Chapter Thirty-Eight: The King of the Snowy Plains
On the endless snowfield, deep and shallow ravines crisscross and crisscross the rugged snow trails, and there is no end in sight.
Dong Tu Nan sat on the back of the big dog, standing on this vast snowfield, the snow was scattered, he looked at the steep cliff in the distance, and sighed in his heart.
After the battle outside Yunxia Village, after the remaining injuries healed, Dong Tu Nan also relied on many treasures to successfully break through to the Ten Realms of Quenching Body, and he was only one step away from becoming a real source martial artist.
Thinking of coming all the way from Qianxue City this time, it was to go to Yunwu Mountain to find out the bandits, so as to find out the whereabouts of the villagers in Baihan Village.
But this has been delayed for more than half a month, and I don't know if the people from the government have rushed over, and whether they have carried out a clean-up operation against the bandits?
This is exactly what he is worried about, although it is said that they can exterminate the gang, but Dong Tunan still hopes that he will solve it himself, so that the news asked can be considered true. For the government, in fact, he doesn't trust much of it, and he always feels that their style of acting is too official, hidden and tucked, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
After this period of travel, Dong Tu Nan also gradually felt that he was getting closer and closer to the boundary of Yunwu Mountain, because, as he walked, he could see some faint and dense aura.
On this day, Dong Tu Nan finally arrived at his destination with a big dog and came to the foot of Yunwu Mountain.
"The topography here seems a little unusual. Looking into the distance, Dong Tu Nan stood on the edge of a cliff at the foot of the mountain and sighed.
Although it is already standing at the foot of the mountain at this moment, the altitude here is still terrifyingly high, directly forming a cliff, which rises abruptly on the vast plain, like a brokeback mountain.
"It's worthy of Cloud Mountain!"
Starting from the mountainside of Yunwu Mountain, a circle of mist rose up, like a condensed circular white ring, and surrounded this peak at once.
Looking up, the top of the Cloud Mountain is even more towering into the clouds, and it is impossible to see through the scene above with the naked eye alone, and under the clouds, only half of the mountain can barely be seen clearly.
"There seem to be traces of man-made in the front. Dong Tu Nan walked slowly along the mountain path up the mountain.
The snow that had accumulated over the years was so thick that it was impossible to get off the foot, and every step was to sink half of Dong Tunan's legs, and most of the exposed body was like a short-legged dwarf, climbing the mountain road, which was very funny.
It took him a lot of effort to find a place with shallow snow, but he suddenly found some traces of people.
On the flat snow-covered mountain road, the corners of the mountain on one side are covered with thorns, covered with layers of snow, and a gap between the gray-black dry branches below, under which the snow layer is the thinnest.
There is a faint footprint on the shallow snow, but with the surrounding wind and snow, it is gradually filled, and only when you get closer, you can observe the traces of this place.
Dong Tu Nan squatted down, stretched out his hand and pinched a finger of snow and sand on the footprints, it seemed that it had just fallen, and the footprints had not been able to be completely covered.
At this time, the wind and snow suddenly stopped.
The climate on the mountain is unpredictable, which makes Dong Tunan feel a little helpless, and sometimes things in nature are full of regularity, and sometimes there is no law to follow.
He straightened up, patted the big dog on the back with his hand, and led it on, stopping at intervals, and spotting human footprints among the thorns.
"It seems to be getting more and more disordered. Dong Tu Nan frowned, looked at the footprints on the snow, and whispered.
Looking up along the mountain road, there are some crooked marks all over the center of the snow track, which do not look like human footprints, but just hole-like marks, which seem to be left by some kind of animal.
Dong Tu Nan walked forward in surprise, looking at the dotted broken marks in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of animal trampled on them.
While he was thinking about it, the big dog suddenly said, "Master, this seems to be the footprints of the Cold Moon Star Wolf." ”
"Cold Moon Star Wolf?" Dong Tu Nan suddenly cheered up and asked.
"Well, they are usually found in extremely cold places, especially in such a high mountainous area, the cold moon star wolf is even more common. ”
"They love the cold and rugged environment, it can be said that the harsher the environment, the more obvious their survival advantage, here, such a steep snow peak, it is simply a place specially built for them, they are the king of this wild snowfield!"
The big dog quickly transmitted the sound while following the footsteps of Dong Tu Nan.
"There are creatures like this. Dong Tu Nan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Moreover, the Cold Moon Star Wolf is a mutated source beast, each of them has the strength of the Quenching Body Realm in their juvenile stage, high or low; as for each adult star wolf, they are all able to defeat the source martial artist; of course, the strongest of the Cold Moon Star Wolves belongs to their leader, the Cold Moon Star Wolf King, which commands all the Cold Moon Star Wolves in a region, and its own strength is also the most terrifying, and the average Source Martial Artist is not its opponent at all. ”
"Is it so strong?" said Dong Tu Nan with a little surprise.
"Not only that, although they are not physically strong, they are extremely fast, and in such an environment that is not conducive to action, they can rely on their extraordinary agility to walk on all kinds of terrain, and this is also the most difficult part of them. ”
During the transmission of the big dog, Dong Tu Nan had already come to a huge rock, and the cold wind was blowing on it, and the biting chill suddenly hit, so he couldn't help but choose to take shelter under the rock for a while, wait for the wind to recede, and then continue to go up the mountain.
The huge rocks are like two cliffs, standing steeply on the mountain road, and between the cracks in the rocks, there are gusts of cold wind whistling through, and Dong Tu Nan and the big dog leaned on the bottom, which could be dodged.
"Woo~"
Just as Dongtunan was about to rest, a loud beast howl came from behind the boulder.
"It's the Cold Moon Star Wolf!" Dong Tu Nan resisted the cold wind and cast his gaze out of the crack in the boulder.
Behind the terrain where they were located was a basin-like area, and at this moment, there were dozens or hundreds of silver-haired gray wolves on the ground.
As their name suggests, the Coldmoon Star Wolves are covered with silver-gray fur covering the surface of their bodies, and their soft fluff protects their body temperature, making them look very dazzling in the sunlight and snow.
A huge number of wolves occupied almost the entire snow area, the wolf's head sank, and a fierce gaze came out from between the eyebrows, forming an invisible sense of oppression.
They were all staring ahead, and on the snow in front of them stood an unkempt gray-clad man, his clothes ragged and his hair scattered, looking at the wolves in front of him with a tired expression.
Suddenly, there was a noise behind him, and the snow rolled and rolled in layers, suddenly stirring up a flurry of snow, sand and dust, and another group of fierce wolves surrounded him.
One after the other, they formed a circle, and the cold moon star wolves all over the mountains and fields gathered, roaring wolf howls in their mouths, raising their claws and constantly flapping on the snow, and their sharp teeth were also revealed.
The huge pack of wolves approached in perfect coordination, as if they had some kind of command, and surrounded the dejected man, leaving no hope of escape.
Above the snowy peak, a distant howl suddenly came, resounding in the empty snow valley.
Hearing the sound, Dong Tu Nan immediately looked up, his eyes were slightly condensed, his eyes were fixed on the place where the voice came from, and his face changed in an instant.
At the top of the steep peak, I saw a strong wolf shadow.
The star wolf was silver-colored, huge, far beyond the ordinary Cold Moon Star Wolf, on its huge wolf head, there were two long strands of golden hair growing next to the pointed ears, and in the middle of the forehead, there was also a conspicuous golden star-shaped mark, which was extremely domineering!
"That's... Cold Moon Star Wolf King!"
