Chapter 70: Difficult to Walk in the Wilderness
In front of the Wolf God Temple, the White Wolf took one step forward and left the main peak of Hanyu mountain shrouded in Heavenly Thunder Clouds.
Using the power of the mountain god, he quickly took Xiao Ai and past through the primitive jungle of the back mountain and finally reached the great lake at the end of the mountain.
Under the sun, the calm lake is sparkling, and a cool wind is blowing in their faces.
After crossing this lake, Lu Heng would leave the scope of Hanyu mountain, and his mountain god's divine power would also stop working.
But this time down the mountain, he not only looked for the opportunity to make a breakthrough, but also held the mentality of playing. So he didn't plan to hurry, but to travel leisurely all the way.
Even if he still had the power of Mountain God, he didn't plan to use it.
After a long time in the dark and enclosed underground, he can finally come out and have a look at the original scenery of this world. It is also a different experience.
It can even be said that the wind is clear and the air is cool.
For example, the crystal clear lake in front of him can be developed as a tourist attraction in his previous life. However, in this era without industrial pollution, such clear and translucent lakes can be seen everywhere.
Wild animals are rampant in the wild world, but it also means that everything in this world retains the purest and most primitive appearance, with beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery.
Looking at the swimming fish in the lake, Lu Heng couldn't help feeling nostalgic and laugh.
"Speaking of it, I haven't eaten for a long time. Before I leave, I'll take a bite of fish."
Xiao Ai, who followed Lu Heng, was a little surprised, "A bite?"
She said, "If Lord Wolf God wants to eat fish, Xiao Ai will fish and cook for you."
The huge white wolf shook his head, "No, it's too troublesome to salvage and cook. I'll take a bite and go on the road after eating."
With that, under the surprised gaze of the little girl, the White Wolf directly opened his mouth to the lake in front of him.
Under the power of the mountain god, a surging vortex suddenly appeared in the lake. Then, one by one, the plump, fresh and tender live fish fluttered out of the lake in a line and flew into Lu Heng's mouth.
Lu Heng swallowed nearly a hundred fish in one breath. Then he nodded contentedly and said, "OK, let's continue on the road."
"…." the little girl on the side looked at all this silently, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
But the white wolf had gone far away, and the little girl had to quickly follow.
In the afternoon sun, their paces were not fast, but whether it was rough terrain, overgrown wilderness, or even muddy and difficult swamp, they walked as though it was flat ground.
Soon, they left behind the lake and stepped into the wilderness south of Hanyu mountain.
Lu Heng didn't know where Fushan city was, but after retrieving the memory of the wolf demon, he had a faint feeling in his heart that the opportunity for this trip was in the south.
And when talking with the old priest, the old man also mentioned that Fushan city is located in the south of the Fire Pass Country. So although Lu Heng doesn't know the specific route, he just needs to go south.
Today, although Lu Heng has not opened the door to heaven, he has already reached the key node of transformation. Even without heavenly thunder, his cultivation base is also better than the original wolf demon.
And Xiao Ai, she has the wolf demon's two hundred years of demon cultivation, and a wisp of heavenly thunder from Lu Heng. For more than a year, she has been cultivating hard in the Hanyu mountain with abundant spirit Qi. Her strength was already beyond ordinary people's imagination.
This girl and wolf walked in the wilderness, and no beast with eyes dared to provoke them.
After all, there are few monsters with a cultivation base.
They walked all the way to the south, passed through the uninhabited wilderness after wilderness, and walked through primitive barren mountains after wilderness. They saw many strange beasts along the way, but they didn't meet a single demon.
They travel during the day and rest at night. Although Xiao Ai and Lu Heng don't need sleep, Lu Heng didn’t want to travel at night.
If they traveled in the dark, they would miss the scenery along the way and Lu Heng still wanted to maintain some habits as a human, and didn't want to really become inhuman.
So when it comes to rest at night, they will stop, find a place to light a bonfire in the wind, roast some wild animals caught in the mountains, and sample their taste. Then the girl and wolf sat around the campfire and closed their eyes until dawn.
If they are lucky enough to find a cave, they won't have to sleep in the wilderness.
With such a simple itinerary, they walked south for 15 days before walking out of this wilderness and seeing the galloping road built by human beings.
The so-called galloping road is the road connecting human cities.
It can be said to be a big livelihood project to open roads in the mountains and wilderness, flatten the forest boulders along the way, tamp the Loess and level the road surface.
However, although the world is primitive and wild, due to the existence of various cultivators, Lu Heng is not surprised by this galloping road.
Looking at the galloping road from a distance, Xiao Ai asked, "Lord Wolf God, do we need to avoid the galloping road?"
Lu Heng shook his head and said, "There is no need to avoid it. It's also an interesting experience for us to walk on the galloping road in this world."
With that, Lu Heng's body size shrunk rapidly. The original huge body shape quickly shrunk several times smaller.
Although it is still huge compared with ordinary wolves, it is not so scary.
He stood beside Xiao Ai, almost as tall as Xiao Ai.
Lu Heng laughed, "Let's go south along the road first. If the route of the road changes, we'll leave again."
"OK," Xiao Ai nodded heavily, and walked out of the primitive jungle with Lu Heng stepping on the road with compacted ground one after another.
On the galloping road, although the road is compacted, flat, and easy to walk, it is still desolate. They walked along the galloping road for a whole morning, but they didn't see a passer-by.
But this is not surprising.
Although there are galloping roads built, there are still mountains and roads between cities, wild animals are rampant, and occasionally monsters run rampant.
In such a dangerous world, most ordinary villagers don't travel far. They basically stay in the same place throughout their lifetime
Only merchants would travel between the roads, or those cultivators who are not afraid of beasts.
Lu Heng walked along the road all morning, and even met several beasts crouching in the dense forest beside the road. If ordinary people encounter these roadside beasts when they are alone, they will fall directly into the mouths of the beasts.
Even those merchants may be attacked by these beasts if they are negligent. After all, some of those beasts are even more fierce than lions and tigers.
So after walking along the road this morning, although he didn't meet any passers-by, Lu Heng had a deeper understanding of the dangers of travel in this world.
Although those beasts didn't dare to jump out and attack Lu Heng and Xiao Ai at all, it was definitely a disaster that was extremely difficult for mortals to resist.
A strange and evil beast with four sharp horns on its head…
A weird beast looks like a goat, but it is more than twice as big as a goat…
A strange beast that looks like a civet cat magnified several times, but has only one eye and three tails…
In this wild and treacherous world, beasts such as lions and tigers are not at the top of the food chain.
Above the lion and tiger, there are many more terrible things.
In the former wilderness, Lu Heng also saw many more strange beasts. Many evil beasts' appearances were so weird that Lu Heng dare not bite them for fear of getting sick.
However, there are also several vicious beasts, although they are fierce and violent, their meat tastes very delicious after being roasted by Xiao Ai.
Even Lu Heng now can't help but miss some of them and hopes to encounter those kinds of evil beasts in the next journey.

PS2: It contains c1-c69, so you don't need to buy it. You won't find advanced chapters there. If you can give a free review on Amazon, I will be happy; if you don't want to do it, I will not be disappointed either. Even if the sales are zero, it won't affect my translation speed, but if the sales are too bad, the previous translator, Ray, may not return. Because I really can't just tell her to continue translating when I already know that she won't get paid a lot of money. Lol.
PS3: If the sales are good, the editors who helped and are helping edit this novel will get paid. If the sales are bad, forget what I said. After all, it's not cheap to buy this novel's translation right from ciweimao and we need to pay them first.
