Chapter 10: The Horned Wolf
The three of them waited for five minutes. When everything around them was quiet, they were sure that the beast had left, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.
Isaac looked at Mu Xi and asked him: "Where is this place? What have you done?"
"A barren mountain outside the outskirts of Kaiens Town should have been able to teleport to a farther place if it had sufficient soul power. Unfortunately, the situation was critical at that time and I was injured again, so..."
Mu Xi wanted to continue talking, but seeing Isaac and Berich's expressions on his face, he had to explain briefly:
"You know, soul master. In addition to using soul art, soul masters can also use a power called 'Horcrux'."
"There are many types of Horcruxes and their functions are very different. The black spear used by the commander of the Black Cavalry to stab your father should be a certain level of Horcrux."
"Before those two fireballs exploded, I used the 'Space Horcrux' to bring the three of us here."
Mu Xi said, taking out a bottle of potion from the package he carried with him and throwing it into Isaac's hand.
"This is an ointment for curing bruises. If you still have the idea of returning to Aler Town, you can give up."
"What does this mean?"
Isaac, who had taken the medicine bottle, couldn't help but ask, and had a vague premonition in his heart.
"It's very simple. I just said that this is outside the town of Keins, located on the border of the Kingdom of Fire, close to the neutral zone of the Kingdom of Warriors. Not to mention whether you have the energy to travel hundreds of miles a long distance, it will be difficult to leave here alive."
Mu Xi's words were like a bolt from the blue, making Isaac's already pale face even more ugly.
He threw the medicine bottle on the ground, grabbed Mu Xi's collar and said angrily:
"Why did you bring us here? Don't you know that my father, my family, are still in the hands of the Black Cavalry? You bastard!"
"Isaac, calm down, have you forgotten that if he hadn't taken action at a critical moment, both of us would have been dead. He saved our lives, at least we are still alive now, aren't we?"
Berich patiently advised.
Isaac let go of his hand, but he still felt anxious. His family was in danger and he didn't want to continue to stay here and waste time.
"What is your 'space Horcrux'? Take it out and send me back. I'm going to find my family." Isaac said resolutely.
Mu Xi shook her head: "It's useless. The 'space teleporter' needs to set the transmission position in advance to perform transmission, and I did not leave a mark in Aler Town."
"What's more, with my current physical condition, I can't start it again in a short period of time."
"you……"
Isaac was so angry that he stomped his feet, but he had no choice but to deal with the other party.
Although my life is saved, I am trapped in the depths of this mountain where birds do not shit, and I have no maps and no food. I may even encounter huge beasts. Maybe I will get caught by accident.
"So, the most important thing is to leave here first, and what you want to do is your freedom. But I still want to remind you that with your current strength, going back to save your father is tantamount to seeking death."
"You don't have any soul power fluctuations in your body, and your strength is not even as strong as an adult woman. If you compare the Black Cavalry to a vicious dog, then you are at best an ant now. No, maybe you can't even be considered an ant."
After Mu Xi finished speaking, he began to cough violently. With a burst of dry retching, the originally bloodless face turned paler.
"So what about ants? Even if they die, I will die with them."
"Then why is this necessary? It's meaningless. What you do is just a waste of time. You feel that doing this can comfort your parents or move yourself, but in the eyes of those black cavalrymen, you are just a fool who falls into the trap."
"There is never a shortage of warriors in this world, but few people can become heroes. Remember my words, Isaac."
Mu Xi's expression changed. Isaac saw the traces of time on the tender face of his age. It seemed to have turned into the face of a vicissitudes of life, covered with lines carved with knives and slightly wrinkles.
"Stop talking big. If you are me, you will do this too. There is no reason. If you have to impose a reason on it, it is love. I love my father and my family even more. So even if I die, I must go back."
Isaac held his fists in both hands, and the nails of ten fingers were deeply embedded in the slits of flesh.
He will not succumb to strength, absolutely not!
After hearing Isaac's words, Mu Xi fell into silence.
After a while, he spoke calmly:
"You can choose to do this, it's your right."
Isaac looked up at him again, and he found that Mu Xi's eyes were a little dim.
Neither of them could convince each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Berich quickly picked up the medicine bottle thrown on the ground and suggested:
"Put the medicine first, go to the nearby area to find something to eat. It's not a solution to stay like this."
Isaac had no appetite at all, and was even a little disgusting, so he waved his hand and said:
"I'm not hungry, Mu Xi, you just said that when you use the 'space teleporter' to teleport, you must set marks at the teleportation location in advance. I'm not wrong, right?"
Mu Xi nodded and looked at him in confusion: "What do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is that since you set it up, you must have been here, otherwise how could the 'space teleporter' transfer us here?"
"You should know the way down the mountain. It's not too late now. If we are rushing all our might, we should be able to reach the foot of the mountain before dark, right?"
Isaac asked with anticipation, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.
Mu Xi sighed helplessly: "I have never been to this place. The location marked by the 'Space Teleporter' is in Kaiyins Town, but because my soul power was too disordered at that time, and the number of people teleported increased, this led to a deviation."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The final hope is dashed, and Isaac can't help but swear.
At this moment, a strange sound came from the woods again. The three of them immediately became alert and looked at the low and slightly hoarse hissing sound. Isaac's face suddenly changed.
Two wild beasts with mammoth ivory on the jaws but with wolf-shaped appearance appeared in the sight of Isaac and the three.
Judging from the general outline of the body shape, there is no doubt that this is the black shadow in the woods before, but now one more is available.
The two beasts were erecting their high heads, and their huge bodies, which were three times larger than ordinary wild wolves, were ready to attack. White saliva continued to seep out of their sharp teeth, and two pairs of green eyes stared at Isaac and the other two.
"Is this... a wolf?"
Isaac had never seen a wild wolf of this size. He had seen the corpses of young wild wolf in Alex before. Hunters in the town made coats made of peeled wolf skin to protect them from cold weather.
Mu Xi nodded with an ugly face: "Two adult horned wolves, damn it, I didn't expect to encounter them here."
"Isn't there only one before? Why is there one more now?"
Isaac stared at the silver teeth that were thirty centimeters long in the jaw of the horned wolf. He had no doubt that they could easily pierce a person's body.
"It should be that we smelled the blood from the wound on our bodies, and then went back to inform its companions. Things were tricky now."
After Mu Xi finished speaking, he began to activate the soul power in his body as much as possible.
Isaac noticed a thin layer of white light covering his body, and a long sword emitting a light yellow light appeared in his hand.
The two horned wolves had already rushed towards the three of them at this time. As they ran, Isaac even felt that the entire forest where he was trembling.
The horned wolf roared a few wolf roars from its sharp fangs, and dexterously avoided the lightsaber in the moment Mu Xi waved the lightsaber in his hand.
The two horned wolves not only move quickly, but also cooperate very well.
They always choose to attack the target from completely different angles, which makes Mu Xi not dare to slash with all his strength, and his spirit must always be concentrated at the front and back points.
He is seriously injured now, and his soul power is even less pity. After several battles, he can't hold on and starts to breathe heavily.
The horned wolves seemed to realize this. They did not intend to give their prey a chance to relax and rest, and opened their bloody mouths and pounced on them again.
Mu Xi had no extra strength to dodge, so he had to use his sword to lie in front of him. The sharp blade and wolf teeth rubbed out the hot sparks, and another horned wolf took the opportunity to bite his arm.
Mu Xi showed a painful expression on his face. He knew that the real terrifying thing about the horned wolf was not the two huge fangs.
Their saliva contains a neurotoxin. As long as the prey is bitten, it will be poisoned and will lose consciousness in a short time.
The whole arm had begun to numb, and his brain was drowsy and uncontrollably drowsy. Mu Xi's stiff body quickly fell down.
