Chapter 5 The War of the Wolves

"Go east!"

Derek asked in amazement, "Did Wang really decide to go to the east to heal his wounds? We don't know much about that mysterious land in the east?"

"This king thinks that Scotta's proposal is good. The heavens and the fairy world have basically kept no contact with each other. They are in charge of the three worlds and six realms in the east and west. Even if the heavens finally know that the king is in the east, it is impossible to go all out to find the king. As for I don’t know much about it, but I’ll get used to it when I get involved. Let’s make a decision like this!” Edreyson said decisively.

Then he raised his head and said to the four apostles: "Even if the king leaves the Demon Realm, he still has to guard against the intrusion from the heavens. So Costa, Herman, this time you two will go to the east with the king to heal your wounds. Derek, Austin , you stay in the Demon Realm to take precautions, and protect the Demon Realm for this king.”

"Yes!" The four apostles replied respectfully.

"Also!" Edreyson thought for a while and continued: "This time we go to the East as mortals, and hide the magic power on our bodies. The King Ren Ben of the Eastern Immortal Realm has met before, and they said The law is profound and unpredictable, so don't push yourself when you go to their territory this time, and act in a low-key manner."

"The subordinate understands that the subordinate must arrange all the matters. After the king arrives, he can just heal his injuries with peace of mind." Costa replied.

"Derek, you and Herman discuss the method of communication between us. You can also choose a few smart elves who can deceive people's eyes and ears to deliver messages. You can think about the specifics."

"Yes!"

"Austin, make defensive deployments!"

"Yes!"

Edreyson seemed a little tired after he finished his explanation. He leaned on the throne, put his hand on his forehead and said, "Okay, you guys go get ready now! Also, remember to keep the matter of my king's serious injury a secret. Let them speculate!"

The four apostles then withdrew.

Edreson sat on the throne and did not leave.

He raised his hand to gather his strength, but then gave up, looking at the corners of his palm and mouth slightly raised.

The four of them must be wondering why they were injured so badly, right?

Indeed, it was impossible for Raphael's sword to injure himself so severely.

"Heh!" Edreyson laughed helplessly, thinking to himself: "The four of them must not be able to believe that this injury was caused by the king himself!"

But the figure of the angel who popped out suddenly appeared in his mind. That girl should be a newborn angel, and she couldn't bless the power bestowed by their lord.

So clumsy but still dare to rush towards him, no!It should be rushing towards Raphael, he remembered her calling "Raphael!".

After hearing the cry, he looked up and saw her eyes, those brown eyes were bright and clear.

Just like the pool of clear water he had seen in the deep mountains and valleys a long time ago, it was untainted and clean.

It was those eyes that made him lose his mind for a moment. At that time, the power gathered in his palm was enough to kill any angel except the archangel.

But in that moment of distraction, there was a trace of reluctance in his heart. The moment he struck out with his palm, he forcibly took away [-]% of the power in his palm.

As a result, he was backlashed by his own strength, not to mention hurting himself, and Raphael took the opportunity to stab himself with a sword.

It was the first time in my life that I suffered such a serious injury, but I was still injured by myself!
Thinking of this, Edreyson couldn't help laughing helplessly.

He was used to being free and easy in this life, and he didn't care too much about his injuries. Instead, he thought of that stupid angel, and hoped that she could withstand his two layers of strength, so that she wouldn't die just like that.

Edreyson didn't realize that there was a trace of tenderness in his usually stern smile at this moment, which he didn't even notice.

O reckless and clumsy angel, where would you be now if you had not perished?
……

The night in the desert is quiet and soft. The wind that blows on the face does not have the feeling of scorching heat during the day, but it is refreshing with a touch of coldness.

It was late at night, and Ran'er, who was not sleepy, walked out of the tent and sat on a pile of sundries beside the caravan camp.

She looked up at the night sky, and the stars all over the sky were a scene she had never seen in the heaven.

A faint purple-white light band spans the entire night sky, and the stars are constantly twinkling, densely embedded in the distant night. This little light and the purple-white light band shine together, as if they are constantly flowing in the night sky.

Ran'er looked at the starry sky, recalling everything that happened after coming to the world.

Along the way, everyone in the caravan was very friendly to her.

Especially Xia Yun, who cared and accompanied her in every possible way, and her brother Xia He, who arranged for her in every detail, made Ran'er feel that such a desert trip was not difficult.

Xia He—the man in Tsing Yi who rescued her from the whip of a horse bandit.

He is Xia Yun's elder brother and the leader of the caravan.

Perhaps because of his long-term business, his skin is not fair, his green clothes, black hair, black jade-like eyes under his thick eyebrows seem to see through the world, his tall nose and slightly thin lips make him stand out even more.

Although he gave everyone a very serious feeling, after a few days of contact, Ran'er knew that he was a gentle and modest gentleman, and he was thinking of the people around him in everything.

And the manager——Uncle Zhang.

His medical skills are really good. After he used silver needles to diagnose and treat himself a few times, the injury has not occurred until now. Apart from feeling weak all over the body and unable to exert force, he has no pain and can even walk slowly. Up a few steps.

But Uncle Zhang told her that now he is only temporarily sealing his blood with silver needles, but this is not a long-term solution, but it is the best way for now.

When asked about his specific situation, Uncle Zhang just shook his head and sighed.

Ran'er also knew that the wounds caused by the demon king, no matter how mortals in the world can heal them, it is very rare to be able to control them.

But how can this body recover?How can I return to heaven?
In the past, how much I wanted to take a look around the world, but now I am here, but under this starry night sky, I miss the heaven...

"What are you thinking? It's so late and you're still sitting here in a daze!"

A clear voice interrupted Ran'er's thoughts.Only then did Ran'er realize that Xia He was standing beside her at some point.

"I'm homesick, but I can't go back! I miss my family, but where are they?" Ran'er's voice was full of unspeakable sadness.

"Alas!" Xia He sighed, looked at the starry sky and said, "Ran'er, have you heard of it?"

Before Ran'er could reply, he continued: "It is said that after our relatives die, they will turn into stars in the sky, and then guard the relatives who remain in the world every night."

"Really?" Ran'er asked suspiciously.

Doesn't a person have a soul after death?

Shouldn't one be reincarnated to experience the path of reincarnation?

Turn into a star?

"This is people's good wishes, and they place their thoughts on their loved ones."

Ran'er understood that Xia He was trying to comfort herself, but... various thoughts made Ran'er not know how to answer Xia He's words, so she could only look into the distance in silence.

Looking at it, I saw a few green stars on the sand dunes in the distance, huh?No, why are there stars on the dunes?green?

"Xiahe, look at those green glowing dots, are the stars falling from the sky?" Ran'er raised her hand and pointed towards the sand dunes.

Xia He looked in the direction Ran Er pointed.

day!
Where are the stars, it is clearly a group of desert wolves!

"Ran'er, we have encountered a pack of wolves, you should go back to the tent!" Xia He confessed in a deep voice.

"No way, wolves!" Ran'er exclaimed in surprise.

Yesterday, Chen Sheng and Guard Chen of the caravan said that encountering desert wolves is more terrifying than encountering sandstorms.

Eight years ago, when he first joined a caravan to cross the desert, they encountered a pack of desert wolves. It was a fierce battle, and half of the caravan was killed or injured.

Chen Sheng desperately picked out the wolf's mouth and cut off one of its ears before he escaped from the wolves' siege. However, Chen Sheng left two deep red paw prints on his left cheek and neck, which could not be erased. .

Hearing Ran'er's exclamation, Xia He comforted: "Ran'er, don't be afraid, go back to the tent slowly, there is fire in the camp, these wolves are still watching, and they may not attack us."

At this time, the guards on duty apparently also spotted the wolves on the sand dunes in the distance. The guards of the caravan gathered towards Xiahe with weapons in their hands, while the others gathered around the fire in the camp. Everyone was nervous. looking at the pack of wolves on the dunes.

Encountering such a situation, Ran'er never thought of going back to the tent to hide honestly, she is a majestic angel, no matter how bad she is, she won't be able to hide.

She wants to see how ferocious and terrifying the desert wolves are.

Seeing that Ran'er didn't move, Xia He rushed to him in a panic, still yelling: "Brother! Brother! What happened? Why did everyone come out?"

Xia He stared at the sand dunes in the distance, and said seriously in a low voice: "You two, hurry back to the camp!"

Xia Yun didn't know what to do, "What's going on?"

Why are you all so nervous, waking yourself up in the middle of the night, Xia Yun asked while looking in the direction Xia He was looking at.

I saw pairs of green eyes on the sand dunes begin to move, one pair, two pairs, three pairs...

It can already be clearly seen that one by one black spots are slowly approaching them, while the black spots in the distance are still gathering, gathering more and more.

Xia Yun had already hid behind Xia He in panic, "Brother, it's a pack of wolves! What should I do, there are so many wolves!"

Suddenly, ah... woo... ah... The sound of woo woo pierced the silence under the night sky. After hearing this, the wolves in the desert became restless and kept surrounding the camp.

On the sand dunes in the distance, a larger wolf sat on it, defying the panicked people in the camp. It howled lowly from time to time, and every time it uttered, the pack of wolves would change positions, and the black spot had turned into a wolf. , completely surrounded the camp.

At this time, Xia He was also extremely anxious, frowning as if he was thinking of a good countermeasure.

A thin wolf in the wolf pack slowly leaned out, tentatively moving towards the caravan.

At this time, one of the caravan guards suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and jumped up.

The target was of course the wolf that had escaped from the pack on the ground. The wolf didn't look up at all, as if it didn't know the danger from the sky. Easily dodged this fatal blow.

When the man fell to the ground, the wolf turned over suddenly, pointed its soft belly at the point of the guard's knife, and then curled up into a ball.

Seeing this, the guard didn't hesitate to hit the wolf's abdomen with a knife.

However, the wolf's taut body suddenly bounced, and it easily avoided the blow, but its hind leg kicked the guard's belly precisely and meaninglessly, and opened its mouth wide at the same time. The neck is sent to the wolf's mouth.

The guard was not a fuel-efficient lamp either, he shrank back, swung his knife and slashed at the wolf's nose again.

But the knife still missed nothing, and the wolf took advantage of the momentum to leap forward and bit the guard's neck again.

It was too late, but soon, a blue figure flew across the sky, only to hear the wolf's scream, and the whole body flew out.

Then he staggered and returned to the pack of wolves in a panic. The two wolves around him rubbed its face to show comfort.

Seeing this scene, Ran'er was terrified.

I didn't expect that a mere looking thin wolf could have such a lethal power.

That kind of speed attack, that kind of lightning strike, is too terrifying.

If it wasn't for Xia He's attack, the guard would have either died or been injured.

It is clear.

This wolf is just testing, if they attack in groups, Ran'er can't imagine, everyone in the caravan can't imagine...

"Goo-beep-!"

Growing up so big, it was the first time for Xia Yun to hear herself swallowing saliva so loudly, she almost cried.

Seeing the wolves surrounded, Xia He said to Xia He who had just rescued the guards who fought fiercely with the wolves and retreated to his side: "What should we do? Brother, we...we...we are all surrounded, what should we do?"

Xia Yun seemed to have felt that the wolf's front legs rested on her shoulders, and her legs seemed to have taken root, and she couldn't take a step forward.

Now even if she wanted to go back to the camp fire, it was obviously impossible.

Xia He didn't bother to answer her, frowned, squinted his eyes and told the guards around him solemnly: "Everyone be on guard, no one can act rashly without my order!"

The two sides were deadlocked like this.

It seemed that the wolves were not afraid of the fire and did not dare to attack, but were waiting for the order of the wolf king sitting on the dune.

"This wolf king is very smart!" Chen Sheng, the captain of the caravan guard, thought in amazement.

Recalling the encounter with the wolves eight years ago, it is obvious that this time the situation is more severe.

A mere wolf has already forced his brother to retreat steadily. Even if he is not afraid of life and death, he probably cannot stand out from the wolves and kill the wolf king sitting on the sand dune.

Looking at the helpless crowd, a thought flashed in Ran'er's mind.

Maybe……

"I'll try it!" Ran'er said softly to Xia He, then raised her feet and walked slowly towards the pack of wolves in front of her.

"What are you doing, come back quickly!" Xia He said impressively.

However, it was too late to stop Ran'er's shocking move.

Seeing someone slowly approaching them, a strong gray wolf rushed out from the pack. It made a "whoop" sound, its hair was standing upside down, its body was leaning back, its front paws Insert deep into the sand.

It seemed that at any time, he could pounce on him and bite off Ran'er's neck.

Every time Ran'er took a step forward, Xia He felt his heart beat a little faster. He wanted to get up and bring Ran'er back, but he was worried that his movement would cause the pack of wolves to attack.

Xia He could only clenched his fists tighter and tighter, watching Ran Er keep approaching the big gray wolf...

Ran'er was dressed in white, and walked in front of Gray Wolf with a devout expression.

She knelt down on the sand, put her hands on her chest, and said kindly and tenderly: "Relax, we don't have any malicious intentions, it's good not to hurt each other. Actually, we can be friends."

The gray wolf still let out a low howling sound of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo".

Ran'er has been looking at it with gentle and loving eyes, and has maintained such a kneeling posture, and the breath exhaled from their mouths are intertwined.

Chen Sheng watched with cold sweat on his forehead, the gray wolf could bite off Ran'er's neck just by looking up.

Hearing its angry low howl, and seeing its unfriendly appearance, it seemed that it was about to raise its head and bite off Ran'er's neck.

Ran'er showed no fear at all, still looking at it devoutly and tenderly, one man and one wolf stared at each other quietly.

Ran'er felt an inexplicable emotion from the breath of the gray wolf.

Threat?

Scared?
Hate?

"Have you ever been hurt by humans?" Ran'er asked softly, "So you want to attack us, but you have the fear of being hurt before? Please believe me, okay? I won't hurt you, I really want to be friends with you!"

Although Ran'er can't use the power of God to communicate freely with Gray Wolf, Gray Wolf still seems to understand Ran'er's meaning.

Its attitude is also slowly changing. The howling sound gradually becomes smaller and becomes a "snoring" panting sound. The upside-down fur gradually calms down and becomes soft and smooth. The sharp claws inserted in the sand He also put it away, and there was no fierce look in his eyes.

It began to tilt its head to look at Ran'er.

Everyone in the caravan looked at the scene in disbelief. Everything that happened just now was too weird.

what's the problem?

Cold sweat had already soaked Xia Yun's skirt. She didn't understand how Ran'er, who was covered in injuries and looked weak, did all this.

At this moment, Ran'er stretched out his right hand in front of his chest, put it on Gray Wolf's head, and said sincerely: "Can you give up attacking us? This will only cause more damage to both of us!" Really, we will never hurt you!"

At this time, the wolf king sitting on the sand dune suddenly raised his head and howled, as if he was declaring to everyone that he was the real overlord of the vast desert.

After hearing the sound, Gray Wolf also raised his head and let out a long howl.

The wolves also howled in harmony with the sound, and the sound echoed in the vast desert for a long time.

Xia Yun was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he grabbed Xia He's arm tightly, almost falling down.

The wolves stopped howling.

The roar of the wolf king came from the sand dunes again.

Ran'er slowly stood up and looked at the wolf king from a distance, and she understood that it was them communicating over a long distance.

The gray wolf beside him uttered a "woo woo" sound to Ran'er, although he didn't know what it meant.

But Ran'er knows that the gray wolf and the pack of wolves have no hostility towards her now...
