Chapter 7 Into the Mountains and Forests

Hiding behind a raised rock and sitting cross-legged, Mo Yu's breathing soon became long, and a slight numbness began to come from the flesh and blood, I don't know if it was an illusion, today's slight numbness seems to have changed a little stronger than before. Mo Yu thought of the feeling that when he punched Xiong Tong that day, the blood was boiling and his body seemed to be torn apart, he didn't know how he made that amazing punch, and he didn't gain anything in retrospect, so he had to suppress his thoughts for the time being.

Half an hour passed quickly, Mo Yu opened his eyes on time, and the amount of power he lost before he got up quickly had been replenished. His eyes swept around, and he quickly recalled the proposed mountaineering route to make sure that he would not break into the range of activities of the disciples of the Four Seasons Sect, and then he stepped up the mountain.

The mountain road is rugged, and Mo Yu chooses to be a remote mountaineering place, and the mountain is even steeper, which greatly increases the difficulty of mountaineering. But for the sake of safety, it's worth it. His speed was much slower than his previous run, but he was still several times faster than ordinary people climbing mountains. With only the faint morning light, he can see the surroundings clearly and find the fastest path with the least effort and the fastest in the shortest time, his steps are still light and rarely make a sound, but every step falls extremely steadily, giving people a silent sense of strength. At a steady pace, in silence, we continued to go deeper into the mountains and forests.

The sun rises, and the sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the dense forest, shining on the thick fallen leaves on the ground. Mo Yu's footsteps fell, although the rot of the leaves at the bottom and the softness of the soil would make it difficult to exert force, but his figure was still steady, even if the footsteps were unstable, he could quickly adjust during the run. When he was a child, he competed with older children for food in order to survive, and he learned to cherish and grasp every bit of strength in order to survive after being injured again and again. This habit has been deeply imprinted in his bones, and it has been preserved until now, almost as an instinct. During his five years in Four Seasons City, his daily work was spent in unconscious calculations, and this reaction was only an almost instinctive reaction of his body.

Now the sky is bright, and everything around him can be seen clearly, but Mo Yu has become more cautious and slower in his actions. Because this place has penetrated deep into the inside of the Brute Mountain Branch, after leaving the safe area on the edge, there will be brute beasts at any time. With his current strength, although the idle brute beast is not afraid, the fight in the mountains and forests is always easy to cause more trouble, and once he is injured, he may be forced to interrupt this search. So Mo Yu could only be more careful, and at the same time secretly prayed that his luck would be better.

But today, his prayers clearly didn't work.

A light breeze blew on his face, bringing the damp smell in the dense forest, but a faint fishy smell in it could not escape Mo Yu's nose. His feet sank deep into the dead leaves, and the powerful braking force was transmitted forward, and suddenly a large area of rotten leaves was lifted, emitting a pungent fishy smell. Mo Yu couldn't care about these at the moment, he leaned forward slightly, he didn't know when there was an extra dagger in his hand, and his eyes looked forward coldly.

Three mountain wolves flashed out from behind the trees, baring their teeth slightly, and let out a threatening roar from their mouths. These vicious guys obviously have some simple wisdom, and they obviously had the idea of sneaking up behind the trees when they were hiding behind the trees, but they didn't expect to be discovered in advance. Their sharp front paws kept scratching on the ground, sensing the dangerous aura of the person in front of them, and they hesitated for a moment. But before the heavy snow closes the mountains in winter, they need to accumulate enough oil and water to support the test of winter, otherwise they can only be frozen to death and become food for other brute beasts.

The mountain wolf's eyes quickly glowed with green brilliance, Mo Yu knew that this was a sign that they were about to make a move, he kicked violently under his feet without warning, and his body suddenly burst out, and the friction between his body and the air stirred up a gust of wind, blowing away the fallen leaves on the way forward. The muscles of his whole body were tense, and every time he stepped under his feet, there would be a muffled sound like a hammer hitting a cowhide drum, and the distance between him and the mountain wolf of more than ten meters flashed, and the dagger in his hand was instantly slashed.

The mountain wolf on the opposite side didn't seem to expect the person in front of him to dare to make the first move, and its reaction was a little slower, it looked at the figure that pounced in front of it instantly, but there was no fear in its eyes, and it opened its mouth and bit it forward. Its teeth are sharp and sharp, and its bite power is surprisingly large, and it can easily bite through the thigh bone of ordinary people. But at the moment when the mountain wolf opened its mouth, Mo Yu's speed of swinging the dagger suddenly accelerated, bringing up an afterimage that slashed directly in front of it. He didn't pause in his movements, stepped hard under his feet, changed the direction of his body and pounced forward, and went straight to the mountain wolf on the left. And it was only at this time that the neck of the mountain wolf in the middle suddenly spurted out a stream of blood, and the huge wolf head fell to the ground, and the wolf seemed to be still a little confused during the rolling, and it seemed that he had not yet figured out why he was suddenly killed.

The death of their companions and the strong smell of blood will make the remaining two mountain wolves completely irritated, they know that the Mo language hides the strength of the force, and the culling is a little more ferocious and careful, but this cannot change the outcome of their death in the end.

The dagger slashed through a fierce trajectory, cutting off half of the head of the last mountain wolf, and blood spurted out. Mo Yu seemed to have expected this, and his figure dodged the baptism of wolf blood, his face was slightly pale, and his clothes were already wet with sweat. After a short moment of fighting, it seemed to be in danger, but it had already consumed a considerable part of the strength in his body. The three fat mountain wolves are no longer weak in this mountain forest, if it weren't for Mo Yu's habit of mountain wolves, and he killed the head wolf in the center with all his strength in advance, maybe the result of the fight would have changed.

But fortunately, it was he who won.

Looking at the wolf corpses on the ground, the dagger in his hand turned slightly, ready to cut off their claws and fangs in his mouth, this kind of sharp mountain wolf claws can be exchanged for a few treasure crystals in the weapon shop, which is more than Mo Yu's daily work in Four Seasons City. But I'd rather do twice as much work, and no one wants to face the three mountain wolves, because if you're not careful, you may lose your life. Mo Yu took a step forward, but at this moment, his body suddenly stiffened, and a drop of sweat dripped from the corner of his eye. At this moment, Mo Yu's tense body reacted instantly, kicked back hard under his feet, leaned forward and pounced like a cheetah, his feet strode down one after another, and the dense and low muffled sound stirred up the rotten leaves in the sky, and he couldn't hide his traces anymore, and fled frantically into the distance.

At the moment when he fled, the angry roar suddenly exploded behind him, and a huge mountain bear rushed out with agility that was completely inconsistent with its fat body, its wide and thick paws fell to the ground, and it made a loud bang, and the hard rocks under the thick rotten leaves were trembling slightly, you can imagine what kind of strength it would have under this palm, even if it is a master of the third-order physical cultivation power realm, I am afraid that it will be broken by its palm slap!

The mountain bear chased for more than a dozen steps, looking at the figure running quickly in his sight, his eyes showed a trace of hesitation, the huge figure slowly stopped, let out an unwilling low roar from the depths of his throat, and it turned around and pounced on the corpses of the three mountain wolves. Although it is true that human flesh and blood are much tastier, when it comes to chasing unknown prey and having a feast in front of them, the mountain bear chooses the latter.

Mo Yu had been fleeing for several miles, and only then did he stop after making sure that the mountain bear was not chasing him, and suddenly felt a sense of weakness coming from the hundreds of corpses in his limbs, and his tense muscles trembled slightly. And the worst thing is that the leg bone of his left leg is tingling at the moment. After slashing the head wolf with a knife before, he forcibly reversed the direction with his own strength, and his leg bones were already damaged under the heavy pressure, and in this moment of escape, he used all his strength to burst out at the fastest speed, losing a lot of physical strength, and also aggravating the damage to his left leg bone, making the originally not serious problem difficult.

He gasped for breath, frowned and lifted his leg gently, although the pain was not light, but he was sure that only the fascia in the joints was damaged and the bones were not wrong, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time quickly looked around. Chased by a mountain bear, his direction deviated from the original route in a panic, but fortunately, it was not a big problem, and he only needed to correct it in the next journey. Mo Yu raised his head, saw the direction of the sun through the dense leaves, and then silently calculated the hour, and then left. It's just that his current condition is not suitable for continuing to hurry, and finding a safe enough place to settle before there is no new trouble is the most urgent thing.

Fortunately, this time, Mo Yu's luck was not bad, half an hour later, when he used a dagger to pick up the thorns blocking the way, and climbed an oval boulder more than a foot high with his hands and feet, he finally arrived outside the cave in his sight. After sniffing the smell in the air and making sure that there were no brute beasts living here, Mo Yu walked in with confidence.

The cave is not high, and you need to bend slightly to enter, and the ground is uneven and slopes downward. The cave was a little dimly lit, but he could see the water at the bottom of the cave and a large patch of rotten straw that had long been soaked, and he finally understood why such a wonderful lair was not occupied by the brutes of the mountains. The open entrance to the cave is fine on weekdays, but when it rains, a large amount of rainwater collects along the ground into the cave, which is not destined to be a long-term living nest. However, Mo Yu only rested here for one night, so naturally he didn't have to worry about this.

Putting down the package behind him, taking out a ball of thin black thread, Mo Yu turned over and walked out of the cave, restoring the thorn bush that had been wading away, carefully winding the black thread, leaving enough space for swaying and pulling, holding one end in his hand, and carefully retreating into the cave. In this way, if a brute beast comes looking for it at night, it will inevitably pull the line, and Mo Yu will be able to detect it in advance. The brute beasts in the mountains are always smarter than people think, and without a strong enough force as a guarantee, it is impossible to be too cautious in the mountains. After taking Mo Liang to climb the mountain road back then, Mo Yu has always kept this in mind. Thinking about it now, it was really a very fortunate thing to be able to get out of the mountains alive at that time. If he was unlucky, he and Mo Liang would not be able to survive to this day.

Back in the cave, the tingling pain and muscle soreness during the walk made Mo Yu retract his thoughts. He took out a piece of treated odorless animal skin from the package, spread it on the flat rock, sat down and began to replenish his food. It is said that a true physical cultivation powerhouse can use the Yuan Force between heaven and earth to restore power, but Mo Yu is obviously far from this realm. The dry food was prepared by Sister-in-law Lin, and the large pieces of dried meat that had been cooked and dried were not heavy, but they were very satisfying, and they could recover faster. After eating seventy percent full, Mo Yu stopped eating, packed everything up, and began to close his eyes to recuperate, his breathing soon became long, the dagger and package were placed by his side, he could get it at hand, and he could react in the shortest possible time if there was an accident.
