Volume 1 The Birth of a Young Man Chapter 14 Shadow Wolf
"The group with the highest points, the whole group will be qualified to enter the Spiritual Cultivation Academy! The second and third places will each get a ground level exercise!"
After Lin Tianan finished talking about the point reward, the audience instantly boiled!
As a neutral force, it can produce many masters that many countries compete for every year, and each country has to give the Spiritual Academy some face.
Located in the center of the continent, it is said that it controls several ancient seals, and there are many secrets hidden in the academy, which can be described as the most mysterious organization in the Cambrian continent.
Every country has the number of people who are qualified to enter the spiritual institute to study, and the biggest advantage of Baisha City, as a garrison city guarding the northern border, is that three qualifications are specially approved to enter the spiritual academy every year.
Lin Xiaoxi's three elder brothers have all been given the opportunity to study, although the eldest brother and the second brother have graduated and become the guards of the Northern Guardian Kingdom, Lin Xiaoxi naturally does not want to let go of this opportunity, and plans to go to the academy to reunite with the third brother!
At this time, Lin Qingyu and the three of them had already made preparations at this time, and as far as they could see, the number of people in the other groups was basically the same.
After the preparation of each group, Lin Tianan gave an order, the north gate of Baisha City was opened, and everyone was ready to leave the city!
At this moment, a familiar figure ran towards this side from a distance, and Lin Qingyu looked at it, and it turned out to be Aunt Li who was selling steamed buns.
At this time, Aunt Li did not put a smile on her face as usual, but looked worried.
"Aunt Li, what's wrong?"
Lin Qingyu hurriedly stepped forward and helped Aunt Li, who almost fell.
"Qing Yu...... Xiao Bao Ta ...... He's gone!"
Aunt Li couldn't help it at all, tears came out of her eyes, and she couldn't even stand up straight.
"Don't worry, tell me what's going on?"
"Xiaobao didn't come back last night...... Originally, I thought he was playing at a neighbor's house...... In the morning I went to look for ...... But I couldn't find it...... I'm afraid Xiaobao is out of town......"
Recently, there have been more and more rumors of wild beasts eating children outside the city, and many children have been missing in the city, but I didn't expect that Xiaobao, who is usually so well-behaved, would also go out of the city to play at this dangerous time.
Lin Qingyu felt that there might be something else wrong with this matter, so he could only figure it out after he went out of the city, but he still had to take care of Aunt Li first.
"Aunt Li, don't worry, we went out of the city this time to solve this problem, and I will definitely bring Xiaobao back to you!"
After speaking, he quickly asked the other guards to escort Aunt Li home.
Xiaobao also grew up watching Lin Qingyu grow up since he was a child, to say that other children can't control Lin Qingyu when they go out of the city to play, but Xiaobao is different.
Aunt Li and Xiaobao depend on each other, this child is the most obedient, and he is usually reluctant to leave half a step, let alone run out of the city to play without saying hello!
It seems that there is something else hidden in this missing child's incident!
At this time, the other groups were also ready, and they had already marched outside the city one after another, Lin Qingyu turned around and saw Lin Xiaoxi and Zhu Dafu waiting for him, so he hurriedly returned to the team and walked out of the city together.
"Brother Qingyu, was that Aunt Li just now?"
Lin Xiaoxi used to occasionally get up early with Lin Qingyu to eat steamed buns, but the number of times she went was relatively small, but she was also impressed by Xiaobao, a cute child.
"Yes, Aunt Li just told me that Xiaobao may also be out of the city. ”
Lin Qingyu told the two of them what he thought, and the two also agreed very much, especially Zhu Dafu, who was originally a civilian family, unlike the Lin family, who lived in a compound, but knew more about these market news.
"Brother Yu, I heard my mother say that the missing people are all seven or eight-year-old children who don't like to get together!"
Zhu Dafu scratched his head, he hadn't thought about this place before, but it happened that Lin Qingyu said this matter, and he remembered a little strangely.
"There are suddenly many wild beasts gathered outside the city, and there happen to be many children missing, could it be that someone deliberately led these beasts to eat children?"
Lin Xiaoxi couldn't figure out the connection.
As they spoke, everyone had already walked out of the territory of White Sand City, and in the area near the northern dividing line, there was a large forest, which was called the last line of defense of White Sand City because of the extreme cold.
The beasts were stationed in this forest, and the forest area was vast, and the deeper it went, the closer it was to the extreme cold, and the beasts inside became more ferocious.
Everyone had reached the outskirts of the forest, and seeing that it was almost dark, and the night was also the time when the wild beasts were infested the most, so everyone also gathered together and camped together, intending to spend the night and then disperse into the forest.
Lin Qingyu and Zhu Dafu also took out the tent prepared in advance, Lin Qingyu specially prepared a separate tent for Lin Xiaoxi, after all, there is a difference between men and women, the two worked together to set up the tent, and Lin Xiaoxi went to the nearby river to get some water.
After Lin Qingyu and the others set up the tent. Lin Xiaoxi had already lit the fire and set up a shelf to boil hot water.
After everything was ready, Lin Xiaoxi took out the dry food prepared by Mrs. Lin before leaving, and the three of them divided it and filled their stomachs together.
In the blink of an eye, night fell, and fires were lit by each group in the camp, and the beasts in general were more afraid of fire.
Lin Xiaoxi fell asleep first, Lin Qingyu and Zhu Dafu planned to take turns on duty, of course they can't be careless in this kind of place, if no one is watching, maybe they won't wake up again if they fall asleep!
Lin Qingyu was alone in the first half of the night, and the other two fell asleep in their respective tents, Lin Qingyu had a piece of grass in his mouth and lay on the grass with his head on his hand.
The sky here is much brighter than in the real world, the sky is full of stars, the fire crackles next to it, and the roars of beasts are heard from the depths of the forest.
"If only it could be like this forever. ”
Lin Qingyu especially likes this kind of environment, there is no restraint, except for some troubles, everything is quite satisfied.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound from the grass pile in the distance, and Lin Qingyu felt that something was wrong, so he immediately sat up.
Someone from the tent next to it also walked out, and it seemed that he was not the only one who felt this way.
Bai Jinchang heard a few low roars from the side, and he didn't care about it so much, so he lifted the wind knife and got out of the tent.
As soon as they got out of the tent, they collided with Lin Qingyu, looked at each other, and held their weapons forward.
"Did you hear that?"
Bai Jinchang opened his mouth first, in this environment, he didn't care if he was a mortal enemy, after all, they were all people from Baisha City, and they still had to work together to fight against the beast.
"It's a wolf!"
Lin Qingyu listened to this low roar, reacted immediately, and hurriedly rushed into the tent to wake up Lin Xiaoxi and Zhu Dafu.
The two had just been woken up and walked out of the tent with a dazed expression, but as soon as they heard the wolf's roar, they instantly came to their senses.
The other people in the tent also came out one after another, and one by one they took a defensive posture, ready to meet the attack of the wolves!
But the wolves lingered on the outskirts of the camp, roaring from time to time, as if waiting for something!
At this time, a fierce roar suddenly came from the distance, and a giant wolf as tall as a man walked out, it turned out that these wolves had been waiting for the wolf king!
"Shadow Wolf!"
Zhu Dafu exclaimed, he has liked to study spirit animals since he was a child, and he can know the types of spirit animals at a glance, but he has read them in books before, and it is the first time he has felt it so closely, and he has never felt it so closely!
"The Shadow Wolf, a first-level spirit beast, is good at group action, a large number of them, and has a special skill Shadow Claw, the claws are extremely sharp!
Zhu Dafu briefly explained the characteristics of the shadow wolf, and the other people on the side listened to it and secretly took a breath.
Don't look at this shadow wolf is only a mortal rank, but the wolves gathered in the distance are not thousands, but hundreds!
The shadow wolves rely on group combat, and the combat effectiveness of a single individual is not strong, but hundreds of them are gathered together, and even the earth-level spirit beasts may not be able to deal with them!
At this time, the wolf king in the distance raised his head and roared into the sky, and countless shadow wolves moved in an instant!
Everyone raised their spiritual weapons one after another, and it was only then that Lin Qingyu knew what Lin Xiaoxi and Zhu Dafu's spiritual weapons were.
I saw that Lin Xiaoxi's aura turned into a beautiful longbow, this bow has no bow and arrows, and it does use spiritual power as an arrow. Lin Xiaoxi pulled a full moon, and a spirit arrow shot quickly on the head of a shadow wolf in the distance, and the shadow wolf couldn't move at that time!
And Zhu Dafu on the side raised his hands, the aura wrapped around his arm, and a pair of silver gauntlets appeared in his hands, and with a few punches, the gauntlets bloomed with silver light, converging into a fist and hitting the shadow wolf!
Zhu Dafu is tall and big, and the shadow wolf was bounced off the moment he hit his body, and the whole wolf was directly pierced with one punch! The fist passed through the body of the shadow wolf, and continued to smash on the other body!
Lin Qingyu was not idle, summoning the Snow Shadow Sword to slash left and right, and one by one the shadow wolves fell under the sword.
Lin Xiaoxi hid behind Lin Qingyu to help him clean up the remaining shadow wolves, while Zhu Dafu had been by Lin Xiaoxi's side, protecting her from being close to the shadow wolves, and the cooperation of the three of them was extremely tacit.
At this moment, more than a dozen shadow wolves in a row pounced on Lin Xiaoxi, those wolves were also sane as spirit beasts, they knew that if they didn't solve this bow-wielding one, their losses would only be greater!
"Be careful!"
Lin Qingyu hurriedly reminded, but at this time, Lin Xiaoxi had no way to dodge!
At this moment, Zhu Dafu stepped out and blocked Lin Xiaoxi with his body, and his gauntlet blocked the bite of the shadow wolf!
But there were too many of them, and Zhu Dafu couldn't resist them all, only to see a few missing ones on the side suddenly stretched out the claws of the shadow, and the sharp claws slashed across Zhu Dafu's body, and a stream of blood spurted out instantly!
Lin Qingyu could only hurriedly return to help, and killed the wolves around Zhu Dafu with a horizontal sword, helping him resist the rest of the attacks!
"Are you alright?"
Seeing that Zhu Dafu was injured in order to protect himself, Lin Xiaoxi felt guilty and hurriedly asked.
"It's okay! My mother said, I have rough skin and thick meat, and I just want to stand in front of girls!"
Zhu Dafu turned around and smiled at Lin Xiaoxi, and hurriedly turned around to resist when he saw the wolves rushing out on the side.
These shadow wolves alone are very weak in terms of strength, and only a few of them are not to be feared at all, but this number is too large! Everyone was surrounded by water, and under the continuous attack of hundreds of shadow wolves, they were defeated and retreated.
"It can't go on like this!"
The shadow wolves in the distance are gathering more and more, and the attacks of the wolves are endless, and everyone's resistance will eventually be weak!
Lin Qingyu saw the wolf king standing on the stone in the distance, raising his head proudly, looking at the battle in front of him, with a look of contempt for all beings.
"Cover me! Kill the Wolf King!"
