"Old Hei, do you have any suggestions?"
Although the murmur of the black glasses was very soft, it was still caught by Chen Ziyan, who had been paying attention to him.
In fact, the only person who can really give a reliable answer now is Black Glasses. After all, he is a real expert in mountain spirits and wild monsters.
As if he didn't hear Chen Ziyan's inquiry, Black Glasses still frowned, immersed in his thoughts.
When Wang Kaixuan saw this, he wanted to say something. His character was destined to be impatient, but before he could put his thoughts into action, he was stopped by Hu Bayi, who was aware of it.
Hu Bayi gave the idiot a hard look, causing him to instantly extinguish the little thought that had just arisen in his heart.
Hu Bayi can somewhat understand the current state of Black Glasses. He sometimes thinks too much and is too involved in things. He also knows that at this time, there is no need to rush. It is better to wait patiently than to rush.
The black glasses didn't keep them waiting for long. This lasted for about two minutes before they came out of the immersive state.
He first said sorry to Chen Ziyan, then looked up at the sky, and then said slowly:
"Although I have never personally experienced the manipulation of celestial phenomena, I have heard people mention it a few times..."
After a pause, he asked: "By the way, you must have heard the legend about the dragon making trouble and carrying it with it at every turn, right?"
"I've heard some." Chen Ziyan nodded.
Hearing this, Black Glasses organized his words: "Actually, in the world of monsters, dragon is a very general concept. Basically, all water monsters that have become weathered can be given the name of dragon. Some of these spirits with extraordinary talents or advanced skills have the ability to control local celestial phenomena."
Monsters in the water...
After hearing what Black Glasses said, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but think of the Iron-Headed Dragon King in the Yellow River. Every time this thing appeared, it was always stormy, which was undoubtedly in line with the above statement.
"But... what I can't figure out is how could any wolf have similar abilities."
However, Chen Ziyan was not given much time to recall. The words with strong doubts under the black glasses successfully attracted his attention.
This was also the reason why Black Glasses was sluggish before, because as far as he knew among the wolf spirits, there really was no ability like what he encountered this time.
The ability to control the wind and snow and provide all-round blessings to the same kind is unparalleled to some extent!
He could already imagine what such a wolf pack would be like in an era without thermal weapons.
"Who says it isn't? If the wolf had such ability, how could it still be nesting here? It would have gone back to the grassland to show off its power." Wang Kaixuan also nodded frequently.
Hearing Wang Kaixuan's words, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but grin. He had the answer.
"Then you think too highly of these wolves. Not to mention that they have this kind of ability. It doesn't matter how many times they are stronger. As far as I know, these guys were driven from the grasslands to the snowy mountains."
Wang Kaixuan laughed: "It seems that the most powerful ones are people."
Chen Ziyan also understood the idea of black glasses at this time, and said to him seriously:
"Old Hei, it's good to have previous experience as a reference, but you shouldn't rely too much on it. Things are always unpredictable. Maybe it's because of the unique terrain and environment here, or maybe it's because of the special type of wolves living here. You have to know that everything is there. Possibly, existence is reasonable.”
"What Mr. Chen said is reasonable. We must listen to the experience of our predecessors, but we cannot blindly follow everything. We still have to experience many things personally before we know what is going on." Hu Bayi also agreed.
He knew that this was a stress reaction when his inherent concepts were challenged, and as long as he figured it out, he would be fine.
"Haha!" Black Glasses laughed: "Well, I asked you two to teach me a lesson today. This trip is really worth it."
Hearing his words, the others also laughed, because the somewhat dull atmosphere of the wolf attack also disappeared at this moment.
"Let's go back first."
When the laughter subsided, Chen Ziyan looked around and said.
Although the wolves have retreated now, no one knows where those guys are. The wind and snow show no signs of weakening now. Maybe the wolf king is nearby, planning the next attack.
Now that some discoveries have been made, there is no need to stay here anymore. It is always right to be careful in everything.
"Hey, you said, this giant wolf has been killed by us so many times, so it shouldn't come again, right?" On the way back, Wang Kaixuan asked with some confusion.
Although the actual results they achieved were not as good as expected, even so, it was a loss that could not be ignored for the wolves.
According to Wang Kaixuan's understanding of creatures like wolves, it is engraved in his bones that Yaju will retaliate, so it is basically impossible to give up, especially if the Wolf King is fine, he will definitely continue to attack them.
But this level of attack should have already hurt the wolves, and the next step should be a sneak attack and a surprise attack. There is no reason to carry out a suicide attack like just now.
"This is true if it is an ordinary wolf, but the demon wolf we encountered is not ordinary. It is very likely that it is the descendant of the demon slaves of the original demon country, so it cannot be treated with common sense." Shirley Yang answered his question this problem.
"Descendants of demon slaves?"
As soon as Hu Ba heard this word, the figure of the white-haired wolf king immediately flashed in his mind.
"According to the incomplete records, the demon wolf is the demon slave of the demon kingdom. Although the demon kingdom has disappeared for a long time, the ancient contract signed by the two parties has probably not expired, so the demon wolf carrying the ancient oath is still guarding This holy land.”
"Under such circumstances, I feel that as long as we don't leave for a day, the wolf pack attacks will not stop."
Shirley Yang told the information she got from the information.
At this time, Hu Bayi thought of the huge wolf skin and wall carvings he had seen in the Great Phoenix Temple, and knew that Shirley Yang was probably right.
At the same time, he once again thought of the white-haired wolf king he had met before. He had a hunch that he would probably meet this mortal enemy again this time, and the grievances that had lasted for many years would come to an end.
Thinking of this, Hu Bayi looked back at the snowy sky and secretly made a decision in his heart.
This time...he must peel off the old wolf's skin!
Although Ding Sitian disguised himself as Gema, which means that the original injury was not that serious, the injuries Ding Sitian suffered at that time cannot be faked at all, not to mention his comrades who died as a result.
It would be fine if he didn't meet him, but if he met the white-haired wolf king again, he would have to avenge him, otherwise his thoughts would be blocked.
After returning to the fortification, Chen Ziyan sealed the door again and said:
"If our conjecture is correct, it means that the combat effectiveness of wolves in wind and snow may increase exponentially, which is not a good thing for us."
This is a no-brainer.
If the overall quality of the giant wolves had not been improved, given their firepower, none of the giant wolves that tried to attack the fortifications before would have left alive.
"We really don't have a good way to deal with this." Shirley Yang thought for a while and shook her head slightly: "The wolves are not restricted and can move their positions at any time. This alone makes it difficult for us to lock each other, and we The advantage is that we have fortifications, so we can focus on attacking when we get close, which undoubtedly limits our ability to move."
She knew very well that the defenses were indispensable for the overwhelming advantage this time. If the battle really took place in an open area, then based on the strength shown by the wolves at that time, it would be hard to tell who would win in the end. Easy to say.
"In this case, let's deal with the ever-changing situation by remaining unchanged, and we'll talk about the rest after dawn." Chen Ziyan agreed.
Now that all circumstances do not allow them to do anything more, it is better to take this opportunity to take a rest. Anyway, they are the dominant side now, and it will not be too late to wait until the sun comes out tomorrow to talk about other things.
"Will the wolves come again tonight?" Hu Ba said, half worried and half expectant.
The worry is that the attack of wolves will be dangerous after all.
And the expectation... I simply want to meet the White-haired Wolf King as soon as possible.
Use one word to describe Hu Bayi at this moment, that is... murderous intent is blazing!
"What if the wolves wait for us to come tomorrow when we are doing things?" Wang Kaixuan also expressed his thoughts.
Hu Bayi has already guessed the approximate location of the nine-story demon tower. There is no need to think that the next step of exploration will be carried out tomorrow, which is the so-called exploratory excavation.
But that would require them to leave the fortifications, and they would definitely not be vigilant enough when doing things. If the wolves attacked at that time, this would be a problem for them.
And based on Wang Kaixuan's understanding of creatures like wolves, this kind of thing is very likely to happen.
From the battle just now, we can see that if we encounter those giant wolves on the glacier without any cover, let’s not mention the final result, but the process will definitely not be wonderful.
"Fat man, sometimes you can look at things from another angle..." After hearing Wang Kaixuan's words, Chen Ziyan looked at the wind and snow outside that had begun to weaken, and said softly: "Just like this snow!"
If the snow situation had not changed, it would be difficult for him to say this, but now this change undoubtedly confirmed his suspicion from the side.
Black Glasses reacted the fastest. He immediately understood what Chen Ziyan meant and laughed: "Wonderful, this is not necessarily a bad thing."
Based on his understanding of those spirits, even those with more than a hundred or even hundreds of years of Taoism cannot use their innate abilities without restrictions.
Especially for special abilities that affect celestial phenomena like this, the duration and recovery time are definitely issues that cannot be ignored.
You must know that even spirits must abide by rules. Even if they cannot be quantified, it does not mean that they do not exist.
Moreover, Black Glasses also suspected that even if the wolf king hiding in the dark had the ability to control the celestial phenomena, the limitations of his race were there after all, and he would definitely consume more in this regard than the spirits born in the water.
This also means that the Wolf King needs a longer time to "return to blue". They can use this time to do things and quickly return to the fortifications as soon as there are signs of snow.
After all, the location of the nine-story demon building is not far from here, and they will be able to return to the fortifications soon.
As for whether things will develop as they thought, neither Black Glasses nor Chen Ziyan think this is a problem. Although the Wolf King's wisdom is not inferior to that of humans, it is not a human after all and must rely heavily on itself. Ability.
"After we find the exact location tomorrow, we will build a stronger defense there."
At this moment, Chen Ziyan suddenly said this.
At first, he had the same idea as Black Glasses, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was no need for them to gamble on this, and they could build another fortification on the spot.
With local materials available, building fortifications was not a big trouble for them.
More importantly, although the nine-story demon tower is not far away, the time they will stay here is still uncertain. If they can solve it in a day or two, that's fine, but if they can't return in a short time, they should build one. New fortifications were more suitable.
After hearing Chen Ziyan's words, the others were slightly stunned at first, but then they understood what he was thinking.
Although this seems a bit cumbersome, it is an appropriate and safe method.
In this way, even if the Wolf King did not activate the wind and snow, it would not be possible to sneak attack on them, which is equivalent to isolating a possible crisis in disguise.
At this moment, Shirley Yang glanced outside inadvertently, but just this look made her freeze there. After coming back to her senses, she quickly said:
"You guys, look at the corpses outside!"
Although Chen Ziyan and the others didn't know what happened, they looked outside immediately.
At this glance, they discovered that the giant wolf corpse outside had lost almost half of its body in the short time they entered the fortification.
But in an instant, Chen Ziyan thought of what was going on. While he was focusing on the wolves, he actually ignored another dangerous creature in the glacier.
Snow Maitreya!
This is a mysterious creature that even Chen Ziyan doesn't know much about.
Chen Ziyan only knew that Xue Maitreya was a parasitic creature, and the parasitized creature would undergo obvious changes, but it was not clear what Xue Maitreya looked like.
After thinking of Xue Maitreya, Chen Ziyan immediately looked at the surrounding ice and soon found a small ice hole not far away.
"This doesn't seem like something a wolf would do!"
Black Glasses immediately ruled out the suspicion of the wolf pack.
Although the wolves may recover the bodies of their companions, there is no doubt that they will never do so at this time.
"There is an ice hole over there. I think there should be a relationship between the two." Hu Bayi also saw the ice hole at this moment and said in a deep voice.
This is not surprising, after all, this ice cave suddenly appeared there, it would be really strange if it didn't matter.
