Chapter 69: The Orphan Girl from the Mountains Being Sacrificed to the Mountain God
Early in the morning.
After a simple meal and some dry food, Su Yi took Bai Xiu into the mountains. Following the directions of 555, they headed straight for the open wetland.
When Su saw dozens of wild boars quietly foraging for food and drinking water in front of him, he smiled happily.
"That's a sure thing. After that, I can go to Qing City to get the spirit pearl back."
Bai Xiu didn't look at the wild boar, but looked at her inquiringly.
He had discovered this woman when picking mushrooms earlier. She knew Shebai Mountain like the back of her hand. She knew exactly where the precious mushrooms were. There were also pheasants, just like the ones she raised, which she caught whenever she wanted. This time, she found a herd of wild boars directly.
It was as if she was the owner of Shebai Mountain and Shebai Mountain was her backyard, and she could take whatever she wanted.
He asked out of curiosity.
'How do you know there are wild boars here?'
Su Yi opened his mouth and said: "Because... I am the mountain god!"
True Mountain God Bai Xiu: ...
Seeing Bai Xiu stunned, Su Yi covered his mouth and laughed again. This child is so funny.
Bai Xiu gritted his teeth.
He must, must poison this woman who loves to talk nonsense!
"I'm just kidding. How could I be a mountain god? I just saw that you were always depressed and in a bad mood, so I wanted to cheer you up a little."
Bai Xiu glanced at her coldly and said nothing.
Su Yi came closer to him, "Cheer up, huh? Is there anything you like or want? When I sell the wild boar, I'll buy it for you as a gift!"
Bai Xiu shook his head.
He doesn't want a gift, he just wants the spirit pearl.
Su Yi sighed. This child was so sensible that it made people feel distressed. He was afraid that she would spend money and refused any gifts.
"Then tell me when you think of what you want."
After saying that, she picked up the rattan hook she had woven on the road and walked towards the wild boar.
Bai Xiu was really worried.
Is this woman stupid? She just went up like that. Isn't she afraid of being kicked up to the sky by the wild boar? !
I'm really not afraid.
The next moment, Su Yi suddenly ran at an incredibly fast speed.
After approaching the wild boar at the outermost edge, she suddenly slapped it on the head while it was not prepared. The wild boar, which was still eating grass roots, fell to the ground without even reacting. Then she rushed to the next wild boar nearby...
After two or three wild boars fell to the ground, the others began to flee in panic, but it did not affect Su Yi's "hunting moment". He threw the lasso like a cowboy, and after catching it, he jumped directly onto the wild boar's back and hit it with a simple and rough palm.
The wild boars ran in front and she chased them from behind, surrounding and intercepting them, and soon she had killed seven or eight of them.
Bai Xiu: (`●__●ˊ)
Could it be... that the spirit creature from the next hill is here to take over his hill? !
But he only hesitated for a second before going out to help.
The two of them worked together to catch seventeen wild boars. Bai Xiu wanted to get a few more, but Su Yi stopped him.
"enough."
Be moderate in what you do and know when to stop.
Bai Xiu stared at her for a moment, then stopped.
Then the two of them tied up the wild boar together.
"Bai Xiu, how are you so powerful?! You can even catch wild boars, I'm so surprised."
In her plan, Bai Xiu was just helping to tie up the pigs, but she didn't expect that he could also set traps to catch wild boars. He was able to catch several at once, saving her a lot of effort. He was really smart.
Bai Xiu: I should be the one who is surprised.
It turns out that what she said yesterday was true, she could really fight two at one, no, she could even fight ten at one.
"How did you do that? You can knock out a wild boar with just one slap."
Su Yi tied up the wild boar's hooves and mouth with vines and said, "I am from the Nanxing tribe. People of our tribe are born with supernatural powers."
Nonsense, he doesn't know anyway.
Bai Xiu: You’re talking nonsense again.
The Nanxing people are not very strong at all, and it takes more than just great strength to stun a running wild boar with a palm instead of killing it.
Seeing that Su didn't want to say more, he didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, he knew that this woman was not simple.
The two men tied up the wild boar, and Su Yi knocked down a tree, fixed the wild boar on the treetop and dragged it back.
Bai Xiu is no longer surprised by such inhuman operations.
"Ouch——"
Suddenly, a wolf howl was heard in the distance.
Su Yi frowned.
"It's too late, the wolves are out, we have to hurry and avoid encountering a pack of wolves." She was not afraid of wolves eating people, but she was afraid of wolves eating her wild boar.
But people, what you fear always comes true.
It wasn't long before they were blocked by a pack of wolves.
Tsk!
Su was getting impatient. She was covered in dust and dirt after a busy day. She wanted to go back and take a shower and go to bed as soon as possible.
"Be careful, I'll take care of this."
Bai Xiu hesitated and nodded.
Then Su Yi didn't wait for the wolf to attack, he took action first.
"555, find out which one is the leader."
"The one with a circle of white hair around its neck."
Su Yi glanced around, locked onto the wolf leader and rushed over.
However, after all, the time that my body has been transformed by the soul is too short, and I am not yet able to defeat ten opponents with my own strength. In addition, I have been working so hard for so long today, so it is inevitable that I feel a little overwhelmed.
Being surrounded by wolves, he was grabbed on the back shoulder before he could reach the leader.
Just at this moment, 555 told him that Bai Xiu was in danger.
Su Yi glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw several wolves passing by her.
Su Yi cursed under his breath, turned around and went to save Bai Xiu... and the wild boar.
Bai Xiu had been looking at Su Yi, frowned when she was scratched by the wolf, and then heard a slight movement behind him.
He turned around suddenly and saw a wolf jumping up and rushing towards him, and two more were biting the wild boar. The wild boar was awakened by the pain and was struggling frantically, but its mouth was tied up and it could not make any sound.
Bai Xiu ignored the wolf that pounced on him, since it couldn't hurt him anyway. He waved his hand to chase away the wolf that was eating the wild boar.
However, his arm was grabbed and he was pulled away with great force, while at the same time one arm was put in front of him to block the bloody fangs of the wolf.
Su Yi cursed in pain, knocked down the wolf that was biting his arm with one punch, pulled his hand free, and then went to drive away the wolves around the wild boar.
As he waved his hand, a few drops of blood splashed onto Bai Xiu's face behind him.
He raised his hand and touched his face, and felt something sticky on his fingertips.
Bai Xiu was slightly stunned.
The next moment, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he turned around and hissed at the leader of the wolf pack, revealing his threatening fangs.
The leader wolf suddenly howled, then ran away with its tail between its legs. The rest of the wolves followed suit without staying for a moment.
Su was confused.
Why did the wolf retreat suddenly?
But he still breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.
After a busy day, she was really tired, thirsty and in pain, and really didn't want to move.
Seeing Bai Xiu coming over, she raised her eyelids and glared at him fiercely.
Bai Xiu was silent for a moment, then he tore off his clothes and went over to bandage the wound on her arm.
Su Yi sighed, "What can I say about you? You didn't even hide when the wolf was right in front of you, and you were still thinking about saving the wild boar! Yes, the wild boar is important and can be sold for money, but can it be as important as your life?!"
Bai Xiu paused as he bandaged his hand.
"Whenever you encounter anything, think about yourself first. Once you've ensured your own safety, it's not too late to save others. Otherwise, if you risk your own life, you... you won't even have a chance to regret it!"
Seeing that Bai Xiu didn't respond, she emphasized, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Bai Xiu tied the cloth strip into a knot, looked up at Su Yi, and nodded.
"Okay."
Su had dragged his tired body up, pulled up the tree trunk and prepared to continue walking back.
Although she didn't want to move, she didn't want to delay until the work was done, and she was also afraid that the wolves would strike back.
However, after she had taken only two steps, Bai Xiu suddenly snatched the tree trunk from her hand, put it on his shoulders, and strode forward.
Su Yi opened his eyes wide in shock!
What the hell!
Bai Xiu, isn't he a human?!
555 held her face and screamed.
"He's a vampire!"
