first time they entered here, they had already looked at the specific situation here. It was clear that there were only skeletons whose skin and flesh had melted away. Obviously, there had been no jumps for a long time. Cliff incident.
Just like Wang Kaixuan said, they just entered here and jumped so much in one go. No matter how you think about it, it feels weird.
As for the coincidence, no one present believed it.
Seeing the silence of several people, Black Glasses walked out to take a look again. After coming back, he said: "It seems that there is no more, but gentlemen, do you think we are still continuing to camp?"
Although this place is a natural shelter, no matter how many beasts fall from it, it will be fine, but if one falls from time to time, who can rest well after being shocked.
Shirley Yang thought for a while and said: "How about we exit this Zanggu Valley and go back outside to find a place to settle down again."
She felt that this place was a bit evil and not a place to stay for a long time. .
Chen Ziyan looked at the beast corpses again, pondered for a moment and then said: "It makes some sense, but..."
The things he is thinking about now are different from others, and he knows most of the inside story. Knowing that the thing to consider now is not whether beasts will continue to fall from above, but how to deal with the wolves coming to collect the spoils.
According to the development in the original plot, they estimate that they will encounter wolves no matter where they move. The only difference is that they can advance or retreat as they please outside the Zanggu Valley, but here they don’t need to worry about being surrounded by enemies on all sides.
Hu Bayi noticed Chen Ziyan's hesitation and asked tentatively: "Mr. Chen, are there any hidden dangers in this move?"
He didn't think it was the question of whether to move or not that made him hesitate. Chen Ziyan was so difficult to make a decision, so he speculated that there was something inside that he didn't know.
Chen Ziyan thought for a while and then said: "Seeing the corpses of these beasts, I suddenly thought of a rumor I had heard before. It is said that some beasts use special methods to hunt, including cases of using terrain."
"Mr. Chen, do you think these beasts did not jump down by themselves, but were driven away by other creatures?" Hu Bayi immediately understood what he meant and asked.
"Yes, I do have this idea. If this is the case, the creatures that drive these beasts will definitely come to collect their spoils, and we will inevitably have to deal with each other." Chen Ziyan nodded.
The so-called dealings are not difficult to understand. In such a no-man's land, it is difficult for even people to live in peace with each other, let alone humans and animals, who are clearly separated. When the two sides meet, conflicts will inevitably arise.
Wang Kaixuan also understood at this time: "If you say this, then even if we move outside the Zanggu Valley, we may still encounter each other?"
As soon as he said these words, everyone else understood what Chen Ziyan was hesitating about.
Black Glasses twisted his neck and said: "Then just don't move. The situation may not be better than this. If you don't find a suitable place by then, you may have to look around. Under attack."
The battle-hardened Black Glasses has dealt with many similar things, so he quickly simulated the possible situation he would face.
Wang Kaixuan immediately raised his hands in agreement: "I think Lao Hei's method is good. Anyway, we may encounter it no matter what, so we might as well wait here. If it comes, we can take care of it. If we don't come, forget it. That thing is lucky.”
“It’s a wolf!”
Just after Wang Kaixuan finished speaking, Chu Yi's voice suddenly rang out.
Chen Ziyan and the others followed the sound and found that Chu Yi and Sang Bu had already taken care of the yak herd. They happened to hear their discussion. The experienced Chu Yi immediately gave the answer.
“Brother Chuyi, how do you know it’s a wolf?” Wang Kaixuan asked curiously.
The arbitrary tone in Chu Yi's tone made him a little puzzled. After all, leaving aside the snowy area, the Shenluogou behind was dominated by virgin forest, and there must be no shortage of ferocious beasts in it.
“Because wolves are not adapted to running in high-altitude areas, it is difficult for them to catch up with prey here, so hunting has become the main hunting method.” Before Chu Yi could answer, Hu Bayi gave him got the answer.
He had lived in Kunlun Mountain for a long time, so he knew the situation of wolves in the snowy area very well. After he said it was a wolf pack on the first day of the new year, he immediately thought of the reason.
Sambu also said: "Yes, the most likely person to do such a thing is the wolf. Most of the other beasts in the mountains walk alone, so it is difficult to do this." Shirley Yang frowned slightly when he heard this: "I want to To achieve this, the size of the wolf pack should be very large, right?”
Although she doesn’t know what wolves are like living in the snowy mountains, she also sees wolves in other places. I have passed quite a few, so I have a pretty good idea of what the size of a wolf pack is under normal circumstances.
The first grade of junior high school thought for a while and replied: "There must be at least thirty or forty."
Although he used to be the captain of the Karamir Wolves team, he usually killed them whenever he encountered them. He really didn't pay special attention to these, so he didn't have much impression. He could only give a general number based on his own experience.
After finishing speaking, Chu Yi seemed to have thought of something. Without waiting for others to speak, he continued: "I suddenly thought of a place that might be more suitable for us to camp, that is..."
< br>Wang Kaixuan couldn't bear to hear this kind of thing, and asked quickly: "I mean, brothers in the first year of junior high school, you can't show off at this time, what is it?"
The first year of junior high school showed a wry smile: "That's me. The place mentioned is inside Zanggugou."
"Can you tell me more specifically?" Chen Ziyan asked.
Chu Yi recalled it and said: "That was a cave I found when I passed by here ten years ago. The space inside is enough for us. If we can stay there, the impact of the wolf attack will be minimal."
"Brother Chu Yi, how far is the cave you mentioned from here?" Hu Bayi thought the cave mentioned by Chu Yi was good, so he asked.
"It will take about an hour to walk." Chu Yi said with some uncertainty.
But he was sure he could arrive within an hour and a half, otherwise he wouldn't have brought it up.
If you have to get to the place late at night, it’s totally not worth the gain.
At this time, Chen Ziyan thought of the wolf's den hidden in the bone ditch. Listening to Chu Yi's description, he always felt that it was very similar to the wolf's den in the original plot.
Wang Kaixuan was tempted and advised: "Master Chen, why don't we just go there, so that we can be more stable at night."
Others also agreed, although Enter Zanggu Valley, but an hour's journey is nothing.
Although it has been initially concluded that the strange things in Zanggugou are caused by wolves, they cannot completely confirm this guess, so it is naturally best to have a safe cave to live in.
Chen Ziyan was not a grumpy character either. When he saw that the others were showing signs of excitement, he immediately made a decision: "Then clean it up. Let's stay in the cave tonight that Brother Yi said. Overnight.”
In fact, he also thought this plan was good. After all, it was only a matter of time before he faced the wolves, so it was not a bad idea to clean the wolf dens in advance. The wolves staying in the wolf dens were a piece of cake for them.
Not to mention that even if you encounter a pack of wolves, with the cave as shelter, you no longer have to worry about the wolves disturbing the yaks.
After all, if you encounter a pack of wolves in an open area, even if you take careful precautions, the yak herd will inevitably be affected. This is something no one can guarantee.
Immediately, everyone no longer hesitated, simply packed up their things, and headed towards the depths of the Zanggu Valley under the leadership of Chu Yi.
The scene in the bone trench is even more desolate than the entrance. The white bones cover the entire ground. Walking on it, one foot deep and one foot shallow, makes you feel a little chilly in your heart.
Because he already knew the original plot, Chen Ziyan had been paying attention to the wild grass on the roadside, alert to the evil wolf that might jump out of it at any time.
But what he didn't expect was that on the first day of the new year, they did not take them to the wolf den in their memory, but stopped in front of a dead forest.
After carefully looking at the dead forest in front of me, Chu Yi began to explore the mountain wall behind the forest, and soon stopped at a place covered with vines and grass.
After he cleared some of the dead vines and weeds in front of him, Chen Ziyan and the others saw the outline of a cave entrance.
Everyone immediately stepped forward to help. After clearing away all the debris in front of the cave, they saw a dark cave entrance about as high as a person appearing.
Wang Kaixuan took a flashlight and took a look inside. When he found that he couldn't see the whole picture clearly, he threw in a cold firework: "Let the fat man see what's inside!"
With the help of In the light of Leng Yanhuo, everyone could completely see the entire cave in front of them. The size of the cave was indeed as stated on the first day of the month. Not to mention people like them, even if it was doubled, it would still be able to fit in it.
Although the cave has been abandoned for a long time, it is still clean. There is no mess inside, and everyone can use it after simply cleaning it up.
"Put the yak inside." Chen Ziyan thought for a while and said.
Although this is not a wolf den, you must be careful. It is not safe to leave yaks outside.
Everyone agrees with this proposal. Although the air circulation in the cave is slow and the yaks are inside, there will be some smell, but they all understand that this can protect the yaks. After all, everyone understands the importance of yaks.
