The strong wind and drizzle whipped Qi Rusong on the face. He kicked his spurs and crossed the swollen stream. Beside him, Marvin, the deputy sect leader, tightened the hood of his cloak and murmured curses at the weather.

Hundreds of demon hunters followed behind him, and everyone was soaked to the skin.

The sudden wind blows, causing wet leaves to fly like a flock of dead birds. The ghost forest, Qi Rushong smiled bitterly, is better said to be a flooded forest.

He secretly hoped that the other Demon Hunting Sect disciples could hold on.

My strength is considered average in the Demon Hunting Sect, but this time there are too many recruits in the team who don't even know what aura is. Before this, they might have been a farmer, a blacksmith, or a hawker.

Even though the weather was mild, they did not ride well. Now, it had rained for six full days, and the road conditions had become very dangerous, with soft mud and gravel everywhere.

Ahead, a hunting horn made a trembling sound, which seemed particularly hazy through the heavy rain.

"We're here!" Marvin announced, "God bless us, this old ghost Wei finally didn't move."

Along the way, Mad Wolf had been telling him the story of Old Ghost Wei and his fortress, and now he finally saw it with his own eyes.

After passing seven deserted villages, everyone began to wonder whether Old Ghost Wei's fortress was as deserted and desolate as other places. Fortunately, the worries did not come true. Xu Zhenqing revealed that Old Ghost Wei had a very bad reputation, but he was indeed a hunter.

Friend of the demon.

"I admit that this guy is not mentally normal," Xu Zhenqing told his men, "but if they had stayed in this monster-infested forest for a few years, they would have been the same as him."

The mad wolf sneered. In his mouth, this crazy old man not only killed his relatives, but was also a liar and robber. He even hinted that the other party was dealing with the demon clan in exchange for his own safety.

Old Ghost Wei's real name has been forgotten, but we only know that he was once an excellent demon hunter. I don't know whether it was arranged by the sect or his own wishes.

This demon hunter has lived alone in the depths of the desolate ghost forest for decades.

Before entering Old Ghost Wei's fortress, the demon hunters began to whisper again.

At this time, Marvin reminded loudly: "I don't allow anyone to have an idea of ​​Wei Laogui's wife. No one is allowed to be careless, and don't talk to them if you have nothing to do."

"As you command, my lord." Everyone replied.

"Wives?" Qi Rushong asked Mad Wolf in a low voice.

"Yes, you will see this poor woman later. I don't know where he got it from." Mad Wolf replied, "It is said that she is a witch who broke through the seal."

"Witch?" Qi Rushong's jaw dropped in shock.

"Who knows, no one dares to ask him." Mad Wolf said, "That moody guy was the [Fourth-Level Great Swordsman] ten years ago!"

Just as he was sighing, a simple and dilapidated house appeared in front of him.

The situation was worse than he imagined: there was only a garbage dump, a pigsty and a hall covered with branches and earth. It was not worth mentioning, and there were no windows.

Looking from the outside, the hall is long and low, the wood of the house is rough, and the roof is covered with grass.

The fortress was built on a small slope that was not worthy of being called a hill, and was surrounded by an earthen embankment. Year-round rain had carved countless holes in the embankment, and brown water overflowed down the slope.

When they walked in, they found several meat drying racks hanging at the door, with some pieces of wild animal meat on them.

Mad Wolf has arranged for his disciples to set up a simple camp.

In the pigsty, a large group of piglets cuddled next to three fat sows. Next to it, a little girl squatted naked in the rain in the vegetable garden, pulling radishes, while two other women were preparing to slaughter a pig.

They were not surprised by the arrival of the demon hunters and continued to be busy.

This house cannot accommodate everyone, so most people have to live outside. Ankle-deep puddles and wet mud will be all they have to face tonight.

Marvin led the disciples above the level of deacon and Qi Rushong into the house. A smell of charcoal, feces and blood spread into Qi Rushong's nose.

Old Ghost Wei was sitting next to the stove. He was the only person in the room with a chair to sit on. Even Marvin could only squeeze on the bench.

Qi Rusong sat down next to Marvin, and then he saw the old ghost clearly.

Old Ghost Wei wore a coat made of wild animal fur, and on his thick wrist was a bracelet that was quite heavy and glittering with gold.

He is about sixty years old, and his hair has turned from black to white. He may not have been around much, but there is no doubt that he is still a very powerful person.

"Old man Ma, you're not dead yet!" He said nothing nice when he started. "To be honest, I don't want you to come at all."

Several small black dogs and a lonely pig were hiding among the benches. Women in ragged coarse clothes brought cups of unknown drinks, lit the fire, and began to put radishes and radish into the pot.

Potato.

"Have you ever seen a stone snake? He should have passed here three months ago." Crazy Wolf said, a dog sniffing around his legs. He flew up and kicked it, making it bark.

Ma Wen said, "He brought dozens of experts from the demon hunting sect to deal with the demon clan that was causing trouble for the people."

"Oh? Them!" Old Ghost Wei drank a glass of drink, "Old Man Ma, you should take care of your men. I take care of their food and their sleep, but these bastards still care about my woman's body.

Hum, if their leader hadn't apologized, I would have broken his third leg."

"What happened next? Where did Stone Snake go after he left?"

Old Ghost Wei shrugged, "I have a lot to do, so I don't have time to mind your other business!" He drank the wine in one gulp and put the cup aside.

"Where's the thing you promised me? Wine, I'm short of wine, and I'm also short of axes, armor, and weapons. I have a lot of wives who need to be protected." After saying that, he hugged a woman who was no more than sixteen years old into his arms, with his fat palms.

Reaching into her chest without restraint.

"I heard that you are also a member of the Demon Hunting Sect. If you are short of these supplies, why don't you come to our Lingnan City Demon Hunting Sect?" Qi Rusong couldn't help but said.

The owner of the house made a dirty smile, showing a mouth full of broken yellow teeth. "Old man Ma, whose son is this? Go to Lingnan City, will you serve me?"

"The world is difficult now, and it's not appropriate to live alone in the wilderness. The cold wind is already blowing." Marvin held Qi Rushong's hand.

"Tell him, ma'am. Tell these adults how much we like this place."

The girl said tremblingly, "I...I...like...here, I like...my husband..."

"A monster clan that has never been encountered before appears in the south. It can resurrect the dead who can't be hurt by swords!" Qi Rusong raised his voice, "You must tell us the whereabouts of the stone snake."

Old Ghost Wei changed his expression, "Am I, the majestic [Fourth-Level Great Swordsman], afraid of the demon clan? Boy, I don't care who you are, if you speak with a loud voice like mine, be careful with my sword!"

"Rusong, calm down." Ma Wen advised him. "Old Ghost Wei, why bother getting angry with Yisheng?"

Seeing that Ma Wen was subdued, Old Ghost Wei grinned again. "You probably want to live under my roof. Hey, I'm afraid you want to kill off all my pigs."

"We are very grateful to have a roof to protect us from the wind and rain." Marvin said, "We walked a long way and we were all soaked."

"Then, you are all guests here tonight. Just tonight, I don't like the demon hunting door. The attic above is where my wife and I sleep, and you can sleep wherever you like on the floor below.

I only provide meat for thirty people, not much more. Your men can go out hunting on their own."

"We have enough supplies, thank you for your hospitality."

Old Ghost Wei wiped his drooping lips with the back of his furry hands, "Listen up, if any of you dare to touch my wife with your dirty hands, I promise to chop off her limbs."

"Under your roof, you have the final say." Mad Wolf said.

Marvin nodded stiffly, he didn't look happy at all.

Everyone stood up one after another, Qi Rushong also stood up and bowed stiffly, and then left quickly.

Outside the door, the rain has slowed down a bit, and tents have been set up everywhere in the courtyard, including under the trees outside the embankment.

The mad wolf walked to the temporary stable to feed the horse in depression. "Giving him an ax? It's interesting!" He said to himself, "He will definitely give it back to us, but when the time comes, it will be inserted into Mr. Ma's skull.

better than nothing.

Why don’t we give him all the long swords in our hands? Without them, we will go faster and reach the eighteenth floor of hell!”

Qi Rusong smiled, "I didn't expect you to be more impatient than me. Elder Xu also said that he is our friend!"

"Yes, friend! I want to comment on the concept of this friend." Mad Wolf stopped, "The demon tribe will abandon our bodies in the wilderness and feed them to jackals and wild wolves; this friend will find a friend that no one can find.

place to bury us.

We can only rest in peace at least, you think so, right?"

Qi Rusong couldn't help but said, "Old Ghost Wei is only one person, and we have more than 900 brothers. Who can he kill?"

"That's true. Why don't we just wipe him." Mad Wolf made a gesture of wiping his neck, "Then send a team of demon hunters to station here."

"Shh... keep your voice down." The demon hunting disciples who were loyal to Qi Rusong and others quickly advised him and looked back.

Qi Rusong looked up and saw Xu Zhenqing and several other "noble-born" disciples looking at him.

One of the guys had blood oozing from the gauze wrapped around his right ear.

"I'm afraid they're a bunch of rubbish!" Mad Wolf spat on the ground.

While the two sides were dueling through their eyes, they suddenly heard a frightened scream: "Wolf!"

Qi Rusong followed the sound and saw a woman leaning against a wall splattered with mud. "Don't come here!" She screamed at a black hound, "Don't come here!"

"Don't worry, it won't hurt you. This is our hunting dog." The mad wolf quickly came up to comfort you.

The girl moved her feet and made a "ding-dong" sound.

At this time, Qi Rushong noticed that she was wearing an anklet covered with rust.

The girl stared at them nervously. Only then did Qi Rusong realize how young she was, probably only sixteen or seventeen years old. Because of the rain, her black hair was messy and stuck to her haggard face, and her bare feet were covered in mud up to her ankles.

Strips of rags that could not be called clothes were hanging on her body, and her snow-white skin and slightly bulging chest were clearly visible. Although this girl was not a beautiful girl, she was somewhat pretty.

"Are you Old Ghost Wei's wife?" Qi Rusong stepped forward and asked.
