Wolf King

Yu walked a few steps and stood at Hongye's place, tilted his head and listened carefully for a while, then shook his head blankly: "No?"

"I can't hear you right now." Hongye said uncertainly, "...forget it, maybe I misheard, how could there be someone here. Yu, what did you just say?"

"Oh, I said—"

The positions of his two stations were facing the direction of the cave. When Yu turned his head to speak, a gust of wind came from east to west, passed through the cave at the lower belly of the cliff, and blew towards the two people who hadn't walked away.

"?!"

Yu and Hongye stared at the dark cave with wide eyes at the same time, they smelled the smell of blood coming from the wind!

The two snow werewolf fighters rushed into the cave at the same time without any communication——Ayun and the two adult tribesmen were on the beach behind. If there were dangerous or dangerous creatures around the beach, they could find them out in advance.

This piece of cliff protruding from the sea is not high, but the area is wide. The naturally formed cave is very deep, and there is no light after entering a few meters. As the two snow werewolf fighters went deeper, the bloody smell brought by the wind became stronger and stronger. The smell was more and more mixed, as if there were many people fighting in the other side of the cave.

Climbing and jogging in the depths of the narrow cave for a few minutes, wading through the stagnant water at the bottom, the space in front of them gradually opened up, and after going around several bends, Yu and Hongye finally saw the source of the bloody smell... The two Qiqi gasped, looked at each other, quickly got down on the ground, and hid in the cave to peek outside.

The exit of the cave, and the other side of the cliff, is another long coastline. Five big boats with tattered sails are stranded on the beach, and the hulls are obviously tilted. There are still a lot of cargo boxes that are probably moved from the ship in the camp.

If this is just a stranded boat resting here, it’s fine, the inner sea is a lush sea trade route... But judging from the situation seen by the two snow werewolf warriors, it’s not that simple: on the beach at the moment, the simple A bloody battle was going on in the open space in front of the camp. On one side was the crew who relied on the cargo box as a cover and kept yelling, and on the other side were two elves.

It stands to reason that the number of elves is at an absolute disadvantage, but...they are clearly the winners in this battle. The crew composed of humans and orcs is not their opponent at all, and they are defeated steadily. The cargo box swam desperately, but from time to time, one or two crew members screamed of being chopped and killed...

Hongye lowered her voice very low, almost like exhaling: "Why did the elves fight with the caravan?"

Yu shook his head slightly: "Hongye, look behind them."

Hongye shifted her gaze to the direction of the wooden shed, and stared suddenly—a lot of naked people with ropes tied around their necks were left in the wooden shed, including humans, orcs... and there seemed to be elves? !

Hongye's mouth suddenly opened so wide that she could stuff her own fist into it... This caravan actually came to catch elf slaves?Are these people serious? !

The two snow werewolf warriors observed secretly for a while, and blood was spattered on the spot by more than a dozen crew members.Even the two snow werewolves were trembling in such a fierce battle, let alone the crew involved. One of the humans wielding a scimitar seemed to be unable to stand this kind of unilateral slaughter, and suddenly ran out of his own position and charged. Going to the wooden shed at the back, I caught an elf girl whose hands and feet were tied up with ropes, and put a scimitar across the elf girl's neck, and shouted something to the two elf warriors who were still fighting.

"mean!"

Yu and Hongye were furious, but... the next second, the kidnapped elf girl bumped into the scimitar by herself, and the huge amount of blood sprayed from her neck shocked even Yu and Hongye who were far away. light.

An elf warrior pulled out the long knife stuck in the sand by the dead crew member and threw it viciously. The crew member who tried to threaten the opponent with the elf girl was immediately pierced through the chest by the long knife...

"..." The two snow werewolf fighters fell down obediently again.

More than half of the crew of hundreds of people were killed, and they could no longer form an effective defensive formation. They lost their fighting spirit and fled in all directions; but the two elves did not intend to let them go, and both took off the longbows on their backs , the bowstring sounded, and the arrows with a magical halo flew out, and the crew with their backs to them would surely fall.

The massacre was a unilateral massacre of few to many. After about 10 minutes, there was no living person standing on the entire beach except for two elf warriors.

The blood-soaked elf warrior silently walked towards the elf girl in the pool of blood, one of them picked up her body, and uttered a mournful song like a nightingale singing.

They took off their blood-stained clothes, wrapped and tied the elf girl on her back, and then entered the wooden shed to untie the ropes of other slaves; they were too far away to hear what they were saying, Yu and Hongye could only Guessing that the slaves who were released were begging for something, some people stumbled to the cargo box, opened the box, and showed the shiny things in the box to the two elf warriors.

A large group of ex-slaves talked for a long time around the elf warriors, and the two elf warriors seemed to nod their heads, so these slaves stripped the clothes from the dead crew members and put them on, and took out things from the cargo box and packed them. Only then did the two elf warriors leave the beach and head for the depths of the land.

Hongye and Yu waited until the figures of this group of people disappeared into the dense vegetation, and then they both bounced up, turned their heads and ran towards the way they came...There are elves active nearby!Too dangerous!Tell Ah Yun immediately!

...in half an hour.

After hearing the small-scale bloody battle that took place on the "next door" beach from the two warriors who were absolutely smart among the Snow Werewolves, Xiao Yun's face turned a little pale... What the hell, this world is really brutal!

But Xiao Yun really didn't understand Hongye and Yu's nervous direction: "It is indeed dangerous to have a slave-catching fleet operating around here, but since the elves are all wiped out, it should be fine?"

"..." Hongye remained expressionless.

Yu YouQi didn't understand Xiao Yun's reaction: "Ah Yun, what are you talking about? Why is the slave fleet dangerous?"

"Eh?"

"Wait." Hongye held Yu, twitching the corner of her mouth and said, "I forgot one thing, Ayun is not very clear about some common sense, and asked me before if the orc empire would hit the grassland..."

"?!" Yu showed an expression of a destroyed world view, and turned to Xiao Yun with a particularly horrified face, as if Xiao Yun had done something heinous to him.

Xiao Yun: "??"

... If so, after a pass of "common sense" is imparted.

This time it was Xiao Yun's expression that showed a shattered world view.

"Do you understand? Ayun?" Hongye asked with concern.

"...Understood." Xiao Yun couldn't express his expression at all, his mood at the moment was almost like being scolded by a dog, "We grassland residents can always go around so happily and foolishly, it's all because of the two of us living next door. murderous neighbor."

Hongye & Yu: "??"

Xiao Yun put his hand on his forehead, he didn't want to let his hair down, he wanted to be quiet.

After coming to this world and knowing that there is an empire of orcs in the east of the grassland and a kingdom of humans in the south, Xiao Yun has been worried that when these two families will come to grab the big flat land of the grassland... After all, the history of the earth, The origin of civilization of any nation starts from the plains with abundant water resources.

As for the snow-capped mountains to the north, Xiao Yun really didn't pay much attention to it...Even knowing that those northern elves are super powerful, and that an elf in a city can face the army of the Beastman Empire, Xiao Yun didn't feel how scary the northern elves are—this is really true. Empiricism kills people!People on earth have a high degree of natural affection for elves, creatures with natural beauty!

But the reality is that in this foreign world, the elves are the strongest species!

11 years ago, after the Beast King attacked the city of the Elf King, the hot Elf King took the imperial army and ran to the Beast King's hometown for an armed tour within half a year. He would not return to the city until he lost his temper after beating the Beast King!

Humans dare not enter the north of the mainland by land because the forest is the territory of the forest elves!

In this world, there is no such thing as rich and powerful old human beings who can raise elves as playthings, because once the elves know who their own people will be captured as slaves, they will have to go on an expedition thousands of miles away to beat you to the point of calling you daddy~

If you offend one elf, there will be millions of elves eagerly waiting to slaughter your family. This is not funny in this world; in the words of grassland residents, there are at least ten war epics in this world. The eight games are related to the elves...

Xiao Yun couldn’t laugh or cry. There are so many cute and fleshy elf-related YY works on the earth, which really screwed him up—think rationally and with a little IQ, the average life expectancy is over 500 years old, and the physique is strong The elves who are so much better than that, if the world didn't have malicious intentions to make them cute and reduce their intelligence collectively, how weak and stupid could such a group of long-lived creatures with magical talents be so weak?

The dark elves are playing rebellion, and they became the boss once they drilled into the underground world, and they can still face the dwarf kingdom with the weak background of the elves branch...

If you want to invade the grassland, you have to be friends with these two murderous neighbors, the snow mountain elves and the forest elves. Now let’s forget about the sparsely populated aborigines. How about the orc empire and the human kingdom?I'm afraid it won't be long if they occupy the land.

Rubbing the center of his brows vigorously, Xiao Yun endured his headache and put aside the matter of the elves... It's okay if he doesn't let it go, but with the population and size of the Snow Werewolf, he still expects to be able to compare with the elves, who is more powerful?It's not an order of magnitude at all. People still talk about you if they have you or not.

"In the final analysis, it was the merchant ship who caught the elves and caused the elves to rebound. No matter how you say it, it has nothing to do with us." Xiao Yun said, "We will leave as soon as we get the salt, and we will not stay here. Even if we meet the elves, both sides They didn't provoke or provoke, and they won't come to trouble us?"

Momiji and Yu thought for a while, then reluctantly nodded.The forest elves are usually active in the depths of the jungle, and they don't come out very often. Occasionally, when they encounter both sides on patrol, they stay away from them. If they really have any contact with the elves, they don't.

"Speaking of which, you said that the elves took away the slaves of the merchant ships, and also the goods?" Xiao Yun said with piercing eyes, "There are five ships, and a group of slaves can't take all the goods. Is there any leftovers?" ?”

Momiji Kazuha looked at him blankly.

"It so happens that the merchant ship we came to buy salt ran aground on the nearby beach, and even tried to catch the elves and wiped them out. Doesn't this mean that we are destined to help clean up the battlefield? Come on, when Ah Shan and Qingyan come back, Let's go pick up Bolou... and clean up the battlefield as a voluntary duty. Otherwise, what if there are so many corpses left there, causing plague pollution?" Xiao Yun slapped his thigh, "It's such a happy decision!"

Hongye & Yu: "??"

... So when Ah Shan and Qing Yan returned to the team, Xiao Yun took all the staff and set off to pick up the leak and Ah Bu to clean up the battlefield.

The cave below the cliff is close, but that road is too difficult to walk. This time, a group of people used to go around from the shore.After walking for about an hour, bypassing the cliff, and seeing the tragic battle scene with his own eyes, Xiao Yun was so hung up that he couldn't vomit...

Based on the time when Hongye and Yu returned to the team, this fight should have happened two hours ago. In just this short time, the corpses on the beach attracted countless predators, seabirds, seagulls, biting, pecking, Nibbling and so on made the whole beach full of minced meat and bone slag, let alone looking at it with the eyes, it would have to be overwhelmed by the smell.

Enduring the nausea and driving away scavengers, picking up the crew's clothes that the slaves didn't take away, wrapping their hands, and dragging these unlucky crew wrecks to the shore to dig a hole and bury them. When the hearts of the people - open the box!

Uh... Most of the cargo boxes on the beach have been opened, most of them are empty, and there is no hair left. I turned all the way to the bottom, and only found a few boxes with items left.

Xiao Yun hurriedly used the scimitar dropped by the crew to pry open the first box... Fuck, half of the box is actually copper plates that look like coins. Is this thing useful in the grassland? !Money doesn't circulate at all!

After prying open the second and third boxes, Xiao Yun's expression turned cloudy immediately: These two boxes were actually filled with water-soaked fabrics. Who cares about looking good here!

When prying open the last box, Xiao Yun almost died suddenly from excitement—it turned out to be a whole box of sprouted potatoes!

"Ah Yun?!" Uncle Ah Shan looked in horror at Xiao Yun, who was clutching his chest and gasping for breath, his face pale.

"I'm fine...Uncle, this, this is the real treasure, I must, I must take it back intact!" Xiao Yun grinned and pointed at a box of potatoes, his tone was almost like confessing his last words.

"Ayun, don't scare me!" Ah Shan hurriedly dropped the crew weapons he had collected, and ran over to hug his eldest nephew.

… After spending a little time to make Ah Shan understand that he was really just over excited, Xiao Yun and the landlord who collected the rent, Lao Cai, stared like that in the temporary camp built by the crew.

"Iron pot! Nima, iron pot hahahahahaha!"

"Fucking pocket watches!"

"Sewing kit hahahaha! Steel needle!"

"Oh shit, there's a medicine box too, hahahaha!"

A group of snow werewolves and a black panther hugged and shivered, Ayun, isn't he crazy?

After taking out all the things searched in the temporary camp, Xiao Yun, who was addicted to picking up missing items, turned his attention to the five boats lying in the shallows.

Qingyan is definitely the best at climbing. Xiao Yun, who is greedy for profit (...), doesn't care whether Qingyan is afraid of water or not. Big boats in sea water run.

"Don't!!" Qing Yan screamed and struggled.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! You won't be able to touch the water!" Hongye persuaded, and tried to lift Qingyan up with her hands, ran to the side of the big ship, and threw Qingyan onto the hull with all her strength.

...Qingyan, who was so frightened to death, immediately stretched out his claws and grabbed the hull, and then instinctively climbed up.

"Tie the rope and throw it down!" Xiao Yun shouted heartlessly from below.

Deep in Qingyan's heart, there are countless words of MMP to say.

The slave-catching fleet seemed to have been stranded for a long time, and the damaged hull showed signs of repair. There were not many things left on board, but they were still valuable.

In the corner of the cabin of a ship, Xiao Yun was ecstatic to find two bags of badly germinated sweet potatoes... The value of these things is about the same as potatoes, high-yield starchy side/staple food, half of Europe depends on potatoes, the so-called The prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong was also piled up with sweet potatoes. The value of these two plus one piece is higher than a whole boat of jewelry and jade.

"Thanks to this beach for running the slave boat aground, and thanks to the elves who cleared the place!" Xiao Yun looked towards the jungle with deep affection from the bottom of his heart, "How much benefit has your expedition brought us... Wait for us to develop in the future Alright, I've made up your friend!"

After searching inside and out, Xiao Yun even asked Qingyan to dismantle his sail and take it away... Don't look at the tattered and mended sail, it's tarpaulin after all, it's waterproof, isn't it?

A group of people who have returned with a full load...continue to squat in the salt pan to dry and cook salt.It's a rare trip like this, if you don't bring back as much salt as possible, you will lose your fortune.Originally, they didn’t carry many leather bags and couldn’t cook more, but now they missed the slave-catching fleet, got more than a dozen iron pots and several large bundles of oily leather bags, if it wasn’t for the shortage of manpower, Xiao Yun would have wanted to be here. Stay by the sea until the end of summer.

A month later, the edge of the jungle.

Six huge snow wolves, carrying a small mountain-like bag wrapped in sails, moved slowly north along the edge of the forest.

"The water vapor is a bit heavy, it's going to rain, Ah Yun."

Ah Shan, who was walking in the front, looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, then turned to look at his eldest nephew who was riding on Ah Yue's back.

Xiao Yun has already frowned at the sky for a long time. Since five days ago, the rain on the grassland has become denser, and it will rain in almost two days. There is no way to dry the salt at all, so he asked his clansmen to pack up the harvest and prepare to go home. .Unexpectedly, after he set foot on his way home, the frequency of rain in the past two days has become every day... This made him feel vaguely uneasy.

"...Shouldn't it be so bad that the mountains will be flooded in the first year of the transition to farming?" Xiao Yun was very confused. Now that the wheat has been harvested, the soybeans, alfalfa, and vegetable fields are still in the fields, and he doesn't know how the tribe repaired them. Can the embankment of the river play a role...

The sky suddenly darkened, the next moment lightning flashed across the sky, and every few seconds, rumbling thunder sounded.

"I can't go any further, rest where I am." Xiao Yun patted Ah Yue on the wolf's head, and he jumped off after Ah Yue stabilized, "Go a little outside, don't get too close to the jungle, when there is a thunderstorm, there are trees around you. Safety."

I found a slope with a slightly higher terrain, piled the materials wrapped by the sails on the slope, and collected some grass straws around to cover it, and the bean-sized raindrops splashed down like a curtain.

The snow wolves regained their human form and sat in rows on the slope, clutching their stomachs and drenching in the rain helplessly. They were not afraid of the raindrops getting on them, but they were so hungry... When it rains, the rain will completely cover the breath of the beasts. Hunting, if the rain doesn't stop, you will be hungry.

Hmm... Qingyan is more embarrassed... Hongye sees him as pitiful, so she hugs him and shields him from the wind and rain with her body.

"I probably won't be able to turn on the fire tonight. Eat dried fish to top it off." Xiao Yun opened the oilskin bag, took out the dried fish made during the drying of the salt, and distributed them to everyone... The fishing nets for fishing are made of bark fiber, and knitting sweaters Skilled worker Qing Yan weaves a fishing net without any trouble.

The so-called relying on the sea to eat the sea, Xiao Yun spent the past [-] days on the beach tossing a lot of seafood for everyone to try, and when he left, he also took away dried salted fish and shrimp. The clansmen who stayed behind relieved their greed.

When I came here, I only traveled for five and a half days in human form. When I returned, there were too many things, and I couldn’t walk fast because I was a wolf. It took more than two days for the group to reach the place where the jungle blocked the road and had to turn. place.

After swallowing the salty dried fish, they opened their mouths and drank some rainwater directly. The snow wolves who had worked hard for a long time finally regained their spirits.

It’s just that after they had rested for a while, the lightning and thunder still continued, and there was a tendency to continue. Naturally, they couldn’t continue on the road... The thunderstorm on the grassland is very scary, and no matter how stupid the snow werewolf is, he would not be here In this kind of weather, it turns into a wolf running around, and if you are unlucky, it will be a terrible thing.

"It seems that we can only spend the night here." Yu wiped the rainwater off his face, and looked worriedly at the supplies covered with straw, "Ah Yun, is there any problem with the salt inside?"

"Salt is packed in oily leather bags and wrapped in canvas, so it's not a big problem. Dried fish is fine." Xiao Yun was a little terrified when he said this, if it wasn't for missing a wave of slave-hunting fleets, It would be a shame to rely on the leather bags they brought to transport the salt back... But without this wave of pick-ups, they wouldn't greedily squat on the beach for more than ten days, and they would have returned to the tribe a long time ago, which is hard to say.

Yu nodded, and rubbed his stomach again... After feeling relieved, he felt even hungrier.

Xiao Yun looked at Yu's movements, took out the dried fish and sent another round... The dried fish that was pickled with salt and dried in the sun made his mouth sour after eating too much, which was better than starving.

The darkened sky and the heavy rain made it almost impossible to see the scenery five meters away, but the sound of crackling and gnawing dried fish could be heard.I don’t know if their chewing sounds were misjudged as rodents hiding in some burrow to eat. When Xiao Yun was chewing dried salted fish in the rain, the silhouette of a humanoid creature suddenly appeared in front of him...

"...?" Xiao Yun wiped his eyes, because the rain has been too frequent these days, he and his clansmen are wearing round hats made of rattan and straw to keep out the rain.But the disadvantage of rattan and straw things is that there are too many gaps, and rainwater still leaks down and sticks to his eyelids.

Ah Shan, who was sitting with Xiao Yun, also saw the "thing" and gnawed at the dried fish.

The thing approached, and both sides could see the distance clearly, so Xiao Yun, who was facing him, saw a face... quite gorgeous and delicate, even if it was drenched in water, it would be quite beautiful.

Xiao Yun & Snowwolves: "..."

Kai, the patrolling warrior of the elves: "..."
