Chapter XXIV
"There are only two kinds of death I see, one is to follow one's own will and choose to face death, and the other is to turn one's back to death at a loss. If I'm going to die, I'll choose the first one. ”
In the end, Yan Xiao did not try to make up an answer that the old man might like to win the old man's approval, but really looked into his own heart to find the answer. After countless mixed thoughts, I finally found the answer that was closest to my heart.
When Yan Xiao said his answer, the soul sea became clear, and the aura that had been gathered for many days was also swept away, and there was a faint sense in the void above the soul sea.
After opening his eyes, Yan Xiao was refreshed for a while, and the scenery in front of him became green and vibrant, and even Yiyi looked more beautiful and cute.
"Hey, have we crossed the river?" Yan Xiao finally found out that the change in scenery was due to the fact that when he arrived on the other side of the river, Huang Ling on the side controlled Yu Ni and walked over, and seriously analyzed: "That old... Senior, he must be a master of the world, but it's a pity that I didn't understand his intentions, otherwise we would have gained a lot, hey, it's a pity. ”
Yan Xiao nodded noncommittally and asked, "Big head, have you also answered the question?"
"Answered, the old-timers asked me how many ways to die, and I said two kinds, one poisoned to death, and one burned to death, how simple is this, I woke up after answering, and woke up on this side of the river. What about you, why did it take so long?"
Yan Xiao pulled his lips and replied, "Almost, it's that I'm thinking too much." ”
Huang Ling didn't ask, pointed at Yiyi and said, "Have you noticed that Yiyi is more beautiful, it seems to have grown a little taller." ”
Hearing her name, Yiyi, who was frowning, didn't even say anything, but saw that Yan Xiao had woken up, so she went straight back to Yixiao's space, looking like she had something on her mind.
Yan Xiao didn't ask much, just thought that after absorbing so much energy, Yiyi had made some new discoveries.
After letting Huang Ling prepare to spend the night on the spot, he sat down and began to cultivate, consolidating what he had just gained, and striving to break through the secluded realm as soon as possible. After all, in this crisis-ridden black wood, one more strength is one more guarantee.
Only a few kilometers away from Yan Xiao and the others, in a dilapidated camp that had not been repaired for many years, a demon hunting team was repairing at this time. The team members around the campfire are celebrating today's harvest, happily drinking wine and chatting about the beautiful lady at home. The demon hunting team is from Zhang Village, and the person who leads the team is called Zhang Sai, who is a capable middle-aged man.
In the barracks in the center, a white-haired old man said in a burning voice: "Xiao Sai, although you are lucky this time, but as an elder, Song Bo still has to say a few words, you are too risky to do this today, in case of a mistake, the hope of the whole village will be gone." You have to remember, safety comes first!"
"Songbo, don't talk about it anymore, we all think that the captain is right, if it is a normal day, the captain is conservative, but in the current situation in our village, can we not take some risks? Besides, you see that these five wolf cubs are not worth hundreds of thousands of dollars when they are sold in the city. A young man next to him who was teasing the wolf cub said.
"Zhang Wu!" Zhang Sai glared at the young man, and then said, "Song Bo is right, safety first. "Songbo is reckless this time, don't worry, there will be no next time, we will leave for the village early tomorrow morning, you go to rest first." Then he turned his head and said, "Zhang Wu, you go to the treasury to see if there are any weapons available, and by the way, let the brothers stop drinking and stay vigilant." Zhang Quan, you go and inform the brothers on the sentry post, don't spare your soul power, I'll go for them in the middle of the night. ”
The people in the barracks left one after another, Zhang Sai took out the record and pointed to the old map to make a return route, and the five little wolf cubs with golden wings in the cage were "woo~woo~" non-stop, and on the high mountain not far from the barracks, several pairs of green eyes were staring at the lights of the camp from afar.
At midnight, Yan Xiao, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, was woken up by the sound of wolf howls one after another, and after distinguishing the lower position, he pulled the sleepy Huang Ling and touched it.
As the howling became more and more urgent, and the surrounding area of the camp was already full of fire, Zhang Sai silently counted the number of wolves while instructing the team members to refuse to set up defenses in the camp.
Zhang Sai's hand holding the knife was already sweaty, but he was still standing straight on the sentry platform, he knew that he must not panic at this time, and now he could only hope that the inventory in the camp could play some role, as long as he could hold it until dawn, he would still have a chance to break through.
"Brother-in-law, the ditch on the south side of the camp is blocked, and the oil can't get through. Zhang Wu, who hurriedly ran over, said loudly. Zhang Sai turned around to look at the situation in the south, and hurried towards the section of the canal. But after a few steps, he was stopped by an old figure, "I'll go!"
Zhang Sai said: "Songbo! It's too dangerous, you can't go. ”
Zhang Wu on the side said, "Why don't we put those five wolf cubs back?"
The old man turned around and looked at the wolves outside, and said, "It's useless, they didn't come here for rescue, the one you killed yesterday should be the she-wolf king of this area, they are for revenge, and they are also for the new king." ”
Sure enough, as Songbo said, four huge silver-winged demon wolves appeared in the four directions of the camp one after another, and they led the wolves to approach the ditch around the camp, and they could attack at any time.
Time was very urgent, Zhang Sai hurriedly said: "Songbo, you are old, it is more appropriate for me to go." However, Songbo did not give Zhang Sai a chance to continue pestering, and jumped up to the stone wall around the camp, the old man turned around and smiled, raised his head with his knife, and said, "Why? Look down on you Songbo? With that, the old man jumped off the stone wall, and the nearby demon wolf saw that someone had left the camp and quickly approached.
"Quick, cover Somber. ”
One by one, the energy feather arrows pierced into the huge bodies of those demon wolves, slowing down the speed of the demon wolves slightly, and Songbo quickly rushed to the blocked section of the canal, and a huge falling rock was scattered in the two-meter-wide channel, blocking the flow of the oil. Songbo stuck the Pu knife aside, hugged the boulder with both hands and was about to exert force, when he suddenly felt a strong wind in the sky.
"Beware!" the crowd on the low wall hurriedly reminded loudly when they saw the silver-winged wolf king dodging arrows in the air.
Songbo immediately rolled on the spot, dodging the wolf king's grasp, looking at the four deep scratches left on the ground, the old man was not shocked and laughed. "Hahahaha, brutes, let you see how powerful the old man is. As he spoke, he shattered his shirt.
I saw that Songbo's already shriveled muscles bulged one after another, and he strode forward and pulled out the Pu knife and pulled a knife flower. After casually slashing the two close-up demon wolves to the ground, he said: "The children are optimistic, these wolf cubs are fierce, but they are also stupid people who only know how to attack and not defend, as long as we are not frightened by it, we can send them to the west with a knife when we find the right opportunity." The old man actually killed the wolf while calmly talking to everyone about the teaching.
Seeing this, the trembling hands of the people who were already a little panicked became more accurate, and the hesitation in their eyes burned into a fighting spirit. And the wolf king in the air was also intimidated by the old man's breath, and he didn't dare to get close for a while, only commanding those ordinary third-order demon wolves to continue to attack the old man.
"Songbo is so capable of fighting, I will be reluctant to listen to him in the future. Zhang Wu on the stone wall said with wide eyes. What he didn't notice was that Zhang Sai, who was standing straight in front of him, had lost his eyes in tears.
