I’ll Quit Being a God

I don't know if it's because the power of the sky thunder is too special, but the research and development of the technique of concealing energy is much more difficult than Lu Heng thought.

He tried almost every method he could think of, but still couldn't make any breakthrough.

At night, there was silence in the quiet cave, except for the beeping sound of the burning fire from time to time.

Occasionally, there would be shrill howls of wild beasts coming from the distant forest, presumably another battle between the weak and the strong.

This wild forest where beasts rage is never quiet even at night.

Those beasts with good eyesight at night lurk and wander in the dark mountain forests, trying to hunt fresh blood prey. Night is a more bloody arena for them.

Occasionally, a predator will encounter a more powerful beast, and will turn into its blood-eating prey, and breathe its last breath with a shrill howl.

The wilderness after completely darkening is such a wild and brutal primitive world. The law of the jungle is the only order in this dark forest.

And the swaying light of the bonfire in this cave would occasionally attract one or two wandering beasts.

But if these beasts raging in the mountains and forests want to get close, the little girl by the campfire only needs to look at them coldly, and the ferocious and bloodthirsty beasts will be frightened, flee from here, and never dare to come near again.

In this way, the little girl silently watched the tranquility of the mountain, not letting these wild beasts disturb the Lord Wolf God's peaceful cultivation.

But in the middle of the night, something changed.

Silently, a wisp of cold air drifted outside the cave. The little girl who had closed her eyes to meditate suddenly opened her eyes, only to see a pale, translucent figure standing outside the cave at some unknown time.

When the little girl saw the other person, the translucent pale figure had no hidden intentions. Instead, it cupped its hands towards the two people and the wolf beside the campfire, and disappeared silently.

This weird picture made the little girl a little confused.

She subconsciously stood up and wanted to go out to see what was going on.

This pale, translucent figure reminded her of the ghosts she had seen before. But there are differences between the two.

The ghosts enslaved by the Red Lady are gloomy and strange, filled with an unpleasant cold air.

But this translucent pale figure is different. Although it also has a slight cold air, the overall feeling is that it is dignified and righteous, not a ghostly thing.

But the appearance of such a foreign object in this wilderness, even if the other party is not evil, people dare not ignore it.

But as soon as the little girl stood up, Huo Feng beside the fire spoke.

The pale figure did not hide his aura, and even he who had lost all his cultivation could feel it.

Huo Feng said, "Miss Ai, don't be nervous. That pale figure is just a traveling wizard from Baishi City."

"The body of this wandering wizard is located in the Fire Temple, but he can use the body of the wandering soul condensed by the incense in the temple to wander around the city and outside, searching for evil spirits."

"Although it doesn't have very powerful magical powers, it still has some mysteries."

"This kind of wandering soul incarnation is made up of the power of incense and wish. It has a strong ability to sense evil spirits. If there are evil spirits wherever it passes, it will definitely be noticed."

"And even if this wandering soul incarnation is killed by the big demon, it will not cause any harm to the wandering wizard's body."

"Their duty is to patrol the four directions within the boundary monument of Baishi City. They may have passed by here and saw a fire in the cave, so come in and have a look. There is no need to be alarmed."

Huo Feng said with a smile, "Lord Wolf God has the token of Master Zhu Gongshu from Thousand Needles City. This parade must have noticed it, so he retreated directly."

"It already knows that we are not evil spirits, otherwise it would not be polite."

Huo Feng's narration made Xiao Ai startled.

It turns out that in this land under the blessing of witchcraft, there are still roving wizards patrolling day and night, waiting for the safety of people's livelihood?

Such a thing has never been heard of in the remote Hanyu Mountain.

But Xiao Ai also understands that such waiting is not without cost.

Living under the blessing of Master Wu Zhu, one needs to pay a certain amount of tax to the Fire Temple every year. During the off-farm season, there was unavoidable corvee service.

Therefore, there are actually not a few remote villages like Shuisheng Village that are far away from the city and not under the protection of witchcraft.

Most of them were built near Chidao, not far from the boundary monument. While evading corvee taxes, they could also get a little bit of the glory of Master Wu Zhu.

After all, in a place like this that is not too far from the city, even in the wilderness where monsters are rampant, it is rare to encounter evil monsters wreaking havoc.

The existence of evil things is always rare.

Chapter 86 Red-haired Woman

After listening to Huo Feng's explanation, Xiao Ai also understood the existence of the parade, so he put down his worries and returned to the campfire to sit down.

After the parade was over, the mountain became quiet and nothing unusual happened.

The little girl closed her eyes cross-legged and did not open her eyes again until dawn.

The bonfire in the cave had been extinguished at this time, and even the charcoal had cooled.

In the cool breeze of the morning, Huo Feng was standing next to the barge horse. He reached out and took out two pieces of flour cake from the bag on the horse's back. He drank it with cold water and it was breakfast.

As for Xiao Ai and Lu Heng, they didn't have the habit of having breakfast, so Huo Feng didn't say hello.

Lu Heng looked at the blue sky outside and said with a smile, "The weather is good today, the sun is shining brightly, it's suitable for a journey."

Huo Feng, who was eating noodles, smiled bitterly and shook his head. If it were before, he would definitely agree with the Wolf God.

But now that he has lost all his cultivation, the blazing sunshine under this bright sky makes him unbearable.

But even so, this road must be taken.

After Huo Feng took a short rest, they embarked on their journey south again.

Not long after walking out of the mountain, Lu Heng and the others saw the crowds and rice fields again.

Although it has not yet gone out of the boundary monument, this place is actually far away from Baishi City.

The village next to Nachi Road is small, with only about 20 households. But this kind of small-scale village is the mainstream within the boundary monument of Baishi City.

Large villages like Shuisheng Village, with a population of several hundred people, will not appear here.

After all, there is only so much suitable land. Crops cannot be grown in many barren mountains, and there are too many people to feed.

This is the case in the small village in front of us. There are very few fields suitable for growing crops outside the village. Although the grains in the rice fields are green, it is already the limit to feed these 20 or so families.

If Shuisheng Village hadn't been backed by the big river outside Hanyu Mountain and the vast plain outside the village, which was very suitable for growing rice, it probably wouldn't have been able to feed so many villagers.

When Lu Heng and the others came out of the mountains, the villagers who were working in the rice fields were shocked.

However, Lu Heng and the others stepped on the ridges between the rice fields and headed straight towards Chidao without attacking the villagers. Seeing that the two men and the wolf were just passing by, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, a strong curiosity arose.

The villagers working in the fields were all secretly looking at Xiao Ai's strange appearance with silver hair and animal ears, guessing where this little girl came from.

As for Lu Heng, although he looks larger than an ordinary wolf, in this world where strange beasts are rampant, a larger wolf does not attract attention.

Until Lu Heng and the others left the rice fields in the mountains and embarked on the road south again, no one among the villagers paid attention to the white wolf.

But this is exactly what Lu Heng wants. Otherwise, if he wants to attract attention, he would directly reveal his true body shape. A white wolf that was taller than a country house would definitely scare all the villagers on the roadside.

The journey south was a bit boring. As they walked out of the boundary marker of White Rock City, more wild beasts were visible to the naked eye on both sides of the road.

At noon, Lu Heng and the others also met a group of traveling traders who were also heading south. There were more than forty people in total, all heavily armed, and they were surrounding an eye-catching white-fronted insect with colorful patterns at the foot of the roadside slope.

Several people in the team were injured. It seems that this big insect was lying in the field to ambush the caravan, but it failed to work. After hurting people, they were surrounded by the caravan.

When Lu Heng and the others passed by, the ten-foot-long, ferocious, white-fronted insect with eye-catching eyes was roaring angrily. The roar of the tiger could make one's scalp numb.

But compared with the ferocious roar of the tiger, the big insect was already covered with wounds and had already fallen into a desperate situation.

Now that everyone is surrounding but not killing, they are just afraid of the beast's death struggle, so they plan to consume the big insect's physical strength first.

Once this big insect is exhausted and loses its ferocious look, it will be swarmed up by the crowd and hacked to death with knives.

Lu Heng took a cursory glance and left without stopping to watch the show.

Although the merchant's team was large in number and had a lot of goods, there were no practitioners following them.

However, the more than forty people are all people with martial arts skills, and the three leaders are those who have both Rendu and Dumai, and can fight against ligers and tigers. Such a caravan is walking in the wilderness. Even if there are no practitioners following it, some little monsters with low cultivation level will not dare to provoke it.

The caravan of more than thirty people was shocked by the appearance of Lu Heng and others.

People who can walk alone in the wilderness are definitely not beings they can mess with. However, everyone in the caravan heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that Lu Heng and the others walked away without any intention of staying.

After passing the group of caravans that surrounded and killed the tigers, Lu Heng and the others did not see another trading group on their way south.

The road was desolate and empty, except for some beasts lying in the trees on the roadside. When they wanted to jump out, they were scared away by the cold look of the little girl with silver hair and animal ears.

But in the evening, footsteps could be heard vaguely behind everyone.

Lu Heng and the others looked back and found that it was a red-haired woman.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the woman was humming a strange song, holding a wine gourd in one hand, walking casually on the road, without any companions around her.

Her fiery red hair was tied loosely behind her head, looking unruly and unruly.

She followed the others, pouring a sip of wine into her mouth from time to time. Along the way, she probably drank a jar's worth of wine.

I don’t know how that little gourd can hold so much wine.

Huo Feng asked in a low voice, "Lord Wolf God, this woman seems to be following us..."

Lu Heng shook his head and said, "How can this be stalking? This is clearly an aboveboard following... Have you ever seen such arrogant stalking?"

Huo Feng hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The woman kept following them, always keeping a far enough distance. If Lu Heng and others are fast, this woman is fast. If Lu Heng and others are slow, this woman is also slow. It is obvious that they are here for everyone.

Xiao Ai glanced behind him coldly and said, "Lord Wolf God, could it be that the evil spirits from Qingming Cave are here..."

There was murderous intent in his words.

Lu Heng shook his head and said, "She is not evil, but she is definitely not an ordinary person. Her cultivation level is quite high. For such an expert, maybe she is just playing in the world of mortals. Don't worry about her. If she likes to follow, let her follow. Okay, it’s harmless.”

"If she really comes to us with something, she will definitely take the initiative to ask. For now, just leave it alone and let her be."

Lu Heng's words made Huo Feng nod in agreement. He also agreed with the Wolf God's statement.

This red-haired woman behaves strangely, but she doesn't look like a demon. For this type of expert, the most appropriate way to deal with it is to leave it alone for the time being.

Xiao Ai didn't say a word, but tightened the belt of the Heavenly Tribulation Sword.

Grandpa Li Ju of the Xifeng Department said that no one in this world can resist the power of the God's Meteor Tribulation Thunder.

So as long as she keeps the Heavenly Tribulation Sword, no one in the world can harm Lord Wolf God!

Chapter 87 I’m not good at drinking

The night falls in the west, and the stars and moon hang high.

As the sunset gradually sank into the sky, stars appeared in the increasingly gray sky.

Lu Heng and the others were still walking on the road, and the red-haired woman was still following them leisurely, keeping a distance that was neither too close nor too far away.

In the quiet mountain forest, the sound of insects can be heard on both sides of the road.

And the red-haired woman following behind everyone, although they were far apart, the sound of footsteps could always be heard clearly, clearly telling Lu Heng and others in front that I had been following.

At this point, even Lu Heng couldn't help but become curious, wondering what the red-haired woman wanted to do.

But seeing that the other party didn't speak for a long time, Lu Heng couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart.

Since you don't speak, then I won't speak either. Let's see who of us can't hold it in first.

Thinking of this, Lu Heng stopped thinking about actively talking to the woman.

After arriving at the roadside inn ahead, Lu Heng and the others went straight in, planning to stay here tonight.

And the red-haired woman followed in as expected.

Huo Feng had just cut down a tree and dragged it in, when the red-haired woman opened the door and walked into the house.

At this time, Xiao Ai had just used his hands to split the tree trunk into neat firewood, and Huo Feng was responsible for igniting the fire.

After the red-haired woman came in, she didn't even say anything. She walked to another corner of the post house and sat down. She happened to be in a corner of the house with Lu Heng and the others.

Then, under Huo Feng's vigilant and Xiao Ai's indifferent eyes, the woman stretched out her hand, and a green tree outside the post suddenly broke silently, and the tree flew directly towards the post.

When the leafy green tree flew under the night sky, its branches crackled and fell off on its own initiative.

In the end, only the bare tree trunks flew into the post.

Under Huo Feng's astonished gaze, the red-haired woman smiled and snapped her fingers, and the green tree trunk that flew to her side shattered into pieces of firewood one after another, falling onto her with a clatter. Behind them, they were neatly stacked.

And part of the wooden bars fell in front of her. The moment this part of the wood fell down, it spontaneously ignited without wind, and the warm and dim firelight instantly illuminated the figure of the red-haired woman.
