Chapter 31: Flame Mountain Cocoon Man (4)

"Village chief, do you know where wolves usually appear?" Li Yuanying wanted to join the wolf pack and get the wolf gall.

"You couldn't even beat a wolf demon just now, and now you want to go after the wolf pack for this man?" Qilang's voice was cold and his face was full of displeasure.

Li Yuanying didn't know why Qilang always picked on her senior brother. Now that human lives were at stake, he always acted like a child.

"Isn't it because you are here, my husband? You were so brave and powerful just now. I think a mere pack of wolves should be no problem for you." Li Yuanying saw through her husband. He was a soft-hearted person who would not tolerate any hardship.

Qi Lang didn't expect Li Yuanying to say that. He coughed lightly and said, "But I don't want to save that man."

"Husband, Zhang Qingchen is my senior brother, and you are my husband. Logically, you should also call me senior brother. If we do not help someone in need, outsiders will think that we are unkind and unjust, don't you think?" Li Yuanying kept saying "husband", and she felt that Qilang was quite fond of it.

She was a little angry at first, but when she saw Qilang chasing her to Candi Village, her anger subsided.

Qilang seemed a little embarrassed, his legs growing weaker as Li Yuanying called him "husband" over and over again. He found that he couldn't stand Li Yuanying's concern and care for any man other than him, let alone Zhang Qingchen. After all, the identity of a senior brother was a very sensitive one.

"Whatever you want." Qilang said.

Li Yuanying found it a little funny. The boy in front of her had the temperament of a child. Not only was he stubborn, but he was also a bit gullible.

The village chief was willing to take Li Yuanying and Qilang to find the wolf pack. He said that Zhang Qingchen had helped him before, and Bingyi stayed in the village to take care of Zhang Qingchen.

Fifteen insisted on following, but the village chief and Li Yuanying both advised her to stay in the village for safety. For Zhang Qingchen's illness, the three of them set off.

There is a wetland east of Yanshan Mountain, where these wolf demons live. Due to the hot weather in Yanshan Mountain, water evaporates quickly, forming cumulus clouds in this low-lying area, and it rains year-round, so the grass here is lush and the creatures are thriving.

It was already night when Li Yuanying, Qilang and the village chief entered the grassland. When they saw the grassland, Li Yuanying was shocked by the scene.

The grass here is very strange. It glows all over and appears translucent. It sways in the evening breeze, looking enchanting and ghostly.

Firefly grass.

Some fireflies even make chirping sounds, which is very cute.

"These little creatures seem to like you very much."

Shichiro hummed, then touched the cute leaves of the firefly grass with his fingertips.

The leaf was so happy that its whole body was shaking. The little grass lay on Qilang in ecstasy, feeling very satisfied.

Since he was little, Qilang has attracted these well-behaved little monsters. They all like him very much. After all, he is the only evil one.

The demon race is divided into puppets, spirits, ghosts, and evil spirits. As the top demon, Qilang has been placed with extremely high expectations by his tribe members since he was a child.

Since he was a child, he has followed the Emperor, practicing martial arts and studying, and he cannot miss anything, just for the purpose of restoring the demon clan in the future and rescuing the last soul of his mother who was trapped in the Yuanming Realm.

He looked at Li Yuanying. She looked at the fireflies curiously and touched them gently. The light of the fireflies illuminated her beautiful face. She looked more feminine than a few years ago.

"Husband."

Li Yuanying's voice appeared in Qilang's mind.

If she were not human, perhaps they could have exchanged names and lived freely in the world.

But there are no ifs in this world.

"Be careful." Li Yuanying said.

The three of them stopped and became cautious because the fireflies ahead had disappeared and everything was pitch black.

Qilang motioned the three to squat down, and he whispered a few words to the fireflies. Suddenly, a group of fireflies crawled into the grass and ran quickly towards the dark area ahead.

After they entered the darkness, they illuminated the darkness and vaguely revealed some scenes in the darkness.

That's a wolf pack.

One, two, three...

There may be a dozen wolves lying on the grassland, some of them have fallen asleep, while others are still looking around vigilantly.

It seems that they found the wolf pack that the village chief mentioned.

"Wolf demons are powerful spirits. We're no match for them if we confront them head-on," the village chief said. "I think we can lure them out, leaving one of them alone. Once we catch it, we can take its gallbladder."

What the village chief said is a good idea.

Li Yuanying knew the village chief didn't want the villagers to take risks, so he didn't bring any helpers, but came alone. Sure enough, the village chief then said, "I'll help you lure a lone wolf demon, but you'll have to get the gallbladder yourself."

Li Yuanying also knew that the villagers of Candi Village did not owe them anything. Everyone's life is life. The village chief was willing to help them to this point, which was considered to be the utmost kindness.

"I see that this young lady and young man are so delicate and graceful, they must be from prominent families. Wolf demons are extremely ferocious, and few can be their opponents in a one-on-one fight. So, would you two consider taking this risk again?" asked the village chief.

"Village Chief, how long do you think my brother's illness can last?"

The village chief hesitated for a moment and said, "It won't last longer than tonight."

"In that case, there's nothing to hesitate about, right?" Li Yuanying answered frankly.

"Okay, since the young lady said so, then I will help you. Unfortunately, my ability is limited, so you must take care of yourselves." After the village chief said this, he took out a cloth bag from his pocket.

"You can build a barrier here. I will lure a wolf in, and you can seal it in the barrier to take its gallbladder." said the village chief.

"good."

After Li Yuanying agreed, the village chief half-crouched and approached the wolf pack. Li Yuanying set up a barrier on the ground, and Qilang set up a mechanism in the center of the barrier.

“

The green rabbit is sick, look at the black rabbit.

The green rabbit died and the white rabbit laughed.

The green rabbit is alive and the red rabbit is calling.

”

Li Yuanying memorized the nursery rhyme sung by Shiwu.

"What do you think this green rabbit is?" Li Yuanying asked.

Qilang looked in the direction of the wolves, then looked at Li Yuanying.

"Well, you and I think the same." Li Yuanying nodded.

Sure enough, after a while, Li Yuanying noticed something was wrong. The fireflies around her suddenly went out, and the whole world fell into a silent darkness.

The stars and the moon in the sky became desolate, and any movement was terrifying.

Rustle, rustle.

It seemed like something was approaching Li Yuanying and Qilang rapidly.

Li Yuanying took out the Frost Ashes, and Qilang threw the Soul-Slaying Flame Umbrella into the air.

The rustling sound came from not just one place, but from all directions. It was a pack of wolves, not just one wolf, but the village chief had attracted all the wolves.

Li Yuanying didn't feel strange, she just carefully observed the direction from which the wolves attacked.

The wolves surrounded us in a hexagonal formation, moving at incredible speed and with murderous intent.

The wolf coming from the east was heading towards Li Yuanying's side, which was her weak point in defense. This wolf was small in size and the fastest.

To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader.

The wolf demon decided to get rid of Li Yuanying first.

She unsheathed the Frost Cinder, pointed the sword in the direction of the wolf demon, and then she flew with her feet. In the dark night, her figure was heavy and her speed was faster than the wolf demon. With a flash of silver light, she flew up and jumped over the wolf demon that rushed towards her first. She turned her head down, her feet up in the air, drew her sword downward, and used her own strength to fiercely insert the Frost Cinder into the wolf demon's head.

Only a shrill howl was heard from the wolf demon, and it fell to the ground with a bang. Li Yuanying flew to the ground, and the frost embers were dyed red.

The wolf demons were shocked by this scene. They had fought with Li Yuanying before and thought that this woman was easy to deal with, but they didn't expect that she was like a different person now.

When Li Yuanying fought with the wolf demon before, it was because of a cold attack. After Qilang relieved her pain, she recovered a lot and was no longer the same person as before.

The attacking wolf demon slowed down its pace, and the vacancy left by the dead wolf demon was filled by another wolf demon. Obviously, they had strong teamwork experience.

Just as the wolves were cautiously narrowing their encirclement, Li Yuanying noticed a slight movement in the distance and immediately ran towards the direction of the sound.

"Qilang, I leave this to you!" Li Yuanying said, "Establish the barrier!"

A huge barrier rose from the ground, trapping the wolves and Qilang inside, while Li Yuanying rushed out of the barrier and chased after a dark shadow.

Qilang remained calm, his expression steady. Dealing with these little wolf demons was a piece of cake for him. He raised his right hand, and a ball of blue flame burst into the mid-air Soul-Slaying Flame Umbrella. The umbrella spun faster and faster, then dropped, circling Qilang in a 360-degree rotation. The edges of the umbrella were incredibly sharp, and the silver bells hanging from the ribs rang piercingly. The wolves were kept out by the umbrella, and the ringing of the bells gave them severe headaches and caused them to bleed.

"Don't run!" Li Yuanying ran forward wildly, and the wind blowing past her ears felt like a knife.

Due to the high-speed chase, the black shadow's physical strength was quickly exhausted and he stopped.

The bright moonlight poured down from the sky and fell on the face of the shadow, and a dark and thin face appeared before his eyes.

"Village chief, you run so fast that I really can't catch up with you." Li Yuanying said, panting slightly.

"How do you know it's me?" The man in front of him looked at Li Yuanying viciously.

"I didn't know you were going to trick us at first, until I thought carefully about the nursery rhyme Fifteen sang."

"Which one?"

“

The green rabbit is sick, look at the black rabbit.

The green rabbit died and the white rabbit laughed.

The green rabbit is alive and the red rabbit is calling.

”

Li Yuanying spread her hands. "Actually, this nursery rhyme isn't difficult, is it? The green rabbit, white rabbit, red rabbit, and black rabbit represent the four camps. You said wolf gall can cure diseases, so the black rabbits are the wolves. The wolf that entered the village said it wanted to eat the red rabbits. Maybe we are the red rabbits, maybe you are the red rabbits. Now I think that outsiders like us are the white rabbits, and you villagers are the red rabbits. Am I right, Village Chief?"

The village chief gritted his teeth and did not answer, his eyes becoming even more vicious.
