Late at night, near dawn.

The northern foothills of the mountain range are pitch black and quiet. Occasionally, there were one or two nighthawk calls, which were heard far away in the mountains.

The four young warriors were tired from talking, and surrounded a bonfire at the mouth of the cliff, two of them snooze against their scabbards, and the other two kept vigil over the fire.

"Hurry up, there's movement!"

The two of them were startled when they heard the sound of the dead branches, and reminded the two of them who were sleeping soundly, and the four of them jumped up one after another, back to back, clenched their swords, and looked at the dark jungle around them in disbelief.

"What people!"

"Sneaky, get out of here!"

A young warrior shouted into the jungle with a loud voice.

In this clearing, there is only a crackling bonfire, which can illuminate a radius of dozens of zhang. A little farther away in the jungle, it was pitch black and it was impossible to see clearly.

In the dark jungle, a dark shadow slowly came out of the jungle, and it was a gray wolf almost the size of a calf with gray fur, and stood cold and arrogantly outside the bonfire, and glanced at the four young warriors with green eyes.

"It turned out to be a gray wolf, it scared me to death! The strength of an adult gray wolf is only the fifth layer of the refining stage, and I can clean it up alone!"

The young warrior looked up and laughed, relieved.

But the other three young warriors were so ugly that they couldn't laugh at all.

Click!

Immediately after, there was a faint sound of broken steps behind the gray wolf, and there were no small number of sounds.

One by one, adult wolves appeared around the campfire, and there were more than twenty of them, and a pair of green eyes flashed with a cruel cold light.

The largest gray wolf before was clearly the head wolf of the pack.

The young warrior's laughter finally became hoarse and turned into boundless fear.

The four young warriors gasped, their blades were almost unstable, and their hands and feet began to tremble.

"There are too many gray wolves to deal with! I can resist one or two at most, and the four of us can deal with at most eight, and any more will definitely die. ”

"Damn, there are wolves at this time!"

"Do you want to take refuge in the first line of cliffs?"

"Ye Chen wishes we died, if we go into the first-line cliff, he and the wolves will attack inside and outside, and we will die faster by the enemy in the abdomen!"

"Let's go, get out of here!"

They looked panicked, turned and fled.

Seven or eight gray wolves immediately exerted their strength and chased after them.

The remaining dozen or so gray wolves remained unmoved, staying where they were.

The head wolf sniffed the cliff, and the fresh smell of blood wafted from it, and he couldn't help but hiss in a low voice. The smell of blood made it very excited. There are wounded prey in this line of cliffs!

Ye Chen was sleeping lightly with a knife in the first-line cliff, and when he heard the exclamations of several young martial artists outside, he suddenly woke up and opened his eyes, "What's going on outside?" He jumped up and rushed outside.

As soon as he reached the exit, Ye Chen was suddenly startled and stopped.

I saw that outside the first-line cliff, more than a dozen gray wolves with green light eyes were surrounding the first-line cliff, and when they saw Ye Chen appear, their eyes immediately showed a fierce color.

"Gray wolf pack!"

Ye Chen's pupils shrank sharply.

He had been waiting for the four young warriors to leave before he could leave this place. In his estimation, it will be two or three days at most.

But now the situation has changed abruptly, and there is actually a gray wolf pack.

Deep in the mountains of the northern foothills, gray wolves roam around, and no one knows where the wolves will appear.

Ye Chen's previous calculations were all used to deal with Ma Ruyuan. No matter how much he calculated, it was impossible for him to predict when the gray wolf would appear.

"Whew!"

The gray-headed wolf's cold green eyes glanced at Ye Chen, and immediately screamed, ordering the wolves to launch an offensive.

Immediately, there were three gray wolves, with a crazy look in their eyes, and they suddenly jumped up with their strength and rushed towards the first line of cliffs.

"Damn, there are so many gray blue wolves, how can you kill them?!"

Ye Chen retreated sharply and ran towards the depths of the first-line cliff, only inside, it was easy for him to use the terrain to launch a counterattack.

The three gray wolves immediately chased after them.

Ye Chen fled back to the depths of the first-line cliff.

Ma Ruyuan had bled for most of the night and was dying, but he was surprisingly tenacious and still holding on to his death.

"I don't want to die, I want to return to the Ma family alive, and there is a great future and wealth waiting for me. When I return to the family, I will gather my troops and horses, and come back to destroy you. Ma Ruyuan was in a trance, muttering something in his mouth, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Ye Chen retreating from outside in a panic.

"Haha, Ye Chen, my rescuers are here, you are dead!"

Ma Ruyuan gasped and laughed, thinking that the rescuers had finally come.

But as soon as he saw the several gray wolves chasing after Ye Chen, he was stunned and frightened.

"No!"

Ma Ruyuan howled in horror, even if Ye Chen stabbed him before, he was not so frightened now. When encountering the gray wolf, the bones are gone.

"I am the son of the general who protects the country, how can I, Ma Ruyuan, die here!! save me quickly! Senior Brother Ye Chen, Senior Brother Ye Chen, Grandpa Ye, I am wrong! I have a piece of precious jade here, an ancestral treasure, worth three hundred taels of gold, which is very good for cultivation! I will give it to you, save my life!"

Ma Ruyuan didn't know where the strength came from, and frantically pulled out a piece of cyan glossy jade pendant tied with a delicate green rope from his neck.

Ye Chen ignored him at all and continued to flee deep inside.

The three gray wolves behind him chased him very closely.

Ye Chen fled again, retreated to a narrow place where only one person could pass, suddenly stopped and turned around, and swung his knife to slash out "Tiger Leap Two Consecutive Slashes!".

The Tiger Leap slashed twice in a row, which was already a nine-ten-ten-sure move for him.

Poof!

With a force of 1,200 catties, a gray wolf who rushed to the front couldn't dodge, and from the head to the abdomen, the whole thing was split by the blade, fell out, and died after a few convulsions on the ground.

A gray wolf in the back stretched out its claws almost at the same time and pounced.

Ye Chen had no time to retract his sword momentum.

"I don't just know how to slash!"

He let out a loud cry and flew up with a leg as fast as lightning.

With a force of six hundred catties, he kicked the most vulnerable abdomen of the gray wolf.

Bang!

Hearing only a muffled sound, the gray wolf flew out seven or eight feet away and fell on the cliff, fell to the ground, and stood up with a slight limp.

Ye Chen's leg caused it to suffer no light or serious injuries.

Ye Chen withdrew the knife, held the knife in both hands, and stubbornly guarded this narrow place where only one person could pass.

The last gray wolf left, finally showed a wincing look, did not pounce, yelled at Ye Chen, slowly retreated, and then left with the slightly injured gray wolf. One dead and one injured, this price has already made the two gray wolves know that Ye Chen is not easy to provoke, and they have the idea of retreating.

"It seems that the strength of a single adult gray blue wolf is indeed not high, in the fourth or fifth layer of the refining period, the speed is slightly faster, and the strength is relatively low! As long as you are not besieged by more than two gray blue wolves, you can ensure your own safety. ”

Ye Chen gasped, suppressed the violent heartbeat, and calmed down from the panic.

He glanced at the gray wolf that was already dead, and then walked carefully towards the outside of the first-line cliff to see if the gray wolf outside had left.

Ye Chen came to the place where he had rested before. Ma Ruyuan was gone, leaving traces of blood droplets and claws on the ground, extending beyond the cliff. It seems that when the two gray wolves went out, they also took their prey out by the way.

Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he saw that there was an extra cyan jade pendant on the ground.

"Jade Pendant!"

Ye Chen thought about it for a while, and when he fled back, he seemed to vaguely hear Ma Ruyuan shouting something like 'help, jade pendant'. He was in a hurry to avoid the gray wolf, and he didn't hear clearly. And he didn't have the habit of searching his body, and he didn't know if Ma Ruyuan had anything on him before.

"The jade pendant that Ma Ruyuan is hiding close to his body can't be a treasure, right?!"

Ye Chen's heart moved slightly, and he reached out a little nervously and picked up the jade pendant.

"Sure enough, it's a treasure! In the past three months, my ancient painting scroll has not been replenished by 'Tian Li' for a while. My cultivation has also stagnated at the sixth level of the body refining stage, and I lack higher-grade herbs, making it difficult to quench my body and cultivate. ”

As soon as Ye Chen put the jade pendant in his hand, he felt a hot heat coming from the ancient painting close to his body, which was very intense, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
