”Hehe, we can't come to an agreement. We have immersed ourselves into their territory, so it seems that they want to treat us like a midnight snack!” Li Yun smirked as his mouth twitched into eighty thousand dollars. Looking at Qing Tian and Lian Chengxue, he shouted, ”What are all of you still standing there for? Hurry up and run!”
”Run! Where are you running to? We're all surrounded!” Lian Chengxue stomped his foot in anxiousness. He didn't think that he was eaten up by wolves before he could save Xiang Xue'er.
After passing through the white fog, the wolves started to approach the three of them. The encirclement was gradually shrinking. The wolves bared their fangs as they salivated. Was he that hungry? Three people isn't enough for you.
It was not that they did not want to fight with the wolves, but that once they did, they would be treated as enemies by the demons in the forest. When that happened, they would have even more enemies, not to mention finding Gu Liu horses.
He raised his head and looked at the towering tree. Then, he pointed to the top of the tree. ”There's nothing left to do. Let's climb the tree instead!”
”Good idea!” Just as Lian Chengxue finished speaking and raised his head, he realized that Li Yun had already climbed up the tree. ”Hey, what are you all waiting for? Hurry up and come up!”
The three men were forced to the top of the tree, while the surrounding wolves howled non-stop, clawing at the tree trunk with their sharp claws, letting out ear-piercing sounds.
Qingtian let out a sigh and turned his head to look at the two of them, grumbling bitterly to himself, ”Sigh, as a Saint Tenth Exorcist, he was actually forced to climb to the top of a tree by wolves. If news of this gets out, how am I going to survive in the Exorcist Realm?”
”Don't be so depressed, just look below!” Lian Chengxue used his chin and pointed at his subordinates. Groups of wild wolves were using tree trunks to practice their claws. If this continued, even if it was a hundred year old tree, it would still be broken by these beasts.
Awoo” Li Yun grimaced in pain as he exchanged blows with the leader of the wolves. No one knew what they were talking about, but the group got angrier and the trees shook.
”Hey, Brother Li, what are you talking about?” Lian Chengxue was at a loss as he stared at that mouth full of unknown symbols. He was sweating profusely as he asked.
”I'm warning them, if they dare to attack us again, we will retaliate!” Li Yun said seriously, causing Lian Chengxue and Qingtian to immediately feel their balls ache. ”I say, Big Brother, please don't cause any more trouble!”
The tree was shaking more and more violently, and it seemed like the three of them would be pushed to the ground before daybreak. Suddenly, a loud whistle came from the valley across from them. The head wolf turned its head to look in their direction, and then unexpectedly turned around and quickly ran away.
The head wolf left, followed closely by the pack of wolves, who seemed to have been summoned. Lian Chengxue sighed and said, ”Aiya, they've finally left!”
Li Yun turned to look at the valley with a frown. Although he did not know what was going on, the whistle from before seemed to summon them. It was strange that hundreds of wolves could be so obedient.
”Looks like there's someone on the other side!” The blue sky was standing on top of a tree, overlooking the endless forest. Suddenly, a figure gradually appeared in their line of sight.
He was a middle-aged man in his forties, of medium build, dressed in grey sackcloth. He looked very simple, with sunken eyes and high cheekbones, and a short black beard. He raised his head and looked at the three people on top of the tree, asking, ”Who are you people?”
Li Yun stared at the man for a long time. Seeing that the man still had a bamboo basket full of herbs hanging in his hands, he asked, ”Uncle, we're here to look for the horse, do you know him?”
”Hmm?” The middle-aged man looked at the three of them, his eyes falling on the blue sky and gradually revealing a smile on his face. ”Who was I? So I'm from the blue sky family. Is it possible that I'm from the blue sky?”
