Chapter 1: The Afterglow of the Sunset

Next Chapter

A gentle breeze gently passes through the mountains, and the towering mountain terrain is lush with greenery.

A faint whimper echoed through the trees, followed by the roar of a beast that thundered through the mountains.

The boy kept shuttling through the forest, and the slopes of the hills and the thorny vine-strewn jungle were like flat ground in front of the boy.

But the shadow behind him was like a sharp sword hanging over his head, forcing him to not turn back.

At this moment, his clothes were already in tatters, and the linen-colored cloth hung on his body to hide the only trace of dignity.

His bare skin was imprinted with dappled sunlight like golden leaves, his little yellow face was tinged with a hint of bitterness, and sweat from his black hair was scattered like dew on his forehead.

The young man's name is He Qi, 16 years old this year, he has no father and no mother since he was a child, and when he was five years old, he suddenly appeared at the door of the blacksmith's house in Luoyan Town, and He Qi had no memory of the memory before the age of five.

Even the moment before he appeared at the door of the king's blacksmith's house, he could not remember.

That time was like a blank sheet of paper in He Qi's mind, without the slightest embellishment.

Blacksmith Wang took him to see a doctor, and also asked the mayor of the town who was the top in knowledge and strength, but he couldn't come to a conclusion, and finally Blacksmith Wang saw that he was pitiful and adopted him.

"If it weren't for that old liar, I wouldn't be so embarrassed now," He Qi thought resentfully, but his feet didn't dare to stop in the slightest.

There are still five or six kilometers ahead of Luoyan Town, but the twists and turns of the mountain road and the continuous loss of physical strength make He Qi miserable.

The cyan she-wolf in the rear had been in hot pursuit, and if it weren't for the fact that the she-wolf had just given birth to her cubs and was not as swift as she had been in her heyday, he might have fallen into the wolf's mouth long ago. "Damn old liar, if I manage to get back today, I'm going to smash your grocery store. ”

Luoyan Town is located at the bottom of the Lingxi Canyon, surrounded by mountains, and there are eighteen huge stone pillars standing around the town, and the iron mesh connected between the stone pillars makes the ordinary town look more solemn.

At this moment, the sun is about to set, and since the beginning of the ancestors, it has been stipulated in the town that the people of the town are not allowed to go out after sunset, and the hunting party that goes out hunting must rush back to the town before dark.

There were people who wanted to cross this canyon to the outside world, but they never returned, and since then no one has dared to disobey the teachings of their ancestors.

.......

"If we can't find Xiao Qi again, we can only go back," the man said with a soft sigh, and the men around him looked sad.

Xiao Qi was grown up by them, this child grew up with Wang Blacksmith since he was a child, and the equipment maintenance of their hunter team also needs to go through Wang Blacksmith, and after getting acquainted with each other, everyone also treats Xiao Qi as their own juniors.

Today is the first time that Xiao Qi has gone up the mountain to hunt with them, and he was only bringing Xiao Qi to increase his knowledge, and there were also a few children in the town who were about the same age as Xiao Qi, but when they arrived at their fixed hunting place, Xiao Qi was gone.

"Captain, go back first, I lost Xiao Qi, I must bring him back completely today" Lin Fan looked at the man and said firmly.

He was the youngest person in the hunting party, and he was supposed to be responsible for the safety of today's children, and now he should be responsible for such a thing.

"You all go back, I'll go find Xiao Qi" The man looked at everyone quietly, and there was an undoubted taste in his deep eyes.

"Captain!! you can't be fine, I'd better go!!!" everyone rushed to say.

"Don't say anything, I'll bring Xiao Qi back. The man looked down at the dim town not far away, then slowly turned and walked forward, his erect body never shaken by the constant calls behind him.

"Go back," the captain's whisper came faintly from the front, and everyone sighed as they looked at his back, which was gradually stretched by the sun........

He Qi swore that he had never been so embarrassed when he grew so big, the key was that the dog behind him seemed to be really crazy, and he still didn't give up after chasing him for so long.

"As for it, didn't I just move a little bit of your water, you have been chasing after you," He Qi complained helplessly.

If the giant wolf knew what he was thinking at the moment, he would probably be able to vomit blood alive.

Where the hell is a little bit of water, I don't know what's going on in Hantan, which I rely on for cultivation, was lost by this kid who put all the water in it.

If he hadn't been taking care of the little wolf at the time, he wouldn't be on the edge of the cold pool. With the kind of goods in front of her, she can usually take one bite at a time.

Speaking of which, this little thing in front of it is slippery and does not look like a human being, and it has not been chased for so long with its own strength.

He Qi also felt that he had changed a lot today, although he usually learned to strike iron from the king blacksmith and learned bow and arrow techniques from the hunter uncles in the town.

But these things still can't help him survive for so long under the pursuit of the Xuanyue Green Wolf, you must know that the Xuanyue Green Wolf is a demon beast that has always been known for its speed.

If it weren't for that little stone, maybe he would be able to attribute it to his talent, but the thought of that little black stone made him suddenly a little creepy.

The ordinary-looking stone had actually burrowed into his body, and it had melted directly into his chest.

At this moment, he could feel as if a flame was burning in his chest, and the burning sensation spread to his limbs. He didn't know whether to rejoice or regret the stone, but the only thing he had to think about at this moment was how to get out of the predicament in front of him.

The evening breeze whistled, like the whimper of the devil, echoing in the valley, and the half-round sunset hung on the top of the distant mountain, and the blood-red light rendered the earth seemed even more enchanting at this moment.

He Qi stopped at this moment, he couldn't run anymore, the town would close the gate of the entrance when the sun went down, and the hunting party that had gone out at that time had already returned to the town, it was impossible for him to meet them on the way to escape, and the only one who could help him at this time was himself.

Thinking of this, He Qi suddenly felt a surge of blood in his heart, and he stopped. Gently pulled out the long knife that the king blacksmith handed him to defend himself before he went out, held the long knife across his chest hard, looked back at the green shadow that was rushing towards him in front of him, and greeted him.

"Bang !!" The giant wolf jumped high, its snow-white claws swept through the air like lightning, bringing a rustling sound of breaking the wind, and its cyan hair fluttered and danced in the air. It was greeted by the ordinary long knife in He Qi's hand.

A huge force came from the handle of the knife, and He Qi's hand holding the long knife trembled, and the tiger's mouth suddenly cracked. Even so, he still didn't dare to step back for half a minute, the huge wolf head in front of the long knife was facing him, and a fishy breath came from the depths of the fangs.

He Qi's chest suddenly became hot, and he suddenly felt that there was a force spreading to his hands, he suddenly pushed away the giant wolf in front of him, rolled to the right to avoid the giant wolf's pounce, and then he jumped up with all his strength, held the long knife with both hands, and slashed towards the giant wolf's waist with all his might.

The "Bang Bang" long knife seemed to have slashed on the stone slab, and it was difficult to penetrate a fraction of it, leaving only a shallow blood mark. He Qi quickly took away the long knife and slid out towards the giant wolf's body, dodging the blow from the giant wolf's side.

The roar of "Roar !!" actually made the earth tremble slightly, and the giant wolf was angry, she couldn't handle the little bug in front of her for so long, and she was hurt by this little bug, which was really a shame for her.

The giant wolf suddenly stopped in front of He Qi's eyes, a faint white light actually rose from its body, the surrounding space was about to freeze under the white light, and a cold breath permeated He Quan's body, and his body stiffened at this moment. The giant wolf's eyes were sharp, and it rushed towards He Qi with white light wrapped in it.

"Am I going to die here today?" At this moment, He Qi's heart was full of remorse, and he closed his eyes gently, as if he had never felt powerless before, as if he was about to swallow him.

"Uncle Wang, I'm sorry, I won't be able to repay you in the future......."

!!At this moment, a clear voice exploded in the air, like a giant bell ringing in He Qi's heart,

He Qi opened his eyes, only to see that the golden light actually met the giant wolf and knocked it into the air, and then slid on the ground and crashed into the big tree in front of him, rolling up a puff of dust and fallen leaves.

He Qi turned around to look in the direction where the golden light was coming from, and saw a man standing not far in front of him, the man was wearing clothes made of animal skins, and the muscles exposed under his shoulders seemed to be full of strength.

In his right hand he held a swarthy longbow, and several long arrows pinned to his waist were made of unknown materials. He carried a long sword wrapped in white cloth on his back, and there was a faint smile on his ordinary face at the moment, no one would have imagined that the amazing arrow just now came from this man's hand.

"Uncle Yang!!" He Qi shouted at him loudly, his heart full of guilt at the moment.

The man nodded at He Qi, and looked faintly at the giant wolf not far away who had been injured by his arrow. Then he slowly pulled out an arrow from his waist, put it on the curved bow, and pulled the bowstring arrow to aim at the giant wolf.

The giant wolf had stood up again at this moment, it looked at the man in front of it vigilantly, the pain caused by the arrow just now was stimulating its senses at the moment, and it knew that the man in front of it was very difficult to mess with.

The space seemed to be forbidden at this moment, "Huh!!" The man's arrow broke the silence of the moment, pierced the air, and shot at the giant wolf in front of him like thunder, and the giant wolf suddenly shuddered, and his hair stood on end.

I saw it raise its head to the sky and roar, and then part of the hair on its body fell off at this moment, and its body slowly shrank at this moment, and the giant wolf that was originally more than three meters long turned into more than one meter long in this instant.

The white gas that was wrapped in it suddenly increased several times at this moment, and then it galloped towards the arrow!

"Boom!!" The long arrow wrapped in golden light collided with the green wolf and made a loud sound, and the shock wave generated by the two energies actually lifted the surrounding plants and dust together with the dust, and the trees a hundred meters away also shook a large number of leaves because of this energy.

At this time, the man was already protecting He Qi's body. He Qi looked at everything in front of him in shock, and a wave of blood ignited, as if a seed had been buried in his heart unconsciously.

The giant wolf in front of him did not choose to turn around and attack after blocking this blow, but turned around directly, turning into a white light and fleeing into the distance.

The man looked at the gradually darkening sky, and then at the white light and shadow that was about to disappear in the distance, and did not choose to chase after it.

It was almost dark now, and they couldn't get back to the town now, so they had to find a relatively safe place to spend the night, and he didn't know what the canyon would become at night.

Those who know are dead!

"Uncle Yang, where are we going?" He Qi raised his head slightly and looked at the man who was half a head taller than him and said, after the man rescued him, he didn't ask him anything, nor did he blame him, just smiled and touched his head, and then led him towards the mountain.

"There's a cave up ahead, which we found hunting before, and we're going to spend the night there!" the man said softly

"Uncle Yang, don't you have anything to ask me?" He Qi turned sideways to the man, and the guilt in his heart made him can't help but ask the man.

"Everyone has their own secrets, and I won't ask too much about them, as long as you don't jeopardize the safety of the town. The man froze and looked sideways at He Qi quietly. The deep gaze sets off his breeze. "Otherwise, I won't be the first to let you go!!" he thought quietly.

"I swear that I He Qi will always protect this town in my life and will not let her be harmed in any way" He Qi looked at the man, he clasped his hands and said with a firm face.......

"Okay, let's go!The cave is not far ahead!!" The man looked at He Qi quietly, was silent for a while, and said slowly.

......

"Uncle Yang, can I join your hunting team when I go back?"

"Let's wait until you're strong enough..."

"Then I must improve my strength after I go back!"

"Let's talk about it when we can go back!"

"Then will I become a strong man like you in the future?"

"Yes!!"

......

"Uncle Yang, it's the cave in front of you."

"Yes"

......

The faint sound of conversation between the valleys echoed in the air.

By this time the sun had disappeared. The sky was like an ink-stained canvas, pitch black, and night fell.

The darkness gradually swallowed the canyon, and in the valley, the voices of various beasts echoed, and the sound was faintly heard, and the sound was mixed with the sound of "crunch!!", as if some kind of beast was biting its prey, or something was about to break through the ground.......
