Chapter 70: Difficulties in the Wilderness

In front of the Wolf God Temple, the white wolf took a step and left the main peak of Hanyu Mountain, which was shrouded in calamity clouds.

Under the power of the mountain god, he took Xiao Ai to shrink the earth into an inch, quickly passed through the primitive jungle of the back mountain, and finally arrived at the big lake at the end of the mountain range.

Under the sun, the calm lake surface was sparkling, and a cool breeze blew towards them.

After passing this lake, they left the scope of Hanyu Mountain, and Lu Heng's mountain god power was invalid.

However, this time when he went down the mountain, in addition to looking for the opportunity to break through, he also had a playful mentality. So he didn't plan to rush, but planned to play all the way.

Even if he had the power of the mountain god, he didn't plan to use it on the next road.

After being trapped in the dark and closed underground for a long time, now he can finally come out and see the primitive scenery of the sky and water, which is also a different experience.

It can even be said to be refreshing.

For example, the large lake with clear water in front of him could have been developed as a tourist attraction in the previous life. But in this era without industrial pollution, such clear and transparent lakes can be seen everywhere.

The wild beasts in the wild world are rampant, but it also means that everything in this world retains the purest and original appearance, with beautiful mountains and clear waters and beautiful scenery.

Looking at the fish swimming in the lake, Lu Heng couldn't help but feel nostalgic and laughed.

"Speaking of which, I haven't eaten for a long time. Let's eat a bite of fish before leaving."

Xiao Ai, who was following Lu Heng, was a little surprised, "Eat a bite?"

She said, "If Lord Wolf God wants to eat fish, Xiao Ai will fish and cook it for you."

The huge white wolf shook his head, "No, it's too troublesome to fish and cook. I'll just eat a bite and then go on the road."

After that, under the surprised gaze of the little girl, the white wolf opened his bloody mouth directly to the big lake in front of him.

Under the power of the mountain god, a surging whirlpool suddenly appeared in the lake. Then, one after another, fat and tender live fish flew out of the lake, all lined up and flew into Lu Heng's mouth.

In just a few dozen breaths, Lu Heng swallowed nearly a hundred fish in one breath, and then nodded contentedly, saying, "Okay, let's continue on our way."

"..." The little girl on the side watched all this speechlessly, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

But the white wolf had already gone far away, and the little girl had to hurry up to catch up.

In the afternoon sun, the pace of the man and the wolf was not fast, but whether it was the bumpy terrain, the weedy wilderness, or even the muddy swamp, they were like walking on flat ground under their feet.

Soon, the two disappeared by the lake and stepped into the wilderness south of Hanyu Mountain.

Lu Heng didn't know where Fushan City was, but after finding the memory of the wolf demon, he had a feeling in his heart that the opportunity for this trip was in the south.

And when talking with the old priest, the old man also mentioned that Fushan City was located in the south of Huotong Country. So although Lu Heng didn't know the specific route, he just had to go south.

Although Lu Heng has not opened the Heaven Gate, he has already reached the critical point of transformation. Even if the power of heavenly thunder is not counted, his Taoism is higher than that of the original wolf demon.

Not to mention Xiao Ai, the wolf demon's two hundred years of Taoism are all attributed to her, and Lu Heng has injected a wisp of heavenly thunder power to make the foundation of Taoism. In the past year or so, he has been practicing in the Hanyu Mountain with abundant spiritual energy, and he is no longer the same as before.

This man and wolf walked in the wilderness, and there was no blind beast who dared to provoke them.

After all, there are few demon beasts with Taoism, so it is not easy to meet them.

Lu Heng and his friends walked all the way south, passing through one uninhabited wilderness after another, stepping over one primitive mountain after another, and saw many strange beasts along the way, but did not meet even a single demon.

They walked during the day and rested at night. Although Xiao Ai and Lu Heng did not need to sleep, Lu Heng did not want to travel at night.

Traveling in the dark not only missed the scenery along the way, but also looked weird. He still wanted to maintain some of his human habits, and didn't want to turn himself into a non-human alien.

So when they rested at night, the man and the wolf would stop, find a place with wind to light a bonfire, roast a few wild animals caught in the mountains, and taste the taste of barbecue. Then the man and the wolf would sit around the bonfire and close their eyes to practice until dawn.

If they were lucky and found a cave, they wouldn't have to sleep in the wilderness.

With such a simple and plain tour, the man and the wolf walked south for fifteen days before they walked out of the wilderness and saw the Chidao built by humans.

The so-called Chidao is a loess road connecting human cities.

The Chidao was opened in the mountains and wilderness, flattening the forest boulders along the way, compacting the loess, and leveling the road surface. It can be said to be a large-scale livelihood project.

However, although this world is primitive and wild, due to the existence of various practitioners, the productivity is not weak, so Lu Heng is not surprised by the generosity of this Chidao.

Looking at the human road from a distance, Xiao Ai asked, "Lord Wolf God, should we avoid the road?"

The white wolf shook his head and said, "No need to avoid it. It's also an interesting experience for us to walk on the road in the human world."

As he spoke, Lu Heng's body shrank rapidly. The original behemoth-like beast shrank several times rapidly.

Although it was still huge compared to ordinary wild wolves, it was not so scary.

He stood beside Xiao Ai, almost as tall as Xiao Ai.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Let's go south along the road first. If the route of the road changes, we will leave."

"Okay," Xiao Ai nodded heavily, and walked out of the primitive jungle with the shrunken Lu Heng, and stepped onto the compacted loess road one after the other.

On the Chidao, although the road was compacted, flat and easy to walk, it was still desolate. The man and the wolf walked along the Chidao for a whole morning, and never saw a passerby.

But this is not surprising.

Although the Chidao was built, the mountains and roads between cities are still high and long, wild beasts are rampant, and occasionally there are monsters rampant.

In such a dangerous world, most ordinary villagers who have not set foot on the path of cultivation do not travel far. For a lifetime, they basically stay in the same place.

The most people walking on the Chidao are those traveling merchants, or those monks who have cultivation and are not afraid of wild beasts.

Lu Heng and his friends walked along the Chidao for a whole morning, and even encountered several wild beasts lurking in the dense forest beside the Chidao to guard people. If ordinary people encounter wild beasts on the roadside when they are alone, they will fall directly into the mouth of the beast.

Even those merchants who traveled far and wide could be attacked by these beasts if they were careless. After all, some of those beasts were so fierce that even lions and tigers would be afraid of them.

So after walking on the road this morning, although Lu Heng did not meet any passers-by, he had a deeper understanding of the dangers of traveling in this world.

Although those beasts did not dare to jump out and attack Lu Heng and Xiao Ai, it was definitely a disaster that was extremely difficult for mortals to resist.

A strange beast with a height of ten feet, a body like a deer but a white tail, two hind legs are horse hooves, front legs are human hands, and there are four sharp horns on the head...

Looking like a goat, but more than twice as big as a goat, with a ferocious green face and fangs...

Looking like a civet cat that has been magnified several times, but with only one eye and three tails...

The beasts encountered, some of which Lu Heng had seen in Hanyu Mountain, some of which Lu Heng had not seen but Xiao Ai had heard about the characteristics of the elders, and some of which Xiao Ai had never heard of...In this wild and strange world, beasts like lions and tigers are not at the top of the food chain.

There are many more terrifying things above lions and tigers.

In the wilderness before, Lu Heng also saw many more peculiar beasts. Many of the evil beasts even looked so big that Lu Heng dared not eat them, for fear of getting sick from eating them.

However, there are also some kinds of evil beasts that are ferocious and violent, but after Xiao Ai roasts their meat, the taste is really amazing.

Even now, Lu Heng can't help but miss them a little, and hopes to meet those evil beasts again in the next journey.
