Evolution starts with fire

Chapter 5

Chiqi Town is not so much a small town as it is a city.

At least that's what Zhang Yan thought.

The ten-meter-high city wall surrounded the entire town, not to mention people, not even flames could fly in.

The outermost area is a dense artificial green belt protection forest, which plays the role of windbreak and sand fixation, and provides a home for the people in the town.

There are tens of thousands of people living in it, and the infrastructure is readily available.

Whether you are tired from practicing or lonely at night, you only need to pick up the small cards scattered on the ground, poke your spiritual consciousness in, bring a little money, and relax yourself at the appointed place.

At this moment, Zhang Yan looked at the city wall in front of him but found himself in trouble.

You said that you are a town in a remote area, why do you make it so tall, could it be that there are wild beasts invading?
How can I go up to a height of ten meters? I think you are making things difficult for me!
Wait, Beast Invasion?
"Jie"'s upper body trembled.

He lost his facial features, couldn't hear sounds, and couldn't see things, but Zhang Yan gained a perception ability.

This ability combines the effects of various senses and has a wider coverage.

Listening carefully, Zhang Yan seemed to hear the sound of "da da da".

"earthquake?"

"No, this is..."

A few seconds passed, and the sound of the soles of the feet hitting the ground became more and more clear.

"Woo... ouch!"

In the dark night, a row of bright red eyeballs were revealed.

Zhang Yan, who was hugging the dead leaves of the green belt to keep warm, stopped what he was doing and stared blankly at the huge monster in front of him.

The eyes are staring like copper bells, the gray fur becomes the best cover for the darkness, the tail hangs down and is caught between the hind legs, and the whining sound... all show the characteristics of a giant.

They are a pack of wolves!
To be exact, a pack of hungry wolves.

Zhang Yan clearly noticed that the hungry wolf's belly was shriveled!
Skinny and skinny, he looked like he had lost his body, and even his tail was drooping.

"It's late at night, hungry wolves don't sleep well, what are they doing here?"

Wolves in the wild rarely attack humans actively, let alone attack human gathering places on such a large scale.

"Could it be..."

Looking at the sky, the night was bleak, and it was late autumn. It seemed that winter would come soon. Zhang Yan had a guess.

Then he looked in the direction of the town, and he knew there was a good show to watch.

……

Sure enough, in less than a minute, the towns that had already had a curfew were brightly lit up.

The outer city walls were full of people, holding torches high, looking solemnly at the wolves underground.

Although the wolves are hungry, they are pack animals after all, and once gathered together, they are still a fighting force that cannot be underestimated.

Different from the wolves on the earth, perhaps nourished by the aura of heaven and earth, the wolves are extremely tall, and a single wolf has the strength to single out two or three wolves that Zhang Yan has seen before.

Looking at the people on the city wall again, he couldn't help sweating.

As a bystander, the little spark on the edge of the green belt did not attract the attention of both sides, but Zhang Yan still hoped that the human side would win.

After all, it is an intelligent species, and it is better for humans to communicate.

At present, Zhang Yan knows nothing about the world he lives in, and he can't wait to go to the city to find some books to fill his empty mind.

……

As the old man whom he had met during the day, Nan Bo seemed to possess extremely high prestige, standing in the middle of the ground above the city wall like a leader.

I saw his old palm slanting slightly, and he was about to speak.

The wolf king of the wolf pack suddenly stepped forward and let out a howl.

After waking up all the sleeping people, it stared into Nan Bo's eyes.

Under Zhang Yan's surprised gaze, the Wolf King said, "You are the boss here, right? I didn't come here to conflict with you."

Nan Bo's frown suddenly loosened, and he laughed a few times, "Oh, let me guess, it's going to be winter, do you want to go to the city to keep warm?"

Chiqi Town has been dealing with wolves for so long. Although Nan Bo has never met the wolf king, he also knows that this is a cunning species.

"Ow~"

"You're not timid. Why should I let you enter the city? Who can guarantee that you won't bite or hurt people when you enter the city?!"

"By this."

The wolf king turned sideways, and a dozen old gray wolves came out.

"They are the heroes of my wolf clan, but they are too old to survive this winter. You can detain them. After they die, whether they die or stay is up to you!"

In order to get the chance to enter the city, the wolf king also spent a lot of money.

The other members of the wolf clan did not refute and lowered their heads, but every wolf had a fierce look in their eyes.

It is a shame to hand over one's own clansmen in exchange for a chance of one's own life!

But they have no choice.

"Even so, I still can't trust you guys. These dozen or so old wolves will die as soon as they die. It's not enough to guarantee that you will behave after entering the city." Nan Bo shook his head.

Hearing that Nan Bo belittled his own kind so much, the wolves in the wolf pack kept whimpering one after another, wishing they could rush up and kill Nan Bo immediately.

"Then what do you want to do?" Wolf King asked in a deep voice.

"Well... this winter, you must be under my surveillance. I am old and just lack a means of transportation."

"Aw! (four beeps)"

Nan Bo's insulting words completely ignited the anger of the wolves. Several wolves couldn't hold their breath. They dug their paws into the soil and dug small holes, splashing the wet soil everywhere.

[Ding, you are attacked by a sandstorm, fire energy point -2]

Several -2 voices almost made Zhang Yan faint.

You like digging dirt so much, you must be Erha!
As a last resort, Zhang Yan could only move his body quietly, and found a few dead leaves covered with rain and dew to attach himself to.

Shrinking to the smallest figure, the dead leaves only have a layer of red light on the edge, which did not attract anyone's attention.

"Okay, I agree."

After struggling for half a minute, the wolf king finally lowered his proud head and slowly approached the city gate.

One step, two steps...

Although the generation of wolf kings is not very famous, there are dozens of hundreds of wolf cubs under his command. In order to protect his offspring, he had to surrender to the enemy and become a means of transportation. One can imagine the blow to the wolf king. The body is bent up.

On the other hand, on the city wall, people cheered and jumped as if they had won a battle.

"How fast are you, haven't you eaten?"

Seeing the wolf king walking so slowly, a gorgeously dressed young man on the city wall couldn't help but shout, as if he was responsible for all this.

The boy's words made the wolf king's body even more bent, so that he became a sitting posture.

Suddenly, Nan Bo felt uneasy, "Something is not right."

"Uncle Nan, what's the matter?" Li Tong, the girl who came to Chiqi Town with Uncle Nan, asked.

"I don't know. In this way, Xiaotong, you can go to the west of the town and have a look. That place is the weakest. I'm worried that it may be dangerous. You have a fifth-level flame protection, and you can save your life at critical moments."

"Oh." Li Tong nodded.

Suddenly, a long wolf howl came from one direction in Chiqi Town.

Like a signal, the wolf king jumped up and ran towards the bright moon in the sky.

"you--"

"It's hit!"
