"Little brother, where are you going?" The little boy's father came out of the house and asked.
"I'm going up the mountain."
"Up the mountain? Aren't you courting death by going up the mountain at this time? " A few more men came out of the room and said in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Ye Chen was a little doubtful, why was he seeking death?
"It's like this. There will be wolves on the south mountain, and a very smart wolf on this mountain. Legends say that it's here that's guarding something. If you go up like this, you'll definitely die." The little boy's father explained.
"But, I must go up. I must find something to save my good friend."
"But …" "Then we'll go with you when it's daylight." The little boy's father said.
Ye Chen laughed and said: "It's fine, I'll go myself. Thank you for your kind intentions."
"Little brother, quickly listen to me! Come in, it's already morning. We'll accompany you up. You've kindly brought our child back, so we can't just watch as you court your own death! Come in, come in!" Xiao Qiang's father pulled Ye Chen's arm, pulling him into the house from outside the door.
Ye Chen could no longer refuse, thus he followed the little boy's parents and a few other men into the house.
"Come, take a seat. I'll go get some food." The little boy's father let Ye Chen sit down.
Honestly speaking, Ye Chen hadn't eaten anything for a whole day, but now that he was told by the little boy's father, he was immediately hungry.
The little boy's father went to the kitchen and brought some peanuts and wine, along with some cooked food. He returned to the back room and placed the food on the table on the kang.
"Come, let's sit together and have a drink." After the little boy's father finished speaking, the other men all sat on the brick bed and surrounded the table. Ye Chen was pulled over to the brick bed by the little boy's father.
It was really comfortable to sit on the kang. The kang was hot under his butt and legs, causing his feet that had been cold outside to heat up.
Everyone gathered around to eat the meat and peanuts on the table. Some of them even raised their cups to drink together.
The father asked, "Young man, I still don't know how to call you."
Ye Chen laughed and said: "My name is Ye Chen, Uncle, you can just call me Chen."
Chen, you seem to be a loyal person. Can you tell me what kind of medicine you are looking for on the mountain? What happened to your friend? "Tell me, even though our village is rather poor, we have a skilled doctor here who might be able to help you."
"Well, if my friend doesn't get treatment soon, he'll probably be paralyzed." Ye Chen thought about Chu Fei’er's condition and could not help but sigh.
"Paralysis? It's that serious? What's going on? "
"This is a long story."
"Then we won't ask. You will stay at my house tonight. Tomorrow morning, we will accompany you up the mountain." The few elders in front of him wanted to help him so much, but Ye Chen had no choice but to agree.
After drinking a few bowls of white spirits with the older people, the older people seemed to have drank a bit too much and started to talk heroic. Ye Chen used the excuse of going to the toilet to walk out of the room and quietly left Xiao Qiang's house.
Ye Chen stood at the door and bowed deeply towards the room. What the society lacked the most right now was human feelings, and tonight, being warmly received by the society, Ye Chen felt a human feelings that he had not felt in a long time, which made his heart feel warm. Adding the bowl of white spirit that he had just drunk, his body was filled with energy, and he turned around to continue walking up the mountain.
While walking, Ye Chen suddenly noticed a few pairs of bright eyes staring at him from the nearby grass. Ye Chen frowned, and quickly walked forward, with a few pairs of eyes still following behind him.
Damn, just as Xiao Qiang's father had said, we've encountered a pack of wolves!
Ye Chen could no longer sit still and wait for death. If that happened, if the wolves suddenly attacked, then he would definitely lose his life.
Ye Chen slowly walked up the mountain. When he passed by every tree, he would pull down a branch, and just happened to spill some wine on his jacket when he was drinking. Thus, Ye Chen took off his jacket, wrapped it around the branch that he had pulled down from the tree a while ago, and ignited it with the fire engine, creating a torch.
The direwolves at the side could only stare at Ye Chen like tigers stalking their prey, and did not attack him.
Ye Chen quickened his pace as he walked towards the top of the mountain, he did not care about how dangerous the road in front of him was, what Ye Chen needed to do now was to obtain the Three Souls and cure Chu Fei’er before he discovered Chu Fei’er's true condition.
Not long after, the light emitted by the torch in Ye Chen's hand became dimmer and dimmer. At this time, Ye Chen also felt that the wolf pack that were staring at him with covetous eyes earlier had started to become lively, following the extinguishing of the torch in Ye Chen's hand, a wolf rushed out from behind Ye Chen. Under the shining of the moonlight, its sharp fangs flashed with a flickering light, and its eyes also emitted a fierce cold light.
A Hungry Wolf directly pounced towards Ye Chen. Ye Chen turned his body to the side, and the Hungry Wolf jumped over Ye Chen's shoulder. After landing on the ground, it turned its head and glared at Ye Chen fiercely.
"Little fellow, what are you looking at?" Ye Chen shouted to the Hungry Wolf, following that, another three wolves appeared behind Ye Chen and pounced towards Ye Chen. Ye Chen was shocked, he quickly ran to a big tree, suddenly took a big step, he directly walked into the tree, with a stomp of his feet, Ye Chen's entire body flew towards the three headed Hungry Wolf that was rushing towards him, his body spun 360 degrees in the air, directly kicking one of them away in the air, the Hungry Wolf that was flying ruthlessly crashed onto a tree, and let out a howl.
Ye Chen landed on the ground, his entire body squatting down on the ground, while the other two Hungry Wolf s that were attacking Ye Chen earlier didn't dare to act rashly, as they stood on the spot, staring at Ye Chen like tigers stalking their prey.
Suddenly, the Hungry Wolf that had charged towards Ye Chen charged towards him again. The two Hungry Wolf s beside him also rushed up with the wolf. Ye Chen nimbly dodged a wolf's attack, then leaped and dodged another wolf's attack.
Ye Chen attacked again in midair. With a chop of his leg, he ruthlessly kicked the other wolf to the ground, causing the Hungry Wolf to twitch on the ground a few times. Fresh blood flowed out of its mouth, and then it stopped moving.
Right now, the injured Hungry Wolf and the other two Hungry Wolf were clearly terrified of Ye Chen. With a howl to the sky, the three Hungry Wolf turned around and entered the grass and left.
Only then did Ye Chen sweat profusely. The wolf's attack speed was extremely fast, which consumed a lot of Ye Chen's physical strength.
Ye Chen took a deep breath. At this time, he felt a hint of pain in his shoulder, so Ye Chen looked, and the fresh blood had already reflected on Ye Chen's white colored t-shirt. He tore off his clothes to see, only to realize that he had been scratched by one of the wolves.
The entire journey was much quieter, and there were no more dangerous animals around him. Ye Chen soon reached the top of the mountain, and saw a tree on the mountain. There seemed to be something shining on the tree, and it seemed that this was the other thing he was looking for, the Hundred Spirit Fruit.
Ye Chen took a big step forward. It seemed that the danger of the Southern Mountain wasn't because of the steep terrain, but because of the environmental danger. Ye Chen easily climbed to the top of the tree and gently plucked a Hundred Spirit Fruit.
Ye Chen looked around. At this time, a snow-white wolf that was reflected under the moonlight was roaring towards the sky. Immediately, around a dozen more wolves appeared on top of the mountain slope and looked over at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was shocked! If they were to fight head on, he would definitely die. Just as he was about to turn around and quickly leave this place, six Hungry Wolf s had already appeared behind him, and were now glaring at Ye Chen. These six wolves were Ye Chen's group.
It seemed like a bloody battle was about to break out. He wanted to use this opportunity to thoroughly familiarize himself with his past abilities.
Ye Chen no longer planned to escape. He half squatted and made a fighting stance, preparing to fight a bloody battle with the wolf pack.
Following the cries of the Hungry Wolf, the six wolves pounced towards Ye Chen. Ye Chen's best option now was to kill the six wolves before the dozen or so wolves reached him.
Ye Chen punched one of them on the abdomen of a Hungry Wolf that was pouncing towards his face, and the Hungry Wolf was immediately sent flying by Ye Chen. Ye Chen punched the other one on the head, and the Hungry Wolf was once again sent flying by Ye Chen, but Ye Chen did not hold back.
The beasts of the wolves were very smart, the four Hungry Wolf were not Ye Chen's match and did not rashly attack. Instead, they surrounded Ye Chen and the ten over wolf companions on the hillside.
Ye Chen felt a trace of unease. He wanted to take the initiative and attack, but the four wolves simply did not give Ye Chen the chance to attack them, they quickly dodged, and when Ye Chen wanted to escape, the other Hungry Wolf s did not even give him the chance to do so. Every time Ye Chen revealed an opening, one of the wolves would quickly attack Ye Chen, and when Ye Chen exposed an opening, his body could only dodge the Hungry Wolf's attack.
Very quickly, the dozens of wolves that were on the mountain slope just now had arrived in front of Ye Chen, while the snow white wolf was still on the mountain slope.
Now, Ye Chen had fifteen Hungry Wolf in front of him, so when it came time to attack from the front, Ye Chen had no chance of winning at all.
"My Patron Saint, come out and help me!" Ye Chen really wanted to borrow the power of his Patron Saint to defeat this group of Hungry Wolf.
"I just used up too much energy to help you get the Sky Spirit Grass, now I can't help you anymore. If you die, I'll die with you."
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly. It was all his fault for being clever, it seemed that he wouldn't be able to find this Patron Saint of his for help until the moment when his life was at stake.
Ye Chen shouted loudly, "Fuck, I have to go all out!"
Fifteen Hungry Wolf pounced towards Ye Chen.
