I'm not a god anymore

Among the ferocious beasts that Lu Heng met, some were seen by Lu Heng in Hanyu Mountain, some were not seen by Lu Heng but Xiao Ai had heard the characteristics of the elders, and some Xiao Ai had never heard of... In this wild and treacherous world, beasts like ligers and tigers are not at the top of the food chain.

Above the liger, there are many more terrible things.

In the wilderness before, Lu Heng also saw many more strange beasts.Many evil beasts were so long that Lu Heng dared not speak, for fear of getting sick from eating them.

However, although there are several kinds of evil beasts that are ferocious and violent, after the meat is roasted by Xiao Ai, the taste is really nothing to say.

Even the current Lu Heng can't help but miss it a little, hoping to meet those kinds of evil beasts in the next journey.

Chapter 71

After Grain Rain, the weather became hotter and hotter.

But amidst the heat, the rainfall is gradually increasing, and sometimes it will even usher in rainfall that lasts for more than ten days.

When the heavy rain hits, the increasingly hot land will return to the cold again.

On the edge of the desolate Chidao, stands an uninhabited post, which almost blends into the dark forest.

In Huotong Kingdom, there are not a few such post houses.

But this kind of area far away from the city has never been dared to live in.If someone dared to live in this lonely wilderness, within a few days, ferocious beasts would enter the house and eat people.

However, the mountains and roads between the cities are high and the roads are far away. Those merchants who come and go need places to shelter from the rain and rest overnight.

So on Chidao, there will be such unmanned post houses along the way.

Although there is no one to live in and manage, the houses are empty and the interior is empty for business travelers to rest.

And when business travelers check in, they will also consciously maintain the facilities of the post house, and clean it before leaving, so the post house is not dirty.

At this point, it was evening.

Inky black clouds hung over the sky, and pale thunder and lightning flickered in the dark clouds.

The light between the mountains was gloomy, and it was clearly not yet night, but the road was already blurred and dim.The cold wind howled in the wilderness, which was a harbinger of the approaching rainstorm.

But in such bad weather, on the desolate Chidao, there are two figures appearing from afar.

A little girl about ten years old, with a dark blue ancient sword on her back, has a serious face.The long silver hair hangs down, but a pair of pointed animal ears grow on the top of the head.

Mingming is young, but the little girl has a glamorous aura when looking at her, like a faint winter plum blooming proudly in the cold winter wind, which people dare not ignore.

Beside the little girl was a huge white wolf.Much taller than the wild wolf in the mountain, walking on this barren road with the little girl who was walking with the sword in her hand, there was a faint majesty in the dark golden eyes of the beast that one dare not look directly at.

The appearance of this man and beast broke the tranquility in the wilderness.

The little girl looked at the post in front of her that was almost integrated into the night, and asked, "Master Wolf God, there is a post in front, shall we go in and rest?"

The huge white wolf nodded and said, "It's going to rain heavily, and it would be great to have a shelter from the rain. Let's rest here tonight."

Saying that, one person and one wolf walked towards the post.

There is no courtyard wall in this post, and the house is built directly on the side of the road.

After pushing open the closed wooden door and entering, the space inside the house is huge, the beams and dome are extremely high, if you are not picky, it is not a problem to squeeze four or fifty people at the same time.

And behind this house, there is an animal pen with a roof to shelter from the rain.

When I walked into the main house, I saw traces of charcoal fire on the ground. It seemed that some people lived in this post a few days ago, and there were quite a few of them.

After Xiaoai found a relatively clean corner and cleaned it up, she placed two picked green banana leaves on the ground, not wanting Lord Wolf God to sit directly on the dusty ground.

Then, before the rainstorm fell, she went to the wild forest by the road and cut down a pine tree and dragged it back.Under the eaves, the little girl waved her hands, and the cold light flickered, and the tough tree trunk was cut into pieces by the sharp and slender nails and turned into firewood.

After doing all this, the sharp nails growing on her slender fingers retracted silently.

Afterwards, blue smoke rose from the house, and the ignited fire illuminated the dark and deserted main room.

Lu Heng lay down beside the fire with his eyes closed, sleeping like an ordinary wolf, without any strangeness.

Outside the house, the wind howled, the blazing thunder and lightning pierced the night sky, and the terrifying rumbling sounded from time to time.

The torrential rain has already fallen in the wilderness and mountains.The cold rain continuously hit the eaves of the post house, making a crisp sound.

Under the eaves, the little girl disemboweled a hare, skinned and dehaired it, and washed the blood on the rabbit meat with rainwater, and then put it on a stick and brought it back to the fire to roast.

Lu Heng opened his eyes and took a look. After seeing the little girl roasting rabbit meat, he closed his eyes again.

This rabbit was caught by Xiao Ai near Chidao in the morning, and the little girl carried it away for a day.Lu Heng thought the little girl was full of childlike innocence, and wanted to raise this rabbit.

After all, children have no resistance to cute animals.

But I didn't expect that Xiao Ai walked all the way with this rabbit, so that he could use it for barbecue when he settled down at night...

In the fire, the burning bonfire made a beeping sound from time to time.

Outside the house, there are endless howling storms, lightning and thunder, giving people the illusion that the roof of the post house is about to be blown away by the strong wind.

The little girl was earnestly roasting the rabbit meat in her hand, preparing dinner for Lord Wolf God.

She doesn't need to eat every day, and so does Lord Wolf God.But during the journey, Xiao Ai discovered that Lord Wolf God is very interested in food.

So every time the little girl camped and settled down after dark, the little girl would prepare some food for Lu Heng.It's just that because of the constraints, it's basically just some barbecue.

The little girl felt a little regretful. She knew that Lord Wolf God liked to eat, so she should have brought a small pot with her when she went out.In this way, we can change the taste of Lord Wolf God from time to time.

Thinking of this in her heart, she decided that if she passed by the city next, she would go to the city to buy a pot and take it with her.

Lu Heng, who was beside the fire, still closed his eyes and was in meditation, ignorant of what the little girl was thinking.

The quiet bonfire has been burning for a long time, and the rabbit meat in Xiao Ai's hands has been grilled until it is shiny, with a fragrance wafting out.

But at this moment, in the torrential rain outside, there was a sudden sound of dull footsteps.

thump-thump-

The dull footsteps sounded like a heavy beast walking in the rain.Although covered by the sound of rain and far away, both Lu Heng and Xiao Ai heard it.

The little girl looked in the direction of Chi Dao, frowning slightly.

About a quarter of an hour later, a team of merchants appeared in her field of vision.

The number of people was not small. A merchant team of about [-] people emerged from the rain driving five huge strange beasts.

The strange beast has a fat body, stubby limbs, rough and hairless skin, and sharp horns above the thick nostrils, which looks a bit vicious.

Xiao Ai has seen this kind of strange beast, named Rhinoceros, with a huge and heavy body and a relatively docile personality.Even if encountering ligers, tigers and ferocious beasts in the wilderness, this rhinoceros will not panic like ordinary pack horses, so many merchants will raise them as pack animals.

Now the one driving the five rhinos is an ordinary merchant team.

All of them were wearing coir raincoats, and they were walking quickly in the rainstorm.But the wind and rain were violent, and even though he was wearing a coir raincoat, he was still soaked by the rain.No one among the merchants was surprised when they saw the fire in the post in front of them.

After all, in this kind of roadside post, it is normal to meet travelers.

The merchants drove the five rhinos to the gate of the post house, and were about to unload the goods from the rhinos' backs, but they saw a man and a wolf inside the house.

The huge white wolf was lying down beside the fire, eyes slightly closed, and seemed to be asleep.But that huge body size makes people dare not ignore it.

Beside the white wolf, a young girl is carrying a dark blue ancient sword on her back, quietly turning over the barbecue on the fire.When everyone was standing outside the door, she just glanced coldly and then looked away, as if she was not interested in them.

But the girl's indifferent glance made everyone's breathing slightly stagnate, and they felt great pressure.

In such a wilderness rainstorm, there is such a strange one person and one wolf appearing...

The merchants looked at each other with some uneasiness in their eyes.

The leader of the caravan hesitated for a few seconds, and finally walked into the door, cupped his hands and said, "I am a passing merchant, and I am going to Baishi City. But if there is heavy rain today, it will be difficult to travel in the wilderness. I don't know if the girl can make it easier. Let me wait inside to shelter from the rain?"

The leader of the caravan kept his posture very low, for fear of offending the little girl in front of him.

When encountering such a strange man and wolf in such a wilderness, normal people would know that the other party must be extraordinary.

Without this violent storm, they would not have dared to ask, but drove the pack animals away.

The business rules have always been that they would rather camp in trouble than provoke people of unknown origin.

But now that the rain is pouring, this post is the only place nearby that can shelter from the rain, and the leader of the caravan has no choice but to bite the bullet and ask inside.

After hearing his request, the little girl beside the fire just glanced coldly and said, "This post was built here for the convenience of merchants. Uncles can do whatever they want, don't worry about me."

After finishing speaking, the little girl ignored this side and continued to take care of her barbecue.

The leader of the caravan heaved a sigh of relief, quickly thanked them, and then asked everyone to quickly unload the pack animals and move them into the house, and then drive the pack animals to the rear animal pen to shelter from the rain.

After finishing all this work, the merchants returned to the main house and carefully lit the firewood.

Be careful throughout the process, the merchants even try to keep down the sound of their footsteps and conversations, for fear of disturbing the one person and one wolf next to them.

Chapter 72

The campfires of the merchants quickly ignited.

They took the fuelwood they carried from their packs and lit a campfire, then gathered around the fire to keep warm.

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

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

While warming the fire, they took out the pots in their bags and set them on the fire, and began to cook porridge.

Some went to the animal pens behind and began to feed the pack animals.The division of labor took place, and soon the smell of rice porridge wafted in the house.

When you are away from home, it is already very good to have a hot porridge.What's more, some minced meat and vegetables are added to this rice porridge, and the taste is not bad.

When everyone in the caravan filled their bowls of hot porridge, the team leader walked towards the corner with two bowls of hot porridge, and came before the man and the wolf.

There was a smile on his face, "We are friends when we go out, do you want some hot porridge together, girl?"

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

She didn't say much, and simply refused, so the team leader could only go back obediently with the porridge.

However, the team leader was only asking politely, expressing kindness.Changing places, he would not accept food from strangers, so the little girl's refusal did not surprise him.

It's just that the little girl's action of looking at the white wolf before answering made him a little confused.

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

Under the dim light of the fire, the white wolf lay down beside the fire, seemingly asleep.Although the stature was much larger than that of ordinary wild wolves, there were many ferocious beasts bigger than this white wolf in the wilderness.

A little girl who can walk alone in the wilderness with a magical white wolf is not surprising.

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

And this little girl's silver-haired animal ears, her silver hair and those pointed animal ears are similar to this white wolf...

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

As a merchant, traveling all over the world, everyone in the caravan can be regarded as very skilled.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.

It's just that that person is not here for the time being...

The team leader subconsciously looked outside the house, feeling 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 speak out the conjecture in his heart, but sat among them pretending to be okay.

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

In the post house with the door open, the cold wind blows in from time to time, making the body feel cold, but no one dares to close the door.

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

If I and the others went to close the door as soon as they came in... Who knows if such a move would anger the one person and one wolf next to them?

When going out, one thing more is worse than one thing less.Everyone in the caravan is not a weak woman, and it will not be a problem to suffer from the cold wind.

Beside the fire, as their bodies warmed up and the hot porridge was eaten, everyone gradually relaxed.Although they still didn't dare to make loud noises, they whispered in low voices, talking about their plans to go to Baishi City.

Occasionally there was a low laugh.

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

thump-thump-

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

But the group of merchants at the side recognized the voice and all smiled.

"Old Huo is back..."
