Chapter 108: The old man and the dog
Outside Kyushu, there is such a place called the Great Wilderness. No one knows how big the Great Wilderness is. It is said that the Great Wilderness has no end.
This place has been controlled by the demon clan for generations, and the creatures that can live here are either dead or demons. Only in some remote and inconspicuous corners of the wilderness can one find traces of other life forms.
At this moment, there is a group of creatures wandering in the wilderness.
They have a completely different form from ordinary people, with human appearances, tigers, leopards, jackals, etc.
Their bodies are very strong, with human facial features and limbs.
But this is only the appearance of a very small part of the creatures. Most of the creatures are several to a hundred feet tall. They can jump over mountains and rubble with the wave of their hands, and can swallow rivers and seas in one bite.
They are always on a never-ending hunt.
Either devour evolution or become food.
This is the ecology of the wilderness.
At this time, in a corner of the wilderness, an old man wearing a fur coat was hiding behind a rock.
He poked his head out from among the rocks, his white beard and white hair spread out in curves, and his old eyes were a bit withered.
In front of this rock, there is a huge black wolf. It is two feet tall and three feet long. Its hair is as black as gold and stone. It is eating away at the corpse of another giant beast.
"Unfortunately, I encountered this black wolf again. I can only wait for it to leave..."
The old man slowly lay down on the ground. There was a cliff behind him and he had no way to escape, so he did not dare to make any big movements, let alone attract the attention of the black wolf.
After a long time, the black wolf seemed to be full. It licked its bloody lips and was about to leave with the body.
But at this moment, the gravel under the old man's feet suddenly loosened and rolled directly to the cliff, causing bursts of noise!
"Suffer it!"
The old man's pupils shrank, and he saw the black wolf suddenly dropped the body and looked in the direction of the old man!
"Ouch!!"
A beast roar came from the mouth of the black wolf. Seeing this, the old man could only slowly get up, bend over and move to the side step by step.
There was a cliff behind him. He couldn't turn around and run away. He could only move slowly towards Yichi. But the black wolf had already discovered it, so how could he give him a chance to escape?
I saw the black wolf leaping to the top of the cliff. It was extremely fast and rushed out like a black shadow!
The old man was shocked when he saw this. He stepped back and stepped directly on a rough stone. His whole body suddenly fell towards the cliff!
"not good……"
"ah!!"
The old man's wailing sound came from the bottom of the cliff, getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared.
Seeing the old man falling towards the cliff, the black wolf's green eyes flashed, and he had no intention of pursuing anymore, so he turned around, picked up the body and left here quickly.
But the old man who fell into the cliff did not die.
His fur coat hung on a strong branch on the edge of the cliff, giving him a moment of respite.
The old man raised his head and looked above the branch, and saw a cave above the branch, and a trail beside the cave.
This trail seems to have been carved out by someone. Although it is very difficult to walk, it should lead to the top of the cliff.
The old man waved his hand and tried to grab the branch, but at this moment, a crack suddenly opened on the branch!
Click!
The old man shrank his eyes when he saw this. When he fell, the branch's bearing capacity had almost reached its limit.
Even if he does nothing, the branch will break before long.
And the more he struggles now, the faster the branches will break.
The old man took a deep breath and prepared to make the final push!
"Woo!"
Just when the old man was about to stretch out his hand, suddenly, a beast roar came from the cave, and the old man was stunned when he heard the words.
I saw a dark beast shadow slowly walking out of the cave!
It was a creature over one meter long and half a meter tall.
It looked like a wolf, but its eyes were not as sharp as a wolf's, as if it lacked a trace of wildness. The old man took a closer look and realized that it turned out to be a completely black dog demon.
Now, the black dog is constantly approaching him.
This is really a leaky house and it rains all night.
The old man felt a little desperate at this time. He saw that the branch was about to break, but there was a dog demon blocking his way, which made him helpless.
Click!
There was a crisp sound!
The branch suddenly broke, and the old man closed his eyes in despair, but suddenly heard a burst of rapid footsteps!
No feeling of falling.
strangeness.
The old man slowly opened his eyes and saw that the dog demon jumped directly onto the tree trunk and grabbed the fur coat on his body.
The old man was a little surprised. Is this black dog trying to save him?
How could a demon save someone?
Could it be that it dragged me up and ate me, the old man thought.
He saw the black dog using all his limbs to lift him up bit by bit, dragging him to the cave on the edge of the cliff and putting him down.
The old man rolled directly to his feet and was ready for the battle!
But the black dog just looked at him and entered the cave without looking back.
The old man was deeply puzzled when he saw this. It was really strange that the black dog did not save him to eat him.
The old man recalled that there was indeed no killing intent in the black dog's eyes.
With curiosity in mind, the old man slowly walked into the cave and reached the depths of the cave carefully step by step.
With the dim light outside the cave, the old man could barely see clearly what was going on inside the cave.
There are several fur blankets and traces of a fire. Could it be that someone once lived here?
The old man continued to look and found a human skeleton.
The black dog nestled beside the skeleton. Seeing the old man coming, he did not even raise his head, as if he had no interest in him.
The old man slowly approached the black dog and took out a piece of dried meat from the leather bag on his chest and threw it to the black dog.
"You saved my life, this is my reward for you."
The black dog looked at the dried meat thrown to him and bit it directly, swallowing it without chewing, as if it was starving.
It raised its head and looked at the old man again.
The old man seemed to understand its eyes. Strange, is this really a monster?
The old man was puzzled and took out a piece of dried meat again and threw it to the black dog. The black dog caught it and swallowed it directly into his stomach.
This time, the black dog actually walked to the skeleton, picked up a leather scroll, and gently placed it in front of the old man.
The old man picked up the animal skin scroll in confusion. With the dim light outside the cave, he could barely see the handwriting on it.
There were animal-shaped characters on it.
The old man was more and more surprised as he read it, "White Ape in the Ten Thousand Beasts Scroll?!"
"It turns out that this withered bone is the predecessor of my human race, not a transformed monster. There are only six Ten Thousand Beasts Scrolls in the clan, and most of them are incomplete."
"But this White Ape Scroll is so complete. God bless my human race."
The old man was so happy that he boldly touched the black dog's head, but the black dog did not resist. Instead, he was very close to the old man.
The old man's face was happy, "You are not only my savior, but also the benefactor of the human race. I will accept this White Ape Scroll. Are you willing to go with me?"
The black dog barked, as if he understood what he meant, and walked out of the cave first.
The old man was amazed by this, "It's strange to understand human nature, strange, strange, the world of the wilderness, there are all kinds of wonders."
