I’ll Quit Being a God

Among the beasts that Lu Heng encountered, there were some that Lu Heng had seen in Hanyu Mountain, some that Lu Heng had never seen but Xiao Ai had heard their elders tell about their characteristics, and some that Xiao Ai had never heard of... In this wilderness... In this strange world, beasts like ligers and tigers are not at the top of the food chain.

Above the liger, there are many more terrifying things.

In the previous wilderness, Lu Heng also saw many more bizarre beasts. There were many evil beasts that were so big that Lu Heng didn't even dare to eat them for fear of getting sick.

However, there are a few evil beasts that are ferocious and violent, but after Xiao Ai roasts the meat, the taste is really unspeakable.

Even now Lu Heng can't help but miss him a little, hoping to encounter those evil beasts in the next journey.

Chapter 71 The storm in the post house

After Grain Rain, the weather became hotter and hotter.

But amid the heat, the rainfall gradually increases, and sometimes it even rains for more than ten days.

When heavy rains hit, the increasingly hot land will return to the cold again.

On the edge of the desolate road, there stood an uninhabited inn, almost blending into the dark mountain forest.

There are not a few such stations in Huotong Kingdom.

But no one has ever dared to live in such an area far away from the city. If anyone dares to live in this lonely wilderness, within a few days, ferocious beasts will enter the house and eat people.

But the mountains and roads between the cities were high, and the merchants who came and went needed a place to stay, shelter from the rain, and rest for the night.

Therefore, on the Chi Road, there will be such unmanned stations built along the way.

Although no one is inhabiting and managing the house, the house is intact and the interior is empty for business travelers coming and going to rest.

When traveling merchants check in, they also consciously maintain the facilities of the inn and clean it before leaving, so the inn is not dirty.

By this time, it was already evening.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and pale thunder and lightning flashed in the dark clouds.

The light between the mountains was gloomy. It was clearly not night yet, but the road was already blurry and dim. The cold wind howled in the wilderness, which was a sign of the coming heavy rain.

But in such harsh weather, two figures appeared far away on the desolate road.

A little girl about ten years old, carrying a dark blue ancient sword with a serious face. The long silver hair hangs down, but there is a pair of pointed animal ears on the top of the head.

Although she is very young, the little girl has a cold and charming temperament as she gazes at her, just like the faint plum blossoms blooming proudly in the cold wind in winter, which no one dares to ignore.

Next to the little girl was a huge white wolf. The figure, much taller than the wild wolf in the mountains, was walking on this deserted road with the little girl carrying a sword. There was a faint majesty in the dark golden beast eyes that made people dare not look directly.

The appearance of this man and beast broke the tranquility in the wilderness.

The little girl looked at the inn in front of her that almost blended into the night, and asked, "Lord Wolf God, there is an inn in front of you, do we want to go in and rest?"

The huge white wolf nodded and said, "It's going to rain heavily, so it would be great to have a place to take shelter from the rain. Let's rest here tonight."

With that said, one person and one wolf walked towards the post house.

This post has no courtyard walls and the houses are built directly on the roadside.

After pushing open the closed wooden door and entering, the space inside the house is huge, and the beams and domes are extremely high. If you are not picky, it will not be a problem to squeeze forty or fifty people into the room at the same time.

Behind the house is an animal pen with a roof to protect it from the rain.

When I walked into the main house, I saw traces of charcoal fire on the ground. It seemed that someone had stayed in this inn a few days ago, and there were quite a few of them.

Xiao Ai found a relatively clean corner and cleaned it up, then placed two picked green banana leaves on the ground. He didn't want Lord Wolf God to sit directly on the dusty ground.

Then, before the heavy rain fell, she went to cut down a pine tree in the wild forest on the roadside and dragged it back. Under the eaves, the little girl waved her hands and the cold light flashed, and the tough tree trunk was cut into pieces by the sharp and slender nails and turned into firewood.

After doing all this, the sharp nails growing on her slender fingers retracted silently.

Then, green smoke rose from the house, and the light of the fire illuminated the dark and deserted main room.

Lu Heng lay down next to the fire with his eyes closed, just like an ordinary wolf asleep, with nothing strange appearing.

Outside the house, the wind howled, blazing thunder and lightning pierced the night sky, and terrifying rumbles sounded from time to time.

Torrential rain has fallen on the wilderness and mountains. The cold rain kept hitting the eaves of the post house, making a crisp sound.

The little girl disemboweled a hare under the eaves, skinned and removed the fur, and used rainwater to wash away the blood on the rabbit meat. Then she dressed it with a stick and took it back to the fire for roasting.

Lu Heng opened his eyes and took a look. After seeing the little girl roasting rabbit meat, he closed his eyes again.

This rabbit was caught by Xiao Ai near Chidao in the morning, and the little girl carried it for a whole day. Lu Heng thought the little girl had a childlike innocence and wanted to raise this rabbit.

After all, children are irresistible to cute little animals.

But I didn't expect that Xiao Ai would carry this rabbit all the way so that he could use it to barbecue when he settled down at night...

In the fire, the burning bonfire made beeping sounds from time to time.

Outside, there was a roaring storm, lightning and thunder, giving people the illusion that the roof of the posthouse was about to be blown off by the strong wind.

The little girl carefully roasted the rabbit meat in her hands and prepared dinner for the Wolf God.

She doesn't need to eat every day, and neither does Lord Wolf God. But during the journey, Xiao Ai discovered that Lord Wolf God was very interested in food.

So every time when they camped after dark, the little girl would prepare some food for Lu Heng. But due to limited conditions, they are basically just barbecued meats.

The little girl regretted a little. If she had known that Lord Wolf God liked to eat, she should have brought a small pot with her when traveling. In this way, you can change the taste of Lord Wolf God from time to time.

With this thought in her mind, she decided that if she passed through the city next time, she would go to the city and buy a pot to take with her.

Lu Heng, who was beside the fire, still closed his eyes and fell into meditation, unaware of the little girl's thoughts.

The quiet bonfire has been burning for a long time, and the rabbit meat in Xiao Ai's hand has been roasted until it is shiny and fragrant.

But at this moment, in the heavy rain outside, dull footsteps suddenly sounded.

Boom--boom--

The dull footsteps sounded like a heavy giant beast walking in the rain. Although it was obscured by the sound of rain and far away, both Lu Heng and Xiao Ai heard it.

The little girl looked in the direction of Chi Dao and frowned slightly.

About a quarter of an hour later, a team of merchants appeared in her field of vision.

The number of people was not small. A team of about twenty traders drove five huge strange beasts out of the rain.

The alien beast had a fat body, short limbs, rough skin and hairless skin, and sharp horns above its thick nostrils, making it look a bit ferocious.

Xiao Ai has seen this kind of strange beast called rhinoceros. It is huge and heavy and has a docile personality. Even if you encounter a liger in the wilderness, this rhinoceros will not be as frightened as an ordinary pack horse, so many merchants will raise it as a pack animal.

Now the people driving five rhinos are an ordinary merchant team.

They were all covered in raincoats and walking quickly in the heavy rain. But the wind and rain were violent, and even though I was wearing a raincoat, I was still soaked by the rain. When they saw the fire lighting up in the post in front of them, no one among the merchants was surprised.

After all, it is normal to meet fellow travelers at this kind of roadside inn.

The merchants drove five rhinos to the door of the post house, and were about to remove the goods from the rhino's back, when they saw one person and one wolf in the house.

The huge white wolf was lying next to the fire, his eyes slightly closed, and he seemed to be asleep. But the huge size makes people dare not ignore it.

Beside the white wolf, a young girl carried a dark blue ancient sword on her back, quietly turning over the barbecue on the fire. When everyone stood outside the door, she just glanced at them coldly and then looked away, as if she had no interest in them.

But the girl's indifferent glance made everyone's breath stagnate and feel tremendous pressure.

In such a wilderness and heavy rain, such a strange man and a wolf appeared...

The merchants looked at each other with some uneasiness in their eyes.

The leader of the caravan hesitated for a few seconds, and finally walked into the door, cupped his hands and said, "We are passing merchants and we are going to Baishi City. But it is raining heavily today and it is difficult to travel in the wilderness. I wonder if the girl can make it easier. You want me to wait inside to take shelter from the rain?”

The leader of the caravan kept his posture very low, for fear of offending the little girl in front of him.

When encountering such a weird person and a wolf in such a wilderness, normal people would know that the other person must be extraordinary.

If it hadn't been for this violent storm, they wouldn't have dared to ask, but would have just driven away with the beasts of burden.

The rule of trade has always been to prefer camping to cause trouble rather than provoke people of unknown origin.

But now the rain is pouring down, and this post is the only place nearby to take shelter from the rain. The leader of the caravan has no choice but to go in and request.

After hearing his request, the little girl by the fire just glanced coldly and said, "This post was built here to facilitate the coming and going of merchants. Uncles, you can do whatever you want and don't worry about me."

After saying that, the little girl ignored her and continued to look after her barbecue.

The leader of the caravan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly thanked him, and then asked everyone to quickly unload the burdens on the beasts of burden and move them into the house, and then drive the beasts to the stables at the back to take shelter from the rain.

After finishing all this, the merchants returned to the main house and carefully lit the firewood.

They were cautious throughout the process, and the merchants tried to keep their footsteps and conversations as low as possible, for fear of disturbing the person and wolf next to them.

Chapter 72 Yunmen Huo Feng (Part 1)

The merchants' campfires were quickly lit.

They took out the firewood they carried from their bags and lit the campfire, and then gathered around the fire to keep warm.

At this time, everyone in the caravan had already changed out of their wet clothes, wrung them dry, and hung them by the fire to bake.

After driving all the way in the rain, everyone was very hungry.

While they were warming themselves by the fire, they took out the pots in their bags and put them on the fire, and began to cook porridge.

Some people went to the animal pen at the back and started feeding the pack animals with grass. The work was divided, and soon the smell of rice porridge filled the house.

It’s good to have hot porridge when you go out. What's more, some minced meat and vegetables are added to the rice porridge, so the taste is not bad.

While everyone in the caravan filled their bowls of hot porridge, the leader walked toward the corner with two bowls of hot porridge and came to the man and the wolf.

With a smile on his face, he said, "We are all friends when we go out. Girls, would you like to have some hot porridge together?"

The little girl looked at the white wolf beside her. Seeing that the white wolf still closed his eyes and said nothing, obviously not interested in the hot porridge, she shook her head and said, "No, thank you."

She didn't say much, and with a simple refusal, the leader had no choice but to go back with the porridge.

However, the tour leader only asked politely to show his goodwill. Even in a different place, he would not accept food from strangers, so the little girl's rejection did not surprise him.

But the little girl's action of looking at Bai Lang first and then answering made him feel a little confused.

After returning to his companions, the leader couldn't help but look back at the white wolf over there.

Under the dim light of the fire, the white wolf lay beside the fire, seemingly asleep. Although it is much larger than an ordinary wild wolf, there are many ferocious beasts even bigger than this white wolf in the wilderness.

It’s not surprising that a little girl who can walk alone in the wilderness has a magical white wolf with her.

But judging from the little girl's actions just now, it seems that the white wolf is the dominant one between the two.

Moreover, this little girl’s silver hair and pointed animal ears are similar to the white wolf...

The team leader lowered his head silently, not daring to look again for fear of causing misunderstanding.

As a traveling trader, everyone in the caravan is considered to have extraordinary skills. As long as they don't encounter evil people, most beasts won't be able to eat their caravan.

And even if they encounter evil spirits, there is a guarantee in their team.

But that person is not here for the time being...

The team leader subconsciously looked outside the room, feeling a little worried.

If this white wolf is really... Lao Huo, how long are you going to go...

The leader was anxious, but in order not to scare everyone, he didn't even dare to express his suspicions. Instead, he pretended to be fine and sat among the crowd.

Outside, the wind and rain became increasingly violent. Although the thunder and lightning had stopped, the rain was getting heavier and stronger, and the cold wind was tearing at everything in the mountains.

Inside the inn with the door open, cold wind blew in from time to time, chilling the body, but no one dared to close the door.

Because before they came, the door of the inn was open, and there was a man and a wolf sitting inside.

If these people just come in and close the door... Who knows whether such a move will anger the people and wolves next to them?

When you are away from home, it is better to do less than to do more. Everyone in the caravan is not a weak woman, so it won't be a big deal if they suffer some cold wind.

Beside the fire, as their bodies warmed up and the hot porridge was eaten, everyone gradually relaxed. Although they still didn't dare to make any noise, they were whispering in low voices and talking about their plans to go to White Rock City.

Occasionally there would be a burst of low laughter.

In this gradually relaxing atmosphere, a dull drum sound suddenly sounded in the dark rainstorm in the distance.

Boom--boom--

The moment the drum sounded, Xiao Ai looked up and looked outside, frowning slightly.

However, the group of merchants on the side recognized the voice and all smiled.

"Lao Huo is back..."
