3 Return to the Shen Family ()
Since he still had enough gold soul coins, Shen Hanyu naturally did not compromise himself and hired a two-horse carriage that looked high-end and classy.It cost a full fifty gold soul coins, but it was worth it. The interior of the carriage was decorated very luxuriously, and even the carpets and cushions were made of snow fox fur.
Snow foxes are a very common soul beast in the Far North. There are a lot of them, and they usually live for about ten or a hundred years. There are no snow foxes that are too powerful, so the fur of this species is very popular in the market. There are even many nobles in inland areas who will buy it specifically, which shows how comfortable it is.
The carriage slowly moved southward on the icy and snowy road.
The Shen family did not choose to live on the outskirts of the Far North, but chose to settle in a warmer area near the Elemental City. Although the winter is still a bit cold, it is much better than the Far North where it is winter all year round.
As they slowly moved away from the world of ice and snow, green began to appear on the surrounding hillsides. Shen Hanyu, who hadn't seen green leaves for more than half a year, couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Although it's not very good-looking, it's pleasing to the eyes!
The ice and snow on the road began to melt slowly, the speed of the carriage gradually increased, the scenery outside the window quickly receded, and even the wind had a hint of warmth and stickiness, no longer as dry and cold as the Far North before.
The coachman was a middle-aged man with fluctuations of soul power, but he was at most a soul master of level 12 or 13, otherwise he would not be able to afford such a luxurious carriage.
The middle-aged man was very talkative. Along the way, he could chat about everything from small matters like family gossip to big matters like the frictions between major forces.
Shen Hanyu also became interested. He had been in the Far North for so long that he hadn't had a good conversation with anyone for a long time. If you didn't know him, you would think he had a very cold personality.
"Brother, has anything big happened in the Spirit Hall recently?"
Shen Hanyu leaned against the window, looking at the scenery outside, and asked the middle-aged man in front of him.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said,
"There are many things about the Spirit Hall. For example, the Pope of the Spirit Hall a few days ago, his name was... something, it seemed that he showed his strength in a big competition. Wow... young man, you may not know that the Pope's ninth spirit ring is actually red. It is said to be the legendary 100,000-year spirit ring. It shocked many people at the time..."
"Also, the Pope of the Spirit Hall seems to have accepted a special disciple, who was only recently announced. I didn't hear his name clearly, but I heard that he has big breasts and is very sexy..."
Hearing this, Shen Hanyu burst out laughing and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Okay, okay, very sexy, right? Isn't that the white-eyed vixen Hu Liena? It seems that it is still early in the plot. When the main characters and supporting roles are about to appear on the stage, Shen Hanyu calculated that he would be very strong by then anyway, at least he could ignore the general threats.
I continued chatting with this interesting brother for a while, and night had slowly fallen.
Not only does it get dark abnormally early in the Far North and the areas radiated by it, but the temperature also drops rapidly at night. Even though it is dark, it is still visible, probably because of the aurora in the sky and the snow on the ground. There is just an inexplicably weird atmosphere in it.
When the carriage drove into a valley, Shen Hanyu, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then he quickly lifted the curtains and looked into the jungle not far away. Something there attracted his attention.
Under the cover of dense bushes and trees, burly figures quickly moved through the forest, closely following the carriage.
Shen Hanyu tried his best to explore with his mental strength, but he could only vaguely see the shapes of those things.
It looks very much like a human, but has a head that is between a wolf and a human, its body is covered with wolf hair, its hands are full of sharp claws, but it can walk upright like a human, and even its distribution is in an orderly manner.
Wolf Thief! This name flashed through Shen Hanyu's mind.
The Wolf Thief is the offspring of the Wind Demon Wolf and a human. He is extremely intelligent and possesses the Wind Demon Wolf's powerful attack power and extremely fast speed. He feeds on humans and is very greedy. Now that he has been targeted by such a group of soul beasts, if he cannot handle it well, both he and the coachman will probably die tonight.
The coachman didn't notice anything unusual at all, and was even humming an unknown tune with interest, driving the carriage slowly and leisurely forward.
Shen Hanyu cursed inwardly that he was unlucky. There were about twenty or thirty wolf thieves in this group. The leading one even had barely reached ten thousand years of cultivation. The rest were very average. There were three with a thousand years of cultivation, and the rest were cannon fodder with a hundred years of cultivation.
Listening to the leisurely and joyful tune sung by the driver, Shen Hanyu no longer knew whether to say that the driver was broad-minded or narrow-minded...
Fortunately he didn't know, otherwise the carriage would have been running away by now.
Shen Hanyu suddenly felt a little bit of evil interest. He opened the car window and said something without any context:
"Brother, do you know if there are any robbers around here?"
The driver paused in his humming, then shuddered all over, as if he suddenly remembered something. He turned around stiffly and said tremblingly,
"Little brother, this is my fault. It's all because I drank half a pound of horse urine this afternoon and forgot about such a serious matter. There have always been wolf bandits in this area, but you see we have come so far, probably the wolf bandits have eaten and drunk enough and gone to sleep tonight. Don't worry, we still have half an hour to get out of this forest."
The corner of Shen Hanyu's mouth twitched, and he secretly admired the talent. He said unhappily:
"Brother, there is no need to go. We have been targeted by the wolf bandits for a long time. They followed us all the way, probably to make sure there is no danger. If you go another 200 meters forward, we will probably die here."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The coachman shuddered all over, then quickly tightened the reins of the horse and looked forward in horror.
Through the hazy moonlight, several figures suddenly appeared not far away, standing and waving. The vision was obstructed at night, so the specific appearance could not be seen clearly. I could only barely see that they were very tall and quite majestic.
The driver swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then said with a trembling voice:
"Little brother, you...you are a spirit master, right?...this...I really can't do anything...You know, I am only a twelfth-level spirit master, and my first spirit ring is white...this...I really can't do anything...How about we write our last words first...Maybe we can even leave a letter for our family..."
Shen Hanyu rolled his eyes, then opened the door curtain, jumped out of the car, and said,
"Brother, get in the car. I can't guarantee your safety later. If you really can't, just run in the direction you came from. There are basically no wolf bandits behind you, and even if there are, they can't catch up with your two wildebeests. Understand?"
"I understand! Come on brother, I'm here to cheer you up..."
The driver nodded rapidly, then crawled into the carriage, not daring to even stick his head out.
Shen Hanyu sighed helplessly, then he took the Frost Sky Spear, and four soul rings rose up under his feet. An extremely cold and sharp aura swept over, and for a moment, all the nearby flowers and plants were frozen into ice cubes...
