Chapter 78: Xiqu

Lu Heng took the initiative to invite him, which is a great thing for Huo Feng that he can't even dream of.

He quickly thanked him, grateful in his heart.

Feeling better, even the sky covered by dark clouds no longer feels gloomy.

But although Huo Feng was in a good mood, the rest of the caravan couldn't laugh.

The further they went, the darker the clouds in the sky became. In the afternoon, dark clouds had almost covered the whole sky, and no sunshine could be seen.

In the mountains, the wind is howling, which is clearly a harbinger of the rainstorm in the future.

Xin Sheng, the leader of the business, hesitated for a while, then finally came to the rear and found Lu Heng.

"Lord Wolf God," Xin Sheng's face was anxious, but he still saluted respectfully, "Dark clouds cover the sky. I'm afraid it's going to rain soon. I want to speed up and climb over the mountain as soon as possible, so"

"It's all right. Just go ahead," Lu Heng said. "We'll follow."

"Thank you, Lord Wolf God." after being accepted, Xin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back to the front of the merchant team, telling everyone to speed up.

The men who had been restless for a long time immediately began to beat the pack animals. On the rugged and narrow mountain path the caravan's speed immediately increased.

Behind the caravan, Lu Heng and Xiao Ai still kept a slow pace, but their speed didn't fall, and they always kept the same distance from the caravan.

Huo Feng, lying on the back of the Bo horse, doesn't have to worry. The Bo horse is fierce and can travel thousands of miles a day. It's easy to keep up with these pack animals.

It's just that Lu Heng and Xiao Ai are now on a steep uphill mountain path, which is extremely bumpy. After they increased their speed, Huo Feng was even more upset.

But even so, Huo Feng still clung to the reins and bowed down, and didn't dare to let go at all.

Because there is a cliff on one side, once you step off it, there will be no bones left.

And looking at the situation of this mountain path, it is clear that it is a cliff path directly opened up on the hard cliff mountain from scratch.

The roads in the wilderness before were spacious and flat, allowing ten horses to run side by side.

However, this cliff path is extremely narrow. A single rhinoceros fills the road, so everyone in the caravan is walking in a line.

And because the rainstorm is coming, the wind in the mountain is now howling, blowing on everyone's body, which greatly affects the traveling speed of the caravan. But on such a dangerous road, the caravan didn't slow down, but was constantly urging pack animals.

Such a strange performance made Lu Heng a little curious.

"Brother Huo, is there anything in this mountain?" Lu Heng asked.

He thought that the caravan people wanted to leave this steep mountain path before the rainstorm, but now looking at the performance of the people, it was clear that they were afraid of something, so they wanted to leave quickly.

This aroused Lu Heng's curiosity.

While Huo Feng, who was lying on the back of the Bo horse, although his face turned blue, he reluctantly braced himself and explained after hearing the Wolf God ask.

"Lord Wolf God, it is said that there is a monster called Xiqu in the mountain. It is as strong as an ox, with black fur, ferocious and terrifying, likes eating humans, and often attacks traveling merchants, so traveling caravans have never dared to stay in the mountain."

"I see" Lu Heng nodded to understand.

A fierce beast that can eat humans for a long time on the galloping path, and whose reputation has been spread for so long, but still has not been killed. It must have magical powers unmatched by ordinary beasts.

It's no wonder that everyone in the caravan is so nervous.

Although they know Lu Heng must be great, what if an accident happens? Once something happens, it will cost them their lives. These businessmen dare not gamble at all.

Lu Heng didn't feel offended or disgusted about this.

In a different world, he would make the same choice if he were in the place of these businessmen.

What's more, he doesn't even feel how great he is.

Although he is confident that even if the fierce beast appears, he can kill it, this confidence is actually from the sword on Xiao Ai's back

As for Lu Heng's fighting power today, there are only seven Heavenly Thunders. Although he can kill common beasts easily, if he really encounters a strong enemy, he doesn't know if he can still win.

Lu Heng never thought that he would be invincible even if he could order the Heavenly Thunder.

In this world, crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and strong people emerge in large numbers. Being pretentious because you are a little skilled is no different from looking for death.

However, Lu Heng is somewhat interested in the monster named Xiqu.

Because the stronger the beast is, the harder it is to embark on the path of cultivation. There are many monsters in the wilderness with natural magical powers, and their destructive power is even stronger than many monsters that have not been transformed.

But most of these monsters are still animals without wisdom. This Xiqu is so powerful that Lu Heng is a little curious. Is it a demon that has achieved something? Or a beast with powerful talent?

Therefore, after hearing the rumors of Xiqu, Lu Heng began to observe the situation in the mountains, and wanted to see if there was really a fierce beast lurking near the road.

It was just that the wind was blowing in the mountains, and dark clouds shrouded the sky. The scene in the distance was almost invisible. Lu Heng failed to find Xiqu as he wished, but instead found that the cliff path at his feet was somewhat unusual.

This cliff path is cut on the cliff mountain, but the incision is flat, and it is not chiseled out by one blow. After careful observation, it looks like it was split by a sword.

A sword splits a path on the mountain

Lu Heng estimated and confirmed that he could not do such an exaggerated thing.

The power of thunder is so fierce that sentient beings can hardly resist it. However, in terms of physical destructive ability, it is actually very general, far less than this terrible sword that can break a mountain.

Lu Heng still has a long way to go to achieve this level of destruction.

On the mountain path, Lu Heng thought in his heart and observed the situation in the mountain, while the people of the caravan had climbed halfway up the mountain.

Ahead, there is a pass with two mountains connected. Crossing that pass leads to the path down the mountain.

Seeing the pass, everyone in the caravan breathed a sigh of relief.

But they didn't dare to relax, and they still drove the pack animals and continued to climb towards the pass.

The pass between the two mountains is often windy. Now that the rainstorm is coming, the mountain wind is even more violent to the extent that people can't even stand stably.

However, the rhinoceros, as pack animals, were all fat and strong. They were not afraid of the fierce wind. They carried heavy goods and crossed the mountain pass under the urging of the merchants.

After crossing the pass, the path down the mountain will be much easier to walk.

Not only are the roads much more spacious, but there are no longer steep cliffs next to them. Even the wind on the mountain path is much smaller.

After a long time of silence, a voice of conversation finally sounded in the ranks of businessmen. When climbing the mountain, everyone was nervous and didn't want to talk at all.

Now relaxed, everyone felt a little bit like a survivor, but they didn't dare to relax. They still hurried the animals and wanted to go down the mountain as soon as possible.

In the rear, Lu Heng followed at the end of the team. From time to time, he glanced back at the barren mountain behind him, but he never saw the alien figure named Xiqu.

There was a little disappointment in his heart.

But it's probably a good thing for businessmen not to see Xiqu?

Lu Heng thought like this in his heart. Not long after walking, he suddenly heard a burst of sad baby crying in the mountains.

"Whoa! Whoa!"

Hearing the baby's cry, Lu Heng immediately looked into the windswept mountains.

Because when the wind blew, the baby's cry was approaching rapidly, and it was rushing in their direction, very fast!

"Stop!"

The moment Lu Heng spoke, the caravan in the front suddenly stopped and everyone panicked a little.

"Lord Wolf God, what happened?" Xin Sheng came over and asked nervously and fear.

Lu Heng walked towards the caravan in front and said, "Something from the mountain is coming this way, and its cry is like a baby. Let's stop for a moment"

With that, Lu Heng looked at the little girl beside him, "Xiao Ai!"

"Yes!" The little girl with silver hair and ears flew up directly with the dark blue Heavenly Thunder Sword on her back, landed on the hillside on the side of the road, and looked coldly in the direction of the baby's cry.

If the beast is really fierce and difficult to stop, the God Slaying Heavenly Thunder in the Heavenly Thunder Sword may be coming out of its sheath for the first time.

Not long after Xiao Ai landed on the hillside, everyone in the caravan also heard the approaching baby crying, and their faces changed greatly.

Many monsters in the wilderness make sounds like babies. Most of these monsters are cruel, fierce, and they like eating humans. If a person's mind is not strong, he is likely to be confused by the baby's crying and lured away.

It happens that the Xiqu's sound is said to be like a baby crying Is it a Xiqu?

The caravan crowd quickly gathered behind Lu Heng for fear of being attacked.

In the mountains, the wind became more and more violent, and the baby's cry became closer and closer. It was only after dozens of breaths that it appeared in the mountains not far away!

"Coming!" Lu Heng said solemnly, the dark golden animal pupil was staring in that direction, and the heavenly thunder surged in his body, ready to take action at any time.

Under the dark sky, the trees trembled rapidly under the strong wind, countless leaves rustled, and the shrill cry of the baby was getting closer and closer.

Seeing that the fierce beast running in the mountain has reached the edge of the road, being only a few feet away from everyone.

Even the merchants on the road could clearly see the terrible scene of the rapid shaking of the trees, hear the heavy footsteps, and feel the violent breath of the fierce beast.

But at the moment when everyone was terrified

Bang

With a dull sound, it seemed that something fell heavily in the mountains.

At the same time, the shrill cry of the baby also completely disappeared in the mountains and forests.

The trembling of the trees and bushes due to the beast's violent rush have calmed, and only the rustle of the wind blowing the leaves is still ringing.

The terrifying beast that has been entrenched here for decades and killed countless merchants seems to have died in the mountains ahead and can't move forward anymore

The strange silence lasted for several seconds on the road, and the merchants all looked at the Wolf God, filled with fear and respect.

Did the Wolf God kill the terrible Xiqu?

This scene is exactly the same as when Huo Feng looked at the Wolf God and vomited blood!
