Chapter 6: Something Happened

Early the next morning, Meng Yun and the strange turtle got up early in the morning, and after eating something, they thought about going down the mountain.

The reason why he walked in a hurry was because the strange turtle said that the village he was going to was very far away, and the mountain road was not easy to walk, and it was about six hours to get to the place before dark.

The mountains are densely wooded, shrubs and rocks, and there is only a trail leading down the mountain, but the road seems to have been untraveled for a long time, and it is overgrown with thorns and weeds.

Meng Yun walked in front of him to open the way, talking to the strange turtle from time to time, "How did the Wizard Qi send me here to explain to you in the first place?"

"Say you're a very important person, let me save your life," the strange turtle swept away the broken branches that fell on his head.

"What else?" Meng Yun nodded and asked again.

"And he came to give you food yesterday, and asked me to give you the Blood Muscle Pill," the strange turtle thought for a moment and said.

"Gone?" Meng Yun asked, looking back and raising an eyebrow.

"No," the strange turtle confirmed that nothing was missing.

"My name is Meng Yun, what's your name?" Meng Yun suddenly remembered that they had known each other for so long, as if they had never reported each other's names.

"I don't have a name, it's something you humans can only use," the strange turtle said with some nonchalant.

"It's strange to say, but it makes sense, how did you learn my language?" Meng Yun asked again.

"Haha, not only can I learn your language, but if I want other races to learn it, believe it or not?" said the Strange Turtle with a smirk of smirk.

"Awesome, how far is it to get there?" Meng Yun turned his head and gave a thumbs up, and turned his head to look up at the sun on the horizon, seeing that the sun was about to set.

"It'll be there in the evening," said the strange turtle.

Meng Yun nodded and didn't speak, there was no way out at all, and he didn't know how the Wizard Qi passed.

After walking for a few more kilometers, bypassing a few ravines and burrowing out of the dense forests of the mountains, the thorns and bushes in the woods were reduced, and the road ahead was much smoother.

In the evening, a lake appeared in front of me, not very large, about a radius of a few miles.

The lake is quiet and deep, and there are suspected fish swimming and rippling near the shore.

"I'll wash my face later," Meng Yun said and walked towards the lake.

"Can't go," the strange turtle hurriedly stopped him.

"Why can't you go?" Meng Yun asked, turning his head.

"Let's get out of here first," the strange turtle said, turning around and walking east.

Meng Yun hesitated for a short time and then followed, walking eastward, obviously to avoid the lake from a distance, and in doing so, there was undoubtedly something terrible in the lake, which made him suddenly puzzled.

After walking away, Meng Yun finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, "What's in the lake?"

"A snake that has lived for more than five hundred years," the strange turtle said casually.

"Huh?" Meng Yun was momentarily dumbfounded after hearing this.

The snake should mean a water snake, and what is even more exaggerated is that this snake has lived for five hundred years, what does this have to look like? It's terrifying to think about, but fortunately he didn't jump recklessly at that time, otherwise when he washed his face, he would have served the monster as a snack by the way.

More than ten minutes later, the sky was completely dark, Meng Yun looked up at the endless woods, and instantly felt a little bored, "How far is the village?"

"You can get around the lake," said the strange turtle.

Meng Yun frowned and stopped when he heard this, "It's so close, how can the villagers let this monster live here?"

"Who said that the demon must be eliminated?" said the strange turtle with a look of disdain on his face.

"Wouldn't it harm people?" Meng Yun couldn't help but be a little suspicious, the monster could actually live in harmony with humans.

"This guy wouldn't be alive if he harmed anyone," the strange turtle dodged away from him and continued to walk forward.

About seven o'clock in the evening, the two of them came to the low hill in front of them, and stood on the top of this hill and looked into the distance.

Just four miles to the southwest, there seemed to be a faint sign of fire, "Is the other side where the fire is going to be?"

"Something seems wrong with this fire," said the strange turtle, a little confused.

"What's wrong?" Meng Yun just finished speaking for less than a few seconds, and he almost noticed the abnormality, these fires were inevitably too big, the whole scene was full of flames, it didn't look like a fire at all, but like a fire, "The fire seems to be getting bigger and bigger!"

You must know that it just rained yesterday, and tonight it happened to be windless, and it would definitely take a lot of effort to light such a big fire, and the only explanation is that something was wrong.

"Oh, something happened, I'm afraid the old man is busy," the strange turtle said with some emotion.

"Where is this wizard surnamed Qi?" Meng Yun hurriedly turned his head to the strange turtle and said.

"Yes and no," the strange turtle said inexplicably.

"What does this mean?" Meng Yun was a little confused.

"Old man Qi is the great wizard of the Qingyang clan, but he doesn't have the surname Qi, Qi is his name," the strange turtle corrected again.

"How serious do you think the situation is, and can the Wizard Qi handle it?" Meng Yun hurriedly asked again.

"It's hard to say, this old nest has been ordered," the strange turtle said with some uncertainty.

"No, I have to take a look," Meng Yun suddenly felt a little anxious in his heart.

This guy is very reasonable, the village has been set on fire, which shows that the village has no ability to resist at all, otherwise it would not have burned so badly.

"What are you going to do?" the strange turtle called out to him, "If Old Man Qi can't cope with it, you will also be sent to death if you go." โ€

"It's okay, I'll go to the front to see the situation, didn't you say that the wizard saved me earlier, if I have the opportunity, I can help," Meng Yun really doesn't know much about wizards, and he doesn't know what they are capable of, but if it is on the battlefield, compared to ordinary people, the professional soldiers who have the greatest chance of survival.

"Okay, Uncle is too lazy to persuade you, you can go if you want, live and die," the strange turtle turned his head and walked back after speaking.

"Why are you going?" Meng Yun was a little confused by its actions.

"Go back to sleepโ€”" The strange turtle had already walked away when he spoke, and seeing its back gradually disappear, Meng Yun touched his head in embarrassment and turned to go down the mountain.

The night gradually deepened, and without the help of night vision equipment, it had a great impact on his vision, but the special forces were extremely adaptable to the environment.

Walking quickly through the woods, in less than two minutes, his eyes were adjusting to the night environment, and he could barely see at night.

As he approached, a figure shook in the forest in front of him.

Meng Yun slowed down as he held the woodcutter, and as the two sides continued to get closer, he quickly saw the other party's appearance clearly, a young man with staggering steps and covered in blood.

Judging from the other party's clothes, this person was similar to the few people he met in the cave, and when the other party was about to fall, Meng Yun hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Hey, don't faint first-"

The other party didn't wait for him to finish, he fell into his arms, and immediately fell unconscious.

Meng Yun quickly checked the other party's injuries, in general, large and small wounds were all over the body, with the shoulder and leg injuries being the most serious, both of which should be sharp injuries, the wounds were narrow and long, and the bleeding was nonstop.

After Meng Yun simply dealt with the other party's injuries, he dragged the person to the bottom of the slope ten meters away, next to an old locust tree with a crooked neck, to stop the bleeding, and this person had hope of survival.

After settling this person, Meng Yun continued to walk more than 500 meters, and a village appeared in front of him.

Most of the village had been engulfed in flames, but the view from this position was not good at the moment, so Meng Yun turned around the back of the village and stopped two hundred meters away from the village.

The houses burned by the fire are mainly on the south side and the east and west sides, and the houses on the north side of the village are relatively well preserved.

While he stopped to watch, people kept running out of the path behind the village, and almost all of them were women and children, and they were frightened and panicked as they fled.

Meng Yun hid in the woods next to him, did not leave the village and entered the village, nor did he rush forward to ask.

But at this moment, at the intersection behind the village, there was a sudden cry of fear from a woman, and a few sounds similar to the roar of a wolf dog, followed by several huge black shadows.

Three giant black wolves, comparable in size to yaks, slowly appeared in the field of vision.

What Meng Yun was most shocked by was that these giant wolves were all riding humans on their backs, to be precise, ancient soldiers wearing black leather armor, white lines painted on their faces, and holding spears, these people should be the barbarians that the strange turtle said.

The woman had fallen to the ground, watching in horror as the enemy slowly approached, driven by the master, the black wolf slowly walked and sniffed at the woman, ready to divide the prey and eat it at any time, but at this moment, among the villagers who had escaped before, someone saw the enemy suddenly appear behind, and immediately panicked and screamed.

The frightened screams of the villagers immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers, and the two black wolf cavalrymen left the women behind, turned around and rushed towards the fleeing villagers.

These villagers are all women and children, not to mention unarmed, and in the face of cavalry charges, even the infantry is fully armed.

A slaughter was about to happen in front of him, and Meng Yun didn't care too much, carrying a machete in one hand, he quickly dodged out, locked on the farthest black wolf soldier, and threw the machete with all his might.

Immediately after jumping out of the woods by the side of the road, a man pounced on the black wolf cavalry who was galloping towards him, and the soldier who was close to him could not react, and he dragged the black wolf mount down, and both fell to the ground at the same time.

After landing and rolling a few times, the black wolf soldier gained the upper hand, pinning him down and holding him down with both hands.

Meng Yun felt a little difficult to breathe, but he didn't panic, he directly raised his arms and pressed down on the opponent's arms, and while unloading the opponent's strength, he reached out and touched the stone next to him, and smashed it at the opponent's head.

A splattering of blood splattered his face, and he pushed the body of the wolf knight away before rolling into the grass by the roadside.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the enemy companion tried to harness the black wolf to take the opportunity to kill him, but at this moment, a goose arrow passed through the man's neck, and the body fell from the black wolf's back.

After losing their owners, these black wolves quickly fled into the forest with their tails between their legs.

Meng Yun got up and looked back and couldn't help but find that the person who shot the arrow was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, and the boy smiled a little shyly when he saw him look over.

Meng Yun nodded at the boy kindly, and then quickly took a few steps forward to pick up the fallen woman, she was frightened at the moment, her eyes were dazed, her lips trembled, and she could barely speak.

But then, when the boy saw this, he also ran over, said something to him, and then helped the woman to evacuate to the back mountain.

Meng Yun retracted his gaze, squatted down and looked down at the corpse at his feet, this barbarian soldier was slashed in the back of the neck by the machete he thrown, and he was already out of breath.

The weapons used by these barbarian soldiers were also strange, a curved bronze scimitar and a wooden iron-tipped spear.

Meng Yun picked up the machete again, he was not used to using the scimitar, but at this moment, the woman who had been helped away ran back again, came up and grabbed his clothes, and began to kneel on the ground and cry and plead.

Meng Yun didn't understand what the other party said at all, "Hey, don't worry, get up and talk about ......"

"Stupid boy, she wants you to save her child......"
