Chapter 14: Temptation

"Whewโ€”โ€”!"

"Whoa, whoaโ€”โ€”!"

There was a wilderness around the hunting village, and suddenly a pack of wolves howled, shaking the night sky, which made people tremble.

Immediately afterwards, there was a rustling sound, the sound of wild beasts stepping on the snow, and the sound was particularly harsh in such a silent winter night.

A cry came from far and near, and a burst of gasps was clear in the ears, and the hunters carried bows and arrows, and picked up their spears, one by one, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Liu Yanchang asked Cui Wan'er and Kou Sanniang to return to Yuzhong, and he rushed to the entrance of the village with the Meteorite Sword, although it was only a meal, he couldn't help but repay it.

"Boy, what are you doing here? Go back to your room, don't mess with us!" An old hunter was stretching his bow and arrows, and when he saw Liu Yanchang coming, he immediately looked unkind and said with a little hostility.

A group of half-grown boys were also heavily armed, and they stood by the fence, and it was evident that they were all skilled in bowing and horses, and that they were defending the mountain demons and protecting the village every day. With the dazzling firelight, the eyes that looked at Liu Yanchang were a little guarded and unkind.

As the children of the Orion family, they naturally advocate force, and seeing that Liu Yanchang's dress is just a scholar who is not good-looking, they invisibly despise it a little.

Liu Yanchang bowed slightly, didn't explain much, and said directly: "Since I stay here, I naturally have to contribute!"

"Help, I think you're making trouble! Do you know how to shoot arrows with a bow?" The old hunter stretched out his bow and arrows, and instantly bent the hardwood bow like a full moon, only to hear the sound of a bowstring clanging, and a wild beast screamed in the distance.

The boys immediately stopped talking, drew their hunting bows, and aimed at the mountain demon in the darkness. Their movements were not as standard as the old hunters, but they all seemed to be full of strength and wanted to show their hands in front of Liu Yanchang.

Although he was thrown aside, Liu Yanchang didn't care, if people like this kind of village hunting want to live, they must hug each other tightly. The relationship between them is far closer and more harmonious than that of the villagers outside, but at the same time, they are naturally distant and hostile to outsiders.

Liu Yanchang listened to the old hunter explain the essentials of archery, while observing the movements of the dark mountain demon, although his eyesight was not enough to see at night, but it was still farther and clearer than ordinary people.

Looking at it, as Bai Biao's wife said, it is really a group of vicious wolves with tails. These are not far from the entrance of the village, besieged but not attacked, and disciplined are strict, as if someone is secretly commanding.

There are very few people who can listen to the sound and defend like the old hunter, and after a round of arrows, the sound of the wolf's howl not only does not disappear, but becomes closer and more ferocious.

Liu Yanchang said: "Shoot the man first and shoot the horse, and capture the thief and capture the king first." Even if you can keep the wolves out, it won't be a problem in the long run!"

The old hunter showed a slightly surprised look, he didn't like Liu Yanchang, but the two sentences "shoot people and horses first, and capture thieves and kings first" won his heart. I couldn't help but think to myself: "This scholar is not useless, at least he is much better at seeing problems than these children in the village!"

"Boy, where did you come from? You just stand and talk without backache, do you know where the wolf king is hiding?" The group of boys couldn't help but come forward, their faces full of provocation.

"Of course I do. Liu Yanchang said lightly.

"Hmph, the reader will talk about it, but you can tell me how to kill the wolf king?"

"Not to mention killing the wolf king, even killing a little wolf is his ability!"

Liu Yanchang couldn't be as knowledgeable as them, shouting and shouting to kill, but he would not let them insult at will, and snatched the spear from the hand of the young man next to him.

The young man exclaimed, "What do you want to do?" but he was secretly surprised in his heart, this guy had a lot of strength.

Liu Yanchang didn't say much, one arm suddenly exerted force, and a spear more than one person high was used as a javelin by him, and it was thrown far away with a "whoosh". The speed is not far from the arrows that shoot out.

"Whew!" came a terrible roar in the darkness, and everyone could see dimly by the reflection of the snow, and the spear passed right through the chest of a vicious wolf, and then the wolf's corpse fell into the snow.

"Mom, it's a master!" the boys were stunned, and made a sound of swallowing and foaming, and threw their spears farther than bows and arrows.

Liu Yanchang didn't care about them, he just smiled and said, "The mountain demon you are most afraid of is on the opposite hillside!"

The old hunter was finally shocked: "Young man, you don't really want to fight that mountain demon single-handedly, right? Although that beast is also a wolf, he is old and has become a climate, and his wisdom is no less than that of ordinary people." Even if we old hunters can't do anything about it, the young hero had better be cautious and not act recklessly!"

"What's going on?" Bai Biao arranged various sentry posts along the fence, returned here again, listened to the conversation between the two, and said suspiciously.

The old hunter replied, "He wants to go out to fight the mountain demon, this is not a joke, I want to persuade him not to risk his life." โ€

Bai Biao's face tightened when he heard this, and he suddenly made a move, and Liu Yanchang suddenly felt a strong wind behind him, as if a fierce tiger was rushing towards him.

"What do you mean?" Liu Yanchang was furious, turned around and punched, fists and claws struck each other, and took three steps back in a row, finally letting Bai Biao's attack fail.

Bai Biao suddenly changed his moves, turned his claws into palms, and unloaded Liu Yanchang's fist power. In that matter of inches, he stepped forward again, stretched out three fingers and locked Liu Yanchang's vein door.

Liu Yanchang said straightly, "It's not good", although it was only a short fight, he knew that this Bai Biao was definitely a master of melee combat. In particular, his hands are very flexible and have an extremely accurate grasp of the acupuncture points of the joints.

In the face of the delicate transformation between fists and claws, Liu Yanchang knew that his greatest strength was strength. If he wants to win, he wants to use his strength to break the trick.

In the face of the sharp claws, he did not retreat, although his wrist was controlled by others, he took advantage of the situation to use his shoulder as a weapon and smashed it into Bai Wei's heart. Bai Biao couldn't take it hard, so he could only retreat, which could be regarded as encircling Wei to save Zhao and resolve his previous move.

"Good skills, no wonder you dare to say such big things!" Bai Biao said with a smile, he is a pragmatic person, and he always has to give it a try when he listens to Liu Yanchang's proposal.

However, the fight between Fang Cun just now has given him a lot of understanding of Liu Yanchang. In addition to his courage and strain, Liu Yanchang's martial arts are also very unusual, in addition to his quick reaction and great strength, his skin and flesh seem to be extremely tough. Just now, his five fingers were clasped on Liu Yanchang's wrist, if the joints of ordinary people were pinched by him, he would have been unable to move, but Liu Yanchang didn't realize it, and he could still take action against him.

"Listening to your tone, it seems to be testing me?" Liu Yanchang asked rhetorically.

Bai Biao arched his hand and said: "I'm sorry, little brother! I have thought about your proposal for a long time, but the danger is too great, and I can't gamble with the lives of the whole village." Now that I've tried your skills, I think with the strength of you and me, it should be easy to deal with that evil beast! Now I, on behalf of the whole village, ask the little brother to help us out!"
