Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Wild West

"This is the wild west. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Mu Yuan slowed down his running speed and gradually stopped, and several teenagers behind him also stopped.

Qingkong sat on horseback and looked into the distance.

The sun here is harmonious, the air is full of flowers, and the temperature seems to be higher than that of Qingyun City, which is a more suitable temperature for people. In addition to the bare road known as the "Wilderness Road" beneath their feet, they were surrounded by a sea of colorful flowers, which also caused a burst of excitement among the deer. In addition, the scenery in the distance is even more charming, with bulging mountains covered in lush greenery, and mountains, rivers and streams standing quietly in the distance. Occasionally, a few indigenous herders were driving a few livestock in the distant grasslands, and their singing seemed to be heard in the wind.

"I actually call this place the barbaric West, I really don't see where the barbaric ...... here" Jin Ming was also shocked by the scene in front of him, and said everyone's thoughts.

Mu Yuan smiled and stroked his beard.

"The name Savage West has been around for hundreds of years, because it used to be a wild place. It may be because of the proximity to Zhongzhou, the land here is hard and lifeless, so there has always been no grass here, and there are some monsters living here who have escaped from Zhongzhou, so it is called the Wild West Wild. ”

"Then how can such a change be made now?" Qingkong asked with a smile as he watched the deer dance lightly in the sea of flowers.

"It's because there's a group of people who bring life to this place. Mu Yuan looked at the original inhabitants in the distance and said.

"Could it be the tribal Terrans?" Qingkong could only think of this group of Terrans who were called barbarians.

Mu Yuan nodded, and then fell into a memory: "Yes, it's them." In fact, they didn't come here reluctantly, your ancestors back then, that is, the first dragon warrior of the human race since the records of history......"

"Sun Knight - Qingyun!" blurted out.

The anecdote about this ancestor was the one he heard the most, and he had snuck into a mausoleum under the cloud palace, and the tomb of Qingyun was placed at the front. His deeds are inscribed on it: he unified the Terrans by abandoning their differences, created the largest city of the Terrans, Qingyun City, and built the entrance to the Dragon Valley for the promotion of the Terrans...... Many of these deeds crossed through Qingkong's mind, but he never found anything related to the tribe and human race.

"That's right, it's the Qingyun Leader," Mu Yuan didn't pay attention to Qingkong's sudden interruption and continued, "After he unified the human race, he began to divide the belonging of each family. The nomadic family Mu clan, who loved the grassland, was given the title of the eastern border, which is now the capital of herding. The strong family that is not afraid of the cold and likes ice, snow and cold has been sealed to the southern border, which is the Silver Trace Fort that perished back then......" Speaking of this, Mu Yuan had a slightly regretful look in his eyes.

"Then other forces, large and small, were divided around these places, and in the end, all that was left for those tribes and terrans was this once barren land. They were powerless to resist the powerful Qingyun City, so only the Ju clan had migrated here......" Mu Yuan was about to continue to talk about something, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted forward: "Not good!"

Qingkong also looked in the direction, and his green eyes were immediately covered with a layer of horror. Because the deer had unconsciously run away and indulged in the flowers, and behind her there were two steppe wolves, lying in ambush in the grass, eager to prepare the delicious fawn in front of her for dinner.

Mu Yuan's voice dissipated in the wind, and did not attract the attention of the deer. Fat Xiao didn't know where to fly to forage for food, and now the summoning was only in vain, Qingkong had no choice but to shout and run towards her with all his might, but he knew that this would not prevent the tragedy from happening, and when he ran over there, he would only see the cruel scene.

At the end of the day, a roar echoed through the vast western wilderness, the sound was long like a wolf howling, and the strength was like the roar of a bear king. It was a wolf bear! This was the first feeling in the sky, but this feeling brought him not fear, but joy. Sure enough, when the two steppe wolves heard this roar, their eyes were full of horror, and then they ran away with their tails between their legs.

Qingkong ran to the deer, who was still unaware, and bent down and gasped for breath, his palms already covered with sweat from nervousness.

Lu'er also seemed to be attracted by the sound of the wolf bear, looked at the running sky, and looked in the direction where the voice came from suspiciously, "Is it Brother Jin Ming's Heijun?"

Qingkong nodded, not mentioning the dangerous scene just now, but gently brushed away a weed hanging from the deer's head. Thinking back to that moment just now, he felt like he was about to lose her, and his heart was really like a knife.

Perhaps due to Qingkong's intimate movements, Lu'er's fair face was pink.

"This girl is still blushing......" The haze in Qingkong's heart was instantly swept away by her appearance, Qingkong stretched out his hand and rubbed Lu'er's shoulder-length short hair, "Let's go, go back." ”

In the distance, Jin Ming and the university scholars looked at them side by side, and they also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wolf Bear...... Any wolf or bear will bow down when they see it, and it is not a lie, as it is for every wolf and bear. At that time, the patriarch of the hunting clan, known as the 'Father Bear', its guardian beast was a wolf bear for nearly a hundred years, whether it was walking through the grassland or the forest, there would be countless wolves dancing with it everywhere it went, and the two-meter-high giant bear opened the way for it. At the time of the Battle of Zhongzhou, there were thousands of beasts fighting for it. Mu Yuan looked at the wolf bear lying on the ground behind Jin Ming, "Although your wolf bear is still only a juvenile, this roar just now is enough to prove its kingly spirit." ”

The university scholar's slight compliment made Jin Ming's face unnaturally put a smug smile, and he responded with a smile: "Hehe...... Although my 'Black Monarch' is not as powerful as Xiaokong's fat, he can also stand alone at critical moments!"

"You're right, this cub would be an invincible weapon, but ...... Its owner is just a little weaker. Mu Yuan mercilessly broke Jin Ming's face.

But Jin Ming didn't mind the tricky words of the university scholars, but instead looked ambitious, his eyes yearning, and he said in a firm tone: "I know, so I will work harder, and strive to become a more powerful and powerful 'bear rider' than 'Father Bear', so that I can protect the people I love and prevent them from being harmed!

Jin Ming's words made the university scholars look at him with admiration, he thought that this little fat man was just a little smart mind, but he didn't expect him to have such "ambitions". After all, Father Bear's wolf bear is nearly a hundred years old, and his cubs are not comparable in strength, speed or experience. Moreover, the person who controls it is also the best hunter in the world, and such a combination is even more invincible. So if he wants to surpass Father Bear, he still needs to work for a few years.

However, the university scholar is still very happy that he can have this kind of thinking, after all, the first step to success is to have a high ambition. But the expression on his face was as calm as water, and he said with some disapproval: "It would be great if you could achieve it, if you can't, it doesn't matter, after all, retaking Qingyun City can't be achieved by one person's success." ”

"I ......"

In the distance, Qingkong and Lu'er had already rushed back, and Jin Ming's words were swallowed back.

In the blink of an eye, it was nearly evening, and the scholars suggested resting on a high ground near a creek, and they tied their horses to a tree stump not far from them, surrounded by a dense patch of young grass, which was enough for them to replenish their strength.

And the fat little also brought them food, it was a large amount of sheep, looking at the round flesh on its belly, and its limbs were thick, and everyone could not help but wonder if it was caught from the sheepfold of some original herdsman. But they didn't have time to think too much, and their stomachs had already protested for a long time. The fat man used a long dagger with a slender blade and a red dragon engraved on the handle of the knife to disembowel, which had been bitten to death by the fat sheep.

Since Lu'er was not used to seeing this bloody scene, she and the university scholars prepared firewood and collected some clear stream water that could be drunk. And Qingkong accompanied the fat man, watching him clumsily cut every piece of meat on the fat sheep's body. In the past, when he hunted with his retainers, he never caught anything (except for the small hares, of course), but he always enjoyed the prey they hunted: wild boars, wild goats, wild deer, and if lucky, even wild bears. Among the people who travel with them, there are always butchers who skillfully peel and clean them, then set up the grill and sprinkle the spices......

However, although the fat man's technique is not skilled, this long dagger is really sharp, and it is cut off as soon as it touches the whole piece of meat without pulling at all.

"Where did you get the dagger?" asked Sky with interest, "I remember you never carried a weapon. ”

"At the Blazing Master's. At that time, there were many weapons hanging in his house, and when I followed him through the secret passage, I took one in my hand, because ......" Jin Ming took out a large pile of internal organs from the belly of the sheep and threw them to the wolf and bear on the side, "because I couldn't trust him, but then I ......"

Both were silent.

The strong smell of blood stimulated the nerves, and they were no longer young teenagers who didn't know anything. They know that their situation is no longer like before with the protection of the family, and even if others are angry, they can only swallow their anger. When the family is ruined by someone's poisonous hands, if you don't have the strength, then the end is like a fat sheep in front of you, slaughtered, and discarded with disgust.

When Jin Ming turned a fat sheep into a few legs of lamb and a few chops, and the university and the deer also lit a bonfire, then night really fell. Qingkong and Jin Ming threaded the mutton with thick branches, and walked near them, only to find that the university scholar was chatting with Lu'er, and when they saw Qingkong coming over, Lu'er's emerald eyes crossed a subtle smile, and there was a trace of shyness on his face.

Of course, Qingkong, who was in a somewhat depressed mood just now, did not notice this delicate scene.

The lamb leg and lamb chops were placed on the flame, and the fragrant juice jumped on the lamb in an instant, and although there was no seasoning, it was still fragrant.

The four of them felt extra warm sitting around the campfire, because they were on higher ground now, and it was inevitable that there would be some wind chill at night.

"Let me tell you, little deer, fat brother, I used to hunt a lot, and I can be considered a good hunter......"

Jin Ming's boasting whistled in Qingkong's ears, and his humorous words made the deer on the side giggle from time to time. I have to say that this sheep is really fat, and Qingkong is very relaxed while biting on the burnt leg of lamb while listening to their laughter. It's been a long time since I've felt this feeling.

He looked into the distance, and the moonlight reflected the green of the grass under the high ground.

He looked at the sky, and the stars and the moon were so close that it seemed as if he could catch them, and he felt them getting closer and closer......

When the sky finally came to his senses, he realized that it was not a feeling, but it was really getting closer, but it was not a star, but hundreds of torches.

"Oh no!" Sky stood up suddenly, and now he could see his surroundings more clearly. The owners of the torches were all sturdy and strong-looking, with a crooked machete in their hands, a longbow on their backs, and a strong wild horse.

Not only that, but they were surrounded by all sorts of ferocious beasts, leopards, wolves, and vultures......
