Mortal Bones

"What..."

Just when Xu Taiping was about to approach the trap, he suddenly heard a sheep's cry.

"Is it possible that we really hunted the yellow sheep?"

Xu Taiping suddenly felt happy.

The taste of roasted yellow lamb is much stronger than that of wild boar, especially when paired with perilla leaves from his elixir garden.

"Looks like you'll have a good time tonight."

While he was thinking this, he ran quickly to the trap.

…

Come to the trap.

After Xu Taiping saw that the branches covering the trap were missing, he became more sure that he had found prey in the trap.

"Woo..."

Just when Xu Taiping wanted to get closer to see if the prey in the trap was a yellow sheep, a low roar of a beast suddenly came from behind him.

"boom!"

Almost as an instinctive reaction of his body, Xu Taiping jumped up from the spot and jumped to the opposite side of the trap with the strength of his feet.

"Roar!"

The next moment Xu Taiping jumped to the opposite side of the trap, a gray wolf about the size of an ordinary tiger pounced on the place where he was originally standing. A small tree as thick as a bowl was directly broken by it.

"Wolf? Or a demon wolf!"

Looking at the huge gray wolf, Xu Taiping's hair stood on end.

He had seen wolves more than once when he was hunting with his grandfather, but compared with the wolf in front of him, he was simply insignificant and not worth mentioning at all.

"Ouch!..."

Just when Xu Taiping was filled with shock, the gray wolf jumped up again and rushed towards Xu Taiping on the opposite side of the trap.

"boom!"

Xu Taiping rolled up and successfully dodged the gray wolf's attack, then pulled out the hunting knife from his waist and ran towards the east of the forest.

"Roar!"

Although his running speed at this time was far faster than that of an ordinary adult, he was still unable to compare with the demon wolf in front of him. He was caught up in just a few breaths.

But at this time, Xu Taiping had calmed down and did not feel panicked because the demon wolf was behind him. Instead, he ran twisting and turning in the forest very dexterously.

This is what his grandfather taught him. When encountering wild beasts in the mountains, you must not run in a straight line, but follow them in a roundabout way.

"boom!"

At this moment, because the demonic wolf turned too sharply, it accidentally hit a large tree as thick as a person's arms, breaking it.

When Xu Taiping caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eye, he immediately stopped and then decisively drew the arrow and drew the bow.

He didn't aim at the demon wolf's head, but at its lungs.

"Whoosh!"

Just when the demonic wolf stood up again, Xu Taiping drew the bowstring to full length, then decisively let go and let go of the arrow.

"boom!"

Perhaps due to good luck, or perhaps because his eyesight and arm strength have greatly improved after practicing, Xu Taiping's arrow hit the demon wolf accurately!

"Roar!"

But what Xu Taiping didn't expect was that the demon wolf's fur was extremely tough, and its arrow only pierced the skin. Not only was it not fatal, it actually stimulated the demon wolf to become even more violent.

Seeing this, Xu Taiping did not hesitate, and immediately took the bow and arrow and ran towards the east of the mountain forest again.

But this time, the crazy wolf didn't care whether there were trees in front of it or not, and smashed them all.

As a result, the distance between Xu Taiping and the demon wolf quickly shortened.

"come!"

But just when Xu Taiping was less than three feet away from the demon wolf and came to a big tree with a cloth hanging on it, he suddenly stopped and pulled out the hunting knife from his waist, then turned around and roared at the demon wolf, swinging A life-or-death attitude.

"Roar!"

The demonic wolf was already irritated by Xu Taiping, and now seeing him being so provocative, he roared, jumped up, opened his mouth to reveal his fangs, and pounced on Xu Taiping with great ferocity.

"boom!"

Just when the demon wolf was about to swallow Xu Taiping in one gulp, Xu Taiping suddenly turned his knife and struck a vine on the big tree next to him.

"Uh-huh!"

The moment the vine was cut off, a wooden thorn cut from a log as thick as a bucket was hung by a thick vine and flew out from Xu Taiping's side, just in time to catch up with the attacking demon wolf.

"Ouch!"

With a scream, the huge wooden thorn used the momentum of flying to slam into the demon wolf's chest.

This wooden thorn was originally used by Xu Taiping to deal with wild boars, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.

"Roar!"

However, Xu Taiping soon discovered that the demon wolf's skin and flesh were unimaginably thick, and even the wooden thorn could not completely pierce it.

"We just have to try."

At the critical moment, Xu Taiping held the hunting knife in both hands and jumped up. Then, regardless of whether it would cause chaos in the movement of his true energy, he mobilized the true energy in his Dantian and concentrated it on his arms. With the last knife, he struck hard. Hit the wound on the demon wolf's lungs.

"boom!"

There was another loud noise in the forest.

Xu Taiping mobilized his true energy and slashed out with this sword, which actually cut open the lungs of the demon wolf, and blood immediately sprayed out like raindrops.

"Click..."

Before Xu Taiping could recover, the hunting knife in his hand was broken into several sections, and his two arms began to swell rapidly, becoming as swollen as an elephant's legs in the blink of an eye.

Severe pain woke him up.

"No, the anger is starting to go away!"

Seeing this, Xu Taiping's heart tightened, and he immediately sat down cross-legged and began to use the "Remnant Clouds Technique" to guide all the zhenqi running randomly in his arms back to his dantian.

"call……"

After a while, Xu Taiping, who finally allowed the zhenqi in his body to resume smooth operation, let out a long breath.

At this moment, he was full of fear.

He suddenly moved his zhenqi on impulse, almost causing the zhenqi in his body to run out of control, with disastrous consequences.

"I remember the explanation about Yanglu Mountain. There have never been jackals here. How could a wolf suddenly appear, and it's also a demon wolf."

Xu Taiping stood up and walked to the demon wolf very vigilantly.

At this time, the demon wolf was already dying, and a hole was opened in its abdomen by Xu Taiping's hunting knife. No matter how strong its vitality was, it would not survive for long.

"It's getting dark, so let's go back to the small courtyard first. Ask Bronze Mirror about the demon wolf later. Don't come here to hunt for the time being. Besides, I have to buy a martial arts skill this time anyway."

After looking at the sky, Xu Taiping decided to go back first.

Although the Qingzhu Residence where he is located is dilapidated, according to the instructions in the jade slip, there are formation barriers around the courtyard of the Qingzhu Residence. Ordinary beasts and monsters cannot approach, so it is very safe.

"Wait a minute, this demon wolf's body should be exchanged for some merit coins, right? Forget it, drag it back first whether it's worth it or not."

Xu Taiping, who was about to leave, suddenly thought of something, so he turned back and dragged the body of the demon wolf up, and then dragged it out of the forest.

Although he still looks like a young man and is a little thin, he is very strong now and can drag such a monster wolf with him no problem.

…

Not long after Xu Taiping left, a rotten figure walked out of the forest.

"This stupid wolf can't handle such a small thing!"

After seeing the pool of blood on the ground and the thick wooden thorn, the man suddenly cursed.

"Now that we have alerted the snake, it seems that I can only lead him out of the yard personally. I have to think of a way as soon as possible. Your Majesty is already urging me. If you don't take this kid's heart and soul back, I will It’s become the king’s food!”

The figure stamped his feet and cursed.

If Fairy Lingyue was not asleep, she would definitely be able to recognize this person at this time.

Yes, this person was transformed into the ghost that was peeping outside the hospital that night.
