After walking for five days, Gu Xiaowu's oxcart finally became faster, the reason was that Gu Xiaowu had almost comprehended the ground stabbing technique, and he immediately tried to use it on the cart against the grass on the side of the road. As the name suggests, the ground stabbing technique is a spell that uses mana to turn the soil on the ground into hard and sharp spikes that stretch out from the surface, looking like a thorn has grown on the ground, and is a spell that has an effect on both defense and attack. After a day of practice, he was finally able to gather a thorn from the ground, but it was only half a foot long and had to be within a foot of himself to be successful, and the power was not as hard as a stone, and it could only scare the stupid cow.

In the next few days, Xiao Wu gave up the cultivation of the exercises, but concentrated on practicing the earth stabbing technique, and only when most of the mana was consumed did he swallow three elixirs to run the exercises to refine the spiritual power. In this way, it didn't take seven days, the earth thorn technique was finally mastered by him, both the casting distance and the power were a lot stronger, and through continuous practice, the time he used to cast spells was also shortened by half, according to his own estimates, as long as he continued to practice for another month and a half, he could barely have six or seven of the power on the talisman, and he could give up practicing this technique first and look at other spells.

At noon on this day, Gu Xiaowu came to the vicinity of a small town in an ox cart, and then he was about to enter the town to inquire about the distance behind, but when he entered the town, he was completely dumbfounded. The town was in a mess everywhere, but there was not the slightest movement in broad daylight, and the slightest smell of blood could be smelled in the air, and it was clear at a glance that the town had undergone a brutal bloodbath. Xiao Wu looked at both sides of the street and found that most of the houses were in good condition, only the doors and windows were ruthlessly torn apart, and there was no trace of human beings in the house except for blood stains all over the ground, not only people, but also those domestic animals raised by farmers. Xiao Wu also found a lot of paw prints on the side of the blood stains, at a glance he knew that there were several wolves who had been here, and picked up a fragment of the door panel, but also found that there were several deep scratches on it, from the situation of the blood stains drying up, the disaster here had been three days ago, he walked back and forth in the town twice, and did not find the breath of the living, the people here were either all eaten or left this place early, but Xiao Wu thought that moving away from this place was the most likely, after all, there were five hundred people in this town, It can't all go into the wolf's belly.

But to the surprise of Xiao Wu, the two villages he passed by in the next three days also looked like they had suffered a catastrophe, and they couldn't find a single living person, which was too unusual, he immediately thought of the county town emergency order issued by Zhengyang City, could it be that the same group of demon wolves attacked the village? It's hard to survive mortals.

Gu Xiaowu immediately realized the danger that he might encounter in front of him, he seemed to be getting closer and closer to the group of wolf demons, but the city lord's mansion released the news that it didn't mean that the group of demon wolves was in the Broken Sword Cliff thousands of miles north of Zhengyang City, why did a wolf pack also appear in the west, and it was already slaughtered not too far from the county town, this county town wouldn't misplace the news, right? He didn't dare to go on, if he was not careful, he would stupidly break into the area of influence of the wolves without knowing it, so he immediately turned the ox cart and changed direction, rushing towards a small county town that should not be too far from here. The county seat is a small jurisdiction below the county seat, which does not have the slightest protection like villages and towns, but is guarded by magic circles and mortals, and has a population of about 10,000 people.

This county town was indeed not disturbed by the demon wolves, but Xiao Wu arrived near the county seat only to find that countless torches were lit on the city wall that was not high at the moment, a pair of soldiers walked back and forth on the city wall, and there were more than a dozen guards standing at the small city gate, looking like the whole city was on guard. He secretly congratulated himself on his wisdom and followed a wave of fleeing people into the county seat, as soon as he entered the inside, he was blocked by several soldiers and asked about its origin, Gu Xiaowu lied that he was a stranger passing by to visit relatives, and the soldier did not suspect him at all but informed him that the city implemented a night curfew, and he could only stay in the house at night.

Gu Xiaowu found an inn to live in, and found that the people in the city were not nervous because of the city defense, even if the news of the wild wolf slaughtering the village was spreading, few people really thought that the county seat could be attacked. He plans to stay in this small county for a day to see the situation, and by the way, collect information about the wolves to see how to avoid this group of demon wolves.

But that night, Gu Xiaowu, who was still meditating and cultivating with his eyes closed, suddenly heard the sound of a wolf howling, and suddenly opened his eyes and walked out of the guest room. At this time, many residents who had fallen asleep were also woken up by the louder and louder wolf howls, and they lit candles one after another, and although there was some horror on their faces, they were not very panicked.

Gu Xiaowu felt that the situation was wrong, the sound of this demon wolf had a kind of heart-shaking power when he heard it, could it be that this group of demon wolves still wanted to attack the county seat? When Xiao Wu used the invisible charm to appear on the city wall, he found that the city wall was surrounded by dense blue light, which was the fierce light released by the eyes of the demon wolves. He couldn't help but have his hair standing up, how could there be so many demon wolves, this is different from the demon beasts recorded in the classics, and it is difficult to say whether this small county can be saved.

At the same time that Xiao Wu was thinking about it, the wolves also began to launch an invasion of the county seat, and the demon wolves with blue eyes and body length and blue bristles all over their bodies just jumped slightly and climbed the two-zhang high city wall, and before those soldiers could react, they had already bitten their throats. And to Xiao Wu's surprise, they were so light that they didn't make much movement even if they climbed the city wall, but those struggling soldiers were shouting non-stop, this demon wolf was too terrifying to believe, and the breath on their bodies was obviously breathing seven or eight layers.

It didn't take a few breaths for the wolves to enter the city, Xiao Wu didn't even have the courage to block it, he hid in a corner of the city wall and trembled, why hasn't the city protection circle been opened at this time? He also tried to rescue the mortals nearby, but as soon as he made a move, he was surrounded by five demon wolves, so he had to retreat to the corner of the city wall and open the five-colored umbrella to protect himself.

At this moment, the spiritual light fled from a place in the city, and there were other monks hidden in this county, but these flying magic weapons controlled by the spiritual light had not risen very high, and several loud wolf howls rang out, and a few cyan pillars of light shot out, and a single shot knocked the scattered monks to the ground. After Gu Xiaowu saw this scene, he completely lost the mind to resist, and directly used the earth line talisman and escaped from the county seat, he did not discern the direction, only carefully drilled out of the ground before the power of the earth line talisman was consumed, and lifted the spell effect of the earth line talisman.

At this time, it was still the second half of the night, although the earth talisman could pass through the underground unimpeded, but the speed was not fast, he only sneaked underground for two hours before exhausting the power of the talisman, estimated that this place is not too far from the county seat, and it is not a safe place, a little discerning the direction, and found that he was actually in the northeast of the county at this time, and it was a little difficult to continue to move towards Fenggu City, after all, the front was full of traces of demon wolves, and now only returning to Zhengyang City first is the safest way.
