Everyone felt very tired after this journey. After eating, they slept in the tents set up by the lake.
Master Kongkong, Zhang Lingtian and Lu Bucai took turns to watch the night. This night, it was Master Zhang Lingtian's turn.
Master Zhang sat down cross-legged on a stone outside the tent, looking for luck while listening carefully to the movements around him. Suddenly, he heard a howl of a wild wolf in the distance, followed by another.
In the northwest, wild wolves appear. It is not surprising to encounter a pack of wolves. After the wild wolves barked seven or eight times, they made no sound. They may have run away. Master Zhang did not care and continued to practice with his eyes closed.
About a quarter of an hour later, Master Zhang suddenly smelled a fishy smell. He opened his eyes to check and found that more than ten feet away from him, seven or eight green eyes were shining ghostly in the moonlight, staring at him. Watch for yourself.
Zhang Lingtian turned around to check and was shocked when he saw green eyes staring at him all around. He wondered how the wolves could come so silently without him noticing.
Zhang Lingtian had no worries about dealing with wild wolves, but he could not let the wild wolves disturb others from resting. So, he stood up, raised his breath, and flew towards the wild wolves in the east.
The seven or eight wild wolves in the east did not expect that the person in front of them would rush towards them. They were startled and turned around and ran back. But after running a few feet away, they found that Zhang Lingtian was not chasing them, so they lowered their heads and crawled tentatively. He pushed towards Zhang Lingtian step by step.
The wild wolves on the other three sides saw Zhang Lingtian heading east. After a moment's hesitation, they passed through the tent and surrounded Master Zhang.
Zhang Lingtian saw that he was tens of feet away from the tent, and making any noise would not affect everyone's sleep, so he stood there, waiting for the wolves to rush up and eliminate them all.
At this time, the moon had risen, and the scene in the distance could be seen. Zhang Lingtian looked around and counted, and found that there were about fifty wild wolves. There are also wolves in Zhongnan Mountain, but there are only about a dozen wolves there, and they are particularly afraid of people. As long as they are shouted at, they will be frightened and run away. But the wolves here obviously rely on the strength of their numbers and are not afraid of people at all. .
The wolves did not launch an attack, but formed a circle about seven or eight feet away from Zhang Lingtian, staring at Zhang Lingtian, not knowing what they were waiting for.
Suddenly, a giant wolf walked out from the pack, which was twice as big as an average wolf. He held his head high, and his huge eyes were like two fiery red lanterns, staring at Zhang Lingtian closely, and he stepped forward step by step.
Zhang Lingtian knew that the giant wolf in front of him was the wolf king of this group of wolves. As long as he killed the wolf king, the wolves would definitely disperse. This also saved him from killing a lot of animals, but he had to do it immediately, otherwise, the wolves would be destroyed. If the king charges, the wolves will pounce on him. At that time, there will be no possibility for the wolves to retreat.
Zhang Lingtian thought of this, raised his hand, and slapped the Wolf King from a distance. The Wolf King was unprepared and was hit by Zhang Lingtian's palm. He jumped up high and flew back more than ten feet. Then he fell to the ground and died without even a grunt.
The surrounding wolves saw the Wolf King flying back, and they all gathered around the Wolf King, only to find that the Wolf King was lying motionless on the ground. The wolves first circled around the Wolf King, and then they saw five or six strong male wolves, dragging him behind. Following the Wolf King, the wolves followed closely behind, retreating toward the mountains in the distance.
Seeing the wolves retreating, Zhang Lingtian walked back to the tent and found that the more than ten horses were not frightened by the wolves at all. They were still standing quietly in the wild scenery. They were just the leftovers they had eaten during the day. The prey they had caught before had been secretly stolen by the wolves. Take it away.
Zhang Lingtian sighed helplessly, thinking silently, he really cares about one thing at the expense of the other, and he really needs to be more careful when fighting a wolf.
It was still early before dawn, so Zhang Lingtian sat cross-legged on the same stone again, closed his eyes and meditated.
After half an hour, Zhang Lingtian finished a round of inner energy, stood up, and wanted to walk around, but found that under the moonlight, there were green eyes staring at him not far away.
Zhang Lingtian looked around again and saw green eyes all around. This time, there were more wolves than before, probably more than a hundred. It was obvious that the wolves must have come out in full force to take revenge.
This time, Zhang Lingtian did not dare to be careless and shouted loudly, "The wolf is coming, everyone, get up quickly."
Just as everyone was awakened by Zhang Lingtian's cry, the wolves launched an attack. They howled and rushed forward. Some surrounded Zhang Lingtian, some bit the horses, and some tore the tent apart with their mouths.
Zhang Lingtian was afraid of accidentally hurting others, so he didn't dare to use his palm. He only used his finger power to point one head at a time to kill the wolves that were rushing towards him. After a while, he had killed more than ten of them.
When the experts heard the noise, they quickly left the tent and killed the wild wolves with Zhang Lingtian.
The moon had just set and the sun had not yet risen. It was pitch black all around. The wild wolf could see people, but the experts couldn't see the wolf clearly. They could only rely on their feelings to point and punch, but they were worried about hurting the people next to them, so they kept shrinking. After a quarter of an hour, the wild wolf made no sound.
It turns out that the wild wolves are quite intelligent, and when they saw the Wolf King being beaten to death, they naturally wanted to take revenge. So, they went out in full force and chose a time when the moon had set and there was still some darkness before sunrise to attack. This made Zhang Lingtian greatly surprised and regretted it. The wolves had not been maimed before so that they could not organize themselves and did not retaliate.
When the sun was about to rise, the surrounding area suddenly lit up. Everyone discovered that Luo Lin and Fo'er were bitten by a wolf. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious. Master Xuyun asked Yi'er to find trauma medicine for the two of them. After applying it, although the other masters were not bitten by the wolf, they still consumed a lot of energy.
What was pitiful was that all the more than ten horses were mauled to death by the wolves. Their internal organs were ruptured, their eyes were wide open, and blood flowed everywhere.
Zhu Yu, Lan Ling'er and Lan Tian counted the dead wild wolves underground and found that there were one hundred and twelve.
Everyone buried the dead horses and wolves, loaded up their packed luggage, and started on their way.
After this accident, the experts became more careful. Everyone knew that in the vast and sparsely populated Western Region, in addition to wild wolves, there were also tigers and leopards that would attack people, so they must be on guard.
"In addition to wild beasts, we will also encounter swamps and snow-capped mountains along the way. Everyone knows Qinggong, so the swamps will not trouble us, but the snow-capped mountains are different. If you stay on the snow-capped mountains for a long time, you may get frozen, and you may encounter encounters while traveling on the mountainside of the snow-capped mountains. Xuebeng." Master Kongkong said as he walked.
"Avalanche? Will the snow on the mountain collapse?" Lan Ling'er asked Master Kongkong.
"Of course it will, and its destructive power is extremely powerful. Once, I saw it on the way to the Western Regions. A caravan of hundreds of people encountered Xue Beng, and only three people escaped."
"Why is the avalanche so powerful? Master Kongkong, can we avoid the avalanche?" Lingyazi asked.
"We try to avoid the snow-capped mountains as much as possible. If we can't avoid it, we just walk along the ridge. If we can't walk on the ridge, we go away from the snow-covered slopes." Master Kongkong has seen the disasters caused by snow bungs and has a lot to say about snow-capped mountains. Awe.
Everyone had no horse-drawn items, which added to the burden. In one morning, they only walked about fifty miles, but what was even more troublesome was that a huge snow-capped mountain appeared in front of them.
Master Kongkong observed the snow-capped mountains for a while and found that if he took a detour, he might have to walk many days longer, and there was no reason to detour around the snow-capped mountains at his feet. It seemed that the only option was to climb the mountain.
In Tianlong Mountain, Zhu Yu, Lan Linger, Lan Tian, and Luo Lin will see snow every year. Moreover, the snow on the top of Tianlong Mountain will not melt away until May of the next year, but there is only a small amount of snow on the top of the mountain. There is snow everywhere. I have never seen such a large snow-capped mountain before, and I can’t help but be amazed.
"It's so beautiful!" Lan Ling'er couldn't help but say.
"You'll know if it's beautiful or not when you go up there and walk around." Master Xuyun said with a smile.
"I think we should take a rest here, catch a few wild animals, have a good meal, and then bring some barbecue up the mountain, just in case the mountain is too big to climb over at once." Lingshanzi has been to the Western Regions and climbed many times. Snowy mountains, some experience.
After hearing what Lingshanzi said, Zhu Yu immediately waved to Lan Tian, gesturing to hunt wild beasts, but Lu Bucai said: "I have found a sambar deer grazing by a river more than 200 feet away. Zhu Yu , we went to beat him first, and then everyone came over and grilled him by the river."
After Lu Bucai finished speaking, he raised his energy and flew towards the foot of the mountain. Not to be outdone, Zhu Yu also raised his energy and followed Lu Bucai.
After walking more than two hundred feet towards the snow-capped mountains, they saw a small river. Lu Bucai and Zhu Yu had disemboweled a sambar deer weighing more than 200 kilograms, and were cutting the meat one by one and drying it by the river.
