Chapter 7: The Journey

Pack up your belongings, stand outside the gate, and lock the gate.

Looking at the home that seems deserted now, Li Ku doesn't know when he will be able to come back, and then this place where he grew up may become dilapidated, and may be occupied by the people in the village, but he feels that since he has decided, he should not hesitate, think about it, analyze the pros and cons, maybe then there will be countless reasons to stop himself, and then lament and regret for the rest of his life, but repeat the same thing year after year.

Tie the iron sword to his back with strips of cloth, Li Ku quietly left the village, dodging everyone on the road, Li Ku embarked on a road that should be too far away for him at this time to see no end in sight.

As an unqualified hunter, Li Ku probably has a clear direction, and according to what Shen Mo said, all the way to the north, he will eventually reach his destination one day.

......

At night, the branches of the dense trees crossed overhead, and although it was the end of autumn, the leaves that had not yet fallen were piled up above Li Ku to form a barrier, and only the faint moonlight flowed along the gaps in between, scattering rays of light.

On the first day of departure, reality gave the sixteen-year-old boy an unforgettable lesson.

About ten miles out of the village, for the villagers in this small mountain village, many people will probably have a black eye, this is a place they rarely set foot in, the same is true of Li Ku, even after the death of his father, Li Ku began to carry everything in the family, but he did not leave the village so far, usually the hill where he chops firewood, has already walked through at dusk.

Walking in the mountains and forests where fallen leaves are piled up, Li Ku's eyes are full of vigilance and a faint sense of loss, at this time Li Ku is a little embarrassed to find that he seems to be taking it for granted, the hunger in his stomach and the throat that is about to smoke laugh at him all the time.

"I should have prepared some dry food and water, and the food stored at home will probably be bad when I come back. ”

Thinking of the food he left at home, Li Ku thought with some sadness.

"Whew......"

There was a wolf howl in the surrounding woods, but Li Ku was already a little surprised, after dark, Li Ku had already heard not a sound or two, the distance was getting closer and closer, but there was no action, so at this time Li Ku did not have any excessive reaction, but became more vigilant and careful.

This should be just a lone wolf, Li Ku once heard his father say that only a lone wolf will be like this, when he finds the prey, he is not in a hurry to kill it immediately, but will fall around the prey, causing the prey to panic with a howl, consuming the physical strength of the prey, and finally waiting for the prey to be exhausted before preparing to start culling, and if he encounters a wolf pack, at this time Li Ku is alone, the wolves have already eaten at this time.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, this is just a lone wolf, and it should still be an old lone wolf, Li Ku, don't be afraid, you are already a sword cultivator. ”

Fingers tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, walking Li Ku while cheering himself up, while carefully alerting the surrounding environment, the trees here are too dense, Li Ku wants to find a more open place, so that the field of vision is wide, and he can see more.

Li Ku is now a monk, although after becoming a monk, his body is a little less than before, but his five senses have become more acute, at this time, with the moonlight passing through the gaps in the branches, Li Ku can barely see the surrounding environment clearly, but unfortunately, his eyes are full of towering trees with the thickness of a person's hug, and Li Ku did not find an empty place.

After walking cautiously for a long time, Li Ku suddenly found that the trees in front of him began to become sparse, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart and quickened his pace.

But at this moment, a chill suddenly emerged from his heart, and a body with crushed leaves suddenly came from behind him.

Without thinking much about it, Li Ku threw himself to the left, a gust of fishy wind drifted by, and when Li Ku squatted up and turned his head, a pair of green eyes appeared in front of Li Ku's eyes.

In the dim light, Li Ku's heart was beating rapidly at this time, and there was still the fear of the rest of his life in his mind, if he had to slow down, I am afraid that he would have died under the wolf's mouth at this time, and in danger, the sword yuan in his body, which was as slow as an old ox pulling a cart, suddenly accelerated his speed.

This is an old wolf in his old age, with a thin body that can see traces of bones under the gray and white fur.

The corners of his mouth were drooling, and the old wolf who missed the blow seemed to have lost patience at this time, and instead of hiding, he was looking for the opportunity again, but began to approach Li Ku step by step, and there was a threatening roar in his throat.

This is the first time Li Ku has seen a wolf, he had only imagined this creature in other people's words before, but looking at the ferocious creature in front of him, Li Ku's heart did not have the unknown fear just now, but still had the mind to think, "Good guy, it looks about the same size as Xiao Huang of Aunt Zhao's family at the entrance of the village." ”

Approaching a certain distance, the old wolf suddenly pounced on Li Ku, his claws mercilessly pointed at Li Ku's shoulder, looking at the sharp claws that flashed with cold light, Li Ku had no doubt that once he was pounced, he would definitely leave a deep wound on his shoulder.

At the moment of crisis, Li Ku crossed the sword in front of him, blocking the claws of the old wolf, and at the same time, while the wolf's mouth had not been bitten off, he kicked the old wolf in the stomach, and the old wolf was kicked out by Li Ku.

Li Ku's kick is definitely not light, after he cultivates Jian Yuan, he can hold more than ten catties of iron sword to practice swordsmanship for an hour, you can imagine how much his strength and endurance have improved under the blessing of Jian Yuan.

Copper-headed and iron-tailed tofu waist, for the wolf, the waist is definitely one of its key points, Li Ku's kick, with the participation of Jian Yuan, can almost directly kick off a small tree with the thickness of the mouth of the bowl, not to mention this old wolf who is old and decrepit and driven out by the wolves.

After kicking out, Li Ku gasped violently, and then stood up, this step down, the originally fast sword yuan seemed to have fallen into the swamp, and in Li Ku's perception, the size of the sword yuan shrank by half.

"Damn, I ate bacon and ten bowls of noodles for nothing,"

After the danger was lifted, Li Ku thought a little depressed, at this time, he was kicked by Li Ku, the old wolf didn't get up after pulling on the ground for a long time, and blood began to flow from his mouth, Li Ku kicked it in the waist, directly kicking its fragile internal organs to rupture.

Li Ku didn't hear the people in the village say how cunning the wolf was, at this time he held the sword and slowly walked towards the old wolf, without relaxing his vigilance, as the old wolf gradually lost his breath, Li Ku's heart was put back in his stomach.

Pulling the wolf corpse that fell to the ground with an iron sword, Li Ku's eyes gradually lit up with a bright light......
