Chapter 59: Wolves, Cutting Hair

In May, the weather is getting hotter, and it is the afternoon when the sun hanging high in the sky releases infinite light and heat, and there is not a single cloud in the sky. Under the scorching sun for a long time, the weeds are overgrown, and the temperature seems to be a little higher in a barren field. The wilderness seemed to have been untouched for a long time, with only a path almost buried in weeds winding out of it. At this moment, a figure in the distance braved the scorching sun in the sky, walking briskly from this deserted path that had not been set foot on for a long time.

Mo Chen stopped after walking a long way, and looked forward with his hands to block the dazzling sunlight in the sky. The figure of the hill at the end of the line of sight seemed to be getting bigger, which meant that he was constantly getting closer to it. So Mo Chen put down his hand, tightened the burden on his back and the long sword on his back, and continued to move forward.

At this time, it has been three days since Mo Chen left the quiet small county town under Wudang Mountain. When he just came down the mountain, Mo Chen only felt at a loss in his heart, although he came out to travel this time in order to find the emotion in his heart in order to step into the darkness, but Mo Chen didn't know what to do. After leaving Shiyan County, I could only find a random direction and walk for a day, and then spend the night in a remote village. That night, Mo Chen couldn't sleep over and over, and he kept thinking about how to find the touch. After thinking about it, Mo Chen Jue decided to go back to his hometown where he lived when he was a child, and see if he could find any traces of emotion from the place where he lived when he was a child.

Mo Chen remembers that he lives in Tai'an Mansion in Shandong Province, and he is in Hubei Province at this time, and it will undoubtedly take a long time to travel from Hubei to Shandong through Anhui Province or Henan Province. However, Mo Chen's trip was originally for travel, no matter where he went, he didn't care about the specific route, so the next day Mo Chen asked for the general direction and set off. So far, Mo Chen only knows that the direction is not wrong, but the specific location of Mo Chen is not clear.

Walking along the deserted path, until the sun was about to set, Mo Chen walked in front of the low mountain that he had seen in the morning, and profoundly explained what it means to run a dead horse in Wangshan.

At this time, seeing that the neighborhood was deserted, he could only spend the night in the mountains tonight, so Mo Chen took advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, found a place on dry ground at the foot of the mountain and built a fire, took out the dry food prepared in the baggage, and roasted it hot and ate it with a fire. Not long after Mo Chen finished eating the dry food, it was already completely dark, Mo Chen sat quietly in front of the fire for a while, added some firewood to the fire, and then lay down next to him and fell asleep.

In the middle of the moon, under the illumination of the moonlight, it can be seen that the originally vigorous burning fire in the open space where Mo Chen was lying has only a pile of embers and a few dim red lights left, and Mo Chen, who is lying on the ground, is sleeping at the moment. At this moment, a pair of eyes reflecting green light in the dim moonlight suddenly lit up around the clearing, and with the appearance of the first pair of eyes, the green eyes slowly became more and more, and after a while, the clearing was already encircled.

At this time, if you look carefully at those eyes in the dim moonlight, you will find the owner of the eyes around the clearing: wild wolves with teeth bared, these wild wolves quietly surrounded the clearing, staring at Mo Chen, who was sleeping in the middle of the clearing, and obviously had chosen Mo Chen as the prey today.

Although some of the wolves in this group had already watched Mo Chen open his mouth wide, and the long saliva in his mouth kept dripping to the ground, they were still motionless and waited quietly, showing the good discipline of the wolves. After a while, a wild wolf, which was clearly larger than the other wolves, and was clearly a wolf, rushed over. The head wolf came behind the wolves with a few guard wolves, and then gave the order with a low roar, and then all the wild wolves that surrounded the clearing made a move, and they let out a low roar, and their limbs flew alternately towards the prey in the middle.

The speed at which the wolves pounced on their prey was so fast that the short distance between them and Mo Chen quickly shortened in the blink of an eye, and they were about to disappear. At this time, at the front of the wolf pack, the fastest wolves had already jumped up, their sharp claws stretched out from the meat pad, and their wide and curved mouths showed sharp teeth and pounced towards Mo Chen on the ground.

Seeing that he was about to die tragically under the wolf's kiss, Mo Chen's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, and he pulled out the long sword he held in his hand at some point, and then a dazzling sword light lit up and circled around Mo Chen's body.

"Snort" The inner circle was closest to Mo Chen, and the few wolves who had already raised their bodies to show their posture and pounced on them suddenly flew up their entire heads from their necks, and the heavy corpses fell straight to the ground, and then the flying heads also fell and rolled around on the ground a few times before stopping.

After Mo Chen took out his sword, he slapped the ground with one hand, and the whole person stood up straight from the ground, and then stepped on the ground with both feet, and rushed towards the head wolf at a fast speed, as if he had already locked the position of the head wolf. On the way forward, Mo Chen waved the long sword in his hand, bringing out one shining sword light after another, leaving behind wolf corpses in one place, and the wolves along the way could hardly hinder Mo Chen's time for a second.

Mo Chen's series of actions were completed in one go, as if he had been prepared, and it was not until he was approached by Mo Chen that the Wolf King reacted. Of course, Mo Chen had already prepared, in fact, Mo Chen knew it when only one wolf appeared at the earliest, with Mo Chen's martial arts at this time, he could find it when someone in a group of people looked at him with malicious eyes, not to mention that this fierce beast looked at himself naked with the eyes of its prey. It's just that the wolf was far away, and he just looked at Mo Chen for a while and left. Mo Chen thought it strange at first, but after a while, as the wolves gathered more and more, Mo Chen understood that the first wolf was just a scout among the wolves, and when he found the prey, he went to find the large army.

Mo Chen, who knew that the situation was not good, took the sword placed beside him in his hand early, and pricked up his ears to listen to the movements around him. Mo Chen knew that the wolves in the wild were generally led by a wolf, and they were surrounded by wolves, and only by quickly killing the wolf leader and leaving the wolves leaderless was the easiest solution. Therefore, Mo Chen waited until all of them rushed towards him, and when the strength around the head wolf was weak, so that as long as he quickly broke through the obstacles on a road, he could face the head wolf. Sure enough, Mo Chen shot with all his strength this time, and he was caught off guard by killing the first wolf at once.

Seeing Mo Chen, who had already rushed to his side, the fierce wolf king roared and pounced towards Mo Chen from different directions with several guard wolves around him. Looking at the fierce pounces in front of him, a few wolves that were obviously stronger and more fierce than ordinary wild wolves, Mo Chen did not hesitate at all, stepped forward, the long sword shook left and right, and the two guard wolves on the left and right sides were pierced in one go, and then took advantage of the situation to stab the left eye of the wolf king who pounced in the middle, and the long sword was directly poured into the head wolf's brain. Then with a flick of his wrist, he pulled out the long sword that pierced into the skull of the head wolf, lowered his upper body to avoid the pounce of the last two guard wolves, turned over and swept with a sword, cutting off the back of the necks of the two guard wolves who were still pounced forward, and when they landed, the two guard wolves had become two wolf corpses.

At this time, the group of wolves behind him who were about to pounce from other directions saw that the first wolf had been killed by Mo Chen, and immediately stopped their movements one by one.

"Whew~"

"Whew~"

"Whew~~"

The wolves let out a long and mournful howl one after another, and then quickly turned their heads and scattered. Mo Chen stood still and watched, and only returned to the clearing after the wolves had completely dispersed, and lit the fire that had been extinguished again.

After this incident, Mo Chen no longer felt a little sleepy, and he didn't dare to sleep anymore, so he directly guarded the fire until dawn.

After dawn, Mo Chen used the fire to roast a few pieces of wolf meat on the spot for breakfast, and after hurriedly eating, he packed up his things and climbed up the mountain.

Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the environment in all directions. Mo Chen saw the wilderness he walked on when he came, and at this time he was quietly crawling to the west of the hill below him, a large area of deep forest in the north and south extended far away, and the end of the deep forest was also connected by undulating mountains, and there was no human connection. Fortunately, the outline of a city could be seen not far east of the mountain, so Mo Chen slowly walked down from the top of the mountain and walked towards the east.

When he was halfway up the mountain, Mo Chen found a waterhole. The upper reaches of this pool is a small stream that flows slowly down the mountain, and the water of the stream gathers in a flat position halfway up the mountain to form a small pool, and then flows down the mountain over the pool.

Mo Chen unknowingly splashed some wolf blood on his body during the fierce fight with the wolves last night, and he was feeling uncomfortable at this time, and he was also happy to see this shallow pool, so he hurried to the pool to clean his body.

Squatting on the edge of the pool and putting away the burden on his body, Mo Chen first took a handful of cool pool water with his hand and slapped it on his face a few times. After this handful of water was sprinkled, when he was about to fetch water again, Mo Chen saw his reflection in the pool water.

Seeing the delicate and handsome face reflected in the water, and the long braid dragged behind his half-bald yin and yang head in front, Mo Chen frowned unconsciously, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart. Although men in this era have such hairstyles, Mo Chen usually doesn't feel different when he looks at others, but at this time, seeing that he has this hairstyle, Mo Chen unconsciously felt a huge sense of disgust in his heart.

Quietly looking at his reflection like this, Mo Chen half-squatted at the water's edge motionless. Suddenly, Mo Chen took out the long sword next to him and slashed it towards his head. With a flash of sword light, the long braid on his head had already fallen to the edge of the pool, and in the blink of an eye, Mo Chen had turned into a bald head.

"Poof. Mo Chen, who had cut off his ugly braids, unconsciously felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, threw the long sword to the edge of the pool in a good mood, and the whole person jumped forward, bringing a huge splash and pounced into the shallow pool in front of him. After frolicking in the pool for a while, Mo Chen began to scrub the blood stains on his body in the water, and when the clothes on his body no longer had any unusual color, Mo Chen went ashore. After packing up his things, he took out a long towel from his backpack and put it on his bald head, and Mo Chen walked down the mountain again.

At this time, the temperature in the air was not low, and by the time Mo Chen walked to the foot of the mountain, the wet clothes on his body had completely dried.
