Hunting Heart Little Mengxian: Rebirth and Raising a Wolf

Chapter 41 Knowing clearly that there is a demon in the mountain

For the past seventeen years of his youth, Huangfu Yi had always regarded the piece of blue-branched jade as a priceless treasure. Now that he had lost it and found it, he naturally took more care of it and never dared to let it leave his body.

Half a minute and a half millimeter.

However, Huangfu Yi knew very well that if something unexpected happened to Yu Jinwen in the future and he suddenly passed away unexpectedly, with Jiu Xiaohan's character, she would definitely ask "Liang Ziyu" to go back and be with her.

They met by chance, and the last piece of the so-called "Sword and Jade Pendant" left to her by the city guard "Big Brother" who entrusted her to her future generations.

However, he didn't know what Jiu Xiaohan was really thinking in his heart.

In fact, Jiu Xiaohan also has such worries:

If, this time, she had been unable to treat her master's illness, she would not intend to survive.

She had already understood Fifth Senior Brother Wu Yu's intention to give her the sword-tassel jade pendant, but she didn't want to think that before this small item became Fifth Senior Brother's relic, she would probably not be able to enjoy it.

In addition, what Liang Ziyu said just now was enough for her and him to buy two sets of decent shrouds, coffins, etc.

Although it could be heard that Liang Ziyu's words were just casual remarks without intention, it made Jiu Xiaohan feel inexplicably uncomfortable. The waves of hidden worries filled her with many unknown uneasiness.

Although, on weekdays, Master Wuweizi prevents Jiu Xiaohan from participating in or knowing about the related tasks that other brothers are responsible for, this does not mean that Jiu Xiaohan will not learn about it from other channels.

She shouldn't let Liang Ziyu suffer any more pain or suffer any more sins.

Jiu Xiaohan stopped, followed the direction of Liang Ziyu's finger behind him, turned around and forgot about it.

Just when Jiu Xiaohan looked back at Liang Ziyu, Liang Ziyu met her gaze and suddenly said softly:

"Brother An Nuan, look, what's over there?"

It is indeed easy to get lost while walking at night in the deep snow-covered bamboo forest.

Not only that, Jiu Xiaohan could see clearly enough with his gray eyes and blue pupils with abnormal night vision.

With his unique "wolf boy" thinking, Jiu Xiaohan dispelled many worries and unnecessary excessive worries.

Moreover, it is very likely that it was precisely because of the strange pool of water that seemed to glow with a faint green light from a distance that it led to the death of Wu Si, their third senior brother, right?!

Since the fifth senior brother did not explain much to them, Jiu Xiaohan asked Liang Ziyu not to continue asking him what exactly that place was.

Of course, before the three of them were about to set off, Jiu Xiaohan calmly thought about it for a long time, and then tried to persuade Liang Ziyu in kind words.

Immediately, Jiu Xiaohan quickly reminded the other two people in time, saying:

"Danger ahead! Turn off your sense of smell quickly!"

I'm afraid that the next "trip to subdue the demon" will be very bad!

Presumably, he and his "third brother" had experienced some extremely terrifying and unforgettable scene there not long ago.

What's more, in the past twenty years of Qingxinguan's life, she could be said to have been pampered by everyone all day long, and she was happy and "careless" and "without any worries."

Jiu Xiaohan was still worried:

Liang Ziyu's body, which had just recovered from a serious injury, should not be suitable for a long night walk in the snow, and he was even less suitable to follow her and the fifth senior brother to slay demons.

Could it be that Liang Ziyu already knew that once they set foot on the road to the north of the mountain, they would definitely pass through this mysterious winding bamboo forest, and they would also inevitably encounter the giant eating beast that the third and fifth brothers had encountered before, which made them narrowly escape death.

Human monster?

However, if Liang Ziyu knew this before, why didn't he just tell her the whole story at that time?

However, Jiu Xiaohan inadvertently remembered that when she left the ruined Guanyin Temple and prepared to set off for Ngee An County, Liang Ziyu made three guesses and seventy percent certainty led her all the way.

The south side of the mountain.

A few hornbills that came out to look for food huddled on the dry branches, motionless, and looked down warily at the three figures walking on the ground.

Then, from then on, Liang Ziyu had to rely on her, Jiu Xiaohan, to protect and protect her with all her strength!

She was the one who took the initiative to invite Liang Ziyu to go down the mountain with her to seek medical advice. It was not even two hours on the second day. She must not go back on her promise and slap herself in the face.

This smell is very special; it is completely different from the smell Jiu Xiaohan smelled in the underground black wolf cave.

"Ah? Close, close what?!"

Otherwise, that is, is it possible that he has always been afraid, and with her character, she will definitely be like now: knowing clearly that there are monsters in the mountains, but preferring to go to the monster mountains?!

Jiu Xiaohan always habitually imagines the best in people's minds and prepares his plans and actions for the best and worst.

However, Liang Ziyu refused to go back to the ruined temple alone. No matter what, he accompanied Jiu Xiaohan all the way north, heading straight for this dense bamboo forest.

I saw that on the other side of the winding bamboo forest, about three to forty feet away, there was a sparkling body of water that flickered and appeared.

However, even without the bright moon and mottled starlight above his head seeping through the branches, Jiu Xiaohan was still able to take in the subtle expression changes on his fifth senior brother's face at this time.

Immediately afterwards, there were waves of an increasingly disgusting fishy and sour smell.

"Well, over there, it's not an ordinary pool of water..."

The cool shadows of the trees are scattered on the long footprints in the snow, and a winding path leads directly to the water on the other side of the jungle.

In order not to expose too many footprints, Liang Ziyu followed Jiu Xiaohan, and Jiu Xiaohan followed the fifth senior brother Wu Yu, following the path that Wu Yu and the late third senior brother came from, step by step.

Don't miss the depths of the bamboo forest outside Qing'ao.

Could it be that he did it on purpose?

But in fact, when she saw Liang Ziyu pointing in that direction, she had already seen the situation in the distance completely and clearly.

Walk over and take a look, isn’t it clear at a glance?!

——For Jiu Xiaohan, this kind of change, this kind of transformation, is quite special!

▽▽▽▽

The three people, front and back, formed a line, walking towards the deepest secret realm of the Crooked Bamboo Forest.

From now on, she will change her role, from an object of protection to a protector with a strong aura. She must hold this "black wolf brother" in the palm of her hand!

In the distance, on the surface of the large pool of green water, thick layers of colorless gas that are not easily visible to the naked eye are evaporating outward.

▽▽▽▽

Next, the closer he got to the pool of water, the more profoundly Jiu Xiaohan was able to understand what the fifth brother meant by "unusual" when he was nervous for a moment...

Although Jiu Xiaohan was born with a pair of unusual blue eyes with excellent night vision, she did not try her best to show it off in front of Liang Ziyu and fifth senior brother Wu Yu.

In fact, his reason is very simple:

"Anyway, I have survived all these years by myself! Every day and every night, haven't I escaped from all kinds of deaths countless times? Isn't it right! No matter this

Right now, and in the days to come, my life has been 'stolen' from God, and I won't do it again!"

It seems that from time to time, there is a faint breath of horror permeating the outside, as if it is prepared in advance and wants to pay tribute to something.

▽▽▽▽

Reluctantly bidding farewell to his third senior brother Wu Si, Wu Yu silently said "Wait for me" in his heart and got up on his way.

"Bounty hunting guards" like them, who are appointed by the royal family, spend all day and night licking blood from the tip of the knife, eating a "demon-chasing career" without finishing a meal.

It started when Kuai Yu gave me the hunting guard waistband.

However, they both took it for granted that the words Liang Ziyu just said were just the playful words of a young and ignorant child, and no one had anything to argue with this young man.

This time, I was accidentally bumped into by Liang Ziyu and was accidentally corrected to the right path. It is really a thing to be thankful for.

Thick snow covered the ground. Everywhere you looked, there was a vast expanse of gray snow in dark ink. The surroundings were extremely quiet.

Both Liang Ziyu and Jiu Xiaohan could hear that there was some profound and unknown meaning in Wu Yu's paused tone. It was obvious that he had slightly lingering fears.

Liang Ziyu's tone was firm, and his face showed no intention of being persuaded to return.

Along the way, Jiu Xiaohan would always look back from time to time, always following closely behind him, carefully stepping over the "wolf boy" who never left a step behind his footsteps.

What she was thinking was:

After all, this pitiable "wild mountain black wolf cub" was the seventeen-year-old boy who she, Jiu Xiaohan, personally carried out from the underground black wolf den and saved.

But just as the Fifth Senior Brother and Liang Ziyu focused their attention there, in the blink of an eye, Jiu Xiaohan immediately put away her blue-light eyes, and they did not notice that she had just used her eyes.

Ability.

No matter how you put it, he can be regarded as someone who has shared life and death with her, and it was she who gave her a new name herself, and they worshiped each other together, and they recognized each other as "the good brother"!

Hearing Yu Jinwen, who was standing in front, shout in shock, Liang Ziyu couldn't help but have some suspicions in his heart, but there was no change in the young man's face.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Jinwen expressed his guilt again and again, and said to the two of them embarrassedly:

"Fortunately, fortunately! If Ziyu hadn't discovered that place in time, I'm afraid I would have taken the wrong direction. Yes, that's true north!"

At the same time, Wu Yu, who was walking at the front of the three-person team, suddenly stopped on the spot, turned sideways in time, and looked into the distance where the other two people were looking.

This time it was better. It took only a few sticks of incense to catch up with Jiu Xiaohan and his fifth senior brother Wu Yu.

Moreover, after she lifted up the tip of her small nose, which was strong and cold, even a little reddish from the cold, through the natural fresh air of ice and snow that came naturally to the forest and snowfield under her feet,

Easily distinguishing and peeling away the wet fragrance of dry branches and dead leaves of the trees, she finally smelled the decaying corpse gas that was getting closer and closer to the three of them, and the smell was getting stronger and stronger.

Liang Ziyu asked casually.

Her premonition actually coincided with what the fifth senior brother was going to say next.

Liang Ziyu's words are indeed true to every word. However, no matter how you listen to them, you will feel a wave of heartfelt pity for him.

Previously, the sound of their footsteps echoing in the winding bamboo forest was suddenly stopped.

"Brother Jinwen, what is that place over there? Looking over here, it looks like a pool of water!"

Presumably, most of the fishy and sour smell in the air around the three of them came from there, no doubt.

The sweetness of the juice is tightly wrapped by the crystal clear frost outside.

The miserable moonlight slanted, cool and cool, slowly flowing over a large area of ​​black lantern fruit trees.

It seems that most of them have long been accustomed to death and are not afraid of death. However, there are only two things that they are most taboo about:

Liang Ziyu, who was a few steps away from where Fifth Brother Wu Yu was standing, could not clearly see the gloomy look on his face at this moment in the pitch-black night.

Come to think of it, the reason why the fifth senior brother was so panic-stricken was probably because he remembered something terrible, which made him show such a frightened expression again.

But, what on earth is he doing that for?

She told him that she hoped he could go back to the Guanyin Temple to rest for a day, and then pick him up and go to Ngee Ann County with her when she came back.

One is witnessing the corpses of his relatives in front of him; the other is being mentioned unfavorable words such as "death" by others before performing a mission.

Farewell to Qing'ao, it sounds like it means bidding farewell to the valley of Qingxin Mountain.

Although Wu Yu, the fifth senior brother, has been leading the way, among the three people, Jiu Xiaohan was the first to notice it.

Because, after all, this is really a matter of life and death, and the future is unpredictable, and it is indeed too dangerous.

At this time, even though he was wearing a black wolf fur cloak that was thick enough to keep him warm, it still sent a slight chill down Liang Ziyu's spine.

Those strings of frozen black lantern fruits look particularly mysterious and attractive against the backdrop of the pre-dawn night sky.

As a result, Jiu Xiaohan completely gave up his thoughts and no longer wanted to drive him back to the ruined Guanyin Temple.

"Oh! Yes! That's right there!"

Liang Ziyu had a surprised expression at first, and then quickly imitated Jiu Xiaohan's actions and covered his nose, pretending that he knew nothing and didn't understand anything.

His voice became garbled, and he kept asking Jiu Xiaohan:

"I...I don't know how! Little, uh, no, brother An Nuan, what should I do, what should I do? Can't I even breathe? Then, if it doesn't happen soon, I will be suffocated to death.

What?"

Well?

Jiu Xiaohan paused silently.

Strange!

Previously, under that century-old tree, didn't Liang Ziyu unblock all her sealed acupuncture points on her own?

At this critical moment, how could he be so passive again?
