Chapter 86 Red-Haired Woman
After listening to Huo Feng's explanation, Xiao Ai also understood the existence of the parade, so she put aside her worries and returned to sit by the campfire.
After the parade left, the mountain became quiet and nothing unusual happened.
The little girl sat cross-legged with her eyes closed until dawn before she opened them again.
The campfire in the cave had gone out at this time, and even the charcoal had cooled down.
In the cool breeze of the early morning, Huo Feng was standing next to the horse, reaching out to take two pieces of bread from the bag on the back of the horse, and took them with cold water, which was considered breakfast.
As for Xiao Ai and Lu Heng, they were not used to eating breakfast, so Huo Feng did not greet them.
Lu Heng looked at the blue sky outside and smiled, "Today's weather is good, the sun is shining, and it's suitable for traveling."
Huo Feng, who was eating bread, smiled bitterly and shook his head. If it was before, he would definitely agree with the Wolf God.
But now that he has lost all his cultivation, the scorching sun under the bright sky makes him unbearable.
But even so, this road cannot be avoided.
After Huo Feng rested for a while, they set out on the journey south again.
Not long after walking out of this mountain, Lu Heng and his team saw people and rice fields again.
Although they have not yet walked out of the boundary monument, this place is actually very far away from Baishi City.
The village beside the road is not large, with only more than 20 households. But this kind of small-scale village is the mainstream within the boundary monument of Baishi City.
Large villages like Shuisheng Village with hundreds of people in a village will not appear here.
After all, there is only so much suitable land, and many barren mountains cannot grow crops. Too many people cannot be fed.
This is the case with the small village in front of us. There are few fields suitable for growing crops outside the village. Although the grains in the rice fields are green, it is already the limit to feed these twenty households.
If Shuisheng Village was not backed by the big river outside Hanyu Mountain, and the vast plains outside the village were not very suitable for growing rice, I am afraid it would not be able to feed so many villagers.
When Lu Heng and his wolf came out of the mountain, the villagers working in the rice fields were all startled.
However, Lu Heng and his team walked along the ridges between the rice fields and headed straight towards the road without attacking the villagers. Seeing that the two men and the wolf were just passing by, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, they became very curious.
The villagers working in the fields were secretly looking at Xiao Ai's strange appearance with silver hair and animal ears, wondering what the girl's origins were.
As for Lu Heng, although he looked bigger than an ordinary wolf, in this world where strange beasts are rampant, a bigger wolf is not eye-catching.
Until Lu Heng and his team left the rice fields in the mountains and set foot on the road heading south again, no one among the villagers paid attention to the white wolf.
But this was exactly what Lu Heng wanted, otherwise if he wanted to attract attention, he would directly show his true size. A white wolf taller than a country house would definitely scare all the villagers on the roadside.
The journey southward was a bit boring. As they walked out of the boundary marker of Baishi City, the wild beasts on both sides of the road became more visible to the naked eye.
At noon, Lu Heng and his team met a group of merchants who were also heading south. There were more than 40 people in total, all fully armed, and they were surrounding a large white-browed tiger with colorful patterns on the slope beside the road.
Several people in the team were injured. It was thought that the tiger was lying in the wild to ambush the caravan, but it didn't work. After injuring people, it was surrounded by the caravan.
When Lu Heng and his team passed by, the ten-foot-long, ferocious and terrifying white-browed tiger was roaring angrily, and the sound of the tiger's roar made people's scalps numb.
But compared with the ferocious and terrifying tiger roar, the tiger's body was already covered with wounds, and it had already fallen into a dead end.
Now that everyone surrounded but did not kill, they were just afraid of the beast's dying struggle, so they planned to consume the tiger's physical strength first.
Once the big tiger runs out of energy and loses its fierceness, it will be attacked and killed by everyone.
Lu Heng took a quick look and left without stopping to watch the show.
Although the merchant team has a large number of people and a lot of goods, there are no practitioners following them.
However, more than 40 people are martial artists, and the three leading them are able to fight lions and tigers with their Ren and Du meridians. Such a caravan is walking in the wilderness. Even if there are no practitioners following them, some small monsters with low cultivation will not dare to provoke them.
The caravan of more than 30 people was shocked by the appearance of Lu Heng and his team.
People who can walk alone in the wilderness are not something they can provoke. However, seeing that Lu Heng and his team went away directly without any intention of staying, the caravan members breathed a sigh of relief.
After passing this group of caravans that surrounded and killed the tiger, Lu Heng and his team did not see another caravan on the road heading south.
The road was desolate and empty, with only some wild animals lying in the bushes on the roadside trying to jump out, but they were frightened away by the cold eyes of the little girl with silver hair and animal ears.
But in the evening, footsteps were faintly heard behind everyone.
Lu Heng and his friends looked back and found that it was a red-haired woman.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the woman hummed a strange ballad, holding a wine gourd in one hand, and walked casually on the road, with no companions around her.
Her fiery red long hair was tied loosely behind her head, looking unruly and casual.
She followed everyone all the way, taking a sip of wine from time to time. It was roughly estimated that she had drunk a jar of wine along the way.
I don’t know how that small gourd can hold so much wine.
Huo Feng whispered, “Lord Wolf God, this woman seems to be following us…”
Lu Heng shook his head and said, “How can this be called following? This is clearly following openly… Have you ever seen such arrogant following?”
Huo Feng paused, but couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
The woman had been following behind them, always keeping a far enough distance. When Lu Heng and his men were fast, the woman was fast, and when Lu Heng and his men were slow, the woman was also slow. It was obvious that she was coming for everyone.
Xiao Ai glanced coldly at the back and said, “Lord Wolf God, could it be that the evil spirits from the Qingming Cave have come to visit…”
There was a murderous intent in her words.
Lu Heng shook his head and said, "She is not a demon, but she is definitely not an ordinary person. She has a high level of cultivation. Such a master may just be playing in the mortal world. Don't worry about her. If she likes to follow us, let her follow. It's harmless."
"If she really wants to find us, she will definitely take the initiative to ask. Now just leave her alone and let her go."
Lu Heng's words made Huo Feng nod in agreement. He also agreed with the Wolf God's statement.
This red-haired woman behaves strangely, but she doesn't seem to be a demon. For this kind of master, leaving her alone for the time being is the most appropriate way to deal with it.
Xiao Ai said nothing, but tightened the belt of the Heavenly Tribulation Sword.
Grandpa Li Ju of the Xifeng Department said that no one in this world can compete with the power of the God Meteorite Tribulation Thunder.
So as long as she keeps this Heavenly Tribulation Sword, no one in the world can harm Lord Wolf God!
