For Xu Yun, perhaps the direction of the sled trail would be a safe place.
Compared to finding Jiuqian Xiu, it was equally important for Xu Yun to find a safe place to observe Gu Qiya's injury.
According to the footprints, there were at most two dogs. The speed of two dogs pulling the sled was not too fast, but even so, it was almost impossible for Xu Yun and the others to catch up. After all, although Gu Qiya's current situation could not be said to be difficult to move, her speed was indeed not fast enough.
Under such circumstances, Xu Yun and the others still insisted on continuing to track.
They did not know how far they had walked. When the sky began to darken, they suddenly found that there was a pine forest in front of them.
Because of the special environment of this place, or rather, the vegetation in all the extremely cold areas was mainly tundra. There were no deciduous trees or deciduous trees in other areas.
Of course, there were trees no matter how cold the place was. It was just that the trees in the cold Arctic grew very slowly. Some trees that were only two or three meters high might be more than three or four hundred years old.
It was also strange that the Arctic pine was here now because it was a kind of European red pine. This kind of tree grew in Europe, from Great Britain and the Iberian Peninsula in the west, to Siberia and the Caucasus Mountains in the east, and between Lapland in the north.
The sky was a lot darker. As soon as they entered the pine forest, the trail of the sled was even less obvious.
Xu Yun and the others tracked all the way and finally got something. Suddenly, there was a dog barking in the depths of the pine forest. The dog's nose was quite sensitive. Even though it was so cold here, they could still smell the smell of other species.
Lin Ge's eyes lit up when he heard the dog barking. He looked back at Xu Yun and waited for Xu Yun to give orders.
Xu Yun nodded and motioned for Lin Ge to speed up immediately to see what was going on.
Lin Ge rushed out directly without looking back. He finally had a chance to release the suffocation along the way. He would never miss this opportunity. He must catch Jiuqian Xiu!
After Lin Ge rushed out, Xu Yun also carried Gu Qiya on his back. "You'd better not get off the ground as soon as possible. We've already caught up with them. You don't have to worry."
Gu Qiya heaved a sigh of relief.
The barking in the distance became louder and louder. They seemed to have sensed Lin Ge's approach, so they kept reminding their owners.
The old man with the goatee and big nose looked back at the pine forest with a serious expression. He knew that his dog wouldn't bark for no reason. There must be some danger.
Now, there were not only deer and cows in the pine forest, but also polar bears, so he was a little worried that he had encountered a dangerous guy.
Another possibility was the arctic wolves. These white wolves were much more powerful than grey wolves. They could be said to be members of the largest wild canine family in the world. Therefore, his worries naturally existed. Moreover, wolves were pack animals.
Compared to encountering a pack of arctic wolves, the locals would rather encounter a polar bear.
No one knew the arctic wolves better than the people in the arctic. The arctic wolves had terrifying endurance, and they could adapt to long-distance migrations that were longer than normal grey wolves.
These Arctic wolves had narrow chests and strong backs and legs, which made them very efficient in maneuvering. When they were chasing prey, they could increase their speed to close to 70 to 80 kilometers per hour! When sprinting, the distance of each step could be as long as five to six meters! It was comparable to the speed of a car.
Their teeth were very sharp, which was very helpful for them to hunt prey with thicker subcutaneous fat in cold areas!
One had to know that the arctic wolves were creatures that had survived the ice age. They were very resistant.
As the two Alaskan dogs barked louder and louder, the old man picked up the shotgun in his hand. He really thought that they were surrounded by wolves because the barking of the two dogs made him a little worried.
However, a figure flashed through the pine forest in front of him. The old man raised the shotgun and aimed!
But the figure was no longer there. The two dogs suddenly started barking at the old man. The old man was so scared that his scalp went numb. He quickly turned around!
But his shotgun was grabbed by someone.
Lin Ge grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "A friend is coming from afar. You shouldn't aim with a shotgun, right?"
The old man was stunned.
He suddenly let go of the shotgun in his hand and said a string of words to Lin Ge that Lin Ge couldn't understand.
"Ah?" Lin Ge was stunned. The two dogs were still barking at him!
Lin Ge couldn't hear what the man was saying to begin with, but the two dogs kept on causing trouble. How could Lin Ge not be angry? He glared at them and roared at the two dogs, "Stop f * cking barking! If you call me again, I'll kill you and make you into hotpot! "
With this roar, the two dogs were directly stunned by Lin Ge's momentum.
After all, dogs were animals. The sixth sense of animals was much more sensitive than humans. They seemed to be able to understand Lin Ge's words. They seemed to feel that they were not Lin Ge's opponent, and the gap was quite huge. They didn't need to fight at all, so they obediently lay down with their tails between their legs and their ears drooping.
Once the dogs made this kind of action, there were only two possibilities. One was that they were afraid, and the other was to express their obedience. The two dogs had already felt very uneasy. They were afraid of Lin Ge, so now they only hoped that their owner would take them away. They didn't have the courage to bark again.
The dog stopped barking, but the old man was still mumbling something.
"Don't give me this. I know who you are. You can understand what I'm saying!" Lin Ge believed that this guy was Jiuqian Xiu. He deliberately pretended not to understand anything.
The old man shook his head, raised his hands, and kept talking. It seemed that he was begging for mercy.
F * ck! Is he really not Jiuqian Xiu? Lin Ge looked at the old man in front of him. His nose was so big, and his eyes were quite small. He really looked like a local who lived in the Arctic, so Lin Ge's mind went blank.
Lin Ge removed the bullets from the shotgun and threw it on the ground.
"I'm telling you. If you are Jiuqian Xiu, admit it immediately. If I find out that you are fooling me, I will definitely teach you a lesson." Lin Ge warned, "Jiuqian Xiu, we spent so much effort to find you. We have very important things to do. Do you understand?"
The old man still shook his head and said something to Lin Ge that Lin Ge couldn't understand at all.
No way … Lin Ge was really unhappy. If this grandson is really not Jiuqian Xiu, wouldn't they have played in vain?
"Okay, okay. Don't talk about your stupid language. I can't understand it." Lin Ge waved his hand impatiently, "You stay here honestly. When someone comes, they will naturally recognize you."
Lin Ge was not sure if the other party had a gun, so he did not relax his vigilance.
Within a few minutes, Xu Yun caught up with Gu Qiya on his back.
"Brother! I can't understand what this guy is saying. Is he really Jiuqian Xiu? Maybe he is pretending to be a grandson. "Lin Ge said angrily.
Gu Qiya was carried down from Xu Yun's back and was helped forward by Xu Yun.
She looked at the old man in front of her and shook her head, "No."
The old man looked at the three of them at a loss and continued to say something that they couldn't understand at all. The language here was too niche. Even Xu Yun couldn't understand it, so the three of them were all puzzled.
"Mister Jiu is proficient in disguise." Xu Yun said to Gu Qiya, "Are you sure you can recognize him?"
Gu Qiya couldn't help but frown. She looked directly at the old man in front of her, "If you are Jiuqian Xiu, look at me carefully. Do you still recognize me? Although we haven't seen each other for many years, and I look different than before, you have lived in my house for so long. It's impossible that you don't have any impression of me."
The old man stared at Gu Qiya in a daze.
"I am Gu Qiya. You can't forget." Gu Qiya said, "My father is Gu Guolong. You told him after you came here! I know that you don't want to be disturbed by anyone, and I know that you have paid off the favor you owe our family. But I came here to find you for a very important matter. We need your help! I hope you can help me for the sake of the previous face. "
Speaking of this, Gu Qiya stopped.
After a pause, she continued, "If you are Uncle Jiu, I beg you to tell me who you are. Really, I won't look for you if it's an ordinary matter. This is a very important matter, very, very important matter."
