Fetching water lasted for more than an hour and ended at almost noon. Next, they would start the most dangerous part of the trip to fetch water. How to get back?
The path back is very clear. This is the best choice based on many years of experience. It is the most solid road under heavy load of oxcarts. Although it is nearly half as long as the way back, Hou Zi has no objection. He respects these ordinary people. Mortal wisdom.
After simply eating dry food, the team set off. Even the strong yak had to drag the heavy water tanker with great difficulty. When going uphill, people had to stick their buttocks and push hard, and when going downhill, they had to pull as hard as they could. This is The trouble on the return trip is not only to avoid getting stuck in the mud, but also to try to find a flat path. Otherwise, whether it is uphill or downhill, it will be a huge drain on the yak's physical strength.
No one was sitting on the bullock cart anymore. There were only seven or eight men in the entire team riding horses back and forth, guarding the highlands along the way to guard against possible wild beasts. Hou Zi did not ride a horse, so he began to consciously train himself to be like Jiang. Like several of the elders in Youzhen, try to keep your legs crossed. This is also the most important basic skill of swordsmanship.
A cavalryman may be a sword cultivator, but a swordsmanship cultivator is definitely not a cavalryman. He must develop a habit and integrate it into his blood and penetrate deep into his bones.
So far, everything has gone smoothly. Although Yinling Wasteland is very dangerous, the danger during the day is still limited. The probability of a real accident may not be as high as once a month. If an accident really happens every day, I am afraid that even Fangjiabao will The castle will also become a widow's castle.
No one had the strength to speak anymore, and no one dared to rest on the way back. One fetch of water could sustain a family of five for half a month. From this, it can be seen that the three sisters-in-law used to take a bath to seduce him. How much did it cost? This is almost the most precious thing, but it was used by him to play in the water?
At the end of the day, nearly two hours had passed safely, and more than half of the return journey had been completed. At this time, a rider responsible for watching in the northwest suddenly blew a sharp whistle, which was to remind everyone that a herd of animals was approaching. .
Nearly thirty bullock carts quickly gathered together. Apparently, they planned to form a circular defense circle and circle the herd. At the same time, two riders quickly rushed to the small front fort to report the news. For the current small front fort, Every population is precious.
However, the beasts came very quickly, without any delay, and just came towards the human team collecting water. Generally, in a situation like this, there must be a monster in the beast herd, otherwise it would not be possible to follow the same order.
They are a group of Yinling short-tailed wolves, and they are also the most hostile group of humans in the wasteland. Their attacks do not require a reason, they are just bloodthirsty. These things are all over the Yinling wasteland and have no fixed territory, so they are difficult to eradicate.
Seeing that the team had no time to arrange a circular defense, the men on horseback began to rush towards the wolves as a whole team, not trying to kill many short-tailed wolves, just to buy some time for the people behind; in Yinling, everyone is a hero, There is no room for cowards here.
This is a group of medium-sized wolves with thirty to forty wolves. The leader is a tall and strong monster wolf that is several times larger than other short-tailed wolves. He is the alpha wolf of this group.
Even though he knew he was about to die, he could only charge upwards. With the strength of this wolf, even the knights covered in heavy armor would probably be knocked away, let alone border residents with ordinary equipment like them.
However, the contact and collision between the two sides did not come, because there was a person still running in front of the galloping horse. If endurance was not considered, Hou Zi's current speed had exceeded that of an ordinary horse, and as his skills became more and more profound, this gap
It will get bigger and bigger.
The alpha wolf immediately realized something was wrong. It was hesitant to continue the attack. There were human monks around, which was a situation it rarely encountered.
However, there was no time for it to react too much. The human monk accelerated again while moving quickly, and instantly closed the distance with it. Then a sword light flashed, and the wolf demon raised its claws to block, but he did not expect that the cost was
The price of a front paw.
The only luck was that it escaped the blow to the throat.
But if one leg is lame, it is naturally not flexible enough. The impact on the body's movement cannot be measured by just one lame leg. Even if the monster's body is strong, it cannot be reborn after a severed limb in its current state.
Hou Ting restrained him and beat him violently. The only thing that could help him was to call his younger brothers to come up and help him.
"Go outside and don't let anyone get away!"
Hou Zi shouted, already understanding his practice (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 131 Encountered danger on the way
The human knights did not hesitate and quickly dispersed to the periphery. In the Yinling Wasteland, it is difficult to say anything else, but in terms of combat, they will unconditionally follow the monks' instructions. This is the only way for them to survive.
Thirty or forty ordinary short-tailed wolves rushed towards Hou Zi. In the wilderness, if a wolf pack loses the alpha wolf, especially the alpha wolf that has become a monster, the consequences will be very serious. Not only will humans treat them
The threat has greatly increased, that is, other short-tailed wolves also have fatal behaviors towards them. The male wolves will be bitten to death, and none of the cubs will survive. Only the female wolves have the possibility of survival.
Under the summons of the demon wolf, the wolves risked their lives, but ordinary beasts like them no longer pose a threat to practitioners like Hou Zi. The only trouble they may cause is to flee in all directions, but cunning humans use
The alpha wolf tied them up.
The battle was bloody but not fierce. The demon wolf knew the intentions of the human monks, but it had no idea of ​​dedicating itself to the group. It only thought about how to escape under the control of its younger brothers.
As a result, it didn't find a chance to escape until its little brothers died.
Hou Zi flew out with his sword and killed the demon wolf with his sword. Such a battle was not challenging. In the distance, a group of human knights were gathered together, and they didn't know what they were discussing. He was convinced that all the short-tailed wolves were
If you didn't escape, what are these guys doing?
After rushing over, a leading knight said respectfully, "Sir, we don't know how many wolves and dolphins there are..."
Hou Zi didn't even look at it, "Kill, let's set off quickly!"
Wolf dolphins are a group that coexist with wolves. They are timid by nature and live on scavenging carrion. They usually travel with wolves. Strictly speaking, they are not wolves. Why can they live in harmony with the ferocious and violent wolves?
It is also one of the countless mysteries in nature.
The people of Yinling generally do not think of them as a threat. For fear of being retaliated by the wolves, they will not kill them if they encounter them occasionally, but let them leave. This is a habit, but under the cold orders of this monk today, no one
Dare to question.
There is no reason, he is just cutting the grass and roots. His compassion is limited and needs to be used where it is truly worth using.
After the knights killed the helpless wolves and dolphins, they immediately went back to form a team and set out. However, Hou Zi did not go back, but continued to walk forward for a distance, clasped his hands, and
"Fellow Taoist, I've been watching this for a long time, and I don't know if I have any advice?"
