Chapter 40: Mountain Wolves

A few days ago, when he was in the Blood Fang Clan, Shen Shi had learned from the mouths of the Blood Fang Patriarch and the Iron Monkey Mountain Wolf that this wilderness in the north had a special meaning for this strange demon tribe. In all the myths and legends that have been passed down from ancient times to the present day, there is no doubt that this wilderness of the north has always been the most important spiritual pillar of the Bloodfang tribe, at least spiritually.

The Bloodfang tribe has been blessed by the dragon god to reproduce to this day, and the greatest mission of the entire tribe is to guard this forbidden land of the wilderness, to be precise, to guard the edge of this northern wilderness, and prevent any outsiders from penetrating into it. Because in the depths of this wilderness, a terrible ancient demon was once suppressed, and it must not be allowed to escape.

For this legend, which seemed a bit ridiculous to Shen Shi but was extremely sacred to the Bloodtooth Clan, this mixed-race hybrid tribe that was incompatible with the normal demon clan in the outside world had survived for generations in this desolate wilderness, guarding the ancient beliefs in their hearts.

Until one day, as countless years passed, and the bloodfang tribe gradually lost the power it once had and became weaker and weaker, a terrible disaster finally befell them. At the annual Black Dragon Festival celebration, almost all the people of the entire tribe died in one day, and as for who the murderer was, although Shen Shi had some guesses, he was not completely sure until now.

Although for that inexplicable dragon god. Shen Shi didn't believe that Shen Shi didn't take it to heart about the myths and legends that the Blood Fang tribe had guarded for generations and the rule that suppressed the forbidden land of the ancient demons, but in his heart, unlike the vast majority of human races, he didn't have much bad feelings towards the demon clan here in the Blood Fang Clan, and he could even say that he still had a good feeling.

Perhaps this was because he had a special experience in the past, after all, he had lived in the demon world for three years, and had contact with many demon clans and had an in-depth understanding of their world. However, it is precisely because of this that he understands the demon clan in the Hongmeng world, Shen Shi actually knows that this strange and mixed-blood blood tooth clan will not only hate and despise them, but even if they meet the real demon clan in the demon world, I am afraid that they will also be despised by the orthodox demon clan whose traditional concept of blood purification is unbreakable, and may even usher in not a welcome, but also a bloody slaughter.

In other words, this Bloodtooth tribe was actually a foreign object that could hardly exist in the world, and he would really sympathize with them and try to understand them......

It was not a pleasant idea, but Shen Shi knew that it was likely to be true. So as he stepped over the not-so-tall wall behind the Bloodfang tribe and stepped directly into the desolate and vast wilderness of the north, he glanced back at the tribe that was already lifeless, with corpses and blood everywhere.

Like the tip of the withered grass in the wasteland, the last drop of dew in the early morning breaks and dissipates in the scorching and dry sunlight, just like a fragile life, fleeting in the blink of an eye.

He stood silent for a moment, then nodded lightly at the blood-stained stone house complex, then turned and strode forward, heading into the depths of the northern wilderness. Behind him, Xiao Hei trotted over, but at this time it seemed to be a little uneasy, looking up at the wilderness in front of it from time to time, and seemed to be a little uneasy.

※※※

Moving all the way, at the beginning, Shen Shi could still find the traces of the two lines of footprints after careful searching, as well as fewer and fewer traces of blood to track the whereabouts of the people in front of him, but after leaving the Bloodfang tribe and going deep into this northern wilderness for several miles, the wind and sand on the wasteland gradually grew larger, and the footprints in front of him quickly disappeared, not to mention those bloodstains.

Shen Shi didn't know who these footprints and bloodstains belonged to, maybe they were survivors of the Bloodtooth tribe who escaped by luck, or maybe they belonged to powerful and murderous murderers. However, with such a tragic situation among the Bloodfang Clan, Shen Shi could imagine that in front of the murderer of that massacre, most of the Demon Clans of the Bloodtooth Clan had no power to resist. Coupled with those severed limbs and broken arms, those who can use blades and knives will obviously not be powerful demon beasts that suddenly appear, but can only be Terran monks.

Perhaps, there really will be a fish or two of the Bloodfang tribe slipping through the net?

When all the traces in front of him were finally completely annihilated, Shen Shi frowned and stopped, and after pondering for a moment, he raised his head and looked around.

Now he has entered this northern wilderness that has been guarded by the Bloodfang tribe for generations, about seven or eight miles, and it seems that the wasteland in this direction does not seem to be much different from the rest of the dragon wilderness he has visited, it is also a desolation, there are many large and small gravels on the Gobi Desert, low and withered yellow hay can be seen everywhere, and then there is an endless desolation stretching out endlessly to the left and right ahead, and there is no end in sight.

In such a vast and vast area, where is the suppressed ancient demon in the mouth of the Bloodfang tribe? It is impossible to say that the demon is so large that it is almost the size of this wilderness, right?

Shen Shi shook his head with a wry smile, pondered for a while, but still felt that he had no clue, including the footprints he had tracked, all of which had been cut off again, and he didn't know where the people who came in front of him had gone or if there had been some accidents, seeing that this wilderness was so huge, he didn't know where to go next.

He lowered his head, glanced at Xiao Hei who was following him, and said, "What should I do, Xiao Hei? I don't know where they went." ”

Little Black shook its head, and it seemed a little absent-minded, but after a few moments, it suddenly took two steps forward, then sniffed on the ground again, and then snorted twice, but picked a direction and began to trot forward.

Shen Shi was taken aback, but he was a little surprised, but then he thought that his little pig had already had all kinds of strange and inexplicable abilities, so he didn't bother to think about it, smiled slightly, and followed.

Xiao Hei chose the direction to go, not due north from Shen Shi's way, but slightly offset to the east, roughly going in the northeast direction of the north. However, in this vast and desolate wasteland, it seems that no matter where you go, the scenery you see is exactly the same, and there is no difference.

After walking for about ten miles like this, Xiao Hei's walking speed began to slow down slowly, and it seemed that even with his skills, it was becoming more and more difficult to track the whereabouts of those people in front of him.

Shen Shi followed Xiao Hei's back, looking at its appearance and was a little worried in his heart, suddenly, he saw Xiao Hei pause suddenly, as if he suddenly felt something, and he was very surprised. It raised its head, sniffed at the air in mid-air a few times, and then let out a low roar, but its body suddenly splendid, and after adjusting its direction slightly, it rushed out like an arrow from a string.

Shen Shi's face immediately calmed down, he took a deep breath, looked around carefully, and then quickly followed.

This time he didn't wait long, and after running out of the thirty-four zhang place, Shen Shi saw a figure suddenly appear on the wilderness in front of him.

A motionless figure lying on the ground.

Xiao Hei ran directly towards the person, but Shen Shi's pace slowed down a little, and a yellow talisman silently appeared between his fingers, and then slowly walked towards the person.

There was a solemn silence above the wilderness, except for the dry wind blowing coldly.

Step by step, he slowly approached, and gradually, he smelled a familiar smell again......

Bloody gas.

The corners of Shen Shi's eyes twitched slightly, as if he thought of something, and quickly quickened his pace to approach the figure, and when he got closer, he saw the person's situation clearly, and his body was suddenly shocked, and his face suddenly turned white.

It was a demon clan of the Blood Fang Clan, a wolf-headed human body, and the strange thing was that one of his palms turned out to be a hoof, such a strange image Shen Shi felt extremely familiar, so in the next moment, he recognized this person lying on the ground, it was the one he saw on the first day who walked with the iron monkey, and it was also the mountain wolf that made him realize for the first time that the half-blood demon clan was alive.

He walked up to the wolf's side, crouched down, and for some reason, his face turned a little pale.

The mountain wolf didn't look dead, his chest was still slightly undulating, and he seemed to have a breath left, but his condition was very, very bad, so bad that Shen Shi's face faintly showed signs of gritting his teeth and twisting.

In front of his eyes, the arms and limbs of the mountain wolf had obvious twisted marks at the joints, as if they had been broken by someone, and several rough but sharp wooden sticks that he didn't know where to find directly pierced the body of this demon clan and nailed him to this desolate land.

On his body, there were countless wounds, large and small, and blood flowed all over the ground between the skin and flesh, staining the surrounding places, and it seemed that all the blood in his body had been drained, and on his completely bloodless face, on the head of the wolf, which looked a little hideous, his eyes were bloody and blurred, and the two eyes seemed to have been gouged out.

Shen Shi suddenly felt a dullness in his chest, as if he couldn't breathe suddenly, and at that moment, the memory that he had been deeply pressed in his heart and didn't dare to recall suddenly came back to his heart. Returning to the Yuan Realm, Lizard Forest, the old white monkey who used to drink with him, before he died, seemed to have a strong bloody aura, and instantly appeared in front of his eyes.

There was a parchment in his throat, as if a fire had suddenly burst into flames, and his whole body was trembling.

He slowly stretched out his hand to touch the head of the mountain wolf, and beside him, Xiao Hei seemed to be silent, staring at this demon clan without saying a word, I don't know if he also remembered the past.

As his fingers were about to touch the wolf's face, suddenly, a low howl like a beast burst out from the wolf's mouth, but it was obviously weak, like the wail of a desperate beast before death, but with a little madness.

Shen Shi's hand paused, stopped in mid-air, and then said softly: "Mountain wolf, it's me, I'm the stone." ”

The wolf head of the mountain wolf seemed to pause for a moment, and he seemed to have some reaction to this sentence in great pain after losing his eyes, and slowly turned his head sideways and turned to the direction of Shen Shi.

The flesh-and-blood eye sockets without eyeballs still seemed to be staring at him.

Shen Shi took a deep breath, slowed down his voice as much as possible, and said, "Mountain wolf, I'm a stone, what's going on......"

"Roaring ......"

Before the words fell, the mountain wolf suddenly seemed to be suddenly stimulated by something, and let out a heart-rending roar in his mouth, revealing the sharp teeth in his mouth at Shen Shi, and roared wildly. His countenance was so distorted, the hatred seemed to burn from every part of his body, he was like a beast in madness, trying to bite the person in front of him without hesitation, even if it was to die together.
