On a moonlit night in the grassland, Ye Qing walked in it alone, and the surroundings seemed a little indescribably empty.

In such an environment, if someone patrolled around here, then Ye Qing would definitely not run away, and he would definitely be discovered. The so-called wind-blown grass is low to cattle and sheep, which is also divided into seasons. In the grassland in winter, where there is still any wind and grass to see cattle and sheep, except for some dwarf grass and bushes, most of them have withered and yellowed. Fortunately, there is not much snow here in Humeng City, and the grassland is only covered with a thin layer of snow. Therefore, Ye Qing walked on it and did not leave many footprints.

After walking along the road for about twenty minutes, there were no accidents along the way, and Ye Qing felt a little at ease. However, as he had just turned over a small hill in front of him, a low beastly roar suddenly sounded in his ears. Ye Qing couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart, remembering the steppe wolf that the taxi driver said before, and the whole person immediately became vigilant.

Actually, Ye Qing didn't pay much attention to the taxi driver's words. Because this place is so close to the urban area of Humeng City, even if there are wolves on this grassland, it is impossible to forage in this place. It is important to know that wolves generally forage far from human living areas, and will only be slightly closer to human activities when food is scarce. And Humeng City is such a big city, how could the wolves get close?

However, this beast roar pulled Ye Qing back to reality. He immediately leaned his back against a boulder next to him, and turned his head vigilantly to look in the direction where the beast's roar had just come from.

This hill bag is an exception in this grassland, and there are big rocks everywhere, so it is also relatively good for Tibetans. The beast's roar came from behind a boulder on Ye Qing's left hand, Ye Qing waited here for a while, but still didn't see anything appear, but heard a low beast roar again.

Ye Qing listened carefully for the second time, and found that the reason why the beast's roar was low was not that the beast was hiding its tracks, but that the beast had no strength and couldn't make a louder sound at all.

This situation made Ye Qing feel a little at ease, this beast had no strength, so there was no threat. He took out Wu Hong's dagger from his body and slowly walked around the boulder, wanting to see what was going on with this beast.

Walking through this boulder, Ye Qing didn't see the beast, but he smelled a smell of blood. This smell made Ye Qing a little surprised, could it be that someone was victimized?

Ye Qing quickened his pace, went around the two boulders again, and finally found the beast that made the sound.

This is a wolf, a wounded wolf that is prostrate on the ground and can't even open his eyes. The smell of blood emanated from it, for its abdomen had a foot-long gye, and the blood stained the ground around it red. The reason why it roared low was not because it lacked strength, but because it was badly injured and was close to death.

Seeing that this wolf was injured, Ye Qing was not so vigilant. However, there are also some more questions in my mind.

In this grassland, the wolf should be regarded as a beast at the top of the food chain, and there are basically no animals on the grassland that can hurt the wolf. And this wolf was so badly injured, it must not be the result of being attacked by other beasts, that is, it must have been injured by someone. In other words, before Ye Qing, there were still people who passed by here and injured this wild wolf.

The person who can injure the wolf must be a warrior, there is no doubt about it. With the current situation in Humeng City, it would be normal for a martial artist to pass by here, after all, the matter of shooting the sun bow was enough to attract most of the martial artists in the world to come here.

It's just that what really made Ye Qing question in his heart was the situation of this wolf. Ye Qing didn't know much about animals, but he had lived on the border for five years, and there were many wild wolves in the jungle. Therefore, Ye Qing still has some understanding of wolf breeds. Seeing this wolf, he can still tell a little.

This wolf is not the steppe wolf that the taxi driver said, because this wolf is slightly larger, and the steppe wolf is not large. Moreover, the number of steppe wolves themselves is extremely small, almost extinct, and it is impossible for so many steppe wolves to live around Humeng City. This wolf, judging by its size and coat color, should have been a jungle wolf from somewhere else.

If this wolf is a jungle wolf, then the problem arises. The range of the timberwolf does not include the grasslands of the Mongolian region. Moreover, wolves will only migrate to a place that is relatively close to their previous living environment and relatively close to each other. And for a jungle wolf to migrate to the grassland in Mongolia, it is impossible for the spontaneous behavior of the jungle wolf, it is definitely a human factor, and someone has released the jungle wolf to the grassland in Mongolia.

Before, Ye Qing was still puzzled, how could there be wolves around such a big city as Humeng City? Now seeing this jungle wolf, he finally understood the reason, this is simply a human factor, someone deliberately released this jungle wolf around Humeng City. And the timberwolf is not afraid of people, and the place where it lives is relatively close to the crowd, which is also normal!

However, who exactly released these jungle wolves into the vicinity of Humeng City? You must know that if the wolves are too close to the human living environment, it will inevitably affect the human life. However, the people here in Humeng City did not expel these wolves from Humeng City, what is going on?

This is the first time Ye Qing has come to Humeng City, and it is also the first time to see the situation around Humeng City. To be honest, just by seeing this jungle wolf, his heart was full of doubts, and his intuition told him that there was definitely something wrong in this matter.

After careful analysis, the people who have the ability to herd so many wolves around Humeng City must not have small financial resources and strength, otherwise they will not be able to do it at all. Moreover, Humeng City is also the core of the Hongmeng Seven Rudders, and there are only a handful of people who can raise wolves here. Ye Qing could basically conclude that these wolves were either raised by the government to protect the grassland, or they were raised by the people of Hongmeng Qiru. Others, who dares to mess around on the territory of the Seven Rudders of the Hong League?

However, if the government had released wolves in order to protect the grassland, they would not have been released so close to the city. After all, it also has a big impact on human life. It can be seen that nine times out of ten, these wolves were freed by the people of Hongmeng's seven helms. It's just that why did the people of the Hongmeng Seven Helms do this? What is the meaning of releasing these wolves around the core forces?

Could it be that the people of the Seven Helms of the Hongmeng are planning to use these wolves to prevent outsiders from entering Humeng City? How is that possible? Ordinary people should at least drive when they enter the city. The one who really doesn't drive is at least a warrior, what threat can these wolves pose to a warrior?

Ye Qing's heart was full of doubts, and after pondering for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, the purpose of his coming here this time was to find Huangfu Ziyu, and he was not going to explore the secret of Hongmeng's seven rudders.

Walking to the side of the jungle wolf, Ye Qing bent down, wanting to see what kind of sharp weapon this jungle wolf was injured. However, when he carefully looked at the wound of the jungle wolf, Ye Qing's face changed suddenly.

The timberwolf has five wounds, and it looks like it was scratched by the sharp claws of some beast, not by a sharp weapon at all!

This situation made Ye Qing even more puzzled in his heart, could it be that this wolf was scratched by other beasts, not by people? However, how could this be possible? How could there be other wild beasts on the grassland, and the wolves rarely fought with each other, so what kind of animal was this wolf scratched by? Could it be that the people of Hongmeng Qiruo had raised other wild beasts on the grassland? This should not be enough, and releasing other wild beasts would inevitably affect the living environment here, and Hongmeng Qiruo would not do such a thing?

After carefully looking at the situation of the jungle wolf, as Ye Qing guessed, there were several other scars on its body, all of which were scratched by the claws of the beast.

Ye Qing stood next to him and thought carefully for a while, but he still couldn't understand what was going on. However, in the end, he gave up and continued to think, even if there were really any other large beasts, they would not pose much threat to Ye Qing. The last time he entered Beibi Mountain, Ye Qing even fought tigers, what other beasts, how many of them could be more powerful than tigers?

This jungle wolf was extremely injured, and before Ye Qing could see the wounds on its body clearly, its head hung to the side and died. Ye Qing couldn't save it, so he only sighed lightly, stood up and continued to walk in the direction of Burial Dragon Mountain. It's just that this time Ye Qing is much more vigilant, because he doesn't know what more powerful beasts are on this grassland, if he really wants to meet them, it will be troublesome.

Walking through this hill, there was no danger along the way. I also met a wolf halfway, but this wolf didn't get close to Ye Qing at all, and ran away from a distance.

Ye Qing saw it clearly, this wolf was the same as the wolf just now, it was also a jungle wolf, not a steppe wolf. It can be seen that his inference is correct, the wolves around Humeng City are simply artificially stocked, and it is likely that Hong Mengqiru did this.

Anyway, this wolf didn't come to attack Ye Qing, so Ye Qing didn't pay attention to this wolf and continued to walk in the direction of Burial Dragon Mountain. After walking about ten kilometers, Ye Qing came to the vicinity of a small hill. There are piles of rocks or dirt bags ten or twenty meters high everywhere, and there are about 100 of them as far as the eye can see, and it looks like a labyrinth.

There are not many high mountains in this grassland, and most of them are such stone mounds. Moreover, these stone mounds and dirt bags are often gathered, and Ye Qing has been used to walking for a while.

However, when Ye Qing had just stepped into the range of this stone mound of dirt, Ye Qing smelled a faint smell of blood.
