Chapter 12: The wolves test their courage

The old man was angry and scolded Ye Chen mercilessly, not at all as kind as before.

After angrily criticizing Ye Chen, Ye Chen pulled his head and was silent for a long time. The old man was also a smart man, and when he saw Ye Chen like this, he stopped his mouth and left with a light sigh.

Ye Chen glanced at the old man with his spare eyes, and followed with a dark face, he knew that the old man was for his good, so even if he was unhappy, he didn't dare to say much.

Jiang Yingyue saw that Twenty had come back from the entrance of the village, and hurriedly went to greet her. The old man had never eaten a meal at her house on weekdays, but now that Ye Chen was following him to practice martial arts, she naturally wanted to invite him to her home for a good meal.

At first, the old man shirked in every possible way, but he couldn't resist Jiang Yingyue's kind invitation, so he had to follow her into her house.

Jiang Yingyue had already prepared a table full of wine and food, and was waiting for them to sit down.

As soon as Ye Chen entered the door, he sat on the bench with his ass in his ass, his eyes were blank, and he had not yet come out of the fear of killing people just now.

After the old man sat down, Jiang Yingyue enthusiastically poured a glass of wine for him, and after being polite, he smiled and took the wine glass and drank it all.

Jiang Yingyue was holding a family routine with him, and at the same time thanked him for taking care of Ye Chen during this time.

After a few glasses of wine, the old man covered his glass and never let her pour wine again. Seeing this, Jiang Yingyue glanced at Ye Chen on the side, and wanted to signal him to respect the old man's wine.

But no matter how she signaled to Ye Chen, Ye Chen was unmoved. Where was his dumbfounded pestle, not eating or drinking, and was looking out the window in a daze.

Seeing that Ye Chen was a little abnormal, Jiang Yingyue didn't speak again, so she had to keep putting vegetables into the old man's bowl. As Ye Chen's mother, she naturally knows Ye Chen's temperament. Now that the old man is here, she can't speak, so she has to wait for the old man to leave for a while before asking Ye Chen.

As an old man, Ye Chen was so stupid, he naturally knew that Jiang Yingyue had something to ask him. And he also felt that there was no need to hide it from Jiang Yingyue, and after drinking a few glasses, he left Ye Chen's house on the grounds that he was too strong to drink.

As soon as the old man left, Jiang Yingyue asked Ye Chen with a straight face, but no matter how she asked Ye Chen, she was unmoved, and she didn't want to say a word.

In the end, she played a trick and cried that Ye Chen had grown up and was disobedient. Only then did Ye Chen come to her to comfort her, and slowly tell her what happened today.

After confessing to Jiang Yingyue, her reaction was beyond Ye Chen's expectations. I saw that she was unusually calm, and she didn't care much about Ye Chen's first killing, but just persuaded him to experience more in the future like an old man.

Seeing that his mother was so calm, Ye Chen couldn't say anything, and returned to his room with a sword with a broken face.

The next day, Ye Chen didn't get up at noon, Jiang Yingyue knew that he hadn't recovered yet, and she didn't call him.

In fact, Ye Chen didn't sleep all night, he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, as soon as he closed his eyes, the distorted faces of those people before death would appear in his mind, so he tossed until dawn and barely fell asleep.

In the evening, Ye Chen got up, and the old man waited for him in the grove on time every day. Although he didn't go today, he still felt like going to see it.

When he arrived at the grove, the old man slowly fell from a tree in front of him, and Ye Chen was stunned. I didn't expect the old man to be so trustworthy, and he didn't even leave when he didn't see him.

Ye Chen slowly walked towards the old man, ready for him to taunt himself. But the old man just glanced at him lightly, and did not mean to blame at all. This made Ye Chen a little embarrassed.

"That...... Didn't sleep well yesterday, so ...... So I'm a little late today......" Ye Chen said to the old man with a smile.

The old man sighed lightly when he heard this, looked at him and said, "I understand, it is inevitable that you will not be able to get over it when you first start learning martial arts, and you need time to convince yourself." ”

"But now that time is pressing, I have to catch the ducks on the shelves. Lin Zhentian will come at any time, we won't practice during the day, and from tonight, start to practice your courage and perception in case they attack at night. Now that you have plenty of time, you can go back and tell your mother, and come back here to me when the sun goes down. ”

The old man flashed and left, Ye Chen stayed where he was for a while, and then turned around and left.

When he got home, Ye Chen told Jiang Yingyue about practicing at night, and Jiang Yingyue nodded and agreed without thinking about it. She also knew that the old man did this to practice Ye Chen's courage, in case Ye Chen was weak and didn't dare to kill when the Shura Hall attacked in a big way.

After the sun set, Ye Chen came to the grove again, but found that there was no trace of the old man. He leaned against a tree and waited.

It was getting late, the woods were getting darker, and from time to time there were a few barks of dogs in the village, and some nocturnal insects began to chirp.

The more Ye Chen waited, the more impetuous his heart became, he couldn't see his five fingers around him, and occasionally he could hear the sound of some small animals foraging, which made him very uneasy.

Since he was a child, he had never stayed outside the village so late, because he was afraid of some wild beasts and poisonous snakes, Ye Chen was close to the big tree and did not dare to move.

I don't know how long it took, Ye Chen looked up and saw the stars in the sky through the dense leaves.

He wanted to go back, but he was afraid that he would accidentally step on a poisonous snake in the dark light, so he dispelled this idea again.

As the sound of insects around him became louder and louder, Ye Chen simply climbed the tree he was leaning on because he was afraid, and found a branch fork that was enough to support his weight and sat on it.

In this way, Ye Chen fell asleep on the tree in a daze.

In the middle of the night, Ye Chen was awakened by a commotion under the tree, and he looked down, but only saw pitch black, and there was no shadow.

After a while, when the moonlight shone through the leaves, Ye Chen saw a pair of glowing eyes searching around under the tree.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen's heart was cold, he knew what he had encountered. He clung to the trunk of the tree, not daring to move, for fear of startling the wolves under the tree with the slightest noise.

Just as Ye Chen was secretly praying that the wolves were leaving, a sound suddenly sounded in the distance in the dark night. A branch struck from a distance, piercing a wolf at once, and piercing the big tree where Ye Chen was at once.

The huge impact force shook Ye Chen under the tree and landed in the middle of the wolves.

The sudden noise startled the wolves, and the rest of the wolves ran away. Ye Chen didn't dare to move after he got up, he wasn't sure where the wolf was, for fear that he would accidentally recruit the wolves again.

It was not long before the wolves that had scattered around began to howl, and after a wolf howl, all the wolves that had dispersed also howled.

The wolf that had been pierced just now was not dead, and after hearing the wolf's howl, it also howled, and kept howling, as if it was transmitting something.

Hearing the injured wolf beside him barking non-stop, Ye Chen was afraid that it would attract wolves again, so he groped and slowly approached it.

After determining its position, Ye Chen raised his sword and stabbed, and it wailed in pain and then did not make a sound again.

After eliminating this wolf, Ye Chen didn't stay where he was, he knew that the wolves would not leave any members behind and would definitely come back, and he didn't know where to go now. So I fumbled my way up a tree.

As soon as he climbed the tree, he heard voices approaching him. The departing wolves returned, and after finding the dead wolf, the wolves wailed one by one, and the sound was particularly terrifying.

Ye Chen quietly waited for the wolves to leave, but the wolves didn't look like they wanted to leave, they were running around, as if they were looking for something.

In the end, the wolves locked onto the tree where Ye Chen was, apparently discovering him. They kept howling at Ye Chen, lying on the trunk of the tree and trying to jump up and bite Ye Chen, but because Ye Chen's position was high enough, they couldn't reach Ye Chen no matter how much they jumped.

After jumping under the tree for a while, the wolves seemed to have found that they couldn't reach Ye Chen, so they squatted down around the tree.

Ye Chen's heart kept pounding on the tree, he knew what it would mean if it fell, even if the hand holding the tree trunk was worn out, he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

There was a rooster crowing in the village, and Ye Chen was secretly glad that he knew that it was about to dawn.

After the rooster crowed, the wolves also stirred, as if they knew that it was almost dawn.

Led by one wolf, the rest of the wolves began to bite the trunk of the tree like crazy, and after a while, Ye Chen felt that the tree began to shake.

At this moment, another branch flew in the distance, but this time the branch was not directed at the wolf, but at the big tree where Ye Chen was.

After a crisp sound, the big tree broke off in response, and Ye Chen also fell.

When the wolves saw the tree falling, they pounced on Ye Chen like crazy, Ye Chen didn't care about the direction after he got up, and left the place with a jump, making the wolves pounce in the air.

He has also achieved a little success now, and it is naturally not a problem to jump four or five feet away. He kept running. After jumping a few times, he hit his head on the trunk of a tree.

When the wolves chasing after him saw him fall to the ground, they immediately surrounded him and blocked his back road.

In the night, the wolves occupy an absolute advantage, and this Ye Chen also knows it, so he keeps running away.

Ye Chen couldn't see the wolves clearly at all, so he had to determine their approximate location with a pair of glowing eyes. The wolves are different, they were born to hunt at night, and Ye Chen's every move at this moment can't escape their eyes.
