Chapter 17: Encountering Wolves
At this moment, in the depths of the Black Devil Mountain, countless demon beasts rushed towards the edge of the Black Devil Mountain, and wherever they passed, the earth shook and the grass and trees were destroyed.
Although most of these demon beasts are just ordinary demon beasts in the muscle refining stage, there are also many spirit beasts in the blood refining realm, and even there are more than a dozen spirit beasts in the bone refining realm. It's just that at this moment, no matter what level these demon beasts are, they seem to be urged by some mysterious force, and they are scurrying around the forest in a hurry.
At the same time, a group of people and horses from the Spirit Beast Sect were riding all kinds of demon beasts and marching towards the depths of the Black Demon Mountain.
Xiao Ya rode a snow-white snow lion, which was particularly eye-catching in the group, and even Chen Shuangtong, who was riding a green wood wolf beside her, also attracted much attention. In the Spirit Beast Sect, many young disciples looked at Chen Shuangtong with sympathy or banter, and so on. But Chen Shuangtong didn't care about those eyes full of meaning at the moment, a pair of small eyes were purring, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Hey, boy, you were quite clever just now!" Xiao Ya rode on the back of the snow lion, looking at Chen Shuangtong obliquely with a pair of apricot eyes, with a sly smile on the corner of her mouth.
After listening to her words, Chen Shuangtong had a straight face and said seriously: "I don't know what Miss means, please explain it more clearly!"
"Hmph, cunning fellow! It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, anyway, God knows, you know and I know, Miss Ben won't bother with you! But what...... , you have also seen that Miss Ben lacks a quick-witted follower by her side, and I think you look quite pleasing to the eye, so follow Miss Ben in the future!" Xiao Ya said reluctantly.
Listening to Xiaoya's words, Chen Shuangtong's face changed slightly, and he secretly exclaimed in his heart. looked around, but found that the disciple who was originally very close to him was consciously keeping a distance from him after hearing Xiao Ya's words at this moment, and secretly aimed at Chen Shuangtong and the two with his eyes from time to time, so that when the situation was wrong, he could adapt to the situation.
Seeing that Chen Shuangtong did not react to his decision, Xiao Ya pouted, turned her head suddenly, and her beautiful eyes widened.
"Why, you don't want to?" Xiao Yajiao shouted.
Chen Shuangtong's body was shocked, his mind turned sharply, his face was full of smiles, and he said to Xiao Ya: "Miss misunderstood! How dare the little one refuse Miss Miss's good intentions! It is really the honor of the villain to be appreciated by the young lady, how dare you not agree!" Chen Shuangtong showed Xiao Ya his ability to pat the horse, and at the same time thought about how to deal with it.
"Really?" Xiao Ya squinted at Chen Shuangtong, her face full of suspicion.
"Ahem! How dare the villain have half a lie!" Chen Shuangtong coughed lightly, but his face did not show the slightest embarrassment, patted his not very strong chest with his hand, and swore solemnly: "In the future, the villain is willing to serve the young lady before and after the saddle, and he will not hesitate!"
"Phew, who wants you to serve!" Xiao Ya said softly, but from her little face full of smiles, it is not difficult to see that Xiao Ya is still in a good mood at the moment.
"From now on, you will be Miss Ben's first guard!" Xiao Ya chuckled after speaking.
Chen Shuang's heart was bitter, and the thoughts in his mind were spinning, thinking about how to get out of the clutches.
After hearing the conversation between the two, the surrounding disciples hurriedly clamped their crotches with their legs and put some distance between them again, for fear that the little devil would catch him as a strong man.
But said that Zhuang Xuan, after riding the golden feather eagle and rushing down the Baizhang Cliff, spread out his divine consciousness and looked for the hole in the thick white fog.
I don't know how many zhang it has fallen, at a certain moment, Zhuang Xuan was shocked, and commanded the golden feather eagle to fly towards the Baizhang cliff wall, a tree growing in the sky. When he got closer, Zhuang Xuan found that behind the trees, there was a hole more than one person high. Perhaps it's because it's inaccessible and the cave entrance is cluttered with vines. After seeing the entrance of the cave, Zhuang Xuan's face couldn't help but be happy, and he accelerated and flew towards the entrance of the cave.
There was an open space outside the entrance of the cave, and Zhuang Xuan did not wait for the golden feather sculpture to land, so he jumped off its back and stood in the open space to carefully look at the entrance of the cave. What surprised Zhuang Xuan a little was that although it was a cold winter at the moment, the vines at the entrance of the cave were still glowing green. But now that the situation is urgent, Zhuang Xuan didn't think deeply, and after a large number of circles at the entrance of the cave, he stepped into the cave.
After entering the entrance of the cave, Zhuang Xuan's eyes were dark, and his vision was seriously hindered, so he had to release his divine sense again and carefully examine the surrounding environment.
This is a passage with a width of several feet, and the stone walls on both sides of the passage are quite flat and smooth, and it is difficult for Zhuang Xuan to imagine that anyone would have the patience to dig such an exquisite cave on a cliff like Baizhang Cliff.
After walking along the passage for about thirty zhang, Zhuang Xuan vaguely saw a soft light coming from in front of him. Remembering the last time he used his divine sense to investigate the scene in the cave in the waterhole, the stone inlaid on the wall that emitted a soft light, Zhuang Xuan's spirit perked up, and he quickened his pace and ran in the direction where the light came from.
After more than fifty steps, Zhuang Xuan's eyes suddenly opened up, but Zhuang Xuan had already arrived at the stone chamber he had discovered before. Although Zhuang Xuan had explored this place with his divine sense before, when he was in the scene at this moment, Zhuang Xuan still had a sense of amazement.
After turning around the cave, Zhuang Xuan went straight to the stone wall with the handwriting engraved. Looking at the handwriting on the stone wall, Zhuang Xuan couldn't help but think of the scene when he was a child, when his father accompanied him to practice and teach him hunting skills.
"Father, where are you now?Do you know how much Xuan'er and Mother miss you?" Zhuang Xuan muttered, his eyes already filled with tears.
After a long time, Zhuang Xuan woke up from his sadness, wiped the tears from his face with his hands, looked back at the stone room again, and turned to leave. At the entrance of the cave, Zhuang Xuanjian frowned slightly, thinking about how to persuade the villagers to take refuge in this place.
That's right, when Zhuang Xuan heard the village chief say that there was going to be a beast tide in the mountains, Zhuang Xuan immediately thought of this nameless cave mansion. Although there was some tension about accommodating all the villagers in the cave, it was only a stopgap measure, and the villagers could return to the village after the beast tide had passed. As long as the person is still there, it is still acceptable to lose something.
Just when Zhuang Xuan couldn't think of a good plan, his eyes swept to the vines at the entrance of the cave, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"There it is!" Zhuang Xuan snapped his fingers excitedly. Immediately, a large number of vines were found at the entrance of the cave, and after weaving into a thick and long rope, he summoned the golden feather carving, straddled the back of the eagle with the rope, and flew upward.
At the top of Baizhang Cliff, Zhuang Xuan tied one end of the rope firmly to a big tree, threw the remaining rope down the Baizhang Cliff, and slid down the rope to the bottom of the cliff. When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, Zhuang Xuan tied the other end of the rope to the tree that grew in the air at the entrance of the cave, and pulled the rope hard, and Zhuang Xuan showed a satisfied smile on his face. clapped his hands, and then rode the golden feather eagle out of Baizhang Cliff.
"Third grandfather, how far is it?!When will I get there!I haven't even encountered a demon beast along the way, and I'm bored to death!" Xiao Ya complained from the depths of the woods.
"It should be soon! Your grandfather said let's camp near a village, and judging by the signs on the map, it should be almost there. Chen Youzhi took out the map, looked at it carefully, and said uncertainly.
"Where did this village come from! Grandpa is really, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd!" Xiaoya muttered dissatisfiedly.
Suddenly, Chen Youzhi, who was walking in front, waved one hand, and the team immediately stopped.
"All the disciples listen to the order, set up a large defensive array, and prepare for battle!" Chen Youzhi said with a serious face and a deep voice. When the disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect heard this, their hearts tightened, and they looked around, but they didn't see anything abnormal. Only a few powerhouses of the Bone Refining Realm had serious faces.
After a while, only a "rustling" sound was heard from the surrounding forest, and the disciples followed the direction from which the sound came, and when they saw the situation clearly, they immediately gasped.
I saw a group of black wolves, forming an encirclement from the distant woods, surrounding the people of the Spirit Beast Sect. As far as the eye can see, there are all black wolf heads, and it is initially estimated that there are at least three hundred. Although most of these black wolves are ordinary demon beasts, after all, there are a lot of them, and the situation of the black wolves at this time seems to be not good, their eyes are red, and they are staring greedily at a group of people from the Spirit Beast Sect.
Surrounded by the black wolf pack, some of the Spirit Beast Sect disciples felt chills in their hearts, and their bodies trembled involuntarily. Even the mounts under their crotches were limp and uneasily scraping the ground beneath their feet.
Xiao Ya grew up in the Spirit Beast Sect since she was a child, and her status was noble, how could she have ever seen such a battle! Although with the help of her elders, her cultivation had reached the early stage of the Blood Refining Realm, but after all, she had not gone through actual combat. At this moment, seeing that the people of his sect were surrounded by wolves, his little face suddenly turned pale, and a pair of small hands tightly grasped the hair on the snow lion's neck. The snow lion was in pain, let out a dissatisfied roar in his throat, and a pair of copper bell-wide eyes stared at the wolves in front of him, his front body was lowered, his limbs were exerted, and his whole body was tense, ready to pounce forward at any time.
"Protect the good miss!" Chen Youzhi drank to the disciples behind him.
Chen Shuangtong originally planned to take the opportunity to stay away from Xiao Ya, but the situation was urgent at the moment, and he heard Chen Youzhi's order, so he had to return to Xiao Ya and look around vigilantly. For a while, a strange confrontation formed between the wolves and the people of the Spirit Beast Sect.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a wolf howl came from behind the pack. After hearing this roar, the wolves stood upside down one by one, revealing their white teeth, and made strange noises in their throats, and they rushed towards the people of the Spirit Beast Sect.
