Chapter 9: The Wizard of the Wilderness

Li Zhe said goodbye to Liu Ruyan, and his mood fell into extreme depression, and it took six or seven days for Li Zhe to come out of this decadent mood. At this time, Li Zhe had nothing else to think about, but just hurried towards Yunmeng Mountain.

A month later, Li Zhe finally arrived at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, which stretched for thousands of miles, with hundreds of strange peaks and mountains. Facing the mountains of Yunmeng, Li Zhe was completely dumbfounded, and he had no idea which mountain the immortals lived in. Li Zhe thought about it for a while, since very few mortals had ever seen immortals, then they would definitely not live on the periphery of the Yunmeng Mountain Range. From this point of view, the dwelling of the immortals must be in the depths of the Yunmeng Mountain Range. Li Zheyi gritted his teeth and walked firmly into the mountains, hoping that he would be able to meet the immortals.

A few days later, one evening, the sky was getting dark, and Li Zhe ran all day in the dense forest in the mountains, tired and hungry. Li Zhe, who was walking aimlessly, suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a fire in the woods in front of him, so he walked over to meet the firelight.

When he got closer, Li Zhe saw a middle-aged man, carrying a bow and arrow, dressed as a hunter, sitting by the fire, roasting some game he had hunted. Li Zhe stepped forward with a smile and accosted: "Uncle's harvest today is good." ”

The middle-aged hunter glanced up and said kindly, "It's just average." If this son doesn't dislike it, please use some together. As he spoke, the middle-aged hunter handed Li Zhe a hare that was roasting in his hand, along with the wooden stick inserted in it. Li Zhe was not coquettish, thanked him, and took the hare.

"Uncle, how long have you been a hunter here?" After so many days of rambling into someone, Li Zhe certainly wouldn't give up the opportunity to ask for directions. So, while Li Zhe was roasting, he chatted with the middle-aged hunter.

"I started hunting in Yunmeng Mountain when I was sixteen years old, and it's been almost thirty years. As for you, Gongzi, in this deep mountain and old forest, except for us hunters who make a living by hunting, no one dares to come on weekdays. Even if you can't touch the beasts, you see that the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and ordinary people will definitely get lost and die in the forest when they enter this forest. Childe, you also got lost in the woods and came here. The middle-aged hunter thought for a moment and replied.

Li Zhe did not hide it, and told the middle-aged hunter his purpose: "I didn't get lost to come here. I heard that there are immortals on Yunmeng Mountain, and I am very interested in spells, hoping to meet immortals and worship in the fairy gate to learn spells. Uncle, have you ever seen an immortal after being here for so long?"

When the middle-aged hunter heard this, he was a little surprised, and replied, "I have lived here for decades, and I have never seen any immortals. However, I have heard that other hunters have seen immortals here, and I think that my blessing is shallow, and I have no chance to see them. Childe, I advise you to go home and live a good life, if you don't see immortals for decades like me, won't you have to waste your life. ”

After listening to the middle-aged hunter's words, Li Zhe thought to himself: If he really hasn't had the chance to see an immortal for decades, he really doesn't know what to do. Thinking about it again, if you can't find an immortal or learn immortal arts, you can't avenge your father, you can't avenge your father's revenge, what is the value of living, and it makes no difference whether your life is wasted or not.

Li Zhe replied firmly: "Since I have made up my mind, I will stick to it to the end." If it doesn't work for one year, it will be two years, and if it doesn't work for two years, it will be three years, in short, if you don't achieve your goal, you won't give up. I believe that sincerity is the result of the golden stone, and one day I will be able to see the immortals. ”

For several days, looking for immortals aimlessly in the deep mountains and old forests really made Li Zhe a little exhausted. After eating his stomach, a wave of sleepiness hit, and Li Zhe fell next to the fire and soon fell asleep.

When Li Zhe fell asleep, the middle-aged hunter put down the game in his hand, stretched his waist and walked towards Li Zhe, muttering, "It seems that my luck is really good." I couldn't find you, and I thought I was going to miss it. Unexpectedly, your kid sent it to the door by himself, and you really have a relationship with this sect. The middle-aged hunter walked to Li Zhe's side, stretched out his left hand and touched the top of Li Zhe's head, a white light emitted from his fingertips, and it didn't enter the top of Li Zhe's head, and the shining white light swam in Li Zhe's body, and finally returned to the hunter's hand from the top of Li Zhe's head.

Retracting the white light, the middle-aged hunter showed a satisfied smile and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad." The meridians of the whole body are several times stronger than ordinary people, and it seems that I really didn't find the wrong person. ”

In his sleep, Li Zhe was suddenly awakened by a strange noise. Li Zhe hurriedly turned over and sat up, sleeping in this barren forest and wilderness, naturally he had to be highly vigilant, otherwise sooner or later he would become a meal on the plate of some kind of beast.

Li Zhe took out his waist knife, looked around the woods, and soon found that in the woods in the distance, there were two green lights slowly approaching, as the green light approached, the fallen leaves on the ground also made a crisp sound, the sound came from far and near, and the earth shook with the sound. Apparently, some kind of beast is approaching, and it is still very large.

"Uncle, uncle. Li Zhe shouted loudly, trying to wake up the middle-aged hunter. The strange thing is that even if Li Zhe screamed and cut his throat, the middle-aged hunter did not react.

When the beast in the distance came closer, Li Zhe saw clearly that it was a giant black bear, and the two green lights were a pair of huge eyes of the black bear. The black bear also saw Li Zhe and the others, and suddenly raised his front paws, and the person stood up, looking up to the sky and roaring, and the roar moved the sky.

Li Zhe looked at the black bear in front of him, and couldn't help but gasp, the size of this black bear was more than twice as large as the average of the same kind, the person stood up, more than a zhang tall, like a black hill, his eyes flashed with green glow, and a bright black hair stood on his body like a steel needle, which looked particularly hideous.

After the giant black bear roared, he recognized Li Zhe rushing over, and as the black bear's footsteps fell to the ground, Li Zhe felt as if a small earthquake had occurred in the surrounding land. Fortunately, Li Zhe was naturally bold, and he was already afraid when others watched the black bear shake the mountain.

Li Zhe watched the black bear rushing towards him with a fierce momentum, and suddenly remembered that wild beasts were afraid of fire. So, Li Zhe stuck his waist knife on the ground, pulled out a burning tree trunk with a thick bowl mouth from the fire and stabbed the black bear, hoping to scare the black bear away. Surprisingly, the giant black bear was not afraid of flames at all, and stretched out its huge bear paws to meet the fire and slapped on the trunk of the tree. Li Zhe was full of divine power, and he did not avoid it, and went all out to meet it. With a loud bang, the giant palm and the trunk collided together, the strength of the two sides was about the same, and they did not give in to each other, and in the stalemate, the trunk could not withstand the huge force and broke into two sections.

Li Zhe had no choice but to pull out his waist knife from the ground and rush up to fight in close quarters. The black bear is huge, naturally not as flexible as Li Zhe, who is proficient in martial arts, and Li Zhe suddenly turned behind the black bear during the fight, and slashed on the black bear's back with a knife.

struggled to stab, without causing any harm to the black bear, and Li Zhe was also secretly frightened. However, Li Zhe did not flinch, his back was not good, so he tried other parts. During the fight, Li Zhe tried to cut a few times in several places that might be the weak point of the black bear, but the result was the same, he couldn't cut the skin and flesh of the black bear at all. This waist knife itself has limited weight, and it is not a magic weapon. Even if Li Zhe was born with extraordinary powers, he was completely powerless in the face of this giant bear with a rough scalp and thick flesh.

At this time, Li Zhe couldn't help but think of his beloved iron halberd, if the iron halberd was in his hand, he might be able to kill the giant black bear directly. The giant black bear was slashed by Li Zhe again and again, although the skin was rough and the flesh was thick, and there was no substantial damage, but the waist knife was cut down with Li Zhe's divine power, and it also hurt so much that it roared again and again, and completely fell into a rage.

Looking at the giant black bear like a mountain of meat, Li Zhe would not be naΓ―ve to think that his physical strength could be stronger than it. If you continue to fight like this, you must be the first to run out of physical strength, and when your physical strength is really exhausted, you can only let the bear slaughter.

Since there is no chance of winning any more fights, Li Zhe can't help but have the idea of retreating. Li Zhe desperately shouted at the middle-aged hunter, hoping to wake him up and run for his life. However, no matter what he called it, the middle-aged hunter did not react at all. Now, Li Zhe decided to flee alone, and the middle-aged hunter could only ask him to be blessed. The only thing Li Zhe could do was to try to run away from the middle-aged hunter, hoping that the angry black bear would chase him out of here, so that the middle-aged hunter could escape this catastrophe.

Although Li Zhe has dreamed of being a hero since he was a child, and hopes that when he grows up, he can do chivalrous deeds and rob the rich and help the poor, but he is not a hot-blooded idiot who does not know the severity of his life, and he also has a bottom line to help others. If it was his relatives lying on the ground, Li Zhe naturally would not have the idea of running for his life, but in order to help a stranger he just met, he didn't even want his own life, Li Zhe was not so great.

Li Zhe silently thought in his heart: This uncle, it's not that I don't want to save you, it's really beyond my strength. I was desperately pestering the black bear just now, hoping to wake you up and escape. Helpless, you don't wake up. I can only lure the black bear away now, and I can be regarded as repaying you for that meal. If the black bear turns back again, there is nothing I can do.

Li Zhe fought and retreated, leading the black bear to retreat in the direction away from the middle-aged hunter. After retreating for a distance, Li Zhe saw the opportunity to force the giant black bear away with a knife and turned around and ran. Unexpectedly, man is not as good as heaven, and he doesn't know what he tripped under his feet and fell to the ground. Li Zhe, who fell to the ground, turned around and saw the mountain-like body of the giant black bear pressing down on him, he took out the strength to feed, raised his legs and kicked towards the black bear.

A sharp pain came from his feet, waking Li Zhe up from his dream, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that there was no giant black bear, and he was still sleeping next to the fire, and his feet were kicking on a big tree with a thick waist.

Could it be a dream? But the scene just now was too real, and now I was out of strength and sweating, no different from the real life and death battle. Isn't it a dream? However, there are no black bears, and the middle-aged hunter still sits by the fire and roasts meat. What is going on? Li Zhe was completely confused.

At this moment, the middle-aged hunter is also overjoyed. The strength of this kid's primordial spirit is several times higher than that of ordinary people, and the mana consumed by casting illusions on him just now is enough to deal with a monk in the early stage of spiritual induction. What's even more gratifying is that this kid has a good character, which is in line with the purpose of the patriarch of this sect to establish a sect. Although, in the end, Li Zhe also wanted to abandon him and escape alone, the middle-aged hunter didn't care, thinking that this was a normal reaction of people. After all, a person who can casually sacrifice his life in order to save a stranger is directly a saint. If you point to this request to accept apprentices, the Yunmeng Sect would have no successor eight hundred years earlier, and it would have disappeared.
