Chapter 72 Yunmen Huofeng (Part 1)

The campfires of the merchants soon lit up.

They took out the firewood they carried from their bags and lit the campfire, then gathered around the fire to keep warm.

At this time, the caravan had changed their wet clothes, wrung out the wet clothes, and hung them by the fire to roast.

After rushing all the way in the rain, everyone was very hungry.

While roasting the fire, they took out the pots in their bags and put them on the fire to cook porridge.

Some people went to the animal pen at the back and started feeding the pack animals with grass. With division of labor, the fragrance of rice porridge soon wafted into the house.

It was good to have a hot porridge when you are out. What's more, some minced meat and vegetables were added to the rice porridge, so the taste was not bad.

When the caravan members each served themselves hot porridge, the leader walked towards the corner with two bowls of hot porridge and came to the man and the wolf.

With a smile on his face, "We are all friends when we go out. Do you want to have some hot porridge together?"

The little girl looked at the white wolf beside her and saw that the white wolf still closed his eyes and was obviously not interested in the hot porridge, so she shook her head and said, "No, thank you."

She didn't say much, and a simple refusal made the team leader take the porridge and go back obediently.

But the team leader just asked politely and showed goodwill. If he were in their place, he would not accept food from strangers, so the little girl's refusal did not surprise him.

It was just that the little girl looked at the white wolf first and then answered, which made him a little confused.

After returning to his companions, the team leader couldn't help but look back at the white wolf over there.

In the dim firelight, the white wolf lay beside the fire and seemed to be asleep. Although it is much larger than an ordinary wild wolf, there are many beasts in the wilderness that are bigger than this white wolf.

It is not surprising that a little girl who can walk alone in the wilderness is carrying a magical white wolf.

But judging from the little girl's actions just now, it seems that the white wolf is the dominant one between the two.

And the little girl's silver hair and pointed ears are similar to the white wolf...

The team leader lowered his head silently, not daring to look again, for fear of causing misunderstanding.

As merchants traveling all over the country, everyone in the caravan can be considered extraordinary. As long as they don't encounter evil spirits, most beasts can't eat their caravan.

And even if they encounter evil spirits, there is a guarantee in their team.

But that person is not here for the time being...

The team leader subconsciously looked outside the house, a little worried.

If this white wolf is really... Lao Huo, how long are you going to go...

The team leader was anxious, but in order not to scare everyone, he didn't even dare to say his guess in his heart, but pretended to be nothing and sat among the crowd.

Outside the house, the wind and rain became more and more violent. Although the thunder and lightning had stopped, the rain was getting heavier, and the cold wind was tearing everything in the mountain.

In the open-door post house, cold wind blew in from time to time, making people feel cold, but no one dared to close the door.

Because before they came, the door of the post house was open, and there was a man and a wolf sitting inside.

If they closed the door as soon as they came in... who knows if such an action would anger the man and the wolf next to them?

When you are out, it is better to have less trouble than more. The caravan members are not weak women, and it is not a big deal to be exposed to some cold wind.

By the fire, as their bodies warmed up and the hot porridge went down their stomachs, everyone gradually relaxed. Although they still did not dare to make loud noises, they whispered in low voices and talked about their plans to go to Baishi City.

Occasionally, a low laugh would be heard.

In this gradually relaxed atmosphere, a dull drum sound suddenly sounded in the dark rainstorm in the distance.

Dong-dong-

The moment the drum sounded, Xiao Ai looked up and looked outside, frowning slightly.

The merchants nearby recognized the voice and smiled.

"Old Huo is back..."

"Finally back."

"I wonder if Old Huo caught the fat bird. If he did, he would have made a fortune..."

"Hehe... Old Huo has been gone for so long, he must have caught it. Otherwise, he would have come back long ago..."

The merchants were talking excitedly, even forgetting to lower their voices.

The fat bird is a rare beast, shaped like a quail, with yellow feathers and red beak. Eating it can cure malignant sores and diseases. If there are poisonous insects living in the body, eating the meat of the fat bird can kill the poisonous insects. It is the natural enemy of parasitic poisonous insects.

If it is brought to Baishi City, it will definitely sell for a good price.

Thinking of this, everyone in the caravan smiled. The leader was even more relieved and secretly glanced at the white wolf next to the fire.

But the white wolf was still lying quietly next to the fire, with his eyes closed and motionless, turning a deaf ear to the movement outside.

After a while, the sound of rapid hooves rang out.

In the dark rain curtain, a pure white "horse" broke through the rain curtain and appeared in everyone's sight at a very fast speed.

The knight on the horse had his clothes soaked, but he had a bright smile, holding a fat bird in his hand and laughing at everyone in the house.

"Got it! Brothers, we've made a lot of money this time."

As he said that, he jumped directly from the back of the "horse".

All the caravan members went out to greet him, and hearty laughter rang out outside the house.

Of course, some of them went to lead the white horse to the animal pen at the back.

When being led away, the white horse neighed and made a sound like beating a drum.

The drum sound that sounded in the heavy rain before was made by this white horse.

This weird cry made Lu Heng open his eyes by the fire. He was a little surprised and found that the white horse outside was not an ordinary horse.

Although it has the body of a horse, its tail is a slender ox tail. The four legs are not horse hooves, but huge tiger-like claws with sharp claws.

When the white horse roars, you can see the sharp fangs in its mouth. Although it has two straight rows of teeth like ordinary horses, the teeth of this white horse are sharp and terrifying, more like the fangs of a shark.

If he were bitten by this white horse, his entire arm would probably be torn off.

Xiao Ai on the side whispered.

"This is a barge horse. It can travel thousands of miles a day and is very fast. It only eats lions and tigers in the mountains. After eating a tiger, it will not be hungry for half a year. It is an extremely rare mount."

"However, it is very difficult to subdue this barge horse. Only those who have cultivated themselves can do it."

Xiao Ai explained it to Lord Wolf God carefully.

These interesting things outside the mountains that she had heard from her mother in the past could now be explained briefly to Lord Wolf God, which made her quite happy.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Your mother knows so much. It seems that she has an extraordinary background... Xiao Ai, are you interested in exploring?"

Lu Heng's question made the little girl startled.

She shook her head and said softly, "My mother's biggest wish before she died was that I could live my life in peace in Shuisheng Village."

"Now that Xiao Ai is Lord Wolf God's servant, there is no need to worry anymore. Mother's wish has come true. I think she would be happy enough if she knew about Xiao Ai's luck."

Beside the fire, Lu Heng looked at the little girl's expression, felt the faint melancholy in the little girl's heart, and knew that the little girl was not lying, these words were sincere.

So he closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Outside the house, the man named Huo had been welcomed in by everyone.

After seeing the strange combination of a man and a wolf in the corner, Huo Feng was stunned for a moment and quickly saluted.

"It turns out there are friends in the house... I am Huo Feng of Xia Yunmen. He is staying here with the brothers today. If I cause any trouble, please forgive me."

Huo Feng, who is a cultivator, does not need to be as cautious as everyone in the caravan, but when he meets fellow monks when he is out, it is better to do more than to do less, so he bows in advance.

But the girl next to the fire had just finished talking to Lord Wolf God, and she missed her mother and felt melancholy.

Facing Huo Feng's greeting, the little girl just nodded coldly and said, "Hanyu Mountain, Lu Ai."

After saying these five concise and clear words, she lowered her eyebrows and continued to turn over the rabbit meat on the fire.

After a long period of roasting, the rabbit meat was almost ready. She had to take care of it carefully to prevent it from burning. She had no interest in chatting with these rough and strong men.

When Huo Feng saw her cold temperament, he stopped talking.

Although this girl with silver hair and animal ears looks quite strange, those who can walk alone in this wilderness are not ordinary people. It's not surprising that there are abnormalities in the body.

He and a group of brothers came to the fire. As soon as he breathed, all the water on his body was evaporated.

The unconscious fat bird was imprisoned in an iron cage by the caravan members.

Huo Feng said with a smile, "This fat relic bird is slippery and difficult to catch. If I hadn't had a barge horse, I might not have been able to catch it. I've been running in the mountains for five or six hours, and now I finally caught it."

Huo Feng smiled and chatted with everyone about the hard work of chasing the fat bird during the day. The team leader scooped a bowl of hot porridge for him and said, "Brother Huo, please eat some hot porridge first. It will get cold later."

"Okay!" Huo Feng took the hot porridge to eat and sat down.

Under the deliberate guidance of the team leader, everyone's attention turned to the fat bird and began to discuss the rumors about the fat bird.

After everyone had temporarily forgotten about Huo Feng, the team leader sat next to Huo Feng and whispered in a voice that only Huo Feng could hear, "Brother Huo, do you think that one man and one wolf are evil?"

Huo Feng, who was eating porridge, was stunned for a moment, raised his head and glanced at the corner again, shook his head and said, "No, although that little girl has silver hair and animal ears, her aura is calm and upright, and there is even a hint of shuddering pressure. He is a true Xuanmen disciple. His cultivation level is probably higher than mine, and he is definitely not evil."

"What about the white wolf..." The team leader swallowed and whispered, "When I went over to deliver porridge just now, I found that this little woman seemed to be following the instructions of the white wolf."

"Oh?" The leader's words made Huo Feng raise his head in surprise.

He looked at the white wolf again and saw that the white wolf was lying next to the fire with his eyes closed and sleeping without any evil aura. Although it was huge, it did not pose a threat to Huo Feng.

However, the leader's words made him a little curious.

With a thought in his mind, the energy inside Huo Feng's body surged, and the Dharma Eye in the middle of his eyebrows suddenly opened, looking directly at the white wolf next to the fire.

moment……

"puff!"

Huo Feng, who was holding the porridge, spurted out a mouthful of blood. As if he had been hit hard, he flew backwards and hit the wall heavily.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone in the caravan, Huo Feng, who had been in high spirits just now, was now lying on the ground, twitching and passed out.

The miserable look made everyone's hearts tremble...
