Chapter 60: Treasures are only given to those who are destined
With a gloomy expression, Yu Mei led the men and horses to quietly retreat to the valley, identified the direction, and hurriedly embarked on the journey back without stopping at all.
The sky was getting brighter, but the scenery of the rising sun could not be seen in the deep valley. The faint light from outside the valley shone in here and there. The valley was dim and bright.
The haze of hunger still hangs over this team of people, like a sharp blade hanging in the air, ready to chop down at any time...
Yao'er was a little shaken on the horse and his physical condition was poor. He secretly fed the grass roots as rations to his mount "Hua'er".
His frail body was begging for food and energy more and more intensely at this moment... His brain consciousness gradually became blurred, and he fell off the horse with a tilt of his head.
Chu Qi held Yao'er and slowly dripped water into his mouth, calling his name softly...
"Great Protector, he is hungry. If this continues, he won't be able to get out of the valley. I'm afraid..."
Su Hanting looked at Yu Mei, her tone full of helplessness and depression.
"No one can be left behind, I will not give up on everyone."
Yan Mei's eyes were cold and she said firmly.
"You have misunderstood. I have no intention of giving up on Yao'er. Can there be some flexibility to resolve this matter?"
Su Hanting gestured and explained to Yan Mei.
"Understood!"
Yu Mei hesitated for a moment, then pressed and said: "Go and make arrangements. When Yao'er wakes up, Chu Qi will be sent to escort him back to the town temporarily. If he wants, he can prepare dry food in the town and go on official business with Chu Qi in Xuanyu
Meet at Fengxue Mountain Pass.”
"In addition, try to spread as much horse feed as possible, and Squirrel will prepare it for them. Tell Chu Qi to be careful along the way and wish you good luck!"
Looking at the deep valley in the distance, Yu Mei's voice became a bit louder.
Yao'er soon woke up and looked at Chu Qi with a confused expression. He seemed to have forgotten about falling off the horse...
Yao'er was eating while listening to Chu Qi's story about what happened after he fell into coma...
When he got up and wanted to say goodbye to Yu Mei and the others, the people in the demon world had already walked far away in a hurry.
The depressed Yao'er had no choice but to spit out the farewell words he had prepared in his stomach again.
After eating food, his physical strength recovered a little. He felt that he had no problem walking, so he felt sorry for "Hua'er" who refused to ride a horse.
Chu Qi led the horse to accompany Yao'er and walked slowly toward the entrance of the valley.
Behind them, a lone wolf limped and disappeared.
At noon, it is the time when the sun's rays are strongest in the day. The light shining into the valley brings the slightest warmth to this cold valley.
The desolate mountains are lifeless and full of cold air. A few wild grasses grow sparsely on the sunny slopes.
"Flower" sneezes restlessly, occasionally startling hares or squirrels that are eating grass roots, and then disappears suddenly.
At first, Chu Qi didn't pay attention to the lone wolf following him. It wasn't until Yao'er told him that he saw the lame lone wolf walking on the mountainside in front of him. Then Chu Qi suddenly became alert.
Chu Qi has been wandering around the world with his master since he was a child. How to survive in a dangerous environment is a required course for him. At this moment, a trace of fear and uneasiness flashed through his heart.
His master once told him the legendary story of "The Lone Wolf Howling at the Moon".
Wolves are social animals that hunt in teams, and lone wolves that live alone are either driven out by the pack or killed by other members of the pack.
Only by overcoming loneliness and prey can we survive. The desire to survive is the driving force for the lone wolf to attack every moment.
It will have a complete set of predatory tactical wisdom and extraordinary perseverance and patience for the target prey it chooses.
Chu Qi quickly predicted his situation in his mind, and his eyes were also observing the lone wolf on the hillside in the distance. He estimated that this lone wolf was the leader of the wolf pack. Its wolf pack was attacked by some kind of super powerful animal.
Massacre...
Now this lone wolf will become even more ferocious and dangerous. The potential danger hidden behind the lone wolf makes it difficult for him to predict.
Chu Qi, who was walking ahead to explore the road, was suddenly hit by a dazzling light, which made his eyes swell and hurt.
In a panic, he rolled to the bottom of the cliff with the "Earth Dragon Wandering" move on the seventh day of the lunar month. He hurriedly waved his hand to Yao'er behind him to hide against the cliff.
Through the shadow of the cliff, Chu Qi slowly looked...
There is a transparent object on the ground not far away, which reflects dazzling colorful light under the sunlight.
The two young men carefully walked along the cliff and approached it cautiously...
The reflective object on the ground is like a crystal peach, completely transparent and emitting faint seven-color light... Scattered around are the blood-stained long hairs of some unknown animals.
Chu Qi tried to touch the crystal peach with her hand, and a hot breath suddenly rushed into her body.
He hurriedly pulled his hand away, but his hand hit the sharp stone next to the crystal, and blood dripped onto the crystal... The blood slowly penetrated into the crystal, and instantly turned into blood-colored crystal, and the seven-color light suddenly returned to the crystal body.
"Wow! So beautiful!"
Yao'er shouted happily and hurriedly stretched out his hand to get the crystal. Before his hand touched the crystal, he said "Oh!" and shrank back in pain.
When Chu Qi saw this, he hesitantly stretched out his hand. Through his fingers, there seemed to be a stream of spiritual energy passing through the eight meridians of the body, and the whole body felt refreshed and comfortable.
When I lowered my head and looked at the wound on my hand, it had miraculously healed.
"God-given treasure!"
On the seventh day of the lunar month, I was filled with joy and hurriedly knelt down to worship God.
Yao'er was curious and touched the treasure again, but his fingers were still in pain. He suddenly understood a lot. This god-given treasure must be the owner of Qin Xue, and no one else can touch it.
…
People are in high spirits during happy events, and the two young men walked much faster.
"Hua'er", who had been restless all morning, suddenly calmed down.
Immersed in the joy of finding rare treasures, I have long forgotten the danger of a lone wolf.
The sky was dark and night was gradually falling. The two of them were like lone geese, groping forward in fear and using the dim light.
The horrific and bloody scene the night before appeared in their minds from time to time. The fear of the unknown power of the black matter world (dark world) at the same latitude made the two teenagers uneasy.
The words that Yu Mei said - "When night falls, evil spirits spread." still linger in my ears from time to time.
"Don't be afraid, brother. Having me here is a blessing, not a curse. I can't avoid it."
Chu Qi saw Yao'er's body shaking constantly and cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, so he spoke to comfort him.
He spoke easily, but his heart was beating wildly.
The hazy moonlight poured down, reflecting the dark valley in spots. The lone wolf, who had been lying in wait for a long time and could not hold back, launched a surprise attack...
Suddenly rocks rolled on the cliff, wolves howled, and the clouds and moon turned dark.
"It was a wolf attack..."
Chu Qi's voice was rapid and high-pitched, with a long drawl that shocked the lone wolf. Before he could finish his words, a large number of rocks rolled down and hit his leg.
Under the cover of night, the lone wolf's green eyes emitted an eerie cold light, and he jumped up from the cliff quickly and rushed down... "Hua'er" screamed in horror, echoing in the dark valley, and raised its four hooves.
Running wildly down the valley.
Yao'er watched helplessly as the lone wolf pounced down, and he was stunned where he didn't know what to do...
At the critical moment, Chu Qi flew up and performed a "chain soul-seeking kick" to intercept and kill the lone wolf in the air... With the sound of "Bang!", both Chu Qi and the lone wolf fell from the air and fell to the ground.
The lone wolf rolled on the spot, stood up quickly and nimbly, opened his mouth and bared his teeth, looking at Chu Qi with murderous eyes.
"What a cunning lone wolf. His limping during the day is actually a deceptive illusion."
Chu Qi cursed secretly in his heart.
He casually touched his calf that was hit by a stone, but it was unharmed.
Suddenly, there was a bloody smell wafting through the valley, and the lone wolf turned its head and looked warily into the deep valley. Its erect ears trembled slightly, and its tail twitched uneasily.
Deep in the valley, there is a piece of floating in the air, and the flickering dark green light comes from far and near quickly.
