Chapter 4: Mad Dogs
After that beast and demon catastrophe, from north to south, everywhere you see is a miserable desolate scene, thousands of miles of no people, no sound in a hundred villages, all of which are often encountered. The north is still better because of the shortness of the poison, and the further south you go, the more severe this tragic scene becomes.
Ruins and ruined towns abound. Even in the open space at the edge of the field, from time to time you can even find white bones, which is even more shocking. The wind and smoke are bleak, a bleak scene, this world is crowded, people are like grass ants, and they can't even control their own lives.
Many people who had fled to the north began to return to their hometowns after being sure that the catastrophe had indeed receded. The land of infinite desolation is slowly beginning to gain popularity. It's just that in this scene, there is still a lot of sadness, on both sides of the road, there are still corpses that have fallen to the ground from time to time, some people are killed by beasts and demons, and some people, but after this catastrophe, they are hungry and cold on the way back to their hometowns, and they are scattered in a foreign land. Occasionally, in a few remote places, there are still small remnants of beast demons, and from time to time there are rumors of beast demons harming people. It's just that at this time, after all, it is the trend of the times, and although the small group of beast demons is still terrifying, it can no longer stop more people's desire to return home.
And even these beast demons who survived for a long time actually disappeared quickly. Because among the hundreds of people who returned to their hometowns, there were still many disciples of the righteous path, and once there was a word of beast demons harming people somewhere, they would soon be subdued by these righteous path disciples.
When the battle of Qingyun was fought, the beast god was defeated under the ancient sword of Zhuxian, but he was not killed on the spot, and the people in the righteous path were not fools.
If you have the opportunity to capture the beast god and look at the world, how can this merit and prestige be idle? Not to mention that the beast god is a peerless demon, and if you want to say that there is no peerless magic weapon around you, even a fool will not believe it.
This kind of speculation and thought, mixed in the flow of people, spread like cháo water, surging towards the south, behind the gradual tranquility of the world, but there seem to be countless people watching with bated breath. In contrast, it is the pain of the people in the world, and few people are concerned.
With this group of people returning to the south, the people who walked and trekked in the crowd, Zhou Xian, Xiaohuan and Wild Dog Daoren, their feelings were different from others.
Zhou Zhou Xian still held the bamboo pole in his hand, and it was still the white cloth with the words "Immortal Guidance" written on it, but the original white sè, in this year of war and chaos, it was also black and yellow, and there were still a few holes at a glance. Although the cool breeze blows, this cloth banner is still blowing in the wind, but there is no half of the immortal energy, and it is all broken with hanging heads.
As for the Wild Dog Daoren, for such a long time, they have been following Zhou Yixian and Xiaohuan, and the three of them have wandered the world together. But at this moment, he wrapped his face with a cloth, not for anything else, but at this time, all the people around him were a little allergic to the slightly strange-looking characters, and if they were not careful, they would probably be mistaken for a member of the beast demon, so it was inevitable that they would be too wronged. After experiencing a few such misunderstandings, don't Zhou Xian roll his eyes or Xiaohuan persuade himself, the wild dog Taoist himself couldn't stand it, so he found a piece of cloth and surrounded his face first.
Among the three, Xiaohuan looks the most refreshing, originally, a young and beautiful girl, naturally eye-catching and good-looking. In this sea of grief and loss, she seems to be the most beautiful figure.
Along the way, she was completely different from the people around her, she often kept a smile, but she was by no means the kind of schadenfreude, on the contrary, she had been ignoring Zhou Xian's chattering advice, and tried her best to help the helpless people around her.
Or if someone is tired and falls, she will come forward to help him up, or if someone is hungry and cold, she will give them food and clothing, or if there is a sick and weak person, she seems to have some medical skills, and she will come forward to pay a visit, and even when she sees the bones of the fallen on the ground by the roadside, she will walk gently in silence, and do not avoid the smell of fish, and bury them roughly, which is considered a kind of comfort.
Along the way, in addition to facing the solemnity of the sick and weak dead, Xiaohuan seemed to always have a smile on his face, on such a gloomy road, as if he was a compassionate fairy. Zhou Zhou Xian still kept whispering and nagging forever, and the wild dog Taoist followed behind Xiaohuan, never dissuaded Xiaohuan, he just wanted to do what Xiaohuan wanted, he did it first: bury the corpse, he started to dig a pit, and rescued the weak, he personally took care of people. Along the way, in his eyes, it seems that there is only the figure of that beautiful girl, what Xiaohuan does, he will do, even if the years are hard and tired, it seems that he doesn't care.
It's just that they are not immortals after all, not to mention the rest, there are so many hungry and cold people, and there is only a little bit of food, even if they are soon gone. Forced, the three of them had to leave the team temporarily and walk towards the mountains, hoping to find something to eat in the mountains and forests.
Under the catastrophe, the tragic situation is like this!
Zhou Zhou Xian held the bamboo pole in his hand, looked at the gradually fading Tiansè, shook his head, and sighed: "This year, it is really impossible to live." ”
Xiaohuan walked beside him, smiled, and did not speak. However, in this short period of time, although there is a touch of wind and dust on her face, she is still as beautiful as ever, and there is a little more maturity that she did not have in the past. The wild dog Taoist followed behind her, the tall shadow seemed to coincide with the slender figure of Xiaohuan, and his face wrapped in a curtain could not see anything, only a pair of eyes sparkling.
At this moment, they had left the avenue quite a distance, on a small hill, this night yīn clouds were thick, only a few points of starlight were far away, but there was not a single moon sè. The surrounding mountains and wilderness are silent at the moment, only the sound of insects chirping from unknown places, the duration is short, and I don't know where it is.
Xiaohuan paused, as if remembering something, turned his head and smiled at the wild dog Taoist: "Dao Chief, now that there are no outsiders, you just take off the cloth on your face and wrap a whole rì, I'm afraid you will be uncomfortable." ”
The Wild Dog Daoren's slightly bright eyes flashed in the dark night, and he slowly removed the curtain on his face, revealing his strange face, and said in a low voice: "Uh, actually, I'm fine, but you're busy again today, so you're tired, right?"
Zhou Zhou Xian also stopped, glanced around, saw a dead wood lying sideways, hurriedly walked over, sat on it, and then made a lazy waist like a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, and then glanced at Xiaohuan, and said: "Yes, she is busy, she is compassionate, so she gave her grandfather's dry food to others to eat, so that even your grandfather is starving now." ”
Xiaohuan's face turned red, he walked over and stood behind Zhou Zhou Xian, stretched out his hands and gently beat Zhou Zhou Xian's shoulder, and said, "Grandpa, we are okay, but look at those people, if you don't eat something, you really don't have the strength to go on, I'm afraid that you will die." ”
The wild dog Taoist looked left and right, and said, "You sit here, and I'll go to the forest to see if I can catch some wild beasts and satisfy my hunger for a while." ”
Xiaohuan smiled at the wild dog Taoist and said, "Okay, there is a long way." ”
The wild dog Taoist cracked his mouth and laughed, Zhou Zhou Xian suddenly snorted, and sneered: "What are you laughing at? And it's okay to laugh, but the old man sees how you laugh so obscenely, isn't there any unscrupulous thoughts in your heart?"
The wild dog Taoist was startled, quickly put away his smile, and looked at Xiaohuan again, only to see Xiaohuan looking at him with a little apology, his eyes immediately lit up, where was there still the slightest anger, and when Zhou Zhou Xian did not exist in general, he ignored him at all, and said to Xiaohuan, "Then you wait for me to come back." Then he walked quickly into the woods.
Zhou Zhou Xian muttered angrily, and Xiaohuan said slightly behind him: "Grandpa, that wild dog Taoist has been with us for so long, why don't you give people a good face, besides, he has taken care of us along the way, and he is not a bad person!"
Zhou Zhou Xian snorted and said, "Do you know what a bad guy and a good guy are?
"Grandpa!" Xiaohuan shouted, cutting off Zhou Xian's words. On Monday, Xian Na Na complained a few words and said no more.
※※※
There was a swishing sound in the woods, followed by a fluttering sound, and after a while, a burst of footsteps came quickly, and the wild dog Dao man had a happy face, and picked up a wild bird from the forest and ran out. After the beast demon catastrophe a few years ago, all living beings were destroyed, that is, in the mountains and wilderness in the past, these beasts and mountain birds seemed to be much less than in the past.
The wild dog Taoist rushed back to the place and said loudly: "Look, what I caught" Suddenly, his voice stopped abruptly, and the original clearing was empty, and Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan were gone.
"Click", the wild bird fell from the hands of the wild dog Taoist to the ground.
The night wind was cold, and the chill seemed to soak deep into the bone marrow in an instant, and the body of the wild dog Taoist was faintly shivering for some reason. He stepped forward step by step, and there were even traces of Zhou Xian sitting down on the dead wood that had fallen to the ground.
"They're gone, they're gone," the wild dog man's mind was in confusion, and the expression on a dog's face changed, and it was actually a look of great fear and sadness. At this moment, the wild dog was stunned, but after a while, his body suddenly shook, and his eyes lit up, but he saw that behind the dead wood, there were several messy footprints, and in the soft soil next to the footprints, there was a huge footprint twice as large as ordinary people, with three teeth in front, which was by no means owned by humans.
The face of the wild dog Dao changed greatly, first happy, then shocked, at this moment, there seemed to be a long howl in the distance, the sound was so terrible, like a wolf barking at the moon. The wild dog Dao couldn't help but take a step back, but after a while, the muscles on his dog's face trembled slightly, and he suddenly roared, and the whole person rushed into the howl deep in the dense forest, looking at it, it seemed like a mad dog.
A crazy dog!
Just as the wild dog Taoist rushed into the dense forest, on the dark canopy, a white light suddenly lit up, galloping from the north, crossing the sky, breaking through the sky, without the slightest stop, flying straight to the south, like a meteor. And on the ground, after a while, when the white light was still in the sky, a black shadow appeared not far from the clearing just now, and when I looked closely, I was dressed in black and masked, but I gasped slightly, stopped in the forest, and said to myself:
"How could he be so jīng, it's really a hell. As he was resting, suddenly, he seemed to feel something, turned his head and glanced into the depths of the dense forest, only to hear the faint sound of fighting in the depths of the dense forest, the man in black hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and glanced at the white light in the sky, shook his head, and sighed. Immediately, his body flashed, but it was like a ghost, flashing into the direction where the wild dog Taoist rushed in just now.
※※※
The wild dog Taoist fanged magic weapon in his hand, his face was nervous, but after a moment's effort, his shoulders were dark red, and it seemed that he had already hung the color. But in front of him, there were two beast demons with huge bodies, tiger heads and lion bodies, enough to be as tall as a person, and the wild dog Dao people looked like they were vulnerable in front of them.
Zhou Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan were behind those two beast demons at this moment. In this dense forest, the two beast demons seemed to have made a nest in this remote place, and many branches and grass and blades were piled up in a disorderly manner, and the smell of fishy smells came to the nostrils. But the most terrifying thing is that there are the corpses of the dead scattered everywhere, and in addition to Zhou Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan, there are actually seven or eight living people here, but it seems that if they are not unconscious, they will wake up with bones and horror.
I don't know where these two beast demons captured so many people, but from this, we can imagine how tragic the beast demon catastrophe was!
Facing these two beast demons with huge bodies, the Wild Dog Daoist was breathing rapidly and was on guard. Just now he rushed here, Fang saw that Zhou Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan were indeed here, and before he could shout, he had already been attacked by two beast demons. Under the battle, these two beast demons turned out to be very extraordinary, and their strength was infinite, and they actually scratched the shoulders of the wild dog Taoist. But despite this, the Wild Dog Daoist is a cultivator after all, and unlike ordinary people, in a panic, he sacrificed a magic weapon, and also injured a beast demon, and at this moment, the beast demon's front legs were bloody, and it was obviously not good.
It's just that these two beast demons looked very fierce, and when they saw the blood, instead of flinching, they stared at the wild dog Taoist, just for a moment to worry about the magic weapon in his hand, and temporarily confronted each other. But the wild dog Taoist was secretly bitter in his heart, the fight just now, he knew in his heart that if it was such a beast demon, he might win miserably, and if the two were together, he would definitely die.
It's just that he may be able to turn around and escape, but somehow, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally saw the worried and frightened eyes behind the beast demon, and he couldn't move his feet to escape alone.
Is there something that can't be escaped?
The ferocious beast demon roared, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and pounced. Two dark shadows swept through the shadows, accompanied by the screams of Xiaohuan.
The wild dog Taoist had a dry throat, his legs trembled slightly, and he instinctively turned around to run, but, but, his body pounced on it, towards the fierce beast demon, as if-
Mad dog!
As a result, the four claws of the two beast demons grabbed into the body of the Wild Dog Daoist almost at the same time, and the fangs of the Wild Dog Daoist were inserted into the chest of the beast demon who was injured just now.
The beast demon and the wild dog Daoist screamed at the same time, and Xiaohuan's exclamation had turned into a cry.
Blood splashed, and the wild dog Taoist only felt that his body was torn in half, and he staggered backwards, and in his panic, he only saw four blood mouths on his body, and the blood gushed out like a spring.
Ahead, the beast demon roared a few times, and his feet went limp, but he fell to the ground. The beast demon next to him screamed, and he didn't care about chasing and killing the wild dog Taoist, but beside the seriously injured and dying beast demon, he kept arching his companion with his head and claws. It's just that the beast demon's wound was pierced into the heart by its fangs, and after a few dying struggles, its head fell to the ground and died.
"Smack", there was a soft sound, but it was the wild dog Taoist who finally fell to the ground, kneeling on the ground, his upper body was almost soaked with blood, a piece of blood red, gasping for breath, and the dog's face was pale.
This sound alarmed the remaining beast demon, and seeing that his companion was dead, this beast demon was even more like a few yù crazy, looking up to the sky and roaring, fangs like blood, and pounced again.
Seeing that the wild dog Taoist was about to die under the claws of the beast, suddenly the ground was flowering, a yellow light flashed, a few pieces of rune paper fluttered, the wild dog Taoist was nowhere to be seen, and the beast demon pounced.
The beast demon was shocked for a while, but after a moment, he suddenly heard a "oops", and Zhou Zhou Xian and the wild dog Daoist covered in blood actually fell from the sky, and he still grabbed a few talismans in his hand.
This is naturally Zhou Zhou Xian used those ancestral immortal methods that he claimed to be, and the beast demon sneaked up on his ancestors and grandchildren, and it changed suddenly, but in a moment, the two of them have been cured, under the blood of the beast demon, how can the two of them have a chance to make trouble. Fortunately, the wild dog Taoist was hot-headed and rushed to save people, this was a moment of space, I wanted to take advantage of this to escape, I didn't want the wild dog Taoist to die instead, and in desperation, Zhou Zhou Xian had to save people first.
It's just that his few techniques seem to be just the work of the three-legged cat, although there are some strange techniques similar to the Taoist commonly known as "five ghosts moving", and the wild dog Taoist was removed out of thin air, but the Taoist method was only halfway through, and somehow he lost his hand, and the two of them fell from mid-air, and the wolf bèi was very much for a while. Fortunately, when he fell, the wild dog Taoist was on Zhou Xian, otherwise this fall would have cost him his life.
But at this moment, they couldn't talk about what they were thinking, and the beast demon found in a blink of an eye, and in a fit of rage, it had pounced again. Zhou Xian and the Wild Dog Daoist fell dizzy, and the Wild Dog Daoist was better, but he was seriously injured and couldn't dodge. In desperation, I had to wait for death. On his dog's face, a trace of confusion quietly passed, and he looked back, as if he wanted to see something?
Unexpectedly, at this moment of lightning, a figure suddenly rushed up, blocking in front of the wild dog Taoist and Zhou Zhou Xian, only to hear the man shouting: "Grandpa Dao Chief"
Under the cold claws and fangs of the beast demon, Xiaohuan's desperate crying but calm face!
In an instant, the wild dog Dao Master only felt a stream of hot blood rushing to the top of his head, and his whole body was boiling like a hot one, looking at that figure, a weak and beautiful shadow!
※※※
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the two figures collided.
Xiaohuan staggered to the side, covered in mud, but she didn't pay attention to these at all, and when she looked back, she saw the wild dog Taoist who pushed her body away, pounced, entangled with the beast demon, and threw the beast demon to the ground. In a fit of rage, the beast demon stretched out its claws and frantically scratched and stabbed on the back of the wild dog daoist, and the flesh flew in an instant, and the wild dog daoist actually hugged the beast demon to the death, without the slightest intention of letting go.
Xiaohuan and Zhou Zhou Xian were all faceless at the moment, and everyone behind them was frightened for a while, and after a while, suddenly I don't know who shouted, and all the people who could move around rushed over, surrounded the beast demon, picked up all the utensils that could be held at hand, and didn't use their palms, legs, feet and even teeth to desperately greet the ferocious beast demon.
The beast demon roared loudly at first, desperately resisting, but after a while, its voice gradually became quieter, and finally it became silent. And the people around seemed to be crazy, and they kept banging on the beast demon's body desperately.
It wasn't until Zhou Zhou Xian was the first to wake up and hurriedly stopped everyone, saving people was important, and the others slowly stopped. And this relief, in an instant, many people collapsed to the ground.
There were also a few traces of blood on the small ring, but she didn't care about it at all, and hurriedly pulled the beast demon corpse with all her might, trying to pull the wild dog Taoist out from under the beast demon. Unexpectedly, after pulling for a long time, the beast demon and the wild dog Taoist couldn't be separated, Xiaohuan was shocked and anxious, and almost cried.
In the end, Zhou Zhou Xian didn't mess up, and after a careful inspection, he found that it was the wild dog Dao man's hands that pierced through the tough fur of the beast demon, penetrated straight into the chest, and embedded it inside, no wonder they couldn't be separated. After discovering this, Zhou Zhou Xian hurriedly beckoned everyone to help, and with the help of others who still had the strength to spare, he finally pulled out the bloodied hands of the wild dog Taoist from the beast demon's body and separated the two bodies.
Xiaohuanhua was pale, put the body of the wild dog Taoist on the ground, was asking, suddenly his face was lost, and he probed in front of the mouth and nose of the wild dog Taoist with his hand, and he was stunned!
"He Grows Him"
Zhou Xian hurriedly said, "What's wrong with him?"
Xiaohuan's lips trembled slightly, his eyes were full of tears, and he cried in a trembling voice: "Dao Chief, he has already lost his breath." ”
Zhou Zhou Xian was also stunned for a while, and Mu Ran was speechless.
In Xiaohuan's mournful cry and choked voice, under the faint light in the darkness, on the strange face of the wild dog Taoist, there was a faint smile distorted in pain.
He is dead, like a dead mad dog!
Who in this world has ever been sober?
