Chapter 18 Dialogue between Man and Wolf
Lu Yuan rubbed his eyes and felt that he couldn't continue to be so depressed.
He carried the 50-pound fish he had just caught onto a modified cart, then picked up his backpack full of weapons and slowly walked towards the distance.
The old wolf and several female wolves followed closely behind.
Occasionally, he would use his claws to poke the big black fish.
Old friend, such a big fish, why don’t you let us enjoy it?
My wives are pregnant and need nutritional supplements.
"You can't touch it. I'm going to offer it to the King of Hell."
After walking for more than two hours, we arrived at the dry canyon where the salamanders lived.
At the edge of the canyon, he dug a large deep pit, into which were inserted sharp steel spears and a net bag woven with vines.
There were even two huge rocks weighing three hundred kilograms hanging on the wooden mast at the edge of the pit!
These huge rocks were moved from far away by Lu Yuan who used all his strength and with the help of several wolves.
The strongest thing about human beings is not their physical strength, but their wisdom.
With his strength, it would be impossible for him to lift a 300-jin boulder to a height of 10 meters, but with the help of a pulley, he could save a lot of effort.
A movable pulley can save half the effort.
If two movable pulleys are used, 3/4 of the force can be saved; if three movable pulleys are used, 7/8 of the force can be saved.
But that’s all.
Due to the limitations of manufacturing technology and material levels, he would never be able to lift larger boulders.
"This is almost it. The opponent I want to challenge..." Lu Yuan muttered to himself, looking into the distance.
"Ah!" The old wolf suddenly bit Lu Yuan's trouser leg, his eyes became sharp, signaling him not to move forward.
Lu Yuan pulled a few times, trying to break free.
“Ah~”
The old wolf bit hard and roared at Lu Yuan ferociously, expressing the huge danger ahead.
The fire lizard, with its aura as huge as the abyss, stimulated the nerves of every wolf and made them nervous.
Even the she-wolves were constantly on the prowl, their hair standing on end.
That is the absolute crushing of the superior over the inferior.
Any creature with a little bit of intelligence would not dare to cross the line.
"Old buddy, you don't understand. You can eat and sleep, sleep and eat, stay at home every day and have children, but I can't do that." Lu Yuan pointed to his temple, "I have to find some hope for myself."
"Seeking extraordinary power is my only pursuit."
"If I can't find it, I can't go home. I'll go crazy if I stay here all the time." He described his current state of mind in a nonchalant tone.
The old wolf raised his head and looked at his master.
It found that its master was different from when they first met.
When they first met, Lu Yuan actually didn't have any murderous intent. He looked harmless, like a sheep eating grass.
That's why it dares to follow from a distance.
At that time, the old wolf was really at his wit's end. What else could he do besides begging?
At this moment, Lu Yuan looked thin and a little haggard.
There was a cold light in his eyes.
That is a disregard for life, not even cherishing one's own life.
His skin was tanned by the sun, his hands were calloused, and the backs of his hands were covered with scars that looked like scratches from a knife.
This is the result of long-term labor.
If it met the current Lu Yuan, it would definitely not dare to beg with him.
"Actually, I just want to lie down every day, like you guys, and do nothing..."
"It just kept growing, from once in the morning when I woke up to every hour, every few minutes."
“I feel like life has lost its fun.”
"If I can stick the dagger into my heart cleanly, it will be the end of my absurd life."
Lu Yuan paused, his cold eyes reflecting the dim sunlight: "So, no matter what, I have to challenge it once. For myself!"
The wolf and the man stared at each other.
The old wolf still looked ferocious, with wrinkles on his nose, giving him an expression that said "Do you want to die?"
Lu Yuan had a blank expression on his face.
In less than a minute, the old wolf felt the strong will of its master and obediently let go of its mouth.
Lu Yuan touched the wolf's head and sighed.
He couldn't remember when he started to like talking to himself; nor did he know when he realized that his vitality was slipping away.
This loss of vitality is not on the physical level, but on the spiritual level.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He began to not care about his appearance, he was too lazy to brush his teeth or wash his face, and he didn't care what food he would eat today - at first he wanted to eat something good, but now he didn't care so much.
He doesn't even care about his own life, as if nothing can arouse his passion.
Only the company of the old wolf and a few female wolves gave him a little comfort.
Without them, he would have gone mad long ago.
"It's been a hundred days. It's time to tidy up your appearance. Even if you really go to hell, you won't be so ugly."
Lu Yuan took out a pair of scissors, cut his hair short, and shaved off his beard.
He shaved very carefully, like a farewell ceremony.
In his eyes, the world is crawling with lice called "loneliness", which cannot be avoided or escaped.
His entire body was covered with lice, and only his two eyeballs were still barely bright.
I originally wanted to recite a poem to add to the atmosphere, but in the end I lost interest.
Lu Yuan took out another bottle of animal oil from the storage space, which contained precious spider venom glands.
He used a sharp knife to pick up the spider's venom gland, and then stuffed the entire knife into the fish's belly along its mouth.
Then he used the bottle of oil to thoroughly wipe the tip of each spear.
After doing all this, there is no other work.
…
"Leave."
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, pushed the cart, and slowly stepped into the territory of the fire lizard.
The old wolf was wandering anxiously outside the canyon.
It just looked from a distance and didn't dare to come in, not even to howl.
This car was modified by Lu Yuan himself. The tires are very large and made of waste rubber, so it can pass through slightly bumpy roads.
However, there was rust in many places and the bearings were a bit deformed, so it couldn't run very fast.
I have walked this trail many times and there are no particularly high rock drops.
Lu Yuan saw the clouds in the sky. They were fish-scale clouds in the sky. Did they mean it might rain today? God was as blackly humorous as always. If he died, he would even pretend to mourn for a few times.
Inside the quiet canyon, the sunlight shines on the waxy yellow boulders, reflecting withered spots.
And the big fish lay quietly on the cart.
The eyeballs haven't sunken in yet, which is quite fresh.
The tires scraped across the stones, making a "cracking" sound.
