The sword is the devil

Chapter 132 Distress on the way

The fetching of water lasted for more than an hour, until it was almost noon. Then they will start the most dangerous part of the water fetching. The question of how to go back?
The path to go back is very clear. This is the best choice based on years of experience. It is the most solid road under the heavy load of the ox cart. Although it is nearly half as long as the way to come, Hou Tiao has no objection. He respects these ordinary roads. The wisdom of mortals.

After simply using the dry food, the team set off. The heavy water tanker, even the strong yak, was extremely difficult to drag. When going uphill, people had to push their buttocks desperately, and when going downhill, they had to pull as hard as they could. This is the trouble of the return journey, not only to avoid getting stuck in the mud, but also to find a flat path as far as possible, otherwise no matter whether it is going uphill or downhill, it will consume a lot of physical strength of the yak.

No one sat in the bullock cart anymore, and the whole team was only seven or eight men galloping back and forth on horseback, guarding the high ground along the way to guard against possible wild animals.Hou Tiao didn't ride a horse, so he began to consciously train himself to stay on his legs as much as the elders in Jiangyou Town did. This is also the most important basic skill of sword repair.

A cavalry may be a swordsman, but a swordsman is by no means a cavalry, he has to form a habit and integrate it into his blood and bone marrow.

So far, everything has been going well. Although the Yinling Wasteland is very dangerous, the danger during the day is still limited. The probability of an accident may not be as high as once a month. The big castle will also become a widow's castle.

No one has the strength to speak anymore, and no one dares to rest on the return journey. One fetch of water can last half a month for a family of five. It can also be seen from this that the three sisters-in-law used to take a bath to lure him How much did it cost, this is almost the most precious thing, but it was used by him to play with each other?
At the end of the hour, nearly two hours had passed safely, and more than half of the return journey was gone. At this time, a rider in charge of looking out in the northwest direction suddenly blew a sharp whistle, which was to remind everyone that a herd of beasts was approaching.

Nearly thirty bullock carts quickly piled up together. Obviously, they planned to form a circular defensive circle to deal with the herd of beasts. At the same time, two riders rushed to Xiaoqianbao to report the news. For the current Xiaoqianbao, Every population is precious.

However, the herd of beasts came quite quickly, without probing and delaying, they just came towards the human water fetching team. In a situation like this, there must be monsters sitting in the herd of beasts, otherwise they couldn't be so consistent.

It is a group of Yinling short-tailed wolves, and it is also the species that hates humans the most in the wasteland. They attack for no reason, just because of their bloodthirsty. They are all over the Yinling wasteland and have no fixed territory, so it is difficult to eradicate them.

Seeing that it was too late for the team to form a circular defense, the men on horseback began to charge towards the wolves as a whole team, not wanting to kill many short-tailed wolves, but to buy some time for the people behind; in Yinling, everyone is a hero, Cowards have no room here.

This is a group of medium-sized wolves with three to forty wolves. The leader is a tall and strong monster wolf, several times larger than other short-tailed wolves, who is the leader of this group.

Knowing that he was dead, he could only charge upwards. With the physique of this wolf, even knights in heavy armor would be knocked into the air, let alone ordinary border residents like them.

However, the contact and collision between the two sides did not come, because there was a person who was still running in front of the galloping horse. If endurance was not considered, Hou Tiao's current speed had surpassed that of ordinary horses, and as his skill became more and more profound, the gap It will get bigger and bigger.

The alpha wolf immediately realized that something was wrong, and it was hesitant to continue this attack. There were human monks around, which was a rare situation for it to encounter.

However, there was no time for it to react too much. The human monk accelerated again in the fast movement, and instantly shortened the distance with it. The price of a front paw.

The only luck was that it escaped a blow to the throat.

However, if one leg is lame, it is naturally not flexible enough. The impact on body movement cannot be measured by only one lame leg. Even if the monster is physically strong, its current state cannot be regenerated from a severed limb.

Being restrained and beaten violently by Hou Niao, the only thing that can help it is to call the younger brothers to come up to help.

"Go outside and don't let one go!"

Hou Tiao shouted, the knights who had already understood his identity as a cultivator quickly dispersed to the periphery without hesitation. In the Yinling Wasteland, it is hard to say anything else, but in terms of fighting, they will unconditionally follow the monk's orders. It's the only way for them to survive.

Three to forty ordinary short-tailed wolves rushed desperately towards the waiting cat. In the wilderness, if a wolf pack loses its first wolf, especially the first wolf that has become a monster, the consequences will be very serious. Not only humans treat them The threat to them is greatly increased, that is, other short-tailed wolves also have fatal behaviors against them. The male wolf will be killed, and none of the cubs will survive. Only the female wolves have the possibility of survival.

Under the call of the demon wolf, the wolves would risk their lives, but mortal beasts like them are no longer a threat to practitioners like Hou Niao. The only trouble they may cause is to run away, but cunning human beings take The alpha wolf kept them on a leash.

The battle was bloody but not intense. The demon wolf knew the intentions of the human monks, but it didn't have the slightest idea of ​​dedicating itself to the group. It just wanted to escape under the restraint of the younger brothers.

As a result, until the younger brothers died, it did not find a chance to escape.

Hou Niao slashed out with a sword, beheading the demon wolf under the sword. This kind of battle is not challenging.In the distance, the group of human knights were gathering together, discussing something. He was sure that none of the bobtail wolves had escaped, so what were these guys doing?
After rushing over, a leading knight respectfully said, "My lord, we don't know how many wolf porpoises there are..."

Hou Tiao didn't even look at it, "Kill it, let's go quickly!"

Wolf dolphins are a group of wolves that live in symbiosis with wolves. They are cowardly by nature and live on carrion. They usually go together with wolves. Strictly speaking, they are not wolves. Why can they live in harmony with ferocious wolves? It is also one of the myriad mysteries of nature.

People in Yinling generally don't think they are a threat. For fear of being retaliated by wolves, they will not kill them occasionally, but let them go. This is a habit, but under the cold order of this monk today, no one Dare to question.

There's no reason, it's just cutting grass and roots. His compassion is limited and needs to be used where it is really worthwhile.

After the knights killed the helpless wolf dolphin, they immediately went back to set off as a team, but Hou Tiao didn't go back, but continued to walk forward for a certain distance, shaking hands,

"Fellow Taoist has been watching it for a long time, what can I learn from you?"
