People are in Yaowu, starting from the mountain god panel

Chapter 9
Fifty miles north of Chang'an Town is Hutou Ridge.

No one has set foot here all year round, and even hunters and herb collectors are unwilling to take risks here.

The snow in the mountain forest is as tall as a person, and there is no concept of road here. Ye Changan relied on his magical power [perception] to barely find the way forward.

The old wolf following behind complained dissatisfiedly: "Ouch (what are you doing here when you have nothing to do)?"

Ye Changan: "All the treasures in Erdaogou have been harvested, so we can only come to Hutouling to try our luck."

It is said that ten years ago, someone dug up 300-year-old ginseng in this forest and became rich overnight. Unfortunately, no other mountain people dug up the treasure after that, and gradually no one in Changhe Town wanted to come here again.

Along the way, although I didn't find anything too precious, the harvest was considerable.

The medicinal herbs and mushrooms in Ye Changan's backpack add up to "4" points, which is more than spending a day in Erdaogou.

The old wolf was forcibly dragged here by him, so he was naturally unhappy and complained a lot along the way.

It is the most majestic big brother in the wolf pack, and only in front of Ye Changan will it turn into a nagging person.

"Ho, ho (the little she-wolf was so energetic yesterday)."

"Aww (is that little cub of White Wolf worthy of fighting with me)?"

"Hmph, hum (now I have thirty wolf cubs under my command, and I will have the final say in this forest soon)."

The old wolf was talking happily when suddenly Ye Changan stopped abruptly.

It couldn't react in time and hit Ye Changan's calf with its nose.

"Ugh (what are you doing)?"

"There is something."

Ye Changan's expression was as solemn as ever.

The old wolf followed his gaze and saw something that looked like a child and was jumping around not far away with a ball of grass on its head.

It lowered its voice: "Roar (why are there human children here)?"

"This thing is not human!"

Ye Changan used his magical power [Perception] to see much more clearly than the old wolf. The monster that looked like a child was covered in hair and had only one eye!
"what's this?"

His thoughts were racing in his mind, and it was the first time in this world that he encountered such a strange existence.

The old wolf had no reason to think of the story he had heard from the previous generation of wolf kings. The monster in the story seemed to be the thing in front of him.

Two words "mountain boy" popped into its mind!
Ye Changan had a spiritual connection with Lao Lang and instantly understood the identity of this monster.

There are also legends about mountain boys in previous lives. This monster, also known as mandrill, grows in deep mountains and old forests. It has a lively personality, loves to play tricks on mountain people, and is good at spreading plagues.

He had long known that there were monsters in this world, but his heart was still racing when he encountered one for the first time.

However, the mountain boy didn't seem to notice Ye Changan and the old wolf, and continued to skip towards the depths of the mountain forest.

"It's better not to provoke."

Ye Changan muttered and planned to turn around and leave with the old wolf.

Just as he turned around, he suddenly saw a string of numbers "10" popping up above Shantong's head.

He looked at his Thick Earth Spirit Points again, which was "13".

A bold idea came to his mind.

The mountain boy is a child at heart, rolling around in the snow.

Just when he was having fun, he saw a lame wolf not far away.

The mountain boy let out a horrifying laugh. If a child heard this, he would probably not be able to sleep for at least three days.

"Quack, quack (capture and use as a mount)!"

As if thinking of something fun, the mountain boy danced with joy.

It lunged forward with astonishing speed.

Fortunately, the old wolf's body had also been strengthened by the spirit of the mountain spirit, so he reacted quickly and jumped back to avoid the mountain boy's blow.Seeing that the attack failed, the mountain boy became even more interested and hit the old wolf with his fist as big as a sandbag.

The fist wind is roaring and the power is endless!
Just as a demon and a wolf were entangled, Ye Changan suddenly burst out from under the snow, catching the mountain boy off guard.

The mountain boy was timid and wanted to run away, but stopped when he saw it was a human being.

"Quick, quack (I'm angry)."

Ye Changan's fist accurately hit Shantong's middle door.

There was only a stabbing sound like ice melting in a fire.

The mountain boy was punched away and kept wailing.

"Quack, quack (there's something wrong with this human being)."

It got up and wanted to run away, but Ye Changan could just get around it, flew over and threw the mountain boy down with another round of punches.

In the end, the mountain boy had a nosebleed and passed out. Only then did he stop.

A green light flashed in Ye Changan's eyes and he shouted lowly.

"Beast control!"

The palm covered with light green light touched the mountain boy's forehead.

The spirit of the mountain spirit was quickly injected into the mountain boy's body, and the mountain boy gradually showed a painful expression.

After about a quarter of an hour, the mountain boy's only big eye opened with a grunt.

Then the memory belonging to it appeared in Ye Changan's mind.

It turns out that mountain boys are born and raised, but this mountain boy is only three hundred years old. At this age, in the world of mountain boys, he can only be regarded as a baby.

"No wonder it's so weak"

This is also true. The strength of an adult mountain boy can reach a hundred points of thick earth spirit, which is far beyond what Ye Changan can deal with.

The most critical reason why Ye Changan was able to easily defeat this mountain boy was the suppression of the bloodline of the mountain spirit.

The mountain spirit's level is much higher than that of the mountain boy, so his attacks are equivalent to punches and critical strikes.

If an ordinary ninth-level warrior took action, he would probably be knocked down by the mountain boy in front of him in less than ten rounds.

In fact, human warriors are at a disadvantage against monsters of the same level, and can only be suppressed through stronger martial arts.

Therefore, the Daxuan Kingdom could only evacuate the residents of the Great Demon Drought Demon that appeared in the north because it was really unable to defeat it.

The mountain boy's eyes widened as he felt the blood of the mountain essence emanating from the human body in front of him.

Only then did he suddenly realize that the human beings in front of him were clearly mountain spirits wearing human skins.

"Quack, quack (big brother, accept the bow from the younger brother)!"

This mountain boy often hides near the village and eavesdrops on the scholars telling stories, and he is not familiar with these etiquette.

Ye Changan had black lines on his forehead.

"Why does it sound more and more like a gangster?"

He waved his hand to the arrogant mountain boy and said, "Big brother, just be the big brother. Remember to let me know if you find any treasures in the mountains in the future."

It was getting late, so Ye Changan left Shantong in Hutou Ridge and took Old Wolf down the mountain to leave.

After returning home, Ye Changan and Ye Rouer drank stick noodles and added a lot of dried rabbit meat.

After eating, he was going to sleep as usual, when he suddenly received a message from the mountain boy in his mind.

"Boss, there's something good. I'll put it in the usual place."

So fast. Ye Changan was stunned, he put on his coat and walked out of the town.

The so-called old place was actually the tree where Old Wolf kept the pheasants. When he came under the tree, he saw a long thing full of roots.
"I just said casually, this is too efficient."
