Batou Town is a city not far from the plain where the gray fog wall is located.
Back against a low hill.
A silver-white river meanders through the foot of the earth mountain.
There are only a dozen muddy streets in the whole town, with a radius of only a few miles and a population of only a few thousand.
It's dusk.
Accompanied by a loud noise of "Bang!"
The bamboo walls that towered over the outskirts of Batou Town were torn, and foul-smelling air poured in from the holes in the walls.
The cold wind howled.
Immediately, layers of fine frost appeared on people's foreheads covered with cold sweat.
"Gudong!"
Wu Shi was wearing a thick leather jacket and a wool hat. His face was rough, and there were three bloody scars on his left cheek.
He looked about thirty or forty years old.
When he was younger, he was known as the best hunter in Batou Town.
Later, when he was a little older and his hunting skills became more proficient, he no longer regarded as a hunter, but became the captain of the guard in the town.
but now.
Even for a seasoned fighter like him.
When I saw the giant wolves that were one head taller than adults even if they were crawling on the ground, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.
A black-haired giant wolf slowly walked over from outside the bamboo wall.
He didn't seem to be in a hurry, and even the blood-colored pupils revealed a cruel elegance that belonged to hunters.
Thick foot pads stepped on the snow.
Make a rhythmic "rustling" sound.
"laugh!"
Viscous saliva fell down the sharp fangs, and white smoke suddenly rose from the snow.
"Quick! Quick!"
Wu Shi staggered up from the ground and drew out the iron sword pinned to his belt.
While waving the sharp blade in his hand, he took this opportunity to come not far away and help his companion who had fallen to the ground.
"Run! Ring the bell and tell the news to the people in the village, let them leave quickly..."
The guard next to him was also wearing a thick leather coat, and under a wool hat was a young pale face.
Hearing Wu Shi's call.
The young man subconsciously got up from the ground, and ran towards the village along the path, staggering a little.
"call!"
Wu Shi breathed a sigh of relief just now, and exhaled a puff of white smoke from his mouth.
But immediately, his pupils contracted, and the masseter muscles on both sides of his cheeks spasmed out of anger and fear.
I saw a trace of playfulness in the pupils of the giant wolf in front of him.
in the next moment.
Its figure disappeared suddenly, as fast as the wind.
Even a seasoned hunter like Wu Shi could hardly see the giant wolf's movements clearly.
I just saw a gray shadow flashing past in front of my eyes.
The giant wolf that seemed to be the leader had already appeared behind the young man in charge of reporting, raised its sharp giant claws, and slammed it down on the ground.
"Wolf demon!"
Wu Shi's heart sank suddenly.
He finally realized that this attack was not accidental, but a massacre after careful planning!
"hiss…"
A proud neigh came from the wolf demon's mouth.
It rolled up its sharp claws, grabbed the young man by the waist, and opened its mouth wide, its sharp fangs gleaming coldly in the winter sun.
The young guard was about to be torn in two.
However, in the next moment.
"Shua!"
A sharp sword light seemed to come from outside the sky, as fast as a stream of light, across the wolf demon's neck.
The wolf demon blinked.
It wasn't until its head fell from its neck and fell into the snow, hot blood spurted out, and there was a look of horror in those scarlet eyeballs.
"Woo~ woo~"
The wolves howled together.
The intelligence of these giant wolves is not inferior to that of adults.
Seeing the tragic death of their leader at this moment, they all turned around and began to retreat from the town.
But alas.
These wolf monsters escaped faster than Jian Guang, and their heads were beheaded one by one, and they fell to the ground.
"ha!"
Wu Shi regained his life, and finally came to his senses.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sword light, only to see a girl in a white skirt gently falling from the air.
The girl looked very young, but she was extremely beautiful.
The color and style of the clothes on his body are very simple, but the texture is extremely delicate, and I don't know what kind of precious materials they are made of.
"Thank you Fairy for saving me!"
He knew that he had met a passing expert.
He quickly looked away, lowered his head, and came to Jiang Zirou to salute seriously.
"It's just a little effort..." Jiang Zirou's eyes flicked over the wolf demon's body.
After coming to the new world, she realized that this world was far more cruel than she had imagined.
On the way, I passed three or four human cities.
Every room is empty, hungry and dead everywhere, and there is no chance to find someone to ask for directions.
If it weren't for Jiang Zirou's strong spiritual sense, she would have thought that she had come to the wasteland after the doomsday.
It is not easy to come across a place that is still inhabited in this remote and desolate place now. I never thought that I would encounter such a thing.
Fortunately, I came a step earlier... She blinked and asked the man in front of her:
"What's the name of this town?"
"My lord... this is Batou Town!" The middle-aged man said respectfully. .
"Batou Town..."
Jiang Zirou opened the map and rummaged through it carefully for a while. It is estimated that this town is too small, so it did not appear on Jin Jiucang's map.
The girl's cheeks puffed up, and she hummed softly.
Looks exasperated, very cute...
What a broken map... Jiang Zirou thought sullenly, the approximate location on this map is recorded, but there are not many records about the cities of the human race.
After some research, Jiang Zirou could only find a general direction.
While walking, he questioned carefully in the cities encountered on the road.
It's a pity that I wasted two or three days in vain, but I didn't gain much.
"Then do you know where the Angu Mountain City is?" Jiang Zirou asked casually, without having too much expectation.
"Angu Mountain City?"
Wu Shi's face showed serious thinking, he pondered for a while, and said: "Don't tell me, I really know this."
"Follow the small river in front of the earth mountain and go upstream, about three or four hundred miles away, you will find Angu Mountain. Angu Mountain City is at the foot of that mountain. It used to be a very prosperous city and village nearby. There are often people who transport the special products from the mountains to the city to sell."
"Before?" Jiang Zirou asked.
"Yes, it was before."
The middle-aged man showed helpless sadness on his face, and he slowly explained:
"The backside of Angu Mountain is the territory of the Canglang tribe. According to legend, the emperor of the Canglang tribe is a strong man at the peak of a saint, and he has become stronger and stronger in recent years... The Canglang tribe borders the territory of the human race, and friction often breaks out , once the wolf emperor breaks through..."
"I see."
Jiang Zirou nodded and understood immediately.
She thought of the two wolf demons who died in her hands a few days ago, and couldn't help asking:
"It's still some distance away from the Canglang tribe. Do attacks like today happen very often?"
"Of course not."
Wu Shi hurriedly shook his head, "As long as this kind of disaster happens once or twice, this town will be gone. In fact, I'm also very puzzled..."
Jiang Zirou looked around.
The person in front of him is not lying, there are no warriors in the town, at best they are ordinary people with slightly stronger bodies.
"Can't you practice?"
Jiang Zirou asked a little puzzled.
In Great Xia, even in the previous troubled times.
Some low-level martial arts practice methods are still widely circulated, not to mention the current martial arts academy that is being vigorously built.
basically.
As long as you have passed the basics and want to practice martial arts, you will have the opportunity to step into this threshold.
"Xi Wu!?"
Wu Shi's face turned pale: "Of course I thought about it. When I was young, I also met those warriors from the great sect who traveled down the mountain. They also said that I have a good foundation."
"well…"
He couldn't help sighing again, and looked at Jiang Zirou with envy:
"Those martial arts methods are firmly controlled by Da Zongmen. We ordinary people, no matter how talented we are, have no chance."
Already in a weak position, and the views of sects are so important, no wonder the human race in the new world will be so weak...
Jiang Zirou sighed in his heart, "Then, let's just say goodbye."
"Thank you girl for saving me this time!"
Wu Shi bowed to the end and thanked him again.
He raised his head, and the sunlight pierced through the white clouds and fell on the snow where the girl had just stood.
Jiang Zirou's figure disappeared.
"It's really a fairy-like ability..." He muttered to himself.
Turn around and leave, going to call the villagers to come out and clean up the corpses of these wolf demons.
Although wolf meat is fat, it is not delicious.
But the people in the village don't mind these things. Food is hard-won, and nothing should be wasted.
"sand!"
He stopped, feeling as if he was stepping on something.
looked down.
Suddenly, he found that under his feet, in the snow, a thin yellow booklet was glowing faintly in the sun.
He gasped for breath, and then became heavy.
Slowly bending down, he picked up the thin booklet on the snow.
This is obviously just an ordinary book.
But in the hand, it seems to weigh ten thousand catties.
He gently wiped off the snow on the book, and opened it page by page.
Gradually.
There was light in the eyes of this already numb middle-aged man.
…
Before dusk comes.
Came to Angu Mountain City very smoothly.
It was a big city with blue-gray walls, and there were dilapidated and messy buildings in the city.
Looking from a distance, this city gave Jiang Zirou a feeling, like an old man in the dark and sun-drenched.
Although the city is dilapidated.
But there are quite a few people inside, busy in the city like tiny ants.
The yellowed face was full of numbness.
Jiang Zirou watched the distant sky quietly for a while, waiting until the system prompt appeared in front of him.
Only then did I confirm that I didn't find the wrong place this time.
One step forward.
The slender figure of the girl disappeared into the twilight city in the blink of an eye.
