Chapter 33: Banditry

"Xiao Qian, where should we go now?" Ning Caichen asked softly as he hurried all the way to the city gate.

"It's almost noon, it's the heaviest time of the day, and I can't help you much, so our target can only be on those demon beasts who are just beginning to psychic. Xiao Qian thought for a while and said, "Lanruo Temple is one of the ten fierce Jedi, and the power of yin and evil is the easiest to give birth to demons. Over the years, there must have been some of the fierce birds and beasts near the temple that have been psychic, and we can go and see them. ”

Ning Caichen nodded, and with a thought, he instilled the true qi in his body into the golden talisman of the Human Emperor's Pen.

With the slow passage of true qi, the golden rune became more and more brilliant, and in the flickering light, the golden rune gradually blurred, and the body of the human emperor's pen appeared in his right hand.

Out of Jinhua, to the northern suburbs, to the windy Lanruo Temple, Ning Caichen followed Xiaoqian's point, bypassed the ghostly palace, stepped into the jungle, and stopped in front of a tomb mountain.

This tomb mountain is about ten zhang high, with winding paths and secluded paths, dense trees, and dense branches and leaves to shade the sun. Walking on the mountain road in between, the light is dim, like dusk, and the wind does not penetrate the forest, which makes people feel panicked.

Ning Caichen cautiously climbed across the mountain road and came to the mountain, only to see a forest of stone monuments, bulging graves, and white bones paved on the road, as if he was experiencing the scene of a horror movie in real life.

"There are no ghosts here, right?" Ning Caichen stepped on a dry bone, and a crisp sound came from the ground, almost not scaring him.

"There are ghosts, but even with the shelter of the dense forest, the yang energy of the day is still too heavy, and those ghosts dare not come out. Xiao Qian said with a smile: "Now let's look for the wolf's lair first, if you can kill a few weak demon wolves, you can get Neidan, and you can get a small profit." ”

Ning Caichen nodded, and just as he was about to reply, there was a sudden terrible eagle roar of broken gold and broken stones in the distant sky, causing the true qi in his body to surge.

"Is this a sonic attack?" Ning Caichen said with a frown, suppressing his restless true qi.

"Sonic attack ......" Xiao Qian muttered two sentences of this word, and said with a smile: "The description of these four words is also appropriate, but scholars, you have to remember that the demon wolf can be provoked, and the demon eagle must not attack." Because the demon wolf here will not easily go down the grave mountain, but the demon eagle who is even more resentful dares to chase and kill for hundreds of miles, do you think you can survive the attack of the demon eagle that covers the sky and the sun?"

Ning Caichen imagined that picture for a moment, and suddenly his body froze: "Okay, let's look for the wolf's den first." ”

The demon wolves in the tomb mountain generally travel with the ghosts at night to hunt the rest of the beasts in the mountain to satisfy their hunger, so during the day, most of them live in the wolf's den to sleep and regain their energy.

Xiao Qian released her divine thoughts, and carefully explored the area within a radius of half a mile with Ning Caichen's walking, and finally found a hidden wolf's den within a hundred miles.

"Xiao Qian, if we seal the entrance to the wolf's den, will the demon wolf inside starve to death?" Standing in front of the wolf's den, Ning Caichen's mind was full of thoughts, and a bad idea came to his mind.

"An ordinary wolf maybe, but the demon wolf has sharp claws and teeth, and it can be pulled out from another direction. Xiao Qian replied seriously.

Ning Caichen paused for a moment: "What about water and fire? Will it have a miraculous effect if you set fire to the wolf's den or pour water?"

"First of all, you don't know how big the wolf's den is, just setting fire to the entrance of the cave, it is difficult to endanger the demon wolf in the depths of the cave. Irrigation is a good way, but on this grave mountain, where are you going to get a large amount of water?" Xiao Qian denied them one by one, and finally said: "Scholar, I know your tricks...... Ahem, resourceful, we will definitely be able to think of a better way after a long time, but our ultimate goal is not only to kill the wolf to get the inner pill, but also to practice. ”

Ning Caichen was stunned and patted his forehead: "I almost pretended to be smart and did a stupid thing to buy and return the pearls." In a life-and-death crisis, or in competition with others, it is a good thing to have a hundred soldiers in your chest and a good plan in your belly. But in the grinding, you still can't be opportunistic. Xiaoqian, thank you. ”

Xiao Qian smiled embarrassedly: "It's not much to be thankful for." It's just that you've just set foot in the world of cultivation and your understanding of it is almost completely blank, and it's normal to think about things in the simplest and most effective way. ”

Ning Caichen lowered his body, picked up a stone casually, used his true qi, and threw it into the wolf's den.

"Whew......"

A ferocious and desolate wolf howl came from the wolf's den, Ning Caichen quickly retreated, and a gray wolf as strong as a calf jumped out of the hole, stood in front of the wolf's den, and looked coldly at the figure in front of him.

"Preliminary knot, the strength is not third-rate, I will not make a move. Xiao Qian let out a divine thought, glanced at the gray wolf, and said crisply.

Ning Caichen took a deep breath, calmed down his fear of the fierce wolf, held the human emperor pen, and took the lead.

The demon wolf that had initially condensed the inner dan had begun to have spiritual intelligence, and when he saw that the weak figure dared to rush towards him first, disdain and ferocity flashed in the wolf's eyes, and he jumped and rushed towards Ning Caichen.

The two sides of "......" intersected for a short time, because of the gray wolf's contempt, they used their claws to slap the sharp human emperor's pen, and as a result, the blade-like wolf claws were broken together, and the entire wolf foot was almost cut off.

The gray wolf retreated in horror, looking at the inconspicuous human emperor golden pen in fear, and suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, and gray shadows jumped out of caves one after another, and finally six gray wolves surrounded Ning Caichen.

"One dozen six?" Ning Caichen suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, turned around quickly, and rushed towards a huge gray wolf, wanting to lift the surrounded situation.

"Wow!" one wolf foot was cut off by the Emperor's pen, accompanied by the gray wolf's terrible howl, and the remaining five gray wolf remnants shot towards Ning Caichen's body together.

"Huh...... ......" The sound of the blade cutting through the cloth continued to sound, and four bloody scars were added to Ning Caichen's body in an instant. The other gray wolf wanted to bite his neck, but was knocked away by Xiao Qian's true qi.

For as long as he can remember, this was the first time that Ning Caichen had suffered such a serious trauma, and the intense pain in his back made his face constantly distort, and his mouth kept gasping for cold air.

"Kill!" The body jumped forward suddenly, and his arms were naturally stretched, dodging the re-attack of the five gray wolves, Ning Caichen knocked the broken gray wolf to the ground with a punch, and the human emperor's pen then cut off its neck.

The wolf's blood splattered, staining Ning Caichen's white clothes red. With his bare eyes, Huo Ran turned around, but was slammed to the ground by a gray wolf, and the cold wolf teeth bit his throat.

Ning Caichen drank lightly, and hit the wolf's teeth with a punch, and suddenly the broken teeth and blood flew together, and his left fist was full of flesh and scars.

The human emperor's pen turned into a golden ray, and then inserted into the wolf's head, and the wailing gray wolf suddenly froze and collapsed on Ning Caichen's body, blocking the attack of the other four gray wolves for him.

"Woo ......" killed two companions in a row, and the remaining four gray wolves raised their heads to the sky and howled, screaming with grief and cruelty, soaring into the sky, but it attracted the attention of a row of passing goshawks.

Ten relatively thin goshawks, followed by a fierce eagle leader with fierce physique, sharp eagle eyes and a ferocious bearing, constantly circled around this place.

"Huh...... ...... "The gray wolf roared on the ground, its claws flying, constantly adding scars to the blood-stained white-robed scholar, but it was limited to that, every time there was a fatal attack, it would be stopped by Xiao Qian's spell.

Ning Caichen's eyes were red, forgetting the pain, forgetting the tiredness, a bloody left fist kept hitting the gray wolf's face, and the human emperor pen in his right hand cooperated, cutting their throats.

One, two, three, under Ning Caichen's reckless killing, the four gray wolves lost three of them in an instant, and the remaining gray wolf's eyes were full of fear, and after whining, he didn't dare to move forward again, curled his tail and quickly retreated, and plunged directly into the wolf's den.

"Bang!" The final crisis dissipated, Ning Caichen's tense steel nerves suddenly relaxed, and his whole body collapsed to the ground as if it had fallen apart, grinning at the sudden pain coming to his brain, and panting heavily.

"Scholar, it's not good, that group of goshawks has flown down, hurry up and get out of here. Just when Ning Caichen was dazed, he suddenly heard Xiao Qian shouting loudly.

Startled, Ning Caichen raised his eyes to look at the sky, only to see ten goshawks in two teams, following behind an eagle leader, frantically rushing downward.

"Damn!" Ning Caichen roared angrily, and his desire to survive supported him to get up quickly and run desperately.

On the way, there were many stone monuments and trees, which provided Ning Caichen with greater vitality. In the desperate run, the goshawks did not catch up with him quickly, and let him run down the mountain road.

Seeing the figure disappear into the dense forest of the mountain road, the eagle leader was unwilling to roar, and returned to the gray wolf corpse with ten goshawks, pecked the wolf's head with a bow, and took out the gray wolf Neidan to eat. At this time, the other ten eagles dared to step forward and eat the wolf corpse.

Of the five Neidan, the Eagle Leader devoured one and put away the remaining four. The remaining wolf corpses were eaten by the ten eagles one by one and turned into white bones.

After waiting until the eagles were full of food and left, Ning Caichen, who was hidden in the bushes of the mountain road, revealed his figure and returned to the place where he had died.

"I'm going to kill the eagle. "The emperor who was chased and killed by a group of 'thugs' fled in a hurry, almost lost his eagle claws, and all the benefits of his bloody struggle were taken away, leaving not even a little residue for himself, Ning Caichen, who had never suffered such a big loss, was close to the edge of the rampage.

"Under normal circumstances, you can't kill them, and fighting hard is not an experience, but a death. So, now you can use your brains to hunt down these outrageous bandits. Xiao Qian's voice was like a pool of spring water, suppressing his anger that was about to break his mind.

"To deal with such a brutal creature, you have to use some indiscriminate means. Ning Caichen's cold eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "Now, let's go back to the city." ”
