Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

"Brother Houyi, do you have any other instructions?"

Houyi handed the map drawn on the stone in his hand to the clan leader and the priest.

"Brother Houyi, according to the map, the place with the most spiritual energy should be this forest, followed by the inside of the canyon." The patriarch pointed to several marks on the map.

"I think brother Houyi's idea is correct. The spiritual energy in this forest is very abundant." The priest agreed with Houyi's suggestion.

"Well, let's follow his plan." The patriarch said helplessly.

"Then let's go. Everyone is exhausted during this period. Let's go and rest quickly."

Houyi led his people into the depths of the forest.

On the road, we constantly encountered herds of beasts, wild wolves and other ferocious animals.

But they were all easily solved by Houyi and others.

"Brother Houyi, look, there is a fire in the woods ahead." Suddenly, the priest exclaimed.

Everyone looked in the direction the priest's finger pointed, and indeed, they saw a raging fire burning in front of them.

"Could it be that some powerful creature lives here?" the patriarch guessed.

"Let's go and take a look, maybe he can help us find the treasure." Houyi said with shining eyes.

Then, he quickened his pace and moved closer and closer, until he finally saw clearly the figure standing next to the fire.

They were two men, tall and burly, with bronze skin, sharp cheeks, slightly pursed lips, sharp and deep eyes, and a suffocating sense of oppression.

The two of them didn't seem to notice Houyi and others who had come behind them.

It was not until Houyi coughed twice to remind them that the two of them turned their heads abruptly.

When they saw Hou Yi, their eyes sparkled with a strange light, and then they smiled and said in unison: "So it's Brother Hou Yi."

After the two men finished speaking, Houyi and others knew who they were.

"It turns out it's you two. I've long heard of your great names." Houyi clasped his fists towards the two men and replied.

"Haha, Brother Houyi, you are too polite. You are a hero of our race." After saying this, Bo Yikao patted his head and said suddenly, "Oh, yes, I forgot to introduce my brother Bo Yikao. Brother Bo Yikao, this is the Houyi I was talking about with you."

"Brother Houyi is truly a young hero. Despite his young age, he has achieved so much. He will surely be remembered for generations to come." Bo Yikao praised.

"Brother Bo Yikao, thank you for your praise. I dare not accept it." Houyi said modestly.

"Haha, brother Houyi's humble attitude is very much to my liking. If you need anything in the future, just tell me, Bo Yikao. I will never shirk my responsibility if I can do it." Bo Yikao said cheerfully.

"Brother Bo Yikao is really loyal. If you have any trouble in the future, I will definitely bother you." Houyi said solemnly.

"Well, brother Houyi, I heard that you are going to organize a hunting team to explore this forest. Is this true?" Bo Yikao asked.

"It is true. Not only that, I plan to tell everyone about this and let everyone participate in this great cause." Houyi nodded seriously.

"Brother Houyi, I, Bo Yikao, admire your broad-mindedness. Since you have such a great ambition, I cannot hold you back. I will pass the order down now to gather all the soldiers and accompany you to this forest." Bo Yikao vowed.

"Thank you so much, brother Bo Yikao." Houyi said sincerely.

"Brother Houyi, there's no need to thank me." Bo Yikao waved his hand and said with a smile.

Afterwards, Houyi took Bo Yikao away from the tribe and summoned all the warriors of the tribe to gather in the tribal square.

These warriors were all brave men selected from various tribes. Each of them was wearing armor, holding a weapon, and lined up in neat rows. They were majestic and awe-inspiring, which was shocking.

Hou Yi glanced at the soldiers around him, nodded with satisfaction, and shouted: "Fellow soldiers, I called you here today because I have a mission for you."

Everyone listened quietly as Houyi continued his story.

"I believe everyone should know that the human race has been invaded by demons and is now in danger, but how can we humans just sit there and wait for death? So I decided to organize a hunting team to find the secret of this forest."

"I hope you guys will lead the team to this forest this time. I will arrange for someone to assist you. If you have any questions, please inform me in time."

"Brother Houyi, aren't you leading the team yourself?" Bo Yikao asked doubtfully.

"I must protect my people." Houyi said firmly.

"In that case, let me lead the team." Bo Yikao said.

"Okay, I will contact my tribe members right away. The hunting team will set out in about half a month." Houyi said.

"Okay, then brother Houyi, we will not disturb your opportunity to reunite with your clansmen. Goodbye." Bo Yikao said with a fist salute.

"Goodbye." Houyi bowed in return.

After seeing Bo Yikao off, Houyi returned to his tribe.

The people in the tribe had already prepared food and were waiting for Houyi to return.

"Children, it's time to eat." Houyi laughed heartily.

Everyone cheered and after eating and drinking their fill, they returned to their rooms to rest.

As night fell, Hou Yi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He was now full of thoughts. Thinking of what he had just said, he could not help but say bitterly: "Hey, am I a liar?"

The next morning, Houyi got up early, packed his things and set off.

Houyi led his people to leave the tribe and head towards the mysterious forest.

“Brother Houyi, are there a lot of monsters in this forest? I’m scared.” Bai Suzhen grabbed Houyi’s clothes and said timidly.

"Suzhen, don't worry. With me here, no one dares to hurt you." Houyi said gently.

After Houyi finished speaking, he touched her hair and comforted her.

Houyi not only had to comfort Bai Suzhen, but also had to calm the fears of all his tribesmen.

After all, this hunting team exists for the human race. Without them, there would be no future for the human race.

"Houyi, you lead everyone and walk in the front. If you encounter a monster, notify your tribesmen immediately and don't try to be reckless." Bo Yikao instructed.

"Yes, I know." Houyi agreed, and then led everyone to run quickly towards the forest.

The outskirts of the forest are covered with dense jungle, with lush branches and leaves that block out the sun. Occasionally, a few wild flowers bloom quietly, adding a touch of beauty.

There are no monsters roaming around in the forest's outskirts. It is very peaceful and tranquil. The air is filled with a faint fragrance that makes people intoxicated.

Suddenly, the bushes in front shook, and it seemed that a huge monster came out from it, blocking the way.

Upon seeing this, Houyi immediately sounded the alarm.

Accompanied by bursts of roaring sounds, countless black shadows rushed out of the forest and pounced on the crowd at an extremely fast speed, arriving in an instant.

"Shoot with bows and arrows and kill the enemies." Houyi shouted.

The sound of arrows breaking through the air was heard, and a rain of arrows flew over like an overwhelming force, instantly killing the monsters rushing over, and blood splattered everywhere.

After being hit by arrows, these monsters howled in pain and attacked frantically, but their attacks were ineffective. Under the penetration of the arrows, they were unable to hinder Hou Yi and his men's progress.

At this moment, suddenly, bursts of wolf howls were heard in the distance, followed by countless huge wolves soaring into the sky and rushing towards the crowd.

"Everyone keep your voices down, wolves are attacking, be careful to hide your bodies." Houyi shouted loudly.

Wolves have a keen sense of smell, they can easily smell the scent of humans, and catch the traces left by humans and track them down. Wolves are extremely ferocious, savage and cruel, their claws can pierce human skin, tear flesh, bite off throats, and devour human lives.

"Ouch."

The wolf king howled towards the sky, his voice was sharp and miserable, as if he was calling his companions.

The howling of wolves continued, and more and more wolves came from all directions to join the battle.

Humans are physically weak, and even though they have armor to protect themselves, they are still no match for wolves.

The wolf's claws are extremely sharp and can pierce human flesh, tear bones, and even bite off the head.

There were too many wolves, and Hou Yi and his men were in trouble.

“My fellow tribesmen, follow me closely and protect yourselves. We must not retreat.” Hou Yi roared.

After all, humans’ physical strength was far inferior, and gradually they could not resist.

Seeing that the crowd was about to collapse, Houyi became very anxious.

“My fellow tribesmen, follow me and rush out. We cannot die here. Our ancestors are protecting us with their lives. We must protect the human race for them and go back alive.” Houyi roared.

After Houyi finished speaking, he led his people into the depths of the forest.

They were extremely fast and soon left the pursuers behind them behind.

But they dared not relax, because the dangers in the forest were even greater and they could lose their lives if they were not careful.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Houyi felt exhausted and his entire body ached, so he stopped and took a rest on the spot.

"Chief, we are exhausted. Let's take a break." Bai Suzhen approached Houyi and said.

"Well, let's rest here for a while." Houyi said.

After resting for a while, Houyi asked his tribesmen to reorganize the team.

"Chief, it's no use for us to keep running like this. We must find a way back to the tribe, otherwise we will be eaten by wolves sooner or later." Bo Yikao said.

Houyi nodded, indicating that he agreed with Bo Yikao's proposal. They really needed to find a way out so as to avoid death, otherwise they would surely die.

"Chief, look over there." Bo Yikao said in surprise, pointing to the grass in front.

Houyi looked up and his face changed slightly because there were human footprints on the grass.

Following the footprints, Houyi's face was gloomy, because he saw two bodies lying on the ground, without any sign of life, and must have been dead.

"They are our people." Bo Yikao recognized the footprints. He had taught his descendants a lesson before, telling them not to cause trouble in the future.

"Let's go and check the situation." Houyi said.

Houyi and his people walked forward to carefully examine the corpse and found that the body was covered with marks of swords and knives, and the chest was collapsed, obviously dying from damage to internal organs.

"Looking at these injuries, they must have died three to five days ago." Houyi frowned.

"Chief, they must have been eaten by wolves, otherwise how could they leave such obvious footprints? Moreover, these wolves are very powerful. They must have been ambushed and killed by the wolves." Bo Yikao speculated.

"No matter what the reason is, now that we are here, we should rescue them." Houyi's tone was firm and unshakable.

Everyone nodded.

Hou Yi ordered: "Look around to see if there are any rivers or streams nearby."

"Yes, Chief." The tribesmen answered in unison and dispersed.

Soon, Houyi and others found two skeletons by the stream. They were obviously washed ashore by the stream and then eaten to death by wild beasts.

"It seems that they were killed by wild beasts. It's so sad that they died at the hands of animals." Bo Yikao sighed.

"Who is it?" Suddenly, Houyi noticed a voice not far away and asked immediately.

"It's me."

As soon as he finished speaking, two young men walked out slowly. They were tall and strong, wearing armor and carrying weapons. They were warriors of the Houyi tribe, named Ada and Brunner.

"Why don't you stay in the tribe? Why do you come here? Aren't you afraid of danger?" Houyi scolded.

"Chief, we want to reunite with you." Brenner said.

"Chief, why do you look so pale? Are you injured?" Ada asked worriedly.

After hearing what Ada said, Houyi realized that his face was extremely pale, his lips were dry and peeling, and his forehead was sweating.

"It's okay, let's set off quickly and return to the tribe as soon as possible to avoid being targeted by wild beasts." Houyi urged.

The crowd continued to move forward, but due to the threat of the wolves, the army slowed down, and in the end even Houyi and Bo Yikao were injured.

"Chief, look ahead." Bo Yikao suddenly exclaimed.

When everyone looked at it, their faces suddenly changed.

Because there was a dense jungle ahead, the trees blocked out the sun and it was almost pitch dark. The vision was severely affected, making people irritable and uneasy.

"There's something strange here. How could the wolves suddenly disappear?" Houyi asked vigilantly.

"Could it be that the wolves hid because they encountered danger?" Bo Yikao guessed.

Hou Yi thought about it, then shook his head and said, "It's impossible. The wolves are cunning and fierce. If they encounter a strong enemy, they will not be able to escape, unless they are in danger and the wolf king is forced to hide."

"Patriarch, look."

Suddenly, Bo Yikao pointed to the left.

Everyone turned around and gasped, their pupils suddenly contracted, because they saw a dense pack of wolves standing in the valley on the left, the number of which was simply horrifying.

The wolf king stood among them, his eyes flashing with green ferocity and full of desire to kill, which was extremely terrifying.

"This is the wolf king's lair. All the wolves have gathered here. It looks like they are about to launch an attack." Houyi murmured.

"The Wolf King is very powerful and possesses extraordinary strength. We cannot defeat him." Bo Yikao whispered.

"Chief, what should we do now?" asked Bai Suzhen beside him.

"Give up, let's evacuate from here." Houyi made the decision without hesitation.

His premonition told him that he could not fight with the Wolf King, otherwise his life would be in danger. Although he was unwilling to do so, there was nothing he could do.

The wolf king roared loudly, and the wolves immediately surrounded Houyi and his men.

The number of wolves increased, forming a circle and trapping Houyi and his men.

"Chief, what should we do now?" Bo Yikao asked in panic.

"Don't be afraid, we will leave from the right." Houyi pulled Bo Yikao and ran towards the woods on the right.

"Chief, look quickly, the wolves' target doesn't seem to be us." Bo Yikao said in surprise.

"Yes, their target is Houyi. It seems that the Wolf King hates him to the core." Bai Suzhen said with a smile.

"Let's see how he dies this time." Bo Yikao said excitedly. (End of this chapter)
