Chapter 17: The Hunt
Ling Hu Lin first walked around this Ruifeng City alone, and after inquiry, he learned that this city was originally a residential building that lived on this snowy field.
It is said that a knight named Ruiyuan organized them together, and it took more than 100 years to build the city.
Later, it took more than 200 years to repair it! Although the cost of manpower and material resources is huge, but in the current situation, it is worth it!
Since it is a city, then there must be a city lord, and the current city lord learned that he was a chivalrous man named Hou De after Ling Hu's understanding, and even had a place on the hero list!
And there are more and more people in this Ruifeng City, although the climate is cold, people can still get food in various ways, and there is almost no communication with the outside world.
In Ruifeng City, there is a team that goes out hunting to get food. They would go out hunting every once in a while, and the prey they caught would be bartered with the people of the city, and copper coins were not used much.
"Do you still accept people, and if so, I hope you can bring the boy with you. "Ling Hu is in a palace, and there are many people standing on both sides of the palace, all wearing animal skin coats and brocade hats and mink furs. And they unified their swords, three-foot black iron broadswords, and the back of the sword was even an inch thick! If they didn't have some skill, it would be difficult to wield it.
But in the hands of these strong men, it is as easy as wielding a small wooden stick, which shows that their strength must be good.
"Little brother, you have to think clearly, you may not be able to come back this time, and besides, it is so dangerous outside the city, if you ...... We can't explain it!" A man at the head was a little helpless, but more of a disdain, they didn't believe in Ling Hul's strength.
Ling Hu Lin raised his eyebrows, and said respectfully: "It's okay, although the kid's strength is not as good as yours, there is no problem with self-preservation." "What is the purpose of making Fox lonely out is to hone himself and make himself stronger, what is this little ordeal? Of course, Ling Fox Lone's strength is definitely stronger than these people, and they have not undergone special training. And Ling Hul's previous words were just self-humility.
Just as the man in charge was about to speak, another man walked up: "Big brother, tell a little kid what to do like this, the child has never seen the world, and he doesn't know what the sky is high and the earth is thick." Or I'll test it, and it's clear which is stronger and which is weak. As soon as the words fell, the man suddenly slashed the big knife in his hand to a distance of one inch in front of Ling Hu Lone, and the strong sword wind made Ling Hu Lone's long hair fly violently for more than ten seconds!
To the man's surprise, Ling Hu Lin didn't move, didn't even blink his eyes, and even smiled at the man. Such courage surprised everyone present!
"Hehe, it's really not an ordinary child!" the man said with a smile, stretching out his hand to shake hands with Ling Hulone, "My name is Lan Yide, what's your kid's name!, and how do you know that my knife won't cut down?"
"The list is a 'silence'. Ling Hu Lin also stretched out a hand to shake Lan Yide's hand, "Intuition." ”
But in the next moment, Lan Yide was speechless, and the hand that shook hands trembled slightly. The person standing far away may not be able to see anything, but the man in the lead can see it clearly, Ling Hu Lin seems to be shaking hands easily, but Lan Yide wants to treat each other with all his might.
It seems that this kid is really not simple! The man at the head couldn't help but sigh secretly.
At the same time, he stepped forward to shake hands with Ling Hu Lone, but at this time, Ling Hu Lone did not exert any more force, as long as the effect was good, there was no need to do it so much. It would not be good if it aroused hostility now, and in any case they were going to go out of the city together, and if they were attacked by these crowds at that time, even Ling Hu would definitely not be comfortable.
After a brief understanding, Ling Hu Lin learned that the man who was the leader was also the captain of this team, Wu Ming.
Soon, the group left the city under the gaze of countless people.
"How is it?, this armor is not bad!" Lan Yide patted Ling Hulone's back boldly, "Big brother, I find that the more I look at the kid, the more pleasing it becomes." I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll be waiting for. After speaking, Lan Yide took another big knife and handed it to Ling Hulone.
"No, I have my own. Ling Hu Xiao did not accept it, but replied with the 'dust' hanging on his waist.
"Little brother, your sword should be very good, look at this scabbard, tsk. Lan Yide's eyes straightened all of a sudden, and he stared at the 'dust' on Ling Hul's waist with a look like a son, and he couldn't help himself for a long time.
"Hey, Yide, let's go!" It wasn't until a middle-aged man woke Lan Yide from this state that Lan Yide reluctantly took his eyes off the 'dust' and began to pace forward slowly.
Not long after they set off, Ling Hu Lin and his party were covered with snow, and even froze under the extreme cold.
At this time, the captain Wu Ming came out to remind everyone to pat off the frost on their weapons, so as to prevent an emergency from being difficult to solve at that time. Ling Hu Lin suddenly remembered that he had encountered such a situation when he was dealing with that giant bear, which was not unsafe!
Thinking about it, Ling Hu Lin pulled out the dust again, disposed of the broken ice on it, and inserted it into the scabbard again.
The situation of Ling Hul's 'Dust' will be much better than other people's broadswords, after all, the scabbard of 'Dust' is made of wood, and it is not so easy to freeze. And they are black iron sleeves, which are naturally prone to freezing, so they have to be cleaned every once in a while.
Soon, they encountered their first prey, the snow leopard, perhaps because they were so accustomed to living in the Far North that their fur had turned snow-white to better conceal themselves. But if you look closely, you can still easily spot its whereabouts, and its huge size betrays him.
"Big brother, I'll go first!" Lan Yide laughed, at this time, Lan Yide is often the one at the front.
I saw him waving the big knife in his hand over and over again, shouting something, but the wind was so loud that he couldn't hear it clearly.
"Hey, Yide, don't be in a hurry to go alone!" Wu Ming shouted at Lan Yide, his words full of worry, "Let's go too, even if one of us is injured, it will be a huge harm to the group. With that, Wu Ming followed with a dozen strong men.
Ling Hu Lin didn't speak, just followed behind, and a beast of this level couldn't pose the slightest threat to Ling Hu Lin at all. Naturally, there is no interest in it.
Lan Yide brought an extra knife to Ling Hu Lone, but Ling Hu Lone didn't use it, so he used two big knives by himself to slash the snow leopard one after another, and the attack was extremely fierce!
But soon its disadvantages also became apparent, although the two knives were more ferocious, but their weight also made it difficult for people to fight for a long time, and after fighting for a while, Lan Yide felt a sense of weakness in his hands. This is also the reason why they usually only wear a knife to fight.
Fortunately, everyone arrived in time and stabbed the snow fox to death, and Lan Yide's arm was gone. Even though Lan Yide wears armor, in front of the snow leopard's teeth, it is simply nothing!
"Cut, this brute, it's quite energetic. Lan Yide gasped, "Today's first prey is here, hahaha......"
"You laugh at the fart, do you know how dangerous you were just now, next time we act together, don't be reckless!" Wu Ming scolded Lan Yide angrily, and at the same time grabbed the snow leopard and threw it at a strong man, looking up at the sky. "Let's go, be careful, it feels like the snow is going to fall heavily. ”
Sure enough, after Ling Hu Lin and the others walked forward for about a quarter of an hour, the snow suddenly became larger, and the visibility was only a stone's throw away. A patch of white filled everyone's eyes, and at the same time, the biting chill became more and more intense.
So everyone had to move forward more carefully, always paying attention to their surroundings.
After walking like this for about an hour, Ling Hulone and his party had already hunted a dozen or so beasts, and that was the end of today, and the next step was to return to the city.
Just as everyone was returning to the city, they vaguely saw a spirit fox running on the snowfield.
"Spirit fox, this is a good thing! That thing's fur can be exchanged for a lot of things!" said a strong man in surprise, unconsciously revealing extremely greedy eyes.
Then everyone gathered around the spirit fox and tried to catch the spirit fox together. Some people have even begun to discuss the question of ownership after being arrested.
But is the spirit fox really so easy to catch? Although the spirit fox is not large, it is very flexible, and it has dodged the joint attacks of several people in a row. It even scratched the calf of a middle-aged man with its claws, and then quickly ran off into the distance.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, an arrow broke through the blizzard and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"I've shot it!" roared the leader of the hunting party.
"I'll catch him!" Ling Hu Xiao was a little interested at this time, so he offered to catch this spirit fox.
After that, Ling Hu Lin used his swordsmanship to chase after the spirit fox. At this time, although Linghu Lonely's swordsmanship is not very proficient, it is still possible to fly a little distance.
But after Ling Hu Lin chased along the blood trails along the way for a while, this spirit fox actually ran for a while and then stopped running away, but turned his head to look at Ling Hu Lone, as if begging Ling Hu Lone. What's even more surprising is that the body of this spirit fox is actually slowly getting bigger, and finally turning into a human form.
Isn't this what the woman who saved Ling Fox from the snowy field looks like?
The previous leader's arrows were nailed to the woman's calf, and wisps of blood flowed down from the ice-muscled calf.
Ling Hu Xiao rubbed his eyes to make sure he was mistaken, but it was true.
"It is rumored that the spirit fox can transform into a human after cultivating to a certain level, and there is also a powerful skill that can use his own life to extend the life of others!" Ling Hu Lin suddenly thought of a legend he heard when he was a child, and then thought about the ones he saw a few days ago, from the beast that looked like a pig, to the silk of all things, and then to this spirit fox turned into a human, "Is this really the case?"
"Don't hesitate, I'm her, I'm that Mu Zhi, now I don't want to hide anything, in fact, I'm a spirit fox turned into a ......" When Mu Zhi saw the young man in front of her, she was also stunned at the moment, and her lips opened slightly as if she wanted to say something, but after all, she couldn't say it, but let out a long sigh full of helplessness.
"Sister let's go......" Ling Hu Lin was about to leave after returning the dust to the sheath, "Sister is kind to me, and I can't do this kind of revenge." ”
As he spoke, Ling Hu was about to turn around and leave. At this time, Ling Fox Silence wanted to calm down and think about it.
"And what do you do?"
"You take care of yourself first!"
............
"What about the spirit fox?"
"The snow was too big, and I lost it. ”
"Damn, it's about to arrive, what a pity!"
"Let's go, let's go back to the city, it's not far from the city, and it's a quarter of an hour or so to walk. ”
"Well, let's go. ”
