Chapter 2: The Zen Master (1)
On the snow bridge, patches of crimson bloom beside the horses' hooves. The blood melts the remnants of snow.
The wolf's limbs were powerless, and he sat on the horse and staggered, gasping for breath. He clung to the saddle and never landed on the ground. Coughing up another mouthful of blood, Fang relieved himself. He straightened his waist, and saw the wolf king's sharp gaze piercing his eyes, and the flying wolf fell to the ground like falling into an ice cellar, and his heart hurt and fell to the ground.
The rest of the crowd were terrified, and they all retreated, exposing the wounded flying wolf to the front.
The candle dragon took a few steps forward and pulled the flying wolf to his horse, and said, "Brother Fei, how are you?" ”。
The flying wolf shook his head and gasped, "What kind of magic is this?" ”
The candle dragon shook his head and said, "I don't know, it should be curse-type witchcraft." ”
Facing a strong enemy, the flying wolf knew that he might not survive tonight. But he is a warrior, and a warrior has to face death at any time. He had thought of countless ways to die, and the only thing that satisfied him was to fight and die. Being powerless to fight back like this is worse than letting him die directly.
The flying wolf said with difficulty: "There are only flying wolves who died in battle, and there are no flying wolves who flinch." Brother Candle Dragon, you let me dismount, and I will fight it to the death......"
Seeing that the flying wolf couldn't even speak, the corners of his mouth were still bleeding, his face was gray, and the tip of his forehead was already black, obviously not far from death.
Candle Dragon said: "Don't do this. ”
The candle dragon looked back, only to see those lieutenants cowering one by one, looking down at their horses, not even daring to raise their eyelids.
He secretly hated in his heart: these people are usually high-spirited, and they are more expert in killing people than one another, but now they have encountered a strong enemy, and they are all afraid of each other. He shouted: "Can you survive by showing weakness? ”
The group's heads were lowered even deeper.
The candle dragon was furious, shouted violently, the sword in his hand ignited a raging golden flame, and with a force of his legs, the whole person flew up like a cannonball, and stabbed straight to the left eye of the wolf king.
The scorching golden flame reflected half of the candle dragon's face as if dyed with a layer of sunset. He raised his eyebrows like an angry King Kong. In mid-air, the whole person was on fire, as if a sun appeared in the dark night, drew an arc, and attacked the wolf king.
Just as the Candle Dragon's sword approached the Wolf King, the Wolf King suddenly burst out, and a huge wolf claw slapped towards the Candle Dragon's shoulder.
The wolf's claws were attached to the sharp ice, and the icy mist dimmed the candle dragon's flames a little.
If this grasp is confirmed, I am afraid that the candle dragon's arm will be cut off.
The candle dragon was shocked, and when there was no room for it, the sword that pierced the wolf king's eyes changed to stab the wolf's claws.
The sword grasps intersected, the flames and the ice collided together, and there was a hissing sound, and the man and the wolf on the bridge were instantly shrouded in mist. The huge fog was like a giant beast, and soon engulfed the entire bridge.
Although the Candle Dragon's blow did not pierce the Wolf King's eyes, his sword was also inserted into the Wolf King's claws, and the flames instantly scorched half of its arms.
The wolf king screamed in pain and rolled to the ground.
The candle dragon was also uncomfortable, his strength was not as good as that of the wolf king, and he was slapped to the ground by the wolf king. The bridge shook, and cracks spread open.
The wolf king rolled over, bared his fangs, followed by another claw, and pressed the candle dragon to death.
As soon as the wolf king gave an order, the wolves swarmed up and killed several adjutants in an instant.
After the candle dragon used this blow just now, he was already at the end of the crossbow, and he felt a cold chill on the back of his neck, and smiled bitterly in his heart: It's over, I didn't expect to die here.
Just as the wolf king was about to bite the candle dragon to death, the bright moon in the sky dimmed. At the same time, the sound of "jingle bell, jingle bell" floated in the sky in the distance, and this sound flickered far and near, high and low, like a ghost in charge.
The candle dragon who was pressed under the wolf's claws was overjoyed and shouted, "Master! The candle dragon seized the opportunity of the wolf king's stunned moment, rolled hard, rolled under the bridge and hid.
The wolf king lost his prey and was about to chase after him, when suddenly, there was a loud thud in the sky, followed by a black bell the size of a water tank. The bell scattered light, and the wolf who was struck by the light immediately fell to the ground, and could not stop wailing, and in a moment he was paralyzed a lot.
Seeing this, the wolf king knew that this bell was something it could not compete with. It let out a rapid roar in its throat, glanced unwillingly at the place where the candle dragon was hiding, and with a roar it led away with hatred.
The Flying Wolf and the others cleaned up the remnants, and because Mu Ren was seriously injured, the troops did not listen to the orders of the Flying Wolf and the Candle Dragon, and everyone had to return to Mu Ren's tribe.
The wolf king was defeated by a bell, and after a long gallop, he led the wolves to a mountain col. There are animal bones everywhere, as well as frozen cows, sheep, and elk. The wolf king first took out the internal organs and the best meat of the corpse, and filled his stomach before the wolves dared to eat it.
The wolf king took his sword from his claws and took it into a cave. The sword was like a small furnace, and it didn't take long for the ice in the cave to melt.
The wolf king was surprised to see it, and thought beautifully in his heart: I got a treasure this time, but it's a pity that my body can't use it, if it's a human body, it would be good.
It had dug a pit, and the stabbed paw was bleeding as it plowed. It wasn't until the soil around it was stained red with blood that the pit was dug up. Then, it buried the sword in the earth.
The wolf king licked the wound on his paw, thought of the candle dragon, and said in his heart: This person should be a human powerhouse, leaving such a serious wound on my body, I don't know when it will heal. Look at it like this, you have to raise it for a year and a half. Hmph, I'm cheap for you this time, don't let me meet you in the future, otherwise I'll turn you into poop. Ho, it hurts.
It felt its claws gradually numb, and judged that it was not only burns and trauma, but also fire poison. It tried to suppress the fire poison with its ability to control the ice, but to no avail.
The wolf king chewed some dried plants, put them on the wound, sprinkled urine, and wrapped the wound with mud. After thinking for a while, he got up and walked out of the hole, only to see three or two seriously injured wolves lying crookedly on the ground. The wolf king personally sent them to heaven, and one by one they were bitten off their throats, and the rest of the wolves looked up to the sky and howled for a while.
After settling the number of wolves, it lost nearly one-tenth of its wolves and killed a snow wolf. The snow wolf is its most precious warrior, and now there are only six of them in front of it.
The wolf king thought to himself: I can't let them be damaged again.
The wolf king passed through the pack, and the wolves followed him in a line, two neat columns.
Behind it are two of the most majestic snow wolves, one is a wolf mistaken for a wolf king by a flying wolf, and the other is a wolf with a grim and cruel gaze. The four snow wolves behind are a little smaller, and then there are ordinary wolves, but they are also extremely majestic wolves. They walked out of the col and let go of their footsteps and galloped through the snowy mountains.
They ran for two days and two nights, until they were hungry, and then they drooped their tongues and came to another col.
It is far away from humans, and there are fewer domestic animals such as cattle and sheep in storage, and most of them are ice deer, so there is not much to eat. The wolf king hastily ate a few bites of meat, and then went to the side to pretend to sleep.
After resting their strength, they ran for another three days and three nights before the wolf king led his warriors to the destination of this trip.
It's in the middle of the polar night, and it's not a place where humans can live. Here, just the wind from the sky can blow people's skin, and soaking and urinating can instantly freeze into a column of water. Ice slag and sand that have been swept up by tornadoes can be seen everywhere, and it is easy for ordinary people to get in, but it will become a pile of broken ice when they come out.
For so many days, the wound on the wolf king's paw has not improved at all, and the injury has become more serious. If it weren't for the wolf king's own strength, and his demon power was not weak, coupled with proper handling, I'm afraid that the entire claw would have been rotten.
With a breath of white air, the wolf king burrowed into an ice cave that had once been the lair of an old dragon.
Two years ago, the wolf king took advantage of the old dragon's outing to lay traps in the cave, and these traps were all trophies of the wolf king's robbery of humans. Among them was a powerful ballista that could be attacked from a distance, and the Wolf King had to work hard to transport it here.
When the old dragon returned to the cave, he immediately noticed that there were traces of uninvited guests, and he raised his vigilance to patrol in all directions. Although it had found the trap, it had no idea of its power, and it mocked the ballistas, which in its eyes were as small as chopsticks, and felt that it could not break through its scales.
But it's old, it's gone, and it's born with a love for the odd.
The wolf king saw through the characteristics of the old dragon's pride, greed and curiosity, and when he looked at the siege ballista, he was surprised and hit the old dragon's navel with one shot, seriously injuring the old dragon in an instant.
The Wolf King ordered his men to surround the place, and he personally commanded the battle, taking care of every detail.
The old dragon tried to break through several times, but was beaten back.
After a long time, the old dragon became too weak to lift its wings. The wolf king naturally ate the old dragon into his stomach, and did not leave a drop of blood or a bone for his subordinates. It took more than a year to digest it, and after that, the wolf king was stronger than before, and his demonic power also increased by leaps and bounds.
After killing the old dragon, this place became the lair of the wolf king.
In this barren land, the wolf king will hardly encounter danger, and it is an excellent place to recuperate.
The wolf king's external injuries and burns are easy to treat, and the key is the fire poison contained in it. If the fire poison is allowed to erode, the wound will not heal, and the longer the wound is exposed to the air, the more likely it is to become infected and fester, and then only the strong man will break his wrist.
The fire poison in the wolf king's fire was extremely fierce, and its left front paw was numb and painful. After a few days, even the arm and the left side of the face became numb, and sometimes it involuntarily twitched its cheeks, thus revealing its hideous fangs. The wolf king deduced that if the poison was not expelled, the fire poison would probably enter his brain in the end, and he would die at that time.
The treasures left behind by the old dragon are countless, and the most common ones are sparkling gold. In addition, there are also treasures on earth. For example, the martial arts and combat techniques in the human world, the out-of-print images left by the ancient saints, the precious materials from the heterotopic plane, and the ice soul agate that has been frozen for thousands of years......
This piece of ice soul agate, which is so cold that it is cold outside, is the life-saving straw of the wolf king.
As soon as the palm-sized agate was pulled out of the mountain of gold and silver jewelry, a layer of frost formed on the wolf king's beard, and then a layer of light appeared on its snow-white fur. The wolf king shook his body and fell from the ground with fine ice crystals.
This gem is sealed with a group of ancient ice spirits, which are constantly colliding inside. The more they collide, the more chills they create.
When the wolf king's claws touched the Ice Soul Agate, it suddenly felt a cold energy burrowing from the wound, along the arm, and the muscles and bones eroded by the fire poison immediately stopped being painful. The wolf king found a comfortable position, held the ice soul agate, yawned long, and his mighty body fell to the ground. His head was tilted, a long fangs were exposed at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were squinted, and he fell asleep.
Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the wolf king has been cultivating for several months, the sun is rising under the horizon, and there are also several hours of daylight every day.
New grass has grown in the area where humans live, but there is no sign of warming in this barren land. And the ice cellar was shrouded in white cold air due to the ice soul agate used by the wolf king, and it was even colder than before.
Although the wolf king's claws are no longer painful, and the external injuries have healed, the fire poison is still not exhausted. Recently, I've been even lazier, my left arm is sore and painful, and I feel dizzy with my brain, and my toothache is so bad that I can't eat meat, and I don't want to move. It was stunned for a while, and it fell asleep again.
On this night, there was no moon in the sky, only a starry sky. The night sky is extremely clean and cold. On the frozen land as far as the eye can see, an uninvited guest arrives in the distance.
