Chapter 18 Ape Wing Mountain Meets White Wolf
Xia Zhen's sword flew, and disappeared into the vast sea of clouds in an instant.
Under the sea of clouds, it is the morning of the world.
The emerald peaks are scattered across the emerald earth, and the mist between the mountains is silky.
When the bright glow meets the morning mist, it instantly becomes as gentle as water.
She quietly descended into the dense bamboo forest outside the village and walked towards the thatched hut at the edge of the village.
Curling in the smoke place, slowly returning.
Feeling timid, Xia Zhen unconsciously slowed down.
Several children ran up to them, one of them holding a kite in his hand, and they were surrounded by cheerful laughter.
They ran past Xia Zhen and looked at her with curious eyes, and Xia Zhen smiled in return.
When the children saw that she did not look like a bad person, they turned and continued to run towards the river......
In the green grass at the water's edge, unknown white wildflowers are blooming, and the shallow river is rippling with blue waves. An arch bridge made of bluestone, erected at the narrowest part of the river, happens to form a beautiful circle with the reflection of the river.
Xia Zhen looked back at the children's backs, and couldn't help but smile at the corners of her mouth.
As she approached the thatched hut, the dilapidated bamboo fence showed signs of repair, and the fallen leaves in the courtyard seemed to have been swept away.
Xia Zhen stood a little nervously outside the bamboo fence and shouted softly, "Is anyone there?"
How she wished that her father would come out of the thatched hut and greet her with joy. And she is just a daughter who has just returned home after a long trip.
But what awaited her in front of her was endless silence.
The door was open and unlocked. Gently pushing the door, the room was indeed empty, and a deep sense of loss rippled in her heart.
Unintentionally lowered his eyes, but saw that the "peach blossom beauty" on the pear blossom wooden table next to the bed was nowhere to be seen.
Xia Zhen looked around, and it turned out that the painting had been carefully framed by the owner and hung on the wall next to the bed!
It seemed that her father was really alive!
I just don't know where I am now?
Xia Zhen sat alone at the pear blossom wooden table, looking through the window at the nearby riverbank and the gently rolling mountains in the distance.
If you are not the reincarnation of Nuwa's descendants, you will be like those children just now, in this green mountains and green waters, mist and twilight, grow up carefree!
Plough an acre of fertile land, set up a vegetable garden, and the people you love together, wake up in the morning light, drunk in the twilight. The warm moon-like face of Senior Brother Wuchen suddenly appeared in her mind......
It's just that fate makes people, and there is no if.
She came to the courtyard alone and wandered for a long time.
A village woman passed by and saw Xia Zhen in a pink dress, she was quite curious, so she asked.
"Is this girl here to find Brother Lin? Who are you?"
Xia Zhen turned her face, and the woman was even more surprised, this delicate face like a peach blossom seemed familiar.
Brother Lin? It seems that his family name is Lin?
She replied politely.
"Auntie, I'm Xia Zhen. Do you know where this owner has gone?"
When the woman heard that the girl's surname was Xia, her eyes could not hide her loss.
She said leisurely: "Brother Lin went into the mountains to hunt a few months ago, and he just came back the day before yesterday. I saw him hurrying out again this morning, probably to which mountain he had gone? Alas! It is pitiful to live alone, lonely!"
Xia Zhen was inexplicably sad for a while.
She remembered the first time she had returned to the thatched hut and made a vow in front of Brother Wuchen. We must eradicate the white wolf demon and avenge our mother!
But now, she doesn't even have the ability to protect herself!
She said goodbye to the woman and decided to continue to find an immortal mountain to cultivate, and by the way, to find her father's whereabouts.
......
Three hundred and eighty miles east of Tangting Mountain, there is an ape wing mountain.
There are many monsters, strange snakes, and strange fish in the water, and strange trees grow in the dense jungle, with intricate roots, lush branches and leaves, and a tree is in the sky.
If humans strayed into this mountain, or got lost in the jungle and couldn't find their way out, or were brutally injured by ferocious monsters, most of them never returned.
Thinking about it, my father has many years of hunting experience, and he will not easily put himself in danger.
Xia Zhen continued to fly with her sword, wanting to cross the strange mountain as quickly as possible......
Suddenly, a wriggling white spot in the canyon caught her eye. Having confronted the White Wolf Demon head-on, she is instinctively sensitive to white animals.
Xia Zhen wanted to see what was going on, so she quietly landed on a thick ancient tree with dense foliage beside the valley.
Looking through the gaps in the leaves, it was really a white wolf! its fur was like snow, and it shone harshly in the sun.
White wolf demon?
Xia Hao subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword.
Looking closely, the white wolf seemed to be wounded, and at this time it was crawling on the ground, slowly advancing towards the stream in the valley.
There was a red trail of blood on its back, and the blood was oozing out of its white fur and spreading all over its body, dripping with blood and falling to the ground, leaving a string of vermilion trails.
It rested on the bluestone for a moment, struggling to its feet. He had just taken a few steps forward, and then he fell weakly on the angular rock, panting.
This white wolf demon seems to be dying soon! Every living creature has its own destiny for its arrival and departure! Why don't you let him fend for himself?
Since the ancient immortals, humans, and demons coexisted in the world, and if any side was wiped out, the world would become incomplete.
She wants to avenge her mother, but she only plans to subdue the demon king Baizong, so that he will be behaving in a proper manner from now on, and the entire demon world will not dare to make a mistake, and immortals, humans, and demons can coexist in harmony.
Xia Zhen was about to leave with Edgeworth, but saw a strange bird suddenly fly out of the dense forest. This bird resembles an ordinary pheasant, but it has three heads, six eyes, six legs, and three wings.
Three strange birds landed on a branch near the white wolf and chirped at it, as if to ventilate the news.
Sure enough, a moment later, a white-bodied beast came from the dense forest. The monster was shaped like a giant goat, with white fur all over its body, but it had four ears and nine short tails. What's even more bizarre is that one of its eyes was actually born on its back!
Xia Zhen, who was hiding behind the dense leaves, suddenly understood, it seemed that these three strange birds were using piercing chirps to remind the white-bodied beast of the specific location of the opponent.
The white-bodied beast spun around in place, then suddenly jumped up, lowered its head and rushed towards the white wolf on the ground. A pair of strong, stout horns pointed straight ahead......
There were craggy rocks within a few feet of all sides, and the white wolf was obviously unable to hide, and it even closed its eyes in despair.
At the moment when the pair of horns were about to stab the white wolf's body, Xia Hao suddenly unsheathed his sword.
A cold light flashed, and the white-bodied monster immediately jumped over the white wolf and landed on the stone pile on the bank of the river, spinning in place like crazy, roaring incessantly.
It turned out that Xia Hao's icy sword qi stabbed the eye on the back of the white-bodied beast.
The three birds fluttered their long wings in surprise and flew into the dense forest, their shrill chirpings filled with panic.
Hearing the cry, the white-bodied beast roared and disappeared into the depths of the forest.
Xia Hao flew lightly in front of the white wolf, who was staring at her with a pair of bright eyes, and the pair of black pupils were deep and distant.
Its eyes do not have the ferocity and evil of ordinary white wolf demons, but they are a little clear and sincere.
The White Wolf Clan is supposed to live in the northern Yushan Mountain, how could it appear in this Ape Wing Mountain where monsters roam?
It seems that this is an ordinary white wolf, not a demon clan?
Heaven has the virtue of a good life!
She leaned over to examine its injuries, and the white wolf lay quietly, motionless.
She condensed her mind and injected some spiritual power into it to protect her heart, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiaobai, let's go home early! This Ape Wing Mountain is not a place for ordinary humans and beasts!" Xia Hao stroked the white wolf's head and said softly.
As if he understood, the white wolf tried to get up slowly, and his strength really recovered a lot.
It ran to the edge of the stream and stuck out its tongue to drink a few sips of water, and several strange fish in the stream unceremoniously jumped out of the water and slapped the white wolf on the cheek and ears with their tails and wings, as if to warn it: "This is our territory, Hugh must come close!"
The white wolf choked on the water in fright. It subconsciously took a few steps back, and couldn't help but look back at Xia Zhen.
Xia Hao waved at it, and the pink skirt fluttered gently in the breeze.
The white wolf finally turned away and ran downstream along the stream......
