Chapter 26 Wolf Warrior
After an incense stick of time, the remaining low-level demon wolves gradually lost the battle. As Qin Yu Niang chopped off the head of the last low-level wind wolf beast with a sword, Shi Chun and the others finally eliminated their opponents.
Looking at the corpses of several demon wolves lying on the ground, after making sure that there were no fish that escaped, Shi Chun looked at the rest of the battlefield and found that Zhang Tieshan was in a bad situation at this time. Facing the fierce attack of the high-level wind wolf beast, he was already in danger.
He still underestimated the strength of this high-level demon wolf at the peak of Qi Refining. This demon wolf has very strong magic power. It seems that in a few decades, it may be possible to break through to the second-level demon beast.
Shi Chun thought quickly and made a decision in his heart. He said to Qin Yuniang beside him: "Yuniang, Tieshan can't hold on any longer. I will go to help him first, and you go to help Fellow Daoist Zhang."
Shi Chun's original plan was to help Zhang Baishan, who had a higher cultivation level among the crowd, first kill the intermediate demon wolf that was holding him back, so that he could free up his hands and then help Zhang Tieshan together. Now it seems that Zhang Tieshan may not be able to hold on until that time. After thinking about it, Shi Chun decided to change his strategy and let his junior sister Qin Yuniang go to support Zhang Baishan alone, and he went to help Zhang Tieshan stabilize the situation first.
Song Qingming, facing this intermediate wind wolf beast that had just broken through, seemed to be at ease from the beginning of the battle. Song Qingming used the earth wall technique to slow down the speed of the wind wolf beast's attack and avoid its attack, while using the fire attribute spells and several low-level fireball talismans released by the Lieyang Sword to attack the opponent remotely.
The wind wolf beast failed to attack several times and was hit by several fireballs, which made it look embarrassed and angry.
Seeing that it could not get close to Song Qingming, the wind wolf beast howled angrily and flew to a mud wall. A flash of light flashed on its back, and a crescent-shaped wind blade flew towards Song Qingming quickly. Song Qingming wanted to dodge it again with the light body technique, but he didn't expect that the wind blade was too fast and arrived in front of him in a blink of an eye.
Seeing that the wind blade was so fast, Song Qingming did not panic. He immediately released a black shield from his storage bag to block in front of him. The wind blade slashed on the shield, and with a choking sound, only a shallow mark was left, and then it turned into a green light and disappeared without a trace.
This black shield is called the Black Gold Shield. Song Qingming bought it from a casual cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining on Caolu Mountain a year ago at a high price of forty spirit stones. It is also a mid-grade magic weapon, but this shield is mixed with a lot of high-grade black gold ore, and its quality is three points better than that of ordinary mid-grade defensive magic weapons. Of course, the price is also 20% higher than that of ordinary mid-grade defensive magic weapons.
This Black Gold Shield has been sacrificed by Song Qingming for more than a year, and he has become very familiar with it. It was with this thing that he was protected and did not get injured when facing the high-level demon crocodile chasing him.
Seeing that the Black Gold Shield easily blocked the wind blade, Song Qingming was delighted. His forty spirit stones were not wasted. He could restrain the monster's most powerful speed and wind blade, so the next battle would naturally be much easier.
Level 1 monsters have almost no intelligence. Even cunning monsters like wolves usually attack only by relying on their animal instincts. Song Qingming first used the black gold shield to lure the demon wolf to attack with magic. When the demon wolf's spiritual power was mostly consumed, he turned from passive to active and sacrificed the Fiery Sun Sword to attack the somewhat tired demon wolf.
Not long after Shi Chun and his sister finished fighting, Song Qingming also killed the mid-level demon wolf with a sword. After taking a look at other battlefields, Song Qingming wanted to help Zhang Tieshan and Shi Chun who were suppressed by the high-level wind wolf beast, but unexpectedly Shi Chun called him.
"Fellow Daoist Song, we can still hold on here. Let's go help Fellow Daoist Zhang and Yu Niang first."
Zhang Baishan had already slowly occupied the upper hand. After Qin Yu Niang joined the battlefield, the demon wolf that was fighting had no offensive ability. After Song Qingming surrounded it for a few rounds, the wind wolf was cut off by the two short knives in Zhang Baishan's hands.
The high-level wind wolf beast that was fighting with Zhang Tieshan and Shi Chun saw that his wind wolves were being killed one after another by the crowd, and saw that Song Qingming and the other two were about to surround it. It immediately felt bad, and tried its best to release a wind blade to repel Zhang Tieshan and the other two, and turned around and fled into the dense forest.
Finally, the middle-level demon wolf that was left to fight with Wu Tianmu saw that the leading wolf king retreated, and also wanted to break away from Wu Tianmu and follow the wolf king to escape, but it was a pity that it did not have the luck of the wolf king, and was soon entangled by Wu Tianmu again. After everyone surrounded it, it died in grief and anger under Zhang Tieshan's giant sword.
In this battle, after everyone fought hard, they finally defeated the group of demon beasts, which can be regarded as a close call.
After the battle, Shi Chun urged everyone to clean up the battlefield and leave here quickly, so as not to be attacked by other demon beasts looking for blood.
Everyone's faces were full of smiles. They didn't expect that so many monsters would come to their doorstep when they were almost home. After collecting the monster materials, under Shi Chun's arrangement, everyone began to discuss how to divide the spoils this time.
The one who made the greatest contribution was of course Zhang Tieshan. If he hadn't tried his best to hold back the high-level wind wolf beast, everyone would have had to run for their lives. This time, a total of three mid-level wind wolves and five low-level wind wolves were captured. As expected by everyone, Zhang Tieshan got the largest mid-level wind wolf.
Next was Shi Chun, who was in charge of commanding the battle. This guy was calm and composed in the face of a pack of wolves, which also left a deep impression on Song Qingming. Shi Chun and his sister were given a mid-level wind wolf and a low-level wind wolf plus five spirit stones.
Zhang Baishan smiled and got the last mid-level wind wolf, and took out five spirit stones to compensate Shi Chun and the others.
The remaining Song Qingming and Wu Tianmu had similar contributions, and they got slightly less, each of them got two low-level wind wolf beasts. Song Qingming had no objection to this. Although he used up several low-level spirit talismans in this battle, he still earned a lot by getting two low-level monster beasts.
Although he killed a mid-level wind wolf alone, the mid-level monster wolf he dealt with was not strong to begin with. He had this opportunity only because everyone could hold back the stronger monster beasts. Everyone knew this.
After getting the spoils, everyone was smiling and very satisfied, and then continued on their way.
"It's really strange. This area is not far from Guiyuanfang, but there are still such groups of monsters. It seems that the monster turmoil in the northern border is getting closer." Zhang Baishan lifted his beard and looked at the people with happy faces, and suddenly said with a deep face.
When everyone heard the monster turmoil in the northern border, their faces changed and they were silent.
Song Qingming had heard about this from the elders of the family a long time ago, and hurriedly asked.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, according to the time when the monster turmoil occurred last time, the invasion of monsters in the northern border should be twenty years away, right?"
"Who knows? The time of each turmoil is not always so accurate. It is very likely to be twenty years earlier or later. I am afraid that by then, our cultivation is low and it will be difficult to survive this disaster." After Zhang Baishan finished speaking, he took off the wine gourd from his waist and drank a sip.
The northern border is vast, occupying a quarter of the entire Donghuang Xianzhou. There are many mountains and spiritual creatures there, but few cultivators dare to go deep into it, because there are monsters everywhere, which is the core territory of the monster race. The Fuyun Mountains in the north of Weiguo are only a small part of the frontier of the entire northern border.
Almost every hundred years or so, the monsters in the northern border will riot once, and a large number of monsters will cross the Fuyun Mountains and attack the territory of the southern human race. At this time, several neighboring countries including Weiguo will face the siege of monsters.
Facing the invasion of monsters in the northern border once a hundred years, the Xiaoyao Sect of Weiguo is also very troubled by this matter. It can only recruit many cultivators in the territory to go to the border to fight against the invasion of monsters. This is also a rare war in the cultivation world of Weiguo after thousands of years of peace.
After each chaos of monsters in the northern border, a large number of cultivators will fall on the battlefield against monsters, even the foundation-building cultivators and golden elixir ancestors who are usually high above are also inevitable. This is also the reason why everyone's face changed drastically when they heard about this.
Seeing that everyone was a little depressed, Shi Chun said to Zhang Baishan with a smile: "Friend Zhang, the monster turmoil will last at least a dozen years. It has little to do with casual cultivators like us. It is a headache for those high-level cultivators of Xiaoyao Sect. We don't know whether we can live to that day. Maybe we will meet the Fire Wolf Gang tomorrow and reincarnate together." This remark also caused a burst of laughter among the people, and they felt relieved immediately.
The Fire Wolf Gang mentioned by Shi Chun is a group of casual cultivators who have been active in the Floating Cloud Mountains in recent years. They specialize in robbing fellow casual cultivators and their methods are very cruel. The casual cultivators they target have rarely left alive. Even Guiyunfang has issued a bounty order for this notorious group of robbers. When Song Qingming first met Shi Chun and his group, Zhang Tieshan almost misunderstood him as a robber of the Fire Wolf Gang.
"Old drunkard, you only know how to scare people when you are drunk. We may not be here in 20 years. It has nothing to do with us whether the monsters come or not."
Qin Yu Niang is the youngest, but the most free and easy. Facing the crisis in 20 years, she has no worry on her face and behaves the calmest.
Only Song Qingming could not calm down for a long time.
Compared with the wandering cultivators, Song Qingming thought that it would be difficult for the Song family to avoid this disaster. Now he really didn't know whether he would be able to survive if he was involved.
In such a battlefield, at least one must have a cultivation level of the late Qi Refining stage or above to have some ability to protect himself.
Song Qingming secretly made up his mind that he must improve his cultivation level to the late Qi Refining stage before the monsters in the northern border riot.
