Qin Yan and Wang Fuqu walked towards the west for about an hour, and when the sky was dark and the stars hung high overhead, they still did not find any trace of Mimi Lake.

"It's strange, it feels like it's supposed to be here, how can you not find it?"

Looking at the wasteland in front of him, which seemed to never end, Wang Fuqu was puzzled, "How can a group of demon beasts that can't make it into the climate hide so tightly?" ”

Qin Yan looked down at the few withered yellow weeds under his feet, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind.

"Boy, what comes to mind?"

Qin Yan looked up at Wang Fuqu and said, "If you look at these withered grasses, you don't realize that they don't seem to have become like this naturally, but rather like they have been robbed of their vitality and vitality. ”

Wang Fuqu squatted down and pulled the half-dead weeds, and two of the beads fell immediately as soon as they touched the leaves.

"You mean to say that this is the demon beast in the dense lake?"

"I once heard Lu Bo say that the Mimi Lake is full of life all year round, and the grass is green and the lake is beautiful, like a fairyland. The existence of such a place in the mortal world is very unusual in itself, especially in such a cold winter, so I wonder if it is ......"

"Sustain yourself by sucking the vitality of grassland plants?"

"Yes."

Wang Fuqu stood up and walked a few steps, and said, "If this is really what you think, then this dense lake must be removed." ”

Qin Yan frowned slightly, touched his chin and said, "I have a hunch, they seem to know that someone is looking for Mimi Lake, so they deliberately hide it. And the person who can hide the dense lake so closely is probably not simple, or rather, that person is very likely to be the Xiao Yuer you are talking about. ”

"Xiao Yu'er? How capable can a girl who has been able to have an immortal body by taking the elixir of life have? Wang Fuqu looked a little unimpressed, according to his thoughts, no matter how Xiao Yu'er was a mortal, even if he cultivated the Fa, it would not be his opponent with Qin Yan.

However, Qin Yan shook his head and said with a look of concern: "You can't say that, aren't many immortals cultivated by mortals?" What's more, Xiao Yuer has lived for more than a thousand years, and we don't know what she is capable of or how capable she is. Therefore, in the current state of uncertainty, it is better not to underestimate the enemy. ”

What Qin Yan didn't say was that he had a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart, this Xiao Yu'er was very likely to be unfavorable to him, so if he couldn't find her for a day now, the uneasiness in his heart would expand by a point.

Compared with Qin Yan's worries, Wang Fuqu didn't care at all, he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it won't be as serious as you think, oops, I can't find it now anyway, why don't we find a place to eat something delicious, and then look for it tomorrow morning, how about it?" ”

Qin Yan glanced up at Wang Fuqu, and was about to speak, when the corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of two faint green lights flickering in the darkness, he was startled, and pulled Wang Fuqu up and disappeared, and then the two appeared about ten meters above the two points of green light.

"It turned out to be a wolf of half size, presumably just the two of us were used as food to hunt, alas, after walking for so long today, I finally saw a living creature, but wolves have always lived in groups, why did this one act alone at night? Hey? No, this wolf walks in a weird way. Wang Fuqu chattered while carefully inspecting the thin wolf with gray fur at his feet, this wolf has a slender body, and the waist and abdomen and hip bones are obviously narrow after all, but the belly bulging is obviously disproportionate to the body, especially when the stomach swings from side to side when walking.

"This is a she-wolf, and judging by the way it looks, it should be born soon. Why is there no male wolf to protect him at this time? This doesn't fit the rules of the wolf pack. I don't know if I was moved by pity, looking at the she-wolf's lean body and bulging belly, Wang Fuqu seemed to feel a little sorry.

"Perhaps, the male wolf is dead, and when the wolves migrate, he happened to be pregnant and couldn't keep up, so he was forced to stay in this place where the birds don't." Qin Yan touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

"Alas, pity the little wolf cub in its belly, look at it like that, even if it can give birth to the wolf cub smoothly, I'm afraid it won't be able to raise it. There is not even a single mouse in this hundred miles, and it is estimated that it will starve to death. ”

"Or ...... Let's take it away? Qin Yan turned his head to look at Wang Fuqu, although this was a question, his black eyes shone with excitement and determination.

"Take away? Where do you want to take it? Qingqiu? ”

"Of course not, I'll take you there."

"My family? Do you mean Heavenly Master's Mansion or Zhong Nanshan? ”

"Zhong Nanshan."

As soon as Qin Yan's words fell, the person had already dodged and jumped down, standing at a distance of about five meters from the she-wolf.

The she-wolf's hungry and somewhat dizzy eyes, when she suddenly saw a living person appear in front of her, the hair on her whole body suddenly turned up, it arched its slender body, bared its teeth, grinned, and the green light flashing in its two eyes was both greedy and fearful, greedy for the flesh on Qin Yan's body, and afraid of it was not sure if it could beat Qin Yan. Therefore, while the she-wolf bent down to attack, her two front legs were ready to flee at any time. Although he had not eaten for many days, and he was carrying a baby about to give birth in his belly, the desire to survive still drove the she-wolf to pounce on Qin Yan, and then quickly bite off his throat, and then drink the blood from his whole body in one goo, and it was best to tear off the flesh on his body piece by piece and transport it back to the cave as the food it needed for production.

In the face of the she-wolf's nervousness, Qin Yan seemed extremely relaxed, he knew that the she-wolf would not go back with him obediently like a dog, and its hostility towards him was the most natural. Therefore, the smoothest and most effective way to take the she-wolf away is to stun her.

Qin Yan took two steps forward to where the she-wolf was, and the she-wolf immediately took three steps back when she saw this, now, there was almost no greed in the eyes of the she-wolf, for a person who dared to challenge it head-on, the she-wolf did not have confidence in herself to defeat him, after all, it was not what it used to be, and its physical condition did not allow it to have a frontal violent conflict with people at all. And the only way to avoid this conflict is to run away, and run away quickly.

As soon as this idea appeared in his mind, when facing Qin Yan, the she-wolf had obvious timidity. It quietly took two more steps back, intending to turn around and run when Qin Yan stepped forward further. However, what made the she-wolf a little puzzled was that the person on the other side obviously stood and didn't do anything, so he snapped his fingers at it easily, yes, it was the kind of finger snapping that humans thought was cool when their thumb and index finger touched, and then, its eyelids gradually closed, and its head was tilted to the side a little disobediently, but at the moment when the body fell, the she-wolf tried to keep her stomach on the ground last.

Qin Yan walked to the fainted she-wolf, stretched out his hand and touched its bulging belly, the warmth of the wolf cub spread to his palm through the wolf skin, for some reason, at this moment, Qin Yan actually felt very relieved, so that the uneasiness just now had disappeared without a trace.

When the two of them returned to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, it was just eight o'clock in the evening, and there was no one in the exquisite courtyard. Qin Yan carried the she-wolf to a small room on the first floor, and then carefully placed it on a soft cushion.

"Is there anything to eat here?" Qin Yan turned his head to look at Wang Fuqu who was following behind him.

"You brought a steppe wolf here, is it appropriate?" Regarding Qin Yan's behavior, Wang Fuqu felt very puzzled.

"When it finishes giving birth to wolf cubs, I'll send them back to the grassland." Qin Yan explained.

"What about in the meantime? You're going to keep it forever? ”

"Or else? Do you want to watch it die on the prairie like this? ”

"Alas, you kid, I don't know which tendon is wrong." Wang Fuqu sighed helplessly, turned around and went out to find food.

For about ten minutes, Wang Fuqu held a steaming pot that was not big or small in both hands, and a very large bag on his wrist, which was heavily filled with things, and hurriedly walked in.

"Come on, come on, fresh lamb stew, come and eat, eat it while it's hot." Wang Fuqu said as he put the pot on the table beside Qin Yan, then spread out the bag, grabbed a huge bone with a lot of meat from it and said, "This is eaten and cooked with your wolf, this treatment is enough." ”

Qin Yan put the meat and bone on the tip of the she-wolf's nose, then returned to the table and sat down, opened the lid of the pot, took out chopsticks from the bag, and ate it with Wang Fuqu, observing the movement of the she-wolf with the corner of his eye while eating.

I don't know if Qin Yan is eating too loudly, or the aroma of meat is too strong, in short, it didn't take long for the she-wolf to wake up leisurely, the first thing that caught her eye was the big bone on the side of her mouth, and many days of hunger prompted the she-wolf to open her mouth without thinking about it, the she-wolf's teeth are very sharp, and the cooked meat doesn't even need to chew for it at all, so she swallowed the dates and swallowed it, just swallowed one bite after another, and before two minutes, the big bone was left with a bare section, which can be seen from the eyes of the she-wolf, It actually wanted to eat all the bones together, but in the end it still didn't eat it, maybe it finally remembered that it was not a dog, what bones to eat!

At this time, the she-wolf finally remembered to look up at the other two people in the house.

Qin Yan saw that the she-wolf had finished eating the bones, so he took a piece of mutton from the pot and threw it over, the she-wolf caught it accurately, and then swallowed it neatly.

"Damn, what the hell is a wolf, this way of eating is too weak to describe as gobbling up." Wang Fuqu was afraid that the she-wolf would pounce on them and grab their mutton, so he kept holding it in the pot with chopsticks while watching it.

The piece of meat on Qin Yan's chopsticks was originally going to be delivered to his mouth, but after thinking about it, he turned his face and threw it to the she-wolf again, and then he was very satisfied to see that the hostility in his eyes had disappeared without a trace......
