Chapter 108: Wind of Night City

Views:

Compared with the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the desert does not appear to be so lively. There are thousands of miles of bare land, and there seem to be not many living things. But the merchants who have traded with the Fuyi Dynasty outside the Great Wall all know that in the desert, the danger does not only come from the sky full of wind and sand and moving sand dunes.

There are far too many living creatures here, and they are extremely vicious.

Living in this hell on earth has never been an easy task.

The camel caravan traveling in the desert is always the least willing to encounter a pack of wolves. The wolves in the desert have the mutant blood of the "Huang" beast, and are more difficult to deal with than the wolves in other places. If the caravans are rich, they often have to hire one or two immortal cultivators to guard them. If the small caravan of a small caravan encounters a pack of wolves, they can only consider themselves unlucky.

Sand wolf, this kind of wolf with the blood of alien beasts is cunning and cold by nature, and bears revenge.

A caravan once injured a sand wolf in Guazhou. When they came to Guazhou ten years later, they were surrounded by that wolf and its pack.

Ye Qiusheng discovered the trail of the wolves after the wind direction changed.

In the ghost town of Guazhou, it seems calm, but there are actually other beasts coming in to escape the sandstorm. The pack of wolves should have entered the ghost town to hide and hunt. This group of guys known as "treacherous" did not know when they came here. All the way downwind.

Ye Qiusheng's perception dropped greatly after his cultivation base was sealed, and these wolves with "barren" blood seemed to have a strong ability to hide. If it weren't for the change of wind direction, Ye Qiusheng might have found them later.

"It's really a tiger in Pingyang being bullied by a dog. Do you want to come up and step on all kinds of miscellaneous things?"

Ye Qiusheng sighed and looked out of the cave.

Pairs of green eyes emerged from the shadow of the giant rock, like will-o'-the-wisps falling in the dark. It was so vague that it was unclear how many wolves there were.

Ye Qiusheng put Baili Shu in place, and Mao Yao got out of the cave. He pulled out the knife and held it in his hand.

Seeing Ye Qiusheng come out of the cave by himself, the wolves seemed to know that their tracks had been exposed, and came out of their hiding places one by one. These wolves living in the desert are small in size, lean and lean, and they all look like starving ghosts, so their fangs are particularly pale.

Ye Qiusheng turned the knife.

If a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by a dog, it depends on the tiger and the dog.

What's more, Ye Qiusheng is a person who is used to risking his life.

What he cared about was not the wolves, but some legends about the ghost town of Guazhou that he thought of after seeing the wolves.

The thin sand wolves leaned down, showing their fangs, one by one, all eyes focused on Ye Qiusheng. The next moment, a wolf that was bigger than the other sand wolves stood on the side, raised its neck, and let out a deep wolf howl from the depths of its throat.

The moment the head wolf gave the order to attack, the pack of wolves surrounded in a semi-arc began to attack one after another.

This is a group of well-coordinated desert wolves, and they have different divisions of labor when attacking. There were those who leapt high and rushed straight at Ye Qiusheng's face, some who sprinted close to the ground to restrain Ye Qiusheng's movements, and some who made a sneak attack from the side... It was like a well-trained army.

Ye Qiusheng turned his wrist.

When his knife did not activate the phantom of the horned dragon in it with blood essence, it was just a short blade, not long.

The ancient blade with jagged edges made a semicircular arc in mid-air. Ye Qiusheng let the sand wolf that was rushing straight at his face pounce on him all the way. It touched the neck of the sand wolf that was coming close to the ground. With his short stature, the sand wolf jumped over his head, and his fangs almost passed the top of Ye Qiusheng's head.

Behind Ye Qiusheng, a fire piled up in front of the cave entrance. When he came out, he kicked the fire piles apart and spread them all over the cave entrance for thousands of years.

The sand wolf jumped over its head, out of natural fear of fire, it didn't dare to jump directly into the cave to attack Bailishu, so it turned its head in mid-air, trying to bite Ye Qiusheng on the back of the neck.

But Ye Qiusheng's knife was faster than it.

When the sand wolf jumped by, Ye Qiusheng's saber light went from bottom to top, skimmed through the darkness, and cut the sand wolf's fragile throat directly from below.

When the blood spurted out, Ye Qiusheng had already turned around, and the light of the knife swept out in a circular arc, cutting straight at the wolf on the side, avoiding the warm and strong smell of blood.

It was obviously just a short knife, but when it danced in Ye Qiusheng's hand, it was a continuous light of the knife, everywhere, and the entire entrance of the cave was shrouded in snow-like light and shadow.

The light of the knife swayed like an ink painting on paper.

But every knife is extremely ruthless, with a sharp killing intent. With a knife, the life of a sand wolf will be taken away.

With his true energy sealed, Ye Qiusheng relied only on his own strength and the sharp evil spirit of the knife in his hand as an ancient blade. When he swung the knife, he intentionally vacated his life gate as a bait to lure those sand wolves close, and then attacked him. beheaded.

Behind Ye Qiusheng was the unconscious Bailishu. He had to guard the entrance of the cave and couldn't move half a step away, so he used this method of vacating his life gate to lure the wolves closer.

This is not something normal people do.

Only desperadoes have the courage to put their lives to death.

The wind in the ghost town of Guazhou was cold, the cries of ghosts mixed with the howls of wolves, the shadows of knives and blood splashed in the swaying firelight, and suddenly the peaceful cave was a bloody mess.

The alpha wolf commanded the formation and did not participate in the initial battle.

But as the pack of wolves died one by one, the alpha wolf couldn't sit still.

It jumped down from the rock and walked silently in the shadows and shadows. It didn't directly attack Ye Qiusheng, but calmly followed the cover of the pack of wolves and approached bit by bit.

When Ye Qiusheng turned around and killed a one-eyed wolf, he heard the wind behind his head.

Before the knife stuck in the one-eyed wolf's throat could be pulled out, Ye Qiusheng slammed on the iron bridge, leaning back his upper body. The alpha wolf leaped over his head.

The notoriety of sand wolves has spread far and wide not only because of their ferocity, but also because of their cunning.

The wolf leader seemed to attack Ye Qiusheng from behind, but in fact he just wanted to force him to avoid it, but his real purpose was to pass through the fire and rush into the cave through the opening that Ye Qiusheng vacated, and was killed by Ye Qiusheng. Protect the guy behind you.

This wolf's spiritual intelligence is obviously higher than that of the other wolves. It seems to have seen that there is something in the cave behind Ye Qiusheng that restrains him, but it has no ability to resist.

Just as the wolf headed straight for the cave, a knife was thrown from behind obliquely against the ground.

The light of the knife flashed a distorted shadow in mid-air, and the next moment it sank into the wolf's throat, all the way into the head of the wolf.

With a muffled sound, the head wolf's body fell heavily into the fire, almost extinguishing the entire fire.

When the head wolf smashed down, the movement of the pack of wolves stopped instantly—in fact, there were not many sand wolves left. They stood on the ground and let out a muffled sound from their throats in a hurry, like a Time cannot accept such a drastic change in the death of the wolf.

Ye Qiusheng spit out blood from his mouth with a "pooh".

Just at that moment, he threw the knife out, and at this moment a relatively short sand wolf rushed over from the right. At that time, Ye Qiusheng only had time to throw the knife out to deal with the wolf leader, so he had to dodge hastily, so he couldn't dodge completely, and was bitten firmly by the sand wolf on his right shoulder.

The sand wolf's tusks sank into flesh.

Ye Qiusheng's expression remained unchanged, and he turned sideways and brought the sand wolf that hadn't let go, and slammed it hard against the rock wall, knocking the sand wolf dizzy, and let go of the mouth and fell down. He directly grabbed the sand wolf by the neck, twisted around.

The bones of the sand wolf shattered and made a rattling sound, and the head wolf fell into the fire.

The remaining sand wolves, scattered here and there, confronted Ye Qiusheng, who was carrying the wolf carcass, but did not attack again.

Blood gushed out from Ye Qiusheng's shoulder, and soon a large area was wet.

He carried the wolf without changing his expression, squinted slightly at the remaining sand wolves who hesitated to leave, and sneered disdainfully, his face full of hostility in the dim light.

Eventually the remaining sand wolves began to back away slowly.

Seeing his green eyes disappear into the darkness, Ye Qiusheng was still standing in front of the cave without turning around.

It wasn't until there was a sad wolf howl in the night, and then the low and uneven howl sounded, drifting away, that he was relieved, leaned back, and slowly slid down against the rock wall.

What is a leak in the house when it rains all night.

This is called the house leak meets the continuous night rain.

Ye Qiusheng glanced at the bloody place on his shoulder, and smiled wryly. The sand wolf has the blood of "Huang", and its teeth are surprisingly good. This bite almost broke his bones.

Leaning against the cold rock, Ye Qiusheng panted heavily.

At this time, he heard a low coughing sound from the cave behind him.

"Bailishu?"

After a while, Ye Qiusheng didn't have much strength to get up, still leaning against the rock wall, he raised his voice slightly and asked into the cave.

It took a while for the coughing to stop.

Just when Ye Qiusheng felt that he couldn't get an answer, Bailishu's voice, which always seemed deserted, finally came out: "Yes."

Oh, and there's only one single note.

Let's just use a monophonic tone. At least the person has woken up, and it's better than being in a coma and half dead.

Leaning against the cold and hard rock, Ye Qiusheng looked at the mysterious and eerie ghost town in the night, and the wind brought a bit of broken sand. The fire behind him would never go out, Ye Qiusheng squinted his eyes, feeling a little cold.

"How about it?"

Ye Qiusheng replied nonchalantly: "It's okay, a few guests came to visit and found that the master didn't welcome them, so they left."

"I have no problem with smell, and I'm not blind."

Baili Shu replied lightly.

Leaning against the rock wall outside the cave, Ye Qiusheng glanced at the scattered corpses on the ground, smiled sullenly, and said in a frivolous tone as before: "Okay, let's put it another way? Breakfast will be delivered to your door by yourself, so I just brought it to you." Did they stay?"
