Ambush

"Baa ..."

Just when Xu Taiping was about to approach the location of the trap, he suddenly heard a sheep call.

"It's hard not to really hunt the yellow sheep?"

Xu Taiping's heart was immediately happy.

The taste of roasted yellow lamb is much stronger than wild boar, especially with the shiso leaves from his family's elixir garden.

"It looks like I'll have a good meal tonight."

He thought so, while running fast on his feet to the trap.

...

When he came to the trap.

After Xu Taiping saw that the branches covering the trap were gone, his heart was even more certain that the trap was hunting for prey inside.

"Woo ..."

Just when Xu Taiping wanted to go over and see if the prey in the trap was a yellow sheep or not, a low roar of a beast suddenly came from behind him.

"Bang!"

Almost the body's instinctive reaction, Xu Taiping leapt up from the spot, relying on the strength of his feet to leap to the opposite side of the trap.

"Roar!"

The next moment Xu Taiping jumped to the opposite side of the trap, a gray wolf the size of an ordinary tiger pounced on his original standing place, and a small tree the thickness of a bowl next to it was directly broken by it.

"Wolf? Or a demon wolf!"

Looking at the huge gray wolf, Xu Taiping's sweat hair stood up.

When he was hunting with his grandfather, he had seen wolves more than once, but compared to this wolf in front of him, it was just a small wolf, not worth mentioning at all.

"Ow! ..."

Just as Xu Taiping was filled with astonishment, the gray wolf leaped up once again and pounced towards Xu Taiping on the opposite side of the trap.

"Bang!"

Xu Taiping rolled, successfully dodging the gray wolf's lunge, and then pulled out his hunting knife and ran wildly towards the east side of the mountain forest.

"Roar!"

Although his running speed was already far faster than that of an ordinary adult, it was still no match for the demon wolf in front of him, and he was already caught up in just a few breaths.

However, Xu Taiping had already calmed down and did not panic because the demon wolf was right behind him, but ran very deftly in the mountains and forests in a twisting and turning manner.

This is what his grandfather taught him, when encountering beasts in the mountains, one must not run in a straight line, but must follow them in a roundabout way.

"Bang!"

Just then, the demon wolf turned too sharply and accidentally crashed into a large tree of one-person thickness, breaking it off.

After glancing at this scene from the corner of his eye, Xu Taiping immediately stopped in his tracks, and then decisively drew his bow with an arrow.

He didn't aim at the demon wolf's head, but at its lungs.

"Whoosh!"

Just as the demon wolf regained its footing, Xu Taiping directly drew the bowstring to full strength, and then decisively released the arrow.

"Bang!"

Maybe it was luck, or maybe it was because his eyesight and arm strength had grown considerably after his training, Xu Taiping's arrow was precisely shot into the demon wolf's body!

"Roar!"

But what Xu Taiping didn't expect was that the demon wolf's fur was incomparably tough, and his arrow only pierced the skin, which not only didn't kill it, but also stimulated the demon wolf to become even more furious.

Seeing this, Xu Taiping did not hesitate and immediately carried his bow and arrows and darted towards the east of the mountain forest once again.

This time, the demon wolf that was in a frenzy didn't care if there were trees in front of it, and crashed through them.

In this way, the distance between Xu Taiping and the demon wolf was rapidly shortened.

"Come on!"

But when Xu Taiping was less than three feet away from the demon wolf and came to a large tree with a cloth hanging on it, he suddenly stopped and pulled out his hunting knife at his waist, and then turned around and roared at the demon wolf, assuming a life and death stance.

"Roar!"

The demon wolf was already enraged by Xu Taiping, and now seeing him provoke him, he immediately hissed, leaped up, opened his mouth to show a mouth of fangs, and pounced on Xu Taiping with unparalleled ferocity.

"Bang!"

Just as the demon wolf was about to swallow Xu Taiping in one bite, Xu Taiping suddenly turned his blade around and chopped it on a vine of the tree beside him.

"Swish!"

The moment the vine was cut, a wooden spike made of a bucket-thick log, hanging by a thick vine, flew out from Xu Taiping's side, just in time to meet the demon wolf that pounced on him.

"Ow!"

With a miserable cry, the huge wooden spike took the momentum of the flying swing and plunged heavily into the demon wolf's chest.

This wooden spike, originally used by Xu Taiping to deal with wild boars, did not expect this time to come in handy.

"Roar!"

But immediately Xu Taiping found that the demon wolf's flesh was unimaginably thick, and even the wooden spike was not able to pierce it completely.

"We can only try."

At the critical moment, Xu Taiping leaped up with his hunting knife in both hands, and then he didn't care if it would cause his true qi to run wrongly, he transferred the true qi in his dantian to his arms, and finally slashed fiercely on the lung wound of the demon wolf.

"Bang!"

There was another loud sound in the mountain forest.

Xu Taiping's true qi chopped out this knife, actually cut the demon wolf's lung open, blood immediately spurted out like rain.

"Ka-chow ..."

Before Xu Taiping could regain consciousness, the hunting knife in his hand broke into several sections, while his two arms began to swell up rapidly, swelling like elephant legs in just a blink of an eye.

The intense pain woke him up.

"Not good, true qi is starting to go haywire!"

Xu Taiping's heart tightened when he saw this, then sat down cross-legged and began to run the "Remnant Xia Gong", channeling all the true qi running wildly in both arms back into the dantian.

"Hoo ..."

A few moments later, finally let the body's true qi to resume smooth operation Xu Taiping long puff of air.

At this moment, he is full of fear.

Just a moment of impulse to suddenly run true qi, nearly caused his body true qi runaway, the consequences are unimaginable.

"I remember that in the description of the Sheep Deer Mountain, there have never been any wolves here, so how could a wolf suddenly appear, and a demon wolf at that."

Xu Taiping stood up and walked to the demon wolf with great vigilance.

At this moment, the demon wolf was already dying, and a hole had been opened in its abdomen by Xu Taiping's hunting knife, so it could not survive for long even if it was tenacious.

"It's almost dark, let's go back to the courtyard, ask the copper mirror about the demon wolf, don't come here to hunt for a while, and buy a martial art this time no matter what."

After looking at the sky, Xu Taiping decided to go back first.

Although the Green Bamboo Residence he was in was dilapidated, but according to the instructions in the jade slip, the courtyard of the Green Bamboo Residence was surrounded by a formation boundary, so there was no way for ordinary beasts and demons to get close, it was very safe.

"Wait, the corpse of this demon wolf should be able to exchange some merit coins, right? Forget it, whether it's worth it or not first drag it back."

Xu Taiping was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something, so he turned back to the demon wolf's corpse and dragged it up, and then dragged it out of the forest.

Although he still looks like a teenager and his body is slightly thin, he has a lot of strength nowadays, so he can drag such a demon wolf with no problem.

...

Not long after Xu Taiping left, a decaying figure came out of the mountain forest.

"This stupid wolf, this little thing can't be done!"

After seeing the puddle of blood on the ground, and the thick wooden thorn, the man suddenly cursed.

"Now the grass has been spooked, it seems that only I personally can lure him out of that courtyard, I have to think of a way to do it as soon as possible, the king's side is already pressing, if I don't bring this kid's heart and liver back, I'll become the king's food!"

The figure stomped his feet and cursed.

If the Spirit Moon Fairy had not fallen asleep, she would have been able to recognize this person at this time.

This is right, this person is the one who was spying outside the courtyard that night, and was transformed into a ghost.
