Vertical day. Daybreak.

Early in the morning, Ye Xingchen woke up and went out to find Ling'er's location after washing, and when he found that he couldn't find Ling'er, he stopped at the door of the room, looked around, touched his nose, and said, "It's strange, it's early in the morning, where can Ling'er's girl go?" What's more, Ye Xingchen's eyes swept around, and even the old smoker was gone.

At this time, an anxious lady walked by the door. Ye Xingchen recognized her, Aunt Zhou. The first time I went to chop wood, it was the way that Mrs. Zhou pointed out. Ye Xingchen shouted "Aunt Zhou" and walked up. Aunt Zhou turned around when she heard the voice, and saw Ye Xingchen pretending to smile and said, "What's the matter, Ye Gongzi?" Ye Xingchen scratched his head, laughed, and said politely, "Auntie doesn't have to call me Ye Gongzi, just call me Xiao Ye." By the way, Auntie, do you know where Ling'er and the old man went?" I saw Aunt Zhou's eyes roll, looked at the position of the sun in the sky, and thought, "At this hour, Ling'er should be by the sea, as for Old Man Qin, the old man guessed that he should be in the mahjong hall in the north of the village."

From Aunt Zhou's words, Ye Xingchen knew three clues. Ling'er is on the beach, the old smoker's surname is Qin, and the old smoker is playing mahjong. Immediately nodded and said, "Thank you, Auntie" Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "It's okay, a village should take care of each other." After Ye Xingchen left, Aunt Zhou looked at Ye Xingchen's back, and said, "Ye Gongzi, no, Xiao Ye, are you free?" Ye Xingchen nodded back and said, "Yes, what's wrong with Auntie?"

The eldest lady's eyes were happy, and she said, "It's not my big baby, I took the rest of the brothers to hunt in the mountains last night, and I haven't returned yet, but I'm in a hurry, if it's convenient, can you help the eldest lady find it together?" Ye Xingchen bowed his head and said, "Okay, then I'll go." Ye Xingchen thought about helping Aunt Zhou find someone first, and then going to the beach to find Ling'er and tell him about letting the old smoker teach him alchemy, and finally took Ling'er to find the old smoker together. Therefore, there is no longer any hesitation and walks towards the back mountain.

Back Hill is located to the west of this small village. Because wild animals often haunt the back mountain, there is a separation zone between the village and the back mountain, and the head of the wooden fence is very sharp, and the whole fence is about 2 meters high. Every 100 meters there is a sentry post, which is used by the men of the village to guard the village on their own. The village is bordered by mountains to the west, woods to the east, and the coast to the south, and the only way to the village is to walk all the way north through the shallow woods to the next village. Surprisingly, the west side is more dangerous than the east side, which is also a mountainous place.

Ye Xingchen couldn't help but look towards the west and east sides of the village, and said curiously, "There are woods on both sides of the west and east, but there are more mountains in the west, isn't there a fierce beast in the east? Not to mention that there are often villagers in the east of the village to cut firewood, if the fierce beast wants to attack, shouldn't it be picked in the east? Why doesn't the east side need a wooden fence."

When Ye Xingchen walked to the fence, Niu Dalang, who was standing guard at the outpost, walked over. Niu Dalang is about 2 meters tall, with strong limbs and a red belt tied on the top of his head. Niu Dalang looked at Ye Xingchen and said lightly, "Little brother, it's not safe over there, don't go out"

"I'll help Aunt Zhou find someone, Aunt Zhou's son went out all night last night and didn't return," Ye Xingchen replied to Niu Dalang without raising his head. Niu Dalang smiled when he heard this, "I have already sent someone out to find it, based on your appearance, forget it" seemed to understand Niu Dalang's words, Ye Xingchen raised his head, looked at Niu Dalang and said, "I'm like this, what's wrong?" The pair of eyes like a falcon looked at Niu Dalang, who knew that Niu Dalang's heart suddenly trembled, and the whole person froze in place.

After a long time, Niu Dalang reacted that he had lost his temper, and coughed dryly, "Little brother's eyes are infiltrating, hehe, it's just that it's too dangerous outside, and the village chief said that he won't let people out anymore" Ye Xingchen became more and more curious in his heart, retracted his gaze, and said lightly, "How dangerous?" Niu Dalang smiled bitterly, "Don't look at the mountains are ordinary, but there are all kinds of fierce beasts preying on them, and those predatory beasts have predatory instincts, and they must be better than humans in extreme environments" Niu Dalang sighed, his face was bitter, and he said" Don't look at my well-developed limbs, I have encountered some wolves before, and I almost hung up after a few faces" After speaking, Niu Dalang raised his right hand, and at this time, Ye Xingchen's eyes shrank, and he found that there was a deep tooth mark on the back of Niu Dalang's forearm. Because of the positive angle relationship between the two, he didn't notice it before.

Although the tooth mark is smaller than his own palm print, the depth seems to be about the same, and if Niu Dalang's body is strong, he can almost be killed by the wolves, Ye Xingchen said, "I see, but I still want to go out and have a look." Niu Dalang looked at the young man seriously in disbelief, and said bitterly, "Little brother, are you really not afraid of death?" Ye Xingchen just smiled faintly and did not speak, but there was a small flame burning in his eyes.

Although it was necessary to help Aunt Zhou find someone, it was more because of the wolves. Judging from the comparison of the wounds, the attack power of the wolves and the old man of Li Jiahefa should be almost the same, if he can defeat the wolves, then the old immortal who beats himself to death with one palm will not be afraid. Niu Dalang had no choice but to sigh, without saying a word, he took out a small dagger from his waist and threw it to Ye Xingchen.

"This is the dagger forged by my father, little brother, you keep it for self-defense" Niu Dalang smiled innocently, for a person like him, advocating strength and courage, although Ye Xingchen is not tall and seems to be weak, who can be sure that he can't come back alive? Immediately, Niu Dalang took out a black iron pellet from his front breast pocket and threw it to Ye Xingchen, saying, "This is a wolf smoke bomb, as long as you smash it on the ground at a critical moment, a large amount of smoke can be generated, and we can know your location in time and rush to save you." ”

As a result, after the dagger and the wolf smoke bomb, Ye Xingchen smiled and nodded, "Thank you", and then put it on his belt, took out a dog's tail grass from his chest, put it in his mouth, and walked towards the mountain range......

The western mountain range is called the Wutai Mountain Range in the village, and from far to near you can vaguely see a total of five mountains, and it is said that each mountain range has a group of fierce beasts that occupy the mountain. However, the fierce beasts of the five mountains often tear each other apart because of territorial problems, so whenever the fierce beasts of the Wutai Mountains tear each other apart, the villagers will be given a chance to breathe.

The two closest mountains to the village are named One Peak Mountain and Two Peak Mountain. The entrance of Yifeng Mountain is directly in front of the village, and the second peak mountain is followed by the leopard and wolf packs. And Aunt Zhou's son, Dawa, went directly to Erfeng Mountain to hunt wolf cubs. Ye Xingchen naturally didn't know where the big baby was, but what he planned was to climb to the top of the mountain, close his eyes and use the method of chopping wood to find the big baby. I don't know when, Ye Xingchen had an extra dagger in his right hand.

He walked towards the top of a mountain......

The foot of Erfeng Mountain.

The bleak autumn wind howls in the mountains. A chill blew across the foot of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, seven people who looked like gods were back to back, but there were few arrows left in the quivers behind their bows and crossbows, and some of them were holding swords. Seven people had new injuries ranging from head to toe. The wound was in the shape of a tooth mark, apparently from a wolf's bite. He looked around vigilantly. From time to time, wolf shadows jumped back and forth on the rocks, looking at the seven people with fierce eyes.

It is worthy of being a natural hunter, and several wolves in the wolf pack keep circling back and forth, which seems to give the seven people huge psychological pressure. Dawa held her bow and arrows and said, "What are we going to do? There are too many wolves. Erwa snorted coldly and said, "Eat a few wolf cubs and kill us as a whole group, this group of beasts really gives us face!" Sanwa changed the sword in his hand, shook his right hand with stiff muscles, and said ruthlessly, "It's okay, it's a big deal" Qiwa also snorted coldly, and echoed, "Yes, if you want us to die, don't think about this group of beasts!"

Steeply, a wolf howl resounded through the valley, and when the seven people heard the sound, all of them tensed their nerves, and found a wolf with a long scar on the left nose, and howled, that should be the wolf king, right? Another gray wolf, who had just slowed down, suddenly jumped up and pounced directly on the nearest big baby. The eldest baby secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly shouted, "Be careful!" Immediately after that, the rest of the many wolves pounced in an instant! In just a moment, dozens of wolf claws swarmed up.

One Peak Mountain.

The wolf howl in that valley, Ye Xingchen naturally couldn't hear it clearly, but his right ear, which was keenly perceived, trembled slightly, and a faint sound came in, Ye Xingchen couldn't help but look to the right and wonder if it was a wolf howl, but unexpectedly, in the "rustling" jungle, there were a few leopards jumping out and a few small cats, looking at Ye Xingchen with some excitement in his eyes, after all, today is his first time hunting. Ye Xingchen slowly lowered his body, was slightly vigilant, counted the number with his eyes, and said secretly, "Six, the wolf has not seen the shadow, and the "little flower cat" has arrived a lot. With a sneer, there was not the slightest fear in Xingchen's eyes.

The leopard, the third in the food chain. It is well known that the animal chain is headed by the tiger, followed by the lion, then the leopard, and then the wolf. Therefore, leopards should be superior to wolves. However, the leopard's reproductive ability is not as strong as that of the wolf, and the wolf is on par with the leopard with its numerical superiority, so there will be today's confrontation situation.

"Roar" A leopard opened its mouth and roared at Ye Xingchen with sharp teeth, and the six leopards with a fierce face approached Ye Xingchen one by one. When the six leopards were ten meters away from Ye Xingchen, they all stopped. Ye Xingchen looked back and forth around the six leopards with a cold look in his eyes, because as long as they were within ten meters, Ye Xingchen would attack and defend!

The atmosphere is becoming more and more tense. Behind the six leopards, another leopard jumped over. Ye Xingchen's expression remained unchanged and muttered, "Seven." Who knew that after the seventh leopard gestured a few times at the roaring teeth and claws of the same kind in front of him, all the leopards glanced at Ye Xingchen, and that kind of look was like....

I watched the monkeys at the zoo, and I am the monkey now.

The corners of Ye Xingchen's mouth twitched, and he saw a total of seven leopards turn around and run quickly to the back. The rustling of leaves, after the leopard disappeared, Ye Xingchen stood up straight, looked at the direction where the leopard was gone, and muttered, "That sound should be a wolf howl, maybe Aunt Zhou's son Dawa is there, and the cats just now should have been called by the clan boss to fight with the wolves of Erfeng Mountain for the meat of seven people, and the lives of the seven people are the spoils of this battle between the two groups! In this case, the lives of the seven people are in danger! Ye Xingchen couldn't help but secretly say that it was not good, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the leopard......

After running for about dozens of minutes, a few small leopard cries attracted Ye Xingchen along the way, making him slow down, he carefully brushed aside the branches of the bushes, and found that the front paws of a small leopard were clamped by an iron clamp similar to a mousetrap, and the sharp iron clamp was deeply inserted into the leg of the little leopard, and bright red blood flowed out along the wound. The little leopard saw that the person who came was a person, and with some fear in his eyes, he lay on his side on the ground, squirming backwards. The screams in his mouth continued.

Ye Xingchen couldn't help but feel a little distressed, after all, he was also a little life, although he didn't know if he would eat people when he grew up, but Ye Xingchen still liked small cute things. So he stepped forward and said softly to the little leopard, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you" After speaking, he wanted to gently stroke the little leopard's forehead, but the little leopard opened his mouth in a hurry and wanted to bite, but was directly dodged by Ye Xingchen, Ye Xingchen smiled again, and said "Don't be afraid" The magic smile reappeared, which made the little leopard stunned, and immediately stopped calling. Ye Xingchen stroked it gently, and then pulled the iron clip away in the opposite direction with both hands. "Bang" body, the iron clamp was broken.

As soon as the iron clip was broken, the little leopard screamed in pain, and the blood in his leg rolled out, Ye Xingchen frowned slightly, this bloody smell is a bit heavy, this injury is so serious, what should I do? He touched all the pockets on his body and pulled out the Bone Pill on his body. Speaking of this Bone Pill, there are also some origins, this is the last two days Ling'er saw that Ye Xingchen could move on his own, and there were some Bone Pills that were put on the table after being alive and did not feed them personally, there were originally two, Ye Xingchen was going to go back and give one to his brother and one to his mother, who knew that he was going to give a little flower cat now, Ye Xingchen couldn't help but feel a little distressed. But after thinking about it, I don't have to worry about the pill for my mother to eat. At present, the "little flower cat" is so seriously injured, and I don't know if it is spiritual, so the dead horse should be regarded as a live horse doctor!

Now that he had decided, Ye Xingchen forcibly stuffed the Bone Pill into the mouth of the little leopard, which was swallowed by the latter. The amount of bleeding on the legs of the little leopard became less and less, and the little leopard in Ye Xingchen's eyes was as hot as he was at that time, because the visible skin wound was slowly healing! Ye Xingchen was overjoyed, "It really worked!" The little leopard who was about to faint from the heat was loaded on his chest. Keep going.

If other cultivators saw this scene, it is estimated that they would vomit blood in anger, although this Bone Burning Pill is a second-grade pill, but it is worth a lot of money, this kid actually gave a beast to eat directly out of compassion, this kind of person is probably going to be buried alive on the Great Wall in the Qin Dynasty, right?

The foot of Erfeng Mountain.

Fang Cai's wolf pack claws, teeth and teeth have injured seven babies, seven people have many new injuries, and there are also a lot of wolf corpses on the ground, the wolf king seems to be a little dissatisfied, after all, there are a lot of similar people killed in this hunt. Unexpectedly, the sound of jumping came into the ears of the wolf king, and the wolf king's fierce eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw the leopard group of a peak mountain!

The leopard at the head is the leopard with a scar on its right nose. With the arrival of the leopards, the seven wolves and the big baby who were originally entangled together all stopped involuntarily, and the seven of them all smiled bitterly

"The wolf is not over yet, the leopard is here again!"
