After leaving the county town, Ye Ming continued northward on his donkey root.
The temperature was getting lower and lower along the way, and it was so cold that it was unbearable. The night light didn't feel like it, but Maisui felt better after adding another layer of coat.
This season, food is scarce and the wolves in Chenzhou become active.
In broad daylight, traces of wolf activity could be seen from a distance on the hills in the distance. Lei Ling, who was in Mai Sui's arms, looked keenly in the direction of a hill.
"There is a wolf demon, and its cultivation level is very high."
Ye Ming nodded, not afraid, just said:
"It's okay, as long as he doesn't provoke us, I won't embarrass him."
There were many people who had frozen to death on the road, and wolves appeared and dragged these bodies away.
Ye Ming turned a blind eye to this and just rode on the donkey's roots.
Maisui looked at the corpse and pulled Ye Ming's sleeves with some fear, worried that she would be left behind.
By noon, Donkey Gen walked to an abandoned village. It seemed that no one was there, and all the villagers had fled.
Maisui was afraid that Ye Ming would abandon her, so she tried her best to make herself appear useful. She took the initiative to find a room that looked good, cleared up a place a few times, moved a chair for Ye Ming, asked Ye Ming to sit down, and put some money in her small backpack. He took out the already cold steamed buns and handed one to Ye Ming before starting to eat himself.
Ye Ming took the steamed bun and did not eat it. Instead, he put it on the table and leaned on the chair, as if he was resting with his eyes closed.
Maisui felt thirsty after eating the steamed buns. He walked outside the door in a few steps and grabbed a handful of snow to eat.
Lei Ling is just like an ordinary house cat, sleeping on the table, nothing special.
In the originally closed door of the inner room, a pair of eyes saw the uneaten buns on the table, and no one seemed to notice him.
A little girl gently opened the door to the inner room, approached the table cautiously, grabbed the steamed bun, and stuffed it into her mouth without caring about anything else.
When the little girl was choking, a small hand held a handful of snow and brought it to the little girl.
The little girl grabbed the snow and stuffed it into her mouth. It took her a long time to swallow the steamed bun, and she looked at Maisui with some fear.
Maisui looked at Ye Ming, who had woken up at some point and "looked" like the little girl.
The little girl also looked at Ye Ming, knowing that this was the one in charge, so she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ye Ming.
"May I have your name?"
Ye Ming asked with a half-smile.
"wild fruit."
The little girl was a little scared, her body was shaking, and she coughed from time to time.
Perhaps it was because the weather was too cold, and Ye Guo's clothes were very thin, and there were frostbites on his face, hands, and legs.
Ye Ming asked a few more questions, and Ye Guo told everything he knew.
All the food harvested by the people in their village in the autumn was confiscated by the government and bandits. Everyone could not survive, so they fled collectively.
Yeguo was young, in poor health, and was still an unwanted girl. She was abandoned by her family and left with only her two brothers.
"Reach over here."
Ye Guo didn't dare to resist, and obediently stretched out his hand to Ye Ming, still unable to help coughing softly.
Ye Ming took a pulse and knew that she had a lung disease. Coupled with being hungry and cold, if she hadn't met him, she would have died tonight at the latest.
"Want to live?"
Ye Guo nodded vigorously.
Ye Ming smiled and said:
"Become a child bride for my Maisui, and I will save you."
Ye Guo agreed without even thinking about it.
Maisui looked at Ye Ming in surprise. Although she was young, she also knew what "child bride" meant.
Never expected that Ye Ming would pull this off, and besides, she...
"Maisui, as a man, you must protect your wife in the future."
Ye Ming said to Maisui with a "serious look".
Maisui was startled and nodded.
All the fabrics and other useful things in the village were taken away by the villagers. Maisui walked around the village and couldn't find any fabric that could be used to dress the wild fruits, so he could only take off one piece of his coat and give it to the wild fruits. Put on the fruit.
Looking at the two children who were pale from the cold, Ye Ming shook his head and smiled, planning to take them to the next village or town to get some more clothes.
It's just that there are more people than the donkey can carry, so someone needs to walk.
But who is Ye Ming? How could he choose to walk?
I found some wooden boards in the village and spliced them together to make a simple cart and let the donkeys pull it.
In this way, three people and a cat can sit on it, it just takes a little hard work.
But it doesn't matter. Donkey Gen is an honest donkey, easy to bully and won't object.
After leaving the village and walking on the official road, wolves began to appear one after another on the mountain roads on both sides. These wolves stared directly at Ye Ming and his party.
Ye Guo was very scared when he saw so many wolves, and he was a little afraid to approach Ye Ming, so he subconsciously sought Mai Sui's protection.
Maisui was actually scared, and wanted to get closer to Ye Ming, but seeing Ye Guo looking at her, Mai Sui calmed down, put down Lei Ling in her arms, stretched out one hand to hold Ye Guo's cold little hand covered with frostbite, and held the other hand. Holding the white stone in one hand, he was ready to kill the wolf.
Lei Ling, who had been hugged for a long time, was suddenly put down. She was still a little unaccustomed to it. She subconsciously wanted to find someone to hold her. She looked at Ye Ming. Then she felt a chill and shook her head. She felt that she was really depraved for having such thoughts. .
Donkey Gen didn't seem to know what it meant to be afraid. Even though there were a group of wolves looking at him eagerly, Donkey Gen still walked forward calmly.
The wolves that had been observing Ye Ming's group for a while finally launched an attack. After one wolf rushed out, the pack of wolves attacked.
Maisui was so nervous that she threw the stone in her hand at a wolf.
A wolf whined and was hit on the head by a stone. The skull was shattered on the spot, and the running body fell directly into the snow.
Although the stone is powerful, it can only defeat one wolf at a time, but there are dozens of wolves surrounding it.
A wolf rushed to the donkey cart first and was about to bite Ye Ming's neck off.
Ye Ming just shook the bamboo stick in his hand and knocked the wolf away.
The same was true for the wolves that came after them, unable to get close to the donkey cart.
Maisui kept throwing stones, killing and maiming several wolves.
These wolves are also somewhat intelligent. They know that when they encounter a being that they cannot deal with, they retreat one after another, but they do not retreat and surround them without attacking.
Seeing how powerful Mai Sui was, Ye Guo felt relieved. He hugged Mai Sui's waist and nervously looked at the wolves who were not ready to retreat.
I don't know which wolf screamed first, and the group of wolves began to howl one after another.
After a while, I saw the sound of wolves howling from deep in the forest.
After a while, the group of wolves separated, and more than a dozen wolf monsters with wolf heads and human bodies appeared on the top of the mountain.
A wolf said something to the wolf demon at the front. The wolf demon nodded, waved the mace in his hand, looked at Xiiling, and then looked at Ye Ming:
"The king has an order. No matter who dares to hurt my descendants of the wolf tribe, they will have to pay the price. I advise you to surrender immediately. For the sake of the monster tribe here, maybe our king will give you a lighter sentence! "
Seeing the appearance of these little demons with low cultivation level, Ye Ming felt a little funny:
"This is the official way. I am walking this way, and it is fair and aboveboard. Your Majesty's control is too lenient."
"This area is all under our control. Even your human government has been requiring you to pay tolls since last month. How can you be an exception?"
The little demon was very arrogant, and the other little demons around him also started cheering.
Ye Ming didn't want to say anything more, so he held Lei Ling by the scruff of his neck and was about to throw Lei Ling out to deal with these little monsters.
Lei Ling was very dissatisfied with Ye Ming's actions. When she was about to take care of these little demons after being thrown out, she saw Ye Ming suddenly retracted his hand and held her in his arms.
Lei Ling felt strange. Just when she was about to ask, she suddenly felt a terrifying murderous aura coming over her.
"A bunch of lowly beasts, how dare you hurt lives and collect tolls from the government, you are really determined to die!"
A man's voice contained an extremely terrifying aura.
The little demons who were laughing arrogantly just now were immediately restrained by this terrifying aura.
Lei Ling looked over there and saw a figure walking with a sword in the sky in the distance.
It was a man who looked to be in his twenties, with a bun, his face was clear-cut and sharp, and he had a jealous temper.
This man appeared in the air and looked at the group of little monsters on the top of the mountain. Without saying a word, he raised his left hand, the lightning in his hand flashed, and a thunderbolt hit the group of little monsters.
"ah!!!"
A group of little demons screamed, and they were all killed by this man's blow.
Not only did he kill a group of little monsters, he also killed a group of ordinary wild wolves.
"Thunder in the Palm, this is the Five Thunder Technique!?"
Lei Ling was shocked, and the hairs all over her body stood on end.
"Could it be Zhengxuanmen..."
After killing a group of little demons with one blow, the Taoist's expression did not change at all and he looked towards the mountains in the distance.
A shocking wolf howl came from the mountains, followed by a man's voice:
"Are you from the Zhengxuan Sect? The boundary here is within the boundary between me and the local city god. If you act like this, are you openly violating the contract?"
The man just said coldly to the Wolf King's words:
"Qing Yimen Wei Linzi, come to take your life!"
After saying that, the man who called himself Wei Linzi held a flying sword, flew against the wind, and entered the depths of the mountain.
"Clear one door!?"
The Wolf King was shocked, and there was a huge sound of fighting in the mountains.
Lei Ling was also surprised. She didn't expect to meet a member of the sect who regarded all non-human species as aliens.
The mountains were filled with sword energy and magical power. You could hear the Wolf King screaming from time to time. He must have been beaten so hard that he couldn't resist.
"Ouch~~~"
After a long roar, a giant wolf that grew in size suddenly appeared in the mountains.
The wolf became as big as a small mountain, with black and gray hair all over its body like spears, and its sharp teeth and claws were terrifying.
But at this time, the giant wolf was in a very embarrassed state, with many scars on its body, all of which seemed to have been injured by the sword energy. It was dripping with blood and looked miserable.
The giant wolf king raised his sharp claws and grabbed Wei Linzi.
But there was a flash of lightning on Wei Linzi's body, and he disappeared directly from the spot and appeared high in the sky, looking down at the giant wolf.
"Evil beast, seeking death!"
Wei Linzi said without emotion, thunder gathered in his hands,
"Heartfire Thunder!"
The thunder in the palm burned like fire, and the power of thunder and fire fell like rain.
The giant wolf's body was boiling with evil energy, and he tried to resist it, but it was useless. He was hit by thunder and fire, and his whole body was withered.
Every time it was hit, the giant wolf's body couldn't help but tremble, and it looked extremely painful.
After the thunder and fire, the giant wolf was beaten to the point where it was difficult to stand up, and there were injuries everywhere on his body.
Seeing this, Wei Linzi showed no mercy at all, and the thunder in his hand gathered again.
"Lung Gold Thunder!"
The thunder turned into a sharp and domineering spear and shot away, directly piercing the giant wolf's head.
The giant wolf roared in despair, fell to the ground unwillingly and lost its life, and quickly returned to its normal size.
After killing the Wolf King, Wei Linzi took off a mirror from his waist and put the Wolf King's body inside.
But this was not the end. Wei Linzi looked at the wolves all over the mountain and activated the thunder in his hand again, including these ordinary wolves that were not monsters yet.
Under his slaughter, the wolves in the entire mountain range were almost extinct, and only a few lucky wolves escaped.
Wei Linzi, who had killed all the wolves, nodded slightly. He thought he was going to leave, but the next moment, he walked against the wind and appeared on the top of the tree opposite Ye Ming, looking into Ye Ming's arms with cold eyes. Hugging Ling Ling!
