laughing saint

Chapter 24

In the early morning in the Cangling Mountains, when you open your eyes, you will see the morning sun passing through the branches and leaves of the trees, the faint golden light, and countless fine dust dancing under the golden light. It is a kind of lightness, a kind of lightness. Cozy.

Chen Xiaofan was the last night watchman, so he saw the first ray of sunlight in the morning, heard the faint chirping of insects, and the melodious chirping of birds, Chen Xiaofan felt that the morning in the barren mountains and wild forests was very moving, he smiled, deeply He took a deep breath, a breath of moistening lungs and sweetness, as if he felt something, if he realized something.

Tang Wenchang was the first person to wake up, because he was the first person on duty last night. Seeing the smile on Chen Xiaofan's face, he also smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you seem to be in a good mood."

Chen Xiaofan's body shook, as if he had been awakened from a certain state, he didn't hear Tang Wenchang's words clearly, but saw Tang Wenchang's smile, so he asked, "Captain, you seem to be very happy."

"I saw you laughing early in the morning, and I started laughing unconsciously."

Perhaps because of the silence in the forest in the early morning, the two whispered to each other and awakened Wu Gang and the three of them.

"It's so early in the morning, I can't be more peaceful and let me sleep a little longer!" Cai Xiaohong rubbed her eyes and said.

"Sister Cai, you can be really wide-body and fat. Do you want to sleep a little longer here?! Then sleep well, we won't wait for you." Liu Hua straightened his clothes and said.

Wu Gang seemed to be preoccupied, and said with a serious face, "Don't talk such nonsense early in the morning."

"Old Wu, didn't you sleep well last night?" Tang Wenchang heard that Wu Gang was in a bad mood.

"Wenchang, the more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong."

Seeing that everyone has woken up, Liu Hua went out to get the bag talisman, tapped his strength, took out some cooked meat and water, handed it to everyone and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Yes, old Wu, what do you think is wrong?" Tang Wenchang also asked.

"We have been hunting animals for many years, but have we ever encountered so many clawed monkeys appearing together?"

"No." Tang Wenchang replied after thinking for a while.

Liu Hua and Cai Xiaohong also shook their heads after thinking for a while, saying that such a situation had never happened.

"So I think we should think about whether it is appropriate to move forward at this time?" Wu Gang continued.

After thinking for a while, Tang Wenchang said: "We are less active in the current area, maybe there are more clawed monkeys in this area."

Wu Gang frowned and said, "You're saying it's possible, but I still think it's best to be careful. If some reason we don't know causes the increase in the number of ferocious beasts, then the danger of my trip will be huge." will increase a lot.”

"Old man, I think you are a bit filtered. We have been in this industry for many years, and there was no danger that time." Cai Xiaohong obviously did not agree with Wu Gang's idea of ​​retreating.

Wu Gang ignored Cai Xiaohong but turned around and asked Chen Xiaofan who was eating meat and drinking water: "Brother Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Xiaofan swallowed the meat in his mouth and said: "I think it's enough to be careful, it's really too dangerous and just run away."

Liu Hua also smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm the best runner."

Seeing that everyone was unwilling to turn back, Wu Gang could only nod his head in agreement, and sighed inwardly, "I hope it's because of my overthinking."

After breakfast, everyone continued to move forward, but they were more cautious and slower than yesterday.

On this day, the five members of the Herringbone Thirty Beast Hunting Team only advanced less than ten miles, but the ten miles was very peaceful. Except for encountering a armored sheep, the five solved the battle with almost no effort. After that, the journey went smoothly without encountering any danger.

The smooth progress of the day gave Tang Wenchang and the others confidence, especially Wu Gang's hanging heart.

After walking like this for three days, apart from encountering three first-order mountain rats, they didn't encounter any other ferocious beasts, so the journey was safe and sound.

On the fifth day, the hunting team finally arrived at the target location. The trees here are slightly withered and yellow, and they surround a lake about a hundred feet wide. The water in the center of the lake is light yellow, while the water near the shore is dark green. , seems very strange.

"Wenchang, is this the position?" Wu Gang asked.

Tang Wenchang looked at the map, gestured for a while and said, "There should be nothing wrong."

"Wenchang is very strange here." Wu Gang said.

"Brother Tang, I feel the same way." Liu Hua looked a little nervous.

"What's strange?" Chen Xiaofan asked.

"Don't you think it's too quiet?" Liu Hua asked back.

Chen Xiaofan listened carefully, it was indeed very quiet, not even the sound of insects.

"Unless there are ferocious beasts nearby, you can't be so quiet. Be careful and hide." Tang Wenchang said in a low voice.

Everyone retreated quickly and hid in a place where the trees were denser. Time passed continuously between breaths and breaths. smaller.

The sun is gradually slanting to the west, the night is coming as expected, the waiting time is unbearable, and in such a depressing atmosphere, Chen Xiaofan feels a little uncomfortable, in order to reduce his discomfort, Chen Xiaofan simply closes his eyes, just go to feel.

Another two hours later, at this time the bright moon was already high and the wind was getting colder. Chen Xiaofan suddenly opened his eyes and said in an inaudible voice, "Here we come."

A wolf roared and came to the side of the lake. This wolf was black all over, about two meters high and three meters long, with slightly erect hair. Under the silver moonlight, there was a glint of cold light. This is the third-level upper class Fierce beasts worship wolves.

Tang Wenchang held the big knife behind his back with his left hand, raised his left hand, and signaled everyone to prepare for action.

Hei Chonglang opened his mouth wide, revealing his extremely sharp teeth, and raised his head to the sky with a long howl, as if swearing his territory.

Hei Chonglang let out a long roar, then lowered his head to drink water. At this moment, Tang Wenchang waved his left hand, and Liu Hua quickly shot out the two talisman papers that had been held between his fingertips.

The "Lightning Talisman" was activated by Liu Hua's Yuan Power, and the two talisman papers carried the meaning of thunder and lightning, and disappeared in the air, and then two golden lightning lights appeared. Hei Chonglang suddenly raised his head, turned his body, and flicked his tail With a lot of strength, he met two lightning bolts.

There was a paralyzing force in the lightning, causing Heichonglang's body to freeze suddenly. During the short time when he stopped moving, Wu Gang jumped up, turned his body rapidly in the air, held the dagger in both hands, and performed the "Eagle Strike the Sky" move , like an eagle swooping down on Heichong wolf.

Almost at the same time, Cai Xiaohong spat out the word "Hum Ha", and smashed it out with a bang with a force of a thousand catties, and Tang Wenchang also brandished a huge wide-bladed sword and used the "Flying Sand to Cover the Sky Sword" ", Dao was full of vigor, and under the package of sand, vented a rage that was unique to the desert, and rushed towards the Heichong wolf.

Several muffled bangs sounded, Wu Gang and the three of them successfully hit Heiconglang with their moves.

Hei Chonglang uttered a long and violent cry, as if expressing pain and anger, and then did not fall down.

Hei Chonglang jumped up and rushed into the air, who had just succeeded in a blow, and was turning away with his strength. Wu Gang was very surprised when he saw the blood-red eyes and the huge Hei Chonglang pounced towards him, but Quickly regaining clarity, he hastily waved the dagger in his hand, sending out bursts of fierce energy, like an eagle spreading its wings, facing its enemy in the air.

A crisp sound sounded, and Wu Gang's strength did not cut through the extremely hard fur of the Heichong wolf, nor did it slow down the speed of the Heichong wolf's pounce. Seeing the Heichong wolf approaching, Wu Gang sighed secretly in his heart: " It's over!"

Hei Chonglang waved his claws, and when he saw that he was about to tear the hateful person in front of him into pieces, a light blue figure flashed by, and Wu Gang's figure also disappeared. Hei Chonglang lost his grip and fell back to the ground.
