obligatory love

Snow night.

The thin figure hurried through the mountains and forests.He staggered, tripped over dead wood and rocks under the snow layer again and again, hurriedly stood up again and again and continued to run down the mountain, turning his head from time to time, looking behind him in panic.

The late winter night was really too cold, so cold that his hands and feet almost froze and he couldn't stop moving.The snow on the ground was as deep as his knees, and he could only run forward with one foot deep and one shallow foot, almost rolling and crawling, very embarrassed.

Suddenly, he bumped his foot against a hard object, and he panicked, trying to stabilize his figure, but the thick snow made his animal extremely clumsy, and he jumped straight forward.

His forehead hit the stone, and even the low temperature couldn't stop the warm blood from flowing out. At the last second when his consciousness disappeared, he saw a pair of dark green eyes with a fierce and probing light.

hiss--

Cheng Yuan frowned, forcing himself to wake up from his stupor, hearing the sound of arguing and occasionally howling wolves.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he was jumped by the huge wolf's head in front of him, and the snow-white teeth gleamed coldly, so frightened that he dared not move.

"woke up?"

Cheng Yuan looked around after looking for the sound, and saw a man in white standing beside him looking at him with soft eyes, even in this desolate cave, there was a sense of immortality.

Cheng Yuan froze and didn't dare to move, only nodded slightly as an answer.The man came over to help him sit up, brought him another bowl of water, and said, "You don't remember me?"

Cheng Yuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at this man's face carefully, but he couldn't remember when he had seen this man, so he just shook his head.

"Don't be nervous." The man put down the bowl of water in his hand and said with a smile, "Do you know where this is?"

Cheng Yuan quickly scanned the surrounding area and said briefly, "...the cave."

"To be precise, it's the back mountain where the wolves are." The man looked at him with a half-smile, and was about to say something when a man hurried over there, accompanied by an adult gray wolf.

It was a strong, tall man.According to visual inspection, he is two meters high, and he is still shirtless in such a cold weather. Plump muscles wrap his body symmetrically, and there seems to be infinite power faintly flowing under it.

But what attracted Cheng Yuan the most was that distinctive face.

This man has a face resembling a European, with deep eyes and a high nose. His silver-gray hair is naturally curly, cut short to the length of his shoulders, and messily pulled behind his head.

"Who allowed you to come?" The man's green eyes glanced coldly at the man in white.

This tone of voice caught Cheng Yuan's ears, but it surprised him.

The man's accent is very strange. Although there is no mistake in speaking, it seems very jerky and awkward.

The man in white was not afraid either, he smiled and bowed his hands respectfully and said "Wolf King", and Shi Shiran stood aside after the salute.

Wolf King... Cheng Yuan pursed his lips, carefully and cautiously looking at the man in front of him.He once imagined what the Wolf King would look like, but the facts were always beyond his expectations.

"Fox family?" The man walked up to him and asked.

Cheng Yuan shook his head.

"Tiger Clan?" The man took another step closer.

Cheng Yuan shrank back, shook his head, and nodded again.He also couldn't explain what he was.

"It's a little female from the tiger clan, who ran out secretly." The man in white who was shouted by the wolf king helped him out. "Master Wolf King, don't be so fierce, little females are very timid."

The wolf king gave him a squinting look, heaved a sigh of relief, and forced out an expressionless "kind and amiable" expression, "Why did you appear there?"

"I..." Cheng Yuan was startled when he opened his mouth.It was too cold in the cave, coupled with high mental tension, made his voice tremble unconsciously.

This kind of behavior was rightly considered to be the fear of the female, which made the wolf king relax a little bit by mistake.

"I...I want to escape."

"Escape?"

"Hmm...escape to collect herbs." Cheng Yuan whispered.

This is the line he discussed with Ning Luo.He pretended to be a female with a seriously ill child. Because the tribe lacked key medicinal materials, she risked her life and ran out to collect medicinal materials.

Just as Cheng Yuan was about to say this, he suddenly remembered what the man in white had just said, and changed the word "child" to "partner".

"Hahaha, isn't Suoke very brave, why is he still seriously ill?" The man in white laughed happily, but Cheng Yuan broke out in a cold sweat.

He really recognized himself, and was very familiar with his identity.

Fortunately, I didn't follow the original rhetoric, otherwise I would have been ruined long ago.

In this world where the husband is the heaven, it is reasonable for the female to do this, but the wolf king with keen intuition did not let Cheng Yuan get away with it easily.

"Sockel... I remember him." To Cheng Yuan's surprise, upon hearing this name, the wolf king did not grit his teeth, but praised him instead. "He is a very brave and intelligent warrior." Speaking of this, those dark green eyes suddenly raised, and Cheng Yuan was startled by the fierce light in them. "Such an important warrior is injured, and your tribe doesn't heal him?"

"They're all busy. The tribe is in chaos right now." Cheng Yuan thought about it. "It's too risky to go out to collect medicine. The tribe cherishes every orc now and is unwilling to send people out. I can only sneak out by myself."

"Master Wolf King," the man in white jokingly interrupted, "What are you worrying about? He's just a little female." The man shook his head with a smile on his face. "Would the Tiger Clan be so stupid as to think that one female can wipe out the two Clans of wolves and cranes? What a joke!"

Cheng Yuan didn't say a word, just stared at him warily.

This man was obviously helping him to speak, but it made him feel more frightened than the wolf king.

"If Lord Wolf King is really worried, you might as well leave him to us." The man in white said with a smile, "This will not only solve your worries, but also solve the important issue of our family's reproduction. It's the best of both worlds."

"I don't want it!" Cheng Yuan instantly understood the man's intention and shouted in shock. "I want to go back, I don't want to stay here!"

The man in white didn't care about his attitude at all, he just smiled and said, "Anyway, your partner is also seriously injured and will die soon, so what's the point of you going back?"

"Enough." The Wolf King said coldly, "He's already past the age suitable for pregnancy, it's useless for you to keep him."

"What's the matter?" The man shrugged his shoulders, "It's just that the probability is relatively low, but it's not impossible. There are so many warriors in my Crane Clan, there will always be one who will succeed."

Cheng Yuan was completely disgusted by this Crane tribe, so he blurted out, "I won't go to your place even if I die."

"Shut up." The wolf king looked bored, "I said, after the war, all the females in there will belong to you, I don't care. This, no." He lowered his head and said to the wolf that followed him, "Go and see, are you sure it's him?"

The wolf came closer to Cheng Yuan and sniffed carefully, then made a whining sound.Cheng Yuan resisted not dodging, looked carefully, and felt an inexplicable familiarity in his heart.

"You go."

"What?!" Cheng Yuan and the man in white said at the same time.

The wolf king ignored the man and said, "She said you saved her."

Cheng Yuan tried his best to recall, and a picture suddenly appeared in his mind, and he suddenly said, "Are you... that wolf?"

He remembered that when Ning Luo and Ning Luo picked ginger grass last time, they saved a wolf that was giving birth.

This is really... too coincidental.

Until he walked out of the cave and saw the dazzling sunlight again, Cheng Yuan still felt that everything was like a dream.

He imagined countless ways to escape, but he never thought that a wolf would personally send him out.

The female wolf sent him all the way down the mountain, stopped at the encirclement of the wolves and refused to leave again.

Cheng Yuan stood on the spot, his hands and feet were so stiff that he was at a loss.The she-wolf arched his legs with her wet nose, urging him to go quickly.

He was suddenly at a loss.

For a long time, deep in his heart, he has been unable to clearly distinguish the "human" and "beast" here. The existence of "orcs" broke down the barrier between the two races, making the two concepts blurred.He can only reluctantly think that those who can transform into human forms are "humans", and the rest are "beasts".

But today, or at this moment, he seems to understand another definition.

There may be no distinction between "human" and "beast" in this world. In this place of natural selection, humans and beasts stand on the same level. They compete with each other, compete with each other, and devour each other.They have become two evenly matched parties in the arena. If they win, they will live, and if they lose, they will die.

The values ​​of the past have no weight here.

In this world, there is nothing more serious and solemn than "survival".

Cheng Yuan's departure was carried out in secret, so except for a few insiders and the guards on duty that day, no one knew his whereabouts, including Sokel.

Therefore, when he appeared at the mouth of the cave, everyone who saw him was taken aback.

And Sokel, the young man who had been looking for him all morning, was only stunned for a second, then strode over and hugged him tightly.

"I'm so worried about you."

This word was taught to him by Cheng Yuan, and he didn't expect it to be realized so soon.

"I'm sorry." Cheng Yuan gently hugged him back.He could feel the trembling of the young man's body, as well as the choking in his voice that he was trying to hide.

His heart was poked hard twice today.The first time is like soaking in boiling water, and the second time is like soaking in warm water.

It seemed to him that it was difficult for him to harden his heart.

Even those who knew the truth were surprised that Cheng Yuan could come back with all his beard and tail so quickly. Even Ning Luo raised his eyebrows and said "speed".

Still in the familiar room full of herbs, Ning Luo nodded after listening to Cheng Yuan's experience, "Fate is really wonderful, you really are 'good people get rewarded'".

Cheng Yuan remained silent, and suddenly raised his eyes to look straight at Ning Luo, his face frosty, "Is it really fate?"

Ning Luo froze for a moment, then laughed, "Oh, why, do you still think it's my plan?" He pulled the quilt up and mocked, "Cheng Yuan, do you regard me as a god?"

"It was purely a coincidence that you saved that female wolf. How could I predict what happened today? What's more..." Ning Luo rolled his eyes like an idiot, "You are also lucky, if you find you It wasn't the female wolf or the wolf clan who knew you, maybe you would be dismembered on the spot."

Every sentence made sense, and Cheng Yuan couldn't find anything wrong with it after careful consideration, he just said, "That's all I remember. When they came out, they only took me along one road. I wonder if there is any other route to the central area." Not sure, but what is certain is that they are indeed concentrated in the center of the cave, and both the crane and wolf clans are there."

Cheng Yuan got up and opened the door and was about to leave when Ning Luo behind him suddenly said, "Can you bear it?"

Cheng Yuan was taken aback.

"Their cubs must be there too. If we rush in, we won't be able to keep the she-wolf and her cubs."

His answer was the door slamming shut.
