Chapter 25: Slaughtering the Wolves and Searching for the Tribe
One drop! Another drop! The continuous rain hit Zhang Xiaoshan's face, he slowly opened his eyes, the surroundings were pitch black, the cold rain hit the ground muddy, his mouth was stuffed with messy things, he cursed in his heart: Since leaving the living world, he is really unlucky!
He got up and retched for a while, and found that except for being wet, he didn't seem to be damaged, his mana was still there, and his meridians were intact.
It's just how did I get to this place, where is this?
It was late at night, it was already dark, but it was still drizzling, and I couldn't distinguish the surrounding environment at all.
He still remembered the shocking scene just now.
At the moment when he was involved in the turbulence of space, he saw that a giant hand seemed to appear in the sky above the green garden, which was too terrifying, a low-level monk like himself was afraid that the other party could wipe him out with a single thought.
He found that there was still a person lying on his stomach in the grass not far away, he chuckled in his heart, hurriedly got up, rushed over, and halfway through he was sure that there must be Qingluan lying on the ground, and this figure was not bad.
He walked to Qingluan's side, turned Qingluan's body over, and the whole person was stunned all of a sudden, Qingluan's chest was inserted with a wooden stake the thickness of a bowl, Qingluan's eyes were closed, and his breath was like a gossamer, it seems that not everyone can be as lucky as himself.
He hesitated, carefully grasped the stake with his hand, and pulled out the stake at once, unexpectedly, although the wound was serious, no blood gushed out. He didn't care about these things first, and hurriedly took off his armor and pressed it tightly against Qingluan's wound. This is another opportunity to take a good look around.
The surrounding area is densely grown, with low grass more than half a person tall, and the terrain is flat. The dripping rain stirred up the scent of fragrant earth.
Zhang Xiaoshan was not sure whether he was in Xuanshui Mansion or elsewhere, and the most important thing now was to find a place to shelter from the rain as soon as possible, otherwise he would be a little uncomfortable if he was wearing so little and being drenched in the rain again.
Although he is already in the foundation building stage, has mana to protect his body, and has no illness, he still doesn't like to get wet on his body.
He looked around, putting his mana on his eyes, and finally could barely see the range of more than ten zhang around him. There was a lot of grass all around, not even a tall shrub, which was good, and there was not even a place to shelter from the rain.
He looked at the unconscious Qingluan, and said helplessly: "My magic weapons are all in your stomach, otherwise, you and I will have a place to hide from the wind and rain, it is better than getting drenched in the rain here!"
He looked at Qingluan's lower abdomen and thought to himself, "I don't know where my treasure is in her belly?
He had a great headache and hurriedly got up and fled, and immediately slipped and fell in the mud under his feet.
"Huh!" he looked at the mud on his body, and immediately came up with an idea, and smeared the mud on his body with both hands, although it was quickly washed away by the rain, but it was better than such a stripe of nakedness.
He first hoped that Qingluan would wake up as soon as possible so that he could return the treasure to himself, but then he thought that if Qingluan woke up, the first thing he would do might be to eat himself, if that was the case, it was better to stay away from her!
He tore the thick wooden stake into seven or eight pieces with both hands, carefully covered Qingluan's body, touched the rain on his cheeks, and said to himself: "Let's separate today, you have to take care of my treasures, one day, I will come to you..."
He made a distinction and began to march in one direction, and he felt that this was his most embarrassing moment.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of "Si Xi Suo" coming from all around him, not the sound of rain hitting the blades of grass, as if some wild beast was wandering nearby, trampling on the ground.
The sounds are extremely small, and if you hadn't been observing the changes around you, you might have ignored them.
Zhang Xiaoshan was happy in his heart, it would be great if it was a beast, and he could solve many problems for himself. It was better to have more beasts, bigger ones, he prayed to himself. With his cultivation during the foundation building period, he was not worried that these beasts would cause harm to him at all.
Even if it is a demon beast with spiritual sense, as long as it is not of the same level, it can be dealt with by itself.
In the dark, there were suddenly more than a dozen pairs of green eyes, staring greedily at Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan pretended not to know, and still walked forward with his head down, but his mana was entwined, and he used his divine sense to lock on all the beasts around him.
Through the observation of divine sense, there were a total of eleven strong gray wolves around him, and none of them had spiritual sense, just the most ordinary beasts.
It's just that these guys are too careful, they're just a person, and they're naked, what are they waiting for?
In order to attract the gray wolves to attack as soon as possible, Zhang Xiaoshan deliberately coughed and walked staggeringly, like a seriously ill person. He didn't believe that these gray wolves could endure it.
Sure enough, seeing Zhang Xiaoshan's embarrassed appearance, the gray wolves finally confirmed that there was no danger and launched a long-planned attack. Two of the strongest gray wolves carefully crawled behind Zhang Xiaoshan, while the rest of the gray wolves jumped to show their bodies to Zhang Xiaoshan and attract his attention.
All the changes around him fell in Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes, he knew that the two gray wolves hiding behind him were the real killers, as long as he was attracted by the other gray wolves around him, and the flaws behind him were exposed, then a thunderous attack would come.
He found that all the gray wolves around him were already in his attack range, and he didn't have to disguise anymore, he let out a loud shout, attached his mana to it, and generated a sound wave to deter the gray wolf first, and then opened his mouth and spit out a dozen small fireballs.
These fireballs were as fast as lightning, and immediately hit all the gray wolves, the size of the fireballs was not large, but the energy contained was extremely high, and all the gray wolves were killed almost instantly.
The whole process is over in just a few breaths.
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and the rain became thicker again.
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the corpses of the gray wolves around him, bowed and thanked: "Everyone, today I am embarrassed and helpless, so I will take your life!
He ripped off all the wolf skins, and obtained a total of twelve fine wolf skins, with thick hair and an oily sheen.
He used three wolf skins to wrap himself whole, and finally he didn't need to be naked, and there was a trace of warmth on his body. However, the smell of these wolf skins was really bad, and the strong smell of wolf urine went straight to his nose, and he grabbed a handful of green blades of grass to block his nose, and felt better.
He carried the rest of the wolf skins on his back and returned to Qingluan's side along the way he came.
It was found that there were three emaciated old wolves biting Qingluan's body there. However, the divine beast was hit hard, how could it be the opponent of such an ordinary beast.
Zhang Xiaoshan sprayed some flames from the pass, scared off the three old gray wolves, covered two wolf skins on Qingluan's body, and then used wooden stakes as tools to dig a soil pit in the nearby ground, and then dug a soil hole obliquely, the area is not large, only able to accommodate two people, and the ground is covered with thick wolf skins. After doing all this, he hugged Qingluan and came to the earth cave.
Sitting in the dirt air, he took a long breath, although this soil cave was simple, it finally didn't need to be rained. A cool breeze blew outside the cave, and the rain that had not been going on just now actually stopped.
Zhang Xiaoshan stretched out his thumb to God: "You can!"
The soil cave was dark and damp, but it was finally warmer, he touched Qingluan's forehead, and found that it was cold, and he said helplessly: "Don't blame me, who made you hurt." He held Qingluan in his arms, as if he was holding a piece of ice.
Zhang Xiaoshan is beautiful in his arms, but he doesn't have any improper thoughts.
It's just that the cave is still a little clammy and cold, and he doesn't feel tired at all. I had to stare blankly at Qingluan's beautiful face, and I was so hard to get through it overnight, but Qingluan's situation still did not improve, and it was still a miserable appearance.
Last night's heavy rain did not affect the good weather of the second day in the slightest.
The sun is shining outside the cave, and the air is pleasant!
Zhang Xiaoshan hugged Qingluan and walked out of the soil cave.
The surroundings are lush green, and the scenery is intoxicating. In the distance, in the meadow, a large number of horses were walking through the grass. Several big eagles in the sky are hovering in the air, a grassland style.
However, Zhang Xiaoshan is still a little puzzled, Shenzhou has such a grassland, and there are only two states. One is Liangzhou, where the Yang family is located, and the other is Jizhou, but no matter which one, it is thousands of miles away from Youzhou, how can he appear here?
He looked at the big eagle in the sky, and two small fireballs shot out of his mouth, knocking down two of them with a bang. The farther away the flame from his Flame Technique, the smaller the fireball became. However, the altitude at which these two eagles flew was too low, but they were only twenty feet long, and they could still be hit by him.
Zhang Xiaoshan muttered to himself: "Don't blame me, I really can't help it." ”
After a while, the flesh of the two great eagles was roasting on the fire. Zhang Xiaoshan was wearing a wolfskin dress and two eagle tail feathers on his head, which looked wild, but also funny.
The wood was the stakes from last night, because it was a little damp, it didn't burn vigorously, emitting thick white smoke, which made Zhang Xiaoshan cough violently.
Qingluan was next to the bonfire, and he slowly woke up. "Oh!" she said in a feeble voice.
Zhang Xiaoshan hurriedly said: "Don't talk, you need to rest." ”
Qingluan looked at the bonfire, suddenly struggled to get up, and put himself on top of the bonfire, Zhang Xiaoshan was just about to stop it, and suddenly hit his head fiercely, he was really confused. This Qingluan is a bird of fire spirit, if you want to heal your wounds, of course, it is best to use fire.
He hurriedly spewed fire at Qingluan's mouth. Helping him recover, the two wolf skins on Qingluan's body were quickly burned to ashes, but Qingluan's face improved little by little.
An arrow swooped and landed in front of Zhang Xiaoshan, shaking with a "buzz". Zhang Xiaoshan hurriedly turned around and looked.
A hundred meters away, there were more than a dozen heavily armed knights, all of them with bows and arrows pointed at them. Zhang Xiaoshan frowned, these people are not scattered!
A knight wearing leather armor and a mask on his head, with four guards, rode his horse in front of Zhang Xiaoshan, looked at Zhang Xiaoshan's embarrassed image with interest, and said, "Did you shoot my falcon just to decorate these two tail feathers?"
Zhang Xiaoshan felt that if there was a crack in the ground now, he would definitely be able to get into it, he looked at the knight and explained: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that these two were falcons, and I didn't know that they were yours." My companion and I met..."He turned around and was about to introduce Qingluan, but found that the fire had been extinguished, and his armor remained on the ground next to him, but Qingluan had disappeared.
"What did you say?" asked the knight. Zhang Xiaoshan spread his hands and gestured, "Oh, this question is more complicated! What I'm talking about is that my companion and I met a bandit, and my companion was captured, and I was stripped naked and left here." ”
"Smack!" With a sound, the knight raised his horsewhip, pulled out a loud sound, and warned: "It's better for you to tell the truth, the nearest mountain is five hundred miles away from here, how can there be bandits without a mountain." ”
Zhang Xiaoshan made up his mind and replied: "That's a horse thief, it's not a good person anyway!"
The knight laughed and said, "What you said is right! You are really not a good person! You must be a spy of the Muha tribe! At the same time, he waved his hand and ordered: "Tie up!" Without saying a word, the four guards who followed behind jumped off their horses, holding hemp rope in their hands, and were about to tie up Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan immediately spewed out two fireballs from his mouth, and the instant high temperature burned the green grass on the ground into ashes, and he shouted: "Who dares?"
The masked knight was surprised, "You're an immortal?"
"Not bad!" Zhang Xiaoshan responded cheerfully. Although he was not afraid of these nomads, he had been taught from an early age that monks should try not to come into conflict with ordinary people, let alone kill them at will. Once violated, evil consequences will accumulate, and there will be no harm to the later cultivation of the future!
"Get a dress for the immortal. The knight's voice changed, and he said excitedly, and at the same time jumped off his horse and took off his mask, which turned out to be a yellow-faced, ordinary-looking woman, her voice was rough, and she really couldn't see it with the mask just now.
The woman half-bowed and said to Zhang Xiaoshan: "Yarkhan worships the immortals!"
Zhang Xiaoshan put on the leather coat handed over, this leather coat is comfortable to wear, and there is no peculiar smell, those wolf skins last night always had a strong smell of wolf urine, if there was no way, he would have wanted to lose it a long time ago.
His face was also filled with a happy smile, and he waved his hand and smiled: "Don't be so polite, I owe you something when I say it!"
Yarkhan jumped off his horse and walked to Zhang Xiaoshan's side, which was much taller and burlier than Zhang Xiaoshan. She said respectfully: "Please immortal remember our rudeness just now, we invite you to our tribe as a guest!"
"By the way, what kind of place is this, which state capital. Zhang Xiaoshan didn't rush to agree, and asked first.
"Immortals, this is the Jiuqu grassland in Liangzhou. ”
"You said this is the northernmost Jiuqu grassland in Liangzhou!" Zhang Xiaoshan was surprised in his heart: Oh my God, he actually ran to this ghost place, the Jiuqu grassland is thousands of miles in circumference, sparsely populated, and only a small number of nomads live! To the north, it is connected to the Qingyun Grassland, which is a forbidden area for humans, and there are hundreds of thousands of demon clans living in it.
"Immortals! Yarkhan sincerely invites you to be a guest of our tribe!" Yarkhan said.
Zhang Xiaoshan had nowhere to go anyway, he nodded casually, and replied: "Okay, I shot down your falcon and accepted your invitation, since that's the case, I'll go and spare your tribe!" He felt that Yarkhan and they must have something to ask for him, and it seemed that he had to give them this great opportunity.
Yarkhan jumped on the horse excitedly, dragged Zhang Xiaoshan behind him, and with a whip, the yellow horse under him galloped on the grass like thunder. Zhang Xiaoshan shouted to the guards behind him, "Take my treasure armor!"
Riding a horse on the grassland is a pleasant thing, the green earth, the blue sky, the breeze blowing in the face, if it weren't for the smell of Yarkhan in front of him, Zhang Xiaoshan would have enjoyed this process a little.
The tribe of Yarkhan was not very populous, with only a hundred and ten tents scattered on a hill. Thousands of cattle, sheep and horses roamed around.
On the way, Yarkhan couldn't help but tell Zhang Xiaoshan about the situation of his tribe, it turned out that two hundred miles north of this place, there is another tribe, the two sides have been at peace for many years, but recently I don't know what's wrong, that tribe always moves the grassland to the south, and finally officially stepped into the grassland controlled by the Yarkhan tribe a few days ago, the two sides immediately had a dispute, both moved knives, the two sides were evenly matched, and they could negotiate and solve it according to the customs of the steppe people, but there was a cultivator in that tribe, and the strength was too biased, and Yarhan's tribe lost more than a dozen excellent warriors, and also lost a high-quality pasture that had been operated for decades. Originally, Yarkhan had given up, after all, the safety of the tribe was the top priority, she took the rest of the warriors, and was about to open up a new pasture and leave here, but she didn't expect to meet Zhang Xiaoshan on the way, she called God bless!
Zhang Xiaoshan didn't know the bottom in his heart, he couldn't analyze the strength of the other party's cultivator from Yarhan's words at all, he was not sure about his own strength, his self-confidence had been really hit hard recently, and if he met someone casually, he would be much stronger than himself. He was not weak, and his heart had been hit hard.
In Yarhan's tent, Zhang Xiaosan held a leg of mutton in his hand, half lying on a woolen blanket, and thought: Rest here for a few days first, and then go to meet the cultivator when he is better.
The tents were lifted and three women entered, the first of whom was Yarhan, and when they entered, the three women began to undress in unison. The leg of mutton in Zhang Xiaoshan's hand was also thrown to the ground in fright, and he hurriedly stopped: "What is this for!"
Yarkhan said calmly: "When the immortals come to us, we have nothing to prepare, only women can accompany us!"
Zhang Xiaoshan blushed, closed his eyes, and said, "You guys go out quickly! Don't do this! I'm practicing a divine skill, don't get close to women! If you delay the competition for a few days, you can't blame me!"
Yarkhan hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, the immortal cultivates well, and we will leave now, and we will not disturb the immortal's cultivation again." ”
The three of them hugged their clothes and exited the tent.
