The Mysterious Way of Heaven

Chapter 2

"Ah! Isn't Brother Niu cheating?" The little boy looked surprised.

"Shh! Lower your voice to Iron Egg. We are on the same team as Brother Niu."

"Oh! But will they encounter beasts? I heard my mother say that there are demonic beasts in the continous Mountain!"

Gou'zi's face was full of impatience. "The continuous mountains are vast and boundless, and no one knows how many tens of thousands of miles they have gone. They only went to the edges, and there's no way they'd ever encounter any ferocious beasts. Not all hunters in our village went to hunt ferocious beasts for a month or two. Demonic beasts? That's just a legend. We've never heard of anyone who'd ever met them before."

"Oh! Then..."

When Gouzi and Iron Egg were chattering, Li Yun and Big Bull had already arrived at the foot of the Landison Mountain.

"After entering the mountain, you and I will split up. After two hours, we will come back here. Whoever catches the prey will win. If both of us catch the prey, then whoever comes back first wins." Saying that, Niu pointed to the front,"Don't say that I take advantage of you, when we go up the mountain, the slope is gentle. There is a grassland about seven or eight miles away from us. There is a dense forest ahead. If we reach the edge of the jungle, we can't go further. If we encounter fierce beasts, there will be wild rabbits and pheasants everywhere in the grassland." Then he ran up the mountain.

Li Yun followed closely and said in his heart, "Although this bull set me up for the cold dagger, it is kind of open and aboveboard."

After going up the mountain, the two of them went separately to their left and right.

Li Yun was walking while looking for the prey. He thought, "With my kung fu, I can definitely catch prey ahead of a bull."

But half an hour had passed. Li Yun found that this place was not like what the ox said. Wild rabbits and pheasants could be seen everywhere. Looking around, there was only wild grass in front of him. There was not even a hair of a rabbit, let alone a wild rabbit.

Involuntarily, Li Yun's anger rose in his heart and he scolded in his heart, "Big cow! You bastard lied to me. If you win later, I won't give you a cold dagger... I will also take the bird back." He was determined, but he didn't give up and was still looking carefully.

At this moment, a cry suddenly came, "Li Yun, run!"

Li Yun turned back and saw that the bull that had just been separated was running towards him quickly. He frowned and was puzzled. "This guy has just deceived me. Does he want to come and see my joke? Look at him in a panic... Doesn't look like it!"

Suddenly, Li Yun's pupils contracted. He saw a Blue Wolf chasing after the ox. The Blue Wolf Li Yun had seen many times. Hunting hunters in the village often hunted it, but compared to the Blue Wolf, this wolf was at least twice the size of an ordinary Blue Wolf.

Looking at the green light in the eyes and the greedy Green Wolf rushing towards him, Li Yun was dumbfounded. His head was full of fear and his limbs were stiff. The horrible face of Green Wolf showing its fangs in his eyes was constantly enlarged.

Just as Li Yun was stunned, Big Bull had run to his front, grabbed Li Yun and shouted, "Run, don't be in a daze!"

Li Yun woke up from a dream and suddenly came to his senses. Although he was still afraid in his heart and his hands and feet were still stiff, he was able to run.

The bull dragged Li Yun and ran forward without looking back. Not knowing how long it took, they felt that there was no movement behind them. They looked back and found that the green wolf had disappeared. They fell down in a breath and sat down on the ground. Li Yun's legs, which were already soft, were too weak to lift up.

After a while, Li Yun gasped and said to the cow, "Thank you, cow! You're awesome. You're not afraid at all. I was so scared that I wouldn't move. If you hadn't pulled me, I would have been eaten by wolves."

"It's nothing. I went hunting with my father a month ago and killed a heavily injured green wolf with my own hands! Don't look down on this blue wolf's size. I found that it had blood all over its body and there was a turn on its front leg. It must be injured and can't catch up with us!" The ox said proudly.

"Didn't you say there are no beasts here? How did you find it? And, you said there were hares and pheasants everywhere, but I didn't see any of them."

"The wild rabbit and pheasant were obviously frightened by the wolf and hid themselves. This wolf is so big, I think it must be a Wolf King. However, it failed in its attempt for the throne and was driven out of the wolf pack. It was injured so much that even we couldn't catch up with it, let alone other wild beasts. It had no choice but to run to the edge of the continuous mountains to find some small animals to eat. When I saw it, it was eating the wild hare in my trap! Er..." The cow covered its mouth with its hands, but it was too late. He thought to himself, "It's all over. It's been sold too far."

Sure enough, Li Yun jumped up at once, and the sore and soft sensation on his legs disappeared instantly. "Well, I said why do you want to compete hunting with me? It turns out that you cheated!"

Daniu scratched his head with embarrassment and said, "Sorry, I'm 14 next month, and I'm going to join the hunter team. I want to find a better weapon, so I'm going to take you with me. I don't want my dagger. Don't tell my dad about it."

Li Yun pondered for a moment and looked at the bitter face of Big Niu. He laughed and said, "Haha, Big Bull, you also have a chance to ask me for help. I have made up my mind!"

Big Niu said with a bitter face, "What do you really want? I will send the bird to you when we go back later. Is that okay?"

"I decide that on the first day of the next month, I will give you the dagger myself at the ceremony when you joined the Hunters!"

In fact, when Li Yun saw that the cow was willing to stay in danger and did not run down the mountain to inform him, his hatred of the cow had disappeared, and all that remained was his recognition and touching. Although Li Yun and the cow had always been opposite each other, they were caused by different social classes. It was hard for ordinary people's children and rich people's children to get along well. After all, the environment and education they received were all different. But anyway, this was also a fight between children. They might scheme for minor benefits and fight for face. Once they encountered a life-and-death matter, the simple and kind mountain people took part in their nature.

The cow sprang up and knocked Li Yun to the ground, holding him and rolling on the ground. "Well, you're so scaring, but I really want to thank you, hahahaha..."

While laughing, they did not notice that not far behind them, a pair of cold eyes with green light were staring at them!

###Chapter2, Valiant and Wolf Thieves

Both sides smiled and let go of their past enmity. The innocence of the child was undoubtedly revealed.

While they were laughing and joking, Li Yun suddenly felt a chill rushing from the tail bone to the top of his head. The fine hair on his body suddenly rose, and an extremely dangerous feeling came to his heart. At this time, the martial arts practitioner's keen senses and reactions played a role. He grabbed the ox beside him and tried his best to rush forward.

Caught off guard, Li Yun directly pulled him to the ground. He was a scheming person, but he immediately realized that something was wrong. He immediately jumped forward with Li Yun.

The two stood still and looked back, only to see a large wolf head close at hand. The Green Wolf's nose was wrinkled, revealing sharp fangs. The whirring sound came from its throat, and the blue wolf eyes were shining with bloodthirsty light.

"It's over!" The ox looked desperate. It was obviously too late to escape. The two sides were too close, so it had enough time to turn around. The green wolf would jump up and bite him to death.

The bull accepted its fate and wanted to close its eyes. Suddenly, a loud shout came from the side, "Big bull, run! Return to the village and call your father and uncle Cheng over!"

The bull squinted and saw that Li Yun's face was red. Li Yun bent down and exerted force on his waist and abdomen. He wielded a whip hammer to hit the wolf head. Although Li Yun was still afraid in his heart at this time, he no longer had the panic feeling when he first met the green wolf.

"Bang!" The Green Wolf was knocked back, and Li Yun's arm was numb. His feet sank into the ground and felt a sharp pain. The Green Wolf shook its dizzy head and did not pounce on Li Yun again. It stood on the spot and stared at Li Yun with vigilance, as if it knew that the person in front of it was not a man to be trifled with.

By this time, the ox had come back to his senses. When he saw Li Yun beat back Green Wolf, he regained his confidence. He shouted to Li Yun, "Li Yun, you're really amazing. With more effort, you can definitely kill this injured Green Wolf..." As he spoke, he said to himself, "I let my father protect it, but it took more than half a month to feel afraid of the beasts. This guy got used to it at once. No wonder my father always praised him for his high talent!"

Li Yun's legs were trembling. He stared at Green Wolf and didn't dare to look back. He said with a trembling voice, "Don't be noisy anymore. This guy's body is very hard. My arm is still numb. I may not defeat him. You'd better go back and ask for help. You're here and I'll pay attention to you. Maybe we'll both die here. You go now. I'll entangle him."

Big Niu also felt that he was being a burden to Li Yun, so he promised, "Well, I'll go back and call the people. You must be careful! This wolf is very cunning. It knows to go around the way to block us. Right, the wolf head is the toughest, and its waist is the softest. You can attack its waist, and there is a cold dagger in your arms. I'll go first." After saying that, he turned and ran down the mountain.

Seeing the ox run away, Green Wolf ignored it and continued to stare at Li Yun. This situation was exactly what Li Yun wanted to see the most. "When the bull goes back and calls people, as long as it can hold on until Uncle Cheng arrives, it will be safe."

Staring at Green Wolf in front of him, Li Yun secretly thought, "I have to calm down as soon as possible, otherwise I will definitely die."

Li Yun took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. Gradually, he completely relaxed. His breath became calm and long, and the only thing left in his eyes was the Green Wolf in front of him.
