Chapter 24: The Valley of the Wild Wolves

As soon as the sky dawned, the middle-aged man woke up early, led Long Zun and Zhuzi to leave the stream where they were resting, and went straight to the deeper part of the forest.

"Second uncle, we don't seem to be going in the right direction, this road is not the direction we used to take. The pillar at the end of the line said suspiciously.

"Well, this time let's go to the Wolf Valley, and we won't go to the previous forest. The middle-aged man waved the machete in his hand, struggling to cut the rattan and the entwined grass in front of him, "Pay more attention to safety, we have entered the old forest." ”

Long Zun silently recited the name of the Wild Wolf Valley, slowed down his legs, leaned over to the pillar and asked in a low voice, "Where is the Wild Wolf Valley?"

The pillar pulled out his machete, cut off a branch that happened to be hanging on him, and wiped the sharp blade twice with his cuff.

"There is a valley in the depths of Daqing Mountain, in which wolves are often infested, and over time, the hunters call that place the Wolf Valley. "You have to keep up with us, it's no better here than outside, and it's easy to lose your life by accident." ”

Long Zun nodded to show that he knew, and then asked, "Have you ever been to Wild Wolf Valley? What is it like?

Worried that the pillar didn't know what the elixir was, he deliberately used the medicinal herbs that ordinary people only eat when they are sick to describe the elixir.

"Ahem. Zhu Zi coughed dryly, raised his nostrils, and said: "If you think of hunters like us for generations, don't talk about Wild Wolf Valley, even the deeper part of Daqing Mountain has also been there." ”

"What are you two muttering? Why don't you hurry up, we're going to get to Wolf Valley by the afternoon." The middle-aged man seven or eight meters away turned around and saw that Long Zun and Zhu Zi had not followed, and stood in the distance and shouted.

"Let's go, the second uncle called us. The pillar greeted, and with a machete in his right hand, he walked around Long Zun and chased after the middle-aged man a few meters away.

Long Zun, who still had unfinished asking questions, had to catch up with him......

Long Zun, who walked along the path cut out by the machete and went deep into the forest, only felt that the farther he went, the softer the soil mixed with dead branches and rotten leaves became, and he stepped on it with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

It was quite easy for him to walk such a path as a cultivator, but he could lead the way in front, and the speed of the middle-aged man wielding the machete in his hand had obviously slowed down, and it took him a long time to walk out of a few meters.

When the sun was in the sky, the sunlight revealed through the cracks in the canopy, and after walking all morning, Long Zun estimated that a few of them would walk two or three miles.

The road under his feet is difficult to walk, there is no road ahead, and along the way, it is all up to two middle-aged men and pillars to take turns to cut a mountain road for one person to walk over.

There were a few times when Long Zun wanted to help, but he was all rejected by the middle-aged man, let him follow behind with peace of mind, it was Orion's business to open the way, and it was not too late for him to take action when he encountered danger.

"Be careful. After walking some distance, Long Zun suddenly shouted, his right wrist flickered, and a silver light flashed, snapping, and stuck to the trunk of a large tree in front of the right side of the pillar.

The pillar that was slashing the vines on the road with his knife was startled, and the machete in his hand almost fell off his hand and fell to the ground.

The middle-aged man glanced at the dagger stuck in the trunk of the tree and said, "Pillar, tell you to be careful, you just don't listen, if it wasn't for the little brother just now, I'm afraid you will die at this time." ”

The pillar looked at the middle-aged man with a bewildered expression, and then looked in the direction where the silver light flashed.

Only then did he notice that there was a poisonous snake with a black back and blue flowers lying in front of him, the snake body was tightly attached to the trunk of the tree, and a dagger was tied to the snake's head, and a few drops of snake blood dripped down from the dagger blade.

Seeing a layer of cold sweat on the back of the pillar of the poisonous snake, he knew the dead poisonous snake in front of him, the black widow was the name of the poisonous snake in front of him, the snake venom was violent, and it was too late to save the person when he was bitten by it, and the person would die soon.

"Thank you...... Thank you!" the frightened pillar turned his head away, and stammered a little to thank Long Zun.

"Alright, you follow behind, and I'll do the rest. The middle-aged man pulled the pillar behind him, let him stand with Long Zun, and he stepped forward to continue chopping down the various branches and vines that blocked the way.

Since encountering the poisonous snake of the Black Widow, the dragon venerable and the others had a smooth journey, and soon came to a low-lying grass.

"Ahead is the Wild Wolf Valley, let's rest here and then move forward. The middle-aged man stopped, turned to Long Zun and Zhu behind him.

Long Zun stood next to a large tree, turning his neck to look around.

The environment in front of me is obviously much stronger than before, and there are not so many ancient trees, vines and bushes around.

Beneath his feet was a thick layer of grass, the highest point above his knees, and beyond that were two large stones more than a man high side by side, and the remaining clearing was a patch of grass that was distinct from the woods behind him.

The pillar helped the middle-aged man cut down a piece of grass with a machete in his hand, and carried it to the stone to spread a thick layer around it.

The middle-aged man beckoned Long Zun and the pillar to sit down, and then he cleared a piece of grass, spread it next to another stone, and sat down with his back against the stone.

"Second uncle, wasn't the place where we hunted in the past very good, why did you come here in Wolf Valley. The pillar put down the kettle in his hand and said.

Long Zun, who was sitting next to him, clearly felt that the pillar's body was trembling slightly when he said the words Wolf Valley, and no matter how stupid he was, he could guess that the pillar was afraid.

The middle-aged man looked at Long Zun, who was sitting behind the pillar, and replied: "There are many prey here in Wild Wolf Valley, and fighting for one day is comparable to several days of effort elsewhere, and the two of us will strive to go back before the old lady of the Li family celebrates his birthday, so that the prey can be sold for a good price." ”

Long Zun, who was carrying the invitation card given to the Long family by the old lady of the Li family in his arms, knew very clearly that seven days later would be the day of the Li family's big birthday.

When he heard the middle-aged man say this, he knew that he could stay in Daqingshan for a maximum of six days, and he couldn't stop the middle-aged man's uncle and nephew from going back because he wanted to find the elixir.

Zhuzi asked tentatively: "Second uncle, don't you often say that wolves often haunt the Wild Wolf Valley, just the three of us really want to encounter a bigger wolf pack, and we can't run away, or let's go back to the forest before." ”

At this time, the middle-aged man also understood that the pillar was afraid, and said with relief: "Don't worry, the second uncle will come to the Wild Wolf Valley once or twice a year, and with the second uncle here, he is not afraid to encounter wolves." ”

It seemed that the middle-aged man's words of relief had an effect, and the pillar no longer continued to persuade the middle-aged man to leave, but the machete in his hand was always firmly in his hand.

"Scared, didn't you say you've been to Wolf Valley?" Long Zun said jokingly as he pushed the pillar on the shoulder with his hand.

Unexpectedly, the pillar seemed to be stimulated, and he stood up suddenly, holding the machete tightly in his hand, looking around nervously, and kept saying, "What's wrong?"

After a while, he reacted, glared at Long Zun fiercely, and said, "When did I say that I had been to Wild Wolf Valley, I was talking about my second uncle and those old hunters. ”

With that, he relaxed, and sat back down on the grass, but the bow and arrows leaning against the stone were placed in a convenient position at his hand.
