Chapter 78 Rhinoceros Channel
Lu Heng took the initiative to invite him to travel with him, which was a great thing that Huo Feng could not even think of.
He hurriedly thanked him, grateful in his heart.
His mood improved, and even the sky covered with dark clouds no longer felt gloomy.
However, although Huo Feng was in a good mood, the other people in the caravan could not laugh.
The further they went, the thicker and darker the clouds in the sky became. By the afternoon, the dark clouds almost covered the entire sky, and there was no sunlight.
There was a howling wind in the mountains, which was clearly a sign of a coming rainstorm.
Xin Sheng, the leader of the caravan, hesitated for a while, and finally came to the back and found Lu Heng.
"Lord Wolf God," Xin Sheng looked anxious, but still saluted respectfully, "The sky is covered with dark clouds, I'm afraid it will rain heavily soon. We want to speed up and get over this mountain as soon as possible, so..."
"It's okay, you just go ahead," Lu Heng said, "We will catch up."
"Thank you, Lord Wolf God," After getting the promise, Xin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried back to the caravan in front to tell everyone to speed up.
The men who had been anxious for a long time immediately began to whip the pack animals, and the caravan's speed immediately increased on the rugged and narrow mountain road.
Behind the caravan, Lu Heng and Xiao Ai still maintained a leisurely pace, but the speed did not fall behind, always keeping the same distance from the caravan.
Huo Feng, who was lying on the back of the horse, did not have to worry. The horse was fierce and could travel thousands of miles a day, so it was easy to keep up with the pack animals.
However, the mountain road where Lu Heng and his men were now was originally a steep uphill mountain road, which was extremely bumpy. After the speed increased, Huo Feng was even more shaken.
But even so, Huo Feng still held the reins tightly and lowered his body, not daring to let go.
Because there was a cliff on one side, if he stepped into the air, he would be dead.
And looking at the situation of this mountain road, it was clearly a cliff trail that was opened up directly on the hard cliff mountain from scratch.
The road in the wilderness before was wide and smooth, and could accommodate ten horses running side by side.
But this section of the cliff trail was extremely narrow, and a rhino occupied the entire road, and the caravan was walking in a line.
And because of the coming rainstorm, the mountain was now howling with strong winds, blowing everyone's body, greatly affecting the caravan's speed. But in such a dangerous section of the road, the caravan did not slow down its speed, but kept urging the pack animals.
Such a strange behavior made Lu Heng a little curious.
"Brother Huo, is there anything in this mountain?" Lu Heng asked.
He originally thought that the caravan wanted to leave this dangerous mountain road before the rainstorm, but now looking at their performance, it was clear that they were afraid of something and wanted to leave quickly.
This aroused Lu Heng's curiosity.
Although Huo Feng, who was lying on the back of the horse, had a pale face, he still managed to cheer up and explain after hearing the Wolf God's question.
"Replying to Lord Wolf God, it is rumored that there is a monster called Xiqu in this mountain. It is as strong as an ox, with dark blue fur, cruel and terrifying, and likes to eat people. It often attacks traveling merchants, so traveling caravans have never dared to stay in this mountain."
"So that's it..." Lu Heng nodded to show that he understood.
A beast that can eat people for a long time on the road and has been famous for so long but still has not been killed must have magical powers that ordinary beasts cannot match.
It's no wonder that the caravan was so nervous.
Although they knew that Lu Heng must be powerful, what if? Once something happens, the price paid is life, and these traveling merchants don't dare to gamble at all.
Lu Heng did not feel offended or looked down upon.
If he were in the same shoes as these merchants, he would make the same choice.
Moreover, he did not think he was that great.
Although he had the confidence that he could subdue the beast even if it appeared, this confidence was actually due to the sword on Xiao Ai's back...
As for Lu Heng's current combat power, he only had seven thunderbolts. Although he was invincible when bullying weak enemies, it was still unknown who would win if he really encountered a strong enemy.
Lu Heng never thought that he was invincible just because he could control thunderbolts.
There were many powerful people in this world, and if you were to be arrogant with a little ability, it would definitely lead to your death.
However, Lu Heng was somewhat interested in the monster named Xiqu.
Because the more powerful the beast, the harder it was to embark on the path of cultivation. There are many beasts in the wilderness that are born with magical powers, and their destructive power is even stronger than many untransformed monsters.
But most of these beasts are muddle-headed and have no intelligence, and are real "beasts". This Xiqu is so powerful that Lu Heng is a little curious. Is it an accomplished demon? Or a beast with strong talents?
Therefore, after hearing the rumors about Xiqu, Lu Heng began to observe the situation in the mountain, wanting to see if there was really a ferocious beast lurking near the Chidao Road to harm people.
However, the wind was howling in the mountain, and the dark clouds covered the sky, and the scenery in the distance was almost invisible. Lu Heng failed to find Xiqu as he wished, but found that the cliff path under his feet was a little unusual.
This cliff path was opened on the cliff mountain, but the cut was smooth, not chiseled out by one blow after another. If you look closely, it looks like it was split by a sword.
A sword split a path on the mountain...
Lu Heng estimated and confirmed that he could not do such an exaggerated thing.
The power of the thunder is fierce and fierce, and sentient beings can hardly resist it. But in terms of physical destructive power, it is actually very ordinary, far less than the terrifying sword power of this sword breaking the mountain.
To achieve this level of destruction, Lu Heng still has a long way to go.
On the mountain road, Lu Heng was thinking in his mind and observing the situation in the mountain, while everyone in the caravan had climbed to the halfway point of the mountain.
Ahead is a pass where two mountains meet. After crossing the pass, it is the trail down the mountain.
Seeing this pass, everyone in the caravan breathed a sigh of relief.
But they did not dare to relax, and continued to climb towards the pass with their beasts of burden.
Most of the passes between two mountains are raging with strong winds. Now that the heavy rain is coming, the mountain wind here is even more violent to the point that it makes people unsteady.
However, the rhinos, as beasts of burden, were all fat and strong, and were not afraid of the fierce wind. They each carried heavy goods and climbed over the pass in the mountain under the urging of the merchants.
After crossing the pass, the trail down the mountain becomes much easier.
Not only is the road much wider, there are no longer steep cliffs next to it. Even because the back of the mountain is leeward, the wind on the mountain road is much lighter.
In the group of merchants who had been quiet for a long time, there was finally a conversation. Everyone was so nervous when climbing the mountain that they had no intention of talking.
Now that they had relaxed, everyone felt like they were surviving a disaster, but they did not dare to relax. They still rushed the beasts of burden, hoping to get down the mountain as soon as possible.
Behind, Lu Heng followed at the end of the team, looking back at the barren mountains behind him from time to time, but he never saw the figure of the strange beast named Xiqu.
In my heart, I was slightly disappointed.
But not meeting Xiqu is probably a good thing for the merchants, right?
Lu Heng thought this in his mind. Not long after walking, he suddenly heard a shrill cry of a baby in the mountains.
"Whoa! Whoa!"
The moment he heard the baby's cry, Lu Heng immediately looked towards the wind-swept mountain.
Because while the wind was howling, the baby's cry was approaching rapidly, rushing in their direction at an extremely fast speed!
"stop!"
The moment Lu Heng spoke, the caravan in front stopped instantly, and everyone was a little panicked.
"Lord Wolf God, what happened?" Xin Sheng came over and asked with some fear.
Lu Heng walked towards the caravan in front and said, "There is something in the mountains coming this way, screaming like a baby. Stop for now..."
After speaking, Lu Heng looked at the little girl next to him, "Xiao Ai!"
"Yes!" The little girl with silver hair and animal ears directly flew up with the dark blue Heavenly Tribulation Sword on her back, landed on the hillside on the side of the road, and looked coldly towards the direction where the baby's cry came from.
If that strange beast is really ferocious and unstoppable, the divine calamity thunder in the sky calamity sword may be unsheathed for the first time.
Not long after Xiao Ai landed on the hillside, everyone in the caravan also heard the crying of the approaching baby, and their faces changed drastically.
Many ferocious beasts and monsters in this wilderness scream like babies. Most of these ferocious beasts are cruel and ferocious and like to eat people. If you are a weak-minded person, you may be confused and lured away by the baby's cry.
It happens that the Rhinoceros Canal in the mountains is said to sound like a baby crying...could it be that Rhinoceros Canal is coming?
Everyone in the caravan hurriedly gathered behind Lu Heng, fearing that they would be alone and attacked.
In the mountains, the wind became more and more violent, and the baby's cry became closer and closer. Only a few dozen breaths later, it actually appeared in the forest not far away!
"Coming!" Lu Heng said solemnly, his dark golden beast eyes staring in that direction, the power of thunder surging in his body, ready to take action at any time.
Under the dark sky, the woods were shaking rapidly due to the strong wind, countless leaves were rustling, and the shrill cries of babies were getting closer and closer.
Seeing that the evil beast running wildly in the mountain had reached the edge of the galloping road, it was only a few feet away from everyone.
Even the merchants on the road could clearly see the terrifying scene of the trees shaking rapidly, hear the heavy footsteps of the beast running wildly, and feel the violent aura of the ferocious beast.
But at that moment when everyone was terrified...
boom--
There was a muffled sound, as if something fell heavily in the forest.
At the same time, the shrill cry of the baby completely disappeared in the mountains and forests.
The forest trees that were shaking due to the violent running of the giant beasts are now calm, and only the rustling of the leaves in the strong wind is still heard.
The terrifying evil beast that has been entrenched here for decades, killed countless merchants, and was killing everyone with fierce flames just now, now seems to have died in the forest in front, and can no longer move forward half a step...
The strange silence lasted for several seconds on the road. The merchants all looked at the Wolf God with respect and fear.
The Wolf God actually didn't do anything and just killed the terrifying Xiqu.
This scene is exactly the same as when Huo Feng glanced at the Wolf God in the inn and vomited blood!
