Chapter 1: A Lonely Boy
There was silence on the steppe at nightfall, and there was no sign of life under the sky, but a wave of slaughter was creeping in the distance.
A few regular wolf howls broke the silence of the Borean tundra, the most common and ferocious beast on the tundra of the Borean tundra.
They are the Howling Wolves of the North Wind, ruling the grasslands and tearing to shreds all enemies who dare to challenge their high status.
A vague figure slowly approached from a distance, and the whole figure gradually became clear. It wasn't until they got closer that they realized that the figure was a teenager, running at a terrifying speed, followed by a group of organized and disciplined North Wind Howling Wolves.
The nearest north wind howling wolf jumped violently and pounced on the back of the young man in front of him. However, the imaginary result did not materialize, and instead of being pounced by a beast twice his size, the boy dodged in an eerie posture and waved the bloody dagger in his hand lightly.
Poof!
The dagger slashed through the throat of the north wind howling wolf, and a stream of blood suddenly shot out. The boy sped up slightly to avoid the blood that spewed out, and at the same time dodged the fatal blow of another north wind howling wolf.
The dagger swiped again, and another strong north wind howling wolf fell.
Seeing their companions fall one by one, the wolves behind them had their eyes reddening and their pupils filled with bloodshot anger, and they were so angry at this human who dared to challenge their authority that they had to tear it apart and swallow his flesh to relieve their hatred.
The human teenager is running in a regular arc, so that the wolves behind him can keep catching up, or should I say that the wolves are deliberately catching up.
Along the way, no less than thirty North Wind Howling Wolves had turned into cold corpses, and the wounds of each wolf were in the throat, a thin and deep wound. Only those who often fight on the brink of death can do this.
Naturally, there will not be only such a group of North Wind Howling Wolves on the North Wind Tundra, and the number of each North Wind Howling Wolf Pack is not less than fifty, among which there will be a wolf king, who is the leader of the wolf pack and the head of the wolf pack. Every battle plan and attack pattern of the wolf pack is formulated by the wolf king and directly ordered.
The wolf king was in the middle of this group of wolves, its body was twice as large as the ordinary north wind howling wolf, and its entire body was glowing silver, which was in stark contrast to the gray of the ordinary north wind howling wolf.
The wolf king let out a scream again, it adjusted the battle plan again, and the formation of the wolves also changed slightly.
Three north wind howling wolves pounced on the human boy in front of them at the same time, and six sharp claws stabbed silently at the young man's back like a row of sharp knives.
The boy's speed suddenly sped up a point again, and he changed direction just in time. His movements managed to dodge the attacks of the two wolves, but he did not avoid the claws of the wolf behind him.
The sharp claws made a strange arc, and only to hear a "hiss" sound, a deep scar that could be seen in the bone appeared on the young man's body.
The wound was in the left upper arm, and the severe pain caused the boy's arms to lose coordination and his running speed was affected. However, the young man didn't pay attention to it at all, and still waved the dagger with his right hand at the original speed, sending the three North Wind Howling Wolves into hell one after another.
Soon, the boy accelerated again, and his left arm, which had been unable to move, miraculously recovered, the wound on his upper arm had healed, and his powerful arms swung perfectly again.
As the north wind howling wolf fell, the team chasing the boy became smaller and smaller. At the same time, the clothes on the boy's body were already in tatters, and there were scratches everywhere. It's just that the body is still intact, and the skin on the back is still flawless.
Finally, the wolf king stopped giving orders, because there was no one to carry out his orders, and it became a lone wolf.
There are many things flowing in the blood of the North Wind Howling Wolf, intelligence, cunning, cooperation, and courage, but there is no fear of death and escape. So the wolf king chose to continue fighting, even though it knew in its heart that its chances of victory were not great.
The boy no longer ran, but stood there and watched the wolf king quietly, he had been standing there for a minute, but he didn't make any movement.
Woo!
The Wolf King let out a scream and took the lead in attacking. I saw that the huge body slashed through the air as if it had no weight, and pressed against the human boy who was much smaller than it with a thunderous force.
A blinding light swept through the night, and then a fierce beast scream was heard.
Looking at the wolf king who fell to the ground, the young man put away his dagger, and finally showed a trace of excitement on his face.
The boy grabbed the corpse of the wolf king, and with a slight tear, the wolf king's chest was dead, and a huge heart appeared in front of him. The boy grabbed the heart with his right hand and pinched it gently, and a transparent bead fell out of the heart.
Looking at the beads the size of soybeans, the boy smiled slightly.
"It's been three days, and I've finally killed this group of North Wind Howling Wolves, I'm really tired, let's lie down for a while. ”
Holding the magic crystal in his hand, Nie Yun simply lay down on the ground, anyway, there were no more fierce beasts around. At this moment, there was a burst of warmth in his chest, and then it quickly spread to wounds all over his body.
"Good brother, fortunately with you, otherwise how could I, Nie Yun, kill these North Wind Howling Wolves, I'm afraid it would have already become food for the wolves. ”
Nie Yun touched the droplet-shaped pendant on his chest and muttered.
Soon, Nie Yun stood up from the ground, and then looked at the magic crystal he had just gotten, this is a valuable treasure, twenty magic crystals can be exchanged for a first-level magic weapon, which is something that can greatly improve combat effectiveness.
After putting away the magic crystal, Nie Yun turned around and walked into the vast night, leaving wolf corpses all over the ground.
This is the Shenlong Continent, which is a vast territory, countless secret realms, thousands of races, and a world of constant killing.
In order to survive, countless creatures have to fight with the enemies around them every day, and countless lives are eliminated by the cruel laws of survival every day.
Humans, on the other hand, are one of the few major races in the Divine Dragon Continent, occupying several important resource areas.
There is an extremely vast area in the southwest of the Shenlong Continent, of course, compared to the entire Shenlong Continent, this area is only an insignificant corner.
The Wind Yang Domain is a part of this area.
At this time, a courtyard that seemed to be not small was full of people, this was the Nie family in the Fengyang Domain, and it was also a powerful family in the Fengyang Domain.
On the high platform of the courtyard stood two middle-aged people, who looked like they were not of low status.
"I just received a message from the domain master, and this year's beast tide broke out ahead of schedule. ”
One of them, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, said in a deep voice.
"Our Nie family will send an elite and some young people to exercise every year, and this time will naturally be no exception, and I will announce the candidates sent this time, and those who hear the name will stand up. ”
"Nie Yan. ”
"Here!"
An excited voice came from the crowd, and then a young man who looked to be less than twenty years old walked out, and you could tell from the smile on his face how happy he was at this time.
"You are responsible for leading the archers of my Nie family, and in this Beast Tide operation, all archers will obey your orders. ”
Nie Yan stood in place with a stunned expression, forgetting to speak for a while.
"Nie Zheng. ”
"Here!"
A man of similar age to Nie Yan walked out of the crowd, carrying a very common spear on his shoulder, and he walked without a sound at all, which is the basic condition of being a gunslinger, because what they are best at is hiding their tracks and then striking a fatal blow. Completely different from archers who rely on speed and movement to fight.
"You are responsible for leading the gunners of my Nie family, and you must show the strength of my Nie family in this beast tide battle. ”
"Yes, Third Elder. ”
"Nie Yun. ”
As the voices of the three elders on the stage fell, a figure that seemed to be a little emaciated walked out, and his fair complexion and handsome face made the surrounding group of people suddenly lose color.
"Ha Luha, it's Brother Nie Yun, it seems that the captain of our warrior this time is him, and we are much more relieved to have a warrior like Nie Yun. ”
"Yes, Brother Nie Yun is not only powerful, but also kind, and I, Pang Tian, am the first to support him. ”
"You guys were too happy, didn't you find out that the ones sent out this time were all the children of the Nie family's side line? ”
"Brother, what do you mean by that?
"Shhhhh ”
"So, the people who were named were all cannon fodder sent by the Nie family?"
"Hmph, otherwise what do you think? Nie Yan and Nie Zheng are both little-known figures, and although Nie Yun has a good talent, he was adopted by the housekeeper Fu Bo after all, and he is not distressed when he dies. ”
At this time, Nie Yun had already received the order and returned, looking completely different from the other two, and his constricted brows could show that Nie Yun was already preoccupied at this time.
